  Chapter 155 Conspiracy Theorist

  "Is it a win-win situation? Ninth Master, I cannot agree." Mozi poured herself a cup of tea and ignored the sumptuous feast on the table because she had heard that the food in the temple was not clean. But as for the tea, Yuan Cheng was drinking it, and his complexion and eyes were normal, so it should be fine.

  "Mo Ge, this is not up to you, nor is it up to me." Although Mo Zi didn't accept his toast, Xiu Jiu finished the drink by himself.

  " Ninth Master, Zan Jin is my brother. He hurt your Eighth Master for my sake. You don't care about reason and only care about the rules of the gang. I can also prioritize emotions over your rules. Besides, your Eighth Master just fainted from a blow and didn't lose any limbs or have any holes in his body. What if he wakes up and nothing's wrong with him? Are you going to cut off his hands and feet again to make him whole?" She thought that Huo Ba was useless. If Huo Ba had such poor skills, Xu Jiu couldn't be much better, she doubted.

  "Come on, Ninth Master wants to dare to take action, you don't have to show mercy, use all the skills your grandfather and father taught you, if you can't beat them, it's just embarrassing for them, do you know or not?" Xu Jiu was unreasonable, she was also very aggressive. If Jianghu people must rely on force to solve problems, then fight, who is afraid of whom?

  "Alright!" Zan Jin loudly agreed, "I also don't want to humiliate Mo Ge. You, with the surname Xu, just point out a place and we'll have a fight. If I lose, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't bother Mo Ge; if you lose, for that despicable thing your brother Wang Ba did, you'll take his punishment instead. I'll break one of your arms, just like that."

  Mozi listened, her eyes narrowing with a smile. "Well said!" she exclaimed, feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction. Originally intending to avoid conflict, she now wanted to invite Xu Jiu to come out and compete with her immediately. As she progressed in her skills, the more she realized that she had mistakenly encountered a hidden master, whose emerald green sword remained unsheathed but had yet to meet its match.

  Xu Jiuyue was young, but he had been proud of his kung fu skills since he was a teenager. He couldn't tolerate the arrogance of Mozi and Zanjin, so without saying another word, he slapped Zanjin with a silent palm.

  Zan charged forward without saying a word, his luck was on his right fist, and he clashed head-on with Xu Jiu.

  Xu Jiu's hand closed around it and his whole body shook, his face turned even darker, full of astonishment.

  But Zan Jin smiled and didn't move a muscle.

  One palm doesn't count, Xu Jiu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, the second palm followed closely by the third chapter, the seemingly gentle and weak moves, but on the other side, that fat old brother changed his face.

  Still in control.

  Xu Jiu Yue's punches became faster and more furious, while Zan Jin's advances also became increasingly swift.

  A master makes a move, Mokuzi - can't understand it, but there's a stinky fish on her side, and its kung fu is quite impressive.

  "Xu Jiu's second palm is now using its full strength." He said this with a slightly solemn expression, "Most likely it's his famous move 'Leopard Emerging from Snowy Mountain'. Xu Jiu's kung fu is much stronger than Huo Wang Ba, I'm afraid I alone won't be his match. I wonder if Zan brothers can withstand it?"

  Although Mozi couldn't understand, he saw Zan's calm and composed expression and wasn't worried. "Who is the person sitting next to Xujiu?"

  She casually asked, and the stinky fish really came up with an answer. "This person should be Lu Man, the second master of Pingjiang Qiubang. Although I haven't seen him personally, it's said that he has no eyebrows, and a pair of water-splitting eyes are like poisonous snakes in the water, very ruthless."

  "What is the relationship between Lu Man and Xu Jiu?" Apart from being the leaders of the same faction.

  "The Leopard Gang is one of the five major gangs, although it's not part of the alliance, it's the boss of the upper reaches of the river, especially in recent years its power has expanded rapidly. Almost all small gangs in the two provinces within the upper reaches have surrendered to them, and they can already be compared to the scale of the Mackerel Gang's three laws and six halls. The Leopard Gang's followers are even more numerous than the Mackerel Gang. I've never heard that the two gangs had a relationship before, but rather the Mackerel Gang is similar to the Leopard Gang, both bosses have intentions to retire." Stinky Fish compared it to the semi-retired boatman's profession, speaking with great insight.

  Is the Leopard Gang a boat gang? The boat gang that leads many boatmen who make a living by the water? The slapping sound of Xu Jiu and Zan Jin's palms made Mozi slightly dizzy. Her Hong Yu shipyard hadn't moved, yet this had already offended the boat gang? If one were to name an aquatic-related gang after an animal, why choose the leopard? If they called themselves the Crocodile Gang, she might have been able to make a connection and tried to smooth things over.

  Her mind absorbed new information as she sipped her tea, the rim of the cup perfectly aligning Xu Jiu, Lu Man and Yuan Cheng in an arc, her eyes narrowing slightly.

  If Lu Man and Xu Jiu are fellow villagers who have deepened their feelings at Worry-Free Pavilion, why is Yuan Cheng sitting with them? It doesn't seem like they just met today and became bosom friends. Judging from their current interactions, Lu Man seems to be somewhat intimidated by Yuan Cheng, which suggests that they knew each other beforehand. Just now, Chou Yu said that the two gangs had no prior relationship, and although Xu Jiu and Lu Man were sitting together, when she walked in, not only did they not seem very familiar, but their eyes didn't even meet for long. So, the hypothesis that Yuan Cheng is the matchmaker of this banquet is quite plausible.

  Yuan Cheng was once the number one corrupt official. After becoming a prisoner, there were still batches of skilled jailbreakers, which can be seen that the family property was confiscated and the forces were not yet dispersed, and the remaining light continued to shine brightly.

  If we follow the first hypothesis, Mozi's second hypothesis is: both Bao Bang and Zhen Bang are in a period of transition between old and new. Lu Man is the second master, over 40 years old, and when the old master retires, he should be the next in line, but she sees that this person is worried and anxious, and doesn't have the joy of becoming the next leader. Looking at Xu Jiu again, above him there is a Huo Ba, although his prestige and martial arts are obviously higher than Huo Ba's, it's not necessarily certain that he will become the leader.

  She had heard that Xu Jiu was a chivalrous person, and Xu Jiu also said that he would not ask Lin Zhen Niang for the debt owed by Lin Da Lang. So Xu Jiu's character is still quite good. However, he used the excuse of avenging his brother to cause trouble for Zan Jin in public, which was actually very contradictory. But if——

  If Xu Ji is defined as a man with great ambition, then his behavior of openly flattering Wang Ba Ge can be explained. There is only one reason why he must gain the unreserved trust of Huo Ba: he has ulterior motives and wants to become the leader of the Leopard Gang. Therefore, he needs to first stabilize the internal situation.

  In other words, these two people may both want to be the boss, but coincidentally, they both have some uncertain futures. Yuan Cheng takes this opportunity to bring them together, letting them help each other and at the same time, he gets a good relationship out of it. With Yuan Cheng's abilities, this gathering of old friends meeting new friends becomes a secret plot, which is the most reasonable outcome. Whether it's the beauty or the Thousand Ox Guards, they can't become his obstacles.

  She had a bold idea in her mind and shouted "Stop!"

  Yuan Cheng, if he has set up this situation, then let her take advantage of it. Taking advantage is not the same as seeking help. This must be clearly distinguished.

  Zan stopped his hand, and Xu Jiu also stopped his hand.

  Mozi once again confirmed a point for her own hypothesis - this Xiujiu was not a petty person.

  "Master Ji, you've scared the beauty so much. Why not ask unrelated people to leave and avoid harming innocent people?" She didn't know how Yuan Cheng would get rid of these people, but she was more direct.

  Xu Jiu felt a bit at a loss, but Mozi was right, he waved his hand and let all the people standing go out.

  The Chinese clothes didn't move.

  Xiao Yi wondered if this senior brother was sent by someone to spy on Yuan Cheng. She didn't seem like it, but Hua Yi's identity couldn't be ignored.

  She slightly tilted her head, gazing steadily at Yuan Qing, and lightly pursed her lips.

  Yuancheng saw it in his eyes, and a shallow wrinkle appeared on his brow, but he responded correctly to Mozi's subtle movement. "Hua Yi, since the host has spoken, you can go out and wait. Guests follow the host's convenience. If you can't bear the hunger or take a liking to one of the girls, then go ahead."

  Hua Yi said he would wait for him and left.

  It's really pitiful, Hua Yi and Xiao Yi this pair of master siblings are also miserable siblings, it's not easy to serve their masters.

  Xu Jiu didn't have as many thoughts as Mo Zi, and said, "Brother Mo, can we make our move now?"

  "Nine Master, the outcome is already decided, why be stubborn?"

  Xu Jiuda took a deep breath, his chest heaving, his hands clenched in his sleeves as if to conceal his fatigue. Zan Jin swung his large hands and smiled complacently, his breathing already steady. Who was stronger than whom didn't need to be said.

  Xu Jiu saw Mo Zi come out, and it was indeed refreshing. "Brother Mo is right, the outcome of this battle has already been decided. But I have a thousand men under my command, and your brother, no matter how powerful he is, can't defeat them all. Believe it or not, I'm going to take his life, and he won't live for long."

  "I don't believe it." Mozi was not afraid of intimidation, "You have only a thousand men under your command, can you cover the entire land? You can't even catch a small debt collector, how can you handle my brother? My brother won't hide, and I still have ways to keep you busy so that you won't have time to bother us. As long as I invite your eighth brother to drink a little wine."

  As expected, Xu Jiu's face sank, and he vaguely knew something was wrong. His words were stubborn: "You think inviting my eighth brother to drink wine as an apology will settle the matter?"

  "I didn't mean to apologize, I just wanted to tell him that someone is secretly planning to surpass him as the leader of the Leopard Gang by collaborating with the Five Great Ship Guilds." Words can be spoken irresponsibly and recklessly, after all, there's no law against slander in Da Zhou.

  Xu Jiu suddenly spoke in a cold voice, "You dare to spout nonsense, I'll kill you."

  Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but her eyes curved into a smile, like two crescent moons. This was in line with Mozi's thinking.

  Mozi shook her head and sighed, "Ninth Master, I didn't even mention that person's name, why did you confess on your own?" A martial artist is still a martial artist after all, their limbs are well-developed, but their brain is slightly less sharp than hers.

  However, since Ninth Master has confessed, I'll speak frankly. Ninth Master wants to be the leader even without the Allied Army, and this one - she pointed at Lu Man who was stunned - also wants to be the leader with Ninth Master's support. I hope both of you can achieve your goals and succeed. What I just said was just my own speculation, please don't mind if it was wrong, Ninth Master. I have no evidence, and these two people won't betray you either. I'm not stupid enough to go find Eighth Master for a drink. We three are ordinary people who just want to live in peace, we really don't want to offend a great leader like Ninth Master. If Ninth Master wants to avoid arousing Eighth Master's suspicion of your loyalty, the few of us are willing to help Ninth Master with one arm. We only hope that from now on, the Leopard Gang won't bother us again. What does Ninth Master think?

  You help me, I help you, the world is more beautiful.

  Sorry, it's getting late.

  Still only one shift today. Slept for a day, finished dinner, and the fever is high again, went to see emergency.

  Sorry everyone.
