Unexpectedly, he pondered for a moment, then made a complaint, revised a letter, and invited an envoy to bring it to Cao Zijian. The general idea was that the Huanglong Gang was a Jianghu gang, and they rashly welcomed the Wei royal family, fearing that it would affect the reputation of the second prince, so the Huanglong Gang At the appointed time tomorrow morning, we will set up the guard of honor and publicly pay homage to His Highness the Second Prince on the river.
His meaning was very clear, he didn't want to have a private meeting. Although it sounded nice, in fact, he was worried that Xia Guo and Jiang Luo would become suspicious.
The agreed time was early tomorrow morning, and there was still plenty of time. Therefore, Huang Sanqi temporarily put aside his worries and held a banquet to entertain the king rat.
It should be said that this king rat is indeed very strange. He is thin and rickety, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. At first glance, he really lives up to his name, like a big rat that has become a spirit. At a glance, you will feel that this person is man-made.
This face-to-face relationship is really awkward. But Huang Sanqi was not only not embarrassed by what he talked about, but was also a little overjoyed.
The King Rat is here to form an alliance.
Jiang Fan's acceptance of the canonization means that he attaches great importance to the strategic position of this fiefdom, so it is very likely that he will accept it forcefully. Ji Le was also a little unable to sit still. In order to take precautions, Ji Le claimed that he had sent envoys to the five countries and requested the five countries to boycott according to the neutrality agreement of that year. And Wang Shu was specially sent to meet with Huang Sanqi, intending to establish an alliance on this matter and advance and retreat together.
Wang Shu also brought a piece of news. Prince Jiang had led three thousand troops and marched towards the Huangsha River under a guard of honor. He must have something to do with this matter.
While Huang Sanqi was shocked, Wang Shu also showed his sincerity and introduced the experts he had brought, claiming that if Jiang Fan wanted to do something evil, he could join forces with the Huanglong Gang to deal with it.
Huang Sanqi naturally expressed his gratitude, and even expressed his great anger towards Jiang Xiaoyao. Although in his opinion, three thousand soldiers and horses were nothing, but after all, they represented the Qin military, and could even represent the attitude of the empress. Obviously, She wanted this fiefdom to belong to Qin and directly border Wei. However, this area was too sensitive and she definitely didn't want to get involved herself, so she let this face-to-face leader come out to cause trouble.
Now that she has this idea, Huang Sanqi feels very uncomfortable. That tyrant is a tyrant who kills everyone if he disagrees. Although the Huanglong Gang is a powerful gang, compared with the Great Qin Cavalry, they can only be regarded as scum.
Normally speaking, Huang Sanqi could stay away, but unfortunately, there was a special reason why he couldn't let go of Xuanhutian Waterfall. Around here, the Huanglong Gang had worked hard to manage it for decades.
With the Paradise City Alliance, Huang Sanqi felt a lot more at ease. But this is still not enough. A stronger ally is needed behind the scenes, and in this area, Xia Kingdom obviously cannot count on it, and the most suitable one is Wei.
Wang Shu narrowed his eyes: "So, it's a bit of a coincidence that the Second Prince came here."
Huang Sanqi's heart moved: "What Manager Wang means is..."
Wang Shu bared his teeth and chirped in a smile: "Qin wants this place and threatens Wei directly. Gang leader, do you think King Wei will ignore it?"
Huang Sanqi nodded slightly: "So, King Wei is also coming to fight for us?"
"No, no." Wang Shu said: "It doesn't make much sense for King Wei to win over us. After all, this place belongs to King Xiaoyao. In a certain family's opinion, it is enough for King Wei to just maintain the status quo."
Huang Sanqi suddenly realized: "Yes, King Wei can't advance, but he can't retreat either, so this second prince is likely to be our help."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If we cooperate and have the support of Wei State, the empress cannot take action openly. Jiang Xiaoyao's secret manipulation alone will not accomplish anything."
Huang Sanqi slapped the table: "Okay, it seems that I want to meet this second prince."
Wang Shu's little eyes flashed: "As a member of the Paradise family, it seems that there is some inconvenience. I will ask Gang Leader Huang to come forward to deal with this matter."
Huang Sanqi chuckled: "As you should. Thank you, Mr. Wang, for coming today. You and I hit it off right away. Come on, Huang will give you three glasses of wine to Brother Wang!"
"Drink together, drink together..."
The two looked at each other, smiled, and drank three glasses.
The next day, Huang Sanqi's Dakaishui Village, where Wang Shu and others were settled, set up a guard of honor to welcome the second prince. The two parties formally met on a large ship in the center.
Cao Zijian is dressed in blue and brocade robes, with a jade belt around his waist. His face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are as bright as stars, and his lips contain a smile that makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze. Although he treats Jianghu people like Huang Sanqi, he doesn't have any airs.
From the very beginning, Huang Sanqi left a good impression.
Cao Zijian was full of praise for the Huanglong Gang Water Village, "The leader of the Huanglong Gang is well-run. It's no wonder that the Huanglong Gang dominates the river."
"Where," Huang Sanqi said with a humble smile: "The Huanglong Gang has been traveling to and from the waterways of Wei for many years. Thanks to your care, the business has become bigger. Speaking of which, if Huang didn't come from a rough background and had an embarrassing status, he would have been killed long ago. It’s time to pay a visit to the King of Wei and His Highness the Prince.”
Cao Zijian said: "This is nonsense. Although the Huanglong Gang is a Jianghu gang, customs clearance and tax payment have never been ambiguous. The Wei State should provide convenience."
When they met for the first time, the atmosphere was good, and the two soon chatted happily.
After chatting for a while, Cao Zijian looked around, especially the majestic Xuanhutian Waterfall and praised: "The Huanglong Gang is a great place. It should be prosperous together."
Seeing that the time had come, Huang Sanqi put down the tea cup and sighed.
"Why does Gang Leader Huang sigh?"
Huang Sanqi said: "Although this place is not a prosperous place, it is also a water village that has been run by our Huanglong Gang for generations. Unfortunately, it seems that it cannot be saved now."
Cao Zijian actually got straight to the point: "Gang Leader Huang, are you talking about the canonization by the imperial court?"
Seeing the other party speak bluntly, Huang Sanqi did not mince words: "It is precisely for this reason that the regent of Qin is coming with his troops. He must be taking over the fiefdom and driving us away."
Cao Zijian looked a little indignant when he heard this: "Everyone knows that Qin is a tiger and a wolf. Where is Jiang Xiaoyao? It's clear that Ying Wushuang is eyeing him!"
Huang Sanqi looked a little sad: "I know it well, but I can't do anything. The Qin State is tyrannical. How can I, the people of Huanglong Gang, fight with the officials."
Cao Zijian snapped the case: "What Gang Leader Huang said is wrong. When the five countries demarcated the national boundaries, this place was a neutral place. Ying Wushuang's move was basically an invasion. Can a strong country bully the people? I, Cao, am not talented, so I will definitely do it." This matter is called injustice."
Huang Sanqi looked happy, Cao Zijian had made his attitude clear, and he obviously did not want to involve Wei Guo in his own name. But as long as he comes forward, isn't it actually Wei Guo who comes forward?
"Thank you, Your Highness, for speaking up. Huang is grateful."
Cao Zijian waved his hand: "The Ming people do not speak secretly, and Ying Wushuang expands the territory, which is really detrimental to our Wei Dynasty. My father is also very angry. If Gang Leader Huang has to deal with it, I will give my best to help without asking for leave." He just wants a stable country, Cao Zijian speaks sincerely, what does the Yellow Gang think?"
Huang Sanqi hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists, with a grateful face: "Thank you so much, Your Highness. With the support of Wei State, Huang has the confidence to take on Jiang Xiaoyao."
