But today it seems, his sister is no ordinary person either.
The battle at Black Bear Mountain was fought beautifully; no wonder Little Chu dares to head north to the Capital City with peace of mind.”
He clicked his tongue in admiration, “Still, when Little Chu returns from the Capital City, I’ll have to make him down a few drinks, this time I really sweated for his West Mountain Hall.”
Chu Xisheng’s mission to safeguard Father and Son Zuo Family into the Capital City, naturally, there’s nothing much to say about it.
Anyone who knew of the deed would express admiration and praise his sense of justice.
Within the Iron Banner Gang, everyone spoke highly of Chu Xisheng’s character.
However, after Chu Xisheng left, the situation faced by West Mountain Hall had caused Tie Xiaosheng a few sleepless nights, genuinely worrying and scaring him for a while.
Tie Xiaosheng could not let this festival passed without addressing it.
Iron Madman was also astonished, “When I first saw Chu Yunyun, I felt she was extraordinary.
Yet, I did not expect that at such a young age, she would be so capable.
This girl’s talent is surely enough to support West Mountain Hall’s doorstep; she should not be regarded as an ordinary woman.”
He then chuckled lightly, “However, West Mountain Hall’s victory today is attributed to Little Chu’s strategic planning ten days ago, the ability to command and strategize.
From this point onward, the 7500 pairs of bows and blades of West Mountain Hall are fully at his command.
This time he gave me another tremendous surprise.”
“Song Feng Sword” Lin Shi slightly furrowed his brows, “I’m only worried about the identity and motives of that Fifth Grade demon clan Martial Cultivator with unknown combat strength; we must be on guard.
In addition, with such strength of West Mountain Hall, the Iron Banner Gang may face an imbalance of power in the future.”
In fact, he was more inclined to split West Mountain Hall—
But Iron Banner Gang has never had such a rule.
If Headquarters directly took over the gang members and assets of West Mountain Hall, then the fellowship among the fifteen Outer Halls of Iron Banner Gang and its allied thousand boat owners would disperse immediately.
Lin Shi knew Iron Madman wouldn’t agree, so he didn’t bother bringing it up.
Iron Madman indeed laughed it off, “What are you saying?
Little Chu and West Mountain Hall are my wings and arms; I could only wish for more people like Little Chu in the gang—the more, the better.
Otherwise, when can I pull out from the mire of Xiushui County?
Besides, Little Chu’s character can be seen from how he escorted Father and Son Zuo into the Capital City this time.”
Lin Shi was left speechless.
Those of us from Jianghu place great importance on loyalty.
A character like Chu Xisheng is the most admired by people.
In terms of influence, even the great victory of West Mountain Hall at Black Bear Mountain is not as significant as Chu Xisheng’s journey to the Capital City this time.
Nowadays, the people of Jianghu in Xiushui County take pride in Chu Xisheng.
In their spare time, they talk about Chu Xisheng, discuss his deeds, and praise his character.
Countless youths from the county look up to him as a role model and are eager to join West Mountain Hall, to serve under the heroic Chu Xisheng.
To say such a person harbors evil intentions, Lin Shi himself does not believe it.
Iron Madman turned his head towards Tie Xiaosheng, “West Mountain Hall’s dispatch of troops to Xiushui was to help us deter the county.
That clever girl saw through the plight of our Iron Banner Gang.
We should not disregard her goodwill; later you’ll lead Xuanfeng Hall along with my Iron Banner Hall to strike upstream and wrestle with the Seventeen Linked Wharves again.”
Last time our Iron Banner Gang had defeated the Seventeen Linked Wharves, we failed to inflict fundamental damage to them.
This power, entrenched in Xunyang County for over a decade, has profound foundations, and its Dragon Leader Ren Daoheng is also a formidable figure.
After that major battle, the Seventeen Linked Wharves changed their strategy; they no longer attempted to have a decisive battle with Iron Banner Gang.
Instead, leveraging their manpower advantage, they continued to harass by using fast boats to travel downstream, robbing the merchant ships of Iron Banner Gang.
Iron Banner Gang, as its main force was restrained in Xiushui County, was helpless against them.
Their situation seemed like one of expanding territory, but in actuality, it was quite desperate.
However, after today, the situation will undergo a significant change, and the dynamic of offense and defense is about to be reversed.
Tie Xiaosheng agreed readily, and with a sneer, he laughed coldly, “Those scoundrels of the Seventeen Linked Wharves, this time I must catch a bunch of them and chop them up to feed the dogs!”
