It's windy in the evening.

The autumn wind blew against Xuan'er and poured into the empty Qinglong Hall lobby, making a low moan of "woo woo".

The two guards on duty from Qinglong Hall entered and lit up the lamps on both sides of the lobby one by one.

The bright light illuminated the mule sitting in the hall, hunched over his desk and writing hurriedly.

A piece of white paper about one foot square was spread out in front of him, and the names of people were densely written on it in small regular script. At a glance, it was no less than a hundred.

Many people's names were followed by annotations in red pen.

Some of them read "Poison to Kill".

Some say "assassination".

Others wrote "siege and kill".

But after more than half of the names, it was still empty.

After a long time, Mule put down his pen and sorted out the names again. Halfway through, he rubbed his sore eyes, and there were more bloodshot eyes.

No one knew that he had not slept for five days and five nights.

Since the night of August 15th, he has been spinning twelve hours a day.

All the Blood Shadow Guards in Wuding County were mobilized to collect all the information related to Gu Xiong.

All the Blood Shadow Guards in Jintian Mansion were mobilized to collect the movements of all gangs.

Although he knows that these are all in vain.

But if he doesn't do something, he can't help but stab himself twice.

Big brother doesn't blame him, he is giving him a chance.

He is mentally clear about this matter.

Yuemazhai is less than three hundred miles away from Jintian Mansion, and along the way we have to pass two strongholds set up by the Blood Shadow Guards.

Why didn't he receive any news about Gu Xiong entering Jintian Mansion?

Relaxed.

He relaxed.

His Blood Shadow Guard brothers also relaxed.

Just because they were lax.

The eldest brother broke fourteen bones!

The Silian Gang lost two pieces of territory!

Two hundred and eighty-seven brothers died!

Just because they were lax.

The eldest brother believed in him so much.

He was given full authority to take care of sharp weapons like the Blood Shadow Guard, and he was given the title of Master of the Azure Dragon Hall.

Is this how you repay your elder brother?

"Snapped!"

The mule slapped himself expressionlessly.

This slap was so hard.

The slap caused a trace of blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.

But the numb pain could not drive away the sleepiness of five days and five nights without a wink of sleep.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to turn his attention to the names without red ink at the back, and his head began to feel a dull pain.

These gang brothers in Nancheng are not easy to deal with.

Most of the people placed by the Blood Shadow Guards around those elder brothers have not yet moved into positions close to them.

It would be very difficult to use them to assassinate these big brothers now.

Too hasty...

If I could give him another year... no, half a year!

He can place those people one by one in positions close to those big brothers.

By then, the Blood Shadow Guards alone will be able to capture the entire southern city without a single blow!

But no matter how difficult it is, no matter how hasty it is, if the elder brother speaks, he must carry it out.

If you can implement it, you must implement it.

Even if you can't create the conditions, you still have to implement them.

He has already made a mistake once and will never make it a second time!

The night is getting darker.

…

Li Zheng walked into the White Tiger Hall at dusk.

His steps were heavy, and his arms were swollen like pig legs.

The elder brother said it would take two thousand cuts.

He chopped it with two thousand knives.

One less sword means less than two thousand swords.

The eldest brother is right, if you can't even defend the Kurama Market, what shame do you have to go see him?

He felt like he was a waste.

He doesn't want to be a waste.

"Lord."

A group of people on duty in the White Tiger Hall came up to him and saluted him.

Li Zheng glanced at the dark entrance of the hall and said hoarsely: "Call everyone in the hall to gather. Anyone who doesn't come with a stick of incense will be punished by three swords and six holes!"

There was no strength in his tone, as light as the evening breeze.

But the faces of the many White Tiger Hall guards who saluted him suddenly changed, they bowed and said "Yes", and then rushed out like crazy.

If we say that Zhang Chu’s emperor used carrots and sticks, giving both kindness and power.

Li Zheng's Majesty only has a big fang stick, which can be used to the end.

Baihutang is a morbid hall.

Anyone who can stand in the White Tiger Hall is a ruthless killer.

And Li Zheng is undoubtedly the most cruel and merciless one.

Li Zheng sat down tiredly on the steps in front of the lobby, raised his chin to the boy next to him: "Light some incense."

"Yes, Hall Master."

A little firelight, exceptionally bright in the evening breeze.

Not long after, the members of the White Tiger Hall hurriedly rolled into the White Tiger Hall holding knives.

There was a smell of alcohol in it.

There are bright red lip marks all over the face.

You don't need to think about it to know what these people were doing before they arrived.

They saw the master of their hall sitting on the steps from a distance. They didn't dare to say a word and obediently ran to stand in front of him.

One, two, three, four...

There are more and more people.

However, there were still only rapid footsteps coming from all directions.

It was as if the dark crowd in the courtyard were all mute.

Li Zheng didn't even look at them. He held his chin in one hand and stared at the dark, cloudy sky with unfocused pupils.

The last spark goes out.

Li Zheng's eyes finally fell on the dark crowd: "Each incense master points."

After a commotion among the crowd, the deputy hall master Sun Si stepped forward and said respectfully: "Hall Master, all one hundred and eighty-four people in the White Tiger Hall are here, and no one is missing."

"very good!"

Li Zheng nodded: "Divide into two groups, hold bamboo knives, and chop two thousand swords at each other."

He did not explain why he suddenly summoned them and asked them to chop with bamboo swords.
