Chapter 216: Internal Secret Talks of the Black Tiger Gang
Seven days later, the grain supported by the wealthy families of Huangshan Town had long since been delivered to the headquarters of the Red Rainbow Hall.
At the main entrance, the disciples of the Red Rainbow Hall were distributing porridge to the refugees.
Zhu Gaoxu was in the main hall, discussing something with Bai Xinghuo.
By this time, the entire Red Rainbow Hall had been completely brought back under Bai Xinghuo's control, so he naturally no longer needed to feign illness.
"Yu Feipeng is currently hiding inside the Black Tiger Gang, not daring to show his face. Our people are everywhere at the city gates now; he certainly won't be able to run out."
"Right now, this Prince is busy with official business and has no time to deal with him. Besides, this Yu Feipeng originally came from the Red Rainbow Hall and is, furthermore, your disciple, Hall Master Bai. This matter should rightfully be handled by you."
As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu cast his gaze toward Bai Xinghuo.
Sensing Zhu Gaoxu's gaze,
Bai Xinghuo understood Zhu Gaoxu's meaning, nodded, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu rose and walked toward the outside.
Having walked only two steps, Zhu Gaoxu thought of something and stopped suddenly, then said without looking back: "In the pugilistic world of Huangshan Town, one voice is enough; this happens to be an opportunity."
After finishing, Zhu Gaoxu walked outside without looking back.
Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, Bai Xinghuo sat on his chair, stunned,
and only then did he grip the chair arms tightly to keep himself from collapsing.
The meaning of Zhu Gaoxu's words was very clear.
He not only wanted the Red Rainbow Hall to capture the escaped Yu Feipeng, but also to take this opportunity to wipe out the Black Tiger Gang, the other major faction in Huangshan Town.
And looking at his demeanor, he did not intend to intervene.
This immediately put Bai Xinghuo in a difficult position.
If he could have wiped out the Black Tiger Gang, he would have done so long ago; there would have been no need for Zhu Gaoxu to say anything.
The Black Tiger Gang had been established for quite some time; in truth, it had existed even longer than their Red Rainbow Hall.
Its foundation and strength were three parts greater than their Red Rainbow Hall.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he had first made a name for himself in the pugilistic world, causing the other side to be somewhat wary,
he would never have had the chance to establish a sect in front of them.
Therefore, the current Red Rainbow Hall was simply no match for the Black Tiger Gang.
But since Zhu Gaoxu had spoken, even if Bai Xinghuo was ten thousand times unwilling, he certainly had to do this job.
And it had to be done beautifully and cleanly.
This was the tyranny of the imperial court and the suppression of status.
Looking at his own old arms and legs, Bai Xinghuo decided to risk his old life.
Walking out of the courtyard, the corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth lifted slightly.
He naturally knew that Bai Xinghuo could certainly not wipe out the Black Tiger Gang on his own.
But he had to say it.
He wanted to let Bai Xinghuo know that he, this Prince, was not helping him just to have him act as a vase.
If his own people had to come forward to handle everything, then what was the use of him?
Furthermore, the Black Tiger Gang had been established for so many years; it still possessed some strength.
If the Embroidered Uniform Guards were to take action and one or two were injured or killed, wouldn't that break Zhu Gaoxu's heart?
Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu planned to first let Bai Xinghuo lead the Red Rainbow Hall to fight for their lives, and once things were nearly done, he would send people to finish it off.
As for if Bai Xinghuo intended to go through the motions without putting in the effort, he naturally still had ways to deal with him.
Clearly, an old fox like Bai Xinghuo also knew what was in Zhu Gaoxu's mind.
So this time, he really intended to take the field himself; no matter what, he had to handle the first thing Zhu Gaoxu had ordered beautifully.
And he would start first with that wicked disciple of his, Yu Feipeng.
On the other side, the interior of the Black Tiger Gang was already a tangled mess.
A group of the Black Tiger Gang's high-level members sat together, everyone silent, the atmosphere in the room incomparably oppressive for a time.
It was clearly not the first time everyone had faced this situation.
In fact, ever since Yu Feipeng had fled here, they had spent most of these seven days this way.
Yu Feipeng had arrived severely wounded and would say nothing when asked.
After sending people to inquire, everyone was shocked!
A Little Prince had come from the imperial court and was now going to help the Red Rainbow Hall.
When they first heard this, they clearly did not believe it.
This tiny Huangshan Town could hardly catch the eye of the imperial court, let alone the small pugilistic gangs within it.
But soon, they had no choice but to believe it.
Wealthy merchants who previously had dealings with the Black Tiger Gang suddenly cut off contact and stopped associating with them.
Gang disciples who could previously enter and leave the city at will were now being watched strictly, while others had no problem entering or leaving the city.
It was only the disciples of his Black Tiger Gang who could not even get close to the city gates now.
At that moment, they finally realized the severity of the situation.
Someone suggested handing over Yu Feipeng, at least to trade for peace.
They hoped that the Prince who had come from Jingcheng would calm his anger.
But this condition was rejected by the Black Tiger Gang's leader, Tu Dafu.
He did not state the reason for the refusal, but he risked his old life to suppress everyone's proposal.
He only said that unless it was an absolute last resort, Yu Feipeng could not be touched.
So for these past few days, they had been discussing how to break the current situation.
In truth, everyone was clear on this.
This situation could not be broken.
As time passed, it became increasingly dangerous.
Now they had already gathered all the disciples together, forbidding anyone from going out to cause trouble.
But this was clearly useless.
Over these past two days, there had been more and more unfamiliar faces passing by the entrance.
Clearly, the other side was about to lose their patience and make a move.
They were all clear on these truths.
But even though they knew it was useless, they still subconsciously wanted to gather together to discuss it.
