Chapter 12: Chess Pieces and Poison
"Hand over the hundred-year-old blood ginseng and spare your life!"
In the dark night, the low and hoarse, obviously deliberately disguised strange voice, like a crow's night cry, is chilling.
"Blood ginseng?"
Lu Chuan decisively confessed, reached out and took out a brocade box from his backpack, and threw it to the man in black without hesitation.
The existence that can slap him, a mid-ninth rank martial artist, into the air with one palm, is definitely a ninth-rank martial artist, and even an eighth-rank martial artist, and it is an existence that he can compete with now!
Even, desperately, there is no chance of victory.
Of course, there is a reason why he was slapped by the one-eyed bear before, but the strength is strong enough to wipe out any possibility of opportunism!
"Humph!"
The man in black was sure that there was blood ginseng in the brocade box, and turned his head to leave, but he didn't miss it at all.
"Hey!"
Lu Chuan sighed, feeling distressed.
Although it is impossible to tell the age of the blood ginseng, it can be seen that it is the most precious treasure in the Mad Tiger Gang's treasury, and there is no one.
Muscles and bones, blood marrow!
This blood ginseng must be a treasure useful for six-rank martial artists, not to mention that it has a hundred-year weight.
Fortunately, the man in black was only interested in blood ginseng, and he didn't take his life easily, otherwise......
"This taste ......"
Lu Chuan was about to leave, his nose fluttered a few times, the suspicious look in his eyes flashed, he took a deep look at the direction of the man in black leaving, and turned to go the other way.
The strength of the man in black is far from what he can contend with, even if he recognizes it, it is not good, it is better to digest what he has gained tonight in peace.
Although I really wanted to see how amazing the battle of the Eight Rank Martial Artists was, so as to accumulate experience for the future, Lu Chuan did not go after all.
Now this person with thin arms and thin legs, any person can easily squeeze him to death, it is really not appropriate to take risks!
Lewd development, muffled to make a fortune, is the king!
......
The Mad Tiger Gang station is in ruins under the light of the fire, and two of the most powerful people in Yangshan County are facing each other.
"What do you want?"
Hu Yong said with a gloomy face.
"Master Hu, Ming people don't say secret words, your eldest nephew's matter has been committed, I just need people!"
Zhang Youlu patted a scroll of letters in his hand, his face was calm, but his heart was extremely depressed.
Because, Hu Sandao ran away with the token, and found most of the evidence of smuggling between the Mad Tiger Gang and the grassland people, at most, he just pulled Hu Yong off the horse.
"Impossible!"
Hu Yong flatly refused.
"Huh!"
Zhang Youlu smiled playfully, "Master Hu, your eldest brother has been dead for many years, and you are just a side branch of the Hu family, and you have finally climbed to today's position, are you sure you want to abandon your good future for the sake of a bandit?"
"Xiaodao is my eldest brother's only son, I can't be sorry for him! Don't think that you will eat me, with these things, you can't move the official!"
"Really?"
Zhang Youlu didn't think it was a pestle, so he took a moment to say, "I know that there are people above Lord Hu, but now the relationship between the Great Jin and the grassland is getting worse and worse, and sooner or later there will be a battle."
Lord Hu doesn't care about his piety, doesn't he care about Ling Lang's future?"
"You ......"
Hu Yong's face was cloudy, obviously he was caught in the underbelly, "What do you want?"
"Master Hu is really a smart man! Since he is a smart man, he must know very well. ”
Zhang Youlu smiled lightly.
"It's too big a fuss, there's no way I'm going to do anything for you, at most...... Just let it go!"
"Haha, okay, Lord Hu is happy, as long as Lord Hu can open his eyes and close his eyes, the official guarantees that these things will disappear!"
Zhang Youlu nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said, "Lord Hu might as well think about it, cooperate with us, not to mention the steady progress, at least there will be a place for you in Liangzhou, so that you will not be trapped in the small Yangshan County."
Moreover, your son can also come to the border army in the future to experience, with Linglang's qualifications, he may not be able to fight for a bright future. ”
"Humph!"
Hu Yong snorted coldly and said with a gloomy face, "People, I will give it to you, but I want the life of that little beast, as for whether to cooperate in the future......
"It's just a cripple, as long as someone sends it, it will naturally follow Lord Hu's will!"
Zhang Youlu's figure paused slightly, and he frowned.
"Okay, I'll let the knife shoot at that time, whether I can catch someone or not depends on Lord Zhang's means!"
Hu Yong brushed his sleeves away.
......
The sky was bright, and the smoke was billowing in the city, and many people stopped to watch.
The shouting and killing in the middle of the night touched the hearts of many people, and they thought that there were homeless people and bandits attacking the city.
"The Mad Tiger Gang attacked and killed the border army Xiaoqi, and was wiped out by thousands of households!"
"The four King Kongs died twice and went to prison twice, and the gang leader Hu Sandao was seriously injured and is on the run!"
"More than 100 gangs, countless casualties!"
The news quickly spread all over Yangshan Town, ordinary people applauded, and the rest of the gang members all made turtles with shrunken heads.
Entrenched in Yangshan County for more than ten years, the Wind Tiger Gang, which all the gangs can't lift, is gone!
How not to be shocked?
But few people know that this battle is just a game between several top forces in Yangshan County, and they don't know where the mad tiger is hiding to lick its wounds.
At this time, among the yamen, Hu Yong and Zhang Youlu both had black faces.
The former is because the tools for accumulating money are gone, and the latter is because he has spent so much effort but has not done his best!
"Xiaoliangbao Xiaoqi Lu Chuan, meet Lord Zhang of Qianhu and Lord Hu of the county!"
After a short time, Lu Chuan was carried into the lobby.
"Lu Chuan, inform Lord Hu of the incident of last night as evidence in court!"
Zhang Youlu commanded.
"Yes!"
Lu Chuan has the strength to tell the beginning and the end one by one.
Of course, he didn't say anything about the ambush in advance, but happened to be training recruits, staying in his house for the night, and was attacked by the Mad Tigers, one-eyed bears and yellow dogs.
"Master Hu, the human and material evidence is here, now you can close the case, right?"
Zhang Youlu said.
"Hmph, I heard that one-eyed bear has copper skin and iron bones, and his strength is infinite, comparable to that of a nine-rank martial artist, how did you win this fang?"
Hu Yong asked unwillingly.
"Lord Qiyu, it is also a trick to bewitch this fang's one-eyed with lime powder, and when his strength is exhausted, he is tied with a rope, even so, he is still seriously injured by several people!"
Lu Chuan cried with a sad face, and said with palpitations, "Please also ask your lord to give a little more mercy for the sake of us and other people to eliminate harm!"
"Yes, this time, our border army has removed a major tumor for Yangshan County, and the various evidence found in it can be described as innumerable, and it has helped Lord Hu so much, presumably Lord Hu will not be stingy with a little compensity, right?"
Zhang Youlu said.
"This official will go to Bingzhou Mansion according to the facts!"
Hu Yong's mouth was like eating a fly, he was greasy, he glanced at Lu Chuan coldly, and withdrew from the hall with his sleeves.
"Haha!"
Zhang Youlu made no secret of his happiness and took Lu Chuan out of the yamen, "You did a good job this time, what reward do you want?"
"Don't dare, it's all thanks to your master's clever plan, otherwise...... Ahem!"
Lu Chuan arched his hand.
"It's rare to be proud of your achievements!"
Zhang Youlu bowed slightly, and said approvingly, "When the rest period is over, the whole army in the camp will be on the side, and there will be a fight as usual, if you can win, I will protect you with a general banner, even a hundred households." ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Lu Chuan took a deep breath and shook it to the end.
"Haha, work hard!"
Zhang Youlu patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder meaningfully and rode away.
"Heh, hit a stick to give a sweet date, and it's a flatbread...... Ahem!"
Lu Chuan got up slowly, wiped away the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, the cold light in his eyes flashed, and turned to his house.
first used a purple pudan to heal his wounds, then used it as a bait, cooperated with the border army to exterminate the Mad Tiger Gang, and now took out the so-called general flag and a hundred military positions.
Not surprisingly, there are still things to do for him.
If Lu Chuan is a real young man, he will be enthusiastic after listening to a few words of praise, and he may even sell his life to the other party.
It's a pity that he's not!
......
At the time of the third watch, Lu Chuan secretly purchased the second house.
"You have done a very good job in this matter, no accident, Zhang Youlu will fight with Hu Yong to the death!"
Ding Sanyi was like a ghost, silently entering Lu Chuan's room.
"Thanks to the secret support of the adults, the subordinates can accurately know the movements of the Mad Tiger Gang and calmly arrange traps and ambushes!"
Lu Chuan still didn't dare to take credit, and even took out a stack of silver tickets and handed it over, "This is what my subordinates got in the warehouse of the Crazy Tiger Gang, and it is a little bit of my subordinates' hearts!"
"Hehe, you're clever!"
Ding San didn't want to take it, but when it came to the numbers and thickness on the silver ticket, he naturally put it away.
"Without the care of adults, there would be no subordinates today!"
Lu Chuan took a deep look at the palm that was more than one circle larger than ordinary people, and became more and more respectful.
"Good!"
Ding San was very satisfied with Lu Chuan's attitude, and his tone was three points gentler than before, but it was still unquestionable, "That token, you have to get it back as soon as possible, and you must not lose it, you know?"
"Don't worry, my lord, Zhang Youlu has promised that in the next border army fight, I will be given a future, and then it will be my chance!"
Lu Chuan said respectfully.
"Yes, wait for this time, with your merits, even if you leave the border army, I will guarantee you a bright future, if you want to stay in the border army, someone will help you climb up!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Lu Chuan gave a deep salute, and when he got up, Ding San was already gone, and he suppressed the evil anger in his heart, and he couldn't move his cultivation for a while, and then took out a thin booklet and read it.
"Who?"
But after only looking at it for a while, the candle flame on the table flashed suddenly, and a throbbing rose in Lu Chuan's heart, but before the words could be spoken, a flower appeared in front of him, and a tingling pain under his ribs hit his body, and he couldn't move.
"No, it's a hidden weapon!"
Lu Chuan's heart was shocked, staring at the man in black who suddenly appeared.
Judging by his size, he is definitely not the person he saw last night.
"Hey, don't make a noise, or it's not good to scare the two of them!"
The man in black fed Lu Chuan a fishy sweet brown elixir and said with a smile.
"Ah......h
In an instant, Lu Chuan's whole body spasmed, convulsed and curled up into a ball, and it lasted for a long time, and the black-clothed man fed him another pill to stop the terrifying torture of ten thousand ants devouring their hearts.
"If you don't want them to die, be obedient, kill Hu Sandao the day after tomorrow, you must not leave your mouth alive, gain Zhang Youlu's trust, and then ......"
The man in black threw down a porcelain vase and dodged away, "One a day, enough for you for half a month, don't think about escaping, otherwise...... Hey, hey!"
"Hu Yong!"
Lu Chuan lay on his stomach on the ground, like a trapped beast roaring hoarsely and spitting out a cloud of fishy liquid. It was only by his size that he recognized the identity of the man in black!
