Extra Story 119. Private Transactions (3)
No matter what this huge family is brewing in secret, it is impossible to reveal a little bit of wind to Xuanming and the two gangs. Faced with the undercurrents of the hidden sand castle, it is impossible to tell them the truth about this matter.
Wang Ming and Li Renxuan knew very well that all their speculations before were completely untenable. Without judgment and response to the situation, everything... may be pushed back.
In addition, according to the returns of the spy, various gossips in the hidden sand castle are frequently released, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.
For example, Tu Laoliu, who runs the Jiguan, was killed inexplicably. Although he was very wise, he died tragically on his own territory; the Yinsha Gang stopped his slave business, secretly transferred the "stolen goods" in his hands, sold his assets, and seemed to be garrisoning troops to prepare for war; many small gangs that originally relied on the forces of the Xuanming Gang began to suspicion and sent additional personnel to take care of their territory; some forces that could not usually get on the table were willing to spend money to hire killers, and they secretly guessed whether this was a signal that the Xuanming Gang began to become popular.
Perhaps, a cruel battle is about to begin, and this place will eventually change hands.
All gangs were ready to make plans and were not so obedient to the rules set by the Xuanming Gang. These gangs not only believed in rumors, but also fanned the flames and joined the army that spread rumors in an attempt to create chaos.
After all, it is easy to catch fish in troubled waters, and heroes will emerge in troubled times.
Some people even say that the two elders Xuan Ming were seriously injured when they captured the enemy, and both of them were in short order.
In recent days, rumors have spread everywhere.
The Rothschild family's move to stop the flow of materials was immediately effective, and ordinary people were immediately panicked. Many people began to hoard food, and the prices of the most common insect cakes on the market rose all the way, almost tripled, and there was still no trend of rising.
The common people have exaggerated the various events that have happened around them, and the spread of rumors has in turn exacerbated the situation out of control.
This situation has far exceeded the expectations and control capabilities of Li Renxuan and Wang Ming - after all, the mouth is on people, so they cannot rely on force to block everyone's mouth.
The speed of human heart changes far beyond imagination.
The peace of the hidden sand castle is about to be broken. The two elders Xuanming still feel scared when they recalled the tragic killing that year.
Another thing that makes them uneasy - it will be the "Ten Free Trials Challenge" day in a short time. This fixed competition of the hidden sand castle is only held every three years, and it deserves to attract everyone's attention. In addition to locals, there will be strong people from other regions to join in the fun, because the rewards are so attractive.
Everyone was ready to draw their swords to welcome a bloody carnival, just waiting for the organizer to give the order.
If an uncontrollable situation occurs at this time, it will completely shake the ruling foundation of the Xuanming Gang and cause a devastating blow to the entire gang.
Whether they can survive at that time is another issue that needs them to consider.
For this reason, the two gangs of Xuanming, dragged into the quagmire by a series of incidents, began to strengthen cooperation and continued to send people to inquire about the news, hoping to find an intermediate channel to mediate with the Rothschild family, stabilize the people's hearts, clarify the context of the incident, and calm the spread of the chaotic situation.
But at this moment, another thing that shocked them even more happened.
On the evening of the second day after Joyna was detained, the two elders Xuanming received a "verbal message" with the same content at the same time - a short paragraph of text can be clearly stated: a mysterious boss behind the scenes did not allow them to ask about the prisoners they had just caught, and they were not allowed to approach the underground prison in the train cemetery.
The two who were passing the message were dark all over, covered their faces, wearing a torn coat, and dressed quite weirdly. But the most important thing was that these two people were both deaf and mute.
The oral message was written on their backs, and it was still bloody and not dry. It penetrated nearly half a millimeter deep into the skin. There was a unique mark on the neck that was unforgettable. It was a circular pattern engraved into the flesh with a knife or other sharp object.
Li Renxuan and Wang Ming were extremely shocked and doubtful. The two immediately felt that something was wrong, so they met urgently and discussed countermeasures overnight.
The final conclusion was that the mysterious boss behind the scenes could not be someone else, but only the legendary figure who had been in charge of this place for many years - the terrifying "Scarlet War Witch".
Although Li Renxuan and Wang Ming had never seen the "Scarlet Witch" himself with their own eyes, they had long known the name of this legendary figure.
Later, they did hear each other's voice with their own ears - that meeting was terrifying.
Because, that was when the two of them killed all their opponents, led a large army of thugs to completely wipe out the alien party, take charge of the hidden sand castle, and just reached the peak of secular power.
What can you ask for in life? Getting rich and freedom.
If the two of them were still afraid of the enemies they met before, then when they sat on the throne of power, they began to let themselves go.
The so-called regime comes from the barrel of a gun, two people burn, kill, loot, and storm all the way into the hidden sand castle. Anyone who doesn't follow will be eliminated by terrifying means. And after a crushing defeat and losing only the shorts, all the big guys who have to crawl at the feet of the two elders Xuanming.
The arrogant Xuanming Gang was at its peak. It not only captured the hidden sand castle, but also reclaimed the wealthy area within a radius of 100 kilometers, monopolizing the trade channel to the Iron Fort and Shuangshan areas.
For a time, there were many flatterers, and the two men with great force were satisfied.
In this context, the meeting scene was also strange because they were inexplicably "invited" to that place.
The whispers of surprise spread like waves in the dilapidated circular building. The two led the guards to stand at the entrance and hesitated toward the center of the empty field.
Facing the illusory figure at the top of the ruined building, the two teams of thugs who were originally arrogant and domineering and armed fell down instantly in a scream, with almost no room for resistance, and soon there was a corpse everywhere...
"I said, you two are allowed to come."
The whisper sounded again and flew to the farthest part of the circular field. It sounded like this was the reason for the tragic death of the pro-guard.
The two people who were scared were no longer sure whether they were facing humans or ghosts.
But soon, they saw a group of people wearing clothes and covering their faces slowly coming behind them. Later, the two elders of Xuanming realized that these people were known as loyal believers of the "Scarlet War Witch".
The two of them still remember the situation at that time, but no one mentioned it in the days that followed.
Because, as soon as they think about it, they feel chill.
Wang Ming sneered, watching the Xuan Gang members away, and imagined the scene when Li Renxuan was in a state of dismay. He felt a sense of revenge and did not notice that a cluster of lichens not far away were climbing onto the train.
———
In the darkness, Joyna pushed the iron plate above her head.
Ningxi waited for a while and confirmed that she was safe, so she turned over and leaped up, supported the hole wall with both hands and slowly crawled in.
