Star Trace Gate

Horse racing gang, backyard.

"Bulao Mountain, Funan County, Master Guanfeng..."

Ren Ye muttered a few key words, then walked to Yan Bo's side and said politely, "Brother Yan, I say hello."

Yan Bo was talking to a master from the headquarters. When he heard what Ren Ye said, he turned around and said, "Qin Yan conspired with others to ambush you here. This is no different from rebellion for my Qianli Green Camp. Since King Huai has already asked the reason, you can deal with these people from the Horse Racing Gang."

He was really good at chatting. With just one sentence, he showed how much the Qianli Green Camp valued Qingliang Mansion. But during the conversation, he only used the word "you" to address Ren Ye, instead of "Your Highness" or "Your Highness", which also showed that he was communicating with him on behalf of the Dragon Head, and the status of both parties was equal.

"Thank you, Brother Yan, for your kindness and for saving our lives." Ren Ye immediately clasped his fists and replied, "I am grateful for your kindness. If one day, my Qingliang Prefecture has a vast territory and can allow the horses of the southern border to run freely, I will definitely ask the brothers of Qianli Green Camp to open a branch office in the local area so that we can communicate more and establish eternal friendship."

Who wouldn’t say such nice words?

When it comes to making promises, he is at the level of a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts; when it comes to talking about the future, even Jesus would have to pay 100,000 star sources before entering Qingliang Mansion.

In this regard, Ren has never been defeated by anyone.

Yan Bo smiled when he heard this and said, "It is an honor for King Huai to think highly of people like us from the Green Forest."

Ren Ye looked at this old fox, and suddenly pulled his sleeve in an ambiguous manner: "Brother Yan, can I have a word with you?"

Yan Bo was startled for a moment, then walked over to him and asked, "What do you want to tell King Huai?"

"Hehe, my sworn brother Fatty Wu has talked to me about Brother Yan in private several times, saying that you are very righteous, you value the moral principles of the martial arts world, and you value feelings, which makes me want to make friends with you." Ren Ye clasped his fists and said, "I heard that Brother Yan doesn't have any other hobbies, but he likes some antique calligraphy and paintings, and rare magic weapons. After this matter is over, you must come to Qingliang Mansion in person. I just got a fairy bamboo treasure some time ago, which is the thing that suppresses the Nine Bends of the Styx. Later... I will give you two bamboo leaves, which are said to prolong your life."

If Jiuqu Qingyunzhu heard this, he would probably curse on the spot. Damn it, he had suffered so much following King Huai. He had just arrived at the new home when an old man borrowed his bamboo to do some hard work. Now before he could return it, his leaves had also been sold. He probably had to cut the bamboo into pieces and sell it in a few days.

When Yan Bo heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Is there really such a treasure in the world?"

"Yes, yes. I have another small tripod, known as the Dragon Tripod, which can be used to plunder luck. I will scoop two scoops for Brother Yan later." Ren also winked at him.

"Hahaha, Your Highness is too polite." Communication between adults is so simple and unpretentious. After just two sentences, Yan Bo's way of addressing him has changed.

"It's too distant to call you His Highness. Let's just call each other brother from now on." Ren Ye said this, and then lowered his voice and said, "However, I hope Brother Yan can say a few good words to the Dragon Head about the matter that Brother Wu discussed with you."

"Okay, okay, haha." Yan Bo was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

In fact, he didn't know what Ren Ye was talking about at the moment, because Fatty Wu first looked for Bau and had not yet discussed the expansion of territory with him.

However, Yan Bo did not intend to ask, and only pretended to be stupid and said something vaguely. Because if he made it clear here, he was afraid that Ren Ye would make excessive demands on him, and then he would be in a dilemma whether to agree or not. On the contrary, with someone like Fatty Wu mediating, everyone would be very comfortable.

The main thing is...the price is negotiable!

The two chatted for a while and got closer. Then Ren asked, "Brother Yan, is it possible that Gang Leader Qin lied to me?"

When it came to the point, Yan Bo said seriously: "No, his family members are all under our control, so the probability of deceiving you is not high. Besides, he is just a small bandit leader who has been bribed, with only a hundred people under his command. This kind of person likes gambling and does things only for profit. It is difficult for him to swear allegiance to anyone. Now that things have come to this, there is no need to give up the whole family for the sake of keeping secrets."

"That's good." Ren Ye nodded slowly.

"What are you going to do with them?" Yan Bo asked.

Ren Ye thought for a while, looked up at Boss Qin and others kneeling on the ground, and suddenly shouted: "Little Bat, they are in your hands."

Not far away, the little bat that had just taken a little water of life was stunned for a moment when it heard Ren Ye's call, and then its eyes became complicated, even a little confused.

"Kill them all, kill them all for revenge!"

Before Little Bat could say anything, Chi Lian, who was accompanying him, had completely lost his composure. His face flushed red, and he pointed at Boss Qin and some of the leaders of the Horse Racing Gang and shouted, "Don't let any of them go, kill them all!"

The leaders of the Horse Racing Gang who were kneeling on the ground and participating in the ambush with Gang Leader Qin, all became nervous and turned pale with fear when they heard Chi Lian's shouting.

"Boss, little bat!" Chi Lian turned his head to look at the crowd and almost shouted, "Didn't you hear what the Second Master told you to do? He told you to handle it yourself."

The little bat gritted his teeth and looked at Boss Qin with a hesitant expression.

"Damn it, they were brothers in the past, aren't we?!" Chi Lian's emotions had collapsed. He pointed at the skinny monkey's body that had been torn apart by the white wolf on the ground, and almost jumped up and shouted: "Look at him! One day ago, he was drinking with us; one day later, he was roasted and fed to animals. What kind of brotherhood is there?! When it comes to interests, it's your eldest brother who wants to kill you; when you are in a desperate situation, it's the little stutterer lying in a cloth bag who tells you the news!"

His shout was shrill, every word was piercing to the ear and every sentence was heartbreaking.

The little bat looked up woodenly towards the center of the battlefield. The skinny monkey's body had been gnawed into a bloody mess and was now lying in the dust. He would never be able to drink with him at night again, eat and brag, and talk about women.

"brush!"

He came to his senses and woodenly picked up a steel knife from the ground.

Gang leader Qin knelt on the ground with disheveled hair, looked up at the little bat, and gritted his teeth and said, "These brothers below live in this remote and desolate place. They don't know where their three meals will come from tomorrow. Their heads are hanging on their necks and they don't know when they will be chopped off. They have no control over life and death, so who can they decide?! This matter was proposed and planned by me alone, and it has nothing to do with them. If you hate me, just kill me."

The little bat looked at him blankly and replied blankly, "I have no father or mother, no wife or children. The only people I can rely on are these close friends who followed me. What did they do wrong? Why did they have to be pierced by arrows and roasted by bonfires?! I used to be your brother, and now I have my own brothers. If you can't even die with your eyes open, what's the point of me being your big brother?!"

When Gang Leader Qin heard this, he replied with a very ironic expression: "Little Bat, you keep talking about morality and brotherhood, but what about you and me? If I hadn't taken you in, you would have starved to death in the wilderness. You stole the general's money, and if I hadn't been lying on the ground like a dog begging for you, how could you hold the knife with both hands today?! You are a cripple, let alone recognize that fat man as your godfather. If you talk about love, how can you return my life and hands to me?"

The shouts were loud and lasted for a long time.

The little bat looked at him quietly, holding the knife in both hands, and said woodenly: "Today, you wanted to kill me several times first, and I persuaded you later. I didn't die, so my life was returned to you. Today you brought up the past, saying that you knelt on the ground like a dog and begged the general to spare me. That's right, I haven't forgotten it until now, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life."

"Gudong!"

The little bat suddenly bent his knees and knelt on the ground, shouting with a dull expression: "I kneel to you, because you protected me like a dog. I am breaking my hand to repay you for your kindness in keeping me healthy, so that I can be appreciated by my adoptive father."

"Brother, look carefully. I'm placing this hand in front of you."

"From now on, the people of the Cut Robe Village will cut their robes, and the horse racing gangs will be cut off from loyalty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little bat raised his knife.

Ren was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward and shouted urgently: "No, brother, you are a tiger...!"

"puff!"

He held the knife in his right hand and pointed it upward, and the blade flashed past.

A severed left hand at the wrist fell to the ground and was instantly soaked in dry soil, turning a bright red.

"Uh……!"

The little bat held the knife in his right hand and leaned on the ground, blood gushing from the broken wrist of his left hand.

Chi Lian was confused, Yao Chi was confused, Lao Liu was confused, and even Gang Leader Qin, who was using the moral principles of the underworld to coerce Little Bat, was confused.

He was shaking with pain, but he didn't howl. He just raised his head slowly and looked at Boss Qin with bloodshot eyes: "Southern Xinjiang witchcraft is strange and unpredictable, with many types. In order to prevent me from finding magical powers in the future and regenerating my severed limbs..."

"At this moment, I swear by my life-definition Gu - if I, the little bat, one day take the initiative to regenerate my own severed limbs, then the poison will rot my whole body and I will die, and I will never be able to reincarnate!"

"......!" Gang leader Qin had a blank look in his eyes and said nothing.

"boom!"

After the little bat swore the oath, a bat mark flashed between his eyebrows and disappeared in a flash.

"I've paid you back what I owe you."

He stood up with his sword in hand, tears welling up in his eyes, and said word by word: "At this moment, you are Boss Qin, and I am Little Bat. You killed my brother, and you must pay with your life!"

When Gang Leader Qin heard this, his eyes became extremely empty, his expression was wooden, and he inexplicably felt a sense of shame in his heart.

He used moral blackmail on the little bat to protect everyone, but he also had his own reasons.

If these people were not dead, they might be able to take care of their wives and children in the future, give them some money, and perhaps even leave a good reputation after death.

But the little bat's behavior not only left him speechless, but also made him realize that the other party might still be the reckless and honest little brother.

Gang Leader Qin said no more, and only said softly: "You haven't changed, but I have. There is nothing to say... Let's do it..."

"Anyone holding a knife today will die!"

"puff!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little bat chopped off Boss Qin's head without any hesitation.

After the heads fell, the massacre began.

Chi Lian picked up two steel knives from the side and killed from the left to the right. Along the way, more than 20 small leaders who participated in the ambush tonight were all killed.

Unlike the little bat, he has no feelings for the people here, only overwhelming hatred.

There were four brothers when they came, and only two were left when they left.

The stutterer was killed by an arrow piercing his heart, and the skinny monkey was roasted and fed to the white-haired wolf.

Who is not involved here? Who is the truly innocent person?

Damn it all!

After a long time, the Horse Racing Gang was flooded with blood. Except for those gang members who were not up to the standard, all the others were slaughtered.

At the end of the killing, Chi Lian sat on the ground in a daze, holding the skinny monkey's body and crying loudly. The little bat also sat there in a daze.

They have never read any books of sages, nor do they know what words to use to explain this kind of brotherhood. They only feel the pain of losing their loved ones.

Not far away, a master from the headquarters witnessed all this and said softly, "Fatty Wu acted so wickedly that the wife and concubine of the sworn brother wailed in his room all day long, but they never thought that his adopted son was a man who valued friendship and loyalty."

"You only saw how Fatty Wu made my sister-in-law wail, but you didn't see how Boss Lu got along with him before." Yao Chi said calmly, "Everyone has two sides. Don't talk about things you don't know."

"...My sister-in-law is also lonely in her boudoir, but it's not a big deal." The foxy girl yawned.

When Yan Bo heard this, he immediately asked, "Mei'er... do you often feel lonely?"

The foxy girl rolled her eyes, her features showing a variety of charms: "Oh? You don't even look for an old man when you're lonely... You're useless and talk too much."

Yan Bo scratched his nose awkwardly and said no more.

Not far away, Ren also saw the tragic death of Gang Leader Qin and others, but he still couldn't feel any sympathy, because even if the little bat didn't do it, he would do it.

This person caused hundreds of thousands of people in Qingliang Prefecture to suffer from the threat of plague. How can he be a good person?

If you say a few kind words before you die, can you clear yourself of guilt?

Bullshit!

Ren Ye ignored the corpse, walked over to Yan Bo, and asked softly, "It's 600 miles to Funan. How long does it take at the fastest speed?"

Yan Bo was stunned for a moment: "Why do you ask?"

"Just now, Gang Leader Qin told me that Song Yi has a biological brother named Song Xing." Ren Ye frowned and said, "These two have been here before, helping a man named Master Guanfeng. After learning that I was coming, they left Song Yi and Gang Leader Qin to set an ambush, while Song Xing rushed to Funan to do something for Bulao Villa against Qingliang Mansion. I want to chase this man, and now."

Yan Bo was silent.

"Tonight, our Qianli Green Camp has mobilized so many troops to encircle and suppress the horse racing gang in Gepao Township. I think this matter cannot be kept secret. Soon, the Bulao Villa will know that Song Yi and Gang Leader Qin's ambush has failed, and they may urgently recall Song Xing." Ren Ye immediately added: "So, if we can rush to Funan as quickly as possible, we may be able to capture a person alive. Most importantly, I want to know what Bulao Villa is planning against Qingliang Prefecture."

Yan Bo thought for a moment and said, "If we use the bald eagle to deliver the message and order the headquarters to dispatch a few blue forest birds, we can reach Funan at about 3 pm. If we order the spies at the headquarters to investigate, we can find out about Song Xing if all goes well."

"That would be the best," Ren Ye said with a fist, "Brother Yan, please help me with this matter."

"Okay." Yan Bo thought for a moment and said, "Funan is not the territory of my Qianli Green Camp. If we encounter danger there, it will be difficult to get out. How about this, I will bring the two disciples and go with you."

Ren Ye's eyes lit up, and he immediately promised: "When this matter is settled, I will definitely send you four leaves of Nine-bend Green Cloud Bamboo."

"And I have two pots of luck." Yao Chi added from the side.

Old Liu paused for a moment after hearing this, then interrupted, "Send the Buddha to the west, and I'll give you another 200 million life essences."

Yao Chi's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "What are 200 million life essences?"

“…a treasure for reproducing offspring.”

"Brother, once you make a promise, you must not break it!"

"When you go to Qingliang Mansion and find a place to ask for help, I will give it to you." Old Liu said mysteriously, "It's useless for me to keep it..."

……

Funan, inside an inn.

A young man with a simple and honest appearance was sitting on the bed, carefully wiping a silver knife, and said with a smile: "...Hey, we're almost back."

.....................

Thank you for your concern. I have seen all the messages. I have made some friends over the years. I feel much better after reading today. I wrote one chapter in the afternoon and continued to take medicine and go to bed early at night. I will update as usual tomorrow morning.
