Fortunately, Hong Qigong has rich experience. Not only did the Beggar Gang not cause any hidden dangers due to its faster expansion, but it also became more efficient.
Following the trend, the intelligence network also covered the entire country.
No one thought that the intelligence system that Shen Luoyan had been thinking about would be established in this way.
During these peaceful days, Chu Ming came to Shengxian Valley from time to time.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to practice, although he had the skills, he really didn't have many opportunities to use them.
Sometimes he also acts as a miner, collecting spiritual stones. Of course, he always chooses the time to enter the mine very well. Chu Ming must also choose to go into the mine when there are people in the female mine.
He will also secretly observe the students' training and make suggestions of his own.
In short, the current Shengxian Valley is like a "paradise", which can make him forget all his worries.
The sixth prince, who had been silent for a while, started to cause trouble again. He ordered the Qinghe County Sheriff and the County Lieutenant to start causing trouble with the Salt Gang.
Now that Emperor Song no longer paid attention to the Salt Gang, the Sixth Prince was still very concerned about this money bag. After all, he had just lost a large amount of money recently.
Zheng Bin and Li Jun received the instructions from the Sixth Prince, and they got together and started discussing.
"The Salt Gang is not weak, where should we start?"
"What good ideas does General Lee have?"
"The general will completely obey the orders of the governor."
Ever since he learned that Zheng Bin was from the Taiwei Mansion, Li Jun changed his previous attitude and completely followed Zheng Bin's lead.
Zheng Bin naturally enjoys this state very much.
"Although His Majesty no longer pays attention to the Salt Gang, there were strict orders before that we should not touch the Salt Gang easily. If we take too big actions, we will not avoid trouble in the DPRK."
"Your Majesty the Sheriff is right. You can't cause trouble to your Majesty Taiwei just because of this trivial matter."
Li Jun is still the same as before, and his loyalty to the Taiwei is touching.
"There is Yingxia Lake downstream of Lishui. There are many water bandits in the lake. We can bribe them to rob the merchants of the Salt Gang."
"Do these water bandits dare to provoke the Salt Gang?"
"The Lord will provide us with sufficient benefits and promise to ensure their safety. What can't these bandits dare to do? And this also greatly distances the relationship between you and me."
"The general will obey the command of the governor."
When Li Jun saw that Zheng Bin had thought so carefully, he would naturally not argue with him anymore. It was better to use the water bandits than to fight in person. It was the best of both worlds, and he had no reason to object.
Seeing that Li Jun agreed to his plan, Zheng Bin sent an envoy to contact the water bandits that day. The next step was to wait for the good news from Yingxia Lake.
What the two of them didn't expect was that things were different now, and their every move was under strict surveillance.
Before Zheng Bin's envoy reached Yingxia Lake, he was captured by Zuo Lengchan.
Chu Ming received Zuo Lengchan's report and told him that there was no need to be polite and he could just go ahead and do it.
Soon came the news that the Qinghe County Sheriff and the County Lieutenant had been poisoned and had lost their lives in the County Sheriff's Mansion.
When the news came out, everyone had their own suspects, but they all remained silent.
Only the sixth prince was so furious that he sent an order to deal with the Salt Gang. The county guard and the county lieutenant were all killed suddenly. How could the timing be so coincidental?
"This damn Salt Gang is too courageous."
"My lord, please calm down. The people who died this time were the county guard and the county lieutenant, the third-rank officials of the imperial court, and the senior military attache. Naturally, your majesty will not give up easily. We just wait for the imperial court's investigation."
The words of the staff also made the Sixth Prince gradually calm down. He also knew that at this time, it was not appropriate for him to rush ahead. It was better to wait for the court's results.
The candidate sent by the Chief Catcher to Qinghe County to investigate the matter fell on the new "gold-robed catcher" Iron Hand.
Everyone knew that this was a hot potato, involving a battle between the Sixth Prince and a mysterious force. There had long been rumors in the capital that the Sixth Prince had sent three Grand Masters, but the Salt Gang was unable to do anything.
What can a great master like Iron Hand do now? The person who arranged this matter was Bai Shan, the deputy chief catcher of the chief arrest department who disliked Iron Hand.
"Everyone is paying attention to this case. Remember to handle it beautifully. This is also the first major case you will take on as the Chief Inspector. It can be regarded as an assessment of your ability."
While Bai Shan drank hot tea slowly, he handed over the task to Tie Shou in a strange manner.
Everyone in the chief arrest department knows that Baishan doesn't like the newcomer Tie Shou, and this time he obviously wants to use this case to destroy him.
Only Tie Shou responded in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, "I accept my orders."
Regarding Tie Shou's calmness, Bai Shanyi thought he was pretending to be calm. Who knew the other party was really confident. What are you afraid of when going to Qinghe County? The young master and his companions are all there, there is nothing to worry about.
On the contrary, you can use this opportunity to expand your influence.
At this turbulent time, Chu Ming had another opportunity to draw cards.
This time he was very ceremonial. Not only had he fasted and bathed before, but he also prayed sincerely. "Xiaotie, you can start extracting characters."
"Okay, Master."
I don't know if it was because of the previous series of actions, but the light beam finally stayed in the platinum head area.
Nie Feng in the late stage of Platinum Kawu King.
This was of great help to Chu Ming. He felt that he was about to break through the bottleneck of the early stage of Grand Master.
This was also the first platinum card that Chu Ming drew, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
It’s really not easy! The long-awaited ideal has finally turned into reality.
"Nie Feng pays homage to the young master."
"Get up, your appearance was just in time."
What Chu Ming said was absolutely true. After many investigations, Chu Ming was almost certain that the strongest among the three major sects in the Song Kingdom was only the late King Wu.
Nie Feng is definitely the strongest among those who are both in the realm of King Wu. The King Wu of the three major sects cannot be his opponent.
Moreover, the Six Sword Slaves can kill Emperor Wu after being combined, so Chu Ming can be said to be invincible within the Song Kingdom.
It's just that he doesn't have as many Martial Kings as the three major sects, but it's still more than enough to deal with the Jian Sect alone.
"Finally I can say goodbye to the talkative king!"
Just when everyone gathered in Shengxian Valley to discuss the plan, Tie Shou also returned to Qinghe County. There happened to be another new force, so everyone took action against Jian Zong as the Palace of Hell.
"When do you plan to take action, Master?"
"Everyone has been preparing for long enough. This matter should be taken sooner rather than later. We will take action tomorrow night."
Chu Ming glanced at everyone and continued, "We are killers. We don't show any mercy during a sneak attack. A killer organization must have a killer style."
Chu Ming's words set the tone for tomorrow night's actions.
Due to the delay in taking action by the Palace of Hell, Jian Zong believed that they were just empty words and threats, and recently they have gradually relaxed their vigilance.
On such a dark and windy night for a month, a group of shadowy black figures appeared outside the Jian Zong. They wore the same white masks and came to the door of the Jian Zong like ghosts.
The black shadow began to sneak into Jian Zong according to the established plan. Through continuous detection, the internal terrain of Jian Zong has been engraved in everyone's mind.
Although it was the first time for them to step into the gate of Jianzong, they felt as familiar as returning home.
All the overt sentries, hidden sentries, and patrol teams along the way were quietly killed.
No one could raise the alarm. The group was extremely fast, killing almost all of their victims with one blow, and there was never any delay.
Chu Ming loaded all the corpses of Sword Sect disciples along the way into the system space to prevent the smell of blood from being too strong and alerting others.
The process went extremely smoothly. They entered the outer gate of Jianzong without any trouble. According to the already arranged plan, they entered the disciple's courtyard in groups of two.
Chu Ming and Shen Luoyan were in a group, and they sneaked into the courtyard in tacit cooperation. Before Chu Ming could react, Shen Luoyan had already raised his sword and sent the sleeping Jianzong disciple to see the King of Hell.
Chu Ming discovered that when it came to killing people efficiently, he really couldn't compare to the female generals under his command.
Normally they look like charming beauties, but once they get involved, everyone immediately transforms into a life-threatening "female beauty".
Encountering almost no resistance, they successfully cleared the outer door and began to enter the inner door.
Chu Ming and the others encountered trouble when they first entered the inner sect. A pair of inner sect disciples who joined the outer sect discovered a dark figure sneaking in to kill people.
The female disciple's scream woke up the sleeping disciples.
Chu Ming waved his hand and sent out a flying knife, hitting the female disciple's throat and ending the harsh scream.
Although they were discovered, the killing did not stop. The Sword Sect hurriedly responded, and many disciples were killed by a sword piercing their throats before they could react.
The Sect Master and elders of the Sword Sect finally rushed over at this time.
"Dian Wang, you really dare to kill my Sword Sect, I will let your bones be completely buried here today."
Seeing the corpses of disciples scattered all around, the leader of the Sword Sect couldn't help but shout loudly.
"The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch, who dares to leave anyone alive until the fifth watch!"
Chu Ming, however, had no intention of talking nonsense with him. He spoke the slogan of the Palace of Hell first. This was also a signal, and everyone rushed towards their chosen opponent.
The master of the Sword Sect has the highest level, and he is also the only strong person in the late stage of the Martial King in the Sword Sect. His opponent is naturally Nie Feng. The second elder of the Sword Sect was sitting in Emperor Wu's mausoleum, the eighth elder had already died in the battle first, and the remaining six elders happened to face the Six Sword Slaves.
Before this, Chu Ming had done enough homework and waited for Nie Feng to appear, just to gain the advantage of crushing him.
The remaining disciples and elders were completely helpless under the hands of Chu Ming and others. Although they were all great masters, their combat prowess was very different.
The leader of the Sword Sect felt that the young man in front of him was very powerful.
"It is impossible for the world to have a Martial King as young as you. Are you a disciple from a high-grade sect?"
