Xiao Wensheng observed coldly, as the Zhiduoxing of the Jade Ding Dart Bureau, he was very puzzled by Lan Jingyu's behavior at the moment, when the third brother Hong Guangrui fell into the discord of others to fight the Upper Dragon Gang, Lan Jingyu judged his performance when he was detained and what he saw today.

What made this Lan chief helmsman change his original attitude and treat Hong Sanye as a guest to eat and drink well, and even the previous compensation of 30,000 taels of silver was never mentioned?

When Lan Jingyu mentioned the matter of the Dongting Conference electing the leader of the alliance, Xiao Wensheng finally understood his intentions.

Sure enough, when Tang Tianlong asked about his plan, Lan Jingyu coughed dryly and said: "The Yuding Dart Bureau is famous all over the world, and Mr. Tang's dart head is also famous in the rivers and lakes, Lan means that the Dragon Gang and the Gui Dart Bureau can form an alliance on this, and if the Dongting Conference in three days later can get the help of the Gui Dart Bureau, Lan will not be very honored." ”

When Tang Tianlong heard this, how could he not know his intentions, so he pretended to be silent for a while, and Yan Wuxiu on the side couldn't hold it back, and said hehe: "What does the Lan gang leader mean is that you set up a stage, let our brothers accompany us to sing, and recommend you to be the leader of the alliance?"

The corners of Lan Jingyu's mouth raised, and Yuan Tianqi, the head of the nine-fingered Dao on the seat, suddenly said: "Fifth Master Yan, that's not what you said, I think everyone knows that a powerful force of unknown origin has recently appeared in the rivers and lakes, from the north and south to the provinces, there have been cases of robbery of darts and silver and red goods, if we don't join forces again, will we just sit back and wait for death?"

Xiao Wensheng was afraid that Yan Wuxiu would say something inappropriate again, so he hurriedly interjected: "Daoist Yuan's words are very reasonable, the Jade Ding Dart Bureau has no intention of competing for the alliance leader this time, since the Lan Chief Helmsman has this initiative, our brothers are willing to hear about it." Saying that, Chong Yan Wuxiu winked, meaning to ask him to stop talking.

Xiao Wensheng calculated in his heart that although the power of the Youlong Gang was huge, it was known as the Nine Gang and Thirteen Rudders along the coast of Dongting Lake for hundreds of miles, and it would be very difficult for him to become the leader of the alliance, so he tried every means to win people's hearts and strengthen his strength. For the Jade Ding Dart Bureau, it doesn't matter which of you is the leader of the alliance, the most important thing is that the 30,000 taels of silver that he stook this time are still in his hands, and now since you want to use us to help, then take this opportunity to get the 30,000 taels of silver back.

Tang Tianlong knew that Xiao Wensheng was resourceful, and it was estimated that he had a plan in his heart, so he didn't say anything for the time being, and acted according to Xiao Wensheng's intentions.

Lan Jingyu listened to Xiao Wensheng's words and was really useful, but on the surface, he said quietly: "You don't know, among the nine gangs and thirteen rudders along the coast of Dongting Lake, the only one who can compete with my Youlong Gang is the Changle Gang in Miluo, which has been very unhappy for business matters for a long time. ”

Xiao Wensheng deliberately frowned when he heard his words: "As far as I know, the strength of the Changle Gang is far inferior to that of the Gui Gang, I'm afraid the Blue Gang Leader is a little worried, right?"

Yuan Tianqi waved his hand on one side and said: "Fourth Master Xiao doesn't know, last year, You Gon, the leader of the Changle Gang, married his daughter to Feng Qi, the eldest son of the owner of Hanyan Villa, and now with the backer of Hanyan Villa, You Gon's confidence is not a little bit more than in the past." ”

Xiao Wensheng suddenly said: "So that's the case, it seems that the Changle Gang You Gang Leader has a lot of ambitions." ”

Lan Jingyu bowed slightly: "In the past half a year, the Changle Gang has annexed three or four gangs in the Miluo area, according to reliable information, You Gon is in contact with Mujiabao, if they get the help of the Mujiabao Mu family, it will be tantamount to adding wings to the tiger." ”

Xiao Wensheng knew in his heart that the two major water gangs, the Youlong Gang and the Changle Gang, could occupy Dongting for a long time, and had thousands of gangs to monopolize the water and land transportation business, and they must be inextricably linked with the government, otherwise how could Yueyang Mansion connive at such two powerful forces to run rampant under their noses? If they couldn't find out the details of each of them and make a wrong move, the Yuding Dart Bureau wouldn't do business in Huguang in the future.

The best strategy is naturally to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and neither side can be offended, but now Lan Jingyu has made it clear that he will let the Yuding Dart Bureau choose a side, and at this time he promised to join the camp of the Youlong Gang, and he will immediately be the enemy of the Changle Gang and the Cold Smoke Villa.

Xiao Wensheng groaned slightly, sighed heavily, and said: "Since the helmsman of Mr. Lan did not regard my brothers as outsiders, Xiao might as well tell him frankly, for a month, the Yuding Dart Bureau has encountered a lot of trouble on the dart road in the north and south of Zhili and the provinces, and it can be said that it has suffered heavy losses and suffered a lot of vitality. ”

Lan Jingyu nodded slightly when he heard this, and said: "Lan Mou empathizes with the difficulties of the Gui Dart Bureau, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation, I will not take a penny of the 30,000 taels of silver brought by the Gui Dart Bureau this time, and return all of them, I don't know what the leaders think?"

The brothers of the Jade Ding Dart Bureau glanced at each other, except for Xiao Wensheng, who was confident, the other four were surprised.

Tang Tianlei couldn't hold it back, and when he heard that Lan Jingyu was going to return all the 30,000 taels of silver, he immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Righteousness, true righteousness! Since Chief Lan is so sincere, what else do my brothers have to say." ”

Xiao Wensheng didn't expect the second brother to express his stance so quickly, and he couldn't say anything for a while.

As soon as Tang Tianlei's words fell, Yan Wuxiu also patted his chair and stood up and said: "What the second brother said is extremely true, just rush to the heart of the Blue Gang Leader, and the Jade Ding Dart Bureau should do its best to help." ”

Shi Donglai, the second leader of the Flying Dragon Dart Bureau, who had been silent, also got up and hugged his fists at this time and said: "The Flying Dragon Dart Bureau is only the blue chief helmsman!"

Lan Jingyu was overjoyed, slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "Okay!" immediately ordered his subordinates to set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for the brothers.

Long Shiqiu on the roof outside heard everything that happened in the hall clearly, but he never saw Tang Shiyao's figure, and he was wondering, when suddenly a black shadow on the roof not far in front of him passed through the courtyard wall like an arrow from the string.

Long Shiqiu was suspicious in his heart, and chased after him with a few ups and downs.

The figure of the black shadow in front of him was extremely fast, and Long Shiqiu didn't dare to get too close, just followed him from a distance. Seeing that the black shadow was moving faster and faster, it finally left the road and dodged into the dense forest on the side.

Long Shiqiu was bold, and he used the moonlight to distinguish the direction, and showed his body to follow the dense forest.

It was pitch black in front of him, and there was a sudden flash of fire in front of Long Shiqiu, and the black shadow stood on a big rock not far away, holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, standing with his back to himself.

Long Shiqiu's eyesight was so sharp, and he could tell at a glance from his clothes and back that this person was the young man in sackcloth he saw in the Drunken Immortal Building today.

"Your Excellency's light work is the best I've ever seen. This person turned his back to Long Shiqiu, and his voice was as cold as ice.

Long Shiqiu secretly admired this person's alertness, he had followed carefully enough, and he was still discovered.

At this point, Long Shiqiu also walked out generously, sighed and said, "My friend's posture is also very good. ”

The young man in Mai said lightly: "As far as I know, there are only five people in the rivers and lakes who have reached such a state of light function, and unfortunately, you are not among these five people." ”

Long Shiqiu said: "So you want to know who I am." ”

The Mai young man turned around, glanced at him and said: "It is said that in recent years, there has been a friend surnamed Long in the rivers and lakes, this person's martial arts moves are not from the Central Plains Martial Arts, his internal martial arts originate from the Western Regions Tantra, and the moves are very similar to the Dongying Ninjutsu. ”

Long Shiqiu didn't expect this person to tell his origin and martial arts origin as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but feel shocked, it seemed that this person had already noticed himself in the Drunken Immortal Building, and deduced his identity in Xiaoyin's conversation with him.

Who is it that has so much information?

Thinking of the word "intelligence", Long Shiqiu suddenly had an epiphany.

"It turned out that my friend was from the government. Long Shiqiu sighed and said, "I should have thought of it earlier. ”

The young man in Mai inserted the torch into the crack in the stone, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and slowly took out a token from his arms.

Even if Long Shiqiu couldn't read the handwriting on the token clearly, he already knew from the shape and size that the three largest words on the sign in his hand were engraved "Jinyiwei!"

The young man in Mai did not shy away from saying coldly: "One of the twelve secret envoys of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies under the command of Jinyi Wei, the envoy of the monkey brand - Ye Yun." ”

As a special institution with absolute power, Jinyiwei has long been above the law and has the privilege of transcending the "three divisions" and can arrest anyone at any time and anywhere. In recent years, although the West Factory has long been destroyed, Jinyiwei is still overshadowed by the East Factory, so Jinyiwei secretly set up twelve secret envoys in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, with the twelve zodiac secret orders as tokens, these twelve secret envoys are not subordinate to any Jinyi Wei organization, but directly appointed and assigned tasks by the highest commander "Jinyi Wei Commander".

What is even more surprising is that none of the twelve emissaries know each other's identities unless they reveal a token showing their special identity.

Since the young man in Mai dared to reveal his identity in front of him, it was obvious that he knew everything about himself.

Long Shiqiu sighed, took out something from his belt and held it in his hand, and said lightly: "The Jinyi Guard commands the twelve secret envoys of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the Dragon Commander - Long Shiqiu!"

A cold wind blew and almost blew out the torches.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird, Long Shiqiu and Ye Yun looked at each other for a long time, and Ye Yun suddenly said, "It seems that we are here for the same purpose." ”

Long Shiqiu nodded and said, "I just arrived in Yueyang, and many things are still not clear. ”

Ye Yun pulled out his torch, glanced at Long Shiqiu and said, "I know that there is a place where there is still wine to drink at this time. ”

"You want to invite me to drink?" Long Shiqiu said.

Ye Yun said expressionlessly: "I am a poor man who can only afford to eat steamed buns, of course you are in for a treat." ”
