"The strength of the Tianfu Battle Formation is very strong. Although there is only one Xuan Realm master, it should not be underestimated. Three or five Xuan Realm masters may not be able to take advantage if they join together."
"We must not let anyone escape in this ambush, otherwise we will be in catastrophe."
“I hope all shopkeepers will actively participate.”
The demons in the courtyard couldn't shirk this matter, so they had no choice but to select a few with good abilities.
These should be the fringe figures of the Chamber of Commerce. Beihuang Hou knew it very well and kept these monsters in his heart.
"Since you are so reluctant, let me take the lead." Beihuang Hou personally set an example. He pointed to the hall where everyone had just had a banquet. There was a tall and thin man there with slender hands and protruding finger bones. It was as if there was only a layer of skin without flesh and blood, much like an eagle's claws.
If Beihuang Hou hadn't pointed it out and revealed his figure, no one present would have noticed it.
"This person is my personal bodyguard Ying Bai. He is an old man who has been with me since the Jiaozhou period. With him here, we will definitely succeed."
Then Beihuanghou turned his head and looked at the old man with a flat head.
"President Bao, you are the leader of the Damianhu Chamber of Commerce. You are the most powerful among all the shopkeepers present. You must always set an example."
"It will be a full moon soon. My son is guarding the Xingyue Pond. It is difficult to escape. You should go in person."
In full view of everyone, the flat-headed old man couldn't object even if it was just for his own reputation.
With his leadership, more and more shopkeepers joined in.
We will organize an expedition out of the city tonight and stop in front of the Tianfu Central Army.
The Marquis of Beihuang called Ying Bai to him and whispered: "Uncle Bai, we must let these guys show their faces in front of Liu Zong..."

"What do you mean, is there a way to enter Xingyue Pool?"
The girl suddenly reacted.
Lao Hu was a little embarrassed, but he still told the matter.
He was originally a local rogue in the neighborhood. He relied on deception and abduction to get some money to survive every day. Over time, he became somewhat famous in this area. But after all, he is still a low-level person and cannot be judged by big shots.
One day, he found out that the owner of Fulin Restaurant often spent money to buy some female fairies of unknown origins. He thought this was a big deal, so he took the initiative to contact the restaurant and took over the job.
But there are no good-looking female monsters around here. He just wanted to swindle a bunch of money and then hide away for a while to avoid the limelight.
Unexpectedly, he was still found. Just yesterday, two strong men put him in a sack and almost threw him into the lake.
"What is the connection between Fulin Restaurant and Xingyue Pool?" You Ziji and the girl did not find the connection between the two.
Lao Hu explained: "Do you still remember what I said yesterday? Only with the recommendation of those shopkeepers can you enter Xingyue Pool."
The bastard fox smacked his mouth and seemed to be envious of the shopkeepers.
"The shopkeeper of Fulin Restaurant has a hobby, that is, he likes young female monsters. The higher the talent, the better. However, no one can look down on him as long as he is capable and talented."
"So he keeps the recommended quota in his hand. As long as a female monster agrees to his request, he will give the quota with both hands, otherwise he will not give it to anyone."
"You are such a scoundrel, don't you have anyone to take care of you?" The girl was a little annoyed.
Lao Hu immediately shook his head, "This has always been like this here. Who let Xingyue Pool be controlled by these powerful people? They have more bizarre demands than the owner of Fulin Restaurant."
"You clearly want me to sell myself."
The girl reached out and grabbed Lao Hu's ears. It hurt so much that Lao Hu begged for mercy again and again.
"That's good, it gives me a chance."
"Who controls this Xingyue Pool? Tell me who are the powerful ones."
Lao Hu managed to save his ears and immediately moved away from the girl.
"It is an association formed by some big shopkeepers. The president is highly respected and is the owner of the Salt and Grain Store on West Street. It is said that he is a leopard spirit and his name is Bao Ying."
"By the way, his son Bao Ce is the supervisor of Xingyue Pool, and he is also engaged in the smuggling business. Both of them have transformed into inner elixirs. They are really powerful in Da Mian Lake. The shopkeeper of Fulin Restaurant is doing nothing in front of them. neither."
Having said this, Lao Hu suddenly reminded You Ziji to save him from going to Xingyue Pool first.
"The day after tomorrow is the day when Xingyue Pool opens. No one will be allowed in Xingyue Pool during these two days, so don't mess around."
In this case, You Ziji can only find girls to cooperate.
"We are friends now, my name is You Ziji." You Ziji said to the girl, he was still happy to be the company of the girl in front of him.
"We met by chance and helped each other. We only have this little fate. We may not meet each other in the future. My name means nothing to you. Just call me Little Fox." The girl suddenly spoke coldly, obviously not wanting to get too close to You Ziji. She suffered a lot of losses along the way, and now she still doesn't trust You Ziji.
You Ziji did not linger on this topic and asked: "Xiaohu, you have all the hands and feet, but only fox ears and tail. Can you deceive them with this appearance?"
Lao Hu knew a lot about this, and interrupted: "Little brother, you don't know, the fox demon itself is very spiritual, and those with good talent can transform in advance."
"According to common sense, foundation-building monsters are half human and half beast. We fox monsters can achieve this effect by practicing Qi. No one will doubt it."
"Then why do you still look like a fox?" You Ziji asked in surprise.
Lao Hu coughed a few times and stopped talking, while the girl was a little impatient.
"Stop talking nonsense here, Lao Hu, you will lead the way, and we will go together."
"I just grabbed the spot at Fulin Restaurant."
Lao Hu was startled, "Should I go with you? Let's forget it."
"If you don't go, who will lead the way?" The girl looked unkind.
"Auntie, this little brother is brave and extraordinary. His help is enough for you. I'd rather burn incense and worship the gods at home to help you two triumphantly."
Several people were still talking to themselves, and there were crowds of people outside the house. You Ziji took a look and found that there were monsters standing outside the house, including the two strong men who kidnapped Lao Hu yesterday.
The two people immediately shrank their heads when they saw You Ziji.
When Lao Hu saw that the restaurant owner had sent people to arrest him, he not only did not get nervous, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You don't need me anymore, the leader is here."
"Follow them and you can get to Fulin Restaurant."
Xiaohu immediately understood and said loudly, "Uncle, the person you mentioned is here, can I really enter the Xingyue Pool?"
The toad spirit who was the leader of the crowd was originally very ferocious. When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that this bastard fox actually found a beautiful fairy to come out. He did a good job.
The toad spirit immediately greeted him with a smile, "That's right, that's right, come with our shopkeeper, you can get any quota."
The little fox pretended to be happy and innocent.
All the big men, whether they were monsters or humans, were bewildered by her cute appearance, and they felt a sense of love and care in their hearts. Some even had the absurd idea of running away with the little fox.
But an inappropriate voice sounded.
"What about me, what about me? I also want to enter the Xingyue Pool." You Ziji tried his best to show his presence at the side.
The Toad Spirit had a look of disgust on his face, "Our shopkeeper only wants women, you stinky boy, get out of here."
With that said, he pushed You Ziji with a palm.
How could he hit You Ziji with his three-legged cat skills? Instead, You Ziji grabbed his wrist and couldn't move.
The toad spirit was furious, "Come together and beat this brat to death."
They were angry because You Ziji had ruined the atmosphere just now, and rushed forward with howls and screams.
The little fox watched with interest, and suddenly a plan came to his mind. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he thought of a way to deal with the wanderer and vent his anger about last night's incident.
You Ziji used three punches and two kicks to deal with the monsters that came up to him. He then flew out a chopping palm and hit the monsters behind him, making the toad spirit's legs weak with fear.
"Wait." Xiaohu suddenly said.
When You Ziji heard the sound, his outstretched palm was forcefully taken back, and he showed his hand in front of everyone. This was exactly the technique Xiaohu used in the study last night.
This boy learned so quickly. The little fox put aside the surprise in his mind, walked to the Toad Spirit, and said:
"My lord, this is my younger brother. He is a man of brute strength. He has never seen the market. It's better to take him with you to save him from causing trouble."
Toad thought carefully and brought him to the shopkeeper first to see what other waves he could come up with.
Toad Spirit gave Lao Hu a bag of reward money, then ignored him and took his wounded, You Ziji and Xiao Hu to the restaurant.
The restaurant is not very ornately decorated, but it is one of the few places in Da Mian Lake where you can eat serious food. Business is booming every day and the seats are full of guests. However, in recent days, due to the arrival of a group of Tianfu Chinese soldiers, the whole street has become noisy. If there is no peace, business will naturally be deserted.
Xiaohu said to Youziji: "Brother, you better stop pestering me. I have made up my mind to go to Xingyue Pool." After that, he winked at Youziji.
You Ziji only wondered what she had planned. Just as he was about to reply, he saw the girl turn around and leave, going straight to the door of the restaurant.
The girl was born beautiful, but even without the guidance of the toad spirit, according to the habits of the restaurant owner, she could easily sneak in. However, You Ziji was stopped by the gatekeeper on the grounds that his clothes were in tatters.
The restaurant owner was a fat man with a big belly, a big and short head, no neck, but bright black eyes, and slender hands and feet. He was sitting on a recliner and was carried out.
He was covered with a transparent and thin quilt. When he stretched out, the quilt opened and trembled, but it turned out to be two pairs of transparent insect wings. The lower body had not yet completely transformed. It looked like insect feet. I don’t know what kind of monster it is.
When the boss saw the little fox, his mind wandered. He felt that this little vixen had a unique appearance that he had never seen before. Although it had not yet grown, it had a unique flavor and he was very obsessed with it.
Hearing that he had come to seek refuge in exchange for the right to enter Xingyue Pool, he was even more delighted.
Suddenly there was a noise outside, and it seemed like someone was having an argument outside.
"Who is that person outside?" The fat boss thought it was someone who wanted to come for dinner, which was a good thing, but now he couldn't think of doing business.
"Tell them we're closed today and won't be making meals."
"I just want to spend time with my little beauty today."
The last sentence was said to the little fox, giving the little girl goosebumps. It's just that she still needed help from the fat boss, so she didn't fall out on the spot.
Xiaohu put on a pitiful expression and said:
"Shopkeeper, please help me. Your men just now are no match for the man outside. I didn't dare to tell the truth."
"That person was someone I met after I left home and kept pestering me."
"He is very capable. I am no match for him. In front of outsiders, I can only treat him as brother and sister. I dare not say anything."
"When this person heard that I wanted to ask you, the shopkeeper, to help me get the qualification for Xingyue Pool, he said that you were jealous. You were lying to a little girl like me, and you wouldn't recommend it sincerely."
The little fox was so pretentious that I actually felt pity for him, which made the fat boss very possessive.
"What?! How could I be the kind of person who doesn't keep his word?"
"What a good boy, how dare you threaten my beauty and slander my reputation."
"Put him in and beat him to death!"
"Don't alert the Yamen."
The fat boss waved his fat hand and You Ziji entered the house. Several nearby guards surrounded him with swords and blocked You Ziji's escape.
You Ziji felt something was wrong and wanted to greet Xiaohu, but he saw the girl lowered her eyes and did not look at him.
This is different from what I thought before. It should be a sneak attack to take down the fat boss. Is it possible to change the routine?
You Ziji found that the atmosphere around him was not right. He didn't know Xiaohu's purpose, so he decided to delay speaking and follow the prompts Xiaohu gave when he was at the door...
"Sister, don't go to Xingyue Pool, come with me quickly."
