Honkai Impact: Did you meet the First Herrscher when you first arrived? !

In the past two or three months, Qin Baijiang has been looking at his group of subordinates and has become somewhat irritable, or rather, unable to control his temper.

Since leaving Li Island, I have been targeted by that dragon and have dragon blood on my body.

Although he has become much stronger, his temper has also become more irritable.

To ensure he wouldn't harm his wife and children, he didn't take them with him when he left Li Island, nor did he dare to.

None of those who leave Li Island have a good ending; they are either cursed by the dragon and turned to ashes, or they are afflicted with the dragon's blood, unable to live or die.

His consciousness was tainted by the blood of the dragon, making him violent and tyrannical. Although he became the leader of the Crimson Dragon Gang, even the government troops dared not give him a good look. His brothers provided him with good wine and meat and gave him countless treasures as tribute. Many surrounding counties were cautious, afraid of provoking him.

But only he himself knew that only wealth and his wife and children could stir his emotions.

"Reporting to the chief, Poyang County, Pixian County, and Xunxian County have recently stopped paying tribute because of that [Li Huo Sword]. They have a lot of nerve, and those Japanese pirates don't even take us seriously."

The younger brother looked panicked, his eyes fierce and sinister. Clearly, these three counties had cut off his interests.

Upon hearing this, Qin Baijiang, who had been sitting quietly in the hall, suddenly glared, a red light hidden in his eyes, causing everyone in the Gathering Hall to feel uneasy, even the second and third leaders, whose skills were no less than those of second-rate martial arts masters.

At this moment, he felt a chill run down his spine. The second-in-command was holding some innocent girl in his arms. Now, in the second-in-command's arms, her pupils were dull, her eyes were unfocused, and her hair was disheveled, making her look like a puppet on strings.

This second-in-command was originally a boatman who operated boats on the rivers and lakes. However, he learned some skills from the Salt Sea Gang in Yangzhou. Later, he pretended to be a waterborne tyrant on the river, swindling and cheating people everywhere. Unexpectedly, he actually managed to find some secret manuals and mastered excellent light-body skills. He was good at using water and admired the White Stripe in the Waves. So he changed his name to Huang Shun. Although he looked fair and clean like a scholar, his face was a bit green and cold. You could tell from his appearance that he had ruined his health with wine and women. Going from the river to the sea was like leaping over the Dragon Gate. In particular, his kung fu had improved a bit and he couldn't stop. It wasn't until he met Qin Baijiang, a seemingly honest man, that he became honest. But over the years, he has been the second-in-command of the Red Dragon Gang, and he is very powerful.

Although he was momentarily stunned by Qin Baijiang's gaze, Huang Shun still smiled and tried to smooth things over, feigning anger, "That Li Huojian is really clueless. We didn't even ask for the valuables from his big and small water fortresses, but he's doing the same thing, even demanding these three counties. Does he think he's more useful than these government troops?"

"That's right, Second Brother is right!" The Third Brother was still eating a piece of pig's head meat with his mouth full, but he naturally had to agree with his Second Brother.

After all, his second brother had never made many mistakes, so listening to him was always the right thing to do.

The third leader looked slightly dim-witted, with a round head and fan-shaped ears. However, his several pounds of flesh on his body looked quite frightening, especially since he was very strong and powerful, with thick, bluish-gray skin like fish skin.

Originally, the third leader was a down-on-his-luck man from the riverside named Lu Wei, but he was born with superhuman strength. Because he was starving, he smashed the banquet for a concubine's wedding in the county government office, and even a dozen constables could not stop him.

Later, they met Huang Shun by the river. Huang Shun, like a turtle eyeing a green bean, took a liking to him and thought the boy was not bad, so he kept him by his side.

Later, he learned a martial art that made his body as smooth and thick as fish scales. However, after joining Qin Baijiang's tutelage, he seemed even more foolish, spending his days only eating.

This left Huang Shun speechless, so he had Lu Wei change his name to Lu Wei, since it was too frightening.

Lu Wei had no idea about any of this. Anyway, after following Qin Baijiang, he always listened to Huang Shun's arrangements.

Qin Baijiang was truly a formidable fighter, beating Lu Wei so badly that he cried out in pain. Even his innate superhuman strength was useless. Huang Shun, seeing that Lu Wei was no match for him, immediately bowed down in submission.

However, Huang Shun would use any underhanded tricks. Especially since he had been a boatman for many years and knew a lot about the mountain strongholds, it could be said that the Red Dragon Gang's huge influence was mostly Huang Shun's doing.

Of all the crimes, Huang Shun was responsible for half: burning, killing, and looting.

"Since that's the case, then you take your men and go resolve it. Be careful, though, that's a highly skilled disciple from Mount Taixu." Qin Baijiang wasn't stupid. He had been accumulating wealth mainly for his wife and children, especially after hearing that his wife had died on Li Island because she couldn't withstand the pressure of the dragon, leaving his daughter all alone. This made him invest even more money in Li Island.

I only hope that the neighbors on Rijima Island will take good care of their daughters for the sake of the money.

It's a pity he can't return to Li Island, otherwise he would have already led his men to storm it.

Huang Shun readily agreed. Initially, because of their rapid advance and their connections with the surrounding mountain strongholds, they did not breach the city walls. Instead, they adopted a strategy of keeping those people under control and forcing them to pay tribute.

Indeed, the power of the Blazing Fire Sword was immense; even with government troops on board, the commander was so easily annihilated.

It is said that no one survived; their methods were ruthless. It seems I need to plan carefully.

Huang Shun stroked his clean-shaven beard, his beard gleaming with a shrewd light in his beard.

At this time, it was Li Ming who connected those three counties. However, Li Ming did not say that he was setting up a security escort agency, because he had experience in the world of Durandal.

They also knew that good transportation was the fastest and most effective way for these post stations and escort agencies to make progress.

So Li Ming, just like Shakespeare back then, took out his bicycle.

Then Li Ming looked at Yan Chengying and Zhao Lianping, those two idiots, one holding a greatsword in one hand and a bicycle in the other, and the other holding a spear in one hand and the handlebars in the other.

Two wooden bicycles collided and instantly shattered into pieces.

This made Li Ming cover his face, especially since that silly kid Zhao Lianping said that it was not as easy to ride as a horse and that he had to pedal it himself.

Just kidding, if you don't pedal it yourself, what kind of bicycle is that? You might as well just call it a two-wheeled vehicle!

Yan Chengying, on the other hand, was quite knowledgeable. He spent a week teaching everyone how to use a bicycle.

Li Ming then led Zhao Lianping to dig several treasure-burying sites. With a few bricks and some jewels, they acquired storefronts and travel permits in three county towns. Soon, a security escort agency called Li's Escort Agency was established in the various counties and continued to expand its influence.

After all, Li Ming had driven away the Red Dragon Gang, and in the East China Sea, he could be considered a ruthless man.

Li Ming had no idea that he had been targeted after only half a month of work. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have wasted so much time.
