Bang bang bang…
"It's the second watch! Be careful with the candles!"
Late at night, the night watchman walked on the street beating gongs and drums.
He walked cautiously along the way, looking around, fearing that he would run into a hero who was out at night and get beheaded for discovering someone's business.
When he reached the north gate of the city, he suddenly stopped and carefully looked towards the gate.
"Wu Laoliu, why are you here to guard the city gate? Where's Xu Laohei?"
A large group of horsemen were blocked at the gate, and someone in the group shouted to the guards at the city gate.
Under the night sky, Wu Laoliu's expression looked somewhat solemn.
He turned around and whispered to his men, "Go to the headquarters and report to the leader. Tell him that Shen Xu is back and ask him to be ready."
After saying this, he turned around and looked at the team of carriages outside.
"Boss Shen, you're back."
He bent forward and held Shen Xu's mount.
Shen Xu had a gentle expression and asked softly, "Nothing serious happened in the gang, right?"
Wu Laoliu remained calm and flattered, "With Gang Leader Huang in charge, nothing can happen. Gang Leader, just rest assured."
"It's good that you are alright. Please let us go! We have been traveling all night and are exhausted."
Shen Xu nodded, glanced at the team, and spoke.
"I'll let you go right away." Wu Laoliu responded hurriedly.
After Wu Laoliu removed the obstacles at the city gate, the team slowly entered the city.
Wu Laoliu followed behind Shen Xu, helping to greet the convoy into the city, and said to Shen Xu:
"Boss, Boss Huang has issued an order for you to lead the caravan to the headquarters after you return."
"What does he want from me?"
Shen Xu frowned. It was so late and he wanted to go back to sleep, but it sounded like Huang Song had something urgent to talk to them about.
"I don't know about this little one. They didn't explain to me what it was about."
Wu Laoliu naturally would not say that this was actually his own decision, intending to lure Shen Xu and others to the headquarters and capture them all in one fell swoop.
"Okay, I get it. You guard your city gate! We'll go through on our own!"
Although Shen Xu had a gentle personality, he was a little annoyed at this moment. He was summoned for something late at night.
This doesn't give people a break.
"Don't worry, boss. I will arrange for someone to guard this place."
Wu Laoliu looked like he had everything on me.
Watching the convoy heading towards the headquarters, Wu Laoliu turned around and looked at his men.
At some point, the person who had gone to report the news had returned.
"Don't worry, Captain. I've already told Master Ah San the news. He said he would report it to the leader!"
When the man saw Wu Laoliu looking at him, he hurriedly reported.
Wu Laoliu nodded and called on everyone to continue defending the city.
The headquarters of the Red Fire Gang.
I don't know when the lights here were already on.
From time to time you can see people patrolling.
The convoy stopped at the entrance of the headquarters, and Shen Xu led his men into the headquarters.
"Boss, I feel something is wrong. There are more new faces in the gang today than familiar faces!"
While walking, someone suddenly spoke to Shen Xu in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xu carefully looked at the gang members around him.
When he took a look, he found that many of these people were indeed not familiar faces.
What's more, what made him feel uncomfortable was that he found that these people were secretly observing them.
It looked like a hunter secretly sizing up his prey.
Suddenly, Shen Xu's face froze and he abruptly signaled everyone to stop.
"Everyone be on guard!"
He ordered with a serious look on his face.
"Boss, what happened?"
The man who had been following Shen Xu asked.
"We've fallen into a trap!"
Shen Xu responded, then looked towards the headquarters hall, where someone was coming.
"Yanxiong?"
Under the candlelight, he could see clearly the appearance of the person coming.
However, compared with Yan Xiong's simple clothing in the past.
Yan Xiong's dress today is very different from the past.
Today, Yan Xiong's hair was combed meticulously, his clothes were gorgeous, and he wore a jade ring on his finger.
He looked very imposing.
"Deputy Gang Leader Shen!"
Coming closer, Yan Xiong greeted him with a smile.
"Where is Gang Leader Huang? Did you team up with the Three Wolf Gang to betray the gang leader?"
The reason why Shen Xu asked this was because he had seen a member of the Three Wolf Gang before.
So he immediately put his men on alert.
When he saw Yan Xiong at this time, the first thing he asked was whether he was joining forces with the Three Wolf Gang to rebel.
"Haha! What qualifications does the Three Wolf Gang have to cooperate with me
Shen Xu, let’s not beat around the bush, I’ll tell you the truth!
The Red Fire Gang now respects me as the leader, are you willing to surrender to me?"
Yan Xiong laughed loudly and then spoke out to persuade them to surrender.
In fact, Yan Xiong admired Shen Xu very much.
Just because Huang Song once saved his life, he has always been loyal to Huang Song.
Even though Huang Song was unfair and had a bad temper, he never left, but assisted Huang Song wholeheartedly.
The relationship between the two of them is just like that between Shangguan Jinhong and Jing Wuming in a novel in the previous life.
Huang Song is a low-profile version of Shangguan Jinhong, while Shen Xu is a low-profile version of Jing Wuming.
Yan Xiong generally values people who value friendship and loyalty, so he wants to recruit Shen Xu.
Of course, the reason for surrendering was also because Shen Xu himself was a very talented person.
"Respect you? Why?"
Shen Xu held the cold sword in his hand and looked at Yan Xiong with narrowed eyes.
"Because I am stronger than Huang Song, I am still alive, but he is dead!"
Yan Xiong said in a heavy voice.
"You know my character. Do you think it's possible to persuade me to surrender?"
Shen Xu suddenly smiled.
"How is it impossible? Sometimes, a person may not be able to stick to his own ideas. The relatives and friends around him can influence them!"
Yan Xiong also smiled suddenly.
However, his smile made Shen Xu's face gloomy.
"Are you going to threaten me?" He looked at Yan Xiong gloomily.
"Boss, why waste time talking to this traitor? Let's just kill them!"
"Yes, kill them! Kill them!"
"Please give the order, Boss,"
…
Before Yan Xiong could speak, many of Shen Xu's confidants behind him began to clamor.
In their eyes, Yan Xiong was still the young hall master who had not yet reached the rank. The reason why he was so arrogant was only because he had more people around him.
"Haha! Great, Deputy Gang Leader Shen's confidants are really passionate people. I like them!"
Yan Xiong smiled.
"Someone, please bring Miss Shen up."
He waved behind him.
"elder brother… "
Surrounded by many members of the Chihuo Gang, a girl of about sixteen or seventeen came slowly.
It is called "crowding", but in reality it is "custody".
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Chihuo Gang members around the girl all had their eyes on her, their hands tightly gripping their long swords.
If the girl made any movement, they would hack her with their swords without hesitation.
"Yan'er..." Shen Xu's face changed when he saw the girl, and he looked at Yan Xiong angrily.
"Yan Xiong, if you touch my sister, I will fight you to death!"
His tone became extremely cold at this moment, no longer as gentle as before.
