Da Boyens closed the secret door and said to Xiao Zhenggong: "Gang leader, Neizhou asked me to bring you a message."
"What words?"
"After this is completed, if you are willing to go to Neizhou to practice for a period of time, the price can be raised a little more."
Xiao Zhenggong smiled: "How tall?"
Da Boyens said: "Within one year, I will give you an additional level of cultivation."
"One year?" Xiao Zhenggong shook his head, "Not fast enough."
Da Boyens reminded: "This is the cultivation level of Yunshang."
Xiao Zhenggong thought for a moment and said: "We can discuss the price later, and we'll talk about it after the matter is finalized. You should have a good rest first, and think carefully about the things the day after tomorrow, step by step, so as not to make any mistakes."
Da Boyens said nothing more, bowed deeply, and returned to the darkroom.
After leaving the basement, Xiao Zhenggong called Yao Zhiyi, who was guarding the door, and asked, "Is the body ready?"
Yao Zhiyi nodded and said: "It's ready. I've checked it from top to bottom. No matter who comes to check it, they can't find any flaws. Even the blood is exactly the same as yours. Look horizontally and vertically. No matter how you look at it, this corpse is...
Yours!"
"Bah!" Xiao Zhenggong smacked Yao Zhiyi.
Yao Zhiyi didn't know how to express it: "This corpse is very similar to yours. What about him is very similar-"
Returning to the main building, he found a quiet room. Yao Zhiyi made the tea and Xiao Zhenggong took a sip: "Have the invitations been dispersed?"
Yao Zhiyi nodded and said: "They all dispersed. The major families didn't give any face and returned the invitations on the spot. Shen Jinzhong, who has the big gold seal of Sanyingmen, is the worst person. He tore up the invitations in front of us."
Oh, and that He Yuxiu threw our invitation into the spit bucket."
Xiao Zhenggong smiled and said: "As expected, it's just that one person didn't come, so it would be reasonable for Jiang Xiang to help.
In a moment, someone will tell Xie Mengjiao and ask her to contact Shan Zhumei and publish a news article saying that Jiang Xiang’s gang is isolated and helpless and that each sect has its own sect. Why do you just sit on the sidelines and watch with cold eyes?”
Yao Zhiyi thought about this title and felt it was not very neat.
"Let's change the first sentence so that Jiang Xianggang is full of evil and isolated and helpless. Do you think this is okay?"
"It's full of evil, you still use idioms," Xiao Zhenggong nodded, and then kicked Yao Zhiyi, "How the hell do you know what "full of evil" means, have you ever studied?
You don’t need to worry about this matter. Just think more about tomorrow night. Keep everything that should be kept and clean up everything that shouldn’t be kept. Don’t let them go out and talk nonsense.
Also, tell us those brothers who are left behind that after tonight they should call me Marshal, and change all the titles in the gang."
While they were talking, a disciple asked to see him and whispered a few words to Yao Zhiyi. Yao Zhiyi stepped forward and said, "The foreigner Cui Tike is coming to the banquet tomorrow night."
Xiao Zhenggong frowned and said, "Did you leave a message for him?"
Yao Zhiyi scratched his scalp and said: "He runs a hospital and has cured several of our brothers. I also heard that you have a good relationship with him, so..."
"Why did you ask him to come?" Xiao Zhenggong rubbed his forehead and said, "Prepare a table of wine tomorrow night, and I'll have a quick meal with him. The key is to eat with him, it's a bit scary."
After a while, another disciple came over to reply.
This time Yao Zhiyi was very surprised: "Gang leader, something happened with Li Qi."
Xiao Zhenggong frowned: "What changes does he have?"
"He replied and will come to the banquet tomorrow night."
Xiao Zhenggongyi: "What is he here for?"
Yao Zhiyi shook his head and said, "I don't know what his intentions are. This person's thoughts are unpredictable."
"You can't figure it out, why should you send him an invitation?"
"Gang leader, Li Qi is now a big shot in Puluo Prefecture. The He family, Lu family, and Chu family all obey him. It would be inappropriate for us not to send him a message."
Xiao Zhenggong was silent for a while and asked, "Who is this Li Qi?"
"A ruthless man, cruel and domineering in his actions. He started his family in Lanyang Village, and he and Ma Wu saved some capital through the Xindi business.
I thought that someone like him would be able to survive in Lanyang Village for a lifetime.
Who would have thought that after living in Lanyang Village for a few days, he would kill the head of Lanyang Village?
After occupying Lanyang Village, this man couldn't hold back. He first brought his business to Green Water City, and then reached out to Heishipo.
He opened up a whole new land and turned the new land into a real land and turned it into the current Qiuqiu City.
Neither the inner state nor the outer state can hold him back. Among the powerful people in Puozhou, he is one of the best."
Xiao Zhenggong had heard about Li Qi's reputation, and now after thinking about it together, he realized that this person was indeed extraordinary: "What kind of cultivation level does he have?"
"My cultivation level is not very high. It is said that I am a fifth-level traveling cultivator. I broke through Sanducha in my early years and also studied abroad."
"Has he ever been in our profession?"
"I've never heard of that."
Xiao Zhenggong thought for a long time, and felt even more confused: "Then why does he have to come to my place to have this meal? No one else dares to come. Does he have any friendship with us?"
Yao Zhiyi shook his head and said: "As far as I know, there is no friendship."
Xiao Zhenggong asked again: "Does he have some trouble with us? At this juncture, he wants to see our jokes?"
"I haven't heard of it during the festival, but this man is very ambitious. The big golden seal of Sanyingmen died in his hands.
I heard that Erjin Seal Fuzheng also had a lot of connections with him."
Xiao Zhenggong was stunned: "This is taking advantage of others' danger. Seeing that I am in a bad situation, do you want to take the opportunity to subdue Jiang Xianggang?"
Yao Zhiyi nodded and said, "It's possible."
Xiao Zhenggong laughed when he heard this: "Okay, I'll take it. I'll make a covenant with him tomorrow night. From now on, Jiang Xiang will be at his disposal.
If he is not afraid of losing his reputation, Jiang Xiang's gang will belong to him from now on. Anyway, after the day after tomorrow, there will be no Jiang Xiang's gang."
The next day, Li Banfeng asked Xiao Chuanzi to prepare a gift. Xiao Chuanzi looked reluctant: "Master Qi, when you went to Jiang Xiangbang for a banquet, weren't you wearing good shoes and stepping on dog shit?"
Who are you? Who are they? What if this gets spread?"
Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that Gang Leader Xiao and I are old acquaintances and have a life-long friendship."
At noon, He Yuxiu, Lu Chunying, and Chu Huaiyuan all arrived.
After meeting Li Qi, He Yuxiu asked directly: "What do you mean, Lao Qi? Are you paying attention to Jiang Xiang's gang? Are you really not disgusting?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "A friend in need is a friend indeed. In Jiang Xiangbang's current situation, someone has to lend a hand."
He Yuxiu said angrily: "Why did you extend your hands to them? You forgot that I almost died in their hands."
"How could I forget this? I remember it all."
"Since you remember it, you still do it like this. You are deliberately disgusting me!" He Yuxiu became angrier as he spoke.
Lu Chunying remained silent beside her.
Chu Er was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "Brother Qi, are you really going tonight?"
Li Banfeng nodded: "I really want to go."
Chu Er said: "Okay, I'll go with you."
"What are you going to do?"
"I also discussed friendship with Jiang Xiangbang."
Li Qi shook his head and said, "What is your relationship with Jiang Xiangbang?"
"If you don't have any friendship, just create some friendship. Brother Qi, I will follow you no matter what you do. I can trust you, and the Chu family can trust you."
Lu Chunying heard this and said, "Then I will also follow Brother Seven."
"I don't know what you are thinking!" He Yuxiu picked up the wine bottle and took a big sip, "Go, I will follow you.
But I threw their invitations at Meng'er in front of that birdie from Xiang Jiang's gang, what can I say about this?"
Li Banfeng said: "Just because you are doing this for my sake, you just want me to sell Jiang Xianggang a favor."
He Yuxiu frowned and said, "Old Qi, is there something going on here?"
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "There's something important. There's something important about cheating death and being reborn."
At dusk, Jiang Xiang helped him survive.
I originally planned to have a simple meal with Cui Tike, but I heard that Li Qi was coming and the banquet couldn't be too simple.
Now that the He family, Lu family, and Chu family are all here, it is not appropriate to just have a banquet.
Xiao Zhenggong asked Yao Zhiyi: "How can Li Qi have so much face and greet so many people?"
"Gang Leader, when he was able to force General Liao to give him half of the shipping fee, you know how powerful this person is.
Since he is willing to give us this face, let me tell you, we might as well maintain the gang for two more days.
Maybe over there in other states——.”
"What are you maintaining?" Xiao Zhenggong's face sank, "I will give him the position of gang leader tonight, you can follow him from now on!"
Yao Zhiyi quickly explained: "Gang leader, I don't have this intention-"
Xiao Zhenggong asked: "Why did I spend so much effort?"
Yao Zhiyi whispered: "It's to find a way out for our brothers."
"Is there any way out for Jiang Xiang's gang?"
Yao Zhiyi lowered his head and said nothing.
Xiao Zhenggong calmed down for a moment and said: "No matter what conditions they put forward tonight, we will agree to it. If tonight is fooled over, things will remain the same tomorrow.
In addition, let the brothers be careful, especially He Yuxiu, this woman is really crazy, and most people can't hold her down."
Yao Zhiyi said: "That's not the case. The He family has already received the news and knows that the Feijiang camp is going to attack us. If she really wants to cause trouble, she might as well wait until tomorrow to do it together."
Xiao Zhenggong frowned and said, "I'm telling you to be on guard, why are you talking so much!"
Yao Zhiyi hurriedly called for help. Xiao Zhenggong looked solemn. He could not guess Li Qi's intention even more.
In the evening, the first guest to come was Tritik.
Cui Tike came to the banquet carrying an iron can, wearing a white coat and a mask. He cupped his fists and saluted Xiao Zhenggong: "Gang Leader Xiao, long time no see!"
Xiao Zhenggong stared at Cui Tik and looked him up and down: "What do you mean?"
Tritik was stunned: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. The word "long absence" should be used correctly."
Xiao Zhenggong said: "It's not about your choice of words, but what's wrong with your outfit?"
Cui Tike said: "I just came back from a medical visit and there is a patient on Qing'an Road who has an infectious disease."
Upon hearing about the infectious disease, Xiao Zhenggong took several steps back: "What do you do with that jar on your back?"
"This is disinfectant. To prevent the spread of the disease, I disinfected his residence."
Xiao Zhenggong blinked and said, "Since you are so busy, don't come tonight."
"You must give Gang Leader Xiao some face!" As he spoke, Cui Tik wanted to take off his clothes.
Xiao Zhenggong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Don't be like this, sit down for a while and put down the iron can behind you.
"This is really just disinfectant!" Tritic held it in his hand and shook it.
"Are you still afraid of losing it? My people will help you keep it."
Tritik handed over the disinfectant, and no one under his command dared to touch it.
Xiao Zhenggong pointed to the door of the hall: "You put it outside first, and someone will look after it for you."
Tritik shrugged and put the disinfectant outside the door.
It was almost time for the banquet to start, and Li Banfeng came, followed by He Yuxiu, Lu Chunying and Chu Huaiyuan.
Xiao Zhenggong came out of the hall, cupped his fists at Li Qi and said, "Brother Li Qi, I have long admired you!"
Li Banfeng cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "Captain Xiao, nice to meet you."
team leader?
Xiao Zhenggong frowned slightly. In Puozhou, except for people from the Customs and Defense Department, few people called him that.
Could it be that he came to me about matters from another state?
The guests and hosts were seated. Xiao Zhenggong toasted Li Qibei and He Yuxiu: "Sister Xiu, thank you for your honor."
He Yuxiu smiled: "When you introduced Dr. Cui to Hai Qin, I still remember this friendship."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhenggong's mood relaxed a little.
Over the years, he has been dealing with various major families. Although he is not welcomed anywhere, he feels that there should be some affection between him and the He family.
Of course, this does not include He Haiqin's attitude towards him, nor does it include the grievances between him and He Jiaqing.
Moreover, he did not know what happened to He Yuxiu at the soda kiln. The master of the soda kiln arrested He Yuxiu and wanted to send it directly to the customs envoy to claim credit, but he did not report it to Xiao Zhenggong at that time.
When he wanted to report afterwards, he had no chance. Li Banfeng and He Yuxiu directly killed the entire hall.
Li Banfeng looked at Cui Tike and said, "Dr. Cui, why are you dressed like this? Did you just come back from seeing a doctor?

Tritik nodded and said, "I saw a patient with an infectious disease."
Everyone's expressions changed, and they quickly distanced themselves from Tritik.
"I've disinfected it!" Tritik stood up and said, "My disinfectant is outside. I'll bring it over to show you."
Xiao Zhenggong lowered his palms and said, "Dr. Cui, sit down and eat first. Don't worry about your disinfectant."
The disinfectant water was placed at the door, and Xiao Zhenggong always felt that there might be some kind of disease focus in the iron can.
Having collaborated with Cui Tike many times, Xiao Zhenggong knew his methods and was always wary of him.
Facts have proved that his warning was right.
There is indeed something in the tin can, but it is not a disease.
The drain valve under the jar opened, and the liquid inside flowed out unconsciously, flowing along the lawn and into the woods beside the lake.
In the woods, the liquid gathered together and slowly turned into a human form, turning into He Jiaqing.
He Jiaqing was dressed as a disciple of Jiang Xiangbang and walked towards the rockery by the lake.
There are two disciples guarding the rockery, and no one else is allowed to approach.
When He Jiaqing passed by the rockery, his fingers trembled and two silver needles were pierced into the foreheads of the two disciples.
The two of them stood there with expressionless faces, showing nothing unusual.
Seeing that there was no one else around, He Jiaqing walked directly into the rockery. The two people did not react at all. When they reached the end of the cave, He Jiaqing saw the stone awl embedded in the wall. With his talent, he could tell at a glance that it was the door opening.
of organs.
This mechanism is difficult to control. Only by turning the two stone awls to a fixed angle can the secret door be opened.
He Jiaqing held the first stone awl and slowly moved it, sensing the mechanical and spiritual changes behind the stone awl.
In less than five minutes, the first stone cone was in place.
The second stone cone felt more mechanical. It only took less than three minutes for the stone cone to be in place and the secret door to open.
He Jiaqing looked at the two stone cones and could tell that they were rare treasures.
Take away these two stone cones?
If it is really taken away, the darkroom will be closed and cannot be opened again.
He was very clear about the purpose of his trip. His purpose was to transform into the flying general Zhao Xiaowan with a spear, and he wanted to get back what he had lost.
He walked quietly along the stairs into the basement. Through the wall, he could already feel the overwhelming power.
The door to the darkroom slowly opened, and a woman walked out holding a spear.
"Is that you?" The woman gritted her teeth and looked at He Jiaqing.
The corners of He Jiaqing's mouth turned up, and he said with a smile: "Xiaolan, we finally meet.'
Lu Xiaolan laughed: "It's surprising. Did you expect that I would die in your old house and never want to see me again in this life?"
He Jiaqing shook his head and said: "If I hadn't written to Lu Chunying, you would have never had the chance to come out of the old house. You would have been trapped in there to death."
Lu Xiaolan said: "How do you say this? Should I thank you?"
He Jiaqing nodded and said: "Xiaolan, you hurt me first and I spared your life. You should really thank me!"
Lu Xiaolan said: "Isn't it because of your gift that I am living the way I am today?"
"Xiaolan, you're lucky to be alive. If I hadn't asked Ling Miaowen to introduce you, do you think you would have been able to go to Tieyang Mountain?
You have been hurting me, and I have been helping you. Everyone in this world has the right to hate me, but you are not!"
Lu Xiaolan lowered her head and remained silent for a while.
Foolishly cultivating skills, grasping the strengths and weaknesses of people.
She felt guilty for He Jiaqing in her heart. This was her shortcoming and was caught by He Jiaqing.
The atmosphere of the banquet was getting better and better, and Xiao Zhenggong's mood became more and more relaxed.
The previous inference was correct. Li Banfeng asked a lot about the Dark Star Bureau. It seems that his coming here is really related to Waizhou.
"Brother Li Qi, do you have any matters from other states that you want to discuss with me?" Xiao Zhenggong made it clear.
This slope is almost finished.
Li Banfeng also toasted Xiao Zhenggong and said down the slope: "Captain Xiao is very good at knowing things. This time I come to you, it's really about matters outside the state."
Xiao Zhenggong drank the wine and asked, "If there is anything I can do to help, just ask."
Li Banfeng then took the ramp: "I have a friend who was targeted by the Dark Star Bureau."
Xiao Zhenggong looked quite surprised and said, "What's the reason?"
Li Banfeng said: "He himself couldn't tell what happened. First he was questioned by people from the Dark Star Bureau, and then he was followed. I suspect there may be a misunderstanding here."
Xiao Zhenggong smiled when he heard this and shook his head slightly: "Outside the state, there are also rules in doing things. If the Dark Star Bureau has targeted this person, it is probably not a misunderstanding.
This friend of yours should be a dark energy practitioner, which is what we in Puozhou often call a cultivator."
As the slope became smoother and smoother, Li Banfeng asked, "Is it illegal to be a cultivator from another state?"
Xiao Zhenggong smiled and said: "Brother Li Qi, I heard that you studied in another state. Don't you understand the rules here?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "When I was studying, I really didn't know what the rules were."
Xiao Zhenggong smiled: "That's because you are lucky. There are indeed many cultivators in other states. Such people must register with the local Dark Star Bureau. If they are not registered, they are illegal cultivators. These people are potential threats.
Once discovered, I'll be polite to question and follow you, but if you encounter me, you may be shot to death directly."
Li Banfeng was stunned: "A potential threat must be killed?"
Xiao Zhenggong said: "Brother, you don't understand. To face such a threat, you would rather kill a thousand by mistake than release one by mistake. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."
He Yuxiu said from the sidelines: "I can't quite understand the word you used. What does killing mean?"
Xiao Zhenggong explained: "It means putting the muzzle of the gun on his forehead, and one shot will directly kill him."
Chu Er smiled and said, "Are guns from other states that useful?"
Xiao Zhenggong said: "Outside the state is different from us, gunpowder rarely fails."
Lu Chunying said: "What if I can't be killed with one shot?"
Xiao Zhenggong said with a smile: "The barrel of the gun is right on the forehead. If you can't die with one shot, just take two more shots."
"That makes sense." Li Banfeng nodded, took out his pistol, put it against Xiao Zhenggong's forehead, and fired six shots.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
As luck would have it, five of the six shots went off.
Li Banfeng moved too fast and struck too suddenly, and Xiao Zhenggong failed to react.
Five bullets passed through his head.
PS: Down the slope can be used for more than just making jokes.
Chapter completed!
