Chapter 487(1/2)
Yu Tianbao and Fang Xinglu are not old, so they are naturally not good at being the leader of the major sect.
Yu Tianbao is in his thirties and looks mean, neither handsome nor ugly. His only disadvantage is that he has a big mouth and always smiles, and his smile is a bit fake.
There was an old man standing behind Tianbao. The clear birthmark on his face made Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang recognize it - it was the second in command of Tianbaotang who was suspected of having robbed Shijin to send to Ehu Island, Yu Su.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang slightly, and sure enough, he found that Bai Yutang's complexion was a little ugly than before.
As a legendary facial paralysis, Bai Yutang's facial expressions have not changed much. It is difficult for ordinary people to see the changes if they are not as familiar as Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao knew in his heart that Bai Yutang and Tian Baotang had not settled the bill. They went to find Shi Jin before, but Shi Jin's thatched hut exploded. Whether the other party wanted to kill Shi Jin or the two men in black caught by them, in short, they almost exploded Tianzun. If the account was not settled, it would not be Bai Yutang.
Zhan Zhao thought it was a good idea. The fifth master was originally nodded with Yu Tianbao, but now it is not that simple.
Fang Xinglu next to Yu Tianbao looks younger, and Zhan Zhao calculated that he should be more mature. His appearance is particularly young, which may be due to his high internal strength.
Fang Xinglu's martial arts were unexpectedly good, and at least he could throw away a lot of Guan Tianbao. This person rarely showed up in mysterious and mysterious situations, and it was the first time Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang met him.
Using a ship to stop Zhao Pu's navy seems very reckless, so Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang have always thought that Fang Xinglu was an activist. But from the appearance and momentum alone, this person is gloomy and deep, not like an impulsive person. After all, the Four Rivers Gang is an alliance-based gang. There are many deputy gang leaders under Fang Xinglu who have ships and horses. Maybe it is not Fang Xinglu himself who came up with this stupid idea.
Fang Xinglu also looks gloomy, with a little stubble and a slouch. When looking at people, his eyes are dead. Obviously, Fang Xinglu is not in a good mood. The two words Long Qiaoguang shouted downstairs just now were that people in the martial arts world couldn't bear to worry about their face. But then again, if they don't do anything, they won't die. Who told them to block the door?
Compared to Yu Tianbao and Fang Xinglu, the appearance of Zhu Tianren made Zhan Zhao feel inexplicable. Jinyin Pavilion has always only made money and not participated in the affairs of the world. What was this kid's idea?
Everyone sat down.
Gongsun sat in the middle of the four people, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao on the left, and Long Qiaoguang and Ye Zhiqiu on the right. Anyway, he is not a man from the martial arts world and is not interested in martial arts world. He came to make sure that these people were not plotted against.
Gongsun reached out to hold the teapot, poured tea for the few people around him, and glanced at the tea.
It seemed that he had just had a meal and chatted with Zhan Zhao, "No wonder I heard that you often come to Taibaiju for dinner. The dishes here are good, and I have to come here often in the future."
Zhan Zhaoxin said this to the shopkeeper Taibaiju. He should be happy to hear this. He told me what the use is, and Master Mao would not invite you to dinner.
Ye Zhiqiu and Long Qiaoguang subconsciously looked at Bai Yutang - well, I can't see any changes in expression for the time being, but Bai Yutang should be unhappy for a while.
The atmosphere was not good. After all, Yu Su was an elder. He held the wine glass and said, "Everyone, I have had many misunderstandings before. My master and the leader of the gang hope to clarify the misunderstandings and turn swords into jade."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang did not respond, the case has not been investigated yet, who has turned war into jade and silk? If the case of the Ehu Island slaughtering island really has something to do with you, be prepared to be guillotine!
Long Qiaoguang smiled and looked at Yu Su and asked, "What do you call this?"
Yu Su smiled and said, "Old Yu Su."
"Oh... are you from Tianbaotang?" Long Qiaoguang asked.
The old man nodded, "That's right."
"I wonder if you know an old man named Shi Jin?" Long Qiaoguang asked quite directly.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang subconsciously stared at Yu Su's expression... Sure enough, Long Qiaoguang's sudden words made the old man feel a little nervous.
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly - Sure enough!
“Speaking of it…”
Before Su could speak, Yu Tianbao suddenly responded with a chat, "When my uncle was young, he once followed King Boyang to serve in the army. Although he did not defend his country like General Long, he was also loyal."
Everyone frowned - it turned out that the relationship between Tianbaotang and Ehu Island was here.
"Did King Boyang fight a war back then?" Long Qiaoguang asked calmly, and he was cursing in his heart as Ouyang. They led their troops to the battlefield and died. King Boyang asked others to die, that's all the same!
"The prince fought on the sea for the late emperor and experienced many dangers." Yu Su shook his head helplessly, "Several large ships sank, but fortunately, the ships were not soldiers but prisoners who were sent to the uninhabited island to open up the land. They were considered dead."
Yu Tianbao nodded, "This is better than being a prisoner or sent to a deserted island for a lifetime, it is better to be buried in the sea than to be buried in the sea. What do you think?"
Zhan Zhao thought this was harsh. Not to mention which one is better, the prisoner or the deceased devil. Shi Jin is not a death row prisoner at all, right? He is just a thief who stole something, and he is only a teenager, not to mention that there are many homeless people who have not done anything bad. These people took over the words "I die as I am."
Bai Yutang had long felt that Zhan Zhao was about to get angry. In addition, he was in a bad mood today, but before the other party finished speaking, he had to endure it first.
So Zhan Zhao felt Bai Yutang gently pat the back of his hand that was placed on his legs.
Gongsun was right beside him, and he thought Zhan Zhao might turn against him. Unexpectedly, Bai Yutang let out a few strokes of hair and actually suppressed his anger...
Fang Xinglu listened to the words of Yu Tianbao, laughed coldly, and said in a slight sarcastic tone, "The Last Emperor's Holy Spirit."
Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen, who were far away in the Water Village and the Imperial Palace, sneezing at the same time, feeling their ears getting hot.
Everyone here knew that what Yu Tianbao and the others meant was that the matter on Ehu Island was indeed related to them, but if we really pursued that year, the culprits were the King of Boyang and the late emperor. The so-called turning swords into jade is to let Kaifeng Prefecture not investigate the matter anymore and stop it. Anyway, there are only a group of death row prisoners...
"By the way... Brother Ye." Yu Tianbao bowed to Ye Zhiqiu, "A misunderstanding before... But Brother Ye is very skilled in martial arts, even if he wants to kill, he will kill hundreds of masters. Naturally, he will not kill hundreds of villagers."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - Yu Tianbao meant that although the village was slaughtered by Ehu Island, Ye Zhiqiu also killed nearly a hundred killers who participated in the village slaughter and rescued Luo Ying and Luo Yuan, which was almost the same.
As a doctor, Gongsun felt the extreme of these people in the martial arts world after hearing what Yu Tianbao said. It turns out that human lives can be calculated by metering. If I kill a hundred innocent people, you kill a hundred murderers, it will be even... It's ridiculous!
Ye Zhiqiu raised his eyes, looked at Yu Tianbao who was still smiling, and suddenly smiled.
When Yu Tianbao saw Ye Zhiqiu laughing happily, he laughed too.
The two of them smiled for a while, and Ye Zhiqiu suddenly clapped his hands, really happy, pointing to Yu Tianbao's face, "You are cramping... your face is cramping."
As Ye Zhiqiu said, Yu Tianbao's face became a little stiff.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang tried their best to hold back their laughter. Indeed, Jae Tianbao's smile was not heartless, and it was so fake that he didn't smile. After laughing for a long time, he was really like cramps.
Look at Ye Zhiqiu in Tianbao.
Ye Zhiqiu had long lost his smile at this time and looked at him. Don’t look at him as short and powerful, he is a master of his master after all.
I heard Zhan Zhao add slowly, "Is it not even a hundred people killed or a hundred people running away? It's not bad."
Yu Tianren was drinking tea with a cup on the side without paying attention to his own affairs, and his expression was obviously just watching the show.
Yu Tianbao looked at Zhan Zhao again and said, "When will the revenge be repaid... It is because I owe someone my life, so I need to repay my life. This day when I will never be punished...
"Why didn't there?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang almost spoke in unison.
As the two looked at each other, Ye Zhiqiu said something from his teeth, "It's over to cut off the two who were first owed and the last owed debt."
Yu Tianbao narrowed his eyes slightly, and Fang Xingru, who was sitting beside him, said, "Nothing is absolute. As long as no one mentions some things, they will be forgotten soon. People will always die."
As a non-gangster, Gongsun already felt a strong smell of gunpowder. The two sides had completely different views, so he could only speak without any speculation.
"Of course..." Yu Tianbao suddenly changed his mind, "Only by paying a big price to get what he wants."
Long Qiaoguang frowned slightly. He had talked with Zhao Pu and the others before, including the emperor, and the emperor also suspected that the late emperor was not a fool. He had other purposes. Ehu Island, especially the rift valley suspected to be damaged by Xingtian, may have some secrets. Ye Zhiqiu is a road tycoon, and he does not know the road at all. Luo Ying said before that he was not sure how to find the way back. But Yu Tianbao and the others should know how to get to Ehu Island and the unknown secrets on Ehu Island...
"King Boyang will enter the palace tomorrow." Yu Tianbao suddenly said, "I haven't entered the palace for a long time and I am very concerned about the emperor... and I suddenly dreamed of the late emperor at night. The late emperor had something to give to the prince to tell the emperor no matter what."
"But..." Speaking of this, Yu Tianbao suddenly looked at him again, "The prince is old and pays attention to everything. He doesn't like to make trouble, so let me ask if Kaifeng has been peaceful recently. If it is not peaceful, he will not enter the palace. In addition, he is in poor health recently and feels that if he doesn't enter the palace to meet the emperor this time, he may have no chance in the future... he is in trouble."
Yu Tianbao said clearly enough, Zhan Zhao and others were not stupid either. His meaning was very simple--King Boyang held the secret of Ehu Island in his hand, and he could tell Zhao Zhen, but the premise was that Kaifeng Prefecture must promise not to investigate the matter of Ehu Island, otherwise he would take the secret into the coffin.
After Yu Tianbao said that, Fang Xinglu continued, "As for blocking the dock... it's just a misunderstanding, I accept the punishment. Although my Sihe Gang is a businessman, I still have the ability to protect myself. I don't have to send people to protect you day and night.
Gongsun held the cup and looked around. Fang Xinglu and Yu Tianbao were not here to apologize but to show off. The chips were set up, and only they knew the secret of Ehu Island. The conditions were very simple. If they didn't pursue it, they would just settle the matter. But on the other hand, this proved that they were related to the case of Ehu Island slaughtering village, which was equivalent to not asking for help. The secret on Ehu Island seemed quite amazing, otherwise they wouldn't be so confident.
Everyone subconsciously went to see Zhan Zhao.
The decision-making power is actually in the hands of Zhan Zhao, and the other party is also insidious enough. He asked Zhan Zhao and others to show off instead of Lord Bao. And it seems that if he agrees, the negotiation will be broken if he agrees or not.
Ye Zhiqiu also saw Zhan Zhao. He witnessed the tragedy on Ehu Island. The reason why he brought Luo Ying and Luo Yuan to Kaifeng Prefecture was entirely because he believed that Lord Bao would never tolerate the murderer. Even if he involved the previous emperor, what if he was involved? I hope Zhan Zhao would not disappoint him.
Bai Yutang saw Long Qiaoguang.
Bai Yutang knew Zhan Zhao's personality too well, so he would never agree, but Long Qiaoguang was a military man, and Zhao Pu and Zhao Zhen's position should be similar. So the fifth master was very curious about how Long Qiaoguang would react.
But at this time, the right general held the teacup and looked like he was not in his own way and continued to drink tea.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed... the conversation was really broken.
But just when Bai Yutang felt that Zhan Zhao was about to refuse, he heard a "bang" beside him.
Everyone was stunned and turned around and saw Zhan Zhao's hand, which was originally going to slap the table, stopping in the air awkwardly - he was taken first!
So when I turned around, I saw that it was Gongsun who was slamming the table...
Mr. Gongsun's little scholarly anger came up now, and he was slamming the table, "Murdering someone will pay for his life, this matter is not over!"
Yu Tianbao and Fang Xinglu both frowned and looked at Gongsun... It was probably the first time that the two people from the martial arts world were slapped on the table by a scholar.
Liu Tianren, who had not spoken, suddenly asked curiously, "Mr. Gongsun is the rank of Kaifeng Prefecture, so can he speak on behalf of Kaifeng Prefecture?"
Before Gongsun could answer, he heard Zhan Zhao slowly say, "Of course it's OK."
Gongsun nodded when he saw Zhan Zhao - good!
Zhan Zhao wanted to laugh a little - he was worthy of being the nerd in Zhao Pu's words, and he became serious and stubborn.
Yu Tianbao looked at Long Qiaoguang again, "Then the general..."
Long Qiaoguang said seriously, "What, Mr. Gongsun does not mean that I don't know about Kaifeng Mansion, but it can definitely represent my prince."
Gongsun blinked.
Yu Tianbao and Fang Xinglu were also stunned.
Long Qiaoguang smiled and continued, "Before leaving, my prince explained that the gentleman would say whatever he said, no need to ask him, everything should be based on what the gentleman said."
Gongsun's phoenix eyes were almost as big as Xiao Sizi's big eyes, and he thought to himself - Zhao Pu really said so? Didn't Zhao Pu always deserve a beating when he speaks! He actually said such a pleasant thing?!
Zhan Zhao touched his chin - Is Gongsun and Zhao Pu very good relationship...
Bai Yutang waved to Xiao Liuzi standing at the stairs in the distance.
To be continued...
