Back at Yang's house, Wu Qingtao deliberately found Yang Chang, said hello to Yang Chang, and told him.

"What? The eldest sister arranged a place for you to live? How long have you been here, and you have been valued by the eldest sister, and even I don't have this kind of treatment. Yang Chang looked at Wu Qingtao with envy, leaned into Wu Qingtao's ear with a cheap smile, and whispered: "You kid, shouldn't you take down the eldest sister too." ”

"What are you talking nonsense?" Wu Qingtao hammered Yang Chang with a smile and said, "Brother Chang, you also have to work hard to cultivate and strive to become an inner disciple as soon as possible." ”

"Hahaha, it must be, when the time comes, you and my brothers will join forces and fight the country together!" Yang Chang hugged Wu Qingtao's shoulders and laughed, sending Wu Qingtao out of the Yang family's mansion, and watching Wu Qingtao get on the horse and go to the Nine Swords Sect.

I didn't expect that I would call Wu Qingtao a brother in order to recruit him, but I didn't expect that Wu Qingtao would be about to emerge so soon.

And the government's side...

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong!"

In a clean and elegant garden in the backyard of the official mansion of Feilai Island, flowers are dotted with flowers, beckoning bees and butterflies to stay on the petals. There is also a fountain gushing out from the top of the rockery that is more than one zhang high in the middle, and the gurgling water flows down the stone cracks on the rockery and flows into the pool, and all kinds of fish swim happily in the water.

An old man sat on a stone bench under a tree, holding a chess piece in his hand, and was undecided, while the middle-aged man playing chess with the old man kept urging the old man.

"What's the matter so flustered? Don't you see that I'm playing chess?" That old man is the city lord of Drunken Immortal City, Liu Chengshou, who has been fighting with the Nine Swords Sect for many years, but has always been standing.

"My lord, there is news from Penglai Island that the Dragon Elephant Battleship has been robbed by pirates. The man ran all the way and said breathlessly.

"Okay, got it, you go down first. Liu Chengshou waved his hand impatiently, and then the chess pieces fell on the chessboard: "It's done! ”

Liu Cheng frowned and smiled, as if he didn't hear what the subordinate had just said.

"Alas, this trick was learned by my nephew from the dragon chess master Zhang Changling a few days ago, but I didn't expect my uncle to be a chess master, and my nephew admired it!" said the middle-aged man.

"Hahaha, it's a good move, but it's a pity that you're in a hurry, nephew, and you haven't kept up with the pace behind. Liu Chengshou stroked a handful of white flowers and said proudly.

"It's my nephew's negligence, but uncle, your dragon slayer knife is well borrowed, and if you change your nephew, you can't think of this trick even if you break your head. The middle-aged man said.

"Wonderful? I can only blame you for being too greedy, stretching out your head by yourself, who can blame you for dying?" Liu Chengshou said.

"Uncle, you and my father are world friends, and it's not appropriate for you to drag your nephew into the water. The middle-aged man spoke.

Liu Chengshou laughed, disrupted the chessboard, and said: "Your Penglai Island family has a big business, what is this loss, don't you want to get a piece of the pie? Eat these, it's not enough for you to lose? Besides, my uncle is old now, it's better than back then, in a few years, this Feilai Island should change hands." If my uncle doesn't do this, sooner or later everyone will be eaten by this yellow dragon, and there will be no good end. ”

"If we lose the Dragon Elephant Warship, the imperial court will definitely be furious, I am afraid that we will not have time to sit on the shore and watch the fire, but we will set ourselves on fire and reap the consequences. The middle-aged man worried.

"Don't worry, my uncle doesn't have this ability, how dare he set fires? The prestige of the imperial court has dropped greatly in recent years, and countless cultivators have ridden on the head of the imperial court, making the court mourn. At this moment, it is the time when the imperial court is in urgent need of Liwei, and the Nine Swords Sect intercepted the Dragon Elephant Warship, which is equivalent to slapping the face of the court, and then it will definitely send troops to destroy the Nine Swords Sect to establish power. At most, we will be punished. Oh yes, and Lao Li Tou of Yongxin Island, this guy hasn't been talking about this bowl of soup for a day or two, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to get such a big bait. ”

The middle-aged man still had some worry on his face, and said: "The strength of the Nine Swords Sect is strong, although it is not the largest cultivator force in the Southern Sea, but if the imperial court destroys the Nine Swords Sect, it will inevitably cause the disgust of other cultivator sects, and when the time comes, it will make the heavens angry and resentful, I am afraid that I will eat the knife before I have time to eat the soup." ”

"Cultivators are ignorant of the world and devote themselves to cultivation. However, the Nine Swords Sect was too ambitious, and its hands were stretched too long, which made the nearby chickens and dogs restless, and the people were not happy. Wouldn't it be beautiful to eradicate the Nine Swords Sect and share the profits together? There will always be risks in doing things, and you will be choked on eating, let alone such a big bowl of soup?" Liu Chengshou glanced at the middle-aged man: "Everyone in the world says that this is the world of cultivators, but this world is always the world of people in the world, even if it is an immortal, he is also a person! No matter how powerful a cultivator is, it is impossible for him to get along with the people of the world, don't worry." ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Liu Chengshou with a complicated expression, this old guy has been sitting in the position of the city lord of Drunken Immortal City for decades, fighting openly and secretly with the Nine Sword Sect and the major cities, and he has never suffered a big loss. After enduring for decades, once he was in trouble, the middle-aged man still didn't know what the old fox was thinking about.

Liu Chengshou set up the chess pieces and motioned for the middle-aged man to go first.

When Liu Chengshou ordered the interception of the Nine Swords Sect's taxes, he had already paid the taxes out of his pocket in advance, and the taxes that were robbed later were directly confiscated. In fact, the two roads are all bait, and there are no taxes at all.

So no matter which way Lu Cheng and Yang Lanzhi ambushed, they would take the bait and eat the bait obediently, and then it was time for Liu Chengshou to lift the fishing rod and catch the fish ashore.

How could a sky-high Dragon Elephant warship be so delicious? But the temptation was so great that almost no one could refuse!

It's just that what Liu Chengshou didn't expect was that the Dragon Elephant Battleship was not eaten by the Nine Swords Sect, but was eaten by pirates!

And the bait in the other place also fell into Lu Cheng's hands.

However, this scene, whether Liu Lao Fox has calculated it or not, it is not clear.

The middle-aged man looked at the determined Liu Chengshou, and didn't know how many killing moves this old fox had. Just if you lose the Dragon Elephant Battleship and change it to an ordinary person, even if you get it back, the best one will lose a black gauze hat, and if you don't do it, you will lose your head. Where did he Liu Chengshou get the confidence to dare to do this?

But now, Liu Chengshou will disrupt the situation sooner or later, and when he wakes up tomorrow, the entire southern sea will know that the Nine Swords Sect has seized the dragon elephant warship of the imperial court, and the imperial court will not be able to hang on its face, so it will send troops to attack the Nine Swords Sect, but it will also cure Liu Chengshou for dereliction of duty. Liu Chengshou still has the leisure to play chess here, and he must have already had a countermeasure.

"Come again?" the middle-aged man looked at Liu Chengshou.

"Come again. Liu Chengshou said meaningfully.
