Chapter 244: Decisive Battle - Fate (8)
The night was dark and windy, and the heavy clouds covered the moonlight, which was a good time to kill people and set fires. And the few people who are sneaking in the night at this moment will naturally not miss this God-given opportunity.
"They're coming!" the man who spoke said in a black suit, with a majestic figure, and a silver spear in his hand, even in this moonless night, it still shone brightly, exuding a cold light.
The man beside him was startled when he heard this, and he hurriedly looked left and right, and several strong-armed guards behind him hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to protect the two of them.
"Haha, Master Guo is very punctual!" came out with the voice, but it was three big men who were also dressed in black suits, and the first one calmly stepped out of the dark corner of the alley, and there was no embarrassment in the laughter of the Dao Po whereabouts, but a trace of jealousy could still be caught in the eyes of the two behind him.
The man holding the silver gun is naturally Guo Wei, the master of the Iron Gun Gate, and the person next to him is the military advisor Xiang Chong.
The three people who came were Tong Meng, Tong Jian, and Tong Da.
However, he said that after Lu Zongbao came to the ghost market to find both sides a few days ago, Xiang Chong quickly made a plan. Lu Zongbao just asked them to cause some riots in Wuyue Town, but it was still up to them to decide how to implement it. So, they're here tonight.
This humble alley was close to the mansion where the Greatsword Alliance's lair was located, and the two sides were coming for the Greatsword Alliance tonight.
They don't care if there are ten thousand families standing behind the Giant Sword Alliance, just as Lu Zongbao guessed, the so-called three major forces in the ghost city may still be able to maintain their independence at the beginning. But after so many years, it has long been infiltrated by the family's forces beyond recognition, and by now, the people in charge of the three major gangs have almost acquiesced to this kind of contact between the two, and they only have to lift the fig leaf.
It is precisely because of such a close connection with the forces of the family that Guo Wei and Tong Meng are not worried at all that they will be killed by Lu Zongbao after the riot. This is a ghost market, which has been stored for decades, and the benefits it brings to Wuyue Town have long been recognized by everyone, forming a network of interests that affect the whole body.
This net is unbreakable! The power of the family can openly use the gangs in the black market to resell all kinds of prohibited items, and the profits are terrifying! And it is very safe, even if something happens, there are these people in the rivers and lakes to block it, so the wealthy family is naturally happy to continue the ghost market. At the same time, the people in the rivers and lakes in the ghost market can also rely on this kind of dark trading to strengthen themselves, and form a force that restricts the wealthy families. Once the wealthy families try to change the existing order of the ghost market, these Jianghu forces will abandon their previous suspicions and work together with the outside world. Externally, this kind of good place where you can buy what you want as long as you spend money is naturally loved by high rollers everywhere.
Of course, it is a taboo thing to save such a ghost market, but in Wuyue Town, there is a sea of taboo things!
It is precisely this tacit understanding between each other that any move that destroys the existing order of the ghost market will be resisted by everyone, without exception!
As long as the existence of the ghost market will not be fundamentally impacted, then no matter who wins in the end, if you want to continue to maintain the order of the ghost market, you must rely on them.
And for people like Guo Wei and Tong Meng, who have already stood at the peak of the power of the ghost market, how to use this riot to strengthen themselves is the real matter related to their survival!
It is foreseeable that after the riots, the forces in the ghost market will inevitably reshuffle, and the competition for territory is like a boat sailing against the current. The ghost market is so big, if you want to survive in this square inch, you can only step on other people's bodies and keep climbing up, because once you stop, you will die!
Therefore, not long after Lu Zongbao left, Xiang Chong came to visit the three brothers of the Tong family, and it didn't take much effort to form an alliance with each other.
It is true that there is some resentment between the triad and the iron spear gate in advance, and it is not small! But for those of them who can sell a qiē in order to survive, resentment is really a luxury of affection.
Since they were on Lu Zongbao's side this time, it was easy to understand that they would have thoughts about the Giant Sword Alliance. Of course, the most important thing is that they already have an idea about the Giant Sword Alliance, but the other party doesn't know it at all! This opportunity will give them a great advantage in the future battle!
"Boss Tong poured out of the nest, but he was very relieved!"
Guo Wei didn't say anything about the malice of the three brothers of the Fang Cai Tong family, and before the Giant Sword Alliance was severely damaged, the strength of their three major gangs was not much different. Don't talk about the Tong brothers, it is Guo Wei's side, if they seize the opportunity, they will definitely give the Tong brothers a ruthless blow! After all, their purpose is only to fight for territory and strengthen themselves, as for who owns this territory, it doesn't matter at all!
What's more, even if the two of them cooperate to deal with the Giant Sword Alliance, even if they win, they will only get half of each other's territory, and if they can take the opportunity to destroy each other, before the Giant Sword Alliance reacts, they can obviously get more benefits than cooperating to destroy the Giant Sword Alliance. And once the winning side digests these benefits, it will be able to occupy an absolute advantage in the confrontation with the Giant Sword Alliance, and even take the opportunity to destroy the Giant Sword Alliance, so that it is not impossible to dominate the ghost city.
So the temptation of the companion is really greater than the enemy!
It's just that the three brothers of the Tong family were told their whereabouts by Guo Wei, and after Guo Wei was on guard, their chances were completely gone! That silver gun was not an ornament, it was with the silver gun in his hand that Guo Wei almost relied on his own strength to maintain the current prestige of the iron gun gate when the iron gun gate was weak.
Fighting alone, none of the three brothers of the Tong family is Guo Wei's opponent, even if the three of them want to take down Guo Wei together, it will take a lot of effort to succeed, and this place is obviously not a good choice.
"Haha! It's naturally more refreshing to cooperate with Guo Sect Master! Those little characters in the club are useless when they come! It's better to stay at home! Besides, Guo Men Master and the military advisor are all heroes, how can they bother with those little minions?" Tong Meng said with a pointful smile.
Guo Wei was the only one who came to the Iron Gun Gate, and there was still an elderly foundation building master left in the door, no matter what arrangements Xiang Chong made before, now he had to give up those bad ideas after hearing Tong Meng's words.
If the Iron Gun Gate relies on Guo Wei alone, then the three brothers of the Tong family are the first of the triads, as long as these three people are there, then no matter how many triad minions are killed and how much territory they rob, the Tong family can be returned afterwards! And at this moment of chaos, some inappropriate measures will only push the Tong brothers to the side of the Giant Sword Alliance, and such a consequence is something that the Iron Gun Gate cannot bear!
Therefore, in this short greeting, the two sides of the Triad and the Iron Gun Gate once again strengthened the idea of cooperation.
"Mr. Xiang, what should I do next, can I give my brother a letter now?" Tong Meng asked Xiang Chong with a smile.
Xiang Chong said calmly: "The easiest way is naturally to rush over directly, but the iron sword in Yuan Biao's hand is not easy to mess with, if we want to take him down, we have to pay one or two here!
Tong Meng was silent after listening, and Xiang Chong didn't mind. The three brothers of the Tong family are weaker in kung fu than Guo Wei, and the most likely to be injured in such a melee is their brothers, Tong Meng naturally cannot agree, but fortunately, Xiang Chong cannot really make such preparations.
"If you can't kill it directly, then you can only use a trick!" Xiang Chong asked.
"Will you come out?" Tong Meng dropped back into his bookbag.
Xiang Chong smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry!
As if to highlight Xiang Chong's clever calculation, not long after Xiang Chong finished speaking, a mansion not far away suddenly burst into flames, followed by waves of shouts and killings.
"This ......" Tong Jian, who was standing behind the eldest brother, was stunned and looked at the sky-high flames that were obviously the mansion where the Giant Sword Alliance's main altar was located, and he was shocked for a while!
Tong Meng looked at Xiang Chong deeply, and said with a casual smile: "Mr. Xiang is really clever!"
Xiang Chong smiled but did not speak.
"Okay, the military advisor is waiting here! We'll do the rest!" After Guo Wei finished speaking, he grabbed the silver spear and rushed towards the firelight, followed by two men in strong suits, who were also good at the iron spear door.
Tong Meng saw that Guo Wei dared to leave first, looked at the distance Guo Wei was away from here, and then looked at the remaining iron gun door masters around Xiang Chong, and his heart moved.
It's just that when Tong Meng looked at Shang Xiang Chong's playful gaze, the distracting thoughts in his heart dissipated!
God knows if this guy has left anything behind, it's not worth the risk!
"Let's go too!" Tong called out, and the two brothers followed closely behind him.
When Guo Wei and Tong Meng arrived at the side of the Giant Sword Alliance's house, they could clearly hear the shouts in the courtyard.
"Ah...... Gauze...... Brother Luo, you ......"
"Luo Tiancheng, what the fuck are you doing?"
A miserable wail in the courtyard went straight into the sky, but it quickly weakened. Then another angry shout rang out.
"Haha, isn't the big boss looking bad? What is Luo doing, can't you see it?"
Then came the sound of a man's laughter.
Tong Meng and Guo Wei outside the courtyard glanced at each other, and then jumped onto the wall and climbed into the courtyard, followed by the people behind them.
As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they saw that all the wooden houses in the courtyard were burning rapidly, and the billowing smoke was full of fighting people.
Near the door of the main hall, the fire was the brightest, and I saw a square-faced man in a green robe slumping to the ground weakly at the moment, but he was still holding a wide-mouthed giant sword tightly in his hand, Guo Wei and Tong Meng recognized that this person was Yuan Biao, the leader of the Giant Sword Alliance.
Just not far from Yuan Biao, a man with silver threads in his hair fell to the ground facing the dirt at the moment, and the scarlet blood flowing from his chest and abdomen was rapidly staining the dark soil, judging by this person's outfit, he should be the second leader of the Giant Sword Alliance!
And on the side of the man who fell to the ground, a big man who looked to be in his thirties and had a horse face, at this moment he was holding a dagger in his hand, and was looking up to the sky and smiling, and the undried blood on the dagger was still dripping downward.
"Luo Tiancheng!why??" Yuan Biao struggled to stand up, staring at him and roaring loudly.
The horse-faced man named Luo Tiancheng saw that Yuan Biao actually stood up with a giant sword in his hand, and hurriedly took a few steps back in fright, but he tripped over the second master who fell to the ground, fell on his back, and the dagger in his hand also fell to the side.
Luo Tiancheng used both hands and feet, climbed away from the corpse of the second master, hurriedly picked up the lost dagger again, turned over behind him, sat on the ground, held his hands tremblingly, and shouted with a trembling voice in his mouth to Yuan Biao...... What do you want to do? ...... Don't come here!"
Yuan Biao looked at Luo Tiancheng's cowardly appearance, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart!
Then there was a dizziness in his head, and he stumbled before he took two steps and sat down again.
"Haha!Haha! I'll just say it! I'll just say it! With the power of 'Ecstasy', how can you not get you Yuan Biao! This is a secret medicine that is said to be a trick even if a master of the Grandmaster Realm encounters it!" Luo Tiancheng saw Yuan Biao fall down again, so he laughed a few times, his body quickly climbed up, the dagger in his hand flipped lightly, and leaned towards Yuan Biao step by step.
"Why? Why ?......" Yuan Biao turned over with difficulty, lay on the ground, and still muttered in his mouth.
"Haha! What else can it be? Of course, the price is higher!" Luo Tiancheng still didn't rush forward, kept three feet away from Yuan Biao, and replied with a big laugh.
"Who is it?" said Yuan Biao, who was lying on the ground, with his pupils bulging in his eyes.
"Haha, who else could be in this ghost city?" Luo Tiancheng said with a smile.
"Iron Spear Gate or Triad?" asked Yuan Biao.
"Well...... Originally, this matter was planned by Mr. Xiang, but now if the head of Yuanda counts my old boy, it can be counted!" Before Luo Tiancheng could answer, a voice came from the smoke behind him.
But it was the three brothers of the Tong family, Guo Wei and others who came over.
"Guo Wei, Tong Meng, it's really you!" Yuan Biao lay on the ground, his face facing here, his limbs twitching constantly, trying to stand up but he didn't have any strength in his body, he could only look at the person with cannibalistic eyes.
"Ah! What kind of peerless martial arts is this master, how is this posture so unique?" Tong Meng heard what Luo Tiancheng said about "Ecstasy", and saw that Yuan Biao's symptoms were indeed very similar to the appearance of "Ecstasy" in the legend, but he was cautious by nature, and he also didn't get too close, and only laughed in the distance.
"Haha! Luo Tiancheng, you pig brain, even if you sell the Giant Sword Alliance today, how can you have a place in this ghost city in the future?" Yuan Biao ignored Tong Meng's jokes, and just sneered at Luo Tiancheng.
"Well, you can rest assured that the Yuanda master is at ease! I'd better make friends with the heroes of the world, as long as Brother Luo nods, he will immediately become the fourth leader of my triad! The treatment should be no different from my three brothers! Yuanda master can rest assured, I will help you take care of Brother Luo!" Tong Meng smiled.
"No matter how many people Brother Luo brings over, my old Guo promises that I will never mobilize a single person, and Brother Luo will still support it!" Guo Wei also said.
"Look! We people are still very warm-hearted! You can rest assured that you are in charge! We will take care of you with these brothers!" Tong Meng said with a solemn face, his expression was like waiting for the filial son and grandson of Tuogu.
"How is it? Haha......" Luo Tiancheng smiled proudly.
Yuan Biao on the ground stared at Luo Tiancheng with dead eyes, and the ridicule at the corners of his mouth became thicker and thicker: "At this time and that time, they naturally said it when they used you, and when it really came, how could they spare you!"
"Alas, big boss, you are not kind! We respect you and respect you, so we will keep you for a while, and I think it would be good for you to leave a few last words. But it's good that you've actually played a trick to get a discord, and the big boss doesn't hurt the feelings of our brothers! Alas, it's really heart-wrenching!" Tong Meng said with a face full of regret.
"Alright, let's do it, lest there be too many dreams at night. Guo Wei stopped Tong Meng's teasing, grabbed the silver gun, and walked towards Yuan Biao, and Tong Meng followed closely when he saw this.
Guo Wei also observed for a long time, the "Ecstasy" was sent to Luo Tiancheng by Xiang Chong through his hand, Guo Wei is most familiar with the symptoms of this secret medicine, and after observing for so long, he found that Yuan Biao's reaction was exactly the same as the symptoms of "Ecstasy".
Therefore, Guo Wei made up his mind to come forward!
"That's enough!" Guo Wei walked into Yuan Biao's three feet with full vigilance, in this range, Yuan Biao's iron sword could never be faster than the silver spear in his hand!
A bright light flashed, and the spear in Guo Wei's hand was like a silver dragon, stabbing towards Yuan Biao on the ground like thunder!
"Luo Tiancheng, I'm waiting for you underground!" Yuan Biao didn't react in the slightest in the face of Guo Wei's thunderous blow, still staring at Luo Tiancheng with straight eyes, and shouted resentfully.
As soon as Guo Wei saw it, he only used fifty percent of his strength to use all his strength in an instant, and the already swift silver spear became faster!
"Ah......h
A scream was heard......
Wuyue Town, at the city gate.
Zhou Gang, who was dressed in military uniform, led his son Zhou Bin, rode a high-headed horse, followed by heavily armed government soldiers, and was confronting the defenders on the city gate tower in front of the city gate of Wuyue Town at the moment.
There are many mountains and rivers in the south, and there are not many horses in the Tang Dynasty, and even fewer in the south! For this reason, Zhou Gang's command only had more than 100 cavalrymen, and they were all riding single horses. But this time, Zhou Gang brought them all out.
More than 100 tall horses stood in front of the city gate of Wuyue Town, full of momentum! Behind them were the stubborn infantrymen, standing straight one by one, and their silent appearance also caused a great sense of oppression to the guards on the tower of Wuyue Town. In the middle of the infantry formation, there were several loading trucks, as well as the huge wooden boxes, and I don't know what was in them.
"Ah! General Zhou, the commander of Yuzhang Zhichong Mansion, is here! Where is the gatekeeper? Why don't you come to pay your respects quickly!"
In front of Zhou Gang's military formation, a vanguard officer rode on a horse, waved a long lance in his hand, and shouted loudly at the top of the tower.
