Chapter 127: Yeli Island (4)
Donghai League advocates that Xiao Tang is a very powerful person, saying that he is powerful does not necessarily mean how shocking and amazing his martial arts and intelligence are, but that he can insist on surviving in the cracks for decades, left and right, no one can be offended, and under his leadership, Donghai League has lived a very nourishing life, which is unprecedented in his sleek way of life.

A large part of the sphere of influence of the East China Sea Alliance and the Giant Whale Gang overlaps, and the maritime trade and wealth they operate are also roughly the same.
Zhang Xiaotang always wears a square scarf, a brown cloth gown, rosacea, white hair, wrinkles on his face, and a pair of slitted eyes that shine between the opening and closing, looking like an old gentleman in the account room. Maybe he always likes to settle accounts on weekdays, and he is known as the "iron abacus" by people, no one has ever seen him use martial arts, and no one knows his depth, but he is praised for his shrewd business acumen.
There were four sea ships from the East China Sea League, two of which were wide-bottomed cargo ships, but when you look at the draft of the ships, you know that they are in an empty state.
As soon as Zhang Xiaotang landed on the coast, Gao Shuyun and Concubine Hua Yun, who came to greet him, joked with him: "Lord Zhang is so arrogant, you have to take four boats with you when you travel, and it costs a lot of silver to go down, isn't it heartbreaking?"
Zhang Xiaotang said with a smile: "How can my old Zhang do a loss-making business, when these two cargo ships came, they brought some fresh goods from the south of the Yangtze River and sold them to some merchants in the north along the way, and I made a lot of money from the East China Sea League." How could I, Lao Zhang, do something to break the bank!"
Gao Shuyun shook his head and said, "But you may be going to break the fortune when you come here this time." ”
Zhang Xiaotang's eyes widened and said, "Why?"
Gao Shuyun pointed to his red clothes and said, "Can't you see it? I'm a bridegroom, don't you want to give some gift money?"
Zhang Xiaotang squinted at Gao Shuyun for a while, then looked at Concubine Hua Yun beside him, and then pointed at the two of them with his finger and said, "The bride!!, you two?"
Concubine Hua Yun chirped: "Bah, bah, bah, you old thing, you spit out some messy things in your mouth." He's with my grandniece Ming Yushi, who said it was with me!"
Zhang Xiaotang touched his head and smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be with Miss Mingyu." It's a good thing, it's a good thing, but my old Zhang is poor and white, and I didn't bring any congratulatory gifts, so it seems that I want to drink the wedding wine of the two for nothing. ”
"There is the best congratulatory gift in front of me, but I don't know if Zhang Mengzhu is willing to part with love. Concubine Hua Yun said with a smile.
Zhang Xiaotang narrowed his eyes again, looked at Concubine Hua Yun and said, "I know what kind of congratulatory gift you are talking about, but this gift is too big, I'm afraid your nephew and son-in-law can't stand it." ”
Gao Shuyun said indifferently: "No matter what the gift, I can afford it, and when I return the gift, I can naturally afford it." ”
"Oh, it seems that there is an agreement between the Sky Gang and the Mountain and Sea Sect. ”
"Exactly. It's just that Zhang Meng's master is reluctant to give up his vote!"
"I'm not interested in the throne of the Seven Seas Heavenly King, my Lao Zhang only thinks about making money, and being the king is not my Lao Zhang's style. ”
"Then why don't you vote for me, someone who can bring endless wealth to your East China Sea Alliance?"
"Oh, things that can make money, my Lao Zhang is most interested, let's hear it. ”
Gao Shuyun said with a smile: "I know that you have always wanted to go to Goryeo and Dongying to do business, I have a joint venture with the royal family over there, which is specially used to do antique and jewelry business, there is a lot of oil and water, if you ......"
"Okay, okay, my Lao Zhang likes to buy and sell with a lot of oil and water. ”
Gao Shuyun raised his eyebrows and said, "So, you agreed?!"
Zhang Xiaotang lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Of course not." ”
"Why?" Gao Shuyun frowned.
"Alas, my old Zhang naturally likes gold and silver, but I promised the jade lion Zhang Yuheng. This year's vote is for him. So no matter how much oil and water you have, you can only wait for the next time. ”
"I see. It's just that Zhang Yuheng is dead, your wishful thinking, will the Giant Whale Gang really appreciate it?"
Zhang Xiaotang smiled and said solemnly: "If there is an agreement, it should be obeyed, the giant whale has helped me in the East China Sea Alliance, and I should naturally repay him, whether it is life or death, it is the same." ”
Gao Shuyun saw that he was serious and knew that there was no room for turning around in this matter, so he reluctantly smiled and said, "It seems that our Sky Gang is going to compete with the Giant Whale Gang." ”
"Exactly, life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky, and the high helper is the master, this time you have to rely on your ability. I hope that in the past few years, your martial arts have not been left behind. ”
"Martial arts are naturally still there, the rivers and lakes are high and the waves are urgent, how dare Gao slack off! I just hope that Zeng Hanzhi, the successor of the Giant Whale Gang, thinks the same way, otherwise Gao will not be very lonely!" Gao Shuyun said with pride.
His words almost seemed to have taken the position of the King of the Seven Seas in his arms, but it is no wonder that Gao Shuyun's famous stunt Long Sky Divine Finger is famous in the rivers and lakes, and he is not sure how many times stronger than Zeng Hanzhi's martial arts, so it is understandable.
Zhang Xiaotang said with a smile: "The competition is two wins in three games, in addition to you, you need to win one more game." ”
Gao Shuyun said proudly: "I can win all three games by myself." ”
Zhang Xiaotang laughed and said: "The high gang leader is so arrogant, Zhang admires it." ”
And when he had said this, he led all his men and set up camp himself.
Gao Shuyun said loudly: "Isn't Master Zhang going to go to my place to drink a cup of wine?"
"When you become the king of the seven seas, my old Zhang will come to congratulate you again, and I will prepare a big gift for you at that time!" Zhang Xiaotang responded loudly as he walked.
Concubine Hua Yun snorted coldly: "This old fox!"
The next day, it was time to hold the Seven Seas Heavenly King Selection Conference, but the Whale Gang still didn't come.
The site of the meeting was chosen on a high platform in the huge lava cave at the top of the mountain, and there was a hole in the lava cave that opened to the sky.
In the cave, there were elites of various gangs, about 300 people, all standing under the high platform to watch the battle.
On the high platform, there are more than a dozen long stone tables, four of which are reserved for the four gangs that are allied, and six stone tables are occupied by representatives of important local chambers of commerce from Goryeo, Dongying, Luzon and other Nanyang countries.
