193. The beggar eleven in Junshan
The journey from Jinan to Quanzhou is very long, Nangong Ling did not rush day and night, if he rushed over like this, he was afraid that he would have collapsed by the time he arrived there, and what strength would he have to deal with those Dongying Ronin at that time. Every day he slept for three hours to keep his body in order, and spent the rest of the time on the road.
His horse was the best horse used by the beggars, with fast speed and strong endurance, so it didn't take many days to arrive in Quanzhou.
The customs of Quanzhou are completely different from those of Jinan, and Nangong Ling is still very curious about this, after all, no matter how mature he is at this age, he is inevitably curious about new things. However, now that there is something important, he still takes it away, and it is okay to have a good time after the matter is resolved.
Arriving at the beggar gang branch in Quanzhou, the beggar gang disciples were a little puzzled by the young man sent by the chief rudder, and some people even wondered if the chief rudder had given up on them. How much can a half-grown teenager do? Although there are many young and famous people on the rivers and lakes, there are only a few people.
But then, they were much more at ease with Nangong Ling, Nangong Ling told them a lot of things, and their means and efficiency were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The helmsman of the Quanzhou branch began to report to Nangong Lingyu what was happening nearby, and recently those Dongying ronins calmed down and did not quarrel with the beggars anymore, but this feeling was more like a precursor to the coming storm, and they couldn't rest assured, so they kept sending their disciples to quietly monitor those people.
Nangong Ling said: "It's okay to monitor, but you must not startle the snake, it is said that there are so-called ninjas among the Dongying Ronin, and their kung fu is extremely weird, so be careful." ”
"Yes." The helmsman replied and asked, "Shall we then stand still?" ”
"Plan before you act, don't act arbitrarily and damage the beggars and disciples." Nangong Ling said solemnly.
Although they all say that the first strike is stronger, but they don't know anything about the Dongying Ronin, so they still don't move, knowing that they are invincible, he doesn't want to lose his wife and lose his army.
"Okay, I'll give you the order."
After the helmsman went down, Nangong Ling took out the map of Quanzhou and marked everything they said, it is necessary to be familiar with the terrain, and even if it is a retreat and layout, it is inseparable from the study of the terrain. Nangong Ling used cinnabar to circle the location of the Dongying Ronin they said, and used Daiqing to circle the distribution location of the beggar gang disciples.
That night, another Dongying ronin suddenly attacked the beggar gang disciples in a place, Nangong Ling immediately went to check after knowing about it, and the disciples in that place were dead and injured, which looked heart-wrenching.
"Take the living down to heal." Nangong Ling looked at the dead and injured beggar gang disciples, and couldn't stop feeling disgusted with those ronins in his heart.
The beggar disciples on the side took away all the wounded, leaving Nangong Ling there to investigate, Nangong Ling looked around carefully, how did those people make these beggar disciples who had good martial arts suffer heavy casualties? The wounds of the dead and wounded people who have just been investigated are mostly killed with one sword, and if you want to kill these beggar disciples with one sword, at least you have to have martial arts like him, he doesn't believe that all Dongying ronins have such martial arts.
He paced here, his eyes glued to the place where the blood had clotted, he half-crouched and stretched out his fingers to gently scrape the dried bloodstains, he looked at the fingers and muttered, "What is this white powder?" ”
Just as he wanted to put his finger on the tip of his nose and sniff, his finger stopped in mid-air, and Wuyin told him that there were some things that he couldn't sniff and eat indiscriminately.
"Squeak." A gray mouse crawled out of the corner, and Nangong Ling laughed when he saw it.
All of a sudden, the gray mouse was caught by Nangong Ling, Nangong Ling scraped up the blood and fed it to the mouse, and after a while, the mouse shook its body and fell down and convulsed.
"Is this a drug?" He shook his head, "No, what the hell is that." ”
He scraped a little more and fed it to the mouse, and the mouse staggered to the bloodstain and ate it, without any intention of stopping.
Nangong Ling's eyes widened: "This." ”
He immediately took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from his fingers, there was something wrong with the white powder.
At this time, how he wished that Wuyin could be by his side, and if Wuyin was there, he might be able to figure out the composition and efficacy of this white powder.
It's a pity that Wuyin is not there, he can only rely on himself, since this white powder has not yet figured out what it is, then he must be careful not to be tricked.
At this time, Nangong Ling could be sure that those Dongying Ronin were not using martial arts but using crooked methods to deal with them, and they never stopped dealing with them. Generally, it only takes a little bit to feed the rats, but if you give it to a person, you must have prepared it beforehand.
Nangong Ling's mood was very heavy, he looked at the bloodstains, and frowned.
He couldn't stay here for long, Nangong Ling walked out, he was walking on the road but kept thinking about what those Dongying people wanted to do.
As he walked, Nangong Ling smelled a faint smell of tulips, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look, and sure enough, he saw that elegant figure.
"Chu Liuxiang, why is he here?" Nangong Ling had some doubts in his heart.
Just as he was staring at Chu Liuxiang's figure, Chu Liuxiang also turned around and looked at him, and immediately Nangong Ling lowered his head.
Seriously, Nangong Ling didn't want to see Chu Liuxiang at all, he felt that Chu Liuxiang was a troublesome person, as long as Chu Liuxiang was in trouble, it seemed that there was trouble, this was the conclusion he drew from what happened to Chu Liuxiang that Wuyin said.
However, when you see it, you can't turn a blind eye, that is a very rude thing, Nangong Ling still greeted Chu Liuxiang and stepped forward.
Chu Liuxiang smiled: "Xiao Ling." ”
Nangong Ling shouted a little reluctantly: "Uncle Chu." ”
Obviously not much older than him, but he still has to call Uncle Chu Liuxiang, this is the saddest thing that Nangong Ling feels, but who made Wuyin and Chu Liuxiang's brothers commensurate, Nangong Ling's generation is naturally so younger than Chu Liuxiang.
"Aren't you in Jinan? Jinan can be 108,000 miles away from Quanzhou. ”
Nangong Ling asked rhetorically, "What about Uncle Chu?" I remember that Uncle Chu should have gone out with his friends. ”
"Ahem, my friend is back in trouble, and as a friend, I naturally have to help." Chu Liuxiang touched her nose and said.
Nangong Ling's eyes widened: "Is it because of the Dongying people?" ”
"Well, how do you know? Could it be? Chu Liuxiang secretly said in his heart, he should have thought of it, what else was there besides this in Quanzhou at this time.
Nangong Ling looked around, he darkened his eyes and made a gesture to Chu Liuxiang, Chu Liuxiang nodded and left here with Nangong Ling.
Both of them were excellent in their light skills, and they quickly shook off the people who were following behind them.
When he arrived at a secluded place, Chu Liuxiang asked, "Is it following you?" ”
"Why didn't they follow you?"
Chu Liuxiang explained: "I didn't have any conflicts with those Dongying people when I first came to Quanzhou, and they have no reason to follow me. ”
Nangong Ling nodded and said, "They want to attack the beggars." ”
As the so-called tree is a big move, although the overall martial arts of the beggar gang are not high, but there are many people in the beggar gang and their power is very large, so it is naturally easy to be targeted.
Suddenly, Nangong Ling asked, "Uncle Chu, what's your friend's name?" Could it be that he is also a member of the beggar gang? ”
Chu Liuxiang chuckled and shook his head: "He is not a member of the beggar gang, but a disciple of Master Tianfeng, I will take you to see him next time." ”
Chu Liuxiang felt that Wuhua would definitely like Nangong Ling, a young man, and let them get to know each other, and they could discuss it together.
"Master Tianfeng? Then he is not a monk. Nangong Ling really couldn't imagine that Chu Liuxiang, who was known as Xiangshuai in the rivers and lakes, actually became friends with a monk.
This is really a big joke in the world, but Chu Liuxiang has friends all over the world, and it should be possible to be friends with the master of Tianfeng, Nangong Ling suddenly became interested in that monk.
Chu Liuxiang looked at Nangong Ling's constantly changing expression without falling all of a sudden, he was really still a teenager, and a lot of thoughts were on his face, although it was very likely that they knew each other without scruples. Looking at Nangong Ling's appearance carefully, Chu Liuxiang inexplicably felt that this child must be like his mother, he looked very handsome, but he was similar to Wuyin.
Wait, Chu Liuxiang thought of one more thing, why is Nangong Ling's surname Nangong instead of Ren? In other words, it should not be allowed to let the eldest son take someone else's surname.
Nangong Ling looked at Chu Liuxiang directly: "Uncle Chu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Why did he think Chu Liuxiang's eyes were so strange? Is there something wrong with him?
"Ahem, nothing." Chu Liuxiang thought that it should be with her mother's surname, after all, that guy Wuyin could do this kind of thing.
"Then I'll go back first, where should I find you?" Nangong Ling walked a few steps and stopped and asked.
"Donglai Inn Tianzi No. 1." Chu Liuxiang didn't hesitate at all to tell where he lived now.
Nangong Ling replied: "Okay, wait for me to find you tomorrow." ”
Not today, he has to be able to explain something in the rudder.
Returning to the rudder, Nangong Ling took out the map again and looked at it, he looked at the location of several attacks and the time, it seems that those Dongying people have been testing the strength of the beggar gang, and they don't dare to act rashly, so they regularly test in different places every time, which can also be called an experiment.
After studying this, Nangong Ling was extremely concerned about the white powder, he thought about it and ordered to go down, pay attention to the recent diet, drinking water, etc.
At night, Nangong Ling couldn't sleep at all, he didn't feel sleepy at all, he could only lie on the bed and toss and turn, and the picture of today's place kept coming to his mind. He breathed a long sigh of relief, stared at the fluttering curtain with wide eyes, and remembered the handkerchief that wiped his fingers.
"Otherwise, let's show that to Uncle Chu tomorrow to study, he should know more." Listening to Wuyin, Chu Liuxiang's knowledge is very profound, such a person must know much more about these than him, and even if he is older than him, he doesn't know how many more books he can read.
