Chapter 220 Meeting and Persuasion
Facing the gazes of Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng, Xu Fengwu smiled helplessly: "I should trust my second uncle more than you two, right?"
Yes, Xu Xiong was called by Xu Fengwu.
Xu Xiong could clearly hear the previous conversation between Xu Fengwu, Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng from outside.
"Feng Wu, you have posed a problem for me." Xu Xiong's fierce face showed a look of helplessness.
He had also heard the names of Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng from his brother, and his brother Xu Kuang admired them very much.
Unexpectedly, the two of them turned out to be members of the King of Chu, and Xu Fengwu and the King of Chu actually had a cooperative relationship.
"We are indeed from His Highness the King of Chu. What do you want?"
Cheng Yaojin knew that he had been exposed, and the initial nervousness was gone, and he sat back down in his seat.
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's unconcerned expression, Guan Sheng let go of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and sat back.
If Xu Xiong wants to kill them, they have no power to resist anyway, so what do they have to fear?
Xu Xiong saw a look of surprise in his eyes when he saw the two of them fearless.
"Your frankness makes me very satisfied. I'll give you a chance. If you sincerely join our Black Dragon Gang now, how about I spare your life?"
Although Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng were from the King of Chu, it was true that they helped the Black Jiao Gang on the Yizhou battlefield, and they had not harmed the interests of the Black Jiao Gang. Therefore, Xu Xiong had little intention to kill them.
"What if we don't vote?" Guan Sheng said coldly and proudly.
Xu Fengwu spoke first and said: "If you don't vote, we can only imprison the two of you first. I will tell my father everything and wait for him to make a decision. If my father firmly sides with the Huanzhou Alliance, I will Let you go."
oh?
Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng showed a hint of surprise.
Xu Fengwu hugged Xu Xiong and said, "Second uncle, I asked them to help me from the King of Chu. They did not harm the interests of our Black Dragon Gang. On the contrary, I would like to thank them for their help. If my father I stand firmly on the side of the Huanzhou Alliance, I cannot harm their lives, so I ask my second uncle to help me save them when the time comes."
Xu Xiong saw that Xu Fengwu was not pretentious and chose to let Cheng Yaojin go. Instead of being angry, Xu Xiong was very satisfied and said:
"Feng Wu, this is why I admire you very much among your brothers and sisters. What did my eldest brother and I rely on to establish such a large black dragon gang? It is integrity. We must avenge any enemy and repay any kindness. .
Look at these brothers and sisters of yours. For the sake of profit, they say nothing. How can the Black Dragon Gang prosper in the future if it is left in their hands?
If only you were a boy, I wouldn't have to worry about it long ago. "
"Thank you, uncle." A smile appeared on Xu Fengwu's heroic and beautiful face. I don't know whether it was because Xu Xiong praised herself or because of Xu Xiong's support.
"Thank you, Miss Xu." Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng were indeed surprised by Xu Fengwu. They felt a little bit indebted now. They had just plotted against others, the Black Jiao Gang, and the eldest lady of the Black Jiao Gang was about to let them go in the blink of an eye.
Xu Fengwu smiled at the two and waved her hands, looking at Xu Xiong again, a light flashed in her eyes:
"Second uncle, do you think we should choose to cooperate with the King of Chu or the Huanzhou Alliance?"
Hearing Xu Fengwu's question, Xu Xiong was not stupid and smiled immediately:
"It turns out that the main reason why you asked me to come is because you want me to help you persuade your elder brother."
However, Xu Xiong's eyes became extremely sharp in an instant, and his voice was calm but also cold, like the chilling autumn wind.
"Is the King of Chu really worthy of your trust and asking us to betray the Huanzhou Alliance?
I told you that at the beginning of our Black Dragon Gang's rise, we relied on integrity! "
"Second uncle, the King of Chu is not dead. He must have some conspiracy waiting for us. As General Cheng said just now, even if we tell the King of Chu's conspiracy now, what will happen? At most, we can have a serious fight. There is no guarantee of winning at all." Xu Fengwu said with a serious face:
"Just look at the two generals Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng. We don't know how many trump cards King Chu has under his command. We don't even know who is his in the Huanzhou Alliance.
Choosing the Huanzhou Alliance may not necessarily lead to victory. There is King Chu in front of us and King Ming in the back. How long will we fight?
Choosing the King of Chu, with our Black Dragon Gang joining us, we have a greater chance of winning. The King of Chu who unifies the two states has the qualifications to dominate the world. In the future, we will be the master of the dragon! "
At this time, another strong voice came!
"Really, but Feng Wu, have you ever thought about whether King Chu still needs us after he takes Huanzhou? Or does he still need our Black Dragon Gang?"
The barrier inside the tent fluctuated, and Xu Kuang strode in.
"Father!" Xu Fengwu screamed.
"Brother." Xu Xiong called calmly. He had just sensed Xu Kuang's arrival.
"Feng Wu, you gave me such a big surprise!"
Xu Kuang stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng who were once again shocked by his arrival, his eyes full of regret.
"I didn't expect that the two famous generals of our Black Dragon Gang are actually from the King of Chu!"
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, leader."
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said he was not ashamed but proud.
"Just now I was discussing with Zhou Chi and the others how to deal with Lingzhou, but now it seems that we have become a joke." Xu Kuang thought of many things in a flash, his eyes were a little cold.
"Father, even if we expand the Black Flood Dragon Gang, what will be our way out? The gang will always be just a gang. It has taken refuge in the King of Chu. The Black Flood Dragon Gang has been disbanded and integrated into the power of the Prince of Chu's palace. When the King of Chu rules the world in the future and relies on the imperial court, we will Why can't we build a top-notch family?"
"Disband the Black Flood Dragon Gang? That sounds nice to you. Do you know how much effort your second uncle and I put into establishing such a huge Black Flood Dragon Gang?"
"So what, we are still looked down upon by others. Look at the situation of our Huanzhou Alliance. We, the hundreds of thousands of members of the Black Jiao Gang, are obviously stronger than the Song family, but why are we not the deputy leaders? The Zhou family doesn't even say anything to help us. To put it bluntly, it's because in the hearts of the world, aristocratic families are always nobler than gangs!" Xu Fengwu retorted.
"If time permits, we can spend decades or even hundreds of years transforming from the Black Jiao Gang to a noble family, but in these troubled times, do we have that time? Even if our Huanzhou Alliance wins, we will still be a four-party tripartite, and sometimes We must prevent the other party’s calculations!”
"Huh, that's better than living under someone else's roof!" Xu Kuang said dissatisfied.
"Oh, I'm afraid we won't even have a life under the fence in the future!" Xu Fengwu argued with Xu Kuangwu, arguing not only for themselves, but also for the future of the Black Jiao Gang.
Because I really can’t see any future for the Huanzhou Alliance.
Even if they win in the future, the Yu Dynasty will be gone, each will be their own king, and the states and prefectures will be equally divided.
Then there is no need to start a war and wait for the unification of the new dynasty.
She didn't think that the Black Dragon Gang could win in the end.
Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng looked at each other and listened to their argument quietly.
"Ahem, let me interrupt." At this time, Xu Xiong interrupted the exchange between the two of them.
"Feng Wu, if you want us to switch to King Chu, you should at least tell him about King Chu's plan. It's a bit too much for us to blindly vote without even knowing what King Chu's plan is."
Sure enough, Xu Xiong's words instantly silenced the big tent.
Xu Fengwu was silent for a while and then said, "I don't know what King Chu is going to do next?"
"You don't know what King Chu is going to do next, so you want us to surrender to him?"
There was a hint of surprise in Xu Kuang's eyes as he looked at his always resourceful daughter. Could it be that she lost her mind when she met Queen Chu.
Is the King of Chu so charming?
Xu Xiong looked at Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng.
Soon three eyes were fixed on Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng.
"You don't have to look at us. We really don't know what His Highness's plans are." Cheng Yaojin spread his hands and said honestly.
"General Cheng, now is the critical moment, there is no need to hide it." Xu Fengwu frowned and said, now the second uncle and the others have obviously relaxed.
Guan Sheng shook his head and said: "We really don't know. Master Li Si asked us to act according to the situation. Maybe we only knew the moment before the battle in Lingfeng City."
"Although I have never met him, seeing you trust the King of Chu so much does make me a little moved. Brother, why don't you think about it." Xu Xiong turned to Xu Kuang and said that the generals under the command of the King of Chu in Lingzhou were powerful, and Cheng Yaojin They can see He Guan Sheng's strength, which can make these two people loyal to them. Presumably some of the rumors about King Chu's benevolence in Lingzhou are also true. King Chu should have some abilities.
Xu Kuang's eyes narrowed slightly, his light flashed, and he was silent.
Everyone watched Xu Kuang thinking in silence.
After Xu Kuang pondered for a while, he looked at Cheng Yaojin and said slowly:
"King Chu sent you two to the Black Dragon Gang. If you can feel King Chu's sincerity towards Feng Wu, then I will give King Chu a chance. In three days it will be time for us to attack Lingfeng City. Yang Zaitian is a trap. Within these three days, you contact the King of Chu and ask him to come to see me. Since you dare to surrender our Black Jiao Gang, if you don’t even have the courage to meet, you don’t have to persuade me. I will stop the Huanzhou Alliance’s attack just before the battle. action.
And if you two also leave the Black Dragon Gang, then we will owe nothing to each other. "
"Haha, Gang Leader Xu is really kind and righteous. I am not wrong about you!"
At this time, a refreshing laughter came.
Everyone looked shocked!
A breeze blew by, and a young man in black attire appeared in the tent at some point, with a faint smile on his handsome face.
"King Chu!"
Xu Xiong's eyes narrowed. He didn't realize how King Chu came in at all.
Xu Fengwu looked stunned.
"Your Highness!"
When Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng saw Li Yuan arriving, their eyes were filled with joy, but they instantly turned into anxiety.
King Chu should not be here!
How could the leader of a powerful force be put in a dangerous situation so easily?
The two of them quickly came to Li Yuan's side in three steps and two steps, guarding him from left to right.
"King Chu, your courage is admirable. You were originally here to save Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng."
Xu Kuang couldn't help but marvel when he saw Li Yuan appearing openly in his military camp.
King Chu had obviously arrived at Lingfeng City a long time ago. Why he came to such a dangerous place like Lingfeng City was obvious.
"Thank you very much, Gang Leader Xu, for your compliments. My two favorite generals can help me enter the Huanzhou Alliance, which is surrounded by enemies. What can I do if I go to the Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Den for them alone?"
Li Yuan smiled and nodded at Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng who rushed over to support him.
"Your Highness!"
When Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng heard this, their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"In addition, I believe that Gang Leader Xu is a good person and will not do anything to General Cheng and General Guan."
"Haha, okay, please sit down!"
Xu Kuang waved his hand, and Li Yuan deserved his respect just because of his courage.
Xu Kuang and Li Yuan sat opposite each other.
Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng were still standing behind Li Yuan.
Xu Fengwu and Xu Xiong stood behind Xu Kuang, and Xu Xiong stared at Li Yuan with interest.
I have long heard that the four kings of the Dayu Dynasty are all extraordinary. When King Ming and the Fengzhou Alliance and the Huanzhou Alliance started war at the same time, Xu Xiong met him from a distance. King Ming's domineering aura was amazing, and he made people awe and fear him at a glance. .
As for this King of Chu, he has a gentle temperament, like a spring breeze, which makes it easy for people to like him, but if you look carefully, there is a hint of majesty in his gestures, which makes people feel awe.
"I wonder why our Black Dragon Gang is so honored to receive special care from King Chu?"
Xu Kuang's face was solemn. From Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng to his fourth son Xu Bao's contact with Yang Zaitian, how could he not know the purpose of King Chu? If he did not cooperate, the first person to attack by the King of Chu would be the black dragon. Help, when the time comes, the inevitable end will be betrayal and separation.
Li Yuan smiled slightly and didn't feel embarrassed.
"Miss Xu came to Lingzhou to cooperate with Gu Tan before, and Gu helped her, and now it's time for her to repay her favor.
If you are an opponent, this should be the case. It's not like Gang Leader Xu doesn't even know this. "
Xu Fengwu was not angry when faced with Li Yuan's words. She smiled slightly and looked directly at Li Yuan, with a bright light of wisdom flashing in her eyes.
"In this case, you and I are both rivals. It's not an exaggeration for me to tie him up for you and give him to the Huanzhou Alliance!" Xu Kuang smiled, with a strong temperament and a bit of edge.
Li Yuan still maintained a faint smile and said disapprovingly:
"It is indeed not an exaggeration, but can the gang leader withstand the revenge of Prince Chu's palace? And does gang leader Xu believe in the Huanzhou Alliance so much?"
"King Chu, you want us to surrender to you, what can you give us?"
Xu Kuang stared at Li Yuan with scorching eyes, and went straight to the point without any further covering up.
"I have captured Huanzhou. You, the Black Dragon Gang, have to abide by the rules of our Chu Palace. It was yours before. I can give you one more land." Li Yuan's face remained unchanged, his eyes slightly twitching. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Kuangdao calmly.
"Give me one more house?"
"hehe!"
Xu Kuang had a trace of black hair hanging down from his forehead, and his eyes were like swords, even more sharp.
“King Chu, do you know that our Black Flood Dragon Gang has always been known for its integrity, and you want us to betray the ideals that the Black Flood Dragon Gang established?
Betray the entire Huanzhou Alliance? To be despised by the world? "
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and slowly implicated Cheng Yaojin and Guan Sheng with his breath.
"What do you want, Gang Leader Xu?"
Xu Kuang looked deeply at Li Yuan and slowly uttered a few words:
"Conditions must be added!"
