Chapter 142: The Third Truth

Just like Yang Zhen's judgment just now, the real winner of this battle should be Ye Tianlong. The pen fun pavilion was just www.biquge.info his last sword stabbed out, but when he was only an inch away from Luo Chengzhang's throat, he froze the move. And just this moment, Luo Chengzhang's thunder knife had already slashed down, putting him to death.

Luo Chengzhang understood very well in his heart that in fact, Ye Tianlong was not just a line higher than himself. You must know that two masters of equal strength are fighting against each other, especially in this kind of life-and-death battle, if you go all out, it is impossible to suddenly stop moving. Just like Luo Chengzhang, knowing that the other party had shown mercy, even if he wanted to stop at the point in his heart, he had nothing to change, so he could only kill Ye Tianlong under the knife.

But Ye Tianlong is still able to send and receive freely in such battles, which can only prove one thing - even if it is the last move, he still has reservations. In terms of real strength, he is not only a little higher than Luo Chengzhang just now.

Luo Chengzhang understood Ye Tianlong's good intentions, and he did this just to better protect Yan Huan. Because he knows very well that if he really wants to win, he will inevitably hurt Luo Chengzhang. And once Luo Chengzhang is really hurt, I am afraid that others will be even more unwilling to let go of Yan Huan. So he only has such a choice, and he also believes that Luo Chengzhang can see the clue and fulfill it for the sake of his own death.

Therefore, it was Ye Tianlong who won, and he was the one who died!

After hearing Luo Chengzhang's words, Yan Huan, who was stunned by Ye Tianlong's death, gradually came back to his senses. His gaze was fixed on Ye Tianlong for a long time, thinking that this old man who had been by his side, encouraged him, and guarded him died like this, Yan Huan couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart!

"I hurt him! I was instigated by others, I had to take back the power of the gang, and I had to come to Hangzhou to bring down Luo Chengzhang with my own hands, so that Ye Bo would die here! As soon as Yan Huan's mind turned such a thought, he pressed it hard: "No, I'm not wrong!" I'm the leader of the Cao Gang, and I should have done this! It's Luo Chengzhang who is wrong, it's him, he has to do these things, he has to be my enemy, and he has to fight with Ye Bo to be like this. That's right, it was also Ye Bo who he killed with his own hands! ”

After finding an excuse for all this, Yan Huan's gaze finally shifted to Luo Chengzhang's face, his eyes full of hatred and resentment. But he also knew that the situation was stronger than people at the moment, and it was not the time to scold recklessly, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart: "Thank you Luo Gang Leader for raising your noble hand." I'm leaving Hangzhou. As he spoke, he no longer looked at the performance of the people in front of him, nor at Ye Tianlong, who was lying in a pool of blood, and walked forward.

Although some people are still very unwilling and want to step forward to stop it. But under Luo Chengzhang's gaze, their movements were only half done, and in the end, they had to watch Yan Huan walk away with his chest straight.

After Yan Huan's figure disappeared into the night, Luo Chengzhang's body suddenly shook, and then he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, everyone couldn't care about Yan Huan, who was far away, and stepped forward to support him and asked about the situation with concern.

In the battle just now, although Luo Chengzhang won, he tried his best to fight with Ye Tianlong and still suffered internal injuries. It's just that he was worried that vomiting blood would make his subordinates hate Yan Huan even more, so he held on. It wasn't until now, after Yan Huan left, that he finally relaxed and spit out the bruise he was holding back.

"Is the Luo Gang Leader okay?" Yang Zhen, who had already recovered from the wonderful battle just now, also came over and greeted with great concern. This battle may be nothing to ordinary people, but for Yang Zhen, its impact is extremely great. It was only at this time that he discovered that in this era when firearms were not really powerful, it turned out that martial artists could reach such a realm. And he was able to win all the time before, but he didn't meet masters like Luo Chengzhang and Ye Tianlong.

"It seems that I will have to study more about this in the future." Yang Zhen told himself so in his heart. But then, he thought that Luo Chengzhang was Luo Yueying's father, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Luo Chengzhang shook his head with a smile: "I am worried about Lord Lao Yang, and this injury can't hurt me." ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Yang Zhen was relieved, at least he could give an explanation to Luo Yueying.

"Let's go, let's go back and have a good rest first, and then talk about anything else." Luo Chengzhang didn't communicate much with Yang Zhen, only nodded gratefully at him, and then ordered.

The crowd agreed, and walked back behind him. They have been busy all day, and with the precarious worries they have been in place for some time, they really need to relax and rest.

By the morning of the next day, the chaos of the Cao Gang had spread in the city of Hangzhou, and many versions had been deduced. After word of mouth from the people, the incident has become more twisted and bizarre and more thrilling.

However, for Ye Tianzu in the governor's yamen, and the man in his thirties with a white face and a slight beard in front of him, these rumors are too nothing. Because they know everything about this time, including the final outcome, they are in their hands.

Ye Tianzu shook his head: "I thought that people in the Jianghu Gang were always easy to be impulsive. After such a thing happened, Luo Chengzhang would definitely not show mercy to his subordinates, and I put the final leadership back in the hands of his Cao Gang. I didn't think about it, I still underestimated him! ”

The man opposite smiled slightly: "Luo Chengzhang can have today's status and prestige, how can an ordinary figure in the rivers and lakes describe it?" If he didn't have a certain amount of open-mindedness, how could he make so many people in the Cao Gang willing to take his head as a leader, even if he was imprisoned for his crimes, he would still not give up? ”

"Master Su is very right, I think it is simple." Ye Tianzu smiled a little embarrassedly: "It seems that Master Su really has thoroughly understood the temperament and temperament of these people in the rivers and lakes in order to achieve today's results." ”

In the face of Governor Ye's compliment, Master Su just smiled to himself: "I'm just taking advantage of the situation, all of this still depends on Governor Ye's efforts to have today's good situation." ”

"How dare I, how dare I be greedy for your merits, Lord Su?" Although Ye Tianzu had a smug smile in his eyes, he said it very modestly. Who would have thought that this civil strife in the Cao Gang was actually caused by these court officials playing in the middle?

Everything was in the calculations of Ye Tianzu and this Lord Su. It is precisely because all of this was made possible by them that Ye Tianzu would be so cooperative in this matter. Whether it was the Caoyun Yamen asking the governor Yamen to arrest Luo Chengzhang, or the surprise attack on the Lu family's house yesterday to expose the truth that there was no salt in his house, this was all done by him in order to better provoke the internal strife of the Cao Gang.

"First of all, I had the evidence of those water bandits doing evil, but instead of using this to exterminate them, I took advantage of the situation and provoked the contradiction between them and Luo Chengzhang. Then borrow their hands to make the young gang leader of the Cao Gang suspicious of Luo Chengzhang enough, and let him take action against Luo Chengzhang.

"And by Luo Chengzhang's side, Master Su had already bribed a few people, laid down a fuzi, let them cooperate with the outside and trap them in a desperate situation. The official originally thought that these few tricks were enough to make people admire. But he didn't want Master Su to leave a back hand, and when the situation turned, he took advantage of the situation again, so that Luo Chengzhang and his subordinates completely turned against the Cao Gang leader. I'm afraid that in this way, the Cao Gang will be completely split. Ye Tianzu shook his head and sighed: "The only fly in the ointment is that Naluo Chengzhang is not decisive enough." Otherwise, the Cao Gang would have been torn apart at this moment, right? After reviewing the previous plan and implementation, Ye Tianzu let out a voice of admiration again. can make Lord Ye, who is the governor of a province, lose his temper so much, which shows how proud he is about this matter.

"Lord Ye is really ridiculous." Master Su smiled, in fact, he was quite complacent about his own arrangement in his heart: "In fact, at this point, it is quite beneficial for my court to regain the right of Caoyun." Even if Na Luo Chengzhang had concerns and did not kill Yan Huan, the split of the Cao Gang was inevitable. It is certainly difficult for us to deal with a single-minded Cao Gang, but now that this Cao Gang is full of distrust and strife, it is not so difficult for the government to take back the power of Cao Yun from him. ”

"These gangs have always relied on their own control of the transportation along the canal, so they have never paid much attention to the government. This time, the official wants to see how many days they can still be beautiful! ”

"Lord Ye, rest assured, in a few years, this gang that has caused headaches for officials everywhere will be scattered." Master Su said confidently: "But next, we still have to be patient for a while, and we can't push too hard." Otherwise, I am afraid that they will perceive something, so that they will no longer fight among themselves. ”

"This official is naturally saved. Although the officer has not read too many military books, he still knows some principles in the use of soldiers. Ye Tianzu hurriedly said. Although this Lord Su's official rank is far inferior to that of himself, the governor of the frontier, the forces he represents behind him are not something he dares to offend. So even if the other party told himself with some less respectful words, Ye Tianzu didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Good. Next, I'm going to go to Yangzhou. Let's see what else can be done over there to make the fire of the Cao Gang's civil strife burn even bigger. Master Su stretched his waist, as if asking for instructions, and as if he had dropped such a sentence informingly, he had already left his seat.

Seeing him leave, Ye Tianzu's eager and stammering eyes just now quickly turned cold. I saw him gently brushing the long beard under his chin with his right palm, and a trace of worry arose in his heart: "Dongchang has reached out to Zhejiang, and it has meddled in such a thing as Caoyun." What was Gonggong Feng, who had seized a lot of power in the imperial court, thinking? Or is it all Shousuke-sama's meaning? ”
