Zhou Zhe listened to everything before and after, and there was not much difference from what was recorded in the internal security information, but the recent situation was that the previous head of the Xishan faction was not old and dead, but was killed by the bounty hunter. And this person is called Liu Fengjian.

"Alas, it's really going to be killed, Liu Fengjian. This man is indeed a good hand. Hua Zan, now that Tianyu Pavilion has become a big trend, what can you do?"

Moreover, Zhou Zhe doesn't want to fight the tiger and the eagle, whether it is the weapons and equipment manufacturing industry or the iron ore supply chain, he must control it, because this is one of the essences of a strong country in Zhou Zhe's mind.

Just imagine, who does Dasheng really want to fight with, weapons and equipment are all bought, and the benefits of fighting a war are finally conveyed to arms dealers, so what else is there to fight?

Hua Zan is naturally not stupid, he can take over the Xishan faction after his master dies, and he even bought the qualification to compete with Zhou Zhe in the gladiatorial arena, which can explain the problem, how can Zhou Zhe's words not be seen.

"If I can destroy Tianyu Pavilion and let my Xishan faction return to Xishan, my Xishan faction is willing to go to the soup for the Hou Ye, and I will not give up. Hua Zan knelt down again, but Zhou Zhe didn't help him, but was thinking, he was weighing the pros and cons.

It is very difficult to control Tianyu Pavilion and destroy Tianyu Pavilion, and it is not bad to cooperate with Tianyu Pavilion and directly hand over Hua Zan to give them a greeting gift. Because the Xishan faction now only has silver and inheritance left, at most it can only follow the path of various sects and play the trick of political speculation. Who called you with the name of the Western Mountain Sect but no mountain?

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye!" Hua Zan kowtowed, almost pleading, he had already appeared in the gladiatorial arena, Tianyu Pavilion naturally discovered him, if it wasn't for Zhou Zhe's promise, maybe in a few days, he would have died. Or escape and shrink into a corner. When the time comes, everyone will want to arrest him and give it to Tianyu Pavilion as a gift.

"Hey, it's a bit difficult to be the enemy of Tianyu Pavilion, but it's not impossible. Zhou Zhe's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, his eyes stayed on the snow in the courtyard, waiting for Hua Zan's answer, although he had already listed Tianyu Pavilion as a sect that must be won in his heart, but no one was a child, and he went directly to help the Xishan faction go to the soup and fire map? Without you, I will do the same thing as the Xishan faction, you are here, the difficulty is reduced, but this alone is not enough, you must maximize the benefits. It's my mercy to let the profits, but if you're sincere, then you'll have to be chopped off on the chopping board by everyone.

"Master Hou! Hua Zan took out a small cloth bag from his bosom and offered it with both hands. Zhou Zhe's eyes narrowed, hesitated, took the cloth bag, and opened it to take a look.

Two thumb-sized natural spirit stones and several thumb-sized artificial spirit stones are worth about three million. Three million, a declining sect has only three million, Zhou Zhe doesn't believe it. But he also understands that Hua Zan is already at the end of the road, and it is already very good to be able to give these.

The money is in place, it's time to do it. Zhou Zhe placed the cloth bag on the table and slowly spoke.

"You said that your master was killed by Liu Fengjian, is there any evidence?"

This question is equivalent to agreeing to help the Xishan faction, but what to do, Hua Zan can't figure it out, so he can only answer truthfully.

"There are several disciples of my Xishan Sect, and many garrisons in Linxi City have seen it. ”

Zhou Zhe smiled, there is a door, as long as there is a witness, Liu Fengjian can take it, and if Liu Fengjian takes it, the means of the internal guard can bite Tianyu Pavilion to death. But these alone are not enough, one sect hires killers to kill the head of another sect, at most catch a person in the tank, but it will startle the snake.

Liu Fengjian is just a small role, a bounty killer, Zhou Zhe also counted on Liu Fengjian to advance to the top 25 and help him kill some people in the group stage, but think about it, his strength is not bad, first do the work in the gladiatorial arena, and when he is almost done, he will take it and bite out of Tianyu Pavilion.

After calculating the time, it has been a month since the top 50 advanced to the top 25, and a few more games will be played in the group stage of the top 25, and in about 40 days, he must win Tianyu Pavilion in about 40 days. Otherwise, with Liu Feng's strength, he entered the top ten, and it would be very difficult to do it against him again. Because at that time, Liu Fengjian will be the top ten players with the title of knighthood by the emperor, which is equivalent to having a talisman.

"Wang Rui. Zhou Zhe called, and in a moment, Wang Rui and Liu Maosheng had already appeared under Zhou Zhe's eaves. Zhou Zhe got up and picked up Hua Zan and placed him on a chair. Go back and explain to Wang Rui.

"I know it's going to be the New Year, but there are some things that need to be done. As soon as these words came out, Wang Rui and Liu Maosheng were shocked, and Hua Zan was secretly happy in his heart, there was a door. Zhou Zhe told him in front of Hua Zan, I helped him with your business.

"But according to the orders of the Hou Ye!" Wang Rui and Liu Dabeard clasped their fists.

"The current situation is like this, the heavy snow is closing the road, and I don't have much time, you don't need to send a lot of people, fifty people, to Linxi City, find the garrison to practice, and find the person who killed the head of the Xishan faction by Liu Fengjian secretly, you don't need to bring it back, just sign and draw on the documents of the internal guard. Then, let out the news that Liu Fengjian was sent by Tianyu Pavilion, and you can come back. This can be taken by Yu Deshui. Zhou Zhe then turned to Hua Zan.

"Master Hua, please also bring a letter to your doorman, so that they can help protect the group training in Linxi City and the safety of Linxi City. ”

The last one is dispensable, but just in case, if Tianyu Pavilion really makes trouble to this point, Tianyu Pavilion will definitely fall, but he Zhou Zhe is afraid that he will also be responsible.

"Sent by Master Hou, I understand. "How can Hua Zan not understand, this is a vote for fame, whether it succeeds or not, his Xishan faction is at the forefront.

"What about us?" Wang Rui was eager to make meritorious contributions.

"Of course you have something. Zhou Zhe said. "Liu Maosheng, I'll go back and give you the credentials, go to Liu Taoren, take the good iron ore, take fifty people disguised as businessmen, and go to Tianyu Pavilion to do business. Zhou Zhe raised a finger, "First, investigate the terrain of Tianyu Pavilion, defense, and the sphere of influence that it actually controls. Second, investigate the current situation in Xishan, where the Xishan faction is stationed, including illegal deeds. ”

Tianyu Pavilion can drive away the Xishan faction, and now it is among the first-class sects, how strong is it to rely on the records of the internal guards many years ago, the best thing is to personally send someone to investigate. And this trip is extremely dangerous.

"Master Hou, promise to complete the task. Liu Maosheng straightened his body and clenched his fists to receive his life.

"Liu Dabeard, this is dangerous, bring the token of the internal guard, and it may be able to save your life at a critical moment. Zhou Zhe patted Liu Maosheng on the shoulder.

"Hou Ye rest assured. Liu Maosheng replied with a smile.

"Wang Rui, you have to stay here, first, if there is a situation where the fish dies and the net breaks, you have to mend the net. Saying this, Wang Rui understood that he had to be a backup knife.

Hua Zan saw that Zhou Zhe had already started to make a move, and he was relieved, his identity had been exposed, and Tianyu Pavilion could kill his master, so he could kill him. And the "careful" Zhou Zhe naturally understood, "Master Hua, I will be responsible for your safety." You can stay at the inn with peace of mind, and I will secretly send someone to protect you. ”

"Master Xie Hou's volume!" Hua Zan finally regained the calmness and calmness that a first-class sect disciple should have at this moment, and his gestures were no longer the appearance of Ai Ai.

Hua Zan left, leaving with the hope of the revival of the Xishan faction, and Zhou Zhe just sighed leisurely, if it wasn't for the money to buy horse bones, the front foot sent Hua Zan away, and the back foot he would notify Tianyu Pavilion. Because Tianyu Pavilion is not clean, his Xishan faction is also not clean, but fifty steps and a hundred steps, Hua Zan, a speculator, has succeeded half of his speculation this time.

The second person to visit, it was the honest man with a gun, Su Daosan, Zhou Zhe also received him, at first he originally thought that Su Daosan was just a loose cultivator with a family heritage, but when Su Daosan explained his family background, Zhou Zhe understood.

"Unexpectedly, you turned out to be the queen of the country. ”

"The ancestor made a mistake, was deprived of the title of family property, it is a blessing to be able to leave the bloodline, the ancestor relied on a spear and a peerless family to establish a family, I Su Daosan wants to re-step on the road of the ancestors, and ask the Hou Ye to be fulfilled. Su Daosan clenched his fists to the end, very sincerely.

"Oh, how do you want me to help you?" Zhou Zhe thought that Su Daosan wanted to recommend to the emperor through Zhou Zhe and ask for a step to enter the body, but Su Daosan, an honest man, saw it most clearly, "Master Hou, I, Su Daosan, only have brute strength, but I beg Lord Hou to take him in, and I am willing to be a disciple." ”

"Why is this?" Zhou Zhe pulled Su Daosan to sit down. "You were already famous in the gladiatorial arena that day, but why did you want to enter my door?" Zhou Zhe didn't think that his small temple could be more famous than the four major factions.

"Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, when I first arrived in the capital, I used to visit the old family, although they remembered the old feelings, and entertained them, but the contempt of the people was clearly revealed. ”

Su Daosan said that he was despised by his subordinates, and Zhou Zhe was noncommittal, because this honest man must have wanted to save those old faces. Under contempt, but he can be poor and untouchable, this person can be used.

Su Daosan continued: "I quit my old days and took my mother to look for work everywhere in the capital, but the businesses in the capital didn't believe me, a foreign spiritual cultivator. At this time, the coils we brought from our hometown had run out, and there were more people living in the inns in the capital, and the prices were also high, so my old mother and I had no choice but to live on the streets. One day, I was so hungry that I walked to the corner and ordered a bowl of noodles, ready to run away when I was done. Speaking of this, Qi Daosan actually blushed a little, just from this move, Zhou Zhe judged that this person is absolutely reliable.

It is rare for a person, hungry, to eat an overlord meal, and to be able to say it afterwards with a sense of guilt. Because many people agree that when society pushes you into a corner, there is no shame in committing crimes. And a bowl of noodles is nowhere near a crime.

"The proprietress is a young woman, I finished my noodles in three or two clicks, got up and ran, but I ran into the patrolling forbidden army. Qi Daosan looked at Zhou Zhe's expression and continued: "The forbidden army passed me through the hall, but I didn't expect it to be the commander of the forbidden army, Jiao Commander, who personally intervened. Commander Jiao is a good person, he led me to the noodle stall and helped me pay, and the father of the owner of the noodle stall also came, he and Commander Jiao knew each other, surnamed Wei. Oh, by the way, he said he was a soldier of the Hou Ye. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhe understood, Lao Wei, and Mu Laojiu stayed in the Tianshumen Nursing Home in the capital! Needless to say, the young woman in the stall must be Xiaowei.

"What happened later?" Zhou Zhe didn't expect this fate.

"Later, I learned that they can now open a noodle stall, and it is also the benevolence and righteousness of Hou Ye, and it is good for his subordinates. Commander Jiao gave me a hundred taels of silver and asked me to come to the commercial street to find Hou Ye, but there were too many courtyards in the commercial street, and I couldn't find it. And when the gladiatorial arena began, I wanted to try my luck in the gladiatorial arena. After the honest man finished speaking, he scratched his head, and Zhou Zhe didn't know how to describe it. Looking for someone to find it? There are forbidden troops everywhere, are they honest? Or are they stupid?

"Hahahaha!" Zhou Zhe smiled, "and then I found it? Why didn't you sell the arrow you took at that time? An arrow can be sold for 50,000 taels of silver." It's enough for your old mother to live a peaceful life. ”

"Tianyu doesn't take it, but suffers the blame, if I sell the arrow, I'm afraid I still won't be able to find the Hou Ye. And the money is not steady, and the mother is definitely unwilling. "Su Daosan is very sincere, of course, his luck is really good, otherwise it is estimated that he will have to go around several times to find Zhou Zhe.

It is not difficult for Zhou Zhe to see from his words that this is a filial son, and he is very principled, as long as such a person is cultivated for a while, he will be a usable and credible person, Jiao Dajun's eyes are too poisonous, and he gave people to Zhou Zhe as soon as possible. Zhou Zhe could guess that Jiao Dajun must have talked a lot with Lao Wei before he managed to keep this Qi Daosan's heart.

"Your ability is a bit condescending when I am a disciple, but I accept it, for the sake of your old mother. The old man can educate you to be such an outstanding and outstanding person of character, and you should not suffer those things anymore. Zhou Zhe then said, "Take the old mother from the inn! My yard is big enough, you live next door to Wang Rui, and learn the rules of the military from him first." ”

Su Daosan got what he wanted, the old mother had a place to live, and he was completely relieved.

Zhou Zhe looked at the back of Su Daosan's departure and sighed a lot, it is really not easy to maintain a pure heart in such a chaotic Kyushu, and it is even more precious.

Sent Su Daosan away, Zhou Zhe was already looking forward to Zhan Qili's arrival, this person who claimed to be the Shandong Dao Ma Gang, of course, he had to find a colleague from Shandong Dao, Ma Dabao.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhan Qili to arrive, and she was not alone, but with a group of more than a dozen people, all of them were gangsters, and Duan Xiangsi's kid had a fight.

"Zhan Qili. Zhou Zhe stood up with a smile like a spring breeze, and then pointed to the chair next to him, "I remember you, come, please!"

But Zhan Qili didn't sit down, but directly led a dozen people behind her to kneel in the snow. Zhou Zhe expected that Zhan Qili would definitely come to him, because she had already explained the problem when she reported herself to her home in the gladiatorial arena, and now this scene, he didn't expect it.

"Master Hou, but I beg to accept my brother Ma Gang and give me a way to live. Zhan Qili raised her hands and eyebrows, very sincere.

Zhou Zhe and Ma Dabao glanced at each other, the life of the caravan was not good, Ma Dabao knew, Zhou Zhe also knew, there were sects everywhere in the sphere of influence, the business of the caravan was a dart bureau for transporting goods, and it was better to go all the way and the money than to see the ghost, the transportation was inconvenient, the trade route was not passable, the trade route was not passable, and it was called the ghost if it was rich and developed, and the caravan was naturally getting more and more sad, because of Shandong Road, even a horse bandit family like Ma Dabao had fled, how could there be a good life?

"How do you say this?" Zhou Zhe remained silent.

"Originally, we made a living by transporting goods, but from time to time there were powerful bandits blocking the trade routes, and this situation had happened before, but it could be sent away with some silver, and seeing the banner of my Shandong horse gang, the green forests could also give face. Zhan Qili has been bowing her head and remaining respectful, "In the past six months, a group of robbers have come, and they are strong and never give them a way to live." We have nearly 100 brothers in their hands. Our Shandong Mabang has more than 1,000 people waiting for rice to be cooked, plus more than 5,000 family members, and now the trade route is cut off, which is equivalent to cutting off vitality. ”

Zhan Qili then took out the paper from her arms, as well as a letter.
