The alliance of the Beijing Gang, after Shi Youwei's betrayal, was a little detached. Coupled with the several divisions and pulls of the white fan, this alliance is already in jeopardy. Moreover, when they looted goods near the outskirts of Beijing on the last few occasions, they lost a lot of manpower, which made them even more panicked. If it hadn't been forcibly suppressed by those leading figures, I am afraid it would have fallen apart at this time.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the weather was very good. Huang Li said that it is advisable to trade, communicate with each other, and open well.

In the early morning of this day, Mo Xichao came to Jing'an Houfu with a food box in his hand.

After joking a few words with Li Le, Mo Xichao put the food box in his hand on the table, with a smile on his face, and said while opening the food box: "The steamed eight-treasure duck in Nancheng Huiyou Building, the live dragon carp in the water, and a plate of spicy spiced meat in sauce, and a boiled edamame in salted water are good dishes. In the past, I always ate and drank with you, but no matter what happens today, I should be here to break the bank. ”

Li Le watched him take out those dishes one by one, and said with a smile: "You have never been so polite before." ”

Mo Xichao said: "Because I used to have a good appetite, I always felt that I could eat anything. Now I suddenly feel that it is not how good my taste is, but that others give me face so that I can eat. People, always have to learn to make friends, multiple friends and multiple roads, can't always be invited to dinner by others, and I don't return once, this is not making friends, this is eating alone. ”

Li Le understood the words hidden in this way, still smiling, picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of spiced meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it, nodded, and was very satisfied with the taste of this dish: "There is nothing wrong with eating alone, as long as your appetite is big enough, I can eat as much as I want, and it depends on what I want to eat, I let him eat as much as he wants, and he can only eat as much as I want." If I don't give it, he won't even be able to drink the soup. ”

Mo Xichao was quite helpless about such a strong conversation, rubbed his eyebrows, sighed, no longer pretended to be profound, and said straight to the point: "How about this matter end like this? Although you have the upper hand now, but those people are not vegetarians, the capital is very important to them, they will not let go easily, if the seven factions and eight gangs are released and completely united, even the emperor will not be able to protect you at that time, let alone a prince who has not yet ascended the throne. ”

Li Le smiled and said, "How good it is to go straight like this, why bother to say those things in the clouds? By the way, how do you know it's me?"

Mo Xichao said: "He Jiu has gone to the Huiyou Building too many times, and every time he goes to the Huiyou Building, there will be new arrangements, and the little Changsui named Han Lu in your house runs too often, keep an eye on it, and you will always find clues." And then there is the little kid named Dongfang Zhuo, if I guessed correctly, it should be the little eunuch in the palace, going back and forth between your mansion, the Huiyou Building and the palace, it is not difficult for people to think that this matter is a conspiracy between you and His Royal Highness the Prince. There is another reason......"

Li Le asked, "Oh, what is the reason?"

Mo Xichao said: "You didn't move the Ma Gang! Other forces either defected to the Xuanyi Society, or were destroyed by the Xuanyi Society or squeezed out of the capital, but the Ma Gang was safe and sound, which is not logical. If you think about it further, it is reasonable, the horse gang belongs to Wanma Tang, and when Uncle Li was alive, he was friendly with the Shendao and Wanma families, and if you don't use the horse gang, it is the proper meaning. Therefore, the latter is not difficult to deduce. ”

Li Le asked, "That's all?"

Mo Xichao shook his head and said, "At first, I thought it was the second son, because a guy under me had seen the second son quietly enter Beijing, but then I heard that the second son appeared in the Ganshan area, so I pushed this inference back." Mr. Big is not well, and in the realm of a great grandmaster, he won't do these things. Since you are not the second son, nor is you the eldest gentleman, and the target is directly aimed at the Jing'an Hou Mansion, then it is only you. ”

Li Le nodded, very satisfied with Mo Xichao's analysis, and said, "The analysis is good, who else knows about this matter?"

Mo Xichao shook his head and said, "So far, it's just me, and one of my brothers, and the others don't know. I told them that I already knew who was behind the scenes, but it was inconvenient to tell them that if they could trust me, I would have a satisfactory outcome in this matter, after all, no one wanted to get into a situation out of control. ”

Li Le said: "So, you can represent them with full authority?"

Mo Xichao hummed and said, "They don't want to die and break the net." ”

Li Leman cut nonchalantly and said, "You can go back and tell them that the fish will die and the net will not break." ”

Mo Xichao was interested, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Li Le said: "You said, if I suddenly appear, appear in the Xuanyi Club, and boldly announce that I am the boss behind the Xuanyi Club, what will those people in the gang think?"

Mo Xichao sighed, already understood what Li Le meant, and said, "They won't believe that it is impossible for a hairy child to make such a big game." ”

Li Le said: "That's right, they won't believe it." Even if someone believes it, they will despise it from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that a child who has not grown all his hair is just relying on the power of the family, and found a master like He Jiu who is not dead, and fights outside, it should be very simple to deal with me, just arrange a person to come and assassinate me, and you can get me. There are also conspiracy theorists who will think that I am just another person who has been pushed to the forefront. And the real mastermind behind it is someone else. Then they will develop their brains and subjectively judge who is the mastermind behind the scenes, some people will think it is my second brother, some people will think it is Zhu Laoba, and some people will think of you, thinking that this is just a good show directed by you, and the main purpose is to swallow their territory in the capital. If under such circumstances, if I spread some unfavorable remarks against you, how many people over there will believe you again? Under such mutual suspicion, you will definitely not be able to stay there, and you will even have to worry about your life, so you can only draw a line with them. Do you think they'll have a chance of winning without you over there, and if I try to get you to my side......

Li Le smiled and didn't say any more.

Mo Xichao smiled helplessly and said: "You think things are too simple, even so, they may lose a lot, but I am afraid that the capital will not be peaceful in the future." The forces of the seven factions and eight gangs spread all over the Great Shang, and if the time comes, they will give up all their concerns and specifically target Gyeonggi......"

Li Le interrupted him and said, "They won't, no one will be so stupid as to be so reckless......

Mo Xichao interrupted: "You don't know the ...... of Jianghu people"

Li Le hurriedly said: "But I know people......"

Mo Xichao said: "People in the martial arts are reckless ...... many times"

Li Le said: "Most of those are barefoot men who don't have a heel base......"

Mo Xichao: "The same is true of the seven doors and eight gangs......

Li Le: "I don't believe ......"

Mo Xichao: "The capital is too important to them......"

Li Le: "It's also important to me......"

Mo Xichao sighed bitterly and said, "Can you stop bickering?"

Li Le glanced at him: "You picked it up." ”

Mo Xichao said: "Okay, let's analyze it slowly." Gyeonggi is the hub of the world, and all the decrees of the Great Merchants were issued from there. The seven factions and eight gangs need to know the direction of the imperial decrees in the future, need to make corresponding countermeasures, and need to exchange information with the yamen in the capital. Even if you now have the royal family standing behind you, the crown prince to cover you up, and the big gentleman to escort you, but at that time, the first to abandon you is the royal family, and you have a personal relationship with the prince, but the emperor will not care about that, in order to protect the prince, in order to give an explanation to the seven factions and eight gangs, he will definitely throw you out. How long can the big master and the great master protect you? The second son is invincible, but in the face of the menacing entire martial arts, his final fate can be imagined, and at that time, how should you deal with yourself?"

Mo Xichao said a long paragraph in one breath, Li Le did not interrupt, and listened to him quietly. Until the end, Li Le sighed and said in a compromise: "Now mention their conditions." ”

Mo Xichao smiled, he knew that Li Le would make a compromise, so he said: "In the future, there will be a place for the Xuanyi Society in the capital......

"Stop!" Just this sentence, Li Le understood their intentions, and interrupted Mo Xichao's words: "Before they are helpless, before you propose that they withdraw from the capital, the Xuanyi Society will have a place, and it is the entire Vermilion Bird Fang, if there is only one place, why should I bother so much." ”

Mo Xichao was not annoyed by the interruption of his topic, he seemed to have guessed that such a condition could not make Li Le back down, and still smiled: "Then tell me your request." ”

Li Le said: "In addition to the beggar gang, the seven factions and eight gangs can still operate in the capital, and if they occupy their territory, the Xuanyi Association will also spit it out, and will let their business reopen, and Xuanyi will not ask." But in addition to negotiating the fixed gangs, there are no other gangs allowed on the ground in the capital, and these vacated territories are all owned by the Xuanyi Society, and I want them and the Xuanyi Association to exchange news, and I want to know any disturbances in the capital. ”

Mo Xichao smiled and said: "You want to buy and sell news in the capital? ”

Li Le said: "These messages can be shared with you, which can be regarded as compensation for you during this time, we are friends, so I don't want to be polite to you anymore." Personally, in fact, I want you to be in charge of the Xuanyi Society, He Jiu can kill people, and the others are not very good. Although the white fan beside him has a bit of strategy, his vision is too shallow and not enough to plan. ”

Mo Xichao asked, "What about you?"

Li Le said: "Of course, I'm eating, drinking, having fun, practicing and reading. ”
