Chapter 162 The truth (2)
Li Ling's eyebrows and eyes suddenly thumped, thinking that this matter is so important, shouldn't you just mention it to someone close to you? Why did you talk to me, an outsider?
Yang Qinghou only glanced at him frivolously and continued, "After all, we are just a rude in the world. We are really far from being a scholar like Mr. Li in terms of meticulousness. So you can only hear the biggest hidden danger when you hear the sister-in-law mentioning a few words."
"Slow, wait, when did you say this?" Li Ling quickly interrupted, it was unfair. He had no intention of conspiring with these people, and it was even more impossible for him to guide them to deal with the government army.
"What, Brother Li, have you forgotten? Just when you were chatting with me before, you mentioned that if someone in my Cao Gang colluded with the government, our situation would be in danger." "Yang Qinghou" said with a smile, which immediately made Li Ling frown, but there was nothing to say.
He said that at that time, but he really didn't expect such variables to occur. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "In that case, does this really work?"
"Your Madam Li, of course, is not your role here, but you helped me a lot to help me escape from the merchant ship. Otherwise, I would be afraid of it and it would be difficult to deal with it." Yang Qinghou said and looked at the front again, "This time they are indeed calculating and unintentional. Even if I get reminders later, it is too late to react."
"Why is this the case?" Li Ling asked curiously, and pointed to the two ships that had been completely blocked and were struggling in the last struggle.
"It's thanks to you." Yang Qinghou said with a smile. Seeing Li Ling's confused look, he explained, "Young Master Li, you don't know anything. In fact, they were also deliberately doing this. They were sure that I didn't know that the official army had already intervened, so they wanted to use some people in the gang as bait to give me a move to stalk the cicada oriole behind!"
Li Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and understood what he meant: "You mean that the people in your Cao Gang have joined forces with the government army to deliberately let you know their conspiracy and then lead you to take action. And at the last moment, the government army will clean up the mess?"
Yang Qinghou nodded: "That's what it means! I really didn't know that they set such a trap for me before. I wanted my sister to disguise herself as I wanted to attract those people to appear one by one."
After pausing, he sighed again: "Actually, when my father was alive, someone in the gang had already had the idea of stealing the power of my Cao Gang. It was only when his prestige was high that they dared not act rashly. But last year, as soon as my father left, these people could no longer hold back. Over the past year, their conspiracies were almost known. But I was young after all, at least I couldn't take the initiative before they had any movement, so I was so passive.
"It is precisely because of this that they have caught the flaws. I was sure that I would definitely have a strong blow this time, so the government army intervened."
It was obviously when the dust settled, and Yang Qinghou gradually pieced together it. It seemed very plain to say that the danger was no less than a head-on battle.
Even Li Ling had to worry about this young man who was about the same age as him, and admired him for being able to turn the tables in desperate situations: "Since that's the case, how did this game tonight come over?" "It's thanks to your Brother Li."
"I...I did nothing."
"Because of that fire." Yang Qinghou finally stopped keeping his word and pointed to the merchant ship in front of him with thick smoke and fire. "Earlier, the official army ambushed on the shore had agreed with the traitors in my gang. They would immediately fight out with the ignition!"
Li Ling was stunned for a moment, and he finally understood: "It was Zhuang Qiang's fire..."
Just before they left the ship, Zhuang Qiang suddenly brought people to kill him, and before they took action, in order to cut off his retreat, he set a fire at the stern of the merchant ship... Who would have thought that this fire would completely disrupt the game that some people had worked hard to set up... It's really the plan for others, and the success of things is in heaven!
Yang Qinghou smiled and said, "I was about to take someone to kill him, but someone moved on the shore first. Moreover, the crowd looked even more uniform, even in the dark, and it was the most conspicuous. This made me realize that the situation had changed, so I could only make temporary arrangements and attack them with fire after putting them on the boat!"
When the ambush became Akiko, their influence on the battle situation was immediately quarreled. After all, it was the territory of the Cao Gang, and their home court. Yang Qinghou made a decision and achieved the final victory was naturally reasonable!
Li Ling did not ask too many details, but after pondering for a while, he sighed: "It seems that God is standing by your side this time, Gang Master Yang."
"Haha, I can't say whether God is standing by my side, but Mr. Li, you have helped me a lot. Although I, Yang Qinghou, are not a good person, have clear grudges. I remember this kind of favor in my heart and will definitely repay you. So in order to prevent you from knowing the truth, I will explain it."
Actually, you really don’t have to explain so much to me. It’s good that I’m kept in the dark, so you don’t have to worry about it. Li Ling was not able to say it in his heart, so he could only smile bitterly. But then, he thought of something: “Gangmaster Yang told me so much should not only be to understand my confusion, right?”
"Haha, Mr. Li is indeed as clear as a mirror, and Mr. Yang admires it. Actually, what I want to say is that at this point, Mr. Li can no longer stay out of the matter, so have you ever thought about joining my Cao Gang?"
"Huh?" Li Ling was really confused this time. The other party actually thought about recruiting himself to join the Cao Gang. What kind of brain circuit is this? I am not a person in the martial arts world, but a candidate who takes the exam. I really met your Cao Gang by chance. Why did you catch your eyes?
Yang Qinghou looked at him seriously: "Mr. Li, don't think he is joking. I am all heartfelt. Perhaps most people think that my Cao Gang is a group of grassroots and a group of coolies. But the facts are not that simple. My gang is also a crouching tiger and a hidden dragon. Not to mention anything else, Mr. Mu is one of the few first-class masters in the world. He is a real hero. If my Cao Gang is so unbearable, would he be willing to stay here?"
Li Ling hurriedly expressed his opinion: "Gangmaster Yang is too humble. I never think that Cao Gang is a group of grass-roots people. Although I don't know a few people, like you, Miss Yang, and Mr. Mu, they are all heroes for a while, which makes me feel inferior."
"Haha, when it comes to martial arts, you naturally cannot compare to those of us, but in terms of mind and strategy, I believe that everyone is far from being your opponent of Mr. Li. If you can easily see our crisis, it is not my ability. So..." Speaking of this, his expression became extremely solemn, "Mr. Yang Qinghou, as the leader of the Cao Gang, wanted to invite Mr. Li to join my gang as a tribute, and lead us to achieve greater achievements!" After saying this, he bowed deeply.
Li Ling was really stunned and hurried forward to ask: "Gangmaster Yang is so frightened. I... I am just a scholar, I really can't afford to be so arrogant."
Yang Qinghou straightened his waist and said, "How is this called being high-minded? My Cao Gang now needs talents like you, so I invite you with integrity. Of course, Mr. Li, you have some concerns and I can understand that you are an innocent person with fame and fortune. You have a lofty ambitions and want to be a person above the temple one day, so you don't want to wander around the world with a turbulent world like us."
Li Ling looked embarrassed and wanted to deny it. He felt that it was too hypocritical. He was afraid that the other party would see it. Moreover, he really didn't want to join the Cao Gang and abandon the fame he had earned hard. But if he really wanted to admit it, it would be too offensive.
Yang Qinghou did not think it was offended and smiled: "Mr. Li, whether you believe it or not, I really regard you as a friend. If I say so, I am actually thinking about you. After this matter today, even if you have no connection with my Cao Gang, I am afraid that others will involve you and us in the future. And those people in the government have always despised us and others, which is not a good thing for you.
"In addition, our Cao Gang will definitely offend the official army this time. We are not afraid, but you are different. Therefore, for your safety, it is safest to join our Cao Gang."
Li Ling agreed with this statement. This time the matter was so big, I am afraid that the local government would have to investigate it in depth, and he really had nowhere to hide. Unless... Li Ling suddenly thought of something, but he was shocked. This approach was too cruel. I am afraid no one really dared to do this.
Seeing that he was moved, Yang Qinghou said again: "Young Master Li, you feel a little embarrassed because you are just a scholar. But in fact, there are many relevant talents in my Cao Gang. I can invite them to make friends with you at that time. What ambition do you have? In fact, you can also perform within my Cao Gang..." At this point, he suddenly paused, but saw a brother running over in a hurry. It was obvious that the war ahead had changed again.
Yang Qinghou's expression changed, and he complained to Li Ling and quickly went over: "What happened?" Li Ling can take his time to recruit Li Ling, but this battle must be won!
"Gang Master, Chu Dunzhu and Huang Dunzhu took their brothers onto the ship, but were killed by those who killed thousands of swords!" The man said with red eyes and almost breathing fire.
"How could this be?" After hearing this, Yang Qinghou, who had been acting calm, changed color and gritted his teeth and asked.
"They...they pretended to be willing to surrender and then let the two lords board the ship to negotiate. We were not careful of fraud, but as soon as they got on the ship, they started!"
