Although Black Sand Gang is considered a first-class force in Canghe County, if it were placed in Chiyun Prefecture, it would be a bit unworthy of mention.
Fire Worship Cult has a vast sphere of influence, and it is said that they are present throughout the entire Liang. Compared with Black Sand Gang, they are like fireflies and bright moons. The difference is self-evident.
Although this fat man is just Copper Bone Realm like Zhao Honglie, Zhao Honglie dare not underestimate him at all. After all, the fat man represents Fire Worship Cult behind him!
Zhao Honglie looked respectful, and even bowed slightly while cupping his hands, keeping his posture very low and full of sincerity.
"I wonder what you call me? What do you mean by what you said before? I'm sorry for my ignorance and confusion. I hope you can answer my questions."
The fat man was very satisfied with Zhao Honglie's rather humble attitude, and there was a hint of defiance on his face. "My name is Qian Jin."
After saying that, his eyes suddenly became cold and stern.
His eyes were like daggers, and a strong murderous aura was released from Qian Jin. He stared at Zhao Honglie and asked coldly, "Since you Black Sand Gang want to marry me Fire Worship Cult, why do you want to kill my followers and take away the elixir from my teaching?"
It turned out that after Gu Sheng came into contact with people pretending to be King Chonghe Fire Worship Cult, they spread the news. Fire Worship Cult not only asked the people below to consider Black Sand Gang's strength and will, but also took out three Bone Protecting Pill.
After so many days, Fire Worship Cult not only did not receive the money from the sale of Bone Protecting Pill, but even the people stationed at Canghe County could not be contacted, so Qian Jin came from Chiyun Prefecture to Canghe County to find out the whole story.
However, those three people all died under Gu Sheng's sharp axe, and their bodies were completely corroded by Corpse Dissolving Water. They seemed to have evaporated out of thin air. No matter how much Qian Jin searched, he could not find any clues. In the end, he could only focus on Black Sand Gang.
Fire Worship Cult Although there are not many people stationed at Canghe County, their strength is not too weak. There is even one of them who is Blood Refining Realm Perfect. In addition, Fire Worship Cult's methods can even explode with combat power comparable to the Copper Bone Realm's half-step when fighting for his life.
In Canghe County, there are only two forces that can deal with them so cleanly, one is the Black Veil Gang and the other is Liu Yuanhu.
Fire Worship Cult is now keeping a low profile and has no contact with Liu Yuanhu and the others at all, so Qian Jin naturally thinks that Zhao Honglie did it.
Zhao Honglie couldn't help but tremble when he heard this, and big beads of sweat broke out. His eyes were serious, his face was straight, and he defended righteously. "I hope you will see clearly! I Black Sand Gang want to be attached to your sect day and night, and before I can treat you with courtesy, I will never do anything like killing someone. There must be some misunderstanding in this!"
Qian Jin snorted coldly and slapped the table, his aura becoming more violent.
"Misunderstanding? They have only been in contact with you Black Sand Gang. Then tell me who else among these Canghe County can quietly kill a person who has perfected blood refining and two people who have perfected blood refining! Not to mention Liu Yuanhu, I have already checked. He has been staying in Canghe County city during this time and has never come out."
One Blood Refining Realm is perfect, and two Blood Refining Realm are great. This kind of strength can basically walk sideways in Canghe County. The only way to kill them quietly is Only Bone Refining Realm's people can do it, and among Canghe County, Bone Refining Realm only has two people, Liu Yuanhu and Zhao Honglie.
Zhao Honglie was extremely anxious when he thought that this shit basin was going to be put on his head.
One Liu Yuanhu has already made him miserable. If another Fire Worship Cult comes, then they will really die without a burial place!
Zhao Honglie didn't even have time to wipe the sweat that had condensed on his forehead, and spoke with eager eyes.
"Sir, I have never had direct contact with anyone from your sect! I... our contact with your sect is all based on a person named Wang Chong. However, this person has been missing for several months and there is no news at all. I am also looking for him!"
"Wang Chong?"
Qian Jin touched his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought.
According to the information sent back by the people below, the person who contacted them was named Wang Da Niu, not Wang Chong at all.
After thinking for a long time Qian Jin ye couldn't come up with a reason, so he spoke slowly with a serious look on his face.
"Forget it! There are many doubts about this matter, and we need to investigate further before making a decision. I am here today. In addition to this matter, I also want to see what your attitude is Black Sand Gang."
Hearing this, Zhao Honglie couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that this stage was over for the time being.
Zhao Honglie immediately knelt down on one knee, raised his hands with a serious expression and said, "Everyone who belongs to me, Black Sand Gang, is willing to join your sect! If I can be accepted by your sect, my subordinates, Black Sand Gang, are willing to do the hard work of a dog or horse, and will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"
Seeing Zhao Honglie's performance, Qian Jin's murderous aura instantly disappeared, and the corners of his mouth turned up into a smile.
"My teaching has many masters, strong strength, and complete resources. If you join my teaching, you will be able to make a smooth progress Qingyun. Your cultivation path will be smooth in the future."
Speaking of this, Qian Jin suddenly changed the topic, "But my teaching is not just for cats and dogs! If you want to join my teaching, you have to show your role."
Zhao Honglie knows that this is asking him to vote for him.
Zhao Honglie pretended not to know, with a puzzled look on his face, "This subordinate is stupid and has only a half-understanding of what the Lord is saying. I hope the Lord will tell me what I should do!"
Qian Jin looked relaxed, reached out and picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
"It's very simple. If you get Canghe County, you can join my teaching!"
Qian Jin looked at Liu Honglie and then smiled and said, "In a land with such poor resources, you can still become a Bone Refining Realm master at such an age. If you join our religion, make some achievements and get some resources, it is not impossible to become a Marrow Refining Realm master one day."
Marrow Refining Realm is different from skin refining and bone refining. It does not only require the aid of elixirs to practice. If you want to become a Marrow Refining Realm strong person, you need a special method called "Guidance Method".
"Guidance Method" is very precious. Let alone Canghe County, even in Chiyun Prefecture it is only owned by a few wealthy families and powerful families.
These powerful forces tightly control "Guidance Method", and it is impossible for anyone other than them to obtain it.
Liu Honglie originally thought that he would be stuck with Guidance Method for the rest of his life and had no hope of joining Marrow Refining Realm. However, at this time, Qian Jin's words gave him a ray of hope.
Liu Honglie looked excited, but quickly calmed down and looked embarrassed.
"Sir, I have been plotting Canghe County for more than a day or two. Originally, it was only a matter of time before I, Black Sand Gang, could capture Canghe County, but Canghe County, Lieutenant Liu Yuanhu, invited Chiyun Guard's centurion Mo Chen, with the addition of a Marrow Refining Realm master, we Black Sand Gang suddenly become passive. If adults can lend a helping hand, we can capture Canghe County city in less than five days!"
Qian Jin frowned slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"This matter of submitting a petition should be completed by yourself. This..."
Liu Honglie immediately understood when he saw Qian Jin's appearance. He took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and stuffed them into Qian Jin's hand.
"If you, sir, can lend a helping hand, I, Black Sand Gang, will definitely follow your lead in the future!"
The banknotes Liu Honglie handed to Qian Jin were all in denominations of one thousand taels. Qian Jin knew at a glance that there were no less than twenty of them!
This adds up to more than 20,000 taels of silver!
It is good that there are abundant resources in Fire Worship Cult, but they are not given for free. If the believers want to obtain them, they must either spend money to buy them or exchange them with contributions.
In the past, when Fire Worship Cult was acting arrogantly, they could still do the work of robbing families and replenishing their own pockets. Now that the major policy changes in the church require them to stay dormant, naturally they can no longer do this kind of work to make extra money.
Without this kind of access, even if Qian Jin is a master of the Bone Refining Realm, more than 20,000 taels of silver is still a huge sum of money!
Money, who would have too much?
Qian Jin put the banknotes away silently, feeling a little better about Liu Honglie who was so virtuous.
"That's alright! Although it's a bit against the rules to do this, but with your sincerity, I can help you hold Mo Chen down."
Zhao Honglie is waiting for this sentence.
Upon hearing this, he immediately thanked Qian Jin.
"You don't need to be polite, but I would like to remind you again, hurry up! Now the teaching's policy is to keep a low profile. If you wait for the day when Chiyun Guard arrives, you will have no choice but to fend for yourself."
Zhao Honglie naturally knew that if that time came, he would have run away without Qian Jin reminding him.
After a few simple explanations, Qian Jin once again used his clever concealment technique and disappeared in front of Zhao Honglie.
Zhao Honglie came outside and faced the dark night, cupping his hands and saying, "Sir, walk slowly!"
The night sky is like water, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and the white remaining light shines on Black Sand Gang's station, where people are busy and busy.
Zhao Honglie looked in the direction of Canghe County City with a ferocious smile on his face.
"Oh, Liu Yuanhu! Your good days are over!"
The next morning Liu Yuanhu got up early and started arranging various affairs.
Although he had a good blow to Black Sand Gang's momentum last night, he also knew very well that such a blow did not touch the foundation of Black Sand Gang at all. What he has to do now is to protect the towns under his jurisdiction and wait quietly for his letter of appointment to arrive.
"Sir, the order to strengthen the defenses has been issued to all towns. However, the warriors in each town are not strong enough. Reinforcing the defenses alone may not have much effect! According to the report from the spies, Black Sand Gang may attack Qianhe Town tonight! I am willing to bring a team of people to support, so that I can make up for it!"
The speaker is none other than Zhang Guangqun.
Liu Yuanhu nodded after looking at the map for a long time.
"That's fine! You can bring a team of good soldiers, remember to drag them down! As long as we don't let them enter the city, we will win! I will forget about your matter of guarding Qianhe Town!"
After saying that, Liu Yuanhu took out another token and handed it to Zhang Guangqun.
"This time you also bring forty sets of heavy armor! If anything happens, report it in time!"
After Zhang Guangqun left, Mo Chen came out carrying a strange-looking wine bottle.
"This Hundred Flower Brew is really good. After drinking two bottles yesterday, I feel that my cultivation has improved a lot. Do you still have any in stock? If you do, get me some to drink." Mo Chen shook the empty wine bottle, feeling a little unfinished.
Liu Yuanhu heard this and said with a smile, "This Hundred Flower Brew is not a big cabbage. How can I have so much inventory! But don't worry, brother, my channels back then have not been cut off. After this incident, I will definitely get a few more bottles to reward you, brother!"
Mo Chen looked at the map for a while and then returned to the backyard to continue drinking.
Gu Family Village
"A Sheng, do you know about Black Sand Gang's defeat in Liu Zhi County last night?"
Liu Yuanhu In order to boost his own morale, he spread the word about what happened last night with embarrassment.
Gu Xiaojiang was in a good mood after learning about this, and immediately brought a bottle of wine to share with Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng shook his head, "I don't know, it sounds like a good thing."
Gu Family Village has chosen to side with Liu Yuanhu. Of course they are happy to see Black Sand Gang being hit.
Because of Liu Yuanhu's promise, Gu Xiaojiang is even more devoted to Liu Yuanhu, and his words are full of admiration for him.
After drinking all the wine, Gu Sheng suddenly spoke as a reminder as Gu Xiaojiang left.
"Xiaojiang, Black Sand Gang is not a bad person. They will definitely get it back after suffering such a big loss last night. There may not be peace in the near future. Please talk to Uncle Jingang and see if you can apply for some experts from Lord Liu to garrison!"
Gu Xiaojiang didn't care at all about this, "Asheng, you are thinking too much. We Gu Family Village are just a small village castle. Even if Black Sand Gang sends people to clean it, there won't be many people coming. During this time, Uncle Jingang has built many fortifications and traps near Zhuangzi. Don't worry, we are very safe!"
Gu Sheng couldn't deny Gu Xiaojiang's blind confidence. After he left, Gu Sheng came to Gu Erniu's house.
"A Sheng! Come on, let's eat together!"
During this time, Shan Gu Sheng often went out to do errands and was often away from home. Gu Erniu suddenly saw Gu Sheng and was a little happy.
During this time, under the guidance of Gu Sheng, Gu Wan has started practicing martial arts and has made good progress. This makes Gu Erniu and his wife even more grateful to Gu Sheng.
"Uncle Sheng, you are back! I have not been lazy these days when you were not here. The pile attack you taught me has improved a lot."
Saying that, Gu Wan couldn't wait to come to the yard to show Gu Sheng his progress in the past few days.
I have to say that Gu Wan's talent is really good. Although he hasn't practiced it for long, he has made rapid progress. He has almost reached the level of success in this skill!
Gu Sheng touched Gu Wan's head and smiled and said, "Xiao Wan is awesome! I'll apply to Master Gu Jingang after a while and see if I can teach you Iron Stone Fist."
Gu Sheng looked at Li Lian, "Sister-in-law, please take Xiao Wan to eat first. Don't worry about me, I've already eaten."
Li Lian was understanding. She saw that Gu Sheng had something to say to Gu Erniu, so she pulled Gu Wan into the house.
"Asheng, let's eat some together!"
Gu Sheng shook his head with a serious expression.
"Brother Erniu, I'm afraid things won't be peaceful tonight. No matter what happens today, you, your sister-in-law, and Xiao Wan must not leave the house even half a step!"
Gu Sheng always had a feeling that Gu Family Village would not be peaceful tonight.
If there is an enemy attack then, he can easily deal with it with his current strength, but he doesn't want to completely expose his strength yet, so he can only let Gu Wan's family hide at home, which will also make it easier for him to protect them.
Gu Erniu saw Gu Sheng's serious expression and knew the seriousness of the matter. He nodded solemnly, "Okay! I will lock the door in a while and stay behind closed doors!"
At night, everything was silent, and most people in Gu Family Village fell into a peaceful sleep.
"Master, it's almost time, let's take action!"
