Chapter 39: Qingqiu City Shanhai Tower

Chu Boping and his group finished dealing with the aftermath of the Heavenly Wolf Stronghold and came to a forest at the foot of the mountain. There was a caravan waiting there. The leader of the caravan immediately went up to Chu Boping and his group when he saw them. He did not show any abnormality to the group of people who had a very strange configuration..

Chu Boping and the others weren't the only ones in the group. There were also more than ten poor people rescued from the Heavenly Wolf Stronghold. Some were women who had been robbed up the mountain, some were men who had been almost squeezed dry, and some were even children whose eyes were filled with confusion..

Chu Boping called out to a black-clothed youth. This youth was the one who had just been slapped by the head with a palm strike, and only had blood flowing from the corner of his mouth..

"Fengnian, we have a lot of people in our team, and we might cause unnecessary trouble along the way. You lead the four teams A, B, C, and D to leave the team and find a suitable opportunity to disguise and enter Qingqiu City. We'll meet up at Shanhai Tower..

"Yes, sir..

The youth called Fengnian respectfully cupped his hands and did not say much. He immediately accepted the order and walked towards the black-clothed youths..

" A, B, C, D, follow me out!" Fifteen youths immediately walked out of the group. The youth simply said a few words to them and made a few gestures. The youths understood..

The sixteen people, including the youth in the lead, regrouped into four teams and sped off in different directions..

Chu Boping and his group also started to blend into the caravan. This caravan had six wagons and four boxcars. Each wagon had a flag with a ferocious shark's head above the sea..

This was the flag of Sea Shark Gang, which had been gaining popularity in Youzhou in recent years. Sea Shark Gang was originally just a small gang that made a living on the dock. Six years ago, Xing Tian, the current gang leader, was born out of nowhere. Under Xing Tian's leadership, Sea Shark Gang continued to expand its territory and recruit troops. In just a few years, its strength soared..

In addition, the new leader of Sea Shark Gang was very moral and had a high reputation in Jianghu. Almost no Green Forest hero dared to provoke a team that could obtain the protection of Sea Shark Gang in the Land of Chaos..

There were 13 experts of Sea Shark Gang guarding the caravan. Each of them looked strong and powerful. The horses they rode were tall and well-trained. They were disciplined and could not be compared to ordinary sects..

When the Sea Shark Gang experts saw Chu Boping, they immediately dismounted and saluted. One of them, a youth who was obviously different from the others in terms of clothes and horses, walked forward..

"Young Master, do you still remember me? I am Ma Xiaohai. I have offended you many years ago. Please forgive me, Young Master..

This person was actually Ma Xiaohai, the young leader of the Sea Shark Gang who had a conflict with Chu Boping and the others a few years ago. At this time, he no longer had the frivolous appearance of those years. His temperament had changed greatly and he had become mature and stable..

"So it's you. There's no need to mention those small things before. I didn't take them to heart..

Chu Boping saw that he thought of Ma Xiaohai's absurd behavior in those years, and he laughed and patted Ma Xiaohai's shoulder gently..

Ma Xiaohai sighed in relief when he saw Chu Boping didn't blame him..

"Young Master, I am now the person in charge of the Sea Shark Gang's Chaos Division. I am fully responsible for the protection of this operation. If you have any instructions, Young Master, please do so..

Ma Xiaohai bowed respectfully again. Obviously, he had been trained very well by Xing Tian, that is, Yan Xingyun, these years..

"Just be like an ordinary caravan guard. There is no need to treat them differently. There is only one requirement. Keep your mouth shut about this mission. If there is news, ask for it..

Chu Boping said seriously, and motioned Ma Xiaohai to return to the team, Ma Xiaohai received the order to leave, and gave orders to his subordinates..

At this moment, the acupuncture points of the people rescued from Sky Wolf Stronghold had been sealed and hidden in the trucks at the rear. The black-clothed youth who had not left was dressed as a restaurant apprentice..

After all this, the leader of the caravan came to Chu Boping to report back. He was dressed as a businessman and was Xu Xin, the manager of Qingqiu City's Shanhai Restaurant. He was also Lu Zhengliang's grand-disciple..

"Young Master, everything has been arranged. We can set off at any time..

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Xu, let's go!" Following Chu Boping's order, the team marched toward Qingqiu City like an ordinary caravan..

With the Sea Shark Gang's escort, no one would touch this jinx even if they were discovered by outlaw spies along the way..

Nothing happened all the way. The team arrived at the gate of Qingqiu City. A team of soldiers checked in front of the gate..

Qingqiu City Lord did not care about the affairs of the world. At the beginning of its construction, the city was extremely chaotic. Several large sects in the city had no choice but to form a loose alliance. They transferred people to form the City Guard, which was responsible for taking care of the affairs of the city..

The internal management of the city guards was also very lax, and all matters were extremely perfunctory. They were not as disciplined as the guards of other cities..

The armor and helmets of the city guards at the city gate were all crooked and different in style, just like the bandits who had handed over the real armor..

A young man who looked like a leader came forward to stop the caravan. He had an arrogant look on his face. His clothes were slightly normal and looked like a soldier..

But when he saw the flag of Sea Shark Gang, his expression changed and his attitude immediately softened..

" It's a brother of the Sea Shark Gang. May I ask which caravan this is?" Shopkeeper Xu lifted the curtain of the carriage and smiled gently at the young man..

"Little brother, we are from Shanhai Lou. Please let us go..

The young man's eyes lit up when he saw Shopkeeper Xu, obviously knowing each other..

" So it's Shopkeeper Xu. I frequent Shanhai Restaurant. Brothers, quickly let me through!" The young man's attitude became a little fawning and he immediately ordered his subordinates to let me through..

"This little brother is really straightforward. Next time, bring your brothers to Shanhai Restaurant to look for me. I'll be the host and treat everyone to drinks and meat..

The manager sighed in relief and opened his mouth..

" Shopkeeper Xu, I will definitely go! I will definitely go!" The young man smiled happily at this moment. When the other soldiers heard this, they also secretly swallowed their saliva..

Watching the convoy leave, the young man proudly looked at his companions..

" Look, there's something good about being on duty with me, right? F * ck, wouldn't it be a good job if Shanhai Tower bought goods every day?" The young man was a little carried away by the compliments from his subordinates..

Chu Boping and his party arrived at Shanhai Tower smoothly. The staff moved the goods with people and ordinary goods into the building together. Manager Xu arranged for his cronies to secretly transfer these people to a dark cabinet. Chu Boping signaled Ma Xiaohai to lead the crowd to leave. Ma Xiaohai and the others immediately left..

Shanhai Restaurant was a restaurant that opened five years ago in Qingqiu City. It was a three-story building. The kitchen hall on the first floor, the private rooms on the second floor, and the third floor were where the cooks and waiters lived..

Not long after the restaurant opened, it attracted a large number of customers with delicious dishes. Because the prices were very favorable, ordinary people were willing to come here for dental sacrifices. Even rich businessmen and disciples of big sects often appeared in the private rooms of the restaurant..

:.

After a few years, Shanhai Restaurant has become one of the most popular restaurants in Qingqiu City..

On the surface, Shanhai Restaurant was a thriving ordinary restaurant, but secretly, it was Chu Boping's stronghold in Qingqiu City..

Lu Zhengliang's disciples were sent to various places in the Central Plains to build restaurants. With their excellent cooking skills and Chu Boping's financial support, the restaurants had basically covered the main cities of the Nine Continents of the Central Plains..

But the intelligence network Chu Boping wanted to establish still needed a long time to operate. However, the restaurants in the big cities of Youzhou were relatively mature and could provide Chu Boping with endless information and manpower..

The restaurant adopted some children and orphans in the name of recruiting apprentices. After screening, the children with qualified talents and human nature would be secretly sent to the Immortal Burial Mountain Range. The other children would really stay in the restaurant as apprentices..

That's part of the story of Chu Boping's boys..

The four teams that entered the city also arrived at Mountain Sea Tower one after another. A group of young girls and Chu Boping entered a hidden room in the restaurant together..

The children stood in orderly rows, quietly waiting for Chu Boping to lecture them..

" This Heavenly Wolf Stronghold mission has been determined to be a failure!" Chu Boping's face was serious. He did not look as proud as he did in the Righteous Gathering Hall. The youths drooped their heads like frozen eggplants..

" You have made several fatal mistakes this time!" Li Fengnian, as the commander of this operation, you have gathered wrong information. You didn't even know the enemy's highest combat strength. If it weren't for the two uncles, how many of you would have left Sky Wolf Stronghold alive?".

"Young Master, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this failure. I am willing to accept the punishment..

"Li Fengnian stepped forward, held his chest with one hand, and bowed deeply..

" Alright, listen to me first. There will be plenty of punishment. We'll talk about it when we get back to the valley!" Chu Boping gestured for Li Fengnian to return to the team..

"Seven teams of twenty-eight people were dispatched for this operation. Excluding the leader of the Heavenly Wolf Gang, a total of 162 bandits were killed. Five people were missed and almost escaped. Uncle Wu and Uncle Lu intercepted them..

"This is the second mistake!""Team C actually covered their eyes when they assassinated the number two character of Heavenly Wolf Stronghold because she was a woman. They were simply courting death. If Yang Mei had not saved them with the City-breaking Crossbow, the other three would have been dead by now.".

"This is the third mistake!""Don't think that these are all small mistakes. A mistake on the real battlefield is enough to kill you. At that time, there will be no senior experts to protect you. If there is no senior to help today, at least half of you will stay in that mountain stronghold forever.".

"After you go back, reflect on yourself carefully and cultivate quickly. There will be no seniors to take action in the next mission. Life and death are up to fate. If you don't want to die, you should be more energetic.".

"Yes!" the boys saluted, and they all said in unison..

" Stay here and repair. We'll set off at midnight and go home!" Upon receiving the order, the teenagers sat down and rested in place..

Chu Boping walked out of the secret room with Wu and Lu.

" Young Master, are you being too strict with these children?" Lu Zhengliang asked slowly..

" It's for their own good. I'm telling the truth. The enemy won't show mercy just because they're children. Uncle Lu, help prepare something delicious for these kids later. Don't tell them that I gave them the order!" Chu Boping put away his serious expression and said gently to Lu Zhengliang..

"Young Master, why are you doing this?.

"Someone has to be the villain..

At this time, a man who looked like a waiter rushed over and gave Chu Boping a note. Chu Boping opened the note and looked at it. His eyes narrowed and he frowned..

" Uncle Wu, Uncle Lu, the Absolute Beginning Dynasty has changed its ruler. Various intelligence reports indicate that Li Boqian may have killed his father and younger brother to ascend the throne. Because of this, the Absolute Beginning Court may even become enemies with the Galaxy Sect..

"Intelligence shows that this Li Boqian is moody, duplicitous, insidious, conceited, cruel and lecherous. When this kind of person becomes Taichu Emperor, there may not be peace after Taichu Dynasty.".

"Zhong An is now in Galaxy Sect, so we have to make plans early, lest the situation change and may be affected.".

Chu Boping immediately used his fingers to crush the note into powder..

Late at night, Chu Boping and his party left Qingqiu City on a wooden kite..

More than ten people rescued were also transferred to the immortal burial mountain range by the restaurant..
