Chapter 101: Catching the Ox-horned Pomfret

"Hongmen Banquet!"

As soon as Doctor Bai said these three words, Wu Zhong shook his head and said, "No, I don't think it's a Hongmen Banquet. If it was a Hongmen Banquet, it shouldn't be so grand."

"If they secretly kill someone from my fishing gang during a banquet, that would be breaking the rules. The higher-ups won't let them off when the time comes!"

After hearing this, Bai, who was embroidering nearby, said, "Will he be desperate? Knowing that Jiu Si killed his son, he must seek revenge!"

Doctor Bai shook his head and said, "No, if he had the guts to kill the people from our fishing gang, he would not have retreated that night!"

After hearing this, Wu Zhong nodded and said, "I still think it is more likely that he will establish his authority."

"Jiu Si, what do you think?"

Wu Zhong looked at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie still holds a very high status in the eyes of the Bai family, and they are willing to ask him about both big and small matters.

After hearing this, Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "I think both the possibility of establishing authority and the Hongmen Feast are possible."

"Oh, tell me more specifically."

After hearing this, Doctor Bai asked.

Chen Jie said, "First of all, the first point is to establish authority. This is self-evident. A 400-jin wild boar is not much different from a tiger. He was able to kill the wild boar with his palm, which shows that his skills have improved. I suspect he has reached the flesh training stage!"

"Practice the Flesh Realm!"

Hearing these three words, several people were secretly shocked. Although the Flesh Training Realm was just so-so under normal circumstances, and compared with a Dark Force master like Wu Hong, it was nothing. However, at this point in time, a Flesh Training Realm master appeared.

That means a lot has changed.

In the Battle of Baozheng, the future ownership of Xiantao Town may be completely changed because of this improvement.

Gang games often follow rules, and the rules are that victory or defeat must be decided by equal strength, and no experts can be asked for help in the middle of the game.

Just like now, if Wu Zhong wants to deal with Yu Biao, he can't go to the Fisherman's Gang to ask a dark force master for help.

Doesn’t the fishing gang have any hidden power experts?
No, there are a lot, but they cannot act against the local forces at will, otherwise it will be a mess, with them asking for hidden power here and there.

If your hidden energy is not enough, please use your transformed energy. If your transformed energy doesn’t work, please help the master!
It is very likely that a small friction will eventually lead to the demise of the high-end combat forces of both sides.

It went from an insignificant local war to a decisive battle.

That would be too great a loss.

Therefore, for the sake of protection, both sides formulated rules, such as what level of battle to fight, what characters to send out, and if anyone died or was injured, they would just take it as bad luck.

You can't make an adjustment later.

If you want revenge, wait for the next friction.

So at this time, Yu Biao killed the wild boar and held this pig-killing ceremony to show his authority, with the purpose of putting pressure on Wu Zhong.

By the way, I'd like to flex my muscles and make some wavering people in Xiantao Town realize the situation. Now our Cao Gang has the upper hand, so when you choose sides, you must think carefully before you do.

This should be Yu Biao’s purpose.

This is also one of the purposes of inviting Wu Zhong. Just as Wu Zhong analyzed, it is to reduce Wu Zhong's prestige.

Once the invitation is sent out, whether Wu Zhong goes or not, he can show off his power to the Fishing Gang. If he goes, it will be up to him to show off his muscles. Now several of them are injured and cannot compete with him, so they will naturally be outdone by him and achieve his goal.

If you don't go, that's even better. He will say that you are so intimidated by his reputation that you don't even dare to come.

As for the invitation to Chen Jie, it really has the meaning of the Hongmen Banquet. After all, Chen Jie got the news from the intelligence in the past two days that Yu Biao really narrowed down the scope of killing Yu Sanliu to himself.

In other words, he asked Chen Jie to come over, most likely to seek verification.

What if the verification is successful?

Will he take action on the spot?
Chen Jie wasn’t sure.

But as long as the verification is successful, there is no doubt that I will be on his hunting list.

Chen Jie explained his analysis. Doctor Bai frowned and said, "So Yu Biao wants to kill two birds with one stone?"

Chen Jie said: "It is not ruled out that they are testing the waters!"

After hearing this, Doctor Bai said, "In that case, Jiusi, you can't go this time."

Wu Zhong also said, "Yes, Jiu Si can't go. It would be dangerous if he went."

Chen Jie listened to what the two said, looked at Wu Zhong and asked, "Is Uncle Zhong going?"

Wu Zhong said: "Of course I have to go. I am the manager of the fish pen. If I don't go, and word gets out, wouldn't it mean that my fishing gang is afraid of him?"

Chen Jie nodded and said, "Then I want to go too!"

Wu Zhong frowned: "Jiu Si, you don't have to?"

Chen Jie said, "Uncle Zhong, I have my considerations. First, I am from Yulan. If I don't go, it will be a disgrace to Yulan."

"Second, Uncle Zhong, you know my ambitions. I will not be satisfied with staying in Xiantao Town forever. I want to show myself. If I don't dare to go this time, people will probably say that I am as timid as a mouse when they talk about me in the future."

"I absolutely cannot afford this. It will affect my future reputation."

"You should know how much influence a person's reputation has on his status in the underworld and his promotion within the gang."

"Third, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. If I don't dare to go, what does it mean? It means that I am guilty, and Yu Biao can directly determine that I am the murderer of Yu Sanliu!" "By then, his dirty tricks will surely come one after another, and I will be overwhelmed."

"In that case, I might as well go meet him this time. I am sure he will not fight with me at the banquet. This will cause too much trouble. He backed down last time, so he will not bet his life and property on me again!"

Chen Jie analyzed slowly. Wu Zhong felt that he could not persuade Chen Jie, and Wu Hong said, "It's okay, Dad, Grandpa, don't worry. I will accompany you and Jiu Si. Although I have only recovered a little in the past few days, it is not difficult to protect you from the hands of the flesh-training realm!"

What Wu Hong said was correct. Although he had been seriously injured these days and had not recovered, if he really broke out, he would not be afraid of leaving a chronic disease, and he might even be able to kill Yu Biao.

He is not the same person he was five or six days ago.

The blood ganoderma gave him enough blood and energy to support him in making one or two moves. Although it would not last long, as a dark force master, one or two moves from him, even if not at full strength, would be enough for those in the bright force realm to consider.

I may not be able to fight a long-term battle with you, but if you make me angry, I can take you away!
This is Wu Hong’s current situation.

As time goes by, Wu Hong's condition will get better and better, and he will be less and less afraid of threats.

After hearing what Wu Hong said, Doctor Bai said, "Hong'er, you are still injured and your strength is only one tenth of what it used to be. It's best not to do anything."

Wu Hong smiled and said, "It's okay, Grandpa. I'm just going there to intimidate him. He won't dare to do anything wrong."

Wu Hong was very confident. He had no choice but to be confident. As a master of hidden power, how could he be afraid of a man who trained himself physically? At this moment, he was not the seriously injured self who had difficulty walking.

As his strength returned, he became more confident.

After hearing what Wu Hong said, Wu Zhong also said, "Well, it's okay, Dad. I'll call Li Sanding tomorrow. With him around, Yu Biao will have to think twice before doing anything!"

After hearing this, Doctor Bai thought about it and decided it was a good idea.

After all, the opponent has already made a move, a show of force. If we just keep dodging, it would seem that we are afraid of him.

After thinking this through, Doctor Bai said, "Okay, then I'll call Li Sanding to accompany you tomorrow."

"Yes!"

After everyone had discussed the matter, they began to prepare for their respective events.

Chen Jie's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that Yu Biao had really advanced to the Flesh Refining Stage. The information was accurate, saying that Yu Biao had taken the Flesh Condensing Pills and had successfully trained his flesh in three days.

Killing pigs to show off your authority!
Haha, you can really do it, but this is also an opportunity for me.

Chen Jie thought about it and immediately sent someone to find Chen Xiaohu.

Chen Jie had obtained a variety of intelligence in the past few days, but the fifth piece of information, which was directional, was all focused on the ox-horned pomfret.

During this process, Chen Jie also obtained a lot of information.

This even includes the formation of the ox-horned pomfret.

The ox-horn pomfret is a kind of precious fish, but it has always been found that there are only one or two of them. No population of this ox-horn pomfret has been found, and even female ox-horn pomfret has never been found!
So where did this precious fish come from?

The intelligence revealed the origin of the ox-horn pomfret, which is actually a mutation of the male golden pomfret.

Golden pomfret is a very precious fish in the Mianshui River. A single fish can be sold for around fifty cents. It is very rare and famous for its delicious meat.

But this rare species is not as abnormal as the bullhead pomfret. Generally, fishermen can catch three to five of them in a month.

This ox-horned pomfret is actually the result of a genetic mutation in male golden pomfret, just like the very expensive butter crab sold in the market. Generally speaking, what is butter crab? It is actually a variant of crab roe, but the price can be ten times different.

This is also how the ox-horn pomfret is produced.

Chen Jie even suspected that many rare treasures were produced in this way.

Variations due to certain factors.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this ox-horn pomfret is a mutation of the golden pomfret and has some of the habits of the golden pomfret.

This fish likes cool weather and does not like sunlight. In other words, this fish seldom passes by places where it can be exposed to sunlight for a long time, let alone build a nest.

Based on this characteristic and combined with the intelligence, Chen Jie finally confirmed the hiding place of the fish.

However, Chen Jie was not in a hurry to catch it, because he was afraid of making a mistake. This ox-horn pomfret was his only hope of turning defeat into victory, and he must not lose it. Recently, the disciples of the Cao Gang have been wandering around the Mianshui River, and if they really found this fish.

It would be difficult to escape the notice of the Cao Gang, and with Yu Biao's venomous character, he would definitely snatch the fish, and he might not be able to keep it!

But tomorrow's pig-killing ceremony to establish authority is a good opportunity.

Yu Biao wants to invite all the people in the town to eat pork, so at least several thousand people will go. To serve a buffet for several thousand people, the Cao Gang will have to send at least a hundred people to serve the banquet and prevent any trouble. In this way, the Cao Gang's manpower will definitely be concentrated in the town.

Then there would be no one watching him on the Mian River.

Especially on that day, I will also go to the banquet, and Yu Biao will definitely pay more attention to me.

At this time, Chen Jie asked Xiaohu to secretly catch the black pomfret.

The possibility of being discovered is extremely small.

Isn't this the best way to pretend to be building a plank road while secretly attacking Chencang?
I can't even find such an opportunity at other times, but now Yu Biao has done this, it's really God's help to me.

That was why Chen Jie insisted on attending the banquet. Only if he went, would Yu Biao focus on him, be careless, and ignore the Mianshui River.

In this way, when Xiaohu catches the black pomfret, the chance of it being robbed is very low.

So this was not a pig-killing ceremony to show off one's authority, it was simply Chen Jie's secret plan to attack Chencang.

Chen Jie couldn't help laughing as he thought about it.

Yu Biao, Yu Biao, you establish your authority and I catch mine, let’s see who laughs last!
