Eternal Sword

Chapter 43 Join forces
Meng Liangyu's shout was a little sudden.

The only remaining swordsman from the Blackwater Gang was confused.

Chen Tang vaguely guessed Meng Liangyu's thoughts, but the situation at the moment did not allow him to think too much, so he rushed towards the last Black Water Gang swordsman with a knife.

Previously, on the snowy mountain, I had wasted some of my divine time observing the mountain visitor’s actions.

He just used it again. He has not rested during this period.

If you use it forcefully again, you will suffer backlash.

Fortunately, there is only one ninth rank left, so it’s not a big problem.

when!when!when!
The two men swung their swords continuously, and the sound of swords rang out in the alley.

After this fight, Chen Tang discovered that the three sword techniques taught by Shan Zhongke were almost useless in a one-on-one situation.

Whether it is conquering the south or the north, or sweeping across the world, it is all a one-on-many, siege-like sword technique.

Only the way Butcher Ding butchers an ox can be considered as targeting a single enemy.

But Chen Tang has not yet grasped the essence of this move. During his fight with the Black Water Gang swordsman, he has never found the angle and timing to attack.

At this moment, Meng Liangyu seized the opportunity, and at the moment when the Black Water Gang swordsman and Chen Tang were fighting, he suddenly stepped forward and kicked the man in the ribs!
Click!

The sound of bones breaking was heard!
This man was already struggling to resist Chen Tang's attack, and had no time to react to Meng Liangyu's sudden kick. He was kicked to the ground and his ribs were broken!
Meng Liangyu was only injured in his left shoulder, but he was an eighth-grade warrior after all, so his kick was full of power.

The Blackwater Gang swordsman suffered a heavy blow, revealing a huge flaw.

Chen Tang took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, slashing the man's neck with a knife, killing him!

"Is it all right?"

Chen Tang looked at Meng Liangyu and asked in a low voice.

Meng Liangyu glanced to both sides, hinting Chen Tang not to reveal any flaws, and said, "Don't worry, boss, I'm fine, let's go!"

After leaving the alley, Meng Liangyu looked around and didn't see anyone, so he whispered, "Follow me."

Then he took a few quick steps, crossed the main street, and turned into another alley.

The two quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Meng Liangyu led Chen Tang through many twists and turns, stopping and starting, and finally arrived at a rather remote location in Changze County and walked into a house.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, with many empty houses that had been vacant for many years and no one lived there.

After entering the house, Meng Liangyu sat on the chair, breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Chen Tang went out for another walk, and only returned after making sure that no one was following him.

"Brother Chen, thanks to you tonight, otherwise I would have died in that alley."

Meng Liangyu wanted to stand up and bow, but Chen Tang waved his hand and pushed him back, saying, "It's nothing, you take care of your wound first."

Meng Liangyu nodded, took out the golden wound medicine from his arms, took off the clothes on his left shoulder, sprinkled the medicine powder on it, and took out a roll of gauze from the room, and bandaged it around his shoulder with one hand very skillfully.

"I guess we all have doubts in our hearts, so you ask first."

Meng Liangyu said with a smile.

Chen Tang asked straight to the point: "Why are you being hunted by the Black Water Gang?"

Meng Liangyu did not answer directly, but looked at Chen Tang, with a gleam in his eyes, and said slowly: "Actually, I have a plan."

"Provoking a fight between the Black Water Gang and the Evil Wolf Gang?"

Chen Tang asked.

Meng Liangyu smiled.

There is no need for too much nonsense when smart people talk to each other.

Meng Liangyu said, "Li Tao died during the day, and the case was closed as burglary, but this reason is full of loopholes. The leader of the Evil Wolf Gang will never believe it. The biggest suspect is the Black Water Gang." Chen Tang said, "So you sneaked into the Black Water Gang tonight, wanting to kill a few Black Water Gang members and put the blame on the Evil Wolf Gang."

"good."

Meng Liangyu said: "It's just that, at the Black Water Gang's base, I encountered those four swordsmen who came from the military. Although I killed one of them, I was also injured and almost died there."

Chen Tang asked, "Why do you want to move against these two gangs?"

Meng Liangyu said: "The people of Changze County are already having a hard time living under the heavy burden of corvée and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the imperial court. Now, they have to endure the exploitation and bullying of the two local gangs, which is even more miserable."

"Normally, these gang members are rampant in the county, bullying the people, and no one dares to mess with them. I arrested a few of them, but they were released by County Magistrate Sun within a few days. It was useless."

"The Black Water Gang is even more domineering. Let alone arresting their people, if you provoke them, you may be suppressed by the government!"

At this point, Meng Liangyu sighed and said, "There are some things you can't see. In fact, in the county government, there are countless cases involving these two gangs, piled up like a mountain, and no one cares about them at all."

"If the two gangs can fight each other and both suffer losses, perhaps the people of Changze County can breathe a sigh of relief."

Chen Tang had already felt the same way about what Meng Liangyu said.

So he felt no burden at all when he started killing the members of the Evil Wolf Gang, as it was like getting rid of harm to the people.

As for the people from the Blackwater Gang, it goes without saying that they have a personal grudge against him.

After a pause, Meng Liangyu added: "Of course, I also have some personal grudges with the Black Water Gang."

"I was originally working in Wu'an County. Half a year ago, I saw that a caravan of the Black Water Gang seemed to have some problems, so I wanted to check what they were transporting."

"I didn't expect that before the inspection was completed, the county lieutenant of Wu'an County came to the scene in person to protect them. The next day, I was demoted to Changze County with a written document."

Chen Tang nodded.

In fact, Meng Liangyu didn't need to talk about this kind of personal grudge.

He was so frank because he trusted Chen Tang.

Currently in Changze County, the only person he can trust is Chen Tang!

Because Meng Liangyu vaguely realized that what Chen Tang was going to do might be similar to what he did!

"You have a good idea."

Chen Tang pondered and said, "However, it may not be that easy to provoke a fight between the two gangs. As long as the two gangs are willing to sit down and have an open and honest talk, there may be room for explanation."

"of course."

Meng Liangyu nodded and said, "But during this period, I sneaked into the Black Water Gang several times and also found out some information. The Black Water Gang seems to be planning some big move. Changze County is a stronghold that they value very much, and they want to completely control it."

Chen Tang suddenly realized, "That is to say, even if these things didn't happen, the Black Water Gang would still attack the Evil Wolf Gang?"

Meng Liangyu said: "All I did was add fuel to the fire."

After a while, Meng Liangyu said, "Brother Chen, now it's my turn to ask you."

Chen Tang said: "We have to make this clear first. There are some things I may not be able to say."

After all, he had too many secrets, such as being a mountain guest and meditating in a trance, which he could not possibly tell Meng Liangyu.

"I originally had many questions in my mind that I wanted to ask you, but now... there is only one question left."

Meng Liangyu smiled and said, "Brother Chen, are you willing to join forces with me?"

Chen Tang didn't answer, but just stretched out his hand.

Meng Liangyu also raised his hand.

clap clap clap!
The two palms collided three times in mid-air.

The two looked at each other and smiled.
