Shudi, it was a stormy night.

On this night, the Lu family, the former Tianzi family of Shudi, the Gao family, which is now in the limelight in Shudi, and the Elder Brotherhood, the largest force that has been secretly developing for hundreds of years and only came to light at the end of the last century, are mobilizing all their connections to check the information of a mysterious organization.

Even the intelligence network of the military region and the Skynet system of the public security are secretly adding fuel to the fire.

A small number of bigwigs from all walks of life who knew that this night was not peaceful, but they didn't know the specific reason, were shocked and secretly speculated that what force stabbed the largest hornet's nest in the entire Shu region, provoking these behemoths who each held the authority of Shu to pour out?

For a time, all kinds of speculations emerged in the circle of the upper elites of Shu.

Some people think that the big guy came from the imperial capital and wanted to put his hand into the cake plate of Shudi, which forced several giants to join forces with the enemy.

There are also people who think that they are investigating some mysterious organization, but it's just a cover, and this matter shows that the top bigwigs in Shu are making their stand to them, and taking the opportunity to let all the three religions and nine streams in Shu understand that those bigwigs are now putting down their past prejudices and putting on a pair of pants.

After all, in history, great enmity is greater than profit, and this is a truth that anyone with a little brain will not refute.

And what kind of situation can make a few big men who dominate one side maximize their interests? That is, of course, joining forces.

The bigwigs joined forces, squeezing oil and water from other middle and upper reaches with slightly inferior physiques, while giving small favors to the downstream, earning enough reputation on the surface, and when a small number of downstream fattening into the middle and upper reaches of the physique, they can slaughter again.

Such an endless method of raising pigs has always been the most common method used by the real hidden bigwigs, and it is also an unfavorable practice in the business world since ancient times.

The second guess is also the most convincing, and many of the unfounded bigwigs in Shu are convinced of this.

As for the other messy and whimsical speculations, there are as many as carp crossing the river, so it's okay not to mention it.

However, no matter how popular these speculations were, they didn't affect the next morning, a piece of information was placed in front of Liu Huaidong and Lu Haiming.

In this information, it is mainly based on a map of Shudi, which is marked with several marks of different sizes, as well as small characters of different lengths.

Those marked red dots are exactly where the mysterious organization called 'Daoji' is located in the major branches of Shudi.

In a quiet tea room in the health base, Liu Huaidong and Lu Haiming each held a document and looked at it carefully, while Lu Haitao and Lin Hua, as well as Duan Yunfei and others were leisurely sipping tea next to them, and they did not disturb the two.

After a while, Liu Huaidong put down the information and map in his hand, and squinted his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Lu Haiming also put down a pile of information collected by I don't know how many people stayed up all night last night, lit a cigarette and looked at Liu Huaidong, "Have you figured out how to do it?"

Liu Huaidong nodded, picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, "Counting the seven contemplation masters of the Lu family except for your brothers, they are divided into groups of three, me and your brothers are in a group, and the seven members of your Lu family are also divided into two trios, and the extra one is with Lao Wu and Lao Duan." ”

“

Because of this Daoji, there are still more branches in Shudi, so although it is safer for everyone to act together, it is destined to fall a lot in speed, which can give the other party enough time to retreat or wait for support. ”

After saying his thoughts, Liu Huaidong explained why he wanted to act in groups.

Seeing that everyone nodded thoughtfully, he continued to speak.

"The map is divided into four areas: east, west, north and south, each group is responsible for clearing an area, if any group encounters Tang Lingling and them, they will maintain a one-on-one combat plan, and find opportunities to send signals to others. ”

"Don't remember that against the three of them, the method of breaking them one by one will not work, don't think that the three of them will join forces to attack one of them, only to contain the three of them separately, so that they have no time to use the battle formation, and then drag people to wait for support, is the most foolproof. ”

After saying his plan, Liu Huaidong swept his gaze over everyone present, including the seven family elites temporarily transferred by the Lu family, and everyone nodded silently to him.

At this time, Wang Heng frowned and jumped out and asked with a dissatisfied face: "What about me? What am I doing?"

Liu Huaidong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and after smiling a little embarrassedly, his eyes showed a little apology, "Don't mix it up this time, the three products in the concentration may not be able to have good fruits to eat, and Brother Hua has to point to you to help him carry the girder of the elders' association." ”

Hearing this, Wang Heng immediately frowned, and full of unhappiness was written on his face.

But just as he was about to speak, before the words of complaint could pop out of his mouth, the back of his head was slapped by Wu Baoquan lightly.

"Stinky boy, don't know the severity, I know that your kid is always thinking about repaying your father's life-saving grace, and knowing that it is a good thing in our circle to repay your kindness, but if you can't weigh your own catties, then it's not a help but a blockage, you know?"

Regarding Lao Wu's words, Wang Heng has always been more obedient, after all, since he was brought back to the Elders' Association by Lin Hua, it has always been Wu Baoquan who has guided his cultivation and brought him into the door of another world.

Although the two have not performed the apprenticeship ceremony, but in accordance with the rules of the Elders' Association passed down from generation to generation, the last double-flower red stick will bring the next double-flower red stick, but strictly speaking, the relationship between Wu Baoquan and Wang Heng can be regarded as a teacher and a friend.

Sure enough, after Wu Baoquan spoke, although Wang Heng still had some unhappy expressions on his face, he finally snorted a few times and didn't continue to make trouble.

Liu Huaidong quietly walked to an angle that Wang Heng couldn't see, silently gave Wu Baoquan a thumbs up, and then then greeted, "Okay, then let's go as soon as possible, choose an area for each, memorize all the points marked on the map, and then raid the house one by one!"

At this point, more than a dozen contemplation masters who would be regarded as guests wherever they went outside set off from the Qingcheng Mountain Health Base, and then divided into four batches, each rushing out in different directions.

Five minutes ago, in the center of Deyang City, in a decent ecological science and technology industrial park, in a secret laboratory, three women were hurriedly packing up their belongings.

Their so-called belongings are actually stacks of paper test records and various hard disks that store experimental data, and they have nothing else.

And these three women, two of them are impressive

It was the mysterious woman who fought with Liu Huaidong in the unfinished building yesterday evening.

The other is undoubtedly the only orphan in the Tang Sect today, Lu Haiming has been thinking about Tang Lingling for more than 30 years.

When the three of them were methodically arranging various experimental data, the woman who was trapped in the third-order magic square by Liu Huaidong last night and took off her mask by herself suddenly spoke, "Eldest sister, are you okay?"

Tang Lingling, who was a little distracted, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly replied, "No...... It's okay, why do you ask?"

"It's nothing, it's just that you've been preoccupied since you came back last night......"

As soon as the woman in the middle of the line finished speaking, the old man with a beautiful mole on the corner of her mouth nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, I also found that the eldest sister seems to have been in a state of mind since last night, what's wrong, eldest sister?"

"Oh, maybe I've encountered some incomprehensible problems in my cultivation perception recently, it's nothing. ”

Tang Lingling's face flashed a little flustered for a moment, and then she hurriedly spoke, "Hurry up and clean up, it's mainly about the experimental data passed on by the Immortal Daoji, don't worry about anything else that is useless." ”

The other two women glanced at each other, made a helpless expression at each other, and sped up to sort out the information.

However, just as they were busy sorting out the information, Tang Lingling suddenly spoke again, "By the way, how did you join the Desperate Hall?"

"For as long as I can remember, I followed an old beggar on the street, and when I was eight years old, the old beggar fell ill and died, and then Mr. Jiang came to me and asked me if I wanted to be well fed and warm, I said yes, and then I was taken to join the Desperate Hall. ”

The woman who had been witnessed by Liu Huaidong didn't want to respond casually, and there seemed to be no emotion between her words.

The old man thought for a moment, sighed and then replied: "Me, my parents are both members of the Desperate Hall, but they died because of a hunting mission when I was very young, I don't have much impression of them, but from the moment I was born, I seem to be a member of the Desperate Hall." ”

After hearing the answers of the two, Tang Lingling couldn't help but look a little concerned.

At this time, the old man then asked, "By the way, eldest sister, why did you join the Desperate Hall?"

"Me...... I'm here to save someone. The corners of Tang Lingling's mouth flashed a little bitter smile, and she unconsciously remembered the chance encounter last night.

It was the face she had been thinking about for more than 30 years, and she couldn't imagine that she would be reunited with him in that way last night......

The old man who asked the question, and the second child who had fought with Liu Huaidong, all exchanged glances with each other, and at the same time showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Oh...... I know I know, it must be the man who has been thinking about you, big sister, right?"

"Hehe, eldest sister, you can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the Desperate Hall, which of our gang is not full of human lives on their hands? You are good, it is to save one person to become one of the nine jurors of the Desperate Hall, if this word spreads, don't laugh at other people's big teeth!"

Tang Lingling smiled when she heard this, she didn't care if others would mock her.

It's just that she herself can't help but feel happy when she thinks of the face she saw last night, which is still very familiar despite some vicissitudes.
