The old servant's attitude was as if I had chopped off his arm.

Qi Long pondered for a moment, having no memory at all. After thinking about it, he took the short knife from Qi Xiaogu's hand.

Taoist weapon, warning against evil.

"Shan Tang Si Kao": Yang Guifei's father, Xuan Yan, had a sword when he was young. He would wear it whenever he went out and about on the road. If there were evil beasts or thieves in front of him, the sword he wore would make a clanging sound, as if to warn others.

Hence the name Police Evil Knife.

The function of this Taoist weapon is similar to that of the famous Tang Dynasty sword, except that there is a gap as big as a grain of rice at the lower end of the handle.

This mouthpiece is broken.

Qi Lung turned the blade around, and there was a big word "Fei" on the bronze handle.

"Fei's surname is General Yu, swordsman," Qi Long had an idea flash in his mind and said to himself, "It can't be such a coincidence."

On the banks of the Guyue River, the Lu clan fought against the eight clan coalition forces. Qi Long accidentally broke in and was surrounded by tens of thousands of people. This was the beginning of all the stories.

As an inadvertent participant in this war, he remembered clearly that one of the warlords in the Eight-War Alliance was named Fei.

General Yu is not named Yu either, but is the leader of a clan who lost military power due to various reasons in this war-torn world.

These people fled to the "concession" to survive, either frustrated or trying to make a comeback.

And the property they have collected over the years is the capital for their comeback, and it is also a major source of wealth for the concession. Brokers, retainers, lobbyists, and a large number of people make a living from this.

Of course, there are very few such "generals" who do well, and most generals end up miserable after their money is exhausted.

This one named Fei seems to belong to the latter group.

"In a sense, we can be regarded as the same fallen people from the end of the world," Qi Long played with the blade of the sword, smiled and shook his head.

He was beaten by several leopard generals of Lu Clan, and was helplessly trapped in the battlefield, and finally broke a vertebrae.

The Fei Clan Master, and the son who was suspected of being the Fei Clan Master just now, were also beaten and left here, becoming General Yu.

The old servant may be a general-like character.

"Are you full?"

Qi Xiaogu burped heavily, her belly bulging like a pregnant woman.

"Guest, we only accept spiritual silver here, not ordinary silver."

Qi Long thought for a moment and said, "Do you think I am a rich person?"

The waiter also hesitated and said, "I think you look like a freeloader."

“Good eyesight!”

"I paid for this brother's meal!"

Another tall, feminine young man wearing a floral green brocade robe walked over, grinning, revealing his jeweled teeth.

"May I have the pleasure of inviting this friend to tea?"

This kind of weird, but particularly wealthy dress is the style of a "spider aristocrat" at first glance.

The spider noble is also a frequent visitor in the 'concession', just like the 'General Yu', except that he is the kind who specializes in sucking human blood.

"I'm sorry, you are not very lucky today," Qi Long smiled and took out a token, "Can this be used to pay for the meal?"

The waiter's expression changed, he crossed his hands and raised his little finger: "Zhao servant Yan Lingjia has met his master."

Opening a shop in the pass with a sign like 'Qifu Restaurant' is indeed the work of a top broker like Spider Noble.

"Let's go, listen to Mr. Hong, and go back after finishing the Overlord meal, and don't cause any trouble."

Qi Lung carried the little ones, the big ones and the small ones, rubbing their bellies and walked out.

"The Nari family," the spider noble frowned deeply, "investigate him!"

The clawed servant bowed his head.

Among the thirteen direct bloodlines of the spider nobles, the Nari family and the Yanling family have always been fierce rivals.

"Ugh~"

Luxurious luxury is always just the appearance of the "concession". In front of a dilapidated old house, a young man in fine clothes, the former Major General Fei Jin, was retching into the sewer.

A former major general, he is a good material to be used as a clown.

"Old Wei, is he really that swordsman?" Fei Jin wiped the wine stains and raised his head, his eyes were clear.

"Yes, young master, even though it has been so long, the old man still remembers who cut off my arm in that battle."

"In other words, he can be an alliance partner when it comes to dealing with Lu Clan?"

Lao Wei hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Young Master, I just hope that you will have a safe life."

"General Yu, son of a turtle, what's the use of this kind of peace!" Fei Jin said fiercely, his expression was somewhat like that of Qi Cong back then.

The same poverty, the same unwillingness to give up.

…

Jiang Mingzhi did not deceive Hong Xiaosi. After arriving at the Tianbing Division's secret stronghold in the city, Hong Xiaosi saw his uncle at a glance.

He has a tall crown, thin cheeks, a clumsy face, and is dressed in a Taoist robe with iron sleeves. He looks more Taoist than a Taoist.

In fact, this guy is just a Xibei. Apart from practicing a powerful set of spells, he has nothing to do with the Taoist sect.

Hong Xiaosi has been slandering a lot. How did such a pretentious, rigid and stubborn guy marry his beautiful aunt?

"Here we come." The other party didn't even raise his head.

"My subordinates have seen the chief executioner."

The Hong family is actually a big family outside the customs, with many branches, and many powerful people are related by marriage.

As a fourth-grade Shinto official assigned to the Heavenly Arms Division by the Wuping Protectorate, he is responsible for supervising the operations of the Heavenly Arms Division. There is no doubt that he is also a big shot.

Even before that, he was also a member of the Qintiansi Taoist Corps, the powerful department outside the customs, and was directly responsible to the Grand Governor.

The experience of two consecutive real-power departments has allowed the other party to develop a strong aura. Hong Xiaosi has such a dissolute temper, but he still stands calmly.

After writing an official article, Xing Sheng waved to Jiang Wenzhi to take it away. When only two people were left, he got straight to the point:

"The report you sent to the superiors was suppressed by me."

"Why?"

Hong Xiaosi raised his head in astonishment. Ever since he witnessed the incident of the 'Ziwu Ren', he had suspected that the top brass of the Tianbing Division had colluded with Chen Guoyou outside Guan Guan, and reported this to the top brass through special channels.

"Because this matter has been tacitly approved by the higher-ups. They don't directly support it, but they won't oppose it, let alone allow others to make trouble."

"If a plague like the corpse warrior spreads, it will be a major disaster that affects hundreds of thousands of people in the pass. These people are all boxers with a certain fighting ability!"

"So what?" Xing Sheng said expressionlessly, "The higher-ups are concerned about the overall situation."

Hong Xiaosi felt an inexplicable anger in his heart. Local forces such as the five major clans in Shanbei Road were trying to find ways to solve the problem, but the superiors were actually indifferent to it.

"Since the chief criminal officer is so concerned about the overall situation, I guess you don't need a little guy like me to do things for you."

Xing Sheng heard that the other party's tone was wrong, and slowly raised his head, saying: "You have changed a lot in the few months since you came to Guan Nei. Didn't you always look down on people in Guan Nei?"

Hong Xiaosi's expression froze. Did people like Qi Long, Qi Xiaogu, and Xue Bai exert a subtle influence on him?

After all, the relationship between the two was unusual. Xing Sheng was silent for a while and briefly explained:

"There is only one overall situation at the top, which is the Shenting plan, and the eight evils are a supplement to this plan. Because it is impossible to judge whether this attempt is good or bad, the higher-ups will ignore it."

"And only when this plan starts to take a turn for the worse will the higher-ups intervene."

Hong Xiaosi chuckled and said, "So, the planned business trip was missed?"

"There is nothing wrong with the plan, it's just that some people have some inappropriate ideas about the plan, so the branches and leaves need to be pruned."

Hong Xiaosi turned his head and his expression suddenly changed: "Shi Xie'er, the evil-killing general of the Ministry of Water?"

Is this woman causing trouble!?

Xing Sheng was noncommittal:

"The relationship within the Tianbing Division is very complicated, and there is a taboo against one's own people killing one's own people. Don't worry, the evidence of the crime has been laid out for you. You just happened to get the evidence and happened to meet the other party. I will report it to you, whether you have merit or demerit."

Hong Xiaosi was not worried about this. After all, the other party was also his uncle. The old man had saved his life back then. There was no reason to deceive a junior like himself, so he took the list and looked at it carefully.

"I have arranged for others to take action on the people above, those who are obviously hesitant and those who are easy to offend. The few you want to kill are all newly recruited by the Tianbing Division in the pass. They are inside this giant city.

, just convenient for you to do it."

Hong Xiaosi's mouth twitched and he had nothing to say. After all, everything has been arranged. All you need to do is make a knife.

In a sense, this is also a meritorious task, and people without backing will not be able to get this kind of 'good thing'.

Hong Xiaosi flipped through the list to the end, suddenly let out a soft 'eh', and read it carefully several times.

"This person, the Eastern Demon Slayer of the Ministry of Water, is also a target to be eradicated? He has only been in the job for three years."

"As a person from Guan Nei, someone who can climb up to the rank of fifth-rank official in three years, with deep skills, light background, and sufficient strength, is the best target for some people to control."

Hong Xiaosi naturally understood what this meant, but he still looked at the information with a strange expression.
