Chapter 328
Because Lin Xiu was still with her parents in her hometown in Dongkou New City and did not come back, and Liu Heng had moved to the uninhabited island, the double room they originally lived in was empty. Gao Shang directly arranged for Qi Laosan and Qi Xue to sleep there for a good night, thinking that tomorrow's journey would be restored.
However, Qi Laosan and Qi Xue had just left Gao Shang's office. Less than two minutes apart, Lu Tao knocked on the door of his office again and shouted excitedly: "Master, are you not asleep yet?"
Gao Shang was already excited. He had just made boiled water and brewed a pot of tea himself, intending to study the new magic circle left by Liu Heng for himself all night. When he heard Lu Tao's excited voice, he couldn't help but feel a little happy and opened the door and invited Lu Tao in to have tea together.
"Why, what's the matter with me if I don't sleep so late?"
Looking at Lu Tao's eager expression, even the hand holding the teacup was a little uneasy. Gao Shang couldn't help but feel a little confused and asked Lu Tao's purpose straight to the point.
Lu Tao grinned embarrassedly, scratched his head and said directly, "Master, when I was passing by, I heard you say you were going to Yunyang again to do business. This time, my senior brother is no longer here, you have to bring me as a bodyguard!"
When Gao Shang heard this, he understood what Lu Tao meant. It seemed that this militant had never been active for so many days. When he heard that he finally had a task to do, he felt excited and wanted to follow him together.
Although Gao Shang also hopes to train his apprentice well and train him to be a handsome man who stands alone. However, he will never take Lu Tao with him during this trip to Yunyang.
Although Lu Tao is among the mortals, he is a first-class expert with outstanding martial arts and rich assassination skills, he really seems too weak in front of the thugs in the Demon World who eat raw meat and drink blood and kill people.
From Feng Hun's cruel and vicious style of behavior, we can see that after thousands of years of baptism, the cruel and ruthless nature of people in the Demon World has not changed at all. The last time Da Guang was slashed in his hand by Feng Hun with a black lightning, almost losing his life. It is still vivid in my mind until now and I am very afraid of it.
He admired Lu Tao, his apprentice, and he really planned to entrust him with important tasks in the future and entrust him to be the commander of the earth's army. But because of this, Gao Shang could not let Lu Tao take risks with him.
Of course, he doesn't need to say much. With the protection of two seniors, Longhao and Wuming, he can escape even if he encounters great danger. Qi Xue is protected by the Lihuang Master of Nanwu Mountain, and has mastered a considerable degree of Rakshasa karma fire, and he has some ability to protect himself.
Qi Laosan is already very old, has experienced glory and wealth throughout his life, and has experienced all kinds of sufferings in the world. He has long put life and death aside. And Gao Shang also believes that no matter how bored these people in the demon world are, they will not be able to kill such an old man.
But Lu Tao is different. Although he has good sword skills, he has not been exposed to any cultivation matters and is vulnerable to the demons like Fenghun. Moreover, because he is his disciple, he is likely to cause trouble. He attracts special "care" from those demons. Not only will he not be able to provide him with help, but he will become a burden.
At that moment, Gao Shang shook his head decisively, and refused firmly, saying, "No, this mission is very dangerous, you can't follow along."
Lu Tao was slightly stunned, then said dissatisfied: "Master, I am your bodyguard. Since it is a dangerous thing, I should go with you even more. Even if I can't help at that time, at least I can block a bullet for you..."
However, before he could finish his words, Gao Shang had already greeted the boss's head directly, raised his eyebrows and cursed, "You guys are such a bastard, I have spent so much effort to accept you as an apprentice, just to let you use it as a bullet shield for me?"
"I don't care, you have to take me there!" Seeing that Huairou's policy failed, Lu Tao simply slapped his mouth and acted like a scoundrel, "If you don't take me there, I won't leave today!"
Gao Shang's mouth twitched slightly, and ten thousand words of "Mom's selling criticism" flew across his heart instantly. Why did Lu Tao follow him for a while and have such a big change?
Although Lu Tao is his apprentice, he is a little bigger than Gao Shang when it comes to age. Moreover, when he first met, Gao Shang clearly remembered that Lu Tao had a cold face and a murderous aura all over his body. He was definitely a cold-faced killer who would kill people without blinking.
But after just a few days of being with me, Lu Tao seemed to have changed his body and became funny like a child. Although he was noble and satisfied with this change, he still couldn't accept this huge change for a while.
As the saying goes, those who are close to vermilion are red, while those who are close to ink are black. A cold-faced killer with extremely paralysis and cannot even laugh even when he is with him for a few days, he has learned to act coquettishly and act like a scoundrel. Doesn’t this mean that he is like this?
Well... it's all Liu Heng's fault. It's all because Liu Heng has been together too closely with Lu Tao these days, which has caused his funny aura to be transmitted to Lu Tao. This must be the case.
At that moment, looking at Lu Tao's childlike appearance, Gao Shang couldn't help but smile helplessly, but a thought suddenly flashed in his mind. He directly reached out to put his hand on Lu Tao's shoulder, and said with a mysterious smile: "Advisor, I won't let you go, there is something more important to tell you to do."
Lu Tao was slightly stunned, his eyes full of doubts. After so many days of getting along with each other, Lu Tao had already gained the temper of his master - every time Gao Shang smiled like this, he must have not held up any good water.
At that moment, Gao Shang directly put his mouth mysteriously to Lu Tao's ear and whispered softly for a while, but it gradually turned Lu Tao's face from the initial dissatisfaction to the deep astonishment.
When Gao Shang finished speaking and looked at Lu Tao with anticipation, Lu Tao's face was no longer covered in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Master, you...what do you want to recruit so many killers?"
Gao Shang gave Lu Tao the "mission" to give Lu Tao a reward to recruit the "old comrades" he had dealt with in the killer organization before, and he spared no expense to recruit these killers for his own use.
And the reason why he did this was another intention.
If you want to fight the demon world, it is far from working with the cultivators and technology from the source world alone. They have already proved this point thousands of years ago and have learned deeply the heavy lessons.
All resources and power that can be utilized must be reasonably used to maximize the chances of winning in battles. This is the principle that will never change in military tactics. As the saying goes, the iron-killed army is a warrior.
With noble current ability, it is obviously not realistic to mobilize the country's army and armed forces. Although the gangsters and thugs on the midsummer can obey their own orders, their quality and strength are uneven, and they are not directly affiliated with them.
At that moment, Gao Shang suddenly had a whim in his mind, wanting to form a unit that was completely obedient to him and loyal to him.
This army does not require a large number of people, but must maintain the principle of preferring nothingness rather than being too bad. Each member of it must be extremely literate. Not only do they need to have superb skills, but they must also be completely loyal to themselves. They also have the ability to adapt to some emergencies and stand on their own, so that they can pass the test.
The task of this group of troops is to train hard every day and recruit talents. The more they train the troops, the stronger they grow, so that the strength of each member can reach a peak level. Raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while. His noble intuition tells him that one day, this army will definitely be able to play a miraculous effect on the battlefield.
The first source of this group of people, Gao Shangshu, was the mysterious Dark Flower Killer Organization.
Although the country's special forces are powerful, they are obviously not so easy to dig, and if you are not careful, you may get into trouble. And the people of Midsummer Gao Shang have no idea. First, Gao Shang doesn't look down on those social thugs, and second, it's a bit immoral to dig up the corners of Midsummer.
Gao Shang has seen the strength of the killer in that killer organization. Killers of Lu Tao can only rank about a few hundred. Then the top 50, top 20, and even top 10 are definitely first-class experts with strength comparable to special forces. If you can poach a few of these people to be members or instructors, it is definitely the fastest way to make the army's strength improve rapidly.
However, there is no connection between Gao Shang and the Killer Organization except for employment and cooperation. Feng Hun said before that he belonged to the Killer Organization, but Gao Shang obviously could not commit himself to ask his enemies for help. Since this is the case, the only one who can help with the bridge and set up a line is Lu Tao.
Fortunately, when Lu Tao was in the killer organization, he was very popular. He really had a few friends who were good at playing, and his skills almost met noble requirements. At that moment, Lu Tao narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded heavily, grinned and agreed, "Don't worry, master, let me leave it!"
After saying that, Lu Tao said goodbye to Gao Shang and ran back to his room, probably to contact his former old comrades. Gao Shang couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart, took a sip of tea indifferently, and felt even more delighted.
