Chapter 4199 4201【Yagyu Tajima Mamoru】
After leaving Dongchang, Xiang Nanyu sent Feijian to the Giant Whale Gang.
The reason why he went there was to secretly help Shangguan Haitang and Duan Tianya. Because this time they have to face the two masters Yagyu Tajima Mamoru and Yagyu Piaoxu.
Yagyu Taimamori is stronger than Duan Tianya. His Killing God Slash, Snow Floating World, Bone-Shattering Palm, etc. are all very powerful killing moves, and they are hard to guard against. And Liu Shengpiaoxu also has 90% of his strength, and he is 100% sure against Shangguan Haitang.
If Liu Shengpiaoxu didn't fall in love with Duan Tianya and turned against him, then the two of them were destined to fail in this mission. When the time comes, the only outcome will be death.
And the reason why the **** sent them even though he knew they were bound to die was also very simple.
Haitang, Duan Tianya, and Guihai Yidao are nominally the secret agents of Heaven, Earth, and Xuan Da. They sound glorious, but in fact they are just tools for the gods.
They just died, and God didn't feel sorry for them.
On the one hand, he is a sinister, hypocritical, and ruthless person. He doesn't care about anyone except Su Xin.
On the one hand, many years ago, he invited the Four Ghosts of Western Hunan to train the Thirty-six Tiangang, the Seventy-two Disha, and one hundred and eight dead men in Qingcheng Mountain. So it didn't matter to him that the three secret agents were dead.
Moreover, their death can even gain more impression points for the god.
After all, his adopted son and daughter were both dead, how much more demanding could the emperor be on him? At that time, not only will Hulong Villa not be disbanded, but Shenhou will even be greatly compensated.
This is the balance of politics.
Cao Zhengchun thought that after the one-month period, the emperor would really disband Hulong Villa. He was really naive and ridiculous.
Therefore, the sacrifice of Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang is completely acceptable to Shenhou.
But for Xiang Nan, it is completely unacceptable.
So in order to prevent Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang from being sacrificed, he must go to the giant whale to help.
However, he did not follow the order this time, so he could only act secretly.
Fortunately, God assigned him a task and asked him to find Cheng Shifei, so in a short period of time, he would not be discovered by anyone.
…
Xiang Nan rode the flying sword much faster than Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang.
It didn't take him even an hour to reach the Giant Whale Gang in Minzhou.
It took Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang three days of traveling under starry nights to finally reach Minzhou.
Therefore Xiang Nan is much faster than them.
It's simply different.
After Xiang Nan arrived at the Giant Whale Gang in advance, he quickly found out the details of the Giant Whale Gang.
The Giant Whale Gang was founded by the grandfather of the current gang leader Li Zhengkai. Back then, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, transport military supplies and soldiers, and also helped him defeat Chen Youliang, the king of Han, in the Battle of Poyang Lake.
Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he also granted rewards to the Giant Whale Gang, which caused the Giant Whale Gang to rapidly grow in power and establish a good relationship with the court.
The Giant Whale Gang not only sent people to work with the imperial navy to fight against pirates at sea, but also helped the imperial court open warehouses to store grain, donate doctors and medicines, and provide relief to victims.
It can be said that in Minzhou, the status and reputation of the Giant Whale Gang are extremely high, and they are deeply loved by the people of Li.
The Giant Whale Gang was passed down to Li Zhengkai's generation. Li Zhengkai is elegant and good at writing, poetry and poetry, but he is not enthusiastic about the organization and management of the gang. Therefore, he has lost power and most of the affairs of the gang are taken care of by deputy gang leader Li Fangen and elder Li Tianhao.
In addition, the coal, salt, iron, and rice businesses of the Giant Whale Gang are managed by the Ling family, the Dong family, and the Yan family respectively. They have a complementary relationship with the Giant Whale Gang.
They make money with the protection of the Giant Whale Gang, and the Giant Whale Gang takes commission from their business. They have cooperated with each other for hundreds of years, and they can be considered peaceful.
However, elder Li Tianhao was not satisfied with this.
He believes that the Giant Whale Gang should no longer stand with the imperial court, open warehouses to store grain, donate doctors and medicines, and provide relief to the victims, and they should not leave so many profitable businesses to outsiders.
He wanted to monopolize power and interests, so he secretly colluded with Yagyu Tajima Mamoru and Tetan Shenhou to seize Li Zhengkai's position as gang leader.
When the time comes, he will not only have all the power, but also have the power to follow the dragon.
In this way, he can exclusively enjoy the trade route from Fuso to Dongtu, and the profit will be more than one million.
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru and Tedan Shenhou also took a fancy to the strength of the Giant Whale Gang, so they were willing to support him behind the scenes.
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru is the head of the Yagyu Shinin Sect, and his attainments in swordsmanship are only slightly inferior to those of Mukaku Shiro who created the phantom sword.
In order to expand their own power and let the Shinin sect continue its long history, the Yagyu family has always been loyal to General Tokugawa, hoping to develop and grow with the support of the general.
That's why, under the dispatch of General Tokugawa, he came to China to help Lord Tietan.
"Three years ago, Yagyu Tajima Mamoru came to the Giant Whale Gang, which shows that there has been collusion between them." Xiang Nan analyzed the information found at all.
He then sneaked into the compound where Yagyu Tajima Mamoru was staying.
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru has been with the Whale Gang for three years, and as a guest minister and instructor, he helped train the guards of the Whale Gang. But in fact, they were training dead soldiers for Li Tianhao to help him take over the Whale Gang in the future.
As a guest and instructor, he naturally has his own courtyard.
The courtyard is not very big, but it is decorated in a fusang style, with not only a meandering water cup, but also frightening deer, stone lanterns and paper cranes.
After Xiang Nan sneaked in, he saw Yagyu Tajima Shouzheng talking to his disciples.
"I have received news that Prince Narira and Matsuyu Takanobu failed to assassinate the emperor and have died for their country." Yagyu Tajima Mamoru said to his disciples, "And the imperial court has also sent Ouchi spies here, and they will arrive soon. Minzhou, you must be prepared.”
"Yes." All the disciples said in unison.
"Father, which Ouchi spy has been sent by the imperial court?" a very beautiful girl asked.
Xiang Nan knew that she was Liu Shengpiaoxu.
"Tianzi Dauchi secret agent Duan Tianya, Xuanzi Dauchi spy Shangguan Haitang." Yagyu Tajima Mamoru gritted his teeth.
"It's him?!" Liu Shengpiaoxu said in surprise.
"That's right." Yagyu Tajimamomo nodded, "Piaoxu, the chance for revenge has come! It's all up to you as a father!"
The rules of the Yagyu family are to avenge father and son, brother and sister.
When Duan Tianya went to Fuso to learn ninjutsu, he killed Yagyu Tajimamoru's son Yagyu Jubei.
Although Yagyu Taimashou is superior in martial arts, due to the rules of the Yagyu family, the father cannot avenge his son and can only rely on his daughter.
The eldest daughter Yagyu Yuki fell in love with Duan Tianya and couldn't bear to do anything, so now she can only watch the second daughter Yagyu Piaoxu.
"Daughter, I obey." Liu Shengpiaoxu agreed, but there was no murderous look in his eyes, but a hint of emotion.
