As this ordinary Tiger Gang general finished his words, the hall instantly became rowdy. Almost everyone was discussing what the Green Bamboo Gang was planning to do at this moment.
Lin Qing's eyes flickered slightly as she stared at the bustling hall. She suddenly raised her hand and said, "Everyone, what do you think about this matter?"
As Lin Qing's words fell, a sturdy, slender, dark-armed, callused core member with a large palm stood up and respectfully cupped his fist towards Lin Qing. Upon seeing Lin Qing nod her head, he said, "This humble one presumptuously, this subordinate believes that this Green Bamboo Gang envoy is most likely here to warn us. Otherwise, it would be impossible to send an envoy while we were discussing the council."
"I don't think so. Although the council is not very secretive this time, the other side has never heard of the contents of the meeting and the person who sent the messenger at this time is definitely not here to warn us." A man with a three-ring blade on his waist said. His face was slightly yellow but his steps were steady and the light in his eyes seemed to flash.
"Wen Ying, those words are wrong. Although the other party may not know the contents of this meeting, it is likely that the main point of this meeting will still come out if the members of the Green Bamboo Gang are not idiots." Tan Tu's expression became serious as he immediately retorted.
"..."
Listening to his subordinates' heated discussion, Lin Qing also shifted her gaze away from Qin Fu. Her fingers lightly tapped the table, thinking about something.
After a long while, seeing that the crowd's discussions had weakened, Lin Qing finally raised her hand.
Seeing Lin Qing's actions, everyone couldn't help but stop what they were about to say and turn their gazes to Lin Qing.
In response, Lin Qing's expression was calm, and her eyes were as calm as water. Seeing that the Convergence Hall had quieted down, she finally said, "There is no point in discussing this. Why don't we bring that messenger up and see what his intentions are.
Everyone could not help but nod in agreement.
Hearing this, Huang Shan hurriedly stood up and said to the Tiger Gang members, who were still kneeling on the ground, "Hurry up and invite that messenger over."
"Yes!" As if they had been granted amnesty, the gang replied respectfully and immediately stood up to leave in a hurry.
Not long after, slow and slow footsteps came from outside the door. The footsteps were somewhat messy, and one could faintly guess the mood of the person inside.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Lin Qing frowned slightly, but her face remained expressionless.
The person wore a green robe. His sleeves were long and slender, and his posture was tall and straight. His eyes were thin, and his expression was gentle. He gave people a feeling of trust.
Upon seeing the appearance of this person, Lin Qing could not help but praise him for his good looks. However, with such an image, it would be difficult for him to be a member of a gang.
"Who are you, the branch helmsman of the Tiger Gang, kneel down!" Seeing the arrival of the envoy, Huang Shan immediately shouted, wanting to give him a show of strength.
The one who spoke would be met with a battle of Qi, and the one with the weaker aura would be cowardly. Even if he were to use all his strength, he could only unleash seventy percent of his power.
Lin Qing was quite satisfied with this sudden change in Huang Shan. Even though this Huang Shan had many shortcomings, his observation skills were not bad.
The Green Bamboo Gang Emissary revealed a smile on his face. He gently waved the fan in his hand, which was engraved with the dance sleeves of the court lady, with an inexplicable meaning.
"I am the envoy sent by Red Leaf Town, Gongsun Zhi. I represent the Green Bamboo Gang behind my back, but I have the right not to kneel."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's cold eyes contained traces of killing intent as she stared at Gongsun Zhi. It seemed as if in the next moment, she would slash out and kill this person.
Faced with such a situation, this person didn't have any expression on his face. It was as if the pressure that Lin Qing brought to him was like a gentle breeze, without the slightest bit of effect.
Lin Qing's heart was secretly filled with praise as he thought, "This Green Bamboo Gang truly has many talents. From this, one could tell that the newly risen Tiger Gang could not be compared with this sect."
"Hahaha." Seeing that Gongsun Zhi was unaffected, Lin Qing suddenly laughed out loud and said, "You do have the qualifications. However, I wonder what intention the Green Bamboo Gang has in sending you here."
Gongsun Zhi put away the folding fan in his hand and gazed at Lin Qing, who was sitting on the seat of honor. He saw the cold look in her eyes, the hidden sharpness in her eyes, and how young she was. At such a young age, she was already part of the group.
"Nothing else, I've come here to help you, Branch Lord Lin. Could it be that you do not know that the time of your death is approaching?" Gongsun Zhi's voice was solemn, as if he was a person who knew his limits. If it wasn't for the fact that they belonged to different camps, he would probably be shocked by Gongsun Zhi's words.
"Oh, I don't know why my time of death is approaching." Lin Qing wasn't annoyed. Her gaze was exceptionally cold, without the slightest trace of emotion as she spoke.
"Branch Lord Lin, what do you think of the Green Bamboo Gang compared to the Tiger Gang?" Gongsun Zhi did not respond to Lin Qing's words and asked another question.
Even though he knew that the Tiger Gang was weaker than the Green Bamboo Gang, he would not say anything that would hurt their morale at this moment. He looked at Gongsun Zhi with a cold glint in his eyes and did not say anything further.
Seeing Lin Qing remain silent, Gongsun Zhi continued to say, "Since Branch Lord Lin is unwilling to speak, I believe you understand that I have come here today to convince you to give up on your words. As long as you join my Green Bamboo Gang, with Branch Lord Lin's strength, my Green Bamboo Gang will absolutely not let you suffer a loss .." Gongsun Zhi slowly spoke with a calm expression.
When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was shocked. These words, when spoken, were normally spoken in secret, whether it be to lure others in, or to cause them to betray them. They did not expect that Gongsun Zhi would be so bold.
"Although the two factions are fighting and will not cut me down, if Fellow Gongsun still speaks like this, don't blame me for being unwilling to use the sword in my hands!" Lin Qing was also extremely angry, however, at this moment, it was impossible for her to lose her composure and speak coldly.
"That's a pity." Gongsun Zhi's heart couldn't help but turn cold, but his mind was extremely firm, and there wasn't a trace of panic on his face. Instead, he revealed a look of pity and said with a regretful tone, as if Lin Qing's disagreement was the biggest mistake in his life.
At this moment, as the Branch Lord of the Red Leaf Town's Tiger Gang, Lin Qing was the most powerful Branch Division's Branch Head. At this moment, as the Branch Lord of the Red Leaf Town's Branch Division, Lin Qing was the most powerful Division's Division's Branch Master.
It was probably because Gongsun Zhi had seen through this point that when he said those words, even if he did not agree, he would still disgust him to death.
"There really isn't a single fool in this world .." Lin Qing muttered to herself as she deeply sighed with emotion.
