As the sky was getting brighter, Chu Xisheng was receiving several guests in the brightly lit ship at the East Bank Pier.
"Young Master, don't you want to buy one? This King Kong puppet only costs 1.2 million taels of magic silver."
A handsome man wearing a scribe's robe was vigorously slapping a nine-foot-tall, burly, all-metal humanoid puppet next to him, covered in iron armor, making a loud sound.
The handsome man's voice was seductive: "Its combat power is lower than the fifth level! I guarantee that it is a real fifth level, and its combat power is only two levels lower than your Commander Shen Zhou. Master Chu's banner only costs 1.2 million taels." With magic silver, you can have a fifth-grade master who is loyal, hard-working and uncomplaining!
What your Iron Banner Gang lacks now is a unique fifth-grade master. You guys should not be short of money now. I know that you robbed at least 1.6 million taels of magic silver alone tonight, and countless other supplies. Expect to grab more in the next few days. "
Chu Xisheng crossed his arms and looked at the middle-aged scholar with an expressionless face: "I'll say it again, I'm not interested in you guys. Everyone knows the tricks of your Shenji Sect. There's no need for Mr. Zhong to waste any more words. Now I only need repeating heavy crossbows, scorpion crossbows, immortal calamities, etc. If you still have rune heavy arrows, I can also purchase them in large quantities and trade them in cash."
The business logic of Shenjimen is similar to that of modern large enterprises.
One million and two hundred thousand taels of magic silver, exchanged for a low-level fifth-grade master, seemed like a very good deal.
However, Shenjimen's 'King Kong Puppet' has a bad reputation, as its components are damaged every time it is fought. Even if you don't fight, you will still have problems after three months.
Then it would be a huge trouble to repair it. In order to prevent the 1.2 million taels of magic silver from going to waste, the buyer could only let them squeeze it. Not only do you have to hire someone to repair it, but you also have to buy various components at a high price.
What he really needs now is a military heavy crossbow that can allow ordinary martial arts practitioners to fight against masters. The bigger the better.
There are also rune heavy arrows. The Iron Banner Gang's reserve of rune heavy arrows is already slightly insufficient.
The handsome man twitched his lips when he heard this, and sat down with regret. He then looked solemn: "Young Flag Master, I can make the decision to sell you the Shenji Sect's storage reserves in Dongzhou. A thirty-stone 'Nine Stars' heavy crossbow and three thousand taels of magic silver, a total of one One hundred pieces; two thousand taels of magic silver for the Immortal Tribulation, a total of one hundred pieces;
The scorpion crossbow costs 1,500 taels of magic silver, a total of fifty; the eight-arm bed crossbow costs 5,000 taels of magic silver, a total of thirty; the rune heavy arrows cost 50 taels of magic silver, and I can give you ten Ten thousand. The total of these things is 1,225,000 taels. I'll wipe out the small change for you, totaling 1,220,000 taels. "
Chu Xisheng was thoughtful.
He knew that the reason why the Nine Stars Heavy Crossbow and the Immortal Tribulation were more expensive than the Scorpion Crossbow was that they were smaller and lighter, could be carried by a single person, were powerful, and were more capable of restraining high-level martial arts cultivators.
The nine-star heavy crossbow of Shenji Sect is particularly powerful.
"I know the price, don't try to deceive me. Your rune-heavy arrows are expired military supplies eliminated from the frontier army. All of them, 850,000 taels, I want them all."
Chu Xisheng looked at the handsome man intently: "Besides, I know that you also have two 'Four-Armed God-killing Crossbows' in your hands, which are counted as one million taels in total."
The 'Four-Armed God-killing Crossbow' is a true military weapon, a magical weapon specially created for the Titan race.
It is said that even a fourth-level giant spirit can be seriously injured with one blow.
Tie Kuangren once purchased three "Four-Armed God-killing Crossbows" and placed them all in the stone castle in Mijiazhuang.
When Tie Xiaosheng broke through, he actually brought them out.
However, it was not until recently that these three 'Four-Armed God-killing Crossbows' were brought back to Xishan Town by the elite chief rudder.
——In the water battle upstream not long ago, if Tie Xiaosheng had the help of these three 'Four-Armed God-killing Crossbows', Ren Daoxing would definitely die!
"It seems that Banner Master Chu is very well-informed."
The handsome man narrowed his eyes and thought that this must be Wu Meiniang from the ancient market.
He then smiled: "Deal! By the way, we also have thousands of sets of armor and swords, thousands of heavy crossbows and four-arm crossbows, which can be sold at a 30% discount. Are you interested, young flag master?"
But Chu Xisheng shook his head and picked up the tea cup with a lack of interest: "Mr. Zhong, please send these things to the east dock of the city as soon as possible."
The handsome man knew that this meant serving tea to see off the guests.
He didn't feel disappointed and stood up to say goodbye with a smile.
The Iron Banner Gang does not lack ordinary ordnance now. They seized nearly 20,000 swords, guns, swords and halberds, and tens of thousands of armors just under Xiushui City.
Later, when Tie Xiaosheng summoned the navy, they looted the ancient market and robbed all the shops of the prefect, Shangguan family and Shen family.
As far as the handsome man knew, the Iron Flag Gang had more than a thousand pairs of armor alone at this time.
When Tie Xiaosheng led his army to the north, all the ninth-grade martial arts cultivators under his command wore leather armor and brought with them five thousand military heavy bows.
Not to mention, the Iron Banner Gang swept through all the forts along the west bank of the Shenxiu River, seized countless weapons, and was more than enough to arm tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, it is natural that this business cannot be done.
"That's right!" The handsome man suddenly remembered something and turned around: "Young Master Chu! The Demon War Tower asked me to ask you, do you have any plans to raise the flag for rebellion? Are you willing to cooperate with them?
If you are willing, they will send two fourth-grade true disciples to help you. You possess the blood of 'Burial Sky', and they are very interested in you. "
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at the handsome man.
I thought it was not unreasonable to think that the imperial court wanted the 'Shenji Sect' all over the world.
They simply wished that the world would be in chaos so that they could sell all kinds of ordnance.
As for the Demon War Tower mentioned by this person, it is one of the five first-class demon sects in the world. It worships the three ancient demon gods "Li Tan", the god of war, "Zi Yu", the god of war, and "Zi Yu", the god of war.
Therefore, the disciples of the Demonic War Tower are all war madmen.
They were interested in both civil and foreign wars.
Some of them are extra crazy and like to start various wars in the world to please the three demon gods.
Chu Xisheng thought for a moment, but did not refuse: "Mr. Zhong, please leave a Qiankun Flying Sword."
He hasn't planned to rebel yet.
But if forced by the current situation, Chu Xisheng will not hesitate.
The handsome man smiled when he heard this, raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, and sent a Qiankun Flying Sword in front of Chu Xisheng.
"This Qiankun Flying Sword can be used to contact an elder of the Demonic War Tower. If the Young Banner Master is determined, he can use this sword to find him. The Young Banner Master is extremely talented. Even if he cannot enter the Wuxiang Divine Sect, he can still rely on your The 'Burial Sky' bloodline has gained a place in the Demonic War Tower."
The middle-aged scholar took the King Kong puppet and walked off the deck with a clatter.
His demeanor and posture are confident, calm, and quite chic.
But as soon as the King Kong puppet stepped off the deck, smoke began to emit from its head.
The handsome man's face suddenly darkened and he was extremely embarrassed.
He had to quicken his pace and hurried away with the smoking King Kong puppet.
Chu Xi thought it was a good thing she didn't buy it, otherwise she would have suffered a big loss.
At this time, his eyes turned to another guest.
This is a boy about sixteen years old.
His nose was huge, taking up almost a fifth of his face. His skin was pale and he looked like a dead person.
That was 'Corpse Dog' Li Manshan, the young hero who once entered the Linhai Ninth Level Secret Realm with him.
Behind the young man, there was a 'person' standing. There was a piece of talisman stuck on his face, and he stood there upright, with corpse evil lingering all over his body, and his skin was actually a bit paler than Li Manshan's.
Chu Xisheng's eyebrows raised slightly: "Manshan, have you brought everything I want?"
"Brought it!"
Li Manshan nodded slightly with a solemn expression.
He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, as well as a talisman and a disc-shaped magic weapon.
"In this bottle is a drop of 'blood of the true god', which is worth one hundred thousand taels of magic silver. It can upgrade the talent of your horo fish zombie to the king level, which is equivalent to the top talent of our human race.
The talisman is the 'God Control Seal', worth 50,000 taels of magic silver, which can strengthen your control over the zombies. After you feed it the 'Blood of the True God', it will not resist the implantation. The magic weapon is the 'Water Meridian Plate', worth thirty thousand taels of magic silver. It is a magic weapon we specially created for the evil corpse, which can strengthen all its water magical powers. "
When Li Manshan said this, he frowned again and said with a slight hesitation: "Brother Chu, the Shenji Sect and the Demonic War Tower are both the same, so I hope the world will not be in chaos! Since Emperor Jianyuan came to the throne, he has expanded the territory and worked hard to govern. He is a A rare British master. But today the world is relatively peaceful, and although the people are in poverty, they can still get by."
Chu Xisheng nodded slightly. This was the reason why he did not want to directly raise the flag of rebellion.
First, the strength is insufficient; second, the army is causing trouble and harming the people; third, there is no mass base——
This is the last option.
However, no matter how reluctant Chu Xisheng was, he would not give up this option.
He is not a hero who says, "I would rather betray the world than the world betrays me", but he will never sit back and wait for death.
"Brother Li, don't worry, I'm measured."
Chu Xisheng took all three things in front of Li Manshan's case into his hands.
He first walked to the porthole and poured out the 'Blood of the True God' from the jade bottle.
The blood of the true god is different from the blood of the ancestor god.
The blood of the ancestors is a product extracted from the blood of the descendants of the giant gods.
The blood of the true god is taken directly from the giant god.
If this 'blood of the true god' could be refined into a wound pill, it would be enough to restore 20% of Chu Yunyun's true energy.
However, the price of this kind of wound elixir is many times higher than the 'Blood of the True God'.
The horo fish zombie hiding under the water was so excited that it went crazy after swallowing this drop of 'blood of the true god'. The ten tentacles rolled and twisted violently, creating waves under the water.
This zombie showed no resistance to the 'God Control Seal' implanted by Chu Xisheng. He allowed Chu Xisheng to dig a hole in its head and embed the seal into its body.
The God-Controlling Seal is expensive, and it is rare for a reason.
Not only does it allow Chu Xisheng to issue orders from a thousand miles away, it also ensures his control over the Ho Luoyu zombies.
Even if Chu Xisheng leaves Xiushui in the future, this horofish zombie will not escape his control.
This zombie will faithfully carry out his orders and guard the small canal for him.
Chu Xisheng gave He Luoyu the magic weapon called the 'Water Scripture Plate', and then let him dive deep into the river bottom to cultivate.
The corners of his lips raised slightly, looking quite satisfied.
This horo fish zombie finally has real lower-level combat power of the fifth grade, and its power increases even more in the river. Isn't it much stronger than the 'Vajra Puppet'?
"Um~" At this time, Li Manshan scratched his head again: "Actually, our parents asked me to tell you that if you are short of experts now, our Corpse Mountain Sect also has more than forty fifth-grade elixir corpses for you to choose from."
Chu Xisheng couldn't help but sneer secretly.
Corpse Mountain Sect's business experience is not much worse than that of Shenji Sect.
If Chu Xisheng wanted to hire a lower-level fifth-grade elixir corpse, he would not only have to pay a commission of 400,000 taels of magic silver a year, but also spend hundreds of thousands of taels of magic silver to support it.
These evil corpses are loyal, reliable, and have decent combat capabilities. However, Chu Xisheng does not have that much money to cheapen the Corpse Mountain Sect.
It was already very difficult for him to raise a horo fish corpse.
Chu Xisheng's face showed no emotion. He shook his head: "What our Iron Banner Gang lacks is not a fifth-grade master, but an iron madman. One or two fifth-grade masters will not help. Brother Li, you should go down the mountain quickly. Have you experienced it? Are you interested in joining our Iron Flag Gang? "
He looked at Li Manshan and the corpse behind Li Manshan with yellow paper in his eyes.
"My gang is willing to take up the position of deputy hall master and receive preferential treatment. If Brother Li can make meritorious service for our hall, the position of hall master will be within your reach. You should remember Zhou Liangchen? He already rules hundreds of people. I have already Prepare to appoint him as the head of the hall."
Li Manshan's cultivation level has reached the seventh level, and his ranking on the Dongzhou Qingyun Ranking has reached 49th. He is truly a genius of the world.
The evil corpse behind this person is a sixth-grade golden corpse. It is at the same level as the Ho Luo Fish Zombie, and its talent is even higher.
This shows that Li Manshan has an extraordinary status in Corpse Mountain Sect.
Chu Xisheng heard that the current head of Corpse Mountain Sect was named Li.
However, according to the rules of the Corpse Mountain Sect, even the son of the sect leader must make a living by himself and find ways to obtain the resources for cultivation.
Chu Yunyun, who was practicing magic in the corner of the room, couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
Corpse Mountain Sect's abacus was very good, but Chu Xisheng's hoe was also very powerful.
Li Manshan's face moved slightly, and then he hugged his fists with joy: "It's my wish, but I don't dare to invite you!"
He greatly admired Chu Xisheng's personality, literary skills and military skills.
Nowadays, among the young people in Dongzhou, who doesn’t know that Chu Xisheng is talented in both civil and military affairs, and has high righteousness and thin clouds?
Yesterday evening, Chu Xisheng raised a flag to recruit troops at the east dock of the city, causing a sensation in the entire Dongzhou Wulin.
Nowadays, all the martial arts heroes in Dongzhou are rushing to Xiushui, hoping to serve and be proud of the loyal and unparalleled leader of the Chu banner.
As for the current situation of the Iron Flag Gang, it is indeed a bit embarrassing.
The Iron Banner Gang is being suppressed by the imperial court. It is on the verge of rebelling against thieves, and its future is worrying.
Li Manshan didn't care. He believed that Chu Xisheng's ability would definitely accomplish great things.
If things go wrong, just escape from this place and wander around the world.
Their Corpse Mountain Sect is not a righteous sect, and the sect's rules only require that its disciples not enter the devil's path.
Now that he has joined the world, it is no big deal to memorize one or two wanted notices or even join the gang.
Chu Xisheng almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and clasped his fists in his hands: "Then please, Brother Li, please condescend to our chief helmsman and serve as the deputy head of the Iron Flag Hall!"
As he said this, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he looked outside.
Ji Qianqian and Wei Yang were seen walking in from the outside with a man.
He was a middle-aged man with unshaven beard and ragged clothes.
He is of medium build, with a strong build, a chin, and a tiger beard. His appearance looks quite abject, but his eyes are filled with cold light when they open and close.
"This is?"
Li Manshan's mind was sharp and he could sense the rich blood energy surrounding this man.
He instinctively clenched his fists, showing defensiveness.
Wei Yang, with a serious look on his face, came to Chu Xisheng and bowed.
"Young Flag Master! This person's name is Bu Yancheng. He is a fifth-grade silver medalist in the Shasheng Tower, and his bandit name is the 'Eight-Armed Diamond Sword'. I waited all night in the Shasheng Tower, and only this person can meet the requirements."
"Eight-armed Vajra Sword walking in Yancheng?"
Chu Xisheng did not feel contempt for the words 'five-grade silver medal'. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man in front of him: "I have heard of your name, and you are among the forty-three gangsters in Dongzhou. However, It is said that the success rate of your mission in the Killing Building is not very high?"
Bu Yancheng smiled casually, and sat in front of Chu Xisheng with a hoarse voice: "I am a person who does things as I please. Some tasks are not to my liking. Sometimes I feel compassion and give up halfway.
What's more, what the Young Flag Master is looking for is not a killer, but someone who can compete with Sikong Chan. Can he help your Iron Banner Gang calm the situation? My mission success rate has nothing to do with what you entrusted me with, it just needs to be strong enough, right? "
Chu Xisheng's face was expressionless: "Your Excellency is strong enough, but what I want is a reliable person!"
This person's mission success rate is indeed not high, but so far, five fifth-grade masters have died in his hands.
A few months ago, Bu Yancheng even had a battle with the fourth-grade purple-robed chief capturer Oriental Pearl, who was ranked among the top 15 in the Dongzhou Famous Heroes list. This man actually lasted for a full 130 rounds and escaped unscathed.
This person may not be as strong as Tie Kuangren, but he is enough to compete with Sikong Chan.
"I'm very reliable."
Bu Yancheng smiled and showed his white teeth: "As long as I am not killing people, my credibility is still very reliable. In the Shasheng Tower, my escort mission has a 100% success rate. If you are still worried, I can do it in the Shasheng Tower. Put a deposit of one hundred thousand taels of magic silver as guarantee."
Chu Xisheng was stunned when he heard this and looked at Lu Pingyuan.
Lu Pingyuan immediately nodded slightly: "I checked his mission records. There were seven escort missions in total, and they were all fine."
"Are you satisfied?"
Bu Yancheng crossed his arms and raised his chin slightly: "Let's talk about the salary again. Fifteen thousand taels of magic silver a month is not enough. I want 200,000 taels of magic silver a month! After the two-month mission time limit, if you If you want to renew, you have to pay more.”
"Two hundred thousand taels?"
Ji Qianqian sneered: "Old escort Long from the Huwei Escort Agency in Beijing shoots a golden escort for this price."
When she said this, her voice choked slightly.
This is inconsistent with her current status. How could she, who was born in the mountains, know about things in the capital?
However, neither Chu Xisheng nor Lu Pingyuan paid attention.
Only Chu Yunyun in the corner glanced sideways at Ji Qianqian.
In fact, in the battle yesterday afternoon, Chu Yunyun wanted to take advantage of the clouds and mist to punch Ji Qianqian to death.
The "Thirteen Taibao Henglian Jinzhong" practiced by this woman was able to hide it from her at first, but as time went by, it was finally exposed in front of her.
But yesterday, this woman was in the fog, helping Xishan Hall kill several masters in a row, working very hard.
So Chu Yunyun decided to take another look.
She wanted to know what the Chaotianzhu of Jin Yiwei was lurking beside Chu Xisheng, what was his intention? Judging from the woman's behavior, it didn't look like she was investigating the two of them.
Bu Yancheng didn't know what the people in the room were thinking, so he smiled casually: "Of course I am worth the price! If you feel that the old bodyguard Long is a good deal, you can hire him. To put it bluntly, Jin Dong There are not many people in the state who can help you Iron Banner Gang hold on to the situation and are not afraid of the government. They are definitely not more than five fingers. I am one of them.
Anyone with a cultivation level below the fourth rank of Dongzhou was not looked down upon by Bu. Level 4 or above, if Bu has enough bows and crossbows, he can help you fight back. I take you 200,000 taels of magic silver for a month, but you actually make the money! "
He opened his eyes and looked at Chu Xisheng with interest: "If I hadn't heard that you broke several private mines in Xiushui County and rescued tens of thousands of miners. No matter how much money you gave me, I wouldn't have accepted this job. A piece of business.”
Chu Xisheng's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Xishantang did break up several private mines, because those miners were excellent sources of soldiers, which could add tens of thousands of people to the Iron Banner Gang and increase their momentum.
Chu Xisheng even planned to open three outer halls based on several large mines, and appoint Zhou Liangchen, Li Shenshan, and Wei Yang as hall leaders.
The many private mines in Daning do not have any government certificates or guarantees, and whoever has the power can occupy them.
The output of these private mines is enough to support more than 3,000 elite gang members.
Chu Xisheng also had the idea of building several government-run mines.
However, after careful consideration, he decided to give up. The slaves in the three large government-run mines were all powerful criminals, and there were many murderers among them, including dragons and snakes.
Even if they are beaten down, they will not be able to control them and will do bad things.
Chu Xisheng didn't expect that this incident would help him attract Bu Yancheng.
"Two hundred thousand taels of magic silver is still too expensive."
Chu Xisheng shook his head and was about to lower the price when he suddenly felt a warning sign.
Ji Qian Qian sensed the danger before he did.
She took off the long bow behind her and fired seven arrows out of the window in an instant, all of them powerful and powerful.
Chu Xisheng turned back and looked out the window, and then he saw several bloody figures coming on the waves twenty feet away.
One of them, Chu Xisheng, was very familiar.
That is none other than 'Blood Wind Sword' Li Daogui!
This man was dressed in blood-clothed clothes, and his eyes were locked on Chu Xisheng coldly and ruthlessly.
The blood energy lingered all over his body, and a huge bloody hurricane swirled around him.
Chu Xisheng was secretly awe-inspiring, and the hairs all over her body stood on end.
"Mr. Bu, two hundred thousand taels of magic silver a month! I agree!"
I have to say, he's pretty lucky!
"readily!"
Bu Yancheng laughed loudly. He stood up and ran away, directly crashing through the wooden wall of the large cabin and arriving above the water outside the ship.
"Don't worry! With Bu here, no one on the ground in Dongzhou can hurt you. You've made a lot of money from this business!"
Following Bu Yancheng's voice, the huge sword box he carried behind him opened with a clang, and a total of eight eight-sided Han swords flew out from it.
Bu Yancheng held a sword in each hand, and the other six swords were suspended in the void, as if there were six invisible hands holding six eight-sided Han swords.
Chu Xisheng knew that this was the method of "controlling the sword with Qi".
Bu Yancheng's Qi-based sword is extra powerful.
He used real energy to simulate human hands, and their flexibility and strength were no less than his own arms.
The next moment, there was a roaring sound on the river, causing huge waves!
The strong energy of Bu Yancheng and Li Daogui instantly tore apart the outer walls of the cabin beneath Chu Xisheng's feet.
"Get back here!"
Bu Yancheng slashed with eight swords and cut out eight sword gangs at the same time.
At this time, an eight-armed giant ape with the power of a demon appeared behind him.
The sword swung and rebuked, and actually tore apart the bloody wind that had been carried by Li Daogui, and Li Daogui himself was forced to retreat five feet.
Bu Yancheng smiled proudly, and Jian Gang continued to scold, blocking several other bloody figures.
"So what about the Blood Wind Thieves? In front of me, you are like a dragon and have to be coiled up, and a tiger has to lie down -"
Bu Yancheng's words suddenly stopped, because on the other side of the shore, there were several more bloody figures throwing themselves into the cabin.
It was a team that was ordered by Chu Xisheng to transport seized materials to the east dock of the city for storage. Several of them got into trouble after entering the dock, catching everyone off guard.
"grass!"
Bu Yancheng wanted to come back for help, but the Blood Wind Sword Li Daogui behind them had already made a comeback. He used a bloody hurricane to wrap up everyone in Bu Yancheng. A mouthful of blood sword spread out thousands of points of cold light.
In the cabin, Chu Xisheng looked solemn. He realized that the person who attacked him this time was definitely not just the Blood Wind Thief.
The Blood Wind Pirates' personnel were depleted by Jian Zangfeng's attack.
But this time, there were three people who attacked and killed him at the fifth level alone, and ten people at the sixth level!
In particular, there was a burly figure who crashed into the cabin from the shore, holding a huge blood cone. His aura was domineering, and his strength seemed to be no less than that of Blood Wind Sword Li Daogui!
The situation is a little bad——
(End of chapter)
