Chapter 249: Fighting Wits and Courage (I)

"Bang-" There was a crisp cracking sound of the cup, and in the square hall, a tall leader dressed in a beast's fur slammed the cup on the table to the ground, as if he was enraged by something.

"Dou Gang Leader is angry, it's just a yellow-haired girl spreading wild outside the door, why do you want to be angry, Dou Gang Master?" a staff officer-like figure said slowly on the side, and it can be seen that the person who is talking to is Dou Deyong, the gang leader of the "Tangying Society".

Just now, the guards came to report, saying that Lu Jing and the others were making a fuss outside the gang gate, and they didn't know that they were threatening to see Dou Deyong and Dou Gang Leader. After Dou Deyong heard this, he was furious, after all, he didn't dare to imagine that woman would be able to eat the gall of the ambitious leopard and take the initiative to find trouble with the "Tang Ying Society".

"Hmph, how dare a yellow-haired girl be so arrogant?" Dou Deyong's eyes like a beast glared at the door of the hall, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Even Miss Wang eighteen years ago dared to come to the door at the invitation of her father, but I didn't expect this girl to dare to take the initiative to come to the door by herself——"

"I seem to have heard the brothers outside mention ...... just now," the staff officer who spoke slowly just now said again, "Those brothers who met Miss Wang more than ten years ago all said that the wild girl who came here had a bit of the taste of Miss Wang back then......

The staff officer is nicknamed "Lao Jiu", saying that he is a staff officer, but in fact, he is just a pure officer under Dou Deyong, whenever Dou Deyong gives any order, he just lets Lao Jiu carry it out, and the only difference with other subordinates is that he is closer to Dou Deyong.

"A bit of the taste of Miss Wang back then?" After Dou Deyong listened, he slowly descended a few steps. His eyes kept staring at the door of the main hall in front of him, and he continued, "Hmph. Back then, Miss Wang won in front of her father with wisdom and force, and her father admired it. But I never looked at Miss Gao Wang very much, if it wasn't for the spear boy who killed him halfway back then, what Miss Wang, I wouldn't have paid attention to it at all...... More than ten years have passed, and now there is a yellow-haired girl who wants to claim to fight with Miss Wang again? I will definitely make her understand that if outsiders dare to provoke our 'Tang Ying Society', they are killing themselves!"

Lao Jiu thought about it for a long time. Listening to what Dou Deyong said, Lao Jiu couldn't help asking: "Dou Gang Master, if you don't belong to your subordinates, you will send someone to do them." In exchange for peace—"

"It was only a matter of time before they did. But I also want to see this girl who doesn't know the height of the sky,......" Dou Deyong continued, "Hmph, you also want me to give them tea to say hello, and when they come in, I want them to go and never return!"

"What do you mean...... the gang leader," Lao Jiu asked again.

"Someone—" Without waiting for Lao Jiu to continue, Dou Deyong had already shouted in a rough voice.

At the command, more than 20 bandits with knives outside the door had already entered the door, all of them were strong and strong. It seems that this "Tang Ying Hui" is a gang. But the order is in good order.

However, the guards, on their part, were waiting for orders. Dou Deyong seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

Lao Jiu saw that Dou Deyong was a little hesitant, and when it was difficult for the helper to make a decision, sometimes he could give an order on behalf of the helper, so Lao Jiu took a few steps forward and prepared to cast an order instead of Dou Deyong.

However, before Lao Jiu could raise his hand, Dou Deyong stopped it with his hand, and then turned his back and said something unexpected: "Go, serve eight cups of hot tea, and entertain visitors——"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but hesitate, just now they hated Lu Jing and them to the core, why didn't it happen that after a while, the helper was like a different person, and his attitude was very different from before.

Of course, the guards at the foot of the stairs naturally didn't dare to slack off, "Yes, helper-" and then went down with a knife.

The others were still very puzzled, and Lao Jiu was even more puzzled, so he asked: "Helper, didn't you just say that you wouldn't give them a good look? Why, now you have to entertain them with tea again?"

Dou Deyong listened, smiled lightly, and then said, "Who said that the tea was used to entertain them?"

"What do you mean by the helper......" Lao Jiu asked again.

Dou Deyong turned around and said slowly: "I will send someone to put down the poison in one of the eight cups of tea, and let that girl guess which cup is poisonous without touching a glass of water." If she can guess, it means that she is not simple, but if she can't...... Hmph, I'm going to be rude to her......"

When Lao Jiu heard this, he was a little surprised: "This ...... This...... It's not ......"

"That's right, Lao Jiu, you know what to do...... Dou Deyong said with a smile, "Eighteen years ago, when Miss Wang and her father faced off, my father also used this method, and Miss Wang quickly guessed it at that time...... Didn't that girl claim to be the same as Miss Wang? That's right, the same problem is in front of me, I want to see if that girl can solve it, like Miss Wang eighteen years ago......

Lao Jiu understood the meaning when he heard it, and nodded with a smile with Dou Deyong......

Speaking of Lu Jing's side, after killing the minions outside the door, Lu Jing asked the remaining thieves to go to the door to talk, and now they have been waiting for news outside......

"Jing'er, is it really okay?" Tang Zhan still asked worriedly on the side, "'Tang Yinghui' is a thief's den no matter how you say it, so if you rush in like this, if something happens, it's not easy to clean it up......"

"What are you afraid of, didn't Miss Wang also encounter this more than ten years ago?" Lu Jing responded with a smile, "Moreover, more than ten years ago, Miss Wang came to the 'Tangying Club' alone to call for war. And now it's not just me, but also the fool you and Zhao Zichuan, that big fool, what's there to be afraid of?"

"You mean to say that I became your thug?" Zhao Zichuan listened to it and said disdainfully.

Lu Jing wanted to deliberately ridicule Zhao Zichuan again, so she responded with a smile: "It's not enough to be a thug, it's enough to have a fool." What are you...... You can help with those things or bow to them......"

"You-" Zhao Zichuan, who usually said that he couldn't win Lu Jing, was yin by Lu Jing again, and he was really angry in his heart and didn't know how to exit.

But Tang Zhan had been worried about Lu Jing's safety, so he continued: "Miss Wang did it more than ten years ago. That's because the leader of Dou Jinshun's gang more than ten years ago was a righteous person who did what he said. But now Dou Jinshun's son Dou Deyong has inherited the position of the gang leader, not only tearing up the agreement. The wind continued to infest Wangjia Village. This kind of person is not moral, if he is too risky, I am afraid it will ......" Tang Zhan was still worried.

"It's okay, aren't there still fools by Jing'er's side, those 'Tangyinghui' bandits are not very good in the first place, if they know your identity, I'm afraid they will be scared......" Lu Jing continued to smile and said, "And more than ten years ago, Miss Wang was able to convince the original 'Tangyinghui' to help convince her." Why can't I let the current helper remember me? Don't worry, when I enter the 'Tangying Club' later, I will definitely make that Dou Deyong unable to laugh......"

"Huh. Can't laugh? If you provoke such a big thing, sooner or later you will cry by yourself......" Zhao Zichuan listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart......

As he spoke, a guard with a message finally came out of the door. The guard saw Lu Jing and the others. With a stiff face, he said, "Three." Gang Master Dou has promised to see you, please come with me......"

"Yo, I didn't expect the people of the 'Tang Ying Club' to be quite polite, and it can be regarded as a good impression of me......" Lu Jing smiled again, and then followed Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan into the gate with the guard......

The "Tang Ying Society" set up a small gang on this wild wolf mountain, which was very hidden and few people found it. Naturally, the road inside is not very complicated. Didn't spin long, didn't go up many steps. Soon the three of them were taken out of the main hall.

The main hall was not very well furnished, but it was a slightly decent sturdy shed made of wood, with a lot of hay on it, and there was not even a gate. Due to the heavy snowfall, the snow at the entrance of the hall even spread a little to the floor of the house.

Lu Jing walked all the way, looked around at the bits and pieces, and didn't express too many opinions. When he walked to the door and saw Dou Deyong in front of him, Lu Jing slowly withdrew his smile and looked at each other with a slightly serious expression.

Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan just followed behind Lu Jing, and they didn't say a word along the way, even Dou Deyong, the leader of the "Tangying Club", the two of them only glanced at it and didn't dare to face it.

Dou Deyong saw Lu Jing in a red and black robe walking in the front at a glance, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then he was the first to speak: "You are the wild girl who injured our 'Tangyinghui' brother outside the door just now......?"

Lu Jing thought about it, and then took back the look of distraction just now, after all, now facing the help of the "Tang Ying Society", Lu Jing still said seriously: "The little woman didn't expect that the Dou Gang Leader was also a faction of the Dou Xuan, it was rare to see it, and it was an honor to ......."

Hearing what Lu Jing said now, it was completely different from the "arrogant" appearance outside just now, and Tang Zhan, who was a little sluggish, really couldn't adapt to it. Zhao Zichuan disagreed, he secretly said in his heart: "Hmph, dead girl, she will only pretend to be ...... all day long"

Dou Deyong heard that Lu Jing's tone was not as "nonsense" as he imagined before, so he also responded with a smile: "Look at the girl's words and deeds, girl, you are also a polite person, in this case, why do you want to hurt the brothers of the gang who are hunting outside the door?"

Lu Jing listened, smiled and said, "Ha, in fact, Dou Gang Master, you misunderstood, the little girl came here today just to ask you for a lesson like your Dou Gang Master." Who knew that at the door of your gang, I met the brothers of your gang who had a conflict in Wangjia Village before, so I made a little misunderstanding, and I ask the Dou gang master not ......to be too careful."

Lu Jing's words were really powerful, not only smoothed the tense atmosphere between them, but also disturbed Dou Deyong's suspicious heart. Originally, the purpose of Lu Jing taking the initiative to find the "Tang Ying Club" this time was just to learn about Miss Wang more than ten years ago, and if she could not move, she would not move, so it was very important to stabilize the other party's emotions.

Dou Deyong didn't continue to say anything, of course, his impression of Lu Jing in his heart did change slightly. Immediately, Dou Deyong's eyes were slightly biased, and he glanced at Zhao Zichuan and Tang Zhan behind Lu Jing, and then asked, "These two are girls, your friends?"

"It's ......," Lu Jing replied softly.

Zhao Zichuan was nothing, but when Dou Deyong saw Tang Zhan's face, he seemed to think of something, and looked at it with a slightly surprised gaze for a long time.

Tang Zhan saw that not only the people of Wangjia Village, but even the gang leader of the "Tangying Society" looked at him like this. Tang Zhan couldn't help but feel as if he was an anomaly, feeling uncomfortable.

Lu Jing also noticed it on the side, and said secretly in her heart: "What are you doing." Why is it that in addition to the people of Wangjia Village, the people of the 'Tangying Society' also look at the fool like this, is there really something unusual on the face of the fool, or ......"

After a while, Dou Deyong returned to the topic and said: "The girl mentioned Miss Wang's matter just now, right? This gang leader is also very curious about why you want to ask Miss Wang so much, and besides, this gang leader still doesn't know about your life, Miss Lu Dao, ...... your life."

"Little woman Lu Jing ......," Lu Jing replied softly.

"Miss Lu, right......" Dou Deyong continued. "If you want to know the way, you can do it, but if you enter the door of the 'Tang Ying Society', you have to follow the rules of our 'Tang Ying Society'-"

As soon as this remark came out. The guards with knives on both sides of the main hall suddenly became alert, and they all raised their spirits and stood up. Lu Jing and the others also felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere, Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan had even stretched out their weapons with their hands, although they were prepared just in case.

But neither side used force. I saw that Dou Deyong just clapped his palms. Then he ordered Lao Jiu beside him to tell the attendants in the backyard to come out. After a while, several people slowly walked out carrying a long table and placed it in the center of the main hall. What was placed on the long table was naturally the eight cups of tea ordered by Dou Deyong before. Above the long table is the skylight of the ceiling of the hall, which is covered by hay on a snowy day, but it still does not cover the light, and there is even snow and icicles in the corners of the skylight. The light shining through the skylight. The tea of the eight cups of tea reflected on the table can't help but reflect a bit of aura in this humble wooden shed hall.

Lu Jing and the three of them looked at Dou Deyong's actions. He was very puzzled, so he couldn't help asking, "What does Gang Master Dou mean by this, is he trying to entertain the three of us?"

Dou Deyong slowly walked a few steps to the side, and then said with a smile: "Didn't Miss Lu just now look outside and say that she wanted to meet the gang leader in person and let the gang leader serve you with hot tea? ”

"I didn't expect Dou Gang Master to be really intimate......" Lu Jing looked at the number of teacups on the table, and then said with a wrinkle in her eyes, "But there are only three of us here, Dou Gang Master, why do you prepare eight cups for Lu?"

"This is also what the gang leader is trying to say now...... Dou Deyong straightened up, and then continued, "This gang leader also said just now, when you enter the gate of the 'Tang Ying Society', you must follow the rules of our 'Tang Ying Society' if you have something to ask." Miss Lu, you want to ask the gang leader about Miss Wang eighteen years ago, that's okay, as long as you pass the test of the gang, the gang leader will naturally meet Miss Lu's request......"

Lu Jing listened to it and knew some of Dou Deyong's thoughts. She closed her eyes, thought about it for a moment, then opened her eyes and asked, "Okay, just follow the rules of your gang." But...... Dou Gang Master, what do you mean by bringing these eight cups of tea?"

Dou Deyong was not in a hurry, and slowly explained: "Eighteen years ago, when my father was still the leader of the 'Tangying Club', Miss Wang came to the 'Tangying Club' alone to challenge my father with wisdom and force for the sake of the tranquility of Wangjia Village. The father is also a humane person, and he came according to the rules, so he first gave Miss Wang a question......"

Dou Deyong was talking in front, and Lu Jing and the others at the bottom of the steps were listening carefully.

Dou Deyong continued: "At that time, my father had a problem, and eight cups of tea were given at the table, one of which was poisonous, and the other seven cups were five poisonous. The father asked Miss Wang to find the poisonous cup of tea in a stick of incense without touching the cup and tea...... And Miss Wang did it, not to mention the time of a pillar of incense, she guessed the poisonous cup almost instantly. The father saw that Miss Wang was talented, so he bowed down to Zhishang...... Now that it's Miss Lu, if you can have Miss Wang's ability, it means that you are indeed qualified to compete with Miss Wang, then I naturally have no objection to tell Miss Lu about you. But if you don't have that strength, and you can't find it in a stick of incense, hum, then don't blame the gang leader for being unkind......"

"What do you mean, let me find out the poisonous cup like Miss Wang eighteen years ago, right......" Lu Jing looked at the eight cups of tea on the table, and said with a smile, "Okay, this is fun, I, Lu Jing, have always liked to be challenged ......"

Lu Jing wasn't worried, but Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan behind him couldn't put their minds at ease...... (To be continued......)
