Chapter 154: Nan Batian: Chen Jiusi, do you still take me seriously? ( words, please subscribe)

The headquarters of the fishing gang!

Located in the most prosperous West City Yongsheng Street and Angu Street in Mianshui County!

Covering an area the size of two White Tiger Halls and spanning two streets, it is the third largest building complex in Mianshui County!
The largest one is the Darughachi Palace, the second is the county government, and the third would be the headquarters of the fishing gang.

The headquarters of the fishing gang not only occupies a large area, but also has very strict security. Nan Batian has his own private guards, a total of eighteen people, known as the Eighteen Vajras.

Each of them is at the Liujin realm or above, and the chief and deputy leaders are even at the Tiegu realm.

However, as Nan Batian's guards, they seldom fought, because as the most powerful person in Mianshui County, almost no one dared to attack Nan Batian.

Therefore, the chief and deputy leaders are mostly just decorations and rarely have the opportunity to fight.

Nan Batian didn't care much about this, because he was absolutely confident in his own strength. He believed that he could solve any problem with his own strength.

Therefore, these guards are stationed at the fishing gang’s headquarters for guard duty all year round.

In fact, Chen Jie has become very familiar with the headquarters recently, because he comes here two or three times a month.

He did this on purpose, and it was what Nan Batian wanted to see, and it was also what Darughachi wanted to see.

Yelu plays a game of checks and balances, and the White Tiger Hall is a bargaining chip in his hand. No matter which side, Nan Batian or Liu Laoguai, is slightly stronger, he will use Chen Jie to adjust the balance.

For example, in the Feng Xuan incident half a year ago, the relationship between Chen Jie and Nan Batian almost reached a freezing point. If it had passed this freezing point, they would have become enemies.

Therefore, after the inauguration banquet, Yelu tipped off Chen Jie, asking him to cooperate with Nan Batian in the future and not to be too confrontational. He should ease the relationship between the two and remember that the White Tiger Hall was still a subordinate hall of the Fisherman's Gang.

What does this mean?

Chen Jie understood that Nan Batian had been too passive recently, and Old Monster Liu of the Cao Gang had also reaped the benefits recently. The balance in Yelu's hand was unbalanced again, so he had to find a balance again.

What you said, Chen Jie and Nan Batian have a bad relationship.

Sorry, it doesn't matter. In Yelu's eyes, Chen Jie is just a chess piece he helped up. Chess pieces cannot have the right to speak. You have to be obedient. If you don't, I can use the power of the entire county to remove you from Mianshui.

Not convinced?

This is power. Although Chen Jie has climbed up a social ladder from an ordinary citizen to the leader of the White Tiger Hall who can decide the life and death of many people, he is still a pawn in the hands of people at a higher level.

Not only him, but everyone is a pawn of a higher-level person. This is fate, and this is the rule of the game in this world.

Unless you can climb higher, to the point where no one can control you.

And Chen Jie is climbing towards this supreme position!

Only by becoming the Supreme can he get rid of the identity of a chess piece and become a chess player, the one who controls the world.

Otherwise, you will eventually be stepped on by others.

Chen Jie is now a chess piece, so he must follow the instructions of the chess player in Mianshui County. Of course, Nan Batian also has to follow the instructions of the chess player.

So, two people who regard each other as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, in this strange way, maintained harmony.

Chen Jie would come to report to Nan Batian regularly every month and say hello. Nan Batian would also put on a hypocritical smile when he saw Chen Jie. He even praised Chen Jie more than once as a meritorious contributor to the fishing gang, saying that he was young and promising and would become a great man in the future!

In fact, both sides wished the other side would die quickly, but under force majeure, they both hypocritically tried their best to conceal their friendliness.

The result was that ordinary gang members who did not know right from wrong suddenly discovered that these two people seemed to have a very good relationship, and Chen Jiusi seemed to be highly valued by the gang leader!

Only those who know the inner world know the true situation of the two.

Chen Jie brought Xiaohu with him, followed by fifty White Tiger Guards wearing uniform black martial arts uniforms with white tiger heads embroidered on their chests.

The team that Chen Jie led today was the Jia Battalion of the White Tiger Guard.

After half a year of expansion, reorganization, elimination and supplementation, the number of White Tiger Guards finally reached 150, divided into three combat camps, namely Camp A, Camp B and Camp C.

"Hey, the White Tiger Hall is here."

Chen Jie rode a tall horse and walked in the front, followed by Xiaohu. As soon as the group arrived at the gate of the headquarters, the guards guarding the gate immediately spoke.

Because in the entire fishing gang, only Chen Jie's White Tiger Hall can have such an orderly appearance.

When Chen Jie and his party arrived at the door, the guard at the door immediately came over and said, "Fifth Master, you are here."

Chen Jie smiled and asked, "Are all the others here?"

The guard heard this and said, "We are all here, just waiting for you, Fifth Master."

Chen Jie said: "Yeah."

As he spoke, Chen Jie winked at Xiao Hu, who immediately took out a silver ingot weighing two taels and handed it to the doorman, saying, "Buy a cup of tea."

"Thank you, Master Tiger."

Xiaohu has now become a master, after all, he is also a master of Hua Jin. Although he is at the bottom like Qin Hu and Qin Bao, he is also a well-known figure in Mianshui County. Besides, everyone knows that the most trusted confidant of the Fifth Master of Baihu Hall is this Chen Xiaohu, Master Hu.

Chen Jie brought Chen Xiaohu into the main gate of the headquarters. The brothers who came with them were not allowed to enter at will and could only wait at the door.

The two of them walked forward, and when the people at the headquarters saw Chen Jie, they all greeted him, "Fifth Master."

"Master Chen."

……

Soon the group arrived at the large conference room of the fishing gang's headquarters - [Loyalty Hall! ]

"You are late, you are late."

Chen Jie came in, clasped his fists and said a few words of apology. At this time, everyone sitting in the conference room bowed to Chen Jie.

Qin Ying said sarcastically: "Oh, I thought that Master Chen would not come today."

After hearing this, Chen Jie ignored Qin Ying and looked at Nan Batian. Now Qin Ying was just a barking dog and there was no need to pay attention to him.

Nan Batian cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, now that you're here, take a seat."

Chen Jie sat down at this time, and then he saw the people attending today's meeting. The one sitting in the main seat was Nan Batian, and the first seat on his left was himself, the new leader of the White Tiger Hall.

Sitting opposite was Qin Ying, and behind Qin Ying stood two people, Qin Hu and Qin Bao.

The two brothers glared at Chen Jie fiercely, especially Qin Hu, who looked at Chen Jie as if he were the enemy who murdered their father. There was nothing they could do, as this buddy was still leaking something in his words.

The tooth that was knocked out by Chen Jie last time has not grown out yet!

It seems that it can’t grow anymore.

Qin Bao was a man who looked 70% like Qin Hu. At this time, he was standing next to Qin Hu, staring at Chen Jie with fierce eyes, but Chen Jie ignored them.

However, Xiaohu stared at the two of them fiercely. These two guys deserved to be punished for being so rude to Brother Jiu Si!

It just so happened that I didn’t have enough fun in the last fight, so this time I’ll settle both new and old grudges together.

Xiaohu squinted his eyes and looked at them.

You will learn the habits of your master.

Qin Hu and Qin Bao are like Qin Ying, they like to make a lot of noise when doing things, while Xiaohu and Chen Jie have developed the habit of being rigorous and low-key. Although they hate to kill Qin Hu and Qin Bao now, they can still smile on their faces!

Chen Jie sat down and looked around. All the people at the table were old acquaintances, who were also the top leaders and powerful figures of the fishing gang.

Sitting on his lower left was Nan Batian's think tank, the inner hall master Tang Ziyue.

This person is a wise man. Although his martial arts skills are not outstanding and he is only at the Iron Bone Realm, no one dares to underestimate him. He is also a man of wisdom and strategies.

Diagonally opposite Chen Jie, sitting at Qin Ying's arm's length, was an old man with a goatee, who looked drowsy as he sat there.

This person is not the leader of the Fishermen's Gang, but he has the highest seniority. He is the oldest in the Fishermen's Gang and is also qualified to sit down and listen to the meeting. He is Doctor Liu, the leader of the eight doctors in the Fishermen's Gang, and is known as Liu Yishou in the underworld.

This person has a unique skill and is very accurate in diagnosing patients. Just by feeling the pulse, he can accurately diagnose any disease.

He is also the number one doctor in Mianshui County.

Precisely because of his seniority, Nan Batian would always invite the old man to attend meetings of this level.

Nan Batian looked at the people at the table and said, "Everyone, now that everyone is here, let's have a meeting!"

After Nan Batian finished saying this, everyone present became alert. Liu Yishou also tried hard to open his eyes, glanced at Nan Batian, and then put his hands in his pockets without saying a word.

"Well, I called you all here today because I was checking the accounts recently and found some problems."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and Nan Batian said, "According to the rules, each branch of the Fisherman's Gang operates independently and is responsible for its own profits and losses. As long as they pay the monthly fee on time, it's fine. But I found that the monthly fee paid by the Eagle Hall has been less than before in the past six months. What's going on?"

Nan Batian looked at Qin Ying. After hearing this, Qin Ying slammed the table and said angrily: "Damn it, it's all because of him!"

Qin Ying pointed at Chen Jie hatefully, his eyes full of anger.

Chen Jie picked up the teacup, glanced at Qin Ying and said, "Don't spit blood at me. Your Xiongying Hall can't pay the fee, what does it have to do with our Baihu Hall?"

Qin Ying said, "You still don't admit it, you bastard, you did this on purpose, I, the Eagle Hall, will never let you go."

"What a stinky mouth!"

Chen Jie's eyes turned cold, and then he shook his arm, using the power of his palm to directly shake the teacup in his hand towards Qin Ying. Qin Ying was shocked when he saw the teacup flying towards him, and then he jumped up and grabbed the teacup with his right hand like an eagle claw.

With a snap, the teacup was crushed by him, and then Qin Ying jumped up and rushed towards Chen Jie like a roc spreading its wings.

The claws in his hands were as sharp as eagle claws and suddenly grabbed Chen Jie.

Chen Jie was sitting on a chair at this time, his eyes slightly fixed. Xiao Hu drew his sword and was ready to attack, but Chen Jie stopped him, and then stretched out his right hand, and started with the strongest eighth move of the Stone Breaking Hand. Chen Jie named it [Dragon Catching Hand!]

Ouch...

Qin Ying was startled by the sound of a dragon's roar, but he did not retreat. He had not been doing nothing for the past six months. After continuous practice, he had broken through from the seventh level of Blood Eagle Claw to the eighth level. Now he was not afraid of Chen Jie.

At this time, she gritted her teeth and used the Blood Eagle Claw directly, which was a killing move against Chen Jie.

【The Condor Heroes' Three Claws! 】

Chen Jie looked at him attacking with his claw and directly met it with his palm.

Ouch...

With a loud bang, the palm and claw collided, and Qin Ying felt a huge force that almost knocked him away, and he still had two claws to make.

Just when he was about to lose, a figure suddenly approached him and grabbed Chen Jie's right hand and Qin Ying's hand with the other.

This move seems fair, but in fact, grabbing Chen Jie's hand is to prevent Chen Jie from attacking, and grabbing Qin Ying's hand is to prevent Qin Ying from making a fool of himself. It seems fair, but in fact it is biased.

Chen Jie remained calm, and Qin Ying's face lit up with joy.

He did not dare to use force with Chen Jie outside the headquarters, but he was not afraid at all inside the headquarters because he had Nan Batian backing him up.

Moreover, the action was instructed by Nan Batian. He also wanted to know how strong Chen Jie had become in the past six months.

After this test, he had an idea in mind.

And what about Chen Jie?

In fact, he also understood that Qin Ying's action must have been instructed by Nan Batian. Nan Batian wanted to test his strength, and he also wanted to test Nan Batian's strength.

With the previous attack, Chen Jie also tested Nan Batian's strength.

Stronger than yourself.

Chen Jie looked at his right wrist, which was covered with fine frost. You have to know that it is not winter yet, and it is not yet the point where your breath will turn into frost. However, Nan Batian can actually use the mysterious ice force to generate ice power. This is very terrifying and beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Moreover, his internal strength was so strong that Chen Jie felt a lot of pressure. If Chen Jie only relied on his current martial arts attainments such as the Stone-Breaking Hand, the Water-Controlling Palm, and the Yangchun Jue, he would definitely not be able to defeat Nan Batian.

But if he used the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, Chen Jie felt that he should be only slightly inferior to Nan Batian.

It would not be easy for him to kill himself. If he fought to the death, Chen Jie estimated that he would be killed, and Nan Batian would also be a cripple.

Both sides suffer losses, but I will suffer more.

I still haven't practiced for too short a time. Although I have various elixirs to assist me, Nan Batian also has an endless supply of elixirs. As the leader of the Fishing Gang, the resources he can obtain are more than Chen Jie.

This old guy is not easy to deal with.

Chen Jie was thinking, and Nan Batian also looked at Chen Jie at this time, his eyes full of shock. How could Chen Jiusi's progress be so fast!

Chen Jiusi is only eighteen years old, but the palm power he just displayed has reached the level of Peng Shizhong, or even exceeded it. What kind of talent is this?

He is too strong, we must not keep him!
If he were given another ten years to develop, I would probably not be his match!
Nan Batian looked at Chen Jie, his eyes full of fear.

He is like an old wolf in the pack, and Chen Jie is like a new wolf. The aging of the old wolf is an opportunity for the new wolf to take over. Both of them understand that there will definitely be a fight.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie and Nan Batian looked at each other.

Then Nan Batian angrily said, "What are you two doing? Do you still act like the leader of a gang? You took action during the meeting. Do you still take me, the gang leader, seriously?"

"Why, you all think you've grown powerful, right? Do you want me to give up the position of gang leader to you?"

"Qin Ying!"

"I know my mistake."

After hearing this, Qin Ying immediately bowed and apologized.

Nan Batian turned around and looked at Chen Jie again and said, "Chen Jiusi."

"I know my mistake."

At this time, Chen Jie also withdrew his right hand, and then clasped his fists to admit his mistake.

At the same time, he quietly practiced the Yangchun Jue, and the frost on his right arm melted little by little. Nan Batian took a look, said nothing, and sat back in his seat.

Chen Jie also sat down at this time. Nan Batian looked at Qin Ying and said, "Go back."

"Yes."

Qin Ying sat back directly.

Nan Batian said: "Go on, Qin Ying, why has the income of your Eagle Hall been declining in the past six months? Can you do it? If not, I will choose another leader!"

"Boss, we are innocent. The income of the three streets of our Eagle Hall has been decreasing in the past six months. It's all because of the White Tiger Hall!"

Qin Ying pointed at Chen Jie again, and Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "You haven't fought enough?"

Nan Batian cleared his throat and said, "Qin Ying, put your hands down. If you have something to say, let's talk about it. What's going on?"

Qin Ying sat down aggrieved after hearing this and said, "Boss, the White Tiger Hall won't give our Eagle Hall a way to survive. You know that we in the Eagle Hall have always relied on casinos, brothels, and loans to survive."

Nan Batian didn't say anything after hearing this. Qin Ying continued, "Among these, borrowing is the most important. However, in order to squeeze us out, the White Tiger Hall actually gave us a low-price loan. They paid out 10 times and got back 11 times. Listen, Gang Leader, is there such a low interest rate in the world? They are maliciously squeezing our Eagle Hall."

"Now all the people in our Eagle Hall have gone to White Tiger Hall to borrow money. We can't even lend out a penny. If we can't lend out money, the casinos and brothels will be affected. They won't let us survive!"

"Boss, you have to take care of this matter. If you don't, our Xiongying Hall will fight with his White Tiger Hall to the death. If the White Tiger Hall won't let our Xiongying Hall survive, then they won't be able to survive either!"

Qin Ying stood up again excitedly. Nan Batian turned to look at Chen Jie, who said calmly, "Boss, Qin Ying's talk is completely nonsense. The White Tiger Hall has not paid a penny less to the headquarters."

"Besides, I didn't do business in Hall Master Qin's territory. I was doing business in my own territory. How could it hinder Hall Master Qin's Eagle Hall? Gang leader, please make the decision and clear my name."

Chen Jie replied calmly.

"You are talking nonsense. You are lending money at a low price to squeeze our Eagle Hall. Your behavior is targeting me. Gang leader, you make the decision for me."

"Haha, I can charge whatever interest I want when I lend money in my territory. Is it your business?"

"Chen Jiusi, don't go too far. If you give me a low interest rate loan, all my people will come to you to borrow money. Who will I lend my money to?"

"Hey, Qin Ying, what do you mean by that? It's my fault that your people came to me to borrow money. If you feel unhappy, you should also borrow money according to the rule of 10 out of 10 and 11 back."

"Chen Jiusi, you are going too far. If I had the salt fields in Nanhu and the refined salt business to support me, I would also return eleven out of ten. You are just bullying me!"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Boss, do you understand? Hall Master Qin thinks that the Nanhu Salt Field is profitable, and he is jealous. In this case, you should apply to Lord Darughachi to give him the Nanhu Salt Field, and then Lord Darughachi's share will be given to you as well!"

Qin Ying was so angry after hearing this that he slammed the table and said, "Boss, did you hear that? I can tolerate him not taking me seriously because he relies on the protection of Lord Darughachi, but Boss, he even…"

"Shut up!"

Qin Ying was so angry that he spoke without thinking.

Nan Batian didn't want to escalate the conflict at this time, especially to turn the conflict into one between him and Darughachi, so he couldn't let Qin Ying speak all the words.

Qin Ying also reacted and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

Nan Batian glared at him and said, "Well, what Qin Ying said just now was indeed inappropriate. According to the gang rules, Qin Ying, you are indeed not qualified to ask Jiu Si not to allow low-price loans in his territory."

"Gang leader!"

Qin Ying was very anxious after hearing this, but Nan Batian did not give him a chance to interrupt. He looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, this matter does need to be discussed. We in the Fishermen's Gang are all brothers in distress, and the Eagle Hall also has hundreds of brothers to support. I should not care about what you do in your territory, but you have indeed affected the survival of the Eagle Hall."

"How about this, you give me a favor, and I don't care how you lend money in your territory in the future, but you need to screen the people who borrow money, and you are not allowed to lend money to people in the Eagle Hall's territory, how about that?"

Nan Batian looked at Chen Jie. Chen Jie had an embarrassment on his face, but he actually didn't care.

Loans are small amounts of money, so Chen Jie doesn't really care about this amount of money, especially for a small place like the Eagle Hall. However, even if he doesn't care, he still has to act like he is reluctant to part with it.

They will only feel happy if they cut their own flesh. Damn human nature.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie's face showed displeasure.

Qin Ying looked at Nan Batian. Nan Batian was not in a hurry. He gently tapped the table with his index finger, making a tapping sound.

After a while, Chen Jie said with a pained face: "Forget it, we still have to give face to the gang leader. Xiaohu, remember, go back and tell Zhou Chu that we will not lend money to Xiongyingtang in the future."

"Yes."

Xiaohu responded, and Nan Batian immediately laughed: "Hahaha, Jiusi is still very considerate. Qin Ying, thank Jiusi."

"I thank him?"

Nan Batian said: "Thank you."

"Thanks."

Qin Ying clasped his fists, but Chen Jie ignored him and drank a sip of tea. Chen Jie knew that Nan Batian would definitely not come to a meeting with him just for such a small matter, there must be something else going on.

Sure enough, Nan Batian spoke up and said, "Ahem... Okay, that's it for the Eagle Hall. I called you all here today because there is another important matter."

Nan Batian took out an account book from the table beside him and said, "Everyone, take a look."

After saying that, he threw it directly to Chen Jie. Chen Jie took it and looked at it. He saw that what was recorded on it was actually the iron ore business of the fishing gang.

Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian in confusion and said, "Boss, I don't want to do this iron ore business anymore."

Nan Batian said: "Let's talk after we finish reading it."

Chen Jie immediately looked through the account book and saw that the fishing gang's iron ore sales were actually decreasing month by month, especially in the past six months, the quantity had dropped sharply.

You know, salt and iron are the pillar industries of the fishing gang.

If any of these two industries has problems, the fishing gang will face financial problems.

The sales volume of iron ore is decreasing day by day, so we can't take it lightly.

Chen Jie read it once and then handed it to Tang Ziyue. Tang Ziyue flipped through it and said, "Boss, why is the iron ore business declining so drastically? I remember that our iron ore seemed to be refined into pig iron and then sold to the north to be used as weapons by the northern government troops to suppress bandits."

"The Red Turbans are causing so much trouble in the north right now, and it's the time to consume a lot of weapons. Why is the price of pig iron decreasing?"

Tang Ziyue flipped through the account book curiously, and took it to Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, take a look too."

Chen Jie looked at Tang Ziyue, there was something wrong with this boy, and then he said: "Yeah, this is unreasonable?"

Chen Jie knew a little about the Red Turban Army in the North. That was a large-scale uprising launched by followers of the Zoroastrianism, which swept across more than a dozen states in the North and involved more than 100,000 people. The daily consumption of weapons was enormous, so during the war in the North, ironware in the South was selling at a very fast rate.

Therefore, the iron ore in Mianshui County has been shipped like crazy recently.

Nan Batian said: "Well, it is true. The uprising in the north has swept through more than a dozen prefectures. The court sent the White Deer Army to suppress it. The pig iron in our Mianshui County is mainly purchased by Lord Tutu Wanhu. But recently I found that Lord Tutu Wanhu's purchases are getting less and less. If this continues, our iron ore business will be over!"

After hearing this, Tang Ziyue frowned and said, "That shouldn't be the case. The demand is not less, but the purchase volume is less. There must be something wrong here. Could it be that they have other sources of supply?"

After hearing this, Nan Batian said: "Yes, after my investigation, I found the problem!"

"what?"

After hearing this, Qin Ying looked at Nan Batian and asked. Nan Batian thought for a moment and said, "The problem lies with Old Weird Liu from the Cao Gang!"

"Old Monster Liu!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Nan Batian, who said, "After investigation, my people found that Tutu Wanhu's monthly purchase volume has not decreased, but now all purchases have been given to Old Monster Liu, so we can't get any orders!"

"this!"

Everyone paused after hearing this, and Nan Batian continued, "We can't go on like this. Our fishing gang can't lose this big order. And I heard from people that this old weirdo Liu did whatever it took to get the order. Not only did he give Tutuwanhu's purchasing envoy a large amount of money, he also gave the envoy two beautiful girls. The envoy was already bewitched and gave the order to old weirdo Liu!"

Qin Ying slammed the table and said, "No, we can't give all the benefits to Old Monster Liu. If the gang leader can't do it, we can also give him money and women."

Nan Batian said: "No, this method will not work if used again. Besides, if we add money, Old Monster Liu can also add money. If we continue like this, we won't make much money!"

After hearing this, Qin Ying asked, "Then, Gang Leader, what do you mean?"

Nan Batian said, "Either don't do it, or do it to the extreme. I got the information that they will have an ironware transaction at the ferry crossing of Xiantao Town at the beginning of the Yin hour tomorrow. My idea is to find a way to intercept this batch of goods and make Old Monster Liu lose his trust in Tutu Wanhu. Only in this way can we cut off the source of the trouble and completely cut off the iron ore business of the Cao Gang, so that we can obtain the right to trade the iron ore this time."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and thought that their gang leader was quite sinister, being able to do such a thing, he was really amazing.

Thinking of this, Nan Batian asked: "What do you think?"

After hearing this, Tang Ziyue said, "This is a brilliant move. As long as the Cao Gang breaks their promise, they will no longer be eligible to provide ironware to Tutu Wanhu. We will then be able to obtain the trading rights, and our wealth will increase greatly in the future."

Nan Batian heard this and said, "Mr. Tang is right."

Qin Ying said: "Hahaha, good, I've been displeased with those bastards from the Cao Gang for a long time, so I'll take this opportunity to teach them a lesson!"

Nan Batian looked at Liu Yishou who had been silent and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Liu?"

Liu Yishou coughed lightly and said, "Boss, if you are sick, I am good at treating you. As for this kind of fighting and killing, I don't understand it. You young people should make the decision."

Nan Batian looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, what do you think?"

Chen Jie was silent for a moment after hearing this. In fact, if one stands in the position of Nan Batian and others, there is really nothing wrong with this plan. Thinking of this, Chen Jie said: "The gang leader is indeed a genius. He can come up with such a brilliant plan. Awesome, awesome."

After hearing this, Nan Batian laughed and said, "Jiu Si, you are too kind. This world will belong to you young people sooner or later."

After that, Nan Batian looked at everyone and said, "But there is still a problem. Who should we send to intercept this batch of goods tomorrow morning?"

After hearing this, Nan Batian glanced at several people.

Qin Ying stood up and said, "I'll go!"

Nan Batian frowned, and Tang Ziyue beside him smiled and said, "Haha, Hall Master Qin is courageous, but Hall Master Qin is rash in his actions. Such a big thing requires a steady person."

After hearing this, Qin Ying glanced at Tang Ziyue.

What does this guy mean?
However, Qin Ying's recklessness was often just an act for Nan Batian to see; he was not really stupid. Tang Ziyue must have had a purpose for saying this at this time.

Thinking of this, Qin Ying said to Tang Ziyue: "What does Mr. Tang mean? A steady person, who is steady? Is Chen Jiusi steady?"

After hearing this, Tang Ziyue said, "Master Qin, that's not what I meant, but you are right. Master Chen is indeed a steady person. It's just that Master Chen has a good relationship with Old Weird Liu. Doing this is unfair to a friend!"

"Haha? He has a good relationship with Old Monster Liu. Let's make it clear. He is Chen Jiusi from the Fishing Gang, not Chen Jiusi from the Cao Gang. He is turning his elbow outward, right?"

Qin Ying looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, recently I've heard the gang members calling you the loyal and brave Chen Wuye. Is our Chen Wuye a traitor?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie's expression became very calm.

He seemed to smell a conspiracy, and this intuition became more and more sharp.

"Ahem, Hall Master Qin, don't talk nonsense. Jiusi is the Hall Master of the White Tiger Hall of our Fishermen's Gang. How can you be siding with outsiders? If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for holding you accountable."

Nan Batian said in a deep voice, and then looked at Chen Jie and said, "In fact, Jiu Si is indeed a very good candidate, but Jiu Si's relationship with Old Monster Liu makes me afraid that he won't be able to do it."

"In addition, this is what I think about this matter. We can send Qin Ying, but we need to send a mature and steady person to assist Qin Ying. In this way, Old Monster Liu and his men are trading at the ferry crossing of Xiantao Village, so let the fish pen of Xiantao Village be in charge, and Wu Zhong can help Qin Ying do this together."

Ah!
At this time, Chen Jie suddenly looked at Nan Batian. Nan Batian had a smile on his face, as if he knew that Chen Jie would have such a reaction.

Qin Ying was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Boss, I don't need Wu Zhong to help me. I will definitely do this beautifully for you."

"Nonsense! Qin Ying, I don't know who you are. Let me tell you, Wu Zhong is an old man in our fishing gang, especially his father-in-law, Bai Wenjing, who was once one of the eight doctors in the inner hall. Mr. Bai, you must respect him."

"Also, in this conflict with the Fishermen's Gang, you must ensure Wu Zhong's safety. Otherwise, you will be held accountable!"

Qin Ying was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly laughed as if he thought of something, "Oh, I understand, Gang Leader, don't worry, I will definitely ensure that Wu Zhong completes the task safely, and I won't let Mr. Bai die young. But Gang Leader, the sword has no eyes, if I get excited, or if there are masters in the Cao Gang, I won't be able to take care of it, and if Wu Zhong gets into trouble then."

"You can't blame me. At most, I'll send you two more wreaths, okay?"

After hearing this, Nan Batian frowned and said, "Hey, if something really happens, there's nothing we can do about it. By the way, Jiu Si, you and Doctor Bai are a master and apprentice. If something happens, please help persuade him and don't let him get upset."

Chen Jie remained expressionless after hearing this, but he knew in his heart that Nan Batian was using Wu Zhong to force him to take on this task.

If he didn't answer the call, he would let Qin Ying answer it and bring Uncle Zhong with him, which would be a good thing for Uncle Zhong.

Chen Jie thought, frowning, what on earth did Nan Batian want to do? Why did he force him to take on this mission?

He definitely has no good intentions, but this kind of thing cannot affect Uncle Zhong's family.

There was no other way. Uncle Zhong was also a member of the Fishing Gang, and he had to accept the orders from the gang leader. Otherwise, he would be considered disloyal, which was a serious crime.

Chen Jie thought for a moment and looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, I'm familiar with the ferry crossing at Xiantao Village. How about I go there?"

"Ah, Jiusi, it would be great if you could go. You wouldn't have to trouble Wu Zhong, and Doctor Bai wouldn't have to worry. It would be a great deed!"

Nan Batian had a smile on his face.

Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian and saw ill intentions in his smile. Then Chen Jie looked at Tang Ziyue who was standing beside him, and saw that Tang Ziyue was also smiling and nodding at him.

Chen Jie frowned, feeling that the two must be planning something.

Nan Batian said: "Okay, if that's the case, then it's settled. Let Jiu Si and Zi Yue do this together at the yin hour tomorrow morning."

Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian, who smiled and said, "Jiu Si, a hero needs three helpers. I also know that you are very capable, but Zi Yue is also capable. Let him help you complete this task, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Tang Ziyue clasped his fists towards Chen Jie and said, "Master Chen, you won't think I'm a burden, will you?"

Chen Jie looked at Tang Ziyue and said, "How dare I? Mr. Tang is the leader's number one think tank."

Tang Ziyue said: "You have only studied for a few years, how can you be called a think tank?"

The two looked at each other, and then Nan Batian smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, I will host a banquet tonight, and you can have a drink here."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, there's something important going on tonight, I'm afraid I need to prepare for it."

Nan Batian frowned slightly, and Qin Ying said, "Chen Jiusi, you knew something important was going to happen tonight, but you still wanted to leave. You are not going to find Old Monster Liu to tip him off, are you? This behavior of yours is a betrayal, and you will be killed!"

Chen Jie frowned and said, "I betrayed the gang, Qin Ying, do you have any evidence?"

"If you don't want to rebel, why would you go home? It's right here. Everyone has seen the evidence clearly. Who can suspect anything?"

Chen Jie frowned and looked at Nan Batian. Nan Batian smiled and said, "Tang Master Qin is right. Jiu Si, I'll have to inconvenience you, then?"

Chen Jie's brows were furrowed even more. At this time, Nan Batian said, "Don't worry, you won't be bored tonight. I heard that Jiu Si likes to play Go, and Mr. Tang is also a master of this game. You two may want to compete with each other."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Boss, we've been chatting for a long time. I'm hungry."

"Then eat first."

Nan Batian smiled and said, "Qin Ying, Mr. Liu, you stay with me."

Chen Jie said: "My brother outside the sect?"

"Good wine and delicious food are waiting for you, don't worry."

Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, then I'll spend the money."

Chen Jie knew that the other party had already trapped him, but he didn't think he would surrender so easily. The most important thing now was to figure out what the other party wanted to do.

Chen Jie was still guessing, but the banquet had already started.

The banquet was quite sumptuous, and Nan Batian was not stingy with it. Qin Ying accompanied him, and Liu Yishou watched from the side.

Chen Jie invited Xiaohu to sit down and eat. Opposite Qin Ying were Qin Hu and Qin Bao. They were eating at the same table, each with their own thoughts.

At this time in the study, Nan Batian said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Tang, the game has been set up. Now we just have to wait for Chen Jiusi to get in. This is all thanks to you, Mr. Tang!"

Tang Ziyue laughed and said, "Thank you for your praise, Gang Master. This is all due to your foresight. I am just adding icing on the cake."

Nan Batian laughed and said, "This Chen Jiusi would never know in his dreams that the one escorting this batch of goods today is Liu Song, the beloved son of Liu Laoguai. What he doesn't know is that we have planted an insider next to Liu Song. When Chen Jiusi arrives, with the help of the insider, the two sides will fight."

"When the time comes, haha, the insider will stab Liu Song from behind and kill Old Monster Liu's precious son. Then Old Monster Liu will surely go crazy."

"Chen Jiusi is the mastermind of this incident, and he is also the leader of the team. Old Monster Liu will never let him go. By then, hahahaha... Chen Jiusi will become Old Monster Liu's enemy who killed his son. With Old Monster Liu's character, he will definitely fight Chen Jiusi to the death. By then, both sides will suffer losses, and we can reap the benefits."

"Mr. Tang, I have to say that your plan is really clever!"

Tang Ziyue said: "Boss, you are too kind. If this plan can work, it is also thanks to you. The key to this plan is how to plant a traitor next to Liu Song. You must know that he is the son of Old Monster Liu. Everyone around him has been carefully selected by Old Monster Liu. If you can plant someone next to Liu Song, you must have someone in the Cao Gang."

Nan Batian laughed and said, "Haha, in this world, there are always people who are willing to sell out their brothers and benefactors for profit. It's not surprising."

Tang Ziyue agreed with him. Nan Batian said, "Okay, now the net has been spread, just waiting for Chen Jiusi to jump down! Mr. Tang, do you think Chen Jiusi can break the situation?"

"It's impossible. This plan is so meticulous that no one can see through it in such a short time, unless he has a way to obtain intelligence in advance! Otherwise, this plan has no solution!"

Tang Ziyue opened the fan and said confidently.
