Chương 187: Countermeasures

Qinghe City, South Gate. Hearing the earth-shattering cheers from the surrounding crowd, Song Que felt incredibly satisfied. Regardless of what happened next, today, the prestige of Song Que and the Fierce Tiger Gang had been firmly established! In the Qinghe area, they had successfully left the impression of being the leading faction and a force for justice! A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little!

The Party and Uncle Ho had given everyone a profound lesson on the importance of the people's hearts! Boss Song naturally understood this well. Although his belly was bursting with laughter, on the surface, Song Que maintained an indifferent expression, unfazed by honor or disgrace, as he bowed and thanked the commoners:"I dare not accept such praise. This is what we ought to do! Thank you, fellow townsfolk, for coming to support us!"

Saying that, he dashingly led his group of Fierce Tiger Gang members back in a majestic procession! As they passed, the crowd unconsciously parted to make way. Many admiring onlookers couldn't help but applaud and give thumbs up! This made the Fierce Tiger Gang members unconsciously puff out their chests, a sense of pride spontaneously arising within them!... On the city wall. With Song Que causing such a huge commotion, how could the people in the city not know?

Therefore, not long after he exited the city, the big shots of Qinghe heard the news and rushed over to observe. Seeing Grandee Song winning the hearts of the people, Xu Qing couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy:"I always knew he was a fierce tiger, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly! Unwittingly, the Fierce Tiger Gang has already grasped such terrifying strength! Truly, the younger generation is formidable!

As long as he survives this tribulation, I can guarantee that in the future, the entire martial world will have to make a small place for him!" This evaluation was incredibly high, but no one around felt it was undeserved.

"It's just that offending the Lingjiang Gang so easily isn't a wise move." Tie Feilong seemed to foresee a bleak and gloomy future for the Fierce Tiger Gang, shaking his head regretfully. Xu Zishan, however, disagreed with his view. Her gaze remained fixed on Song Que, her eyes flashing with peculiar light:"A martial artist should be like this: preferring to break rather than bend, preferring death to submission! Without a brave heart that advances despite all obstacles, one cannot go far on this path!

With Song Que's temperament and aptitude, he will absolutely not be ordinary! I have a premonition that the Lingjiang Gang will ultimately become nothing more than a stepping stone on his path! A trapped dragon ascending to heaven! This small pond of ours won't be able to hold him for long! I truly look forward to that day arriving soon!" Xu Qing, Tie Feilong, and the others couldn't help but be shocked by her words. At this moment, Song Que had already walked back to the city wall.

Seeing the few people on the tower, he leaped up.

"Lord Xu, Uncle Tie! This junior has caused trouble for everyone again!" These people were already numb to his ability to cause trouble. Besides gritting their teeth and sighing, what else could they say? Xu Zishan, on the other hand, was full of praise for Boss Song:"Brother Song's heroic actions just now truly made one's blood boil! This little woman is full of admiration! After today, ninety percent of the martial artists in Qinghe County will take pride in your Fierce Tiger Gang!

Zishan congratulates Brother Song in advance!"

"Zishan exaggerates!

'The greatest of heroes serves the country and the people!' If one learns martial arts but cannot step forward to protect a region, what is the point of learning them? Wouldn't it be better to hide in a corner and live a carefree life in the mountains and forests?" Boss Song never forgot to act tough; he could spout boastful words without needing a script! Sure enough, these people were all shocked by his broad-mindedness!

"The greatest of heroes serves the country and the people! Brother Song has great spirit! Zishan has learned much!" Xu Qing, Wu Tian, and the others also couldn't help but praise him and give thumbs up! Seeing this scene, Boss Song secretly rejoiced. But with many matters still pending in the Gang, he couldn't delay for too long, so he regretfully said:"I still have some matters to attend to! Lord Xu, Uncle Tie, Manager Yun, I will pay you a formal visit another day! This junior takes his leave first!"

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon. Saying that, he leaped down and left, leaving them with only a dashing back view in a moment's time.... Seeing the main character leave, Xu Zishan finally sighed regretfully, pulling Xu Qing and Tie Feilong aside to advise them:"Father, Uncle Tie. If you two want to win over this person, it is best to take action now!

'Adding flowers to brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather'! The Fierce Tiger Gang's situation looks worrisome, but this is exactly the best time to build a relationship with them! How you do it depends on your own resolve!" Xu Zishan merely offered a casual reminder; she didn't have the right to make the choice for them. After speaking, she turned to bid her father farewell:"Father, Uncle Tie, I am returning to the mountain gate now. I hope you will take my words to heart."

"Why in such a hurry? Stay a few more days before leaving. At the very least, you should inform your mother first!" Xu Zishan had actually been stimulated by Song Que! She wanted to return to the mountain gate to enter closed-door cultivation and train hard! How could she have any mind to rest and relax?! Therefore, facing Old Xu's reluctance, she shook her head very firmly.

"I will trouble you, Father, to inform Mother on my behalf! Your daughter won't be returning home! Cousin, Yu Niang, I will come back to find you two next time! Everyone, no need to see me off!" Seeing her leave so decisively without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qing could only smile wryly and shake his head. Waiting until his daughter had truly gone far, he turned to Tie Feilong.

"Brother Tie, I just received some fine tea in my manor. Why don't we head over and enjoy it together now?" Old Tie understood the implied invitation and naturally nodded readily:"Then I am blessed today! Nephew Shisheng, please help me escort Yu Niang home."

"Yes, Uncle Tie!" Xu Shisheng, eager for the opportunity, excitedly answered loudly. Ignoring these youths, Xu Qing and Tie Feilong, harboring bellies full of thoughts, quickly headed back to their manors.... On the other side. Not far away, Wu Tian and Yun Shan naturally drew close to each other because of their relationship with Song Que. Having witnessed everything Boss Song did today, the two elders couldn't help but look at each other and smile wryly. This kid truly knows how to cause trouble!

But the pain in the ass is that his aptitude is too f cking good! Every time we meet him, he's made jaw-dropping progress! *"Brother Wu, I still need to report this matter to the Headquarters, hoping to persuade the Family Head to step forward and mediate. Song Que was too impulsive this time! Du Ruhui is used to being overbearing; he likely won't let this matter go so simply."

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Yun! I also need to return and think about whether there's any way to ease this situation." Wu Tian also rubbed his forehead with a headache, sighed again with Old Yun, and then they went their separate ways.... Like a victorious general returning in triumph to the cheers of thousands of people, Boss Song returned to the Fierce Tiger Gang feeling as light as if he were walking on clouds! If he didn't have to maintain his image, his jaw might have cramped from smiling today!

A true man should be like this! Boss Song will be a great hero in the future! Meandering and dawdling for a long time, thoroughly enjoying the adoration of the masses before returning to the Discussion Hall, Boss Song looked down at the group of brainless Fierce Tiger Gang fans worshipping him and felt extremely satisfied!

"Brothers, everyone knows the cause and effect of today's events! The upcoming period will definitely be an extremely dangerous phase! We need everyone to work together with one heart to overcome this tribulation! If we make it through, naturally I don't need to say much; the entire surrounding area will belong to us! But it is also possible that our Fierce Tiger Gang will be destroyed, and everyone will face danger because of it! I am not afraid; I will fight to the end!

But among the brothers, there will be those whose family circumstances mean they cannot put themselves in danger! Therefore, this Song understands everyone! If any brother wishes to leave the gang now, please just say the word; I will not hold it against you!"

"We swear to follow the Gang Leader to the death!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Good! I know everyone's heart! But there's no need to make such a hasty decision! Pass the word down to the brothers: I will give everyone half a day! Anyone who wishes to leave must report to the Internal Affairs Hall before tomorrow morning! After this deadline, I will consider everyone willing to advance and retreat together with the Fierce Tiger Gang! If anyone wants to back out then, don't blame this Song for not showing mercy! Hall Masters and Vice Hall Masters, stay behind.

The rest of you, go down and think it over carefully!"

"Obey your command! Gang Leader!" Waiting until everyone dispersed, leaving only the less than ten true core members of the Fierce Tiger Gang in the room, Song Que finally spoke solemnly.

"This is a crisis, but it is also a massive opportunity for us to develop! What the future holds depends on how we handle this matter today! Nie Feng, from now on, hand all your work over to Brother Shen! Find people to keep a close eye on the movements at the South Docks! The Lingjiang Gang people will definitely not let this matter go so easily! Fan Yiwang, you also go and assist him fully!"

"Yes! Young Master (Boss Song)!" Nie Feng and Fan Yiwang answered in unison.

"Brother Shen, I need a trustworthy unit of no less than fifty martial artists! I know this is difficult, but time is of the essence; I must trouble Brother Shen to arrange it quickly!"

"Rest assured, Young Master Song! This lowly one will definitely complete the task!"

"Very good! Brother Hong, the renovations at Plum Manor will proceed as usual. I'll trouble you to oversee this matter! Old Nie will explain the specific renovation plans to you."

"Rest assured, leave it to me." Zhong Hong nodded, guaranteeing.

"One more thing! Didn't you say there are many people who intend to join us? Send out the word now: tomorrow morning, this Gang Leader will meet with heroes from all walks of life! Those with shared ambitions can come and join the Gang; I will definitely entrust them with important tasks! True feelings are seen in adversity, and people's hearts are clear in times of hardship! What we need is not quantity, but true righteous individuals who can share joys and sorrows with the Fierce Tiger Gang!

Therefore, if anyone asks to leave the gang today, everyone shouldn't make things difficult for them. Let as many leave as they want! I won't feel the slightest pity for such people!" Hearing Song Que's words, everyone solemnly cupped their hands:"Yes! Gang Leader!"

"Alright, everyone go about your tasks! As for whatever Jiang Wuxia extorted from the Sea of Clouds Pavilion, Brother Hong, go find out and bring it to me! I am going to make a trip to find the Yun family now."

"Obey your command!"
