Chapter 9 Help

"Master Songhe misunderstood. I have no other intentions. I just want to ask everyone to help our Tiger Gang. I'm just afraid that everyone is unwilling to come, so I resorted to this desperate measure." Hu Zhensong's words were full of apology, as if he was really guilty about it.

Those present were all old martial artists, so they would not be fooled by Hu Zhensong's appearance. Master Songhe even sneered and said, "We are all martial artists. Why does the Tiger Gang leader have to do this? Just say it directly. Are you going to borrow our heads for use? Or are you going to let us be your pioneers and conquer the territory of Xiping Prefecture?"

After listening to the words of Taoist Songhe, Hu Zhensong suddenly laughed, and it took a long time for him to recover. He said, "It seems that Master Songhe really misunderstood this time. My Tiger Gang did ask you to help."

Hu Zhensong's explanation again made everyone wonder. If the Tiger Gang really wanted the territory of Xiping Prefecture, they should either persuade everyone to surrender or start a fight directly. Why shouldn't they be here to chat with everyone? Could it be that the Tiger Gang is really just looking for help? The Tiger Gang is so strong, what can they do for us?

Before they could speak, Hu Zhensong said again: "It is true that my Tiger Gang covets the territory of Xiping Prefecture, but if my Tiger Gang really intends to attack your Xiping Prefecture, we will definitely adopt the strategy of defeating you one by one, rather than gathering you together. But to be honest, if the True Man Songhe and Master Kongji here join hands, even if my Tiger Gang can finally win, at least two or three masters will be injured, and the gains will not outweigh the losses in the end."

Qingyang just thought so. Master Songhe and Master Kongji are no worse than any master of the Tiger Gang. If only one of them comes, the masters of the Tiger Gang will be exhausted to death, but if the two join forces, the Tiger Gang will have to pay a certain price. The Tiger Gang expands its territory for profit, so why would they be willing to do such a loss-making business of killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of themselves?

Hu Zhensong explained it very clearly, and everyone finally understood that the Tiger Gang was not trying to trick everyone into coming here in one fell swoop. Just now, the young disciple Qingyang of Master Songhe also made the same analysis. He did not expect that the Taoist priest was so insightful at such a young age.

Of course, the Jianghu people in Xiping Prefecture would not open up to Hu Zhensong just because of a few words from him. Qingyang's master Songhe said, "Then please tell me, Master Tiger, what kind of small favor is it that requires the Tiger Gang to mobilize so many troops?"

Hu Zhensong did not seem to hear the sarcasm in his words, and slowly said, "It's like this. My Tiger Gang recently discovered a secret place in Xiping Prefecture. We plan to go in and find out, but my Tiger Gang is short of manpower, and the secret place is quite dangerous, so we have to ask for help from the Jianghu people in Xiping Prefecture."

Secret place? In Xiping Prefecture? Qingyang couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The Tiger Gang had a long reach. They hadn't conquered Xiping Prefecture yet, but they had discovered a secret place in Xiping Prefecture. Even the people in Xiping Prefecture didn't know about it. Their thoughts and methods were really scary. It seemed that the fellows in Xiping Prefecture were in trouble.

Moreover, it was not known whether the secret place mentioned by Hu Zhensong was true or false. If it was just a trap carefully designed by the Tiger Gang to trick everyone into a desperate situation and then catch them all in one fell swoop, then there would be no one to cry out to.

Taking a step back, even if the secret place was real, Hu Zhensong sincerely asked everyone to help, but a place that made a big gang like the Tiger Gang feel dangerous would be a life-or-death situation, and it was very likely that they would lose their lives there.

Taking a step back, the secret place was real. God bless everyone to escape from the secret place safely, but what about the character of the Tiger Gang? Would they let everyone go easily? If they got something important from it, it was hard to guarantee that the Tiger Gang would not kill them to silence them. No matter how you think about it, this is a losing deal. Not only will you lose money, you may even lose your life.

Qingyang was not the only one who thought of this, but the others also knew it clearly. Anyway, no one present was willing to go, but considering the current situation, no one dared to refuse, but kept calculating the gains and losses.

Hu Zhensong seemed to know that everyone would not agree easily, and said: "My Tiger Gang will not let you work in vain. After the matter is done, everyone present will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver. With this money, you will not have to worry about the rest of your life."

The Tiger Gang masters around were intimidating, and the silver was an inducement. The Tiger Gang also used all means. The silver is indeed a lot, but you have to be alive to take it. The more money you give, the more dangerous this matter is. It is better not to go if you can.

Qian Banxian saw that Hu Zhensong's attitude was not as overbearing as the legend said, so he tried to say, "Boss Tiger, I, Qian Banxian, am just a fortune teller with a stall, and my kung fu skills are mediocre. There are so many masters here, and I am no more or less. I will not go to this secret place." Hu Zhensong stared at Qian Banxian expressionlessly, which frightened him so much that he almost wet his pants, and then he said, "You don't want to go?" The words were out, so Qian Banxian had to bite the bullet and said, "Yes, I, Qian Banxian, have low skills. I am worried that I will ruin the big things of the Tiger Gang, so it's better not to go." Hu Zhensong smiled slightly and said, "It's okay not to go." "Then I'm leaving, I really want to leave!" Qian Banxian said tentatively.

Seeing that Hu Zhensong did not stop him and seemed to not mind him leaving at all, Qian Banxian finally felt relieved and walked forward.

When Du Chengjin saw that Hu Zhensong agreed to Qian Banxian, he immediately regretted it. If he had known that the Tiger Gang was so easy to talk to, he would have spoken first. Now that the Tiger Gang leader has agreed to Qian Banxian, he didn't know if he would be the second to withdraw.

At this time, Qian Banxian had just passed Hu Zhensong and was about to use his body skills to escape from this ominous place, when he saw a figure suddenly flash by and slapped his back with a palm.

The one who made the move was the black-clad man next to Hu Zhensong. Although Qian Banxian had been prepared for him, the gap in strength between the two was too big, and he finally failed to dodge the palm. Qian Banxian was hit hard by this blow, just like a kite with a broken string, flying two or three feet away, and then rolled forward several times, lying on the ground, his life or death unknown.

Du Chengjinang was about to open his mouth to speak, but he saw this scene in front of him. He was so scared that he shivered, and suddenly a large area between his legs was wet. Fortunately, he did not speak, otherwise Qian Banxian would be a lesson for him.

Others were also shocked by this scene. Qingyang did not expect that the Tiger Gang would start fighting without any warning. The power of this palm was so huge that even Master Songhe and Master Kongji did not dare to resist it. Qian Banxian was probably in danger this time.
