414 Xiaohu said, and Ahedai said, "Okay, I'll keep it then."
Xiaohu nodded and said, "If you don't give him some money from time to time, why would Ahetai share the information with you? So he can politely say no, but you can't really not give it to you. Otherwise, he won't be so eager to give you the information next time."
These are what Chen Jie taught Xiaohu.
Xiao Hu returned to Chen Jie and said to him, "Brother Jiu Si, I have found out that the carriages and horses outside belong to the Thirteen Guardians. Today, Yelu invited all the Thirteen Guardians of Mianshui to come. I am afraid it is not a simple matter."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that Yelu attaches great importance to me."
Thinking of this, Chen Jie went straight to the central living room of Yelu Mansion and soon arrived at the living room.
At this time, the living room had been replaced with a very long solid wooden table, similar to the long table in the Liangshan Gathering Hall, and a group of people were already sitting at the table.
Chen Jie took a quick look and saw that they were all familiar faces.
The first one on the right: Old Weird Liu, the leader of Cao Gang!
The first position on the left hand: empty, used to be Nan Batian.
Then comes the second person on the left: Wu Hong, the chief constable of the yamen's fast squad!
Second person on the right: Han He, the pretty lady who owns Yihong Tower.
The third person on the left: the black market boss, the oil seller Hua Sanniang.
The third person on the right: Fisherman's white paper fan and scholar's white ink.
Fourth place on the left: empty.
The positions five on the left hand and four and five on the right hand are also empty.
When Chen Jie came here, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Chen Jie also looked at everyone and nodded slightly.
Old Monster Liu smiled and said, "Jiu Si, the left hand position is reserved for you."
Chen Jie said: "Brother Liu, that is the position of the leader of the fishing gang. I am not qualified to sit there now."
As he spoke, Chen Jie went straight to the left hand four position and sat down. Xiaohu then sat on Chen Jie's drooping hand and sat at the left hand five position!
Everyone sat down and looked at each other without saying anything.
But all their eyes were on Chen Jie, because they all knew that the protagonist today was Chen Jie!
At this time, many people sighed that Chen Jie was truly a gifted genius. It only took a short time for him to grow from a small unknown person to where he is today.
Everyone present had contact with Chen Jie.
Old Monster Liu, that is the friendship between him and Chen Jie that led to their fight against the Southern Tyrant.
Wu Hong is a fellow townsman of Chen Jie, and he was also Chen Jie's martial arts mentor.
Han He, a pretty beauty, that is the friendship of working together to transport military equipment.
Hua Sanniang is the woman of his good elder brother Ni Wenjun, his good sister-in-law, and Yun Jinniang's best friend.
It can be said that the remaining Hua Jin masters in Mianshui County are all people with whom he has a good relationship.
Chen Jie nodded slightly to them.
Everyone nodded slightly, waiting for Yelu's arrival.
While waiting, Chen Jie looked at everyone present and couldn't help but think of the Thirteen Guardians who were once prominent in Mianshui County.
The Thirteen Guardians had been dominating the Mian River for more than ten years and had maintained the balance of the Mian River for more than ten years. Now it seems that most of the old faces have faded away.
Thinking back to the days, the Thirteen Guardians of Mianshui were so glorious, but now they are all gone...
Chen Jie was slightly distracted, thinking back to when he first came to Mianshui, the Thirteen Guardians seemed to be pressing down on him like thirteen mountains.
The Tyrant of the South, Old Liu of the North, the invincible Thirteen Protectors, the beggar, the constable, the oil seller, the ghost hand, the scholar, and the pretty lady.
Blacksmith, fisherman, blind fortune teller, eagle, tiger and leopard!
At that time, these thirteen people were out of Chen Jie's reach, but in just one year, he had interacted with most of them and even defeated them.
Nan Batian escaped from the Mian River and his life or death is unknown.
The old beggar was killed by Nan Batian and Old Monster Liu because of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms!
The old constable, Zhang Liye, was promoted to the governor of Huangzhou Prefecture.
Ghost Hand Gu Qingfeng was killed by himself in the woods.
The blacksmith, the leader of the Zoroastrian Mianshui tribe, was called back to the north to join the uprising.
The fisherman, Peng Shizhong, his adoptive father, was killed by Feng Xuan and Nan Batian.
A blind fortune teller. If he met the blind fortune teller Yuan Sanjia, he would leave his hometown and make plans for the world. If he didn't, Chen Jie had never seen this blind fortune teller.
As for the eagle, tiger and leopard, they had already been killed by himself.
So, more than half of the Thirteen Guardians who were once prominent in Mianshui have died. It is really a thing of the past...
If you want to count the great men of Mianyang, the time has come.
Chen Jie thought about it and sat up straight. The old does not go, the new does not come. Although he felt sad that these masters who once roamed the Mian River had died or left for various reasons, they would leave their legends for a long time.
Chen Jie believed that even after several years, there would definitely be people who would spread the story that Mianshui County once had Thirteen Guardians...
But the same thing applies, let the past be the past, the future is Chen Jie's main battlefield.
Chen Jie remained silent and sighed. At this time, behind the screen, Yelu was observing everything on the scene with a slightly frown on his face.
Qimuge, who was standing by, looked at Yelu who was secretly observing and asked, "Master, what are you looking at?"
Yelu squinted his eyes and said, "The future of the Mian River."
Qimuge frowned slightly and asked, "Master, what did you see?"
Yelu said: "If the tail is too big to be removed, it will become a disaster!"
Qimuge asked, "Chen Jiusi?"
Yelu said: "That's right. In this battle, Old Monster Liu and Chen Jie have a close relationship, and Wu Hong and Chen Jie also have a deep friendship."
"Master, it is said that Chen Jiusi and Wu Hong have parted ways due to differences in their ideologies. How can they be said to have a close friendship?"
Qimuge looked puzzled, and Yelu said, "They said they parted ways and had different ideas. We didn't see them, but they were from the same town. Wu Hong's grandfather was Chen Jiusi's master. This is an indisputable fact. Therefore, this person should not be reused."
Qimuge was stunned and said, "Master, Wu Hong cannot be reused, and neither can Old Monster Liu. Do we have to rely on two women to check and balance Chen Jiusi?"
Yelu shook his head and said, "As a woman, Qiao Hongyan should have no intersection with Chen Jie. Besides, during the Yihonglou incident, the two of them had a lot of grievances. We can make use of their relationship."
Qimuge asked, "Where is Hua Sanniang?"
Yelu said: "He is very close to Chen Jiusi's wife, so he cannot be used."
Qimuge heard this and said, "So, the only one who can be used to check and balance Chen Jiusi is Qiao Hongyan. Your Excellency wants to support Qiao Hongyan?"
Yelu shook his head and said, "No, it may not be easy for this pretty girl to check and balance Chen Jiusi. To check and balance Chen Jiusi, we need to use Old Monster Liu."
Qimuge said: "But Old Monster Liu has a good relationship with Chen Jie."
Yelu said: "That's because they used to have a common enemy, Nan Batian. Now that Nan Batian, the common enemy, has disappeared, just give me some time, I can use benefits to turn them against each other!"
Qimuge said, "Master, it's high."
Yelu said: "But these are not the main points. The main point is that we need to borrow new forces to enter the arena."
"The three Qin Ying brothers?"
Qimugege proposed the three Qin Ying brothers, who could be used as bargaining chips to check and balance Chen Jiusi.
Yelu said: "Well, besides them, there is also him!"
After Yelu finished speaking, a man walked slowly into the hall, looked around, glanced at Chen Jie, and then sat down to his right.
Suddenly a person came and everyone was stunned.
Who is this?
Chen Jie also looked over and his eyes narrowed immediately because he recognized the person in front of him!
Iron Beggar Zhou Peng!
That's right, it was the Iron Beggar Zhou Peng. Once upon a time, the old beggar in the Beggars' Sect had two generals under his command, one was the Iron Beggar Zhou Peng, and the other was the Golden Sword Feng San.
Feng San, the Golden Knife, was stabbed to death by Chen Jie's spear, and Zhou Peng was arrested by the Yelu Mansion and tortured after the old beggar was captured!
I thought he had died under torture, but I didn't expect he could come out alive.
And judging from the way he walked like a dragon and a tiger just now, he is actually a master of Hua Jin.
Chen Jie squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Peng, and Zhou Peng also looked up at this time, looking at Chen Jie with hatred and said: "Chen Jiusi, how are you?"
Chen Jie squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Peng and said, "I remember you, Zhou Peng from the Beggars' Sect!"
"Hahahaha... I didn't expect that my humble name would be remembered by Hall Master Chen. What an honor!"
Chen Jie squinted his eyes and said nothing. Zhou Peng said, "Master Chen, I think we should have something to talk about!"
"How dare you! How dare you say such outrageous words? Get out of here!"
Old Monster Liu had a bad temper and was moody. When he saw Zhou Peng, who appeared out of nowhere, his face turned cold and he slammed the teacup on the table.
In that instant, the teacup attacked Zhou Peng directly with a powerful and overbearing flame energy.
Zhou Peng did not panic when he saw this. Instead, he slapped the teacup with his backhand and smashed it into pieces. With a snap, the fragments flew everywhere. The faces of the people around him changed drastically and they waved their hands to block the broken porcelain pieces flying towards them.
At the same time, they all looked at Zhou Peng, a master of Hua Jin, whose strength was not weaker than theirs. No wonder he dared to be so arrogant!
Everyone looked at Old Monster Liu, who lost face and immediately became furious: "Hua Jin, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant, but you have found the wrong person, I am not someone you can mess with, die!"
As he said that, Old Monster Liu flew directly onto the table and prepared to attack Zhou Peng.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came out: "Stop!"
Hearing this, everyone turned around and saw Yelu walking slowly towards them, glancing at everyone present.
Chen Jie took the lead and stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Lord Yelu."
"Greetings, Lord Yelu."
The others followed suit and saluted. Yelu waved his hand to show that he had accepted the courtesy from Chen Jie and the others. He turned around and looked at Old Monster Liu who had flown onto the table and said, "What is Gang Leader Liu doing? Are you trying to test whether the table in my Yelu Mansion is sturdy?"
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Liu blushed and jumped off the table. He then pointed at Zhou Peng and said, "Master Yelu, we are having a meeting of all the major forces in Mianshui and this guy came to cause trouble. I am here to clear him out for you."
After hearing this, Yelu looked at Zhou Peng and said with a smile: "Oh, Zhou Peng, I forgot to introduce him. He is the new leader of the Beggars' Sect. I came here today to meet his family."
