Yangzhou, Qujiang Villa, Liu Mansion.
Many servants were hiding in their rooms, peeking out of the window secretly from time to time. People were coming and going outside, and firelight shone on the windows from time to time. In fact, they had seen this kind of scene several times and were used to it.
The governor Liu Zhao was in his room at the moment, discussing with several men who looked fierce.
"According to what you said, your men noticed that Ye Sanlang has not left the Laifu Restaurant since yesterday, right?"
"Indeed, that's true, but according to your wishes, he is likely to be disguised in various forms, so my younger brothers may not recognize him after the disguise."
Liu Zhaoxin said that indeed, if Ye Sanlang changed his appearance, no one would recognize him. After all, even he couldn't recognize the Li Song he pretended to be.
"But I don't think that boy will be in his room in the middle of the night, right? Anyway, I will act at the most ugly moment, so that you guys can cheer me up and don't doze off. That boy's martial arts are extremely high. Come to think of it. You have also heard the rumors that he defeated a group of water bandits in Nishimoto with a merchant ship from the Youzhou Chamber of Commerce, so I think that in order to deal with him alone, you have to work together to have a chance, and I hope you can unite as one."
Several strong men laughed. In their opinion, the governor's words were quite ridiculous. The governor, who was originally responsible for maintaining public order and fighting evil forces, actually made several of their gang leaders unite. To outsiders, wouldn't it be a big joke?
"Prince Liu, please just be at ease. No matter how powerful that kid is, he is just a mortal. With a hundred or so brothers here, we can't believe that he has three heads and six arms!"
After saying that, several bandit leaders opened the door. The one-eyed dragon raised his arms and shouted: "They say that our Dadao Club is the largest gang in Yangzhou after the Cao Gang. Today I will set an example. Dadao Club will do it." Brothers, let’s take the lead! I’ve asked Master Zhao Xiang to lead the spies, let’s go to the alley near Laifu Restaurant to meet them now.”
After finishing speaking, the crowd immediately made way for several bandit leaders. Several people walked quickly through it, and the people behind them followed suit and filed out. In the dark night, a long golden snake seemed to emerge from the road in Dijiang Villa, lighting up the dark night. Liu Zhao stood on the threshold of his home, looking at the long golden snake disappearing in the dark night, his heart full of expectation and worry. He expected Ye Sanlang to be killed. This was natural. I believe all officials with stains thought so. Anyone who didn’t have stains on his hands, just take his own way of making money as an example, it was a serious crime of treason. If Ye Sanlang is caught with the serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, it will not be a problem for him as a mere governor. How many people have been supported by this business chain, not to mention the Ye family in Jiannan and Li Qiu, the king of Bohai County? Something happened to him, and even if Li Longji didn't hold him accountable, these people would get rid of him. What's worrying is Li Longji's attitude towards this matter, which proves that he has begun to pay attention to Jiangnan, or maybe he has heard some rumors, but he has countless spies on his hands; and there is Ye Sanlang's ability, I don't know Can this rabble kill him?
He shook his head, sighed, and decided not to think about it anymore. If they were caught by Ye Sanlang and became his witnesses, then he would really be dead, even though Li Qiu said he would send experts to supervise him. , but now I can't do anything, so I might as well go to sleep. Maybe, when I wake up, things will change in Yangzhou.
On the other side, on the second floor of Laifu Restaurant, in front of a window, Ye Sanlang stood by the window. From him, he could clearly see the street. The pedestrians on the street were bustling, the lights were dim, and there were many people. Although it was already night, he had already grasped the movements of the spies from the small gangs, and the people from the Cao Gang were also hiding among the pedestrians on the street, ready to take action at any time according to his signal.
He closed his eyes and once again drew his thoughts to the distant Oujiang Courtyard. At this moment, he suddenly let out a soft breath and immediately retracted his thoughts, with cold sweat flowing out of his forehead. Just now, he clearly noticed that someone was aware of his consciousness and was about to trace the source. Fortunately, he was sensitive enough to regain his consciousness.
However, he still clearly saw that the mob gathered by Liu Zhao was coming here. A long golden snake in the dark night was particularly conspicuous. Judging from their situation, it was very likely that it was the same as the one caught in the afternoon. The incense master of the Broadsword Club said the same thing. Their meeting place was nearby Nanming Lane. He thought about it and decided to let the Caicao Gang ambush him as planned.
He walked out of the door, went to the next room, and knocked on the door.
"Who?!" asked a fierce voice
"Leader Liu, I'm here."
Within a few seconds, the door suddenly opened, and Liu Feilong's sturdy body appeared in Ye Sanlang's eyes. He moved in next door to Ye Sanlang just for this ambush. Those small gangs had been very arrogant recently, and he had long wanted to teach them a lesson. What's more, Ye Sanlang was kind to the Liu family, and this time he fought against the Cao Gang. You must try your best.
Ye Sanlang walked into his room and sat at the table. Liu Feilong immediately closed the door after confirming that no one around him noticed.
"The war is about to begin. Yushi Ye will not suddenly visit Liu's room, but what happened?" Liu Feilong asked anxiously.
He shook his head, and Liu Feilong's nervous heart was relieved, but his next words shocked him like a bolt from the blue.
"Liu Zhao most likely hired a master of cultivation. I was almost tracked by him just now, but he seemed to be more curious than murderous."
"The planned ambush?"
"Do as you say!" Ye Sanlang said decisively, "I have found out that those gangsters are rushing to Nanming Lane. You can have your men disguised as Zhao Xiangzhu and other ambush men ready. The battle is imminent."
"Okay! Then I will listen to you, Censor, and I will destroy the prestige of these small gangs and the governor of Laoshizi tonight!"
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out, probably to arrange an ambush for later.
Ye Sanlang looked out the window at the dark night, his heart full of worry. However, except for the unexpected factor of the master, it was obvious that from all aspects, his side should not lose. He sighed softly, picked up a bottle of wine on the table and drank it in one gulp.
Three hours later, the street was dark with no pedestrians. It was eerily quiet. The men headed by One-Eyed Dragon and his Dasword Society first arrived at Nanming Lane near Laifu Restaurant. He blew a special whistle, and not long after, a person jumped from a nearby house. It was Zhao Jinchang, the incense owner he had sent to find out the way.
The group of them was already exhausted after running for a long time, not to mention that there would be a big battle later. He waved his hand and asked his men to rest first and wait for the men of Yao Rentang and several other gangs. Then, he pulled Zhao Jinchang over and asked, "Zhao Xiangzhu, how is the situation?"
Zhao Jinchang smiled and said: "No problem, the censor has never left the inn. My brothers and I are keeping a close eye on him. We can take action at any time."
One-eyed Long suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he asked: "What's wrong with your voice?"
When Zhao Jinchang saw what had happened, he immediately laughed and said, "I've been watching here for a long time, maybe I've caught the cold."
No, he was lying. One-eyed dragon had been in the world for so many years, and he could tell whether he was telling the truth or a lie just by looking at the man's eyes. This Zhao Xiangzhu is probably fake, which means...
He immediately stabbed the sharp knife in his hand into the chest of Zhao Jinchang in front of him. Without looking at his shocked eyes, he turned back. Just when he was about to shout "Retreat", a person quickly fell from the roof on the side, and the big knife in his hand fell from the The head of the one-eyed dragon penetrated, and he took advantage of the momentum of landing to split the one-eyed dragon. He saw two pieces of meat spraying blood and falling to both sides. This made the members of the Broadsword Club in the front rows frightened.
"It's too late! One-eyed dragon." The man sighed.
At this time, sharp-eyed people from the Broadsword Club had already recognized the tough man holding a sword in front of them. They shouted loudly: "It's... it's... Liu Feilong!"
Liu Feilong, the powerful leader of the Cao Gang in Jiangnan, could scare ordinary children to stop crying when his name was revealed.
He raised his head, his eyes showing endless murderous intent. ;
