3:30 in the morning.

The sun was shining brightly.

Although it was bright enough, it did not cause white smoke to rise from the ground. It was still a long way from being too hot.

Even if he moved a little, he would still be sweating profusely.

Only when he reached the level of an internal force martial artist, restrained his breath, and closed his pores, could he control the sweat to be discharged as he wished.

Gu Baiyun was not an internal force martial artist.

He stood anxiously in front of the martial arts hall, his forehead shining, that was the reflection of the sun when the sweat rolled.

"Master Gu, it's almost time, we should go..."

The one who urged him was the guard from the county government. Yesterday, he had come to the martial arts hall with Master Zhang. Today, he and his companions came to escort Gu Baiyun to the warehouse at Chengguan Wharf for negotiations. It was said to be protection, but it looked like an escort.

"Wait a little longer..."

Gu Baiyun had a smile on his face and was careful.

This time, Gu Baiyun went out of the city to negotiate alone, and did not bring other people from the martial arts hall with him.

In addition to him, there are three or four martial artists in the Refining Zang realm in the martial arts hall.

However, they are all in the state of retirement, with declining blood and qi, and they are not good at strengthening their muscles and bones. Even if they accompany him, they can't help, but will become a laughing stock and a burden.

As for the younger generation, several of the true disciples are in the Bone Refining realm. The reason why they still stay in the martial arts hall is nothing more than poor family background, or they have no relatives and nowhere to go. Their intentions to stay in the martial arts hall may not be pure, and it is useless to take them with them.

What if there is an accident?

Why bother to implicate them.

Nie Wushuang?

It is a great favor to ask him to invite someone from the Demon Suppression Division to accompany him. Gu Baiyun doesn't have such a thick skin to ask him to accompany him again.

Ten jade brocade pills!

Equivalent to a thousand taels of silver!

It is also a huge sum of money. If it weren't for the control of the martial arts hall's treasury, Gu Baiyun's savings alone would be enough to bankrupt him.

However, if he could really invite someone from the Demon Suppression Division.

He also made a promise to keep himself safe, but it was worth it!

However, the agreed time was 3:45 in the morning. Now, the time should have come. Why didn't that person show up?

"Master Gu!"

The guard armor was impatient and raised his voice.

Gu Baiyun took a deep breath and his face darkened.

If he was not wearing this skin and relying on others, how could he dare to be so arrogant in front of him, a warrior in the refining organ realm?

If he didn't lose his temper, would he really treat the refining organ realm as a human being?

At this moment, a warrior wearing black leather armor, wearing a mask and holding a horizontal sword came from the other end of the long street. He was not tall and his steps were not big, but he walked very fast, like flowing clouds and water, and in a flash he arrived in front of the martial arts hall.

A trace of joy flashed across Gu Baiyun's face.

He hesitated for a moment, looked at the black-armored masked warrior standing at the bottom of the steps, and asked softly.

"Your Excellency..."

"Master Gu, I am entrusted by someone..."

The black-armored warrior said with a fist.

The voice was slightly dull, with sufficient breath and resonance in the chest.

As soon as you hear the voice, you know that it is the kind of adult who is very reliable.

"Master Gu..."

Looking at the black-armored warrior under the steps, Guard A frowned, and before he could continue, Gu Baiyun choked him.

"What? I, Gu, need your permission to bring someone?"

Don't look at Gu Baiyun's short stature. When he gets angry, he has a realm crushing, and several guards will retreat.

Momentum is like this.

Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

Then, the group got on the two carriages waiting on the side, and drove out of the city one after another.

Four county guards, three got on the first carriage, and one got on the second carriage with Gu Baiyun and the black-armored warrior.

After getting on the car, Gu Baiyun handed a porcelain bottle to the black-armored warrior.

The bottle contained five Yujin pills for internal force martial artists.

The warrior took it and put it in his arms, and continued to be silent.

In the car, Gu Baiyun tried to communicate with the black-armored warrior.

The other party just nodded or shook his head. Even if he spoke, it was just a short sentence. It was impossible to find out the details.

As for the county guards, the black-armored warriors treated him as if he did not exist.

In this way, about half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the A-shaped pier outside the city. After getting off the car, there was a two-story warehouse in front of him.

There were not many goods in the warehouse.

The burlap bags were bulging and stacked against the wall.

There was a smell of medicine floating in the air. It seemed that the bags were filled with medicinal materials.

In the middle of the warehouse, on the open ground, there were tables and chairs. The table was a rectangular table, which was used by the coolies in the warehouse to eat. There were only five chairs, which were already full of people, and the rest were more than a dozen benches.

Master Zhang was at the head of the table, and the people on the left were the hostile forces such as the Luo family's forging shop and the Black Dragon Gang.

The right side was empty, without a single person.

Gu Baiyun went to the right and sat down.

There were no chairs, only benches.

Luo Yong and others sitting opposite him were obviously taller than him.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves!

Gu Baiyun didn't care.

The black-armored warrior didn't sit down, but stood behind Gu Baiyun.

"Who is this?"

Master Zhang glanced at the black-armored warrior, frowned, and asked Gu Baiyun.

Before Gu Baiyun could answer, Luo Yong on the opposite side slammed the table, stood up, pointed at Gu Baiyun and shouted.

"Gu, you came here with a coward, what do you want to do? Don't you have the sincerity to negotiate?"

During this period of time, Luo Yong was very high-spirited.

Since he was born, he has never had such a wonderful moment.

He was injured in the ambush of Shangyang Martial Arts Hall and was unable to go to the Taoist temple in the mountain villa. Fortunately, he survived. Most of the internal force martial artists of his alliance died in the Taoist temple. Now, he is the master of the entire alliance.

He and Zhao Tianba, who was sitting next to him, two internal force martial artists, joined forces, and their strength was enough to crush those gangs that had lost their backbone.

Even the former boss, the Forging Weapon Shop, could only be below him at this time. When he spoke, the third shopkeeper representing the Forging Weapon Shop, who was also an internal force martial artist, could only remain silent and dared not speak.

Gu Baiyun was pale and clenched his teeth.

He could feel that the black-armored warrior behind him still maintained a steady breathing rhythm and his emotions seemed to be calm.

This made him feel a little relieved.

"Is it shameful?"

"Take off your mask!"

Luo Yong shouted loudly, with an arrogant look on his face.

"Cough cough..."

At the top, Master Zhang coughed twice.

Luo Yong turned around, his expression changed instantly, he smiled, and his voice suddenly dropped octaves.

"Master Zhang, it's not that I don't give you face, it's just..."

Suddenly, Master Zhang stood up.

He glanced at the people on both sides of the long table, picked up the pipe on the table, and said softly.

"I'll go out and smoke a pack of cigarettes first, and you guys will talk about it after you finish this matter..."

After that, he walked out of the warehouse.

Several county guards with knives followed him closely.

Gone?

He actually left?

Gu Baiyun was confused.

For a moment, he couldn't speak.

Seeing that Master Zhang and others were about to walk out of the warehouse door, he hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly towards the door.

"Master Zhang..."

Master Zhang turned a deaf ear, walked out quickly without stopping.

Luo Yong's people slowly pushed the heavy door up, and the heavy sound of the door closing echoed in the warehouse, and the surroundings became dark.

The only sunlight fell from the bright tiles above.

Dust fluttered like insects in the light column.

Across the long table, Luo Yong laughed and laughed.

Others also laughed.

Gu Baiyun's heart sank.

Was he betrayed by the county government?

Is it over today?
