Out of the hall, the patriarch sighed and left quickly, and Granny Rui took a few steps to catch up.

"The patriarch doesn't seem to be interested in Master Li's plan, what's wrong?"

The patriarch said: "Where is he planning for the governor to win, he is obviously afraid that I will make meritorious contributions." ”

Granny Rui was puzzled: "What did the patriarch say?"

The patriarch said: "The 'Six Dragons Gang' and the 'Yang Dao Alliance' are not the first enemies of the governor, even if they want to deal with it, they should not lead the war at the same time. Master Li knew the governor's thoughts, and the governor could not refuse the proposal of the private army, so he took the lead in proposing it to seize the first credit, and then take advantage of it in a two-pronged manner. If the evil venerable succeeds in one blow, he can also share a lot of credit with his two-pronged four-word words, at least in the governor's opinion, Master Li's plan is thorough, if the battle for a long time just affects the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, it is convenient for the governor to recruit soldiers to show his foresight, far from being comparable to us. ”

Granny Rui said, "What's in it for him?"

The patriarch said: "It's not a matter of rebellion or not, if I take the first credit, the weight of speaking in front of the governor will naturally be heavier, and the governor will no longer obey him if the situation changes in the future, if I have no merit, there is no one in front of the governor to fight with him, and his power position will be incomparable, in other words, the more the governor can use him, the safer he will be." What's more, now that the two of us are separated, he naturally doesn't want to see me. ”

Granny Rui said: "It's not trivial to deal with the 'Dragon God' and Shao Mingqian, and the governor doesn't want his head if he accidentally makes a situation out of control?"

The patriarch said: "No, the most profitable thing is the governor, one has a reason to recruit troops, and the court 'Beichuan' war has not stopped, and the emperor will have too many worries and forbearance even if he has the heart to deal with the governor, and the private placement has already become a trend when the war subsides, and the emperor is even more powerless to deal with the governor, so that he Master Li's great achievements needless to say, that is, I have no worries." ”

Granny Rui said: "So that's what the patriarch no longer argues with Master Li?"

The patriarch nodded and said: "Well, if you think about it later, it's not a good thing, and the evil venerable joins forces with him (her), plus the four major gangs in Zhongzhou, it is more than enough to deal with the 'Yang Dao Alliance'." ”

Granny Rui said, "Why is the patriarch still depressed?"

The patriarch said: "Although this plan is good for us, but Master Li is still the first hero, it is inevitable that the momentum will be pressed by him, and there are many dreams at night, and the situation that seems to be beneficial to victory and defeat actually contains a great crisis, once the governor has used his mind on the 'Six Dragons Gang' and the 'Yang Dao Alliance' for a long time, the emperor will have enough respite, and when he will suddenly strike, this is really fatal, and we will definitely die at that time." Compared with the emperor, whether it is the 'Six Dragons Gang' or the 'Yang Dao Alliance', it is just a dazzling eye, the 'Dragon God' and Shao Mingqian want to plan for the brothers in the gang, and it is impossible to openly lead their subordinates to fight with the governor, which is equivalent to rebellion, and the court will send a large army to encircle and suppress. ”

Granny Rui said: "The emperor will really attack the governor, or will we definitely die with the fall of the governor?"

The patriarch smiled and said, "Things are back to the original situation. I can't guarantee whether the emperor will definitely attack the governor, but if the governor falls, whether the emperor or the ministers of the court and the central government, or the people, I will never allow me, a well-known accomplice, to live freely and happily, and I have lost the protection of the governor's rights, and 'Juntian Jiuding' will not let me take a break, Master Li, the planner who only moves his mouth, may not be able to hide in the shadows all the year round, as for your Ouyang family in the capital, it is also a force in the capital, and I don't need to say more about whether you can get away with it. Maybe my conjecture is wrong, but I don't want to bet, I don't dare to bet, and I don't have the interest in betting, I can live to this age because I don't want to be lucky, I don't want to be in case. ”

Granny Rui smiled: "The patriarch said that he plans to leave immediately?"

The patriarch shook his head and said, "With my current condition, once I leave the governor, once I meet the masters of the 'Juntian Jiuding', I am afraid that I will not be able to get rid of them." ”

Granny Rui said: "Yes, at least it's safe here for the time being, and it's not too late to leave when the injury is healed, but the patriarch has to be angry with Master Li like this, and I can't help but feel wronged." ”

The patriarch said: "We eat with martial arts in front of the governor, Master Li eats by strategy, and now my martial arts are greatly discounted, so I will inevitably be looked down upon, this time if the evil lord and him (she) can win the 'Yang Dao Alliance', although I am not the first meritorious, but I also have some credit, and I can somewhat reverse some unfavorable views in the governor's heart, as long as the governor does not have mustard in his heart, Master Li likes to say whatever he likes, let him go." ”

Granny Rui said with a smile: "When the emperor deals with the governor, the elder's martial arts will come in handy, and the governor will naturally know that the patriarch is not comparable to his Master Li." ”

The patriarch said: "You underestimate the emperor too much. ”

"What do you mean by that, Patriarch?"

The patriarch said: "If the emperor had planned to openly deal with the governor, he would have done it a long time ago, I am afraid that the emperor will continue to appease and reward the governor while reducing the governor's strength little by little, so that the governor will be suspicious and suspicious and difficult to make up his mind to rebel, and when the time is ripe, he will be fatal with one blow." At that time, what is the use of you and me being ten times higher in martial arts?"

Granny Rui was stunned for a moment, stunned, and walked more than ten steps before she barely smiled, and said: "It's still the patriarch who thinks carefully, it seems that the Ouyang family should be disbanded when necessary, but it's a pity that my old man left such a big family business......"

The patriarch smiled and said, "No matter how big or small the family business is, no one is willing to throw it away, and people always like to hear that there is no problem, not only can the family be prosperous after the family production capacity is maintained, and so on." Human nature is like this, even if you know that there are always people who do the things of nine deaths, which is good for the overall situation, because there will always be one or two successful people who fail, and the world can also progress, but it is cruel to individuals, and the successful ones who take one out of ten will inspire countless people to die, and the funny thing is that no one has ever remembered the nine people who died, and no one believes that they will be the same as them, always looking forward to what happens, but in case the word no longer understands. ”

"What do you mean by that, ......?"

"If I hadn't abandoned the 'Golden Pavilion' and fled, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of the people of the 'Juntian Jiuding', in other words, I killed the nephew of the lord of the Jiuding Ding in vain, and Jiuding sent someone to ask for someone If I didn't have a fluke to protect the apprentice, I wouldn't lead the Jiuding to attack, and the tired 'Golden Pavilion' fell, and the disciples of the disciples had no life. You know my business very well, and you decide what to do if the governor declines. ”

She knew very well about the patriarch, when the 'Golden Pavilion' and 'Juntian Jiuding' fought several battles, but did not fall behind, as a result, the more people on both sides died, the more and more the enmity became deeper and deeper, and finally Jiuding issued a decisive killing order, several tripod lords led hundreds of masters to attack, and the patriarch couldn't resist abandoning the 'Golden Pavilion' and leaving the disciples to escape alone, which was the biggest stain on the patriarch's life, and it was also the reason why the 'Osumi Heavenly City' and the 'Six Dragons Gang' were unwilling to accept him, and it was the reason why he had to take refuge in Wu Jingguo. Granny Rui nodded, she believed in the patriarch very much, and admired the patriarch even more, but she didn't agree with the patriarch's approach, she had her own ideas, the Ouyang family was the hard work of her father-in-law and son, and it was the hope of her grandson, she couldn't give up for no reason anyway.

In the afternoon of the same day, the people of the 'Ministry of Works' within a radius of five miles from the bell tower set up a fence to block the streets on the pretext of repairing the canal.

Inside the 'Six Dragons Gang'.

"Zhang Rong, immediately lead 300 brothers to meet our fleet along the 'canal', 'Peishui', and 'Feilong River', and escort them into Beijing. ”

"Yes. One man took the command and departed.

"Bai Xucheng, lead two hundred brothers out of the city to meet the caravan by land, if a thief comes to commit the first evil, the servant will not stay. ”

"Yes. One man took the command and departed.

"Xu Tao and Zhang He led 3,000 brothers to guard the gang's various villages, buildings, shops, etc., and all those who came were killed. ”

"Yes. ”

"Fang Zuo, there have been people who have gone out from Jingguo Mansion and left the capital recently to monitor their every move, how to do it you arrange your subordinates. ”

"Yes. ”

"Each person with three pigeons, if there is news to spread quickly, if there is no news to fly the pigeon every day, the pigeon is used up in the nearest branch hall pigeon room supplement, the news can be transmitted back to the branch hall and then by the branch flying pigeon back to the headquarters. ”

"Yes. Fang Zuoying also went.

Ouyang Zhonglu made some arrangements, turned around and went back to the house, hugged his fist at the 'Dragon God' and said, "What arrangements does the helper have?"

The dragon god shook his head, motioned for Ouyang Zhonglu to sit down, and made a pot of tea for Ouyang Zhonglu to pour it, and Ouyang Zhonglu took it with both hands and drank it all. The dragon god added tea to Luo Benchu, the big shopkeeper of the 'Qinlong Building', and poured it for Ouyang Zhonglu.

"Originally, you were the big shopkeeper of the 'Qinlong Building', and you were in charge of all the money matters such as the entry and exit, profit and loss of all the transactions of the gang, what is the purpose of Wu Jingguo's move according to you?"

Luo Benchu said: "Destroy my gang's economy, so as to drag down my gang." In fact, the trading of our gang in the capital only accounts for about 30% of the income of the whole gang, and even if it is all abandoned, it will not be able to drag us down. ”

"Is there a response?"

"Although it is their right to maintain the drainage of the streets, we cannot interfere, but we can make it repaired as soon as possible. ”

"Tell me about your approach. ”

"It is not difficult for us to secretly investigate the property, farmhouses, silver taels and the transactions under the names of several adults of the 'Ministry of Works'. If the family property does not match its income, it can be coerced by the crime of corruption, if it is not made public to the world, and then the repair of the canal is deliberately delayed to fill the private pockets, forced by public opinion, they may repair it as soon as possible, and now we must guard against them taking the opportunity to dig up the water pipes of the 'Qinlong Tower', and we need to send people to guard them day and night. ”

The dragon god nodded, and turned to Ouyang Zhonglu, Ouyang Zhonglu said: "Some time ago, we destroyed a lot of transactions in Wujingguo, and the Wujingguo Dynasty will definitely return in the same way, we need to deal with it in advance, they know that they are not the opponents of the helper, and they will invite a master to check and balance the helper, and the most likely to serve at present is the 'shadow' of the 'Bairen Jingtang', the 'Yan' of 'Listening to the rain and reading the Sword Tower' and the 'outside the gate' Immortal Evil Venerable', as long as any one of the three moves, we will respond relatively, as long as any two people are not allowed to join forces with Wu Jingguo, they are not enough to fight with the gang leader. ”

"How to deal with it?"

"The easiest way is for the helper to come forward and break them one by one, if the helper is unwilling, the master of the 'Hidden Dragon Hall' will join forces with us to deal with them one by one. ”

"Don't worry, even if I don't want to take care of things anymore, I will still take action when I endanger the gang, and it's better for me and the 'Hidden Dragon Hall' not to show up for now. ”

"It's much easier to have absolute power to do things. ”

"Absolute power?Zhonglu, how can you ever speak like this?"

Ouyang Zhonglu smiled, and the dragon god also smiled, and said, "Okay, there's nothing else, if you want to drink tea, stay, if you don't want to drink tea, go by yourself." ”

Luo Benchu got up and retreated, but Ouyang Zhonglu did not leave.

A cup of tea is bitter, astringent, and immediately sweet, Ouyang Zhonglu said with a smile: "There is a lot of good tea in the gang for more than ten years, and the gang leader has to choose the new tea of the year to drink every time, no wonder Lao Luo is reluctant to stay and drink tea." ”

The dragon god smiled: "I have a personal preference, I make tea naturally to my liking, if you are not used to drinking it, you can boil water and make tea by yourself." ”

Ouyang Zhonglu said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't have those particularities, just quench my thirst." ”

The dragon god smiled, poured another cup for Ouyang Zhonglu, Ouyang drank it all, the footsteps at the door sounded, and a handsome young man walked quickly to the door, bowed to Ouyang Zhonglu at the dragon god, and said, "Helper, father." "It's Ouyang Barberry.

"Come in. The dragon god nodded, Ouyang Yan walked into the hall and stood on one side, after the dragon god finished the discussion, he naturally had to follow by the side as a guard.

The dragon god poured another cup of tea for Ouyang Zhonglu and asked, "Zhonglu, how long have you and my brother been friends?"

Ouyang Zhonglu said: "It's been more than ten years, I really don't remember the specific time." ”

The dragon god smiled, "But what's the dissatisfaction?"

Ouyang Zhonglu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "There are too many dissatisfactions, which battle in the past was not nine deaths? Every time I get injured, I think I'll never do it again, but after the injury is healed, isn't it going to go desperately again?"

"Okay, the scar forgets the pain, human nature has been like this since ancient times, fortunately so, otherwise who will do the difficult things in this world?"

Ouyang Zhonglu smiled and said, "Is the helper talking about yourself?"

"Sort of, 'repeated defeats' but 'repeated defeats', a 'Six Qi Dragon Guard' has tormented me for several years, and when his affairs are clear, I should choose a quiet place to retreat and study well. ”

"With the current martial arts of the gang leader, there is no one in the world except Thor, so why bother to suffer for yourself?"

"You are now famous, and you have enough money to spend, so why bother to work hard every day?"

Ouyang Zhong smiled, drank all the tea in the cup, and the dragon god added tea to it, his expression was slightly solemn, and said, "How is the investigation of the traitor?"

Ouyang Zhonglu shook his head and said: "This traitor is very treacherous, and it is not clear who it is at this time." ”

"But what can be done?"

"There are not a few people who know about the robbery of merchant ships in the first few times, it is difficult to be sure, but if you betray our gang, you will get a lot of benefits, and the brothers who often go to restaurants, teahouses, casinos, brothels, etc. ”

The dragon god nodded and said, "Don't worry, check slowly, as long as you don't kill the brothers in the gang, you might as well open the net." ”

"Yes. "Ouyang Zhonglu was quite ashamed, if he couldn't even find out a traitor, he, the hall master of the 'Mountain Dragon Hall', would be too cowardly.

"Helper, what martial arts is the young master practicing in retreat, I haven't seen anyone for a few days, and even Sister Han hasn't seen anyone in the past few days. Ouyang Yan asked.

"Brother Hanging Lei's birthday is approaching, and it is time for the son of man to go back to celebrate his biological father's birthday, and Han Huwei went back with him. ”

"Thor's birthday?"

"Hmm. ”

"Help the master let the young master go back in case ......"

"If the two gangs want to completely turn enemies into friends, one party must show sincerity first, this time it will be regarded as our sincerity, Brother Hanging Thunder should not be ignorant of the best in the world, not to mention that he is no longer the original him. ”

"That's what the helper said. ”

The dragon god smiled, drank the cup of tea, and glanced at Ouyang Barberry.

Ouyang Yan smiled: "I usually think that Sister Han talks a lot and annoys people, but I miss her a little when I haven't seen her these days." ”

The dragon god said: "This is simple, just find a young talent to marry her off another day." ”

Ouyang Yan immediately smiled and said, "What the helper said is true. ”
