The Changle Gang is not in Heyang Mansion, but in a valley far away from the official road more than ten miles outside Heyang Mansion.At this time, it is the middle of summer, and the scenery in this valley is very good, like a paradise.Gu Cheng still only brought Xiao Yi, Zhao Jingming and Wang Qi with him this time.As Meng Hantang said, as long as he grasps these three people, he basically doesn't have to worry about anyone in the Jingye Division of Luo County being unconvinced.Wang Qi had a grass in his mouth, and muttered while chewing: "That Changle helped to grow herbs and became fragrant dumplings, do you think they are stupid?"
Why don't you sell all the herbs to me and then let me protect them?
”Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "What people grow is not herbs but elixirs, and ordinary people can't grow this thing."
Besides, they were right not to hand over all the elixirs to me, a small gang like this is walking on thin ice, and they will never put all the bets on one side.If something happens, they don't even have room to regret it. ”Of course, there is another sentence that Gu Cheng didn't say.If it is according to what Cui Zijie said, with the current state of the Jingye Division of Donglin County, if someone really wants to make a move against the Changle Gang, the Jingye Division will not be able to protect others.It is estimated that Haiya also saw this clearly, so he didn't choose Jingye Division as a backer.As they spoke, they came to a large manor in the center of the valley.The manor house covered a huge area, covering almost the entire valley, but at this time the lintel was hung with white flowers, and the lanterns were all changed to white, and the top and bottom were plain.When Gu Cheng and the others came here, a few disciples of the Changle Gang respectfully welcomed them in.At this time, the lobby of the Changle Gang had been decorated into a mourning hall, and the two young men were kneeling there.The older one was Ji Linfeng, the eldest son of the Changle Gang, who was red-eyed and looked extremely sad at this time.The younger one was the second son, Ji Lintang, who didn't look sad, but he also made a heavy and solemn appearance.Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly.Before he came, he had investigated the Changle Gang.The two sons of the gang leader Ji Haiya, Ji Linfeng is old and calm, and he has long been working with Ji Haiya, so it stands to reason that he should be the next gang leader.But in fact, perhaps because he was old enough to have a son, Ji Haiya doted on his second son Ji Lintang even more, which also made Ji Lintang develop an impulsive and arrogant temper.So in this way, no one dares to say who the next gang leader of the Changle Gang is, Ji Haiya died too suddenly, and he didn't even leave the order to pass on the throne."
Dare to ask who this lord is?"
Ji Linfeng stood up and asked."
Under Gu Cheng, the night patrol envoy of Luo County, on behalf of the Jing Ye Division, came to worship the old gang leader."
Ji Linfeng said: "It turned out to be Lord Gu, who has admired his name for a long time. ”Ji Lintang on the side pursed his lips and muttered: "On behalf of the night patrol, then it is not a night patrol." ”With this attitude, he was obviously a little dissatisfied with Jing Yesi only sending someone with Gu Cheng's identity to worship his father.Gu Cheng looked at Ji Lintang and said lightly: "The night patrol envoy is not qualified enough, so who does Ji Gongzi want to worship?"
Commander or Pacifier?
”Before Ji Lintang could speak, an elder of the Changle Gang hurriedly came over and said, "Lord Gu is angry, the second son doesn't mean that.You are invited later, and the people from the other factions have also arrived, and they are all resting in the back hall. ”People are doing funerals, and Gu Cheng is not so stingy that he made a big fuss in the mourning hall because of a word, and when he heard the words, he followed the elder to the back hall.However, the two brothers also verified Gu Cheng's previous investigation.Ji Linfeng is more like his father, very slippery.And that Ji Lintang was a little less city government and a little more arrogant.Gu Cheng walked into the back hall, and at this time, there were already several warriors seated in the back hall, and the elder of the Changle Gang introduced: "This is Lord Gu Cheng, the night patrol envoy of Luo County, who came to worship the old gang leader on behalf of the Jingye Division.Please wait for the time being, and when today's guests are all received, the eldest son and the second son will come to discuss with everyone. ”Among those people, a handsome, but squinting-eyed young man smiled: "It's okay, we and the Changle Gang are also old friends, you go and get busy first, don't worry about us." ”Changle helped the elder retreat, and everyone present looked at Gu Cheng with a look of concern in their eyes.There are only a few night watchmen in Heyang Mansion, they all know each other, when did a generation of night watchmen appear?
The squinting young man took the lead in laughing and said: "Brother Gu looks a little blind, let me introduce myself first, the Zhou family in the east, Zhou Jianxing." ”Gu Cheng subconsciously narrowed his eyes, arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Brother Zhou, who has admired his name for a long time." ”The corners of Zhou Jianxing's mouth twitched: "I know that my eyes are not big, Brother Gu doesn't have to learn from me." ”"Brother Zhou, don't be surprised, it's just a matter of getting used to it."
Gu Cheng is really used to it, whenever he thinks about something, he habitually squints.There are a total of four companies that have elixir sharing agreements with the Changle Gang, among which the Zhou family is not a competitor of the Jingye Division, because the strength of the Zhou family is too strong.It is recognized in the rivers and lakes that those who can put place names in front of their families are the ones who have great influence in a place.The place name of the Zhou family is not in front of the Zhou family in Heyang, but in the east of the Zhou family, and the status of the other party can be imagined.There is also the Zhou family in Heyang Mansion, but that is only part of the Zhou family's business and part of the clan.Therefore, all along, the Zhou family has a thirty percent share of the elixir, no more, no less, and this part of the Jing Ye Division does not dare to move.A Taoist priest in his thirties, wearing a Taoist robe, with a somewhat pale face and a slightly gloomy temperament, said in a deep voice: "Changchun Guan, Qiu Liandong." ”Changchun Temple is a small Taoist temple in Heyang Mansion, with only a dozen people, but it is also an authentic cultivator force, and the quality is very high, and every disciple is not weak.A sword-wielding martial artist in his forties next to him said lightly: "Elder Dong Kui of the Qingshan Sword Sect." ”He pointed to a Taoist priest with a goatee and a gossip robe beside him and said, "This is my disciple of the Qingshan Sword Sect, the Black Stone Daoist. ”The Qingshan Sword Sect is mainly based on sword cultivation, but this level of sword sect is not pure, although it is called the Sword Sect, it also teaches fist techniques or something.Finally, there was a short and fat old man in his fifties."
Old man, Dao Xuanzong Elder Lin Zhong."
Dao Xuanzong sounds like a Taoist sect, but in fact, they are not from an orthodox Taoist background, they can only be regarded as a miscellaneous Daomen, and at the same time, they have cultivated some left Dao secret methods, and they are named Dao Xuanzong, which is just rubbing the reputation of the Daomen.Previously, the elixir of the Changle Gang was divided into three percent of the Jingye Division, three percent of the Zhou family, two percent of the Changchun Guan, and one percent each of the Qingshan Sword Sect and the Dao Xuan Sect.Now that Ji Haiya has passed away, the biggest opinions on this elixir should be the Qingshan Sword Sect and the Dao Xuan Sect.After introducing each other, everyone present fell into an embarrassing state.Everyone was silent, only Zhou Jianxing was holding a plate of melon seeds that he didn't know where to find them, and he was quite rhythmic.Although nominally they all came to worship the old gang leader Ji Haiya, in fact, all of them only came for the elixir of the Changle Gang.Speaking of which, the Changle Gang is the saddest one, obviously it is something produced by their own gang, but they can't be the masters themselves.In the past, when Ji Haiya was here, he was able to balance the forces of all parties with his own strength, and he did not offend anyone when he was profitable.But with the two sons of the Changle Gang now, they haven't learned half of Ji Haiya's methods.After being embarrassed for half an hour, Zhou Jianxing's melon seeds had already been eaten, and the two brothers, Ji Linfeng and Ji Lintang, came to the back hall.However, Ji Linfeng was followed by a thin Taoist with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks.The moment he saw this person, Gu Cheng suddenly narrowed his eyes.That Daoist turned out to be the Five Visceral Daoist who was invited by his aunt to assassinate him in the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong!
