"People from the Lu Family..."
Gu Sheng looked at Lu Yue's body and murmured to himself, to be able to reach the level of the Blood Refining Realm at this age, talent and status must be both indispensable.
The entire Canghe County.
County magistrates Liu Yuanhu and Black Sand Gang should be the two most powerful forces.
Below them are some large families with some Blood Refining Realm's combat power. Lu Family is one of them. It can be regarded as the upper level of the entire Canghe County and is stronger than Gu Family Village.
"It's a pity, even if you are Lu Family, you shouldn't mess with me."
There was no movement in Gu Sheng's eyes, so what about the Lu Family's people? In this wilderness, after the corpses were destroyed and all traces were wiped out, who knew that this person was killed by himself, not to mention that there was a natural scapegoat.
Liu Yuanhu.
Liu Yuanhu's actions today cannot be ignored, but Liu Yuanhu may not care about it.
"This guy Liu Yuanhu is really a little crazy. He is watching these fat sheep being slaughtered. He is not afraid of offending the forces behind these people and pushing them all to Black Sand Gang?"
Gu Sheng was a little surprised in his eyes.
It is impossible to say that Liu Yuanhu is a fool. Otherwise, how could Cao Shiduan, the county magistrate before Yin's death, become the owner of Shrouding the Heavens by Canghe County.
Then there is only one possibility.
Liu Yuanhu has other things to rely on!
You don't even need to care about the attitude of the forces behind these people. Of course, just sweeping away a Black Market Auction is not enough to push these people to Black Sand Gang. After all, Black Sand Gang is not an easy character to deal with.
These big forces that can last forever are accustomed to adapting to the situation, such as Lu Family, let alone killing a woman who looks like a core member, even if Liu Yuanhu secretly kills their family leader, as long as Liu Yuanhu has the ability to defeat Black Sand Gang, they will still treat it as nothing happened.
"In short, what happened tonight is a signal. Liu Yuanhu is using Heart of the Demon Fox to test Black Sand Gang's attitude and cut off his wings... These have nothing to do with me for the time being. I have to increase my strength as soon as possible."
Gu Sheng made up his mind to at least be promoted to the Bone Refining Realm before the storm came, so that he would be able to protect himself.
He looked at the female corpse in front of him with a hint of fire in his eyes.
He had observed clearly during the previous auction that this woman had won a Blood Strengthening Pill. He even heard that she had bid ten thousand taels for Gu Sheng when she finally bid for Heart of the Demon Fox!
When he thought of this, Gu Sheng started to feel excited.
If you really have ten thousand taels of silver, then from now on you can just develop in Gu Family Village with peace of mind. There is no need to rush for resources.
He squatted down and began to explore carefully.
Her expression froze, a little strange. I thought this woman had a curvy figure, but I didn't expect it to be a scam.
There are still women in this world who care about this...
Shaking his head and putting away the weird thoughts in his mind, Gu Sheng quickly began to search, not missing any place where things could be hidden.
Not long after.
A pile of items appeared in front of Gu Sheng.
The first is a small black wooden box with thin golden edges on the outside, which looks very delicate.
When I opened it, it turned out to be Blood Strengthening Pill!
An elixir the size of a dragon's eye with blood-colored lines was lying quietly in it, exuding a strange fragrance. This elixir should have been obtained by 700 taels just now, which made Gu Sheng sigh.
For ordinary people, Blood Strengthening Pill is a powerful elixir. As long as it is accumulated enough, it can help weaken bottlenecks. Gu Jingang uses this to break through to the state of small success where Qi and blood are like yarn.
Although there is no bottleneck in Gu Sheng's cultivation, this Blood Strengthening Pill is equally useful and can greatly speed up the progress of tempering his energy and blood. It can be used as a ten times or a hundred times enhanced version of Blood Nourishing Powder.
"With it, maybe in a month or even half a month, I can successfully break through the minor accomplishment in Blood Refining realm!"
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with joy, and then he looked at other gains.
Except for the black wooden box.
It was a pile of bits and pieces, pieces of gold, silver, and banknotes, which totaled about two to three hundred taels.
Gu Sheng searched everywhere.
He couldn't find the 10,000 taels of silver notes he was expecting, which made him feel very regretful, but he could probably figure it out with a little guesswork.
"A strong man does have the courage to cut off his wrist, but it's a pity that he shouldn't be mean at the critical moment, and he is still a spoiled master..."
"These two hundred taels of silver should be the pocket money she usually carries with her..."
When he thought of this, Gu Sheng felt helpless.
It's really frustrating that people are so different from each other. I worked so hard for a few hundred taels of silver, only for them to just put it in their pockets.
Everyone hates the second generation of rich people, and everyone hates that the second generation of rich people are not themselves. This is the true portrayal of Gu Sheng's mood at this moment.
In addition to Blood Strengthening Pill and money, the rest are some elixirs, such as detoxification pills. If Gu Sheng doesn't plan to use it for himself, he can get a lot of money by selling it.
After putting all the things away into his own bag, Gu Sheng looked at Lu Yue's body.
After thinking about it, she put away the white ribbon in her hand.
This is Lu Yue's weapon. The material is extraordinary. It just blocked several arrows for Lu Yue. It is not an ordinary cloth. If you sell it at the right time, you should be able to get a lot of money.
After touching the corpse, it is natural to destroy the corpse and eliminate traces.
For this.
Gu Sheng is already familiar with it.
After some processing, no traces were left. After recovering the shot arrow, he drifted away. The events of the auction had nothing to do with him anymore.
The barren hill where the auction was held.
At this time, the sounds of fighting had long since subsided, and only the sound of fires and explosions continued to be heard. The luxurious pavilions were ignited with raging fires, and half of the night sky was reflected in red, which was not like the night at all.
Someone moved the Taishi chair, and Liu Yuanhu sat on it, moving his fingers rhythmically on the armrests, lost in thought.
In front of him, the ghost-faced man from before was lying there motionless. The evil ghost mask had long been broken, revealing a slightly pale face. He had obviously been dead for a while.
"I would like to inform the Lord of the County that the people in Black Sand Gang have been basically wiped out, leaving only a few fish that slipped through the net. Please punish me!"
A soldier with a fierce aura knelt in front of Liu Yuanhu and said solemnly.
Liu Yuanhu waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter whether it's small fish or shrimp, as long as the big fish eats it."
He looked at the corpse of the Ghost-Faced Man with some joy in his eyes.
"They say that Black Sand Gang, the deputy gang leader Yan Hua, has great physical skills, and he lives up to his reputation."
A complimenting voice immediately sounded next to him:
"No matter how great it is, it can't escape the palm of your hand, sir. Once you take action, that Zhao Honglie is just a grasshopper in the autumn, and it won't be able to jump around for much longer!"
Liu Yuanhu burst out laughing.
"Where are the remaining people participating in Black Market Auction?"
"Your Excellency, the few fat sheep that we took care of have basically not escaped. Tens of thousands of taels of silver have been seized, as well as some auction items. They are basically all here."
If Gu Sheng were here, he would be able to recognize that the person speaking was one of the people he had paid close attention to before, and he also made a bid when bidding for Heart of the Demon Fox. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be someone under Liu Yuanhu.
He pointed to a pile of corpses in the distance.
The strong man in the cow-faced mask was also among them, as were several of Lu Yue's followers.
Liu Yuanhu nodded slowly.
It doesn't matter whether he escapes or not. The main theme of this auction ambush is a man who eliminates harm for the people and upholds justice for heaven. No one dares to say no, and just being an auctioneer is enough for him to stand on the moral high ground.
This raid yielded a lot of rewards.
These treasures at the auction are already valuable, and coupled with the money brought by the guests at the auction, this wealth makes Liu Yuanhu very excited, enough for him to go to Chiyun Prefecture to buy more rare treasures, which may allow him to go further.
He took the Heart of the Demon Fox handed over by his subordinates and smiled.
"It's just a treasure that can give people a chance to break through to the Blood Refining Realm perfection. It can catch such a fat sheep. If it can give people a chance to be promoted to the Bone Refining Realm, I really don't know what kind of turmoil it will cause."
"Put it away. Whoever makes a contribution first will use it first."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the Blood Refining Realm strongmen under his command suddenly lit up, and their breathing became a little faster.
"Brothers, you have worked hard today, and you will all be rewarded!"
"I would like to thank the magistrate for your generous reward!"
But there is no reason to let the horse run and not give him sooner or later. It seems that Liu Yuanhu is the master of a county, but it is not easy to maintain the expenses of so many people under his command. If the treatment is not adequate, why should people follow you and become disloyal?
This time I got a windfall from the autumn wind.
However, he knows that this kind of opportunity does not come every day. After this time, Black Market Auction may not be held for a long time. Even if it is held, it will not be as carefree as now and will be more secretive.
"Next, let's see how that guy Zhao Honglie responds."
Liu Yuanhu looked at the night sky, grinning. This time was a warning to Black Sand Gang. Recently, he withdrew his energy from Chiyun Prefecture, only to find that Black Sand Gang had grown to this point without knowing it, behind his back.
The tentacles are all over Canghe County, even to the point where I am a little afraid. How can I allow others to sleep soundly on the bed?
Black Sand Gang must be eliminated.
If he forced a full-scale war, he would inevitably suffer heavy losses, which was not what he wanted.
But Liu Yuanhu is not in a hurry. He has a trump card. He only needs to wait for a while and he will be sure. The reason why he made a surprise attack tonight is because he knows Zhao Honglie.
This person is suspicious by nature. The more he is like this, the less he dares to act rashly. Instead, he will lie dormant. This plays into Liu Yuanhu's plan.
Black Sand Gang headquarters station.
An unbelievable shout suddenly sounded, shaking the hall:
"What did you say?? The auction was taken over by Liu Yuanhu, and even Yan Hua died in his hands?"
Zhao Honglie looked at the blood-stained gang members in front of him with bare eyes, as if he wanted to kill someone. He was originally handling gang affairs, but he was shocked to hear the bad news.
The crowd was covered in injuries. Looking at Zhao Honglie, they suddenly felt sad and cried:
"Everything my subordinate said is true. Then Liu Yuanhu is really crazy. He led his people and rushed up, not sparing anyone. The deputy gang leader and his brothers resisted desperately, but in the end he was killed by his sword, and all his belongings were looted."
"Lord Gang Leader!! Liu Yuanhu is not giving us a way to survive!! We will fight him!"
The man gritted his teeth, with overwhelming hatred in his eyes.
Seeing so many brothers in the gang lose their lives with his own eyes, he wished that Zhao Honglie would immediately lead the gang to kill him and fight Liu Yuanhu to the death.
Zhao Honglie's eyes were cloudy and uncertain.
A group of senior executives from Black Sand Gang nearby arrived one after another. After hearing that someone else had taken the pot at the auction, they were all filled with indignation and cursed.
"This Liu Yuanhu is not a son of man. Since he wants to fight, then we will fight!"
Wind Hall Master Leng Yun shouted coldly, which immediately aroused the resonance of everyone, and they all looked at Zhao Honglie.
Zhao Honglie frowned and thought. Based on his understanding of Liu Yuanhu, this person was definitely not a reckless person and would never act casually. He looked at the blood-stained gang members in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"Tell me exactly what happened, without missing a single detail!"
The gang didn't dare to slack off and immediately started telling the story from the beginning.
"It was the finale of the auction Heart of the Demon Fox..."
"Stop! Do you mean that Liu Yuanhu never said our Black Sand Gang's name from the beginning to the end?" Zhao Honglie grasped the key point.
"That's right... But since Liu Yuanhu dares to come to the door, how could he not know that it is our Black Sand Gang's property? What's more, he will always recognize Mr. Yan Hua."
Hearing Fire Hall Master Ning Kang's words, Zhao Honglie slowly shook his head:
"It's different."
"If Liu Yuanhu calls out our Black Sand Gang identity in public, it means that he wants to start a full-scale war with us, but now he is so secretive, most likely to test us!"
Zhao Honglie became more and more determined, and his violent eyes gradually became calmer.
"Recently, our Black Sand Gang has been keeping a low profile on the outside. He can't find anything to do with us. If he does it unscrupulously without asking the reason, many people will be afraid and turn to us. After all, we can help him kill Cao Shiduan's hero."
It is never a good reputation to kill the donkey and kill the donkey. If you kill the previous heroes at will, other forces will feel the sorrow of the dead rabbit and the dead fox.
"So, Gang Leader, what you are saying is that the son of a bitch Liu Yuanhu wants to anger us and make us take the initiative to start a war, so that he will have an excuse?"
Thunder Hall Master Wang Tiansheng, who had been silent, slowly spoke. He was one of the few people who was still calm.
Everyone's expressions suddenly froze.
Zhao Honglie glanced at Wang Tiansheng approvingly, scanned the crowd and said slowly:
"That's right! That's right. If we are provoked and kill him now, we will play into Liu Yuanhu's hands!"
"Is he so confident that he can defeat us?"
Some people doubted.
"Based on my understanding of Liu Yuanhu, he is at least 80% sure, otherwise he would not have done such a thing. The same was true when Cao Shiduan was destroyed."
"According to our calculation of Liu Yuanhu's forces, shouldn't it?" Ning Kang still couldn't believe it.
"You have all forgotten what Liu Yuanhu was doing last year..."
Zhao Honglie's faint voice sounded, which immediately shocked everyone!
I almost forgot about this!
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed a bit dead. After a while, someone finally said angrily:
"Are we just going to let Liu Yuanhu ride on our heads and shit?"
Zhao Honglie looked at everyone with a cold face, and finally his eyes rested on the blood-stained gang members. He helped the gang members up and softened his voice.
"I know that brothers are angry, but when it comes to big things, we don't stick to trivial matters. For the sake of my Black Sand Gang great cause, I can only endure it now. Everything is only temporary."
"Brothers' revenge, I will take it back a thousand times a hundred times when the time comes!"
"One day we Black Sand Gang will become the king of Canghe County, then everything will be worth it!"
The crowd was patted on the shoulders by Zhao Honglie, their faces flushed with excitement, and their original resentment immediately dissipated.
"I am willing to go through fire and water for the gang leader!"
Everyone stood up and shouted.
Zhao Honglie showed a smile and ordered the people to take the group down to have a good rest. Han Lu next to him hesitated and said:
"Boss, don't we have to do anything now?"
Zhao Honglie showed a gloomy chill in his eyes, and said with a soft smile:
"Of course we have to do it. Go call the brothers. Let's go and congratulate our magistrate for wiping out the evil bandits and restoring peace to the world!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly trembled, and their eyes immediately dropped when they looked at Zhao Honglie. After following Zhao Honglie for so many years, they naturally knew what kind of temper Zhao Honglie was. He was a cold poisonous snake with a knife hidden in his smile.
Taking the initiative to stay humble and do something small, lying down and taking courage, is not something ordinary people have the courage to do.
Seeing the high-level gang members leaving one after another, Zhao Honglie was the only one left in the hall. He turned around and walked into the inner hall. He pressed the secret door in the study and a secret passage suddenly appeared.
Zhao Honglie stepped in slowly with a gloomy face.
In the dark and cold Secret Chamber, a deep laughter gradually sounded:
"Zhao Honglie, you finally came to see me again. It seems like you have figured it out?"
Zhao Honglie lit the torch, and the situation inside Secret Chamber was immediately illuminated clearly. A figure was chained up, with disheveled hair, and his true appearance could not be seen.
Hearing this playful laughter, Zhao Honglie's gloomy expression gradually softened, and he stepped forward and opened the chain of the figure.
He smiled and said:
"Brother, I have offended you a lot before. As long as you introduce me as you said before, you and I will be our brothers from now on. I can not only help you recover from your injuries, but I can also devote all my resources to help you cultivate. How about it?"
"Seriously?"
"Seriously! If my words, Zhao Honglie, are false, I will be told to cut off my descendants and make no progress in my cultivation from now on!"
"Okay, I believe you, I need to eat!"
"No problem, enough wine and meat, I will drink with you myself!"
Zhao Honglie laughed, with fire burning in his eyes.
Gu Sheng naturally didn't know the plans of Liu Yuanhu and Zhao Honglie. He had already safely returned to Gu Family Village. Thinking back to what happened tonight, he couldn't help but sigh.
The first time I participated in Black Market Auction, it opened my eyes, but I encountered such a change.
Fortunately, the purpose of this trip was achieved.
Not only did he get Flying Thunder Leg, the Body Tempering Martial Arts cheat book, but he also got an extra Blood Strengthening Pill and more than three hundred taels of silver. In this way, at least in a short period of time, Gu Sheng will not be short of resources and can develop well.
In the dark room, Gu Sheng took out Blood Strengthening Pill. The strange fragrance overflowed, and his eyes could not help but flash with fire.
For him, there is no need to use Blood Strengthening Pill to break through the bottleneck. Naturally, it is best to use it now.
