  "No gambling."

  "…"

  "An Zheng!"

  "Eh?"

  "You really are an idiot."

  "Like I said, sometimes, it's true."

  An Zheng raised his head and stuck out his chest, "Opening a casino to earn money huh … But I just don't like it. "

  Chen Shaobai: "You must have been a saint in your previous life."

  An Zheng: "My entire life is the same."

  Chen Shaobai: "Please accept my admiration."

  An Zheng: "I'm starting to suspect that there's something wrong with your orientation."

  Chen Shaobai: "The heck... "What the f * ck do you suspect? It's just that there's something wrong with my orientation."

  An Zheng: "..."

  Chen Shaobai laughed, but only An Zheng could hear his voice. After he finished laughing, Chen Shaobai suddenly calmed down: "An Zheng … Last time, you asked me what I would do if I really stood on the opposite side. I said that I would kill you myself. After I returned, I carefully thought about it.

  The sound disappeared.

  An Zheng's footsteps paused, he looked around and saw nothing.

  He did not understand why Chen Shaobai would suddenly mention this, especially when the words "I will kill you with my own hands" was mentioned. Therefore … In the future, he must stand against the opposite side?

  Why?

  An Zheng walked out of Heavenly Awakening Sect with his doubts and shouted after standing still: "Fatty! "Call everyone back. Let's go out and take a look before it gets dark."

  Du Shoushou rushed out of Heavenly Awakening Sect like the wind: "What?"

  An Zheng hugged Du Shoushou's shoulders: "I want to knock down a large pigsty for you in the capital."

  Chapter 215 - That Scholar Is So Handsome

  Because of solidarity, it was extremely efficient.

  Less than two hours after An Zheng's order, all the people from the Heavenly Awakening Sect that had hidden in the city returned. These big sized men were all on tenterhooks, afraid that An Zheng and the rest would not be able to get through this crisis. Now that An Zheng had summoned them back, everyone immediately rushed back without stopping.

  Lang Jing's injuries were more or less healed, and when he rushed in from the outside with his men and saw An Zheng, he grinned widely, "Sect Master, you shouldn't let us leave next time. We are a family, so no matter what happens, we should shoulder the burden together. "

  The others all agreed one after another, "Sect Master, I know that you are doing this for our benefit. But those who can live together with wealth and cannot live through adversity are not called brothers! "

  Very quickly, the hundreds of big sized men all returned. Everyone gathered at the entrance of the Heavenly Awakening Sect, all of them very excited.

  Just as An Zheng was about to explain, he saw a lonely man slowly walking in with a small bundle on his back, his expression extremely pale. This person raised his head and looked around the courtyard. After being stunned for a moment, he walked in An Zheng's direction with large strides, "Owner, what happened?"

  The one who came was Gu Chaotong.

  Seeing that he had returned, An Zheng could probably guess the reason.

  "Let's go back and rest first. Don't think too much about it."

  Gu Chaotong said: "A failure is a failure, there is nothing else to think about. Owner, what are you guys doing? "

  An Zheng also did not want to hide the truth from him, so he told him about the declaration of war on the Gao Family. Gu Chaotong put down the bag in his hands: "Owner, you can't be careless about this. The Gao Family would definitely fight back with all their might at this point in time. They would not allow anyone to challenge the Gao Family's position as the overlord of the Fanggu's martial arts world. Even if the Swallow King gave the order, the Gao Family would still retaliate with all their might. If my guess is right, they might even dare to assassinate Swallow King! Those people can even do things like selling women and children, what else can they not do? "

  An Zheng said: "I understand the meaning behind your words, your opinion is that we should not declare war on the Gao Family at this time."

  Gu Chaotong was silent for a while, before his eyes gradually brightened: "No! Opportunities and dangers exist side by side, and the more dangerous a situation is, the greater the chances. "

  He asked An Zheng: "Do you have a plan?"

  An Zheng replied: "Let's go one by one."

  Gu Chaotong shook his head: "This won't do, we will fight our way through, one by one, if we can't get to the third casino, the Gao Family's power will gather and fight back. At that time, forget about us hundreds of men from Heavenly Awakening Sect, even if our numbers were to double, we wouldn't be able to stop them. Therefore … It should be done in two parts. "

  An Zheng was slightly taken aback. Gu Chaotong had just returned and did not have a complete understanding of the situation.

  Gu Chaotong squatted on the ground and used a small stone to draw a map of many streets: "A few days ago, owner allowed Xiao Qi Dao to familiarize himself with the environment of the Fanggu, so I took a stroll around. Although I didn't pay much attention to it, I more or less remembered the location of the Gao Family's casino. The Gao Family's casinos may seem scattered, but there is a certain pattern to their distribution. "

  The drawing on his hand was extremely quick. The drawing looked slightly sloppy, but it was very obvious at a glance.

  His memory and composition were enough to make others look at him in a new light, to say nothing of anything else. Du Shoushou gave An Zheng a thumbs up, "You have picked up another great treasure."

  An Zheng's gaze was all on the map, and he started to admire Gu Chaotong more and more. He knew that Gu Chaotong was strolling on the streets with the Xiao Qi Dao, but he never thought that Gu Chaotong was actually so considerate. Not only was the location of the Gaojia casino recorded, but also the terrain and buildings near the Gaojia casino. The Gao Family had more than three hundred casinos in Fanggu, but he couldn't remember clearly.

  After Gu Chaotong finished drawing on the ground, he pointed to the most densely packed places in the casino. "The martial academy, Great Cauldron Academy, Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao, these famous schools and sects all have Gao Clan casinos, and there's more than one. "And the most concentrated is this …"

  The imperial government pointed to a location on the map. It was the western city.

  An Zheng had heard of the wealthy East and West of Fanggu before. The western part of the city was filled with high ranking officials and nobles. Therefore, the gambling houses of the Gao Clan were especially crowded in this area. It was probably built this way to make it convenient for the nobles to play with and wash clean of their money.

  Gu Chaotong said: "We can go all out, but our Heavenly Awakening Sect's strength is obviously not enough. "So I think there should be a plan. I have an immature idea, can you tell it to Owner?"

  An Zheng said: "Sir, please speak."

  Gu Chaotong said: "Divide our people into two groups, one group is bigger than the other. Take two-thirds of our Heavenly Awakening Sect's power. I think... Let Master Du and Lang Jing lead the way, and according to what the owner said, we will start from the Gao Family casino, which is the closest to Heavenly Awakening Sect. But I can't start fighting blindly, I have to wait … When the news came out from the palace, if the Gao Family wanted to make a comeback, their only chance would be to assassinate the Swallow King. So the moment the news from the palace gets out, it means that all the experts from the Gao Family have gathered at Tiantong Palace. "

  His fingers moved across the map unhurriedly, his speech calm and unhurried, but the sequence of events was extremely clear: "Master Du and Lang Jing have two-thirds of their manpower with them, once there is any news from the palace, they will immediately start pushing things away from here."

  He pointed to the nearest Gao Family casino. "Don't give the other party any time to react. Be f
ast, be fierce, and be very aggressive. I estimate that the Gao Family is so strong that even if all of the experts went to Tiantong Palace, there are still a lot of people left there to guard. So within two hours, the Gao Family will organize a counterattack. "

  He looked at Du Shoushou, "At this time, we have to guard this place firmly. Master Du, take your men and guard one of the casinos. Do not rush out, and guard it for as long as you can hold it. "

  He turned his head to look at An Zheng, "Owner, select your elites and sneak over to the western city. When Master Du begins to shoulder the Gao Clan's counterattack, your side will attack. At the same time, since they had already made their move, there was no need to be polite. As long as he made a ruckus in the western part of the city and captured a few casinos in a short period of time, he would be able to do so. When the spectators saw the Heavenly Awakening Sect brazenly fighting with the Gao Family, they could not sit still. This is a chain reaction, with our Heavenly Awakening Sect's power, how can we possibly destroy the Gao Family? "

  Du Shoushou shook his head, "Of course not."

  Gu Chaotong said: "So, our goal is not to eliminate the Gao Family, but to lead other forces and take as many territories as we can. But what's important is that those that can be robbed are all the people around us, and they are all the territories that Master Du's men have stolen. "

  Du Shoushou was startled for a moment: "Aren't we feigning offense? An Zheng and his men were the main attackers. "

  Gu Chaotong laughed, "In terms of military strategy, it is illusory and real, how can there be any fixed feint. That's right, I want the Gao Family to think that our target is the western part of the city. As long as Owner and the rest make a move and snatch a few casinos, then the other powers will rise up … The Gao Family would immediately transfer all their remaining forces to the West City. At that time, the Western City would be the main battlefield. But what kind of people lived in the Western City? He was either rich or noble. It is impossible for those people to make our Heavenly Awakening Sect stay in the Western City, so it seems like the main attack was a feint. "

  An Zheng nodded: "Understood... There are too many powerful people in the West City. With our current strength, we can't even hope to get a foothold. Therefore, what he needed was to lead the way and let those influential nobles make their move against the Gao Clan. At that time, the West City will be in chaos. Our target is actually still the East City's territory. His body is relatively close to our Heavenly Awakening Sect, so it's much easier to control him. Even if we really were to take over some territory at the west side of the city, we will not be able to defend it, because our military strength is truly limited. "

  Gu Chaotong said: "Owner is right, this is what I want to say next … Owner will bring a portion of his elites to attack in the West City. The journey will be smooth and he will be able to acquire a few casinos. However, these casinos could not be left alive. Rather than wasting their manpower to defend them, it was possible that there would be heavy casualties. It would be better to just send it out … This gift … it has to be very knowledgeable. "

  An Zheng laughed: "As the proverbs says, it is to get helpers."

  Gu Chaotong said: "That's right! After the owner takes down some territory, it depends on the situation. If the other powerhouses make a move, then the owner will choose the one with the strongest power, a clan or sect that can fight against the Gao Family and send out the territory that our Heavenly Awakening Sect snatched from the Western City. Once this power took over these territories, the Gao family would be irreconcilable with them. At that time, Owner will lead our men and retreat from the West City and eliminate all the Gao Family's forces that were fighting on Master Du's side in one fell swoop. "When that happens, the majority of the capital cities of the Gao Family in the eastern part of the city will belong to the owner."

  Du Shoushou could not help but exclaim: "He's really cunning."

  An Zheng rolled his eyes at Du Shoushou, as Du Shoushou laughed in embarrassment: "Planning … That's what I said. "

  Gu Chaotong laughed a little embarrassedly: "What I like to read the most are military books and the battle examples in the past. Even though I was powerless, my biggest dream back then was to lead the strong soldiers of the great swallow to open up a new territory. However, the great swallow is already rotten to the point that it makes my heart tremble, then my ambitions would have disappeared long ago. "

  An Zheng bowed deeply, "Mister, this is truly my great fortune."

  Gu Chaotong hurriedly held An Zheng up, "Don't say that, Owner. Without you taking me in, even I, Gu Chaotong, do not know where I would have fallen to. Perhaps the final result would be nothing more than a pile of bones on the grassy slope outside the city. I am able to share some of the burden with my owner, so I feel more at ease. "

  An Zheng said: "Then do as Mr. Gu has said, do not delay for even a moment."

  Gu Chaotong pointed to the map that was drawn on the ground: "I'm here."

  That place was the Martial Arts Academy.

  Gu Chaotong said: "This is right in the middle of the two battlefields. I am here, so I would like to ask Owner Dong to send someone to arrange for me to enter the Martial Arts Academy's gate. You can look at the whole thing. We'll use the flag. If there was always a red flag on the door, then Master Dong and Master Du would just attack ferociously. If there is a blue flag on top of the gate tower, then retreat, Master Dong, or Master Du, if there is a black flag, retreat immediately with your men. "

  An Zheng said: "I will follow Master's instructions."

  Gu Chaotong said: "This battle, actually does not need to be fought. Even if he won, there would be endless trouble in the future. It is impossible for the Gao Family to be annihilated in one fell swoop. Even if they are just a small handful of people left, they are still a threat to my Heavenly Awakening Sect. However, if he were to look ahead and look behind him, he would definitely not be able to accomplish anything. The key here today, is not our Heavenly Awakening Sect, nor is it any of the other families or forces, but the Tiantong Palace. As long as the Swallow King did not die, the Gao Family would be annihilated. In fact, the Gao Family was already on the verge of destruction, even if they assassinated the Swallow King. The empress dowager would not allow the Gao Family to continue to exist. She was only using the Gao Family to prevent the crime of killing the Swallow King from falling onto her own head. "

  He stood up straight and said, "But after today, no one in the world will be unaware of Heavenly Awakening Sect."

  As he said these words, this desolate scholar was in high spirits.

  Chapter 216 - Killing

  All the casinos in the Gao Family had the same signboard.

  There were four big words on the signboard … Mirror Hall.

  Of course, only the Gao Clan could be so arrogant. On the surface, these four words seemed to say that the Gao Clan's casinos would treat them equally, but if this word were to be hung in the yamen, it would not be inappropriate. In other words, the Gao family believed themselves to be the officials of the martial arts world.

  In fact, the Gao Clan did indeed have this kind of ability. Before his death, the Old Master of the Gao family had made a will not to allow the descendants of the Gao family to become officials. To be able to express his stance to the Swallow King in such a manner, he definitely wouldn't have any ulterior motives. Because of this, the Mu Clan did their best to support the Gao Clan. With the support of the royal family, the Gao Family went with the flow of the martial arts world. It didn't take them long to establish a unique status in the Fanggu. It took him another hundred years to suppress the martial arts world in the great swallow at his feet.

  It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Gao Clan considered themselves to be an official in the martial arts world.

  Less than 300 meters away from the street where the Heavenly Awakening Sect was, there was actually a casino belonging to the Gao Family. Similarly, there was a plaque on the casino's t
op floor. At the lower right corner of the plaque, there were 123 numbers. This meant that this was the 123rd casino opened by the Gao Family.

  Du Shoushou squatted at the door and looked at the casino that was 300 meters away. The furry grass in his mouth had already been bitten off. It looked like the Heavenly Awakening Sect was quiet and normal, but behind Du Shoushou, almost three hundred big sized men were wielding long blades, and were looking forward to it. A few days ago, Xiao Qi Dao was kidnapped by the Gao Family. In order to save the Xiao Qi Dao, Lang Jing was almost killed.

  With a light slap, Du Shoushou turned to look. A huge firework exploded in the northern sky.

  signal.

  Du Shoushou spat out the furry grass in his mouth, extended his hand out, and picked up the blade from the back of the door: "Cheers!"

  As he walked forward, three hundred big men rushed out of Heavenly Awakening Sect's gate like a tide. Du Shoushou and Lang Jing each led their men and walked forward. The dark blue uniformed men were like a huge dragon as they charged forward, their imposing manner piercing through the sky.

  Everyone in the shops on both sides of the street was stunned, not knowing what the Heavenly Awakening Sect was trying to do.

  When they saw the hundreds of men heading straight for the Gaojia casino, their hearts began to pound.

  "Oh my god!"

  An older merchant held onto the doorframe to steady himself, "Anzhu is about to start a war with the Gao Family."

  "The people of Heavenly Awakening Sect are going to pull up the reputation of the Gao Family!"

  It was unknown who shouted, but it was as if someone had thrown him into a tranquil lake. The shops on both sides of the lake instantly boiled over. Those who were timid peeked out the window, fearing that they would be caught in the crossfire. The braver ones followed behind Heavenly Awakening Sect's team, looking very excited.

  The Gao Clan could be considered powerful in the capital all these years. Whether they were in the martial arts world or not, this kind of drama was enough to excite everyone. A rookie in the martial arts world would challenge the overlord of the martial arts world.
