But it was said that the person who caused the two nuns to faint in the woods for a few days was sacred, it turned out that this person was called Shi Liang, and it was Jiang Nanchun and Ren Baichuan's accomplices, they had been bounty hunters together for several years, and they could be described as old partners. However, a few months ago, they joined a mysterious organization called the Illumination Sect, which has not been established for a long time, but it is ambitious, and their goal is to dominate the entire Tongming Continent.

That day, Shi Liang rushed to Wangxi City according to the plan to meet Jiang Mianchun and Ren Baichuan, and happened to meet two female nuns washing clothes by the stream on the way, he suddenly had a heart attack and stepped forward to tease the two female nuns, but was angrily reprimanded by the two, Shi Liang was angry and threw the two into the woods a few miles away, originally planned to rain in the woods, but the sky was not beautiful, and suddenly it rained heavily, Shi Liang suddenly lost all interest, and hurriedly launched his body to find a place to shelter from the rain.

When the rain stopped, Shi Liang continued to look towards Xicheng, and found his companions Jiang Nanchun and Ren Baichuan in the agreed inn. Jiang Nanchun said: "Brother Shi, what instructions do you have for coming to the sect this time?"

Shi Liang said: "Yes, the sect elder instructed us to lurk in Wangxi City, and by the way, find out the various forces in the city, his old man said that although this place is remote, the geographical location is very important, and he will personally go out in a few days, and then we will cooperate with the brothers in the sect to take this place." ”

Jiang Nanchun said: "I see, it seems that we will be busy next, as far as I know, the biggest force in Wangxi City is only afraid of Yaowutang, there are hundreds of skilled disciples there, a few days ago I and Brother Ren and a few disciples of Yaowutang have passed, their strength is not weak." ”

Shi Liang said: "In this way, if we fight with them in the future, with the current number of people in our sect, I am afraid that it will not be the opponent of this Yaowu Hall." ”

Ren Baichuan said: "My brother's words are wrong, we are secretly in the dark, they are in the light, if we fight them now, they may not be opponents, but as long as we play a little trick, there are not a few powerful forces in this Wangxi City, as long as they can be included in their command, I am afraid that we will not be able to take a single Yaowutang at that time." ”

Shi Liangxi said: "It's still the eldest brother who is thoughtful, and the younger brother is ashamed." I don't know which force in the city does the eldest brother want to start with?"

Ren Baichuan said: "My eldest brother and I have already thought about this in the past few days, you have worked hard today, let's go have a few drinks first, and then it's not too late to discuss it." With that, the three of them walked out the door. The three of them found a restaurant to drink, and because they had important matters to discuss, they specially asked for a private room that no one disturbed. The wine and food were quickly served, and the three of them drank happily, and after three rounds of wine, Shi Liang said: "Big brother, second brother, now that we have drunk and eaten, is it time to talk about business?"

Jiang Nanchun said: "That's right, it's time to get down to business." My second brother and I have been walking around this Wangxi City in the past few days, and found that the martial arts in this city are very heavy, among which the Huiwu Gate has held martial arts fights for many years, and all the good kung fu players in the city will go there to try it, and we can take the opportunity to recruit some useful people. ”

Shi Liang said: "Big brother's plan is very clever, we are now the time to employ people, if these martial arts masters can be used by us, then our power will naturally grow stronger." ”

Jiang Nanchun said: "That's right, without further ado, from tomorrow onwards, we will try to recruit some people." ”

In the following days, the three of them used various means to coerce and lure many local experts to their use, and soon organized a force of dozens of soldiers and horses, for which they deliberately built a camp on the outskirts of the city. With the abundance of soldiers and horses, the resulting daily expenses have risen sharply, and there is not much left under the sharp consumption of the entanglement brought by Jiang Nanchun.

Faced with such a dilemma, the three began to think hard about how to solve it.

Ren Baichuan said: "Big brother, it's not a way to go on like this, the money is only out and not in, you have to think of a way to get some silver." ”

Jiang Nanchun said: "People like us can only go to rob the house if they want silver, and now there are seventy or eighty people in this village, all of whom have some kung fu in their hands, if you want me to say that I will first go to Gulfstream Village more than ten miles away, I heard that it is a well-known rich village, I don't know what the second brother and the third brother think?"

Shi Liang said: "What the eldest brother said is very true, this is a good way to get money, let's go and take a trip and collect the spare money of those villagers." ”

The three of them had made up their minds, and then they ordered their men and horses to go towards Gulfstream Village, and in less than an hour, everyone arrived at the entrance of the village. Seeing a murderous group of people from unknown sources, the villagers of Gulfstream Village were very vigilant, and the young men from all families picked up the knives, guns and sticks at home and gathered at the entrance of the village, and Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang, and Zhong Jialei, who stayed here, were also among them, and the three of them went towards the entrance of the village together with Tian Dongming and Li Huan.

The two sides stood opposite each other at the entrance of the village, Jiang Nanchun sat on the horse and said: "Fellow villagers, in Xia Jiangnanchun, I took the liberty of bringing my brothers to visit today, just because the village has been short of grain and grass recently, and I heard that your village is rich in money and grain, I don't know if I can lend some to Jiang?"

As soon as this remark came out, it suddenly exploded among the villagers of Gulfstream Village, and all kinds of voices of discussion arose, most of them scolded Jiang Nanchun for being shameless and no different from bandits and robbers.

Seeing that the villagers saw through their tricks, Jiang Nanchun's face was still calm, in fact, he had already made a plan, if the villagers obediently obeyed the order, it would naturally be the best, if they dared not follow, Jiang Nanchun was ready to come hard, in the face of a group of ordinary villagers who did not have any strength, he was full of confidence in his ability.

The villagers were in a mess for a while, and most of them were unwilling to hand over the money and food they had saved so hard to others, and He Fu, as the village head, walked out of the crowd and said: "Master Jiangzhai, you better go to borrow grain elsewhere, we don't have any surplus grain in Gulfstream Village." ”

Jiang Nanchun snorted coldly: "Since we are here, there is no reason to return empty-handed, if you are obedient today, it will be easy to say, if you are disobedient, don't blame me for being ruthless." With a wave of his big hand, he signaled his dozens of soldiers and horses to pull out the weapons on their bodies.

Seeing that the words had already been said to this, the villagers were furious, and they clenched their weapons in their hands and prepared to compete with their opponents. In the crowd, Zhong Jialei unsheathed his long sword and said: "Damn, this gang of dog thieves surnamed Jiang is too deceitful, this is clearly about to rob hard." ”

Yi Qingfeng said: "As the saying goes, the weak eat the strong, and there is no way to meet this group of tigers and wolves, and when we will make a move, I am afraid that the villagers are not opponents, and we should not be too strong, after all, there are many thieves in this group, let's bear with it first, and it will not be too late to find an opportunity in the future." ”

The atmosphere on the field dropped to freezing point between the words, and a big battle was about to break out. Jiang Nanchun's face was murderous and said: "It seems that it is not possible to give you some color and take a look, brothers, let these fools see our methods." As he spoke, he led a group of his men to rush towards the villagers.

Not to be outdone, the villagers fought back under the leadership of He Fu, and the two sides fought fiercely at the entrance of the village. However, the villagers are not martial arts practitioners after all, and fighting with these dog thieves who have been licking blood on the knife for many years is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and they are beaten back in a moment, and some villagers are even injured in the fight, and the blood does not stop, and the scene looks very bloody.

Seeing that these robbers were so good, some timid villagers were afraid, and they asked He Fu to stop fighting, and He Fu also knew that if he continued to fight, he would only lose more, so he said loudly: "Master Jiangzhai, according to what you said, we are willing to borrow money and grain." ”

Jiang Nanchun said with a smile on his face: "Very good, that's right." Jiang's seventy or eighty brothers are waiting to eat, your village is rushing to pack 50 quintals of rice, 100 cattle and sheep, 500 taels of silver, Jiang has to count the goods before dark, if they can't get it together, these brothers under my command can only do it themselves. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion among the villagers, but the opponents were all demons who killed people without blinking, and the villagers had to be slaughtered. After a period of scraping together, Jiang Nanchun's money was finally ready, and seeing that the money and food were in hand, Jiang Nanchun and many robbers showed a satisfied smile. Then they loaded the money and grain into a cart and swaggered back to the cottage.

Looking at the figure of the robbers walking away, Yi Qingfeng, Jingyang and others gritted their teeth with hatred, Tian Dongming and Li Huan's eyes were almost bursting with fire, and they said angrily: "This gang of people who have suffered a thousand knives, some of the money and food that the villagers have worked hard to save have been snatched away by these beasts, but we can't help at all, it's really useless." He turned his head and walked away with a grunt.

Yi Qingfeng and the others hurriedly followed: "Don't be angry, you two, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and one day these dog thieves will pay the price for the sins they committed." ”

The five of them walked and discussed, and gradually moved away from the village.
