Chapter 698 The Nine Gates Admiral meets the Little Heavenly Master

"The adjutant of the garrison commander?" Zhang Huaiyi narrowed his eyes. "Is his information accurate? Could it be a hoax?!"

He is the most cautious one among them.

Sun Wu said, "It should be accurate. The Hunan Army is not harmonious within the faction, and there are many different forces. The adjutant and the defense officer are not in harmony, and the adjutant is also quite prestigious in the martial arts world. There is no need for him to lie to us and ruin his reputation."

"What status in the underworld?" Zhang Huaiyi asked curiously.

"He is the head of the nine gate admirals of our Changjun City, nicknamed Zhang Dafoye. His status in the world is even higher than that of the defense officer. The information he gave should not be false. The most important thing is that he has no reason to lie to me." Sun Wu said.

Lu Jin was more knowledgeable and said, "The full name of the Nine Gates Admiral is the Commander-in-Chief of the Nine Gates Infantry Patrol and the Five Battalions. Could this person be the Nine Gates Admiral of the previous dynasty?"

Sun Wu shook his head and said, "No, the Nine Governors of Chang County refer to nine alien forces. They are involved in various industries such as tomb robbing, opera, military, and banditry. They cover almost everything."

"And Zhang Dafoye is the leader of the Nine Sects. He is extremely powerful. Legend has it that he once rushed into the Japanese pirate camp alone, killed dozens of Japanese pirate warriors and escaped unscathed."

"At the same time, he is also good at mechanical devices, feng shui, geomancy and other numerology, especially the method of moving mountains."

"He once moved a thousand-ton Buddha statue from dozens of kilometers away from Changjun City to his own house overnight. This move shocked the entire Changjun City, so he was nicknamed Zhang Dafoye."

Master Zhang... Zhang Zhiwei seemed to be thinking about something.

Lu Ci said, "It sounds like this guy is quite evil. If he is so powerful, why doesn't he try to kill the Changjun garrison commander and take his place?"

Sun Wu, who had a purple face, was stunned by the question. Is this man also a Taoist priest from Mount Longhu? He doesn't look like one with such a natural disposition!

Lu Jin looked at him with disdain: "You always say I'm a reckless man, but I think you're the real reckless man. How can this kind of thing be so simple?"

Lu Ci also replied with disdain: "Why are you yelling? I said I would find a way to kill him, but I didn't say to kill him directly. You are simple-minded but strong-limbed!"

"you……"

Lu Jin glared at them, and just as they were about to quarrel, Zhang Huaiyi said:
"The Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships and social etiquette. He can kill the defense officer, but to replace him, he still needs the arrangement of his superiors. Killing him directly is definitely not advisable."

"I guess he got some information and wanted to use us or the Jiangxi governor to overthrow the defense officer, so he did this."

"However, there is another possibility. The defense officer is really related to the Medicine Fairy Society. This Buddha is like the warlord, and has been parasitized by a poisonous insect. We have fallen into a trap!"

Zhang Huaiyi's analysis is very logical.

"Brother Huaiyi is really thoughtful!" said Lu Ci.

"No matter what you do, you should think about it more and be careful!" Zhang Huaiyi said, "Anyway, I think there are only these two possibilities, and the first possibility is more likely."

He explained: "The Jiangxi governor was tricked and was poisoned without knowing it because he was an ordinary person, so it was extremely difficult to prevent it. And this so-called Zhang Dafoye sounds like an extraordinary person with extremely high means. He would not be tricked so easily, so it is likely that he wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

Zhang Huaiyi looked at Zhang Zhiwei: "Brother, you are the knife!"

"Are these people so treacherous?" Lu Jin sighed.

The Lu family has a very upright family tradition, and he grew up in Trinity, a place with simple interpersonal relationships. He doesn't know much about these intricate matters, and doesn't like to think about things in these ways.

"A blacksmith must be strong himself. Do you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife?!" Lu Ci sneered, "If we kill all these warlords, some of them may be innocent. But if we kill every other one, there will definitely be some who slip through the net. Otherwise, let's kill them all!"

Lu Ci stretched out his hand and gestured at his neck.

Sun Wu pursed his lips and straightened his back a little. He felt like sitting on pins and needles. After all, strictly speaking, he was also a warlord.

"No problem, no matter what it is, I'll know it as soon as I see it!" Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand and said. His powerful strength made him fearless of any conspiracy or trickery. He looked at Sun Wu and said, "Can you arrange for me to meet that Zhang Dafoye?"

Sun Wu said quickly: "Of course, we have contact with Zhang Dafoye, I will arrange for the little Taoist priest..."

Lu Ci frowned and was about to speak, but Sun Wu paused for a moment and continued, "Let Master Zhang come to see the Little Heavenly Master."

Although Sun Wu worked for the governor of Jiangxi, he was also an extraordinary person. As an extraordinary person, he naturally knew everything about the affairs of extraordinary people in the world.

If Zhang Dafoye is the local tyrant of Changjun, then the little Taoist priest is the fierce dragon from the alien world. He cannot afford to offend either of them and can only speak to both sides.

Seeing that this man was so sensible, Lu Ci's brows relaxed.

Zhang Zhiwei said, "You go and make the arrangements. Depending on his schedule, it's fine for me to go see him, or for him to come see me, but it has to be quick."

Zhang Zhiwei didn't care about false reputation, he just wanted to deal with this matter quickly and decisively.

"Don't worry, little master. Please wait here for a moment. I will make the arrangements."

Sun Wu bowed and left the hall with someone.

After he left the door, someone beside him said, "Lord Sun, the little celestial master has come to Changjun in person. Your luck has come. Needless to say, the little celestial master's abilities are so great. He is known as a human-shaped opportunity. Those who have had encounters with him have basically benefited a lot. Now that we have met, why don't you find a chance to ask for his advice?"

Sun Wu smiled and said, "I am a congenital extraordinary person. I was born with a face like purple clouds and possessed supernatural powers. However, my success and failure are both due to my congenital extraordinary person. I cannot practice cultivation and cannot make any progress. This is destiny. I am afraid that even the little Heavenly Master cannot help me."

"You can give it a try. The little Taoist priest is very extraordinary. Maybe he can find a way."

"That's right, but for this kind of thing, we have to help the little Taoist get it done first!" said Sun Wu.

"Master Sun is absolutely right!"

During the conversation, the two came to the residence of Zhang Dafoye.

…………

…………

It didn't take long.

Sun Wu returned with his men.

"Little Heavenly Master, I just went to see Master Zhang. He was flattered to hear that you came from afar. And now it's almost dinner time, so he didn't come in person, but went to the Pear Garden to hold a banquet. He hopes that you can do him the honor of going."

After saying that, Sun Wu handed over a gold-stamped invitation.

Zhang Zhiwei took the invitation, glanced at it, and nodded, saying, "Since he invited us, let's go meet this Master Zhang."

"Brother, I don't really like this kind of occasion, and my Qi hasn't recovered yet, so I won't go to this banquet."

Zhang Huaiyi said that a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall. He is a steady person and does not want to get involved in danger before his own means are restored.

"Then, Senior Brother, I won't go either. Huaiyi's Qi hasn't recovered yet, so I'll stay and take care of him!" Tian Jinzhong said hurriedly. "Jinzhong, there's no need to do that. Although I haven't fully recovered, I can protect myself!" Zhang Huaiyi said.

Tian Jinzhong said, "It's okay. I'll go with you. I don't like that kind of occasion either. We can just go for a stroll in Changjun City."

"That's fine," Zhang Zhiwei nodded and said, "This is just a test, there shouldn't be any big moves, but it's hard to say, you don't have to go. Changjun is a 3,000-year-old capital, you can go out for a walk, and you can also experience some of the local specialties. I heard that the stinky tofu here is good."

"Is stinky tofu delicious?" Tian Jinzhong asked curiously, "I smelled a strange smell when I came here!"

"It smells bad but tastes good. You can try it!" said Zhang Zhiwei.

"Is it true?" Tian Jinzhong asked doubtfully.

Senior brother is indeed very reliable, but what he says about food is often very unreliable, and he has suffered from it many times.

"You'll know if you try it!" said Zhang Zhiwei.

This wasn't really a lie to him. Zhang Zhiwei always thought stinky tofu was delicious.

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiwei called Lu Jin and Lu Ci to go to the banquet to keep the appointment.

…………

…………

The place where Zhang Dafoye invited Zhang Zhiwei to dinner was called "Liyuan". It was a theater with two-story corridors on both sides. There were various decorations on the walls. There was a stage on the first floor and corridors on the second and third floors where people could stop and watch. The whole building looked ancient and full of folk flavor.

At this moment, two people, one tall and one short, were standing at the entrance of the theater.

The tall man was wearing a brown-green military uniform and high leather boots. The tweed military uniform was straight and well-ironed, the material fit his tall body well, the trouser lines were ironed straight, and he had an extraordinary temperament.

The shorter man was wearing a long gown and a jacket embroidered with delicate red flowers. He looked feminine but not effeminate.

But at this moment, his expression was very complicated. He was excited but also nervous, and he looked around from time to time.

At this time, Sun Wu arrived with Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Jin and Lu Ci.

Their eyes suddenly lit up.

The man in military uniform glanced over and then focused his eyes on Zhang Zhiwei.

There is a portrait of Zhang Zhiwei in Jianghu Inn. The painting is more detailed than the one taken with a camera, so it is impossible for him not to recognize him.

In my perception, there were only three people, but in my sight, there were four people. The green light was in broad daylight, and it gave me a feeling as if I had encountered something unknown and ominous in a tomb... The man in military uniform thought to himself.

Before he could make any move, the handsome man next to him, wearing a long gown and a jacket, stepped forward, folded his arms and said excitedly:

"Dearly, Hong from the Flower Drum Opera, I am here to meet the Little Heavenly Master!"

Lu Jin and Lu Ci looked at each other and thought to themselves, isn't it that Zhang Dafo who invited Senior Brother Zhang to dinner? Where did this guy who looks like a woman come from?
Don't hit a smiling person. Zhang Zhiwei also folded his hands and said, "Longhu Mountain Zhang Zhiwei, I wonder if you are..."

Hong Jingqi waved his hand and said, "I am just an unknown person who sings opera, not worth mentioning. Today, my good friend invited the little Taoist priest to a banquet, and I came here to sing opera!"

Having said that, he was inexplicably excited.

At this time, the man in military uniform also came forward, clasped his hands and said, "Nine Gates Admiral Zhang Qishan, greets the Little Heavenly Master."

"The person coming is... Master Zhang?" Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhang Qishan.

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. This is just an undeserved honor given to me by my fellow martial artists!" said Zhang Dafoye with a smile.

Immediately, he looked at Lu Jin and Lu Ci: "These two brothers must be Master Lu, the twin pillars of the Lu family, and Master Lu, the disciple of the Great Ying Immortal of the Sanyi Sect!"

Although he was wearing a military uniform, he looked very cheerful when he spoke.

"Exactly!"

The two of them also hugged their hands and said.

"Brother Zhang, you should know what I am investigating. If you have any information, we might as well speak frankly. If you have any request, you can also tell me at the same time. If it is reasonable, I will not refuse." Zhang Zhiwei said directly.

When he came here just now, he felt the Qi of these two people. Although it gave him a cold feeling overall, there was no black Qi emitted by the poisonous insect in their Qi, which meant that they should not have been poisoned.

At the same time, this person also gave him an inexplicably familiar feeling, as if he had seen him somewhere before, or felt a similar aura.

It's just that he has never cared much about outsiders or things related to outsiders, so he didn't think about it for a while.

"Little Heavenly Master is so open-minded!" Zhang Dafoye laughed, then he restrained his smile and said, "The Jiangxi Governor went to Longhu Mountain and started investigating the missing baby right after. Now the little Heavenly Master is here in person. If I'm not mistaken, the little Heavenly Master is planning to take action against the Medicine Fairy Society, right?"

His influence extends to both the black and white worlds, and he also has spies in Jiangxi Governor's office. After learning that the Little Heavenly Master was coming to Changjun, he began to make arrangements, hoping to use the Little Heavenly Master's power to plan something for himself, but he was still a step too slow.

He originally thought that it would take at least a day or two to get there, after all, this place was a thousand miles away from Longhu Mountain. But unexpectedly, when he received the news in the morning that the young Taoist priest was coming, he arrived in about an hour.

He took several people across a thousand miles in one hour. Even though he was knowledgeable, he could not guess how they traveled.

However, this directly disrupted his original plan, so after Sun Wu found him, he made several urgent deployments and arranged to receive Zhang Zhiwei here.

"Yes, do you have any news about the Medicine Immortal Society?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"Of course there are. We are also willing to help the little Taoist priest solve his problems!" said Zhang Dafoye with a smile.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

"Little Heavenly Master is a man of few words," said Zhang Dafoye with a smile, "Then I'll be frank. I heard that Little Heavenly Master has the ability to revive the dead and regenerate broken limbs. I want to ask Little Heavenly Master to save someone for me!"

Hearing this, Hong Jingqi, who was standing behind Zhang Dafo, couldn't stop shaking.

Zhang Zhiwei and the others looked at each other. They had listened to Huaiyi's very logical analysis and thought that he wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but they didn't expect that he was trying to save someone.

"Who to save?" Zhang Zhiwei asked.

Zhang Dafo looked at Hong Jingqi.

Hong Jingqi said, "It's my wife. She has been weak and sick since she was a child. Later, her condition became worse. I tried every possible way and used every possible means, but I couldn't cure her. I have heard that the little celestial master has unparalleled magical powers. I hope the little celestial master can help me."
