In a manor three miles north of the capital, thousands of Xuanyi Lingming priests have surrounded the three layers of the inner and outer three floors here, and one by one they are holding weapons and confronting the large groups of Jianghu guests in Zhuangzi.

Han Lu, the general of the Lingming Division, was sitting on the roof of the main courtyard hall at this moment, and beside him stood seven or eight subordinates such as Governor Chen Ruofeng.

In the courtyard, a man with a bronze mask was sitting upright on a sandalwood chair, and behind him were more than a dozen fierce and vicious Jianghu people, who were staring at Han Lu and the others on the eaves with anger.

At this time, the bronze mask spoke, his voice was very young and clear: "General Han, you have been surrounding me here for three hours, since you can't talk about it, why do you have to spend it? What is the point of you doing this?"

Han Lu sneered: "Faceless man, oh, I'm sorry, I've been used to dealing with you in the past few months, I should call you the young master of the Thunderbolt Hall, Du Qingyuan is." Isn't the purpose of you gathering a group of Jianghu forces that have been scattered by the Money Gang to gather in the capital is to prove to me Xuanyi that you are still very valuable, and that it is worth it for my Xuanyi to win you and the others together?

The bronze mask sighed: "It's better to call the Lower Faceling, who was killed by someone, but he was unable to take revenge, and he was as frightened as a lost dog in Tibet, and he had no face to call his original name anymore." We do have the meaning of taking refuge in Xuanyi, but taking refuge is not the same as buying a body, the price given by the Guigu Sword is too low, and the value of our own is extremely incompatible. ”

"Tsk, Du Qingyuan, I want to see the commander of my family, you don't have that qualification now. Lord Mo Du said, among your group of people, you are the most valuable, as for the others, no matter how prominent their reputation in the rivers and lakes was before, in my Xuanyi's opinion, they are just a group of dispensable rabble, well, more precisely, it should be a group of local chickens and tile dogs......"

As soon as Han Lu said this, he immediately angered those gangsters and others, and shouted one by one: "The surname Han, there are three battles with grandpa three hundred times, grandpa will teach you this pair of flowers Tai Sui!"

"Even if we are not the opponent of the money Shangguan, but it is not something that you can be humiliated by a martial arts junior, it is a big deal to break up, Lao Tzu is hopeless for revenge for life, and he is not subject to the bird anger of your Xuanyi!"

The list goes on.

Han Lu looked at their excited appearance, and smiled even more happily: "Look, look, it's not a rabble." ”

Speaking of this, Han Luqian stood up suddenly, and the big windbreaker was unfurled, and he said with a cross-eyed gaze: "To be honest, the reason why Han is here with you is really not because of how valuable you are in this group, but because my Xuanyi Left Overseer Mo Xi took a fancy to the gunpowder formula of the Thunderbolt Hall, as well as those martial arts classics related to gunpowder. ”

"As I said just now, the real value is this thunderbolt young master, and you, to my Xuanyi, are just dispensable incidentals, oh, wrong, not incidental, but cumbersome! If you want to take refuge in Xuanyi, it's best to put your posture a little lower, one by one, you really think that you are still the high-ranking helper, helmsman, hall master and other roles? I want to blind your dog's eyes! Chen Ruofeng!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"Pass the order down, attack, and give Ben General a flat manor here! Well, just don't hurt Young Master Du. ”

"No!"

As he spoke, Chen Ruofeng prepared to go down to give the order.

"Wait!"

Du Qingyuan got up from his chair and took two steps forward and said: "General Han, what we ask for is not too much, but we just want to attack and defend with Xuanyi, with Xuanyi as the backer, the gangs and factions have established a foothold in the five northern provinces, formed an alliance with each other, and jointly resisted the money gang. Forming an alliance with us at this time is also a great thing for your Xuanyi, why can't even this small request satisfy us?"

"Haha!" Han Lu laughed contemptuously: "Alliance? joke, just because you are also worthy of an alliance with Xuanyi? Don't look at who my Xuanyi's ally is? Shendao, Wanma, and Wudang faction have such qualifications, and the dignified Huashan faction is only worthy of giving me Xuanyi's hand, when Mrs. Shiyin celebrated her birthday last year, the martial arts Taidou Shaolin Temple that had already closed the mountain came over to give gifts with their faces, just because you are also qualified to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Xuanyi?"

"Du Qingyuan, do you think too highly of yourself? Thinking that you have the secret of the Thunderbolt Hall in your hands, my Xuanyi has set up another Benlei Hall, combined with my Xuanyi's Firearms Division, and you have already given you enough face to serve as the master of the Benlei Hall, and the rest of the people are assigned to the Blue and White Exploration Department and the Xuantu Division according to their respective affiliations, this is already a great kindness, such conditions, and what is not satisfied? There is a saying called inch by inch, it is talking about you people! Chen Ruofeng, pass the order, and kill all these people to the division!"

"No!"

Du Qingyuan took a deep breath, ripped off the bronze mask on his face with a snap, his messy hair covered his unusually haggard face, and raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Wait! General Han, do you really want to break the net!?"

"The fish is dead and the net is broken?" Han Lu snorted and sneered: "You are also worthy?"

"Han Si will not forget, tonight is the life and death of Xuanyi, if the Dong family succeeds in seizing the throne, when the son will fall today, without the support of the Xinwu Supreme, your Xuanyi will eventually fall into a group of rebels, when the time comes, in this big business world, will there be a place for you to stand on? Although we are not Xuanyi's opponents, but after a fire, how much strength do you Lingming Si have left to fight? Judging from the time, now the imperial city is already in crisis, you have lost manpower here in vain, what will you do to save the imperial city when the time comes!"

Han Lu waved his hand and stopped Chen Ruofeng, who was about to go down to pass the order, and sneered: "Sure enough, as Lord Mo said, you have already colluded with Youlan Villa, otherwise how would you know that this hour is the time for the Dong family to attack the imperial city? Lord Mo has a word for Han to answer to you!"

Du Qingyuan stabilized his mind, took a deep breath and said, "Please speak." ”

"Lord Mo Du's original words: 'The wall grass is the most hateful thing in the world, and the two ends of the first rat are even more disgusting, Du Qingyuan, you are a smart person, and now you have taken the wrong step in the rush for quick success, and this governor does not blame you. But don't be mistaken. This is what Lord Mo asked Han to convey to Master Du. Finally, there is Lord Modu's order to Han someone: If Du Qingyuan still wants to continue to wait and see, Lingming Han Lu will listen to the order and kill all those people, and Xuanyi will not leave a curse!"

Speaking of this, Han Lu walked lightly, fell from the roof ridge flutteringly, came to Du Qingyuan's face, and stared at him directly: "Young Master Du, there are only more than a thousand people in the manor here, and there are four or five thousand people in the original eight gangs you gathered, plus other small and medium-sized gangs from the south, etc., there are about 10,000 people in total, where did the others go?"

Du Qingyuan was silent, gritted his teeth fiercely, and looked at Han Lu without giving a step.

Han Lu continued: "It doesn't matter where the others go, but it is undeniable that all the leaders gathered in this Zhuangzi are the leaders, as long as you are killed, the others will not be able to make any waves. ”

Han Lu moved his gaze to the group of resentful people behind Du Qingyuan, and chuckled: "'Iron Shoulder Mountain' Gui Shuwu, 'Red Hair Knife' Zheng Yuewu, 'Gan Sa Lingquan' Liu Mingtang, oh, and the old acquaintance Tang Guizu, what's the matter, can't Zhao Uneasy, the prince of the dignified Anle Wang, protect you? Or are you lurking beside Du Gongzi......? Hehe. Stubborn!"

As he spoke, he patted Du Qingyuan's shoulder lightly, turned around to look at them without looking at them: "Give you a pillar of incense time, either accept the conditions of my Xuanyi, or, well, die." Incense!"

A small school jumped down from the roof, took out incense and lit it, and the Xuanyi looked at them quietly.

However, the plan could not catch up with the change, and when the incense pillar was just halfway burned, a huge firework suddenly erupted in the direction of the Forbidden City in the capital, and under the full moon, the entire sky was illuminated.

Han Lu suddenly turned his head, his eyes were cold, and he said: "Don't wait for me, it seems that the company is about to break its promise, Chen Ruofeng, do it!"

"Wait!" Du Qingyuan shouted slowly, gritted his teeth, and said very unwillingly: "General Han, Du Qingyuan led the remnants of the Eight Gangs and the Thirty-six Gangs in Jiangnan to surrender! From now on, obey Xuanyi's dispatch!"

Han Lu turned around and smiled, and said: "This is just like the words, Hall Master Du, please also organize people, obey the Lingming Division's arrangement, and work with Han to save the imperial city, and also, the four or five thousand people you arranged in the capital should also move, don't think that any of your actions in these five northern provinces can hide from my Xuanyi." ”

Du Qingyuan nodded with a disgraced face and said, "Guigu Divine Sword, good means." Then he turned around and walked to the dozen or so leaders led by Gui Shuwu, and said a few words carefully, asking them to cooperate with Xuanyi's action, but leaving Tang Guizu, the former head of the Ping'an Hall, alone.

Those people's original plan was to wait and see at any time in order to increase their own price, but now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, they can only accept their fate, at least their lives can be saved. Then he teamed up with the Lingming Division and others to march in the direction of the capital.

After waiting for them, Du Qingyuan said to Tang Guizu: "Tang Daxia, since Du has chosen to take refuge in the absolute son, there is no way to keep you by his side anymore, please return to Zhao Shizi and tell him that this is Du's last choice, and Du is in love with him." ”

Tang Guizu breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to immediately kneel on the ground, and said: "Back to Du Gongzi, since Du Gongzi has made a choice, Tang does not have to go back, Zhao Shizi said that if Tang has not returned to Hangzhou in March this year, it will have proved Du Gongzi's meaning, Tang and the people of Ping An will serve Du Gongzi for life and be Du Gongzi's servants." ”
