Zhou Honglin's voice outside the door.

made several people in the private room stunned.

And Lin Yue was still gulping, as if he hadn't heard Zhou Honglin's voice.

"Boss, Lord Zhou is here, and I don't know how he knew that you were out of customs, and we didn't inform him."

There was some confusion in Zhang Tianfu's tone.

Lin Yue nodded when he heard this, and didn't say whether to open the door and let Zhou Honglin in, but continued to eat and drink.

For a while, Zhang Tianfu and the four of them also couldn't understand what Lin Yue meant.

However, Lin Yue didn't open his mouth, and naturally no one dared to open the door.

After waiting for a few more moments.

Lin Yuecai raised his head and gestured to Zhang Tianfu.

Zhang Tianfu naturally immediately understood what Lin Yue meant, and hurriedly got up and opened the door of the private room.

"Lord Zhou, a rare guest?"

Looking at Zhou Honglin, who walked in with a smile on his face, Lin Yue said with a smile while eating.

"Yue Daoyou, you haven't shown up for nearly two months, it seems that you are either in retreat, or you are busy with something?"

Zhou Honglin looked at Lin Yue, came to the table, and asked with a smile.

Glancing at several of Zhou Honglin's subordinates standing outside the door of the private room, Lin Yuepi smiled at Zhou Honglin and said:

"I didn't expect that the owner of the building Zhou paid so much attention to my Yue, not only during my absence, but also took good care of my Tianlong Gang.

Even as soon as I got out of customs, you got the news. ”

Listening to Lin Yue's pun, Zhou Honglin smiled, pulled out a stool and sat down.

"Yue Daoyou, don't blame.

Now that there are too many monks pouring into this Yongxing City, there are a mixture of dragons and snakes, and I am also powerless and quite helpless. ”

Listening to what Zhou Honglin said, Lin Yue stopped what he was saying and looked up at him.

smiled.

He took the handkerchief that Keichi handed him and wiped his mouth.

Putting down the handkerchief, Lin Yue looked at Zhou Honglin quietly and did not speak.

For a while, the atmosphere in the private room became a little oppressive.

Zhou Honglin's face slowly dispersed the smile under Lin Yue's gaze.

"Master Zhou, if you return the shops that my Tianlong Gang lost now, we will still be friends."

"Yue Daoyou, did you misunderstand something?"

Zhou Honglin smiled again.

"Looks like I misunderstood."

Lin Yue nodded, a smile on his face.

Looking at Lin Yue's reaction, Zhou Honglin also showed a hearty smile:

"I came to Yue Daoyou today, in fact, I wanted to negotiate another deal with Yue Daoyou. I don't know if Yue Daoyou is interested? ”

"Buying and selling?"

"Yes."

Lin Yue looked at Zhou Honglin and didn't speak, and the smile on his face began to dissipate.

A moment later.

"Lord Zhou will listen to it first, if this deal is cost-effective, you can consider it."

"Because of this transaction, the confidentiality is relatively heavy.

So if you can't confirm it first, I can't say anything about the content of the sale for the time being, please forgive me.

But I can tell you about the reward first. ”

Zhou Honglin had a little apology on his face, and he was very sincere.

Nodding, Lin Yue picked up the fast child on the table again, glanced at Zhou Honglin, and said with a smile:

"Understand, the owner of the Zhou Mansion will not send it slowly.

Just out of the customs, very hungry. Forgive me for eating alone this time.

And now, a large part of my Tianlong Gang's property has been encroached upon by unknown small gangs, and it is almost too poor to open the pot, so please forgive me for not entertaining me. ”

Lin Yue's sudden eviction order was obviously a bit unexpected by Zhou Honglin, which made the smile on his face freeze suddenly.

Soon, though.

The smile on Zhou Honglin's face recovered, nodded, got up and said to Lin Yue:

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb Yue Daoyou to eat.

But you don't need to make a decision so quickly on this matter, after thinking about it carefully, if you are still interested, you can talk to me in detail. ”

Lin Yue nodded with a smile and said:

"Naturally, I will consider it carefully, and if necessary, I will visit my home.

Of course, I also hope, Master Zhou, that you can think about my previous proposal again. ”

When Zhou Honglin heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"I still say the same thing, Yue Daoyou, you misunderstood.

It seems that this time, you did not agree to this transaction, also because you still have a misunderstanding about me for the time being.

It's okay, Yue Daoyou has just come out of the customs, and he hasn't sorted out the relationship yet, so it's naturally normal.

Therefore, I also hope that Yue Daoyou, after you think about it carefully, you will give me an answer. ”

After speaking, Zhou Honglin didn't say anything more, nodded to Lin Yue, and then got up and left the private room.

Watching Zhou Honglin leave, Zhang Tianfu got up and closed the door of the private room.

Get back to your seat.

Looking at Lin Yue, Zhang Tianfu and the four of them didn't say anything.

The atmosphere in the private room is a little solemn.

Judging from the conversation between Zhou Honglin and Lin Yue just now, several people present naturally heard something.

It's just that they haven't figured it out yet, what kind of relationship is this?

"Boss, according to what you just said.

What do you mean is the siege that our Celestial Dragon Gang has been subjected to this time. The mastermind behind the scenes is Zhou Honglin, the owner of this Shunxin Building? ”

This time, it was Sun Yonghong who was the first to speak.

She thought about it, but she still couldn't figure out what was the basis for Lin Yue's judgment?

Zhang Tianfu, He Yuwen and Long Shili obviously didn't understand this problem.

At this time, when he heard Sun Yonghong ask, he also looked at Lin Yue with some doubts.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of the four of them, Lin Yue slowly spoke:

"Think about it, what did I do before my retreat?"

didn't explain immediately, Lin Yue just asked a simple question, and then asked them to use their brains to think.

He not only needs his subordinates, but also needs subordinates who can execute independently.

Otherwise.

What's the difference with being a babysitter?

Lin Yue wants to be the shopkeeper more, so for these subordinates who have been recruited with great difficulty, Lin Yue hopes to cultivate their thinking ability.

But overall, for the four of them, Lin Yue was still very satisfied.

This time, the Tianlong Gang was besieged by so many small gangs and small groups, and the four of them were able to hold a lot of industries, as well as those shopkeepers and guys, which is indeed very rare.

Of course, Lin Yue is most satisfied.

The few of them did not disturb their retreat because of this trivial matter.

You must know that his retreat this time was to solve Ah Hong's problems.

This last step.

What you want to solve is the spirit pattern in the Yuan Infant area, which may be a little different from before, if you are disturbed, you can't use the shadow silk to build the spirit pattern, and if you maintain it, you don't know what will happen.

Especially the appearance of Wen Daoqi, Lin Yue is a little scared when he thinks about it now.

Fortunately, the end result was not too bad.

The thoughts that flashed in Lin Yue's heart, Zhang Tianfu and the four of them were naturally unclear, and they were reminded by Lin Yue at this time.

That's when I reacted somewhat.

Before Lin Yue retreated, he went to help Zhou Honglin deal with those bandits.

Not only that, but the four of them also remembered Lin Yue's analysis.

"Boss, when you say that, I start to understand a little.

Therefore, these recent actions against our Tianlong Gang are all the means of Zhou Honglin, in order to lure out the boss? ”

Zhang Tianfu had an ugly look on his face.

"This guy, in order to hide his secret. Is that the idea of cooking rabbits and dead dogs, and hiding all the birds? ”

He Yuwen's face sank, and there was a chill in his tone.

Long Shili and Sun Yonghong also had the same ugly faces at this time, and at this time they also began to understand why Lin Yue was not interested in Zhou Honglin's transaction at all just now.

It's just that for a while, the four of them didn't think of any way to deal with it, after all, the power of Shunxinlou was huge.

Not to mention their little Tianlong Gang, even if it is the Thunder Sword Gate, they may not dare to move the Shunxin Building.

After thinking about this question.

Zhang Tianfu and the four of them were silent with ugly faces.

Lin Yue looked at the reactions of several of them, didn't say anything, just looked at Zhang Tianfu:

"You go and check, this city lord of Yongxing City, which elder of the Thunder Sword Sect is under it?"

"Understood!"

Zhang Tianfu nodded, and immediately turned around and walked out of the private room.

Looking at the back of Zhang Tianfu leaving, Lin Yue turned his gaze to He Yuwen, Long Shili and Sun Yonghong:

"Next, the three of you, just take a good look at the remaining assets in the gang now, you don't have to think too much about other issues."

"Yes! Top dog. ”

The three of them nodded in response.

…

…

Inside the study.

Lin Yue listened to Zhang Tianfu's report and nodded.

Looking at Lin Yue's contemplative appearance, Zhang Tianfu thought for a while and said to Lin Yue:

"Boss, now it seems that this Yixing should also be in the same nest as Zhou Honglin, after all, they are all from the Great Prince's faction.

I'll just say that the siege of our Tianlong Gang this time is so big, and the city guards who are maintaining law and order are actually like they are blind.

If not, Duan Yixing gave an order, I wouldn't believe it. ”

At this time, Zhang Tianfu's face was extremely gloomy.

Listening to what Zhang Tianfu said, Lin Yue nodded and said to him:

"This is inevitable, after all, Duan Yixing has been running Yongxing City for so many years. Zhou Honglin wants to make any moves, and he definitely can't hide it.

So there must have been some communication between the two of them, and Zhou Honglin's move this time must have been tacitly approved by Duan Yixing. ”

"Boss, what now? If Zhou Honglin makes any moves again because of your refusal, it is really impossible to prevent it. ”

Zhang Tianfu frowned deeply.

Now no matter how you look at this situation, it is a little troublesome, one is not good, and the foundation of Yongxing City is estimated to be unable to hold.

"Alright, I'll take care of the rest. Just keep doing what you have to do. ”

"Boss, don't you need to help?"

Zhang Tianfu was a little puzzled, and his face was a little complicated.

Originally, I wanted to help Lin Yue do something, but now I always have a feeling of powerlessness.

This made Zhang Tianfu feel very bad, he felt as if he had become a baby taken care of by Lin Yue.

"No need, the next thing is not for the power of the gang to interfere with."

"But boss, whether it's Zhou Honglin of this Shunxin Building, or Duan Yixing, the city lord of Yongxing City.

It's not easy to rely on your own strength to solve it.

They are surrounded by a lot of subordinates, not a lone casual cultivator. ”

These men of the Tianlong Gang are all treasures to Lin Yue.

To develop the Tianlong Gang, Lin Yue never wanted to be able to get help in terms of strength, but only to collect resources.

Since he had the Tianlong Gang, only Lin Yue himself knew how comfortable it was to cultivate.

Therefore, for the Tianlong Gang, Lin Yue naturally couldn't give up.

Let him go back to that kind of cultivation day, he has to do it himself, to collect all kinds of cultivation resources, Lin Yue can't stand it.

So...

Thinking of this, Lin Yue squinted slightly, waved his hand, and said to Zhang Tianfu:

"You don't have to worry too much about that. Manage the gang well, and help me keep an eye on the whereabouts of Zhou Honglin and Duan Yixing.

If you can do this well, it's enough, go down and arrange it. ”

Lin Yue said so, although Zhang Tianfu was still a little hesitant, but he could only salute Lin Yue and get up to leave.

Looking at the back of Zhang Tianfu leaving, Lin Yue pondered quietly.

Tuk, tuk, tuk...

The index finger unconsciously twitched on the desk.

A moment later.

Lin Yue retracted his thoughts, returned to his room, and meditated.

After nearly two months of squeezing, neither Lin Yue nor Ah Hong has recovered yet.

Even if there is any action to be done, it will be restored first.

…

…

Three days later.

in the room.

Lin Yue listened to Zhang Tianfu's report and nodded.

"Got it, you go down."

"Boss, this city lord Duan Yixing invited Zhou Honglin and those small gangs and small groups to a banquet, and it is obvious that he is already ready to make a move.

Give the order, there is no one in the gang who is afraid of death! ”

Lin Yue looked at Zhang Tianfu and smiled:

"Even if you're all on it, will it work?"

Zhang Tianfu's expression was a little complicated when he heard this, the strength of the Tianlong Gang, how many things he could withstand, he was naturally very clear in his heart.

His face changed, and in the end, Zhang Tianfu still saluted Lin Yue, and then retreated.

Looking at the figure of Zhang Tianfu leaving, Lin Yue slowly closed his eyes and continued to study.

After three days of recuperation, Lin Yue's state at this time finally recovered to its best.

Even Ah Hong has recovered a little...

…

Outside the door, in the yard.

"How? Did the boss order the war? ”

He Yuwen saw that Zhang Tianfu finally came out, and asked with a somewhat eager face.

He's suffocated for a while.

Now, Lin Yue is finally out of the customs, and he is already eager to try it and is ready to do a big job.

Long Shili on the side was also the same as He Yuwen, his eyes were a little eager.

Sun Yonghong, on the other hand, is more calm, but looking at her face, it is obvious that she is ready to do a big job.

Looking at their eager expressions, Zhang Tianfu secretly sighed in his heart and shook his head.

"Let's go, what should I do, boss, he has his own arrangements."

"What?! Could it be that at this time, does the boss really plan to put up with it? The city lord's actions are obviously already planning our Tianlong Gang. ”

Obviously, He Yuwen couldn't accept it, and even wanted to go into the room to ask Lin Yue.

But in the end, he still didn't have the guts, so he could only be ruthless at Zhang Tianfu.

Listening to He Yuwen's tone, Zhang Tianfu was already not in a very good mood, and he suddenly exploded.

"What strength do you have, you don't have any points in your heart? What about you? How can you help? Rush up to die?!

Since the boss has explained this, he must have the boss's own calculations.

The boss told us to manage the gang well, and he naturally took care of other things.

Isn't that obvious enough?!

The boss is now like a nurse, supporting us, and we are now okay in small things, and we can contribute a little.

But in big things, it can't help the boss at all! ”

As soon as Zhang Tianfu said this, He Yuwen immediately closed his mouth.

Sun Yonghong and Long Shili also have nothing to say.

Although their faces were a little ugly, and they didn't feel good in their hearts, they naturally knew that what Zhang Tianfu said was indeed the truth.

When it comes to facing opponents of the level of Hong Lin and Duan Yixing last week, their strength and power are not enough at all.

And, as it stands.

They were able to withstand Zhou Honglin's actions before, but it was also because they were just making a small fuss and didn't really do anything.

I guess I think about it, this is an early bargaining chip to negotiate with the boss?

After all, they are not stupid, and there is so much information for them to think about now.

This layer of possibility, the four of them naturally thought of it in unison.

After thinking of this, the four of them didn't have a very good taste in their hearts.

It's just that.

Even if so, what can be done?

The four of them glanced at each other, and finally had no choice but to leave the courtyard and return to their respective posts.

…

A few hours later.

Moonlight.

Breezy and cloudy.

…

Lin Yue opened his eyes from the bed.

At this time, both mentally and physically, he was back to his best condition.

The seventh power of the foundation building period was surging in his body.

Shadow One and Shadow Two pushed the door in, came to Lin Yue's side, nodded, turned into shadows and merged into Lin Yue's shadow, and re-transformed into the shadow servant mark.

…

A moment later.

A figure rose in the sky in the Lin Mansion.

The black-and-red robe makes it extremely difficult for this figure to be found under the moonlight.

…

Castle Lord's Mansion.

A dinner party is taking place.

Duan Yixing sat on the main seat, with a slight smile on his face, and drank the spirit wine.

Beside him, a shadow with an ugly face accompanied.

Below, dozens of gang leaders of small gangs and leaders of small groups were pushing cups and changing lamps, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Zhou Honglin sat on Duan Yixing's right side, with a smile on his face, and occasionally raised a glass with Duan Yixing.

…

We have just concluded a discussion and decided on the next direction of development.

At this time, everyone's hearts were extremely happy.

Duan Yixing was happy that so many small gangs and small groups were attached to his wing and became a tool for him to collect money.

Those small gangs and small groups are happy that they have the big backer of the city lord Duan Yixing, and the next development in Yongxing City will definitely be more smooth.

And Zhou Honglin's happiness is not necessarily the same as what he seems.

Even Duan Yixing didn't dare to say that he could understand Zhou Honglin's thoughts.

But this kind of thing, he didn't bother to think too much, to think too much.

Together, it's just two benefits.

I don't know how long the cooperation between them will last.

If there is a benefit, you can fish for as long as you can, and then you can catch it if you don't have to fish, it's that simple.

…

Over the Castle Lord's Mansion.

Lin Yue's red and black robe moved with the wind, and two points of pitch black separated from the robe and turned into shadow one and shadow two.

Below, inside the city lord's mansion.

Two pitch-black shadows lurked in the shadows and swam around, constantly silently harvesting life.

Feeling the warm current and memory fragments brought by the ability of the shadow clone, Lin Yue's face was ruthless.

While pouring the memory fragments towards the shadow one, he sensed the strange aura that was converging towards him.

Lin Yue could vaguely feel that with the convergence of these strange aura, there was something in it.

These city guards, the strongest captain is only the first and second in the foundation building period, and under the assassination of the shadow clones, they are all solved in an instant, and it is difficult to even make a little extra sound.

Not to mention those, there were only ordinary city guard members of the eighth and ninth levels of the Qi Refining Period.

The movements of the two doppelgangers quickly stopped, but it took less than two quarters of an hour.

At this time, the entire City Lord's Mansion, except for the guest hall where the dinner was held, was already deadly silent.

Several city guard squads stationed in the City Lord's Mansion have been solved by Lin Yue's shadow clone.

The seventh strength of the foundation building period.

Now Lin Yue is no longer the ant he was when he first came to this world.

Now that the surroundings had been cleaned up, Lin Yue naturally went directly down into the sky and headed towards the noisy guest hall.

…

At this time, the atmosphere in the guest hall was still lively, and no one was aware of what was happening outside.

No way.

Lin Yue's shadow ability originally had no breath fluctuations, not to mention that in the shadows of this night, Lin Yue's strength could still be greatly increased.

It can be said that Lin Yue, who has the ability of shadows, was born to be the king in the shadows.

Not to mention assassination, even if it is a head-on fight of one or two levels, the ninth level of the foundation building period is not a big deal.

What's more, these little minions?

Therefore, when Lin Yue took Shadow One and Shadow Two and stepped into the door of the guest hall, many people hadn't even noticed Lin Yue's arrival.

Of course, this does not include Duan Yixing and Zhou Honglin.

And the one who was one step behind the two of them was the female monk beside Duan Yixing.

At this time, she looked at Lin Yue and frowned slightly.

She always felt as if she had seen him somewhere.

"Yue Daoyou? Originally, I was thinking about whether I should invite you to come with me.

But when I think of it, you don't like it very much, and this kind of polite banquet will naturally break this thought.

But now it seems that I was wrong.

This time it's my fault, my fault, that I let you come uninvited.

Come, the banquet has just begun, sit down, have a drink together, and get to know everyone. ”

The first to speak was naturally Zhou Honglin.

At this time, he stood up and invited Lin Yue with a smile on his face.

That's what it looks like.

It's like seeing an old friend for years.
