Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Qin's tone was calm, but there was no hint of joking in it.

"The Giant Kun Gang will still operate as a water gang on the surface, continuing to transport goods and follow the usual methods of the underworld."

"Secretly, you must do three things for me."

"First, we need to find out all the water forts, docks, shipyards, and salt routes along the Yangtze River."

"Second, reorganize the fleet and train men who can fight."

"Third, establish a news line from Sichuan to Yangzhou, and then to Jiangnan and Haikou."

Yun Yuzhen listened very attentively.

The more she listened, the more she realized that Qin Han didn't want a giant Kun gang.

What he wanted were the eyes, ears, and knife of the Yangtze River.

Qin Han continued, "As for money and provisions, I will provide them."

"I can also repair weapons and armor."

"The shipwrights, accountants, and training methods will all be taken care of and arranged later."

"Your position remains unchanged; the Giant Kun Gang will still be under your control."

"But the rules need to be changed."

Yun Yuzhen immediately stood up and knelt before Qin Han.

"Please give your instructions, young master."

Qin Han looked at her.

"First, those who betray their Lord will die."

"Secondly, those who plunder the people shall be put to death."

"Third, those who collude with foreign enemies will be executed."

Yun Yuzhen lowered her head and said, "This servant has remembered."

Qin Han said, "If you can do that, the Giant Kun Gang will not only survive, but will also become the number one water gang in the world."

The number one water gang in the world.

These words struck Yun Yuzhen with tremendous weight.

Having led the Giant Kun Gang for many years, she naturally wanted to expand it further.

No matter how powerful a gang is, it still has to consider the whims of the imperial court, the major powers, and the strong.

All she ever wanted was to live a decent life in the cracks.

Today, Qin Han is offering her a different path.

Yun Yuzhen raised her head.

"Can you really do it, young master?"

Qin Han countered, "Do you think the Dugu family can do that?"

Yun Yuzhen did not answer.

The Dugu family could provide her with a powerful backer, but they were merely using the Giant Kun Gang as a front.

Qin Han put down his teacup.

"I don't like repeating promises."

"You only need to remember one thing."

"With loyalty, the Giant Kun Gang is ten times stronger than before."

"Having developed a divided heart..."

The words were left unsaid, but the meaning was more direct.

Yun Yuzhen lowered her head, her forehead almost touching the floor.

"This humble servant dares not."

The cabin was quiet for a moment.

Yun Yuzhen did not get up.

She knelt forward a few steps, came to Qin Han's side, and raised her hand to add tea for him.

She then took off her hairpin and placed it on the table.

Her long hair fell over her shoulders.

"Young master."

Yun Yuzhen's voice was much lower than before.

"Gui Gongzi of the Giant Kun Gang".

"This humble servant also belongs to the young master."

Qin Han did not speak immediately.

Yun Yuzhen looked up at him, a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

"It's not that I'm shameless."

"After today, the Dugu family will surely take revenge, and Du Fuwei will not give up on the Giant Kun Gang."

"If I want to live, the Giant Kun Gang must live too."

"But I want you to know even more that I didn't just trade the Giant Kun Gang for protection."

"I'm willing to stake it all on."

Qin Han reached out and lifted her chin.

Yun Yuzhen did not dodge.

Her face was extremely beautiful. The hardships of life had not diminished her charm; instead, they had added a touch of maturity to her allure.

Qin Han looked at her for a moment.

"You can take what I just said as a joke. Have you thought it through?"

Yun Yuzhen said softly, "I've thought it through."

Qin Han said, "I have no shortage of women around me."

Yun Yuzhen's eyes trembled slightly, but she did not back down.

"I will live up to your expectations and will certainly not let you down, young master."

"I will manage the boats on the Yangtze River for you, and I will also manage my own heart."

Qin Han smiled.

"Then get up."

Yun Yuzhen stood up, took the initiative to approach Qin Han, and took off his outer robe.

The red candles flickered.

The river water laps against the boat.

The lights in the main cabin were turned off very late that night.

Some things don't need to be said to outsiders.

Some acts of submission need not be written down.

……

As dawn broke, a thin mist rose over the river.

When Yun Yuzhen woke up, she was covered with a brocade quilt.

After a moment of stunned silence, she realized that she was leaning against Qin Han's chest.

All the memories from last night flooded back, and my face suddenly felt hot.

She had been in charge of a gang in the martial arts world for many years, and had seen too many men's eyes and heard too many unpleasant words.

But when she actually got to this point, she realized that she was far less adept than outsiders had imagined.

Qin Han looked down. "Awake?"

Yun Yuzhen responded softly, unusually not daring to look up.

Qin Han pinched her chin, his tone teasing.

"The courage of Chief Yun last night was much greater than it is now."

Yun Yuzhen's face turned even redder.

"Young master also said..."

"I'm already this old, and you still make fun of me, young master."

Qin Han laughed and said, "I just didn't expect that you were still a virgin."

Yun Yuzhen buried her face in his chest and said in a muffled voice, "Women who make a living on the water, if they don't have some ruthlessness, they would have been taken advantage of long ago."

Qin Han stopped teasing her and tidied her disheveled long hair.

"Do your job well from now on."

"If you are obedient, you will receive many things in the future."

Yunyu is a very pragmatic woman; these words are more effective than any sweet talk.

She leaned in and kissed Qin Han on the cheek.

"Young master, there is one more thing I need to report."

Qin Han leaned against the soft pillow.

"explain."

Yun Yuzhen toned down her gentle demeanor and became serious.

"Dugu Ce came here not just to swallow up the Giant Kun Gang."

"He also wants to use the giant Kun to help him find something."

Qin Han asked, "The Yang Gong Treasure Trove?"

Yun Yu was startled.

"Does the young master already know?"

Qin Han said calmly, "A person like Dugu Ce will not act without self-interest."

"He doesn't need to board the ship himself, just for the sake of the Giant Kun Gang."

"For the eldest son of the Dugu family to personally appear, accompanied by Xue Dao Sou and three innate swordsmen, there must be something even bigger behind him."

Yun Yuzhen's respect deepened.

"Young master guessed correctly."

"What he's looking for is Yang Gong's treasure trove."

Qin Han sat up.

"How did the Dugu family get their sights on them?"

Yun Yuzhen straightened the brocade quilt and said in a low voice, "This matter is related to the two boys."

"One is named Kou Zhong, and the other is named Xu Ziling."

Qin Han's eyes flickered slightly.

The two dragons finally appeared.

Yun Yuzhen, unaware of Qin Han's subtle change, continued, "About a year ago, I saw them in the Yangzhou area."

"Back then, they were just two street kids, very slick and cunning."

"Later I discovered that they were hiding a great secret: the two of them had obtained the Taoist classic, the Longevity Manual."

"What's even more coincidental is that they also knew clues about Yang Gong's treasure vault."

Yun Yuzhen's tone was tinged with annoyance as she spoke.

"My plan was to take them on as apprentices and keep them on the ship to slowly extract information from them."

"Those two little bastards were as slippery as eels. They didn't stay on my boat for long before they stole it and ran away under cover of night."

"My men have been chasing them for days, but they haven't even caught a glimpse of them."

Qin Han wanted to laugh when he heard this. Although the plot had changed somewhat, this was something that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling would do.

Yun Yuzhen gritted her teeth.

"Not long ago, my people got the information."

"They went to Jianghuai and even became godfathers of Du Fuwei."

"Kou Zhong has now made a name for himself in the Jianghuai Army and is called the Young Marshal by some people."

"Xu Ziling has been less active, but his martial arts have improved rapidly. He is no longer the street urchin he used to be."

Qin Han asked, "Where did Dugu Ce learn this?"

Yun Yuzhen said, "There's a traitor in the Giant Kun Gang. The news was probably passed on by Mai Jing and a few others."

"Dugu Ce is forcing me to submit today. On the surface, he wants the fleet and waterways, but in reality, he wants me to send people to keep an eye on Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling."

He suspected that the entrance to Yang Gong's treasure vault was near Yangzhou.

"And Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are probably the people who are closest to the secret of the treasure vault right now."

Qin Han put his arm around Yun Yuzhen's fragrant shoulder, smelled her unique scent, and noticed that she was breathing rapidly.

The two began their review for the day...

"That's impossible. This news must have been deliberately leaked by Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling."

As he spoke, he thought to himself: The original story should have mentioned that Yang Gong's treasure trove was located in Chang'an.
