Hit Them to Death the Moment They Show Their Heads!
Welcoming Spring Pavilion is Chu Huaijun's territory. He gave half of the shares to Liao Zihui, the General Envoy. It would be most appropriate to invite Liao Zihui to dinner here.
In a private room on the third floor, a table laden with delicacies was laid out before him, but Liao Zihui, the General Envoy, barely touched his chopsticks.
A beautifully dressed girl played instruments and sang on the side, while Liao Zihui wore a faint smile and remained mostly silent.
At Chu Huaijun's prompting, a woman who was singing sat on Liao Zihui's lap.
He thought this would ease the awkwardness, but to his surprise, even Liao Zihui's last bit of a smile disappeared.
Liao Zihui was different today than usual.
Seeing that the General Envoy's brows were slowly furrowing, Chu Huaijun quickly dismissed the others.
Only Liao Zihui and Chu Huaijun remained in the private room. Liao Zihui took the pen out of his shirt pocket and placed it on the table.
What is this pen used for?
Chu Huaijun looked at the pen, then at Liao Zihui.
He realized that there were some things Liao Zihui couldn't say or do.
Chu Huaijun tried to find the answer from Liao Zihui's expression, but Liao Zihui was almost expressionless.
"Huaijun, don't be so nervous. I already know about what happened at Three Heroes Gate. The responsibility isn't entirely yours, but you weren't careful enough in handling some things."
There are some things I need to explain to my superiors, but personally, my trust in you remains unchanged.
What's the meaning?
Is this a accusation?
Liao Zihui's tone and attitude sent a chill down Chu Huaijun's spine.
He thought Liao Zihui would discuss the next steps with him, and he would take the opportunity to propose a plan to wipe out the Three Heroes Gate.
However, Liao Zihui had no intention of discussing anything with him. In just a few words, Chu Huaijun felt a strong sense of fear and crisis.
Chu Huaijun adjusted his thinking and, using a tone as close to that of Outer State as possible, said to Liao Zihui, "General Envoy Liao, the incident at Three Heroes Gate is part of a conspiracy, and many people are involved in it."
Now, Shen Jinzhong, the Big Gold Seal of the Three Heroes Gate, has become their puppet. The Three Heroes Gate must be completely eradicated to prevent this conspiracy from succeeding!
Liao Zihui nodded and said, "Since you say it's a conspiracy, I hope you can find out the cause and effect of this conspiracy."
Chu Huaijun was very nervous. He wanted to smoke a cigarette, but looking at Liao Zihui's attitude and the current atmosphere, he didn't dare to take the cigarette out of the pack.
"I'm still investigating this matter, but before things escalate further, the Three Heroes Gate must..."
"Then let's wait until you've found out the truth before we talk," Liao Zihui interrupted Chu Huaijun. "The Three Heroes Gate is a large sect with tens of thousands of disciples spread throughout Pro State."
If something goes wrong with this sect, its tens of thousands of disciples will become a huge hidden danger in Pro State. We don't want to see that happen.
Chu Huaijun explained, "General Envoy Liao me to do this in order to eliminate potential risks."
Liao Zihui nodded slightly. "I can see your efforts, but everything the Guanfang Hall does must have a clear goal and strategy."
From what you're doing right now, I can't see your goals or understand your thought process. I think you should further analyze the difficulties you're currently facing and focus your efforts on solving the root causes of the problems.
Of course, this is not an easy task. If it's too difficult for you, I can consider choosing someone more capable to establish a partnership.
After saying that, Liao Zihui picked up the pen, put it back in his shirt pocket, and left the private room.
The sound of a steam-powered car starting up came from downstairs, and Liao Zihui left.
Chu Huaijun took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
What exactly is going on today?
What's the situation with that pen?
Why couldn't he understand what Liao Zihui was saying?
Not only did Chu Huaijun not understand, but Liao Zihui himself didn't quite understand what he was saying either.
Whether one understands or not is not important. Liao Zihui has also worked in Outer State, and he often speaks. He also often doesn't understand what he is saying, but this does not affect the atmosphere and effect of the scene.
The important thing is that this is the safest way to speak.
On the steam-powered car, the seat behind the passenger seat was always Liao Zihui's, but today someone else was sitting in that seat.
This man is called Sun Junfu. He comes from Outer State and is of the same rank as Liao Zihui, but his identity is special this time. He is here to inspect the work.
He was very dissatisfied with Liao Zihui's recent work, especially his handling of some matters in Black Stone Slope.
Cheng Mingke, the former Guanfang Envoy of Black Stone Slope, was a trusted subordinate of Sun Junfu. It was through Sun Junfu's repeated recommendations that Cheng obtained the valuable opportunity to serve in Pro State. However, not long after taking office, he was sent back to Outer State by Liao Zihui.
Sun Junfu, his face grim, said to Liao Zihui, "General Envoy Liao, we've known each other for a long time. Let me be frank with you."
I think you have serious problems with your attitude towards work. I think Chu Huaijun's approach is excellent. He Yuxiu, the Three Heroes Gate, and other forces are openly provoking us, so they should be eliminated as soon as possible. Why do you keep choosing to compromise and back down?
And these "forces" too.
Judging from what Sun Junfu said, he clearly has no understanding of the situation in Pro State.
Liao Zihui smiled humbly and said, "Pro State has special circumstances, among which..."
Sun Junfu interrupted Liao Zihui, "Old Liao, we all know that the situation in Pro State is special, so let's not talk about objective reasons."
If you subjectively fear difficulties or even cowardice, how can you live up to the trust placed in you? How can you live up to the heavy responsibility entrusted to you?
Regarding your question, I think there are three main points...
That jerk talks just like his apprentice.
Liao Zihui really wanted to beat Sun Junfu up, and even wanted to make him disappear from Pro State.
But he couldn't do that, because the pen on his chest would record everything he said and did in Pro State, and Sun Junfu would personally take it back to Outer State after the inspection was over.
When will the inspection be completed?
It will take about a month.
Liao Zihui felt that if this arrogant and incompetent fool stayed here for a month, something big was going to happen.
Bang!
Sun Junfu had just mentioned the second problem: the tires of the steam car suddenly burst.
The four bodyguards in the car, including the driver, immediately prepared for battle.
Thinking there had been a traffic accident, Sun Junfu glared angrily at the driver. "What's going on? Don't you guys have any sense of safety while driving?"
Bang!
The driver was blown to pieces.
Blood and flesh splattered on Sun Junfu's face, and Sun Junfu body began to tremble, his facial features contorting.
"Uh, uh..." Some sounds were squeezed out of his throat, and it was unclear what he wanted to say.
The driver was a fifth-level cultivator, and he died just like that. No one at the scene saw the assassin.
The bodyguard in the passenger seat had a cultivation level of seven, the highest among the bodyguards. He immediately took the driver's seat, controlled the steering wheel, and pulled out the lever under the steering wheel, shaking it up and down twice.
The entire steam car suddenly disappeared.
Is this teleportation?
Li Banfeng activated his Golden Eyes Autumn Down Technique, and could still see the outline of the car even in the darkness.
It's not teleportation, it's invisibility; there are many mysteries hidden in this car.
No wonder the Guanfang Envoy always traveled in steam cars, which was not only a symbol of status but also a guarantee of safety.
The car sped toward the Guanfang Hall, with Li Banfeng following behind at a leisurely pace.
Not long after they left, the two sixth-floor bodyguards sitting in the last row exploded one after the other. Liao Zihui still hasn't seen the assassin.
Has this assassin gone mad? Does he even know who's in the carriage? It's the Guanfang Envoy; does he really want to wipe them all out?
Liao Zihui huddled in the car, pressed down on the terrified Sun Junfu, tore open the leather cover on the back of the passenger seat, grabbed a rocker arm, and turned it clockwise three times.
Buzz~
With a muffled thud, the steam car Guanfang Envoy disappeared.
This time it really disappeared. Even with Li Banfeng's Golden Eyes Autumn Down turned to the limit, he couldn't see any trace of the car.
Is this teleportation?
Have they returned to the Guanfang Hall?
General Envoy Liao, you're really lucky to be alive.
Consider this a greeting; we'll likely see each other often in the future.
Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat and disappeared into the night.
At this moment, Liao Zihui and the others did not return to the Guanfang Hall.
They were still in the same place, but they had entered a place where Li Banfeng could not see them.
The place was pitch black, and Liao Zihui couldn't see what was happening outside.
He could only wait, and based on experience, waiting until dawn was the wisest choice.
But after waiting for more than ten minutes, Liao Zihui changed his mind.
A suffocating odor wafted into his nostrils. Liao Zihui looked at Sun Junfu beside him and asked, "Did you poop your pants?"
Sun Junfu's face turned deathly pale, and he stammered, "I want to go back, take me back immediately, I want to go back..."
Liao Zihui took the pen from his shirt, put it to his lips, and shouted, "Old Sun, are you just going to do this? Do you think you've lived up to the trust placed in you? Do you think you've lived up to the expectations placed on you?"
Actually, Liao Zihui was quite scared too.
I just went out for a meal.
Who on earth is this lunatic who went and did something so violent?
This forced out the Dark Dimension Space.
Chu Huaijun sat in the Welcoming Spring Pavilion, smoking one cigarette after another.
The strategist Yuan XiongHui said from the side, "Sir, the food is getting cold. Please have a bite."
Chu Huaijun shook his head. "I've thought about it for so long, but I still can't understand Guanfang Envoy mean."
"Let's not speculate on this," Yuan XiongHui said cautiously. "Let's have someone inquire tomorrow to see if anything has happened at the Guanfang Hall."
Chu Huaijun said solemnly, "I'm not afraid of anything happening to them; I'm afraid something might happen to me."
General Envoy Liao is dissatisfied with me, but I still don't know what I did wrong.
We've done so much for the Guanfang Hall; how can we let someone else reap the benefits now!
Chu Huaijun felt increasingly distressed. Having lost his appetite, he put on his clothes and left Welcoming Spring Pavilion.
The rickshaw was waiting downstairs. As soon as Chu Huaijun got on, he suddenly heard a series of whistles in his ears.
"The people from Three Heroes Gate!" The strategist Yuan XiongHui could understand the whistle from Three Heroes Gate.
Chu Huaijun remained remarkably calm. "Let's talk things out with them first, get them to get straight to the point, and not try any tricks in front of me!"
Yuan XiongHui had intended to exchange a few words with the other side, but upon hearing the whistle, he felt increasingly uneasy.
"Master, they're going to kill us!"
Chu Huaijun sneered, "This is Welcoming Spring Pavilion, this is the territory of the Chu family and the Guanfang Hall. I want to see if they have the guts."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jinzhong led dozens of skilled fighters from the Three Heroes Gate across the street.
Yuan XiongHui stepped forward and called out, "Shen Da Jinyin, come inside and have a cup of tea. Let's talk things out slowly."
"Shut up! Get the hell away from me, I'm here to find your master," Shen Jinzhong said, beckoning to Chu Huaijun. "I've chosen a stone for you to use as a tombstone. Tell me your birth date and time, and I'll collect your body and bury you right away."
As they spoke, Shen Jinzhong led his men forward, one of whom was indeed carrying a stone.
Chu Huaijun was no longer so composed.
The Three Heroes Gate is definitely going to be serious.
Chu Huaijun knew there would be some friction with the Three Heroes Gate, so he took some precautions and brought some men, but not too many.
Today he invited the Guanfang Envoy dinner. Who would dare to Guanfang Envoy?
Moreover, Shen Jinzhong's position is not yet secure, so it is understandable that some friction would occur. How could he dare to take such a fatal blow to the Chu family, who are currently enjoying great power?
This was Li Qi's suggestion. Shen Jinzhong's position was indeed not yet secure. Killing Chu Huaijun, who was at the height of his power, would allow him to establish himself.
If you give the Guanfang Envoy a little tap, the foot will stand even more firmly!
Chu Huaijun glanced at Yuan XiongHui and lowered his voice, saying, "Call for help, quickly call for help!"
There are still some people inside the Welcoming Spring Pavilion, but they haven't come out yet. It's unclear whether they're unaware of the situation or simply not in a hurry.
Shen Jinzhong shouted, "Today I'm only looking for Chu Huaijun, it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
There was still no movement from the Welcoming Spring Pavilion, and the people around Chu Huaijun began to look at each other.
Chu Huaijun panicked. After his father died, he fought his way out from among his brothers and sisters.
He knew the consequences of his men looking at each other.
At two o'clock in the morning, Yuan XiongHui, covered in injuries, helped Chu Huaijun back to the outer residence.
They didn't dare go back to the mansion. The Three Heroes Gate had deep roots, and there was definitely an ambush at the mansion.
This outer residence was very secluded, and not many people knew about it. Yuan XiongHui gave Chu Huaijun a quick treatment of his wounds, then gritted his teeth and said, "Master, you wait here. Tomorrow I'll gather men and raze the Three Heroes Gate to the ground!"
Chu Huaijun waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's sign a document tomorrow and hand over half of the Bai Le Men directly to General Envoy Liao."
"Pay directly?" Yuan XiongHui was stunned. "Sir, do you mean you're not even willing to give up your initial investment?"
"What more capital do we need! If the Guanfang Envoy really abandons us, we're finished. The Three Heroes Gate, the He Family, the Lu Family, and Li Qi and Ma Wu, wouldn't they all try to kill us?"
What's half of the Bai Le Men? It's gone, so be it!
"Is that yours? You just gave it away?" A voice suddenly came from outside the gate of the mansion.
Yuan XiongHui immediately stood up, but Chu Huaijun gestured for him not to move.
The door creaked open.
A woman, wearing a white top hat, a black veil, and a black and white floor-length cheongsam, with snow-white foundation, dark blue eyeshadow, and dark red lipstick, walked into the house step by step.
In the dead of night, among all the people Chu Huaijun knew, there was only one dressed like this.
"Huai Yuan, listen to me, I'm doing this for our family..."
"Big brother, we're not family anymore. We separated a long time ago," Chu Huaiyuan said, looking down at Chu Huaijun with her eyes rolled up. "What's mine is mine. If you touch my things, then you're in the wrong."
Chu Huaijun sneered, "Huai Yuan, is it appropriate for you to talk to me like that?"
Chu Er laughed as well, "How do you think it's appropriate to say that?"
Chu Huaijun lit a cigarette and said, "Yes, I touched your things. What can you do about it?"
Chu Er remained silent.
Yuan XiongHui tugged at Chu Huaijun from the side.
There were a few people guarding outside the door, but they haven't made a move yet.
PS: In Chapter 393, Li Banfeng instructed Luo ZhengNan to keep an eye on the Chu family and to immediately inform him as soon as they showed any signs of activity.
He wasn't just saying that he'd strike hard if they showed up.
