Qin Yuesheng said, "With so many of you gathered together, it's actually unsafe. When it cos to formal armies, if they were to form a battle formation, you wouldn't stand a chance. Only by spreading out to develop can you have a better future.
Earlier, you wanted to take over Cyan Yang City, which is possible. But once Liu Xian and the other three officials start annexing the Jiangnan lands, you'll be caught in the middle and won't gain any advantage. The outco would be either being absorbed by one side or being crushed, because neither in overall strength nor in mastery level are you a match for these officials who have been secretly preparing for years."
After Qin Yuesheng finished speaking, these people nodded thoughtfully.
"Great Alliance Leader, then we shall follow your suggestion," Jiang Su said.
He gathered all the bandits within teor Mountain to form the Tai Sui Alliance, originally to rebel. Now, disrupted by Qin Yuesheng, if they can't take Cyan Yang City, the daily consumption of food and other issues can't be handled by Jiang Su, even if he is a master of Inner Strength.
Qin Yuesheng gave such an arrangent that provided these bandits with places to go and things to do.
"There's no ti to delay. Take dried food and your weapons and set out imdiately." Qin Yuesheng asked Jiang Su, "Do you have a map of Jiangnan?"
"Yes, yes." Jiang Su imdiately ran to fetch the map.
Compared to Liu Xian's precise version, Jiang Su's was extrely simple, basically so obviously inaccurate mountains and plains, with many city nas written on the map.
As a strategic resource, maps are naturally unobtainable by ordinary people. These folk maps are barely precise when it cos to city nas, but in other aspects, they have no credibility.
When Liu Xian unfolded the map, Qin Yuesheng pointed at it one by one, assigning these head leaders to lead their n to various places to establish Flood Dragon Gang branches.
After Qin Yuesheng had finished allocating, suddenly a bandit stepped out from the crowd, bowed, and said, "Great Alliance Leader, I have a bold matter to discuss."
Jiang Su frowned, "Who are you to speak to the Great Alliance Leader? Get back in line."
If it were usual tis, this person certainly wouldn't dare to defy Jiang Su, but now things were different. Though his eyes showed so timidity, he still mustered the courage to say, "Great Alliance Leader, hear out. You definitely won't regret it."
Qin Yuesheng nodded expressionlessly, "Speak."
"Great Alliance Leader, this is an important matter. Could you follow to a secluded place?"
Jiang Su shouted, "You've gone too far now, haven't you?"
Qin Yuesheng stared at the man and finally waved his hand, "Everyone else leave, except him. I'll hear what he has to say."
Hearing the Great Alliance Leader's words, Jiang Su could only glare at the man coldly and followed the others out of the hall.
"Speak, what's so mysterious about this?" Qin Yuesheng said.
"Great Alliance Leader, don't be fooled by how mighty the Tai Sui Alliance is now. It only bursts with strength when gathered together, but once dispersed, it's hard to control their loyalty."
Qin Yuesheng squinted, "Your na?"
"Subordinate He Hua."
"So you have a way to handle this, then?"
"Exactly!" He Hua blushed, "I have an idea that I originally intended to present to the three Alliance Leaders, but once you arrived, I realized it's most suitable for you."
"Speak directly. What is the idea, and what do you want in return?" Qin Yuesheng said.
The man imdiately showed a fierce expression and said, "I have a martial arts secret technique called the 'Life-and-Death Cold Ice Talisman.' An Inner Strength martial artist can cultivate a Cold Ice Talisman and implant it into another's body, thus easily controlling their life and death, even making others unable to live or die at will."
"A martial art like that exists?" Qin Yuesheng raised an eyebrow, intrigued, and said, "Interesting. State your demand."
"I wish for the Great Alliance Leader to help kill soone," He Hua said viciously.
"Who?"
"The steward of Yangzhou Prefecture's Gold and Silver Pavilion, Wang Tao."
Upon hearing the familiar na, Qin Yuesheng rembered that this person was also his target.
"Tell your story, how you got involved with this person."
"I was originally a shopkeeper in Yangzhou Prefecture, with a beautiful wife and daughter, living a happy life. One day, Wang Tao took advantage of my absence and defiled my wife and daughter, then secretly sent his n to abduct and bury outside Yangzhou Prefecture. If I hadn't been saved by a group of passing bandits, I'd have died at Wang Tao's lackey's hands. This happened ten years ago, but my anger still burns, wishing nothing more than to tear Wang Tao to pieces."
"Yet I know I'm far from being Wang Tao's match, let alone breaking into the Gold and Silver Pavilion to kill him. I can only entrust this to others. After seeing your prowess, I realized the Great Alliance Leader can help with revenge."
After He Hua finished, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously to Qin Yuesheng three tis.
"Hmm..." Qin Yuesheng pondered for a while, "Okay, I'll take it. Wang Tao is soone I must kill."
"Thank you, Great Alliance Leader!" He Hua quickly got up, took out a book wrapped tightly in oil paper from his chest, and handed it to Qin Yuesheng.
Qin Yuesheng received it, shook it with Inner Strength, and the oil paper instantly shattered, revealing the secret technique inside.
On the front of the secret technique were five large characters: Life-and-Death Cold Ice Talisman.
After glancing at He Hua to ensure he didn't seem deceptive, Qin Yuesheng began to carefully read the secret technique.
