Upon hearing this, Wan Zhuliu hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed, "I was worried about your safety, so I lost control of my strength for a moment, and that's why..."
"snort!"
Hearing this, Master Qi snorted coldly and was too lazy to get angry.
But he still coldly warned: "I have Gong Rujing to protect me, so you don't have to worry about it. Just do your job well and don't let it happen again!"
Wan Zhuliu narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Huang Tianhua’s death brought relief to the patrol department.
After searching for these days, I finally got some clues.
After inspecting the body, the chief inspector recognized it and said, "It's the Black Dragon King's man!"
"Who cares if they are the Black Dragon King or the White Worm King? If they dare to provoke me, I will destroy them all!"
Master Qi waved his hand and gave orders to the chief inspector.
The patrol chief twitched his face, as if he was considering his words, before he said, "Sir, this Black Dragon King is a difficult organization. Local authorities have been hunting them down, and it will be difficult to eliminate them."
"So you mean these useless people under you don't have the ability?" Master Qi asked back.
"This is not a question of personal ability, but involves... I suggest reporting this matter to the governor!" The chief inspector answered tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Master Qi fell silent.
After a moment, he said, "No need for now. Keep looking. There's a woman in this group with long hair. We must catch her!"
"...I will follow your orders, sir!" The chief inspector was also somewhat helpless and could only nod.
Another day of wandering.
When he was off duty, Wan Zhuliu asked for leave from the Chief Patrol, "Sir, I was hit by a palm the day before yesterday, and I feel a little chest tightness today. I'm here to ask for a day off to recuperate!"
"oh?"
The patrol chief's eyes darkened, then relaxed again, "You have done a great job in killing the bandits, and we still want you to continue leading the team.
However, since you are injured, you should see a doctor immediately, it will be accurate!"
"Thank you, sir!"
After leaving the yamen, Wan Zhuliu gave Song Yi a few words of advice, asking him not to offend Master Qi. He then returned home, quickly changed his clothes, and left the provincial capital.
Hu Er sent a letter saying that he had found a new group of people who were suitable for providing attribute points, and that his Gangzi Gang had encountered a tough opponent during its expansion and needed help to solve the problem.
When Wan Zhuliu rushed to Liuhou overnight, Hu Er had already been waiting for a long time.
As soon as they met, he hurried over and said, "Master Wan, here are the people we collected in Pingyu. There are twenty-three people in total, and they were specially selected for their looks!"
"Um!"
Wan Zhuliu was wearing a black robe, with his hands behind his back. He nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with Hu Er's dedication.
But when he glanced over, he found that there were some bruises at the corners of Hu Er's eyes.
Then he asked, "What's going on? Are you having trouble expanding the gang?"
"Actually... it wasn't a gang problem. When I was collecting these girls, I offended a local force in Pingyu. It was my eldest brother who used his connections and paid a lot of money to get me released!"
"Oh? What's the name of this force?"
"It's called the Fire Worship Hall!"
Hearing this, Wan Zhuliu nodded and asked, "What is Hu Hanshan's plan?"
He wanted to see the county lieutenant's attitude first.
"Brother, what you mean...we can't let this go for nothing. One thousand taels of silver is no small sum!"
"One thousand taels...to redeem you, including these women?"
Hu Er lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a weaker tone, "Borrow me one, those women and a dozen of the gang's best men are still being held in the Fire Worship Hall. They said they would take another... five thousand taels!"
"So, you didn't bring anyone back with you?" Wan Zhuliu was a little unhappy.
Hu Erganzi had seen Wan Zhuliu's killing spree.
Seeing him angry, Hu Er was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. "Master Wan, Pingyu is close to the northern part of the Great Wall. The main members of the Fire Worship Hall came from there. They are all masters. The two peak-level Bone Tempering Realm masters I got out of the death row were easily captured!"
Wan Zhuliu didn't say anything.
Ordinary warriors do not have the ability to fight across levels, and the difference in strength will not be particularly obvious due to a small difference in realm.
Therefore, even if one is at the early stage of Tongli Realm, it will take some effort to reach the peak of Bone Tempering.
This means that there is at least an expert above the early stage of Tongli Realm in this Fire Worship Hall.
Hu Erganzi's gang has more and more members, and its influence is expanding faster and faster. In terms of connections, he has the support of the county lieutenant, so he is quite strong.
The only thing that we can’t keep up with is that there are not many experts in the gang.
"If that doesn't work, just incorporate this Fire Worship Hall!"
After this idea came to mind, he immediately arranged: "I'll accompany you to Pingyu!"
"Okay!"
Hu Er was immediately overjoyed. "Then I'll gather two thousand taels of silver first. When the time comes, you can show off your strength, and then we can talk about mercy and get the person back!"
Bang!
The stone table in front of Hu Er was instantly shattered into pieces by Wan Zhuliu's slap.
"My people are holding me hostage and cutting off my financial resources. What's the point of showing any mercy?"
After saying that, Wan Zhuliu stood up and said, "Give me the exact location. I'll go there first on my fastest horse. You don't need to bring any money. Just bring more people and follow behind!"
Soon, as the night was getting dark, a strong horse was galloping along the official road, heading towards Pingyu.
After about three hours, it was already five o'clock in the morning.
In Pingyu County, people were already gathering in the fire worship hall.
Ordinary gang members get up early and go to the morning market every day to collect stall fees, but the leaders are different. They can sleep until they wake up naturally.
However, these leaders are all warriors. As the saying goes, train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer. The main qualities of warriors are diligence and self-discipline.
Therefore, the gang leader He Tieshou and the five leaders slept for half an hour longer, and then went to the gang's meeting hall one after another. After holding a small meeting, they had to strengthen their qi and blood and accumulate strength.
The first one to arrive was the gang leader He Tieshou.
When his tall figure appeared at the entrance of the hall, he felt something was wrong.
He looked up and saw a burly figure sitting on his own gang leader's throne through the faint light seeping in from outside the hall. There was a big sword next to him and he was resting with his eyes closed.
"Did you sleep well?"
The voice sounded coldly.
He Tieshou was suddenly startled, and all his strength surged, raising his hand to point at the figure above.
"You are so brave, why don't you get off now!"
Following his loud shout, other leaders also rushed over and showed their presence.
Wan Zhuliu glanced around and found that except for He Tieshou who was at the peak of Tongli Realm, the auras of the others were in the early and middle stages of Tongli Realm.
Of course, this rough glance is not very accurate, but judging from the fullness of qi and blood, it is roughly correct.
Such a force is indeed considered strong in a county like Pingyu, which is close to the outside of the Great Wall.
He didn't stand up, his eyes fell on He Tieshou, "You dare to kidnap my people, you are quite brave!"
"How dare you speak to our hall master like that? I think you want to live!" A leader nearby immediately stood up, cursed angrily, and was about to step forward to attack.
However, He Tieshou raised his hand to block him from behind, "Sir...are you from Liu Hou?"
