One is a long-established first-class player, and the other is a newcomer who has just emerged.
The emergence of such a situation was something that no one expected. It also made all the major forces re-evaluate the strength of Gang Leader Li. Not only did that young man enter the first-class level, he was also an extremely powerful group among them.
Needless to say, everyone was afraid, but it was Zhang Wu and Zhao Xin's turn to be unlucky. They thought that although Li Xiang was a first-rate master, he was still young after all, and he should be far inferior to an old martial artist like Zhu Tianxu.
.
Unexpectedly, the cruel reality slapped them hard and sold them on their laps.
Naturally, it was too late to surrender at this time. Just when the two of them wanted to pack up and run away, Yuan Gang blocked the door with a lot of people. Although they were also big bosses, those two people were not even a bit worse than Yuan Gang.
, when the next one dies, another wound is taken by him.
However, just when he wanted to take the living person back, he encountered obstacles.
Dozens of officers and soldiers holding swords surrounded a group of thugs in the center. The leader was wearing gold armor and looked solemn. The battle between the two sides was about to break out.
"My lord, what is the purpose of this move?"
Yuan Gang frowned. It was already a consensus that the government would never interfere with the gang's affairs. Moreover, even if the Qingzhu Gang was in turmoil, the regular money handed over to the government every year would not be less. This is why both parties are in peace. You
Good, my good point is one of them.
Now that his way is blocked, it puts him in trouble.
"It is the law of the imperial court that those who kill people in private fights must act in accordance with the law and be punished by death for the principal and forced labor reform for the accomplices. Not only are you fighting in private, but you are also trying to control the freedom of others and enforce the law on behalf of the imperial court. You are really brave!"
General Jin Jia shouted loudly and slapped him with a big label. No, to be precise, these are all facts, but in the past, they followed unwritten rules, and the rules of the court have long been thrown out of the window.
It's okay if we don't pursue these matters. If we do pursue them, we will be beheaded.
The deaths and injuries caused by the bloody fights between gangs, as well as the ordinary people who were accidentally involved because of this matter, no matter what it is, if you really want to take care of it, you must catch it as soon as possible.
"I am Yuan Gang, the leader of the Qingzhu Gang. We, the Qingzhu Gang, have always been at odds with the government. If you can make it easier, our Gang Leader Li will naturally come to thank you. But if you insist on fighting to the end, we are not stupid.
.”
Yuan Gang took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. After so many years, there were really not many people who dared to yell at him.
However, the person in front of me is an official and cannot be killed casually. Otherwise, if he goes against the imperial court, not to mention him, even the entire Qingzhu Gang will have to disappear from Beibo City. If his fate is better in the future, he will go to other cities and provinces to beg for food.
Eat it, or turn it into a bandit.
If they are unlucky, they may not be able to leave this city.
"Hmph, you dare to fight with me?" General Jin Jia sneered.
Seeing that they remained silent, he immediately became even more proud and waved his hand, asking the officers and soldiers behind him to capture all the troublemakers.
"Let's see who dares!"
However, as long as everything is in peace, Yuan Gang will not surrender when he sees these officials trying to take action. He shouted angrily and pulled out the saber on his waist. The gang members behind him immediately responded and took out their weapons.
, prepare for battle.
Forget the mere verbal dispute, if so many of his gang members, including himself, were taken away by the government, how could he have the face to meet Li Xiang?
It doesn’t take more than half a sentence to talk without speculation, and neither party is paper-headed. A few words of exchange will be enough to solve the problem.
Almost as soon as Yuan Gang finished speaking, General Jin Jia took action. The long sword flew in his hand, and the two weapons collided with each other.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, due to the quality of the weapons, Yuan Gang was defeated. A sword was pointed at his neck and he was unable to move. If he had been forced to move, he would probably be greeted with more than just physical pain.
They were both warriors. During the battle, the two discovered each other's ways. He could clearly feel that the golden-armored general had a bloody aura and murderous intent, as well as the opponent's skill in fighting. This was definitely a match.
He is a battlefield veteran who has killed countless people and has rich combat experience.
Facing such a person, it is best not to act rashly when you are at a disadvantage, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Take them all away."
The golden-armored general tilted his head and signaled the soldiers he brought to suppress the gangsters.
When the thugs of the Qingzhu Gang saw that their bosses had been captured, they didn't dare to resist. On the one hand, the majesty of the imperial court was there, and it was one thing that he didn't want to take action. On the other hand, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat him in a real fight.
other side.
The people who came to besiege them today were all officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, not the policemen in the yamen. The fighting power between the two sides was not of the same level at all.
"Sir, you are very skilled, but I don't know what to call you?"
Yuan Gang looked calm and remained unmoved even though his hands were shackled by two burly officers and soldiers.
Because he knew that this matter would not be settled like this. Li Xiang would never turn a blind eye to the matter. With that man's current influence in Beibo City, it would not be easy for the government to take them down.
.
"Zhao Chengkun." General Jinjia raised his eyebrows and said, "What? You still want to come back with revenge?"
"Don't dare."
Yuan Gang shook his head. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. When they are at a low point, speaking harsh words will only appear cowardly and cause unnecessary trouble for themselves. Apart from that, there is nothing else.
…
About half a day later.
Juyi Hall.
Li Xiang, who was studying martial arts, received the news that Yuan Gang and others were captured. He stood up suddenly and frowned: "Is the news true?"
"This is what Xiao Jin saw with his own eyes. It's correct."
Zhong Can looked grave and said, "What should I do, Mr. Li? Are we going to rescue Yuan Gang and the others?"
We must save, but the method of saving is very important.
Li Xiang looked thoughtful and paced back and forth. Yuan Gang and others had no conflicts with the government on weekdays. Looking beyond the appearance to see the essence, what really worried him was this action. I am afraid it was directed at the Qingzhu Gang, or even him.
.
Although he is now a top-notch master and has few opponents at the same level, if he wants to go against the government, he will be destroying himself with an egg against a stone.
The military force possessed by a country is always beyond the imagination of an individual. Even in a small city like Beibo City, the soldiers have many powerful weapons in their hands. Powerful crossbows and specially made weapons are just trivial.
What's even more terrifying is that these armies can form formations. Once the formation is formed, it is possible to defeat the strong with the weak and win with the few. Even if you have great abilities, you can fall into the formation and face the overwhelming force.
With the continuous siege and killing, there is only a dead end.
"It seems that I have to visit the people in the court."
If the government really intends to take action against him, they should be organizing their troops by now. Moreover, rather than using his men to scare off the enemy, if they want to deal with him, it would be more reasonable to capture the thief first and capture the king first, and surround and kill him first.
The reason why no one has signed up to Juyitang yet proves that the government does not want to completely break up with him.
Then, things get interesting.
After thinking about it, he first asked someone to prepare gifts, then changed into a more low-key robe, put a hat on his head, and headed towards the city lord's palace.
The city lord of this world is almost the same as the mayor of the previous life, but his power and status are even higher, and he has absolute command over the army.
The so-called City Lord's Mansion is like a city within a city. It is surrounded by a high wall on the outside, and there are fully armed officers and soldiers at the gate. It can be said that it is the most easily defended, difficult to attack, and amazingly defensive place in the entire Beibo City.
.
And most of the experts from the government gathered here.
…
In the tall and spacious castle, beside a plan table, Shangguan Silong was writing furiously and reviewing memorials, such as which city areas needed financial support, where the measures were not in place, and the cleanup of some rogue bandits around the city, etc.
All orders require his consent.
Next to him, General Zhao Chengkun, the golden-armored general, waited respectfully and said nothing.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was the city lord's confidant, the loyal general of Beibo City, with overwhelming authority, but in the eyes of the man in front of him, he was just a handy subordinate.
"Is the matter settled?"
Shangguan Silong's tone was calm, as if nothing was worth mentioning in his eyes. Although in front of Su Xin, he was polite and enthusiastic, and seemed to have no airs at all, but he was facing the number one of Hantiemen.
A genius and a famous governor, there is nothing wrong with his attitude being respectful.
But in the eyes of others, everything is completely different. He is the only super-class master in Beibo City, and he is also the undisputed strongest. In this city, he has the power to suppress everything.
In terms of power, the position of the city lord is extremely noble. He is responsible for everything from the yamen to the leaders of the streets.
The entire Beibo City army also directly obeyed his orders.
Even a wealthy family like the Zhang family, which has been established for a long time, has to obey his orders and can only fawn over and not dare to make mistakes.
"It's done, but will this really not cause Li Xiang's backlash? What if he impulsively robs the prison, or just ignores it, how should we deal with it?"
Zhao Chengkun had a trace of doubt on his face.
Of course it was not his own decision to attack the Qingzhu Gang, and he did not have the guts to decide whether to stay in a gang of hundreds of people.
"Who can reach the level of a first-class master at the age of less than twenty? Who is not unparalleled in talent, talent, and opportunities? Such a person will not be so brainless and lacking in intelligence. If he is an enemy of us, leave it to him
It’s just a dead end.”
After taking a few sips of the already cold tea beside him, Shangguan Silong said calmly: "If he has a brain, he can understand my intention with just a little thought. Of course, if he really can't understand it and wants to make something
If there is any dangerous move, just wipe him out completely."
During the conversation, he did not take the first-class masters into consideration at all. As for the big leaders and hundreds of members of the Qingzhu Gang, in his opinion, they were just a group of rabble, vulnerable to a single attack.
"Understood." Zhao Chengkun nodded. The city lord is really far-sighted and thoughtful.
Of course, what impressed him even more was this domineering and revealing attitude. In his eyes, the new leader of the Qingzhu Gang, the top genius of Beibo City, who has been rumored to have become famous recently and is a top-notch master with a record of fighting at the same level.
They are just objects of random slaughter.
I just don’t know if that extremely famous guy will take the initiative to visit here and ask for a result, as the Lord of the City predicted. Or will he do something stupid like a reckless man?
Just as he was thinking this, the report from his subordinates outside the door interrupted all his conjectures.
"Lord City Lord, there is a man named Li Xiang outside the door asking to see you. He claims to be the leader of the Qingzhu Gang."
Although Li Heihu's reputation is quite big now, in fact, most of the people who know about his reputation are high-level officials of major forces, such as low-level personnel, civilians, gray forces and some officers and soldiers who have nothing to do with them. I really don't know who Li Xiang is.
