Lord of Puluo

Iron Gate Fort is suddenly about to close.

Li Banfeng was not nervous. At worst, he would live in Tiemen Fort and he would definitely be able to find a place to hide the key.

Sui Donglan was so frightened that she didn't bother to cover her face and ran all the way to the mouth of the canyon, even her scarf ran away.

By the time we reached the mouth of the canyon, it was too late, the big iron gate had been closed.

Two men stood in front of the door and shouted to the fleeing traders: "Don't go out, the bandits from Feiying Mountain are coming."

As soon as she heard that the bandits were coming, Sui Donglan ran all the way and returned to Li Banfeng.

"Seller, I caught up with the bandits, what should I do?"

Li Banfeng remained silent. He wanted to know the quality of this group of bandits.

There are two to three hundred residences in Tiemen Fort. As far as Li Banfeng knows, there are four-story residences here.

The owner of the fort is a house builder on the eighth floor. How powerful a bandit is, who dares to attack the Iron Gate Fort?

The steam iron door was spitting out white mist, and the man selling cigarettes whispered: "They can't get in. This door is very tight. If they dare to take a step closer to the door, their skin will be peeled off and their flesh will be rotten by the hot steam..."

Before he finished talking about selling cigarettes, someone called out from outside the door: "People inside, listen, I am Luo Dagui. I am the one behind Feiying Mountain. Please tell your boss to come out and say something."

"The gun head of Feiying Mountain! The martial arts cultivator on the seventh floor!" Sui Donglan was startled and hurriedly hid under the eaves of Wu Yongchao's house.

The cigarette seller was also scared and hid under the eaves while pushing a cart of tobacco leaves.

Fighting before and leaving behind is a slang term that refers specifically to the cannon head in the village, that is, the most capable leader under the village leader.

When they heard that they were really bandits from Feiying Mountain, all the homesteaders returned to their houses, and the vendors had nowhere to go, so they all squatted under the eaves.

Li Banfeng stood there and listened carefully to the other party's voice.

What kind of door is this? Is this martial arts?

I am more than a hundred meters away from the valley entrance, and he must be some distance away from the valley entrance. Is the sound so loud?

Could it be that this cannon leader also practiced the lion's roar technique?

After a while, another voice came from outside: "Luo Paotou, why do you want to come to our Iron Gate Fort?"

Upon hearing this voice, everyone's emotions immediately relaxed.

The castle lord spoke.

Whether they are home builders in Iron Gate Fort or hawkers doing business, in their minds, the owner of the fort is their biggest backer, which is why they are willing to pay rent.

The cannon leader spoke again: "We have a lot of new brothers in the village, and we are tight. I would like to ask you to borrow a couple of dollars to spend. I won't borrow more. Ten thousand oceans. Do you want to give it now, or I will come over another day." take?"

Upon hearing that it was ten thousand yuan, all the traders frowned.

Li Banfeng couldn't see the expressions of the home cultivators.

There was silence outside the valley for a long time, and then the castle owner spoke: "We are all poor people. You guys are asking for ten thousand oceans, but we can't get it."

"That means you won't lend it, that means you won't give us this face!"

"Luo Paotou, you and I, the leader of the village, are old friends. We always have to talk things out. At the end of the year, I gave your leader a piece of my mind, and now I'm collecting money from you. I'm afraid it's a bit unjust!"

"We have accepted the wishes at the end of the year, and we have accepted the love, but this matter has been revealed. Now we are talking about the current things, and today we will talk about today's truth!"

"If you say that, go through my iron gate first!" The castle master gave the order, and the big iron gate whirred, and a cloud of steam gushes out.

Luo Paotou laughed, and his laughter was full of sarcasm: "Fortmaster Zhou, I know your door is powerful, but we don't necessarily want to open it!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, more than a dozen stones suddenly fell on both sides of the valley and on the cliff.

Each stone is quite large, and an average person with seven or eight of them may not be able to lift one stone.

Two traders' trucks were smashed to pieces, and a home repairman had a hole in his roof.

Li Banfeng looked up at the top of the cliff. There was no human figure at all on the cliff hundreds of meters high.

Luo Paotou shouted: "These stones are our meeting gifts. Starting from today, I can't see ten thousand oceans a day, and I want one of your heads every day!"

The bandits outside the iron gate seemed to have left, but the iron gate never opened.

The vendors were so frightened that they did not dare to move. The repairmen were all huddled at home, and no one went out.

Not long after, several of Fort Master Zhou's men knocked on the door from door to door, asking each house builder what their opinion was.

Ten thousand oceans, every household has to chip in.

There are two to three hundred households in the Iron Gate Fort, and one person can afford thirty or forty oceans. This amount is not something that everyone can afford.

Zhou Bao mainly asked everyone for their opinion, whether to fight or make peace.

If we fight, we'll have to fight these bandits from Feiying Mountain.

If you want to sue for peace, discuss it with them and see if you can give them less.

Wu Yongchao told the fort master's steward: "I want to fight. As long as the war starts, I am willing to stand in the front row."

The steward's name was Ma Dingfu. He took a small notebook and wrote it down: "Okay, next one."

Li Banfeng used the earrings to listen to the sound, which was more than two miles away.

The house repairer does have a gentle temperament, but gentleness and cowardice are two different things. From the sound Li Banfeng heard, more than 70% of the people wanted to be beaten.

Sui Donglan didn't know the situation and was still hoping not to fight: "We can't fight, but we must not fight..."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "What are you afraid of? You are not from Iron Gate Fort, and there is no need for you to go out and fight."

"Seller, you don't know that once the fighting starts, the big iron door can no longer be opened. We all have to squat here until the fighting is over before we can go out."

OK!

Staying at home and guarding their hometown is the way they are best at fighting. I want to see how the bandits from Feiying Mountain attack inside.

At dusk, the big iron gate opened.

Huchi~huchi~

Or a door on the side.

Finished so quickly?

Ma Dingfu, the man in charge, shouted: "Twenty people in the fort want to fight, and eighty of them want to make peace. The fort master listened to everyone and went to make peace with Feiying Mountain. All outsiders should leave. The fort will be closed for the day tomorrow!"

Make peace?

Eighty percent of people want to make peace?

Did I hear it wrong?

Or maybe there are more people in the depths of Baozi and I didn’t hear what they said?

Just when Li Banfeng felt suspicious, Ma Dingfu came closer and said to Li Banfeng: "Brother, you are doing business here, have you paid the rent?"

"Don't you pay the rent at the end of the month?"

"At the end of the month, there is the rent at the end of the month, and there is a deposit for entering the door. They all paid the deposit when they first came in. Even if you sell here for a day, the deposit is indispensable. If you don't want to pay, you can leave today. stay home."

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay. How much is the deposit?"

"five hundred!"

"Just hand it over this time, right?"

"Then it depends on whether you are a responsible businessman. You have to do business properly and just pay monthly rent from now on. If you are not responsible, we have something else to say."

Li Banfeng asked in surprise: "Do you think I'm not responsible?"

Ma Dingfu said with a smile: "I really don't think you are too responsible. You don't sell much here. You ask here and there, and you have a lot of things to do."

Li Banfeng looked at Sui Donglan: "Do you think she is a responsible person?"

new

Ma Dingfu's face sank: "I think you talk a lot, give me the money quickly!"

Li Banfeng gave Ma Dingfu five hundred yuan and took Sui Donglan out of the fort.

Walking on the road, Sui Donglan pushed the car and somewhat despised Li Banfeng.

"If someone asks for money, you give it to them, and you still call yourself the salesman's senior brother?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "That's not given to him, it's lent to him. He has to pay it back."

"You can bully me like this," Sui Donglan snorted coldly, "Fortmaster Zhou of Iron Gate Fort dares to challenge Feiying Mountain. How can you dare to touch his people?"

Li Banfeng shrugged his eyebrows: "He didn't challenge him either? Isn't this asking for peace?"

"It would be a huge honor to be able to sue for peace. You don't know how ruthless the bandits in Feiying Mountain are!"

"have you seen?"

"I've seen it before. The village I used to live in was wiped out by He Zhenlei with a big ladle from Feiying Mountain. The village was completely robbed and most of the people were killed."

Li Banfeng was startled: "How many gold and silver treasures are there in your village?"

"It's not gold and silver. During the autumn harvest, bandits came to steal food. They wanted too much, and several families didn't want to give it. When things got serious, the village was wiped out.

If it weren't for the fact that Fort Master Zhou was too discerning to be tough with the people from Feiying Mountain, those bandits were all the reincarnations of the King of Hell, and they had to be soft when they should. "

"What's the name of this Zhou Fort Master?"

"My name is Zhou Anju, and no one in the hundreds of miles around doesn't know his name!" Sui Donglan's face was full of admiration when she mentioned Lord Zhou.

Li Banfeng didn't ask any more and gave Sui Donglan a glass of wine: "Have a good rest at home tomorrow, and then go to Tiemenbao to find me the day after tomorrow.

If you dare not go, your face will continue to hurt until you die. "

After Li Banfeng left, Sui Donglan snorted coldly. When she returned home, she rubbed herself in the mirror for a long time, but she couldn't wipe these two words off her face.

I can't stay in Iron Gate Fort anymore. When I find a way to get the antidote from this faker, I have to find another place to hide my debt.

…

Li Banfeng returned to his home and reviewed what he had seen today.

There were too many contradictions between what he saw and what he heard.

The owner of Iron Gate Castle builds an eight-story house.

What is the concept of eighth floor?

In Puluozhou, one is either at the top of a wealthy family or the head of a gang. He came to Iron Gate Castle to be the master of the castle.

Perhaps it is because the home cultivators avoid the world and do not want to participate in disputes, so they come here to build a paradise for the home cultivators.

This is understandable.

But why did he bow to the grass bandits in Feiying Mountain?

Most of the people in the fort obviously wanted to fight, but he didn't dare to fight. He also lied, saying that 80% of the people wanted peace?

Could it be that Feiying Mountain was too powerful and forced Lord Zhou to choose to endure it?

There are even more problems with Feiying Mountain.

Their cannon head is a seventh-level martial artist, so their village leader should not be lower than the seventh level.

A ruthless person on the seventh level becomes a bandit.

He is not a grass bandit like Rong Yeguang who is entrenched in the old place and dares to challenge the big family.

They were the kind of bandits who raided villages and massacred people just to grab some food.

Just such a group of grass bandits scared Fort Master Zhou.

Li Banfeng asked the record player: "Madam, have you ever heard of this place called Iron Gate Castle?"

"I've heard that many homesteaders want to go there, and my husband also wants to go there."

"I have already gone, and I am now near Iron Gate Fort. Their fort master is called Zhou Anju. Have you heard of this person?"

"Zhou Anju? This name sounds very much like a homesteader."

"He is indeed a home cultivator, and he is known as an eighth-level cultivator."

"A house builder on the eighth floor?" The lady was also shocked, "I've never heard of this little slave.

The house repairer doesn't show up easily. Although Xiaonu has never heard of it, he can't say that he has no real ability. "

"Have you ever heard of He Zhenlei from Feiying Mountain?"

"I've heard of Feiying Mountain, it's a place name, but He Zhenlei has never heard of it."

Li Banfeng asked the wine gourd and the old teapot, but neither of them knew.

Is the reputation of such a famous Mountain King limited to the area around Iron Gate Castle?

…

That night, Li Banfeng followed the mountain road and climbed the cliff of Tiemen Fort.

This mountain road is not easy to walk. Li Banfeng is a fourth-level travel practitioner, so the walking is quite difficult.

When we reached the middle of the mountain, the situation was different. There was a platform here, five or six meters wide, close to the cliff and extending into the canyon.

Li Banfeng understood that the bandits were standing on this platform and throwing stones into the valley.

His guess was correct. There were poles, ropes, crowbars on the platform, and several large rocks ready nearby.

But Li Banfeng didn't understand this again.

Such a crucial platform, with cliffs above and below it, is obviously a natural sentinel. Why didn't Lord Zhou send someone to guard it?

Li Banfeng was sitting on the platform thinking about the reason, when he suddenly heard an earring in his ear: "Sir, there is movement."

Li Banfeng was shocked. If he was discovered in this place, he would have no place to escape. If he couldn't, he would have to hide in his home.

He was thinking about where to hide the key, but he heard that the sound did not come from the mountain, but that there was a quarrel at the bottom of the mountain.

"I won't pay this money, let them come and fight with me!" It was Wu Yongchao's voice.

"No!"

"Determined not to hand it over!"

Many people were shouting along.

"We all discussed the matter of making peace before, why are you unwilling to pay now?" the voice of Ma Dingfu, the steward of Lord Zhou.

"Who has discussed it with you? If I want to fight, we will all fight!"

"This is what everyone has decided. If you don't want to pay, just move out as soon as possible!"

"Why should we move? The land is ours, the house is ours, why do you want to move?"

"I've been coming to Tiemen Fort for fifty years. When I came, Fort Master Zhou hadn't come yet. If anything happened, we would fight. Why should we let the bandits bully us?"

Li Banfeng sat silently on the platform, lost in thought.

He looked back at the tools on the platform.

Ropes, poles, crowbars...

It seems that moving a rock requires a lot of people and a lot of guys.

The quality of the bandits in Feiying Mountain seems not to be very good.

The bandit, who was not very good, easily occupied the dangerous spot. What was the quality of this eighth-level fortress master?

…

In the Yuezhou Third Hospital, He Jiaqing was lying on the hospital bed and laughed: "I missed it, I missed it again."

Ling Miaoying explained: "I did make complete preparations, but I didn't expect..."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll put my friend aside for now and run the newspaper first. Be more careful about the Lu family and be more careful. Thank you for your hard work, brother."

"I see."

Ling Miaoying wiped her sweat and broke off the contact.

He Jiaqing said it was okay.

Is it really okay?

PS: Invisible enemies are scary.
