Chapter Seventy-Three: The Crouching Tigers
Then he walked out of the tavern, but suddenly turned around and held on to the door frame, and said to Xiao Mengshi: "My father and uncle knocked the disguised man away, he must have been injured, and he didn't know where to hide to heal." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info you know Han Zhengjie's secret, you also have your own secrets, and those people will not let you go. ”
Xiao Mengshi's eyes were blurred, as if he couldn't understand Meng Yu's words: "So what? If I die, wouldn't everyone be happy." As he spoke, he leaned to the side again. Meng Yu hurriedly supported him and whispered in his ear: "Remember, everyone is tied to their relatives and friends, and if one person destroys himself, it will always be his loved ones who suffer." ”
Xiao Mengshi seemed to wake up suddenly, and looked at Meng Yu: "I have my own pursuits, otherwise it is better not to come to this world." ”
Meng Yu also stared at him: "Danger will come at any time, you can figure it out yourself, don't let me wait too long." ”
Xiao Mengshi was about to say more, but Meng Yu smiled: "The car is here." ”
The Crouching Tiger Gang has already had guests visiting before Meng Yu came today, and the two sides of the host and guest of honor are talking happily. Han Zhengjie's funeral has been held very ceremoniously, but the disciples in the gang still have not completely eliminated filial piety. This is the meaning of the new gang leader Peng Zetian. He was Han Zhengjie's former deputy, and before Han Zhengjie went to Beiyan, he had already felt the undercurrents surging within the gang. Peng Zetian is a very honest and pragmatic person, but his temper is also relatively gentle, even if he has many doubts in the later stage, he also cooperates with Han Zhengjie with the overall situation in mind. After Han Zhengjie's death, he was very sad in his heart, so he asked the Crouching Tiger Gang to wear filial piety for Han Zhengjie for a few days, hoping that he could rest in peace in another world. Although Peng Zetian is old and serious, he does not procrastinate in everything. There are several powerful hall masters or disciples in the gang, and some covet power, but Peng Zetian's prestige in the gang made him get more support, and he dealt with the internal problems after Han Zhengjie's death very quickly. A few important disciples who were not satisfied broke away from the Crouching Tiger Gang, and the rest of those who had different intentions were also honest for the time being. But Peng Zetian knows very well that the problems in the gang have not been completely solved, but he is not a very courageous person, and it is not easy to stabilize the Crouching Tigers after the death of the gang leader, so he plans to wait and see what happens after the initial stabilization.
Meng Yu came to the Crouching Tiger Gang, and sure enough, he saw Guo Shichao. There is also Guo Shichao's uncle in the house, Guo Wei, the second owner of Shuangfeng Villa, who is drinking and chatting with the new gang leader Gu Zetian. There are obviously a lot of people in the courtyard that Guo Wei's uncle and nephew brought from northern Jiangsu. Meng Yuxin said that this pair of Fengshanzhuang and the Crouching Tiger Gang are really diligent, and it seems that what he told Guo Shichao in the spring did not work. However, Shuangfeng Villa has gone through six generations in northern Jiangsu, and the transactions between it and the imperial court have long been unbreakable, including weapons business and other unspeakable transactions that can only be carried out secretly, and it is impossible to influence anything because of a reminder from itself. I can only let Shuangfeng Villa know that I have indeed mastered some of their things.
Guo Shichao was very happy to see Meng Yu: "Brother Meng, you are coming to the capital again, I really miss you." ”
Meng Yu smiled: "Didn't Xiao Mengshi have another famous sword meeting?" I heard that you top swordsmen are going to have a good time, can't the sword makers participate?"
Guo Shichao said happily: "Of course, this time there are more than a dozen of the top sword masters in the rivers and lakes, if Brother Meng can collect more than a dozen knives with one sword like last time, that will be wonderful." ”
Meng Yu smiled pufffully: "I still want a small life!"
Peng Zetian is tall, with heavy eyebrows and leopard eyes, and looks simple and steady. He didn't dress as elegantly as Han Zhengjie, only casually wore a gray cloth robe with a wide brown cloth belt. Before Meng Yu came, he was showing Guo Wei his knife, the back of the knife was thicker than ordinary knives, and it was longer and wider, and the creases on the knife could be seen to be a hundred steel knives, which could only be used by powerful people at a glance. Guo Wei praised: "I have come to the capital a few times, if it weren't for the famous knife club, I wouldn't have paid special attention to your knife, it is really the knife of every sword master, there are different things." Peng Zetian also smiled and said: "I have practiced knives for fifteen years, and I have been mixing in the rivers and lakes for twenty years, and the knife is longer than my wife to accompany me, so why is it not the case with the second owner?" Guo Wei also smiled: "Peng Gang Master is very right! Being able to get together with so many masters in the capital is really a rare opportunity for people who love knives." ”
Peng Zetian heard Meng Yu and Guo Shichao also talk about the Famous Sword Club, and knew that Meng Yu also had his own special purpose to participate. Then he said to Meng Yu: "Meng Gongzi, thank you and Xiao Mengshi for helping to send the body of the Han gang leader back to the capital, but it's a pity that he, as the gang leader, is unknown." ”
Meng Yu pondered: "Sending the Han Gang Leader back to Beijing is mainly due to Xiao Mengshi's help. If I hadn't exposed him so early, maybe he would have survived. However, I have dragged it until the last moment, and if I don't debunk it, we will all be in danger, and I myself may not be able to talk to you here. ”
Peng Zetian nodded and said: "As soon as the Han gang leader died, the Crouching Tiger Gang was immediately chaotic, and after I cleaned up the portal, I also confessed to Xiao Meng, and I did not invite people who broke away from the Crouching Tiger Gang to participate in the Famous Sword Meeting." ”
Guo Wei said: "It's just that they are in the rivers and lakes, and it is inevitable that there will be incidents again." Since the Han gang leader is in a gang with the masked man, he naturally colludes with Beiyan, and he can't get rid of the person who was killed. Inferred from this, these people may know some secrets of the Han gang leader. ”
Peng Zetian groaned: "Gang Master Han knows that I am really for the good of the Crouching Tigers, so he trusts me. He also knew that I wouldn't be involved in his affairs, so there were indeed some things that were a secret between him and those people. As soon as the Han gang leader died, the faces of these people were exposed. ”
Meng Yu thought to himself, the top swordsman who killed people in the Crouching Tiger Gang should be among the people who knew how to knife last time, but it was definitely not Han Zhengjie, it might be a masked man. And this famous knife meeting, it is still impossible to foresee what unexpected and unpredictable things will happen.
Peng Zetian continued: "I also persuaded the Han gang leader back then, but he just refused to listen. These people have been in the Crouching Tiger Gang for a long time, and I know them very well, so it is difficult to kill them for a while. When they get to the rivers and lakes, if they do evil again, the Crouching Tiger Gang can't sit idly by. ”
Meng Yu still respects Peng Zetian very much, and he also knows that when Han Zhengjie was the gang leader, Peng Zetian's situation was very difficult and difficult. Fortunately, he has always been upright, and Han Zhengjie is not bad to the bone, and the trust and friendship between the two are still there. But what Han Zhengjie did, first, he would not say everything to Peng Zetian, and second, even if Peng Zetian knew some things, he would not necessarily say it to Yu. Meng Yu knew that with Peng Zetian, he could only slowly understand and gain trust, and he couldn't dream of achieving it overnight, after all, Peng Zetian was not only the leader of a gang for him, but also a martial arts senior.
Guo Shichao didn't worry about it, like a big child. Although Meng Yu had reminded him, he always felt that those dangerous things were far away from him. He happily said to Meng Yu: "Sister Jiang Luping has been to Beiyan with you, right, I heard what Brother Xiao said." She also came to the capital to participate in the famous sword meeting this time!"
