Du Ruo's words are very straightforward. It is indeed the problem that Juyi Gang has today. Of course, without Du Ruo's words, Deng Fangzhou can also know that although Juyi Gang has developed rapidly and seems to be prosperous, after all, it has always been a one-man operation.

Fighting alone lacks foundation.

"I understand what Gang Leader Du said," Deng Fangzhou said, "but it's not enough. Just relying on this is not worthy of Juyi Gang's action. After all, the relationship between our Nanshan Gang and Juyi Gang is not harmonious at all.

, I want to know, what does Gang Leader Du need from me?"

Du Ruo turned his head and looked at the river. When the breeze came, the river rippled slightly. He said slowly: "I need a boat. The Nanshan Gang gave me ten cargo ships as a reward for my help from the Juyi Gang."

Deng Fangzhou was silent. Ten ships was already nearly half of the number for the Nanshan Gang. This was not a small sum.

Du Ruo continued: "Brother Deng, you will make a profit by trading ten ships for a dock. If there is no dock, no matter how many ships you have, it will be useless. It is equivalent to not having a single ship. This transaction

, it’s worth it.”

Deng Fangzhou was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Five ships."

"Seven ships."

"make a deal."

Du Ruo smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "It's a pleasure to cooperate. From now on, our two gangs will be partners. Gang Leader Deng, if you have time, please come and sit with me at Juyi Gang."

Deng Fangzhou said solemnly: "The Nanshan Gang also welcomes Gang Leader Du to visit more often."

"See you later!"

"See you later!"

Because this cooperation was agreed upon, Deng Fangzhou had to make timely changes in his plans. Fortunately, the time for the Dragon Boat Festival had not yet come, and many people had not come yet, so he had plenty of time.

Heitou is very confused now. He really can't figure out why the Juyi Gang and the Nanshan Gang suddenly formed an alliance. He doesn't understand what the gang leader thinks. He only knows that everyone in the Juyi Gang wants the Nanshan Gang to die overnight.

Knowing that the Nanshan Gang was having a hard time recently, he had a drink with a few brothers to celebrate, thinking that maybe the Nanshan Gang would start to collapse after the Dragon Boat Festival, and he was very happy.

But now, he was at a loss.

He didn't understand that there was obviously something wrong with the Nanshan Gang. The gang leader had nothing to do but seize the opportunity to add insult to injury and take the opportunity to get rid of the Nanshan Gang as an enemy. Instead, he wanted to help. This was obviously scheming with the enemy, but he didn't dare to ask, even though he wanted to

I asked, but I still held back my words.

Du Ruo, who was walking slowly and admiring the scenery of Shuixi, saw Heitou's doubts and said with a smile: "Heitou, you have to understand that there are rivers and lakes in this river and lake, and the water is very deep. Many things cannot be seen simply.

That way.”

The black-headed man said: "Gang leader, I don't understand. Our Juyi Gang is so good now and has so much business. Even if we can't take over the Nanchuan Gang, we don't need anything from the Nanshan Gang. Moreover, we and the Nanshan Gang

There is so much hatred, no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I should help them?”

Du Ruo shook his head slightly and said: "Heitou, don't be blinded by the superficial phenomena during this period. I tell you, these are all false. You have forgotten that half a month ago we were still in decline, while the Nanshan Gang was

The momentum is like a rainbow, but in less than half a month, the form has completely changed. This is the world, it is ever-changing."

"But," Heitou frowned and scratched his head, "I don't understand, what does this have to do with our cooperation with the Nanshan Gang?"

Looking at the dull black head, Du Ruo gently patted his head with a fan and said: "You don't need to understand, I just understand."

Du Ruo is different from Heitou, he is Du Sanye.

While the entire Juyi Gang was cheering for the benefits brought by this victory, he was thinking more. Their apparent enemy was just the Nanshan Gang, but he understood that those with conflicts of interest were all enemies.

In Shuixi County, there are five gangs at the same level as them.

Except for the triad that has been running Goulan and gambling houses, the other two gangs have always been eyeing this good place in Wutong Town. They just have some scruples and are not as fierce as the Nanshan Gang. Similarly, this

When a big change happened to the Nanshan Gang, the Zhongxin Gang and the Changfeng Gang immediately took the opportunity to extend a hand.

Among the five major gangs, the Juyi Gang has the weakest foundation.

Even if the Juyi Gang knocks off an arm of the Nanshan Gang, so what if they are still not qualified to eat this piece of fat and can only watch others come and take the fruit. However, the bigger problem is that whether it is the Zhongxin Gang or the

After the Changfeng Gang defeated the Nanshan Gang, their eyes will be fixed on the Juyi Gang.

Rather than being targeted by a more powerful opponent, it is safer to leave a weak enemy behind.

In addition, the Nanshan Gang still needs a long time to recover. This period of time is an opportunity for the Juyi Gang to develop and catch up with the Nanshan Gang.

Cooperating with the Nanshan Gang is a win-win situation.

The Nanshan Gang secured the dock, and the Juyi Gang did not have to face a more powerful enemy. They also got time to buffer and develop. At the same time, they also received seven ships from the Nanshan Gang. This was an obvious benefit.

Moreover, the alliance between the two recent gangs, the Nanshan Gang and the Juyi Gang, can also promote development to a certain extent and also have a certain deterrent effect on other gangs.

This is what both gangs need at the moment.

As for the old grudge, it is still grudge, and will still be kept in my heart, but no one can say when to take revenge, but everyone knows that this grudge cannot be let go.

Du Ruo has seen this kind of thing too many times.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but the waves in the rivers and lakes are always moving with the wind. One moment, they are going to the left, the next moment, they are going to the right. One moment, they are close partners, and the next moment, they are enemies with drawn swords.

, one moment full of smiles, the next moment indifferent.

Going to the big ship in Tai'an, Du Ruo only took Hei Tou with him. When the small boat came, Du Ruo felt for himself that the ship was really big. It was completely different from when he looked at it from a distance. It was really big, and he just felt good about himself.

Small.

As soon as they entered the boat, many people came to say hello, and Du Ruo also returned the greeting with a smile. Those who came here were basically leaders from all walks of life in Shuixi County. Of course, Du Ruo, the leader of the Juyi Gang, deserves the majority

People take the initiative to say hello.

When Du Ruo got on the boat, the first thing he should naturally do was greet Magistrate Song, the leader of Shuixi County.

For Magistrate Song, Du Ruo couldn't say he was unfamiliar or familiar, just because when Magistrate Song first came to Shuixi, Du Ruo was also in the limelight, and in order to form the Juyi Gang, he fought with Magistrate Song.

Talk less.

"Student Shan Jiang, I have met the county magistrate."

Du Ruo's position was arranged at the front, and Magistrate Song was at the top. He walked straight over and bowed to salute.

Regardless of his status or age, County Magistrate Song was far superior to Du Ruo. However, his attitude towards Du Ruo was very gentle. He smiled slightly and said: "Shanjiang, I heard that your Juyi Gang is developing very well. It's a happy thing. For

We have made a huge contribution to the development of Shuixi County, but don’t miss your business and don’t throw away your studies. The scientific examination is coming soon, are you ready?"

Du Ruo nodded and said: "Students naturally don't dare to forget about academic matters. They start preparing early in the morning, waiting for the day of the scientific examination to arrive."

"That's a good relationship," County Magistrate Song said: "You are a well-known child prodigy in Shuixi County. Over the years, Shuixi County has not produced a single successful candidate. However, you are burdened with the expectations of your father and fellow villagers. You want to give me Shuixi

Let’s fight for the county!”

“Students do their best!”

Speaking of which, there were not many scholars present. At least, not many were famous, but most of them were in the yamen. There were not many who could talk casually with Magistrate Song like Du Ruo.

For a time, it almost became the home court of Du Ruo and Magistrate Song.

However, after all, it was not a suitable occasion for chatting. Magistrate Song and Du Ruo chatted for a while and then did not continue.

However, Magistrate Song still glanced at Du Ruo from time to time, and he was a little surprised in his heart. He had a deep impression of Du Ruo. After all, when he first came here, Du Ruo was in the limelight.

But when he met today, he always felt that Du Ruo was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird. He just couldn't feel the attitude of an ordinary student facing him from Du Ruo, nor could he see the temperament of a gang leader. There was always a kind of

Paradoxical, like looking at flowers in the mist.

After Du Ruo sat down, he also smiled and gestured to some other people, including some who cooperated with the Juyi Gang. Du Ruo just visited two days ago, and some of them were prepared to cooperate with the Juyi Gang, and even more

Most of them are people who have nothing to do with the Juyi Gang. However, they are in the same county, look up but not look down, and have no grudges, so they can still save face.

Only the two gang leaders, Zhongxin Gang and Changfeng Gang, had some other charm in their eyes when they looked at Du Ruo.

…………

The boat in Tai'an was very lively until ten o'clock at noon. All the invited people had arrived. After the Dragon Boat Festival was held by Magistrate Song, he began to talk to everyone about the various developments of Shuixi County in the next few years.

Everyone is speaking actively because they all understand that this conversation is likely to affect the change of the wind direction in Shuixi County. It is obvious that some of the people who came here three years ago have no longer come, but

There are a new batch of newcomers, such as Du Ruo.

When Magistrate Song talked about the dock, everyone involuntarily looked at Du Ruo and Deng Fangzhou, especially the two leaders of the Zhongxin Gang and the Changfeng Gang. Before coming here, the two had already started fighting openly and secretly, both against Nanshan.

They were determined to win the dock, but in the morning, after Du Ruo and Deng Fangzhou's sudden encounter, they were a little unclear.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere, Du Ruo stood up slowly, cupped his hands towards Magistrate Song and said, "Your Excellency, the students have had private discussions with Gang Leader Deng about the development of the dock, especially about the water thieves trouble on the Fengling River.
