In the corridor, Shen Lian, who had returned to the fourth floor, was walking towards the office.

Facing each other, he met Liang Qizhu and Bu Lingkong, who had just walked out of a certain room.

The two of them talked and laughed, and they were in a good mood.

These two are veteran elders, older than Bian Chanyu, and they are low-key and unassuming, and they are very popular in the gang, and they are left and right.

When Cao Youqing's ambition swelled, Gongsun Zhi and the other three elders saw the wind and took refuge in Cao Youqing, but Liang Qizhu and Bu Lingkong did not, they seemed to be more patient, calm, unmoving, and became neutrals.

In the change of Cao Youqing's downfall, Liang Qizhu and Bu Lingkong's patience finally paid off, not only was it not affected, but it was also rewarded by Man Boyu, and their status was improved.

"Elder Liang, Elder Bu. Shen Lian smiled warmly and greeted first.

Liang Bu and the others also saw Shen Lian almost at the same time, hurriedly walked over, arched their hands, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Elder Shen on his promotion." ”

There's a reason why they're so enthusiastic.

On that day, Shen Lian frustrated Cao Youqing with great might, and these two were also at the scene, from the beginning to the end, silent, staying out of the matter, no one helping, so neutral, it is tantamount to drawing a clear line.

Now that the overall situation has been decided, the infighting is gone, everyone is on the same floor, and it is necessary for both parties to have a good relationship.

"Relying on the trust of the helper, you have vigorously supported you. Shen Lian smiled humbly, and that day's arrogance was indispensable, judging two people.

"The younger generation has just arrived, and there are many things I don't understand, and I eagerly look forward to the two seniors to give me advice. ”

"Don't dare to be! You and I are at the same level, or it is better to have fellowship with the same generation. Liang Qizhu hurriedly waved his hand and laughed heartily, after all, after he had witnessed Shen Lian's arrogance and domineering, and seeing Shen Lian's humble posture now, anyone would have a feeling of great respect.

Bu Lingkong also said with a smile: "Elder Shen is young and promising, he is the fresh blood of this gang, there are many things to cooperate between us in the future, and it is also appropriate to help each other." ”

Shen Lian smiled.

There is no need to say much, the meaning is enough.

He was just about to lift his feet and leave, when he suddenly found that Bu Lingkong gave him a look.

"Oh?" Shen Lian squinted slightly, remained silent, and said with a smile, "You two are free, come and sit with me and have a cup of tea." ”

Bu Lingkong: "Thank you Elder Shen for the invitation, but unfortunately I still have a little urgent matter to deal with, and I will make an appointment next time." ”

Liang Qizhu also shook his head: "I still have a demon disaster there that is very disturbing, I'm sorry, I'll make an appointment next time, I'll have a treat." ”

"Well, I'll make an appointment when I'm free. Shen Lian didn't mind, he gave up, left, walked very slowly, and stopped around the corner.

After a while, Bu Lingkong and Liang Qizhu separated, walked over with pacing steps, and met Shen Lian again.

"Elder Bu seems to have something to say to me. Shen Lian smiled faintly.

Bu Lingkong's expression was solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "Elder Shen, there is something I want to tell you. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it!"

Bu Lingkong looked around and saw that no one was passing by, so he spoke: "Cao Youqing can have such an achievement, it is not his ability, but another master to assist him."

This person is extremely intelligent, ruthless, does everything, and has a strong sense of revenge, flaws must be reported, and he will never give up until he achieves his goal.

At present, this person has become a fish that has slipped through the net, like a poisonous snake lurking, waiting for an opportunity to move, extremely dangerous, please be careful!"

It was not clearly pointed out who the so-called "master" was, and when the step spirit was empty, he gave up his hand and left quickly.

"Master?" Shen Lian was shocked, his brows twisted into a pimple.

"Cao Youqing's wings have basically been cut off, if you say that the fish that slipped through the net, it seems that there is only his son, Cao Cheng!"

When he thought about this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

"That day, I provoked the four elders, and Cao Youqing was the first to jump out to fight back, which shows that he is impetuous, and his IQ and EQ are not outstanding. It's hard for such a person to become a big deal......"

"I've seen Cao Cheng, amazingly talented, and indeed a dangerous person......"

"Bu Lingkong is an old man, he has been in the Nukun Gang for many years, and his eyes are vicious, he should be very accurate in seeing people and things. Another possibility is ...... Bu Lingkong has received some rumors in recent days. ”

Shen Lian thought as he walked, and that pair of staring eyes flashed in his mind.

"Childe. ”

Unconsciously, Shen Lian arrived at the door, and Bai Ling stood at the door, greeting him.

"Li Xu and Wu Yanzong are here and waiting inside. ”

"Hmm. ”

Shen Lian nodded, entered the room, and sure enough, he saw Li and Wu.

The eight elders of the Nukun Gang each have about fifty resident Gu masters under their command, and their strength is uneven, there are bronze ranks, there are also a few silver ranks, and there are also a thousand martial artists, most of them are second-rate masters, and some are first-class masters.

Li Xu, Wu Yanzong, is the right and left hand of the previous elder, and during the vacancy of the elder, many affairs are in charge of the two of them.

Now, they have become Shen Lian's right and left hands.

But at this moment, the mood of the two is completely different, and they are both written on their faces.

Li Xu, a very easy-going person, cautious in doing things, doesn't seem to have any friends, and seems to get along well with everyone, at first glance it looks very inconspicuous, and even a little too ordinary.

Cold sweat broke out on Wu Yanzong's forehead.

This person was uneasy in his heart, feeling that he was unfortunate and unlucky.

Before, he was sure that the candidate to take over the elder seat must be Cao Cheng, so he hooked up with Cao Cheng early in the morning and became Cao Cheng's dogleg, and he also gave his sister to Cao Cheng as a concubine.

It turned out to be a bolt from the blue!

Wu Yanzong was so scared of being implicated, he couldn't sleep for a few days and nights, his eyes were black, and he was haggard.

The key is that Cao Chengcheng is his brother-in-law, a relative of the family, and he can't wash it if he wants to.

Wu Yanzong sat still, looked at Li Xu who was calmly dealing with him opposite, and couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.

You must know that at that time, everyone thought that Cao Cheng would be promoted, and they went to worship the dock, but Li Xu didn't go, and only did his own job.

It is rumored that Cao Cheng is very dissatisfied with Li Xu, and the first thing he did after taking office was to demote Li Xu.

But Li Xu is still the same.

Shen Lian walked in the door, and Wu Yanzong knew that the moment to decide his fate had finally arrived.

"My subordinates pay a visit to Elder Shen. Li and Wu hurriedly got up and saluted, respectful.

"Well, sit down. Shen Lian walked behind the desk and sat down.

Li and Wu waited for him to sit down before slowly sitting down.

Shen Lian smiled gently: "I heard that during the vacancy of the elders, the two of you worked tirelessly and conscientiously, solved many evil disasters, and made great contributions. ”

"Serve the helper, share the worries of the elders, and never give up!" Li Wu and the others were sincerely frightened, and hurriedly got up, bowed their heads and shouted.

"Don't be inhibited, sit down and talk. Shen Lian smiled. "I'm in charge of that territory, and what is the current situation, can any of you introduce me to one or two. ”

Li Wu and Wu glanced at each other.

Wu Yanzong was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he immediately lowered his head.

Seeing this, Li Xu coughed lightly and said loudly: "Back to Elder Shen's words, the overall situation in the jurisdiction is good, there are seven places where demon disasters have occurred, and they are being solved with all their might, and there are two places where demon disasters are suspected and are being investigated with bounties." But ......"

"It's okay to say something straight and say it wrong. "Shen Lian doesn't like people who are spitting.

Li Xu took a deep breath: "According to the law of the past, in the next one to two months, it will be the feeding cycle of the 'Wind Demon', and the Wind Demon will definitely come out to cause trouble." ”

"Wind Demon?!" Shen Lian's eyes were cold, and he became serious.

"This demon is very terrifying, good at resisting the wind, coming and going without a trace, a gust of wind blows, the living turn into white bones, and the flesh and blood do not exist, so everyone calls it the wind demon.

The Wind Demon comes out to eat once in nine years, and this year is exactly nine years since the last time the Wind Demon ate. ”

When Li Xu mentioned the wind demon, a trace of fear that could not be concealed flashed in the depths of his pupils, and his expression was solemn.

Shen Lian squinted and said, "No one can kill the wind demon?"

Li Xu nodded and sighed: "The wind demon has been a disaster for hundreds of years, and it has been besieged by a large number of people organized by us many times, but it has left a place of white bones arrogantly.

Later, no one dared to provoke the wind demon, so he let this demon be a disaster once in nine years, and only showed up afterwards to clean up the mess.

Every time the wind demon eats, it kills more than 300 people, and its appetite is getting bigger and bigger every time, so I'm afraid that this time the disaster will be even more serious than before. ”
