Chapter 165: Coastal Alliance
After everyone went ashore, they took off their raincoats and rain boots, thinking that Song Jiujue must be anxious like ants on a hot pot if they couldn't find them, but they wanted to see his expression with their own eyes at the moment.
After two more days, when he found that they had evaporated under the layers of Song Jun's investigation, they were not so angry that they couldn't eat for half a month, and they were a little relieved when they thought of this.
Shen Hong went to the pharmacy to call back to Jingu, Chen Youwei heard that the helper was in trouble, and the protector was anxious, so he immediately arranged for a hundred brothers from the nearest to come to the river to respond.
The disciples waited for a long time, and as soon as they saw Chen drunk ashore, they immediately came over to pay respects, "The helper has come out......
The first person said: "He Chao, the helmsman of the subordinate Yiyong Branch, was ordered by the master of the Chen hall to greet the helper here, and it was great to see that the helper was safe and sound, and his subordinates sent the helper back to Jingu." ”
Shen Hongdao: Helper, this time we were able to get out thanks to Miss Chu, can you make an exception and allow her to join the Xiao Gang? ”
Chen Zui said sincerely: "Miss Chu, thanks to your help this time, if you don't dislike it, I now officially invite you to join the Xiao Gang." ”
Chu Yanyan was overjoyed, "Thank you, helper." ”
Shen Hong asked again: "Then do you want to go back to Changling now or come with us first?" ”
Chu Yanyan said: "Now that the wind in the city is so tight, of course I will go back with you first, and then go back to report safety after the wind is over." ”
They were about to leave, when they saw two cars driving on the opposite side, and everyone was on alert. Later, I found that it was not a military vehicle, and I didn't think it looked like an ordinary car.
Chen Zui ordered the vehicle to be intercepted, and ordered not to do anything to the people in the car until the situation was unknown, so as not to injure the innocent by mistake.
The car was stopped, and He Chao stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask which friend is in the car?" ”
Someone in the car replied, "We're just passers-by, please give way." ”
The person who answered was sitting in the back seat, his voice calm and calm, without the slightest fear, and he was by no means an ordinary person.
He Chao said again: "The leader of our gang is invited, please come down and see your friends." ”
The man in the car said: "Helper? Excuse me, ...... you guys?"
"Xiao Gang Chen Gang Leader."
When the man heard this, he immediately opened the car door, and a man and a woman got out of the car and asked, "Where is your helper?" "It's very exciting.
He Chao took them to the river, Chen Zui looked back, rushed over excitedly, and the two hugged each other and smiled, "Shaoling, it's been five years, and we finally met." ”
Li Chengjing and the others also came over, and their friends reunited, leaving all their unhappiness behind for a while. Everyone stepped aside, and Chen Zui told Duan Shaoling about this incident.
It turned out that Duan Shaoling also received rumors that the people of the Sun Society assassinated Song Jiujue and were captured, but they did not send someone to assassinate them, why did such a big rumor flow out, it was Mr. Xue who sent him and Xue Qingning to Changling to find out the truth.
Song Jiujue and Bai Jingyi's design to frame them was heartbreaking, but because of this, they could reunite their brothers, and Chen Zui's hatred for them suddenly disappeared by half.
Chen Zui proposed: "Now that the truth is revealed, you don't have to go to Changling for nothing, why don't we go to Jingu together, let's have a good drink." ”
Duan Shaoling smiled, "Okay, it's rare for us to meet again, it's time to have a good drink." Xue Qingning on the side never spoke.
Chen Zui pulled Duan Shaoling a few steps away and said softly, "Can I call this Xue girl sister-in-law?" ”
Duan Shaoling hurriedly said: "Don't scream, we haven't married yet." ”
"Isn't it, you've been together for five years, and you don't plan to get married?"
"I'll tell you about this later."
Chen Zui returned to the Xiao Gang, and several hall masters immediately rushed to meet him. Chen Zui ordered the guests to settle down, and then held a meeting in the conference hall to explain the whole thing in detail.
The hall masters denounced Song Bai and the others for being despicable and shameless, Chen Zui calmed down the anger of the people, and took revenge without hurrying, the most important thing at the moment was to strengthen their precautions and not let them take advantage of it.
In addition, Chen Zui also asked the hall masters to allow Chu Yanyan to join the Xiao Gang.
Chu Yanyan has a life-saving grace to the gang leader, that is, she is kind to the Xiao Gang, and the gang leader personally promised her, and the exception of letting a woman join the Xiao Gang does not affect the interests of the Xiao Gang, and the gang leader gave another step, and several hall masters agreed.
In the evening, Chen Zui set up a banquet in the backyard, the moonlight was in the sky, and everyone said that they would put down all their identities and unhappiness tonight, just like they used to drink and talk about in the military academy, and only talk about Fengyue......
At the end, Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling were in the same room, and as soon as he entered the room, Duan Shaoling lay down drunk, "I haven't seen you for a few years, why has the amount of alcohol deteriorated?" ”
Then the maid brought in two cups of tea, Chen Zui turned around again, Duan Shaoling sat up, and argued: "Who said I was drunk? It's just been a long time since I've had such a good time. "Stretched.
Duan Shaoling took a sip of tea and said, "We are leaving tomorrow morning and are going to the south." ”
"In such a hurry?"
Duan Shaoling nodded, "Well, Mr. Xue asked us to find out the matter and then join him." ”
"Mr. Xue, when will I change my name to father-in-law?"
Duan Shaoling's face turned even redder, "We plan to be next year." ”
"You really plan to get married, congratulations, you can't help but invite me then."
Duan Shaoling said: "Don't worry, you can't run." Suddenly looked at him seriously, "What about you?" Chu Xian has been with you for five years, and your heart should melt even if it is a stone. ”
"I understand, don't worry, I know what to do."
"Chen drunk, are you asleep?"
The two were taken aback, it was Li Chengjing's voice. Chen Zui came over to open the door, "Chengjing, what's the matter at this late hour?" ”
"Is it convenient to come in and say?"
Entering the room, Li Chengjing said, "I'm going back tomorrow morning." ”
"You also want to leave, then I will send someone to escort you back tomorrow."
Li Chengjing said again: "I came to you to discuss something with you. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Chen Zui, I want to cooperate with you, you send troops to help me guard the southeast coast, and I will give you the right to trade the entire coastal wharf."
Chen Zui said bluntly: "I'm sorry Chengjing, I can't promise you about this matter, even if I agree, the hall masters won't agree." ”
Li Chengjing said: "I knew that you would definitely refuse me, your gang rules do not allow you to deal with warlords." But this time you also saw that if you don't provoke the Song and Bai families, they will also find trouble for you and put you to death. Rather than being isolated, it is better for us to form an alliance, you can rest assured, I will follow the rules of the Xiao Gang, and our cooperation will only be on the coast. ”
Chen Zui was still embarrassed, Duan Shaoling interjected: "Chen Zui, I hope you can agree to form an alliance with Cheng Jing." ”
In order to defeat Cheng Jing, the Song and Bai families tried in vain to collude with foreign countries and betray the southeast coast. In case Cheng Jing is defeated, our country will face internal and external troubles, and you Xiao Gang may not be able to be alone at that time. ”
Chen Zui fell into deep thought......
Li Chengjing said: "Shaoling, I have already heard that the sun will continue to expand its strength, and it is difficult to guarantee that one day we will also meet each other, why do you still persuade Chen Zui to form an alliance with me?" ”
Duan Shaoling smiled proudly, "The purpose of the Sun Society is to explore what the nation and the people really need. And now, the country needs you, because only you can deter the warlords and protect our nation from foreign aggression. ”
Li Chengjing said sincerely: "Shaoling, tell him when you see Mr. Xue, I want to visit him." ”
"Okay, I'll tell Mr. Xue."
Chen Zui sent her to the door, "Chengjing, you have to take more precautions after you go back, and I will think about the alliance again." ”
The next day, before leaving, Duan Shaoling was still earnestly persuading him to put righteousness first.
A few days later, Chen Zui began to discuss an alliance with Li Chengjing with several hall masters, which, as expected, caused a strong controversy. Several senior and prestigious hall masters did not hesitate to accuse Chen Zui in person that he should not violate the gang rules set by the first gang leader for the sake of a woman.
In the face of many doubts and accusations, Chen Zui was not annoyed, remembered what Duan Shaoling said, and patiently explained to everyone that he was not for personal reasons, but from the general interests of the nation.
Although the Xiao Gang is a gang in the rivers and lakes, the national righteousness cannot be lost, there will be rivers and lakes only if there is a country, if the country will not be a country, how can they have their status. The situation is different, the approach is different, and making appropriate changes is more conducive to the future of the Xiao Gang.
From the perspective of interests, entering the coast is to further expand the strength of the Xiao Gang, if even the control of the docks in the southeast is in their hands, no one can shake the status of the largest gang in the world, and there is no need to fear the two major warlords of Song and Bai.
After a few days of deliberation, Chen Zui finally persuaded the hall masters to accept the alliance.
So Chen Zui called Li Chengjing and agreed to form an alliance, Li Chengjing invited Chen Zui to come to the coast to inspect in person, and Chen Zui was invited and brought people there.
Li Chengjing accompanied Chen Zui and others to inspect various coastal areas, and the two sides exchanged views, revised the treaty, and formally signed the treaty in Yucheng half a month later.
The main treaty is: Li Chengjing handed over the trade rights of the coastal wharf to the Xiao Gang, and the Xiao Gang had the obligation to jointly guard the customs with the Li family to defend against foreign enemies, and at the same time, the Xiao Gang had to abide by the laws and regulations of the Li family on the coast, but not under its jurisdiction, and especially emphasized that the alliance between the two families was limited to the coastal area.
After the contract was signed, Chen Zui returned to Jingu to hold an internal meeting, and finally decided to send the master of Qutang to the coast to preside over the overall situation.
After Chu Yanyan joined the Xiao Gang, Chen Zui wanted to arrange a light job for her, so he asked her to stay by Leng Chuxian's side as an assistant. Chu Yanyan insisted on not accepting it, she would rather raise horses in Xiao than get a boring clerical job,
She took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the dock to help, but Chen Zui had to let her follow Shen Hong for the time being.
After the turmoil, Chu Yanyan went back to Changling alone to report safety, and then heard the news that Changling was still under martial law within ten days after they left, and after ten days, Song Dashuai said that the rebel party was secretly executed, and the ban on the whole city was lifted.
After Song Jiujue's plan failed, he wanted to get rid of them quickly, and ordered the whole city to be searched and killed. But ten days passed, and the last thing they were waiting for was that they had fled from Changling, and they were really angry that they couldn't eat, and in order to maintain their dignity and floating people's hearts, they had no choice but to announce that the rebels had been secretly executed.
After the news of Li Chengjing and Chen Zui's alliance came out, Song Bai and the others had even more trouble sleeping......
