Yang Zhou City, Heaven and Earth Union branch.
Honghua Hall's Li Shikai sat at the head of the table, with Vice Hall Master Li Zhi and Du Peng standing beside him.
Next was the Yangzhou branch leader, Li Yuehong, the lady boss of Delightful Fragrance Courtyard, commonly known as the Madam.
There were also some people in charge of the Heaven and Earth Society in Yangzhou.
"The Chief sent a letter saying that the dog Obai is heading straight for Yangzhou with hundreds of yellow banners.”Li Shikai frowned and looked at everyone with a worried expression."Today, I have gathered everyone here to discuss what we should do next.”
"Chief, what do you mean?" Li Zhi muttered.
"The Chief wants us to hide and avoid the enemy's attack. We don't have to pay attention to that dog Obai.”Li Shikai said in a deep voice, his face full of unwillingness,"But I don't want to let go of such an opportunity. I want to fight Ao Bai.”
Du Peng, who hadn't said anything, frowned when he heard Li Shikai's words. He said with a worried look in his eyes,""Hall Master Li, do you know that the people of Honghua Hall and Yangzhou Branch are not even enough to deal with Ao Bai? Besides, the Chief is not here, so no one is a match for Ao Bai. Your arrangement is sending our brothers to their deaths. I don't agree with attacking Ao Bai. I think we should listen to the Chief and hide.”
"I think you're just afraid of death!" Li Zhi curled his lips and said mockingly," A real man should be indomitable. We should put life and death aside."”
"Li Zhi, don't slander me. From the day I joined the Heaven and Earth Society, I've put life and death aside.”Du Peng's tiger eyes glared, and his face was filled with anger.""I just don't want our brothers to die in vain.”
"You're just afraid of Ao Bai's martial arts. You make it sound so dignified, but to put it bluntly, you're just afraid of death.”Li Zhi looked at Du Peng with disdain and said in a clear voice,""If you're afraid of death, you don't have to go. I'll personally lead my men to attack Ao Bai. You can hide here and be a cowardly rat!”
"Mother Xi Pi, Li Zhi, don't speak so highly of yourself. Don't you just want to make some contributions so that you can take over Honghua Hall after Hall Master Li retires?”Du Peng stared at Li Zhi with wide eyes and retorted disdainfully,""Don't make yourself sound so great. Everyone knows what you're thinking.”
"Du Peng, you're slandering me.”Li Zhi's face instantly turned red and his neck turned thick. He was about to step forward and beat Du Peng up.
Of course, Du Peng wouldn't sit still and wait for his death. He also got up and went to meet him.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the room became arrogant and ingenious.
The others saw that things were not looking good. The two of them were about to fight, so they immediately stood up and pulled the two of them back.
"Shut up and go back to your seats. This old man is not dead yet, so it's not up to you to make decisions in Honghua Hall.”Li Shikai slapped the table, causing tea to splatter everywhere. He roared angrily,"Get back to your seats."
Li Zhi and Du Peng returned to their seats helplessly. They looked at each other, neither of them willing to submit to the other. They winked at each other.
"Du Peng's analysis is not without reason. None of us here are Ao Bai's match. Moreover, he has the Eight Banners Thirteen Eagles and hundreds of Eight Banners disciples by his side.”Li Shikai frowned and said in a melancholic voice.
"Hall Master, perhaps we can't go against Ao Bai, but there's one person who might be able to do something.”Li Yuehong said softly.
"Yuehong, tell me quickly, who is it?”Li Shikai's lowered eyes instantly lit up. He looked up excitedly at Li Yuehong.
"Yangzhou's Prefect, Pan Juhua." Li Yuehong said coldly with a ferocious expression,"According to our spies in the Prefect's Yamen, Yangzhou Prefect Pan Juhua is already on his way back from the capital. We can attack him and give Oboi a show of strength.”
Li Shikai's eyes lit up, and his pupils dilated."It's true now."
"It's absolutely true, but it's still a bit troublesome. This time, not only are there people from the magistrate's office, but there are also 200 men with Yellow Bordered Flags.”Li Yuehong frowned and said worriedly.
"That's fine. It's just two hundred Yellow Banners Tartars. As long as there are no Eight Banners and Thirteen Eagles, they're nothing to worry about.”Li Shikai said in a deep voice,"Send someone to find out which way they are going back to Yangzhou. We will ambush them and show Ao Bai that the Honghua Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society is not to be trifled with.”
"Yes."
Li Yuehong cupped her hands and left. After all, the purpose of running a brothel was to collect information. Although Li Yuehong was the branch leader of Yangzhou, she was also the intelligence department of Honghua Hall.
After Li Yuehong left, Li Shikai looked at Li Zhi and Du Peng.""I hope that you guys will put the big picture first and shake hands. This time, we will do something big to boost the prestige of Honghua Hall.”
"Yes, Hall Master."
Li Zhi and Du Peng stood up and shook hands to make peace. They looked like they would be best friends for life.
Honghua Hall began to move, preparing to bring Yangzhou Prefecture Magistrate Pan Juhua along.
Little did he know that everything was under Oboi's control.
