February 15th is the day when the new issue of "On the Martial God Machine" is released.

Just when Lunwu Towers were going on sale in various places, a new copy of "Lunwu Shenji" and "Lunwu Shenji*Dongzhou Chronicle" were delivered to the study room of Shen's mansion, in the hands of the county lieutenant Shen Zhou.

"No. 29 on the Qingyun List?"

Shen Zhou squinted his eyes and thought that this ranking was just right.

Chu Xisheng's current eighth-level cultivation, the sword skills, sword intent and bloodline talent he displayed were all very terrifying.

In the past two months, this son has made a lot of troubles in the Xiushui area. Previously, he joined forces with Tieniu Jia to defeat the entire Xishan County army, which shocked Dongzhou.

In fact, this guy's ranking could be higher.

Shen Zhou believed that Chu Xisheng's strength was not too great even if he entered the overall rankings.

The conditions for entering the Qingyun Ranking are those under 18 years old, regardless of grade.

The rule is to first look at age and years of practice - this determines a person's talent for practice, followed by talent, combat power, record, cultivation level, etc.

Therefore, there are many eighth-grades ranked in the top ten on the Qingyun Ranking of each state.

Si Huangquan, who was once defeated by Chu Xisheng, has ranked 20th on the Luozhou Qingyun Ranking this time, and has also reached the bottom of the Qingyun Ranking.

However, most of them are less than fourteen years old. They are the so-called "super geniuses", and they all hope to enter the local rankings within twenty years.

Chu Xisheng was still at a disadvantage because he was a little older, and all his achievements occurred in local areas. He was not recognized by the Lunwu General Building, and his reputation did not go beyond the state or county.

The county lieutenant Shen Zhou then flipped through the book and found the article that Lunwulou invited Chu Xisheng to write - "Introduction to the Wind-Chasing Sword".

He read the first page carefully and smiled.

This person's Wind-Chasing Sword Technique is indeed at the sixth level. With such a shallow sword cultivation, he still has the confidence to publish an article in "On the Martial Divine Machine*Dongzhou Chronicle", which is simply laughable.

——But judging from Chu Xisheng’s current level, it’s already pretty good.

Shen Zhou was already losing interest, but he still had the patience to continue reading.

Just a moment later, Shen Zhou's expression gradually changed.

After reading this article "Introduction to the Wind Chasing Knife", Shen Zhou put down the book and looked thoughtfully at Long Heng who was sitting opposite him: "How do you feel?"

Recently, as a link between him and Shangguan Shenhao, this person often visited his residence.

Shen Zhou was dissatisfied with the Shangguan family and the Long family for accumulating too much.

However, the situation was so bad that he couldn't let Qiao do whatever he wanted.

The three families must strengthen contact to compete with the Iron Flag Gang.

"How do you say that?" Long Heng frowned: "His words are clear and concise, penetrating to the core, and easy to understand. His articles are also very down-to-earth, without any obscure or mysterious content. And he covers everything, no! It's too comprehensive.

No, there are no shortcomings. Simply, simply——"

He didn't seem to know how to describe it. He pondered for a moment before saying: "Almost all the sword styles have reached the ideal state of the sixth level of the Wind Chasing Knife. They are simply the highest level of balance for the Wind Chasing Knife. I believe that once this article is published, it will definitely be popular.

He will be regarded as a model by countless low-level martial arts cultivators who practice the Wind Chasing Sword!"

Shen Zhou nodded slightly, with a complicated look on his face: "It is indeed so comprehensive that it is shocking. Every move and every move has reached the ultimate level. This shows that its foundation is solid. As far as chasing the wind knife is concerned, it is unparalleled in the world.

Right. This guy’s understanding is already very terrible, but he still has the patience to polish his foundation.”

Long Heng was no longer interested in this.

No matter how comprehensive and perfect Chu Xisheng has practiced the Wind Chasing Sword, it is still at the sixth level.

Studying Chu Xisheng's sword skills will not help solve their current predicament.

"Let's talk about Xishan." Long Heng took a sip of tea absentmindedly: "What do you think about the current situation of the hunters in Xishan? I heard that the situation there has been very bad in recent days? Tie

The Banner Gang is deeply supported by tens of thousands of dock coolies, trackers and boatmen in Xiushui County, which is already very scary. If the six thousand hunters are also controlled by it, our situation will only become more embarrassing."

"Impossible."

Shen Zhou sighed.

He looked a little depressed because he had lost some vitality in the battle with the Iron Maniac a few days ago: "The Dan family set up checkpoints and blocked three trade routes. All the necessary supplies such as food, vegetable oil, soy vinegar, cloth, etc. could not be delivered.

We can't even transport private salt to Jiudaowu and Baiyun Village."

Long Heng nodded slightly and frowned: "I have also heard about this. It is said that not only the three commercial roads in Xishan, but also the two waterways leading to the Shenxiu River from Jiudaowu and Baiyun Village were also attacked by the Iron Flag Gang's warships.

blockade.

Several underworld figures, including the one-armed swordsman Li Cang, who sold stolen goods for the Xishan bandits, were recently killed by Chu Xisheng. In the past few days, the entire ancient market has been in a state of turmoil, and no business has dared to touch Xishan.

A bandit's business."

Shen Zhou's face was calm and his voice was flat: "These merchants seemed to be forced by Chu Xisheng to cooperate, but in fact they just went along with the flow and turned a deaf ear to my words. However, in recent years, Jiudaowu's power has increased greatly, and it has seized control of several business roads in Xishan.

Too much has really aroused public outrage. Their current situation is extremely difficult."

As far as he knew, the gangs of thieves in Xishan could not sell their stolen goods, nor could they buy firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Chu Xisheng also chose a good time, it was just after the Chinese New Year, when various businesses were in decline.

Although Chu Xisheng blocked Xishan for only a few days, it has already shown results.

Shen Zhou sighed slightly again and looked towards the direction of Xishan: "It's not that I haven't thought of ways, such as dispatching grain and rice from Cangwu County. The problem is that the nine hundred miles of mountain roads in the mountain are winding and rugged, and the cost is extremely high. Xishan is a

Five times the side.

I also asked people to smuggle rice into Xishan along with those hunters. The problem is that Xishan Hall’s interrogation is very strict. They ignored the Xishan hunters, but they were extremely cruel to my subordinates of the Shen family. They are now dead.

There were more than twenty people."

Speaking of this, he thought of Lu Pingyuan.

When Lu Pingyuan served under Liu Dingtang, he didn't think anything of it. But when this person came into the hands of Chu Xisheng, he felt that this person was a talent.

The entire Xishan area is impeccable.

Long Heng also frowned: "This guy is really vicious!"

What will be the consequences after the Xishan bandits are blocked?

When they are in dire straits, they will not hesitate to attack those Western Mountain hunters, squeezing their money and robbing them of food.

Chu Xisheng not only wants to force the Xishan Orion to beg for mercy and take the initiative to hand over the peace money, but also to win his heart!

Those hunters won't think so much, they will only see the bandits in Xishan and treat them more and more excessively.

Without the protection of Xishan Hall, the thieves would take whatever they wanted from them, and even force them to have their families destroyed.

They would only ask Chu Xisheng to come to the rescue and collect the blood tax.

Unless the Shen family can control those Xishan bandits, they will not rob the hunters of their money, food and property.

The problem is that if bandits can enforce orders and prohibitions and do not cause harm to the local area, then they are not called bandits.

However, Long Heng is here today precisely to solve the problem.

"We might as well start with the Dan family."

Long Heng was thoughtful, with confusion in his eyes: "They are so brave! They dare to take over the financial resources of Lord Junwei and set up a trap in Xishan. Dan Chiling is not afraid of the defeat of the Iron Banner Gang in the future.

Lord Commander, do you want to settle accounts in the future?"

If Dan Chi Ling had some sense, he shouldn't have sealed off those three mountain roads so as to leave some room for the future.

Shen Zhou smiled coldly and played with the tea cup in his hand: "You are wrong. Just last night, Dan Chiling sent thirty thousand taels of magic silver to the governor."

So what if the Iron Flag Gang falls?

The Dan family had no choice but to surrender to Xishan Hall. They had the protection of the governor, so why should they care about Shen Zhou's opinion?

People can see clearly that at that time, it was a matter of debate whether Shen Zhou still had the money to occupy the position of 'Xiushui County Lieutenant'. Why didn't the Dan family do this business?

Long Heng was stunned for a moment, and then his mood was extremely complicated.

He was helpless at the governor's greed for money, but also admired Dan Chiling's cunning.

Long Heng then calmed down, and his eyes showed a sharp look: "If you can't be soft, then be tough. Dan Chiling blocked three passages with the strength of a family, which can be said to be overestimating his capabilities. We might as well let a few thieves in Xishan

Bandits, work together to force a crossing and teach them a lesson."

When Shen Zhou heard this, the corners of his lips slightly raised with a sarcastic expression.

Do you think you, Long Heng, need to speak up about this matter?

He shook his head slightly: "I am already planning this matter, but I have to wait for the right time."

What kind of timing is most appropriate?

Of course, it was when Chu Xisheng failed to rescue him.

Otherwise, if this person blocks those narrow mountain roads with the intention of the Yajuan Sword, he will truly be like "one person can guard the barrier, and ten thousand people can't open it."

There are several gangs of bandits in Xishan, no matter how many people there are, they are not enough to kill.

※※※※

At the same time, at the southern foot of Xishan Mountain, there was a small village called "Jijia Village".

Seventeen-year-old Orion Ji Yuan looked at the thieves who broke into his house with an expression of anger and helplessness.
