Guo Ye stayed alone in the side hall for a short while, and Steward Yu hurriedly led Ma Qianli, the leader of the Dirty Clothes Gang, and the Hawkeye Lao Qi, the chief scoop of the Twelve Serial Docks, into the door.

Steward Yu quietly closed the doors and windows of the side hall, and after the air tightened, he invited the two masters to sit down.

After Ma Qianli and Hawkeye Lao Qi sat down, they looked at Guo Ye at the same time, Guo Ye also took a rough look at the two of them.

The eagle-eyed old seven, as his name suggests, has a pair of shining eyes like a goshawk looking around, and he is full of vigilance from beginning to end.

Ma Qianli, on the other hand, is not good-looking, unkempt and bearded, wearing sloppy and sloppy rag clothes, and holding a green bamboo cane in his hand, no different from an ordinary beggar begging for food on the street.

Guo Ye saw that the two of them had been looking at him but didn't say a word, so he had to take the lead in breaking the silence, and said to the two with a kind face: "This official and Lei Laohu are close friends before their deaths, and the two masters came all the way to Yangzhou to mourn Brother Lei, and they are really righteous people. This official has two thousand disciples for the Wind Thunder Hall, and he has thanked the two masters here. ”

"桀桀桀~~"

The eagle-eyed old seven's mouth let out a night owl-like roar, and he smiled sadly: "Guo Tingshi doesn't need to be so polite. Hehe, the purpose of our heroes gathering here is very clear, and there is no need to hide it at all. Our name is Ben Funeral, but we are actually here from the territory after the dissolution of the Wind and Thunder Hall. Guo Tingshi asked Steward Yu to invite the two of us to come here, why the hell, you better say it straightforwardly! ”

Ma Qianli, who was sitting opposite, blew his nose, wiped his pickled palm on his torn clothes, and shouted: "Hawk-eyed Lao Qi is right, our Jianghu life is not to enter the official family, death is better than hell, and we never deal with people in the government." If Guo Tingshi wants to rely on the identity of Yangzhou's parents to persuade us to dispel the idea of fighting for territory, hehe, you should save it. Jianghu people have the rules of Jianghu people, and no one can cut off our jobs, right? ”

"Refreshing!"

Guo Ye saw that the two of them were going straight forward, he praised the knots with both hands, nodded and said, "Since you are straightforward, then the official will get straight to the point and not go around in circles." Two, let's tell you the truth, it is true that you came to Yangzhou to grab land this time, but now you are not only used as a gunman, but also made dumplings and stewed in a pot, maybe in the end, there are no bones left, and all the halberds are broken in my Yangzhou City! ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Qianli got up suddenly, slammed the green bamboo cane on the ground, and scolded angrily: "Let your grandma's dog stinky fart!" The gentlemen are eating the rice of the rivers and lakes, and they have already pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers, so don't scare us with big words! ”

The eagle-eyed old seven was not as excited as Ma Qianli, he still sat on the chair, and sneered gloomily: "Guo Tingshi, are you really brainless when we are people in the rivers and lakes?" With only 1,500 soldiers in Yangzhou, you want to beat us out of Yangzhou City with dumplings, and you burn paper books on your grave - fooling ghosts? ”

Guo Ye looked at the reaction of the two, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he waved his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be excited, don't be impatient, you misinterpreted the words of the official." Steward, it's up to you to tell the two masters the ins and outs of the matter. ”

Steward Yu hummed, then stood up from the chair tremblingly, greeted Ma Qianli and the eagle-eyed old seven, and explained: "The two masters, Guo Tingshi did not lie, the thing is like this......"

Subsequently, Steward Yu told the relationship between the Zhang family in Yangzhou and the Jinling Jingyi Gang and the Suqian Ma Gang, and secretly colluded with the Jingyi Gang and the Ma Gang under the mediation of the Zhang family to prepare for a joint attack today.

In the end, Steward Yu smiled bitterly: "The Dirty Clothes Gang and the Twelve Links Dock are the same as our Wind and Thunder Hall, they are all people in the rivers and lakes. As the so-called rivers and lakes are about the rivers and lakes, if the friends of the three mountains and five mountains come to Yangzhou for the territory of the Slender West Lake, then Fengleitang has absolutely nothing to say. Because even if the Wind Thunder Hall is to be disbanded, it can't block the financial path of the other Jianghu brothers. However, the Suqian Horse Gang and the Jinling Pure Clothes Gang do not abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes, and they want to make trouble on the day of our hall master's funeral today, and take the opportunity to coerce and seize the gunpowder technique left by our hall master, which is too much to say.

If you don't believe what the old man said, now you can let your disciples go to the ferry wharf to see if there are many sails on the canal, and if there are as many river boats docked as there are carp crossing the river? Hehe, the Pure Clothes Gang and the Suqian Horse Gang have already gone out to seize the gunpowder technique left by our Lei Tang Master, and then use this to occupy the territory of Slender West Lake and eliminate all the other Jianghu forces gathered in Yangzhou City. The plan of killing three birds with one stone, poor you are kept in the dark by other people's calculations, and you are still fighting for your head here. ”

After Ma Qianli patiently listened to Steward Yu's account, he suddenly lost his temper and roared angrily: "Qiu Wanqi of the dog's day!! This dog who has forgotten his ancestors, if he doesn't do it with a good beggar gang, he has to take refuge in the government, which is really a loss of face for the ancestors of our beggar gang for generations. Dogs, if you do it with one hand, Lao Tzu must uproot him, the clean clothes gang of Laoshizi, and can't let them insult the name of the beggar gang again. ”

Under the scolding, Ma Qianli was so angry that he trembled, and he slammed the ground with a bamboo cane again and again, almost not breaking the green bamboo cane in his hand.

Guo Ye looked at Ma Qianli's performance, and was secretly surprised in his heart, could it be that Zhang Jiujin said that the Clean Clothes Gang and the Dirty Clothes Gang have conflicts with each other, and the root is here? The Dare to Love Pure Clothes Gang and the Dirty Clothes Gang were originally one family, and they were all inherited from the beggar gang. It's just that in the generation of Ma Qianli and Qiu Wanqi, there was a split, and one gang became two factions. One continued to beg for a living in rags and filthy clothes, and changed his name to the Dirty Clothes Gang; The other one took refuge in the government, although he continued to recruit the children of the beggars, but he was brightly dressed, and he abandoned the old style of the beggars and became a nondescript clean clothes gang.

But the more Ma Qianli is like this, the more he is happy in his heart, at least looking at this situation, the general trend is halfway.

At this moment, the eagle-eyed old man with a gloomy face suddenly stopped him: "Ma Dang, don't be impatient, it's easy to lose your mind when you're angry, and it's easier for people to take advantage of loopholes!" ”

As he spoke, he had already turned his sharp eyes to Guo Ye, stared at Guo Ye's face for a long time, and asked without yin or yang: "Guo Tingshi, you let Steward Yu talk to us at length, not just to remind us that we have fallen for the tricks of the Zhang family in Yangzhou, right?" ”

Guo Ye could see from the confrontation with the two that the eagle-eyed old seven was definitely deeper than Ma Qianli City, and this person was very scheming and difficult to deal with.

Immediately, he shrugged his shoulders and said bluntly: "Chief scoop boss, don't you think it's a stupid thing to be bent on fighting for territory at this time?" The most urgent thing at the moment is for all of us to join hands to deal with the Zhang family, the Clean Clothes Gang, and the Ma Gang in Yangzhou, and break their conspiracy to save ourselves. You tell me? ”

"Self-help?"

Hawk-eyed Lao Qi sneered, continued to look at Guo Ye, and said, "What is there to save yourself?" The head has a bowl-sized scar, what's the big deal? I'm afraid Guo Tingshi has the same mind as the Zhang family, and he also wants to use us as gunmen, right? ”

Guo Ye was blocked by the words of the eagle-eyed seven, and he almost didn't choke, grandma's, this eagle-eyed seven-year-old is really difficult to deal with.

Seeing that Guo Ye had nothing to say, the eagle-eyed old seven looked a little smug on his face, and continued: "Guo Tingshi, we people who are bastards have never dealt with the government, and the so-called life can't enter the official family, and death can't go to hell. Even if the Pure Clothes Gang and the Ma Gang secretly colluded, and they had already deployed in vain to try to take the opportunity to exterminate us and dominate the Huaiyang area, that is also a matter for our people in the rivers and lakes, what does it have to do with your government? I don't believe it, I can't grab the territory, could it be that the two of us are fighting hard to get hurt, and Ma and I can't get out of the way? As long as we can safely withdraw from Yangzhou, we will have the opportunity to make a comeback and take revenge. ”

I'm grass, Guo Ye was depressed for a while, he was really scared, he was stunned and afraid of dying, and he would rather fight for the annihilation of the whole army than cooperate with him.

Suddenly, he didn't bother to lobby the two of them, and said angrily: "Hmph, kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, since the chief scoop is determined to seek death and is determined to bury the lives of your two gangs in vain, what else does the official say?" ”

"Of course, it's not all absolute!"

Who knows, the eagle-eyed old seven suddenly changed his words, looked at Guo Ye with compassion and asked: "If Guo Tingshi has enough reasons to persuade us not to compete for territory and not let us come to Yangzhou for nothing, hehe, I think we can still consider thinking about it and work together." Do you say, Horse Gang Master? ”

After saying that, the eagle-eyed old seven turned his head and glanced at Ma Qianli, who was still snorting and panting.

Ma Qianli immediately came to his senses, nodded again and again, and agreed: "That's right, yes, if we want to contribute, we have to have some benefits, and we can't go to Yangzhou in vain." ”

Hawk-eyed Lao Qi scolded with a smug smile: "Ma Gang Master, you speak too directly, be low-key and be subtle!" ”

it!

Guo Ye almost scolded the eagle-eyed old seven again, shit, he was actually panting when he spoke, waiting for Lao Tzu here?

Guo Ye secretly sneered in his heart, hehe, if you want the horses to run, you have to give the horses some grass, the people in the rivers and lakes say that they are so free and easy, and they still can't get rid of the word "interests".

Fortunately, Lao Tzu was prepared!

Immediately, he said to Steward Yu: "Steward Yu, please be a witness today." ”

Then, he swaggered back in his chair, crossed Erlang's legs and asked Hawkeye Lao Qi and Ma Qianli, "Don't you just want benefits?" Rest assured, as long as you promise not to fight for territory anymore, and are willing to cooperate with this official to tide over the catastrophe in front of you, the benefits will definitely not be less than yours. Moreover, the benefits promised by this official to the two of you are definitely greater than the profits of Feng Lei Tang's original tax payment in the area of Slender West Lake, which is simply a profitable livelihood. ”

"Really?"

Ma Qianli's eyes suddenly lit up, his face was happy, he kept rubbing his hands, and asked loudly: "What is the benefit, say it quickly, Guo Tingshi!" ”

The eagle-eyed old seven pulled the sleeve of Pulla Ma Qianli again, and reminded in a low voice: "Subtle, calm." ”

Then he put away his gloomy tone and urged Guo Ye: "Guo Tingshi, listen to your ears in the next day, and you will tell me your benefits!" ”
