Chapter 180: The Iron Rule (I)
Liu Laosan, as usual, sat on the boat and fished on the river.
Soon after, he noticed a figure beckoning to him on the shore, so he skillfully put away the rod, stood up, picked up the pole and began to hold the boat.
A small boat slowly sailed towards the shore.
After approaching the shore, Liu Laosan saw the person clearly:
Wearing a gray long coat, the fabric is excellent at a glance, and inside is a black dress of unknown style, which looks very young, has bright eyes, and has an indescribable temperament on his body, which looks very calm and calm.
"Are you going to cross the river?"
Liu Laosan opened his throat and shouted.
The young man on the shore nodded at him.
"Howler!"
Liu Laosan came to the spirit and leaned the boat to the shore.
He is a fisherman in the neighborhood, and in addition to fishing and fishing on the river on weekdays, he will also send people on both sides of the river to cross the river from time to time to earn some extra money.
Today, this young man looks like he is not bad for money, and Liu Laosan feels that he can ask for more.
The two sides quickly negotiated the price, and as Liu Laosan thought, the other party really did not make a counteroffer, which was very refreshing, which made Liu Laosan smile a little more, thinking about saving some more money, this year's New Year, at least the whole family will not starve.
"Old man, I'm from the north, and I heard that there was a big battle here a year ago, what happened to the result?"
The young man with an extraordinary bearing suddenly asked.
Liu Laosan was stunned and subconsciously said:
"A year ago, this place was turned upside down, those rakshasas."
Speaking of this, his face changed suddenly, he glanced at the other party cautiously, and changed his words:
"The Heavenly Army later won the Shenzhou Army."
"Celestial Army?"
"Yes, the Heavenly Army, hahaha."
"So Pearl City is now occupied by the Eastern Navy?"
"Yes, Pearl City is under the control of the Heavenly Army."
Liu Laosan sneered.
Then he saw the young man turn his head to look at the river in the distance, and his eyes seemed to be a little sad.
The rest of the way was silent, and the other party didn't ask any more questions.
After arriving on the other side of the river, the young man took off his gray coat and handed it to Liu Laosan:
"Old man, I'm sorry, I didn't bring any money with me, this dress is for you, the fare for the boat."
"This"
Liu Laosan was stupid all of a sudden, after all, he was still a fisherman with a simple temperament, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse:
"I can't help it, little brother, your clothes are very expensive at first glance, and you can use them as at least a few silver dollars when you take them to a pawnshop, this can't do it, this can't work."
But the young man could not refuse, smiled and shoved his coat into his hand, and then turned away.
Obviously, he was just walking with simple steps, but in the blink of an eye, the other party disappeared from Liu Laosan's field of vision.
"I've met a strange person."
Liu Laosan looked ahead and muttered.
This young brother who didn't bring money was naturally Zhao Yan, and the conversation with Liu Laosan made him understand that this area of Pearl City was now under the control of the Eastern Navy.
It turned out that the final result of that battle was still the defeat of the Shenzhou Army, even if Zhao Yan killed the commander of the Eastern Navy and killed so many officers, he could not change the overall situation, and Pearl City was finally lost.
What happened to Lin Shu, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy?
What happened to Chen Tingshan, the 'first hand in the world' who instructed him?
Is the Huaquan Club left by Hou Qi still there?
Is 'Luohan' Lu Gu still alive?
Zhao Yan had a lot of worries in his heart, so he decided to enter Pearl City to have a look and inquire about the news.
After walking briskly for dozens of miles, he approached a checkpoint on the outskirts of Pearl City.
Several Donghai soldiers wearing dark green military uniforms and carrying guns on their backs stood guard at the checkpoint, checking on passers-by.
Zhao Yan naturally didn't go up to let these East China Sea soldiers check, and he didn't plan to kill these East China Sea soldiers, but just used his body technique, like a strong wind passing through the post, without attracting anyone's attention, and instantly swept through this level.
He soon entered the Pearl City.
Walking on the streets of this bustling city again, Zhao Yan can clearly feel that Pearl City is much more depressed than in the past, there are almost no people on the streets, and there are closed shops everywhere.
Not only that, Zhao Yan also saw the ruins blown out by shells in some places, and there were uneven craters on the ground.
Zhao Yan felt that the city was dead, it was no longer the pearl of the Eastern Continent, just a city that had been plagued by artillery fire and war.
Following the route in his memory, Zhao Yan came to an alley and stood outside a gate.
This was once a stronghold of the Huaquan Club, where Zhao Yan once practiced boxing with Hou Qi.
But at this time, even if he didn't push the door in, Zhao Yan could sense that there was no one inside.
Brush –
Zhao Yan easily climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the courtyard.
After carefully searching in the house, he didn't see the code left by the Huaquan Club, so Zhao Yan had no choice but to leave.
Unable to contact the Huaquan Club, Zhao Yan couldn't find a suitable partner to inquire about the news for a while, so he could only walk around Pearl City aimlessly.
More than an hour later, Zhao Yan took the initiative to walk into a dead end, then turned around and stood in place and waited quietly.
Soon, two men wearing short shirts, tattoos on their bodies, and fierce faces walked over.
The two of them were a little surprised when they saw Zhao Yan standing in place with a calm face, and then one of them took out a dagger from his waist with a fierce look in his eyes:
"Boy, hand over all the valuable things on your body!"
Obviously, Zhao Yan was regarded as a 'fat sheep' by the two of them, so they followed him all the way.
Brush –
The two of them saw a flower in front of them, they didn't see anything clearly, the one with the knife was already lying on the ground, and the dagger in his hand had already reached Zhao Yan's hand.
Zhao Yan stood on top of the other man, two fingers pinching the blade of the dagger.
Syllable!
I don't see how hard he strained, and the blade broke in two!
Seeing this scene, the man who was still standing immediately knelt down towards Zhao Yan:
"Heroes spare their lives! I don't know Tarzan with my eyes."
"Less nonsense, I ask, you answer."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
“.”
After a while, Zhao Yan figured out the origin of the two, who were peripheral members of the local 'Qinghu Gang', and they were not popular characters.
The Qinghu Gang used to be the largest gang in Pearl City.
Later, the 'Eastern Prince' Ji Wanqing founded the Dongwang Gang, which overwhelmed the momentum of the Qinghu Gang and topped the name of the other party's No. 1 gang.
However, Ji Wanqing was killed by Zhao Yan, and the 'Dongwang Gang' quickly fell apart, and now the number one gang in Pearl City has become the Qinghu Gang again.
"Take me to your boss."
Zhao Yan said to the two of them simply and clearly.
The Qinghu Gang should know the news he wants to know, and maybe he can use this to contact the people of the Shanghua Boxing Club.
"Master Zhang, my Qinghu Gang has always respected your Huaquan Club, and I admire what Grandmaster Hou and Wu Daxia did, so I tolerate it everywhere and don't want to clash with the heroes of the Huaquan Club."
In a splendid hall, a middle-aged man wearing a red Tang costume with a gloomy temperament sat on the sofa and spoke.
There were three people standing behind him, all of them had long breaths, strong muscles and bones, and they were obviously martial artists who had achieved cultivation.
Sitting across from him was a man in a teal robe who looked like Mr. Teach.
The man with a yin temperament is named Hu Liang, and he is now the leader of the Qinghu Gang, the largest gang in Pearl City.
The man who sat across from him was named Zhang Weizhi, a boxer from the Huaquan Club.
Today, Hu Liang came to Zhang Weizhi for negotiation, or bribery.
"Master Zhang, I know that the Huaquan Club is having a hard time now, and you need money everywhere, so I have prepared a gift for you."
The words fell, and two people immediately came in outside the door carrying a heavy box, put the box in front of Zhang Weizhi, and then opened it-
The chest is full of silver dollars!
Zhang Weizhi glanced at the box full of silver dollars, calmly looked at Hu Liang, and said slowly:
"Does Gang Master Hu know whose place you occupy now used to be?"
Hu Liang narrowed his eyes, a little dissatisfied with Zhang Weizhi's attitude.
"It is the president of the Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce, Xie Shousheng and President Xie's industry."
Zhang Weizhi said to himself.
Xie Shousheng is the most legendary businessman in Pearl City in the past 30 years, a spokesman in the business community of Pearl City, and the richest man in Pearl City.
But before the Eastern Navy entered Pearl City, he gave up the industry he had worked hard for all his life and moved his family south.
"Most of President Xie's wealth is in this Pearl City, and there are people from all walks of life who rely on him for food, if he chooses to stay and not leave, even if the Eastern Navy enters the city, in order to pacify Pearl City as quickly as possible and maintain a stable rear, they will definitely not move people like President Xie, but will treat President Xie as a guest. With President Xie's methods, maybe we can take this to the next level. If that's the case, you don't have such a beautiful situation now. ”
Zhang Weizhi continued.
Although Hu Liang was unhappy in his heart, he had to admit that the other party was right.
Now that the Eastern Navy is willing to reuse him, it just wants to use the Qinghu Gang to better manage Pearl City, and if Xie Shousheng is still there, with the other party's means and the influence of the Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce, the Qinghu Gang will not be so valued.
"What does Master Zhang want to say? Let's put it bluntly. ”
Hu Liang looked at each other.
Zhang Weizhi smiled faintly:
"Before President Xie left Pearl City, he donated a large number of silver dollars, gold, and jewelry that were convenient to carry to the Shenzhou Army free of charge, and the remaining antiques, treasures, calligraphy and paintings that were inconvenient to transport away were all destroyed! Someone persuaded him at the beginning, he said that if the Eastern Navy wanted to enter the city, he would rather not leave a single tile to the other party! It's a pity that some things can't be destroyed, such as the building that the Hu gang leader now occupies. ”
The building where the two are located used to be the headquarters of the Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce.
Hu Liang laughed: "I know that the Huaquan Club had a lot of relationship with the Mingcheng Chamber of Commerce at the beginning, and now that I occupy this building, I also want to make friends with Huaquan." Master Zhang, I am very sincere. ”
Zhang Weizhi didn't even glance at the box on the side, and looked directly at Hu Liang:
"At the beginning, Chairman Xie sat in your current position, and he was willing to give all his net worth, just to invite 'Shura', the number one killer in Pearl City, to assassinate Hideki Hoshino, the commander of the Eastern Navy. Later, 'Shura' only took a silver dollar from Chairman Xie, and then infiltrated the headquarters without hesitation and assassinated Hideki Hoshino! ”
"Oh?"
Hu Liang was stunned.
He didn't expect such a story to happen here.
"If Gang Leader Hu can do the same thing, my Hua Boxing Club will naturally be willing to become friends with the Qinghu Gang."
Zhang Weizhi said.
Hu Liang narrowed his eyes.
The same thing?
Take out all your net worth and invite the boxers of the Huaquan Club to assassinate important people in the Eastern Navy?
Of course, Hu Liang knows that the focus is not on all his net worth, but on his attitude.
If he is really willing to do this, it is very likely that the Huaquan Club will be the same as 'Shura', and he will only need a silver dollar.
"Master Zhang said this, it seems that he doesn't want to be friends with my Qinghu Gang."
Hu Liang sighed.
Now that the Qinghu Gang has completely surrendered to the Eastern Navy, relying on the Eastern Navy to become the largest force in Pearl City, how can it be against the Eastern Navy?
"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other. That being the case, there's nothing to talk about. ”
Zhang Weizhi restrained his smile and prepared to get up and leave.
"Wait."
Hu Liang stopped the other party.
Zhang Weizhi looked at him: "What else does Gang Master Hu have to advise?" ”
Hu Liangyin's face had a touch of coldness, staring at Zhang Weizhi:
"Since the Huaquan Club is unwilling to be friends with my Qinghu Gang, then you have to settle the account of killing my brothers in the gang before."
Zhang Weizhi's gaze also cooled, and he glanced at the three martial artists standing behind Hu Liang:
"What does Gang Master Hu want to calculate?"
"From today on, the people of your Hua Boxing Club will withdraw from Pearl City, and if you don't make a move in Pearl City from now on, I will act as if nothing happened before."
Hu Liang said coldly.
Zhang Weizhi looked at him: "What if I say no?" ”
This time Hu Liang didn't speak, and a man standing behind him snorted coldly, looked at Zhang Weizhi and sneered:
"Hou Qidu is dead, and Wu Weiguo doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, what qualifications do you have in the Huaquan Club to say no?"
Naturally, there are masters of the Qinghu Gang, but they are still a little worse than the Huaquan Club, but what they really rely on is not themselves, but the Eastern Navy stationed here, and the evil masters and celestials of the Eastern Dragon Society.
If Hou Qi is still there, or if he kills Hoshino Hideki, and Wu Weiguo of the headquarters is still there, the Qinghu Gang will naturally not dare to talk to the Huaquan Club like this.
But now that the Huaquan community has no leader, there is no master who can deter the Quartet, and the deterrent power is much smaller.
In Pearl City, the Eastern Navy is overwhelmed by everything, and no one can resist, this is the iron rule!
Today's Huaquan Club does not have the strength to fight against this iron rule, so it is not qualified to say no.
But Zhang Weizhi did not back down.
The Huaquan Club has sacrificed so many people and paid so many prices, and it is not used to back down.
"Even if there is only one person left in the Huaquan Club, my answer will not change today!"
Zhang Weizhi looked directly at Hu Liang and said word by word.
Hu Liang shook his head and said no more.
The three boxers behind him walked towards Zhang Weizhi with killing intent and surrounded him.
Zhang Weizhi was not afraid to put on a boxing fight.
These three boxers are all in the realm of double tricks, and if he is against him alone, he still has a chance of winning. But with one enemy and three enemies, he may have to confess here today.
Bang!!!!
Just as a few people were about to make a move, a loud noise suddenly came from downstairs.
At this moment, Zhang Weizhi and the three boxers all had a sense of trembling.
This is the intuition of a warrior, like a beast encountering a beast in the jungle that is much stronger than itself.
Even if the beast has not yet shown its figure, just the sound coming from afar is enough to make people's hair stand on end, and they are afraid!
