Li Qin stayed in the Huyang Water Camp for one night, then set off for the north and led the five people back to Dangtu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Finally, a day later, they arrived at the Saddle Fortress outside Dangtu City.

Ma'an Fortress, also known as Danyang Town, Danyang Military Mansion, is a town surrounded by the undulating terrain of Ma'anshan under Ma'anshan in the northeast of Dangtu after Li Qin arrived in Dangtu.

Li Qin used cement as the material, bamboo tendons as the skeleton, mixed with stone to pour. The city wall is three zhang high and two zhang wide, and it appears extremely thick. Because after the completion, Li Qin specially paved the city wall with lime inside and outside the city wall for the sake of beauty, so that the city wall is more and more smooth and smooth, and the past is integrated from afar, slightly gray, so it is also called the gray city here.

Li Qin returned to the saddle fortress, was followed by Su Dingfang and others, urgently dealt with some urgent problems, according to the situation after Du Fuwei captured Liyang, after making some corrections to the existing plan, he began to arrange everyone's affairs.

Li Jing, who had recently joined, was arranged by Li Qin to join the military department. Li Qin intended to let him familiarize himself with the various things in his territory in the military department, and made further arrangements for him.

Except for those who initially followed Li Qin and were brought out by Li Qin, no one could rise to a high position as soon as they joined Li Qin's army.

Although Li Qin's territory is still small, he has already formed a relatively complete set of regulations. This set of regulations is something that ordinary people need to follow.

Li Qin told Li Jing about his arrangements in advance, and Li Jing did not object to this. He also knew that Li Qin's rule was very different from other places. How much power these differences can exert under Li Qin's integration, he said he still needs to study.

Knowing himself and knowing his opponent, Li Jing came to Li Qin's command to go to the position of the general in the future. He is ambitious, so naturally he will not look at the master and be low, and he is eager to give orders.

Li Jing arranged it.

Fu Junwu was also taught by Li Qin to Shen Luoyan for training.

As for Su Su, this little beauty who wanted to return to Wagangzhai, Li Qin kept her on the grounds that he couldn't contact her for the time being. Li Qin knew what kind of misery she would encounter after returning to Wagangzhai, and since he could save her, he was not stingy to help her.

Li Qin put her next to Shen Luoyan and Fu Junwu and asked her to do what she could.

It's a good use.

In this way, everything was arranged, and Li Qin led Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, who strongly requested to follow him eastward, and set off for the three counties of Yuhang again.

In order to avoid another collision with Du Fuwei, Li Qin did not take the water route this time, but chose the land route with his head "pumping".

From the water to the south, into Xuancheng County, and from Xuancheng County to the east, over Tianmu Mountain to Yuhang.

Heading south again, Li Qin's first target was Yuhang County.

Yuhang County is an important stronghold of the Haisha Gang. Li Qin came to the Haisha Gang.

Because of the information, the Haisha Gang moved under the instigation of the Yuwen Valve in its background, and a large number of gangs gathered in Yuhang City, seemingly preparing to start a war with someone.

So Li Qin decided to intervene and put a praying mantis cicada catcher and yellow finch behind......

In order to achieve this goal, Li Qin secretly mobilized the men and horses of Xuancheng Town and Maoshan Town to quietly go to the area of Tianmu Mountain to lurk, ready to strike at the Haisha Gang at any time.

Entering Yuhang City, Li Qin got in touch with the intelligence officers in the city.

At this time, the intelligence officer stationed in Yuhang City was one of the most capable cadres under the "smiling fox" Feng Tianqing, and Zhang Pingfan, who claimed to be a "hundred flower boys".

Zhang Pingfan, this is a chubby and round young man. When people see him, they can't help but think of the ball.

Actually, he is indeed like a ball.

A round face, round eyes, a round nose. There is always a warm smile on his fat face, which is so white that he can almost pinch out of water.

"Because of the wide heart, the body is fat, and because of the harmony, you can make money!" These are the two sentences that Zhang Pingfan has been hanging on his lips.

His ancestral home is Yuhang, and he went to Yangzhou with his father to settle down as a child. I returned to Yuhang a year ago and opened such a Baixiang Pavilion.

Baixiang Pavilion is a green building, but what you play is not a routine of the Riba people, but the set of Yangchun Baixue.

Yuhang's literary style is prosperous, business is developed, he likes to be vain, and there are many people who want to refuse to welcome this kind of tune, and Baixiang Pavilion is also more and more open.

With the help and secret support of Li Qin's side, Baixiangge defeated several competitors one after another, completely gained a firm foothold in Yuhang County, and became an important source of funds and intelligence for Li Qin's side in Yuhang County.

Li Qin took Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong to Baixiang Pavilion, found Zhang Pingfan, and soon got the latest news about the Haisha Gang from him.

"The Haisha Gang has mobilized about 20,000 people this time, and it has already filled the city and outside of Yuhang. The most arrogant people in the city these days are them.

Because of Yuwen's words, even the government is not very good at caring about them. If it weren't for the fact that I had enough offerings to the Haisha Gang on weekdays, and I had offered some strange things to satisfy Yuwen Valve, I was afraid that I would ...... The Haisha Gang will come to the door. ”

In the secret room of Baixiang Pavilion, Zhang Pingfan asked Li Qin, Xu Ziling, and Kou Zhong to sit down and inform Li Qin of the latest news. The first thing he said was the number of the Seasand Gang.

"20,000 people...... The Haisha Gang has basically concentrated more than seventy percent of its strength here. That's a lot of money! Li Qin sighed involuntarily, and then asked, "Who do they want to deal with?" ”

"I heard it's the Dongming faction!" Zhang Pingfan whispered.

"Dongming faction?" Li Qin's brows raised slightly: "That's not right! The Haisha Gang is engaged in salt, and the Dongming faction is engaged in weapons...... The two businesses do not match, how can they have a conflict? ”

"Master, could it be that Yuwen Valve is making trouble behind?" Kou Zhong, who was listening on the side, scratched his hair and proposed this possibility to Li Qin.

"Well, it's inevitable. If not, how can we explain the eccentricity of the Seasand Gang. Li Qin nodded affirmatively, and gave Kou Zhong a promising look.

After that, he lowered his head in deep thought, and it took a moment before he raised his head.

"Although I still can't figure out why the Yuwen Valve is targeting the Dongming faction so much, it is certain that the Haisha faction will launch an attack on the Dongming faction in the near future.

This is an opportunity, an opportunity for us to inflict heavy damage on the Haisha Gang and subdue them.

Right now, the most important thing for us is to figure out the date of the battle between the Haisha Gang and the Dongming faction. It would be better if you could get in touch with the Dongming faction. ”

Li Qin pondered and made a decision:

"Ordinary, this matter will be left to you......"

"Understood, my lord! I'll get the news out as soon as I can. Zhang Pingfan nodded and assured Li Qin.

"I believe in you!" Li Qin patted him on the shoulder vigorously and expressed encouragement.

Zhang Pingfan was full of emotion and left in a hurry.

Looking at his departing back, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other with wide eyes, as if Li Qin had put forward his own request: "Master, we also want to go to Chongguan to find out the information." ”

"Yes!" Li Qin agreed.

He knew that Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong were very active and wanted to make contributions, and he also knew that there were large and small eyeliners of the Haisha Gang in this city, and the appearance of fresh faces like Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling here would inevitably arouse the ideas of some of them, and then cause some kind of turmoil.

However, he didn't care about these things, good or bad.

Because he is a grandmaster, he is an existence who can grasp the overall situation here.

Moreover, as his apprentices, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong have advanced to the second-rate level after a few months of study. Li Qin thinks that he has taught them all the martial arts he knows, and now what they lack is not learning behind closed doors, but the experience of fighting with people and the perception of fighting between life and death.

They need to go through it.

Li Qin understood this, so he decided to let it go.

After all, only young eagles that have experienced wind and rain can really grow.

Without too much advice, Li Qin let Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong leave like this.

And he himself stayed in the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion to control the overall situation.

The days passed, and the chaos in the city did not stop for a moment.

Zhang Pingfan, who is very capable, kept sending relevant news, not only about the Haisha Gang and the Dongming faction, but also about Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.

These two guys, after leaving Li Qin, assumed the names of Fu Ling and Fu Zhong, pretending to be young chivalrous warriors who had just come out of the rivers and lakes to show up in the prevention city.

This appearance naturally attracted the attention of the Haisha Gang. The people of the Haisha Gang wanted to recruit the two, but they were shirked by the two under various excuses.

Outcome......

“…… The people of the Haisha Gang wanted to use force and sent a hundred and ten people to besiege them, but they were broken out by the two young masters. At that time, the huge ship of the Dongming faction happened to dock, and the two young masters fled to the ship of the Dongming faction. Zhang Pingfan informed Li Qin of Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong's situation.

"Did they really get on board?" Li Qin asked leisurely.

"It was put up by the big men of the Dongming faction." Zhang Pingfan nodded and replied.

"Now that they're up, I'll have to do it. Troublesome boys, I, as a master, have to bring them back. Li Qin smiled and stood up.

"Lord, do you need to mobilize more people?" Zhang Pingfan saw that Li Qin was planning to act, and hurriedly asked.

"No, it's not time yet...... This time it's good for me to go alone. After all, it's just some minor conflicts, and I think with the name of my grandmaster, I should be able to settle it. Li Qin said, took out the mask belonging to the green corpse from his arms, put it on his face, and walked out of the secret room.

Outside the secret room was a commotion of drunken fans. Although it was only daytime afternoon, there were already many guests in the Baixiang Pavilion.

They ate and drank, put their arms around the beautiful girl, and enjoyed the singing and dancing in the hall.

The singing and dancing of Baixiang Pavilion is a must in Yuhang. These cabaret performances, which are based on storytelling with the help of later theatrical styles, are different from the pure interpretation of this era, giving people a refreshing feeling.

The audience is like a tide, this is the prosperous era of the Baixiang Pavilion.

However, this has nothing to do with Li Qin.

Leaning sideways against the wall on the third floor, Li Qin glanced at the situation downstairs with cold eyes, and found that there were no special characters among them, so he unfolded his body and ran out of the window of the Baixiang Pavilion.

Beyond the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion is an increasingly depressed street. There are not many pedestrians on the streets, and the market is deserted.

Li Qin galloped briskly along the avenue and soon came to the port area.

At this time, the giant ship belonging to the Dongming faction was quietly docked in a corner of the port area.

Around the escalators above and below the giant ship, the swordsmen of the Dongming faction and a group of thugs of the Haisha Gang confronted each other.
