Chapter 85: How is the Heavenly Master? (Thanks to Wuyou, the Realm of Hope Alliance!)
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't tell me that this Overlord Fire Gang is suitable for them."
Shan Xiongxin shook his head and took out the secret book of Gangfa:
“It’s not about fitting them, it’s about tailoring them.”
"What's the meaning?"
Shan Xiongxin said, "In fact, this is not Overlord Fire Gang, but Taiping Fire Gang, right? Almost everyone in the Taoist temple is convinced of this."
"Everyone has practiced external martial arts for many years, so the feeling cannot be wrong."
"No, this is truly the lineage of the Xieji Sect, the inheritance of the Overlord Valley."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, a mountain breeze blew across their cheeks.
Shan Xiongxin asked in a low voice: "Where is the old Taoist priest?"
Zhou Yi shook his head even more vigorously: "After leaving Fuzi Mountain, I haven't seen Master again."
The two were silent for a while.
"Don't think too much about it. Anyway, this is a good thing."
Zhou Yi said "I don't want to", but his master's voice and smile were in his mind.
Shan Xiongxin said, "I must teach them the art of horse fighting, how to wield a lance, and how to hold a long spear."
"oh?"
"This will further stimulate their potential. One day in the future, you might be able to have more than twenty helpers on Zhao Tuo's level."
Shan Xiongxin raised his thick eyebrows: "How is it, are you looking forward to it?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I know a very good equestrian coach."
"What kind of equestrian coach is he?" Lao Dan asked casually, because he was very confident in his equestrian skills.
Zhou Yi said, "He once rode across the Mobei grasslands. Perhaps he had achieved the state of unity between man and horse."
Now Lao Dan is not calm:
"I heard there's a horse-controlling technique in Mobei that allows one to transfer one's inner energy into a horse's body without harming it."
"He may not have reached that level, but I've ridden in his carriage. If Li Mi had chased him with his superb ox-cart skills, he would have left us without a trace."
Old Shan applauded: "We in the Taiping Dao need such talents. We can appoint a Taiping Horse Control Officer and send him to the Dao."
Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh, and the three big words "Bimawen" flashed through his mind.
After thinking about it, I felt it was very impolite and brushed the thought aside.
“Senior Brother!”
Xia Shu and Yan Qiu ran to the gate of the Taoist temple. Apart from reading scriptures every day, the two little Taoist boys did the most thing: settling accounts.
In the past few days, the two of them have also completed the daily trading between Wuzhuang Temple and Baihe Village at the foot of the mountain.
The original daily random trading was changed to once every seven days.
This way, you can buy your daily necessities in one go, without having to do the daily accounting.
It is located at the foot of the mountain.
The head of Baihe Village specially arranged a place for it.
Zhou Yi feels that with further development, the village may become a market.
Because there are many villages around, and they are all neighbors, people will come to join in the fun and no one will chase them away.
Zhou Yi quite likes this kind of life atmosphere.
I thought the two little Taoist boys were going to talk about their latest achievements, but unexpectedly, they looked worried.
"What's wrong?"
Shan Xiongxin moved aside a little, allowing the two little Taoist boys to squeeze next to Zhou Yi, one on the left and one on the right.
Yan Qiu looked worried: "The medicinal materials are consumed very quickly, and the money in the temple won't last for too long."
Xia Shu offered a suggestion: "Brother, if we continue like this, we will be stretched to the limit. Let's find another emperor's tomb to dig."
"What are you digging for?"
"Ouch," the two kids cried out as their senior brother hit them on the head.
They also dig graves. From now on, the Taoist priests can be renamed "Guanshan priests" and conduct their work in a regular manner.
Xia Shu said pitifully:
"Brother Zhang San has mastered the external energy and is inspiring the others. Everyone is so motivated. We can't just cut out the external medicine at this time. Wouldn't that be like pouring a bucket of cold water on them?"
Shan Xiongxin suggested: "That's right, maybe we should do something big."
Zhou Yi was stunned: "You didn't believe their lies, did you? We can't even touch the charity cemetery."
"No, no."
Shan Xiongxin talked about his old business: "I want to find some bandit lairs to do some work."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "I have to admire Yang Dalongtou for this. He has long since wiped out the bandit nests around Nanyang County. The villagers speak well of him, and that's for a reason."
"Of course, there are still two groups now."
"The first is Guanjun City, upstream of the turbulent waters. There lives an ogre named Zhu Can. If we destroy him, we can occupy Guanjun City and make a fortune."
"There's another group of people heading south past Xiangyang. There are four major bandits over there. If we destroy them, we can make a fortune."
Shan Xiongxin was silent.
These two groups have tens of thousands of troops each, and to confront them now would be tantamount to seeking death.
Zhou Yi stopped joking and said seriously:
"Don't panic, I'll find a way."
It’s been fifteen days since Luo Rongtai accidentally lost Kun in Xiaojin Tower.
In the east of Nanyang City, next to Wanhe Martial Arts School, is Caoji Pharmacy.
Several newly hired clerks were busy in the pharmacy when suddenly a young man in black came to the door.
When Cao Chengxian, who was fiddling with the abacus, saw this, he quickly put the abacus aside and walked towards him in two steps.
Several new employees in the store looked around curiously.
But he didn't recognize who this distinguished guest was.
But when Cao Chengxian saw the person in front of him again, his mood was different from before.
He had a vague idea of what was going on in the county recently.
The news about the Xiaojinlou had already spread throughout the city.
The three major forces were slaughtered by a mysterious master, and the Baling Gang's industry in Nanyang that had been stable for so long was destroyed.
In one day, it turned into flowing water.
For Cao Chengxian, this was more shocking than killing many people.
Given the scale of the brothels and their business, the profits they can make must be an astronomical figure.
But he went bankrupt so suddenly.
Today, the Xiaojin Building has become the "Wangyue Building".
These three forces are undoubtedly obstacles to the Cao family's business in Nanyang.
Cao Chengxian knew who was clearing the obstacles.
I can also better understand what the old man said before.
At this time, he stepped forward and bowed, bowing sincerely.
However, the young man in front of him just smiled, helped him by the hand, and gestured for him to go into the inner hall.
Cao Chengxian led the way and closed the door.
"I heard you were in trouble?" Zhou Yi asked.
Cao Chengxian nodded: "Yes, there is one that is not a small trouble."
He continued:
"Thanks to the Ren family's leadership, we've contacted the mountain masters and medicine bosses around Nanyang. The medicinal materials that pass through their hands have the shortest turnover time and the highest profit, but most of them are controlled by the Tuanjiang faction."
"The Tuanjiang faction has been suppressing prices recently. We should have been able to get the herbs easily."
"But those mountain owners are too powerful to dare offend them. Even though we offer a high price, we can only buy a small amount of the remaining goods."
Zhou Yi pondered: "Although the quantity is small, this business should be able to continue. There will always be people who will sell some medicinal herbs to us for a high price."
"That's right."
Cao Chengxian said, "But the Tuanjiang faction has recently moved its forces from outside the city to inside, and they are doing it even more brazenly."
"They bought at a low price, so they bid low. Then they set a new price standard and forced other medicine shops in the city to follow their price. This way, except for the Tuanjiang Sect, the rest of the people can't make any money, and closing down is a matter of time."
"Those closed shops were then bought by the Tuanjiang faction."
"It seems that they are planning to take over all the medicinal herb businesses in the city."
The Xiaojinlou was destroyed. The Tuanjiang faction cooperated with the Baling gang, so they suffered heavy losses.
This is making up for it.
"Do the government officials care?"
"I went to the government office to ask, but they just told me to wait for more information. I think the Nanyang Gang is turning a blind eye this time."
Cao Chengxian frowned and said, "If that's all, our Cao family has its own supply. Even though we lose the profit by shipping it by water, it won't be a problem to keep it going."
"But this time, the Tuanjiang faction..."
He changed the subject:
"Their young leader, Luo Rongtai, has changed drastically since the battle at the Gold Smelling Tower. His injuries haven't fully healed yet, so he's leading his men everywhere looking for trouble, even enjoying it."
"Pharmacies like ours, which are involved in gang interests, are the first to bear the brunt of the impact."
Zhou Yi pressed on: "Have you heard of any other actions by the Tuanjiang faction?"
"Not really."
"Just wait for my news."
"yes"
Zhou Yi left Cao's Pharmacy, stopped a carriage, and went straight to Meiwu Lane.
He hasn't been here for more than ten days.
This time, as we were approaching the teahouse, more than ten thin, smart men in shorts suddenly came out.
It is rare to be so high-profile.
"Tianshi, please!"
More than ten people bowed together and invited him in, their attitudes extremely respectful.
It is not difficult to see from their expressions that
This attitude is not false, but real respect.
even,
Some people looked at the young figure in front of them, and the fear in their hearts could not be hidden and was exposed in their eyes.
Especially looking at the ordinary long sword hanging at his waist
This emotion is even more obvious.
Chen Laomou put down the strange lock and came out immediately.
"For the past ten days, I have been unable to sleep well, and have been looking forward to the arrival of the Heavenly Master."
"Haha, Mr. Chen, you are so polite. I am a little unaccustomed to it."
Zhou Yi laughed and scolded, "Is it okay for you to be so high-profile?"
"As the saying goes, if one side grows stronger, the other side declines. When the Baling Gang retreats, our people advance. That's exactly the truth."
"If the Haisha Gang gets screwed again, I'm going to move out of this shabby alley."
Chen Laomou said again:
"Also, I will introduce you to these people active in Nanyang, so that our Ju Kun Gang will have nowhere to hide from the Heavenly Master."
"What good will it do you to expose yourself to me like this?"
Chen Laomou sighed, "It's not beneficial, but as long as it helps you let go of some of your guard, it's worth it."
"Our gang is mainly engaged in information trafficking, but we suddenly discovered that what we know is so different from the actual situation."
"To be honest, I haven't slept well these days and often have nightmares."
"I dreamed that one day the Heavenly Master would kill all of us who knew the secret."
"With the Heavenly Master's methods, as long as he makes a move, our gang will probably be doomed."
Zhou Yi took the tea he handed over with a smile and put it on the table.
"Why doesn't Tianshi drink?"
"I'm worried you might poison me."
Chen Laomou brought the teacup, blew on it a few times and drank it all, even swallowing all the tea leaves.
As if to say, "This is not poisonous."
Zhou Yi didn't argue with him: "Let's talk about what happened in Nanyang City these days."
Chen Laomou spent half an hour explaining in detail every aspect of the city.
"Bring me a pen and paper."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, Chen Laomou did as he was told.
After a while, Zhou Yi handed him the written note.
"Mr. Chen, let's do this next."
After reading it, Chen Laomou was shocked.
"Can it be done?"
"able."
"Goodbye then."
"Master, won't you stay a little longer?"
Zhou Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "You have guests, so I won't keep you."
Chen Laomou was slightly startled, and Zhou Yi had already stepped out the door.
Soon, footsteps were heard from inside the tea shop.
He was a large man in a brocade robe, with a two-inch long scar on his left cheek, which gave him a ferocious look. However, his eyes were sparkling, and it was obvious that he was a master with superb internal skills.
Chen Laomou asked, "When were you discovered?"
The big man said, "When he first came in, he didn't drink the tea you offered him. After that, he just listened to you talk without saying a word himself, and then wrote down what he needed to do for you."
Chen Laomou asked, "Boss Bu, what do you think of the Heavenly Master?"
This big man is not an outsider.
He is the deputy leader of the Jukun Gang, and the steward of all the messes in this gang. He is also the best water fighter in the Jukun Gang, Bu Tianzhi.
Bu Tianzhi said, "I thought you were exaggerating at first, but now I think you are too limited."
Chen Laomou said, "What about my previous proposal?"
"Of course I have no objection. Give me people when you want them, and give me things when you want them."
Bu Tianzhi said: "I will help you keep a close eye on the Haisha Gang."
"By the way, can you show me that note?"
Bu Tianzhi was very curious: "I want to know what this Heavenly Master is going to do next."
Chen Laomou gave him the note:
"The Tuanjiang Clan is truly insane. They're not doing business as usual, but are trying to provoke him."
