Chapter 443 To dig out more information
They would gather here, attempting to rebel against the rulers and seek dominance over the big city.
The three are the "Wolf Claw" in the South, the "Iron Rod Gang" in the East, and the "Tiger Faction" in the West.
After infiltrating, the three factions discovered that their goals were similar. After careful consideration, they decided to form an alliance to fight against the common enemy.
However, their alliance is limited to the common goal of overthrowing the ruler. Once successful, they will immediately turn against each other and try to eliminate their competitors to fight for ultimate control.
Both sides knew it very well but could do nothing about it. Their current strength was not enough to shake the Qin Dynasty. Only by forming an alliance could they achieve their goal.
The three factions each have their own concerns and maintain a fragile alliance.
Today these three factions pose a major threat to existing gangs.
Their alliance is strong and real, while they have only won over two weaker organizations on their own side.
With such a huge disparity in power, it was almost impossible to win over the other party and make them surrender. How much influence was needed to make them surrender? This made Li Zerui fully aware of the difficulty of the challenge.
Since it is wishful thinking to expect them to become your wings, you have to consider an alliance.
If it is not possible to recruit them, then cooperation is undoubtedly the best option left.
However, under the current situation, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the initiative of the alliance falls into the hands of the other party, which determines whether the other party will invest more or we will bear more in the cooperation.
In the long run, if it is always your brothers fighting on the front line, what you will lose is not only your strength but also your own base.
In this way, the opponent will eventually swallow up your power with just one blow, and years of hard work will be wasted.
As the leader of the thieves, how could he be willing to let this happen? He had endured humiliation for many years, and now that he was only one step away from his ultimate goal, he would never give up his hard work easily.
Understanding the enemy is the next step.
So he immediately ordered several of his capable generals, together with Zhang Liang, to go to the enemy's territory to find out their intentions so as to make adequate preparations.
After receiving the order, Zhang Liang and several capable brothers acted quickly.
In order to avoid suspicion, they even disguised themselves before setting off.
Intelligence shows that three forces are concentrated in the southern part of the city.
So they hurried through the streets and alleys.
When they arrived at their destination, several people from the enemy camp were already waiting there. As soon as they saw them arrive, they immediately went forward to greet them.
After some polite words, the topic immediately turned to the core area - the area controlled by the three forces.
They opened several casinos and taverns on the edge of their territory to hide their true power. These mixed places are often the centers where various information is intertwined.
They walked straight into the casino. The entry of a group of unfamiliar faces attracted the attention of the casino guards, who were on high alert to prevent any trouble.
The people present exchanged glances and decided to collect intelligence in the casino first, and then find the right time to negotiate an alliance with the other party's leader.
It doesn't matter if the guards notice you, they have no ill intentions and just want to lure out the enemy leader to launch the next move.
Everyone sat down and pretended to gamble to hide their true intentions, while Zhang Liang took a small amount of gold and silver and sat in the dice area, placing the chips casually, while secretly paying attention to the people around him and the people standing in the casino.
Most of the people standing are protecting the casino owner. The owner is often nowhere to be seen, and they are responsible for maintaining order. No fraud can escape their eyes.
However, in addition to some mighty men in the crowd, there was also a tall and thin man who did not fit in. Standing among the crowd, he stood out extremely.
Zhang Liang made eye contact with him and immediately realized that this man was no ordinary character. The aura in his eyes revealed that he had taken several lives.
But in such a small and insignificant gang, Zhang Liang found it hard to understand why such a small figure could also be stained with blood.
The thin man felt Zhang Liang's gaze and looked back at him. After the two looked at each other, Zhang Liang immediately turned away. It was not because he was afraid, but because he did not want to attract too much attention from this person.
After all, he was only on this trip to gather information, so it would be better to keep a low profile, otherwise it might arouse the enemy's vigilance or even suspicion.
The thin man also noticed something unusual through his eyes. He had noticed them as early as when this group of people entered.
But he didn't care at first. Even if there were twice as many people, they wouldn't be able to cause trouble in this area.
But his gaze just now revealed that this person was not simple.
His deep eyes revealed determination, and even his murderous aura could not make this man tremble.
This should not have happened, and anyone who saw him should have been terrified.
However, the person in front of him was not only fearless, but also had a mysterious calmness in his eyes.
He couldn't see through this person, which gave him a sense of crisis and made him increasingly suspicious of the true motives of Zhang Liang and his gang, thus always keeping an eye on their movements.
Although all this was within Zhang Liang's expectations, he was not disturbed.
It doesn't matter if he pays more attention, his only purpose in this trip is to understand the enemy's internal structure.
Once his goal is achieved, he will abandon this disguised identity and return to his true self.
Just from the layout of a few casinos and taverns, Zhang Liang had roughly guessed the scale of the enemy's lineup.
But he chose to stay in order to dig out more information.
He rolled the dice again and won the full board again. He had never played the game before, but he still won. This made Zhang Liang more curious about gambling.
With the mentality of winning more, he raised the stakes...
"Six, three, five, all in!" As the dice shaker shouted, Zhang Liang was surprised to find that he had won again. Oh my god, what kind of luck is this? A novice dice player won three times in a row, even he was surprised.
But he just didn't believe in fate, and he bet all the money he won on a big number with a small probability.
"Three, six, four, the total is thirteen!" When the result was revealed, Zhang Liang touched his head awkwardly and smiled bitterly. What the hell was this? He actually won again.
Originally, I just wanted to lose quickly so that I could make the next move, but keeping a low profile is extremely difficult at this moment. I can only pretend to be indifferent and endure those envious eyes.
"That's amazing, big brother, you can bet with such odds. If I had this money, I could spend it lavishly for a while!"
"I'm telling you, I've seen him hit the target several times in a row. He must be an expert. He can guess the number just by listening to the sound. Otherwise, how can he hit the target every time?"
"Shit, is he cheating? Let's follow him and see if we can win again."
The crowd gathered and many people gathered around, staring at Zhang Liang, the "gambling legend" who seemed to be invincible.
The thin man who was watching the scene also came over and blended into the crowd to observe whether Zhang Liang was cheating. Otherwise, if such a huge sum of money was won so easily, the boss would definitely not be able to report back when he returned.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Liang was unable to extricate himself. If he left at this moment, it would only make people more suspicious. He could only force himself to continue fighting.
