Chapter 182: Surrender, or die!
in the lobby.
When it was revealed that Li Xiao was the new leader of the Baipi Gang, everyone was shocked.
Even Li Chengqian frowned slightly, and after seeing Lin Zhong's reaction, his face was a little unhappy.
Lin Zhong frowned slightly, and pondered: "Does your Highness have proof?"
"Where is the proof?"
Zhang Quan frowned and said, "Before Gang Master Yuan left, he notified the hall masters of this order. Could it be that Master Lin wanted to say that he didn't receive it?"
"My Wan Qi Hall has never received such a ridiculous order." Lin Zhong said in a deep voice.
"you!"
Zhang Quan was suddenly so angry that he could not speak.
Li Xiao looked at all this coldly, and said expressionlessly, "I'm not here this time to ask for your opinion."
"Surrender, or die!"
"Choose yourself!"
He was too lazy to talk nonsense.
Lin Zhong made it clear that he didn't want to talk about it.
"Caomin asked himself that he hadn't done anything against the laws of the Tang Dynasty, so why should His Highness do anything to me?" Lin Zhong asked with a serious face.
Li Xiao glanced at the strong men around him, and said in a cold voice, "Assassination of the lord, is this crime enough?"
Lin Zhong couldn't answer for an instant.
His wife did say such things, but that was only on the premise of not knowing Li Xiao's identity.
But if you really want to reason with Li Xiao, it probably won't make sense.
For a while, he was embarrassed.
"Brother Xiao..." At this moment, Li Chengqian said, "It's just a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, why should swords be confronted?"
"This is between me and them. It's not good for His Royal Highness to intervene!" Li Xiao said coldly.
Li Chengqian had a strong face: "Lin Zhong is a good friend of this palace, and his affairs are my affairs."
"Besides, brother Xiao is the king of Yue, how can he meddle in the affairs of the folk gangs?"
"Whoever they want to follow as the leader of the gang is their own business, and it is still inconvenient for you and me to intervene."
"What the prince said is that I was confused for a while and lost my sense." Li Xiao said expressionlessly.
Neither can he.
Being in the royal family, the most taboo thing is forming cliques.
Even if it were to be done, it would have to be done in secret, without publicity.
His majestic lord, if the news of his development of civil power spreads, it will probably attract countless suspicions.
"Brother Xiao has spent so much time, just want this green steel sword..." Li Chengqian said thoughtfully, "If this sword is very important to Brother Xiao, it's not that I can't give up my love."
In his opinion, Li Xiao obviously couldn't compete with him in the bidding, so he wanted to use his power to overwhelm him.
Of course, what he said was just a test, and he didn't really want to give up the Qinggang Sword to Li Xiao.
But who knows, Li Xiao said with a smile on his face: "That's kind!"
"Since the prince insists on sending the sword, then I will be disrespectful."
"Hey, don't you Wan Qi hall be stunned, the prince has already spoken, why don't you send the sword over?"
Li Chengqian: "..."
His face was dark, and he was a little speechless.
Although I knew that Li Xiao had a thick skin, but I didn't expect it to be this thick.
"Your Highness..."
The people of Wanqitang looked at Li Chengqian hesitantly.
"Since I have spoken, I will definitely keep my promise."
Li Chengqian thought for a while and continued: "However, this sword is also useful in this palace. How about sending someone to send it to Brother Xiao after it is used?"
"Ha ha……"
Li Xiao chuckled lightly, but did not speak.
This is clearly an attempt to renege on the debt.
He was almost certain that this sword would never be delivered.
"The matter of the sword has been settled, I think Brother Xiao has no worries in his heart, I don't know if Brother Xiao wants to continue participating in the auction or leave?" Li Chengqian said slowly.
Li Xiao didn't answer Li Chengqian, but looked at Lin Zhong: "One last question, are you sure about your choice?"
"Forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand His Highness's words." Lin Zhong said.
"Very good!" The corners of Li Xiao's lips curled up, "I'm really afraid that you will change your mind, this is the only way to be interesting."
At this time, many people in the lobby looked strange.
"The king of Yue was still a game of chess after all, and he failed to compete for the crown prince."
"That's right, the Baibi Gang will be under the Prince's family in the future. They are so lucky that they can find such a big backer. Will they go sideways in the capital from now on?"
"Then it was also false to say that Mr. Yuan handed over the position of Clan Leader to King Yue?"
"Of course it's a lie. Don't look at King Yue, who is still young, but he is cunning! The fabricated stories are getting more and more true."
"I didn't get the sword, and now I'm kicked out in desperation, what a pity!"
After Li Chengqian said a few words, the situation became clear instantly.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
"Step aside!"
"Go away!"
Immediately afterwards, a large group of people rushed in from outside.
This group of people is about fifty or sixty, and judging from their clothes, they seem to be divided into several different factions.
"who?!"
The captain of the Law Enforcement Team of Wanqitang shouted loudly: "How dare you be good at Wanqitang, you can't find death?!"
"Where is the law enforcement team!"
With an order, all the thugs in the lobby instantly turned their spears and pointed at the door.
At this time, after being blocked, dozens of people who came in at the door started their hands one after another.
These people turned out to be masters of agility.
The thugs of the Wanqi Hall had almost no resistance and were knocked to the ground.
"Protect Your Highness!"
"Protect Your Highness!"
The guards around Li Chengqian and Li Xiao became alert instantly.
This group of people of unknown origin is very likely to be an assassin.
After the group drove back the people from the Wanqi Hall, the leaders in front searched the hall.
Soon, when they saw Li Xiao, their eyes lit up.
Immediately afterwards, they rushed towards Li Xiao.
"court death!"
When Zhao Yuntian saw this situation, his expression turned cold, and the steel sword in his hand was about to stab out.
"and many more!"
Li Xiao was thoughtful, and quickly stopped Zhao Yuntian.
But at this time, when Lin Zhong saw the appearance of the visitor clearly, he had a look of astonishment on his face: "Wang Jifeng, Lou Chonghuan, why are you?"
Numerous exclamations erupted from the crowd.
"They seem to be other hall masters of the Baibi Gang, what's going on?"
"More than one, all hall masters are here! What do they want to do?"
"I'm afraid it's going to be a battle, right? It looks menacing..."
"Perhaps, after they learned that Wanqi Hall has taken refuge in the prince, they also came to surrender."
"Yeah, all the good things have been taken over by Wanqitang. If they don't take action, the Baibi Gang will have the surname Lin in the future."
The audience speculated and wondered.
At this time, Lin Zhong raised his hand to stop the subordinates who kept coming.
He walked forward slowly: "Wang Jifeng, there are distinguished guests here today, I don't have time to entertain you, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow."
However, the old man named Wang Jifeng suddenly passed Lin Zhong.
Lin Zhong kept raising his hand and stood there stiffly.
Immediately afterwards, one after another passed by Lin Zhong.
They came straight to Li Xiao not far away.
Afterwards, they all knelt down on the ground in unison, and shouted: "Baipi Gang, Wang Jifeng, the master of the Caochun Hall, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Yue, and the leader of the gang!"
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and the Master of the Clan Master!"
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and the Master of the Clan Master!"
Dozens of people behind him also knelt in front of Li Xiao, shouting in unison.
The sound exploded like thunder, resounding in everyone's mind.
It was like a heavy hammer hitting their hearts hard.
"what?!"
"All the hall masters of the Baibi Gang actually called King Yue the master! What's going on?"
Chapter 183: Yuan Tiangang is Mr. Yuan?
"You are..."
Li Xiao looked at the dozens of people kneeling in front of him, his eyes thoughtful.
"Your Highness! When we received the news that you were here, we rushed over without stopping."
Wang Jifeng said with a serious face: "Fortunately, it's not too late."
"How can you be sure it's me?" Li Xiao asked doubtfully.
"Your Highness doesn't know something. Before Mr. Yuan left, he specially sent orders to each branch hall and left a portrait at the same time."
After finishing speaking, Wang Jifeng yelled at Lin Chong angrily: "Lin Zhong, you Wanqi Hall are planning to rebel?!"
"Don't talk nonsense! What is rebellion?" Lin Zhong said angrily, "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and following His Royal Highness is the clear choice!"
"When will it be your turn to decide in the gang? This is Mr. Yuan's order!"
"Yuan Tiangang is old and dim-sighted, ignorant of current affairs, are you also ignorant?"
The two confronted each other and refused to give in.
However, Li Xiao's eyes widened and he shouted in surprise, "Who are you talking about?!"
"What is your Highness asking?" Wang Jifeng asked suspiciously.
"That Mr. Yuan, named Yuan Tiangang?"
