Chapter Seventy-One: Progress Suffers
Most well-informed gangs know that there is a bad star on East Street, who single-handedly overthrew the Iron Fist Gang and the Blackstone Gang, and now is sweeping East Street with a large group of elite gangs.
Many gangs that lacked their strength or wanted to avoid their edge left their strongholds one after another, brought their treasures, and hid them in pieces.
But there are also many big gangs, although they don't want to cause trouble, but they are not afraid of trouble, they gather gangs, distribute weapons, strengthen patrols, and are ready for war.
The atmosphere of the whole East Street is solemn, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and any wind and grass can cause a wave.
And Zhao Lei's team is getting bigger and bigger, there are many new members of other gangs, and there are some lawless strongmen, they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so they joined Zhao Lei's team and began to do things.
There are also some ruffians and hooligans, who followed behind Zhao Lei's team to pick up cheap, and took advantage of the fire to rob, and the entire East Street has become a pot of porridge.
And Zhao Lei, who was in the eye of the whole storm, took the people under his hands, along the street, one by one, until the first shop began, hung the banner of the Iron Fist Gang on his door, and put treasure and reward food at the door, and then Zhao Lei and they let go of this shop.
At the beginning of the fight, it was uncontrollable, and the businessmen were all concerned about harmony and wealth, and were unwilling to fight and kill, especially this kind of fighting and killing without profit.
The territory of the Blood Knife Gang has expanded rapidly, although the foundation is still unstable, but the banner of the gang has been planted, and one-third of the entire East Street has now belonged to Zhao Lei.
And Zhao Lei's fame is getting bigger and bigger, in just half a day, his name Blood Knife Zhao Lei has appeared on the cases of the big families such as the county order and Qian Li.
But Zhao Lei's name is more marked with words such as dangerous, uncontrollable, and must be eradicated.
In their eyes, Zhao Lei is a-stirring stick, fearing that the world will not be chaotic and wantonly destroying the order that he has worked so hard to maintain.
It wasn't until Zhao Lei avoided several big gangs and big families and divided half of the forces in East Street under his banner that someone finally couldn't sit still, even if they had the intention of offending Zhao Lei, they had to stop Zhao Lei's expansion.
Because Zhao Lei seriously affected their interests, although most of the ones he chose before were some small gangs and some places without oil and water, and he himself destroyed several medium-sized gangs, but then he had to find food from their bowls.
Except for a few pieces of Zhao Lei's territory sandwiched between other gangs and lonely forces, most of them are still connected.
At this time, Zhao Lei's sphere of influence was seriously saturated, and his subordinates were not enough.
It turns out that too much territory is also a problem, and he no longer has enough right-hand men to maintain these places.
Originally, Zhao Lei planned to occupy the entire East Street, but now it seems that he is too optimistic, and now trouble has begun to come to the door.
In the place occupied by the Blood Knife Gang, there were already some scattered members of other gangs who began to make trouble inside, wanting to regain their own territory and force Zhao Lei away.
In addition to taking them to solve a few hard stubbles at the beginning, Zhao Lei divided his younger brothers into several ways and started at the same time.
Although this efficiency is much faster, the disadvantages are also very big, not everyone is like Zhao Lei, who has high martial arts.
Except for Zhao Lei's journey, the progress of several other roads has slowed down.
Because several big gangs and families have intervened, they have sent some of the good men in their forces to stop Zhao Lei.
Although Zhao Lei cut off the heads of the good players they killed and hung them on the flagpole to form a deterrent.
At first, the effect was not bad, they were all weak and retreated, not wanting to offend Zhao Lei, but when they found that the more they retreated, the more Zhao Lei's side gained more and more inches, and the more they occupied, they stopped retreating.
Zhao Lei's hard knife had already cut on their flesh, and they had no choice but to unite and resist Zhao Lei together.
In the evening, several other roads sent henchmen to report the news, the content of which was to ask Zhao Lei for help, claiming that he had encountered stubborn resistance, especially the big leaders of one of the roads, who were all beheaded, and the whole group of people were killed and fled.
Zhao Lei looked at these letters, as well as the remnants of the defeated soldiers who fled back, he understood in his wailing and wailing that his steps had indeed taken a big step, and these were the warnings that those people gave him.
They are warning Zhao Lei, you have stepped on the line.
Especially when Zhao Lei and the others crossed the main street and stretched out their hands to the other side, the intensity of the fight directly increased by several grades.
Especially when Zhao Lei led his subordinates to kill Qian Ji Commercial Bank, he saw that those people were openly arranging bows and crossbows on the wall.
The other guards were also wearing shoulder armor and holding strong bows, waiting solemnly for Zhao Lei to send them to the door.
These equipment almost blinded Zhao Lei's eyes, do all the people in the court eat dry food, and secretly hiding strong crossbow armor is a major crime of disobedience that should be copied from one family according to the genealogy.
Zhao Lei didn't expect the majesty of the imperial court, it was already weak to this point in Pingyang City, with the Qian family's strength in money and food and well-equipped soldiers and horses, once the Zhao State was in chaos, this would be a prince.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhao Lei actually heard the sound of horses barking in the tall wall called the courtyard wall, these horses are equipped with well-equipped people, this is not cavalry or anything.
It is precisely because of such strength that Zhu Wei will unscrupulously slap up with a housekeeper of the Qian family, otherwise, with his official status in the imperial court, how could he be inferior to a subordinate.
And if it weren't for Zhu Wei's official status, the Qian family would not have cooperated with him, and the Qian family also needed partners on the table.
Zhao is still quite strong now, and his control over the core areas of the country is relatively strong, so the Qian family naturally does not dare to be upright and do disobedient things.
And people like Zhu Wei, who don't have any heels, are their first choice.
As for reporting the Qian family to the imperial court, just kidding, a family like the Zhao family in Zhao Guoguo who secretly hid prohibited weapons has gone to the sea, and if all of them were copied and beheaded, Zhao Guo would have been in chaos a long time ago.
Resting in the period of the old Zhao Wang, this is unimaginable, at that time, the imperial court's control over the entire Zhao State was very strong.
Now it's different, Zhao is at war with its neighbors, and it's already overwhelmed.
If Zhu Wei pierces the matter, the court will only think that he is causing trouble for himself and find more trouble.
Doing things like this is tantamount to drinking water to quench your thirst, but now Zhao Guo is on this road.
