"That's okay..." Xia Shang replied lightly and left without looking back, "I can just go to Shili County by myself."
Pan Zhi was stunned for a moment, then quickened his pace to catch up again, holding Xia Shang back: "Hey, hey...brother, you misunderstood what I meant. What I mean is...this...this, since brother is a Mingjiao
If you are a person, then following your brother will definitely add more risks. At this price...can you..."
"Well, I'll give you a hundred taels. In addition to asking me for good news, you will also be responsible for my safety along the way. If the situation like that happens again, you must not be merciful anymore. I can see that,
Those five masked men just now are no match for you, but you hesitated at every turn because you were afraid that I wouldn't give you money, right?"
"Ahem..." Pan Zhi coughed twice in embarrassment, raised his head, and said with dignity, "That's natural, how can I beat those little thieves just now? Since the brothers are so happy, then why don't I?
I readily agreed. Although I can’t guarantee that the information will be revealed 100%, my brother’s safety is guaranteed by me.”
After some negotiation, the two of them arrived in Shili County smoothly.
After seeing the golden silkworm armor on Xia Shang's body, people with evil intentions around him became more patient.
Everyone knows in their hearts that at such an age, a person who can wear golden silkworm armor is definitely not an ordinary person. If you want to take action, you can't just grab some money casually. All actions must be more careful.
.
The Shiyuan Casino in Shili County is not far from the east entrance of the county.
The small county town in the middle of the rivers and lakes is very chaotic. The yamen here don't care at all. Any problems that arise are resolved privately between the rivers and lakes.
Before they even got inside, they saw a few people fighting outside. Everyone was bleeding, and a young man was lying on the ground dying.
Such a scene must have been crowded elsewhere, but here there was not a single onlooker, and the shouts in the casino were still enthusiastic.
As soon as Xia Shang arrived at the door, a man who had lost all his money was thrown out by several people. His body was bruised and bruised, but after he stood up, he kept shouting: "I can still gamble, why don't you let me play!"
I still have these two hands, one leg and one life. If you have the guts, just follow
I bet my life!"
Xia Shang bypassed this man and entered the gambling house.
In addition to Pan Zhi, there were three people wearing black cloaks and hats who entered at the same time as Xia Shang.
These three people are a little weird. Their whole bodies are hidden under their cloaks, their faces are covered by bamboo hats, and their walking postures are also a little different from ordinary people.
Xia Shang didn't pay too much attention. After all, there were too many strange people and strange things in the world, and it was not unusual for a few people to look strange.
The gambling house was filled with smoke and an unpleasant stench.
But the space inside is larger than expected, and although there are many people, it's not too crowded.
No one paid attention to Xia Shang inside, but after Pan Zhi entered, someone quickly gathered around him.
"Hey, Mr. Pan, did you bring a new guy here to try your luck today?"
"My brother is not here to gamble, he is here to be your boss. I have something to ask."
"Looking for our boss?"
Upon hearing this, the speaker immediately became cold and glanced at Xia Shang: "What's the matter? Tell me the same thing."
"Like you, why don't I ask you directly? You don't know this. You have to tell the boss."
"Oh, that's really unfortunate. Our leader is not here right now."
"Not here? When will you come back?"
"I don't know..."
Pan Zhi glanced at Xia Shang and said in a low voice: "Brother, these scoundrels are difficult to deal with. If we can give them a little reward, the door on their mouths will be loosened."
Xia Shang didn't say anything and silently took out some broken silver.
No matter where you are these days, everyone's eyes will light up as long as they see silver.
The other party collected the money, handed it over to Xia Shang, and then said with a smile: "Master Pan, I am really not kidding you. The leader is really not here."
"How dare you accept our money when we're not here?"
"Although the boss is not in the store, I know where the boss has gone, right?"
"Then why don't you tell me quickly?" Pan Zhi was a little impatient.
The man was very cautious, looked around, then pulled the two of them to a corner, lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the master was summoned to Liuyun Sect by the superiors.
"
"Liuyun Sect? Why are you Haotian League people going to Liuyun Sect?"
The other party smiled: "Master Pan, you know everything. Have you never heard of this? You are really old and your information is not good..."
"Hey, just say it quickly, how can you be so different from me?"
"Big things have happened in the world recently! Another sect has been wiped out."
"What?" Pan Zhi's eyes widened and he took a breath, "The sect was wiped out?! Which sect? Why is there no news at all?"
"Loushan Tianmen."
"Is it that small sect that was founded at the same time as the Mingjiao?"
"That's the one!"
"The leader of the Tianmen seems to have good martial arts skills and a lot of disciples. He should have caused a lot of noise in the world, but he had no choice but to bump into the Mingjiao that appeared at the same time, so he didn't attract the attention of the martial arts. But...but his sect is good.
, why was the family wiped out? Who did it? It couldn’t be the Haotian Alliance again, right?"
"Bah! This thing is really weird. I still don't know who wiped out the family. Not a single person was left alive. The sect was completely burned. The leader said that the Haotian Alliance was wronged.
Because the Gujian Sect was slaughtered last time, all the sects who got the news this time suspected that it was Haotian Alliance. I don’t know who passed the news to Liuyun Sect, and Ye Zong of Liuyun Sect was mainly involved in this matter. You also know
The situation of the Haotian Alliance is already very difficult under the oppression of the Ming Cult. How can they provoke such a big shot as the Liuyun Sect?
No, in order to resolve the misunderstanding, the leader of the Haotian Alliance personally took people to Shangliu Yunzong to explain. I don’t know if this matter can be explained clearly. If the blame is really passed on to the Haotian Alliance, it is estimated that the Haotian Alliance will
The fun is over. Our gambling den will only have a few good days."
"Are you really wronged?"
"You are really wronged! How can this matter be false? You don't know that the head of the family was so anxious after hearing the news that he cried for father and mother every day, saying that it was unfair."
Pan Zhi laughed and said: "Hahaha, who made the Haotian Alliance bully the weak and fear the strong? Who made them do that kind of thing to the Ancient Sword Sect? Now they are being punished..."
"Okay, let's go." Before Pan Zhi could finish his words, Xia Shang interrupted him, "Since the person I'm looking for has gone to Liuyun Sect, let's go to Liuyun Sect now."
