"Master, the system currently does not have such a setting, and the situation after the upgrade is unknown."
Sure enough, he was still the "Little Iron", urging him to upgrade the system.
"Xiaotie, I want to extract system characters."
"Okay, Master!"
The luck on the first day of the new year was indeed the same, and in the end the light beam stayed in the golden zone.
Shen Luoyan, the golden card, is a mid-level martial artist of the Grand Master.
Due to Shen Luoyan, Chu Ming's realm also increased slightly. He was originally in the middle stage of master's level and finally broke through to the late stage of master's level.
Since Chu Ming's realm is the accumulation of everyone's skills and he has not practiced any skills himself, he can also be called the most powerful master.
Looking at Shen Luoyan in front of him, Chu Ming felt that she was even more beautiful than what was described in the book.
Mu Wanqing also has a bit of a girl's youthfulness and immaturity, while Shen Luoyan perfectly shows the "spell-binding" beauty of a woman.
Chu Ming couldn't take his eyes off Shen Luoyan for a long time.
Every system figure is 100%25 loyal to Chu Ming. Shen Luoyan naturally does not resent Chu Ming's gaze, but instead puts on all kinds of seductive moves to attract his attention.
In the end, Chu Ming felt embarrassed and reluctantly turned his gaze away. Looking at the blushing Chu Ming, Shen Luoyan couldn't help but giggle.
Since Tu Fengsan and Xuan Ming were following the people of the Black Clothes Sect, the changes in Gushe Mountain were naturally not hidden from Chu Ming.
"Could there be some treasure or the remains of a certain sect? And this is the target of the Black Clothes Sect's search?"
Tu Fengsan boldly put forward his hypothesis.
"Treasures and relics?"
Chu Ming had a look of doubt on his face. Seeing Chu Ming who was deep in thought, no one disturbed him and sat aside quietly waiting.
After thinking about it for about a cup of tea, Chu Ming said confidently, "No. Even if Feng San guessed it correctly, these should not be the goals of the Black Clothes Sect."
"Why are you so sure, Master?"
Shen Luoyan blinked her big eyes and looked at him affectionately. Looking at Tu Fengsan who was thoughtful on the side, Chu Mingcai didn't believe that she couldn't understand the truth here with her wisdom.
Just looking at Shen Luoyan's big, autumn-filled eyes, Chu Ming patiently explained, "He Jian and the others have been lurking in Hedong County for more than ten years, taking huge risks, and their plan must be very big. The treasure Feng San mentioned just now, None of the ruins are worth the effort they put into it.”
"The Black Clothes Sect is, after all, one of the two holy places in Shanhai Continent. There will definitely be no shortage of treasures, techniques and other things. People may not take notice of things from a remote place like the Song Kingdom."
Chu Ming's explanation convinced everyone present.
"Sir, you are so smart!"
Shen Luoyan did not hide his admiration at all, causing Chu Ming's red cloud that had just faded to crawl onto his face again.
Chu Ming had to cough a few times to cover up his embarrassment.
"No matter what happens, Hedong County will inevitably become a place of great concern in the future. Everyone needs to act more cautiously and not expose their whereabouts."
"Sir, if there really is a treasure like a ruin, shall we fight for it?"
For Chu Ming, who has a system, he really doesn't like ordinary treasures.
Maybe you can still fight for it if it's harmless, but the prerequisite is that the risk shouldn't be too great.
"Depending on the specific situation, our first priority is to hide our identity and develop in a low-key manner."
"Luoyan completely agrees with Young Master's plan."
When saying this, Shen Luoyan did not forget to give Chu Ming a wink.
He felt his heart beat significantly faster, "bang, bang, bang," like a sledgehammer hitting a wall.
"The current situation in the Song Dynasty is chaotic. Our development power cannot only be limited to the Jianghu, but should also penetrate into the court."
Shen Luoyan lived up to her reputation as a "beautiful military advisor", and her appearance immediately opened up everyone's minds.
"This is an excellent suggestion. We want to know as much as possible about the Shanhai Continent. Only by entering a higher level can we obtain the corresponding information. Once we have a suitable candidate, we will first infiltrate the Song Dynasty's court."
Hearing that Chu Ming accepted her suggestion, Shen Luoyan laughed happily. She was originally a very capable woman and longed to have a stage to display her talents instead of just being a vase.
Everyone also agreed with Shen Luoyan's suggestions. They did not expect that this beautiful woman would have such insight.
"We should take advantage of the fact that the Salt Gang is leaderless and take complete control of it. The Lishui water transportation business must be firmly in our hands. Only by mastering the resources can we ensure smooth future development."
"But doing so will definitely attract a lot of attention, which is not conducive to our principle of continuing to develop in a low-key manner."
Chu Ming has his own obsession with "low-key", and their current strength is not enough to support a head-on collision with big forces.
"Luo Yan admires the young master's low-key and restrained attitude!"
While saying this, he glanced at Chu Ming lovingly. Shen Luoyan was tempting him all the time.
"The development of power cannot be hidden in the dark. It is only a matter of time that part of the strength is exposed."
Chu Ming, who was upset by her teasing, pretended to be calm and asked, "What did Luo Yan have in mind?"
Shen Luoyan gave him a sweet smile as usual, and then said seriously, "Young Master's principle of low-key development cannot be changed. Our future development can be divided into two lines, light and dark. The dark line is the Palace of Hell, where most of our strength is placed, and the bright line Start by taking control of the Salt Gang.”
Chu Ming lamented how a woman's expression could change so quickly. One second she looked like a little woman teasing her lover, and the next second she turned into a wise military advisor who was guiding the country.
"Commander Shen's suggestion is feasible, please consider it."
Shen Luoyan's proposal first won the support of Tu Fengsan, and others nodded in agreement. Of course, Chu Ming still needed to make the final decision.
"Now that the Sixth Prince has been punished and Emperor Song is furious, all the forces in the court will not extend their tentacles to the Salt Gang until this storm has completely passed."
"And this is the best time for us to take control of the Salt Gang."
"And there is no direct connection between the Salt Gang and the Palace of Hell. Even if someone wants to investigate, they can't figure out the true relationship between the two."
Chu Ming's words set the tone for this matter, but who would control the Salt Gang gave Chu Ming a headache.
"Isn't there a ready-made candidate here? How could such a talented young man turn a blind eye?"
Regarding Shen Luoyan's reminder, Chu Ming knew in his mind the candidate she was referring to, but he still needed Tu Fengsan to be by his side.
The smart Shen Luoyan immediately noticed the change in Chu Ming's mood, and said with a charming smile, "It will be fine if sister Wanqing and I accompany the young master. Without the leader of the Tu family, the small Dragon and Tiger Gang cannot escape our control."
Hearing what Shen Luoyan said, Chu Ming immediately came to his senses, but he still asked Tu Fengsan's opinion first. "Bongsan, are you willing to go to the Salt Gang?"
"Sir, Feng San is willing to take over the Salt Gang for you and expand your sphere of influence."
"Okay, then Feng San will be the leader of the Salt Gang, and the two elders Xuan Ming will be the guardians on the left and right, and the Lishui water transportation will be in our hands."
"Thank you, Young Master. I swear to the death to fulfill the Young Master's instructions."
"With the expansion of the Young Master's power, it is not enough for us alone. We still need to absorb and train local people for our use."
Shen Luoyan raised another key issue. In fact, Chu Ming and Tu Fengsan also discussed this point, but it was delayed because there were too many things and not enough manpower.
"The Gushe Mountains outside the city is such a good location. It would be a pity not to use it."
"What do Luoyan plan to do?"
"Choose a suitable location, establish a secret base, adopt homeless children, and cultivate their various abilities and loyalty to the organization from an early age. The elites you cultivate are always better than those strong ones recruited midway."
Chu Ming also fully recognized this point. If he wanted to keep a low profile and mysterious, the loyalty of the organization members was the most basic guarantee.
He had long made up his mind not to let anyone know his true identity except for system figures.
"Another advantage of doing this is that it can provide the Palace of Hell with a steady stream of grassroots killers."
Shen Luoyan's proposal was applauded by everyone.
"At the same time, we cannot ignore the importance of intelligence. Now that our power has taken a basic shape, intelligence work must be taken seriously."
Tu Fengsan had actually suggested this to Chu Ming a long time ago, but it was just because the manpower and conditions at the time were not enough to support them in setting up an intelligence system.
"If we can't do the big ones, we'll do the small ones first. We can start with the areas controlled by Qinghe County. First of all, we must ensure the absolute safety of our own forces."
Shen Luoyan still insisted on establishing an intelligence system quickly. Chu Ming knew that she was an intelligence expert, so he handed over the work to her.
As soon as Shen Luoyanfu was born, her dazzling performance established her position as the military advisor of the Chu Ming Group.
Since Tu Fengsan and Xuan Ming were about to rush to the county to take over the Salt Gang, they gave their small courtyard to Shen Luoyan.
With the changes in Gushe Mountain, it is expected that a large number of warriors will gather in the future. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Chu Ming rejected Shen Luoyan's suggestion to continue to follow the disciples of the Black Clothes Sect.
Based on the principle of keeping a low profile, Chu Ming reminded them to be careful not to expose themselves.
No matter how careful you are, the presence of so many strong men in the same area will arouse the suspicion of interested people, and they will definitely dig deeper into the connection between them.
After bidding farewell to Chu Ming, Tu Fengsan took Xuan Ming and the two elders to the county town. Since he decided to control the Salt Gang, he naturally had to race against time.
Since Wu Fatian's death, the Salt Gang has been divided into two parts.
