Chapter 195 Formulating a Strategy
Li Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard someone calling his name, and sighed: "It seems that Bamboo Leaf is very happy here!"
Bai Hanbing and Zhu Yezi have known each other for many days, knowing that she has a good nature and knows little about the rules of the rivers and lakes.
Ling Long followed Li Xuan into the house, without saying a word, at this time when she heard that Zhu Yezi was coming, she couldn't help but think that when Shi Wanrou was dying, she not only told everyone about Zhu Yezi's life experience, but also asked Li Xuan to take care of Zhu Yezi, thinking of these, she slowly stood up and thought secretly: "Shi Wanrou is my aunt, Zhu Yezi is her daughter, then I and Zhu Yezi are sisters! Alas, since my mother died, I am the only one left in the world, if I can recognize Zhu Yezi sisters, it will be a great thing." Before he could decide what he was thinking, he saw a girl dressed in green outside the house whirlwind into the house.
The girl in green is the bamboo leaf that has been separated from Li Xuan for many days.
She entered the house and didn't care about the people next to her, ran straight to Li Xuan, grabbed his arm and said, "Hey, little Li Zi gang leader, why did you come and what did you do? What about Miss Tang?" The first person was dressed in white and had a delicate face, especially the big expressive eyes that not only showed the light of the elves, but also flashed the innate nobility, and the man with the short beard who followed was none other than the arrogant Yao Zikong.
When Bai Hanbing and the others saw the two of them entering the house, they hurriedly stood up and said, "Miss Aying and Brother Yao have worked hard!"
Li Xuan saw Ah Ying and Yao Zikong, and said very happily: "Ah Ying, Brother Yao, let's meet again!" Ah Ying was also very happy to see Li Xuan, but when she saw the glamorous Ling Long standing beside Li Xuan, her joy immediately turned to nothing. She said lightly: "I have met the helper." When Yao Zikong saw Li Xuan, the arrogance in his expression instantly turned into a smile, and he stepped forward and saluted: "Helper, we can look forward to you." Li Xuan saw Ah Ying's expression change, knowing the reason, but it was inconvenient to explain in public, he stretched out his hand to hold Ah Ying and Yao Zikong, and said with a smile: "It's really like a few autumns if you haven't seen each other for many days." ”
Seeing that Li Xuan was so affectionate to Ah Ying and Yao Zikong, Zhu Yezi pouted and said, "Little Lizi gang leader, you are really eccentric." I went inside the house first, and I didn't have to hold your hand and talk. Yao Zikong heard her call Li Xuan a little plum in public, and said in a deep voice: "How can Zhu Yezi be rude to the gang leader!" Zhu Yezi tilted his head and grinned: "I am not a member of the Heavenly God Gang, so he is not my gang leader, so I don't have to be respectful to him." Little Lizi, right?"
Seeing her innocent, Ling Long couldn't help but think of Shi Wanrou's appearance when she was dying, her heart was sour, and she sighed secretly: "What would happen if she knew that her biological mother Shi Wanrou had died?" He's a helper or not, it's just a friend of you and me. ”
When Zhu Yezi heard this, he grinned and said, "Old Master Yao, did you hear that? Hmph, Xiao Lizi is just your helper!"
Ah Ying heard Ling Long declare that she was just friends with Li Xuan, her expression softened a lot, and she said lightly: "This sister is so beautiful." Well, why don't you introduce us to the helper!" Li Xuan knew about Ah Ying's careful thoughts, and when he saw her ask, he introduced Ling Long. Bai Hanbing and the people read the rivers and lakes very deeply, and when they saw Ling Long following Li Xuan without saying a word, they didn't want to ask each other, and at this time, they heard that Ling Long was actually the descendant of Ling Juran, a strange person in the rivers and lakes a hundred years ago, and couldn't help but be in awe. Zhu Yezi naturally didn't know the grievances and hatreds between the Tibetan Sword Villa and the sojourners of Shaomu Mountain, and only felt that Ling Long was gently holding his hand, not only with incomparable warmth in his expression, but also with a certain sense of intimacy that could not be refused.
Zhu Yezi was slightly stunned, and suddenly became calm, she gently broke away from Ling Long's hand, and muttered, "Since everyone doesn't like to pay attention to me, then I'll go out for a walk by myself." After speaking, he ran out of the house as if flying. Ling Long saw it and whispered to Li Xuan, "Brother Xuan, I'll go see her." Li Xuan didn't expect Zhu Yezi to say that he would leave, and when he heard Ling Long say this, he vaguely felt that she would definitely explain Zhu Yezi's life experience when she went out this time, so he whispered: "Zhu Yezi has a simple heart, I'm afraid I can't pretend to be too much in a short time, if you tell her about her life experience, you have to think carefully!"
Ling Long nodded, turned around and chased out.
Everyone didn't understand the meaning of the words of the two, but they just felt that Ling Long was quiet and Zhu Yezi was innocent, nothing more than a difference in personality, but they didn't have to think about it. But these people have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, although they don't know the reason, they will not rush to ask. Ah Ying and Li Xuan sat down in turn, and then said to Bai Hanbing: "Has the right envoy Bai introduced the situation around Mount Tai to the gang leader this time?" Bai Hanbing nodded and said, "Although it has been introduced, I still have to wait for your news!" Ah Ying smiled slightly: "Then I will tell you the news first, and then ask the gang leader to set a specific strategy for participating in this hero conference." ”
Li Xuan heard Ah Ying open and shut her mouth and call herself the helper, completely looking like she was helping her subordinates, and knew that she still couldn't let go of her love for Tang Bing, but now that the hero conference was imminent, the situation around the Tianshen Gang was sinister, and she had promised Shen Wuxing to take charge of the Tianshen Gang, and she couldn't tolerate the love of her children. He looked at Ah Ying and said in a deep voice, "Ah Ying, what's the news?"
Ah Ying said slowly: "Since yesterday, I have contacted seventeen gangs with Brother Yao. They promised to join hands with us to participate in this heroic conference in the form of a charlatan alliance. Eight of the gangs hope to use the power of the alliance to keep their bloodline, and the remaining nine gangs also explicitly help us compete for the leadership of the rivers and lakes at the Heroes Conference. ”
Li Xuan said in surprise: "Don't you always carry the handle?"
Ah Ying shook her head and said: "The Jianghu always carries the handle, which is different from the leader of the Jianghu Alliance. ”
Li Xuan was puzzled: "What is the difference between the two?" A Ying said: "The leader of the Jianghu Alliance is the leader of the alliance, but he is just a leader who mediates and dispatches, but the leader of the Jianghu is different, this is a role similar to that of the emperor of the rivers and lakes." Li Xuan snorted coldly and said, "It's just a matter of being the king on the rivers and lakes, and now they are going to be the emperor of the soil!"
Ah Ying sighed, "It is said that this decision was made by the head of the Lingfeng Cliff Pine Wind Dao Sect, Hongzhen Old Dao, at the behest of the Flying Camel Holy Lord. Hmph, Hongzhen Lao Dao has announced at noon yesterday that the Taishan Heroes Conference will elect the first chief who can carry the banner of the rivers and lakes. ”
Li Xuan sighed: "They really want to turn this hero conference into a meeting for profit and fame! This is a sweet dream for them, but for the various gangs and factions who have been lured here, I am afraid it will become an unimaginable nightmare meeting!"
Ah Ying continued: "As far as the current situation is concerned, there are as many as thirty large and small gangs that have been eaten by the three forces of the Flying Camel Holy Lord, Wang Shichong and the Twelve Chains of Money Villages. Among them, the people sent by the Flying Camel Holy Lord constantly used co-optation methods against some gangs that were not weak, so as to strengthen themselves. However, if there is a refusal or wavering, it will be killed, and the worst thing is to take refuge in Yan's invincible gang, not only the old and the young will not let go, but even to the point of ruthlessness that the chicken and dog will not stay.
But the people sent by Wang Shichong were different. They don't win over or destroy the door, they only kill the gangs that have a relationship with the Shaolin Temple, including the Ludong Red Turban Gang that was tragically destroyed last night. However, among these three forces, the twelve chain money banks are the most shameless. It is said that their plan this time is to swallow up the wealth and destroy the family, as long as there are rich gangs, no matter who they are. Alas, in the early years, some heroes who were troubled by money and down-and-out on the rivers and lakes once regarded An Ruohai as a life-saving Buddha, but now these people were not firmly tied by him with a contract, but they were killed on the charge of refusing to repay their debts, and even some weak gangs took the initiative to buy their lives with money, and they were also wiped out. ”
Li Xuan said: "The people sent by Wang Shichong specially selected gangs related to Shaolin Temple to destroy the sect? Earlier, the Shaolin warrior monk had offended Wang Shichong in order to save Li Shimin, and he was taking revenge by choosing a gang with a connection with Shaolin to destroy the door! No wonder Qian Gang, the leader of the Red Turban Gang, who was a lay disciple of Shaolin Zhicong Zen Master, had already understood that Wang Shichong would take revenge when he was dying, and he was indeed a villain! Ah Ying, Brother Yao, can you find out who is the chief manager of the twelve serial docks sent by An Ruohai this time?"
Ah Ying said: "The chief manager of the Twelve Docks is very mysterious, some people say that he is a thin man, and some people say that he is a gloomy woman, but what it looks like, no one has ever seen it." Bai Hanbing heard this: "In this way, isn't he a shemale who is neither male nor female?" A Ying smiled: "Whether it is male or female, from the perspective of means, this person seems to be extremely ruthless. ”
Li Xuan pondered for a while, and said, "Who is the leader of the other two forces?" Ah Ying said: "The Flying Camel Holy Lord has sent a hundred-year-old ghost seat, the eldest disciple of Mr. Zhiku, Chu Xuanmeng. Li Xuan was stunned when he heard this, and said, "A hundred-year-old ghost, how many disciples does he have?"
Bai Hanbing saw that Ah Ying shook his head and didn't know, so he said: "No one has ever seen a hundred-year-old ghost, let alone his life scripture. It is rumored that he is not only mysterious and abnormal, but also has the ability to know the world. It is said that there are four disciples beside him, known as the four messengers of the Flying Camel Temple, who are Zhihuan, Zhile, Piaoran, and Ruochen, and we only know that Piaoran and Ruochen are twin brothers. ”
Li Xuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he sighed: "I should recognize Zhile, Piaoran, and Ruochen." Hearing what he said, everyone couldn't help but say in unison: "Who are they?" Li Xuan said: "Mr. Zhile is called He Changsheng, Mr. Piaoran is called Xin Ye, and Mr. Ruochen is called Xin Jun." Ah Ying and Yao Zikong couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this, because when they were on the zenith of the Immortal Cave of the Dustless Mountain Villa, they had seen and saved the Xin brothers with dragon scale fish beads. Li Xuan was amazed when he saw them, so he briefly told him about killing Mr. Zhile He Changsheng with the sword of Yuntai Mountain Waterfall Peak.
Ah Ying not only saw Mr. Zhile He Changsheng, but also knew that Li Xuan, in order to save himself, Yao Zikong, and Zhu Yezi, went to the Waterfall Peak alone, shot down the wine monk from the cliff, beat Zhuge Dongfang, and even cut He Changsheng into pieces. She muttered, "It turns out that these three people are the disciples of a hundred-year-old ghost, no wonder they have strange ways and evil deeds. ”
Li Xuan nodded and said, "From this point of view, since Mr. Zhiku is the eldest disciple of a hundred-year-old ghost, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to deal with, right, who is the person sent by Wang Shichong? Could it be Yuwen Huodu or one of the Ding brothers?"
Ah Ying shook her head and said, "I don't know. I only heard that the surname of the person who came was Mo, and the two masters on his side should be the Ding brothers, and the rest of the people accompanying him were also the three people you knew well, Qi, Meng, and Zhengjunzi. After a moment of silence, Ah Yingcai said again: "Now that the three forces are clear, what should we do?" Yao Zikong, who had never spoken, said: "For the sake of the rivers and lakes, fight with them." Li Xuan said: "Fight is to fight, but you can't force it." You have been here for a long time, and you have arrangements for acting chivalrous and liaising with the Quartet, so let's talk about your thoughts first. Ah Ying said: "Although the three forces are very powerful, it is a rare opportunity for the Celestial God Gang to regain their prestige, as long as one of the forces is destroyed, our gang will definitely be famous, so we should take the initiative to seize the opportunity to defeat the evil forces." ”
When Li Xuan heard this, he was silent.
Bai Hanbing shook his head and said, "I help Fang Xing, it's not appropriate to fight." In my opinion, we should avoid their edges, preserve our strength, and contact more gangs as soon as possible. ”
Yao Zikong glanced at Bai Hanbing obliquely, and said coldly: "Bai Right Envoy has always been resourceful, although he likes to win by skill, he is also a man who is not afraid of life and death. Hmph, if you want to preserve your strength and retreat and hold on, don't you know that the best defense is to attack! Although these three forces are flourishing, what they are doing is an unrighteous act, and if we attack it, even if we die in a vigorous battle, the rivers and lakes will never again detain the stinky hat of greed for money to the gods gang!"
Bai Hanbing said lightly: "In exchange for your life to take off the hat of greed for money, it will be an illusory hat! Brother Yao, should you not know the sentence that you can stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, right?" Yao Zikong heard this, his dark face turned red, he stood up with a tense face, and said with a tense face: "An illusory hat?
Li Xuan saw that the two of them expressed their opinions, and their faces were red, and he secretly said in his heart: "Bing'er once whispered to me in Shaolin Temple that I have been stirred into an unprecedented political whirlpool. Now it seems that the eldest prince Li Jiancheng and the fourth prince Li Yuanji began to blatantly send people to expand their influence in the rivers and lakes, the purpose of which is to seize the opportunity and reserve talent strength for the future king. But why didn't the second son, Li Shimin, move? If Li Shimin's ambition was followed, he would never stay out of the matter. ”
Thinking of this, his heart flickered, and he asked Ah Ying: "You said that there are nine gang masters who support the Tianshen Gang to compete for the position of the chief leader of the rivers and lakes, which nine gangs are they?" A Ying said: "Lan Ji'an, the leader of the Jiangxi Dragon and Tiger Sect, Chu Nansheng, the head of the Hebei Flying Sword Sect, Qiao Shiting, the first master of the Lingnan Qiao family, Xu Sangu, the master of Luoyang Luohan Gate, Lu Yiyi, the cave master of the Zenyi Cave of Funiu Mountain, Situ Manshan, the owner of the empty wind gate of Huashan Changkong Stack, Xue Wanli, the owner of Xuzhou Wanma Village, Meng Huanian of the Wudang Mountain Bird Cave Sect, Pei Liuxing, the leader of the Taihang Mountain Maniac Gang. ”
When Li Xuan heard this, he was secretly surprised. Because not only are five of the nine gang leaders mentioned by Ah Ying known to him, but all five of them have taken refuge in the second son, Li Shimin. It seems that Li Shimin also expected that this hero conference would have open and secret battles and gangs, so he arranged for the leaders of these nine gangs to form an alliance with the Tianshen Gang to help him compete for the general leader.
He muttered, "Judging from the information you have gathered, if you can defeat these three forces, it will indeed make the Celestial Gang famous. As for whether it is a defensive counterattack or an active attack, it should actually be moved according to the time. So I decided that the Celestial Gang would go to this hero conference with great fanfare, but it would be up to me to compete with them and compete for the position of the leader of the rivers and lakes.
Before we go, let's consider the worst-case scenario.
Ah Ying, if I die, you must immediately take over as the leader of the Celestial Gang. When Ah Ying heard this, she was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Xuan waving her hand.
Li Xuan said again: "Bai Right Envoy, Sun Qi Master, you will immediately gather all the brothers of the Heavenly God Gang with Hua Butterfly, Su Feng, and Xiao Zhongxing today, return to the main altar all the way, and carry out chivalrous deeds all the way, so as to lay a good foundation for the future prosperity of the Heavenly God Gang." Bai Hanbing heard this: "Helper, we are all leaving, who will accompany you to Lingfeng Cliff to participate in the Hero Conference?"
