Chapter 415: The Past of Jixiang Mansion: Twenty Years of Underworld
"Name."
"Brother Crow."
"Um?."
"Oh, it's a crow."
"I'm asking for your real name."
"Tong Liya, just call me Tong Tong."
"Gang."
"Dongxing Gang."
"How many people are there in total?"
"Five."
"So you five tigers...are all the members."
"yes."
“…”
This was probably the first time since the casino opened that it had such a quiet night. In such a large space, only the occasional voice of inquiry could be heard.
The boss had already run away and disappeared. Only the Five Tigers of Dongxing grabbed their ears with both hands, squatted against the wall, and answered Li Chu's questions obediently.
They certainly don't want to be so humiliated.
But just now, Li Chu froze them, and then performed a simple and unadorned sword-controlling technique. At that moment, a revolving lantern began to appear before their eyes...
And reflected on the true meaning of life.
That is, to be born and to live.
Live! These three words circled back and forth in Crow's mind, constantly magnifying, constantly reminding him to answer the questions of the person in front of him honestly.
After Li Chu asked them one by one, he roughly understood the details of these people in front of him, then nodded and said to them: "The reason why I came to bother you is actually to have a small request. I hope you can become my subordinates and join my... Truman, is it okay?"
Although his tone was very polite, the undecided direction of the sword tip always shook the eyes of the Five Tigers of Dongxing.
Can this be rejected?
The five people nodded quickly and said, "It's an honor!"
"Thank you very much." Li Chu also returned the greeting.
really.
Although some people may look hideous, have muscular bodies, and have ferocious tattoos...but after getting to know them for a while, you will find that they are actually very warm and kind people.
"Then, since today is the first day of Truman's establishment... um, everyone doesn't need to squat anymore, just stand up. Um... why are you still kneeling?"
As Li Chu was talking, he wanted to ask a few people to stand up, but Brother Crow stood up and suddenly fell to his knees again.
"Legs... my legs are weak." Brother Crow smiled sheepishly, glanced at the tip of the sword hanging above, and whispered, "That's a good way to put it...
"Okay." Li Chu continued, "I'm Wang Qi, you can call me Young Master Qi, or you can call me Brother Qi. I founded Chumen without any big ambitions, I just hope to unify the gang forces in the entire Jixiang Mansion."
"Clam?"
The Five Tigers of Dongxing all opened their mouths in surprise.
I don't have any big ambitions...
Unify the gang forces in Jixiang Prefecture...
If these words came from someone else, they would definitely think that this person was seriously ill. But when these words came from the mouth of a person who had just defeated them, the Five Tigers didn't know how to feel...
God.
If you have any big ambitions, do you want to change the dynasty?
"What's the matter? Do you have any objections?" Li Chu asked again.
“No, no.” The Five Tiger Generals shook their heads like rattles.
Although I have objections in my heart.
"It doesn't matter. You are also the veterans of my Truman when he was first founded, and you know the situation in Jixiang Mansion better. If you have any suggestions, you can raise them. I will absolutely respect your opinions." Li Chu said again in a gentle voice.
"Is that so..." Brother Crow scratched his head and said, "Seventh Brother, this is the case. The situation in Jixiang City is special. Because of the existence of the Han Palace, there has never been a large force in the city that can unify the world. It is not as large as the Yanzhao Sect and Feitian Sect outside. However, the forces that can survive in the city must have a deep background, which is even more complicated."
"There are three biggest bosses in Jixiangfu City now. One is Bald Liu from East City, one is Uncle Kun from West City, and the other is Fourth Master Zhao from North City. As for our South City, the public security is chaotic and there are all kinds of people. They all look down on it. Instead, there is no stable big force."
"Among these three, Bald Liu is suspected to have a background in the imperial court. The few big brothers in Dongcheng who dare to oppose him, even if they are more powerful than him, are often targeted by Chaotianque and have been suppressed almost to the point of collapse. Fourth Master Zhao has a strong background in the underworld. It is said that he learned his leg skills from Tianwang Mountain and is a chess piece planted by Tianwang Mountain in the north. Uncle Kun is much more mysterious. His methods are more sinister and vicious, and he often kills people without being seen... Together with his son Aqiang, who is known to be invincible in the city, the combination of this father and son is simply invincible. So much so that until now no one has been able to find out what his background is, and this is the most terrifying thing..."
After Brother Crow finished speaking, he said sternly, "Moreover, even if you, Brother Seven, can deal with the three of them, and the forces behind them don't bother with you, you will soon face suppression from the Han Palace... because the Han Palace will not allow any gang to dominate the city..."
"So, let's not talk about whether we can unify the city or not. Even if we can, it will be meaningless."
"Hmm..." Li Chu nodded after listening to him. "The difficulties you mentioned are very realistic. I will seriously consider how to solve them. Is there anything else?"
"Um?"
Brother Crow was stunned after hearing this.
Is this a bit of a problem? I'm clearly advising you to give up this unrealistic idea, boss!
"Anything else?" Li Chu looked at others again.
If these were just "a few difficulties", then they would be nothing.
The other four tigers immediately shook their heads firmly.
"Well, I hope we can work together to make Truman bigger and stronger."
Finally, Li Chu said something very officially.
…
Yicui Tower.
It is the largest brothel in South City.
Such a place that makes a fortune every day has always been the most coveted place in South City. So there is such a saying that whoever is the boss of South City can occupy Yicui Tower.
Nowadays, the one who looks after Yicuilou is a big brother named Nan Batian.
Nan Batian was born in Yanzhao Sect, and was the junior of the current head of Yanzhao Sect. He had a strong cultivation base, but he could not stand the hard life in the mountains, so he ran to this prosperous city to mix in the martial arts world.
In ten years, he gathered at least eight hundred followers, and he personally taught these followers martial arts. Today, his power has become quite impressive.
Some people say that with his strength, he can at least compete with Mr. Zhao Si from North City.
But he himself has stated many times that he has no such ambition at all, and that it is enough for him to just recruit some young apprentices around Yicui Tower and have fun with them every day.
On the second day after Truman was established, Li Chu brought five of his men to Yicui Building.
Although the Five Tigers of Dongxing used to look after gambling houses, given their income, they would not dare to set foot in Yicui Tower unless it was a festival.
They were all very excited to see Li Chu bring them here.
"Seventh brother, we haven't done anything useful for you yet, but you bring us to such a nice place to drink and have fun. This is really... embarrassing." One person said, scratching his head.
"Um?"
Li Chu turned around and looked at him strangely.
Spend money to treat them to wine?
This subordinate's imagination is really big, how could anyone think of this level? He said: "I brought the five of you here, obviously to mess things up."
"ah?"
The Five Tigers were shocked.
The boss didn't say a word, didn't bring any weapons, and just six people came to Nan Batian's place... Who could have thought of this? "Seventh brother, this is not a joke." Crow shouted quickly, "Nan Batian can call four or five hundred people here with just a wave of his hand, and his martial arts skills are also extremely terrifying. The six of us ran here... The main thing is that you didn't let the brothers bring weapons, how can we destroy the place with bare hands?"
"What if someone gets killed when using weapons?" Li Chu asked seriously.
"Clam?"
The Five Tigers of Dongxing were completely dumbfounded.
Are you worried about killing someone?
Shouldn't we worry about whether we will be beaten to death by others first? "Just follow me." Li Chu gave them a reassuring look, then found a maid in the field and said, "Excuse me, please inform Nan Batian and tell him that we are from Chumen and are here to mess things up."
"You're crazy." The maid rolled her eyes at him and turned away.
Li Chu was really stunned.
He had met some impolite men, but he had rarely seen such an impolite woman.
Then he remembered that he was in Wang Longqi's body, and it dawned on him.
It turns out that Wang Longqi has always been treated like this... He is so pitiful.
Li Chu scratched his head. These maids ignored him, and it was not easy to threaten the women. He was really at a loss for the moment.
So I turned around and asked, "You are professionals. When others ignore us, how do you mess things up?"
Brother Crow looked at this new boss and shouted in his heart, "He can beat you to death, he can beat you to death," to suppress the urge to shout "you're crazy."
After a pause, he took a deep breath, smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, smash the place, smash the place, isn't there a word for smashing it?"
"I see." Li Chu understood and pointed around, "Let's get started."
"All right……"
Being pointed at by Li Chu, Brother Crow gritted his teeth, walked to a table of guests, and overturned the table!
Crash...
A burst of screams rang out, and he shouted, "I'm here to mess things up! Tell Nan Batian to get out!"
Amid the noise, a group of maids ran to the back to report.
"Well done." Li Chu gave him a satisfied thumbs up.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Brother Qi." Crow nodded, and then said: "But... Brother Qi, if we don't run now, it will be too late."
"Run?" Li Chu frowned and said, "Why should you run? You can just watch me point at whoever I point at and I'll hit him."
As they were talking, they heard a loud shout.
"Where did you come from, you bastard, to dare to step on my master's place!"
A group of burly men rushed out from behind. They looked larger than the Five Tigers of Dongxing. Their temples were bulging and their eyes were shining brightly. It was obvious that they had mastered martial arts very deeply.
but.
After all, Li Chu was a man who had fought with the Fuhuang demon body, who was at the pinnacle of martial arts. Although that demon body was dead, it was not comparable to these living creatures.
In this way, he naturally would not have any fear of these people.
Seeing a big man about to rush forward, Li Chu raised his hand and pointed, and his body suddenly froze.
The Five Tigers then realized the intention of "shoot wherever you point", and immediately acted like five hunting dogs with unleashed reins, tearing the wild boar that had been hit by an arrow for their master.
Rushing forward, he punched and kicked the immobile man! As soon as he knocked the man to the ground, Li Chu's fingers were waving quickly, and the group of big men who rushed over suddenly froze in place.
For the first time, the Five Tigers of Dongxing discovered that pounding wooden stakes also requires physical strength.
Li Chu's immobilization is really too fast! Don't you need to accumulate power or consume energy to immobilize yourself?
The battle in front was not going well, and the big men behind rushed out one after another. Soon, the field was full of immobilized big men, and the Five Tigers could no longer fight, so they could only try to knock them down one by one.
Li Chu looked around to see if he had missed anything, so he simply walked to the back hall.
When I opened the curtain and went to the back, I saw a group of beautiful girls huddled together and shivering under the protection of the brothel owner.
Li Chu asked in a gentle voice: "Excuse me...Have you seen Nan Batian?"
"Master Nan... No, Nan Batian has already gone out." The old procuress immediately raised her finger and said.
Huh? Li Chu turned around.
Just then, someone screamed, "Ouch! This guy is so hard!"
It seemed like he kicked someone and broke his own leg instead.
Then the crow cried, "Seventh Brother, this is Nan Batian! He's here!"
…
"Name."
"Nan Batian."
"Um?"
"I'm asking about your real name!" Brother Crow added promptly.
“Oh.” Nan Batian, who was squatting on the side with his hands on his ears, nodded obediently, and then said: “My real name is Chen Haonan, but I feel that this name is not domineering enough... It doesn’t sound like the name of a big brother... It doesn’t have the style of a protagonist, so I changed it to Nan Batian.”
Nanba Tiancai is obviously the evil villain who will be defeated...
Li Chu complained silently.
Then he asked, "Gang?"
"I was born in Yanzhao Sect, and now I have founded Batian Sect."
"How many people?"
"Nine hundred and sixty-two people..."
"Okay." After asking, Li Chu simply kept it in mind and continued, "The reason why I came to bother you is actually because I have an unreasonable request. I hope you can become my subordinates and join my... Truman, is that okay?"
Nan Batian looked with trembling eyes at the hundreds of people lying in a disorderly manner behind him. It could be said that almost all of them were knocked down by the man in front of him.
He had been out in the martial arts world and had seen the world. He knew that based on this technique, the person in front of him must be at least a powerful figure.
This kind of person can make you feel like you are in ecstasy with just one finger.
No matter how polite his tone was, would you dare to say no? So Nan Batian nodded firmly: "It's my honor."
The Dongxing Five Tigers sat aside and watched this scene, and they felt inexplicably familiar. For some reason, although it was only one day, they felt as if they were in another world.
"Okay, with the addition of all of you strong allies, my Truman has taken another solid step towards the unification of Jixiang City." Li Chu praised in a special and official way.
Then he released Nan Batian's men one by one and ordered them to clean up the mess. Several core figures of Truman were moved to a private room in Yicui Building.
Li Chu began to stroke his chin and pondered: "Bald Liu, Mr. Zhao Si, Uncle Kun... Which of these people should we start with? Do you have any suggestions?"
"Forehead……"
Nan Batian was new here and didn't dare to speak.
But what can the Dongxing Five Tigers say? Today's events have completely refreshed their horizons.
When the atmosphere was somewhat silent, a big man suddenly knocked on the door, "Master, there is a letter from Xicheng."
"Oh?" Nan Batian was a little puzzled, then he opened the letter and read it, his expression suddenly changed: "Uncle Kun got the news so quickly."
"What's wrong?" Li Chu asked.
Nan Batian raised his head and said, "Seventh Brother, Uncle Kun is going to declare war on you... No, he is going to declare war on us, Truman!"
"Oh?" Li Chu was also a little surprised. He had just taken over Yicui Tower for less than half an hour when he got the news and decided to declare war on Chumen.
The speed of this intelligence and decision-making is indeed extraordinary.
But... I was originally thinking about who to beat, and now that someone has come to my door, I don't have to worry too much.
So he asked directly: "Where is he going to fight?"
Then Nan Batian said slowly: "The place where he arranged for the final battle is..."
"Ivory Mountain!"
