Chapter 715: Chu Liuxiang's Involvement
Chapter 715: Chu Liuxiang's Involvement
Yan Dianhong and Qu Wurong headed to Suzhou to meet with Li Yuhuan and his wife, while Jin Banhua and Hua Zhenzhen went to meet with Yun Conglong.
When they saw Yun Conglong again, his face was even paler than before, and his eyes were redder.
In front of him lay two corpses.
The corpses wore dark green clothing, but their waists were adorned with a unique belt made of seven-colored silk ribbons, the unmistakable mark of the Fengwei Gang, the sole ruler of the Huai River.
"Wu Wei Yang is in trouble!" Yun Conglong exclaimed.
Hua Zhenzhen immediately recognized the fatal wounds on the corpses—a copper coin-sized wound on their left ribs, clearly an arrow injury that had pierced through their bodies.
"Wu Wei Yang is known as the Divine Arrow Sun, was this his doing?" Hua Zhenzhen asked.
"Absolutely not!" Yun Conglong replied.
"Why?" Hua Zhenzhen inquired.
"Because these two were members of the Fengwei Gang and also my brothers from the Divine Dragon Gang," Yun Conglong explained.
"What do you mean?" Hua Zhenzhen was puzzled.
Yun Conglong clenched his teeth and said, "Although there have been many rumors in the jianghu about how I and Wu Wei Yang became acquainted, we have never acknowledged it, nor have we shown excessive closeness. Therefore, not many people know about it."
Hua Zhenzhen looked at the corpses before her, her eyes lighting up. "These two were your most trusted subordinates, sent to infiltrate the Fengwei Gang to pass messages between you and Wu Wei Yang."
"That's right!" Yun Conglong affirmed. "So this definitely wasn't Wu Wei Yang's doing. Something must have happened to him, and it's likely related to Bat Island!"
"Why do you say that?" Hua Zhenzhen asked.
"Today is the day I agreed to meet with Ding Feng," Yun Conglong abruptly changed the topic.
"A few days ago, I sent someone to tell him that I agreed to his request," Yun Conglong said, looking at Jin Banhua. "After this Bat Island auction ends and he returns from the island, I'll assist him in dealing with Renyi Manor and the Wang family."
"You won't have to wait for his return," Jin Banhua nodded and smiled.
"I hope so," Yun Conglong said. "I told him about you. The Jin family in the capital has connections with me, and Jin Banhua loves collecting martial arts secrets. She heard about Bat Island and also wants to join in the fun. He agreed to that as well."
Jin Banhua nodded. "When are we meeting?"
"Tonight," Yun Conglong said, his eyes burning with intensity. "Hai Kuotian of the Purple Whale Gang is hosting a banquet at Sanhe Pavilion, and Ding Feng will be there too."
Hua Zhenzhen's eyes flashed with insight, and she couldn't help but ask, "The Purple Whale Gang dominates the vast ocean, and Hai Kuotian is a formidable figure. Has he also submitted to Bat Island?"
"It seems so," Yun Conglong nodded, his face suddenly turning grim as he touched upon the crucial point. "And tonight's banquet will also have Wu Wei Yang in attendance!"
Hua Zhenzhen furrowed her brows slightly, deep in thought. "You said Wu Wei Yang is in trouble and it's related to Bat Island, but he's going to appear at Hai Kuotian's banquet tonight?"
"Indeed!" Yun Conglong clenched his fist. "I know Wu Wei Yang well; he's a tough guy who would never submit to Bat Island!"
"But just two days ago, he vehemently denied knowing anything about Bat Island," Hua Zhenzhen said.
Yun Conglong was startled and couldn't help but ask, "What did you say?"
But Hua Zhenzhen knew he had heard her, so she didn't repeat herself. Instead, she glanced at Jin Banhua with admiration before turning to Yun Conglong and said, "It's easier to paint a tiger's skin than to depict its bones, and easier to know a person's face than their heart."
Yun Conglong fell silent, biting his teeth in frustration. "I need to ask Wu Wei Yang what he's up to!"
Jin Banhua spoke softly, "Don't forget that you've already submitted to Bat Island."
"I know!" Yun Conglong felt both frustrated and furious. "If Wu Wei Yang really becomes a lackey for Bat Island, I'll sever all ties with him! If the Divine Dragon Gang and the Fengwei Gang want to fight again, so be it!"
Jin Banhua gave Yun Conglong a sidelong glance.
You're certainly full of bravado, but in the original story, after discovering Wu Wei Yang's replacement, his spirit was completely deflated. He was killed by the imposter, and his only contribution was providing Chu Liuxiang with some inconsequential evidence. He died without any value.
Speaking of Chu Liuxiang...
I wonder what changes will occur in "Ghostly Love and Chivalry" without Xue Xiaoren. Will Chu Liuxiang still get involved with Hu Tiehua?
In the original story, in the fourth part, Hu Tiehua finds Chu Liuxiang and tells him that he saw Kumei Master descending the mountain, but Gao Yanan ignores him. The curious Chu Liuxiang, who loves to stir up trouble, decides to join Hu Tiehua and comes here, getting involved in the Bat Island incident.
They first encounter Kumei Master's shipwreck, then meet Hai Kuotian and Gou Zichang in the bathhouse, and subsequently, Quick Net Zhang San, Jin Lingzhi, and Ding Feng.
After a series of conflicts and schemes, Chu Liuxiang's identity is exposed, and he becomes deeply entangled in the matter.
...
Unlike the original story, Yun Conglong, having an escape route, did not bring the two bodies to Wu Wei Yang for an explanation. Instead, he traveled light and, together with Jin Banhua, arrived at Sanhe Pavilion.
The three of them reached the upper floor and heard a heated argument about Light Body Skills coming from one of the rooms.
The next moment, Yun Conglong's face had returned to normal. He pushed open the door, and everyone's gaze fell upon the three of them.
Jin Banhua looked over and saw a majestic man in a purple robe with a jade belt, and a man in a green robe with a sword at his waist. These two should be the leader of the Purple Whale Gang, Hai Kuotian, and the Lone Hero, the Sea's Lone Eagle, Xiang Tianfei.
Apart from these two, there was also a tall man sitting to the side, with an ordinary appearance. Underneath him was a three-foot-long box, and it was none other than the murderer from the Kaifeng Prefecture case, Gou Zichang.
Next to Gou Zichang sat an elderly man in a brocade robe, his hair and beard white, with an air of importance. He wore a waist sash woven from seven-colored silk threads, likely the fake Wu Wei Yang.
Looking further, there was also an elegant young lady in a luxurious gown, with a noble air about her, like a young mistress from a wealthy family. Next to her was a gentle and warm-looking young man.
Jin Lingzhi and Ding Feng were also present.
Then, Jin Banhua smiled because he saw Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua, and as expected, they were also involved in this matter.
As Jin Banhua saw them, they, of course, also noticed Jin Banhua.
Chu Liuxiang's eyes lit up, while Hu Tiehua was overjoyed. He waved his hand and called out, "How did you get here too?"
"I heard that Chu Liuxiang not only wasn't sincerely helping me find the White Jade Beauty but was also drinking and eating fish at Cup Throwing Manor," Jin Banhua said as he walked into the room, rolling up his sleeves. "It's clear he doesn't care about my matter at all."
"Since he's not being kind, don't blame me for being ungrateful," Jin Banhua said, sitting down casually next to the two. He turned to Hu Tiehua and said, "Chu Liuxiang left three beautiful handmaids behind and came to join you instead. If you say he doesn't like you, I'd be the first to disbelieve it!"
Everyone had been wondering about Jin Banhua's identity, but upon hearing his words, they were all shocked, and their gazes towards Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua became peculiar.
