Chapter 72: Doing Business with the Money Gang
Chapter 72: Doing Business with the Money Gang
Yang Tingfeng lay in a pool of his own blood.
A master who had founded the Flying Whale Gang and ruled over seventy-two water and land docks in Jiangnan for nearly thirty years had met his end.
"It's so common in the martial arts world," Yu Longsheng clicked his tongue. "Who knows when someone will be cut down. But I never expected that Yang Dahuzi was a eunuch."
No wonder Madame Rose, instead of being content as the gang leader's wife, had run off with a pretty boy.
It wasn't easy being a widow while your husband was still alive.
Moreover, Yang Tingfeng's inadequacy had prevented Madame Rose from even fulfilling her desire to become a mother.
Ding Baiyun shot Yu Longsheng a disapproving glance. "You men always focus on such things."
"It's a matter of legacy and continuation of the family line!" Yu Longsheng argued, then continued with interest, "Yang Dahuzi was truly blind to people's true characters. Out of the four people he found, two were actually spies, and both had relationships with his women. This is quite a show!"
Ding Chengfeng expressed some regret. "It's a pity we didn't get to see Huang Fei's curved sword. Yang Dahuzi's martial arts skills were not weak, he shouldn't have died so miserably."
Yu Longsheng snorted. "When he hid his true identity and kept two discontented women by his side, he had already lost."
Ding Chengfeng nodded. "The Money Gang's entry into Jiangnan is now a certainty. Since the show is over, let's go back."
Just then, Huang Fei appeared at the entrance of the main hall, looking towards the four shadowy figures of the Flying Whale Gang.
"Lord Yu, Young Master Ding, Miss Ding, since you've come, why not show yourselves?"
Huang Fei's gaze swept across several places that were good for hiding, then fixed on the shadow of the watchtower closest to the main hall.
"The three of you sneaked into the Flying Whale Gang late at night, probably to see Huang Fei's curved sword. Unfortunately, I must disappoint you."
Huang Fei said indifferently, "However, since you have come uninvited, as your host, I shouldn't let you leave empty-handed.
My curved sword is right here. I wonder if Lord Yu would like to give me some guidance, or if Young Master Ding would like to take action?"
From the shadow of the watchtower, Ding Baiyun's eyebrows rose at Huang Fei's bold words.
Ding Chengfeng nodded and said coldly, "The Money Gang is indeed overbearing."
Huang Fei was well aware that the three of them might have just come to watch the show, but he still deliberately showed hostility.
Because Yu Longsheng and the others had shown disrespect to the Money Gang and himself first, he could use this as an excuse to teach them a lesson.
Of course, he wouldn't dare to kill them. Yu Longsheng and Ding Chengfeng were not weak, and with their track record of killing Yu Xiaodao, Huang Fei only dared to challenge them one-on-one.
But Huang Fei had to show the attitude of the Money Gang!
The phrase "leaving empty-handed" only applied to this particular encounter.
It could be said that the unspoken implications in the conversations of high-level martial artists were no simpler than those in the corporate world!
Ding Chengfeng narrowed his eyes. "I'll go!"
Although they had used a trick to kill Yu Xiaodao, Ding Chengfeng was still confident that he and Yu Longsheng together could take on Huang Fei head-on.
Huang Fei was strong, but Ding Chengfeng believed in his own abilities and didn't think he would lose.
However, Yu Longsheng didn't want to compare swords with Huang Fei, regardless of the outcome. He didn't want to provoke Jing Wuming.
The Money Gang was domineering, but there were others who would deal with them; he didn't need to get involved.
Besides, Shangguan Jinhong was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
So Yu Longsheng pulled back the eager Ding Chengfeng and deliberately "whispered" to him, "Brother Ding's words are just what I think. Huang Fei, the Moon Fox Hall Master of the Money Gang, is brave and resourceful, with an overwhelming aura. He would definitely be a good partner to cooperate with!"
Ding Chengfeng and his sister: ???
Not only was Huang Fei bewildered, but even Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun, who were close by, were perplexed.
"I just..."
"Brother Ding has always had an excellent eye for people, and I think the same," Yu Longsheng said in a lowered voice. He then leaped off the watchtower and enthusiastically cupped his hands together as he greeted Huang Fei, "Greetings, I am Yu Longsheng. Please excuse my abrupt arrival."
"Lord Yu..."
"Brother Ding and his sister were invited by me, mainly to witness the outcome of your battle with Yang Dahuzi, and also to see who I could potentially collaborate with," Yu Longsheng explained.
"Collaborate?"
"Yes, collaborate!"
Yu Longsheng nodded, "The weapons of thousands of gang members, as well as the ironware sold everywhere."
"Hmm?" Huang Fei's eyes flickered.
Yu Longsheng smiled faintly, "I knew that there would be a battle between you and Yang Dahuzi tonight, so I came to observe.
If Yang Dahuzi wins, the conflict between him and the Money Gang will be irreconcilable. He will have to arm his gang members and always be prepared for an all-out war with the Money Gang.
If you win, defeating the leader of the Flying Whale Gang and taking control of the seventy-two water and land docks in Jiangnan will make your influence unmatched. However, while intimidating some people, it will also arouse the vigilance of others, and future campaigns may have to be carried out more cautiously.
Nevertheless, the water and land docks, as well as the carriage and boat shops in Jiangnan, are likely to be thrown into chaos. As a result, the consumption of ordinary weapons will undoubtedly increase significantly."
Huang Fei blinked, his mind racing as he tried to process Yu Longsheng's words.
"Coincidentally, my Sword-Hiding Villa is in the business of selling weapons," Yu Longsheng continued. "The goods are transported from the Fen River into the Yellow River, then through the Grand Canal to the Jianghuai region, with smooth passage all the way. Along the route, we can also carry other ironware and various goods, and of course, there will be a commission for those who handle the distribution."
Huang Fei stared at Yu Longsheng, finally realizing that his Sword-Hiding Villa was not only a martial arts force but also a workshop and merchant. Apart from refining high-quality swords and blades, they also dealt in ordinary weapons and ironware.
"My purpose in coming here is actually to discuss business with the winner of tonight's battle," Yu Longsheng admitted. "But I was a bit anxious, so I took the liberty of coming without an invitation."
Yu Longsheng smiled, "However, I still hope that Hall Master Huang would emerge victorious. Fortunately, the outcome is as I expected. Not only will you be ranked high in the Sword Manual, but you have also earned the trust of Shangguan Jinhong. You truly are courageous and resourceful, killing Yang Dahuzi without even drawing your sword."
Huang Fei was not yet bewitched by Yu Longsheng's flattering words as he coldly replied, "You hoped that I would win?"
Yu Longsheng shrugged, "From the Yellow River to the Grand Canal and all the way to Jianghuai, many of the carriage and boat docks along the route are already under the control of the Money Gang."
Yu Longsheng raised his eyebrows at Huang Fei, "Hall Master Huang, if we can reach an agreement on this business deal, I wonder if you could further your influence within the Money Gang? I believe Hall Master Huang has already seen my longsword. If you can make this deal happen, I am willing to offer a finely crafted curved sword as a gift.
As for the silver tickets from Datong Money House, they will be delivered monthly by boat."
At this point, Yu Longsheng finally paused, brandishing the Yu Long Sword in his hand as he smiled, "So, Hall Master Huang, what do you say? Do you wish to cross swords with me or invite me to a meal?"
Huang Fei, "...'
