Chapter Forty-Eight: The July Spark That Stirred Up

Zhou Jiyu nodded, and along the corridor under the black tiled eaves, he trotted to find Li Xi while swinging his small feet, and he had never practiced martial arts, so he tightened his not very thin coat while running.

An autumn rain and a cold one, what he said is true.

I don't know why, Zhou Jiyu always feels that this winter must be exceptionally cold.

Looking up at the inky clouds that were beginning to converge again, he quickened his pace.

……

Li Xi was tall and thin, and he was dressed simply, he wore a wide gray cloth coat all day long, and then held an ordinary sword in his arms.

He has never been like the other members of the Blue Dragon Gang, and his expression is always cold and cold, so that everyone can't see Li Xi's expression of joy, anger and sorrow, and they all think that he seems to be suffering from facial paralysis.

What's more, Li Xi was famous for his ruthlessness when he was under Chen Binli before, so when he first came to Chu Xiu's command before, everyone had a certain sense of distance and fear of him.

Of course, this sense of distance is not only because of Li Xi's character, but also because of Li Xi's strength.

When he was under Chen Binli, Li Xi was already quite famous, but some of them were well-known.

It is said that people who have seen him shoot think that this guy seems to have violent tendencies, one person has a sword, but whenever he does it, the person on the other side is either dead or disabled, even the disciples of the same gang in the Qinglong Gang, they don't dare to fight with him.

It stands to reason that such a bad impression is difficult to reverse, but since Li Xi followed Chu Xiu to the Changxingfang gambling house this time to assassinate Guan Yu, the leader of the White Tiger Gang who sheltered and killed Wang Qian'er, the senses of the Qinglong Gang began to gradually get a lot better, and this incident made everyone start to think that this person was just cold-hearted and warm-hearted, expressionless and sick, don't blame him, some cruelty can be reluctantly accepted, who called him a person who avenges his brother unambiguously?

Even if Li Xi obviously said in front of the public that he thought it was funny, he followed Chu Xiu to assassinate Guan Yu purely for the sake of fighting and looking for excitement, so what? This is a duplicitous man, a dead duck with a hard mouth!

So, in the Qinglong Gang station, under the same roof, everyone began to take the initiative to greet Li Xi after seeing him again, and their tones were also gentle and polite, looking at the Qinglong Gang gang members who were all amiable and smiling, Li Xi didn't know why he felt strange and uncomfortable.

He used to be a loner, and he was used to getting along with people with a blank face and a cold way, but now someone has come out to release kindness to him, and he is really not used to it all of a sudden, not to mention that your underworld gang that collects protection money shouldn't be all evil? Why be so friendly?

No, when Zhou Jiyu came to the back hall of the Qinglong Gang's station, he happened to see a familiar gray-robed man with a paralyzed face, a tall and thin body, and a man holding a sword in his arms surrounded by a group of young people with adoring faces.

This gray-robed man was just about to go to the newly arranged martial arts training ground in the backyard to practice his hands in the morning, when he was surrounded by a few newcomers who came to ask questions.

Most of the questions they asked were about Li Xi's feelings about the murder and the dangerous situation at the time of the assassination.

For example, what they are asking now:

"Brother Li Xi, can you tell us more carefully about the situation when you and Boss Chu were killing people at that time?"

"Brother Li Xi, I heard that Guan Yu is eight feet tall, with a green face and fangs, and a thousand-pound big knife dancing with a tiger and a tiger, how did you feel when you and Boss Chu fought him?"

"I heard that there were hundreds of people in the White Tiger Gang besieging it at that time, and all of them were killed by you and Boss Chu, and the trick was fatal, how did you do it?"

Li Xi looked at the constantly moving human head in front of him, splashing saliva, yellow and white teeth, listening to your questions one by one, his snort intensified, and a layer of cold sweat involuntarily broke out in the hand holding the cold hilt.

To tell the truth, if you ask him to kill with his hands, it is easy to get his hands up and down, and his head falls to the ground, cleanly, but if he is asked to communicate with these young gangsters who are full of interest...... Difficult!

I saw Li Xi's thick lips squirming, his thin Adam's apple moving up and down, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing this, Zhou Jiyu immediately ran over, with an old face, and scolded loudly: "What are you doing here?" I got up early in the morning and didn't go to fight to strengthen my body, practice martial arts, and put my mother aside, I want to know how people killed the big boss of the White Tiger Gang, the big leader of the White Tiger Gang is the big leader of the White Tiger Gang that you can die with your mouth? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Seeing Zhou Jiyu stepped forward to reprimand, several young gangsters hurriedly nodded and said, everyone knows that Zhou Jiyu can be said to be a celebrity in front of Chu Xiu, usually Chu Xiu doesn't care about trivial matters, big or small, this Zhou Jiyu is responsible, offended him, and he can't eat and walk around!

"I know, don't get out of here!"

Zhou Jiyu glared at the boss with a pair of dead fish eyes, and the group of people immediately dispersed.

After training these gangsters away, Zhou Jiyu turned to Li Xi and said, "Li Xi, the boss has something to discuss with you." ”

Li Xi wiped a handful of sweat and nodded at Zhou Jiyu, and there was a trace of gratitude in his eyes, which suddenly made Zhou Jiyu feel excited, and his heart should not be without medicine today, right?

After a while, in the single room at the entrance of the Changning Street station of the Qinglong Gang, which had already been renewed, Chu Xiu sat on a chair and drank tea, and Zhou Jiyu took Li Xi to push the door in.

"Boss."

"Boss Chu."

That voice of Boss Chu was shouted by Li Xi, which made Zhou Jiyu surprised for a while.

When he first met this guy, he was very arrogant, and even made it clear that he wouldn't listen to Chu Xiu's orders, so why did he call Boss Chu here now?

However, Zhou Jiyu didn't think much about it, his own boss is very clever, and it is not unusual to be able to convince this Li Xi.

"Sit down, don't stand, I came to discuss something with you."

Chu Xiu beckoned the two of them to sit down and asked, "What do you think of the group of people under me now?" ”

Li Xiyi didn't care about these things, and Zhou Jiyu probably had a lot of spare money recently, and he got into the habit of listening to books in the teahouse, learned a lot of idioms, and immediately gave a thumbs up, and said with a little bit of Wang Po selling melons and boasting: "Four words, the people's hearts are wanted, and the people's hearts are available!" ”

Looking at Zhou Jiyu, whose eyebrows were fluttering, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't use idioms indiscriminately, if these words are heard by the government and the people of the six doors, it will be a prison meal." ”

Zhou Jiyu was reprimanded, but he just smiled, touched the back of his head and said: "Anyway, eight or nine are not far from ten, that's what it means, boss, you are generous, our brothers take more money than the people in the battle hall."

And you can still fight hard with the big boss of the White Tiger Gang for your brother, and it makes those boys move to tears, even if you say a word now, it is not a problem to order them to attack Changxingfang, they dare to carry knives. ”

Chu Xiu tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Yes, the morale is indeed good, but it's not enough." ”

Zhou Jiyu was a little confused, in his opinion, Chu Xiu's subordinates were already good enough.

Like those subordinates of other small leaders, most of them are old fritters who have accumulated years, and they do some extortion, fights and brawls on weekdays.

And Chu Xiu's subordinates are all young people who dare to fight, and they have already been convinced by Chu Xiu, even if there are a few old people, they have slowly integrated into this atmosphere.

Now if Chu Xiu starts a war with others, he will be guaranteed that they will rush forward with a roar, this kind of momentum is only available in the Qinglong Gang, and it is estimated that it is only in the war hall with generous treatment.

Chu Xiu shook his head: "Originally, I thought it was not bad, but last time I went to the main hall, you also saw the disciples of the battle hall at the door, there are less than two hundred people under me, and the other party can solve them all with only ten people." ”

Zhou Jiyu was dumbfounded: "It's not so exaggerated, right?" Twenty people beat one of them, and they can't beat it? ”

He knew that the disciples of the Battle Hall were very strong, but he would never have imagined that they could be so strong.

Chu Xiu shook his head: "You haven't practiced martial arts, you can't feel the powerful qi and blood and awe-inspiring killing intent on their bodies, to put it mildly, I started those chicks who have never seen blood, and they are a scum compared to others." ”

Li Xi, who had been silent, also spoke at this time: "Boss Chu is right, those disciples in the battle hall are very strong, I can beat one with them, but I can't beat three." ”

Zhou Jiyu's eyes widened suddenly, he had never seen how strong the disciples of the battle hall were, but he knew how powerful Li Xi was.

This used to be the number one fighter under Chen Binli, and the number one outside gang who died under him alone was in the double digits.

And last time, Li Xi followed Chu Xiu to assassinate Guan Yu, and the two of them rushed out of the territory of the White Tiger Gang, and this strength can be imagined.

But even if it's Li Xi's strength, it's still no match for the three Zhantang disciples?

Li Xi said indifferently: "The disciples of the battle hall are all carefully selected by the Qinglong Gang, they are strong and strong, they have been cultivated since they were young, they eat beef and eggs at every meal, and they have five meals a day, and then soak their bodies with herbs at night to strengthen their qi and blood."

They don't have to inspect the territory every day, the only thing they have to do is to practice martial arts, and there is also the master of the battle hall, Cheng Chengcheng, who personally directs them, and sometimes the helper even goes down to teach in person.

But this is not a real Zhantang disciple, only those who kill more than ten people in the gang battle and do not die are eligible to become a real Zhantang disciple. ”

Zhou Jiyu said strangely: "How do you know so clearly." ”

"Because I wanted to join the War Hall in the first place, but in the end I was brushed off."

"With your brother's strength, can you be brushed down?"

Li Xi said in a calm voice: "At the beginning, my parents died, my uncle took away the family property, and I was abused for a year, and by the time I escaped and wanted to join the battle hall, I was already yellow and thin, and I was weak, of course I would be brushed down." ”

Zhou Jiyu also heard about Li Xi's family background for the first time, and he couldn't help asking: "Then what happened to the uncle who took your family property at the beginning?" ”

"Kill!"

Zhou Jiyu shrank his neck and secretly scolded himself for being cheap, he should have known that this was the result.

Chu Xiu knocked on the table: "Okay, stop gossiping, I came to you today to discuss a way to enhance the strength of my brothers, my people can't lose to the battle hall!" ”

"It's hard." Li Xi shook his head. Zhou Jiyu was unconvinced: "Isn't it just eating meat for a meal, what we have now is money, and how many meals of meat are missing?" When the time comes, the martial arts training ground in the backyard of the hall will be expanded, and the boss will teach them personally. ”

Li Xi sneered: "Martial arts can't be practiced in a day, if you practice like this, you can only practice fancy, not those masters in the battle hall who can fight dozens of them." ”

What else did Zhou Jiyu say, Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Li Xi is right, those people in the battle hall were cultivated by the Qinglong Gang for several years, and we want to be promoted to the point of the battle hall in a short time, and then use this method, it is impossible." ”

"Li Xi, have you ever learned the internal strength method?" Chu Xiu changed his words and suddenly asked.

"Never."

Li Xi subconsciously replied, at least the Qinglong Gang's internal strength method is a figure of Chen Binli's level, he is just Chen Binli's thug, how can he have the opportunity to learn the internal strength heart method, which is incomparably precious in Changning Mansion.

"Then if I give you an internal skill now, what level do you think your strength will improve?" Chu Xiu's hand rested on the table, and the fingers of the other hand tapped the edge of the table and asked.

"Ten times more!" Chu Xiu's voice had not completely finished shaking, and Li Xi's eyes, which had not looked very energetic, suddenly lit up, and suddenly became like a spark suddenly burning in July.

But the ball of fire was only for a moment, a flash, and his expression quickly dimmed, and he returned to his original state of stagnant water without waves.

In fact, the current strength of Li Xi has basically reached the apex of his own body, you must know that he has joined the Qinglong Gang for several years, and has been the number one thug under Chen Binli, the second son of the Qinglong Gang, and he has neither worry about food nor clothing all day long.

Internal strength has always been something he eagerly expects and cannot be hoped for, and Li Xi believes that as long as he cultivates internal strength, he will definitely not stop there.

Chu Xiu's opening just now suddenly aroused the desire in his heart-

Chu Xiu is so young and his martial arts are so high, he must have cultivated the inner strength and mental method!

In an instant, there was a thunderstorm in his mind, and his eyes suddenly lit up, but he quickly thought about it, how could such a precious thing as the internal strength and mental method be easily given away?

He just went to kill someone with Chu Xiu once, and he was not even as good as Zhou Jiyu and he were born in Xunxian County with him.

The mood calmed down, the flame in his eyes went out, and his face returned to expressionlessness.

At this time, I saw Chu Xiu's voice change, and suddenly asked, "Then do you know the new group of bandits in Beishan Dao?" ”
