Chapter 149: Cooperation
"Brother Tian, it's okay for you to be shameless, but Brother Liang and I still want to be embarrassed, we don't want to lose face with you."
"You're shallow, aren't you. In these years, there is a word on the road that is very particular - thick black. What is thick black? That is, the face should be thick and the heart should be dark. Otherwise, one day you won't even know how you died. If you take this path, you should learn from Prime Minister Cao. Rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me. Look at what kind of heart and courage this is. Li Tianyu said in a clichΓ©d tone.
"You're talking nonsense. I heard in Jinling before that everyone who walks on the road must learn from Guan Erye. Cui Hao retorted unconvinced.
"What is the second master of learning? Reading Spring and Autumn or scraping bones to heal wounds? Or do you want to go all the way and kill all the way after five levels and six generals? β
"Scholars are loyal to the liver and courage, and righteousness is thin and cloudy."
"Come on, now you can try again, and make sure you die early. Remember, what I said, since you have taken this path, you have to put down the so-called heroic dream, no one will care what means you use, only the person who laughs last has the right to speak, oh, that is, he has the qualification to speak. Li Tianyu instigated evilly.
"Tianyu, I agree with what you say. But are you really going to send someone from the Celestial Group with you? Chen Youliang still asked suspiciously.
"Why not? I know what you're both worried about. Do you really think that my IQ can only make you think that way? To be honest, although the training results of this Tiantian group are full of praise at the moment, who knows how much they can play if it comes to actual combat? So I think it's necessary for them to get used to the feeling of actual combat from now on. Do you still think I'm going to put them on the table? β
"It turns out that you are going to let them hide around secretly, and if there is a conflict, let them try their skills in real combat." Chen Youliang suddenly realized.
"That's how it should be. The Heavenly Group was originally cultivated as the secret weapon of our Heavenly Feather Alliance, but we couldn't give up all opportunities to exercise in order to maintain an absolute sense of mystery. For them, progress can only be made by constantly performing tasks. Li Tianyu said confidently.
Immediately, Li Tianyu called Li Feng, and after making some arrangements with him, Li Feng also led the team members to leave. Because they have to rush to Nahong Yanlou before tomorrow to familiarize themselves with the terrain, find out the room where the gang leader of tomorrow might be, and then make arrangements around that room in advance. And Li Tianyu also made an appointment with Li Feng that if he needed support, he would use the cup as a number.
On the second day, the Yu gang leader really came to Hongyan Tower early, and the Liu helm master was also sent to the Ge family to pick them up and leave Yangzhou for Yancheng.
Nahong Yan Tower is a three-story attic building facing the canal in the east of the city. Although it does not look as luxurious as Juxianzhuang on the outside, the style of the whole building is rare in Yangzhou City. I heard that the reason why it is called "Hongyan Tower" is because standing at the window of the attic on the second and third floors, you can see the wild geese soaring at the end of the canal.
"Gang Leader Li, don't come unharmed. The slave family first came to Yangzhou, and it is really an honor to be appreciated by your gang today. Gang Leader Li is really good this time. I don't know who these two are......"
If you're making trouble, you just pretend to be, since you even know the details of Lao Tzu, is it possible that you really don't know the identities of Youliang and Xiaohao? It's just that Lao Tzu really didn't expect that you would come to the meeting alone. It's a shame to have a delicious meal at this table.
"Oh, this personable boy standing on my right is none other than Chen Youliang, the deputy gang leader of our Tianyu Alliance. And the young and promising young man on my left is Cui Hao, the little gang leader of my Tianyu League. I read a post from your gang saying that I wanted to discuss with the leader of our Tianyu Alliance, so I pulled everyone over. After all, if there were no Youliang and Xiaohao, there would be no Tianyu Alliance today. Li Tianyu said these scenes righteously.
"In that case, then please take a seat." Gang Master Yu made a request to the three of them, and after the three of them sat down one after another, he also sat down next to Li Tianyu.
"Gang Master Li, do you know why the concubine invited you over this time?" But seeing that Gang Leader Yu had just sat down, he said sideways.
"Well, I can't think of it just to invite you to dinner. Well, yes, this loofah fried tastes good. Oh, I'm sorry, Gang Master Yu, I didn't have breakfast when I came. However, it is very interesting to look at the name of this restaurant below. Hongyan Tower, Hongyan Tower, is it possible that it will be a Hongmen banquet? Li Tianyu said unceremoniously while eating the food, without waiting for Chen Youliang and Cui Hao to react, but for a while, the two of them were a little shy.
"Gang Leader Li is really funny. The concubine just thinks that the location of this restaurant is good, just like the box we are in now, looking out from the window, it is an endless water and sky. β
"I didn't see that Gang Leader Yu was still a lover. That's right, Luoxia and the wild geese fly together, and the river is the same color as the sky. No, I'm going to write a poem. Hong Yan - ask the sky, how far away is the sky. Drink the wine dry, pour it again, and don't get drunk tonight. Li Tianyu poured himself a drink as he spoke.
"Brother Tian, are you also called a poem? It's not as subtle as the first two sentences. Cui Hao said with white eyes, but he was still embarrassed to move his chopsticks.
"Giggle...... Gang Leader Li is such a wonderful person. The two gang leaders don't have to be polite, even if they are in their own homes. Since Gang Leader Li just said that this was a Hongmen banquet, the concubine was curious about whether Gang Leader Li was the King of Han or the King of Chu this time? Gang Leader Yu couldn't help but be amused by Li Tianyu's actions, and immediately asked easily.
"Well, in terms of the situation, I should be the king of Chu, but in terms of results, I am naturally the king of Han. Gang Leader Yu, don't be polite, come, drink some wine. After saying that, Li Tianyu picked up the wine jug, and the Yu gang leader hurriedly picked up the wine glass with both hands when he saw the situation, but who knew that the next moment Li Tianyu was full of it for Chen Youliang.
Seeing this, Gang Leader Yu was not angry, but couldn't help but smile, put down his wine glass and continued: "Gang Leader Li is serious. I've probably heard about the grievances I had with your gang before. At that time, the Liu helmsman was also forced to make this decision out of helplessness in the Ge family. There is a good saying, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Now that the Ge family has fallen, why don't you and I shake hands and make peace? After all, your gang and us have not yet reached the point of the dispute between Chu and Han. You say not? β
This is true. The reason why he was secretly framed by Nawu Dalang was indeed caused by Na Ge Gongzi. In the final analysis, it was because of the hatred with Na Ge Gongzi on the Qin family's painting boat that there would be later events.
"Then I want to ask Gang Master Yu, what are you going to do with this Ge family now?" Although Li Tianyu agreed with the other party's statement in his heart, he didn't show it too much, but asked rhetorically.
"This Li gang leader doesn't need to worry, the concubine can guarantee you that the Ge family will not appear in Yangzhou City again."
"But why should I shake hands with your gang? Or why should I trust you? Gang Leader Yu, you must have heard more or less that the headquarters of our Tianyu League was almost burned down by the Liu Duo Master of your gang before, and the brothers in the gang were also closed in that ghost gate. With all due respect, if you want to make everyone laugh at this meal now, you won't be able to raise up some brothers in the gang today. Li Tianyu said with a smile on his face, and at the same time did not forget to move the chopsticks in his hand.
Seeing that the person in front of him was saying that he would not be bought by such a meal, and at the same time devouring this and that, it really seemed that he had come on an empty stomach without breakfast. Where is this still the demeanor of the leader of the gang.
Gang Leader Li laughed. Today's banquet is only for the concubine to make amends to the three gang leaders on behalf of our gang. The reason why I said that before is because I want to talk to you about some cooperation with you. I saw that the Yu gang leader said unhurriedly while pouring wine for the three of them.
"Cooperation?" Chen Youliang and Cui Hao were a little surprised when they heard this, they didn't know how the pair would cooperate with the Tianyu Alliance.
"Let's talk about what kind of cooperation method it is." Li Tianyu asked as he continued to eat.
"As the three helpers have seen before, we have procured the supplies on those two cargo ships on behalf of the son of John, and we will always be responsible for helping him carry the goods to the east coast. At present, you have also seen the situation of the Ge family, so I want to transfer the boat operator from Jinling to Yangzhou and then to Hailing County to be handed over to your gang to do. I don't know what Li Bang thinks? β
"You mean to let our brothers from the Heavenly Feather Alliance help you run this route? I guess I can't make much money by making a living on this ship. Besides, why should I work with you? I've seen Mr. John, so why don't I just go to him and take the business? After Li Tianyu listened to her cooperation method, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. It's noisy, you are responsible for the beauty of procurement, and I will do the hard work of transportation, and I won't have much profit margin.
"Gang Leader Li, I know what you're thinking. Let me tell you the truth, even if you had made some agreement with that John, I don't think he would have left our ship. In the entire area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not to mention that this route can run from Jinling to the East China Sea, there is no other family to talk about the scale of the cargo ship alone. So I don't think John will offend us for the sake of others for the time being. Therefore, I hope that Gang Leader Li can think about it. After that, the Yu gang leader picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass, then raised it and saluted the three of them and drank it all.
It's noisy, I said how this girl looks fearless and confident. She still has the key factors in her hands. Li Tianyu fell silent for a while, and Chen Youliang and Cui Hao on the side also looked at him without saying a word, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
"I would like to know how much it will benefit me every year if I take over this shipping as you say." After a long time, Li Tianyu finally asked slowly.
"This is naturally indispensable to everyone's benefits, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation with the Li gang leader, I can transfer fifty percent of the annual shipping profits to your gang, I don't know what the Li gang thinks?"
"Fifty percent?" Chen Youliang was extremely shocked when he heard this, and giving up fifty percent of the profits to the Tianyu Alliance was equivalent to sending half of the Salt Gang over. Such a self-abandonment of martial arts to seek cooperation really brings a lot of sincerity.
"Fifty percent? It sounds like a big deal, and it's tempting. But I don't want it, I just want the right to buy all the supplies of Mr. John. β
