"Speaking of which, I'm chasing Chaolong to investigate the whereabouts of Hongshe Pearl. The reward offered by Dugu's family in the East China Sea, you also know that your senior brother and I have no other skills, but peeping... Hehehe..." Wan Hezi laughed wickedly .
Yan Kai sighed helplessly.
"Brother, are you sure you want to follow Chaolong all the time?"
"Of course! I'm the one who took over the reward list from the Dugu family...."
"What!? You actually accepted the reward list??!" Yan Kai was startled, and stood up with his eyes wide open.
Even Duan Rongrong next to her covered her mouth, obviously frightened.
"Are you crazy!? Wan Hezi!" Yan Kai couldn't help but also let out a low voice, out of breath. "Do you know what the consequences will be once the reward list is accepted?!"
"Eh... What are the consequences?" Wan Hezi stared at the two in a daze.
"Unable to finish, the body and soul are separated, and turned into the vicious soul fire fuel for the Dugu family to forge weapons!" Yan Kai was so angry that his chest was about to explode.
"Ah!???" Now Wan Hezi knew the trouble, and was completely dumbfounded. When he first revealed the list, he was proud of his speed.
The list released by the Dugu family has so many rewards that it is unheard of. The first time he saw it, he pounced on it at the fastest speed in his life, and then caught it.
At that time, he was still wondering why everyone around him looked at him strangely.
Now he finally understands... ..
"It's over..." Wan Hezi felt weak all over, his whole body was cold, and he had no strength left. "Ruined... .."
"You, you!" Yan Kai hated iron for being weak, pointing at his senior brother who didn't know what to say.
"Brother Rongrong.....this time is over...Senior brother...in this life...in this life, I haven't tasted the taste of a woman. Why don't you just dedicate yourself to Rongrong...." Muttered with gray eyes.
"I want to tell sister Bing Yuan!" Duan Rongrong got up immediately.
"Don't! Don't!!" Wan Hezi came back to his senses immediately, with a mournful face. "I was wrong. Is it okay to be wrong? Forget it, this is my own courting death... I will go to Dugu's house later, and see if I can find any turning point."
"What should we do now?" Duan Rongrong was annoyed and funny, she could see that Wan Hezi was just joking, trying to joke, but after knowing the truth, he was obviously lost. That's why she looked at Yan Kai.
She knew that Brother Yan Kai would never let her down.
Although Wan Hezi is always a lowly person, he has helped them and saved them more than once.
"For the present plan... first we need to find out what task the senior brother is taking on." Yan Kai said helplessly.
The sedan chair was slowly put down in front of the gate of the tea gang.
Ning San respectfully opened the car curtain, and the little umbrella girl jumped out first, stood aside holding the red umbrella, and looked back.
Lu Sheng slowly stepped out of the sedan chair, and looked at Dong Qi, the leader of the tea gang, who was waiting at the gate. There is also the commander of Fei Lian army on the side.
"Dong Qi has met the leader of the Lu gang." "Fei Lianjun Li Qiong has met the leader of the gang!" The two saluted one after another.
Lu Sheng nodded, Dong Qi met once before, and Li Qiong of Fei Lian Army was promoted because he was a member of the Fei Lian Army. The influence of the land is in.
Now in the northern part of the Song Dynasty, the Red Whale Gang is the dominant family, and behind them is the Shangyang family of the nine families in the Central Plains. Shangyang Jiuli broke through the palace master and stepped into the snake level. triple.
And as Shangyang Jiuli's general, Lu Sheng naturally rose with the tide, and his power became stronger and stronger.
"How's the situation? Is there any news about the missing elder?" Lu Sheng walked into the headquarters of the Tea Clan and asked as he walked.
"No...Elder Xu has no news so far. Foreign Minister Chen has received the news and is looking for it everywhere, but there is nothing.... The leader should wait for Foreign Minister Chen to arrive and ask carefully." Fei Lianjun Li Qiong replied in a low voice.
Lu Sheng walked slowly on the wooden corridor, looking sideways at the small rock garden beside the corridor.
There are still a few children chasing and playing in the small garden, the noise is quite loud, and they are looking here curiously.
"Ah... I'm a junior from the elders of the gang. I don't know how to be polite. I'm going on the horse..." Dong Qi was so scared that she was in a cold sweat. She had ordered everyone to leave before she came out and isolate the surroundings. There are still children here, what if they bump into Lu Sheng, who is now the leader of the sect. She knows this person's temper, which seems to be gentle, once he starts to fight, he will kill if he says he will kill.
"It's okay." Lu Sheng raised his hand, but he didn't mind at all.
"This is the second time for me to come to this small Qingcha town." He said calmly, showing no joy or anger.
"Yes, last time, the leader came to solve the Liulijing matter... It's been so long since I think about it." Dong Qi hurriedly said respectfully.
"Not long." Lu Sheng smiled, "Where's Zhao Jiaojiao?"
Li Qiong quickly replied: "Minister Zhao has already gone out to investigate the situation and has not returned yet."
"Oh?" Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows. "Interesting. Even Zhao Jiaojiao is trapped here. An elder, a foreign envoy, my Red Whale Gang unexpectedly trapped two people here... .."
Dong Qi and Ning San, Xu Chui and others around them didn't dare to speak out. Now Lu Sheng's power is getting stronger and stronger. Just a word or deed can put a lot of pressure on people, and there is no room for them not to be nervous.
"Report!"
A guard rushed in quickly.
"Chen Foreign Affairs Envoy is back, please see the leader!"
"Bring him here." Lu Sheng ordered.
Soon, a pale and haggard white-haired old man hurried in, and knelt down on one knee facing Lu Sheng, bowing his head and asking for guilt.
"Subordinate Chen Zongtao, pay homage to the guild leader! Please punish the guild leader!"
"Get up, what is your crime? Tell me the details." Lu Sheng said calmly.
In a low voice, Chen Zongtao began to slowly tell his experiences.
"On that day, my subordinates and Elder Xu of Xu Chuanzhou went into the deep mountains together to search for clues. Because we heard that Master Buxiao had been haunting the middle of the night, we kept searching for the middle of the night.
After looking for it, the subordinates suddenly heard Elder Xu yelling for help, so they rushed over. When they got to the place where the sound came from, they found nothing.
Not only Elder Xu, but also the group of people he was leading disappeared without a trace. "
"You mean, you didn't know or see from the beginning to the end, how did Elder Xu disappear? You just heard a roar?" Lu Sheng asked calmly.
"That's right... that's right!" Chen Zongtao lowered his head and said in panic.
Lu Sheng looked at him, but didn't make a sound.
Just looking at him like this for a long time, Chen Zongtao's vest was sweating more and more, almost soaking his vest.
Boom! !
All of a sudden, Chen Zongtao was kicked into the air and slammed into the pillar of the house, spurting out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
The rest of the people trembled in fright, Xu Chui and Ning San also had their eyelids twitch. Dong Qi closed her eyes and dared not look any further.
"Ask again." Lu Sheng calmly walked in front of Chen Zongtao, "Are you really only hearing the voice and not seeing Elder Xu?"
Chen Zongtao rolled to the ground, turned over and knelt up quickly, his mouth was covered with blood.
"Subordinate..Subordinate....."
"Answer me!!" Lu Sheng opened his eyes suddenly, his voice yelling.
Chen Zongtao was so frightened that he trembled all over, and finally couldn't hold on anymore.
"This subordinate has seen.... seen Elder Xu!!" His voice was even crying, and the old man in his seventies was crying like a child at this moment.
"Did you see Elder Xu's call for help?" Lu Sheng asked calmly.
"Yes... yes... my subordinates saw it... but at that time, my subordinates... were really scared... that stone house..." Chen Zongtao burst into tears and snot , "So many people, they were swallowed up in one go... not even a single one was left!!" He knelt down and crawled to Lu Sheng's feet.
"Clan leader, it's not that the subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death, but that there is really, really no chance of winning, and they are only going to die!! In order to protect the lives of the brothers!"
"Take it down and let the gang deal with it." Lu Sheng ordered lightly.
Several guards quickly stepped forward, pinching Chen Zongtao from both sides and dragging him down.
Chen Zongtao was trembling all over, he didn't dare to move, he was carried down by two people like mud.
No one interceded for him, and Lu Sheng dealt with him not because he would rather die than to save him, but because he didn't report what he knew.
This kind of important matter related to the life and death of comrades-in-arms in the gang is actually for self-interest, and the knowledge is not reported. According to the rules of the gang, he should be punished with double knives. Death is not a crime, but two stabs from both ribs were not serious injuries, and at least half of his life was lost.
"Let him say what he has to say, and then we'll go directly to see what's in this mountain that dares to touch people from my Red Whale Gang." Lu Sheng said calmly.
"Yes." Xu Chui stepped back slowly and rushed towards Chen Zongtao.
"Now let's talk about the legend that has been circulating in Qingcha Town recently." Lu Sheng looked at Dong Qi.
"It's not a legend." Dong Qi lowered her head and said respectfully, "Recently, some people from our tea gang disappeared in the middle of the night, obviously not in the mountains, but they still disappeared inexplicably, and many people disappeared at home.
There are rumors that there is a stone house deep in the mountains, in which the owner of Buxiao lived. Someone entered the house by mistake, awakened him, and made him leave the deep mountain.
The master who doesn't laugh has come to the town, and someone must tell a joke that can make him laugh out loud, otherwise he will continue to kill people everywhere. "
"A joke?" Lu Sheng was taken aback.
"Yes." Dong Qi nodded and said, "It is said that once you meet the master who doesn't laugh, you must tell a joke in a very short time to make him laugh before you pass the test, otherwise you will not see the sun the next day. "
Lu Sheng shook his head and smiled, and looked around.
"Do you believe it? There is such a legend?"
Ning San thought about it seriously.
"The subordinates believe that it is very likely to be true. Since the master has spread such rules and reputation, it means that someone must have survived under his hands, so this rumor spread."
"That makes sense." Lu Sheng nodded.
The rest of the people around also nodded in agreement.
