Sun Cheng replied: "Okay, my royal family has all agreed to your conditions, but don't hurt the second lady of my family." ”

Li Yanqing said: "Please rest assured about this." Everything is evidenced by the written evidence. ”

Sun Chengdao: "Okay, then let's talk about the handover of the hall in detail now." ”

Li Yanqing nodded in agreement.

When the conversation was over, and the two sides were about to sign and draw, Liu Rong next to him stopped Li Yanqing and whispered: "Elder Li, how do I feel that things are going too smoothly." ”

Li Yanqing came back to his senses at this time, watched Sun Cheng sign the note, thought about it, patted Liu Rong on the shoulder and said, "Brother Liu, don't worry, I have my own measure." After speaking, he also signed his name on the note.

In the end, the two sides reached a consensus, and they both raised their glasses with satisfaction and worked together.

Sun Cheng hurriedly took people back to the city to report.

Li Yanqing and Liu Rong said: "Today's negotiations are too smooth, I'm afraid there is fraud in it, you take people back first, and I will go into the city to explore." ”

Liu Rong said, "It's okay, Elder Li should be careful. After saying that, he took the people and left first.

Li Yanqing led a few people to the city.

Besides, Li Yanqing and Zhao Tong were ordered by the gang leader Shi Yuntian to lead more than 100 brothers to rush to Ezhou and quickly contact the helmsman Liu Rong. Liu Rong arranged them in a hidden place outside the city and briefed the two elders on the recent situation of the rudder.

After Li Yanqing and Zhao Tong listened to Liu Rong's introduction, they were also indignant in their hearts and hated the meanness of the royal family. It's just that it's hard to compete with it now, and you can only sigh.

Zhao Tongzui was first-class, and when he saw that everyone was a little discouraged, he comforted everyone and said: "Brothers, we are late and let everyone suffer these days." ”

After hearing this warm sentence, everyone was in a little more emotional, and continued to listen to him.

Zhao Tong said again: "Since the Shi gang leader heard that the Wang Gate had attacked the Ezhou rudder, he has been thinking about his brothers day and night, and he has long wanted to lead his brothers to avenge everyone. It's just that he has just succeeded to the throne, and there are many things in the gang, so he really can't get out of it, so he sent me and Elder Li to bring people to find the royal gate to recapture the hall occupied by them, and let out a bad breath for the brothers. ”

When everyone heard such encouraging words, their blood immediately boiled, and they shouted loudly: "The Aoki Gang is mighty, the Stone Gang Leader is wise, the Aoki Gang is mighty, and the Stone Gang Leader is wise." ”

Zhao Tong waved his hand and said to everyone: "Since everyone has finally gotten together, let's have a big meal of good wine and food here today, firstly, to reward everyone's recent hardships, and secondly, it can be regarded as a pick-up for our brothers who are at the helm, what do you say?"

The brothers below all said, "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the elders." ”

Zhao Daodao: "Okay, then everyone will eat and drink happily, and when the spies come back tomorrow, we will go to fight with the king." ”

Everyone shouted together, "My subordinates are willing to obey the two elders." ”

Zhao Daodao: "Then everyone will sit down, let go of their stomachs and eat casually, and let's have a good drink together today." With that, he sat down with everyone to drink and chat.

Li Yanqing watched from the side, and he could only follow him to mess around for one night.

In the next few days, under the leadership of Zhao Tong, Li Yanqing, and Liu Rong, the Aoki Gang attacked the royal gate several times, but they all returned in vain.

The so-called soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. It turned out that the royal family had been prepared for a long time, and did not let the Aoki Gang bargain for any money, which really surprised the brothers of the Aoki Gang.

On that day they were in their rooms and took great counsel about great things.

At this time, a spy ran in from outside, walked up to Liu Rong, and said something close to his ear.

After Liu Rong heard this, he beckoned the spies to go down, and said to the two elders: "Just now, the spies came to report, saying that they found that the royal gate has been recruiting a large number of troops and horses recently, hoarding rice and grain, and I don't know what to do. ”

After Li Yanqing heard this, he guessed: "Are they still going to attack my Luoyang helm?"

Zhao Tong said with a smile: "It's not surprising that it's really attacking the general rudder, after all, the current power of the royal gate in Ezhou is too great." ”

Liu Rong said angrily: "Whatever, let's do it first." ”

Li Yanqing said: "No, they have hoarded so much money and food, there must be some conspiracy, at this time, we must not use eggs and stones to collide." ”

Zhao Tong also said, "Elder Li is right, we might as well go for a tentative assault first, see their reactions, and then make the next step." ”

Liu Rong took over the task of assault at the moment and said, "Okay, I am willing to lead my brothers to assault the royal gate." ”

The two elders knew that he hated the royal family to the core, and they were right.

But Liu Rong attacked the royal gate, and the royal gate was still blocked by soldiers, and the water came to cover it, and there was no big move.

Subsequently, Li Yanqing analyzed the current situation and suggested that he temporarily abandon the attack on the wharf and the Sifang Restaurant, and go all out to attack the fish market, which is relatively far away.

Zhao Tong and Liu Rong felt justified and agreed.

I didn't know that the plan couldn't catch up with the change, and in the afternoon of this day, a person suddenly came from the chief helm, claiming to be a messenger to the two elders on the order of the helper.

When everyone heard that it was someone sent by the chief helmsman, they hurriedly got up to meet them.

Li Yanqing saw that there were two letters, so he opened one casually, and saw that the content of the letter was probably like this.

Elder Wang inadvertently caught Wang Min, the second lady of the royal gate, and after discussing with the two elders, he decided to use her as a hostage to exchange the three halls that had been taken away from the royal gate, hoping that the two elders would take this important task to negotiate with the royal gate. The letter was followed by the seal of the helper and Shi Yuntian's signature.

The other letter was addressed to Liu Rong, the helmsman of the division. I saw that the letter wrote: "Because of his lack of talent and virtue, the Shi gang leader was willing to step down from the position of the gang leader and appointed Ye Hongchong as the new gang leader. Ye was thanked by the Shi Gang Leader for his love, and from today he succeeded as the Aoki Gang Leader, and while he was grateful to the Shi Gang Leader, he was also very afraid. I hope that all the helmsmen can continue to support Ye Someone like the leader of the Shi Gang, and I, Ye Hongchong, will definitely live up to the trust, and will definitely lead the brothers to carry forward the Aoki Gang and shock the martial arts. Ye Hongchong is here to thank you. The letter was also stamped with the seal of the helper and Ye Hongchong's signature.

After Liu Rong and everyone read the content of the letter, they were all furious and surprised.

Liu Rong scolded angrily on the spot: "What a shameless Ye Hongchong, he actually took advantage of the two elders to come to Ezhou, but he brought people to rebel, I was really angry." ”

Of course, Zhao Tong knew Ye Hongchong's ambitions, but he was unwilling to show his attitude here, so as not to be retaliated against by Ye Hongchong in the future, so he said with a smile: "Lord Liu Duo is serious, Ye Hongchong has the courage to rebel, maybe there is something else hidden in it?"

Liu Rong hurriedly said: "What else is hidden, who doesn't know that he Ye Hongchong has wolf ambitions, as early as when Jia was the leader, he was planning to seize the throne." Now while the stone gang leader has not yet stood firm, he gathered Wang Shipeng to rebel together. It's a pity that the Shi Gang Master is loyal, it's really not worth it for him. ”

Zhao Tong hurriedly walked over and whispered to him: "Master Liu, pay attention to what you say, don't let the brothers outside hear it, otherwise it will cause a big disaster." ”

Liu Rong glanced at Li Yanqing again, only to see him nodding and giving himself a look, he knew the seriousness of the matter, and he stopped speaking nonsense.

Zhao Tong asked Li Yanqing again: "Brother Li, in your opinion, what should I do now?"

When Li Yanqing was arguing, he had already had his own plans, so he said: "No matter whether Ye Hongchong's matter is true or not, we must unite as one, and we can't let the brothers kill each other." ”

The duo agreed with him.

Li Yanqing continued: "But our grievances with the royal family cannot be settled. I think we should send someone to inform the royal family and negotiate with him as soon as possible. Waiting for the people from the royal gate to come to us, Brother Liu Rong and I will go to the royal gate to negotiate and exchange the affairs of the hall, and Brother Zhao will wait at home to rest, and then act at the opportunity, I don't know what you think?"

Zhao Tong saw that he could avoid Liu Rong, which was exactly what he wanted, so he hurriedly agreed.

And Liu Rong saw Elder Li arrange it like this, although he was unhappy, but he knew that he was relied on by Shi Yuntian, so he could only respond stubbornly: "That's the only way." ”

The three of them suppressed the major event of the change of ownership of the helm, and according to the set plan, they went to work separately.

Li Yanqing pulled Liu Rong and said, "You go back quickly and inform Elder Zhao to immediately take someone to the fish market in case they change." ”

Liu Rong said: "Okay, I'll go back." ”

Li Yanqing took the rest of his brothers and said, "Everyone follows me into the city." ”

Liu Rong came back and told Zhao Tong about the negotiation in the outer building, and also said that Elder Li asked him to take people to the fish market quickly.

Zhao Tong no longer hesitated, and immediately said, "Okay, Master Liu, then I'll take my brothers to take a step first." So he led the people to the fish market.

When he came to the fish market, he hid in the shadows and saw the people in the market trembling and the business was booming. He silently sneered in his heart: "What a king, robbed our Aoki Gang's fish market, and now he has made a lot of money, let you all spit it out to me today." ”

I saw him turn his head to the man behind him: "In a moment, you all rush up and give me all the fish and pour them all into the river." ”

The crowd listened to the order, lifted the knife in their hand, rushed out, grabbed the fish in their pockets and poured it into the river while they were unprepared.

When the Taibao, who had already patrolled the royal gate, found out, he immediately shouted.

Soon, the two sides fought, and the fish market became chaotic.

Zhao Tong saw that the two sides had already exchanged hands, so he hurriedly swaggered out, destroying the momentum, and fighting when he saw the people of the royal gate.

He made a golden flute in his hand, and when the pleasure was over, he jumped to a high platform, and played the flute with his temperament, and the sound of the flute was like a devil's dance, and it shook people's headaches and misery.

Immediately, someone recognized him as Zhao Tong, the elder of the Aoki Gang, and hurriedly shouted: "The people from the Aoki Gang are here, go and report to Senior Brother Jin." ”

Some people took advantage of the chaos and ran back to report the news.

It didn't take long for a sturdy, well-looking young man with an eight-foot spear in his hand to lead a group of people. It turned out that this person was the wine Jie Jinkun of the four jewels of the royal family.
