In a courtyard.
A bonfire burned in the snow.
The courtyard door is open, no worries.
"Gang Leader Huang, a monk came out of Ning Mansion." A monk hurried into the hospital to report.
At the main seat, a female nun with a stern expression sat on her back, raising one of her long legs and stepping on another chair. After hearing the report from the gang members, she threw away the big game she had just finished eating. Gu, raised his head and glanced at his subordinates, and said sternly:
"Why are you so stunned? Just bring it."
"…yes."
"Huang...gang leader?"
"Mom, mother-in-law, unlike a man, speaks out when she has something to say."
A middle-aged monk who looked like a small leader stepped forward and said:
"Gang Leader Huang, the Royal Palace is always targeting our Wild Wolf Gang. Gang Leader Geng's intention is to make them suffer this time. Of course, the same is true for Ning Mansion, which is working with the Wang Palace. But we have to use serious means to win over the casual cultivators. It’s best not to expose yourself to fatal consequences, lest other families join in condemning our Wild Wolf Gang.”
"So..., Gang Leader Huang, please be patient."
The middle-aged monk spoke carefully, for fear of making Gang Leader Huang angry.
"Huh? Are you teaching this gang leader how to do things?"
"...Subordinates don't dare."
The middle-aged monk lowered his eyebrows and said nothing more.
All the members in the courtyard were silent.
…
on the street.
Chen Ping left Ning Mansion and returned along the main road. He estimated that he had walked a mile, but was suddenly stopped by four monks.
"Fellow Taoist, Leader Huang of the Wild Wolf Gang would like to see you, please come in." The leading middle-aged monk stepped forward.
Chen Ping's expression froze.
Wild Wolf Gang?
OK.
very good.
He actually came to the door on his own initiative.
"Everyone, I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but does your gang leader Huang recognize me?" Chen Ping suppressed the impulse in his heart and said calmly.
"It's not important. Fellow Taoist, just come with me. It's in the courtyard in front, a few steps away." The middle-aged monk did not explain much and made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Ping narrowed his eyes.
He quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind.
The courtyard that the middle-aged monk pointed to was in an alley on the left, indeed a few steps away.
The courtyard door seemed to be still open, but from this angle it was difficult to see what was going on inside.
The opponent's intentions are unknown, their number of people is unknown, and whether there is an ambush is unknown...
Too many unknowns.
Chen Ping had no intention of moving. At this moment, he regretted not finding a chance to change his face after leaving Ning Mansion:
"Fellow Taoist, please forgive me, and please speak clearly."
There are several houses around here, but no one seems to be around.
But I don't know if anyone is observing secretly.
Unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to fight the enemy in person with his true face.
Hearing Chen Ping's words, the middle-aged monk opposite him suddenly looked ugly:
"Fellow Taoist, are you looking down on our Wild Wolf Gang?"
The monk even held the long sword at his waist with one hand.
"Why!"
Chen Ping sighed softly.
Just when Chen Ping was already using his spiritual power and preparing for the worst, a female voice suddenly came from the alley:
"Fellow Taoist is being cautious and doesn't dare to enter the hospital. There's no harm in talking outside."
Chen Ping suddenly turned his head.
I saw a female cultivator in a fiery red robe, sitting carelessly on the wall of the house with the door open, not caring about the deep snow under her buttocks.
The female cultivator had a cynical look on her face and did not have the elegance of the female cultivator.
Looking down at Chen Ping.
"Gang Leader Huang."×4.
The four monks bowed their hands respectfully.
...It seems to be Gang Leader Huang, the third gang leader of the Wild Wolf Gang... Chen Ping matched the information given by Guo Zizhao in his mind, and also made plans in his mind.
After receiving Gang Leader Huang's promise, the middle-aged monk continued:
"Fellow Taoist came out of Ning Mansion, presumably preparing to leave Lianyun City, right?"
"People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. We, the Wild Wolf Gang, will also leave Lianyung City and follow Ning Mansion's route, and we will leave half a month after Ning Mansion leaves. By then, we only need to follow the road opened by Ning Mansion and get twice the result with half the effort. I sincerely invite fellow Taoists to go with me, and you will surely not refuse, right?"
After saying that, the monk looked at Chen Ping with a smile.
Never thought...
… Gang Leader Huang on the wall spoke again at this time.
"He lied to you. The Wild Wolf Gang left with the Liu Mansion." Gang Leader Huang showed a mouth of jagged teeth and a meaningful smile.
Middle-aged monk:......
...Auntie, please be patient.
"Just because of this? Whoever you follow out of the city is not leaving the city? If you dare to be kind, I will rely on your gang from now on." Chen Ping couldn't figure out what the other party meant, and pretended to be "relieved", as if he didn't hear Deputy Gang Leader Huang's words 'Friendly reminder'.
The middle-aged monk was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Chen Ping would automatically ignore the reminder from his naughty deputy gang leader.
But that's a good thing.
It shows that this person does not want to cause trouble.
What they want to do is disgust the palace, not really have to make trouble with all the casual cultivators.
Unless the other party takes the initiative to initiate a conflict, it is best not to kill anyone near Prince Ning's palace, lest other families see this as a blatant provocation.
This process requires careful control.
In order to make the casual cultivators fear them, they would not dare to follow Ning Mansion and Wang Mansion again under their threat. He also wants to make it appear to others that this is just a fair competition between the Wild Wolf Gang and the initiative to win over casual cultivators, without giving up the truth.
The middle-aged monk had nothing to do with his deputy gang leader who did not play by the rules and acted willfully.
The middle-aged monk said coldly:
"Fellow Taoist, please be happy. In that case, you shouldn't mind if you receive fifty spiritual stones in advance as commission, right?"
"He lied to you. He just wanted to get your protection money in vain." Gang Leader Huang on the wall grinned. He was obviously smiling, but his face looked particularly ferocious.
Four monks:...
Everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak.
"It's natural to collect some commission when I follow you and leave. Please ask fellow Taoist to take care of you when you arrive." Chen Ping said cheerfully.
Chen Ping couldn't figure out what the other party was doing, but he guessed that the most likely possibility was that the Wild Wolf Gang was doing the final crazy harvest.
Make a killing before you leave.
Anyway, no one can control anyone in Lianyuncheng now.
The middle-aged monk took the money bag thrown by Chen Ping, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a threatening smile:
"Easy to say, easy to say. Now that fellow Taoists have chosen our gang, it would not be kind enough to contact other families in the future. Our gang leader likes to associate with honest fellow Taoists."
Chen Ping agrees:
"It was natural then."
"In this case, the monk will leave first. Fellow Taoist bid farewell, and Gang Leader Huang bid farewell."
After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.
Seeing Chen Ping eagerly paying for his life, looking completely afraid of death, several gang members smiled happily.
Gang Leader Huang above the courtyard wall looked slightly disappointed:
"It's boring. I don't dare to resist. It's really boring. Hey, my sword hasn't seen blood for a long time. These days are really boring."
After saying that, he turned over and returned to the yard.
The other side.
Chen Ping walked around a few streets, found a hidden corner, transformed into Chen Changsheng in the north of the city, and turned back decisively.
During the past period of time, he roughly analyzed several key elements.
...The third gang leader came out, indicating that the second gang leader and Geng Zhongjie were probably not here.
... Gang leader Huang is confident, arrogant and quite arrogant. On the contrary, it shows that she is used to being proud, and such a person would not even bother setting traps.
Of course, whether these two speculations are true or not will be known once we go back and investigate.
This is a rare opportunity.
