Chapter 129 Appearance ([-]) [-] more

After leaving the city, Qin Wubing and the others quickly caught up with the old monk and the eldest princess, guarded by two hundred personal soldiers. The main rudder of the Cao Gang on the riverside.

The main rudder of the Cao Gang is backed by green trees and green hills, facing the mountains and facing the water. From a distance, there are rows of houses on the hills, which are exquisite and unique. Looking at the watchtowers and arrows on the surrounding stone walls, they seem to be chaotic, but in fact they are fortified. Wubing is curious whether there is a strange art of dunjia in it?

Qin Wubing looked up at the heavily guarded gate, and remembered what Prince Xiang had said to him before he left: "The Cao Gang has a lot of people, if they don't use the right methods, they won't last until today, so don't take it lightly!"

He turned his head to look at Huang Zongxing beside him and snorted and asked:
"However, if you are in charge of water transportation, is it necessary to act like who will attack you? Besides, if you really want to attack...why do you need to attack? Surround yourself for three months, or set fire to the mountain, what else can you do? Cai Youkun doesn't care Regardless of you, with this situation, you deserve it if the imperial court sends troops to destroy you."

Huang Zongxing quickly explained: "It's just for the sake of arrogance, and I don't have any weapons. It's just to help the disciples to make inspections."

At this moment, the gate opened slowly, and two teams of more than ten people ran out from inside, standing on both sides, Huang Zongxing took the lead and led the crowd in.

As for whether the two hundred soldiers could enter or not, Huang Zongxing had already discussed with Qin Wubing on the road. After the two hundred soldiers entered the gate, they would no longer follow in. Someone would take them to rest, and the eldest princess' entourage would naturally can follow.

Of course, Qin Wubing had no objection, the ones who were really capable were the eldest princess's people, besides, they didn't really go to war, but just in case, just in case, to create momentum.

After entering the gate, Qin Wubing's restless heart was finally relieved. Although the interior was progressive, one courtyard after another, and the stone roads criss-crossed, there was a clear distinction between the primary and secondary, and it didn't look like there was any strange door.

Qin Wubing followed Huang Zongxing to observe the surroundings carefully, and the disciples in the gang also stopped to watch them.

……

But when we got to the courtyard of Xingwu Hall, all the attendants of the eldest princess could not enter the hall, so the eldest princess said to Huang Zongxing: "I won't go in, you find someone to take me to see the blueprint."

Huang Zongxing hurriedly greeted the crowd at the entrance of Xingwu Hall, and asked loudly, "Is Guantong here?"

An old man with a goatee quickly came out from behind: "What's the matter with the leader?"

"Take... this girl to Baojuan Pavilion, show her what she wants to see, and answer what she asks, do you understand?"

Guan Tong nodded again and again, and then made a gesture of invitation to the eldest princess.

Qin Wubing watched as the Eldest Princess, escorted by the crowd, disappeared along the wall through the corner gate, and then turned to look at Huang Zongxing.

Huang Zongxing nodded slightly, glanced at the old monk again and made a gesture of invitation. The people blocking the doorway consciously stood on both sides, and the three strode into the hall.

The Xingwu Hall is the place where important matters are discussed daily and the rules of the gang are enforced. It can be said to be the most important place in the gang. It must be grand, but it is only lofty.

Caobang is famous for its loyalty in the Jianghu. Entering the hall, one can see the word "Juyi" in cursive script on the middle of the wall at a glance. Apart from the small table between the armchairs, there are only four thick pillars supporting the beams, which can be said to be empty.

Qin Wubing was very satisfied with this simple decoration, at least he felt cool as soon as he entered the hall.

There are two chairs at the top. Who will sit on them?Qin Wubing looked at Huang Zongxing, Huang Zongxing immediately ordered another chair to be placed, Huang Zongxing and Qin Wubing sat next to each other, the old monk sat beside Qin Wubing, Holmes and Lin Huai Guoyi stood behind him.

Even if the remaining few officials sit at the lower head, they are still close to the upper head. There are only eight seats in the lower head of the hall, and they are occupied by five officials. Where should the others sit?

The people who followed into the hall were dumbfounded, they were shocked when they knew that the leader came back so soon!
Then they learned that the gang leader had brought outsiders, soldiers, and women, and they were shocked again!
Then the leader actually asked the woman to go to the Baojuan Pavilion to browse at will. This is three surprises!
Now that a yellow-haired boy and a monk actually sit on the head with the gang leader, this is four surprises, what will happen next?
Huang Zongxing pointed to the six people standing under the hall expressionlessly and introduced to Qin Wubing:

"They are the six rudder masters of the Cao Gang, who can also be regarded as the deputy gang masters. The other one is Guan Tong who just went to Baojuan Pavilion. The seven of them are in charge of opening, shipping, escorting, and warehouse delivery..."

Qin Wubing interrupted Huang Zongxing with a wave of his hand, and said gently:

"Guangzhu Huang can order someone to tell these adults the specific division of labor in the gang. For me, it's useless to listen to it. Why don't you arrange a room for me, and I'll have a chat with you heroes one by one."

Leader Huang naturally understood what Qin Wubing meant, he knew that there was a problem in the gang, and he knew that he was among the seven, but there was always a scene where his own child beat him up, so he couldn't help feeling unhappy and showing embarrassment.

At this time, Liang Shan, who had tried his best to prevent Huang Zongxing from going to Jinling to plead guilty, suddenly cupped his fists and said:

"Boss leader, since there are guests in the gang, you must let me know who the guests are? How should they be called? We are all reckless, if we don't know, it will be bad if we make a mistake and offend the guests."

These words sounded polite, but in fact they were full of dissatisfaction. Just as Huang Zongxing was about to explain, he was stopped by Qin Wubing.

"In my life, I hate people who know what they are asking. They are either pretending to be stupid, or they are really stupid. If they are really stupid, that's all. I don't care about it. It depends on my mood!" Qin Wubing said gently, but his eyes were full of sympathy. He kept staring at Liangshan sharply.

Liang Shan was very angry when he heard this, but how could he not know that these are the high officials of the imperial court? He asked just now in order to know what he knew. Take a look at it, but the young official doesn't seem to want to save him some face.

"You don't have to be angry, if you are really a reckless man, you will speak bluntly and quickly, how can you be so meandering like you! Guest? Have you ever seen a guest with soldiers? What did the Cao Gang do before? You? Or do you think that even if the Cao Gang pokes a hole in the sky, the court can only tolerate it? You are allowed to do anything wrong, but you can only stand by and watch?"

Liang Shan didn't know how to answer this question. He looked at Huang Zongxing and found that Huang Zongxing was sullen and didn't intend to speak. Liang Shan began to panic!
"My lord's words can't stand my Cao Gang!" A burly man took a step forward and cupped his hands carelessly towards Qin Wubing: "I'm going to help Hong Tian, ​​dare to ask..."

"Prosperity equals heaven?" Qin Wubing chuckled, "You said just now that the Cao Gang can't afford it? But the Cao Gang can! Isn't it a bit contradictory?"
