Save the Bachelor of Heaven

After leaving the East Factory, Xiang Nanyu used his flying sword to rush to the Giant Whale Gang.

The reason why he went there was to secretly help Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya. Because they were going to face two masters, Liu Sheng Tamon and Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

Liu Sheng Tamon is stronger than Duan Tianya. His killing god's sword, snow floating in the world, bone-breaking palm, etc. are all very powerful killing moves, and they are hard to defend against. Liu Sheng Piaoxu also has 90% of his strength, and it is also a sure thing to deal with Shangguan Haitang.

If Liu Sheng Piaoxu did not fall in love with Duan Tianya and turned against him, then the two of them would be doomed to fail in this mission. At that time, there would be only one way to die.

And the reason why Shen Hou knew that the two of them would die, but still sent them, is also very simple.

Haitang, Duan Tianya, and Gui Hai Yidao are nominally spies of Tian, ​​Di, and Xuan Da Nei. They sound glorious, but in fact they are just tools of Shen Hou.

They die, and Shen Hou does not feel sorry.

On the one hand, he was originally a sinister, hypocritical, and cold-blooded person. He didn't care about anyone except Su Xin.

On the other hand, he had asked the four ghosts of Xiangxi to train thirty-six Tiangang, seventy-two Disha, and one hundred and eight dead men in Qingcheng Mountain many years ago. So it didn't matter to him that the three spies died.

Moreover, their death could even win more impression points for Shen Hou.

After all, his adopted son and daughter were dead, so how much more could the emperor demand from him? At that time, not only would the Hulong Villa not be disbanded, but Shen Hou would even be given a great pension.

This is the balance of politics.

It was really naive and ridiculous for Cao Zhengchun to think that the emperor would really disband the Hulong Villa after the one-month deadline.

Therefore, the sacrifice of Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang was completely acceptable to Shen Hou.

But for Xiang Nan, it was completely unacceptable.

So in order to avoid Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang being sacrificed, he had to go to the Giant Whale Gang to help.

However, he did not follow orders this time, so he could only act in secret.

Fortunately, the God of War assigned him a task to find Cheng Shifei, so he would not be discovered if he slipped away in a short time.

…

Xiang Nan rode on a flying sword, and his speed was much faster than Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang.

It took him less than an hour to reach the Giant Whale Gang in Minzhou.

Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang took three days to travel day and night before they finally arrived in Minzhou.

Therefore, Xiang Nan was much faster than them.

It was simply incomparable.

After Xiang Nan arrived at the Giant Whale Gang in advance, he quickly found out the details of the Giant Whale Gang.

The Giant Whale Gang was founded by the grandfather of the current gang leader Li Zhengkai. He once helped Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to transport military rations and soldiers, and also helped him defeat Han Wang Chen Youliang in the Battle of Poyang Lake.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he also rewarded the Giant Whale Gang, which made the Giant Whale Gang grow rapidly and established a good relationship with the court.

The Giant Whale Gang not only sent people to fight pirates at sea together with the imperial navy, but also helped the imperial court to open warehouses to release grain, provide medical treatment and medicine, and provide relief to disaster victims.

It can be said that in Minzhou, the status and reputation of the Giant Whale Gang are extremely high, and they are deeply loved by the people.

…

The Giant Whale Gang was passed down to Li Zhengkai's generation.

Li Zhengkai was fond of writing, poetry and songs, and was not keen on the organization and management of the gang. Therefore, the power fell to others, and most of the gang affairs were handled by the deputy gang leader Li Fangen and the elder Li Tianhao.

In addition, the coal, salt, iron and rice businesses under the Giant Whale Gang were managed by the Ling family, the Dong family and the Yan family respectively. They and the Giant Whale Gang have a complementary relationship.

They make money with the protection of the Giant Whale Gang, and the Giant Whale Gang takes commissions from their business. They have cooperated with each other for a hundred years, and it can be said that they are at peace.

However, Elder Li Tianhao is not satisfied with this.

He believed that the Giant Whale Gang should no longer stand with the imperial court, open warehouses to release grain, provide medical aid, and provide relief to disaster victims, and should not hand over so many profitable businesses to outsiders.

He wanted to monopolize power and interests, so he secretly colluded with Yagyu Tajima no Kami and Tiedan Shenhou, and was determined to seize Li Zhengkai's position as the leader of the gang.

By then, he would not only monopolize power, but also have the merit of following the dragon.

In this way, he would be able to enjoy the trade route from Fuso to the East alone, and the profit would be more than a million.

Yagyu Tajima no Kami and Tiedan Shenhou also took a fancy to the strength of the Giant Whale Gang, so they were willing to support him behind the scenes.

Yagyu Tajima no Kami was the head of the Yagyu Shinin School, and his attainments in swordsmanship were only slightly inferior to Mian Kuang Shiro, who created the phantom sword.

In order to expand their own power and let the Shinin School pass on for a long time, the Yagyu family has always been loyal to the Tokugawa general, hoping to grow and develop under the support of the general.

That's why he came to the Middle Earth to help Tiedan Shenhou under the dispatch of General Tokugawa.

"Three years ago, Yagyu Tajima-no-kami came to the Giant Whale Gang, which shows that they had colluded with each other for a long time." Xiang Nan analyzed the information he had discovered.

He then sneaked into the courtyard where Yagyu Tajima-no-kami stayed.

Yagyu Tajima-no-kami came to the Giant Whale Gang for three years, helping to train the guards of the Giant Whale Gang as a guest and instructor. But in fact, it was to train Li Tianhao's death squad to help him take over the Giant Whale Gang in the future.

As a guest and instructor, he naturally has his own courtyard.

The small courtyard is not big, but it is decorated in a very Japanese style. There are not only Qushui Liushang, but also startled deer, stone lanterns and paper cranes.

After Xiang Nan sneaked in, he saw Yagyu Tajima-no-kami talking to his disciples.

"I have received news that Prince Chengliang and Songyong Longxin failed to assassinate the emperor and have died for their country." Liu Sheng Tadama Shou said to his disciples, "and the court has also sent a secret agent to come, and they will arrive in Minzhou soon. You must be prepared."

"Yes." All the disciples said in unison.

"Father, which secret agent did the court send?" A very beautiful girl asked.

Xiang Nan knew that she was Liu Sheng Piaoxu.

"Tian Zi Secret Agent Duan Tianya, Xuan Zi Secret Agent Shangguan Haitang." Liu Sheng Tadama Shou gritted his teeth and said.

"It's him?!" Liu Sheng Piaoxu said in surprise.

"Yes." Liu Sheng Tadama Shou nodded, "Piaoxu, the opportunity for revenge has come! It all depends on you!"

The rules of the Liu Sheng family are that the son avenges the father, and the sister avenges the brother.

When Duan Tianya went to Fuso to learn ninjutsu, he killed Liu Sheng Jubei, the son of Liu Sheng Tadama Shou.

Although Yagyu Tadama-no-Kami is better at martial arts than him, due to the rules of the Yagyu family, the father cannot avenge his son and can only rely on his daughter.

The eldest daughter Yagyu Yukiji fell in love with Duan Tianya and couldn't bear to kill him, so now he can only rely on the second daughter Yagyu Piaoxu.

"My daughter obeys your command." Yagyu Piaoxu agreed, but there was no murderous intent in her eyes, but some affection.
