The four finally arrived in Jiujiang at noon the next day. Although the prosperity of Jiujiang is far different from that of Luoyang, it is also one of the cities in the south that has not been baptized by war. Many businessmen have chosen to open shops here in an endless stream. Lin Shihong obviously pays more attention to Jiujiang's business, so he expanded the commercial street and reorganized the distribution order of various stores. Of course, those newly expanded good areas need to be bought at a high price. The bustling city is obviously incompatible with the tensions dozens of miles outside the city. Restaurants and tea shops are lined up in rows, and small merchants and hawkers on both sides of the street are selling constantly. Even at noon on a hot day, the streets are still crowded with people, and there are all kinds of food. There are some customers in the floor shops who are choosing products or discussing prices with the boss. After the four of us entered the city, we did not immediately rush to the branch of Tianya Haige in Jiujiang. After the four of us wandered around the bustling commercial area for a while, I nodded to the three of them, and the four of them disappeared at the same time. Hidden from view were the two flies lurking around us. The four people contracted their breath and suspended in the air. Zhu Yuyan and Fu Junma had manipulated their own energy to firmly lock their figures. As expected, the two of them panicked after suddenly losing the target they were following. After checking around, they went in two different directions. Zhu Yuyan and Fu Junma fell silently in the air. Behind their respective targets, I used secret voice transmission to tell them the contact information of Jiujiang branch, and then led Fu Junyu beside me to go there first to meet Wei Zhenzhen, who had been waiting for a long time. After passing through the intricate streets, we came to an extremely prosperous commercial street in the east of the city. At the end was a quite spectacular mansion. On the tall and wide door number were three large gold-plated characters "Jiangchenghui". The two of us had just walked to the door when we saw a somewhat thin middle-aged man walking up to us from the door and said to me respectfully: "The young one is Cai Maoshu, the housekeeper here, Long." Young Master, please come inside. The leader of the club is already waiting for you inside.¡± Under the leadership of this middle-aged man, Fu Junyu and I walked through the outer house of the ¡°Jiangcheng Club¡±. When we passed the martial arts arena, we both stopped to watch. , there seemed to be preparations for some kind of competition. There were about five or six hundred people sitting around the martial arts stage, and everyone was watching the fight between the two people on the stage attentively. Only a dozen or so of these people have reached first-class skills, while the others are still hovering between second-rate and first-rate. However, such overall strength is enough to challenge other sects in the world. Cai Maoshu stood respectfully beside me, and when he saw me stopping to watch, he naturally did not dare to interfere. After looking at it for a few times, I turned to Fu Junyu next to me and asked with a smile: "Yu'er, how do you think the martial arts of the two people on the stage are?" Fu Junyu smiled faintly. Although the martial arts of the two people on the stage have already glimpsed the realm of first-class masters, But it was indeed a bit unworthy of mention in her eyes. She glanced at me in surprise, not understanding what I meant. She paused for a moment and saw me waiting for her answer with a smile on my face before she said casually: "Both of these two people were good at practicing martial arts, but it's a pity that they only started practicing martial arts when they were still young. If they want to achieve great success in martial arts, they must learn Xiao Zhong's "Secret of Immortality" and change them. As for the people in the audience well, let¡¯s not mention it.¡± Although my conversation with Fu Junyu was soft, the sound of the two people¡¯s voices was clear because I had a layer of amplification around them. It reached the ears of everyone in the martial arts arena. The bodies of the two people competing on the stage only trembled slightly. It was obvious that Fu Junyu had hit the mark, but the movements of their hands and feet did not pause at all, and they were still fighting vigorously. The hundreds of people below showed no signs of rioting because of Fu Junyu's contemptuous words. They were still watching the contest between the two people on the stage, as if they hadn't heard anything. Seeing the reactions of everyone in front of me, I smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and seemed to be saying to myself: "Be calm and calm in all things, so that you can be as firm as a rock." Then I turned my head to the dish next to me. Maoshu smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad. Butler Cai, please lead the way." At this moment, Cai Maoshu finally understood that what I just did was a small test for the "Jiangcheng Club" congregation. You must know that people who practice martial arts are the most proud, but Pride is also the most taboo. If you can't face others' contempt for you calmly and can't stand a few words of ridicule, you will definitely not be able to practice martial arts with such an impetuous mind. Thinking of this, Cai Maoshu couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He knew that the contemporary "Lord"'s martial arts skills were astonishingly high. He had recently won the name of "God of Martial Arts" and his reputation surpassed that of the "Three Great Masters". But when I saw him today, I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful and pay so much attention to a subordinate in the small helm. How could I not be moved? The reverence in his eyes as he looked at me increased a lot. Walking into the inner house, I saw a burly middle-aged manA man, led by several first-class masters, had already been waiting in the courtyard. When he saw me, he knelt down on one knee respectfully and saluted: "My subordinate, Chen Liangyu, the helmsman of the Jiujiang branch, pays homage to your lord." And the people around us Butler Cai Maoshu also knelt on the ground respectfully. I waved my hand, lifted everyone up, and smiled at Chen Liangyu: "Master Chen has improved his skills after not seeing it for many days. I'm glad to congratulate you." Chen Liangyu heard my appreciation for the little surprise on his eyebrows and said: "It's It depends on the Lord's discernment. How many days the subordinates can enter depends on the Lord's guidance." I smiled and said: "You are welcome, Jiujiang Branch is under your leadership. I am very satisfied with your achievements in a few days, as a reward for you. Seeing that your cultivation relies heavily on internal strength, I will teach you a section of internal strength and mental skills, which will be of great benefit to your future progress. " Chen Liangyu. Hearing what I said, he was stunned for a moment in disbelief, and his face showed unprecedented ecstasy. He immediately knelt down on the ground to salute me again, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty be kind to your subordinates." Tong Zai Zai, subordinate" The faces of the other people around me all showed unusual looks of envy. These people knew about my high martial arts, although they had not witnessed it with their own eyes. "Hey" I smiled and waved my hand, using my real expression Qi held up his body to prevent him from kneeling down, and interrupted him: "This is what you deserve, Captain Chen. There is no need to be polite. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future. Our 'Tianya Hai Pavilion' needs talents like Captain Chen." ." After that, he taught him a secret formula of inner strength through sound transmission, and then continued: "This mental formula is called 'Nine Yang Divine Skill', which was a rare Xuanzong mental method at that time. It is divided into five levels. Your current cultivation level is already close to the second level. I hope you will practice more in the future and you will definitely achieve great results in the future. " Chen Liangyu memorized the instructions I gave him and later heard me say this. He was shocked when he said that his current skill has reached the level of a super master, and what he is most proud of is that his internal strength is much better than masters of the same level, but his internal strength has not yet reached the level of "Nine Sun Divine Skills" "The second level of skill shows how powerful the "Nine Yang Divine Skill" is. At this moment, he was already ecstatic, and if he hadn't been in front of me, he would have screamed with excitement. Fu Junyu, who was accompanying me, said to Chen Liangyu, who was looking ecstatic: "Master Chen, have Sister Wei and the others arrived in Jiujiang?" When Chen Liangyu heard Fu Junyu's question, he quickly straightened up and respectfully replied: "Several of you The lady has arrived in Jiujiang the day before yesterday and is currently resting in the annex. The subordinate will lead the Lord and his wife to the annex." After that, under the guidance of Chen Liangyu, he walked through several corridors and arrived. It was a very quiet courtyard, and I could see Shiba Qi at the door at a glance. After Shang Zhen and others saw me and Fu Junyu, they hurriedly came up to us and respectfully welcomed us into the courtyard. Since my family members lived inside, Shibaqi and Chen Liangyu stopped at the door. At this time, Chen Liangyu seemed to have thought of something. He patted his forehead and said to me: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have something to report." "Oh?" I looked at Chen Liangyu who looked a little scared, and then said to Fu Junyu beside me: "Yu'er, go and talk to Zhenzhen and the others. I'll discuss some things with Master Chen and come back later." Chen Liangyu followed Chen Liangyu to a relatively secluded room. Judging from the surrounding environment, it should be his usual place of retreat. Chen Liangyu Reported to me: "Since Li Mi's defeat in Luoyang, the 'Six Saints Gang' has disappeared in Jiujiang. His subordinates have ordered people to inquire several times, but nothing has been found. It seems that the entire gang quietly evacuated overnight. Jiujiang. So my subordinates suspect that the inexplicable withdrawal of the "Six Saints Gang" from Jiujiang is a conspiracy? The "One Gang and Three Hui" in Jiujiang are now only the "Jiangcheng Hui" led by my subordinates and the "Jiangcheng Hui" who are in tit-for-tat with us. The "Long Sword Club" and some other small factions have emerged at the same time. The "Chang Jian Club" lost to us in the competition for several locations in Nancheng Commercial Street some time ago, and they have always held a grudge, so they used Lin Shihong. As an opportunity to celebrate my concubine's birthday, I proposed that all the gangs in the city organize a competition to entertain Lin Shihong and others. I guess Qiu Fengling, the leader of the 'Long Sword Club', wants to use this competition to suppress us. The morale of the 'Jiangcheng Hui' and other gangs." After listening to Chen Liangyu's report, I asked him: "Which concubine is Lin Shihong's?" Although Chen Liangyu was wondering why I cared about which concubine it was and not the other gang's. No matter how strong he was, he didn't dare to show any slightness on his face and replied: "She is a concubine that Lin Shihong took in a few months ago. Her name is Lan Qingsi. She is Lin Shihong's right-hand man and the second in command of Lin Shihong's army. The top spot was given to Lin Shihong by Ke Mingtong. It is said that this girl has a heavenly beauty, is proficient in serving, and has a gentle and considerate personality. She is very favored by Lin Shihong.???I nodded, already placing a question mark on the three words "Lan Qingsi" in my mind, and then continued to ask: "How is Qiu Fengling's skill? Are there other comparisons in the 'Long Sword Club'?" Famous masters? And what's the relationship between Qiu Fengling and Ke Mingtong?" Chen Liangyu replied with all his knowledge: "Qiu Fengling's skills and subordinates are comparable to those of Zhong Bo, although the overall strength of the Long Sword Club is not as good as those of Zhong Bo. Our Jiangcheng Club has several powerful characters. As for Qiu Fengling and Ke Mingtong, I haven¡¯t heard of any close contact.¡± The information reported by Chen Liangyu quickly swirled in my mind. Then he continued to ask Chen Liangyu: "Where is the venue for the competition tomorrow?" Chen Liangyu replied: "The venue for the competition is set up on the school field opposite the Jiujiang City Commandery Mansion. The street across the street is the most prosperous area of ??Jiujiang City, where all the famous romantic places in the city are concentrated. "I thought about it for a while, but I felt a little confused, but I couldn't find any flaws in it, so I picked up the desk. With the brush on the paper, he wrote the names and weights of several herbs on the paper, then handed it to Chen Liangyu's hand and said: "I just saw two young people with quite good qualifications in the martial arts field, but because they were among the weakest, Years of practice has greatly limited their achievements in martial arts. According to the herbs in this recipe, grab the portions of two people, prepare a wooden barrel and heat it until the water boils, then put the herbs into the barrel, and then Continue to boil for two hours and then cool down. After two hours, let the two people wait for me in the martial arts field. I will give them some instructions and help them cut off their hair and wash their marrow. " Chen Liangyu followed my instructions! Ordered and prepared carefully. I returned to the other courtyard. At this moment, Zhu Yuyan and Fu Junma also returned here. After seeing me come in, Wei Zhenzhen and Fu Junqiang, two little girls who had been separated from me for several days, threw themselves into my arms, but Dongfang Yanran and Nangong Qian were nowhere to be seen. After Wei Zhenzhen's explanation, I realized that it was now the time for the triennial assessment of "Tianya Hai Pavilion". The status of the two of them as the "Tian Ya Hai Pavilion"'s "Tian Zun" and "Hai Zun" was only mine. Under this lord. The daily operating affairs of "Tianya Hai Pavilion" are separated from the personnel assessment within the organization. The external affairs are mainly responsible for the four altar masters and the two elders Fengyun, while the internal assessment is carried out by the two deities and then submitted to the deity. The leader determines the praise and criticism of people above the helm, as well as when to add new sub-rudders, etc. I sighed in my heart that I am really incompetent as the Lord, and I don't even know about such a big thing as "assessment". She shook her head helplessly and then asked Zhu Yuyan beside her: "What did Yan'er and Wei'er find?" Fu Junma said angrily: "The person I was following actually jumped into In a brothel, and then I won't say it anymore." At this point, his face was already blushing. Zhu Yuyan and the other girls smiled sweetly, and then said to me: "I finally gained something. The one I was following was very cautious. He walked around the city and outside the city several times before sneaking into a remote house. I only heard him I called out "Young Master" and then lost any sound. It seems that I must have entered a secret room equipped with special soundproof equipment, so I didn't hear anything else of value. " I frowned and thought for a moment. He thought secretly: Could this person be Qiu Fengling's subordinate? However, the skill of the person he was following was obviously higher than that of Chen Liangyu. According to his own statement, this person's skill was definitely higher than Qiu Fengling. He was definitely not a subordinate of the "Long Sword Society", but the "Young Master" was who? After thinking about it, he shook his head. I'm afraid I might gain something by going there myself, and then said to Zhu Yuyan: "Yan'er will go with me later. As for nowhehe" Zhu Yuyan nodded obediently, But I saw me looking at them with squinting eyes. I immediately understood and a blush rose on my face
