Chapter 472
Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's thoughts were still stuck on why it was necessary to completely eliminate potential hidden dangers.
He was even conceiving a set of rhetoric to make Li Qi realize the seriousness of the situation.
He wanted to tell Li Qi that his friend from the Outer State was in a very bad situation, and if Li Qi wanted to save that friend, what price he would need to pay.
Xiao Xiao Zhenggong wanted to show a relatively friendly attitude in front of Li Qi through this set of rhetoric, so as to deal with tonight's banquet.
His thoughts extended downward along the slope Li Qi had built, until five bullets passed through his head, and his thoughts stopped.
This was Ling Ling Miaoying's pistol, and its power was extremely great.
After taking five shots, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's thoughts stopped almost completely.
He stood up quickly and ran away.
The physique of a high-level martial cultivator is very hard, but how could he outrun Li Qi?
Li Qi caught up with Xiao Xiao Zhenggong in two steps from behind, then his figure flickered and disappeared from Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's line of sight.
He used the "Walking Horse Watching Flowers" technique, but Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's body didn't explode.
The reason it didn't explode was very simple: Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's brain was severely damaged, and he couldn't realize Li Qi's existence; the prerequisite for "Walking Horse Watching Flowers" was not met.
The current Xiao Xiao Zhenggong had only one consciousness: he wanted to escape for his life, to escape to the safest place.
The safest place was the basement under the lake. As for whether going to the bottom of the lake would expose Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan, or expose his entire plan, he couldn't think about these things. Compared to his life, they weren't important to him.
"Walking Horse Watching Flowers" didn't work, but that didn't matter.
Li Li Banfeng appeared behind Xiao Xiao Zhenggong and stomped out.
Crushed stones and dust rose, and Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's back was bloody and mangled, but he was still running wildly.
Li Qi stomped again, and Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's spine was exposed.
When Li Qi stomped out the third foot, the back of Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's head cracked, his brains flowed out, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Li Li Banfeng touched Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's nose; he was still breathing.
Breathing is good!
Li Li Banfeng picked up Xiao Xiao Zhenggong, drilled behind the rockery, opened his personal residence, and threw Xiao Xiao Zhenggong into the room.
When dealing with Gu Gu Rusong, Sun Sun Tiecheng used the technique of "Iron Evidence Like a Mountain," completely destroying Gu Gu Rusong's soul.
At that time, Sun Sun Tiecheng had said that he was afraid Neizhou had a backup plan.
Xiao Xiao Zhenggong also had dealings with Neizhou, and the dealings were very close. If Xiao Xiao Zhenggong was already dead, Li Qi was really worried about leaving hidden dangers.
Once he entered the wife's belly, the potential hidden dangers would be completely eliminated.
"Wife, eat while it's hot!"
The phonograph saw Xiao Xiao Zhenggong, didn't ask much, and started eating directly.
Li Qi closed the door of his personal residence, put away the key, and lowered the brim of his hat.
Xiao Xiao Zhenggong wanted to destroy the Jiangxiang Gang himself, using the means of faking death and being reborn, to turn the Jiangxiang Gang into the Flying General Battalion, and to whitewash this notorious faction.
Li Qi deduced Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's intention, but was not very satisfied with the faking death part.
Don't fake death; how good it would be if you really died!
There's no need to wait for any Flying General Battalion; I'll fulfill you all tonight.
He He Yuxiu had already taken action. Li Qi was about to rush to support, when he suddenly heard the glove say: "Boss, there's good stuff!"
"What good stuff?"
"Good stuff worth a fortune. Boss, help me out, and I'll bring this good stuff back for you."
"Now is not the time." Li Qi was in a hurry to return to the battlefield.
"Boss, it'll only take a moment. It won't delay you much time. This seems to be something our old master likes the most. This thing has spirituality, and I'm afraid they'll run away on their own."
Rail tracks?
Eliminating Xiao Xiao Zhenggong, the remaining rotten garlic in the Jiangxiang Gang is indeed not difficult to deal with, and taking some time is not a big problem.
Li Qi circled to the front of the rockery, saw two guards standing in place, raised his sickle, and slit their throats directly.
The glove entered the cave, saw the stone cones on the wall, and said to Li Li Banfeng: "This is indeed good stuff, but it's not easy to take out. Boss, use the 'Broken Path' to clear the way and help me open a path."
Li Li Banfeng looked at the stone door next to the stone cones. The stone door was open, and it was pitch black inside, with stone stairs leading to the basement.
What kind of place is this underneath?
The basement has soundproofing techniques. Li Li Banfeng couldn't hear any sound even with the silk-pulling earrings, but he was still worried that there were people down there.
The glove also saw this stone door and lowered his voice: "Boss, use your strength evenly. Don't make any noise. Let's not scare this pair of good treasures, and let's not disturb the people inside."
Li Li Banfeng said: "You also think there are people inside?"
The glove listened for a moment and said: "I think there's no one inside. To be safe, I'll close this door first, and after we finish the main business, we'll deal with it."
Li Li Banfeng carefully used the technique to open a path next to the stone cones.
……
In the basement, He He Jiaqing was still maneuvering with Lu Lu Xiaolan.
"Lu Xiaolan, be obedient and give Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan to me."
"Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan?" Lu Lu Xiaolan gritted her teeth and said, "I am Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan. If you have the ability, come and take her!"
"You are Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan?" He He Jiaqing laughed out loud.
Lu Lu Xiaolan said calmly: "Why, you don't believe it? I went to Neizhou, and Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan's soul has been trapped in Neizhou. Her soul is parasitic in my body, and I have also gained some of her power. Now I am Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan."
He He Jiaqing sighed: "Is this the rhetoric Xiao Xiao Zhenggong prepared for you? He let you pretend to be Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan, help him wipe out the Jiangxiang Gang, and then turn the Jiangxiang Gang into the Flying General Battalion. When the time comes, he will be the leader, and you will be his famous general. Is this the order?"
Lu Lu Xiaolan was shocked; He He Jiaqing was right.
She was grasped by He He Jiaqing's soft rib again.
He He Jiaqing continued: "Lu Xiaolan, from the day I met you, you couldn't hide any thoughts from me. You approached me actively in college, and you wanted to plot against me on the train. The way you lie seems as naive as a child in my eyes."
"Give me the long spear in your hand first. That long spear is the real Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan. You know it better than anyone else."
Lu Lu Xiaolan took a step back and said: "No, don't come over!"
"Give me the long spear. I haven't forgotten our engagement. Since I had you, I haven't touched any other woman. After this matter passes, we will still be a proper husband and wife."
Lu Lu Xiaolan's hands were trembling, and her eye sockets were getting wet bit by bit.
She was moved!
Dabo Dabo Ensi in the secret room couldn't understand it. Could just a few lies trick Lu Lu Xiaolan like this?
He had never come into contact with the foolish cultivation technique, but he knew that the situation was very bad now.
He wanted to launch a sneak attack on He He Jiaqing, but heard He He Jiaqing shout: "Spider Detective, don't be impulsive. How much money, how much work. I understand your rules. You should also understand the situation here. How much money can buy your life?"
Dabo Dabo Ensi didn't listen to He He Jiaqing anymore.
He knew that his strength had a very large gap with He He Jiaqing's. If his thinking was guided by He He Jiaqing again, he might give up resistance.
In this situation, if he gave up resistance, according to Dabo Dabo Ensi's experience of crawling and climbing for many years, he would definitely die.
But what should he use to resist?
Hard fighting definitely had no chance; the combat power of the two sides was not on the same level.
Sneak attacks had no chance either; He He Jiaqing had already discovered him. The only chance left was Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan.
This long spear had always been hung with Dabo Dabo Ensi's spider silk.
Judging from the current situation, He He Jiaqing still had the mind to maneuver with Lu Lu Xiaolan, entirely out of fear of that long spear.
Dabo Dabo Ensi's body shook, and the long spear in Lu Lu Xiaolan's hand trembled, its power instantly soaring.
He He Jiaqing was shocked: "Lu Xiaolan, calm down."
Dabo Dabo Ensi's inference was correct. He He Jiaqing was not afraid of Lu Lu Xiaolan, but he was really afraid of Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan. Once Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan made a move, she could make his head fall to the ground at any time.
Under the power, Lu Lu Xiaolan seemed to have sobered up a lot. Holding the long spear, she pointed at He He Jiaqing and said: "You're afraid?"
He He Jiaqing pressed his palm down: "Lu Xiaolan, put her down first, and let's talk slowly."
"Put her down? You're dreaming!" Lu Lu Xiaolan retreated slowly.
He He Jiaqing followed step by step.
Lu Lu Xiaolan retreated back into the secret room, and Dabo Dabo Ensi manipulated the mechanism, and the secret room door closed.
Just such a door couldn't stop He He Jiaqing.
He groped around the door seam for a moment and soon found the location of the mechanism in the door seam.
He He Jiaqing pulled out a hair and stuffed it into the door seam. The hair swam in the door seam like a thin snake. Before long, the mechanism was broken, the stone door loosened, and He He Jiaqing pushed lightly, and the door opened.
The secret room was not big, and it was empty, with no one in sight.
Invisibility technique?
Not right.
People can be invisible, but the power of the long spear will not disappear.
Lu Lu Xiaolan and Dabo Dabo Ensi left this secret room.
The key question is where did they go?
This secret room has another exit. What kind of place will this exit lead to?
It should lead to the outside of the basement.
The matter is a bit tricky. We must find this exit as soon as possible and catch up with Lu Lu Xiaolan and Dabo Dabo Ensi.
He He Jiaqing scanned the room, and a rock on the ceiling attracted his attention.
The gaps around this rock were different from other rocks.
He He Jiaqing supported the rock with one hand and pressed upward lightly, controlling the force carefully, inch by inch.
After pressing down more than an inch, the mechanism was broken, but the exit didn't appear.
Wrong technique?
He He Jiaqing pulled out another hair. He felt very distressed; his hair had fallen out a lot during this period, and his hair volume was very limited.
The hair swam in the stone gap for a long time and returned to He He Jiaqing's palm.
The technique was no problem, and the mechanism was indeed broken.
But why didn't the exit appear?
After trying several times, He He Jiaqing discovered a serious problem: the mechanism on the ceiling seemed to have lost its hub and lost its connection with the exit.
How could the mechanism hub be gone?
He He Jiaqing realized that something big was wrong and hurriedly walked toward the entrance.
Following the stone stairs up, He He Jiaqing found the stone door tightly closed and hurriedly groped in the door seam, trying to break the mechanism.
The situation was the same as in the secret room; the mechanism was broken quickly, but the stone door wouldn't open.
Force your way in!
He He Jiaqing added force to his hand, wanting to forcibly destroy the stone door, but failed.
Turn into water!
He He Jiaqing turned into liquid, wanting to drill out from the door seam, but green smoke emerged from the door seam, burning the liquid directly into steam.
The steam gathered and turned into He He Jiaqing. He He Jiaqing was burnt all over, looking at the stone door in front of him in astonishment.
What a powerful technique!
Who built this basement?
Who closed this stone door?
Who took away the mechanism hub?
He He Jiaqing's head was buzzing; he realized that he might not be able to get out.
……
The glove held a pair of stone cones and said happily: "Boss, send this thing to the old master, and there will definitely be plenty of opportunities for flexibility in the future."
Li Qi smiled: "Keep the things well. Let's send the Jiangxiang Gang on their way first."
……
In the main building hall, He He Yuxiu captured Branch Master Yao Song Zhiyi alive, broke his hands and feet, locked him with iron chains, and threw him aside.
Several Jiangxiang Gang disciples wanted to come to rescue the branch master, but a swarm of flying insects spread from Lu Lu Yuanxin's body, and those Jiangxiang Gang disciples were gnawed into white bones in an instant.
Chu Er grabbed a Jiangxiang Gang disciple, pressed his head into the boiling hot pot, and took advantage of the heat to peel off the man's face.
Another Jiangxiang Gang disciple had just approached when his skull was lifted by Chu Er with chopsticks, and his brains were spilled all over the table.
Cui Cui Tike picked up a roast chicken, shook off the brains, and ate the chicken.
A Jiangxiang Gang disciple with decent cultivation wanted to sneak attack Chu Er from behind, but was kicked by Lu Lu Chunying and staggered.
Tan Tan Fucheng hurriedly supported the Jiangxiang Gang disciple, let him sit on the chair, and said: "Sit well and don't move."
That Jiangxiang Gang member really didn't move, watching helplessly as his throat was slit by Tan Tan Fucheng.
Jiangxiang Gang main headquarters, the combat power was originally not bad, but that was under the condition of being organized.
Now the Gang Leader is dead, the Branch Master is captured alive, and the rest are fighting and running, in a mess.
Someone vaguely saw a figure flash before their eyes, and in the blink of an eye, that person exploded into flesh and blood.
After killing dozens of people in a row, Li Li Banfeng contacted Luo Zhengnan and asked him to bring people over to clean up.
"Old Luo, we are all old friends in the faction; you won't forget the old feelings, right?"
"Brother Brother Qiye, I definitely won't forget the old feelings. I'm here to send them on their last journey."
……
Dabo Dabo Ensi squatted by the lake, sensing the situation around him through the spider silk.
He He Jiaqing's inference was correct. The basement had another exit. Dabo Dabo Ensi took Lu Lu Xiaolan and came out one step ahead before Li Qi took away the stone cones.
Lu Lu Xiaolan said: "Let's go quickly. The power of the long spear is not easy to control. They will be able to find us soon, and by then, we won't be able to leave even if we want to."
Dabo Dabo Ensi shook his head and said: "Wait a while longer. I'm looking for a very important thing."
"What exactly are you looking for?"
"A corpse, Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's corpse."
……
Luo Zhengnan soon brought people to the main headquarters, reminisced about the past with the old friends in the faction, and sent them on their way one by one.
"Brother Brother Qiye, where is Gang Leader Xiao? I still want to see him."
Li Qi shook his head: "Dead, not even a corpse left."
Luo Zhengnan sighed: "What a pity, I still have many things I want to ask him."
Li Qi smiled: "If I had known, I would have left him a breath for you to ask a few questions."
"Forget it, don't ask. I get angry whenever I talk to him. Let me say a few words to Yao Song Zhiyi."
Luo Zhengnan squatted in front of Yao Song Zhiyi and asked: "Old brother, do you remember me?"
Yao Song Zhiyi was shocked: "Luo Zhengnan, aren't you dead……"
Luo Zhengnan patted Yao Song Zhiyi's face: "It's come to this, and you still don't know how to say two nice words. Aren't you afraid I'll cut your tongue?"
Yao Song Zhiyi shook his head repeatedly: "Old Luo, your business has nothing to do with me. This was all ordered by the Gang Leader to Pei Pei Yikou."
"Then let's not talk about my business first. Let's talk about our faction's business. What exactly is this Flying General Battalion singing?"
Things having reached this point, Yao Song Zhiyi no longer hid it: "The Gang Leader said that the Jiangxiang Gang has no way out, so he planned to change the flag, and I don't know how he got in touch with Tieyang Mountain, asking their village leader Lu Lu Xiaolan to impersonate the Flying General Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan and set up the Flying General Battalion signboard."
Lu Lu Xiaolan?
She is the one impersonating the Flying General?
This person is really shameless; she even dares to use Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan's name.
Li Qi asked: "When the bandits of Qianzhu Mountain were wiped out before, was it done by Lu Lu Xiaolan?"
Yao Song Zhiyi really knew the inside story here: "It can't be considered wiping out; it can only be considered a fire fight. Tieyang Mountain and Qianzhu Mountain have always had conflicts. Lu Lu Xiaolan went up the mountain, killed the village leader of Qianzhu Mountain, and took in the bandit soldiers under him. She spread the news to the outside world, saying that the Flying General was eliminating violence and bringing peace."
"Gang Leader Xiao got a few pen-pushers to publicize this matter, and the Flying General Battalion's signboard was set up just like that."
Luo Zhengnan didn't quite believe it: "Old Yao, now that things have reached this point, don't lie to me."
Yao Song Zhiyi said: "Brother Luo, how would I dare to lie to you? Everything I just told you is true!"
Luo Zhengnan said: "I've heard of the name Qianzhu Mountain. They have some real skills. What kind of weight does Lu Lu Xiaolan have? You say she went up Qianzhu Mountain single-handedly and killed the village leader. How do you expect me to believe you?"
Yao Song Zhiyi shook his head repeatedly: "I didn't say she went up the mountain single-handedly. She brought quite a few people, mixed into the mountain, and made her move. And Gang Leader Xiao also gave her a treasure at that time."
"What treasure?"
"Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan, Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan who turned into a long spear. This is the real thing. As long as you take it in front of you, that momentum makes people unable to lift their heads."
Hearing about this long spear, the veins of Luo Zhengnan and Li Li Banfeng both jumped.
Luo Zhengnan was hateful!
He almost lost his life at Tiemenbao for this long spear, but he handed the long spear to Xiao Xiao Zhenggong. Xiao Xiao Zhenggong went back on his word, and the matter of the deputy gang leader was not fulfilled. Thinking of this, Luo Zhengnan still felt his teeth itching.
Li Li Banfeng was holding back laughter.
That long spear was made by the copper lotus. It's not called Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan; it's called Zhaohu.
Originally it was just to trick Luo Zhengnan, who knew it would trick so many people.
Luo Zhengnan said: "Such an important thing, how could Xiao Xiao Zhenggong hand it to Lu Lu Xiaolan?"
Yao Song Zhiyi said: "Lu Lu Xiaolan has real skills. She has a fake foreigner by her side who has dealings with Neizhou. This fake foreigner also found someone to make a corpse for the Gang Leader. It was made exactly like the real one, even the blood was the same. No one could see any flaws!"
A corpse made exactly like the real one?
Could it be the technique of body masonry?
The technique of body masonry couldn't make the blood exactly the same either. What other means are there here?
Li Li Banfeng was very interested in this.
Luo Zhengnan asked: "Where is Lu Lu Xiaolan now?"
Yao Song Zhiyi said: "Under the lake, there is a basement. Lu Lu Xiaolan and the fake foreigner are both down there. That basement has special techniques, a treasure the fake foreigner got from Neizhou. It can't be opened from the inside; it can only be entered from the outside. They must still be down there. I'll take you to see."
A basement under the lake?
Li Li Banfeng was stunned.
He saw the entrance to the basement in the cave. Could it be that Lu Lu Xiaolan and Dabo Dabo Ensi were living in the basement at that time?
Yao Song Zhiyi's legs were broken by He He Yuxiu and he couldn't walk. Luo Zhengnan got a small cart and pushed him over.
After entering the cave, the stone door was tightly closed, and the stone seams couldn't be seen from the outside. Luo Zhengnan frowned: "You said where is that basement?"
Yao Song Zhiyi panicked: "This, next to this big door, there is a pair of stone cones, this stone cone……"
Li Li Banfeng said angrily: "Where are the stone cones?"
"It, it's right here!" Yao Song Zhiyi didn't know how to explain. The stone cones that were originally embedded in the wall were gone.
Li Li Banfeng asked again: "Where is that corpse you mentioned? The one that is exactly like the real one!"
Yao Song Zhiyi said: "It's placed in the back building. I'll take you to see it."
Luo Zhengnan had people push the small cart to the back building, entered the building, arrived at the third room on the second floor, pushed open the door, and looked inside. There was a bed and a shroud, but the corpse was not seen.
Luo Zhengnan grabbed Yao Song Zhiyi: "Old Yao, it's fine if you lie to me, but our Brother Qiye is here, and you still dare to lie?"
Li Qi was very angry: "Yao Song Zhiyi, you are so bold. Old Luo, I'll leave this person to you to deal with."
Yao Song Zhiyi said: "Brother Luo, everything I said is true. You must believe me!"
"Believe you?" Luo Zhengnan had people take a chisel, "You always asked me before how the hole in my head came about."
"I'll tell you now how this hole came about, bit by bit."
……
After dealing with Yao Song Zhiyi, Luo Zhengnan sighed: "This kid has a hard bone; I couldn't ask anything."
Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "Forget it. The Jiangxiang Gang is already gone, and your grudge is considered avenged. This knot in your heart can be considered untied. Why bother with other things?"
Luo Zhengnan sighed: "I really don't care about other things. I'm really angry about Zhao Zhao Xiao Wan's matter."
"This long spear is a rare treasure. It was originally yours, but I bought it by pestering you. Now I want to take that long spear back and offer it to Brother Qiye again."
Li Li Banfeng waved his hand: "It's not an important thing either. There's no need to worry about this matter."
Li Li Banfeng was really not in a hurry. The glove secretly said: "Boss, why don't I install the pair of cones back, and let's go down and take a look."
"Go look for whom? What's there to look at?"
Is Lu Lu Xiaolan good-looking? Or is the Zhaohu long spear good-looking?
Li Li Banfeng was too lazy to look at either.
If Lu Lu Xiaolan is not down there, it's a wasted trip.
If Lu Lu Xiaolan is down there, then let her be down there.
If this basement really can't be opened from the inside, then she can stay inside. She didn't die after staying in the He family's old house for so long, so it wouldn't hurt to stay for a few more days.
Actually, this metaphor is not too reasonable. The situation in the basement is different from the He family's old house.
The He family's old house has wild cats that can come and go, but this basement can't even fit a bug.
He He Jiaqing was almost driven crazy. With his cultivation, he couldn't find a way to get out.
Did Lu Lu Xiaolan do this?
He He Jiaqing gritted his teeth and cursed: "Why are you so vicious?"
……
Lu Lu Xiaolan asked: "Why do you have to carry this corpse on your back?"
Dabo Dabo Ensi said: "Because this corpse is made with Xiao Xiao Zhenggong's blood."
"What use does his blood have?"
"Ordinary blood has no use, but this blood is very special. This is blood I collected from him a month ago. These bloods contain part of his soul and memory."
Lu Lu Xiaolan still didn't understand: "What use do you have for his soul and memory?"
Dabo Dabo Ensi looked at Lu Lu Xiaolan and said: "Because the real Xiao Xiao Zhenggong is likely already dead. The memory in this corpse relates to an important secret."
"What secret?"
Dabo Dabo Ensi looked at Lu Lu Xiaolan and said: "Xiao Xiao Zhenggong started cooperation with us, not only to lose a Jiangxiang Gang, but he also had to lose his important identity in the Outer State."
Lu Lu Xiaolan said: "I've heard of his identity. A deputy captain of the Dark Star Bureau, not a remarkable figure."
Dabo Dabo Ensi shook his head and said: "The position may not be high, but the identity is very important. There are many important secrets in the Dark Star Bureau. Xiao Xiao Zhenggong has already mastered the secrets he wanted, which is why he was willing to abandon the position of the Dark Star Bureau and return to Like Puluozhou."
"What exactly is the secret? Is it true or are you guessing?"
Dabo Dabo Ensi shook his head and said: "This is not called guessing; this is a reasonable inference. It's just a pity that his blood came from a month ago. Important information from the last month is afraid to be untraceable."
……
Cui Cui Tike drank a glass of red wine, wiped his mouth with a napkin, tidied up his white coat, stood up, and said to Li Li Banfeng: "I'm full."
Li Li Banfeng said: "If you're full, please go back."
Cui Cui Tike walked to the door and carried the big iron canister of disinfectant on his back.
The iron canister was very light. He He Jiaqing went out, but didn't come back.
Where did he go?
Was the matter accomplished?
Cui Cui Tike didn't care, and this matter wasn't really important to him either.
He was only responsible for bringing He He Jiaqing here, and his task had long been completed.
