Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 204 0203: He and Liu join forces

At the gate of Liyuan.

"Master He, the Lord wants to see you."

The guard at the gate of Liyuan walked out and said to He Shuijun.

He Shuijun nodded: "Thank you."

He waited outside for quarter of an hour before he was interviewed, feeling somewhat nervous.

Although he was promoted to the sixth rank and Li Mingxin was also at the sixth rank, he would not dare to attack Li Mingxin even if he had ten times the courage.

What I’m afraid of is not strength, but identity!

A member of the royal family, even if he was an expatriate steward of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was still someone that a small person like him could not afford to offend.

When he arrived at the lobby, He Shuijun saw Li Mingxin sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed.

"I am from the lower third rank of the Li family. I am He Shuijun from the He family. I would like to greet the steward." He Shuijun immediately bowed and said.

Li Mingxin opened his eyes, looked at He Shuijun, and said calmly:

"I also know your purpose. Since you have become a sixth-rank warrior, the He family will naturally become a middle-rank third-rank family. I will report this to the Foreign Affairs Institute for registration. Do you know the rules?"

He knew what was going on in the city, but he didn't care at all about the He family's annexation of the Lu family.

The annexation of the Lu family was before the promotion, and the breakthrough of one's own strength during the annexation process was not considered a violation of the Li family's rules. Therefore, there is nothing to say.

Later, He Shuijun voluntarily abided by the rules and did not arbitrarily attack other forces. He was very satisfied with this.

He Shuijun bowed and said, "I have only heard a little bit, and I know that the middle third rank cannot attack the lower third rank forces. I don't know the other detailed rules. Please give me some advice, sir."

At this time, Li Mingxin smiled slightly, very satisfied with He Shuijun's tactful attitude, and nodded slightly:
"There aren't many rules for a middle third rank family. In general, one is that you are not allowed to take the initiative to attack a lower third rank family, but you can fight back if challenged; two is that you can pay a price to have this steward mediate your grievances on behalf of the Li family; there aren't many other rules. In addition, you are given two choices.

One is to go to the county town. I will write a letter to inform the people there that there will be a place for you in the county town.

The second option is to stay in Yufeng County, but in addition to abiding by the original rules, the annual offering must be increased fivefold. "

At this point, Li Mingxin looked at He Shuijun and said with a faint smile: "If you go to the county city, you don't need to offer so much, and you won't be restricted."

He Shuijun said: "I choose the second one."

He did not hesitate, preferring to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix. With his background and strength, going to the county city? It would be better to go there to deliver resources. Even a fool would know what to choose.

As for increasing the offering fivefold, that was not a problem. The total was only 60,000 taels of rice, 60,000 taels of silver, and 6,000 medicinal herbs!

The Lu family's territory has become the He family's, and later he dealt with the territory in the west of the city. This means that in addition to his own original offerings, he also took over the original offerings from the Lu family, the Cheng family, and the Tianduan Gang.

Including our own, the total amount adds up to three and a half times the amount.

The amount of offering given by Li Mingxin was just a little more.

Totally affordable.

"Okay. Then you can go back." Li Mingxin was about to get up when he saw He Shuijun agreed. But He Shuijun said, "There is one more thing you need to know."

Li Mingxin looked over and frowned: "What else?"

"When the He family annexed the Lu family, the Cheng family in the west of the city and the Tianduan Gang robbed our He family's spoils, which was a provocation to our He family. But because I knew the rules of the adults, I did not stop them and let them take it away, and I did not attack them.

At present, all the resources of the Lu family are in the Tianduan Gang’s base in the west of the city. We hope to fight back against the Cheng family and the Tianduan Gang and take back what belongs to the He family. Afterwards, the He family will also offer a tribute as a punishment for disturbing the stability of the county. "

The last point is also an unwritten rule. If you fight back against a lower third-rank family, as long as it is legitimate, the Li family stewards will basically not make it difficult or interfere. But this is a matter of human nature and is not in the rules.

Li Mingxin looked at He Shuijun deeply and said with a smile: "As long as the evidence is solid, this deacon will not interfere. As for the punishment, this deacon heard that your He family also has a treasure, and I will ask the head of the He family to borrow it for you to see later."

After saying that, he left without saying anything more to He Shuijun.

Only He Shuijun was left with a puzzled and gradually solemn look on his face.

What is the treasure of my He family?

He left Liyuan with full of doubts.

On the way from the lobby to the backyard, the steward Li Tonghua asked, "Sir, this He Shuijun is related to the Gu doctor, why don't you just arrest him? There is a reward at the clan affairs office."

He received an anonymous letter in the morning, which was about He Shuijun's breakthrough to the sixth rank and the use of Gu doctor's method. Lu Yan died because of this.

On the family side, the reward contribution for the Gu doctor is extremely high.

But Li Mingxin didn't say much after he knew it, and he didn't mention it when he saw He Shuijun, as if he didn't know.

Li Mingxin glanced at the person beside him and continued walking while saying, "Let me keep this to myself. I will make my own arrangements regarding the Gu doctor."

Li Tonghua could only nod in agreement after hearing this, but he asked again: "He Shuijun wants to cause trouble for the Cheng family. The kid from the Cheng family is not a good person. If he is killed by that kid, won't it affect your plan?"

At this moment, Li Mingxin stopped and frowned. After a moment, he said, "Go to the He family and have a look."

When Li Tonghua heard this, he immediately understood what he meant: "Yes."

After saying that, he turned and left.

When He Shuijun returned home, he asked his housekeeper to send people to take over the entire northern part of the city. At the same time, he also instructed his men to spread the news that the He family had become a third-class family.

For a moment, all the families were silent!
They would never have thought that the He family, who came to Yufeng County together, would suddenly be promoted to the sixth rank!
The person who was about to be at a disadvantage when facing Lu Yan was the first to enter the sixth rank!
Although they knew the rules of the Li family, as long as they did not provoke the He family, the He family would not attack them. But it would be too easy for the He family to force them to provoke them.

It may not be easy to make someone happy, but it is definitely easy to make someone angry.

For a moment, they were worried and felt a sense of urgency, and they wanted to seize the time to try to see if they could make a breakthrough.

As the He family quickly took over the entire northern part of the city, they also began recruiting new soldiers, selecting some young and strong men from the county who were willing to join the He family.

Although they all looked thin, He Shuijun didn't care. What the He family lacked was ordinary manpower to manage the streets and positions.

With him around, ordinary people can do nothing to him. If other families dare to take action, he has an excuse to deal with them.

In just one day, the entire north of the city was completely under control, which was enough to show that the He family was well prepared.

He Shuijun also seemed to have forgotten Cheng Zongyang. After leaving Liyuan, he stayed at home busy with something.

All the information collected by Li Lu was summarized in Disha Hall and a copy was sent to Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Zongyang waited for two days, and was really confused to see that He Shuijun not only did not look for him, but also did not look for the Tianduan Gang and Tianduan Village.

At the same time, the surveillance personnel did not see He Shuijun go out.

But as time entered midnight and the 13th day arrived, Li Lu, who was preparing to rest, suddenly heard the news from Zhao Laoqi!
A group of people from the He family entered the northwest street of the city and met the Cheng family.

"Have you sent anyone over?!" Li Lu's face changed and he asked quickly.

Zhao Laoqi said quickly: "All the warriors of Zhenwu Hall have just been sent over! I have also sent someone to inform the adults!"

But soon, another gang member came running over and said with a pale face: "Thirty-five warriors from the Liu family have entered South Street!"

At this moment, Li Lu's brows were instantly wrinkled into a "川" shape, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No wonder the He family has been so quiet these past two days, it turns out that they have contacted the Liu family!"

"Let everyone in Zhenwu Hall go to South Street. Don't go to North Street. The Cheng family is blocking them there, so don't worry! Also, Zhao Laoqi, tell Xiao Bing to use his backup plan! Kill all the enemies who enter South Street!"

Zhao Laoqi didn't know what the back-up plan was, but he left immediately after receiving the order.

"Liu Chengdong! I didn't mean to cause trouble to you, but you came here to seek death!" Li Lu snorted coldly with gritted teeth, entered the room, and took out an iron box and five purses.

This is the backup plan left by Cheng Zongyang!
The Zhenwu Hall has a geomagnet and ten purses. When it is used, Xiao Bing will bring the geomagnet and then divide it into nine warriors. Ten people with the help of the geomagnet are enough to deal with the thirty people of the Liu family!

As for Li Lu, it was also used by Cheng Zongyang to save his life.

After the last lesson, he would not let Li Lu fall into death again! But this thing can only be used at a critical moment.

Li Lu did not leave, but continued to stay at the base, ready to convey instructions at any time.

Northwest street of the city, Yunli Lane.

He Shuijun has come to Cheng's house alone.

He slammed the door of the Cheng family to pieces, stepped over the threshold and walked in.

But it was pitch black inside the Cheng house, and such a loud noise could not attract anyone, not even a servant.

"Did he run away first?" He Shuijun frowned.

He walked in, took a quick look around, snorted coldly, and went towards Cheng Zongyang's private residence.

His people had already investigated clearly that Cheng Zongyang had two houses in the west of the city. Even the housekeeper's residence was under surveillance.

But Cheng Zongyang was not found in other people's houses, so he came here in person to look for him.

When he received a report from his subordinates that Cheng Zongyang was still not found, he was not very angry, but went to the Tianduan Gang's base.

"Since you're not here, let's destroy the Tianduan Gang first. I don't believe you can just hide and not come out."

I didn't do it before because I followed the rules of the Li family. After reporting it later, I got permission. Now it's legitimate and I won't be liquidated by the Li family.

At the same time, on a street between the North West Street and the North West Street, Zhou Zhendong led five warriors to confront the ten warriors of the He family.

The He family's staff were divided out, and the same was true for Zhou Zhendong's side.

Although the He family had more people, Zhou Zhendong was not worried, even though the opponents were all eighth-grade warriors.

Zhou Zhendong stared at the man opposite him, his eyes showing a fighting spirit. He drew his sword and asked with a smile, "Have you brought your purses?"

The five warriors from Chengjia Village responded without changing their expressions: "We are ready."

At the same time, they all drew out the knives from their waists!

Zhou Zhendong immediately took out a slightly flat box from his arms, opened it, and placed it on the ground.

"Remember, hands and feet first!"

After saying that, he rushed over first. The five people behind him also rushed over one after another.

The next moment after the iron box was opened, the members of the He family, who were only ten meters away, suddenly felt unwell.

A feeling of dizziness immediately emerged from their brains. Suddenly, they stood alone, shaking their heads.

"Damn, what's going on?"

Someone shook his head and asked in horror.

"Someone from the Cheng family must have poisoned us! We are here, downwind!"

"Despicable Cheng family! Get out!"

"..."

However, Zhou Zhendong did not give them any chance. The distance of ten meters was only one or two breaths.

Even if you can run a hundred meters while walking in this unstable state, there is no chance!

As he got closer and closer, the hands or feet of the He family members were the first to be hit by the knife.

Either their wrists were cut off by the knife, or they were kicked down and their tendons in their hands and feet were cut.

The fifteen eighth-grade warriors were like chickens and were instantly defeated by Zhou Zhendong and others.

Even if there are a few who can resist, they can't withstand a few moves.

To put it bluntly, if one possesses a magnet, warriors in the lower three realms will basically have no rivals!

In just two or three minutes, all the eighth-grade warriors of the He family were disabled from moving, and then white medicine was used to quickly stop the bleeding.

Cheng Zongyang gave them an order that all warriors should lose all their ability to fight back and then be arrested.

Although they don't know why they do this, they just do it.

After dealing with these people, Zhou Zhendong said to the people behind him: "Send them to the warehouse and lock them up until the young clan leader can deal with them later. I'll go to other streets and alleys to check."

Five people responded at the same time.

Zhou Zhendong put away the magnet and their purses, then quickly rushed to other places!

This kind of battle was also going on simultaneously in other streets.

The thirty warriors from the Cheng family were divided into six teams. Except for Zhou Zhendong's team of six, the rest of the teams had five people each.

Each of these teams is assigned a geomagnet. The person who controls the geomagnet is a member of the Earthly Branches.

Therefore, after these teams intercepted the He family members on various streets, they were basically defeated one-sidedly with ease, and the He family members had almost no ability to resist.

The whole process takes less than one or two minutes. The time spent afterwards is all used to stop the bleeding!

It can be said that these battles are completely unchallenging.

But they all knew that this kind of life-and-death battle was completely unnecessary. Since there was a more efficient way to win, there was no need to waste time!
The Cheng family already has few warriors. If they lose more men in this kind of battle, the Cheng family will have even less available combat power.

For the Cheng family, the number of warriors is more of a deterrent than a practical factor.

If you want to improve your practical experience, there are many ways to do it, and there is no need to demonstrate anything in this kind of occasion.

The slow development of the Cheng family is also related to the shortage of manpower.

Within half an hour, six teams successively killed more than one hundred ordinary guards and warriors sent by the He family.

Ordinary people were killed on the spot, and all warriors were captured alive and taken away!
The He family's plan tonight to kill the Cheng family and take over the west of the city has basically been declared a failure.

Similarly, on the southwest street of the city, Xiao Bing, with several experienced warriors from the Tianduan Gang's Zhenwu Hall, caught up with his brothers who were being besieged and killed by Liu family guards in a street.

Xiao Bing was well aware of the combat effectiveness of his own gang members, and he had little chance of winning against these battle-hardened family guards.

This was clearly seen in the last incident in Tianduan Village.

Therefore, when Xiao Bing found one of the Liu family guard teams, he did not hesitate. He took out the magnet, put on his purse, and launched a rescue and counterattack!

As a hall for external warfare, Zhenwu Hall recruits people who are either brave and fierce, strong and healthy, or not afraid of death.

It was precisely because of this that Cheng Zongyang left a geomagnetic stone and five purses to the Zhenwu Hall for use in times of crisis to avoid excessive casualties among the brothers in the hall.

Although it would be good for Cheng Zongyang if his cousin died after signing the contract, Cheng Zongyang still felt that it was not the right time.

In the early stages of the gang, these people are far more valuable alive than dead. Once things become completely stable, they will be dead.

As a result, the one-sided situation occurred again.
