After finally reaching the depths of the warehouse and seeing the place where the women were imprisoned right in front of them, Manager Chen thought he could breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Then, what is that?"
This is located in the deepest part of the dungeon. Because there are very few people imprisoned, there are not many light sources. And because the dome is as high as a second floor, it is pitch black above. If you don’t raise your head deliberately, it is difficult to notice the situation above.
.
Manager Chen looked up following the sound, and as far as his eyes could see, there were figures hanging one after another.
These are the same people who disappeared earlier.
There were senior executives who disappeared out of thin air after being punched, as well as Lao Zhou, Xiao Luan and others. They were all bound by thin strips of paper like ropes, hanging precariously on the dome of the dungeon.
Before joining Nanyang United Trading Company, Manager Chen was considered an old man. He thought he had experienced countless storms in his life. But when he suddenly saw this situation, he couldn't help but tremble. His legs were trembling, his knees were weak, and he could hardly stand still.
. He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he felt that his throat was dry and he couldn't make any sound after "ho ho" several times.
The leader, Manager Chen, was like this, and as you can imagine, some of the others could no longer stand and collapsed on the ground.
Whether it's a deity or a thousand-year-old ghost, there's never even a shadow of it. ??
As a result, he was hung up like a shadow puppet.
This scene really broke their hearts.
However, most of these people are reckless people who make a living by tying their heads on their belts. Some people are so frightened and angry that they start to curse, "Things without eggs will secretly pick out their crotches, and those who have the guts will come out to fight with me for three seconds."
A hundred rounds, damn it, I’ll pull out your bastard skin, come out! Shameless bastard, come out here!”
Manager Chen wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
A thin strip of paper, only as thick as a finger, descended from above and wrapped around the person's neck as if it was spiritual. Then it was lifted up, and the person was suspended like his companions. It's just a congenital person.
His vitality is quite tenacious, and he cannot be strangled to death. However, his feet are still kicking desperately, like a fish that is struggling to its death.
After a while, the struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally he stopped moving. I don't know whether he died or fainted.
When the others saw this scene, they immediately became silent.
It's not that they don't dare to come out, but they attack in front of you, and you can't find any trace.
Manager Chen was even more frightened. He had no intention of killing anyone anymore and just wanted to escape from this place.
He then looked at other people,
I saw that everyone's face was gray and extremely frightened.
At this moment, those paper butterflies that came from nowhere flew back again, and then formed eight big characters in the air: "Those who escape will die and those who surrender will not be killed."
Manager Chen's mind suddenly changed and he shouted, "Don't be fooled, everyone. He is alone. Let's run away separately."
As soon as he finished speaking, three people immediately moved and fled in different directions.
They were so frightened that they just wanted to escape from this place. It was too late to think too much.
The layout of the dungeon here is like a chessboard, so it extends in all directions and has many forks, so even a dozen people can escape separately.
Then I saw the butterflies that formed the big characters suddenly dispersed and divided into three waves. They flew extremely fast and densely attached to the three people who escaped. In an instant, they wrapped the three people into three paper cocoons and soon became motionless.
Although Manager Chen yelled and ran away separately, he himself stood still and did not move at all.
Seeing this scene, Manager Chen's face no longer had any color at all.
Others were even more desperate when they saw this scene. There was only a "clang" sound, and the weapon in someone's hand fell to the ground. It was like a chain reaction. Others also dropped their weapons, knelt down on the ground, and raised their hands high.
Raise your hands.
On the other side, Manager Sun's experience was slightly better, but it was also quite limited.
Because they directly saw Zhang Yuelu himself, they died a little more happily.
The Exiled Immortal is the first of the Five Immortals, and also the Infinite Heavenly Being. Although there are more than a dozen innate masters here, their cultivation levels are uneven. Sun Guanshi has returned to his true state, but most of the others are at the Kunlun stage or the Yuxu stage.
, it’s really not worth mentioning. After meeting Zhang Yuelu, even if they were shoulder to shoulder, they were not Zhang Yuelu’s enemy.
The reason why Zhang Yuelu was so mysterious was simply because she was afraid that something might slip through the net. It would still take a lot of effort for her to capture these dozens of people alive by one person.
After Zhang Yuelu appeared, he didn't say any nonsense and directly used "Six Void Tribulations".
Anyone she touched, even through a sword, was immediately unable to move and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
Only Principal Sun was left, and he turned around and ran away without hesitation. Then Zhang Yuelu broke his leg with a flick of his finger and fell to his knees.
After doing this, Zhang Yuelu opened the sutra urn and used the power of sound transmission to
After being able to contact Qi Xuansu, "Tianyuan, please send someone to No. 23, Yuwei Street, Central District. I have prepared a big gift for you here."
Qi Xuansu on the other side was entertaining guests. It was none other than Xie Jiaofeng, the deputy head of Tianfu Palace. He ran to Qi Xuansu in the middle of the night. Of course, he didn't want to meet Qi Xuansu because he wanted to have a long talk, but because he wanted to have a long conversation with him.
To make amends for the assassination during the day, I would like to explain a thing or two. I hope Master Qi will not take it to heart.
Qi Xuansu didn't take it too seriously, but he really wanted to pretend to take it seriously. What Chen Jianchou said at the reception banquet was intentional, and it could also be regarded as coming from Qi Xuansu's instruction, forcing him to
Xie Jiaofeng and Qin Heng both expressed their opinions. As those businessmen had judged, these two people are now in a state of being manipulated by Qi Xuansu, and they must cooperate with Qi Xuansu, otherwise Qi Xuansu will make a fuss, and both of them will not be able to escape the relationship. They must be responsible for this
Responsible for a sudden assassination incident.
This is the case in public affairs. We must seize every opportunity we can and turn passivity into initiative. Blessings lie where misfortunes lie, and misfortunes lie where blessings rely.
Qi Xuansu was deliberately perfunctory. On the surface, he said that Deputy Palace Master Xie didn't need to worry and would just check it out slowly. However, his attitude didn't seem like he didn't care, leaving Xie Jiaofeng doubtful.
According to Qi Xuansu's thoughts, he could only act according to the route designed by Qi Xuansu for him. This is a matter of discretion.
Who allowed him to be caught by Qi Xuansu? After all, Qin Hengjun was a member of the imperial court and was separated by a layer, but Xie Jiaofeng was a member of the Taoist government and could not escape.
Qi Xuansu was inspired by this. If he encounters such a situation again in the future, he can put himself in the position of a victim, occupy the moral high ground, win the sympathy of others, and actually play a similar role.
To break the situation, this is exactly the bitter trick among the thirty-six strategies.
However, this kind of strategy is not used as a last resort. It is best not to use it. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Take this assassination as an example. If Qi Xuansu is successfully killed, everything will be fine. But if it fails, it will be used by Qi Xuansu and become Qi Xuansu's weapon.
, let Qi Xuansu turn passive into active. In the same way, if the bitter meat trick is used well, it can allow one to occupy the moral high ground. But once it is used badly, or is discovered by others, it will directly make one fall to the moral bottom, and the backlash will be huge.
. .??.
After receiving Zhang Yuelu's message, Qi Xuansu said to Xie Jiaofeng, "Deputy Palace Master Xie, I just received news that my people destroyed an illegal slave trading den."
In an instant, many things flashed through Xie Jiaofeng's mind.
His first reaction was,
Qi Zhenren's counterattack has begun? Is it targeting "Heavenly Court"?
In fact, Xie Jiaofeng also felt that "Tianting" was the most suspicious.
There are rumors in the world that Feng Bo of "Tianting" had some feud with Chief Qi. He once assassinated Chief Qi, who was still relatively weak at the time, under the nose of Wuxu Palace and cut off one of Chief Qi's arms.
There are also rumors that Li Tianzhen, the young master of the Li family, is in love with Zhang Cixi, but he just wants to get it. Now seeing that Chief Qi and Zhang Cixi have even prepared a new house, and it is said that the Zhang family has begun to prepare a dowry, I must feel sour in my heart.
To put it more seriously, this is the hatred of seizing his wife. Needless to say, the relationship between the Li family and the "Tianting" is completely possible for Li Tianzhen to order the "Tianting" to assassinate Chief Qi.
He can think of it, and Chief Qi must also be able to think of it, so it is reasonable for Chief Qi to ask people to take revenge.
However, Qi Xuansu's second sentence denied Xie Jiaofeng's conjecture: "It is said that this den is related to Nanyang United Trading Company."
Xie Jiaofeng's reaction at this time was that state affairs are more important than family affairs, and official affairs are more important than private affairs. Chief Qi deserves to be Chief Qi. After all, everyone knows that Chief Qi is here for the king's office.
Qi Xuansu's third sentence was, "I wonder what Deputy Palace Master Xie thinks?"
Xie Jiaofeng was stunned for a moment. He was an old man, so he naturally heard the underlying meaning of Qi Xuansu's words. This was asking him to express his position.
Are you siding with Chief Qi? Or are you siding with the King's Mansion?
From Xie Jiaofeng's point of view, the current situation is unclear, and Chief Qi seems to have the upper hand, but the Wang family has deep roots and has been in business for many years, so it is impossible to say who will definitely lose or win.
In this case, it is very unwise to express his position rashly - although he is a member of the Pei family, Qi Xuansu has a close relationship with the Pei family, and the two should be allies. But he does not want to be used as a knife by Qi Xuansu
I don't want to rush to the front line to fight against Wang Jiaohe, at least not now, after all, the knife will curl up when cutting people.
But it was no good not to answer. Xie Jiaofeng was forced to panic and could only say, "Although I am not from Shibotang and do not understand business matters, since Chief Qi asked, I naturally have an opinion. Regarding this issue
, Regarding Nanyang United Trading Company, I have communicated with many Taoist friends about the relevant situation before, and I have also learned about the situation from the relevant Taoist friends, but after all, I don’t understand these Western terms, so I still can’t give some constructive suggestions.
Opinions and opinions, as I said just now, I am not from Shibotang after all."
Qi Xuansu smiled and said, "Listening to your words is like listening to your words."
