The main hall of the Blackwater Gang was extremely lively with people coming and going.
Since early in the morning, there has been no interruption in the mounts coming from all directions.
As for the carriage, not many people would ride in it today.
It’s too congested!
As one of the major forces in Qianshan City, the Blackwater Gang has hundreds of thousands of people under its jurisdiction.
Today not only the guard commanders, generals, and elders will come, but also the managers.
In the city: manage farmland, take care of butcher shop, vinegar shop, soy sauce shop...
Outside the city: countless serfs need management, countless working people need leadership.
Within the Blackwater Gang, there are therefore a large number of grassroots and middle-level managers.
They may not be very strong. The first requirement is to understand business and be able to settle accounts.
"Deputy Gang Leader Zhao is here!"
"Elder Li is here!"
"Deputy Gang Leader Lin is here"
"..."
The order of appearance is particular.
Those with the lowest status, those who have just reached the threshold to participate in the meeting, are the earliest to come.
These people are managers with ordinary strength, captains of ordinary guards, and martial arts masters who are older but of average strength.
They don't have seats.
After arriving, small groups sat on the steps of the square in front of the meeting hall, laughing and chatting.
"Da Niu! I haven't seen you for a year."
"Hey, Lao Bai!"
"You boy, with your body and bones, are you already a second-class warrior?"
"..."
"Lao Zhang, you old boy, don't leave. You have to let me learn from you today. It's a severe drought. How about your land, which produces more than eighty kilograms more per acre than mine?"
"What's there to say? Oh, look, isn't that the youngest Mr. Zhou from the butcher shop? My younger brother has a big business, so Mr. Zhou stays behind."
"Hey, hey, have you heard? Our conference will be very lively!"
"What's the big fuss?"
Some people looked strange, obviously knowing something.
More people are curious and confused.
It is human nature to like to watch the excitement.
We were all low-level members of the gang, chatting back and forth about who got a good knife, whose daughter married whose son, whose wife stole someone's wife, and so on.
There is nothing lively or attractive about these words.
"It is said that I have also heard about it. Please don't spread the word."
"Cut the nonsense, let's talk quickly with stick and stick on Tuesday."
"Look at you, you old white guy, you're so anxious!" The man's voice was low and low: "I heard that Deputy Lin is going to deal with one person."
"Against whom?"
"Is it the gang leader?!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
People around him dispersed with a roar.
If this word reaches the ears of the law enforcement team, everyone will be whipped.
The loud voice continued:
"The eldest son has arrived!"
Zhao Zhe took his wife Lin Shi and stepped into the square together.
"Big Prince"
"Big Prince"
People around said hello.
Zhao Zhe nodded sternly and stepped onto the high platform with Lin Shi.
Rumors continued to spread: "I heard that Gang Leader Lin is going to target a young master!"
"Hiss! Is there a dispute between the young masters?"
Everyone felt inexplicably powerful.
Positions such as Young Master and Deputy Gang Leader are bigger than the sky in their eyes.
By the time the sun rose, almost everyone had arrived.
On the high platform, the chairs of senior executives were almost full.
Only a few seats were left empty.
"Third Young Master has arrived!"
"Seventh Young Master has arrived!"
Tang Wen and Shui Yun, dressed in white, came side by side.
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must be filial.
Her clothes are as white as snow, her face is like a crown jade, her eyes are like bright stars, and her eyebrows are divided into eight colors.
When men look at Shui Yun and women look at Tang Wen, they can hardly move their eyes away.
When the two of them got closer, they subconsciously held their breath and widened their pupils!
Stepping onto the high platform, the following whispered:
"Is this the Seventh Young Master?"
“Really a magical person”
"What a perfect match for Master Shui."
"..."
Shui Yun's position was under Deputy Gang Leader Zhao, and next to her was Tang Wen.
This arrangement is not appropriate.
In order of priority, next to Shui Yun should be the Fourth Young Master.
But Shui Yun decided to arrange it this way.
The Fourth Young Master sat opposite the two men, together with the Eldest Young Master and the Sixth Young Master.
When they met for the first time, Tang Wen looked at them with a slight smile.
The eldest son's face was gloomy.
The woman next to him is very beautiful, with a rather mature look, and she has a bun on her head that is common for women.
In some works that Tang Wen has read, this kind of bun represents danger.
Maybe, someone will knock on the door the next moment:
'Madam, you don't want your husband to lose his position as the eldest son, right? '
Tang Wen smiled at her.
Lin Shi was surprised and smiled in front of everyone: This seventh son is so handsome, no wonder Shui Yun is fascinated by him!
"Have you seen him?" The eldest son sent a secret message to his wife Lin Shi.
Lin Shi shook her head gently.
Eldest Young Master: 'Have you never seen him say hello to you? '
Tang Wen didn't pay attention to the exchange between their husband and wife, and looked at the two people next to him.
The Fourth Young Master has a dignified appearance and clear eyes, but the way he looks at him is quite complicated.
Well, no, this guy looks at his senior sister in a more complicated way!
Love and supplication?
The rumors are true.
Does this martial arts idiot like my senior sister?
Well, find a chance to sink into the river!
The Sixth Young Master was younger, just twenty-five years old, and he did not hide his emotions.
His eyes met with Tang Wen's, showing indifference.
The rest of the deputy gang leaders, elders, generals and others looked at Tang Wen with expressions of curiosity, kindness, disdain, and disregard.
The eyes are complicated.
The position is complicated.
I roughly counted the number of people who were hostile or indifferent to me, and it was probably more than half.
"How does junior brother feel about participating in the meeting for the first time?"
Shuiyun Susu's voice sounded in her ears.
It's a secret message.
Tang Wen got close to her beautiful cheek, so close that he almost kissed her, then he covered her mouth with one hand and said:
"Senior sister, it seems that I have touched the interests of many people. Otherwise, with my handsome, charming, and charming appearance, they would not be able to rush to send women from home to marry me? How could they still do this? Hostile to me?"
"Junior brother, where did you come up with these new words? You're still blooming."
Shui Yun glanced at him and reached out to gently press on the back of his hand.
The fourth young master opposite was heartbroken.
He has been secretly in love for more than ten years and has never held hands with her.
Tang Wen had only been here a few days, but he was so close to the third sister!
They, they shouldn't have...
The Fourth Young Master closed his eyes, his heart aching, and the veins in his hand holding the sword popped out.
Sensing something, Shui Yun glanced at him and sent a message to Tang Wen: "This old man, you have to be careful about him."
Listening to the indifference and coldness in her voice, Tang Wen understood: the two of them were waiting in silence, and the relationship between the licking dog and the goddess was moved by themselves.
Seeing myself being close to my senior sister, my mentality was unbalanced.
Then this guy really needs to be focused on.
"The gang leader is here!"
The air became quiet.
People in the audience, stand up straight.
The people on the stage stood up to greet him.
"Lord Gang Leader"
"Gang leader!"
The leader of the Water Gang nodded gently and walked towards the stage.
Tang Wen also said: "Teacher."
The gang leader patted him on the shoulder casually and sat on the leader's seat.
Seeing this scene, many people's eyes changed.
how?
Is this Seventh Young Master still a disciple of the gang leader?
Everyone is here.
Even the mysterious Aunt Lian, whom Tang Wen had met several times, appeared beside the gang leader.
The meeting agenda begins.
As the saying goes, hold small meetings for big things and big meetings for small things.
The content of today's conference is complex, but not too important.
Deputy Gang Leader Zhao and Deputy Gang Leader Lin, who were in charge of gang affairs, stood up and spoke one after another.
The former said that business within the gang was booming, and there were dozens more martial arts masters, hundreds of warriors, and thousands of martial arts disciples.
Tang Wen sounded strange.
The Blackwater Gang has been basically stable for ten years.
In the past ten years, hasn't the Blackwater Gang grown by hundreds of martial arts masters, thousands of warriors, and tens of thousands of warriors?
This is a huge amount.
This did not match what he observed. The number of martial artists on and off the stage at this time did not match.
The Blackwater Gang recruits people from outside every year.
Isn’t it just that much in front of you?
Where did the missing people go?
There is no external war, no exaggerated mortality rate.
Could it be - underground?
Tang Wen observed calmly.
Others are watching him too.
Deputy gang leader Zhao returned to his seat.
Deputy Gang Lin’s lecture was simpler.
How much grain was harvested, how many houses were built, how many more livestock...
In total, less than five minutes.
One hundred thousand farmers, herdsmen, and merchants worked hard for a year, and it was just a matter of a few words from his mouth.
In early winter, the weather is not too cold.
The sun shines warmly on my body.
The meeting started at about nine o'clock.
Before ten o'clock, the two deputy gang leaders concluded their one-year summary.
After all, he is a warrior!
Just do things cleanly.
The deputy gang leader in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall stood up and announced the list of awards and promotions.
There were a lot of people, mostly martial arts masters and warriors, and this session lasted for a full hour.
The last person to become leader leaves.
Deputy Gang Leader Lin suddenly stared at Tang Wen with squinted eyes.
Feel his unkind gaze.
Tang Wen glanced at him: This old guy is a senior level six.
Far worse than Bai Shuo.
Don't let me get the chance.
Chop you!
This guy wants to manage the farmland outside the city, so he should have a chance.
Well, the dead are the most important.
Don't argue with him.
Tang Wen suddenly smiled at Deputy Gang Leader Lin.
The sun is bright and harmless to humans and animals.
Oh shit!
Looks like a rabbit!
What are you laughing laughing?
I won’t let you cry until later.
He pressed it with one hand, waited for the excited crowd to quiet down, and immediately announced something even more exciting:
"As usual, new young masters in the gang must accept challenges from others!"
"Wow!"
There was a heated discussion in the audience.
There was a buzz of discussion.
Tang Wen was moved in his heart, his face was gloomy, and he looked at Shui Yun from time to time.
This kind of performance is just short of writing the word guilty on the line.
Shui Yun transmitted the message with a brisk voice: "Junior brother, are you acting, or are you really unsure?"
Tang Wen gave her a look: Bet, don't forget the bet.
Shui Yun blinked and pretended to be stupid: "What? Junior brother, what do you mean by the look you gave me? Sister can't understand."
Tang Wen lowered his voice: "Huh! Senior sister, there's no need to pretend to be stupid. Don't care who comes up, I will definitely win our bet!"
When Shui Yun heard about the bet, Shui Yun's heart trembled: You brat, you know a lot of tricks. If you don't touch those maids, you're not extraordinary. You have to get my attention.
Shui Yun had mixed feelings. She wanted him to win, but she didn't want him to act wildly on her.
"Seventh Young Master, please come forward."
"Seventh Young Master!"
"Seventh Young Master Tang!!"
Deputy Gang Leader Lin was furious. No one had ever shouted three times and still didn't move!
The third lady doesn’t dare!
Tang Wen smiled and turned his head: "Here he is, he is here. Whoever wants to challenge just come up."
"You! Stand in the center of the stage." Deputy Gang Leader Lin's beard was erupting.
The smile on Tang Wen's face did not diminish, and he stood up and came to the stage without being verbose.
Deputy Gang Leader Lin’s eyes were like daggers.
In the presence of many deputy gang leaders and elders, especially the gang leader, he did not dare to use his mental power to influence Tang Wen.
However, there is no need to influence it.
The challenger is chosen by him.
It's not easy for Tang Wen to die today, but the word "disabled" will always fall on him!
"Invite the challenger to the stage!"
Tread, step, step.
Like a giant bear treading.
The footsteps were sonorous and powerful.
Tang Wen glanced at him. Not only did his footsteps sound like a giant bear's, but his body was also like a giant bear's.
He held a heavy battle ax in his hand.
The face of the battle ax is one meter square, as thick as a door, and the ax handle is only a little over one meter long.
There was buzzing discussion in the audience:
"It's [The Executioner—Zhao Xiong] from the Law Enforcement Hall."
"The door panel of this ax is so thick, are you afraid it will weigh a lot?"
"Hey, a hundred pounds? To tell you the truth, it's a total of two hundred and fourteen pounds!"
"What? The weapons of extraordinary strong men are not that heavy, right?"
"Zhao Xiong was born with supernatural powers. When he was a child, it was said that he grew up eating the milk of extraordinary bear beasts. His arms had several kilograms of strength. When he swung the big ax in his hand, even adults who had just entered the extraordinary world had to make him Two moves.”
"..."
Tang Wen was on the high platform and couldn't hear these discussions clearly.
Of course, the result is the same whether you listen or not.
He grimaced, thinking about how to act later.
Although we have a general countermeasure in place, once we get to the stage, we have to make adjustments according to the people sent by the other party and adjust how we want to perform!
Shui Yun analyzed it with him on the way here.
Who are the stronger martial arts masters in the gang who may appear today.
What are the characteristics?
However, Zhao Xiong was not among the names she mentioned.
Turning around, he met Shui Yun's eyes.
There was anger in the latter's eyes.
The anger of being deceived!
Shui Yun suppressed her anger and quickly sent a message: "Junior brother, no more competition! I will start."
No more competition?
How can that work?
Tang Wen almost forgot to disguise himself and sent a message directly to him.
He took a deep breath, pampering her and shaking his head.
Shui Yun frowned.
Tang Wen quickly made a sign of "one"!
one move?
Shui Yun understood what he meant, but couldn't believe it.
Voice transmission: "Junior brother, don't get carried away! At worst, I will grant you any reward you want."
Tang Wen was stunned and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Xiong is a new generation of young talent in this country, and Shui Yun knows his situation well.
Twenty-six years old, gifted with brute strength, stronger than a first-time superhuman.
It's just that in terms of perception and spiritual cultivation, it's a little worse.
Therefore, it has not been possible to achieve extraordinary breakthrough.
However, slow realization does not mean lack of realization.
Everyone is optimistic that if he accumulates a lot of experience and works hard for a few more years, he will become extraordinary and become a blockbuster!
In contrast, what could Tang Wen, a new martial artist, do to stop such a figure?
It's not that Tang Wen's talent is fake.
It’s just that he is too young, and no matter how good his talent is, it will take time to realize it.
Giving him another two years would be enough.
Shui Yun quickly transmitted the message and told Zhao Xiong's message.
Zhao Xiong came to the front.
Tang Wen looked at this two-meter-tall giant man and said to Deputy Gang Leader Lin: "With my level, this person comes up to challenge, does it follow the rules?"
Without waiting for his answer.
Deputy gang leader Zhao stood up: "Old Lin, you have passed. Zhao Xiong enjoys the first-level extraordinary treatment in the gang, and he comes up to challenge the martial arts master. How can he convince the crowd?!"
Deputy Gang Leader Lin ignored him, stared at Tang Wen, and said in a voice like spring thunder: "Seventh Young Master, are you too timid to fight?!"
The scene fell silent.
No matter how dull you are, you can still feel something interesting.
how?
Will Deputy Gang Leader Lin and Seventh Young Master not deal with them?
Everyone looked at the stage, looking at Zhao Xiong who looked like a strange beast, and looked at his giant ax that looked like a door panel!
Look at Tang Wen, who is well-proportioned and handsome.
Subconsciously, I sympathized with the seventh young master.
Deputy gang leader Lin's eyes widened and he took a step closer to Tang Wen: "If you are timid, give up your identity as a young master! The Blackwater Gang does not want weaklings!"
"Old Lin, what do you want to do?" Deputy Gang Leader Zhao came closer.
Tang Wen suppressed the urge to kill and said in a deep voice: "It's okay if I accept the challenge. If you lose, you will join the Seven Kills Hall in the future! Get along with me."
"There is no such rule!" Deputy Gang Leader Lin sneered. Although he felt that Tang Wen could not win no matter what, he still refused to give in.
Tang Wen lowered his voice: "I advise you not to be disrespectful. If you don't agree, I won't fight. At worst, I will let my master judge what is right and wrong."
"You!" Deputy Gang Leader Lin raised his hand and held back.
Tang Wen smiled: "Deputy Gang Leader Lin, you choose which way to go!"
"Shameless young man! What a disgrace to the Blackwater Gang! What do you think, Zhao Xiong?" Deputy Gang Leader Lin winked.
Tang Wen immediately pointed at Deputy Gang Leader Zhao and said, "Zhao Xiong, don't worry.
Deputy gang leader Zhao and I will act as guarantees.
Even if you lose and come to work under me.
No one can threaten you with your parents, wife and children.
Otherwise, they will be the enemies of our Blackwater Gang!
Deputy Gang Leader Lin, do you think so? "
Deputy Gang Leader Lin snorted: "Boy! I hope you can still laugh later! Zhao Xiong, play your part normally and don't worry about anyone's identity!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xiong agreed, staring at Tang Wen with a fierce look.
Deputy gang leader Lin looked at Tang Wen with disdain: Little bastard, fight with me?
Zhao Xiong is the thorn in the side of the Huang family. If you lose today, you are still alive. If you win by chance, will you die in the future without even knowing how?
A gong sounded, and Tang Wen and Zhao Xiong stood facing each other on the ring.
