Standing in the middle of the line was a beggar in his twenties, with a disheveled head, an eyebrow-high wooden stick in his hand, wearing a tattered suit, his thin face was covered with dirt, but a pair of sharp eyes showed a hint of vigilance, and he was constantly observing the situation around him!

The reason why this beggar made Xiao Yao so excited was because he had nine small cloth bags tied to his body, which was the symbol of the elders of the beggar gang, and it was the nine bags elder, he was the high-level core of the beggar gang!

Xiao Yao is worried that there is no channel to inform Jinling of his current specific situation! Although he has now successfully escaped the search and arrest of Qi State and came to Chang'an City of Zhou State, because the New Year is approaching, the caravan of the general firm branch in Chang'an City has also returned to Jinling, so now Xiao Yao does not have reliable manpower to help him deliver information.

And the beggar in front of him, as the nine-bag elder of the beggar gang, then he must be Jiang Shun's most trusted brother, even if he probably doesn't know that Xiao Yao is the leader of the beggar gang, but Xiao Yao has a way to let him know his identity, because Xiao Yao knows the code of the beggar gang! When he asked Jiang Shun to set up a beggar gang, he wrote two sentences of dialogue, and asked Jiang Shun to be the joint code of the beggar gang!

So, in the name of helping, Xiao Yao walked to the young beggar with a drawer of steamed buns, and then pretended to distribute the steamed buns to the beggars around him with a smile. ”

Originally, this young beggar saw this monk who was younger than himself suddenly walking towards him, his eyes were full of vigilance, and when he heard this code, his body suddenly shook, his eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and quickly answered: "Pagoda Town River Demon!" ”

Xiao Yao smiled slightly, nodded, and then said loudly, "What?" There are many brothers in your beggar's den who haven't eaten for days, and they are dying of hunger? Good, good, good! As the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and God has the virtue of a good life! How can the little monk sit idly by, you wait, I will send you steamed buns, and you will lead the way in front! ”

The young beggar also cooperated: "Thank you, Master! Our brother was in the ruined temple in the south of the city, cold and hungry, and he was seriously ill and bedridden, and I heard that the Suiguo Mansion was handing out steamed buns early this morning, and I immediately rushed over, if there was nothing to eat, they might starve to death! ”

So, Xiao Yao asked Dugu Jialuo for a few drawers of steamed buns, and then in the name of alms to save people, he followed the young beggar all the way to the south of the city, and when the people of the Yang family reacted and were about to send someone to follow this distinguished guest of the Suiguo Mansion, Xiao Yao was already gone.

came to this broken temple, the young beggar distributed the steamed buns to the other beggars, and then sent people to guard around the broken temple, and only then brought Xiao Yao into the secret room of the broken temple.

"The master is young, and he came out of the Suiguo Mansion, presumably the master is the little monk named Sanzang who spread throughout Chang'an City yesterday? I wonder why the master knew the code that the official disciples of our beggar gang hung bags only knew? Could it be that the master is also an official disciple of our beggar gang? The young beggar asked warily.

Xiao Yao didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile on his face, as if waiting for something.

The young beggar was stunned for a moment, then carefully looked at the little monk in front of him, and then asked in a low voice, "Chicken stewed mushrooms!" ”

"Braised peanuts with pig's feet!" Xiao Yao replied confidently.

"You, how do you know the code between our Nine Bag Elders! Are you also the elder of our beggar gang? No way! In addition to the mysterious and supreme gang leader, our beggar gang also has Deputy Jiang Gang leader and six Nine Bag Elders, this elder code is only known to the eight of us, but I know them all, but I have never seen you, a monk, who are you? Don't! The young beggar looked at Xiao Yao dumbfounded, and was already speechless in shock.

"No one in this world knows what peanuts are, so these two passwords that absolutely no one in this world can guess are the ones I wrote to Jiang Shun and asked him to identify them as the joint codes of the beggar gang!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"You, are you really the mysterious and respectful leader of our beggar gang? You... The Nine Bags Elder of the Beggar Gang, Chen Jian, the helmsman of Chang'an City, see the gang leader! The young beggar immediately knelt down to Xiao Yao to pay respects.

"Get up! When Jiang Shun was a group of helpless little beggars in Jinling, I rescued them and helped them set up a beggar gang, so they respected me as the leader of the beggar gang! But because I have another public identity, it's inconvenient for people to know my relationship with the beggar gang, so Jiang Shun is not allowed to tell others my identity! It seems that Jiang Shun and the others still listen to me very much, without my permission, even if you are an elder of the Nine Bags, you still haven't told you my identity! Xiao Yao nodded and smiled.

"Yes, at the beginning, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang and the other three elders did not announce the identity of the gang leader at the inaugural meeting of the Beggar Gang, and later because the Beggar Gang grew stronger, I was promoted to be an elder of the Nine Bags, but he still didn't tell me the true identity of the gang leader, but he kept emphasizing that the gang leader of our Beggar Gang was a big hero of the world! I can't imagine that you are so young, if it weren't for the helper knowing these two absolutely confidential passwords, I wouldn't believe that you are actually the leader of our beggar gang! Chen Jian said with an incredulous expression. Bean Book City

"Are you Chen Guoren?" Xiao Yao asked.

"No, I am from Zhou, but when I was young, I followed my parents to Jinling in Chen Guo, and later because my parents died unfortunately, I could only live in Chen Guoxing in order to survive, and later I got acquainted with Deputy Gang Leader Jiang and the other three elders, and they became friends of life and death, good brothers who treat each other with all sincerity, fight together and help the weak! It's just that the year before last, I left Jinling and came back to Zhou, and when I returned to Jinling, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang and other brothers actually established a beggar gang, and defeated the Cao gang who had been bullying us, and became the boss of various gangs in Jinling! Later, our beggar gang grew stronger and stronger, and Chen Guo sent troops to the Northern Expedition this year, so Deputy Gang Leader Jiang sent me back to Chang'an City, and set up a beggar gang rudder here, recruiting beggar gang disciples while inquiring about all kinds of news! Chen Jian explained.

"Excellent! It seems that Jiang Shun is also strictly implementing my plan! The reason why I can't disclose the identity of the leader of the beggar gang is because my other identity is the mighty general of Chen State, Xiao Yao Xiao Shilang! Xiao Yao said word by word.

"Xiao Shilang? The gang leader turned out to be the Chen Guo general who killed the Qi army and abandoned his armor and fled when he heard the sound, the famous Xiao Yao Xiao Shilang? No wonder Deputy Gang Leader Jiang has been telling us that the gang leader of our beggar gang is a great hero of the world! The subordinates really don't know Taishan, and they can't even recognize the helper as the world-famous Xiao Shilang, just now I always thought that the helper was just a little monk! Chen Jian's eyes showed adoration and said excitedly.

"You've seen me before? Haha, just because you didn't recognize me means I succeeded! I have fled to Zhou now after being chased and killed by Qi State, if they know that I am Xiao Shilang, then it will be even more difficult for me to go back to Chen State! Xiao Yao said self-deprecatingly.

"When the gang leader was in Jinling, he was a man of the hour, so I was fortunate to see the gang leader a few times, but they were all from a distance, so now the gang leader is dressed up as a monk, and I really can't recognize it for a while! Now that the gang leader has come to the Zhou State, I believe that those Qi people dare not be unfavorable to the gang leader here in Chang'an City, so it is better for his subordinates to arrange immediately and escort the gang leader back to Jinling! Knowing that the gang leader is safe and sound now, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang will definitely be very happy! Chen Jian smiled excitedly.

"No! I can't leave Chang'an City yet, I still have something to deal with while I stay here! In the Battle of Linying County, after I was ambushed and defeated by Gao Changgong, in this month, I have been avoiding the pursuit of the Qi army, and I don't know a lot of things, what happened to Chen Guo now?" Xiao Yao asked anxiously.

"Well, I'm sorry, Helper! The situation in Jinling is not very clear, at that time, after the gang leader you led the troops to the Northern Expedition, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang sent me and another Nine Bag Elder to go to Ye City of Qi State and Chang'an City of Zhou State to create the rudder of the beggar gang, so I have been here in Chang'an for the past six months. It's just that a month ago, when the news that the gang leader was defeated by Gao Changgong and disappeared and fled to Chang'an City, it also caused a great sensation here, at that time, almost everyone was talking about Xiao Shilang's deeds, some people exclaimed loudly, and some people regretted in a low voice, I believe that Jinling reacted even more violently to the news of the disappearance of the gang leader! Later, Deputy Gang Leader Jiang also sent an urgent order, asking me and the beggar gang in Yecheng to divide the rudder and make every effort to find out the news of Xiao Shilang, as long as the gang leader is found, no matter how much it costs, the gang leader must be let return to Jinling alive, at that time I thought it was because of the identity of Xiao Shilang, the leader of the gang Chen Guo, that Deputy Gang Leader Jiang was so nervous, now that I think about it, it turns out that Xiao Shilang is the leader of our beggar gang! Chen Jian said with emotion.

"Well, so I came to you to ask you to help me send the news back to Jinling and tell Jiang Shun that I am not only alive, but also came to Chang'an safe and sound! The most important thing is to ask Jiang Shun to find the ancestral boss of General Motors and ask him to arrange for Gao Yuan to come to Chang'an to meet me! It's very secret at this time, so you must rush to Jinling in person! Xiao Yao said solemnly.

"Yes, helper! I set off immediately and rushed to Jinling, I have also been running back and forth between Zhou and Chen over the years, and the identity of the beggar will definitely not arouse the suspicion of others! Helper, are you really not going to come with me? Although I am just a person in the rivers and lakes, I also know that the three kingdoms of Zhou, Chen and Qi are actually like the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu back then, in order to get the world, sooner or later they will fight a battle, and the helper you are a famous general of the Chen State, even if the Zhou State and the Chen State are forming an alliance to deal with the Qi State together, but in order not to let the tiger return to the mountain, in order to prevent future troubles, they may also be unfavorable to the helper! Chen Jian said worriedly.

"Haha, of course I know that they will also be bad for me, so I have to keep pretending to be this Sanzang monk now! Don't worry, even you who have seen me in Jinling can't recognize my true face, and no one here in Zhou can recognize me as Xiao Shilang, so although I am in the mouth of a tiger, I am still as safe as Mount Tai! And if they want to deal with it, why don't I calculate them? So what you have to do now is to rush to Jinling immediately, inform Jiang Shun and them, and let Gao Yuan come to Chang'an alone, you don't need to bring too many people, there are too many people, but it is easy to be exposed! Xiao Yao commanded.

"Yes, the subordinates will clean up now, and then select two more subordinates to rush back to Jinling with me, what the gang leader ordered, I will only report to him personally after I see Deputy Gang Leader Jiang!" Chen Jian straightened his waist and said solemnly.

"Okay, please! During this time, I will always stay in Chang'an, and I am here in Chang'an, and now I am a well-known person, and I also live in Suiguo Mansion, so you don't need to worry about my safety, and I will turn the troubled waters in Chang'an City upside down! Xiao Yao sneered.

The winter sun had just risen, and at the gate of Chang'an City, which had just been opened, several beggars dressed in tatters and shrunk into a ball of cold were lining up to be inspected and leave Chang'an City, but the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion guarding the city in Yang Jian did not look at these beggars, and even covered their noses and drove these beggars away, asking them to leave the city immediately, lest the stench on their bodies pollute the fresh air in the morning.

Seeing Chen Jian and them leave Chang'an City smoothly, Xiao Yao, who was relieved, was in a good mood, and then bathed in the warm sunshine, wandering around the streets of Chang'an City, suddenly, a team of people and horses were running towards Xiao Yao's side, it was Yang Jian and his officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion.

"Master Sanzang, it turns out that you are here, just now you suddenly left the Suiguo Mansion, and you didn't tell us where you went, let us worry, you must know that the master is not only a distinguished guest of our Yang family, but also a guest of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Wei Guogong, if you have any mistakes, Yang can't afford it." Yang Jian said nervously and respectfully.

After a night of tossing and turning last night, he felt that the monk in front of him was very reasonable, if he wanted to revive the glory of the Suiguo Mansion, he had to do everything he could, and it was the most convenient and fastest way to make his daughter the crown princess and make the Yang family a relative of the Zhou Kingdom!

And the monk in front of him, he is a person from Yuwenzhi and Gongzi's side, and he can be regarded as belonging to the camp of Yuwenhu's side, although he offended him yesterday, but looking at his attitude towards the Yang family last night, it seems that he also wants to pull our Yang family a little. You must know that it is Yuwenhu who is in power now, but if you can let this monk say a few good words about himself in front of Yuwenhu, and then let Yuwenhu suggest to the emperor and make his daughter Yang Lihua the crown princess, I believe that the emperor will not dare to refuse Yuwenhu's suggestion, then this family affair will be certain!

"Haha, just now because I wanted to give General Yang's steamed buns to those poor beggars, I left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to explain it clearly to General Yang, which made General Yang worried, it's really a sin! Chang'an City is the capital of the Zhou State, and General Yang is so fierce to guard it, I believe that the security in the city is also very safe, plus the little monk is a monk, penniless, how can there be any mistakes! Xiao Yao smiled, seeing that Yang Jian was so sincere and humble in his attitude towards him, he knew that Yang Jian had already taken the bait.
