On the tenth day after the battle between Li Mu and Simonke, an envelope with the mark of the red shark was delivered to Li Mu's desk.

Inside the envelope was an invitation. The style of the invitation is different from the usual style, the rough paper and the flat and straightforward words, no matter how you look at it, there is a rough taste.

"One of the thirteen leaders, the invitation of the Qiang Prefecture Leader. Li Mu knocked on the table and asked Bei Miao on the side, "The hidden matchmaker came faster than Liu Jiyang?"

"The northern states came to Yacheng by water, and now only the mending hand is inexplicable. Yin Hongniang is the leader of the Red Shark Gang, the largest gang in Qiangzhou, and should have come by land. So the brothers can't monitor it. Bei Miao paused for a moment before continuing, "However, as soon as she arrived in Yacheng, she booked the Yuelai Inn, and then distributed invitations to invite the gangs and businesses in Yacheng to the banquet. ”

The Nine Songs Gang now controls the dock in Kanfang, just north of Yacheng, so they can also monitor the whereabouts of those who come to Yacheng by water. The Heaven Mending Hand inexplicably arrived in Yacheng three days ago, and with his reputation in the rivers and lakes, he caused a sensation as soon as he arrived in Yacheng.

In today's world, who doesn't want to get a weapon produced by the Red Clay Sword Furnace?

I heard that as soon as the mending hand moved into Xu Zhilei's manor inexplicably, someone came to visit. Even if there is the prestige of the king side by side, there is still an endless stream of people who come to the door to ask for a meeting. All of a sudden, it can be said that it is like a market. Although the mending hand has inexplicably washed his hands in a golden basin for a long time, he no longer casts swords with his own hands. But the vows are all broken, and everyone hopes that they will be the ones who break the vows inexplicably.

Li Mu was naturally not in a hurry to join in the excitement. His current saber Thunder Sword has never suffered a loss on the blade since he brought it out of the immortal tomb. It really lives up to the name of the original Sword King. It's just that the name Ringing Thunder is the name that Li Mu took from the sword that Shen Li originally named Sullen Thunder. The meaning is only clear to Li Mu himself. When the reputation of this sword really resounded like thunder all over the world, it would not be impossible to show the brilliant spirit of the sword king.

Yi Fan's Wind Reverse Sword is also a family heirloom sword, and the quality is also quite good. No need to change it. There are also other people in the gang who use swords, and there are several swordsmen in the Si Mingtang under Yi Fan's command. If every sword is made with the sword of the Red Clay Sword Furnace...... Li Mu could only think about that scene.

Let's not talk about the cost, each sword in the Red Clay Sword Furnace is different from person to person, and there has never been a saying that it is built in batches. You have money, but people won't do it. This is the confidence of the human red clay sword furnace.

There is probably no need to ask for a sword, but if it is possible, Li Mu still wants to meet an inexplicable master who is famous all over the world.

Another person who is sought after is Bu Yanjun. The name of the god operator, coupled with his extremely handsome appearance, Bu Yanjun is the focus wherever he goes. He was the first to go to Yacheng. Before the order summoned by His Majesty the Emperor reached Lizhou, he had already come to Yacheng. Unpredictable prophets, for him, is also a common ability.

However, after arriving in Yacheng, Bu Yanjun lost his trace. There is news that he was directly invited into the palace by Chen Xiao, but no one confirmed this news.

These two leaders caused a great sensation as soon as they came to Yacheng. When all the rest arrived, I don't know what it would be like. Li Mu has more or less some understanding of the thirteen leaders. Since the Nine Songs Gang grew, he had gathered even more information.

The red shark in the waves, the word "in the waves", refers to the waves of the sand sea. The land of Qiangzhou is vast, but the center is a large wasteland, half of which is a desert. Only one circle around is there a crowd. Specifically, only the western part of the country, the northeastern part of the country, and the southeastern part near the coast have market towns.

The topography of Qiangzhou was destined for the route of the merchants. If you want to go to the night white country, you can only go from the west to the north of Qiangzhou, and then to the northeast, and then enter the night white country. Although it is a trip to the White Country, it is very profitable. But the risks on the road are also enormous. Within Qiangzhou, because of the vast land and sparsely populated people, the products are scarce. Therefore, it is easy to breed banditry. In addition, Qiangzhou borders the grassland, and the grassland people in the north are eyeing it. But most of the caravans that can take the line of the Night White Country are big merchants.

As for the word Red Shark, it refers to the Red Shark Gang. At first glance, the Red Shark Gang looks like a gang, but in fact, it is the largest group of sand bandits in Qiangzhou. The Red Shark Gang has a force of nearly 3,000 people, and it can be said that it is roaring back and forth in Qiangzhou. During the period of the previous generation of big bosses with red beards, Da Zhen sent troops to suppress bandits, but because of the terrain, the supply line was too long, and the grain and grass could not keep up, so he finally had no choice but to give up.

However, Redbeard is quite hostile to the steppe people, and he robs it himself, but he is absolutely unambiguous about the steppe people. The Night White Country can still do business with the Red Shark Gang, and the grassland people don't even think about it.

For an armed force like the Red Shark Gang, the deputy privy envoy of the Privy Council at that time thought of a compromise solution. With the head of the grassland people as a merit, he recruited the Red Shark Gang. gave Redbeard a position as the leader of the thirteen, and also gave him a military battalion number, called the Red Shark Battalion. The battalion was nominally under the management of the Privy Council, but is now under the control of the Ministry of War along with the Thirteen Chiefs. But in reality, they are still sand bandits.

After the Red Shark Gang accepted the recruitment, Da Zhen no longer sent troops to exterminate the Red Shark Gang, and even sent troops to help the Red Shark Gang when the Red Shark Gang and the grassland people clashed. But correspondingly, in exchange, the Red Shark Gang could not rob the caravan and not hurt the caravan's life.

This move seems to be a gesture of goodwill to the Red Shark Gang, but in fact it is a secret divisive plan.

The Red Shark Gang is powerful, and there are many halls under the red beard of the gang leader. In addition to the big boss of Redbeard, there are also nine big bosses. The sand bandits, who are accustomed to freedom, do not want to return to the days of regular life. If you don't rob the caravan, the sand bandits have no source of money, do you want them to drink the northwest wind?

Besides, the Imperial Court of Da Zhen still wanted to annihilate the Red Shark Gang before, so if it recruits peace, it will have to enter Beijing to take over the seal, right? If the Imperial Court makes trouble and leaves the vast and vast world of Qiangzhou, it will be easier to kill the people of the Red Shark Gang.

Therefore, after Redbeard revealed his willingness to submit, most of the nine masters were unconvinced. At this time, the imperial court sent another person, pretending to be a sand bandit who had taken refuge, into the sea cave of the Red Shark Gang, provoking confrontation and conflict. Under the deliberate actions of the imperial court, how could the Red Shark Gang not be chaotic?

The big boss Redbeard suddenly died, and the nine masters under his command began to seize power. In the end, the rebellion of the Red Shark Gang was quelled by the most powerful second boss, Lin Xi. Then Lin Ximing introduced Redbeard's daughter, the Hidden Red Lady, to inherit the position of the gang leader. She accepted the imperial court and became one of the thirteen chiefs.

Yin Hongniang's personal strength, among the thirteen leaders, I am afraid that it is only one line higher than Ji Moleng, the God of Wealth. However, the armed forces under his command are second only to the God of Wealth! As a sand bandit, the Red Shark Gang has been fighting against the grassland people for a long time. Its strength is far beyond that of ordinary bandits. To put it more precisely, they are a group of cavalry with no military discipline.

The cavalry of 3,000 people, after civil strife, still has more than 1,000 people left. But now under the name of the hidden matchmaker, there is also a steady upward trend. Maybe the Red Shark Gang can't afford to be elite, but the cavalry of more than 1,000 people is no longer a small force. You must know that 3,000 cavalry charging together is enough to chisel through tens of thousands of foot soldiers! Fortunately, the Red Shark Gang is the opponent of the steppe people, who are born to shoot volleys, and the Red Shark Gang will not be able to bargain for anything if they ride against each other. Otherwise, there is really something invincible.

Li Mu looked at the invitation, thinking about why the hidden red lady invited the gangs in Yacheng to the banquet together. But without a face-to-face meeting, naturally there is no clue. Li Mu put the invitation aside, and then said to Bei Miao: "Go and ask Yi Fan if he is free, if so, let him go to the banquet with me in the evening." It's just the right time to meet new friends and catch up with acquaintances by the way. ”
