Chapter 681 Empire

Li Banfeng painted clouds at home for two days, and took them outside the house. He used the technique of "Golden House Cangjiao" to turn the painting into reality, but whether it was a cloud or not was another matter.

This texture and touch, to be honest, felt more like cotton.

Moreover, this thing was not very big. The actual area of ​​the clouds painted at first was not even as large as a room in the living room.

Luo Yuni had a special painting method. She could paint a painting several times larger than the area of ​​the room in a room. This operation was not difficult. She only needed to fold the canvas during the painting process. Li Banfeng quickly learned the key points.

But could Li Banfeng control such a large painting with the technique of "Golden House Cangjiao"?

Among many techniques, "Golden House Cangjiao" was not well learned, and this technique consumed a lot of energy.

Li Banfeng finally painted a cloud twice the size of the living room, and carried the painting out with Banfeng Bing, Banfeng Ding and Banfeng Wu.

He tried his best to use the technique, but only half of the cloud turned into a real object, and the remaining half remained in the painting.

Looking at the half cloud, Li Banfeng felt very strange, just like pulling out an object from a certain space,

pulling halfway, it got stuck.

What exactly is that space? Is it the world in the painting?

Li Banfeng reached his hand into the junction of the cloud and the painting, as if he touched some sticky liquid.

What kind of liquid is this?--

Bang!

The cloud that had just formed a solid dissipated, the canvas was completely restored, and the sticky liquid also disappeared. Li Banfeng touched his fingers, leaving no trace.

Controlling half of the cloud only lasted for such a short time. The skill of hiding a beauty in a golden house has too many limitations, and the larger the controlled object, the more difficult it is to maintain.

Whether the clouds made in this way are really practical, there is a big question mark.

Li Banfeng was still thinking about other ways to make clouds, and the projector flew closer: "Director Seven, Luo Zhengnan called, Liao Zihui sent someone to deliver the news, 23,000 people are in place.

Li Banfeng, Qiu Zhiheng, Qin Tianjiu, Luo Zhengnan----a group of people went outside the city to pick them up.

It was a big deal to settle 20,000 people in an orderly manner, and Li Banfeng brought everyone he could trust.

There was a circle of boundaries outside the city of sinners, and all people entering and leaving were strictly checked.

The city gate was wide open, and Liao Zihui gave an order, and a row of searchlights lit up on the top of the city. Under the overlapping of many light spots, a section of the boundary in front of the city gate was covered.

This searchlight is very annoying.

The dark bridge cannon that my wife worked so hard to make is far less useful than these searchlights. Li Banfeng really wants to find out where these searchlights are stored, but he is not so familiar with the structure of the Guanfang Hall.

Can this matter be related to Neizhou? , and then find a way to get a lamp?

Twenty-three thousand people, carrying heavy wooden suitcases, followed Liao Zihui out of the city and formed two square teams.

The people who took photos and videos followed them. Li Banfeng and Liao Zihui had a cordial exchange with a hypocritical smile. After the handover, Liao Zihui immediately returned to the city.

Where these three people were going, Liao Zihui didn't ask a word.

According to Qiu Zhiheng's plan, these two thousand people were sent to Luoxia Mountain.

Compared with other places in Santoucha, Luobo Mountain is safer and has less daylight. Qiu Zhiheng plans to purchase some weapons and then hand these two thousand people over to Tan Jinxiao for training. Soon they will become a decent guard.

But Luo Zhengnan went to invite Tan Jinxiao, but Tan Jinxiao didn't come. The reason he gave was that the business in Haishi was too busy and he couldn't spare time.

Qiu Zhiheng asked Luo Zhengnan: "The business in Renshi is still idle, is the business in Tushi busy? "

Luo Zhengnan said helplessly: "Master Qiu, the people in the underground city know how to do things and know the rules. I haven't encountered anything in Tushi for several days. I don't think Haishi will be much busier than Tushi."

Qin Tianjiu asked: "That's strange. Since it's not so busy, why doesn't Tan Jinxiao come?"

Qiu Zhiheng hesitated to speak, he was trying to figure out the right way to speak.

Li Banfeng thought of something and asked Qiu Zhiheng: "Is Old Tan angry with me because I became a prince?"

This hit the nail on the head.

Qiu Zhiheng said: "Old Tan fought with Neizhou, you know this, and now you are the prince of Neizhou, and you have to help the emperor of Neizhou train a guard. This is really embarrassing for him."

Xiao Yeci was a little dissatisfied: "What's the embarrassment, doesn't he know who the emperor he has to protect is? That's his own man! "

Liangcai could understand Tan Jinxiao: "He knew that the emperor was Juanzi, and he and Juanzi were also very familiar with each other. After all, we fought for our lives together, but the gap in my heart is not so easy to get over."

Li Banfeng was speechless, but he really couldn't blame Lao Tan for this. If it were Li Banfeng, even if he understood the reason, he might not be willing to do this.

"Brother Qiu, first settle these people down, select two hundred with good physique, I will arrange for them to enter the Taoist sect,

train them into elite soldiers,

find a job for the rest of them so that they can support themselves, and pick more people from them, and wait for me to find a good land for you, and use it when you open up wasteland."

Qiu Zhiheng was happy in his heart. Lao Qi promised two major things and gave him both the land and the manpower.

But in addition to being happy, Qiu Zhiheng was also worried about Li Qi: "Lao Qi, these 20,000 people are for the guards. You finally got them from other states, and you can't let them go so easily. "

Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "I don't plan to have an army of 20,000, I just want to cultivate 200 elite soldiers. This is Puluo Prefecture. If the weapons and cultivation of a 20,000 army cannot keep up, they may not be able to fight as well as 200 elite soldiers." ,

We don’t know how to train an army of tens of thousands. We can train one or two hundred people by ourselves. Brother Qiu, if you are too busy, let Tangyuan and Bulb help you. They also know some training methods from other states. "

Qiu Zhiheng nodded, and Luo Zhengnan discussed with Li Banfeng the food and accommodation for the three-headed people.

Li Banfeng repeatedly warned: "We must treat these three-headed people well. Everyone in Sanducha feels that the three-headed people are guilty. Even they themselves feel guilty. This problem must be changed."

Qiu Zhiheng looked at the slowly marching three-headed team. They looked back from time to time, looking at the Sinner City behind them and their relatives in the city.

If they take a sneak peek, they will immediately lower their heads and walk forward silently. In the City of Sinners, everything you do must be approved, and looking around privately will be punished.

A three-headed man turned around and took a second look. His foot slipped and he fell over. The strap of his suitcase broke.

The heavy wooden box almost fell to the ground.

This box is not light. It looks like it weighs more than 200 kilograms. There is a three-headed man behind him who caught the box before it hit the ground.

He motioned to the three-headed man in front of him to move forward and keep quiet to avoid punishment.

Seeing this, Ogawazi said to Qiu Zhiheng: "Brother Qiu, this man is not bad. He has great strength, good physique, and good character."

Qiu Zhiheng nodded: "Ask me what this person's name is and put him on the list."

Duan Shuqun gave the list to He Jiaqing: "Thirteen of them agreed, and they are all on the list. Six of them did not agree, and they were written on the back of the list."

"There are some people who refuse to eat and drink as a penalty. Do you think I can't do anything to them?" He Jiaqing stared at the six people on the back of the famous slip for a long time.

He Jiaqing brought back twenty-one deeds to the new land gods from Dashang Wenyuan Pavilion, one was exchanged with Li Banfeng for Chu Yaoxian, one was sold to Li Haoyun, and there were still nineteen copies left. Find the real owners one by one and prepare to hand over the deed to them.

These people all have some friendship with He Jiaqing. Of course, the deed is not free. These local gods must make a contract and join the Brotherhood in order to get the deed of their own land.

Thirteen earth gods made a contract on the spot, but six others discussed the conditions with He Jiaqing.

They also want the deed, but joining the Brotherhood is not a trivial matter. They have to work hard for the Brotherhood, and they will also offend many werewolves, including people like Li Qi who no one wants to offend.

Naturally, these six local gods did not dare to ask for the deed in vain, so they wanted to discuss the price. Some offered money, some offered magic weapons, and some were even willing to hand over all their life savings to He Jiaqing.

But He Jiaqing doesn't want any of these things.

He traced the names of the six land gods with his fingertips again and again, and said with a chill on his face: "This is the problem that the salesmen have made them accustomed to. If there were not so many messy rules, I would immediately go to their land and contract them." Take back the book and your life."

This is not something I say casually. With He Jiaqing’s strength, if it weren’t for the fear of the salesman’s rules,

He could go to the underworld, kill all these earth gods, and take all six pairs of deeds as his own.

He Jiaqing threw the list aside and laughed mockingly: "It's because of his stupid rules that put a lock on the strong, gave the weak the courage to challenge the strong, and put Puozhou into a state of insecurity. In the midst of endless fighting and chaos.”

Duan Shuqun felt that He Jiaqing had lost his temper.

He Jiaqing really lost his composure. He had been planning for this day for so long that he really couldn't control his emotions.

These six pieces of new land are very important to He Jiaqing. Except for the deeds written by Li Furong and Chu Yaohan, which were unexpected gains, every piece of deed he stole from Neizhou went through a long period of planning, and every piece of deed was carefully planned. It is an important puzzle piece for the grand hegemony.

Puzzle, literally.

He Jiaqing unfolded the map. Counting Chu Yaoxian's land boundary, he had twenty deeds in his hand, and thirteen land boundaries were already in place.

There are still ten pieces in Li Banling's hands. Among them is a piece of Chuyaohan land that He Jiaqing has never heard of. The other nine pieces were carefully selected by He Jiaqing in advance.

After adding these nine land boundaries, a total of twenty-nine new lands were connected to each other, forming a huge territory on the map.

Slowly tracing the map with his fingertips, he erased all the boundaries between the twenty-nine new lands.

He Jiaqing smiled and said: "The new lands originally had no boundaries, but what happens after they become regular lands?"

After asking, He Jiaqing himself gave the answer: "After it becomes the right place, there will be no boundaries."

After becoming the right place, why are there no boundaries?

Duan Shuqun knew this very well.

As long as these twenty-nine land boundaries have the same land god, these boundaries will really disappear.

"Every deed was obtained by me at the risk of my life. This is the empire that belongs to the Brotherhood. This belongs to..."

He Jiaqing didn't say anything further. He smiled, and the hand touching the map trembled a little.

To be honest, Duan Shuqun was a little excited to see such a large area with no boundaries between them.

"Old Duan, go talk to them again," He Jiaqing's fingertips never left the map, "Tell them that what the Brotherhood wants to do will definitely be accomplished. Sooner or later, the result will be the same. Please advise them not to get hurt. Peaceful."

Duan Shuqun left, and He Jiaqing put the map away.

Bai Wuchuan, the leader of the White Crane Gang, walked into the office.

"Mr. He, Shen Jinzhong agreed to attend the banquet tomorrow night, I should be able to persuade him."

He Jiaqing nodded: "Well done, if he agrees, tell him to do something for me, a very small thing."

"What do you want him to do?"

He Jiaqing looked up at Bai Wuchuan, who shuddered. He seemed to ask too many questions.

After looking at each other for a moment, He Jiaqing smiled and said, "I will tell you when he agrees."

Bai Wuchuan left, and Shen Rongqing entered the office: "Jiaqing, you called me?"

He Jiaqing nodded: "There is a man named Li Banling, help me find his whereabouts, he is an orphan, grew up in another state, is a shadow repairer, and has close contacts with Li Qi."

Shen Rongqing nodded: "I will investigate immediately."

After leaving the film company, Shen Rongqing went to Baihua Garden and found Zhang Xiuling.

"Xiuling, I want to have a meal at your house. What time do you think is suitable?"

Zhang Xiuling smiled and said, "Why are you pretending to be nice to me? Do you need to choose a time to have a meal at my house? Tonight is suitable. You can stay here after dinner. It's just right for us to study the next volume of "Yuxiang Ji"."

Shen Rongqing nodded and said, "These are all easy to talk about. I want to invite another person to your house for dinner. Do you think it's convenient?"

Zhang Xiuling's eyes lit up: "Who are you talking about? Is it Li Qi? If Li Qi can come, we won't study "Yuxiang Ji" tonight."

Shen Rongqing shook his head: "It's not Li Qi, it's Li Qi's brother."

"Brother?" The light in Zhang Xiuling's eyes disappeared, "You are not talking about Ma Wu, are you?"

Shen Rongqing was a little embarrassed: "He just came to have a meal."

In fact, Ma Wu also often came to Baihua Garden. He was a fan of Zhang Xiuling's books and respected Zhang Xiuling very much. He didn't do anything inappropriate. It was just that these words came from Shen Rongqing's mouth, which made Zhang Xiuling feel a little strange.

Zhang Xiuling stared at Shen Rongqing from head to toe and looked him over: "It's just a meal. After the meal, he must leave. You can stay, but he must not stay overnight."

Shen Rongqing shook his head and said: "He and I don't eat together. When he comes, I can't come."

Zhang Xiuling was confused: "If you don't come, who will invite Ma Wu?"

Shen Rongqing said: "Ma Wu can't be invited by me, you have to."

Zhang Xiuling was puzzled: "What does it mean? Why should I invite him? What will happen if it gets out?"

Shen Rongqing lowered his voice and said: "This matter can't be spread out, no one can know, you secretly invite him, it's like a private meeting."

Zhang Xiuling frowned and said: "Shen Rongqing, are you here to match Ma Wu? What do you think of me? ”

Shen Rongqing waved his hand and said, "Xiuling, that's not what I meant. ---

"Shut up!" Zhang Xiuling gritted her teeth and said, "If you dare to mention Ma Wu again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Xiuling, I'm doing this for Li Qi!"

The next night, Ma Wu prepared a gift and went to the Hundred Flowers Garden for a banquet.

After losing the Hundred Flowers Gate, Zhang Xiuling concentrated on writing in the Hundred Flowers Garden. She was under the protection of Li Qi and Ma Wu. In fact, Ma Wu could come to the Hundred Flowers Garden openly.

But Zhang Xiuling said that this matter must not be known to anyone, and Ma Wu must keep the appointment in extreme confidentiality.

Ma Wu was very excited to receive such a private invitation from the first talented woman in Provo, but when he arrived at Zhang Xiuling's house, his intuition told him that what Zhang Xiuling was going to do was different from what he thought.

After greeting and sitting down, Zhang Xiuling wrote the word "quiet" and shielded the room.

Zhang Xiuling asked Ma Wu first: "Among Li Qi's friends, there is a man named Li Banling. Do you know him?"

Ma Wu lit a cigarette and looked at Zhang Xiuling and said: "Who wants to ask this question?"

This is definitely not what Zhang Xiuling wants to ask. There should be no intersection between her and Li Banling.

Zhang Xiuling answered truthfully: "Rong Qing asked me to ask this question."

Ma Wu smiled and said: "Although Shen Rongqing is my friend, she is He Jiaqing's person after all. Is it appropriate to ask me this question directly?"

Zhang Xiuling shook her head and said: "It's not appropriate, so I asked you."

Ma Wu frowned: "What's the reason?"

Zhang Xiuling said: "The reason is that Rong Qing will say whatever you say."

Ma Wu understood what Zhang Xiuling meant: "Since he is Lao Qi's friend, then I will ask Lao Qi first?"

Qianyue Building, private room, wine and food are all served.

Bai Wuchuan, the leader of the White Crane Gang, said, "Brother Shen, have you heard about it? He Jiaqing has made contracts for many local gods."

Shen Jinzhong nodded and said, "I heard about it. I originally thought that only Li Qi could do this, but I didn't expect He Jiaqing to have this ability."

Bai Wuchuan lowered his voice and said, "Although the He family is not as good as before, He Jiaqing is a young man from a famous family after all. In terms of how to deal with things and how to be a person, he is different from the gangsters in the rivers and lakes."

Shen Jinzhong smiled, "Brother Bai, are you looking down on the people in the rivers and lakes? Aren't we also people in the rivers and lakes?"

Bai Wuchuan shook his head and said, "We are different. We have a sect and a school, and we have a proper background. We have offered incense to the ancestors and kowtowed. We know the rules and limits of doing things. Do you think he follows the rules? The White Crane Gang is now in charge of the internal leader."

Shen Jinzhong sighed, "This matter is indeed a bit outrageous. I have to talk to Master Qi about it some other day."

"Talk about it?" Bai Wuchuan sneered, "Does it work? Is Li Qi a reasonable person? Qin Tianjiu offended An Zongding and almost lost his life. Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Shen Right? What did Li Qi do at that time? It made Brother Shen suffer a lot!"

Shen Jinzhong sighed: "It's okay not to mention the past."

Bai Wuchuan shook his head slightly: "If Brother Shen doesn't mention it, I'm afraid this matter won't go away. Qin Tianjiu has disappeared again. How long has passed since the last incident at the gold store, but no one can be found. "

"I have made this matter clear to Li Qi."

Bai Wuchuan nodded and said, "My younger brother is talking too much. Since Brother Shen feels that he has made it clear, then he has made it clear."

Bai Wuchuan poured wine for Shen Jinzhong, but Shen Jinzhong looked livid and couldn't eat at all.

"Brother, you invited me here today because you have something else to talk about, right? Qianyue Tower belongs to the He family."

Bai Wuchuan smiled and said: "It's not too important. I just want to bring you a message for Mr. He. If you are willing to join the Brotherhood, we will all be brothers from now on."

Shen Jinzhong frowned and said, "It's fine if I hear this alone. Li Qi and I have a good relationship. You shouldn't say such things in front of me."

Bai Wuchuan smiled: "Brother Shen, I am a more straightforward person. Now I am still friends with Li Qi. Isn't it a bit overestimating my abilities? He has become Prince Pingyuan of Neizhou. Do you think we are still the same as him? Is it your identity?”

Shen Jinzhong smiled: "I am a straightforward person. Now that Li Qi has become the prince, do I have to cling to this high branch?"

Bai Wuchuan sighed: "The cost is too high, I'm afraid you can't afford it. He became the prince of Neizhou. Do you know how many people in Puozhou can't stand it? Do you know how many people want to kill him?"

He is very capable and will not die for a while. The people around him may be implicated by him. Brother Shen, is it worth it to risk your own life to climb a high tree? "

Shen Jinzhong drank two glasses of wine and asked Bai Wuchuan: "What is the relationship between you and He Jiaqing?"

Bai Wuchuan filled up the wine: "Brotherhood, we are all brothers."

Shen Jinzhong said: "In other words, I want to join the Brotherhood. Can you make an introduction to me?"

"It's easy to talk about introductions, but you also know the rules. If you want to rely on the kiln, it's best not to go empty-handed."

Shen Jinzhong smiled: "Sanyingmen is the largest sect in Puluo Prefecture. If I defect to the Brotherhood, how many sects will follow me? Have you calculated this account?"

Bai Wuchuan nodded: "This account must have been settled, but others are others, and you are you. At least do something small for the Brotherhood to show your feelings."

Shen Jinzhong asked: "Just a little thing?"

Bai Wuchuan raised his glass and said, "As long as Brother Shen agrees, I will talk to Mr. He tomorrow. Don't worry.

It's just a small thing. If you think it can't be done and you regret it directly, just treat it as if I never said anything about it. "

After the banquet was over, Bai Wuchuan sent Shen Jinzhong downstairs. Tan Jinle of Yinzhang and Yue Shucai of Tongyin were waiting downstairs. Tan Jinle was originally Qin Tianjiu's boss. When Qin Tianjiu was shorting Tongyin, Tan Jinle was there. To make meritorious service, Li Qi and Shen Jinzhong joined forces, and Tan Jinle also contributed a lot in the middle.

Yue Shucai was Qin Tianjiu's follower, and he was quick and diligent in his work. After Qin Tianjiu was promoted to the Silver Seal, he promoted him to the Bronze Seal.

The two prepared the foreign car, sent Shen Jinzhong into the car, and escorted him all the way to the Jinyin Hall.

Returning to his hall, Tan Jinle sent the others away and said to Yue Shucai alone: ​​"Shucai, something big is going to happen in our gang."

Yue Shucai also felt that something was wrong, but he did not speak directly and asked tentatively: "Master Jin, what do you think is going to happen?"

"The White Crane Gang has been competing with Master Qi recently, and they have a lot of interactions with He Jiaqing. Today he invited Da Jinyin to Qianyue Tower for dinner. What does this mean?"

Yue Shucai thought about it and said, "I also feel strange, why do you have to go to He's place to eat?"

Tan Jinle sighed: "Xiaojiu gave us a good start, it's not easy, don't you think so?"

Yue Shucai nodded: "Yes, it's not easy for Master Jiu."

Tan Jinle looked at Yue Shucai and said, "So, right?'

What is it?

Yue Shu was stunned for a moment.

Tan Jinle patted Yue Shucai and said, "Brother, go home and rest."

Yue Shu just walked out of the hall, and several brothers followed him.

When we reached a fork in the road, Yue Shucai said, "You guys should go back first. I'm sleepy and want to go home and sleep."

The brothers quickly stopped: "Brother Yue, you haven't eaten yet this evening. We have ordered a table of wine at Yao's Restaurant and are waiting for you to come with us."

"I'm not hungry."

"It doesn't matter if you're not hungry. You can do something else. We've found girls who can sing."

"I can't do it tonight, you can just go and have fun." Yue Shucai took two pieces of ocean and sent the brothers away.

After detouring two streets, we went to Qin Tianjiu's residence.

After knocking twice, the door opened and there was no one behind it.

Yue Shucai plucked up the courage and walked into the yard. After passing the empty front yard, he entered the main yard and finally saw a woman in green clothes with a cold face, looking at him.

If it had been someone else, he would have been really scared to death.

But Yue Shucai was familiar with Qin Tianjiu, and knew that Qin Tianjiu's family had no maids, but only a daughter-in-law named Feng Yuqiu.

"Sister-in-law, I have something to tell Brother Ninth."

Feng Yuqiu turned around and led Yue Shucai into the living room.

She took out a phone from the back room, dialed the number, and handed it to Yue Shucai.

Li Banfeng arrived at Luobo Mountain, settled the three heads, and had a meal with Qiu Zhiheng and Qin Tianjiu.

After eating and drinking, Li Banfeng was holding the newly painted clouds and was about to go to the sky when the phone rang.

When he picked up the phone, it was Ma Wu who called: "Seventh Brother, He Jiaqing asked Shen Rongqing to find out about Li Banling.

Shen Rongqing asked Zhang Xiuling to find me. How can I reply to her?"

Li Banfeng said without hesitation: "Tell him that Li Banling is an orphan who grew up with me and is now an ordinary worker in another state."

Ma Wu had seen "Li Banling" and felt that things were not that simple: "Seventh Brother, this matter cannot be dealt with casually. I suspect that He Jiaqing is testing Shen Rongqing. Shen Rongqing risked her life to send us a letter. We can't cheat her."

Li Banfeng said: "Don't worry, this is all the truth. Let Shen Rongqing tell He Jiaqing, I There are nine deeds waiting to be sold. Just say that Zhang Xiuling found out about this from me. "

After hanging up the phone, Li Banfeng immediately found Luo Zhengnan: "Get me a pass. I'm leaving Santoucha tonight."

Before the pass was issued, Qin Tianjiu found Li Banfeng: "Seventh brother, something happened to Sanyingmen."

He told Yue Shucai what he saw and heard tonight, and Qiu Zhiheng's heart sank: "Not good, Sanyingmen is too powerful, and this will involve many gangs. He Jiaqing has been hesitant, why is he so ruthless this time? "

"He did it for the deeds." Li Banfeng rubbed his forehead. Now he couldn't care about the affairs of Sanyingmen.

Qin Tianjiu said: "Seventh Brother, ask Lao Luo to get an extra pass, and leave the matter of Sanyingmen to me."

Qiu Zhiheng shook his head and said: "This matter is not easy to handle, I will go with you."

Qin Tianjiu waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Qiu, you are too famous, if you go to Green Water City, this matter will be difficult to handle.

Seventh Brother, I know the rules of Sanyingmen. Your brother and I have not been in vain in the past two years. Even if I am not good enough, I still have the fifth brother to take care of me. You just wait for my news."

PS: Tan Jinle and Yue Shucai are characters when Qin Tianjiu served as the empty code copper seal, and they appeared in Chapter 258.
