Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

He rubbed his eyes, feeling that the boat was still shaking and moving slowly, and with the darkness in front of him, he couldn't see the scene clearly, so he couldn't help asking the spies beside him, "Isn't it about your mouth? Why do I feel like we're still floating on the water?"

The spy smiled, and suddenly opened his voice and shouted: "Brothers of the Salt Gang, there is a guest here, light up the lamp..."

In an instant,

one

two,

three cups,

four,

Dozens of lanterns were hung high around and in front of the fishing boat. Visually, these lanterns were propped up by bamboo poles and hung in mid-air, illuminating Guo Ye's sight.

With a flash in front of his eyes, he finally understood why he felt that the boat was shaking and slowly moving forward, but the other party said that he had arrived at the place.

Dare to be honest, the entrance of the Salt Gang is so hidden, grandma's is actually located in the densely overgrown reeds.

Chapter 747

Guo Ye discovered that the fishing boat did not stop immediately after entering the reed marsh, but continued to move forward slowly. As for the place where dozens of lanterns were lit just now, it can only be regarded as the place where the Salt Gang set up on the outskirts of the reed marsh. checkpoint.According to the spies who punted the boat, it was specially set up to prevent the government army from searching here.

Next, although there was no light to guide the way, he found that these people seemed to be used to punting in the dark, advancing almost without hindrance.

He didn't know how far he had advanced in the reeds, but he felt that he had been turned into a daze, and he didn't know where he was going.

I don't know how long it has been turning around, and I don't know how big the reed sway is. The fishing boat made a muffled sound of collision as if it hit land, then shook twice, and seemed to stop.

Several spies put away their poles one after another and jumped ashore one after another. One of the spies who chatted with Guo Ye before helped him up and said, "My guest, we are here, please come ashore with me."

Guo Ye stood up from the boat with some discomfort, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that we have already left the reed marsh?"

The spy helped Guo Ye ashore, stomped the ground with his feet, and said with a smile: "This is just a small island in the reeds, and our entrance is here. Hehe, ordinary people Even if we find this reed marsh in Yangzhou waters, it is impossible to find this island in the reed marsh.”

Islands among the reeds?

When Guo Ye heard about it, he couldn't help thinking of the Jiangxin Island he found on the Minjiang River when he formed the Cao Gang that day.

Both should be similar, there are similarities but the same effect.

After landing on the shore, two men carrying lanterns walked towards them and shouted loudly: "Why do you guys bring strangers up to the entrance of the hall? Did you forget the rules of the Salt Gang and what the Law Enforcement Hall is?"

Several spies hurried up to greet them and explained everything, and then explained how Guo Ye found their fishing boat, how to give the joint code and other things, and explained the purpose of coming for Guo Ye.

Obviously, these two men carrying lanterns should be from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Salt Gang, otherwise these spies would not be so afraid.

After listening to the explanations of several spies, the expressions of the two law enforcement hall men improved slightly. They took a lantern and shone on Guo Ye's face a few times, and then said, "Since they are friends of our Salt Gang, it's okay. Our Chen The leader of the gang is discussing matters with deputy leader Ruan and several hall leaders in the Juyi hall, so you can go with us first."

After finishing speaking, without a word, he pulled the lamp in front of him like [-] yuan to light the road, left behind a few spies who worked hard to lead the way, and led Guo Ye towards the Juyi hall.

After walking about a long and rough and steep road with thorns, Guo Ye was brought to a place.

The terrain of this place is flat and there are many houses. There are patrols of five people and ten people holding torches everywhere. This place should be the place where the Salt Gang lived on the island.

Seeing Guo Ye brought into a wooden house, one of the men from the Law Enforcement Hall said, "You wait here, and I will inform our leader right away."

As he said that, he asked another man to keep an eye on Guo Ye, so as not to let him run around.

All the way to the present, Guo Ye has figured it out. The members of the Salt Gang are quite alert, and the division of labor is also very detailed, and the gang rules and ranks are also strict.

But the more this is the case, the greater his expectations for the Salt Gang. Only such strength can help him fight against the Zhang family in Yangzhou.

Seeing that the man was going to inform Chen Lang, Guo Ye suddenly stopped him and shouted, "Wait a minute, brother, please hand these two letters of mine to Chief Chen. After he read the letter, he You know what I'm here for."

As he spoke, he took out two letters from his pocket and handed them to the other party.

The man also took the letter and left without further questioning.

Of these two letters, one was written by Su Dingfang to Chen Lang, and the other was written by Guo Ye himself. In addition to introducing his identity, background and origin, the letter explained more about his future. Fanlaiyan Gang asked Chen Lang to be the captain of Zhechong.

Just as Su Dingfang reminded him before, only by fighting against Chen Lang and pulling him to the united front can he persuade the other party.

At this time, the night was dark, and he sat bored in the wooden house listening to the chirping of insects, frogs and crickets outside.

After a long time, the man who went to report the letter hadn't come back. Guo Ye couldn't help but glanced at the other man who was watching him in the wooden house, and asked: "Brother, it's getting so late, you gang leader Chen and that man Ruan, oh yes, what is Vice-Clan Leader Ruan discussing?"

The man yawned, and blurted out: "What else can there be? It's nothing more than two clan leaders arguing about the Zhang family in Yangzhou, otherwise they wouldn't have summoned the other clan leaders one by one at such a late hour." .Hey, our Vice-Clan Leader Ruan, what the hell... Huh? Why are you asking this?"

Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly lowered his face, looked at Guo Ye with hostility, and shouted: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, this is a secret in our gang, how can you tell it to an outsider?"

Guo Ye sneered twice, murmured his apology twice, and then stopped talking.

However, he probably also sensed that the smell was coming. He dared to say that the top leader and the second leader of the Salt Gang had different opinions on the attitude towards the Zhang family in Yangzhou.Doesn't that vice leader Ruan want to be an enemy of the Zhang family?Grandma, this is not a good sign. If the Salt Gang doesn't fight the Zhang family in Yangzhou, how can I ask Chen Lang to come out and work for me?

Inappropriate or inappropriate, we have to figure out how to deal with it as soon as possible.

In a single thought, countless ideas flashed through his mind, and he fell into silence without making a sound.

Time passed slowly, and the person in charge of guarding him was so sleepy that he fell asleep...

Another hour passed.

squeak~

The door of the wooden house was pushed open, and it was the man who reported the message who came back.

The dozing man almost woke up and lay on the ground, while Guo Ye slowly got up and looked at him and asked, "Have you finished discussing the matter with your vice-guildmaster Chen and the several hallmasters?"

The man who reported the letter shook his head and said: "No, but the leader Chen and deputy leader Ruan both read your letter. I don't know what you wrote in the letter. The two leaders had a quarrel in the Juyi hall in front of the hall leaders. My God. By the way, our leader Chen invites you to go to the Juyi hall."

After listening to Guo Ye, he became more and more sure that the Salt Gang was not monolithic as imagined.

In particular, the Deputy Gang Leader Ruan might really become an obstacle for him to invite Chen Lang out of the mountain and win over the Salt Gang to work for him.

Forget it, after meeting Chen Lang in the Juyi Hall, let's adapt accordingly.

Under the leadership of the messenger man, he left the wooden house and went to the Juyi Hall.

It didn't take long to arrive at the place. Compared with the vast night outside, the Juyi Hall was really bright with fire at this time.

But as soon as he came in, he felt a strong smell of gunpowder, especially a sharp gaze was covering him, revealing naked hostility.

He turned his head and found that this gaze came from a man sitting in the top seat on the left row of Juyi Hall.

This man was about 30 years old, wearing a white robe, with no beard on his cheeks, he looked gentle and elegant, but he exuded a cold aura.Guo Ye's first impression was that this person was insidious and cunning, and belonged to the type of stabbing a knife in the back.

Since he was sitting in the top spot on the left side of the hall, he must be the vice leader Ruan of the Salt Gang.
