The autumn sun shines in the sky at noon, the sky is high, the clouds are light, and there is no trace of birds.
On the wide and flat official road, horses galloped, and dust flew between the horses' hooves, rolling behind them like a python. It was late autumn, the air was even drier, and the billowing dust made people seem even hotter.
Lin Xiao was sitting on the horse, his expression calm, but his eyes were a little excited.
Holding a sword and riding a horse with only a thin shirt. The dream I had when I was young, but because of my poor family background, it has always been just a dream. Today, it has finally come true. It feels so wonderful.
At first, Lin Xiao was still hesitant about whether he should ride a horse or a horse. As soon as he got on the horse, he began to master the trick after a few bumps. He successfully got on the horse and galloped towards Qingpeng Township. The wind blew in his face.
Lin Xiao could clearly feel the flow speed, frequency, and trajectory of the airflow, as if he had accurately sensed and captured it.
At that moment, Lin Xiao even had a feeling like "I can control the air flow and control the wind."
This trip to Qingpeng Township was to reinforce the Baiyun Gang's branch in Qingpeng Township. However, Lin Xiao did not intend to show up directly. Instead, he wanted to show up after the Black Earth Gang attacked. A surprise might have a better effect.
The horse galloped, and Lin Xiao's body seemed to be integrated with the horse's back, rising and falling as smoothly and naturally as waves.
Immediately, Lin Xiao took out an inner refining pill, threw it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it like a jelly bean. A wave of heat suddenly spread through the body, and was quickly refined by the Tianhe inner breath technique in the realm of transformation.
, to supplement the consumption of squeezing strength from the muscles, bones, flesh and blood, accelerate the condensation of internal strength, and accelerate the improvement of cultivation.
Lin Xiao didn't dare to be so extravagant before. After all, one inner training pill costs 500 tributes, and tributes are not easy to obtain. But this time, he was not only directly promoted from a small boss in the hall to a protector, it was equivalent to a leap.
I have three levels: big boss, deputy hall leader, and hall leader, and my status has soared. Damn it k/Watch it happily' rz'
This is another step closer to being a gang leader.
In addition, after some statistics by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, plus additional rewards, Lin Xiao received a total of 50,000 tributes, which was a huge sum of money.
Fifty thousand tributes were enough to exchange for one hundred internal elixirs. Unfortunately, there were not so many internal elixirs in the Internal Affairs Hall. Others also needed them. In the end, Lin Xiao exchanged twenty internal elixirs first, and then Lin Xiao
Xiao plans to keep ten of them as spares, and the other ten will be used to assist in training and strive to further improve his cultivation.
Sometimes Lin Xiao is quite conflicted. Should he improve his cultivation level?
If the cultivation level is not improved, it will be relatively easier to obtain a record, but if the cultivation level is improved, the strength will be stronger, and it seems that it will be easier to obtain a record. After thinking about it, Lin Xiao confused himself, and finally decided to give it up.
Practice hard, and think about the awe-inspiring majesty of the Tiger King that night, how amazing it was, and I really want to experience it.
The martial arts master is already so amazing, but what about the martial arts master?
What kind of scene should it be?
And what about being a martial arts master?
I also want to have that kind of style.
The Tianhe Inner Breath Technique that has entered the realm of transformation can refining the inner elixir very quickly and has a higher effect. It can squeeze out the medicinal power of the inner elixir more fully and reduce the impact of impurities on itself.
This is the sixth inner training pill that Lin Xiao has taken. Wisps of strength are continuously squeezed out from the muscles, bones, flesh and blood. As the Tianhe Internal Breathing Technique operates, it is integrated into Lin Xiao's existing body like all rivers flowing back.
Within the inner strength, strengthen that inner strength.
Suddenly, Lin Xiao felt as if his body was trembling. The internal energy suddenly became much stronger, doubled directly, and seemed to become lighter, faster, tougher, and full of astonishing explosive power. As the stronger internal energy moved,
, wherever he went, Lin Xiao could clearly feel the strength of the muscles and bones there, as if they were swollen by the influx of large amounts of blood.
"I have made a breakthrough, right? I have achieved some success through internal training." A smile appeared on Lin Xiao's face.
As your cultivation improves, so does your strength. It feels wonderful, and you are one step closer to being a martial arts master.
"The strength and status have improved, which is great."
…
In the Juyi Hall of the Black Earth Gang's main hall, the gang leader Li Feichen, the three elders, the eight guardians, and the four hall leaders were all present.
"Last night, the Baiyun Gang was attacked by a powerful enemy and suffered heavy losses. They abandoned all major venues and retreated to the main hall." Li Feichen glanced over and said slowly: "But the exact amount of losses has not been found out.
This may also be Ma Guangyuan's attempt to create suspicion and lure us into attacking."
"What the gang leader said is absolutely true. Ma Guangyuan has a complicated mind." An elder agreed.
"Ma Guangyuan is just a little clever." Li Fei sneered coldly, with a hint of disdain in his words: "The Baiyun Gang must have been damaged last night. As for the extent of the damage, we don't know yet, but we can test it."
"Ma Guangyuan was also sure that I would make a test, and even thought that I would use Qingpeng Township and Shangshui Township as a test." Li Feichen sneered again and again, as if with a bit of ridicule, as if he had grasped all the other party's thoughts: "
Now, Ma Guangyuan sent people to Qingpeng Township and Shangshui Township respectively, intending to support the Baiyun branch there. Haha, he ignored Qingtong Township, so we followed Ma Guangyuan's wishes and sent some people to Qingpeng Township and Shangshui Township respectively.
, as for those who go to Qingtong Township, they must act in secret."
"Ma Guangyuan probably didn't expect that people from Qingtong Township would actually come to us and ask us to come in and replace the Baiyun Gang in taking charge of Qingtong Township."
"Who told that old guy Wang Xingyang's son to be too cruel and too stupid?"
"Palace Master Cai, you first go to Qingpeng Township to find an opportunity to contact Lin Wuming and see if you can win him over for our use." Li Feichen looked at a lean man who was one of the eight guardians, his expression a little solemn.
He said: "That Lin Wuming has already been trained inside, and he is extremely talented. If he cannot be used by us, we must get rid of him as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Gang Leader. If he can't be won over, I will notify Jiliang Teahouse to take his life." The leader of the Internal Affairs Hall suddenly grinned.
"Very good, this test is very important." Li Fei said solemnly: "It will affect whether our Black Earth Gang can continue to expand and monopolize the Eastern District."
…
Dozens of people were gathered at Wang Tiande's home in Zhenwei Building, Qingtong Township, each of whom was a merchant on Wuli Street.
"Shopkeeper Wang, what do you think? Has the Black Soil Gang agreed?"
Eyes fell on Wang Tiande's fat face, waiting for his answer.
Wang Tiande, on the other hand, picked up the smooth and round purple sand teapot and took a sip. His carefree look made everyone anxious.
"Quickly say it's Shopkeeper Wang."
"Yes, tell me quickly, what does the Black Soil Gang mean?"
"What's the hurry?" Wang Tiande didn't have the panic and embarrassment he had when he was caught in Baiyuntang that day. Instead, he looked like the old god was there: "You should know from the look on my face that the matter is done. All we need is our cooperation.
The Black Earth Gang's actions allowed their people to disguise themselves as cargo traders to avoid the Baiyun Gang's spies."
"good."
"Just do it like this, otherwise we will be tortured to death by Wang Tianhua's grandson sooner or later."
"Huh, if the money is doubled, that means you won't give us a way to live. If you don't give us a way to live, we'll kill him first."
"It's enough to double the money, but Guisun is still allowing his subordinates to take advantage of the situation, just to get us to death."
Once a person is pushed into a hurry, he can really say anything and do anything.
Doubling the order money means that their profits will directly drop a lot. Some merchants can still make money, such as Zhenweilou. Even if the order money doubles, they will not lose money. At most, their profits will be less. But some merchants once order money
Doubling the amount is almost equivalent to a month's work being wasted, who can bear it?
Not only that, Wang Tianhua did not deliberately restrain his subordinates, and the gang rules set by He Mingshan had been gradually broken. The atmosphere of cheating and taking cards gradually spread among the gang members, and the scene was no longer the same as before.
Forced by the situation, the merchants had to find a way out, otherwise, they would really be killed by the current Baiyun Gang.
…
In Baiyuntang, Wang Tianhua was sitting leisurely. The emperor was far away, and he was the branch leader. He had the final say here, and orders were given out. Everyone must obey and obey.
"Young Master, there is news from the main gang that there is a strong enemy attack and the losses are not small. We should be more vigilant to prevent accidents." Wang Ran said in a solemn tone.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ran. Now that Qingtong Township belongs to us, who can make trouble?" Wang Tianhua sat up straight and shouted with high spirits: "Who dares to make trouble?"
"Of course people in Qingtong Township don't dare. They are afraid of people from the Black Tu Gang." Wang Ran responded.
"The Black Soil Gang." Wang Tianhua raised the corner of his mouth, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his face: "I hope they can come. When the time comes, I will ask them all to explain here. That will be a great achievement."
"When the time comes, I will send the doubled amount of money to the main gang and record it in my credit book. When I am transferred back to the main gang, I will be able to seize the position of a hall leader." Wang Tianhua said more and more.
He was excited, elated, and seemed to have a bright future.
"Brother Tianhua, you are so wise." Li Xiaowan said softly.
"That's right." Wang Tianhua even laughed proudly.
Wang Ran didn't say anything else. He still knew the personality of his young master very well, but as a retainer, he couldn't judge anything. All he wanted was to help and assist with all his heart.
It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong. You are still young and you still have a long way to go. You always need experiences to grow.
However, neither Wang Ran nor Wang Tianhua expected that the merchants who were oppressed by them would dare to secretly join forces to cause trouble, and they did not expect that Wang Tiande, the owner of Zhenweilou, who was frightened and frightened in front of them, would dare to
He went to the Black Soil Gang and asked them to enter Qingtong Township. He also secretly cooperated with them and provided them with disguises.
