Chapter 24: The Way of the Hegemon

Xu Dongzheng's prestige and Zhao Zhi's efficiency surprised me, and I only agreed to take over the matter of being the leader in the afternoon, and by the evening the sixteen chairs in the hall on the first floor of the house were already full of people, all of whom were not young, and they all looked at me with strange eyes when I went down.

I understand that after all, it is a gang in charge of more than 200,000 people, I have no merit and no qualifications, and a little-known person suddenly sat in the position of the leading boss, I believe that except for Xu Dongzheng, none of the following sixteen people are convinced.

Zhao Zhi helped Xu Dongzheng downstairs, sixteen people stood up in unison, in their eyes they could only see Xu Dongzheng, but they couldn't see me, this is the case today, I guess it will be like this in the future, and suddenly I regretted it a little, I may have thought about this matter too simply.

The handover ceremony of the Hongmen dragon head has been inherited for a long time, there are a total of four steps, and the underworld is all about faithfulness, and the ceremony is completed according to the rules, I am the new dragon head brother, but looking at the indifferent eyes of these sixteen people, I understand that this is just a ceremony after all, just going through the motions, and there is no binding force on them.

There is an altar in the hall, the first step is to open the altar ceremony presided over by Xu Dongzheng, the sixteen people present need to kneel, I sit in the middle of the position, watching them kneel down with a dissatisfied, I sit on pins and needles, and then I am incense alone, and then Zhao Zhi, the uncle of the torture hall, lifted the red-handled big knife, patted my chest and back with the back of the knife, and loudly preached the thirty-six oaths of Hongmen seventy-two cases.

The last step is to kill the phoenix, which is commonly said to be a blood alliance.

Zhao Zhi had just lifted a fierce rooster when suddenly someone stumbled in outside.

"Miss Yue and Mr. Xiao are gone!"

I suddenly got up from the chair and rushed outside without thinking about it, Zhao Zhi grabbed my arm and said seriously in my ear.

"It's just the last step, what are you going to do with this ritual now?"

"You can wait, you can't wait for another time." I shook off Zhao Zhi's hand and rushed out.

I ran back to their room, Chen Jie was actually there, Yue Qianling and Xiao Lianshan were pressed on the bed by several people, dying of pain, I didn't have time to ask Chen Jie where she had been in the past two days, rushed over to remove the people next to the bed, Yue Qianling and Xiao Lianshan were pale, their foreheads kept flowing with fine cold sweat, and their whole hair looked like they had just been washed.

I put my hands on their foreheads, it was hot, Yue Qianling was babbling nonsense that I didn't understand, her expression was full of resentment, and she desperately hit her head against the bed, if someone hadn't pressed her, her head would have broken and bleeding, my hand was pressed under her skin, there were many thin and sharp things piercing my hand, I lifted her sleeves and her body was full of undulating blood spots.

"They've hit the head." Chen Jie said with certainty.

Xiao Lianshan's situation is exactly the same as Yue Qianling's, I hurriedly found two pieces of paper, wrote the eight characters of Yue Qianling and Xiao Lianshan on it, and then asked Chen Jie to pick the peach branches, tie them into a cross shape, paste the eight characters of the two of them on it, wrap them into two figures with gauze, and then use soul substitution to collect their souls in the puppet, and use a needle to pierce the middle finger and draw five thunder shaking talismans on their foreheads, Yue Qianling and Xiao Lianshan gradually quieted down.

It's just that the two puppets I put on the table kept moving up and down, they were helping Yue Qianling and Xiao Lianshan to endure the torture of the head lowering technique, and soon there was blood slowly oozing out on the white gauze outside, I looked back and saw that Yue Qianling had more open wounds on her body, Xiao Lianshan's situation was the same, they only felt no pain now, but their bodies were still being destroyed by the head lowering technique.

Except for Rong Yi, I can't think of anyone else who will do this, it seems that Rong Yi must have cut the hair from Yue Qianling and Xiao Lianshan when he caught them, otherwise this head lowering technique would not be so powerful, I asked Chen Jie to help me take care of them, I decided to go to Rong Yi, and if I find him, I can find the head lowering master who casts the spell.

When I walked to the door, I was stopped by Zhao Zhi and said to me seriously.

"You are one step away from being the leader of the dragon, as long as you sit in this position, you just need to nod, I believe that the next time you see Rong Yi, it should be divided into several pieces and placed in front of you, why should you risk your life alone."

"It's useless, Rong also makes people lower their heads, if I don't break the law, they will die sooner or later, not to mention that even if I become the leader of the boss, do you think someone will really listen to me?" I looked at Zhao Zhi pleadingly. "If you really want to help, arrange a car for me, it's too late."

Zhao Zhi nodded boldly, signaling the person next to him to arrange a car for me, I was anxious in the car, if I guessed correctly, Yue Qianling and Xiao Lianshan should be a thousand knives, and when the time comes, a thousand knives will die through the heart, I was thinking about how to deal with it, the car braked sharply, I almost hit the windshield, and I looked up to see the person standing in front of the car.

Gentle and elegant, personable.

Alone in the west building without a word, the moon is like a hook.

Yan Xiyue!

He didn't mean to get out of the way before he blocked the car, I walked down in a distraught, I knew who he was, but what he was going to tell me had been said, as for what he didn't want to say, I didn't force him, but now I really don't have time to worry about him.

"What are you doing here?"

"How can I not come when you have a great joy." Yan Xiyue chuckled

"Big joy? My friend was beheaded, I rushed to save people, you get out of the way. ”

"That's why I'm here to congratulate you."

"......" I stared at Yan Xiyue in surprise, my voice was cold. They're my friends, but life and death, do you know what you're talking about? ”

"And do you know what you're doing?" Yan Xiyue asked calmly.

I frowned slightly, Yan Xiyue is not a simple person, I know that he will never say anything, I walked up to him and asked.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Please!" Yan Xiyue stretched out a hand, and next to it was a shade of trees. "In addition to congratulating you, I came today to prepare a gift for you."

"I don't have time!" I scolded him in an aggravated tone. "I have to save ......"

"You were able to save them this time, but what about later?" Yan Xiyue was calm and still stretched out her hand. "Even a small character like Rong Yi knows your weakness, he can threaten you, others can, and you can save them a few times, aren't you threatened enough?"

I was stunned again, Yan Xiyue was speechless with a few simple words, in fact, think about it, since Wei Zhan, I seem to have been compromising under duress, taking a deep breath and walking to the shade of the roadside.

"The first thing is to congratulate you on getting the Hongmen token, now more than 200,000 people in the underworld obey you, powerful and powerful, powerful and powerful, you have power in hand today, and you will get twice the result with half the effort in the future."

I smiled coldly, and waited for a long time to think that Yan Xiyue could say something, but it turned out to be this almost ridiculous congratulations.

"The second piece." I didn't bother to contradict him, and asked impatiently.

"The second thing is congratulations, Rong Yi gave your friend a head."

"You ......," I was furious and stared at Yan Xiyue coldly. Let me hear it from your mouth again, whoever you are, you are my enemy! ”

"A copper coin wants to order 200,000 people to obey orders, Xu Dongzheng is ridiculous, I believe you won't." Yan Xiyue replied with an unhurried smile. "If you want to convince these people, you have to stand upright, it is difficult to convince the public to go out of the nameless and indiscriminate killing and defeat, and now Rong is also sent to the door, do you say it is a happy event."

My brow furrowed a little and I glanced at him.

"Go on."

"If you single-handedly get rid of Rong Yi, you can not only stand up but also serve the public."

"What's so difficult to get rid of Rong, Lancang River has a big life, it doesn't mean that he is so lucky every time."

Yan Xiyue shook her head and said to me meaningfully.

"Rong Yi is a pawn, what's the use of you killing him, it depends on how you kill him!"

“…… What's the difference? ”

"Of course, not only do you want to kill him, but you also want others to know that you killed him, and more importantly." Yan Xiyue said in a serious and aggravated tone. "You also want others to know how you killed him."

I glanced at him and asked, puzzled.

"It seems that you have thought of all this for me, tell me, what should I do?"

"In the past, people slaughtered Baiqi, and the military orders for attacking the city were like mountains, one of them, where the besieged city did not descend for one day, killed all the old and weak, and killed all the women and children without surrendering for two days, and slaughtered the whole city on the day of breaking the city three days later, the princes of the six countries were frightened when they heard this person, and called it a killing god, and there were more than 400,000 people in the battle of Changping alone, and no one dared to resist the city besieged by Baiqi." Yan Xiyue walked up to me and looked directly at me and said. "You have the life of the emperor, but you don't have the spirit of the emperor, what you are bad is a bully, just like Bai Qi, no one dares to resist, because you know his means, if you want no one to dare to threaten and intimidate you in the future, you must let others know what the consequences of this are, so that these people shudder, naturally no one dares to shout in front of you, now the opportunity is sent to the door, Rong also hurts the two of you, you will kill him two hundred, what he used to do to you, you will return it to him a hundred, a thousand times."

The moment Yan Xiyue finished speaking, I felt an inexplicable excitement in my heart, as if I had been suppressed, and at this moment I was completely released by Yan Xiyue, and there was a kind of comfort beyond words.

"Don't you have a gift for me?" My head is used to holding high.

"The jade seal of the country is available?" Yan Xiyue asked.

I took out the jade seal of the country and held it in Yan Xiyue, he took it respectfully, flipped it over, and I looked at the eight words on it.

Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity

Yan Xiyue's finger pointed to the eight words, and her attitude became deep.

"This is the real you, there are two kinds of imperial arts: royal and domineering, you have always used domineering, as for the royal road...... You used to disdain it, and now you don't even need to pay attention to it, otherwise you don't deserve these eight words. ”

I took a deep breath slowly, my eyes fell on the font of the seal script, and I admitted that Yan Xiyue was moved by my heart.

"I have seen Shangguan Wan'er, a talented woman who specializes in beauty and weighs the world in the two dynasties, and her eloquence is decisive and decisive." I put away the national seal and said to Yan Xiyue lightly. "But compared to you, she is inevitably too worthless, even the Bai Qi you just mentioned, he is a general, it is understandable to kill soldiers on the battlefield, called human slaughter, but the little soul in his hand is probably not as much as in your hand."

Yan Xiyue smiled and said nothing, stepped aside to make way out of the way, I got into the car and didn't look at him again, and when I sat in the car, I didn't have the hesitation and panic I had just now, because I already knew what to do.
