Things went smoothly. After Ito Cheng showed enough "sincerity", Fan Zhuo represented the Sichuan Gang, and Feng Zhen, Jiao Luofeng, Chuan Mouxun, and Sina represented the Ba League and formally agreed to join Ito Cheng's forces and helped him complete the task. The unification work of Bashu.

Among them, Sina will return to the Heyi Sect afterwards to persuade her master, Xia Miaoying, known as the Great Grandmother, to join Ito Cheng's forces.

As for why they didn't suspect that what Ito Cheng said was false, after taking out the magical contract scroll, Fan Zhuo and the others basically no longer believed that Ito Cheng was lying. Just like martial arts masters, they generally don't lie. Same, no need! What's more, the contract scroll also specifically states that if Ito Cheng refuses to eat what he said, all the terms of the contract will take effect immediately, so there is no need to worry about any trouble afterwards.

Now that the Sichuan Gang and Bameng were settled, Ito Cheng was naturally not polite and immediately invited them to use the excuse of discussing the future of the Bashu region to send invitations to Xie Hui of Duzunbao and Huo Qingqiao of Sichuan South Gambling House, inviting them to meet tomorrow afternoon. Meet.

Itocheng believed that even if Xie Hui was arrogant, he would not refute Fan Zhuo and Feng Zhen, and would definitely come to the appointment on time, and Huo Qingqiao would definitely accept Sina's invitation for Xia Miaoying's sake. , arrived on time, so after arranging things, Ito Cheng took Wei Zhenzhen, Fu Junzhuo and An Long and Zuo Youxian to say goodbye and left, returning to the small courtyard in the backyard of Anjiapu to rest. Continue to study the contents of the Book of Heavenly Demons belonging to the original Taoist lineage of Laojun Zhenzhuan...

Then the next day, when the time was right, he took Wei Zhenzhen, Fu Junzhuo, An Long, and Zuo Youxian to the agreed place again, together with Fan Zhuo of the Sichuan Gang, Fengzhen Bameng, Jiao Luofeng, and Chuan Mouxun who had already arrived there. , Sina and others gathered together.

At this time, in addition to acquaintances like them, there was another strange middle-aged man in the agreed place.

"Let me introduce you..." Meiji Sina, who was dressed in a gorgeous Jordi costume, said with a slight smile on her face, "This is Huo Qingqiao, Uncle Huo from the South Sichuan Gambling House." [

"This is General Wuweiying, the current actual owner of Chang'an, Mr. Chen Xicheng." Then, Sina pointed to the pair of Ito Nari beside her, who was wearing crimson brocade clothes. Neither tall nor short, just a normal person. The middle-aged man with slightly bronzed skin, slightly raised corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and slightly narrowed eyes that made it difficult to guess what he was thinking.

Hearing Ito Cheng's name, Huo Qingqiao's face moved slightly. He looked thoughtfully at the other people on the side. Some people probably understand the meaning of the word meeting.

"Long time admiration. Long time admiration." Although he had other thoughts in his heart, his movements were not slow at all. He immediately stood up and clasped his fists and smiled at Ito Cheng.

"I'm taking the liberty to invite you. Please don't be weird, boss." Ito Chengya said politely with a fake smile on his face.

"Master Chen is overly worried. I have long wanted to get to know Master Chen. Zhengchou has never had the chance. This invitation has fulfilled Huo's wish." Huo Qingqiao said politely, lowering his attitude.

"Master Huobo is too polite..." Ito Cheng said with a fake smile.

Then he turned around and scanned the surroundings. After he didn't find the man suspected of being Xie Hui, he frowned slightly and said, "Isn't the Fortress Master here yet?"

"I'm probably stuck for something, I guess I'll arrive later." Fan Zhuo said quietly with an expression on his face.

"Is there something you can't get away from? Haha~ As expected of the Lord of the Castle, you have such a big air." Zuo Youxian, who is a member of the Demon Sect, sneered.

"What? Is Master Zuo dissatisfied with Xie?" As soon as Zuo Youxian finished speaking, a magnetic and deep male voice suddenly came from outside the hospital and said loudly.

Hearing these words, Zuo Youxian's expression changed slightly, and he turned around with twinkling eyes and looked at the man outside the courtyard who was walking proudly and slowly under the guidance of Xiao Si.

The man looked to be in his forties, with a white beard, a handsome face, and a pair of dark eyes as deep as stars, but his expression exuded a cold and arrogant air. Even with his tall and straight body, he gave people a A strange kind of masculine charm, but it also makes people get close to him.

Needless to say, this person is the number one in Bashu power, the sworn brother of Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, and the sole master of the fortress known as the martial arts judge in the world - Xie Hui.

But having said that, Xie Hui also has impressive capital. In his early years, Xie Hui was just like all other living beings. He was a member of the ordinary people. He had a prominent family and a rich family background. He was able to reach his current position entirely by punching and kicking. Pure and authentic rich generation!

"How can a mere poor man dare to be dissatisfied with the fortress master?" Zuo Youxian said with a mocking look on his face. [

Xie Hui's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he stared at Zuo Youxian with an expression on his face. An aura began to gradually release as he moved around.

"What a big grievance. If Taoist Master Zuo is dissatisfied with Xie, you can just draw a line and I, Xie Hui, will take over." Xie Hui said with a cold expression.

"Okay." Just when Zuo Youxian wanted to say something else, Ito Cheng immediately frowned and shouted.

Zuo Youxian's expression paused when he heard this. He swallowed the words he wanted to say obediently and stood aside with his eyes lowered.

Seeing the changes in Zuo Youxian, whether it was Fan Zhuo, Feng Zhen and other leaders of the Bamong and Sichuan Gangs, Huo Qingqiao of the South Sichuan Gambling House, and Xie Hui who gradually walked into the house, they were all shocked and started to think again. I looked up Ito Cheng, trying to see what kind of magic power he had that could make this Demon Sect Priest so honest and obedient.

"I've heard about the name of Lord Jie for a long time, but when I saw him today, his style is indeed far better than the famous one." Ito Cheng looked at the people around him and praised him with a false smile on his face and clasped his fists.

"General Chen, you're welcome." Xie Hui raised his head, clasped his fists, and returned a simple salute. He said in an indifferent tone, and accepted Ito's compliment without any politeness.

At this time, the people from Bameng and Sichuan Gang came to their senses and greeted Xie Hui one after another. They led him into the room and sat down around the round table.

"I wonder why General Chen invited Xie to come here." After the greetings, Xie Hui asked straight to the point.

The words fell. There was silence in the room, waiting for Ito Cheng's answer.

"The reason why Mr. Tuofan, Feng Lao, Sina and others invited Lord Jie and Lord Huo to meet here this time is very simple. I want them to join me and help me govern Bashu." Ito Cheng He smiled happily.

"You?" Xie Hui asked.

"It's me." Ito Cheng smiled.

"Since we can get Fan Zhuo and Feng Zhen to come forward and invite me, An Long and Zuo Youxian to accompany me, then I guess they have agreed to your recruitment and become your subordinates." Xie Hui nodded, and then looked at He glanced at Zuo Youxian, Anlong, Fan Zhuo, Feng Zhen, Jiao Luofeng, Chuan Mouxun and Sina and said.

"Not bad." Ito Cheng nodded and confirmed.

Others also smiled, nodded slightly, or acknowledged it silently.

"It's a good time to get out of the Hongmen Banquet." Xie Hui sneered.

Ito Cheng smiled slightly. No answer.

"Tell me your conditions. Let me see what you plan to use to bribe me." After quietly watching Ito Chengxu for a moment, Xie Hui leaned his body on the back of the chair and said softly.

"If the Lord of the Fortress is willing to join my service, I will treat him as the Lord of Yizhou." Ito Cheng replied softly.

"What if I don't agree?" Xie Hui asked noncommittally.

Ito Cheng had already anticipated this problem. As for Xie Hui, who still has a love for Fan Qinghui, the master of Cihang Jingzhai. Even if it is in vain. He is also willing to help Fan Qinghui wherever he can. Just like in the original work, even if the four major tribes of Bashu and Bashu were forced by Song Que to turn over to the Song clan by force, he would still prepare to lead the people of Duzunbao to surrender to the Lord of Destiny chosen by Cihang Jingzhai - Li Shimin.

"What would the castle master do if he were in my position?" Ito Cheng asked with a half-smile.

Xie Hui immediately narrowed his eyes when he heard this. A cold light flashed from the depths of his eyes.

"Master Huobo, what do you think?" Ito Cheng ignored Xie Hui, but turned to look at Huo Qingqiao, who had not said a word since the meeting began, and asked.

"It seems that Huo's weight is not as good as yours, Mr. Chen." Huo Qingqiao chuckled.

"Brother Huo is too modest. If I can't even look down on Sichuan Nan Gambling House, which controls the eight-story casino and brothel business south of Bashu, then I, Chen Xicheng, am too arrogant, right?" Ito Cheng asked in a deep voice.

The smile on Huo Qingqiao's face paused when he suddenly heard the secret that Ito Cheng had controlled 80% of the brothel business. His eyes flickered towards Ito Cheng.

Ito Cheng didn't say anything, and just looked at Huo Qingqiao with a smile on his face.

"It seems that I have no choice." Huo Qingqiao turned to look at Fan Zhuo who was bowing his head and saying nothing, Feng Zhen who was smoking a hookah in a daze, An Long who was smiling, and Zuo Youxian who had his eyes downcast as if he was wandering the world. Several people sighed in a low voice with some wry smiles.

"Master Huo is indeed a smart man." Ito Cheng smiled upon hearing this, then turned over his hand and took out a contract scroll prepared in advance and handed it to Huo Qingqiao.

"Since Master Huo agrees, let's put the villain first and then the gentleman, and ask Master Huo to sign the contract scroll." Ito Cheng said with a smile.

Huo Qingqiao took the contract scroll without hesitation and looked down at it.

The content of the contract scroll can be said to be very simple. There is even one core rule. Agree to join Ito Cheng's forces and not violate, betray, or damage Ito Cheng's interests by any means or methods. Violators will be burned with open fire. The evil of the body! As for the rest, there are some small rules and the specific method of signing the contract scroll...

"Is Lord Jie still prepared to stick to his previous choice?" Ito Cheng, who ignored Huo Qingqiao who was looking at the contract scroll, turned to look at Jie Hui and asked softly.

"It's really a word mistake. It's all wordy. Okay, I agree to your request." After a moment of silence, Xie Hui sighed and said in a sonorous voice.

Xie Hui didn't think about not agreeing, and then he wanted to break out from here, but he looked at the smiling An Long and the low-browed Zuo Youxian, and even though there was no aura on his body, there was always Ito Cheng, who gave him a warning sign, and the masked woman sitting next to him, completely decided to break out of the encirclement by force alone. After all, it would be difficult for any of these four people to fight alone, let alone together. The superiors and subordinates were in trouble, and they couldn't break through if they didn't make trouble, so they were told here on the spot.

What's more, he is no longer the lonely man he used to be. Standing behind him are the lives of the entire Duzunbao population of more than a thousand people. If Ito Cheng really offends Ito Cheng, the other party may really follow the plan of pulling out the "thorn". The Jiba League, the Sichuan Gang, the Bashu Chamber of Commerce, and the gambling gangs in southern Sichuan, who are about to join in, launch an attack on Duzun Fort. Even if there are enough people in Duzun Fort, they may not be able to survive. , even livelihood is a problem.

So after much consideration, Xie Hui had no choice but to compromise for the sake of the entire Duzun Fort and agree to Ito Cheng's recruitment.

"Then please ask Lord Jiejie to sign this contract." After receiving the reply, Ito Cheng turned over his hand again and took out a scroll and handed it over with a smile.

Xie Hui took the contract scroll and looked down at it.

After a moment, he raised his head and scratched the fingertips of his right hand with one hand. A stream of bright red blood immediately poured out from the tip of his right index finger. It was pressed as ink on the surface of the scroll, and lines were drawn as the fingers moved. Bright red lines form text printed on the scroll.

On the side, Huo Qingqiao, who saw Xie Hui's decisiveness, no longer hesitated, and also cut his finger and signed his name on the scroll.

Looking at the actions of Xie Hui and Huo Qingqiao, An Long, Zuo Youxian, Jiao Luofeng, and Chuan Mouxun all showed gloating smiles on their faces. They had personally verified that the thin animal skin scroll possessed The power of it, so I am very much looking forward to the expressions of Xie Hui and Huo Qingqiao after seeing the vision after signing the contract and hearing the explanation. It will be very interesting to think about it.

About ten seconds later, with two groups of ghostly light blooming one after another, two rays shot out from the contract scrolls in the hands of Xie Hui and Huo Qingqiao respectively. When the ghostly light erupted, the body suddenly became helpless. The foreheads of the two people who paused under control.

"What does this mean?" Xie Hui and Huo Qingqiao asked with unkind expressions while distractedly checking their bodies to see if there was anything weird in their bodies.

"Of course it's to ensure that you won't regret it in the future." Ito Cheng shrugged and chuckled, "But don't worry, as long as you act seriously in accordance with the terms of the contract and do not violate the contents of the contract, your lives will not be threatened at all. ."

"But if it's violated, I'm sorry, this thing is hard to save, even I can't do it. So, for the sake of your safety, remember not to be careless in the future!"

Ito Cheng looked meaningfully at Huo Qingqiao, the owner of the gambling house in southern Sichuan, who secretly colluded with the Baling Gang and was even one of them himself and said with a smile.

Under Ito Cheng's gaze, Huo Qingqiao smiled stiffly as if he had been seen through.

At this point, no matter how Xie Hui reacts, the Bashu forces have completely fallen into the hands of Ito Cheng... (To be continued...)\u0026%
