The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 700

On the top of Tianshan Mountain, the main altar of the Tianxiahui.

Tianshan Mountain is not located in the Western Region, but is located in the northern part of the Central Plains, around the Yanshan Mountains in another dimension. Facing south and facing north, one can overlook the entire Central Plains.

In the guild master's room, Xiongba occupies the main seat, and the side seat is a white-faced, beardless, "slender" man in red clothes. He wears a tall hat, holds a goose feather fan, stretches out his orchid fingers, and gently The sunspots in front of you are placed on the board.

Xiong Ba frowned slightly and said with a smile: "Chou Chou, your chess skills have improved again."

That man is Wen Chouchou, the general manager of the Tianxiahui, and Xiongba's exclusive sycophant. Hearing the leader's praise at this moment, he couldn't help covering his mouth with a goose feather fan and chuckled: "Chouchou plays chess with a big player like the leader every day, so naturally his chess skills will improve." , Chou Chou would like to thank the lord for his influence..."

"Report..." A member of the gang strode into the room, bowing and saluting: "I want to report to the leader of the gang, the black knight spies have something urgent to report."

Xiongba turned a deaf ear to these trifles in the gang, and just took one of the white pieces and placed it gently on the chessboard.

Wen Chou Chou took the urgent report and waved his hand to drive away the gang members. After opening it, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, it's bad, gang leader!"

Wen Chouchou looked fussy, and walked around beside the gang leader, showing his "enchanting" style: "All the spies we sent to Wushuang City have lost their news. According to the villain, most of them were intercepted by Dugu Fang." Framed, this Wushuang city dares to fight against the world, it is clearly seeking its own death. Well, the newspaper also said that they invited a young master named Chen Zhao..."

"Chen Zhao went to Wushuang City?"

Xiongba's mind shook slightly, he put down the flag in his hand slowly, stood up, frowned and said: "No way, this man's martial arts are unpredictable, how could he be driven by Dugu Fang?"

Xiongba is currently studying the three-point return of vitality. Before he has mastered this set of martial arts, he will not provoke Chen Zhao and Ni Bodhisattva again, so the current focus of the Tianxiahui is still on the confrontation with Wushuang City.

But if Chen Zhao and Dugu join together, then the pressure on the Tianxiahui will be great.

"Master, the villain hasn't finished reading yet." Wen Chouchou said cautiously.

"Continue reading." Xiongba said calmly.

"Yes!" Wen Chouchou swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calmed down the fear that he didn't know why, and read the last sentence in the urgent report: "The ones who followed Chen Zhao to Wushuang City, except for his dozen or so disciples, There are also two grandsons of Clay Bodhisattva."

"No wonder!" Xiongba nodded slowly.

Chen Zhao must be afraid of his three-point return to vitality, so he couldn't place the Clay Bodhisattva in that small mountain village, so he had to take him to Wushuang City.There is such talent as being alone, but he does not know the destiny of heaven and does not respect heaven's secrets, so he will not pay attention to the Clay Bodhisattva.

That being said, this Chen Zhao is very self-aware, knowing that sooner or later, the old man will use three-point return to vitality to defeat him.

But now that the old man has not accomplished his miraculous feats, he is unwilling to sit back and watch the old thief Dugu run amok.

Hard ones won't work, then come soft ones.

In any case, the clay bodhisattva must be invited.

"Chou Chou, go call Shuang'er." Xiong Ba pondered for a long time and then gave the order slowly.

Among the three major disciples of Xiongba, Qin Shuang, as the senior brother of Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng, is not handsome, and his martial arts is the most mediocre among the three disciples of Xiongba, but he is upright and sincere. It is very prestigious in the meeting.

Compared with Bu Jingyun, who has a fickle personality, and Nie Feng, who is upright and hates evil, Qin Shuang has a high level of knowledge and a clear approach to things, and is most suitable for diplomatic work.

As long as Xiongba gives orders, Qin Shuang can bear the burden of humiliation and will not provoke people in Wushuang City at will.

Xiongba originally planned to arrange for Nie Feng to sneak into Wushuang City and let him deal with Dugu Yifang. If Nie Feng died as a result, Xiongba, although sad, would put down a burden and use this as an excuse to launch an attack on Wushuang City.

But since Chen Zhao and Ni Bodhisattva have arrived at Wushuang City and have not yet successfully cultivated their three-point return vitality, Nie Feng does not need to deliberately commit suicide. It is better to send the most prudent disciple Qin Shuang.

"Disciple Qin Shuang, pay homage to Master."

In the gazebo, Qin Shuang saluted Xiongba.

"Well, Shuang'er, I have arranged for you to bring a generous gift. Go to Wushuang City and invite the Ni Bodhisattva to the Tianxiahui. Can you do this?"

Xiongba said lightly.

"Oh, Hall Master Shuang, congratulations!" As Xiongba's right-hand man, Wen Chouchou of course had to say something that the leader of the gang would not say: "This time when I go to Wushuang City, the leader of the gang is not asking you to fight, but with a wish for peace." Go to the peace talks, and if it goes well, invite the mud bodhisattva who lives in Wushuang City. You know, that Chen Zhao is in Wushuang City, Hall Master Shuang can only outwit it, not fight with strength."

In front of a top master like Chen Zhao, there is no use in pretending to be powerful. If you want to get the Clay Bodhisattva, you can only stay humble and act small.

Among the three major disciples of Xiongba, only Qin Shuang can do it.

Therefore, Xiongba's appointment this time can be said to be a good use of knowledge.

"Disciple, I obey! I will definitely not let down Master's trust." Qin Shuang accepted the promise.

……

In Peerless City.

Compared with other towns, Wushuang City is considered a relatively large city. There are many people on the streets, people coming and going, and it is quite prosperous.

But for a person like Chen Zhao who has deep life experience, he can see a big problem at a glance.

There were not enough people, pedestrians looked hungry, and everyone was not dressed very decently.

This shows that the life of ordinary people is not very good.

Wushuang City is located in the Central Plains, surrounded by fertile fields. In recent years, the weather has been good, the food has been harvested every year, and there are many business travelers on the way here. But why are ordinary city residents so poor?
No investigation, no right to speak.

Chen Zhao changed into ordinary clothes, came to the street, and walked into a restaurant with novel decoration, ordered some food and wine, and was about to sit down and taste it.

"Boss, I'm waiting for the city lord's palace servant to pay this month's taxes soon!"

Several guys dressed as men broke into the restaurant and shouted loudly.

"Could it be that the poor masters made a mistake. The small shop has just opened for a month. According to the recruitment list of the City Lord's Mansion and the chief executive of the City Lord's Mansion, the store does not need to pay taxes for the first six months of operation."

The restaurant owner hurriedly came up to him with an apologetic smile on his face and handed over a few taels of silver.

"Besides, my poor fellows, we have been in business for more than a month, but the business is not very prosperous. There are not many customers coming to the door. Even if they want to pay, there is nothing they can do for the time being."

The two sang together, but what they said was well-founded, and they also gave gifts. According to Chen Zhao's experience, these servants should leave a few harsh words and turn around and leave.

"Bang!" A loud sound startled the boss and the manager.

The leading servant slammed the table, pointed at the boss and shouted: "Stop crying about poverty here, and stop showing off here!"

"Anyone who opens a store in Wushuang City must pay taxes every month! This is a matter of course! If you can't pay, you will eat melons!"

"The shopkeeper is wise, the general manager of the city lord's palace who is in charge of taxes has issued an order. In our Wushuang City, death and taxes are the only things that cannot be avoided. According to the size of your restaurant, the monthly tax is 150 taels, and it must be paid today. Qi, otherwise, everyone in your restaurant will be imprisoned, and this restaurant will be confiscated."
