There was silence at the door of the auction venue.
You can hear the needle drop.
The emergence of overseas Hongmen is shocking enough.
But the personal arrival of the leader of the Qing Gang was even more shocking, especially the bombshell dropped by Situ Denglong, which shocked everyone.
Elder Lei Mingtang, is he dead?
"..." Big beads of sweat appeared on Chang Zhen's forehead. He raised his eyes and looked forward, and happened to meet Situ Denglong's eyes ten meters away.
Situ Denglong is not a cultivator, but an ordinary person.
Killing an ordinary person within a distance of ten meters was easy for Chang Zhen, but he didn't have the courage to take action at all.
That's right.
Even if Situ Denglong was just an ordinary person, he would not have the courage to take action at all.
"Don't you want to kill me?"
Situ Denglong seemed to have read through his mind and said with a smile: "I am the leader of the Qing Gang. If you kill me, you will be a great contributor to the overseas Hongmen."
"As long as you can kill me, I guess your hall master will personally reward you."
"Are you sure you don't want to take a risk before death?"
Fight?
What to fight for?
As the leader of the Qing Gang, it is not so easy to assassinate someone.
In order to kill Situ Ba, the former leader of the Green Gang, Hongmen overseas suffered heavy losses, almost injuring the enemy a thousand and losing a thousand and a half, and losing many strong men before killing him.
Situ Denglong's personal strength is not as good as Situ Ba.
But this man's strategy is nothing short of evil! "Since you don't take action, then just wait for death."
"Don't worry, you can't escape."
Situ Denglong smiled lightly, and then walked forward.
Chang Zhen clenched his fists and felt cold all over his body.
"Walk."
Chang Zhen gritted his teeth and rushed into the auction with a group of people behind him. He did not dare to leave in front of the Qing Gang, so he could only enter the venue first and look for a solution.
..."Mr. Tang."
Situ Denglong looked at Tang Ming with a smile: "The overseas Hongmen put you on the wanted list probably because of the Yue'er incident."
"Don't worry, since I've come to Shanyu City, Hongmen can't do anything to you."
Tang Ming smiled lightly: "Thank you very much, Leader Situ."
Situ Denglong said with a smile: "Haha, if I really want to say thank you, the Qinggang should say thank you to you. Yue'er has become a lot more cheerful after returning from Jinling City."
Speaking of Situ Yue, Tang Ming also showed a warm smile on his face.
"By the way, Mr. Tang."
Situ Denglong's tone was slightly heavier: "This time the Nine Turns of Resurrection Leaf was born, it is estimated that many powerful people came from overseas Hongmen.
""I got information that both Leiming Hall and Liehuo Hall have sent elders over."
"The Qing Gang only killed the elder of Leiming Hall, but the elder of Liehuo Hall disappeared. Mr. Tang still needs to pay more attention."
Tang Ming's heart moved.
The old man who fought with him that night also had the same surname of Liu, and must have been the elder of Liehuo Hall.
This person has died, and the Qinggang naturally cannot detect him.
"The Nine-turn Resurrection Leaf has been born, the Qinggang has arrived, and Mr. Tang is also in Shanyu. Hongmen overseas will soon know this information and will probably send strong men over."
"The Qinggang has already made all preparations. If Mr. Tang doesn't mind, you can go with us."
Situ Denglong made a suggestion.
"Thank you for your kindness."
Tang Ming smiled lightly and shook his head: "I'd better not disturb Gang Leader Situ. If nothing else, Tang still has the ability to protect himself."
With that said, he nodded towards Situ Denglong, turned around and led Meng Jiayi into the venue.
..."Is he the current leader of the Qing Gang?"
Meng Jiayi was a little shocked: "Why do I feel that he has no cultivation? Compared with the previous generation of Green Gang leaders, he is less domineering and more bookish."
"That's not right. I'm either bookish, or I feel weird, as if I don't have any secrets in front of him..." As she said this, she involuntarily shrank her head.
Tang Ming smiled lightly and said: "Although Situ Denglong has no cultivation, his strategy and power-taking skills are extremely proficient, and he can strategize directly to people's hearts."
"He is a true counselor."
"Especially good at scheming."
A true counselor.
This is Tang Ming's evaluation of Situ Denglong. If this kind of person were in ancient times, he would have been the prime minister's first assistant, and he was extremely terrifying.
"Counselor?"
Meng Jiayi tilted her head and thought for a while: "This description is appropriate. If he is a counselor, then the former leader of the Green Gang is a warrior on the battlefield."
Um?
Tang Ming was stunned for a moment: "Do you know the former leader of the Qing Gang?"
"Of course, the former leader of the Qinggang is named Situ Ba. Uncle Situ has a very good relationship with my dad and we come here to visit almost every year."
"I still remember that Uncle Situ had a very cute daughter named Situ Yue."
Meng Jiayi said, her pretty face darkened: "It's a pity that Uncle Situ passed away..." Situ Ba.
Situ Denglong.
This is the first time that Tang Ming knows the name of Xiao Yueyue's father. Moreover, the former leader of the Qing Gang and the head of the Meng family of the Qiang ethnic group are close friends... "What about now?"
"Now that Situ Denglong is in power, will he still maintain friendly relations with your family?"
Tang Ming frowned and asked.
For some reason, he always felt that Situ Denglong's arrival was a bit strange.
Back in Jinling, even though he knew the whereabouts of his niece, Situ Denglong still held back for a long time, strategized, hid it from everyone, and then rushed directly into Jinling with lightning speed.
This kind of strategy is astonishing to heaven and earth.
If it weren't for Mr. Fan from Purple Mountain, the Green Gang would have taken over Jinling City! For such a scheming person, Tang Ming didn't believe that Situ Denglong's purpose in coming to Shanyu City was just to intercept and kill the Hongmen elders! "I
Dad’s relationship with the Green Gang is average, he’s just good friends with Situ Ba personally.”
"After Uncle Situ passed away, before Situ Denglong came to power, he visited my father and wanted to seek help, but he was rejected. Over time, the relationship between the two families gradually became indifferent."
"Especially in the past few years, Situ Denglong wanted to use Shanyu City as a springboard to expand the Qing Gang's power to Tiannan. Our two families almost went to war."
Meng Jiayi explained: "The relationship was very tense at the time, and we almost started fighting."
Almost got into a fight?
Tang Ming frowned again, just as he continued to ask.
"Ahem."
Guard Akui couldn't stand it any longer. He coughed a few times and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Tang, this matter is a secret of the Meng family. The eldest lady has said enough before."
"Akui, what are you doing?"
Meng Jiayi raised her eyebrows, somewhat dissatisfied: "I didn't say anything important."
"Miss, I really can't say more about this matter..." Akui smiled bitterly and saluted Tang Ming: "This matter involves confidentiality, so I really can't say more about it. Please forgive me, Mr. Tang. I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I'm just asking casually."
Tang Ming smiled lightly and shook his head.
The smile at the corner of his mouth was a little playful.
Some things were just rough guesses. Even if Meng Jiayi said it, he would not think too deeply about it, but Akui's words to stop it were another kind of wake-up call.
There is no three hundred taels of silver here.
"interesting."
"Situ Denglong's arrival in Shanyu City is really not that simple. Could it be that the leader of the Green Gang wants to enter Shanyu?"
Tang Ming's eyes burst into light.
Just like that time in Jinling City, it was okay for Situ Denglong not to go out. Once he showed up, he would naturally be fully prepared.
Shanyu City is located on the southern edge of the Yangtze River Basin. According to its geographical location, this area belongs to Hongmen.
The Qing Gang wants to attack Hongmen in a big way.
Crossing the river is a necessary strategic preparation!
