Chu Longtu didn't listen to the middle-aged man's words at all. He gently took out a golden needle and pricked several acupuncture points on the little girl's bleeding body. The bleeding quickly stopped.

But the bruises and bruises all over his fair body still looked shocking, causing Chu Longtu's pupils to shrink to the size of a pinhead.

The dying little girl managed to keep her eyes open. Her big clear eyes looked at Chu Longtu in panic and fear, and her body kept shaking.

Even though Chu Longtu did not do any dangerous work to her and even treated her injuries, the girl still seemed to have seen a savage beast and tried to move back, not daring to have any contact with Chu Longtu.

Chu Longtu's hand stretched out to help the girl up froze in mid-air. The silent question in the girl's clear eyes deeply hurt his heart.

What did she do wrong? Why should she suffer such terrible abuse at such a young age?

Chu Longtu was speechless. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly raised his right hand and gently touched the girl's neck artery.

The right amount of power made the girl faint in an instant, and she was completely freed from the endless hell that had exerted endless fear on her, and her whole body relaxed.

Chu Longtu took the golden needle again and gently inserted a few needles into several acupuncture points on the girl's head. After giving her some guidance, he slowly stood up and looked up at the middle-aged man coldly.

The middle-aged man looked at Chu Longtu without fear, with a faint sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his face looked confident.

Secretary Han, a young man in Tang suit who was standing behind, unconsciously took two steps forward, and the big men who followed him tensed up even more, tightly surrounding Chu Longtu and threatening to fight at any time.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room became extremely chilling and depressing, as if there were cold ice picks pressing on everyone's skin, chilling them to the bone.

However, Chu Longtu seemed unaware. Even Hu Zi, who was lying in his arms, didn't even raise his eyes to look at the middle-aged man. He still slept soundly with his eyes closed.

"your name."

Chu Longtu spoke to break the silence.

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and immediately understood what Chu Longtu meant.

If two parties are at war, they must at least know the identity of the enemy before declaring war.

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth raised slightly, and his face was suddenly covered with a layer of indescribable pride and scorn.

"Pei's family in Hedong, Pei Heyuan."

When the middle-aged man revealed his identity, the young man in Tang suit standing behind him and the big men surrounding Chu Longtu involuntarily puffed up their chests, their faces full of pride, as if they were all honored because of the middle-aged man's identity. So general.

Chu Longtu finally understood who his opponent was this time, and his eyes widened slightly.

Hedong, Pei family?

Hedong is naturally the area east of the river.

The great river of thousands of miles has turned a corner here, leaving its soul here, and at the same time, it has nourished a land with rich water and soil, outstanding people and outstanding people.

The entire Hedong area, including more than ten cities including Luocheng and Hedong, is very vast.

In such a vast area, it is inevitable that many wealthy families will breed.

The Jiang family, the Chu family, and other families that were once considered wealthy in Jiangdong were just ordinary people compared to the wealthy families that dominated the entire Hedong region, and there was no comparison at all.

Even the Qin family in Luocheng, a century-old martial arts family, can only barely be regarded as the last of the first-tier families in Hedong.

And the Hedong Pei family is a truly wealthy family that can rank among the top three in Hedong!

Without looking at anything else, the list alone is enough to exaggerate the Pei family's immense power and wealth.

There are twenty-three members of the Hedong Joint Council that governs the entire Hedong region. They are the ones who stand at the top of the entire Hedong area.

Their will runs through every aspect of the lives of the 30 million people in the Hedong region.

Among the twenty-three members, two are named Pei, and three are in-laws of the Pei family!

One-fifth of the entire parliament belongs to the Pei family, which is enough to illustrate the Pei family's power.

As for wealth, there is no need to mention it.

Pei's Medicine, a subsidiary of the Pei family, is the leading pharmaceutical company in Hedong, and Pei's Investment Bank is also one of the top three financial giants in Hedong. The family's wealth is so rich that it is almost impossible to describe it in words and numbers!

How could Chu Longtu not have heard of such a Xuanhe family?

Even before he went up the mountain, he was aware of the name of the Pei family and even longed for it.

But until today, this was the first time Chu Longtu knew that the Pei family was actually related to the Martial Alliance!

Prior to this, although the Pei family was powerful and wealthy, they had never shown anything to do with martial arts, let alone anything to do with the Martial Alliance!

Chu Longtu immediately remembered the greeting card that Jiang Songshan sent to his door. The post was clearly the internal format of the Martial Alliance, and it also had the unique badge mark of the Martial Alliance. Only the middle and high-level members of the Martial Alliance could use it. Absolutely You can’t do anything fake!

After the two facts were confirmed, Chu Longtu suddenly understood and spoke slowly.

"I didn't expect the Pei family to hide so deeply."

"Obviously he is a high-level member of the Wu Meng, but he has not disclosed his relationship with the Wu Meng to the outside world at all for so many years, and has kept it deeply hidden."

"It seems that the ambitions of the Pei family are far beyond what Hedong can carry."

"Awesome, I admire you."

Chu Longtu spoke of admiration, but there was no expression on his face at all. Coupled with his indifferent tone, it seemed more like he was mocking Pei Heyuan and the Pei family.

Pei and Yuan's expressions suddenly darkened slightly when they heard this. Secretary Han behind him and the subordinates around him became even more angry. They were about to rebuke Chu Longtu, but Pei and Yuan raised their hands to suppress them.

The smile on Pei Heyuan's face completely disappeared, he stared at Chu Longtu closely and said coldly.

"Now that you know my identity, you should also know my purpose."

"Yes, I sent people to attack your forces, including the attack on the Yu family and the pursuit of Xiao Ziyun, all of which were my personal orders."

"And you should know very well what I want."

Pei Heyuan paused for a moment, looked down at Chu Longtu and said calmly.

"Hand over the martial arts secrets of breakthrough energy, kneel down and swear allegiance to me, and you and your people can live in peace and stability."

After saying that, Pei Heyuan stopped talking and looked at Chu Longtu with confidence.

He never thought that Chu Longtu would refuse.

Who in Hedong can refuse the Pei family's solicitation?

Being favored by the Pei family and being a dog for the Pei family is already a supreme honor. How could you refuse!

As for whether Chu Longtu would still be hostile to him and reject the Pei family's kindness because of the incident with the little girl just now, Pei and Yuan didn't care at all.

He believed that Chu Longtu would make the right choice in the face of the Pei family's strength and status.
