Lord of Puro

Chapter 527 They Are Still Waiting for Me

Luo Lijun was very angry and swayed her huge body back to the pool.

Feng Daikui said, "Mr. Li, I have never seen anyone dare to speak to people from Neizhou like this. Aren't you afraid of provoking a fierce battle?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and laughed, "A few words can lead to a war, so what's the difference between this war and a fight between hooligans?
This war cannot be fought. No matter whether it is the inner state or the outer state, they don't want to fight. But there is one thing I am curious about. Why don't the inner state want to have direct contact with the outer state?

Miss Feng, do you know the reason for this place? "

Feng Dai said bitterly, "I have thought about this before. As far as I know, the people of Inner Province always regard the people of Outer Province as enemies. They have strict clan rules and cannot interact with people of Outer Province at will. Even if they say a few more words, they may be killed."

Clan rules?

This was the first time Li Banfeng heard of this.

Li Banfeng stayed in the soda kiln for one night and took a look at the progress of the factory's construction.

The next day, when Li Banfeng was preparing to go to Lushui City, Feng Daiku brought news again that Luo Lijun appeared again.

Yesterday, he shouted to Li Banfeng that she and her people would never accept Li Banfeng's conditions, nor would they accept Li Banfeng's provocation.

But today, Luo Lijun changed her mind.

"I have discussed with my tribesmen, and we can agree to your conditions. We will start by guaranteeing the entrance to the soda kiln. We hope that this place will no longer be disturbed by any outsiders, including the customs envoys."

Li Banfeng asked: "Can you be more direct?"

Luo Lijun said: "The soda kiln can no longer have a defense hall."

Feng Daiku looked at Li Banfeng. This request was a bit too difficult. She thought Li Banfeng would refuse, but she didn't expect Li Banfeng to agree.

"I will take this condition to negotiate with other states and ask them to withdraw the Guanfang Hall. How will you deal with the condition I put forward?"

Luo Lijun trembled her tentacles and said, "We agree to add a new piece of land, a hundred miles of territory, and a pair of complete deeds."

Li Banfeng nodded immediately: "I will give you news as soon as possible."

After leaving the factory, Feng Daiku was quite worried about the current situation: "The foreign states will never withdraw the border guards of a territory. If they really withdraw, it will probably interrupt the traffic of the soda kiln. I'm afraid the conditions this time can't be negotiated."

"Whether the talks can be concluded depends on the attitude of the other states," Li Banfeng stood at the factory gate, lost in thought, "I really don't understand the attitude of the inner states right now."

Feng Dai said bitterly: "Should we test them again?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "It's time to test it, but I'll leave this matter to you. I have to go to another state. There are still some things waiting for me to do, and there are many people waiting for me."

Feng Daiku was stunned: "Who are you talking about?"

"A lot of people, a lot..." Li Banfeng looked into the distance and did not answer.

Looking at Li Banfeng's profile, Feng Daiku was a little dazed. Then he thought about how tyrannical and domineering he was in front of the people of Neizhou. There might not be another man like him in the world.

"Mr. Li, what kind of women do you like?" Feng Dai asked with a bitter face and slightly red cheeks.

"A woman who can sing." Li Banfeng answered very frankly.

Feng Dai smiled bitterly: "I can also sing some songs, Mr. Li, which one do you like to listen to?"

Li Banfeng thought for a moment and said, "Can smoke come out when you sing?"

Feng Daiku was stunned: "What's the smoke?"

Li Banfeng said seriously: "It's like a train, puffing out white smoke."

"This, it seems, cannot be..." Feng Daiku couldn't understand Li Banfeng's thoughts.

"Forget it then." Li Banfeng shook his head and turned away.

Feng Daiku returned to his residence, leaned against the porch pillar, and stared blankly.

She picked up a bronze mirror and looked at herself carefully.

Feng Daiku is one of the most beautiful women in Pro Province, and she is a romantic cultivator in the clouds.

What man in this world can control himself just by looking at her for a second?
But he asked me if it would smoke?
What's the point?
……

Mu Yuejuan and Feng Chongli rowed on the river for three whole days. Finally, a heavy rain came on the clear river surface.

The change in climate proved that the environment had changed and Mu Yuejuan had found a new picture.

There was a bamboo forest ahead. Feng Chongli rowed his boat to the shore. The moment he stepped onto the land, he even felt a little dizzy.

After exploring for a few days, Feng Chongli found some patterns: "These days, I have been thinking, if I go into one of your paintings and walk in a random direction, will I end up in another painting?

I might as well keep walking like this, and see if I can finish walking through all your paintings."

Mu Yuejuan sneered and said, "Don't ask me, try it yourself and see if you can make it out alive."

After passing through the bamboo forest, there was a pavilion in front. A skinny man walked out of the pavilion and looked at Mu Yuejuan excitedly.

"You're here..." The man walked up quickly.

Mu Yuejuan picked up a bamboo from the ground, and then came up to the man with a happy face.

"How long have you been waiting for me?" Mu Yuejuan gently stroked the man's thin cheek.

"I've been waiting for you for three whole days." The man's eyes were full of tears. "I just believed that I could wait for you."

"Why are you so stupid?" Mu Yuejuan wiped away the man's tears with heartache.

There was a bamboo building next to the pavilion. The man held Mu Yuejuan's hand and walked towards the bamboo building. Mu Yuejuan accidentally fell.

"Ouch~" Mu Yuejuan cried out softly, and the man quickly supported Mu Yuejuan.

"Let me see quickly, are you hurt?" The man leaned over and carried Mu Yuejuan into the bamboo building.

The girl was very light and it was not difficult for him to hold her.

But he didn't know that from the moment Mu Yuejuan fell, the girl he held in his arms had turned into a bamboo.

Mu Yuejuan and Feng Chongli continued on their way. Feng Chongli turned around and glanced at the bamboo building, then asked, "How long have you known this man?"

Mu Yuejuan thought for a moment and said, "About half a year."

Feng Chongli asked, "Has he always slept on this bamboo?"

Mu Yuejuan said: "That's not the case. I painted this bamboo. In my painting, there is no difference between the bamboo and me."

After walking out of the painting, the two came to a room.

It seems that the location is still in Green Water City, probably an old house in Yuanzhufang in the south of the city. There is not much furnishings in the house. There is a dining table next to the bed, with a plate of pickles and two moldy steamed buns on the table.

Feng Chongli sighed, "I saved money and spent a lot of money to buy an original painting of yours, just hoping to spend a good night with you. If he knew the truth, he would regret this deal."

"If he doesn't know, he won't regret it. I said, in the painting, bamboo and I are the same," Mu Yuejuan looked back at Feng Chongli and sneered, "A businessman like you will never understand the beauty of this affection."

……

In the Dark Star Bureau, Zhong Er held the data box, took a deep breath, and walked towards Director Shen's office.

Bulb grabbed Zhong Er from behind and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Chuunib shook his head and said, "I'm not crazy, some things must have a result!"

Bulb said: "You are so impulsive now, what result can you get from asking?"

"No matter what the result is, someone has to ask about this matter." Zhong Er threw away the light bulb and knocked on Director Shen's door.

"Come in," Shen Jingye looked up at Zhong Er and said with a smile, "Xiao Qin, do you need me for something? Sit down quickly."

"Yes, Director Shen, I'm here to ask about Director Li." Zhong Er sat opposite Shen Jingye.

"What do you want to ask?" Director Shen still had a smile on his face, as if he was looking at an ignorant child.

Chuuji was no stranger to similar smiles: "Chief, I just want to ask about Chief Li's condition."

"Regarding Director Li's condition, I have already emphasized at the meeting that we are investigating. Before we have clear investigation results..."

"Are we really investigating?" Zhong Er placed the information box in front of Shen Jingye. "I have been investigating the whereabouts of Director Li for some time. I have collected a lot of information about Mrs. Moth, including her combat capabilities, living environment, her appearance patterns and daily habits.
I want to hand over this information to help with the investigation, but no one in the bureau is willing to accept it. I really don’t know what’s going on. Have we investigated Director Li’s whereabouts?”

"I've stressed that we have been investigating!" Shen Jingye took the information box. "I have accepted the information. I recognize your contribution to the investigation."

Shen Jingye firmly believed that the sincerity he showed should be able to impress this stubborn subordinate. The young man should see hope and then return to his workstation to wait for news.

But Zhong Er's subsequent reaction was completely beyond Shen Jingye's expectations.

"You took the information, but you didn't even read it, right?"

"Of course I will read it..." Shen Jingye was trying to control his emotions. He was very angry because Zhong Er told the truth. He would indeed not read the information.

"The strange creature that appeared that night was not Mrs. Moth at all, right?" Zhong Er interrupted Shen Jingye.

"Do you have any basis for saying this?" Shen Jingye became even angrier because Zhong Er told the truth.

"Of course there is a basis for this," Zhong Er pointed at the data box and said, "According to the relevant information from Pro Province, the best fighting method of the moth lady is to hunt the enemy by spinning silk. I have investigated the scene many times and did not find even a single strand of silk. This is completely inconsistent with the combat habits of the moth lady!
Mrs. Moth is used to ambushing from high places. There are several unfinished buildings near Suichen Road. No traces of fighting were found near these buildings.

The moth lady is very large and has no habit of burrowing into the ground. The terrain around Suichen Road is empty. Where can such a huge creature hide after the battle?"

Shen Jingye frowned and said, "Who told you to conduct an investigation without authorization? Call your captain Chen!"

Zhong Er shook his head and said, "No need to look for Captain Chen. This is my personal behavior and I will bear the consequences personally.
Director Li received an order from the bureau to carry out a mission, and now he is missing during the mission, but we haven't even launched a real search and rescue operation. As a combatant, I should at least know what we are fighting for! "

"That's enough!" Shen Jingye could no longer bear it. "How do you know we haven't carried out any search and rescue operations? There are some things we can't let you know about because there are many secrets involved. You are questioning our overall work with limited thinking!"

Shen Jingye finally found his own rhythm. In the following period, he will go all out and concentrate his output, not giving Zhong Er any chance to speak.

But just as the topic got back on track, Shen Jingye's phone rang.

I looked at the caller ID and it was Director Du.

Shen Jingye answered the phone: "Director Du, our materials need further revision, please give us a little more time..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jingye softened his tone and said to Zhong Er, "You see, our superiors are very concerned about Director Li's safety. We have to make a special report on this."

Zhong Er's ears twitched, and he lowered his head and said, "The call just now actually had nothing to do with Director Li. I have very sharp ears, and I heard the voice in the receiver."

Shen Jingye took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his anger. This kid always spoke so directly.

I can't argue with him anymore. It doesn't matter whether I can convince him or not. The key is that arguing with an agent is really beneath my dignity.

"Xiao Qin, each of us has a different position, different responsibilities, and faces different pressures and difficulties. In the face of pressure, it is particularly important for us to correctly perform our duties.

As a young member of the security team, your duty is..."

Just as Shen Jingye regained his output rhythm, the phone rang again.

"You see, this is my responsibility, this is the pressure I face. In the face of difficulties and pressure, what choice should I make? This is what you need to think about!"

Shen Jingye picked up the phone: "Director Du, we will make some changes to the details and will be there soon..."

"It's me." The voice on the phone was not Director Du.

Shen Jingye shuddered.

"Xiao Shen, come to my office."

The other person hung up the phone.

Shen Jingye looked at Zhong Er with a pale face.

Zhong Er had sharp ears. He recognized the voice in the receiver: "Director Li is back?"

Shen Jingye nodded: "Yes, I'm back. He asked me to go to his office. Do you want to go with me?"

Zhong Er pondered for a moment and said, "Director, each of us has a different position, different responsibilities, and faces different pressures and difficulties.

This is your responsibility and pressure. I need to put myself in the right position and I will not go."

After saying that, Zhong Er stood up, bowed to Shen Jingye, and left the office.

Shen Jingye wiped the sweat off his face, he still remained calm.

This matter must be reported immediately. Li Qi may be in danger now and may threaten the safety of the entire Dark Star Bureau.

He opened the phone book and was about to pick up the landline when the phone rang again.

It’s still Li Qi.

Shen Jingye answered the phone.

"Xiao Shen, hurry up. If you don't come, I will go over there."

Shen Jingye shuddered again and stood up from his desk.

……

After entering Li Qi's office, Shen Jingye looked at Li Qi and confirmed it carefully twice.

Li Qi looked at Shen Jingye with a smile: "Xiao Shen, sit down."

"Yeah." Shen Jingye sat on the chair, put his legs together, and leaned forward. It was him, no doubt about it, Li Qi.

He is still alive.

I met Lu Huazi, and he was still alive.

Li Qi smiled and said, "Do you find it surprising?"

"Accident? No, how could this be an accident?" Shen Jingye tried to remain natural.

Li Qi was surprised and asked: "Isn't there any surprise at all?"

"What a surprise..."

"You think about it more carefully?"

"Surprise!" Shen Jingye quickly changed his words, "I'm very surprised, Director Li, you don't know how many days we have been looking for you, I really thought..."

"Do you really think I was eaten by Madam Moth?" Li Qi said with a smile, "Director Shen, have you ever seen Madam Moth?"

"I haven't seen it." Shen Jingye shook his head repeatedly.

"I've seen it," Li Banfeng leaned back in his chair, recalling the appearance of Mrs. Moth. "Mrs. Moth is a bug with a human face. It's round and pretty.

This time I saw Mrs. Suo Moth on Suichen Road. Her face was not round at all, nor was it pretty. She had a long face full of pustules and was dressed in rags. She looked more like a beggar than an insect.

Shen Jingye said: "It may be that the environment is different, causing the organisms to mutate."

Li Qi was very surprised: "It turned out that he has mutated so seriously? I will take you to see him again. You can take a closer look to see if he is Madam Moth."

Shen Jingye couldn't stand the pressure any more, and stopped playing Tai Chi with Li Banfeng: "Director Li, I haven't been to the scene, and I don't know much about the situation there. When I received the task from my superiors, they were talking about Mrs. Moth. I really don't know what the situation was at the scene..."

Li Qi looked at Shen Jingye and said, "Then let's find someone who knows the situation and have a good chat. How about Director Du you just mentioned?"

"It may not be appropriate to go to Director Du now. We need to communicate fully with each other first." Shen Jingye has already contacted Director Du, and Director Du's order to him is to stabilize Li Qi first.

Li Qi smiled and said, "We need to communicate first, and communicate well."

Shen Jingye's face was covered in sweat: "Let's talk about Mrs. Suo Mo first. That night..."

"Don't talk about Madam Moth!" Li Banfeng said with a gloomy face, "That's Green Water Beggar. If you don't know who Green Water Beggar is, I'll take you to meet him right now!"

"No need," Shen Jingye shook his head repeatedly, "I have read Green Water Beggar's information and heard a lot about him. Is he still in Yuezhou now?"

Li Banfeng shook his head: "He went back to Pro Province. I sent him back."

This is really true.

Shen Jingye was surprised and asked, "You went to Prozhou?"

"Yes," Li Banfeng nodded, "I went to the soda kiln by the way and took a look at the situation there."

Upon hearing about the soda kiln, Shen Jingye became even more nervous: "What's the situation over there?"

"Not so good," Li Banfeng said solemnly, "You sent people to turn the gatekeeper at the entrance of Neizhou into a skeleton. Facing such a serious provocation, Neizhou will probably not let it go."

Shen Jingye glared and said, "We didn't do this!"

"How do you know it wasn't you who did it?" Li Qi frowned and asked, "When I asked you before, didn't you know nothing?"

Shen Jingye quickly explained: "These days, I have learned more about the situation, and there is indeed a misunderstanding in this matter."

"More than 50 people under the command of Special Envoy Xu Shouming were turned into skeletons by the Neizhou people. Is this also considered a misunderstanding?"

"This..." Shen Jingye thought about the wording, "This should be the result of a misunderstanding."

Li Qi shook his head and said, "Neizhou doesn't think so. They are ready to go to war."

Shen Jingye was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Qi and said, "We don't want to see war, we need peace. The original intention of setting up the balancer is to resolve the misunderstanding between the two sides."

Li Banfeng nodded: "I went to resolve it. I don't want to see a war either. These days, I have spent a lot of time and effort trying to resolve the misunderstanding between you. Neizhou also agreed not to escalate the situation, but at the same time, they also put forward their conditions."

"What conditions?" Shen Jingye couldn't have imagined that the soda kiln incident could make such great progress.

Li Qi said: "Neizhou attaches great importance to the entrance of the soda kiln. In order to ensure the safety of this entrance, Neizhou requires the removal of the customs office of the soda kiln, and the traffic to the soda kiln cannot be interrupted."

"Remove?" Shen Jingye shook his head. "That's impossible!"

"This is impossible? You said that?" Li Qi stood up and said, "Okay, it's settled. I'll go to the soda kiln and explain everything to them. Director Shen has made it clear that we should fight when we have to. It is absolutely impossible to remove the Customs Office."

"Wait a minute!" Shen Jingye immediately stopped Li Qi, "Director Li, what I mean is that I can't make the decision on this matter."

Li Qi smiled and said, "That's right. You definitely can't make the decision on this matter, so we need to discuss it with Director Du. Not only this matter, but also the Green Water Beggar's matter."

"What else does Green Water Beggar want?" Shen Jingye became even more nervous. "Hasn't he already returned to Pro Province?"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "He went back, but he didn't say he wouldn't come again."

"Why would he come again?" Shen Jingye looked at Li Qi in confusion.

Li Qi looked at Shen Jingye seriously and said, "Do you think that by selling me out, this matter will be over?"

Shen Jingye lowered his head and said, "I don't know about this matter..."

Li Qi said: "Then let you know now. Green Water Beggar gave us five days to help him raise a group of people. If this group of people cannot be raised, he will come to Yuezhou again."

"What kind of manpower?"

"The people from Santoucha," Li Banfeng said, "some people from Santoucha have very high fighting ability, and Green Water Beggar wants to recruit some of them for his own use."

Shen Jingye asked, "Are you talking about the three-headed man?"

Li Banfeng nodded.

Shen Jingye asked, "How much do they want?"

"Five thousand."

"Five thousand people?" Shen Jingye shook his head repeatedly, "That's absolutely not possible."

"You said it! You said it's not possible! Then this is easy!" Li Banfeng was about to stand up again, and Shen Jingye hurried forward to stop him.

"Director Li, this matter is not for me to decide!"

"So, we have to find someone who can make the decision."

Shen Jingye nodded and said, "Director Li, how about this? Let's first prepare a written document with the specific situation, submit it, and then..."

Click~
Both of their cell phones rang, and they received the same message: something happened at Zhengqiao Square, and the Dark Star Bureau must take immediate action.

Shen Jingye put away his phone and said, "I'll just arrange for the security team to handle this matter. Let's take care of the important things first."

"No, nothing can be more important than the case. I have to go!" Li Qi put on his coat.

Shen Jingye said, "Director Li, don't go for this matter. We have more important things to discuss right now."

"Just come with me, and we'll discuss while we walk!" Li Banfeng pulled Shen Jingye out of the office.

Shen Jingye asked anxiously, "What are you doing? You are in such a mess, why are you still handling the case?"

Li Qi frowned and said, "What are you talking about? We said at the beginning that if there is a case, we have to go to the scene. Whoever doesn't go is a grandson!"

Shen Jingye really didn't want to go, but Li Banfeng's level of cultivation held him back, so he had no choice but to go.

The two went directly to the security team. The moment they saw Li Qi, Dengbao opened his mouth wide and Tangyuan's eyes turned red.

Chuuniburi tried to hold back his laughter, but couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

Mi Jian murmured, "Director Li is back."

Someone whispered, "Is this Director Li?"

"Yes, that's him. He always rushes to the front in every tough battle."

"A few days ago, he challenged Madam Suo Moth alone. Everyone thought Director Li was in danger, but now he's back!"

Seeing everyone's excited eyes, Li Banfeng said to Shen Jingye: "Xiao Shen, look how happy everyone is that you're here."

Shen Jingye laughed dryly twice. He really didn't want to go, but he couldn't open his mouth now.

When they got on the minibus, Li Banfeng said, "Let me first introduce the situation on the scene to Director Shen."

Tang Yuan was well prepared. This time, it was not a monster that appeared, but a fugitive suspect. The suspect was found in a restaurant in Zhengqiao Square. After the restaurant operator reported the case, law enforcement officers immediately rushed to the scene.

The suspect used a homemade bomb to hold customers and staff in the restaurant hostage. Law enforcement officers failed to negotiate with him several times and the situation was very dangerous.

Shen Jingye frowned and asked, "Should we be responsible for this?"

Tang Yuan quickly reported: "After investigation and verification by the on-site personnel, the suspect is a fighter of medium level."

The middle level is the rough definition of the levels of dark energy users given by the Dark Star Bureau. Dark energy users at levels one to three are called low level, those at levels four and five are called middle level, and those at levels six and seven are called high level dark energy users.

In the Dark Star Bureau's database, the highest level of dark energy users is level seven, which is also the general consensus of other states on dark energy users.

The opponent is a fighter above level three, which means it is difficult for ordinary law enforcement officers to subdue him. At this time, the Dark Star Bureau must be dispatched.

After understanding the case, Shen Jingye made arrangements: "This case happened in the central area, everyone should pay special attention to safety and confidentiality..."

The formulation of specific tactics was all handed over to Chen Changrui. Now Shen Jingye's mind was all focused on the people of Inner State and the Green Water Beggar.

Chen Changrui formulated a careful plan, letting a group of veteran team members such as Candied Fruit, Begonia Fruit, Awl, Brick, and Clams as the main force to forcibly control the suspect.

But when they arrived at the scene, Chen Changrui's tactics were not used.

One reason is that they underestimated the suspect's ability. According to the latest investigation results, the suspect's homemade bomb had an automatic detonation device and a remote control detonation device, which means that even if the suspect is controlled, the bomb may still explode at any time.

Second, the suspect had already decided to fight to the death. He only gave everyone ten seconds before he would detonate the bomb.

"Everyone, step back! If you don't want to die, stay away!" The suspect hid behind the bar, avoiding all sniper points. He held up the loud speaker used by the restaurant to attract customers and shouted, "Ten seconds, just ten seconds. I'm counting down now!"

Doesn't this suspect want to live anymore?
That's not it.

He was well aware of the power and impact of the bomb explosion, and he wanted to take advantage of the chaos before and after the bomb exploded to create an opportunity for himself to escape.

"Ten! Nine!" the suspect began counting down.

Shen Jingye looked solemn, but did not give any orders.

When we first arrived at the scene, the situation had already become like this. At this point, not taking any action and not expanding the scope of casualties is the best option to avoid expanding responsibility.

"Eight!"

"Xiao Shen, let's go!"

"Where are we going?" Shen Jingye turned around, and before he could figure out what Li Qi meant, Li Qi pulled him and rushed directly into the hotel.

In front of Li Qi is the suspect, and in front of Shen Jingye is the bomb.

The suspect counted down: "Seven!"

Li Qi nodded: "It's me, hello!"

The suspect was stunned and tried to press the remote control in his hand.

Li Banfeng took the remote control away.

The suspect was startled again and pulled out a pistol.

Li Banfeng also took the pistol away.

The suspect picked up a pen on the bar. In the hands of a martial artist, everything can become a weapon.

Li Banfeng fired a shot and the suspect fell on his back.

The timer was still counting down, with less than three seconds left.

Li Qi looked at Shen Jingye silently.

Li Qi was not in a hurry, he had many ways to deal with this bomb.
