Chapter 3 Becoming a Helper
A series of unexpected changes made Lu Yue a little confused.
If she is easily defeated by someone at the level of the world's five peerless, she has nothing to accept.
But Zhao Kong almost grew up watching her, and only stepped into the second-rate class a year ago.
At this moment, under the siege of her and Hu Xuan, Hu Xuan was smashed to the ground with three punches.
Even if it is Zhongshentong Wang Chongyang, it is impossible to suppress two first-class masters at the age of seventeen.
Zhao Kong didn't care if Lu Yue was stunned or stupid, under the full operation of Qingping Yufeng, he crossed seven or eight meters away in the blink of an eye and rushed in front of Lu Yue.
At the same time, the short blade in Zhao Kong's hand slashed towards Lu Yue's right hand holding the sword with a sharp sword aura.
Lu Yue was experienced in a hundred battles in the end, and the moment Zhao Kong rushed out, he adjusted.
The long sword in his hand trembled slightly, flashing a little cold star, and the latter rolled towards Zhao Kong's sword-holding hand.
This star connection style is the stunt of pressing the bottom of the box in the cold spirit swordsmanship that Lu Yue majored in.
Seeing Zhao Kong's almost overwhelming strength, she knew very well that if she dragged it down, she would definitely lose.
Therefore, Lu Yue did not hesitate to use the star connection style, in order to be able to win or lose with one sword.
But Zhao Kong's response once again exceeded her expectations.
Not caring at all about the inch-long and inch-strong Zhili, he slightly deflected the short blade in his hand and slashed straight at her long sword.
"Choke!"
The swords clashed, and Lu Yue felt her full force blow, as if she had hit a steel plate.
His entire right arm was shaken and weakened, and the long sword in his hand was also knocked away and fell under the high platform.
And Zhao Kong didn't have the slightest intention of pity and cherishing the jade, and directly kicked Lu Yue to the ground with a progressive kick.
Looking at Zhao Kong, who was standing proudly at this moment, the gang in the audience was silent.
Although the super light skills he displayed at the beginning have made some of the gang look at him differently.
But no one could have expected this competition to end so quickly.
From Zhao Kong's shot at Hu Xuan to Lu Yue's kicking to the ground, the whole process did not take more than a minute.
Even at this moment, Hu Xuan and Lu Yue stood up again.
But in front of hundreds of gangs, the two of them, who lost clearly in their own strengths, didn't have the face to entangle with Zhao Kong anymore.
Just when the two of them were embarrassed, Zhao Kong, who had a cold face, suddenly smiled.
"The two elders are important pillars of our gang, I am young and knowledgeable, and I will need the full help of the two in the future to make the Giant Whale Gang more brilliant and strong."
Hu Xuan and Lu Yue were slightly stunned at first, and then glanced at each other.
After a moment's hesitation, the two of them half-knelt down together.
If you fight, you will definitely not be able to win, Zhao Kong is the son of the previous gang leader, as long as he can subdue everyone in terms of strength, the successor gang leader is more justified than anyone else.
At this moment, Zhao Kong also gave them the stairs, if the two of them were unwilling to gamble and lose, then they really didn't know what to do.
"Hu Xuan (Lu Yue) see the helper."
Although Yan Dong under the high stage was unwilling, with the terrifying strength shown by Zhao Kong, let alone using him as a puppet, anyone who dared to underestimate him would probably be stoned to death with a punch.
Therefore, this treacherous and cunning guy, after Hu Xuan and Lu Yue bowed, he immediately followed and paid homage loudly.
"See the helper."
The rest of the elders and helpers, no matter what they thought, knelt down and shouted when they saw that the general situation had been decided.
For Zhao Kong, the young gang leader, to take over, most of the gang members are still relatively recognized.
The death of the father and the succession of the son are not only justified, but also avoid a senseless infighting.
Coupled with the strong strength shown by Zhao Kong, it also brings a certain sense of security to the middle and low-level gangs.
After all, the Giant Whale Gang is a gang, and the strength of the gang leader seriously affects the confidence of the entire gang and the pace of development.
For example, after Wang Chongyang won the title of the number one in the world, the Quanzhen Sect immediately developed into the number one sect in the world in a very short period of time, which is the power brought by the top powerhouses.
Zhao Kong, who didn't like to talk very much, simply encouraged the gang present, and then took the elders and hall masters back to the lobby to discuss the matter.
This time, Zhao Kong was still sitting on the top, still glancing down expressionlessly, still holding the teacup and not speaking, but he became the center of everyone present.
Even Hu Xuan, who had a frenzied temperament, waited for him to speak with a serious face.
Zhao Kong saw that the atmosphere was almost over, so he put down the teacup and said in a deep voice,
"On my way here today, I was blocked by the Six Koukou of the East China Sea, who took money from others and wanted to kill me."
Everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and Zhao Kong didn't wait for them to express his position, and spoke directly again.
"I chopped those six fools directly, and I didn't bother to interrogate who found them, whether it was our insiders or not, I only knew that it was the six Koukou of the East China Sea who wanted to kill me."
"These guys have been squatting on Zhoushan Island all year round, and they have a lot of relationships with several forces on the island, so they should be the pirates on Zhoushan Island, who want to kill me."
Looking at Zhao Kong's unchanged face pointing at the deer as a horse, most people were a little confused.
There are only Yan Dong and Lu Yue, who have some vague guesses, but they are just scaly claws, and they can't figure it out.
Zhao Kong smiled and continued to speak to everyone.
"The Giant Whale Gang has made a lot of money over the years, and there are more and more people who are red-eyed, we can rank in the top three in terms of income in the entire rivers and lakes, and it is difficult to say whether we can mix in the top ten in terms of strength."
"What's more troublesome is the government side, the officials are completely raising us as fat sheep, I estimate that the time for them to go under the knife is also fast, and if they continue to stay in Sanjiangkou, sooner or later they will be slaughtered and divided."
What Zhao Kong said, everyone in the hall knew it in their hearts, but some didn't think so.
The Giant Whale Gang has been inherited for nearly a hundred years, and has always been between the rivers and lakes and the court, and has already summed up a way to survive that suits them.
Although there are many strong people on the rivers and lakes, the Giant Whale Gang has to consider the attitude of the government.
Although the officials are more greedy, they are also afraid of forcing thousands of people in the Giant Whale Gang.
Zhao Kong roughly guessed their thoughts, shook his head and continued.
"This kind of thing can't be maintained forever, the more wealth we accumulate, the greater the danger, and there will always be someone who will take advantage of the wisdom and ignore it."
"I don't need to say the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit, the control of the government on Zhoushan Island is very low, and taking it can not only be used as a way out, but also transfer a lot of sensitive businesses to the island to reduce risks."
"And I've mastered a new method of making salt, and it's far more profitable than it is today, and if it were put on the shore, God knows how much of a mess it would have been."
Zhao Kong explained this, and most of the people present nodded.
They also know that money is attractive, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to reduce some troubles.
As for the new salt-making method that Zhao Kong said, they just listened to it.
Most people felt that Zhao Kong was exaggerating, but it was difficult to refute the face of the new gang leader, and they all laughed at it.
No matter what others thought, Yan Dong pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"Since you want to attack Zhoushan Island, then you have to justify it, and simply announce the assassination directly to all factions in the rivers and lakes at the succession ceremony of the gang leader, as long as the public opinion can stand, the strength of those pirates on the island is not to worry."
Speaking of this, Yan Dong paused for a moment, and seeing that Zhao Kong had no intention of objecting, he continued.
"But Zhoushan Island is quite close to Peach Blossom Island, I heard that those pirates on the island seem to have something to do with Peach Blossom Island, before we start, it's best to send someone to Peach Blossom Island to say hello and confirm the attitude of the East Evil."
Zhao Kong raised his head slightly and said: "I'll go and see Huang Yaoshi in person, we want to make some big moves in the East China Sea, and we can't avoid the pass of Peach Blossom Island." ”
The reality is different from the simplicity in the novel, although Huang Yaoshi has a somewhat transcendent temperament, but after all, he is not a real immortal, and he also needs to eat, drink, and live.
And Peach Blossom Island can be as beautiful as a fairy residence, and it also has to have a large number of people to take care of it.
Therefore, there are nearly 100 servants on the island alone, and the cost of maintaining the entire Peach Blossom Island is really not a small number.
Since the first Huashan sword debate, Dongxie has almost become recognized as the first person in Jiangnan martial arts.
This has little impact on the inland gangs, as long as they don't mess with Peach Blossom Island.
However, forces such as the Giant Whale Gang, the Haisha Gang, and Zhoushan Island, which are close to the East China Sea and rely on the sea for food, all send silver money to worship every year.
Don't ask this uncle to cover them, but don't be in a bad mood and vent their evil anger.
Therefore, it is not impossible for the Giant Whale Gang to move Zhoushan Island, but they must first say hello to Huang Yaoshi.
Otherwise, even if Huang Yaoshi didn't care much about those offerings, but this act of not giving him face would be forcing him to kill someone.
