Chapter 17 The Golden Dragon Gang
"Master Zhu..."
Senior brother Luo was shocked. He remembered that his junior brother Zhang had taken refuge with a Ming vassal king not long ago. Could it be that the man in front of him was that prince?
The Golden Dragon Gang hangs around in the world, and has little status in front of the princes and nobles. This prince came to visit today, and he doesn't know what he wants.
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, and he had some doubts, but the person the other party wanted to meet was his master Jiao Gongli, and it was useless no matter how much he thought about it.
The Ming vassal kings have a very bad reputation among the people, but after all, their status is here. As long as they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how unwilling they are in their hearts, they must show respect on the surface.
After learning Feng Yuan's identity, Senior Brother Luo immediately reported it to the house. Soon, an old man with slightly white beard and hair strode out, followed by several young people.
This old man is Jiao Gongli, a local snake in Jinling and the leader of the Jinlong Gang.
"The noble man is here. I'm sorry that I missed you so much. Please forgive me!" Jiao Gongli had a smile on his face. As soon as he walked out of the door, he hurriedly bowed his hands to Feng Yuan and others.
Feng Yuan came this time with no intention of suppressing the other party based on his identity. Jiao Gongli also knew that the other party did not want to reveal his identity, so he tacitly called the other party a noble person.
"Master Jiao, you're welcome. Although I haven't been here in Jinling for a long time, I've heard about the name of the Iron-backed Golden Ao!"
Feng Yuan chuckled. The other person was so polite, so he returned the courtesy and exchanged a few business words with the other person.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it! Sir, please come to the house to speak!"
After Jiao Gongli said a few words, he quickly turned around and welcomed everyone into the hall.
Everyone sat down respectively, and Zhang Dahong stepped forward and introduced everyone. Although Sun Qi, Cui Wanfu and others were average in strength, they all had some reputation in the world.
Jiao Gongli was a little surprised when he learned the identities of Sun Qi and others.
The Master Zhu in front of me has recruited so many good players, so he seems to have a plan in mind.
The two sides first talked about some recent events in the world, and exchanged polite greetings for a long time. Seeing the other's unspoken purpose, Jiao Gongli became a little impatient.
"Just now, my disciple said that Mr. Zhu has something to discuss. I wonder what it is about?"
"Since Master Jiao asked a question, I'll just say it straight away!"
Feng Yuan glanced at the other party. At this time, in the hall, in addition to his own group, there were two apprentices standing behind Jiao Gongli. They must be confidants, so he did not hide it.
"Master Jiao must also know my identity. Now the imperial court is on the verge of collapse. He may not be able to survive at any time. King Chuang Li Zicheng dug up the embankment of the Yellow River and flooded Kaifeng Mansion, causing millions of people in Henan to be displaced. He is ruthless and vicious.
The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are even more like barbarians and beasts. No matter who conquers the world in the future, I, the former vassal, will definitely not end well!"
When Jiao Gongli and his two disciples heard this, their expressions changed. They did not expect that the prince in front of them would actually say such words.
Sun Qi and others, who had taken refuge in Feng Yuan, also looked at each other at this time, and seemed to have some enlightenment in their hearts. They understood the reason why the master had been recruiting people to train his servants these days.
"If the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, there will be chaos in the world in the future. In order to protect myself, I must recruit troops. Master Jiao's Golden Dragon Gang is very powerful in southern Zhili, so I came here this time in the hope that Master Jiao can help me.
!”
After Feng Yuan said what he meant, Jiao Gongli couldn't help but frown.
"We, the Golden Dragon Gang, are all reckless, I'm afraid we can't help Mr. Zhu!"
Wu Ping, the eldest disciple next to Jiao Gongli, couldn't help but speak.
They, the Golden Dragon Gang, live a good life in Jinling. How can someone just want them to die for their lives with empty words? Even if the other party is the king of the Ming Dynasty, it won't work.
Jiao Gongli waved his hand to silence the other party, glanced at Feng Yuan, and said slowly: "Master Zhu, my apprentice is right, we are just some scumbags, how dare we interfere in the nobleman's affairs, for fear of disappointing the master!"
After speaking, Jiao Gongli picked up the tea on the table next to him.
As the saying goes, people with different Taoism do not agree with each other. One of them is a prince and aristocrat of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is a common man who makes a living in the rivers and lakes. They have nothing in common.
Jiao Gongli is a good gang leader and has no intention of relying on others to work in lowly positions.
Seeing that the other party wanted to see off the guests, Feng Yuan was not angry, but laughed. The other party's reaction was not beyond his expectation. The other party was not a mentally retarded person who would bow to him as soon as his body shook.
It won't happen at any time.
"Master Jiao, there is no need to refuse in a hurry. I am asking the Golden Dragon Gang to take action. Naturally, I will not just rely on my words. As long as the Golden Dragon Gang is willing to help, there will be a generous reward. You may wish to seriously consider it!"
After saying this, Feng Yuan stood up and said goodbye.
When he reached the door, Feng Yuan paused and said nonchalantly: "By the way, I heard a piece of news not long ago. Min Zihua of the Xiandu Sect is inviting heroes from all over the north of the Yangtze River. It is said that the Kunlun Sect, Emei Sect, Dian Cang Sect
There are experts from the Huashan sect and the Huashan sect. These people are preparing to come to Jinling, maybe they are coming for Master Jiao!"
"If Master Jiao is really in trouble, you might as well send someone to find me..."
When he heard Min Zihua's name, Jiao Gongli's expression changed, especially when he heard that Kunlun, Diancang, Emei and Huashan sect masters were all invited by Min Zihua, his face turned a little pale.
After getting up to see off Feng Yuan and his party, Jiao Gongli returned to the hall and sat on the chair with a frown on his face.
"Master!"
When Wu Ping saw his master like this, he also panicked.
But then he calmed down and said with a forced smile: "The guy named Zhu just talked nonsense. We and the Xiandu Sect have always been in harmony with each other. How could Min Zihua invite so many masters to deal with our Golden Dragon Gang?
"
Another disciple of Jiao Gongli, Luo Liru, observed his master's face and suddenly had an expectation in his heart. The master was an old man and it was impossible to believe just any news he heard.
The expression on Master's face right now proves that what Young Master Zhu just said is 80% to 90% true.
Although the Golden Dragon Gang is entrenched in southern Zhili, its tentacles can also extend to Jiangbei. What Mr. Zhu said is not a secret. As long as you send someone to inquire about the Jianghu in Jiangbei, you will know whether it is true or not.
"Oh...it's really what you're worried about!"
Jiao Gongli smiled bitterly, "Our Golden Dragon Gang has nothing to do with the Xiandu Sect, but Min Zihua and I have a brother-killing grudge! This time Min Zihua invites masters from all walks of life to Jinling, and he is afraid that he will have to fight to the death with me!
"
Speaking of this, Jiao Gongli hesitated for a moment. Seeing that there were only two apprentices in the hall, he did not hide anything and told what happened back then.
As a bodyguard, Min Ziye escorted an official's family back to his hometown. As a result, Min Ziye talked lewdly. Seeing the beauty of the official's daughter, he colluded with the owner of a village and made an appointment to kill the official and his family and steal their property.
Min Ziye is a hero who saves the beauty and achieves good things with the official's daughter.
This incident happened to be discovered by Jiao Gongli. Jiao Gongli still had some bottom lines in his heart and could not stand this kind of thing, so he fought with Min Ziye and hacked the other man to death with one knife.
"So that's it!"
Only then did Wu Ping and Luo Liru learn about the grudge between their master and Min Zihua.
Wu Ping gritted his teeth and said: "Master killed well, but the other party did something scandalous first, and he actually has the nerve to come to us to seek revenge! When Min Zihua arrives, we will fight to the death with him at worst!"
"Elder brother is right. We have thousands of experts in the Golden Dragon Gang, but we are afraid that they will not be able to send us to the Immortal Capital!" Luo Liru also said in a deep voice.
Jiao Gongli shook his head with a bitter look on his face.
It is true that the Golden Dragon Gang has thousands of good men, but most of the disciples rely on the Golden Dragon Gang to make a living, and only a few dozen people are actually killed.
