Chapter 44: Means
The weather is cold and frozen, thousands of miles are silent, the unique dry cold of the Loess Plateau spreads and extends at the last pass of Sanmenxia, and the chill in the air is like a knife cut under the blowing of the cold wind, which makes people's skin hurt.

At this time, it has been five days since Chen Ping escaped from Yu Canghai and others, and it has been at least three days since this matter spread.
After such a long time, coupled with the outpouring of the 19 gangs of the Yellow River, the situation of the shipwreck in the river has become more and more confusing, and now I am afraid that anyone who wants to eat this mouthful of fat is already restless.
But everyone understands that such a big thing is by no means something that one of the 19th Yellow River Gang can do, and there must be a bigger black hand behind them.
A force that can directly resist the imperial court is definitely beyond their imagination, and it is very likely that those top sects in the rivers and lakes will be killed, once they make a mistake, they will be killed, so before this matter is clear, they are still cautious for the time being.
But at this time, there was a sudden summoning order from the elders of the beggar gang, saying that they wanted to discuss this matter together, wouldn't this be in line with their intentions, since the beggar gang was the first gang in the world to take the lead, others naturally flocked to it.
Seeing that more and more people gathered, Chen Ping turned around and entered the City God Temple again, several people in the temple were discussing something, and when they saw Chen Ping, they immediately stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Messenger, there are many heroes from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes outside, all saying that they want to advance and retreat with our beggar gang......" He didn't say any more, but a few people in the room already understood, but their eyes were full of doubts?
They came to Sanmenxia this time for Liu Wei's big ship, but even they were hesitating until now.
Although the beggar gang is the largest gang in the rivers and lakes, there are too few top-level combat power, and they only rely on the number of people, and this time it can be related to the big people in the court, if it is not full of support, who would dare to come openly?
So a few of them also wanted to wait a little longer to see how things would develop, but they didn't expect that they had just arrived in Sanmenxia, and they were immediately pushed to the blade without even covering their buttocks.
The White Lotus Envoy's face was serious, and there seemed to be a question in his eyes, but Chen Ping just lowered his head and didn't speak, the more he said at this time, the more suspicious he became.
The Eight Bags Elder took a puff of his cigarette gun, "Could it be that our whereabouts have been exposed?" The smoke obscured his expression, making it impossible to fathom his thoughts.
The White Lotus Envoy was a little impatient, and closed the fan, "Don't worry about this for now, go out and have a look." The two glanced at each other and walked out of the gate of the City God's Temple.
At this time, the temple was already surrounded by people, among which there were many masters who were quite famous in the rivers and lakes such as the head of the dragon and phoenix knife of Jinan Mansion and the leader of the Tianhe Gang, and the heroes of all walks of life with different clothes and different accents plus two or three hundred people from the beggar gang itself, the scene was very huge.
As soon as they saw the White Lotus Messenger come out, some people immediately shouted, "The Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world, since even the White Lotus Messenger, who has always been mysterious, has personally gone out, we all naturally listen to the messenger, and please ask the messenger to command!" ”
This is obviously coaxing, but everyone else is also thinking about it, and who cares about anything else at this time, they all immediately shouted, looking like they want to help the horse's head with a beggar.
Chen Ping sneered, he had already seen the true face of this group of people, they were a group of scavenging vultures, they didn't dare to do it themselves, they wanted to pick up food behind others.
But what he didn't expect was that the White Lotus Envoy was very skilled in dealing with this situation, and only slightly appeased a few words, and then directly discussed it with these people.
first said that he wanted to do the right thing for heaven, strictly investigate the cause of this matter, and avenge the dead, and then said that he would punish the Nineteen Gangs of the Yellow River, looking fair and strict, but when he was talking, he directly began to discuss how to divide the spoils, and the group of people below didn't know whether they were really stupid or fake stupid, and they were as excited as if they were dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Chen Ping was completely speechless, he had long expected that this beggar gang would be procrastinating and troublesome, but he didn't expect them to be so ridiculous, if this was not really stupid, it would obviously be perfunctory.
Bai Tuohai quietly leaned over, "Lord, how is it?" ”
Chen Ping suppressed the depression in his heart and asked, "How are our people?" ”
"People are scattered around the destination, but Lord, are we really going? Don't talk about these heroes, I think the strength of those mysterious people is too strong, let's go for fear that we won't be able to please, and besides, we are just a group of beggars, there is really no need to get involved in this kick," he said and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Could it be that the Lord wants to help those people in the government?" ”
Chen Ping squinted, and the corners of his mouth sneered slightly, "Helping is inevitable, otherwise do you think you can do it with this group of rabble?" And even if they can spare their hands, can they really fight over there? I think maybe it will turn into a wolf spoils show, and if that's the case, we won't even be able to drink the soup! ”
Bai Tuohai wanted to speak and stopped, in fact, at the beginning, he was also fantasizing about the ship, but in the past few days, he saw that all the heroes in the city had come out one after another, among which the masters were like clouds, he was naturally a little afraid in his heart, and he had already dispelled the unrealistic fantasy, but he didn't expect that Chen Ping, who had always been mysterious, was really fighting the idea of that big ship.
Chen Ping asked again, "How is the situation of that group of people?" ”
Bai Tuohai came back to his senses and knew that Chen Ping was asking about the group of officers and soldiers, and immediately said, "Our people have already led them towards the location of the shipwreck, but I found that it is a little different, these people are probably soldiers!" ”
"Bing?"
"Yes, absolute marching people, I used to be a soldier in the frontier, and I am somewhat familiar with their style of behavior at a glance, and these people are by no means ordinary fast catchers and honor guards, they are definitely the elite of the army."
"Frontier soldiers, or elites?" Chen Ping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are they?" ”
"Listening to the accent, it should be from Shaanxi!"
"Shaanxi, be a soldier!" Chen Ping didn't turn a corner in his head, and was about to ask the audience in the live broadcast room, only then did he remember that he had banned the entire live broadcast room, so he had to think about it on his own.
"During the Zhengde period, when I was a soldier in Shaanxi, the people I brought were still the elite of the army, wasn't it Yang Yiqing?"
Chen Ping's eyes lit up, Yang Yiqing was in Shaanxi at this time, he used to only think that this was the world of laughter, but this was also the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, how could Yang Yiqing not know as the most powerful and famous courtiers in the Zhengde period.
This Yang Yiqing is a strange person, is through Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde, Jiajing four dynasties, for nearly 50 years of official power, he was the highest official to the cabinet of the first assistant, known as "out of the general into the phase, Wende martial arts", talent is even comparable to the Tang Dynasty famous minister Yao Chong.
It's just that at this time, shouldn't he be stationed on the frontier in Shaanxi? I don't think it's going to come this way!
Chen Ping was a little unsure, but secretly said in his heart, if it was really Yang Yiqing, it would be good, this Yang Yiqing was in the army, he was able to attack the Mongolian army at night, and he had rebelled against the king of Anhua, and the people under him were definitely real fierce generals who killed people, although martial arts may not be as good as these people in the rivers and lakes, but the soldiers have their own fighting methods, as long as they can hold on for a while, then things are much easier.
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered, "First send someone to keep an eye on the Chenghuang Temple, report the situation as soon as possible, and then find a fast horse who can ride a horse to find the military camp stationed on the edge of Shaanxi, and after finding it, say that someone has been attacked in Sanmenxia, let them come to the rescue quickly!" ”
Bai Tuohai's head hadn't turned around yet, "Lord, what are you doing in Shaanxi to find rescuers?" Besides, do people recognize us, what if we don't come? ”
Chen Ping said, "If they come, it's fine, if they don't come, they will be on standby!" ”
Bai Tuohai's face was full of surprise, "People will listen to us?" We're just a bunch of beggars, after all! ”
"So the people who go must have courage and knowledge, even if they can't gain their trust, at least let them be suspicious, I wanted to ask you to go, but I urgently need to hire people now, so I can only find someone else, if this thing is successful, I will immediately teach swordsmanship and internal strength after I come back!"
Bai Tuohai was a little moved when he heard this, isn't it this internal strength and swordsmanship that he is mainly doing with Chen Ping, but he knows that staying by Chen Ping's side is the best choice, so he hurriedly went down to go out to arrange, and Chen Ping also quietly disappeared from the crowd.
On the bank of the river, five or six miles east of Sanmenxia, the dense and dry weeds were more than a man tall, swaying in the cold wind, and if you looked closely, there were still a few beggars hidden in the grass, but even if anyone noticed them, most of them would not care if they looked lazy.
Chen Ping hid in the grass and frowned, and asked, "What's the matter, why haven't they come yet, can't they be taking the wrong way?" ”
"How come," Bai Tuohai was not there, Bai Yonglao explained on the side, "Lord, although we are all farmers, we usually do some things that only hunters do, and we are clever, this person deliberately led us away!" ”
As he was talking, someone next to him suddenly exclaimed, "It's coming!" ”
Chen Ping hurriedly looked in the direction, only to see a group of Ming Dynasty troops searching along the riverbank, as Bai Tuohai said, at first glance, these people are not simple military households, the armor on their bodies, the blades in their hands and the mounts under them all show that they are extraordinary.
Fifteen light cavalry, thirty infantrymen, plus a palanquin, exactly fifty people.
Chen Ping immediately waved his hand and ordered the beggars to retreat, as soon as he saw the situation, he knew that this group of people would definitely fight with the Songshan faction, but he didn't know what the result would be.
Chen Ping doesn't have much concept of the duel between the regular army and the masters in martial arts, the only thing he remembers is that in the Ming Dynasty in the real world, there is a mandarin duck array of the Qi family army that can restrain the masters in the Japanese army, but now it is the martial arts world, and I don't know what the strength of the army in front of him is.
