The skill "Xiao Li's flying knife, Li Wu's hair" is really suitable for killers to use.
Just because of these several successful assassinations, Chu Ming's reputation in the world has been completely established.
Now everyone knows that there is a master of hidden weapons in the Palace of Hell. He always only takes one shot, but no one can escape his life.
The slogan "The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, who dares to leave anyone alive until the fifth watch" also spread completely throughout the Song Dynasty.
In early spring, when the weather was suddenly warm but still cold, Chu Ming was wrapped in a thick robe and looked at the sparse and dancing snowflakes in the courtyard.
"Didn't I say it was a mild winter this year? Why is it still snowing in March?"
As long as Chu Ming heard that "thick" voice, he would know who was coming.
Sure enough, He Jian appeared next to him in the next second.
"Tell me the truth, do you really not have a wife in the county?"
"Give me back the strong wine I gave you."
Hearing what Chu Ming said, He Jian immediately became much more honest. After getting used to the strong wine in Chu Family Restaurant, drinking other wines made him feel the same as clear water.
"You've been traveling to the county town more frequently recently."
"What can be done? Who would have thought that there would be a cold spring? If we don't help, I don't know how many villagers will not be able to survive."
"As long as you have a Bodhisattva heart, you will definitely be blessed."
In response to He Jian's flattery, Chu Ming just smiled and said nothing.
After returning home in the evening, Chu Ming was having dinner quietly with Yu Niang when he suddenly received a message in his mind.
"Yu Niang, I won't help you clean up after dinner. I want to go to Uncle Fu's place to help take care of you. I won't come back to sleep tonight."
"Mr. Fu, if Uncle Fu is short of manpower, just tell me and I can help."
Naturally, Yu Niang also knew that Chu Ming had been troubled by the "cold spring" recently. The porridge shed that had been closed for many days had restarted giving porridge.
"It's okay. The most urgent thing now is manpower. Be sure to close the doors and windows when you sleep at night."
"Don't worry, sir."
After Chu Ming left home, he first came to the Chu Family Restaurant. After greeting Uncle Fu, he entered the small courtyard at the back.
"Eunuch Cao, what's going on?"
"Sir, there are three early-stage Grand Master warriors, and their target is the Salt Gang."
Chu Ming is very interested in this method of chatting on WeChat in his previous life. The only disadvantage is the "charge", but the price of one tael of silver per message is nothing to Chu Ming now.
"Can you determine which force they come from?"
"We can only confirm that they are from the capital. As for which force they belong to, we can't find out yet."
Chu Ming also knows that his own strength is still relatively weak, and he has not yet formed an effective intelligence network, and some high-end intelligence is still impossible to obtain.
But now this situation has made Chu Ming very satisfied. At least Qinghe County is firmly in his hands.
Now any disturbance in Qinghe County cannot be hidden from Chu Ming's eyes.
All this is due to Hong Qi and the "Gang of Beggars" he formed.
When Chu Ming was so short of manpower in the Shengxian Valley Lingshi Mine, he still asked Hong Qigong to start forming a beggar gang because the information was too important.
Hong Qigong also lived up to his reputation as the Nine-fingered Divine Beggar. He established the Beggar Gang in just one month.
Qinghe County is now like an iron plate.
As long as a stranger enters Qinghe County, Hong Qigong can get the news in less than a quarter of an hour. Although the radiation power of the Beggar Clan can only cover Qinghe County, Chu Ming is already very satisfied.
"Eunuch Cao, do you need me to send support?"
Because the main forces of the Chu Ming Group were acting as "miners" in Shengxian Valley, he was concerned about whether the county's strength was sufficient.
"Don't worry, young master. They are just three warriors in the early stage of the Grand Master. They can be kings and hegemons in other places, but in front of us they are nothing more than ants."
Cao Zhengchun was so arrogant in front of Chu Ming, but this also reflected his confidence.
"Okay, after the operation is over, report the results to me. I will stay at the Chu Family Restaurant tonight."
"Yes, sir."
The three Liu brothers were the most capable killers under the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince was dissatisfied that Lishui Shipping business had been robbed, and found out that the new leader of the Salt Gang was just a master warrior.
Only then did they decide to send the three Liu brothers to take back the Salt Gang, and promised that as long as the operation was successful, from then on, 30%25 of the Salt Gang's profits would be given to their brothers.
"Brother, the leader of the Salt Gang is just a master warrior. Do we need to be so cautious? Let's just kill him first."
"Third brother, we must not be careless. Although the new leader of the Salt Gang is a grandmaster, his two guardians are indeed great master warriors. We must not be careless."
"Those are all the news that came from the Salt Gang themselves. I don't believe that the Grand Master is willing to obey the Grand Master's orders. These are just the smoke they put out."
Liu Laosan seems to be a little dissatisfied with his elder brother's caution, and he insists that there are two great masters in the Salt Gang, but they are just trying to put money on his face, so he will not be fooled.
"Second brother, what do you think?"
"Brother, I think what Lao San said makes sense. No matter where he goes, there is no reason for a grandmaster to command a grandmaster."
Hearing that his second brother also supported him, Liu Laosan became even more energetic. He wanted to kick open Zuo Lengchan's door right now and start killing him.
At this moment, five figures suddenly appeared on the surrounding rooftops.
They all wore white masks and just stared at the three of them coldly without speaking.
The three Liu brothers felt that only one of the five people was at the same level as them, while the other Westerners were far beyond them.
The three Liu brothers knew that they were in trouble this time, and there was a high possibility that they would die tonight.
"I don't know who you are, but if my brother has offended me, we are willing to pay any price to make amends."
Under the roof of others, I have to bow my head. Boss Liu also gave it a try to see if the other party could communicate. As long as they were willing to negotiate terms, the brothers were willing to spend their life savings to buy a way out.
"Who assigned you, and why are you here?"
After the three brothers looked at each other, they sold out the Sixth Prince in the first place.
As long as they can get a chance to live, they don't care about all this at all. Anyway, the Grand Master is always a guest wherever he goes. At the worst possible time, they will leave the Song Kingdom.
After hearing what they said, Cao Zhengchun winked at Xuanming and Xuanming. Just when the Liu brothers thought they had escaped, Xuanming and Xuanming suddenly attacked them with their palms at the same time.
"I've been guarding against you for a long time!"
The Liu brothers swung their palms at Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming with a tacit understanding.
At this moment, they discovered that a biting cold air was eroding their hearts and lungs.
"Attribute warrior!"
After Boss Liu shouted in surprise, he fell to the ground.
After less than a cup of tea, all three of them were frozen to death. It seemed that even the temperature in the small courtyard began to drop, which showed the dominance of their skills.
Now that the matter was over, Cao Zhengchun and Hong Qigong left.
Just when Chu Ming was about to go to bed, he received a message from Cao Zhengchun and understood the whole story.
Chu Ming didn't want to have a conflict with the Sixth Prince first because he didn't take it seriously at all.
All he is thinking about now is the mining of spirit stone mines and the establishment of an intelligence system.
Unlike Chu Ming's Yun Danfengqing, the loss of the three great masters made the sixth prince fall into madness.
Grand masters are already a scarce strategic resource. In an era when kings of martial arts do not appear lightly, grand master warriors are the backbone of all major forces.
No one can easily accept the loss of the Grand Master.
"It's not that the new leader of the Salt Gang is just a grandmaster warrior, and the other two old men are just suspected to be grandmasters. Then why did the three grandmasters I sent all die here? What are our insiders doing? Is it with Yan? Will you help me design this prince?”
Faced with the Sixth Prince's rage, everyone remained silent and did not dare to raise their heads and look him in the eyes, for fear that they would accidentally become the "scapegoat".
"What should we do next?"
The Sixth Prince found that whenever it came to people and things from the Salt Gang, his luck was particularly bad.
If he still can't do anything to defeat the other party this time, he plans to temporarily cease all activities and wait until he becomes the Emperor of Song Dynasty to settle this account properly.
Seeing that his subordinates still bowed their heads and remained silent, the Sixth Prince said in a conspiratorial manner, "Don't let me think that raising a bunch of trash is just a waste of my palace's money and food, but it will not play any role at the critical moment."
The threat was still effective. A middle-aged scribe who was the first on the left stood up and said, "I have an idea. Please consider it, my lord."
"Mr. Wang, just say it."
Seeing that finally one of his subordinates was willing to provide ideas, the Sixth Prince was naturally very encouraging.
"We can entrust the Palace of Hell to assassinate the new gang leader of the Salt Gang and the two mysterious old men."
"Now the outside world doesn't know the true strength of the Salt Gang. If the Palace of Hell suffers a loss from the Salt Gang, the two sides will naturally form a blood feud. No matter which party suffers the loss, we are happy to see it."
"Sir, what a brilliant idea! After all, the emergence of the mysterious and powerful force called the Palace of Hell will have an impact on the existing structure of the entire Song Dynasty. Even my father is very interested in the Palace of Hell. If our plan this time can test them out For your true strength, maybe your father will reward you."
The sixth prince seemed to be very satisfied with Mr. Wang's plan, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded him with five hundred taels of gold.
And they sent people to Qinghe County overnight to take over the entrustment to His Highness the King of Hell.
While the Sixth Prince's people were still rushing towards Qinghe County City, Chu Ming also took the opportunity to come to Shengxian Valley. Although Chu Ming had not entered the valley for a while, the changes in the valley still made him a little stunned.
