at the same time.
Wanwan also returned to the Dongming Sect’s base, but found that everyone on the Piaoxiang was holding a sword and patrolling the deck vigilantly with their swords.
At this time, a patrol woman also saw Wanwan and immediately came over to her and said respectfully, "Miss Wanwan, Madam told you to go find her when you return."
After hearing this, Wanwan nodded and walked towards Shan Meixian's room. She saw Shan Meixian pacing back and forth with a frown on her face and a serious expression.
Shan Wanjing was also frowning.
After seeing Wanwan come in, Shan Meixian said solemnly, "Miss Wanwan, I've heard that the Haisha Gang and the Shuilong Gang are planning to forcibly attack our Dongming Sect."
Wanwan's expression remained unchanged. She simply looked at Shan Meixian calmly and said nonchalantly, "Come on, come on. You can just wipe them all out in one fell swoop. That way, no one will dare to attack you."
"Sister Shan, you have to trust me, and even more so, trust the store owner's things."
After hearing Wanwan's calm words, Shan Meixian calmed down. She touched the little iron man in her sleeve, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Yuhang Wharf.
At this time, the people from the Haisha Gang and the Shuilong Gang were moving things onto the boat. They had no intention of launching a sneak attack because they couldn't do it even if they wanted to. After all, the Piaoxiang was so far away from the shore. By the time they sailed over, the Piaoxiang was not blind. It was their only ship in the middle of the night, so it was impossible for them not to see it. It was better for them to just rush over.
The actions of their two gangs naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.
"The Haisha Gang and Shuilong Gang are not primarily engaged in the salt trade, one is smuggling salt, so why did they prepare so many weapons today?"
"Are they preparing to attack the Dongming Sect?"
"That's right. Yesterday I heard a drunk man from the Haisha Gang say that they were going to attack the Dongming Sect. They had already prepared everything."
"But you noticed that almost all the people from the Haisha Gang came, but not many from the Shuilong Gang!"
"You know the Water Dragon Gang hasn't been involved in the affairs of these two families. I guess the Sea Sand Gang paid a huge price to get the Water Dragon Gang to contribute this time."
"But is the Haisha Gang sure of success? Although they all make a living on the water, the Dongming Sect is actually on the sea!"
"Han Gaitian is not a fool. If he wasn't sure of victory, he wouldn't have mobilized everyone and even paid a huge price to get the Water Dragon Gang to help."
"Hey, the Dongming Sect is just like the Jukun Gang, being suppressed by these two gangs. If the two factions can form an alliance, there might be some hope."
"Forget about it. Do you think the Dongming Sect still has a chance of landing?"
"Indeed, the Dongming Sect can only hope for the best."
On the other side, in a mansion.
Dugu Ce was playing hide-and-seek with a group of girls.
Suddenly, a servant rushed in and said anxiously, "Master, Master, something bad has happened!"
Dugu Ce lost interest instantly and tore off the silk tied around his eyes. He turned around and looked at the servant with cold eyes and said, "What's going on? If you can't explain it, you don't have to speak anymore."
The servant was immediately frightened by the murderous aura from Dugu Ce and trembled all over. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said in horror: "The Haisha Gang and the Shuilong Gang are preparing to take down the Dongming Sect."
Hearing the servant's words, Dugu Ce's internal strength surged, directly shattering the silk in his hand, and a look of anger flashed across his face.
"Yuwen family, are you so impatient? Bastard!"
"Gather the troops immediately. We must not let the Dongming Sect be taken down by Haisha and his men."
"Yes!"
The servant breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left quickly to gather people and prepare for action.
On the other side, inside a house.
Li Xiuning was playing the zither in the yard. When he heard what Hong Funu had said, his hand trembled and the strings broke. Li Xiuning seemed unaware and looked at Hong Funu with a frown. He asked, "Have you found out why the Haisha Gang suddenly made this move? Do they have any hidden tricks up their sleeve?"
Hongfu shook her head and said with a puzzled look on her face, "Hongfu didn't find out anything, and I don't know why they suddenly took action."
Li Xiuning waved his hand and ordered, "If you haven't found anything yet, keep searching. Send someone to notify Second Brother and have him come over immediately. Then tell your men to get everything ready. Tonight's main event is on the sea."
After listening to Li Xiuning's words, Hong Funu nodded, turned around and left to make arrangements.
Li Xiuning looked at the ship of Dongming Sect from afar and frowned. If he couldn't reach a cooperation with Dongming Sect with Li Clan as the main body this time, he would have to use other means. He hoped that Dongming Sect would not let him down this time.
However, no one knows what the Haisha Gang's trump card is that made them take the initiative to attack the Dongming Sect. There must be something happening that they don't know about.
Everyone knows the purpose of these forces in dealing with the Dongming Sect. It is a tacit understanding. First, they want the Dongming Sect's high-end iron forging technology, and second, they want the account books in the hands of the Dongming Sect.
The account book is the most important thing. Although the Sui Dynasty is now about to gradually perish, Yang Guang still has some ministers loyal to him and still has some power. It can be said that most of them are buying weapons from the Dongming faction. Buying so many weapons, what else could it be if not for rebellion!
Once Yang Guang finds out, he will definitely send troops to eliminate them.
If this account book falls into the hands of the Yuwen clan, all the ministers in the court will be affected, and Yuwen Huaji will use this account book to control these people in order to achieve his goal of becoming king or emperor.
Just as Li Xiuning and his men were preparing for the battle at night, on the other side, in Luoyang, there was a jar shop.
Some workers were unloading flowers from a cart and moving them to the backyard.
I just bought a lot of flowers at the flower market. When the owner of the flower market saw that it was a big business, he took the initiative to ask for Qin Zhixuan and his friends' address and asked someone to deliver it to them.
Now the workers are moving the flowers to the backyard.
After the workers finished moving, Qin Zhixuan gave them one or two taels of silver. The workers thanked him profusely and left.
Then Jiang Yuyan, Lianxing and others began to adjust the position of the flower pots, while Huang Rong and Wei Zhenzhen went to cook.
Song Xue also planned to stay in the jar shop for one night and leave tomorrow.
As for why he stayed, of course it was because he wanted to exchange martial arts with Qin Zhixuan.
