surnamed Wang

Chapter 177
It was night, taking advantage of the dark clouds covering the moon, two figures slid down the city wall along the rope.

About 100 meters away from the city wall, a group of Japanese pirates was patrolling.

Two figures, one large and one small, spotted the gap between patrols, slipped through the blockade, and groped towards the direction of the enemy camp.

The two carefully lowered their figures and approached the enemy camp step by step. Just as they were about to approach, an accident happened.

"Stop, who the hell!"

……

On the other side, in the tent behind the Japanese pirates, an oil lamp gave off a faint light. Xue Kang was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head bowed, thinking about something.

At this time, the voice of his subordinates came from outside:
"Master, I have something to ask to see you."

Hearing this, Xue Kang raised his red eyes and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, three figures walked in from the outside.

In addition to the men who spoke just now, there are two other people covered in black robes. Under the dim light in the tent, they can't see their true colors at all.

But even so, Xue Kang recognized one of them at a glance.

He stood up in disbelief, and asked tremblingly with wide red eyes: "Miao Ling?"

The short one among the two mysterious men took off his hood upon hearing the words, revealing his true face. It was the Miao Ling that Xue Kang was talking about.

"elder brother…"

Just now, Wang Gingquan and Miao Ling sneaked out of the city, but as soon as they escaped the patrolling guards, they were spotted by a pirate who came out to pee.

A cold light flashed in Wang Gangquan's eyes immediately, he wanted to strike directly, but unexpectedly Miao Ling recognized the other party, that person was Xue Kang's subordinate.

Xue Kang is different from Letu, he is not a scheming and vicious person, on the contrary, because of his generosity and righteousness, his subordinates are loyal to him.

You know, the wound on his arm was not all caused by his mistakes, part of it was also caused by his subordinates.

The Water Bandit Gang has strict rules. If a serious mistake is made, those above the head of the hall will be punished with three knives and six holes.

In order to save his subordinates who made mistakes, Xue Kang had been tortured more than once for his subordinates, and he was tortured three times and six times. This also made his prestige in the gang far surpassed that of the other hall masters.

Therefore, after discovering Miao Ling and Miao Ling, this subordinate did not immediately report to the leader Le Tu, but brought them to Xue Kang.

……

"Miao Ling, are you alive?"

Until now, Xue Kang still feels unreal. He asked many people this afternoon, but the answers he got were all the same.

Miao Ling lowered her head and gave an "um" without saying anything unnecessary.

Seeing this, Wang Gingquan couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Earlier, Miao Ling had already told him about her and Xue Kang's experiences, and he didn't feel much at the time.But looking at it now, the feeling between these two people is not just brother and sister.

Xue Kang glanced at Miao Ling who bowed his head silently, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, but he immediately covered it up.

"Who is this?"

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Gangquan at the side with a slightly guarded tone.

Seeing this, Wang Gangquan took off his hood, revealed his true face and said:
"My surname is Wang, and I come from Andingwei City. I came here tonight because I want to talk to Hall Master Xue about something."

"Talking about things? Are you not afraid that I will arrest you as a spy?" Xue Kang said with a look of displeasure.

Wang Gangquan smiled when he heard the words, and said with a calm expression:
"Miss Miao has already told me about the matter between you two. According to my superficial experience, Hall Master Xue is not the kind of ungrateful person."

"Joke, where is your kindness to Xue?"

"One, I saved Ms. Miao and got injured because of it; two, I risked my life overnight to send Ms. Miao back. For these two points, I can't even talk about kindness. Is there finally a favor?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Gingquan stared at Xue Kang opposite him with piercing eyes.

In his opinion, the other party is a person who can risk his life to repay a favor, and he will never do anything ungrateful.

At least, he won't have to worry about his life here, which is also the reason why he dared to break into the enemy's camp alone.

Sure enough, Xue Kang's next words verified Wang Gangquan's conjecture:
"Xue is not someone who owes favors, tell me your conditions."

"It's very simple, I want to ask Hall Master Xue to help me kill someone."

"Kill who?"

"The leader of your clan, Letu."

Wang Gangquan said it word by word, ignoring the fact that the other party's face was getting worse and worse.

Although Xue Kang expected the other party's words, he didn't expect him to really dare to say it.

Anyone with a little brain should know that saying such things in front of him is undoubtedly asking for his own death.

But as the other party said, he is not an ungrateful person, he can't kill the other party with just one sentence, killing a person who has been kind to him.

"It's best to give me a reason not to kill you." Xue Kang narrowed his eyes, and there was a murderous look in them.

Miao Ling on the side couldn't help being startled, she knew her brother too well, and his current expression was really moved to kill.

Facing the murderous Xue Kang, Wang Gangquan still turned a blind eye and continued to test the opponent's bottom line:
"Master Xue doesn't need to be like this. You give me a chance now, it means that you are hesitating, and if you hesitate, it means that you really have this idea. All your excuses are just covering up, covering up the treacherous thoughts in your heart!"

Wang Gingquan's words were astonishing, and Miao Ling on the side immediately covered his eyes when he heard it. This guy was clearly jumping back and forth on the verge of death, and said "Come and kill me, you bastard" while jumping.

Sure enough, when Xue Kang heard Wang Gingquan's words, the veins in his neck suddenly popped up, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the knife holder on the side, which was his weapon.

I don't know if it was because the lights in the room were too dark, but Wang Gingquan seemed to be blind. He took out a folding fan from his pocket, opened it with a "shua", and continued without haste:

"Forgive me for being unreasonable, what I said just now is just a test, Master Xue must not take it to heart."

His words seemed to be apologizing, but he didn't admit his mistake at all.

Xue Kang was trying to restrain his anger at this time, just now, after his eyes accidentally caught Miao Ling's worried expression, he understood that she didn't want the person in front of him to die.

"What do you want to test?" Xue Kang continued to ask in a deep voice.

"To test whether Section Master Xue is really as I guessed, he really won't take action against his benefactor."

"Stop talking nonsense, just ask if you have any requirements, but within my ability."

"Not in a hurry."

Wang Gangquan sat down on the chair while talking.

"Let me tell a story to Hall Master Xue."

Wang Gingquan raised his head and glanced at Xue Kang, and then continued on his own:
"Once upon a time there was an anti-Japanese martyr who stood up resolutely when his hometown was invaded, led hundreds of his men, and fought fiercely against the Japanese pirates.

Although no one asked him to do it, he did it anyway. He wanted to protect his hometown.

During this battle, he took in many orphans who were homeless due to the war, and selected a few of them as adoptive sons.

After the Japanese pirates were driven away, he returned to smuggling. Unfortunately, in those years, the government had strictly investigated and smuggling was not easy, so he reached out to the merchants and became a water bandit collecting protection fees.

But the few money he received for the protection fee was not enough for him to support hundreds of brothers, so gradually, he gave up the bottom line and became a water bandit through and through—robbing and looting, doing all kinds of crimes.

Later, either influenced by power or driven by interests, he gradually assembled his own armed forces, and the number increased from a few hundred at the beginning to nearly 3000. Even the local government could not resist him.

This person also has good thoughts in his heart at the beginning, but now he is full of evil.

The adoptive sons he adopted when he was young have also become his tools to commit crimes.

Until one day, one of them was regarded as an abandoned son..."
