At the end of the year, Qingzhou City became lively.

Because it is close to the end of the year, every household in Qingzhou is busy purchasing New Year's goods, removing the old and welcoming the new. Qingzhou is relatively wealthy, bacon, white noodles and other things are common in people's homes.

In addition to the Chinese New Year, the most solemn event in Qingzhou City is undoubtedly the annual fighting law conference in Qingzhou City. The Dharma Fighting Conference has a great reputation among the people of Qingzhou and is held in the first half of the New Year's Festival.

Before the New Year's Festival, there will be many wealthy families and powerful families in Qingzhou, who make a special trip to Qingzhou City to listen to the Dharma Dojo, and visit various Taoist temples and temples in the city by the way, seeking good luck in the coming year, and this time is also the peak time of incense in various Taoist temples and temples in Qingzhou City. The inns in the city are almost full.

Of course, the crowds in Qingzhou City are surging, and it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, and many people in the Qingzhou Jianghu Gang take the opportunity to sneak into the city to grab territory, and the rivers and lakes are fighting from time to time. Especially between the local gangs in Qingzhou City and the gangs outside Qingzhou City, fierce fights are even more frequent. Qingzhou City, the piece of fat, is a must for all ambitious gangs.

However, Qingzhou City is the capital of a state, and there are 50,000 heavy soldiers in and out of the city. Even the most powerful gangs don't dare to argue with the government, so no gangs in the rivers and lakes dare to make a big deal about the turf fight. Most of the battles are carried out quietly.

The famous Qinghong Inn in Qingzhou City has almost become the base camp of the North 20 Gangs in Qingzhou at this time. The hundreds of elite gangs of the North Twenty Gang who entered the city have all been dispatched near the Qinghong Inn to surround the Qinghong Inn.

If there were people in the rivers and lakes here, they would be shocked to find that almost most of these people were first-class martial artists, with more than thirty top martial artists, and even four peerless martial artists. In addition, there are three gang leaders of the North Twenty Gang here. This kind of strength, placed in any gang, is all elite.

These high-rollers with swords on their backs and swords on their waists guarded the restaurant near the Qinghong Inn, or squatted under the corners around the courtyard or lay in the corners. Without exception, their fierce eyes were staring at a remote and quiet courtyard of the Qinghong Inn, not even sparing a mouse, as if there were enemies in the courtyard with their blood and hatred.

This posture of facing a great enemy can scare many people around them enough, thinking that there is a fight between gangs, and they dare not go out behind closed doors for fear of being caught in the bath.

But in fact, these heroes of the North Twenty Gang, who are extraordinary, have been squatting outside the small courtyard for five or six days, waiting for the people in the courtyard to come out, but they have not waited, and they have not dared to forcibly enter the small courtyard.

The small courtyard of Qinghong Inn is full of evil. Even if the peerless martial artist passed, once he got closer, he was directly bounced away by a soft force. These peerless martial artists did not dare to use their sword qi to forcibly rush into this small courtyard, so as not to anger the people in the small courtyard.

One of the three gang leaders of the North Twenty Gang present, Zhang Rong was not too surprised by this. There were also two gang leaders present, Duan Dashan and Lu Fengzhi. Duan Dashan is burly and tall, with thick skin and dry flesh, and a pair of iron sand palms that are extremely strong, and he is a top martial artist. Lu Fengzhi's body is slightly thinner, but his breath is also calm and hidden.

The Northern Twenty Gangs are an alliance of twenty large gangs from the northern counties of Qingzhou. Although an alliance was formed, each gang was still headed by the original gang leader, so there were as many as twenty gang leaders.

The three of them were three of them.

is also a gang leader, but the status of the three of them is obviously superior and inferior. Zhang Rong is undoubtedly the highest-ranking helper, the reason is very simple, he is a member of the Zhang family in northern Qingzhou, and he is also the brother of the chief scoop leader.

The real person in charge of the alliance is the chief scoop leader, who is above the major gang leaders. In the North Twenty Gang, as long as you have seen the chief scoop handle, you don't dare to disobey orders. However, there are not many people who are qualified to meet the chief scoop leader, and only the gang leaders of the North Twenty Gang and peerless martial artists are qualified to meet in person.

"Brother Zhang, we have been here for five or six days, and there has been no movement, so it's not a matter to go on like this. What if the people in the hospital don't come out? Look, is it important for us to get down to business first?"

Duan Dashan, with a somewhat humble tone, asked Zhang Rong's opinion.

The Northern Twenty Gang sent a small group of elite backbones into Qingzhou City this time in order to find out the situation in the city, establish a branch stronghold, and prepare to grab the territory in the city with the local gangs.

But this plan was delayed by this unexpected event. Since Zhang Rong discovered the abnormality of this small courtyard, he immediately mobilized all the gangs who had entered the city here and stayed near this inn, preventing other gangs and ordinary people from approaching.

Duan Dashan was worried that the establishment of the branch hall would be delayed, so he made this inquiry.

Lu Fengzhi also looked at Zhang Rong and asked for Zhang Rong's opinion.

Zhang Rong knew that he was two pounds, if it weren't for his brother's reason, Duan Dashan and Lu Fengzhi, who were also helpers, would not have been so polite to him.

He said very politely: "Brother Duan, Brother Lu, I have already informed the chief scoop of the matter here, and it is estimated that the chief scoop will be able to go to Qingzhou City in the next few days." As long as you wait for the chief scoop to come in person, the matter here will naturally be handled by the chief scoop handle. The two brothers should know that the people in this small courtyard are extraordinary. The chief scoop has long instructed that once you meet someone like him, you must not offend, and you must try to win it over. This is much more important than building a branch. ”

Duan Dashan saw that Zhang Rong had lifted out the words of the chief scoop, his face was suffocated, and he didn't dare to say more. They have seen the chief scoop handle with their own eyes and know the fairy magic of the chief scoop handle. When encountering this kind of legendary immortals, these unruly people in the rivers and lakes can only be impressed, and they dare not resist at all.

This time, the Northern Twenty Gang's attempt to seize Qingzhou City undoubtedly needs to avoid the interference of the immortals, so as not to fail. It is also a matter of course that Zhang Rong attaches so much importance to the people in this small courtyard.

The people in the small courtyard didn't come out, and the chief scoop hadn't come yet, so they had no choice but to continue to guard here. When they found other gangs approaching, they were all driven away. The people in the gangs who were driven away were naturally not convinced, and came in groups to find the bad luck of the North Twenty Gang.

However, seeing that a large group of top martial artists and peerless martial artists of the Northern Twenty Gang were sitting on the scene, guarding the vicinity of the Qinghong Inn, they could only stare dryly. Unless you bring in a large group of masters, you can't break in.

Even if the government officials came, they were also blocked by them. The officials were also unwilling to easily offend these well-known outlaws of the Northern Twenty Gang. As long as there are no major cases, the government can only let it go.

At this time, four inconspicuous gray carriages slowly drove into Qingzhou City under the traction of eight pure black horses. The arrival of these carriages did not cause much movement in Qingzhou City, but the people of the Northern Twenty Gang were highly nervous.

As soon as the carriage entered the city, more than ten top martial artists and four peerless martial artists escorted it with the car. It wasn't until they arrived in front of the small courtyard of the Qinghong Inn that the four carriages slowly stopped. At this time, the surroundings of the small courtyard have been cleaned up by the people of the North Twenty Gang, and there is no passing figure in sight.

Zhang Rong, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly came to several carriages and greeted him respectfully: "Big brother, second sister." ”

The two gang leaders, Duan and Lu, stood not far away, bowed down and saluted the people in the carriage, but did not approach the carriage.

Among the gang leaders, only Zhang Rong has the qualifications to take the initiative to talk to the chief scoop. The other dozen or so gang leaders could not take the initiative to speak without the opening call of the chief scoop handle. This can also be seen that Zhang Rong's status is obviously higher than that of other gang leaders. But the other gang leaders can't be convinced, who is called Zhang Rong is the brother of the chief scoop.

In the front carriage, a young man's voice came out: "Brother Rong, how is the situation now?"

Zhang Rong knew that it was the people in this small courtyard who were asking, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, after I found out about the abnormality here, I have been leading people to guard here, and I haven't found any movement so far. I guess the people inside should still be there. ”

The young man in the carriage hummed, and the curtain opened. A good-looking young man walked out of the carriage, dressed in brocade and white robes, although the clothes were gorgeous, but for his status, it could be regarded as simple.

The three carriages behind came down one after another. A pure woman in white, a big black man with an iron cane, and a scholar dressed as a middle-aged man.

"Participate in the total scoop handle, two scoop handles, three scoop handles, and four scoop handles!"

Zhang Rong, Duan Dashan, Lu Fengzhi and other gangs of the Northern Twenty Gang, top martial artists and peerless martial artists, immediately knelt on one knee and half knelt on the ground, saying awkward names in their mouths, looking awe-struck, and not daring to look up.

Several gang leaders were worried in their hearts, and the four scoop handles of the North Twenty Gang were all here, which was not an ordinary thing. It is rare to see four scoop handles out together.

The young man glanced at the small courtyard of the Qinghong Inn, his eyes flashed, and then he frowned. He saw a faint wall of light, enveloping the entire courtyard of several acres. This should be a ban.

He turned around and looked at the three people who came behind him: "Second sister, old black, poor and sour, who do you think will be here?"

The scholar walked outside the small courtyard for a while, shook his fan, and said, "Qingzhou is a necessary place to go to and from Xianyuan City, and anyone here can appear. It's just that ordinary Qi cultivation period cultivators wouldn't use such a big prohibition, which consumes too many spirit stones and is a bit wasteful. If it's a group of monks passing by, it's either a high-ranking monk. However, the monks who pass by usually do not stay in Qingzhou City for more than a day, and the monks in this small courtyard stay here for five or six days, what do they want to do?"

The black man knocked on the wall of light with a latte, the wall of light was extremely strong, and muttered: "I have seen this kind of prohibition in Xianyuan City, it is a low-level defensive forbidden array, and it takes one or two hundred spirit stones to afford it." The array disk will consume at least five lower-grade spirit stones once it is activated, rich people. We worked hard in Qingzhou, and it took us six years to control twenty gangs, and we could get dozens of spirit stones in a month. squandering the spirit stone like this, I'm afraid that the people here are not small. ”

Hearing this, the innocent woman spit out her playful tongue: "This forbidden array will use up five lower-grade spirit stones at a time? It's really rich, it can't be a big family monk passing by here, right? Then we can't afford to mess with it." ”

"Who knows, I hope the monks here are just passing by, don't interfere with our plan to win the Qingzhou City Gang. Otherwise, I'm afraid that our operation will be extremely difficult this time. And the origin of the people inside is unknown, we still need to be careful, if the situation is not right, we also need to try to avoid it, and protect ourselves is the best policy. ”

The young man said worriedly.

The woman in white, Fan, Xia and the other three thought so. Among them, Zhang Zhe, who had the highest strength, was only at the fifth level of the Qi training period, Fan and Xia were both at the fourth level of the Qi training period, and Zhang Qiaocai was only at the third level of the Qi training period. When encountering a high-level monk, there is only a chance to flee for your life, so how dare you step forward and fight hard.

Around the small courtyard, the three gang leaders who were still half-kneeling on the ground, waiting for the commander's command, hundreds of top martial artists and peerless martial artists, all looked at each other. They were expecting that after the arrival of the scoop handle, they would be able to deal with the people in the small courtyard.

But this small courtyard can make four scoop handles who are proficient in immortal arts all make trouble together, I don't know what the way it is?
