Cuitik sat on a large bluestone, took out a stack of paper and a pen, filled it with ink, and began to settle accounts with Li Banfeng.

"Our friendship is unbreakable, I never doubt that, but business matters must be made clear first, especially this deal, which will cost me a lot. Your friend has a special kind of fungus growing on his body. You have received higher education and know how difficult fungi are to deal with.

Moreover, this kind of fungus is beyond my knowledge. I have never seen a similar species of fungus, and I have no way to directly develop an effective strategy against this kind of fungus.

And you want me to make a drug that can kill this type of fungus, which further increases the difficulty of treatment. Given such high costs, the fees I charge are also very considerable. "

Li Banfeng was ready: "Go ahead!"

Cui Tik first proposed the first condition: "I came to Desong Cliff to maintain order under the order of the peddler. I signed contracts with many Desong leaders here, asking them not to start a war in a short period of time, otherwise they will suffer from serious diseases.

But the main problem now is that it is not just Dexiu who is involved in the Desong Cliff War. There are also many gangs in Pro Province. They refuse to sign any contract with me, and I cannot kill them. According to the constraints of the peddler, the number of people I can kill is limited.

So the first thing I want you to do for me is to get these disciples to leave Desong Cliff. If you can't expel all of them, at least get most of them to leave."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "This can be done."

Cuitik proposed a second condition: "Desongya suffered very serious losses in this war. According to my inference, they will starve this winter."

I have been hungry before. You can't let a hungry person stay rational. Faced with the test of survival, they are likely to start a war again. My friend, I hope you can provide a batch of food to Desong Cliff. This should not be too much of an expense for you. "

"I agree to this, too."

Cuitik has changed a lot, and Li Banfeng can't figure out where the change comes from. Is it the influence of the peddler?

"The third condition is that in this war, several key figures have been restless. I wanted to kill them, but their prestige in Desong Cliff is extremely high. Killing them may lead to more serious conflicts. I hope you can help me deter these people. Just deterrence is enough."

Li Banfeng looked at Cuitik and asked, "Is this really you? Am I recognizing the right person?"

Cuitik smiled and said, "I'm just trying to solve the problem in a more effective way, for example..." "Noodle soup, delicious!" The child brought the noodle soup to the light bulb.

Cuitik stood up and took the child away: "I told you, don't play games with him first, he has a lot of small things on him, very dangerous little things. The light bulb looked down at the child, he was not very interested in the soup, he didn't want to eat, he just wanted to stand straight like now.

Cuitik came close to the light bulb. The density of fungi on the light bulb made Cuitik frown. "The good news is that through you, I can get a lot of experimental samples. The bad news is that I may not be able to eat them, and you may not be able to bear them either."

Bulb glanced at Cuitik, turned his head, and still stood straight.

Cuitik concentrated his mind and stood next to the bulb. After more than three minutes, Cuitik's cheeks swelled up. This was not an exaggeration. The number of fungi was indeed too much for Cuitik to eat.

He swallowed it hard, and his cheeks swelled up again. He didn't know whether it was from the light bulb or he hadn't swallowed it just now and spit it out again. After swallowing it repeatedly several times, Cuitik let out a long breath and looked at Li Banfeng: "Fungi and spores, it feels wonderful!"

Li Banfeng looked at the light bulb

That night at the Dark Star Bureau, Bulb had been standing the whole time, and he had also been standing for most of the time on the train. Now he was finally tired of standing, and he lay down on the ground.

"Seventh Master, the sky in Pro Province is really blue." The moment she lay down, Dengbao burst into tears. Mijian and Haitang were very excited, and they also thought that the sky in Pro Province was very blue.

Chuitik was very excited. Not only was the sky blue, but he also saw an angel falling from the sky.

"Li Qi, my friend, look, an angel has come to the world. This is a miracle!" Cuitik excitedly rushed up the mountain road.

He didn't see a miracle. He probably took an overdose of fungi and got poisoned. Li Banfeng had seen similar cases in the Dark Star Bureau, and there had been many such incidents in Nanzhao Province. Seeing the direction where Cuitik was running, the child was very anxious. He shouted and chased after him.

"High, high!"

"There is a huge word '德' here. It seems that angels also believe in morality!" Cuitik waved his hands and jumped off the cliff. The child screamed in fear. After a while, Li Qi flew up from the bottom of the cliff carrying Cuitik.

While singing Amichan's ballad, Cuitik waved his hands and imagined himself as an angel flying in the sky.

The bulb was not completely cured, as Trick himself said, the amount of fungus was too large for him to eat it all in one go.

The trouble is that if it can't finish eating it in one go, the remaining fungi will immediately multiply in large numbers. By the next morning, the light bulb will run to the entrance of the cave and stand there again.

"We can't solve this tricky fungus by just manipulating microorganisms," Cuitik said with a headache, "I have to make some friends and have a good fight with them." Although there were some setbacks, Li Banfeng trusted Cuitik: "Let's control their disease first. I'll go check on the gang members first."

As soon as he arrived at Desong Cliff, he was sent to Decheng Mountain. Before Li Banfeng had time to visit various villages, he spoke to Luo Zhengnan on the phone and came to Deyuan Village first.

Cui Tike and Luo Zhengnan were both impressed by this village, because the village chief Song Demei was the core figure in this war. He came to the west entrance of the village, and the archways on the village road extended all the way to the depths of the village, which were denser than the archway street in Yaowanggou. After wandering around the village for a while, Luo Zhengnan came and Li Banfeng asked, "Who built these archways?"

"They are all built for the people of Deyuan Village, including loyal ministers, top scholars, filial sons, and heroic women. These are all people of great virtue. There are more than a hundred memorial archways here." "More than a hundred people of great virtue came from one village?"

"That's not a lot. I've been asking around these past two days. Deyuan Village calls itself the source of great virtue. Many people have died for many years and are still waiting for memorial archways to be erected. Although the village chief has promised many people, there is not enough land in the village."

Was this war started because there was not enough land for erecting a memorial archway?

Li Banfeng asked, "Have you gathered enough information about the various gangs?"

Luo Zhengnan was prudent in his work: "We have gathered all the information. A total of 16 gangs, big and small, have sent people to Desong Cliff. Among them, the leaders of two gangs came in person." Li Banfeng was stunned: "Who invited them? Why are they so important?"

"Most of them were hired by Song Demei. Song Demei had been in the underworld in her early years and made many friends. This time, she invested a lot of money. She plundered all the villages under her control and even sold the food for the winter. She gave all the money to these disciples."

Li Banfeng understood the situation and had a strategy to deal with it: "You inform these gangs, and let's find a place to treat them to a meal tomorrow night."

Luo Zhengnan was a little embarrassed: "Seventh Master, this place is not easy to choose. If we choose another village, they may not be willing to go. If we choose Deyuan Village, Song Demei may not tolerate us.

Li Banfeng thought that Deyuan Village was a good place. "Let's choose this archway street. I think this place is good. I want to see if Song Demei dares to stop us. If she really has the courage, things will be much easier."

Luo Zhengnan advised, "Seventh Master, Doctor Cui is a good killer, but why don't you do it yourself?

When I was chatting with Doctor Cui, I deliberately asked a few questions. This time, the peddler ordered it to happen, and he couldn't just kill people casually. "Li Banfeng raised his eyebrows: "He can't kill people, what does it have to do with me? I didn't agree to the peddler."

Luo Zhengnan shook his head and said, "It makes sense, but it's not the case. The peddler doesn't allow Dr. Cui to kill people at will, and if we kill them like that, wouldn't that be deliberately insulting the peddler? How about we discuss it and kill as few people as possible?

The two discussed it and sent invitations to all the gangs and factions. Luo Zhengnan also specially invited Song Demei. What Li Qi said came true. Song Demei did not stop Luo Zhengnan, but she claimed that she was busy in the village and did not come to the banquet.

The people from the major gangs did not refuse Li Qi's request. When the time came, everyone was present. However, they had already discussed in advance that they could eat and drink, but the people from each gang must not withdraw.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the banquet started on time. People from various gangs looked around, but no one saw Li Qi.

Luo Tongkui, the silver seal of Sanyingmen, asked, "Lao Luo, what does this mean? We brothers gave face to Master Qi, but Master Qi didn't look down on us. He invited us to dinner, but we didn't show up. What does this mean?"

Luo Tongkui has a big head, a shiny skull, and no hair. He injured his right eye in his early years and wears an eye patch on his face. He looks a bit like a cancer patient.

Luo Zhengnan smiled and said, "Master Kui, please don't get angry. Master Qi has already arrived. This is my own decision. I want to have a drink with everyone here first to catch up and catch up."

"Why should I talk to you? If Li Qi doesn't come, why are we here? Does it mean you're missing out on a meal?" Luo Tongkui stood up to leave when he suddenly felt a tingling sensation. His body shivered for a moment, and then he sat back in his chair.

If it were someone from another state, he would definitely know that he was electrocuted, but few people from Mainland China have seen it. Luo Tongkui had seen it, but he had never seen anyone being electrocuted, so it took him a while to react. Luo Tongkui pointed at Luo Zhengnan and cursed, "You bastard, you dare to fight me!"

Hearing Luo Tongkui's cursing, several guards rushed forward and protected Luo Zhengnan.

Luo Tongkui was not convinced and called his brothers over: "What's the matter? Let's measure it here. We at Sanyingmen won't fall for your tricks!"

Luo Zhengnan asked the guards to step back and asked Luo Tongkui to sit down first: "Master Kui, don't be so angry. I'm doing this for your own good. A few quarrels between us are nothing. If you still talk like this when Master Qi comes, it will be a big deal."

"I say this everywhere I go. I just want to see how serious the matter is. Doesn't Li Qi want to see me? Then let him see our Da Jin Yin. If he has anything to say, tell Da Jin Yin. Don't tell me!" Luo Tongkui got up and left.

Luo Zhengnan did not stop him, but turned to ask the others: "Everyone, do you all mean the same thing?"

Jiang Jingqi, the leader of the White Crane Gang, spoke up: "Brother Luo, Master Qi has taken good care of our gang, and we have a pretty good relationship, but we all know the rules of the underworld. If we agree to help someone settle a matter, there is no reason to stop halfway.

I think what Master Kui said is right. If Master Qi doesn't want to see us, he shouldn't have invited us. If you have anything to say, just talk to our leader."

The leader of the Sand Snake Alliance, Sha Jianfeng, took a puff of his cigarette and sneered, "Seventh Master looks down on the brothers of the various halls. I won't say anything. My eldest brother Fengzi is the leader of the Sand Snake Alliance, and Seventh Master can't condescend to meet him? This is too much of a disregard for us!

We believe that the Seventh Master has the ability to turn the tide in Pro Province, but we do not accept it. I dare not say it to others, but we in the Sand Snake Alliance do not accept it. None of our brothers in the Sand Snake Alliance are cowards who are afraid of death!"

"We refuse to submit, and our brothers are not afraid of death!"

Everyone stood up and was about to leave the table. Luo Zhengnan shouted, "Don't worry, the food is served."

Sha Jianfeng twisted her waist, and the tight-fitting brocade cheongsam fit tightly to her body. Her waist was round and big, which was particularly pleasing to the eye. "Keep it for yourself. We are not eating at your place. We are not that poor!"

Luo Zhengnan admired in his heart that the Sand Snake Alliance was a medium-sized gang. Let's not talk about other abilities, but Da Fengzi's appearance and figure were really impeccable. "Sister, since you're here, you have to eat this first dish before you leave. Guys, open the pot!"

Luo Zhengnan ordered to boil the pot, and a young man brought a pot and opened the lid. The aroma floated out with the steam. Everyone looked into the pot and saw a big bald head stewing in the pot, with an eye patch on his right eye.

This head belongs to Luo Tongkui, the seal of Sanyingmen.

He had just left, and within a few minutes of smoking a cigarette, his mind was already stewing. Sha Jianfeng twisted his waist again and turned back to sit in his chair.

The rest of the people also sat down, lowered their heads, and said nothing.

Luo Zhengnan lit a cigarette and sighed softly: "You are not familiar with the Seventh Master, so just listen to my advice. Sometimes not being able to see the Seventh Master is not necessarily a bad thing. Look, Master Kui insisted on seeing the Seventh Master, so he is ready to go. Everyone, don't be idle, pick up your chopsticks and eat. Let's eat and talk."

How to eat it? Eat Luo Tongkui's head?

Everyone was silent. Luo Zhengnan knocked off the ash from his cigarette and sighed, "It seems that this dish is not to my taste."

"It doesn't matter if it's not to your taste," Li Qi pulled a chair and sat next to Luo Zhengnan, "Pack it up and send it to Shen Jinzhong." Everyone shuddered, they didn't know who this person was, nor did they know when he came.

Sanyingmen is the largest gang. Seeing this man's attitude towards Shen Jinzhong, the golden seal of Sanyingmen, everyone present guessed his identity. Luo Zhengnan smiled and said, "Don't you all want to see the Seventh Master? Now you have seen him!"

Everyone's face turned pale. They didn't dare to look up or speak. No one dared to look at Li Qi for even a second.

Li Banfeng glanced at everyone and said, "Don't be restrained, eat and drink. This dish is not to your taste, I will change it for you!" Except for Li Qi and Luo Zhengnan, everyone present shuddered at the same time.

Li Qi continued, "After this meal, it's time for us to get going."

Everyone shuddered again, and Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm saying that you should all go back to your own homes. You are all courageous people, and your brothers are not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean you are not afraid of death, right?"

Everyone lowered their heads in silence. What Li Qi said did make sense.

Li Banfeng specifically asked Sha Jianfeng: "Master Sha, will you be back tomorrow?"

"I'll be back!" Sha Jianfeng nodded repeatedly, "No need for tomorrow, I'll be back tonight."

Li Qi exclaimed: "Alliance Leader Sha is a smart man. Our Lao Luo always praises you, saying that among all the big shots in Pro Province, you are the one he admires the most."

Luo Zhengnan's cheeks flushed slightly, and Sha Jianfeng quickly said, "Brother Luo and I have a deep friendship. How about this, I won't leave tonight, and Brother Luo and I will have a couple more drinks and reminisce about the past."

That night, each gang quickly gathered their men, packed up their things, and prepared to go home.

Sha Jianfeng instructed her subordinates about these matters, and that night she really went to Lao Luo to reminisce about the past: "Brother Luo, I have an impatient temper and my words are not tactful. Please don't take it to heart." As she spoke, Sha Jianfeng twisted her waist and sat on Luo Zhengnan's lap.

Luo Zhengnan sighed softly: "I don't take it to heart, but you really do!"

The next morning, all the major gangs gathered their personnel and gifts and headed to the west entrance of the village. They crossed the archway and went straight to the main road. In less than half a day, they reached the train station. Song Demei stood under her father's archway and clasped her fists to the crowd and said, "Brothers, I have never treated you badly, have I? Are you really going to abandon me?" Ma Songquan, the leader of the Tangzhou Gang, put his handkerchief on his shoulder, clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Sister, we are in trouble."

"No need to say more," Song Demei sighed, "Xiao Ma, when you were selling porridge on the street in Haichiling, the people from Yaojiazhai overturned your stall and beat you half to death. Who interceded and saved you? You won't forget this incident, right?"

When Ma Songquan heard this, he recalled the past, his nose felt sore, and he wiped his tears with the towel on his shoulder.

He had worked in Sanyingmen in his early years, and after reaching the second level of cultivation, he did not want to live a life of worrying about his head, so he quit Sanyingmen and set up a stall in Haichilingtoudaoling. He sold some noodles, soup, porridge and rice, went out early and came back late, and earned a few dollars a day, which was enough to support his family.

That day, Song Demei went to visit Pan Dehai and stopped by Yaojiazhai, a local gang in Haichiling, when he happened to see Ma Songquan's misfortune. Before leaving, Song Demei wanted to have a bowl of porridge and happened to come across Ma Songquan's stall.

Dexiu eats porridge, so he must eat with some virtue. Song Demei first said that the rice tasted wrong, then the water tasted wrong, and then the heat was wrong. In short, he was not satisfied with the porridge. Ma Songquan also climbed up the rivers and lakes, and had a bit of temper, so he argued with Song Demei.

The young leader of Yaojiazhai was present and ordered his men to overturn the soup and porridge stall and beat Ma Songquan half to death. Ma Songquan had great cultivation and could not swallow this humiliation, so he wanted to fight to the death with the people of Yaojiazhai.

When Song Demei saw this situation, he quickly tried to please everyone, said a few words in the middle, and tried to smooth things over. Then the matter was over. Was this a favor?

How to read the points.

If Ma Songquan had been a coward and just let it go, the matter would have been forgotten and Song Demei would not have remembered this kindness.

But after this incident, Ma Songquan didn't want to live a life of being bullied anymore, so he started over and formed a gang, which is now the Tangzhou Gang. No matter where he went, he always covered himself with a towel and looked like a porridge seller.

He managed the gang well and his own skills also improved. Ma Songquan arrived at Yaojiazhai, pushed the former young leader to the ground, stepped on his face and demanded that Yaojiazhai pay 20 silver dollars to ransom him, otherwise he would take his life.

Song Demei came forward again and said some good words to both sides, asking Yaojiazhai to pay a compensation of 100,000 oceans and rescue the young leader. After this incident, Song Demei left another favor in Yaojiazhai.

This matter spread throughout the world, and the news of these two pieces of kindness also spread.

When Song Demei met Ma Songquan, she had to tell him what happened that year. Ma Songquan said with tears in his eyes: "Sister, after hearing what you said today, our Tangzhou Gang will never leave here! Brothers, go back!"

The head of a family! Spitting is a nail! Ma Songquan said that he would never leave from the west entrance of the village. He must keep his word! He led his men out from the east entrance of the village.

As he walked along the road, Ma Songquan kept muttering to himself: "Old sister, I sincerely wish for you. If I die, I will go to your grave next year and bring you a bowl of porridge. Please see if this bowl of porridge is cooked properly."

After everyone in the gang had left, Song Demei sat at the archway at the entrance of the village to think about a solution. She called her three sons over to help her come up with ideas.

The eldest son thought that this matter should be stopped: "Mom, let's stop fighting over this local god. You have your own territory outside, why do you have to be obsessed with Desong Cliff?

Wang Zhengde's deed is buried somewhere, and many of the surrounding villages do not obey us. The peddlers do not like us either, and they sent a foreigner to harm us. Now Li Qi has also intervened. If we continue to fight like this, we will not gain anything, and our family assets will soon be gone."

Song Demei didn't say anything. She did ask her three sons to come together to give advice, but she didn't like the eldest son's idea. Seeing this, the second son didn't rush to speak: "Mom, let me think about this carefully."

The third brother was young and full of vigor: "Who the hell is Li Qi? How dare he come to our door to cause trouble?"

The eldest brother glared at the third brother and said, "I don't know who Li Qi is. You should at least go out and ask around. He's not someone you want to mess with."

The third brother sneered, "You think I haven't heard of him? Isn't he just the new number one figure in Green Water City? We have no control over what he does in Green Water City, but he can't be so arrogant in Desong Cliff!

Those gangsters are scared out of their wits, so we won't beg them. I'll call the elders from the surrounding villages and invite Li Qi to drink tonight. If he doesn't dare to come, he's just a useless person. If he dares to come, we'll take him away at the table."

Song Demei didn't say anything, but a smile appeared on her face. She obviously liked what the third brother said.

The second brother understood Song Demei's thoughts and quickly said, "We don't have to use knives. Dexiu disciples believe in winning people over with virtue. If Li Qi listens to advice and knows the pros and cons of advancing and retreating, it would be fine if we spare his life."

After saying this, the old lady became even happier.

The eldest brother is really old. As people get older, they are inevitably a bit stubborn. Even though he knows that the mother doesn't like to hear it, he still has to say it.

"Third brother, Li Qi killed Xiao Zhenggong at the banquet of Jiang Xiang Gang. You know about this, right? How clever do you think you are? Do you think Li Qi has never experienced this?

The third brother snorted and said, "Who the hell is Xiao Zhenggong? Can he compare with us?"

The old man said: "That was the leader of Jiang Xiang's Gang, and Jiang Xiang's Gang was destroyed by Li Qi!" Song Demei's face became more and more uglier.

The second brother quickly tried to smooth things over: "Brother, Jiang Xiangbang was caught off guard and was attacked by Li Qi. We have made full preparations to capture Li Qi. How can this be the same? Besides, Xiao Zhenggong's cultivation level and our mother's cultivation level should not be compared together!"

The eldest brother was still worried: "What if that foreigner comes with us?"

The second brother was also a little worried about this. If Li Qi came with that foreigner, Song Demei might not be able to withstand it.

The third brother had a plan to deal with it: "If the foreigners come together, we will act according to the situation. If we can capture both of them, we will find a way to capture them. If we really can't capture them, why don't we just not take action?

Let's treat them to a meal and have the meal in peace, then this matter will be over, right? This is the best plan!" The eldest brother still felt it was not safe: "But the key is..."

Bang!

Song Demei slapped the eldest brother in the face and said, "The ancestors of the Song family are all watching from above. When you speak, please pay attention to your own blood." The eldest brother lowered his head and looked at the archway above his head.

This memorial archway is indeed from the old man of the Song family, but the eldest brother still wants to say something. His blood has nothing to do with the ancestors of the Song family, and his surname is not Song. However, this sentence must not be said out loud, otherwise it will not be a slap in the face.

What the third brother said made sense. If Cui Tike came along, he could treat them to a meal. There would be room for maneuver and nothing serious would happen. The third brother invited the elders in the village, the second brother arranged the banquet, and the eldest brother had the most difficult task. He had to go to Decheng Mountain and send an invitation to Li Qi. The eldest brother didn't want to go, but Song Demei said that he had to practice his courage through this matter.

The banquet was scheduled for the next day. The boss sent the invitation to the mountain at dusk, and Li Banfeng actually accepted it.

Seeing that the eldest brother had returned safely, the third brother smiled and said, "Brother, I was right, wasn't I? This is the perfect plan. We can either win or break even, but we will never lose!"

Although the plan was well thought out, there had to be no mistakes in the details. Song Demei was a careful person. He prepared for it with his three sons for an entire night and thought about everything he could think of.

What if Li Qi turns hostile? What if he gives in? What if he is ambiguous and doesn’t express his opinion?

When to talk, when to drink, when to draw the knife, which words are the key, what the right measure is, which words are code words, and who will act first, all need to be carefully prepared.

The next evening, the banquet was ready. Hearing that Li Banfeng was going to attend the banquet alone and Cui Tike would not come, Song Demei was overjoyed and prepared to get rid of Li Qi. The eldest brother was ready, the second brother was also ready, but what about the third brother?

"Mom!" The second son ran into the house in a panic, "Something happened to the third son, he's on the memorial archway!" Song Demei hurried to the memorial archway, but saw the third son hanging on the memorial archway of Old Master Song. When he was taken down, the third son was already dead.

Song Demei collapsed on the ground, unable to speak for a long time. The eldest brother didn't know what to say, so he just wiped his tears.

The second brother thought about what the third brother had said before. The third brother repeatedly said that this was a foolproof plan.

The plan was indeed perfect, but who would have thought that Li Qi would not follow it at all. On Decheng Mountain, Li Banfeng was eating the noodles made by Cuitik.

Cuitik looked down the mountain and asked Li Banfeng, "Is this appropriate?"

"There's nothing inappropriate about it," Li Banfeng served Lao Luo a bowl of noodles. "Lao Luo told me that a lot of people in Deyuan Village are waiting in line to have a memorial archway erected. I think the third child in their family is good, so I'll put him on the memorial archway to help him cut in line."
