Chapter 61: The Intention of Slaying the Dragon (Please read, vote for the monthly ticket, and recommend.)
evening.

The setting sun in the sky cast a dim golden light, and the sky and the earth were dyed dark yellow, revealing a hint of loneliness.

Guangping Prefecture, Zhang River.

The river water is fast-flowing and turbid with mud and sand, like a giant yellow dragon winding through the plains, exuding a primitive and wild charm.

On both sides of the river, ancient willow trees swayed and fish played in the reeds. There were many villages scattered around the river. The houses in the villages were low and dilapidated, with green tiles on the roofs and green moss growing on them. The pitted earth walls were dark brown and exuded a foul smell.

A two-decker merchant ship was docked on the river bank outside the north wall of Guangping Prefecture. On the highest mast, a flag with the words "Limin Commercial Bank" embroidered on it fluttered in the wind.

An old man and a young man were standing at the bow. On the deck behind them, a hundred shirtless men were standing on the Hunyuan Post with resolute faces. Their naked upper bodies showed muscles like marble sculptures, with clear textures and as hard as stones.

Zhang Shan leaned on the bow rail and looked at the village on the river bank. His tone was very solemn. "Master Wang, the North China Plain is a place with many rivers and is one of the transportation hubs in the world. It is also the main sphere of influence of the Green Gang. The four Qi brothers have a high status in the Green Gang. I'm afraid the next trip will be quite troublesome."

Wang Yi put his hands behind his back, staring at the turbulent river, and smiled softly, "Death is like the extinguishing of a light. No matter how high the status of the four Qi brothers is, they are dead. The destruction of an entire branch is enough to make the Qing Gang face reality."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhang Shan who was standing beside him and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you think other forces have any idea about Guangping Prefecture now? With the interests of the people moving, does the Qing Gang have the energy to cause trouble for us?"

Zhang Shan was hesitant, unsure of the Green Gang's attitude: "If any of the four Qi brothers were still alive, the Green Gang might really take action out of face and affection. But now... it's hard to say. Just like what you said, Master Wang, when a person dies, it's like a light goes out."

Wang Yi's tone was very firm: "I don't think the Qing Gang would, nor would they dare."

Curiosity emerged on Zhang Shan's old face: "Why are you so sure, Young Master Wang?" The tone was too certain, he was really curious.

Wang Yi raised his hand and tapped the bow rail, smiling faintly, "Interests move people's hearts. Not only the surrounding forces, but also the various factions within the Qing Gang are eyeing the interests of Guangping. Under the pressure from both inside and outside, the slightest mistake will lead to a complete failure. If you were the leader of the Qing Gang, what would you choose?"

Everyone in the world is profit-oriented, especially these gangs. Many times they can infer the direction of the situation based on interests alone.

The Guangping branch of the Qing Gang controls the North China Plain, the world's water transport hub. How staggering is the profit it earns every year?

With such a huge benefit, how could other forces not be tempted?
In the past, due to the strength of the four Qi brothers and the Guangping branch, the surrounding forces were afraid and did not dare to act rashly.

But now, the elite forces of the entire branch have all been killed in the Xishan Post Station, and he has also spread the news throughout the world through the National Martial Arts Weekly.

If the Qing Gang wants to keep the Guangping branch, they will not easily provoke me again.

The praise of being the best person under the Hua Jin level was earned through real fighting. In addition to the power displayed at the Xishan Post Station and the prosperous Limin Commercial Company, anyone in the Qing Gang who is not stupid will think carefully about it.

Of course, nothing is absolute, and the higher-ups in the Green Gang might suddenly get crazy and want to take back the place, so we have to be prepared to prevent it.

Zhang Shan frowned, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "Based on my understanding of the Green Gang leader Liang Yuan, he should not dare to take this risk. Moreover, as the leader of a gang, even if he makes a mistake, the gang's white paper fan will analyze the situation for him."

Wang Yi smiled and said, "Under such circumstances, there is no need to worry too much about the threat from the Qing Gang. If you are really worried, then you can rest in Guangping Prefecture for some time. This is a good opportunity to open up the business channels in Guangping." It is very important to build a safe distribution channel for the National Martial Arts Weekly.

Whether it is the channels of newspaper vendors and book vendors or the channels of government offices, there are considerable hidden dangers. Only the channels that are under your control are the safest and most reliable.

Moreover, while building channels, you can also lay out some chess pieces for future use. Since you are planning to travel around the world anyway, these are things that can be done easily and will not take up too much energy.

Zhang Shan was full of admiration and shook his head, saying, "Master Wang has a broad mind and can analyze the situation so thoroughly without an old man like me saying much. This is really admirable."

It is really hard to imagine that a boy of only seventeen years old can have such a penetrating vision...

In his opinion, even the master who had been engaged in intrigue and deception for most of his life could not compare with the young man in front of him in this regard.

Wang Yi laughed and shook his head. He was almost tired of hearing such compliments. He turned around and looked at the guards standing on the deck. He sighed and said, "Blood and fire are the most tempering and cruel."

Zhang Shan turned around after hearing this and looked at the many new guards accompanying him. He said in a gentle voice, "Not only did Master Wang solve their worries, he also taught them everything he learned without reservation. His monthly salary is as high as ten gold coins. This kind of generous treatment is unique in the world."

He said with emotion: "The world is in chaos. Whether it's warriors or ordinary people, they all want a job to make a living. The salary offered by Limin Trading Company is enough to make many people willing to work for it. Prince Wang doesn't need to blame himself for the death of the guards of the trading company."

"We have seen life and death along the way. Compared to those displaced refugees, they are much luckier..."

Wang Yi fell silent after hearing this.

I have seen too many tragic scenes along the way.

Mountain bandits, pirates, local thugs, underworld gangs, local tyrants, local government offices, foreigners... many forces are intertwined together, causing chaos in the world.

Although the decline of the Qing Dynasty began when the Eight-Nation Alliance burned down the Old Summer Palace, due to its own influence, it is hard to say when the world will collapse under such circumstances.

What's more, after he places the chess pieces one by one, he will head north to the capital to see off the declining Qing court for the last time.

The amount of origin points that could be gained by slashing a country's dragon vein was exciting just thinking about it...

But before that, it is particularly important to accumulate strength. Only in this way can we have the strength to fulfill our ideas and stabilize the situation on the land under our feet.

Wang Yi suppressed his thoughts and chuckled, "You gain what you give. This is a life-threatening job. I can feel more at ease if I pay a little more."

Zhang Shan praised with a look of approval: "Your benevolence gathers people's hearts, your ruthlessness subdues enemies, you are resolute and courageous, wise and strategic, and you know how to appoint people to the right positions. This is the appearance of a hero. There should be a place for you, Prince Wang, in this world."

"Hero..." Wang Yi murmured in a low voice. It is not so easy to be a hero, but if he wants to complete his plan, even if he does not become a hero, he needs to be ruthless and start the chaos in the land ahead of time.
