Fish swimming around the world

After a moment of hesitation, Huang Sanqi apologized and wrote a letter to Cao Zijian. The general idea was that the Huanglong Gang was a gang in the underworld. If they rashly received the royal family of Wei, they would affect the reputation of the second prince. Therefore, the Huanglong Gang would set up a ceremonial guard and publicly meet the second prince on the river at the appointed time tomorrow morning.

His meaning was very clear. He did not want to meet privately. Although it sounded good, he was actually worried that Jiang Luo of Xia would become suspicious.

The appointed time was tomorrow morning, and there was still plenty of time. Therefore, Huang Sanqi temporarily put aside his worries and held a banquet to entertain the king rat.

To say that this king rat was indeed very strange, thin and hunchbacked, with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, at first glance, it really lived up to the name, like a big rat spirit, and at first glance, you would think that this person was scheming.

This face really made people feel awkward. But what he talked about not only did not make Huang Sanqi awkward, but also made him a little overjoyed.

The king rat came to form an alliance.

Jiang Fan's acceptance of the title means that he values ​​the strategic position of this fiefdom, so he is likely to accept it by force. Jile was also a little impatient. In order to take precautions, Jile claimed that he had sent envoys to the five countries and requested the five countries to boycott according to the neutrality agreement of that year. And he specially sent Wang Shu to meet Huang Sanqi, intending to establish an alliance on this matter and advance and retreat together.

Wang Shu also brought a heavy news that the prince Jiang had led 3,000 troops and marched towards Huangsha River with a ceremonial guard, which must be related to this matter.

While Huang Sanqi was shocked, Wang Shu also showed his sincerity and introduced the masters he brought, claiming that if Jiang Fan wanted to do something wrong, he could join forces with the Huanglong Gang to deal with it.

Huang Sanqi naturally expressed his gratitude, and even expressed great anger towards Jiang Xiaoyao. Although he thought that three thousand soldiers were nothing great, they represented the Qin military after all, and even represented the attitude of the empress. Obviously, she wanted this fief to belong to Qin, and then directly border the Wei State, but this area was too sensitive, and she certainly didn't want to show up herself, so she let this concubine come out to make trouble.

Since she had this idea, Huang Sanqi felt very uncomfortable. That was a tyrant who killed people everywhere at a disagreement. Although the Huanglong Gang was a powerful gang, it was only a scum compared to the Qin Iron Cavalry.

In common sense, Huang Sanqi could retreat, but unfortunately, Xuanhu Tianpu had a special reason not to give up. Around this place, the Huanglong Gang has been working hard for decades.

With the Jile City Alliance, Huang Sanqi felt much more at ease. But this was not enough. A more powerful ally was needed behind the scenes. In this place, Xia State obviously could not be relied on, and the most suitable one was Wei.

Wang Shu narrowed his eyes: "So, it's a bit of a coincidence that the Second Prince came here."

Huang Sanqi's heart moved: "What the Wang General Manager means is..."

Wang Shu grinned: "Qin wants this place and directly threatens Wei. Do you think the King of Wei will turn a blind eye?"

Huang Sanqi nodded slightly: "So, the King of Wei is also going to fight for us?"

"No, no." Wang Shu said: "It doesn't make much sense for the King of Wei to fight for us. After all, this place belongs to the King of Xiaoyao. In my opinion, the King of Wei only asks to maintain the status quo."

Huang Sanqi suddenly realized: "Yes, the King of Wei can't advance, but he can't retreat either, so this The second prince may become our helper. "

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If we cooperate, with the support of Wei, the empress will not be able to act openly. Jiang Xiaoyao's secret manipulation will not be enough."

Huang Sanqi slapped the table: "Okay, it seems that I have to meet this second prince."

Wang Shu's eyes flashed: "As a person in the paradise, it seems a little inconvenient. I will ask Huang Gang to deal with this matter."

Huang Sanqi laughed: "That's right. Thank you for coming today, General Manager Wang. You and I hit it off. Come, Huang will toast Brother Wang three cups!"

"Drink together, drink together..."

The two smiled at each other and drank three cups.

The next day, Huang Sanqi, who had settled Wang Shu and others, opened the water fort and set up a full ceremony to welcome the second prince. The two sides met formally on a large ship in the middle.

Cao Zijian wore a blue brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, a face as beautiful as a crown and eyes as bright as stars, and a smile at the corner of his lips that made people feel like spring breeze. Although he treated Huang Sanqi, a man of the underworld, without any airs.

Right from the start, he left a good impression on Huang Sanqi.

As for the Huanglong Gang Water Stronghold, Cao Zijian praised it highly, "Boss Huang has a good management, no wonder the Huanglong Gang is the leader in the Yangtze River."

"No, no," Huang Sanqi smiled modestly, "The Huanglong Gang has been traveling back and forth on the Wei State waterway for many years. Thanks to your country's care, the business has grown a little. Speaking of which, if Huang was not born in the grass and his identity was not awkward, he should have paid a visit to the King of Wei and His Royal Highness the Prince."

Cao Zijian said, "What are you talking about? Although the Huanglong Gang is a gang of the underworld, it has never been ambiguous about customs clearance and tax payment. The Wei State should provide convenience."

The atmosphere was good for the first meeting, and the two soon had a good chat.

After a brief greeting, Cao Zijian looked around, especially the magnificent Xuanhu Tianpu and praised, "The Huanglong Gang is a good place, it should be prosperous."

Huang Sanqi saw that the time had come, and just put down the tea cup and sighed.

"Why is Gang Leader Huang sighing?"

Huang Sanqi said, "Although this place is not a wealthy place, it is also a water stronghold that has been run by my Huanglong Gang for generations. However, it seems that it can no longer be preserved."

Cao Zijian actually got straight to the point: "Gang Leader Huang, are you talking about the imperial court's canonization?"

Seeing the other party speak frankly, Huang Sanqi did not beat around the bush: "It is for this reason that the regent of Qin is coming with his troops. He must be here to take over the fiefdom and expel us."

Cao Zijian was a little indignant when he heard this: "Everyone knows that Qin is a tiger and wolf. This is not Jiang Xiaoyao, it is clearly Ying Wushuang who is eyeing us covetously!"

Huang Sanqi's face was a little gloomy: "I know it well, but I can't do anything. Qin is powerful, how can the people of Huanglong Gang fight against the officials."

Cao Zijian slammed the table: "Boss Huang is wrong. When the five countries drew the border, this place was a neutral place. Ying Wushuang's move is basically an invasion. Can a strong country bully the people? I, Cao, am not talented, but I must speak out for this matter."

Huang Sanqi looked happy. Cao Zijian had made his attitude clear, and he said that he did it in his own name, obviously not wanting to involve Wei. But as long as he came forward, wouldn't it actually be Wei who came forward?

"Thank you for your righteous words, Huang is grateful."

Cao Zijian waved his hand: "Let's be frank. Ying Wushuang's expansion of territory is not good for our Wei Kingdom. My father is also very angry. If Huang Gang Leader has any response, I will help him with all my strength. I don't ask for anything else, just for the stability of the country. Cao Zijian's words are sincere. What do you think, Huang Gang Leader?"

Huang Sanqi hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists, with gratitude on his face: "Thank you very much, Your Highness. With the support of Wei Kingdom, Huang has the confidence to hold Jiang Xiaoyao."
