Several days later.
A carriage arrived at the entrance of the Black Bamboo Manor.
"Boss, we've arrived at the villa." The coachman stopped the carriage and opened the curtain.
A middle-aged man wearing a luxurious silk robe stepped out of the carriage. It was the wealthiest man in the capital, Zhang Dajing.
Ever since Zhang Dajing stood up again, he looked much younger. His complexion was more than twice as good as before, and he was more energetic. He was also more proficient in managing his business.
Part of the reason was that Zhang Dajing was no longer disabled and was in a good mood. The other reason was that the effect of Luo Ma's body had given Zhang Dajing more vitality.
This time, Zhang Dajing had come to the Black Bamboo Manor to complete the task assigned by Chu Xiao.
A moment later, in the meeting hall.
Chu Xiao sat at the head of the table, dressed in a black robe. His eyes were lowered, as if he was resting with his eyes closed.
Zhang Dajing walked into the meeting hall.
"Gang Leader." Zhang Dajing said respectfully.
Chu Xiao raised his eyes and asked indifferently,""What is it?"
"Reporting to Sect Master, a few days ago you asked me to sell my blackstone business. In the past few days, I've sold all of it, and a total of ten million taels of gold has been realized.”Zhang Dajing said.
Ten million taels of gold was a huge sum of money no matter where it was placed. It was even enough to support a small-scale war.
This was the foundation of Black Rock over the past few decades. Cakravarti King had built it up bit by bit from nothing.
It was only because Black Rock and East Hall worked together that they could earn money from the business of buying and selling officials. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to accumulate so much gold.
Unfortunately, in the end, it was all for Chu Xiao.
"Sect Master, the ten million gold taels have been packed and can be shipped out at any time.”Zhang Dajing added.
Chu Xiao nodded slightly and praised him." Well done. Next, we should transport the gold out of Luoyang as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."”
"This subordinate understands." Zhang Dajing replied respectfully.
Chu Xiao immediately looked outside the meeting hall and said,""Men, call the artist to see me.”
"Yes, sir!"
The assassin in black outside the door responded.
Not long after, Cai Xi walked into the meeting hall and came before Chu Xiao. She flung her robe and said,""Faction Leader, what can I do for you?"
Chu Xiao pointed at Zhang Dajing and said,""Lian Sheng, select a group of elite assassins and escort Boss Zhang out of the capital.”
"Brother Lian, this time I've brought along the ten million gold taels I obtained from selling my blackstone business. I'll leave the safety of this journey to you.”Zhang Dajing also said to Cai Shishi.
With the experience of receiving treatment together, Zhang Dajing and Cai Xishi had long become good friends and called each other brothers.
"Please rest assured, Sect Leader. I will ensure the safety of Boss Zhang and the gold.”Cai Xi said respectfully to Chu Xiao.
He turned to look at Zhang Dajing and said in a much more relaxed tone, stroking his beard and smiling,""Boss Zhang, you can rest assured with me around.”
Chu Xiao waved his hand at the two of them and said,""We can't afford to lose this money. Go and prepare now. Don't delay. The earlier you leave, the better.”
"Understood!"
Cai Xishi and Zhang Dajing agreed at the same time and then slowly left the meeting hall.
Chu Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip of warm tea.
This ten million gold taels was very important to the blackstone. If anything were to happen, the blackstone's operation would probably be affected for a very long time.
Therefore, Chu Xiao had entrusted the escort task to Cai Xi.
Cai Xi Shi had healed her old wounds and sores. With the help of Rama's body, her strength had been steadily increasing. She was advancing toward the Grandmaster Realm every day.
Now, the strength of the color performer was infinitely close to that of a grandmaster.
What he lacked was comprehension.
At this time, it would be a waste of time for Cai Xishi to stay in the capital. It was better to let her escort Zhang Dajing to another place. If he changed his environment, he might be able to find an opportunity to break through to the Grandmaster Realm.
If that was the case, he would be able to leap over the dragon gate and become one of the top experts.
"Men."
After Chu Xiao finished his tea, he called in a killer in black and ordered,""Call Fatty Chen over."
"Yes, sir!" The killer left.
An hour later.
Fatty Chen panted heavily as he came to the meeting hall.
He had received a message from the killer at the Tong He Bank. Once he heard that Chu Xiao wanted to see him, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He immediately came over in a sedan chair and hurriedly came to see Chu Xiao.
At the head of the table, Chu Xiao glanced at Fatty Chen and said,"
"Fatty Chen, don't just stand there. Sit down and rest.”
"Thank you, Faction Leader."
Fatty Chen sat down on the chair and asked,""What is Sect Master's command?”
"I plan to meet Cao Zhengchun. Go to the East Hall and send the invitation card.”Chu Xiao said and threw out a visiting card.
Under the effect of internal strength, the visiting card landed steadily in front of Fatty Chen.
Fatty Chen took the card and stuffed it into his pocket. He said,""This subordinate will do as you say. I will do it now."
Fatty Chen was loyal to Chu Xiao, and he would do his best to do what the latter instructed him to do. He didn't rest at the moment, and directly got up and left the meeting hall.
……
Inside Luoyang.
East of the factory.
"Supervisor, Black Rock sent someone to send a visiting card. Please take a look.”
Cao Shaoqin held the greeting card and walked in front of Cao Zhengchun.
"Bring it up and let me take a look." Cao Zhengchun was interested.
Cao Shaoqin quickly presented the visiting card with both hands.
Cao Zhengchun took the invitation card and opened it. He immediately laughed and said,""So it's Divine Lord Five Poisons who invited us to meet at the White Cloud Inn tonight for a secret discussion.”
"Supervisor, what do you mean?" Cao Shaoqin said.
Cao Zhengchun raised his fingers and said,""Since you've already sent the invitation, there's no harm in making a trip to the White Cloud Inn. I'd like to see what Sir God Five Poisons wants to talk about.”
"Yes, this subordinate will go and prepare it now." Cao Shaoqin cupped his hands and said.
……
Night, noon.
Seeing that it was about time, Chu Xiao put on a black robe and walked out of the bedroom.
"Gang Leader!" The killer guarding the door shouted.
Chu Xiao nodded.
At this moment, there was already a team of elite assassins waiting in the courtyard. They were all dressed in black and covered with a face cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with killing intent. This was the standard attire of the Blackstone Assassins.
Fatty Chen stood at the front. He had also changed his clothes. He was no longer dressed like a rich boss. Instead, he wore a suit that made it easier for him to move around. A long sword hung at his waist.
"Sect Master, everyone is ready. We can set off at any time.”Fatty Chen said respectfully.
"Alright."
Chu Xiao said as he walked out of the courtyard.
Fatty Chen and the group of killers followed closely behind Chu Xiao.
At this moment, a wall not far away suddenly changed. The surface of the wall distorted, and then a figure suddenly ran out.
This scene shocked all the assassins, including Fatty Chen.
When he saw the figure's face clearly, Fatty Chen immediately snorted." Thousand-faced Playboy, can't you be like a normal person? What's the point of hiding all day?”
Thousand-faced Playboy Zhu Yeqing laughed." Interesting, very interesting."”
Ever since he got the Gecko Five-Color Technique, Thousand-faced Playboy Zhu Yeqing had been obsessed with this strange martial art and had been studying and cultivating it day and night.
With the foundation of the Disguising Technique, Thousand-faced Playboy's foundation was very solid. In addition, it was very compatible with the Gecko Five-Color Technique, as if it was tailor-made for him.
Thus, Thousand-faced Playboy improved at a rapid pace.
After a period of time, he had already cultivated to the realm of perfection.
Thousand-faced Playboy often used it in all kinds of places, blending in with the environment. After disguising himself, it was difficult for people to detect him, giving many people a fright.
As he spoke, the Thousand-faced Playboy Zhu Yeqing's body changed again. His appearance and figure quickly adjusted.
When he walked to Chu Xiao's side, the Thousand-faced Playboy had already changed his face into a burly man with a square face.
He stood behind Chu Xiao, looking like a guard.
"Gang Leader." The Thousand-faced Playboy, Zhu Yeqing, saluted.
Chu Xiao nodded slightly.
At this moment, Thousand-faced Playboy was already a first-class expert. This was all thanks to the Small Phaseless Pill given by Chu Xiao, which greatly increased his strength and steadily stepped into the realm of a first-class expert.
Of course, Thousand-faced Playboy was not the only one who benefited.
Ye Zhanqing, Fatty Chen, and Lei Bin all benefited greatly.
Ye Zhanqing had broken through to the second-rate realm with the help of the Minor Phaseless Pill.
Fatty Chen and Lei Bin had also gained a lot of qi, saving them years of hard work.
"Thousand-faced Playboy, you came at the right time. Follow me to the White Cloud Inn.”Chu Xiao said.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Yeqing agreed.
Chu Xiao immediately led the people behind him and got into the carriage. They left the Black Bamboo Manor and headed straight for the White Cloud Inn.
……
Luoyang City.
White Cloud Inn.
This inn was very famous in Luoyang City because most of the people who were received here were martial artists.
Almost all the Jianghu people who traveled to Luoyang knew about the White Cloud Inn.
"Phew!"
A carriage stopped at the entrance of the White Cloud Inn.
Fatty Chen lifted the curtain and said,"Sect Master, we've arrived at the White Cloud Inn."”
Chu Xiao nodded and got off the carriage in a black robe.
Behind him, Fatty Chen, Zhu Yeqing, and a group of killers stood solemnly.
Chu Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the horizontal board of the White Cloud Inn. Then, he stepped inside.
His subordinates followed him in.
With Chu Xiao's arrival, the originally noisy hall, which was filled with the sound of drinking and playing, instantly quieted down.
These Jianghu people were not blind. They might not know Chu Xiao, but they recognized the assassins in black behind him.
How could ordinary martial artists dare to provoke the Blackstone Organization?
A pin drop could be heard in the hall.
All of the Jianghu heroes became mute. They lowered their heads and did not move, afraid of attracting the attention of Black Rock and the others.
Chu Xiao's gaze swept over these people and saw that they were all unranked characters. There were no experts worthy of attention.
He lost interest and went straight to the second floor.
"Milord, please follow me. The private room has already been prepared.”At this moment, the waiter came over and eagerly led the way.
Fatty Chen and the others followed Chu Xiao to the second floor.
Everyone in the hall heaved a sigh of relief.
However, before they could completely relax, they heard the sound of footsteps outside the inn again.
Immediately, a group of guards with long sabers on their waists rushed in. The two people in the lead were wearing python robes and gauze crowns.
One of them had a head full of white hair and was about fifty years old. He was the supervisor of the East Chamber, Cao Zhengchun.
The other person with gray sideburns and an evil aura was Cao Shaoqin, the Second Officer of the East Military Hall.
Seeing this group of people, the hall fell silent again.
After all, they couldn't afford to offend Black Rock or the East Hall.
Even a flower, an evaluation ticket, or a monthly ticket would do.
