Volume 1 Northwest Storm Chapter 6 It's better to give it a go
Hearing that Chen Zhongming was dead, Xiang Beichuan was not surprised at all, he looked at Jiang Lan and asked lightly, "You killed it?" ”
Jiang Lan glanced at him: "No." It was he who had a bad life, fell out of the carriage, fell to his death. ”
"Hehe," Xiang Beichuan said with a wry smile, "It's really a trick!" The people who broke my 100 brothers and failed to kill ended up dying like this! ”
"Old Xiang, I'm a little curious now, what happened to you that night?"
"That night......" Xiang Beichuan slowly recounted what happened that night.
That night, after Jiang Lan went to chase the car, Xiang Beichuan continued to fight with his subordinates, and it didn't take much effort to annihilate everyone in the convoy.
Just as he wanted to lead his men to chase the carriage, a group of black-clothed men wearing demon masks suddenly killed him. Although there are only a few dozen of them, they are all very skilled.
They rushed into the formation and killed anyone they saw, and in less than a moment they killed Xiang Beichuan's men.
Xiang Beichuan was shocked and angry when he saw this, he fought hard, wanting to take the rest of his men to fight out of the encirclement, who knew that the group of ghost-faced people had a very high kung fu, and they cut down several of their subordinates to the ground when they raised their hands.
Although Xiang Beichuan knew that he was invincible, he didn't want to wait for death, he used his true qi to protect his heart, and then raised his knife to kill the group of ghost-faced people. In a desperate fight, although he killed the other two people, he was also injured several times, fell to the ground and fainted. And before he fainted, he used his last bit of strength to carry the turtle breath duel.
This turtle breath trick is Xiang Beichuan's last life-saving method, and when he uses his qi, he can not only slowly recover from his injuries, but also make people lose their breath and pulse, and they look like they are really dead.
The group of ghost-faced people didn't pay much attention to it when they saw that they were already "dead", and they checked the other corpses to make sure that they were all dead before leaving with confidence.
In this way, Xiang Beichuan saved his life, but he also injured one eye during the fight.
"Huh? Lao Xiang, I remember that you practiced invulnerable horizontal hard skills, how could you still be injured? Jiang Lan asked puzzled.
Xiang Beichuan heard this, but shook his head gloomily: "Invulnerability is just a rumor on the rivers and lakes, although this horizontal practice of kung fu can make one's skin and muscles much harder, but it is also difficult to resist knives and guns." ”
Speaking of this, he touched the blindfold on his face: "If I can really be invulnerable, how can I lose this eye...... If I could be invulnerable, how could I lose the lives of my one hundred and thirty-three brothers...... Sooner or later, I'll ask those brutes for a return! ”
"Old Item...... If it wasn't for the master to hit you, I'm afraid it would be difficult to avenge your revenge! ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"That group of ghost-faced people who raided you are most likely sent by the Northern Wei Imperial Court!"
"What! The Northern Wei Dynasty? Xiang Beichuan and the others glanced at each other, and their faces were full of shock.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan also slowly told his experience that night. He told the ghost-faced people he had seen and the words he had heard. But about everything that happened between himself and the young master, he subconsciously avoided it.
As he spoke, the expression on Xiang Beichuan's face changed from shock to doubt.
"From this point of view, the purpose of all this is to get rid of Chen Zhongming in a disguise?"
"Whether Chen Zhongming is their ultimate goal is still unknown, but the two of us have indeed become people's swordsmen and scapegoats."
"Disgusting!" Xiang Beichuan slapped the table suddenly, but saw that although the table was shaken, it was not as divided as Jiang Lan imagined. It can be seen that either Xiang Beichuan is distressed about his belongings, or the quality of the table in this cottage is excellent.
"Brother Jiang, let's not hide it, in fact, at the beginning, we suspected that you and that blind man Xu were in the same group. It wasn't until yesterday that we heard that the chief scoop of the Green Forest Road had issued a 'kill order' to you, and we dispelled our suspicions about you. "This time it's the Junzi who seems to be ordinary, but it's also mediocre.
"Kill order? Is it a hunt and kill order? Jiang Lan asked.
"Yes! Neither is it. The second tiger on the side explained to Jiang Lan, "Although there is only one word difference between this killing order and the pursuit order, it is a world of difference. The hunt order is nothing more than an ordinary bounty on the rivers and lakes, initiated by individuals and concluded by individuals. The killing order is issued by the chief scoop of the Northwest Green Forest Road, and each chief scoop can only be issued once in office, and the reward of the reward is the honorable position of the next chief scoop handle! ”
"Oh my God, don't be so exaggerated!" Jiang Lan almost dropped his jaw in shock, "My head is so valuable?" ”
"Your head is not only valuable now, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's the entire Northwest Green Forest Road!" Xiang Beichuan said with a smile.
"Wait! Lao Xiang ...... Did you call me here for this purpose? Jiang Lan said, pointing to his head.
Seeing this, Xiang Beichuan and the others glanced at each other, and then burst into laughter: "Haha, Brother Jiang, you are too careful, we are now grasshoppers on a rope." Think about it, even if I carry your head to receive the reward, will I have the life to sit in that position? ”
"That's right." Jiang Lan thought for a moment and inserted the blade of kindness in his hand back into his waist, "But I still have one thing that I wonder about, since so many people outside the black and white have not found me, how did you find me?" ”
"It's thanks to my native brother." Xiang Beichuan pointed to the native who was sitting beside him with a big hand. I saw him nodding, but he still didn't say a word, "Although my brother usually talks a little less, he has excellent eyesight." That night also happened to be a coincidence. ”
It turned out that after Xiang Beichuan crawled out of the pile of dead people that day, he immediately returned to Qiyun Village.
As soon as he arrived at Qiyun Village, he immediately released carrier pigeons to inform several of his old brothers. And the closest to this native is in the town of Nayuxi. After receiving the letter to take care of the family affairs, he went out to Qiyun Village.
As soon as I left the town, I saw a man sneaking into the town. Tusheng didn't know any martial arts at all, but his eyesight was not ordinarily good, and he had a rough idea of Jiang Lan's appearance just by moonlight. When he arrived at Qiyunzhai, he told Xiang Beichuan about it. Xiang Beichuan concluded that the sneaky figure was Jiang Lan!
And today, when Jiang Lan was looking at the list in front of the display board, he was met by Tusheng again, and Tusheng immediately found He Daochang, who was looking for Jiang Lan in the city, and Jiang Lan knew what happened next.
"What does it mean that no book is written without coincidence!" Jiang Lan leaned back and exclaimed.
"Now that everything is clear, what should I do now, I can't hide here for the rest of my life, right?" Xiang Beichuan pointed his finger at the table, "And looking at Brother Jiang Lan's reaction when he saw me, it seems that he has already guessed that I am not dead." ”
"Hmm. I went back to Yujialing, and I didn't see your body at that time, so I guessed it. ”
Xiang Beichuan frowned: "That blind man Xu is also a thoughtful person, and he has many eyes and ears, sooner or later he will find out about this matter." At that time, my Qiyun Village will become the target of public criticism. ”
"If you want me to say, it's simple, let's go directly to the Water Snake Ridge to find Xu Blind. This guy must know the whole thing, let's grab him and go to the chief scoop to explain the situation, so that the killing order on the young master can be withdrawn. Jiang Lan waved his hand and said.
Xiang Beichuan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's really that simple!" Not to mention whether this walled gate will be discovered, even when we arrive at the Water Snake Ridge, the twenty-eight snake guards on the ridge are difficult to deal with with with a few of us! ”
"Serpent Guard?" Jiang Lan had also lived on the Water Snake Ridge for some time before, but he had never seen any snake guards.
Xiang Beichuan nodded and explained when he saw his puzzled look: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that in addition to many eyeliners, that Xu Blind Man's subordinates have secretly recruited twenty-eight skilled snake guards. These people have different backgrounds and experiences, but they have one thing in common - they are all desperate Jianghu people. They were taken in by Xu Blind and hired with a lot of money, so they were all loyal to him and could work for him at any time. According to legend, the famous 'lone-winged flying eagle' Tong Tiexi was among them. ”
"Oh! I can't imagine that this old blind man has such a hand! Since this method doesn't work, let's talk about it, what should I do? ”
The other people heard this, but they didn't speak, and the table fell silent for a while.
"Poor Dao thought of a way, but it was a bit risky." He Daochang, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, "Since both black and white are now looking for Jiang Xiaoyou's whereabouts, let's hide from them everywhere, why don't we let go and gamble!" ”
"Bet? The master is a little interested, how to gamble? ”
"Jiang Xiaoyou, do you know Yu Fengqiu?"
Jiang Lan shook his head when he heard this.
"He is the chief scoop of the Northwest Green Forest Road, and your killing order was issued by him! Do you know why he did that? ”
"Hmm...... It should have been bought by Blind Xu, or he and Blind Xu were in the same group at all. Jiang Lan said without thinking.
He Daochang shook his head: "Although Poor Dao is not familiar with Yu Fengqiu, he has also seen him a few times, according to Poor Dao, he is by no means an easy person to buy!" As for whether he is blind or not, it is the gamble itself......"
After He Daochang finished speaking, everyone was confused by him, and Jiang Lan said bluntly: "Old Dao, what you said is too cloudy!" I don't even understand what you mean. ”
"Hehe, what Poor Dao means is that instead of waiting for the people from Green Forest Road to kill you, it is better for you to send it directly to the door!" He Daochang said, he glanced at Jiang Lan, who was opening his mouth wide, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Seeing this, the Taoist chief stroked his beard and continued to explain: "Xiaoyou don't need to be surprised, although this method seems to be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, it is actually a desperate way to survive. Just imagine, if the other party is Xu Blind's person, then he must know the reason. And if not, then he must be threatened by Xu Blind. If it is the latter, then we may not be able to cooperate with it and deal with Xu Blind together. ”
"Uh...... Taoist ...... Your method sounds a bit interesting, but to find Yu Fengqiu, it seems that it is better to go to the Water Snake Ridge to catch Xu Blind. "It's good that Daochang He didn't explain, but when he explained, Jiang Lan was even more confused.
"No, no! Looking for Xu Blind is like climbing a nine-story tower. Looking for Yu Fengqiu, there is a ladder to the sky, and this ladder is Jiang Xiaoyou's head! ”
……
After some explanations from the Taoist chief, everyone finally understood the purpose of his plan.
In short, everyone pretended to capture Jiang Lan and then tied him up and sent him to Yu Fengqiu. When they arrived, they saw the opportunity to act. Either restrain it and force it to ask the truth. Either cooperate with him and deal with Xu Blind together.
If you win the bet, you will have a breakthrough. If you lose, the lives of several people will be accounted for there.
"The way is that it can be, but it's too risky......" Xiang Beichuan had concerns written on his face. He lowered his head and thought for a while before shaking his head and sighing, "But there is no better way right now." ”
"That's right! If you want me to say, instead of hiding like this, you might as well take a risk! ”
Hearing Jiang Lan's words, Xiang Beichuan also nodded, he pondered for a while, then looked at everyone and said, "Brother Jiang Lan and I are both insiders, and we can't get out." It's just that...... It's just that the other brothers are not among them, and Erhu and Shunzi already have wives and children at home. In this matter, only the two of us can go, and the other brothers should not continue to be in danger! ”
"Boss Xiang, what do you call this?" The second tiger is relatively straightforward, and as soon as he heard Xiang Beichuan's words, he immediately became unwilling, "You brought a few brothers here, should you chat with you to relieve your boredom?" I don't care about others, anyway, since my second tiger is here, I will definitely follow to the end! ”
"Erhu is right! Does Boss Xiang think that after the brothers marry wives and have children, they become afraid of death? Our brothers crawled out of the pile of dead people together! Now there are just a few quacks in front of us, how can they scare us! Junko echoed.
The native students on the side also nodded when they heard this, but Daoist He just smiled, but did not speak.
"Good! Xiang met a few brothers in this life, and he was content to die! ”
Xiang Beichuan bowed his hand to everyone, and then looked at Tusheng and Dao Chang: "The Tusheng brothers have never practiced martial arts, although Dao Chang He has more than enough kung fu on his body, it is difficult to fight the enemy." The two of you will please help take care of this Qiyun Village. Fortunately, in case of emergency, there will be a response for us. The other three brothers, in case of further accidents, let's leave early tomorrow morning! ”
