Feng Chuan and Jin Zhen stayed in the Baiyu Gang for one night and then went to Baishi Town with Shang Yuan, accompanied by two members of the Baiyu Gang.

Two days later, Feng Chuan and Jin Zhen came to Baishi Town, which is close to the Baishi tribe outside Shangyuan City, and Baishi Town is very prosperous because pedestrians and merchants travel between Shangyuan City and Baishi Tribe.

When they arrived in Baishi Town, Shang Yuan separated from Fengchuan and them, and then Jin Zhen and Fengchuan found an inn to live in Baishi Town. After staying at the inn, Jin Zhen took Fengchuan to get to know the various characters in the northwest of Shangyuan City, and before he knew it, the twenty-day period of Wanyuzhuang had arrived.

On the day of the appointment in Wanyuzhuang, Jin Zhen and Fengchuan came to Wanyuzhuang early, and after reporting their names, Wanyuzhuang came out alone to lead Jin Zhen and Fengchuan to a hall in Wanyuzhuang. As soon as Jin Zhen entered the hall, he saw a person sitting in the hall and said, "I thought that my Jin Zhen came early, but I didn't expect the Xi Gang Master to come earlier than me." The person sitting in the hall was the Xi gang leader in Jin Zhen's words, and the Xi gang leader listened to Jin Zhen's words and said: "Where did I come early, Qiu Yongtai's gang leader was much earlier than me." Jin Zhen: "Then why don't you see Qiu Yongtai's gang leader?" Xi gang leader: "I saw him go to the back of the hall just now." Jin Zhen: "Oh. After saying this, Jin Zhen found a place to sit down with Feng Chuan and continued: "I don't know how the Xi gang leader is doing?" Xi gang leader: "Recently, there are always some people who think that my big Xi gang is good to bully, and if there is nothing to do, they will come to provoke my big Xi gang, since the death of Mu Yuantu's gang leader, I have killed two people with my own hands." Jin Zhen: "I feel that it has not been peaceful recently, and I have fought with the Blood Knife Gang once with the Money Gang." Gang Leader Xi: "Being a neighbor with the powerful Blood Knife Gang, presumably the Jin Gang Leader has pressure in his heart." Jin Zhen: "What's the matter, eat and sleep like that." ”

After the Xi gang leader heard Jin Zhen's words, there were footsteps behind the hall, and then a white-haired old man walked out of the hall, and the white-haired old man was the Qiu Yongtai gang leader that the Xi gang leader said. Qiu Yongtai came out from the back of the hall and saw Jin Zhen and said, "Gang Master Jin, you are here." Jin Zhen listened and said: "I don't know when the Qiu gang leader is free, how about we have a drink together?" Qiu Yongtai: "How about tonight?" Jin Zhen: "Okay." After Jin Zhen replied to Qiu Yongtai's words, he turned his head and said to the Xi Gang Leader: "I'm going to drink tonight, I don't know if the Xi Gang Leader is willing to go?" Xi Gang Leader: "I still have something to do, so I won't go." ”

After the Xi gang leader replied to Jin Zhen's words, the four people in the hall heard footsteps outside the hall, and then Fengchuan saw Zhang Wei and Qi Hongjing enter the hall.

After Zhang Wei and Qi Hongjing entered the hall, people arrived one after another, and after a while, fifteen people gathered in the hall.

After fifteen people had gathered in the hall, two people came out from the back of the hall. The person in front of the two people was full of white hair and a white robe, and it was Zong Xu, the owner of Wanyu Village, and the middle-aged man with black hair and black clothes in the back was Zong Yuanheng, the adopted son of Zong Xu.

Zong Xu walked out of the back of the hall and sat down on the main seat in the hall and said: "I should invite you from afar to let everyone suffer from the fatigue of the journey. However, the leader of the Datong Gang passed away suddenly, and the northwest of Shangyuan City was full of grievances, and the blood and light continued, I don't want to see everyone in the quagmire of grievances, and suffered from the disaster of blood and light, so I had to invite you to come to Wanyuzhuang to resolve the grievances. After hearing Zong Xu's words, everyone in the hall did not immediately reply, but talked with each other, and everyone talked for a long time before they quieted down. The hall was quiet, and Qiu Yongtai opened his mouth and asked Zong Xu: "I don't know how Zong Zhuang mainly resolves grievances?" Zong Xu: "I hope that we all form an alliance, and after forming an alliance, we will become one." Since we have become one, we will bring up the grievances between us, and then we will negotiate and resolve them, so that we don't have to use swords and swords. Of course, there is another advantage of forming an alliance, that is, when we encounter a strong enemy in the future, the allies will advance and retreat together and help each other. Hearing this, everyone in the hall felt that most of the grievances between the gangs were blood feuds, and how could they be resolved through negotiation, but no one refuted Zong Xu's words. However, some people think that Zong Xu pretends to settle grievances for everyone, but in fact, he wants everyone to form an alliance.

Seeing that everyone in the hall was contemplative and didn't reply to their words, Zong Xu then spoke: "I don't know what everyone thinks of my proposal?" As soon as Zong Xu's words fell, he saw Xu Shennian, a deputy gang leader of the Datong Gang, say: "We only represent a few gangs, even if we form an alliance, we can only resolve the grievances between us." And there are still a large number of gangs in the northwest area of Shangyuan City that do not possess the martial artists of the Inner Rest Realm, and the grievances between them are much more than those between our gangs, I wonder if the owner of the Zong Village will also resolve the grievances between them?" Zong Xu: "Of course, we will form an alliance first, and then invite those gangs that do not have the martial artists of the Inner Rest Realm to join the alliance, so that we can resolve the grievances between the gangs in the northwest of Shangyuan City." Hearing this, Qiu Yongtai opened his mouth and asked Zong Xu: "Just now the owner of Zong Zhuang said that the allies will advance and retreat together in the future, if the allies are not aligned, then how can they advance and retreat together?" Zong Xu: "The enemy gang leader is a good question, I think after the alliance is formed, we have to elect an alliance leader, and the alliance leader will lead everyone in the future." What do you think?" Hearing this, Jin Zhen wanted to open his mouth but didn't open his mouth, but Xu Shennian opened his mouth and said: "Then who should be elected as the leader of the alliance, and what if the leader of the alliance acts unfairly and causes us to suffer losses?" Zong Xu: "To be competent as the leader of the alliance, of course, you must be able to get everyone's approval in all aspects, as long as you agree, presumably the actions of the alliance leader are also agreed by you." ”

Hearing Zong Xu's words, no one immediately spoke. After a while, Yuan Liuxiao, another deputy gang leader of the Datong Gang, said: "I don't know how to set the rules in the alliance after the alliance?" Zong Xu: "Of course, the rules in the alliance will be discussed and decided together after we form the alliance, and we must definitely satisfy all of us." Yuan Liuxiao: "Listening to what the owner of the village said, I agree to form an alliance." ”

After Yuan Liuxin agreed to form an alliance, others also agreed to form an alliance after discussing it for a while. Seeing that everyone agreed to form an alliance, Zong Xu decided to hold an alliance ceremony tomorrow after consulting with everyone.

After determining the time of the alliance, everyone in the hall said goodbye to Zongxu and left one after another.

Feng Chuan and Jin Zhen left Wanyuzhuang and returned to the inn, Fengchuan asked Jin Zhen: "Why did my brother agree to form an alliance just now, if the alliance is successful, won't the Duoqian Gang listen to Wanyuzhuang's orders in the future?" Jin Zhen: "The situation is forced, and the people who can open their mouths to refuse the alliance have not spoken, how can I help anger Wanyuzhuang with more money." Besides, the alliance hasn't worked out yet. Feng Chuan: "Then brother, do you mean that the alliance may not be successful?" Jin Zhen: "I don't know if the alliance can succeed, but everyone readily agreed to the alliance, I think this is not normal." Feng Chuan: "What if the alliance is successful?" Could it be that my brother will let the Duoqian Gang, who has worked so hard to work hard, obey Wanyuzhuang's orders?" Jin Zhen: "After the alliance, everyone will jointly customize the rules of the alliance, and the rules of the alliance need to be unanimously agreed by everyone, so I believe that with the constraints of the rules of the alliance, Wanyuzhuang cannot act recklessly." Feng Chuan didn't speak again when he heard Jin Zhen's words, but Jin Zhen paused and continued: "It's good when the leader of the Datong Gang is here, the leader of the Datong Gang doesn't like to meddle in the affairs of other gangs, and he doesn't have the ambition of the owner of Wanyu Village." ”
