Although it was inconceivable that the wind arrived, in the hearts of the guards behind him, they did not think so, Long Ao, which was almost a crazy dream, on the contrary, these young warriors felt their blood boiling, life, should live like this, vigorously, even if it fails, but we have at least fought for it, and there will be no regrets when we are old.
"The Guards are willing to swear to follow Brother Ao and follow the Dragon Army!"
The black-clothed man standing beside Long Ao couldn't bear the blood in his heart, his face was red, and he half-knelt down and swore to Long Ao with shortness of breath, she was the current commander of the Guards, and his words could basically represent the hearts of more than 400 brothers in the Guards.
"Swear to follow Brother Ao to the death, never die!"
"Swear to follow Brother Ao to the death, never die!"
"Swear to follow Brother Ao to the death, never die!"
With the first person taking the lead, the guards behind him followed suit, and more than a dozen guards in the room knelt down and shouted at Long Ao, if they joined the Tianlong Club in the past to eat, then now they have faith, and they have a goal that they can fight for, after which the Guards become the second powerful force in the hands of Long Ao, in the future, the Guards followed Long Ao's birth and death and made great contributions, Long Ao has words; The guards are in hand, and I have them in the world!
"You see it now?" Long Ao helped the commander of the guards kneeling in front of him, looked at the stunned Feng Feng who was sitting on the side, and said.
"See," Ta Feng reacted and nodded, "I see, I used to doubt what can make you have such a great charm to gather so many people around you, and what allows you to control these proud soldiers, but now I know, Long Ao, compared to you, I am not a little worse!" ”
Prior to this, Ta Feng had an indescribable feeling about Long Ao, jealousy. Defy. Contempt, these three thoughts have always occupied his mind, why Long Ao was able to become the king of the three cities of Zhengzhou at a young age, why he had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, why he was able to have so much wealth, why couldn't he be, he had two shoulders and a head, why couldn't he be.
Seeing Long Ao and his personality charm today, Ta Feng finally knew why he was still a well-known gangster when he was nearly thirty years old, but Long Ao became a god of war who made millions of underworld personnel in Henan famous.
Long Ao turned around, and slowly raised one hand to "drag it down, kill,"
The two guards strode forward, lifted the wind from the ground like a chicken, and prepared to pull him out!
"Let go of me, I'll go myself!" Ta Feng broke free from the shackles of the two dragon soldiers behind him, tidied up his clothes, looked at Long Ao with his back to him, and after a while, his mouth grinned, and he smiled, "Long Ao, if there is a next life." I'll be your brother! ”
After saying that, Tale Feng laughed loudly, and then left the room in style, and soon there was a thud outside the door, and a dead soul passed away again.

The wheels of time roll forward, unconsciously, another year has passed, in this year's time, Henan underworld is surging and war-like, the newborn Tianlong will show his strong vitality, in the establishment of a year of time has annexed Zhengzhou, Xinxiang, Kaifeng, Luoyang four cities, for a time, the central and eastern parts of Henan all fell into the hands of Long Ao, soon after taking Luoyang, Luoyang underworld joint rebellion, and finally was flattened by Long Ao, led by two people, Scar was killed in the melee, Ta Feng was captured alive, Most or be killed by Long Ao.
Long Ao, who was attacked by the sneak attack, was furious, and on the second day after the rebellion was pacified, he drew 4,000 elite soldiers from the three cities of Zhengzhou, and launched a purge of the Luoyang underworld that night, countless gangsters and gang bosses were killed in the melee, and the boss who was once the leader of the Luoyang underworld led all the assets to flee abroad, and the Luoyang underworld group of dragons had no leader, and was swallowed up by Long Ao one after another.
The purge lasted for half a month, and in this half month, the gangsters who had been precipitated by the Luoyang underworld for many years were swept away by Long Ao one after another, and the bosses who used to be in Luoyang to the bottom of the wind and rain are now frightened birds, and they have fled with the money donated in this half of their lives, leaving only a mess.
After this half-month purge, the Tianlong Society completely occupied the Luoyang underworld and became the well-deserved king of the Luoyang underworld.
The matter is far from over at this time, the Tianlong Society has been full of turmoil in Henan in the past year, and finally aroused the hostility of the surrounding underworlds, and they once again formed a third anti-dragon alliance at the instigation of Liu Yuan, preparing to unite the entire Henan underworld to exterminate the Tianlong Society.
But at this time, the Tianlong Society has solved the worries, Luoyang fell into the hands of Long Ao, from then on the rear of the Dragon Club is stable and there is no need to worry about the situation of the backyard fire, Long Ao can deal with those frontal enemies wholeheartedly, on the other hand, after the establishment of the third anti-dragon alliance, the Tianlong Society immediately launched the deployment, and successively recruited the reserve dragon tendon into the army, the number of people exceeded 30,000 for a time, and from then on it was also the strongest time when the Tianlong Club was in Henan.
After half a year of fierce fighting, in the end, the Tianlong Society completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield, the battle of Zhumadian, Long Ao defeated the main force of the Anti-Dragon Alliance, seventeen bosses were killed, the Anti-Dragon Alliance collapsed, and the remnants fled to the nearby provinces, although the Tianlonghui won the victory, but it was also on the vitality and no longer had the extra strength to expedition outside the province, and could only take back all the territory left by the bosses of the Anti-Dragon Alliance,
In the second half of the last year, Long Ao has been busy collecting those messes in Henan, although the other bosses have been driven away by themselves, but they have left a bunch of messes, many of the fields have been occupied by those gangsters, and some are even small gangs composed of some students, these miscellaneous fish occupy a large number of fields, the Dragon Club was busy dealing with the Anti-Dragon Alliance before they let it go, this time the Dragon Club solved the Anti-Dragon Alliance and had a surplus of people, so they began to clean up these fields.
Tinglong can be said to be the busiest one, Tianlong will expand rapidly during this period of time, the field is more and more, but there is not much subsidy in the financial aspect, but there is a decline, these small places usually have no bills in the account, many places have to allocate money to catch them, Tinglong as the chief thinker of the Tianlong Club, and Wang Sheng have lost a lot of weight in the past six months, but fortunately, the efforts of the two people have finally paid off, at the beginning of this year, the income and expenditure of the field around the field have become proportional, There is finally a surplus in the treasury, and the two of them can take a breath, and the white side is starting to improve, and the black side is even more soaring.
After the failure of the third anti-dragon alliance, Long Ao divided the entire dragon army into three front armies, the first front army was led by Ma Junkai, east out of Zhengzhou, to recover the territory of eastern Henan, the second front army was led by the new general Wu Bing, north to Anyang, to recover the northern part of Henan, the third front army was led by Han Boguang, south to Zhumadian, to recover the southern part of Henan, the three front armies are like three arrows, all the way to attack the city, the war exploits, especially the second and third front armies are more like a competition, The Second Front Army led by Wu Bing attacked boldly in a battle, capturing four county towns in one night, and the Third Front Army was even more rapid compared with the Second Front Army, and the blitzkrieg was used vividly on them, and often the opponent was defeated before he could gather enough men.
Around January this year, the three sides were reported to have good news, the whole territory of Henan was recovered, at this time the Tianlong Society sat in the whole province of Henan, with more than 100,000 fields, and the total strength of the Dragon Army exceeded 70,000, if you count the number of reservists, it has surged to 160,000 people, even if it is the dialect of the entire north, the Tianlong Society is also one of the best.
The Celestial Dragon Society, at this time, has risen completely.

Zhengzhou Mingming Building,
"How long will it last?" Long Ao frowned, looking at the thunder dragon and Wang Sheng in front of him, although it is a good thing that the Tianlong Society will unify the whole province of Henan, but there are indeed countless problems that follow, and the biggest problem is the Tianlong Society, there is no money.
Wang Sheng lowered his head and carefully calculated for a while, "If we count the taxes paid by various venues, we can still delay it for half a year, but after half a year, if we don't have a lot of capital income, then we will not be able to make ends meet!" ”,
"How so?" Long Ao asked, placing his fingers crossed on the table. The Tianlong Club occupies more than 100,000 fields, and those fields are calculated according to the payment of 10,000 yuan per field, and the monthly income is an astronomical amount, but the Tianlong Club has no money, who believes it! He now wondered if someone had filled the money.
Looking at Thunder Dragon with suspicion, Thunder Dragon nodded with a heavy face, and explained, "Brother Ao, I know what you're thinking. Yes, those things are possible, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with the army,"
Tinglong snapped his fingers and soured, "In the past, we had more than 10,000 people, and when there was no war every month, the standard salary was more than 100 million, and at that time, our Tianlong Society had no extra money, and the main reason for holding on was that we had been pursuing a policy of feeding the war with war at that time, and the pressure on the treasury was very small, although there were occasional losses, but the brothers were still able to deal with it,"
"Since we defeated the axe to get a lot of gold, we have completely cleaned the yard in our hometown, and we have recovered a lot of money, plus the gold we barely passed the financial crisis at that time."
"But after the end of the Luoyang War, the Tianlong Society lived a life of fighting to support the war, especially after learning that the entire Henan had declared war on us, in order to cope with the changes in the major battlefields, we have recruited all the reserves and the second-line reserves, although the number of people has been sufficient, but the financial pressure has increased greatly, do you know? At that time, spending money was really like running water, and my brothers' medical expenses, pensions, disability expenses, etc., etc., were almost all spent on my eyes."
"Although the pressure is a little greater, but we still survived by fighting to feed the war, but after the end of the war in Henan, the article of raising the war by war will be invalidated, and we can only rely on ourselves at present, more than 70,000 dragon troops, nearly 100,000 reserves, the minimum salary every month is more than one billion, this is not counting the salaries of those centurions and grassroots officers, if you count them, you need at least 1.5 billion!"
In the end, even the thunderbolt dragon himself was taken aback, 1.5 billion my God, how much is that?
The more Long Ao thought about it, the more upset he became, and finally stood up and walked back and forth in the room, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and asked. What about the white rice and the gambling industry? These two are the fastest money in the underworld, why are these two tepid in recent times?"
The two glanced at each other, and finally Wang Sheng said, "It is indeed very suspicious recently, our white rice industry seems to have been taken by others, even if many old customers have lost interest in us, the gambling is not bad."
Long Ao frowned, puzzled, "What do you mean?" Why is the drug business plummeting, is it something we have done? "Long Ao has no reason not to worry about this matter, the Tianlong Society has expanded rapidly in recent times, and many of the standards for recruiting personnel have been lowered, and it is inevitable that there will be some guys who fish in troubled waters, if this is really the case, these things must definitely be grasped, otherwise it will cause indelible consequences.
Wang Sheng frowned, "This is impossible!" Because the drug side is all taken over by our old brothers, and those new brothers are not qualified to take care of this," Wang Sheng asked himself again, "But is this the problem, and what is the problem?" ”
Long Ao walked back and forth twice, and finally returned to his seat, and his eyes turned to see the thunder dragon sitting on the side, this kid hadn't spoken before, and he knew that if he looked down at his water cup, could he still see what flowers came out?
"Thunder Dragon, what are you thinking?"
Thunder Dragon was startled, raised his head to look at Long Ao, shook his head and said, "No, I'm just wondering if since it's not our problem, could it be something else." ”
"Anything else?" Long Ao's sword eyebrows hadn't stretched out since just now, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Tell me carefully!" ”
"Yes, our drugs are still very flawed unilaterally, the most important of which is the quality problem, we have been fighting since the beginning of our establishment, constantly fighting, fighting for our own survival, there is no time to pay attention to the quality of our white rice, and besides, we have implemented the policy of feeding the war with war, and the situation at that time was still very considerable for us The policy of feeding the war with war is still very considerable, so the problem of drug quality will not be fought."
"Now that Henan underworld has all fallen into our hands, the policy of fighting to feed the war has not had much effect, and has even become a drag on our hind legs, moreover, we have no stable supply of white rice until now, and the source of many white rice points is not pure, which means that the quality of these goods is very low, and the white rice is not even comparable to the color of the No. 3 goods, and the purity is only less than 50%, which is basically a waste!"
"I have privately checked, the purity of the high-quality drugs in our hands is only about 70 percent, and the other goods can be imagined, and our prices have always been high, even the price of the No. 3 goods is about 1,000, and the quality of the goods is as high as 3,000 to 5,000.
"In such a situation, once there is a supply of high-quality and preferential prices into Henan Province, then we will completely lose the market!" The thundering dragon spoke eloquently, and said what was in his heart.
Long Ao leaned back, lay on the chair, and said quietly, "You mean to say that there are unfamiliar sources of goods that are gradually squeezing our market?" ”
Thunder Dragon nodded, "That's the only explanation at the moment!" ”
