Chapter 72
As soon as Gu Zhen said the words, everyone outside the door changed their expressions.The door was quiet for a while, followed by the sound of bang bang dang, porcelain broken, choking, sword unsheathed, clang, iron armor hitting, kicking, running and jumping.

Yao Qing suddenly understood Gu Zhen's trick, her pretty face turned pale with anger, before she could break out, there was a "bang" sound, the iron door opened, people's heads shook inside the door, the swords and armor were dazzling, all the bandits formed a formation hastily.

"It's so murderous!" Gu Zhen said with a smile, "This is Brother Xu's way of hospitality?" I am very grateful, thank you for your kindness, my younger brother has lived in Prison Island for two years, and I have been very quiet these few days, so I am here to have a drink with Brother Xu, catch up on the old days, and talk about our thoughts."

Xu Hai snorted, and unexpectedly said: "It's you..." Gu Zhen smiled and said, "It's the younger brother." Xu Hai was silent for a while, and suddenly said loudly: "A rare guest, are you alone?"

"Little brother has three companions," Gu Zhen said with a smile, "The first one is the new landmother of Xicheng..." Before finishing speaking, Huan Zhongque yelled sharply: "The new landmother? Is Wen Dai dead?"

Yao Qing was in a hurry, and gave Gu Zhen a hard look. Gu Zhen pretended not to see him, and said with a smile: "The second one is the young master of the Tianbu." As soon as this remark came out, there was a commotion among the pirates, and some people hated: "Shen Brother Xiu, are you here too?"

Shen Xiu's face was earthy, and she said bravely, "Brother Zidan." Chen Zidan said coldly, "Thanks to you, I can't be any better." Gu Zhen laughed, and said: "As for the third , is a mere business partner, not well-known."

Xu Haidao: "East Island and West City, we swear no conflicts. You are the young master of East Island, how can you get mixed up with people from West City?" Gu Zhen smiled and said: "Thanks to the completion of brother Taiwan, my younger brother can't gain a foothold in East Island. I have taken refuge in Xicheng." After finishing speaking, he continued, "Brother and Taiwan refused to meet each other, so I had no choice but to go back home." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute." Xu Hai shouted, "let him in." The Japanese pirates parted ways in response, Gu Zhen smiled slightly, and whispered to Lu Jian: "Put on the mask." Lu Jian nodded and put on the human skin mask superior.

Gu Zhen stepped into the entrance, strolled through the crowd, looked left and right from time to time, smiled and nodded in greeting, the gangsters had never seen such opponents facing each other with swords and guns.

However, Lu Jian knew that Gu Zhen was bluffing, so he smiled wryly to himself.Yao Qing is in a dilemma at this time, retreating to the ground, unable to escape Feng Junhou's pursuit, if she enters the door, there will be a fierce battle, the balance between the two, the Japanese pirates are easier to deal with.Shen Xiu's hands and feet were injured, so she couldn't escape alone, so she could only limping along behind.

Inside the door is a stone hall, more than [-] feet in length, with smooth polished walls, embedded with eight iron-cast animal heads in different shapes, and a torch inserted in the iron ring below, illuminating the hall like daylight.

Xu Hai was sitting on a grand teacher's chair with a gloomy face. There were two people standing on the left and right. Lu Jian recognized that the person on the left was Chen Zidan, and the person on the right was wrapped in cloth strips from head to neck, only showing his mouth, nose and eyes, staring at Yao Qing. Unbearable resentment.Yao Qing felt a little strange, so she couldn't help but glance at him more.

The four of them had just entered the door when two wrestlers raised the iron bars and blocked the door with a "clang".All of a sudden, the group of bandits stamped their feet with knives, their voices were deafening, as if two armies were confronting each other.

Gu Zhen seemed like a tiger joining a pack of wolves, he walked to the center of the hall, sat down calmly on a bench, took a jar of wine and drank it.Seeing this, the bandits were startled and suspicious, and their shouts and cursing also faded away with the sound of drinking.

After Gu Zhen finished drinking, he put the wine jar on the stool, wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, how long has it been since we saw each other?" Xu Hai said coldly, "Three years!"

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Gu Zhen smiled, "Back then, my little brother had poor eyesight, and he couldn't see his face in person, but he only saw his back from a distance. I think Brother Xu was sailing a boat, watching the wind and fleeing. It's not enough to flatter a horse."

What he said seemed to be a compliment but not a compliment, and everyone was confused when they heard Xu Hai's face turned purple, the veins on his forehead throbbing, holding the handle of the knife, as if he wanted to stand up, only for a moment, then he calmed down in his anger, and laughed Said: "Brother, I'm overwhelmed. Back then you sank my treasure ship and harmed my brother. Xu kept this blood debt in his heart, and he dared not forget it for a moment."

Everyone was baffled by what they heard, but Lu Jian was overjoyed: "Gu Zhen and this big Japanese bandit are neither friends nor enemies, so his grievances are true?" Keep your back straight.Yao Qing sensed the change in his mood and couldn't help but glance at him, wondering what stupid idea this kid had, but then she thought again: "What does he have in mind, and what does it have to do with me? The stupid boy is always against me, hmph, in this life I don’t even want to talk to him in this life.”

Suddenly Gu Zhen laughed and said, "Brother Xu is serious. There is a saying that 'wealth touches people's hearts'. Who told you to snatch so many treasures and ship them to Dongying with great fanfare? My younger brother saw it and couldn't help being greedy. I wanted to borrow some money. Brother Xu refused to play with boats and treasures. I had no choice but to use some force. Besides, brother Xu killed people, and brother Xu killed brothers. They were all murders. What is right and wrong? Brother Xu is like this To be angry, in fact, there is no need for it.”

Xu Hai was so angry that he grabbed the handle of the knife, stood up abruptly, stared at Gu Zhen for a moment, then sat down slowly, and said with a sneer: "You want to make me angry, but I am not angry. Now Masters of the East Island are looking for you all over the world, even if you leave this place today, you will not be able to escape the hands of the four masters of the East Island, Xu only cares about the living, and has always been very lenient towards those who are destined to die."

"Brother Xu's words are on point." Gu Zhen slapped his thigh, "I'm here for no other reason, I just ask for a letter from Brother Xu to explain whether the letter I sent to my brother last time is fake or not, so it can be cleaned up Little brother's grievance."

Xu Hai glanced at him, and said coldly, "You're dreaming!" Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "Brother Xu, why is he so decisive? How about making a deal with you?" Xu Hai was suspicious, and frowned, "What deal?"

Gu Zhen said: "The goods on Brother Xu's treasure ship that day were at most 150 million taels of silver. Now I will pay you twice the price. How about you avenging my grievances?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the Japanese pirates all showed greed.Shen Xiu's expression of disbelief made Lu Jian feel even more puzzled, he couldn't guess what Gu Zhen was thinking, but he felt that no matter what, he shouldn't make a deal with this big pirate.

Xu Hai was stunned for a moment, and sneered, "Is a lot of money a big deal? You killed more than 2000 of my brothers. No matter how much money you have, can you buy lives?" Hai's arm fell, so he wanted to let go and attack.

Gu Zhen was neither in a hurry nor annoyed, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Xu is muddled in this account." Xu Hai sneered and said, "Why am I confused?" Gu Zhen said: "There is a saying: 'It is better to have more people, and it is better to have fewer people. Divide the spoils'. Brother Xu’s brother is dead, not to mention that people can’t be resurrected after death, even if they can be resurrected, one more person will be able to share the 300 million taels of white money. If 2000 people come out of thin air, Xu Brother, do the math, how much money do you have to share?"

All the Japanese pirates and mobs, with the word "li" in their heads, listened to this, but they all agreed in their hearts without saying a word, and those who were more reckless actually nodded repeatedly and showed silly smiles.Xu Hai was surprised, he didn't want Gu Zhen's few words to disturb the morale of his own army, if he didn't convince others with reason, something would happen, he pondered for a moment, and said with his beard: "People in the rivers and lakes don't do it for fame, but for the sake of it." Seeking profit, if there is such a silver tael, the old grievances between you and me can be wiped out. But why do you take out so much silver?"

Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Isn't it enough for me, Gu Zhen?" Having said that, he got up slowly, "If not, what about this?" He raised his right hand, and on his middle finger was a radiant red The emerald ring has three streaks of blood running through the body, which is very eye-catching.

"The Ring of the God of Wealth!" There were several exclamations in the hall, and dozens of greedy eyes gathered on the ring.

Many of the Japanese pirates were from merchants, and many of them had heard of the rumors in the Jianghu, so they were all surprised when they saw the ring.

"The emerald ring, with three blood lines, the god of wealth and treasure, commanding the world." Xu Hai looked at the ring with a slightly dazed expression, and Chen Zidan and the masked man beside him were all staring at Gu Zhen, leaning forward slightly .

Gu Zhen smiled, raised his hand suddenly, knocked on the wine jar with the ring, made a tinkling sound, and said with a smile: "Everyone, this thing is not very strong!" Gu Zhen could destroy the ring at will, so he had to swallow his saliva with all his might and curb his greed.

Xu Hai was convinced, and raised his voice: "If your step is really the owner of the 'Ring of the God of Wealth', 300 million taels of silver is really nothing. But how can you convince Xu that this ring is real?"

Gu Zhen smiled and said, "Dare to ask Brother Xu for advice?" Xu Hai casually said, "Give me the ring, and I'll see if it's true or not."

"Good idea." Gu Zhen said with a smile, "Then ask Brother Xu again, is the skin thicker on the face and buttocks, or the thicker skin on the bottom?" Xu Hai said impatiently: "Why ask these gossips? Naturally The bottom is thicker."

"That's weird." Gu Zhen smiled, "From my point of view, brother Xu's skin is thicker. Could it be that it's grown backwards?"

Xu Hai's face turned purple, and a fierce light burst out from his eyes.Chen Zidan couldn't help shouting: "Wu that kid, aren't you afraid of breaking my body into pieces when you insult my lord?"

Gu Zhen smiled and said: "Who told your master to be thick-skinned and covet my ring?" Chen Zidan said: "Just to see the authenticity..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Gu Zhen's face sank, "Either make a deal, and I will be cleared of my grievances, and everyone will make money; or everyone will let go and fight to the death!"

The bandits faced each other face to face, Xu Hai thought for a while, showed a decisive look, and said in a deep voice: "Just make a deal." Gu Zhen clapped his hands and laughed, and suddenly said: "There is one more thing. I will add another one million taels, Buy your traitor in East Island." Xu Hai shook his head and said, "What kind of traitor, Xu doesn't know."

"Strange." Gu Zhen smiled, "There is no traitor, how could you send a fake letter to my bedroom?" When Xu Hai was silent for a while, he smiled sinisterly: "If you give me 500 million taels of silver, I'll tell you who the traitor is." Without thinking, Gu Zhen clapped his hands and said, "Deal!"

"Cheer up!" Xu Hai laughed and stood up, "So, we are a family. Mr. Huan, you pour the wine, I want to drink a bowl with Brother Gu, and become an ally brother."

"Not bad, not bad." Gu Zhen clapped his hands and said, "There are three kinds of wine in this world that you have to drink. The first one is Henji wine. Unfortunately, Brother Xu is a man..." Xu Hai couldn't help but laugh, "Nonsense!" Gu Zhen said again He said with a smile, "The second type is beheading wine, which is not very auspicious for people like Brother Xu."

The decapitation wine is the death row wine that prisoners on death row drink before their execution. Xu Hai, a big thief and giant, fell into the hands of the government, so he couldn't help but drink this bowl.He had an angry look on his face, but Gu Zhen ignored it, and continued with a smile, "Only this third cup of alliance wine, I drink with brother Xu, is a suitable occasion, it is the most appropriate."

Xu Hai turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile, "That's right." With a wave of his hand, Huan Zhongque dragged a wooden table, put it between Xu Hai and Gu Zhen, and took two large bowls and put them on the table , followed by holding a jar of wine, gurgling to fill two bowls.

Lu Jian looked on coldly, and suddenly whispered to Gu Zhen: "This person is the 'corpse demon' Huan Zhongque." Gu Zhen nodded, glanced at Yao Qing, saw her eyes looking up at the sky, nodded slightly, smiled immediately, and turned his head. Let's drink.

Xu Hai also raised his bowl and said with a smile, "Please." Gu Zhen said in his mouth, "Please..." Before he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the wine in the bowl turned into a water arrow and shot at Xu Hai.Xu Hai couldn't dodge in time, Chen Zidan was the closest to him, he stretched out his hand to block it, the wine splashed everywhere, in an instant, Chen Zidan's left hand turned from white to blue, from green to purple.

Chen Zidan didn't expect the poison to attack so quickly, he felt numb and itchy in his left hand, dizzy for a while, and there was a voice in his ear: "What a bitch." Thick vines entangled him tightly.

Chen Zidan was entangled by vines, and became weaker and weaker. He only listened to shouting and cursing, one after another.He heard it strangely, looked at it blankly, in the blink of an eye, the stone hall became a wild and dense forest, countless vines burst out of the ground, like strange snakes and pythons, entangled the two hundred Japanese pirates.Chen Zidan was startled at first, and then he was in a trance: "Hallucination? Yes, it must be a hallucination..." After thinking about it, he suddenly passed out.

"Catch the thief and capture the king." Gu Zhen yelled sharply, and Lu Jian grabbed Xu Hai's chest like an arrow from a string. "Hey", the 'Nie Yuan Vine' all over the hall turned into flying ashes, Yao Qing took two steps back, her face was completely drained of blood.

It turned out that Gu Zhen bluffed and said a lot of nonsense, all to divert the minds of the gangsters and let Yao Qing calmly set up the "evil factor".Yao Qing also knew that Gu Zhen tried every means to trick her here, just to borrow her supernatural powers, and at this time they were defending against a powerful enemy together, and she was not allowed to stand by, so from the moment she entered the door, she casually planted "evil factors".When Gu Zhen and Xu Haixu were with the snake, she also set up the "evil factor".Yao Qing's technique was ingenious, and the flames in the hall were flickering. All the bandits were absorbed by Gu Zhen, and no one noticed the strangeness.

Among the gangsters, only Xu Hai knew how powerful Gu Zhen was, so it was all false.Goodbye to the "Ring of the God of Wealth", reborn with the heart of killing people and seizing treasures, and now pretending to make a deal, drinking alliance wine with Gu Zhen, but secretly hinting to Huan Zhongque to poison him.

Huan Zhongque had corpse poison in his hands, he poured it to Xu Hai's bowl, the wine didn't touch his hands, so it was non-toxic; when pouring it to Gu Zhen, he moved his thumb up a little bit, clasped the edge of the wine jar, poured the wine down When it passed over the fingertips, it was contaminated with corpse poison, so the wine was extremely poisonous when it was poured into the bowl.

Huan Zhongque's tricks were unnoticed, and no one on Gu Zhen's side saw the flaws.But he never expected that Lu Jian's palm was still alive and recognized him. Gu Zhen knew his identity and knew that he would poison him, so he didn't need to worry about how to poison him.

Both sides were duplicity, and when they toasted, they attacked together.But Yao Qing's internal energy is still weak, and "Transformation" consumes too much energy, it is too much effort to trap more than two hundred people, in an instant, "Zhouliu Earth Energy" is exhausted, "Nie Yuan Vine" loses the support of energy, and immediately turns into a Nothing.

As soon as Lu Jian grabbed Xu Hai, he felt a frenzy of sweetness rushing towards him. He didn't dare to take it head-on, so he dodged to block Xu Hai in front of him.Huan Zhongque turned his palm into a grab, grabbed Xu Hai's left arm, walked around Xu Hai's body with his left hand, and grabbed Lu Jian's face.

Lu Jian leaned back anxiously, Huan Zhongque missed his grasp, and his middle finger slid across his forehead, screaming strangely, wanting to take Xu Hai back with strength, when Gu Zhen shouted: "Look at the hidden weapon." A bucket of wine splashed on his face Come on, it turned out that he was careful and only poured half a bowl of poisoned wine, leaving half a bowl just in case.

Huan Zhongque is also a body of flesh and blood, his hands can control the corpse poison with his internal strength, but his eyes are vital but he dare not let the poisonous wine splash, so he let go of Xu Hai immediately, and turned his hands to protect his face.

Lu Jian took the opportunity to retreat and handed Xu Hai to Gu Zhen. Huan Zhongque was furious, screamed strangely, and swung his paws again. He lost Xu Hai and only wanted to capture Lu Jian and force Gu Zhen to replace him.

Lu Jianbi couldn't dodge it, so he waved his hand to meet Huan Zhongque's right paw with his left hand, and pressed his right hand against Huan Zhongque's left palm.The two of them exchanged four hands, and Lu Jian hooked the two fingers of Huan Zhongque's ring finger with his left hand, and pulled the knuckles off with a "click".

Huan Zhongque hadn't felt the pain yet, Lu Jian's momentum was like a bamboo shoot, and he took off the joints of his hands one by one.He took off his hands, and then his wrists, until they were between the elbows.After Huan Zhongque's death, he stretched two feet, and then he was able to get rid of these strange hands.But at this moment, from his fingers to his elbows, he was turned into a pile of broken bones, stretching his tendons, causing unbearable pain. He couldn't help but fall on his back, rolling and wailing. When everyone saw it, they were all shocked.Huan Zhongque was covered with small holes from the forehead to the neck, and the skin and flesh around the holes were shriveled and as black as ink.

Yao Qing snorted, showing surprise.However, Lu Jian stood there dumbfounded. He had just lost his life when he accidentally used the "Mending Heaven Tribulation Hand", and unexpectedly, Huan Zhongque's hands were destroyed with just one move.Although Huanzhong was defeated by underestimating the enemy, the strength of this tribulation technique was beyond imagination, to the point that he couldn't get it right for a while.

All the Japanese pirates were stunned by this strange change, and then came to their senses, screaming angrily, and pounced on with their knives.Gu Zhen yelled sharply: "Who dares to come here?!" Holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, he pressed it tightly against Xu Hai's chest.
