Chapter 52: Be a lobbyist

Leng Yuhu quickly pushed the window to look out, and several people had already walked into the cabin, holding a bright long knife in their hands, and were about to slash at a few sleeping boats in the cabin. Leng Yuhu didn't have time to save him, he shouted, threw the folding fan in his hand forward, and threw it on the chest of a person, and the person was startled, and at this startled moment, Leng Yuhu jumped into the front cabin of the ship. Seeing that he was unarmed, those people swung their knives at him together, Leng Yuhu didn't have time to dodge, so he had to jump over, break through the canopy, his body fell, his toes were a little on the canopy, and then fell on the side of the boat. Those few rushed out, Leng Yuhu picked up an oar and slapped it at the comer, the comer used a knife to block, but Leng Yuhu made a false move, the oar made an arc, slammed forward, and knocked the person into the water.

There was a sound of falling into the water, and a sleeping boat suddenly woke up, and when it saw the enemy, it shouted and screamed, and the boats in the cabin woke up. When Leng Yuhu took advantage of the enemy's stunned moments, another oar slammed forward, and another person fell into the water. These people are the group of people who came during the day, they know that Leng Yuhu is powerful, if they fall in love, they can't get any bargains, and the remaining few people immediately jumped ashore and ran away.

If it weren't for Leng Yuhu's timely rescue, these boats would have been killed in their dreams, and this time they had no sleep, so they had to sit in the cabin and wait for the dawn. Seeing this, Leng Yuhu went into the cabin and went to sleep.

The next day, these boats treated Leng Yuhu as a heavenly god and waited carefully. After walking for two days, they had reached the end of Huai'an, the cargo ship docked, and Leng Yuhu and Zhao Yu were going to hire another ship to go down to Yangzhou. These boats had to take Leng Yuhu to the headquarters of the Canal Gang, and wanted to meet the gang leader to thank him for saving his life several times.

Leng Yuhu had no choice but to follow them to the Canal Gang, which was a place outside the city of Huai'an Mansion, and there were more than a dozen houses in the distance, which showed that the Canal Gang was wealthy. Walked closer, the façade is not big, walked in, do not want to inside but very spacious, the house is neat, there are a few old trees growing in the courtyard, the ground is level, there are three rooms in front, the heavy eaves fly pavilion, the momentum is magnificent, in order to show the prestige of the canal gang. Those boats walked into the room with Leng Yuhu, the hall inside was magnificent, and there were a few gang members sitting on the black lacquered chairs, and there was no sound. There is a huge picture of Guan Gong painted in the middle hall, and the helper is sitting in front of the painting, and he can be seen from afar with a sallow face, leaning on the seat.

Zhouzi stepped forward to pay homage to the gang leader and told him that the Hongze Gang had killed his brothers, and he chased them all the way, but fortunately, Leng Yuhu saved them several times. The helper stood up with the support of others, thanked Leng Yuhu, Leng Yuhu thanked him, and sat on a chair on the side, and Zhao Yu had several women led to the inner hall to rest.

The deputy gang leader on the opposite side said: "The two gangs have made peace, and there are always people from the Hongze Gang who come to hunt down and kill our gang, is there any misunderstanding in it?"

The gang leader said weakly: "That Hongze Gang lives on fishing, it is a small gang, a poor gang, and it has long wanted to beat the idea of our gang, what is so strange about them picking quarrels and making trouble?"

A few people chimed in: "We are still afraid that they will help us, and we will kill them again." ”

The deputy gang leader's surname is Liu, and he is relatively calm: "Killing and killing, they are all killing poor brothers, let's send someone to make peace." ”

"The people in front of them have gone and never returned, and they dare to go again? They Hong Ze are ruthless, and they are not self-defeating when they go. ”

Seeing this scene, Leng Yuhu aroused the chivalrous heart in his heart, stood up and said: "I am an outsider, I can be this peacemaker, I think Deputy Gang Leader Liu is right, the brothers of the two gangs are our poor brothers, and the death of one brother involves a family behind it, old and young, who is reliable to live." ”

Deputy Gang Leader Liu said: "Listen to the brothers, Zhao Daxia is strong in martial arts, and he is an outsider, Hong Ze Gang won't even kill outsiders, right?" It turned out that Leng Yuhu did not tell him by real name, and with Zhao Yu's surname Zhao, Deputy Gang Leader Liu called him Zhao Daxia.

The helper said: "That's the only way to do it, please trouble Zhao Daxia to go." ”

After talking about major events, the banquet was put on, and a table was also set up in the inner hall, and some women accompanied Zhao Yu to eat. There were two tables set up outside, a table for eight people, a table full of dishes, and everyone ate and drank lively.

On the second day, after breakfast, a boy rowed a small boat and carried Leng Yuhu towards Hongze Lake. Paddle through a river, come to the surface of Hongze Lake, only to see fishing boats dotted, are busy throwing nets to fish, white birds flying, eyes do not leave the underwater prey, Hongze Lake is very large, you can see the sky at a glance, the water and the sky are connected, the blue waves float in the air. After paddling for two hours, a small island appeared on the surface of the lake, with towering mountains and lush forests. The rowing boy pointed with his hand and said, "That island is the Hongze Gang." ”

Leng Yuhu stood on the boat, holding a folding fan in his hand, looking into the distance. There was a small boat on the island that was coming this way, and there were two men on board, one of them was paddling at the stern, and there was a man standing in the bow of the boat, and he was holding a knife, and when he was near, he asked, "Who?

Leng Yuhu hugged his fists and said: "People from afar, come to your land and meet the helper." ”

The man looked at Leng Yuhu and asked with a smile, "You came to meet my helper, why are you empty-handed?"

Leng Yuhu also smiled: "It was because I was empty-handed that I came to visit the helper and begged the helper to help me." ”

The man said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Come with me. ”

Leng Yuhu tried this person with these words empty-handed, this person was not angry, it can be seen that this Hongze Gang is not as vicious as the Canal Gang said, at least this person in front of him is very good, if you want to come to the world, everything is dark, and if you listen to it, it will be clear.

The two boats docked, and the person who came led Leng Yuhu to the shore, and the boy who held the boat stayed in the boat and did not follow. The two of them walked up the stairs, and there were several houses looming in the trees, like temples, Leng Yuhu praised: "This house is good." ”

The man said, "In the past, a lake temple was built on this mountain. After our gang's house was burned down by the Canal Gang a few months ago, we came here and occupied the house of the Lake God, so we had no place to live. ”

It seems that the prejudice between the two gangs is very deep, how easy is it to resolve it in a short period of time? Leng Yuhu thought to himself, only do his best to do it, as for success or failure, it is not something he can consider, and when he sees the gang leader for a while, he hopes that he can be more sympathetic to the lives of his brothers in the gang.

The person who came led Leng Yuhu to the front of the temple and walked into the main hall, there were no candles lit inside, and it was also dark in the daytime, and a few people were sitting on chairs, all of them dejected. Someone came forward and made a briefing.

Leng Yuhu stepped forward and met the helper, and the helper gave a salute, and Leng Yuhu sat down. Seeing the gang leader, who was in his twenties, with a white face, big ears, a small mouth, and a sad face, he saw the visitor, barely cheered up, and asked in a soft voice: "Where did the guest come from?

Leng Yuhu sat on a wooden chair and sat on a cargo ship from Shandong to Jiangsu, and along the way saw the body of a brother of the Canal Gang floating in the river, and met five people from the Hongze Gang who got on the boat to kill the canal gang's boat, and told the Hongze gang leader about the sneak attack at night.

The young gang leader said: "The two gangs are too close to each other, and there was real friction in the past, but there is no great hatred. Since I became the leader of the gang, the people of the Canal Gang have often assassinated my brothers, and the two gangs have killed me in private, and I have killed them, and you have to take revenge, and I have to take revenge, and the fight is a mess. In the end, the two gang leaders came forward and had a big fight on this lake, and there were countless casualties on both sides, and the lake was bleeded red, and the gang leaders of the two families sat down to negotiate, and did not mention this revenge in the future, to be honest, there were many dead people on both sides, how can this revenge be avenged? I hate that the Canal Gang thinks it is powerful, and comes to assassinate my brother every day, Zhao Daxia said that there is an assassination of my brother on the canal, I don't think this will happen, I help the people to be restrained by me, and they are not allowed to step into the territory of the Canal Gang for half a step. ”

Leng Yuhu saw that the young gang leader was speaking reasonably, so he had to say: "There are many people in your gang, and there are many things, maybe someone will secretly go to the Canal Gang to take revenge, which is also a matter of maybe." ”

The young gang leader muttered, "This is also possible. Gang Master Xu, you go and check now, which five brothers did this, you go and ask for it, come back and talk. ”

A man stood up, greeted the gang leader and Leng Yuhu, and walked out.
