Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 248: Strike first to gain the upper hand

Outside Qinghe City, deep in a sparsely populated mountain valley, beneath a vigorous green pine tree.

"Mr. Rui."

"Mr. Yuan."

Zhuang Renhe looked at Qi Rui and Yuan Gao with a smile, a gloating look in his eyes.

He already knew that Qi Rui had more than a dozen men killed by Dao Mo and finally escaped in panic.

"County Magistrate Zhuang, we meet again."

Qi Rui glanced at Zhuang Renhe indifferently.

He didn't like the cunning magistrate of Yu State at all.

If Zhuang Renhe was not a member of the Ghost Sect, it might be normal for the two sides to meet each other in life and death.

"Why did you two call Zhuang here today?"

"Zhuang is very busy with work and can't stay for long."

Yuan Gao snorted coldly: "What?"

"Master Zhuang, have you been an official for so long that you have forgotten your identity?"

He glanced at Zhuang Renhe, and his meaning was very simple, that is, don't use your official power to bully him, he won't fall for it.

Zhuang Renhe remained calm and unperturbed: "I dare not forget."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Yuan Gao's expression looked better.

"I asked you two to come here this time because of Jiang Linxian. The ancestor has asked all the Nine Soul Dharma Kings to take action. We must take down Jiang Linxian. We need you two to help."

The Nine Soul Dharma King!

Hearing this name.

Zhuang Renhe and Qi Rui were both shocked.

Third-grade earth immortal!

They never expected that the Ghost Cult attached so much importance to Jiang Linxian that they actually sent out a powerful Dharma King-level warrior.

The Dharma King holds a very high status in the Ghost Sect.

The notorious Blood Shadow Ancestor is the Dharma King.

The Guiming Cult really went to great lengths to capture Jiang Linxian alive.

"Jiang Linxian"

Zhuang Renhe silently recited this name in his heart.

The Guiming Sect went to such great lengths to capture Jiang Linxian. Of course, they had only one goal, which was to find the banished immortal.

"Jiang Linxian is the banished immortal?"

"Doesn't that mean that the immortal energy is in Jiang Linxian's hands?"

His heart moved slightly.

Yuan Gao thought he knew nothing, but in fact he had seen through everything.

"Oh, by the way, there is also an official named Li Rui, who will be arrested as well when the time comes."

Yuan Gao added.

Qi Rui had a blank expression on his face. He had known this news a long time ago.

Even when he was about to capture Li Rui, he was surrounded by Dao Mo and his men, and in the end he ran out alone.

"I will cooperate when the time comes."

Although he didn't know why the Ghost Cult wanted to capture Jiang Linxian, since the Queen Mother had already agreed to this matter, he would of course fully cooperate.

"Thank you, Brother Rui."

Yuan Gao cupped his hands in satisfaction and looked at Zhuang Renhe again.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuan."

Zhuang Renhe agreed with his words, but his mind became more active.

'Li Rui.'

He certainly couldn't beat Jiang Linxian, but if he couldn't beat Jiang Linxian, could he not afford to offend a mere sixth-rank officer?
Knowing the inside story, he could see through the surface and into the deeper plans of the Ghost Cult.

Why go to such trouble when catching Jiang Linxian?
obviously.

There is also a problem with the An Ning Wei official named Li Rui. Maybe I can get some spiritual energy from Li Rui.

He was not interested in any exiled immortals at all.

Fairy air, what he wants is fairy air.

'It's better to strike first!'

Li Zhai.

In front of the stable.

"Look at her fair skin and tight calves, wow."

Li Rui, Wang Zhao and Yang Yong gathered around the horse pen and commented on what was going on inside.

Whoosh!

The Red Dragon Horse on the side made an unwilling sound, angrily expressing his dissatisfaction with being ignored.

"And me?"

"And I!"

Li Rui turned a deaf ear to this. Wang Zhao looked at Dahong with some guilt: "Dahong, I'm sorry, I want to sleep with Xiaohuang today."

I saw.

In the stable, next to the red dragon horse Dahong, there was a knee-high, smooth-haired, still somewhat immature little tiger.

"Master, do you think it will work if I hold you in my arms every day while you sleep?"

Wang Zhao's eyes lit up.

Judging from his attitude, he doesn't seem to be just talking.

Really sleeping.

Hearing Wang Zhao's words, Red Dragon Horse Dahong looked at Wang Zhao with resentment, like a young wife alone in an empty room.

Wang Zhao coughed dryly: "Dahong, don't worry, we will be able to sleep together in a few days."

Why does this sound more and more wrong?

Li Rui touched his chin and said, "I think it should be OK."

The reason why Wang Zhao could understand the Red Dragon Horse's speech was because they were in the same relationship day and night and were connected with its immortal aura. It didn't make sense that it would only work for the horse and not for others.

"Human beings, damn it"

The young tiger bared its teeth and looked ferociously at the group of hateful humans in front of it.

It was originally playing happily in the forest, then it was caught, put into an iron cage, and sent here.

Although it was not very intelligent, it had heard from the big black bear in the forest that these humans were monsters that ate demons, and that it would definitely not have a good ending if it fell into their hands.

Bullying a tiger is too much!

hatred!
I don't know.

Li Rui heard everything it said.

Li Rui's expression turned strange.

This little tiger has not yet shown its ferocious nature. Fortunately, the people who caught the monster gave it a special medicine. I'm afraid it will have no fighting power within a month, otherwise it may rush up and bite people at any time.

It seems that if his disciple wants to develop a relationship with Zhihu through sleeping with him, it will take more than a day or two.

This young tiger is a monster. Its scientific name is the three-eyed white tiger. It gets its name from a golden pattern on its forehead. It is a monster with a ferocious temperament.

It was specially sent by Dao Mo from the Wu Kingdom so that Li Rui could treat it as a pet.

This act of sending monsters is a very common etiquette among the high-ranking officials of the Witch Nation.

In other words, Li Rui helped Dao Mo a lot this time, which is why he was so generous.

Li Rui has no interest in playing with tigers.

So he simply gave the young tiger to his disciple.

Wang Zhao wanted to be a great horse master, but if he broadened his thinking, he would find that there are far more than just one kind of horse that can be ridden in the world.

Everything can be ridden!
If you think about it this way, the horse master is really powerful.

Li Rui decided to broaden his apprentice's knowledge.

"Xiao Zhao, I've always believed in you, keep going."

Patted Wang Zhao on the shoulder.

Wang Zhao nodded firmly: "Master, I won't let you down."

He now knows more and more about the witch country's technique of raising monsters.

He planned to develop Wang Zhao in the direction of raising monsters, so that he could use the monster's power to feed back to himself. In this way, he could make up for some of his disadvantages of poor physical constitution.

Everyone is a genius, they just need to find the right direction.

There is no need to focus on both internal and external skills at once.

Li Rui looked at the young tiger who was cursing in the stable and decided not to let the little tiger know that he could communicate with it. The West Heaven Gate was condensed by him, so of course he could control the switch at will.

Yang Yong was surprised:

"Old Li, can Xiaozhao really tame the monster?"

“This is a remarkable feat.”

In the past, these stories could only be heard from storytellers and were treated as legends.

"There shouldn't be any problem." Li Rui murmured.

The three of them chatted around Zhihu for a long time.

Li Rui then went back to the front yard with Yang Yong, leaving Wang Zhao alone to continue developing their relationship.

"Old Yang, how is the effect of taking the pill?"

Looking at Yang Yong’s rosy face, you can tell that the effect must be good.

Yang Yong felt distressed: "Old Li, please don't waste money on my old bones in the future. I have only one life left. When I die, I die. When the time comes, please give me a thicker coffin for our brotherhood."

"piss off."

Li Rui rolled his eyes: "You have to live a few more years for me."

"Tell me a number. Thirty years, no less. I'm still waiting for you to ask for a reward."

yesterday.

The elixir he had asked someone to buy from the capital finally arrived and was given to Yang Yong that day.

At first, Yang Yong was hesitant and refused.

Li Rui pinched the chin and stuffed it in, which made the old man Yang Yong feel painful for a long time.

He understands.

People like them who are used to being poor will spend lavishly when they become rich when they are young, but when they get old, they are reluctant to spend.

Yang Yong is probably in that state.

To put it simply, they are afraid of being poor.

I was afraid that one day I would be beaten back to my original form.

After watching the tiger, Li Rui strolled out to the Tiandi Alliance.

It's time for the monthly meeting again.

After a while.

He came to the gate of Tiandi League.

Although many people proposed to expand the Tiandi League, they were all rejected by Li Rui.

Just look at those big families.

The richer the family, the more low-key they are.

What is low-key luxury?
Therefore, there has not been much change in the Tiandi Alliance.

"Alliance leader!"

When the disciples of the Tiandi League guarding the gate saw Li Rui, they all saluted with a respectful attitude.

This respect is not pretended, but comes from the heart.

Without him.

Ever since Li Rui became the Grand Leader, the monthly wages of all disciples of the Tiandi Alliance have doubled, which is a real benefit.

Who wouldn’t like a leader who gives a salary increase?
Li Rui nodded casually and strode into the Juyi Hall.

at this time.

The hall is already full of people.

The leader and deputy leader of the alliance gathered in the hall.

Ning Zhongtian, Huang Chui and Fei Laosan all nodded slightly when they saw Li Rui appear.

Li Rui laughed and sat on the main seat:

"I haven't seen you guys for a long time, so I'm going to contact you today. Let Alliance Leader Huang tell you about the matter."

He is now the real leader.

His ranking is even slightly higher than Ning Zhongtian's. Of course, he can't always be the host. He just needs to say a few words at critical moments.

He doesn't have the bad habit of talking to someone for an hour.

Huang Chui coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, there are two things to do today."

"First, our Deputy Alliance Leader Ge has made a breakthrough a long time ago, and now he has even gathered his Qi into a line. It is not appropriate for him to continue to be the Deputy Alliance Leader. I propose that Brother Ge be made the fifth Alliance Leader. What do you think?"

It's about promotion.

Naturally, everyone in the lobby had different expressions.

Especially the deputy leaders.

When everyone was silent, Li Rui raised his hand first: "I agree."

Then, Ning Zhongtian also laughed: "I have no objection either."

Seeing that the two leaders of the Tiandi Alliance had no objection, the others naturally didn't dare to have any objections. They all raised their hands, fearing that they would be slow.

Since things are irreversible, it has left a bad impression in the minds of the two alliance leaders.

Huang Chui saw this and said: "In that case, then Brother Ge will be our fifth leader from now on."

"Congratulations, Brother Ge."

Ge Hong stood up and clasped his fists: "From now on, we are all brothers, let's eat meat and drink together!"

Li Rui's mouth corners slightly raised.

Ge Hong became the fifth leader of the alliance, and of course his support was indispensable behind the scenes.

The leader of the Tiandi Alliance is similar to a partner.

Apart from him, the other three are original shareholders, but as the Tiandi Alliance continues to develop, it must constantly absorb fresh blood.

Ge Hong is an old man.

He had a good relationship with him, so he wanted to use Ge Hong to open up the situation.

In order to recruit more talented people in the future.

"The second thing is that our alliance is going to open a branch in Anning Prefecture. This is a big deal. Alliance Leader Fei will personally preside over the branch. You all need your full support."

Hear this.

The eyes of several deputy leaders present lit up.

Although Qinghe now has a tendency to surpass Anning Prefecture, Anning Prefecture is still a prefecture capital after all.

Setting up a branch in the provincial capital naturally means that its status cannot be low.

There must be enough oil and water.

The key is that there will be many more deputy helmsmen, hall masters and deacons.

This is a great opportunity to place their own people and build up power, and it concerns the vital interests of these deputy leaders.

Ning Zhongtian said calmly: "Let me be frank. I don't care how you divide or grab, but if anyone dares to break the rules of the alliance, I will be the first one to kill him."

Hearing Ning Zhongtian’s words.

Several people had solemn expressions.

Now in the Tiandi Alliance, the two leaders Huang Chui and Fei Laosan have become the big thugs, Li Rui is in charge of the overall situation, and Ning Zhongtian is responsible for playing the bad guy and is in charge of punishment.

Several elders in the alliance have been beaten to death by Ning Zhongtian according to the rules.

Ning Zhongtian is the founder and one of the two most powerful people in the alliance. He is the most suitable person to do this.

This was also the result of his discussion with Li Rui.

Otherwise, if Li Rui were to do it, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the old people in the alliance.

If people are in chaos, no matter how much money you make, it will be useless.

After finishing the story, Li Rui spoke up: "Brothers, I have already agreed with Lord Dao of Wu State that as long as we get the approval of the Ministry of Revenue, we can do the monster business, and we will make a lot of money by then."

Bigger and stronger!

Li Rui's words can be regarded as a shot in the arm.

The monster business is also a big business.

Who can have trouble with money?

What Li Rui meant by this was very simple, that is, don't just focus on grabbing the small amount of money in front of you, as you will have a brighter future in the future.

He knew too well about the internal strife.

Internal strife will only occur when a force has stagnated. Only by expansion can everyone's attention be diverted.

Li Rui's move was not for the unity within the Tiandi Alliance.

But he really needs to make money.

After opening up the Qi Sea and entering the Guanhai Realm, the entire Tiandi Alliance may not be able to support him. Of course, he has to find ways to make more money in a safe way.

Otherwise, how can you buy the elixir?
How to buy spiritual soldiers?
As I said, among wealth, friends, Dharma and land, wealth comes first.

This day.

Li Rui returned home and had dinner with Wang Zhao and Yang Yong.

Just finished a week.

Prepare to crawl into bed and have a good sleep.

There was a knock on the door.

The door of the room was thin to begin with, and the people outside tried hard to push it, causing it to creak under the weight and shake continuously.

It almost collapsed.

Li Rui put on his clothes and then opened the door.

I saw Liu Tiezhu standing at the door with an excited look on his face:

"Master, the immortal weapon is about to be completed!"
