During the exchange between monks and Taoists, a group of people was also hidden in the mountains and forests about fifty miles away from Liujue Valley.
There are approximately more than 300 people in this group.
Each of these people is full of charlatanism, but it can also be seen that they are well-trained.
Everyone is wearing mail armor, and there is a piece of leather armor on the chest, with a lifelike tiger painted on the leather armor.
It's as if this tiger will jump out of the leather armor at any time and devour anyone.
You must know that private possession and private production of armor are illegal in the Zhou Dynasty.
Once found, more than five items can be beheaded.
At this moment, more than 300 people are all wearing armor, and they are all being dragged out to behead them. There will be no unjust, false or wrongful convictions.
In addition to the armor on their bodies, everyone is equipped with a hard bow and a steel sword as standard.
This equipment is even better than that of a regular army.
These are all people from the Black Tiger Gang.
There are obvious differences between the Black Tiger Gang and the five major gangs in Qianjing City.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the gangs in Qianjing City rotate like a revolving door.
The gangs in Qianjing City change very quickly, and it is inevitable that they will get involved with the imperial court in Qianjing City.
Often if the backstage within the imperial court collapses, then the gang will cease to exist.
Just like the five major gangs killed by Qin Che before.
The gang leader died, and Jin Xiang fell.
The five major gangs fell apart and split into countless small gangs.
Then maybe after a period of fighting, new five major gangs will appear.
After some time, there may be a new round of replacement.
But the Black Tiger Gang is different.
This is a gang that has existed for hundreds of years.
The Black Tiger Gang is also in the escort business.
It is also the business of a bodyguard bureau, but what the Black Tiger Gang does is completely different from that of the bodyguard bureaus of the five major gangs in the capital.
The escort agencies of the five major gangs in Qianjing City mainly deal with business in Qianjing City and some cities near Qianjing City.
But the Black Tiger Gang is different. The Black Tiger Gang does business all over the world.
They do all the business of escorting and delivering escorts throughout Dazhou.
No matter what the goods are, it doesn’t matter where the goods are delivered.
As long as they can afford it, they will accept it.
In the Black Tiger Gang, as long as you are willing to pay, it is a trivial matter for a Qi Gathering master to deliver darts.
The Black Tiger Gang's escort bureaus have branches in 70% of the cities in Dazhou.
The headquarters of the Black Tiger Gang is like a small independent kingdom.
He has his own private army, his own blacksmith shop, his own martial arts gym, etc.
The Black Tiger Gang has tens of thousands of members.
The Black Tiger Gang is a gang that has always been doing business as it should, that is, interfering in government affairs, but not doing bad things that rob the country.
They are serious business gangs, so the court will naturally not bother to deal with them.
What's more, the existence of the Black Tiger Gang also helped the court speed up the circulation of local goods.
At this time, a man also wearing the armor of the Black Tiger Gang quickly entered the temporary camp and met the leader of the team this time.
"Deputy Gang Leader Wu discovered the army in Liujue Valley."
Hearing that they only found officers and soldiers, Deputy Gang Leader Wu didn't care at all.
They are just officers and soldiers, and it’s not like the Black Tiger Gang has never faced them before.
Officials and soldiers at the county level must take a detour when seeing the Black Tiger Gang.
Even if they are state-level officers and soldiers, the Black Tiger Gang may not be afraid.
"How many people are there?" Deputy Gang Leader Wu asked casually.
"The number of people is about two thousand." The person below replied.
Deputy gang leader Wu frowned and said, "Two thousand? Are they sent by the state government?"
Deputy gang leader Wu is very aware of the situation in Longding County.
It is absolutely impossible to have two thousand officers and soldiers.
The person below replied: "It doesn't look like someone sent by the state capital. From the way they are dressed, they look like the Red Flame Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Upon hearing the words "Red Flame Army", Deputy Gang Leader Wu sat up straight, and at the same time, all the contempt and casualness on his face disappeared.
What replaced it was a serious attitude.
"Why did the Red Flame Army appear here?" Deputy Gang Leader Wu asked in a solemn voice.
The subordinate said: "I don't know, but I was discovered by the Red Flame Army's scouts before I even got close."
It’s not surprising that the Red Flame Army has such qualities.
As the most powerful force in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Red Flame Army is not a soft persimmon.
The Black Tiger Gang is not afraid of the state guards, not even the Imperial Army.
But the Red Flame Army is different.
The Red Flame Army’s military exploits were achieved through hard work.
Each of them is a soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles.
"The Red Flame Army didn't chase you, so they just let you leave?" Deputy Gang Leader Wu stared at the Black Tiger Gang members below with cold eyes.
The person who came back to report felt an invisible pressure covering his whole body.
His shoulders could not help but sink.
"My subordinate is sure that he was not followed by the Red Flame Army. After my subordinate left, the Red Flame Army did not follow him. My subordinate also felt strange about this matter, so he quickly came back to report it."
After hearing the words of the person below, Vice Gang Leader Wu looked at his expression and calmed down his aura.
He was sure that the people below were not lying.
But in this case, there is no way to explain why the Red Flame Army appeared here.
But soon the deputy gang leader Wu also thought of the reason.
The jade tablet fell into the hands of the imperial court.
Only in this way can we explain why the Red Flame Army appears here.
But if it was just because the opponent was the Red Flame Army, the Black Tiger Gang would retreat.
The Black Tiger Gang will never be able to do it.
Deputy gang leader Wu's thoughts are the same as Jihuai's.
So what if the imperial court gets the sixth jade medal.
Only one person can enter the thick fog, and it will only depend on that person's ability.
The only thing he needs to consider now is that he needs to temporarily hide the members of the Black Tiger Gang around him.
If there really is a conflict with the court by then, the goal on our side will be too big.
Facing the two thousand elite Red Flame Army, I will definitely suffer a loss.
It’s just not worth it.
"Pass my order for everyone to retreat fifty miles and leave the Six Jue Valley's sphere of influence." Deputy Gang Leader Wu thought for a moment and finally issued the order to retreat.
Let all his men evacuate, and then enter alone.
In this way, when you want to evacuate, you can evacuate at any time.
"Deputy Gang Leader, if this happens, if someone wants to harm the Deputy Gang Leader, we may not be able to provide timely support." Deputy Gang Leader Wu's strategist said worriedly.
Deputy gang leader Wu waved his hand and said: "The Red Flame Army suddenly arrived this time. No matter who it is, they don't dare to hoard too many people here. So you just need to retreat."
After a pause, Deputy Gang Leader Wu continued: "And in this way, it is actually a good thing.
The Red Flame Army is here, so the probability of being ambushed is not very high.
There are not that many people who need to be on guard."
After listening to Deputy Gang Leader Wu's analysis, the military advisor naturally agreed, but he still felt that there was another hidden worry.
That is, what should we do if we have a conflict with the masters of the imperial court?
"When you get inside, everyone will naturally rely on their abilities. If he has the ability to steal what he wants, that's his ability.
If he doesn't have the ability to take away what he wants and keeps his life inside, that's his life too.
So what if it’s the imperial court?
Since the imperial court insists on getting involved in Jianghu affairs, it must follow the rules of Jianghu." Deputy Gang Leader Wu said with cold eyes.
