At the top of Tianshan Mountain, there is the main altar of Tianxiahui.

The Tianshan Mountains are not located in the Western Region, but are 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 gang leader's room, Xiongba occupies the main position. Sitting next to him is a man with a white face and beardless body, wearing a bright red dress and a slim figure. He wears a high hat, holds a goose feather fan, stretches out his orchid fingers, and gently touches the gang leader's head.

The black stone in front of you is placed on the chessboard.

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

That man was none other than Wen Chou Chou, the general manager of the Tianxia Club, and also Xiong Ba's exclusive flatterer. When he heard the gang leader's praise, he couldn't help covering his mouth with a goose feather fan and chuckled: "Chou Chou plays chess with a powerful player like the gang leader every day, and his chess skills will naturally improve.

, Chou Chou would like to thank the gang leader for his influence..."

"Report..." A member of the gang strode into the room, bowed and saluted: "To report to the gang leader, the Black Cavalry spies have something urgent to report."

Xiongba turned a deaf ear to such trivial matters in the gang, and just picked up a white piece and placed it gently on the chessboard.

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

Wen Chou Chou looked fussed and walked around the gang leader, showing off his "enchanting" style: "We have lost news of all the spies we sent to Wushuang City. From what I see, 80% of them were manipulated by Dugu Fang.

Framed, this Wushuang City dares to go against Tianxiahui, and it is obviously seeking death. Well, the newspaper also said that they invited a young master named Chen Zhao..."

"Chen Zhao went to Wushuang City?"

Xiongba's mind was slightly shaken, and he slowly lowered the flag in his hand, stood up, and frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. This man's martial arts are so 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 Yifang join forces, then the pressure on the Tianxiahui will be great.

"Gang leader, I haven't finished reading yet." Wen Chou Chou said cautiously.

"Continue reading." Xiongba said calmly.

"Yes!" Wen Chou Chou swallowed, calmed down the fear that arose out of nowhere, and read out the last sentence in the urgent report: "Except for a dozen of his disciples, those who followed Chen Zhao to Wushuang City,

There are also two grandsons of Clay Bodhisattva."

"No wonder!" Xiongba nodded slowly.

This 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 a talent as being alone, but he doesn't know the destiny and doesn't respect the destiny, so

I won’t pay attention to the Clay Bodhisattva.

If you put it this way, this Chen Zhao is very self-aware and knows that sooner or later, I will defeat him with three points of returning vitality.

But now that I haven't accomplished my magic, I don't want to sit back and watch the old thief Dugu go rampant.

If the hard one doesn't work, then use the soft one.

No matter what, we have to invite Clay Bodhisattva.

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

Among the three major disciples of Xiongba, Qin Shuang is the elder brother of Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng. His appearance is far from handsome, and his martial arts skills are the most mediocre among the three disciples of Xiongba. However, he is upright and sincere in treating others.

It is very prestigious in the association.

Compared with Bu Jingyun, who has a fickle personality, and Nie Feng, who is upright and jealous of evil, Qin Shuang is knowledgeable and sensible, and is most suitable for diplomatic work.

As long as Xiongba gives orders, Qin Shuang can compromise and will not provoke the people of 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 would be sad, but he would also put aside his 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 energy, 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 pavilion, Qin Shuang saluted Xiong Ba.

"Well, Shuang'er, my teacher has 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 calmly.

"Oh, Hall Master Shuang, congratulations!" As Xiong Ba's right-hand man, Wen Chou Chou would of course have to say something that the gang leader would not be able to say: "This time when you go to Wushuang City, the gang leader is not asking you to fight, but with the desire for peace.

Go for peace talks, and if everything goes well, we will invite the Clay Bodhisattva who lives in Wushuang City. You must know that Chen Zhao is in Wushuang City, and Hall Master Shuang can only outwit him, 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 this.

Therefore, Xiongba's appointment can be said to be a wise use of people.

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

…

In Wushuang 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 someone like Chen Zhao, who has profound life experience, he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong.

There weren't enough people, the faces of passersby looked hungry, and everyone was not dressed very decently.

This shows that the lives of ordinary people are not very good.

Wushuang City is located in the Central Plains, surrounded by thousands of miles of fertile fields. In recent years, the weather has been good, with abundant food harvests every year, and constant 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, casually entered a restaurant with novel decoration, ordered some wine and food, and was about to sit down and enjoy 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.

"It's possible that some of the bad guys made a mistake. The store has just been open for a month. According to the recruitment list of the City Lord's Mansion and the words of the Chief Manager of the City Lord's Mansion, there is no need to pay taxes for the first six months of operation of the store."

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

"Besides, gentlemen, we have been open for more than a month, but the business is not very prosperous. There are still not many customers coming to our door. Even if we want to pay, we can't do anything for the time being." The manager of the boss on the side also helped.

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

"Bang!" There was a loud sound, startling both 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 my Wushuang City must pay taxes every month! This is a matter of course! If you can't pay, you'll be the loser!"

"The shopkeeper's understanding is that the head 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 one hundred and fifty taels.
