Chapter 63: The Trouble at Shennong Gang
Chapter 63: The Trouble at Shennong Gang
"Ok?"
"What's wrong, third brother?"
"It seems that a shadow flashed over there just now, go and have a look."
The man stood up, walked over, and took a casual glance. It was too dark in the corner to see clearly, so he didn't move forward. He sat back at the wooden table in front of Warehouse B and filled a glass of wine for Chen San.
"Nothing! Don't worry, Deputy Gang Leader Chang has taken away more than 200 brothers, and Gang Leader Sikong is still here. What kind of thief dares to come to our Shennong Gang and act recklessly?"
Chen San smiled and said, "It seems that I am really dazzled. Come on, brother, continue drinking."
The man sighed, "As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison, not to mention that these warehouses are full of poisonous things. We are guarding them all day, with poisonous things, it would be strange if our eyes don't have problems. It would be great if we had Elder Meng's pair of Western eyeglasses."
Chen San shook his head slightly: "You still want Western eyepieces? Last time, Elder Meng proposed to purchase a batch of silk gas masks for the disciples in the gang, but Gang Leader Sikong refused on the grounds of tight funds."
The man was a rough man, and he said without restraint: "He married the ninth concubine, so his finances are not tight anymore?"
Chen San looked around and saw that no one was around, so he said softly, "Don't mention that. The superiors have to be proud. There are some things they can do but we can't say. Remember, remember!"
Han Zhi admired him and said, "Third brother is sensible. No wonder Elder Meng values him. If you can be accepted as a disciple by Elder Meng, you don't have to guard the warehouse anymore."
"Alas, if you don't have a heavy burden on your shoulders, who would be willing to exchange their life for tomorrow?"
The warehouse was seven or eight meters high, with a dark roof. Two lanterns were held up by long poles, shining an orange light on the snow. Two Shennong Gang disciples, who were neither the best nor the worst in the martial arts world, drank a plate of peanuts and were slightly tipsy.
The moonlight was not very bright, but Sikong Huan's mood was very bright.
He stood in front of the lobby, looking at the scimitar in the sky, a smile on his face.
"In the martial arts world, what matters is your brain."
This is his favorite phrase.
Just like in the bed curtain, he also believed that although his ability to fight with real swords and guns had deteriorated, he could still make the woman reach the state of bliss through means and strategies.
But what Huang Xiuyu said to Chang An that night was like a thorn in his heart.
So he decided to pull out the thorn.
“Chang’an, even if you didn’t die in Qingfeng Village, I have prepared several delicious dishes for you.”
In Sikong Huan's plan, Chang An must die. This way, he can give an explanation to Tong Sangongzi. In order to wipe out Qingfeng Village, Shennong Gang even sacrificed the life of its deputy leader.
If the enemy of Master Tong San gains power, he can also use the letter as an excuse and personally attack Qingfeng Village with the head of Chang An, which will be his token of allegiance and a golden ticket to immunity from death.
The plan was far from perfect.
But since Chang An has to be killed anyway, he might as well die with more value.
As the saying goes, one should read "Water Margin" when young and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when old.
The older you get, the more you tend to get caught up in intrigue and schemes.
There was a sound of wheels rolling outside the hall, as if something heavy was being carried. Two horses were pulling a flatbed cart with a large iron cage on it, and a giant man was imprisoned inside. Even though he was half-sitting, one could tell that he was extremely sturdy and strong.
Sikong Cong smiled and said, "Dad, the person has been brought here."
Sikong Huan looked up and saw that the giant was wearing a tattered leather coat that seemed to be made of several pieces of clothing, which was extremely uncoordinated.
He leaned against the iron railing, closed his eyes, snored like thunder, and actually fell asleep.
Sikong Huan laughed and said, "It looks like a stupid bear, it must be very strong."
"This giant injured seven or eight of our brothers. He was really stupid. Even when those who asked him for help surrendered, he still didn't stop. In the end, I took advantage of his exhaustion and released smoke to knock him unconscious."
Sikong Cong's words hinted at his desire for credit. He and his second brother Sikong Ming were known as the two heroes of the Shennong Gang, and they had been secretly competing for the position of successor for a long time. Sikong Huan asked, "Cong'er, are you going to deal with this stupid bear like this?"
Sikong Cong looked at the giant and said with a smile, "Since this man is as strong as an ox, how about letting him pull the plow to plow the fields? It can also save the gang a few cows."
Sikong Huan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Meng Yao is preparing several new medicines and needs test subjects. Bring the giant over tomorrow to see if he can use them. If he doesn't want them, send him to farm the fields."
"Elder Meng?"
Sikong Cong was a little confused, but still said, "Okay, Daddy."
Sikong Huan shook his head slightly. Meng Yao was not good at martial arts, but he had a deep knowledge of pharmacology, and his medical and poison skills were very advanced. He held an important position in the gang. His two sons were competing over unimportant things, but no one thought of winning over Elder Meng. Instead, Chang An went to show his courtesy from time to time.
"In this case, Chang An should be eliminated!"
Later in the night.
Jingu Lake has not yet frozen, and the waves are hitting the floating ice on the shore, making cracking sounds from time to time.
Apart from the guards at important locations and the night watchmen who patrolled every half hour, the entire Shennong Gang fell into silence.
The fire had gone out and the second half of the night was exceptionally cold.
Two disciples of the Divine Gang were sitting under the eaves, holding knives and dozing off.
A black shadow approached along the corner of the wall, and after two muffled groans, their heads lowered slightly. The black shadow brought them together, making a posture of snuggling for warmth.
He pushed the door open and entered. There was only a lantern in the room, and the light was very dim.
But a large iron cage can be seen, and the imprisoned giant has awakened.
He was trying to pry open each of the iron bars, which were as thick as a baby's arm, when he saw the man in black sneaking into the room and immediately became alert.
Zhang Yu whispered, "Brother Fan, I didn't expect that when we meet again, you'll be a prisoner."
"You... are you?"
When Fan Zhutian saw the man approaching, he had a dark face that looked somewhat familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he was.
Zhang Yu reminded: "In Pingyang City, the Lin family is holding a martial arts competition to recruit a bride."
Fan Zhutian suddenly realized: "You are Zhang Zhang... Brother Zhang, why are you in this state? Your face is even darker than mine, Fan's?"
"I'll save you first."
Fan Zhutian asked, "Brother Zhang, do you have the key?"
Zhang Yu looked at the copper lock, which weighed more than 30 kilograms. The lock was extremely hard, and if it was broken by force, it would easily attract the attention of the Shennong Gang.
He took out the 'Hanyuan' dagger, and gradually circulated his internal strength to cut off the end of an iron fence. Fan Zhutian grabbed the loose iron fence, bent it into the cage, and bent it upwards into a bow shape.
The two cooperated with each other, and then the second one came.
Fan Zhutian was surprised and said, "What a sharp dagger, it can cut iron like mud?"
The third root.
Fan Zhutian came out from the gap, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for saving my life."
"You're welcome. I came here to find trouble with the Shennong Gang, and I just happened to see them arrest you."
Upon hearing this, Fan Zhutian removed two iron fences and swung them twice with great force, making a sharp sound that broke through the air.
"That's great. I'll accompany Brother Zhang and give Shennong Gang some trouble."
