Chapter 178: Desire to Become 9 Gates
"Zhang Qishan!"
"Li San!"
"Hei Liu! Meet Boss Chen!"
Although the three of them were young, they were quite polite.
"Give the three brothers a seat!"
Chen Yulou did not look down on the three people just because they had no name. The fact that Lu Li let them in showed that there was something about these three people that Lu Li valued.
Chen Yulou had a very sharp eye. He knew at a glance that these three were people who would not be inferior to others and would seize the opportunity as soon as it came.
"I don't know why the three brothers are looking for Chen."
Zhang Qishan spoke first: "Boss Chen, we brothers are new here and would like to ask for a bowl of rice from you!"
Chen Yulou wanted to accept them in his heart. He liked capable men the most.
These three people were obviously capable, but he didn't know what Lu Li was thinking.
So he turned his head to look at Lu Li.
Zhang Qishan and the other two saw that Chen Yulou didn't say anything but was looking at a young man in Taoist robes next to him.
I also looked over curiously, wondering who this Taoist priest was.
In fact, Lu Li was also considering how to arrange them.
Lu Li made friends with Chen Yulou in the beginning because Xiangling had many brothers and he had his own unique advantages in gathering information.
As long as there is information related to tombs in the area south of the Yellow River, it will not escape their eyes and ears.
Therefore, the Nine Gates in the later period were naturally dispensable to him.
Even the Nine Gates at the peak of the story are far inferior to the current Xi Ling.
After all, with Lu Li's help, Xi Ling's backbone members were not lost in Pingshan.
In the past two years, the battles with surrounding warlords have been fierce.
Take the provincial capital for example. When people talk about the Chen family of Xiangling, they all give them a thumbs up. Everyone still remembers the kindness they showed them last time when they provided medical treatment and gave them free medicine.
What's more, the Chen family often provided porridge to help the people.
But Lu Li attached great importance to the abilities of these people. Lu Li also asked Chen Yulou and found out that the Xie family and the Huo family were also famous families in the antique industry.
"This is Taoist Priest Lu, have you ever heard of him?"
Seeing Lu Li in deep thought, Chen Yulou introduced him.
"So it's Master Lu from Maoshan. Of course I've heard of him and seen him."
The three of them looked at Lu Li with respect. In the capital of Xiangxi Province, everyone knew the reputation of Master Lu.
You have to know that it was only a few years since the last free clinic. The scene of the whole city seeing them off was something that even Zhang Qishan, who had just arrived here not long ago, often heard people talk about in restaurants and teahouses.
At this time, Lu Li thought of a good idea to arrange them. How it would develop depends on them.
"Boss, do you remember what I said to you back then?"
"What did you say? You said so much, how can I remember it all!"
Chen Yulou looked at Lu Li with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
Lu Li almost threw the tea bowl on the table over to him. The longer he interacted with him, the more he realized that this guy was a joke.
But that's just his personality, what can you do?
"It's what we talked about in the backyard pavilion at night a few years ago!"
Lu Li reminded them that they couldn't say in front of Zhang Qishen and the other two that they were asked to lift up a few families to use as shields.
Chen Yulou's eyes lit up and he suddenly thought of the meaning behind Lu Li's words.
After Lu Li left, he actually did some research and found that for now, only the Huo family in Xiangxi and the Jie family were barely qualified.
The others are all tomb raiders' partners, doing odd jobs for others when they are paid.
They don't even have the ability to catch a lama, but the two families are too small to attract attention.
Now that Lu Li mentioned it, he finally reacted.
Although these three people don't have much background, they look capable.
Wouldn't it be enough if the three of them could reconcile with the Huo family and form an organization?
With them in front to attract attention, Xiang Ling will hide behind the scenes. If the river really changes color, Xiang Ling will not become a target.
Thinking of this, Chen Yulou's eyes rolled and he came up with an idea.
"Well, don't talk about coming to me for a living. Everyone has difficulties. From now on, we are friends.
You guys just have to bear with me for the time being and learn things from me. When you have learned enough, you will be able to go out and pull the poles on your own.
It is up to you whether to leave or stay, just remember my kindness when you leave."
Seeing that Chen Yulou agreed and did not restrict himself.
The three of them were very grateful and had a better impression of Chen Yulou from Xiangling.
"Thank you, Boss Chen. From now on, the three of us will be at your disposal."
Zhang Qishan said solemnly.
However, Lu Li knew that Zhang Qishan came to Xiangxi with a purpose.
There seem to be traces of the Zhang family's former homeland here, and there are also meteorite jades.
However, these two things do not conflict with the goals of Chen Yulou and Lu Li.
At worst, I can help him from behind. Lu Li also wants to know what is behind the bronze door.
As for meteorite jade, he had no interest in it at all. Although that thing could make people live longer, it had too many side effects.
In Lu Li's opinion, it was the result of being parasitized by alien creatures.
After talking for a while, Chen Yulou asked Hua Maguai to make arrangements for the three of them.
After Zhang Qishan and the other two left.
Chen Yulou then asked Lu Li, "Do you want them to share the warlords' attention with Xi Ling?"
Lu Li nodded and acknowledged it.
“In a few years, the situation in Shenzhou will change drastically. By then, you will have both the people and the money you need, and others will definitely not let you go.
So it’s just in time that Zhang Qishen and the others come. You can lift them up when the time comes, and then slowly lower their profile.
It’s also a way out.”
Although Chen Yulou didn't know why Lu Li insisted on keeping a low profile, he believed in Lu Li's vision.
At least until now Lu Li has never made a mistake.
"Can they do it when they are so young?"
They can't do it? If they can't do it, then no one can do it. None of these people from the Nine Gates have simple backgrounds.
"Don't worry, you will find out slowly. In two years at most, these three people will surprise you."
There were many things that Lu Li couldn't tell Chen Yulou directly. Being able to tell him about those things in Fuso had already changed his fate.
Knowing too much would not do Chen Yulou any good.
However, Zhang Qishen and his two companions were arranged by Hua Maguai to join a team in Xiangling. According to Chen Yulou's instructions, Zhang Qishen was the team leader, and Li San and Hei Liu were his deputies.
This is already a very high position and the three of them are very satisfied.
After Hua Ma was kidnapped, Li San asked Zhang Qishan, "This boss Chen is really a very particular person. He deserves to be able to develop Xiling to such a large scale."
Zhang Qishan had been frowning, because he noticed that Taoist Lu was looking at him strangely since he entered the room.
Although he could feel that Lu Li had no ill intentions and was just simply curious.
But this made him feel uneasy as he was sensitive about his identity.
I don't think he knows something. I must try it out if I get a chance.
Then he remembered Li San's question, "Mr. Chen certainly has a unique vision, but I feel that Taoist Lu is not simple."
"Master Lu?"
Li San thought of the young Taoist priest sitting next to Chen Yulou.
"Well, didn't you notice?
Mr. Chen seemed to listen to Master Lu very much.
Moreover, when we asked those people from Xiangling about Master Lu just now, there was nothing but admiration and respect in their words.
In that situation, even if Taoist Lu asked them to die, they probably wouldn’t say anything.”
Hei Liu has never been interested in these things, but Li San is a smart man.
I also reacted at this time.
"Are you saying that Xiling has long been controlled by Taoist Lu?"
Zhang Qishan shook his head, "It's not about control, but about surrender and dependence. In short, Xiangling has already become dependent on Taoist Lu.
Taoist Master Lu is a Maoshan Taoist. We have all experienced this and know what we will encounter.
Is there anyone more suitable for visiting graves than a Taoist priest? "
Li San nodded.
"We just need to develop slowly with the help of Xialing, and it is not our turn to take care of other things.
And from what they said, it seems that Chief Chen has other plans for us."
Zhang Qishan is worthy of being the future Zhang Dafoye. He analyzed so many things from just a few sentences between Lu Li and Chen Yulou.
