Protect Our Clan Leader Chapter 594 - 51 Wang Shouzhe! This is my family’s Old Ances

...

Thousands of miles away from Changning Guard City.

The middle stream of Peace River.

In this section of the Peace River, the terrain was rugged, filled with twists and turns. The river often wound through high mountains, forming steep cliffs and precipices.

Among the winding riverbeds, there was an island in the middle of the river. Its surroundings were cut sharply as if by an axe, with only a waterway on the leeward side leading into the bay, forming a semi-natural river port within.

After hundreds of years of developnt and expansion, the river port had grown to a considerable scale, capable of mooring dozens of ships at the sa ti. The bustling riverboats all hoisted the awe-inspiring flags of Jiaolong.

The vessels boasting such flags were never bothered on the upstream or downstream of the Peace River, as they all hailed from the overlord of the Peace River--the Jiaolong Gang.

The island, known as "Jiaolong Island", was the headquarters of the Jiaolong Gang, the overlord that controlled the Peace River.

In the middle of Jiaolong Island, there was a prominent main peak that suppressed a high-grade Water Spirit Vein, transplanted from God knows where, covering the whole peak with misty clouds.

The top of the peak had long been flattened to accommodate nurous buildings. Formation Eyes and Formation Nodes had also been built at critical positions, constituting a mountain-protecting formation.

With such an easily defendable base, the Jiaolong Gang had been able to grow stronger over the centuries.

At this ti.

In the most heavily guarded main hall on top of the peak, the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Compared with the stately mansions of the average prominent families, this hall’s style was exceptionally rough, with neither ticulous carvings nor rigorous arrangents. The entrance led directly to the main hall.

Nevertheless, this did nothing to diminish the majesty of the main hall itself.

Especially those huge beast heads nailed on the walls of the left and right sides of the hall as decorations, which were extrely fierce, filled with an unspeakable dominance and ostentation.

In the hall’s main seat, a middle-aged man in a white short jacket and cropped trousers reclined casually.

This middle-aged man had stubble on his chin and sat in a half-leaning, half-reclining, utterly casual posture. He seed quite unkempt, but his exposed muscles were bulging and taut, showing an indomitable and powerful aura from the inside out.

This middle-aged man was none other than the famous leader of the Jiaolong Gang, Long Wuji.

Listening to his subordinates reporting on Zhao Wuqing’s defeat and him being held in the prison of Changning Guard City, his slightly squinted eyes concealed an inner light, as though he was listening to so irrelevant matter.

"Chief..." Lu Jinyi knelt down on the ground, his body soaked in sweat, "It’s said that the Changning City Defense Office has officially accepted this case and started the official legal procedure. If the charges are proven, Commander Zhao and his brothers will be deed as water bandits and punished for robbery.

Under Daqian Law, Commander Zhao and other core gang mbers would be publicly executed, their bodies hung on Donggang to dry and caution the public for three years... the rest of the gang mbers would be banished to the borderlands for hard labor..."

"Bastards." Several Heavenly Human Realm Great Commanders in Long Wuji’s command burst into fury, "The Changning Wang Clan has so nerve, daring to treat Commander Zhao in such a way."

"Chief, this matter cannot be tolerated. We need to put pressure on the Changning Defense Office, and attack the Wang family and the In-laws Alliance."

All the Great Commanders chid in, indignant.

At this ti.

Long Wuji finally opened his half-closed eyes, and a glint flashed across his eyes, "Great Commander Jiang, what do you think of this?"

As soon as these words ca out, all eyes fell on a Great Commander who had not yet spoken.

Unlike most of the rough and unkempt Jiaolong Gang mbers, he dressed in wide-sleeved robes, presenting an elegant and scholarly grace. Standing among the mbers of the Jiaolong Gang, he stood out like a crane among chickens.

For those unfamiliar, they might mistake him for an elder from so prominent family.

He was a strategic advisor, known as "Jiang Yusong", whom Long Wuji had recruited from sowhere. He was thoughtful and full of strategies. Over the years, many of the strategic operations and tactical arrangents of the Jiaolong Gang were planned by him behind the scenes.

"Chief." Jiang Yusong respectfully saluted, and said eloquently, "From this matter, one can see the complexity of the In-laws Alliance led by the Changning Wang Clan. This plan must have been devised by Wang Shouzhe of the Wang Clan."

"I have studied many of the deeds that led to Wang Shouzhe’s rise. He seed to be conservative and prudent, yet his thinking was unconventional and elusive, making it hard to predict his next move."

"However, every person must have their strategic and tactical drivers. If I were Wang Shouzhe, who finds the Wang family and its allies in a period of rapid developnt, I would not want to be involved in a fight that will surely be at a disadvantage. Avoiding conflict and seeking ti to grow would be the core elents of his layout."

"Great Commander Jiang." Another Heavenly Human Realm Great Commander with a rough appearance spoke in a resonating voice, "If the Wang family hopes to avoid conflict and delay, why would they audaciously have the governnt office intervene in this matter? You should know, once Commander Zhao’s guilt is established, even immortals wouldn’t be able to save him.

Could it be, do they want to make mortal enemies with us?"

"That’s exactly where the cunningness of Wang Shouzhe lies. The governnt office’s handling of the case will follow a fixed process, and it will take ti to convict. I think, Wang Shouzhe’s intention should be, if our Jiaolong Gang wants to save Great Commander Zhao, we must start a conversation with the Wang family about this matter before the governnt office finalizes the case."
