Ye Qin promised to provide enough protection for the four of them, but the time was very short, and he would only stay in Qingzhou City for ten days.

Zhang Zhe, Fan Jiasheng, and Xia Laohei immediately discussed urgently to see how to use these ten days.

Their goal is to bring the entire Qingzhou under the control of the Northern Twenty Gang. At present, only the northern part of Qingzhou is their sphere of influence, and Qingzhou City is in the hands of a Liao family's Xiaoxiu Immortal family.

Zhang Zhe and others spent a lot of energy to find out the details of this family.

This Liao family used to be brilliant before, it is said that thousands of years ago it was still a great cultivator family, there was a Jindan monk and more than a dozen foundation building monks in the clan, and it once controlled the government of the entire Southern Liang Kingdom.

Later, the Lu family of the Southern Liang Kingdom rose, and after several fierce battles with the Liao family, the Liao family was defeated by the Lu family, and the Liao family retreated from the Southern Liang Kingdom.

The secular family in the Lu family replaced the secular family of the Liao family and naturally became the royal family of the Southern Liang Kingdom.

Almost any immortal cultivation family, the clan must be divided into immortal cultivators and secular members. Not everyone is born suitable for cultivating immortals, so only heirs with spiritual roots can enter the immortal cultivation realm, while heirs without spiritual roots can only live in the secular world. The secular heirs of the Great Cultivator Immortal Family become the royal family of the secular country where they are located, and control the power of national affairs, which is a long-standing tradition in the Lingwu Immortal Realm and the Lingwu Secular Realm.

Within a family of cultivating immortals, the members of cultivating immortals play a role in determining the surname. The stronger the strength of the immortal cultivators, the better the life of the secular members. Secular members, on the other hand, must serve the interests of the immortal cultivators. There are many secular members, and the likely surnames of the members who give birth to immortal cultivators are also larger.

The Liao clan was defeated, the Jindan monk was killed, and the remnants of a group of family members retreated to Qingzhou, losing their ambition to fight with the Lu clan, and they were in a corner of peace. The Lu family's own strength is also seriously depleted, and they don't want to fight any longer, so they canonize the Liao family's secular family as the prince with the foreign surname of Qingzhou, and let him take charge of the military and political power in a corner of Qingzhou.

At this time, although the Liao family was defeated, there were still several foundation building monks alive, and it was also a medium-strength Xiuxian family, and it was still possible to occupy a Qingzhou.

However, Qingzhou is not a good place, and there are often casual cultivators who come and go to cause trouble here.

The situation of the Liao family in Qingzhou is not smooth, hundreds of years have passed, several foundation building monks have died one after another, and the people are not prosperous, and there has not been a monk with high spiritual root talent for a long time. There is no successor in the family, and there has never been a monk above the foundation, only some monks in the Qi cultivation period are barely supported, and they have been challenged by other immortal cultivators several times, although they have defended Qingzhou City, but their strength has been seriously consumed, and they have finally completely declined.

Naturally, the Lu family will not give the Liao family any more face, and the military and political power of Qingzhou City will also be taken back from the Liao family.

Now the secular family of the Liao family only guards Qingzhou with an empty shell title of a foreign surname prince, and has no real power to mobilize the Qingzhou garrison in their hands, but only controls some local gangs. The strength has declined to the extreme, and it has completely reduced to a nameless little cultivator family, and there are only three members of the Qi cultivation period in the clan, barely controlling the local Jianghu gang in Qingzhou City, and unable to expand externally.

In the northern part of Qingzhou, it now belongs to the Zhang family and four others. The western, southern, and eastern parts of Qingzhou were eroded and controlled by seven low-level and middle-level immortal cultivators in the Qi cultivation period. Several of them are forces that have been in business for at least decades and control quite a few gangs.

Because the ten-day period that Ye Qin promised was too short, it was impossible to eradicate all the opponents in Qingzhou at one time. After the Zhang family and the other four people discussed, they finally decided to use ten days to first eradicate the Liao family's Xiaoxiu Immortal family in Qingzhou City and control the local Jianghu gang in Qingzhou City. As for the other loose cultivators in Qingzhou, the threat to them is not too great, and it is not too late to clean up slowly, and their appetite cannot swallow the entire Jianghu gang in Qingzhou at once.

After selecting the target, Zhang Zhe immediately arranged the action.

With the Qinghong Inn where Ye Qin lived as a base, as the temporary base camp of the North Twenty Gang, Ye Qin provided them with an absolutely safe protection. Within a radius of one mile, no other immortal cultivators would be able to enter it.

Zhang Zhe didn't have the courage to let Ye Qin charge into battle, so all the specific actions were completely completed by the Zhang brothers and sisters, Fan, Xia and other four people, as well as a group of top martial artists and peerless martial artists from the Northern Twenty Gang.

If the operation failed, Ye Qin would help them cover the retreat.

Generally speaking, the only thing Ye Qin did was actually provide protection. If everything went well, Ye Qin basically didn't need to make a move. Only in the case of defeat will he need to help the four.

Don't look at Ye Qin almost nothing, but his existence seems to be crucial. As a foundation building stage cultivator, he himself was enough to suppress any Qi cultivation stage cultivator, even a small family.

The Zhang brothers and sisters, Fan, Xia and the other four have the protection provided by Ye Qin, and they don't have to worry about their own safety, they don't have to worry about the base camp being sneak attacked, and they can concentrate superior manpower to eradicate the Liao family in Qingzhou City.

On the contrary, if there was no protection from Ye Qin, then they would have to spend a lot of financial resources, a large number of manpower, and at least more than half a year to operate an absolutely safe base in Qingzhou City. Only then did he dare to launch an attack on the remaining forces of the Liao family, and he might not necessarily be able to win. I'm afraid that the effect is far inferior to the protection provided by Ye Qin.

Therefore, the ten-day protection provided by Ye Qin, although it was very short, was almost equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow for the four of them.

Zhang Zhe arranged the action method and consulted Ye Qin's opinion.

Ye Qin basically agreed with this method. Such an arrangement is exactly what he wants. He didn't want to take matters into his own hands and deal with a little immortal cultivator family. Of course, he didn't have much psychological burden on this action against the Liao family. The Xiuxian family has grown and waned, and it is the norm for the Immortal Cultivation family to prosper and decline. Once the Xiuxian family declines, it will definitely have to give up its original power territory and be replaced by emerging forces.

Zhang Zhe and the others want to make a move against the Liao family in Qingzhou City, which has been prepared for a long time. His addition only made this succession faster and more stable, and allowed the Zhang family and others to reduce the cost of occupying Qingzhou City.

Zhang Zhe explained his action arrangement and glanced at his sister Zhang Qiao. Although Zhang Qiao was listening, she was afraid that most of her thoughts were on Ye Qin's body. Glancing at Ye Qin again, Ye Qin's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Zhang Zhe sighed slightly in his heart.

The reason why he wanted to invite Ye Qin to join the gang was that it would be easy for them to take Qingzhou, even if it was easy to expand to other surrounding states and counties. But the more important reason is that he has a "selfish heart", and his sister is now in her twenties, and it is time to find someone to live in. Six years ago, he originally planned to marry his sister-in-law to his cousin Xu Qing, so he took his sister-in-law to Xianyuan City, but Xu Qing was ruthless in order to join the Immortal Cultivation Sect, so he completely broke off this idea and returned to Qingzhou with Zhang Qiao. In the past few years, in Qingzhou, I have not found a suitable candidate, I must also be an immortal cultivator, and my character must be trustworthy, which is too difficult to find.

If Ye Qin could stay, then he would kill two birds with one stone, but it would be too difficult.

However, Zhang Zhe thought about it, and finally gave up persuasion, after all, Ye Qin was no longer on the same path as them. Ye Qin was roaming in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, while they were roaming in the rivers and lakes, and there was a world of difference between the two.

It is also difficult for a strong man to let Ye Qin give up cultivating the immortal realm and come to the rivers and lakes. The reason why Ye Qin agreed to help them was entirely based on the friendship he had made in Xianyuan City in the past. Otherwise, how could Ye Qin, as a foundation building monk, ask about such a trivial matter on the rivers and lakes of Qingzhou.

Zhang Zhe just smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Ye, you don't want to be the chief scoop of our Northern Twenty Gang, but you did us a big favor." A few of us couldn't repay it. ”

Ye Qin raised his hand and said with a light smile: "You owe me a favor, maybe I will come back later." ”

"Brother Ye said that he will be useful to us in the future, so it doesn't hurt to say it directly!"

"This favor, our brothers have received it. ”

Zhang Zhe, Xia Laohei, Fan Jiasheng and the others glanced at each other and said with a cautious expression. The rivers and lakes have the morality and rules of the people in the rivers and lakes, and human affection is more important than anything else. Ye Qin's surname will not help them for no reason, maybe it will be useful for them in the future. That's when they return the favor.

Xia Laohei added in his heart, not only did he owe a favor, he suffered a leg injury in the Lingwu Grand Canyon, but also thanks to the several bottles of antidote elixir sent by Brother Ye in time. If it weren't for that elixir, he would not only suffer a leg injury, but he was afraid that his cultivation would also drop a big level. Although Brother Ye didn't mention it, he won't forget it

At night, heavy snow fell in Qingzhou, and almost the entire city was dressed up in white. The biting cold wind was as sharp as a knife. In the streets and alleys, there was no one in the city, and the city was pitch black, and the people were wrapped in quilts at home.

But in the central area of the city, in the mansion of King Liao, the lights are bright and will not be extinguished all night.

The gang leaders and elders of more than a dozen large and small gangs in Qingzhou City, dozens of gangsters, regardless of the severe cold, gathered in the mansion of Prince Liao in the city late at night, in the lobby.

These imposing bigwigs in Qingzhou City, one by one, bowed their waists, and they didn't dare to take a breath more, looking at the old prince Liao in the hall, hoping that the old prince Liao could send a word to give them some confidence.

However, the old prince Liao, who is now seventy or eighty years old with white eyebrows and white beard, sat on the vermilion lacquer king chair in the lobby, with a withered face, his eyes were dim, and he looked at the dark night outside the mansion with a blank expression, not knowing what he was thinking, and his face was still gloomy than this snowy night.

The gang leaders and elders did not have the words of Old Lord Liao, so they did not dare to say more.

The 20th Gang of Qingzhou North is eyeing Qingzhou City and wants to take Qingzhou City, which is a well-known thing, and even the merchants and vendors on the streets of the city and the ruffians in the market know about it.

Naturally, they, the local gang bosses, know better.

A few days ago, the North Twenty Gang sent a group of nearly 100 elite masters into the city, which had already alarmed the local gangs in Qingzhou City. They had already sent people to watch every move of the North 20 Gang, carefully guarded, and ready to fight with the people of the North 20 Gang at any time.

But the fight with the Northern Twenty Gang still needs the nod of Old Prince Liao. Since hundreds of years ago, this Liao Wangye's Mansion has been the place where the gangs in Qingzhou give orders. In recent years, some county gangs in the county have openly rebelled and escaped from the control of the royal government. Like the Southern Gang, the Northern Gang, the Eastern Gang, and the Northern Twenty Gang, which has risen rapidly in recent years, have all set up their own doors and no longer obey the orders of Liao Wangfu.

Now only the local gangs in Qingzhou City remain, and they still respect the Liao Wangfu. Without the order of Liao Wangye's Mansion, he would never dare to move lightly.

But I don't know why, the old prince Liao, who has always been hot-tempered, claimed to exterminate this gang of traitors, and this time he actually watched the rabbit cubs of the North Twenty Gang enter Qingzhou City, and they still swaggered in the Qinghong Inn, but they refused to nod their heads and agree to the war between them and the people of the North Twenty Gang.

Tonight, more than a dozen gangs, large and small, in Qingzhou City, suddenly received an extremely tough ultimatum from the North 20th Gang, demanding that all gangs in Qingzhou City surrender. Before dawn, the gangs that do not take the initiative to surrender to the North Twenty Gangs will be baptized in blood by the high-level leaders above the gang incense master.

This caused great anger and panic among the local gang bosses, who gathered at the Liao Wangye's mansion overnight and demanded a war with the people of the North 20th Gang.

But when Old Prince Liao reached this point, he seemed to be still hesitating about something, and he just refused to nod. The bigwigs of the local gangs in Qingzhou are cold in their hearts, and this snowy night is almost desperate.
