"Boss Cheng, are you really not going to take a look at the camp on the island? Although you have brought the blueprints, seeing is believing..." Yang Qing asked carefully. It was true that after Cheng Xi and his party settled down in the side courtyard, they had not stepped out of the courtyard except to visit the patients, which made him a little restless.
Cheng Xi gently blew on the tea leaves in the cup and asked slowly, "Why? Are you worried that if I stay in the house, it will be inconvenient for others to assassinate me?"
Yang Qing was so frightened that he quickly stood up: "Boss Cheng, I didn't mean that..."
Cheng Xi sneered: "Alright, since your gang leader has mentioned it, I naturally have an idea in my mind. However, since I have already taken the risk, I have the final say on how to proceed."
Yang Qing's head started to hurt. The boss had indeed mentioned spies and possible assassins before, and even seemed to want to take advantage of this matter.
The daughter of General Qiu is a rather sensitive topic even on Jinshan Island. When the group of rebels rebelled before, they also talked about this. They claimed that it was because the boss had an affair with Qiu Sheng's daughter that they had to rebel.
Now that everyone is here, if they really take the opportunity to kill her, the reinforcements from the Red Flag Gang will have to fight with the Green Phoenix Gang first.
Therefore, the more he exaggerated the close relationship between the boss and Gang Leader Cheng, and acted as if General Qiu's daughter could also lead troops, the more restless those spies would become.
Only by luring the snake out of its hole and eradicating the roots can we truly take the initiative and win the hearts of the people.
By then, the thieves far away in Longhusha will be unable to sit still, and the set tactics will be implemented naturally.
However, even if both sides are aware of the matter, the effects will be completely different depending on the circumstances.
Being assassinated in broad daylight, with spies monitoring and personal guards protecting him, it would be like catching a turtle in a jar, and there wouldn't be many mistakes.
But if he stayed in the room and didn't go out, he would have to carry out the assassination at night. Not to mention whether he could protect people's safety by killing and setting fire in the middle of the night, who would be responsible if a disturbance broke out in the camp?
After swallowing twice, Yang Qing said boldly, "Boss Cheng, the boss is doing this for your own good. We can solve the problem with just one performance, so why take the risk?"
Cheng Xi casually placed the teacup on the table and said leisurely, "I'm doing this for your own good. How many rats can you catch with a show? It's better to have a real fight and expose this cancer. Sharing a common hatred against a common enemy also requires an atmosphere. Just tell your gang leader so that he will agree."
Can the boss really agree? Faced with Cheng Xi's ruthless and tough attitude, even Yang Qing was speechless.
He knew better than anyone else what the leader of the Red Flag Gang had done.
When she was in Panyu City, she had even committed a nighttime prison break, so she probably didn't take a small assassination seriously.
But if this happens, the heavy burden will fall on their heads!
Feeling extremely miserable, Yang Qing didn't dare to raise any more objections and went to report to Shen Feng.
Cheng Xi was not in a hurry at all. Shen Feng always acted based on his own interests, especially when he was injured and had internal troubles, he wanted to use everything to the extreme.
However, she has no habit of revolving around others. If you want to cooperate, you must have a cooperative attitude and be less cunning.
Not long after, someone came to invite him in. It seemed that the other party had made up his mind. Cheng Xi smiled slightly, stood up and walked out the door.
…
The atmosphere on the island has been a little strange these past two days. Ever since the arrival of the female leader of the Red Flag Gang, all kinds of rumors have emerged.
Some say that Miss Qiu was bewitched by the gang leader and came back to protect her lover; others say that the Red Flag Gang is very ambitious and wants to take advantage of the gang leader's critical illness to swallow up the Green Phoenix Gang.
However, no matter how the story spread, few people had ever seen the appearance of that extraordinary woman with their own eyes, simply because she had not appeared in public in the past few days.
It was said that the gang leader was seriously ill, and she had no intention of going out. If she had not been afraid of damaging her reputation, she would have lived in the main house and taken care of the gang leader herself.
However, Chief Yang and several other big bosses have been visiting frequently these days, most likely planning something in secret. The more secretive they are, the more unsettling it becomes.
Some people even started to spread the rumor that a big boss was colluding with the Red Flag Gang and was trying to assassinate the gang leader.
In the fog, people's hearts naturally became more and more confused, until one night, there was a sudden cry of killing.
"It's this bitch who's dragging down the Qingfeng Gang!"
"Kill Qiu Sheng's daughter, and the leaders will surrender!"
"Don't let that temptress get away!"
The shouting startled countless people so much that they jumped up and rushed out the door without even having time to put on their clothes.
However, those shouts, just like when they came, quickly turned into screams, and were drowned out by the same roar of killing.
Standing on the street, one could only see the fire in the side courtyard where distinguished guests were received, casting a crimson shadow.
What on earth was going on? Countless people were confused, not knowing whether to put out the fire or, like the person who was shouting, pick up the blade to eradicate the witch and turn the tide.
However, someone soon broke this hesitation.
"Don't panic! The assassination attempt was carried out by spies, and they have all been killed! Those traitors are trying to sow discord between us and the Red Flag Gang, so don't be fooled!"
Leading a team of people, Yang Qing walked while shouting to calm people down.
This was indeed of some use, but the fire in the distance did not stop, and another sense of fear surged in my heart.
Did Gang Leader Cheng really escape? If she died tragically, wouldn't the Red Flag Gang's fleet immediately go to war? Could the Qingfeng Gang really hold out now? Was the leader dead or alive?
Countless speculations and countless worries surged in my heart, fanned by the night and the fire, making me more and more uneasy.
However, at this moment, someone shouted loudly: "Boss! The boss is coming out!"
The main door of the house, which had been closed for a long time, was finally opened. Shen Feng, dressed in green, walked out, escorted by his personal guards.
His complexion did not look good, his lips were pale, and one of his arms was hanging strangely in front of his chest, obviously his injury had not healed yet.
However, just seeing him show up made many members of the Qingfeng Gang cheer.
The gang leader was still able to walk without anyone's help, so the previous rumors were self-defeating.
The next moment, a group of people rushed out of the burning courtyard. The one walking in front was a woman in a red skirt, holding a shiny long knife with faint traces of blood on it.
Following behind her were a group of tall and strong guards, each of them holding a head, looking ferocious and ferocious, which made the woman in the lead look even more extraordinary and not to be underestimated.
One in green, one in red skirt, they met at the gate of the courtyard.
Shen Feng bowed slightly to the woman and said with a smile, "Thanks to Gang Leader Cheng risking his life, we were able to kill all the treacherous villains this time."
Cheng Xi wiped the blood off the knife, sheathed it, and put on the same business smile: "Boss Shen, you are being polite. It's just a small favor."
All the heads that were being carried were thrown on the ground, forming a small pile that completely suppressed the noise in the crowd.
Shen Feng turned around and faced the assembled gang members, announcing, "This was a plan planned by Gang Leader Cheng and me, solely to lure out the spies on the island and eradicate them completely. These evil thieves don't care about the lives of the people on the island. They just want us to fight the Red Flag Gang. However, Gang Leader Cheng and I are close friends, so how could we be provoked by these evil thieves? If anyone dares to attack the brothers of the Red Flag Gang again, I will destroy them to pieces!"
These words attracted more attention to the woman. She was very young and beautiful, but the blood-stained red dress, like her eyes and eyebrows, was stained with murderous intent and murderous aura, making people dare not look at her directly.
Facing everyone's gaze, Cheng Xi also spoke: "The Qingfeng Gang once saved the Red Flag Gang from danger. This time, I will not sit idly by and watch. Those bandits insulted my ancestors and even wanted to kill me. How can I forgive them?"
For the big guys on the sea, this was already a reason to fight to the death, and when Gang Leader Cheng said this, the two big gangs also had a common and firm goal.
Shen Feng extended her hand to her: "The Qingfeng Gang is willing to advance and retreat together with the Chiqi Gang to fight against the rebels."
Cheng Xi raised her hand and high-fived him openly: "The sun and the moon can bear witness to this, life and death are inseparable."
The fire was still not extinguished, and the dancing flames revealed two different yet very similar figures.
This scene seemed to be engraved in the hearts of the Qingfeng Gang members. All their fear and uneasiness were washed away by the surging heat and turned into ecstatic certainty.
This is the Red Flag Gang that can even defeat the imperial army. She is the daughter of General Qiu, who is invincible and can be called the God of War.
She is now standing in front of everyone, shaking hands with their gang leader and swearing an oath. What is there to be afraid of with just a mere bandit?
Some people cheered, and more and more people screamed loudly, inexplicably ecstatic.
Yes, their leader is very strong, and so is the leader of the Red Flag Gang. So what are the enemies?!
These cheers made Shen Feng breathe a sigh of relief.
He knew better than anyone else that his men were most accustomed to fighting when the wind was favorable, and today's "full-scale" performance was what dispelled the dejection of defeat.
And only she could come up with such a shocking scene, right?
However, he was still injured after all. As soon as he relaxed a little, Shen Feng felt his body sway and he almost lost his balance. A hand reached out in the nick of time and supported his body steadily.
The corners of Shen Feng's mouth couldn't help but curl up. He slightly turned sideways, almost leaning on the other person, and whispered in a low voice: "I'm too weak to support myself. Thank you for your help, Gang Leader Cheng."
This person definitely did it on purpose.
Cheng Xi glanced at him and replied with a half-smile: "Brother Chen, you'd better stand firm and don't get the reputation of being a ghost under the pomegranate skirt for nothing."
Shen Feng was startled and burst out laughing. She was not wearing a pomegranate skirt, but for this sentence, she had to live a little longer, otherwise wouldn't it be too much of a loss?
