Chapter 35 Development

In the meeting hall of the Misty faction, the Misty Six Tigers and Zhang Chengyue are studying the development of the gang and the meeting between Ou Peng and the other gangs when Erlong raised his head in February.

Ou Peng was still sitting in his old position, looking at the senior brothers who had grown up with him from the front. After nearly ten days of rest, he seemed to have completely controlled his soaring power, and the light in his eyes had been restrained. , from the outside, it is completely impossible to see that he is a martial arts master, it is really back to basics.

Ou Peng is very pleased. In fact, he is not the only one who is in a good mood. Except for Zhang Chengyue who did not take the elixir, everyone else is in a very good mood. Of course, after nearly ten days of training, the original excitement has calmed down. What they have done is to readjust the development strategy of the Misty Sect, and strive to expand the gang's power, so that it can become a super sect that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Dalin Temple, Chuanxiang Sect, and Tiandao League as soon as possible.

Ou Peng coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Brothers, once again congratulations to everyone for making great progress in martial arts."

The others also returned the salute and said: "We are happy together, thank you, Lord, for your success."

Ou Peng went on to say: "Now our Misty Sect's strength has improved a lot. I don't know what's going on with the other three factions. Cheng Yue, is there any news over there?"

Zhang Chengyue hurriedly said: "Leader, there is news from Wan Jianfeng that the sword master Wan Chengjiu and several Dharma protectors in his sect retreated for several days. They have all improved their skills; the Tan family is a family-run operation, and the secret work sent by my gang cannot go deep into the high-level, and the specific situation is unknown; and the Yanming Villa is even more ashamed, we can't intervene at all, the servants on the outside know Few, let alone the situation in Neizhuang."

Ou Peng was not very happy, and said: "Cheng Yue, you have done a lot of work in this area, but these alone are not enough. We will make the Misty faction bigger in the future. There is no news. You have to speed up the progress. Use There are many ways to nail our nails within various gangs, and we are blind if we don’t have news.”

Zhang Chengyue said with guilt all over his face: "Yes, master, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

Ou Peng said again: "This is because the teacher didn't give you a good instruction. In the past, he only asked you to practice martial arts. Now he wants to teach you more about the affairs of the gang. You should learn more from your fourth uncle in this aspect, and you must pay more attention in the future. "

Zhang Chengyue nodded in agreement.

Then, Ou Peng said: "The pharmacy hall has refined another batch of elixir from the medicinal materials in the secret land. There are now more than 50 pills in total. Brothers and sisters, after you go back, tell your own disciples to come to Yanwu tomorrow afternoon. Gather in the hall, prepare to go to the secret room to retreat and practice, and you must keep it secret. Also, Cheng Yue, you should also inform your juniors."

Everyone understands.

Ou Peng thought for a while and said, "Cheng Yue, you choose some students with good aptitude from the second and third generation disciples, and come to the meeting hall tomorrow. The core disciples still need to be expanded."

At this time, Shangguan's fourth child interrupted, saying: "Senior brother, the strength of our Misty Sect has also increased greatly, and we should consider how to expand the scope of our strength."

Ou Peng nodded and said, "Yes, this is also one of the topics that called the brothers over today."

Boss Hu suggested: "Fourth brother, the matter of expansion is not something that can be eaten in one bite, so what do you have to say?"

The fourth son of Shangguan said: "I have been thinking about this problem for the past few days, and now I have a little idea."

Ou Peng smiled and said, "Then tell me quickly, who doesn't know that you are the wisdom treasure of our Misty Sect?"

Shangguan Lao Si said: "Actually, this idea is not difficult. I think the first step is to follow the idea of ​​the senior brother, first improve the strength of the core disciples, use these core disciples to form an elite group, assign them to the Foreign Affairs Hall, and implement the strategy of expanding the power." The task, Wan Jianfeng in the south of us is estimated to have greatly increased in strength because of this opportunity, so it is not suitable to fight with them at this stage, and next time the senior brother may form an alliance with them, so we cannot move in the south. The Luoshui gang in the east,

There is also the Golden Crow Gate in the west, which was weaker than us before, but it is a good target for us to attack, but one is in the east and the other is in the west, and if we attack at the same time, it will disperse our strength. "

Ou Peng thought for a while, and said: "Let's make it the Luoshui Gang for the time being. The Jinwumen is on the west side, and the forces are intertwined with Wan Jianfeng. I'm afraid there is collusion with Wan Jianfeng, and maybe Wan Jianfeng is also staring at it." As for them, wait for Yucheng to form an alliance with Wan Jiucheng before inquiring about his words. This Luoshui gang has always been rooted in Luoshui, which is what we lack. Now that they are fledgling, we will eat them first, Shuilu Progressing side by side will bring endless benefits to our Misty Faction."

Boss Hu said, "Third Junior Brother, the waterway is our shortcoming. Why don't we go to the Xinrong faction in the east? After all, the Xinrong faction is not very strong, and we are sure on land."

Ou Peng smiled and said to Boss Hu: "Brother, you and I have been deceived by the low-key of the Xinrong faction. I just got the news that this leader of the Xinrong faction is an abandoned disciple of the law enforcement elder of Dalin Temple. The Xinrong faction is obviously a chess piece that Dalin Temple placed in our Pingyang City and Yucheng City. We can't move around. Besides, although the Luoshui Gang is from the waterway, we will make efforts first. As long as the plan is good, there is hope of success. Still big."

Ou Peng took a sip of tea, and continued: "Besides, our Misty faction has always been on land, and Pingyang City is also sandwiched between Luoshui Gang, Jinwu Gang and Xinrong faction, so there is limited room for development. If we take over The power of the Luoshui gang can use Luoshui to move east and west, which is very beneficial to the development of the gang."

Everyone was also deep in thought.

After half a cup of tea, Shangguan's fourth brother spoke up and said, "Fourth senior brother, according to this line of thinking, I guess I don't have enough people."

Ou Peng said: "I have thought about this for a long time. The development of Misty Sect must have manpower. In the past, our sect focused on excellence. Now that our high-level disciples are growing in strength, the number of low-level disciples is obviously insufficient. How about it, Cheng Yue, you Think about it, recently recruited a group of disciples to enrich the strength of our faction, and you can handle the specific matters."

Zhang Chengyue nodded in agreement.

Then, Ou Peng said to Zhang Chengyue: "Chengyue, you go down first and inform your juniors that you should also take a good rest and prepare to improve your skills tomorrow."

Zhang Chengyue's excited face was blushing, and he retreated with a salute.

Liu Lao Wu hadn't interrupted all this time, and said at this moment: "Isn't it just to improve your skills, seeing you as Yue, you are so excited."

Zhang Chengyue said in his heart: "Grandpa, that's a way to improve your skills. Can I not be excited? I heard that your old man has improved his skills for 20 years. Could it be possible not to be excited?"

Of course, he still said: "Yes, what Uncle Wu taught me is that my nephew should stay calm."

Ou Peng said: "Don't listen to your Fifth Uncle's nonsense, but don't get too excited. When you take the medicine, you have to calmly exercise your skills, otherwise you will ruin the world."

Zhang Chengyue walked out quickly, just wanting to get out of Fifth Master Uncle's gaze.

After Zhang Chengyue walked out of the meeting hall, Ou Peng looked back, smiled and said to Liu Lao Wu: "Fifth Junior Brother, Cheng Yue is a steady kid, don't keep making fun of him."

Xu Lao Liu also said: "Hey, what about others, the fifth child was not the same excited when he took the bone-strengthening pill that day, and when he came out, he had a drink with Shi Niu. If he was not happy, he would be so drunk?"

Liu Laowu blushed, and argued, "I'm absorbing the medicinal properties, and I'm tired from practicing, otherwise how could I not be able to drink the stone cow?"

Everyone laughed.

Then, Ou Peng said to everyone seriously: "Brothers, the medicine taken from the secret place last time has been refined, and in a few days it will be the day when the second dragon rises in February. Our four factions have made an appointment to meet at Wutong Mountain." See you. This time, we will discuss the matter of going to the secret place to get medicine next time, and maybe we will discuss the matter of forming an alliance, what do you think?"

Shangguan's fourth son said: "Senior brother, I think the possibility of this alliance is unlikely."

Ou Peng said, "Why?"

Shangguan Laosi explained: "Of course Wan Jianfeng and our Misty faction can form an alliance. They are all gangs in the Jianghu. They share blessings and difficulties together. However, Yanming Villa and the Tan family, although they are in the Jianghu, basically do not participate in it. Regarding Jianghu affairs, they have no reason and no strength to form an alliance with us."

Ou Peng stroked his chin, thoughtfully, and said: "Of course a superficial alliance is not acceptable. Our four factions cannot explain to other Jianghu factions no matter in terms of development direction, sphere of influence, or gang composition. Announcing the alliance will definitely attract the attention of other sects. At that time, we will lose more than we gain. I prefer a loose alliance, or an alliance between our four gang leaders, rather than an alliance between gangs. In this way, we can share the secret land The secrets of the secret land can also be kept from leaking."

Boss Hu nodded and said, "That's a good idea. The purpose of this alliance is only for Midi and to separate it from the gang's interests. Once any party leaks information about Midi, the other three factions will punish it together."

Ou Peng smiled bitterly and said: "The news has been leaked, there is no need for the other three factions to crusade, there will soon be a bloody storm in the world, so we must seize the time to strengthen our own strength."

Then, Ou Peng turned his head and asked Li's second son who had been keeping his eyebrows low and silent: "Second senior brother, have you read that sword manual?"

Li Lao Er nodded, but was very stingy and didn't reply.

Ou Peng didn't care, and then asked: "Do you think how many of our Piao Miao's existing sword practice disciples can change their practice?"

Second Li also shook his head.

Ou Peng said a little decadently: "Oh, it's really not appropriate to change practice halfway, fourth senior brother, when Cheng Yue recruits disciples, you should also choose some from them, practice this sword manual, and at the same time ask second senior brother to give pointers , it would be best if the second senior brother could accept a few more direct disciples."

Li Laoer nodded in agreement, it seems that since the last time his skills improved greatly, he has been more focused on the practice of swordsmanship, and he doesn't talk much.
