　　"But no matter how weak it is, it is still much more powerful than small gangs like us."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie sighed, thinking that the world is indeed very big, but he is still very weak.

　　Chen Jie asked: "Then what should we do with Nanhu?"

　　After hearing this, Feng Xuan said, "That's the concern of the big shots. What does it have to do with us? Besides, Sixth Brother, we don't have to worry so much. The Beggars' Sect is not as strong as we imagined. Besides, we have the support of the imperial court, so the Beggars' Sect dare not really do anything to us."

　　"If they dare to send experts, we also have experts to support us, so this Nanhu should be a matter of wrangling."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "I see."

　　At the other table, Nan Batian said, "This is what I think about this matter. You and I should not show up. Let the hall masters go and contact him first and see what the old beggar thinks."

　　After hearing this, Old Monster Liu said, "Send the hall master? That's fine. In that case, I will send Qing Feng to handle this matter."

　　"Dad, I want to go too."

　　At this time, Liu Song spoke, and Old Monster Liu frowned. Nan Batian on the side said, "Haha, good, nephew Liu is indeed a young hero."

　　As he spoke, Nan Batian said, "Brother, since Gang Leader Liu asked Gu Qingfeng and Hall Master Gu to handle this matter, then we will leave this side of the Yu Gang to you. You have dealt with Hall Master Gu many times, so you will be better at cooperating with him."

　　After hearing this, Peng Shizhong frowned slightly. The Beggars' Sect is not someone that is easy to provoke.

　　But since the gang leader said so, he couldn't refuse, so he said, "Yes, I'll do my best!"

　　Nan Batian smiled and said, "Okay, very good, this matter is settled. Brother, if you take action, it will definitely be a success. Master Gu is the pillar of the Cao Gang. If you two work together, this Nanhu Lake will definitely be ours."

　　"Boss Liu, please."

　　Nan Batian raised his glass, and Old Monster Liu laughed and said, "Of course."

　　Peng Shizhong frowned, but didn't say much, but Nan Batian said: "Brother, if this is successful, it won't be in vain for the White Tiger Hall to work hard. I will give the White Tiger Hall 30% of the salt produced by Nanhu every year."

　　After hearing this, everyone in the White Tiger Hall's eyes lit up. Great!

　　Thirty percent of Nanhu's output, that's a huge sum of money.

　　Thinking of this, everyone looked at Peng Shizhong expectantly.

　　Peng Shizhong nodded slightly and agreed.

　　After drinking this much, the two bosses no longer had any extra thoughts, so they stood up and left.

　　After a lot of noise, the party ended in the afternoon.

　　At this time, Peng Shizhong called everyone to the meeting hall and said, "You should have heard about what happened in Nanhu, so we should be prepared for the possibility of conflict with the Beggars' Sect."

　　"In recent years, the Beggars' Sect has been in close contact with several other gangs and has always wanted to become the third largest gang in Mianshui."

　　"Unfortunately, the Mian River can only accommodate two major gangs and will never allow the emergence of a third gang. Therefore, this battle at Nanhu Lake may seem like a fight for a salt field, but in fact it is a test of the two major gangs by the Beggars' Gang. The leader has handed this matter over to our White Tiger Hall."

　　"They want our White Tiger Hall to withstand the Beggars' Sect's temptation first, so I'm afraid a fight is unavoidable this time!"

　　"So, you have to be prepared."

　　After hearing this, everyone clasped their fists together, and then Peng Shizhong said, "Then I will announce that Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, and Lu Rong, the three of you will lead the elite disciples in the gang and try to go to the vicinity of Nanhu Lake. If you encounter disciples of the Beggar Gang, there is no need to retreat. Try their skills first."

　　"Yes, my godfather."

　　After hearing this, the three of them clasped their fists together.

　　Then Peng Shizhong said, "As for Lao Si, you take Lao Wu and Lao Liu and be responsible for patrolling and protecting our four streets. If the Beggars' Sect clashes with us, they will definitely cause trouble in our territory. At that time, you must withstand the pressure and reduce the losses of the merchants as much as possible. Don't make any mistakes."

　　"yes!"

　　After hearing this, Deng Guangming, Chen Jie and Zhou Chu all clasped their fists.

　　Peng Shizhong said: "At this time, with a powerful enemy at hand, everyone must be careful and cautious, and don't make any mistakes. Safety is the most important thing."

　　"Yes, godfather!"

　　After hearing this, everyone clasped their fists.

　　Peng Shizhong waved his hand and said, "Okay, in that case, you guys can leave first, and the eldest and second will stay."

　　"yes."

　　Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan replied.

　　They were Peng Shizhong's confidants, so when there was an important matter, the first thing he would do was to discuss it with them.

　　Chen Jie and others retreated, and Lu Rong had to worry about the elite disciples who were both capable of fighting and killing.

　　Deng Guangming said, "Let's go and find some suitable men for you."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie and Zhou Chu were stunned, and then they were taken to a venue in Baihu Hall.

　　Deng Guangming sent someone to go there, and when he came back, he brought more than fifty young men who were only seventeen or eighteen years old. These were the reserve team of the White Tiger Hall.

　　Specially dedicated to training future outstanding gang members.

　　According to the rules of the White Tiger Hall, a new adopted son can select ten of these people to be trained as his confidants.

　　In the future, as their status improves, these people will be able to lead more younger brothers, and each of these young people will have the cultivation level of the Skin Moxing Realm.

　　At this time, Deng Guangming said, "Everyone, this is the Fifth Master and the Sixth Master. You all should cheer up and perform well. If you are chosen by the Fifth Master and the Sixth Master, you will be very successful in the future!"

　　After hearing this, everyone nodded and puffed out their chests.

　　Seeing this, Deng Guangming said, "Old Five, Old Six, choose."

　　Chen Jie looked at Deng Guangming and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, these people are not the people of the eldest brother or the second brother, right?"

　　Deng Guangming's eyes lit up when he heard this and he smiled, "Don't worry, there are no people from Big Brother or Second Brother here, only people from my foster father."

　　"Okay, brother, feel free to choose. My foster father won't allow anyone to get involved with these people. You can train them with confidence."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Thank you, Fourth Brother, for clearing up my confusion."

　　On the other side, Zhou Chu had already made his choice. He walked up to touch the person's shoulder and patted his back to confirm his strength.

　　Seeing this, Chen Jie also stepped forward to make a selection. It's nonsense to say that all the seedlings cultivated by Peng Shizhong are good.

　　Each of them selected ten people, and these ten people would become Chen Jie and Zhou Chu's subordinates in the future.

　　As for wanting more subordinates, it depends on your own abilities.

　　And these ten people are their start-up capital.

　　After selecting the people, Deng Guangming said, "Okay, tomorrow you can take them to patrol the streets and prevent any trouble."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie and the others said, "Okay."

　　After finishing all this, Deng Guangming said, "Disband."

　　At this time, Chen Jie said to the ten people he had chosen: "Everyone, from now on we are brothers who eat from the same ladle. As long as you are sincere to me, Chen Jiusi, from now on, if I eat a bite, you brothers will eat half. Come on, today, I will take you to a restaurant!"

　　Chen Jie knew that these days without fodder, he couldn't even fool the birds, so he decided to distribute benefits to his younger brothers first.

　　Zhou Chu, who was standing by, came over and said with a smile, "Old Chen."

　　"What?"

　　"Hey, you don't mind if I bring my brothers to your place for a meal?"

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at him and said, "Can't you treat yourself?"

　　After hearing this, Zhou Chu said with a bitter face: "I don't have any money in my pocket. You know me. Your sister-in-law took away all the money I had in my pocket yesterday, even the money I hid under my boots!"

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "How tragic!"

　　Zhou Chu smiled bitterly and said, "It's so miserable. Please help me, brother. You don't want me to embarrass myself in front of you on the first day, do you?"

　　Chen Jie said: "Okay, since the famous hero [Black Eyed Bear] has spoken, treating me to a meal is nothing, but now that I have money, you have to pay it back!"

　　"Hey, don't worry, my father-in-law's escort agency is so big, I can't ask you for a meal, and don't talk nonsense about the [Black-eyed Bear]."

　　Chen Jie said: "How many people would love to have the leader give a call!"

　　"You like it, you like the nickname given to you by this black-eyed bear!"

　　"No, we can't afford it."

　　Chen Jie waved his hand and said at the same time: "My eyes are very useful, and I don't need them. Your domineering nickname is not it."

　　"You, forget it, I won't argue with you."

　　After saying that, Chen Jie said, "Okay, let's go, brothers, let's go eat."

　　Soon they came to Yang's Restaurant next to the big vegetable market. It was a very common restaurant and very affordable.

　　While eating, I heard a voice coming from the street: "Chase, don't run!"

　　As he spoke, a group of constables in yamen uniforms were seen chasing after the two young men. The two young men panicked and one ran eastward, while the other actually ran into a restaurant.

　　Chen Jie and his friends were drinking.

　　A group of detectives chased after him. The leader was very fast and reached the store door in the blink of an eye. Chen Jie didn't want to get involved in this, but suddenly he saw a man running towards him at an incredibly fast speed. When he looked again, Chen Jie was stunned and laughed: "Haha, Brother Hong!"

　　The constable who was chasing him was also surprised. He saw Chen Jie and said, "Nine-four!"

　　Immediately afterwards, a smile appeared on his face. Who did you think it was? It turned out to be Wu Hong, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

　　At this time, the young man rushed over directly, and Chen Jie blocked his way. The young man stabbed Chen Jie with a knife. Chen Jie dodged the knife and then smashed the young man to the ground with a bang.

　　Immediately afterwards, Chen Jie stepped on the man's wrist and removed the knife from his hand.

　　Then he stepped on the man's back!

　　Step hard.

　　The young man struggled desperately after his back was stepped on. At this time, a wise younger brother beside him went up and held the young man down.

　　At this time Wu Hong had already walked in.

　　Seeing Chen Jie, he smiled and said, "Jiu Si, I don't even know when you came to Mianshui County."

　　After the competition, Wu Hong and Zhang Liye returned to the county town, and then they were busy with the cases in hand. He didn't know that Chen Jie also followed them to the county town later.

　　Chen Jie said: "I have been here for a few days."

　　After hearing this, Wu Hong said, "Haha, you didn't even tell me you were here so I could host you. By the way, where do you live now? I have a house in the city, how about you move in with me first?"

　　Chen Jie heard this and said, "It's okay. I live in the big vegetable market, on the other side of the street."

　　"Well, Jiu Si, the house over there is not cheap, right? Did you rent it from a dental shop?"
