Dongfang Ling gradually distanced himself from everyone, Sikong Gu turned his head, and saw some Cao Gang members behind Nangong Jun glaring at him, so he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I think this sinner is deserved today." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Sikong Shaoxia is the great benefactor of my Cao Gang, how can he be a sinner?"

Although Nangong Jun is so open up for Sikong Gu, there is a deep loneliness and depression in his eyes, Sikong Gu knows that Nangong Jun and Li Yan are silent, and they must have a grudge against themselves in their hearts.

Just now in the yamen, Sikong Gu deliberately separated Yang Shuo and had a secret conversation with Lu Xun in the small hall, and after some "bargaining", an agreement was reached: the Cao Gang secretly became a force in the government in Yangzhou City, and from then on, the Cao Gang needed to obey the instructions of the government.

Of course, the bottom line of the articles on many secrets is also divided, and Sikong Gu waited for Li Yan and his party to get out of the prison before informing Yang Shuo of all the conditions, and this is the scene where Yang Shuo drew his sword in anger.

Although this agreement is only secretly agreed, on the surface, the Cao Gang is still the largest gang in Yangzhou, and it is still a well-known gang in the south of the Yangtze River. But whether it is Lu Xun or Sikong Gu, even Yang Shuo, who puts morality first, knows that paper can't contain fire after all, and it is easy for the Cao Gang to deceive those small sects, but it is impossible to hide it from these sects in Shaolin Kunlun, everyone is an old Jianghu, how can they not know after the change in their style of behavior? In the end, the news will definitely leak, and the reputation that Li Zhou and Yang Shuo have built up with great difficulty will be ruined.

Over the years, the Cao Gang has gradually regarded itself as a famous and decent family, and those stereotypes and bad habits when Li Zhou was in charge were gradually abolished by Li Zhou, and when Li Zhou did not suffer misfortune, the Cao Gang had already faintly known as the "No. 1 Gang" in Jiangnan - although only in terms of numbers. But the appearance of this voice is indeed a proof that the people of the rivers and lakes recognize the Cao Gang, after all, now the Cao Gang has finally ascended to the Hall of Elegance, although the only people in the Cao Gang who can really appear on stage are Li Zhou, Yang Shuo and Nangong Jun. Although Dongfang Ling, who left angrily, said that his status in the gang was not low, and he was Li Zhou's right-hand man in formulating new rules, but for the rivers and lakes, Dongfang Ling is a figure outside the top 100 people in the Who's Who's List, and he cannot be regarded as a master in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes.

Although Sikong Gu was in a state of malice, he did not panic at all, he had already planned this scene, today's matter was completely under his control, and the next thing to do was to attack the Yang Dao Gate.

If there is grief and anger, then the premise of the victory of the mourning soldiers has been achieved - Li Zhou's death mourning, in order to save everyone to sign a secret covenant with the government is angry, this is ultimately due to the Yangdaomen......

Sikong Gu, who already had a plan in his heart, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Gang Master Li, Brother Nangong, can we take a step to speak." ”

In the fleet returning to the Cao Gang, Sikong Gu took the same boat with Li Yan and Nangong Jun, which was about an hour and a half of waterway, which was enough for Sikong Gu to inform Li Yan and Nangong Jun of the terms of the agreement in detail.

Li Yan just listened silently, and Nangong Jun was not very interested, but from time to time he asked questions about some words and phrases used by Sikong Gu, Sikong Gu knew in his heart that Nangong Jun's mood had fallen to the bottom, although he also thought that the morale of the Cao Gang would be temporarily low, but he didn't expect Nangong Jun to also show a sluggish appearance, and he had a calculation at the moment.

“...... So much for the basic provisions, and as for the specific negotiation process, it seems that the two of them are not interested either. ”

Li Yan wanted to get up and bow with his fists in his fists, but when he stood up, he hit the top of the boat, sat down again, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you Sikong Shaoxia, this clause is really lenient compared to the lives of the brothers." ”

"You must be extremely dissatisfied with the treaty that you have agreed on, right?"

Li Yan shook his head, in his opinion, the Sikong Gu Gang has done its best to be benevolent and righteous in this regard, and the Cao Gang has gone through this difficulty, and it is not easy to ensure that the gang is complete, where can there be any complaints?

"If so many lives can be saved, where will the old man be dissatisfied?"

Sikong Gu shook his head, the shallow smile on his face disappeared, and he said with a rare serious expression: "This agreement was originally signed by Lu Xun in Xia, and Xia is not a member of the Cao Gang......

Sometimes when talking to smart people, you don't have to speak too thoroughly, Sikong Gu understands, Li Yan will definitely be able to understand the deep meaning of his words - this agreement was signed by Sikong Gu, and the person who signed the secret agreement with Lu Xun is Sikong Gu, if the Cao Gang refuses to admit it, or Sikong Gu does not tell the Cao Gang about this secret agreement at all, then the Cao Gang can naturally not abide by this secret agreement.

It's just that if Lu Xun blames him in the future, then Sikong Gu will suffer, and only Yang Shuo in the Cao Gang will be slightly implicated.

Li Yan and Nangong Jun both understood the deep meaning of Sikong Gu's words, but they never thought that Sikong Gu would be willing to do this for the Cao Gang, after the two exchanged looks, Li Yan turned his old face slightly to the side, and Nangong Jun said in a deep voice:

"We have received the grace of Meng Yuan to save our lives, how can we put Meng Yuan in danger? Although my Cao Gang emphasizes the word 'profit' on weekdays, but also understands the principle of the word 'righteousness', Meng Yuan is willing to do this level for my Cao Gang, and my Nangong Jun is already extremely grateful, but if I offend the government for my Cao Gang, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that the people in my Cao Gang are all villains who sell their fame and betray their benefactors?"

"No, Lu Xun will never dare to attack me, I hope you can rest assured about this. Sikong Gu's expression was solemn, and Li Yan and Nangong Jun couldn't help but be moved by this expression, and quietly listened to Sikong Gu's words:

"The relationship between the lower and your gang can be regarded as a common experience, so there are some words that I don't plan to hide from the two of them: both of them know that they are the sons of the commonplace, and they are also the only survivors of the Jiangning Sikong family extermination case ten years ago. But if you continue to act in the shadows, the progress may be extremely slow, so you want to startle the snake and make some fame in the rivers and lakes, just to lure the snake out of the hole. And if you want to make some fame, the best way is to use the matter of Li Shao's gang leader this time to unify the Huainan Jianghu forces for the Cao Gang. ”

Li Yan's face was not shocked, but in his heart he said that it was true, yesterday Sikong Gu visited, he guessed that Sikong Gu had treacherous intentions, and vaguely linked the destruction of Sikong family, but he didn't have a clue. And now Sikong Gu knows his true intentions, but Li Yan thinks of another thing: Li Zhou's death and the day before yesterday, Sikong Gu appeared in Yangzhou yesterday, if Sikong Gu deliberately did not inform Yang Shuo of the information, let Jin Youde assassinate Li Zhou, and he appeared again to deduce the truth for the Cao Gang......

Li Yan's dim eyes suddenly became sharp, but he was bumping into Sikong Gu's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Li Yan was shocked in his heart, and secretly said how Sikong Gu guessed what he was thinking at the same time, and listened to Sikong Gu's words:

"I also know the meaning of the two of them, so I hereby swear: If I, Sikong Mengyuan, knew in advance that Li Shao's gang leader was assassinated by Jin Youde, I would let the Sikong family cut off their children and grandchildren, and Sikong would die alone and have no place to be buried, and I would not be able to slash the enemy for the Sikong family in this life!"

Li Yan and Nangong Jun hurriedly said: "Why did Shaoxia (Meng Yuan) say this, the two of us naturally believe you." ”

Sikong Gu's face did not change, nodded, and continued: "If the two of you really believe me, then the matter of the secret covenant of the Cao Gang can be put aside for the time being, and the two of you don't have to worry about it. It's just that there is a plan in the next place, which can make the Yangdaomen overturn today, but this plan requires the Cao Gang and Lu Xun to join forces, I wonder if the two of you are willing to listen?"

Without waiting for Li Yan to express his position, Nangong Jun replied first: "Meng Yuan said quickly." ”

Sikong Gu knew that although Nangong Jun was smart, his personality was slightly impatient, so after waiting for Li Yan to nod, he told him the plan that had been prepared long ago.

Before Sikong Gu finished speaking, Nangong Jun had already clapped his hands, and Sikong Gu was not impatient, and only after Nangong Jun clarified his thoughts did he continue to speak.

Nangong Jun already looked impatient, as if he would be able to take revenge in the next moment. Li Yan is an old man after all, and his mind is extremely meticulous, and after thinking about this plan over and over again, he showed joy and nodded to Sikong Gu. I am also glad in my heart that Sikong Gu is Yang Shuo's junior brother and a friend of his Cao Gang, if Sikong Gu stands on the side of Yangdaomen, I am afraid that the Cao Gang will not be able to hold out today. I couldn't help but complain to Yang Shuo in my heart, Yang Shuo has such a smart junior brother as Sikong Gu, but he is extremely bad at power, and always follows the rules when dealing with the affairs of the gang, which is also one of the reasons why Li Zhou refused to hand over power to Yang Shuo after Li Zhou's misfortune. Although Nangong Jun has an excellent reputation in the gang, in the eyes of the gang elders, he is inferior to Yang Shuo.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, obviously the enemy is now, how can he think about the heir? But if he acts according to Sikong Gu's plan...... This knife door seems to be just hand-to-hand.

Li Yan looked at Sikong Gu, but found that this thin and handsome young man had changed to that smile at some point, Li Yan thought at this time that this smile might be a symbol of Sikong Gu's confidence.

In the wing room in the backyard of the yamen, Lu Xun received a letter from Sikong Gu, who had just left with his front foot, and let someone send the letter over with his back foot. Although Lu Xun was dissatisfied in his heart, he also opened the envelope, and after reading the content in his heart, Lu Xun secretly made up his mind - if Sikong Gu could not be used by him, then he must not stay.

And in Yangdaomen, Jin Youde, who woke up early, had already received the news that the Cao Gang had been released from prison - it was only an hour after he received the news that Li Yan had been imprisoned.

Jin Youde collapsed on the back of the chair at this time, and he slept relatively peacefully at night, but when he woke up in the morning, a disciple informed Jin Zhixin of the news of his disappearance, he thought that the child was angry and ran away again, so he only ordered a few disciples to find his whereabouts. After all, the situation in Yangzhou's rivers and lakes is unstable, and if Jin's letter falls into the hands of the Cao Gang, he really doesn't know what to do.

But those disciples did not bring back the news of Jin Zhixin, but brought back the news that the Cao Gang was detained by the Yamen, Jin Youde was overjoyed when he heard the news, and hugged the worried Lu Niyu in front of the disciples, which made Lu Niyu blush, and he also suffered a heavy blow on his chest.

But not long after, the news that Sikong Gu and Yang Shuo entered the yamen came out intact less than an hour later, which made Jin Youde extremely surprised.

But Jin Youde never thought that one of the reasons for Li Yan and others to be released from prison was that his second son Jin Zhixin, whose tongue had been cut out, was even more unlikely to have predicted that it was Lu Niyu's favorite Jin Zhixin who brought Yangdaomen to destruction.

Now, dark clouds have hung over the Raising Knife Gate, lightning has arrived, but no one has heard the thunder.
