Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own, especially among a group of people in this world.
Everyone wants to be like the three sworn brothers of the Peach Garden Oath, but most are not even as good as the incense burner of Wagang.
The same is true of the current Thirty-Six Great Bandits. Although on the surface they are brothers and prioritize loyalty, they are actually subtly divided into two camps.
One was naturally one of the trusted subordinates of Tianwang Zuoyuan, and the other was one of the former trusted subordinates of Chu Tianfang.
These people harbored some hidden resentment towards Zuo Yuan and his men.
Because the foundation of the Thirty-Six Great Bandits should originally belong to Chu Tianfang; they are the true masters.
Now, Zuo Yuan has turned the tables, and Yunding Mountain Stronghold is gone, leaving only the Thirty-Six Great Bandits.
Moreover, in their view, Chu Tianfang was also killed by Zuo Yuan.
If it weren't for Zuo Yuan and his group, Chu Tianfang wouldn't have died at the hands of Zuo Yuan's enemies, and Yunding Mountain Stronghold wouldn't have fought to the death with that major martial arts sect, ultimately suffering heavy losses.
Initially, there were even some conspiracy theories that Zuo Yuan deliberately killed Chu Tianfang in order to seize the foundation of Yunding Mountain Village.
Later, he deliberately provoked the emotions of the old people in Yunding Mountain Village, making them fight to the death with that powerful martial arts sect, ultimately resulting in heavy losses.
Of course, this was just a rumor from the first few years. Zuo Yuan treated the old folks of Yunding Mountain Village quite well, and even gave them preferential treatment.
Moreover, as Zuo Yuan's power and influence grew, no one talked about this anymore.
Meanwhile, Zuo Yuan's trusted brothers were also somewhat dissatisfied.
Your boss is dead, and it was my brother who risked his life to avenge him.
The previous Yunding Mountain stronghold was nothing!
The Thirty-Six Great Bandits became famous entirely because of my brother's strength and methods, especially after discovering the secret treasure and being willing to share a portion with you. Yet you were still secretly grumbling and complaining, you are simply ungrateful.
In short, although the sworn brotherhood of the thirty-six bandits seemed to be based on loyalty, there were actually two voices within the group.
Currently, the vast majority of the thirty-six bandits are Zuo Yuan's trusted brothers. Only six people belong to the lineage of Chu Tianfang from the former Yunding Mountain stronghold, among whom the strongest is Wei Lingyun, the third-ranked "Reincarnated Thunder God".
Only two people accompanied the attack on the capital this time: "Beast Tamer" Chu Qiu and "Ghost Face" Huang Qi.
The two men were drinking and chatting inside a tent.
They were subtly ostracized among the thirty-six major bandits, and they also habitually formed a small group.
On the surface, they maintain a superficial relationship, but in private, they avoid all contact.
"Hey Lao Huang, do you think we can take the capital this time? It's the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after all. I don't really have a good feeling about it."
Chu Qiu looked relatively young, around thirty years old, with a handsome face and a very dignified appearance.
The man opposite him, Huang Qi, was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a sleazy appearance, a thin build, and yellow teeth, which contrasted sharply with him.
Huang Qi took a sip of wine and sneered, "Can we take it down? What a load of rubbish! It's just a show. Besides, even if we could take the capital, would the boss still be able to become emperor?"
Among the thirty-six bandits, those who call Zuo Yuan "brother" are definitely Zuo Yuan's trusted brothers.
The one who addressed him as "Big Boss" was an old man left behind by Chu Tianfang.
Huang Qi continued, "To put it bluntly, we shouldn't have come this time."
The Great Zhou Dynasty hasn't collapsed yet. If our Thirty-Six Great Bandits want to expand, it's best to wait until the Great Zhou Dynasty collapses on its own before making a move.
When the time comes, we'll carve out our own territory, build high walls, stockpile grain, and delay declaring ourselves kings, slowly developing our strength. Who will care about us, these giant bandits?
The leader was put on the spot and had no choice but to take action.
When Chu Tianfa's leader died, he personally said that whoever killed his brother, he would kill them without regard for the consequences. Only in this way did he win the hearts of the entire Yunding Mountain stronghold.
It's been three years since Tong Bao and the others died, but the leader still hasn't taken revenge. His brothers are starting to complain, and he can't delay any longer.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take action this time; otherwise, wouldn't his reputation for unparalleled loyalty and righteousness be ruined?
Huang Qi said this with a hint of sarcasm.
After all, in his view, Zuo Yuan was just seeking fame and fortune by making such a vow.
Now look what's happened; they've put themselves in that predicament too.
Just as Chu Qiu was about to say something, he suddenly twitched his nose, and a black light flashed around him. A hunting dog made entirely of black energy appeared in the tent and began barking wildly at a certain spot.
"Who's there! Show yourself!"
"Your dog nose is quite useful. And I didn't expect that there are some sensible people among your thirty-six great bandits who can see the current situation of the world very clearly."
Yang Cheng appeared in the tent, looking relaxed and carefree.
Despite his weasel-like appearance and sleazy demeanor, Huang Qi has a remarkably clear vision.
If it weren't for Yang Cheng, after the Great Zhou Dynasty slowly disintegrated, the Thirty-Six Great Bandits could have truly carved out their own territories, gradually increased their power, and then competed for the world.
Unfortunately, with Yang Cheng now in the picture, the plot of the Great Zhou world may not change in any way.
"Yang Cheng!"
Chu Qiu and Huang Qi were both startled.
They never expected that this Grand Commander of the Zhenwu Hall would be so arrogant as to dare to sneak into their camp alone.
The next moment, Chu Qiu reacted, and the black hunting dog turned into lightning and rushed straight at Yang Cheng.
His nickname is Beast Tamer, but he doesn't actually control wild beasts. Instead, he controls the power of various exotic beasts and also possesses some of their power himself.
