Fan Li, accompanied by Huang Feiyun, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, rode a horse to the Black Dragon Pass. More than a hundred bandits followed, and at the end was a group of minions carrying the wounded bandits.

On the night when Fan Li crossed the Yangtze River, because the wind and waves on the river were too strong, he stayed at the house of the old boatman Du Tao. The old man cried about his family history of blood and tears. Ten years ago, a gang of robbers broke in, killed his son, and robbed his daughter-in-law Shaojiang. Later, I found out that this gang of robbers was entrenched in a place called Heilongkou in Jiangbei, and the leader was called Liu Zhanxiong.

The gang of bandits that Fan Li met today were also entrenched in the mouth of the Black Dragon, but the leader was this fat Huang Feiyun.

Now the question is, is this gang of robbers the same gang that killed Tao Zhou and robbed Shao Jiang? If it was that gang of robbers, why did the leader change to Huang Feiyun? What's the secret here?

The change of the supreme leader of a team is a big deal, and the reason for the change is a sensitive topic. It is nothing more than several reasons, the first of which is a normal replacement, such as the former chief, who died of illness, died in battle, or left for some reason. This can be said. Their privacy will not be touched. The second is an abnormal replacement, such as because of the conflict of interests between the leaders, there was an internal fire, and Huang Feiyun killed Liu Zhanxiong. Became the boss. It's hard to inquire about this. It's a scandal.

The most important thing is that Shao Jiang is still alive? If Shaojiang is still alive, Fan Li can destroy the bandits' nest by the way, rescue Shaojiang, and reunite her with her son Xiaobo. If Shao Ji is dead, then it will be meaningless for Fan Li to meddle with this matter anymore. There are too many injustices in the world, and he can't control them. He had more important things to do.

What should I do, only when I know whether Shaojiang is still alive can I decide.

There is also a question, Huang Feiyun led a group of bandits to harass the town in order to expand their territory, and was beaten by Fan Li, not only did not hold a grudge against Fan Li, but also invited Fan Li to be a guest. This is somewhat counterintuitive. But what's the secret? What is Huang Feiyun's purpose? Huang Feiyun simply envied and admired Fan Li's reputation and martial arts, and gave birth to a sense of heroic sympathy, so he invited Fan Li to visit? I'm afraid it's not that simple. If Shao Jiang is still alive, if Fan Li wants to rescue Shao Jiang, he should find out the situation here.

These questions were running fast in Fan Li's mind. But his expression on the surface was still indifferent, chatting with Huang Feiyun without a match.

Fan Li said: "Big boss, how far is your helm mansion?" ”

Huang Feiyun said: "It's not far, there are still more than 20 miles. ”

Fan Li said: "How many centaurs are there in your Black Dragon Society?" ”

Huang Feiyun was stunned, this matter should be considered confidential. Fan Li hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked here." ”

Huang Feiyun laughed and said, "You can't say this to outsiders, it's not a secret to you Uncle Fan." Uncle is the person I admire the most, and I should introduce him without waiting for him to ask. There were nearly 200 of us. ”

Fan Li sighed: "It's amazing, it's a decent team." ”

Huang Feixiong said: "Uncle is laughing, that is, a group of poor brothers eat together." ”

Fan Li said: "I'm a little curious. I haven't done what you did, and I don't know how you make a living. Is it just to go down the mountain and loot at will, oh, looting is too ugly. ”

Huang Feiyun smiled awkwardly: "No, we don't usually do that. We have our own territory, and within this territory we protect the common people, and the common people will pay money and food to support us. ”

Fan Li nodded, this turned out to be a small warlord who divided one side. Fan Li said: "How big is your territory? ”

Huang Feiyun said: "It's less than a hundred miles away, but it's sparsely populated. Nothing oil and water. So we also want to expand our territory. ”

Fan Li smiled: "I have an idea, why don't you play Zhou Tianzi and get a title?" That would be legal. ”

Huang Feiyun shook his head, sighed and said, "Uncle, why didn't we want to? But it can't be. We tried. It didn't work out. ”

Fan Li said: "This is a little troublesome, how do you coordinate the relationship with the local government?" They don't send troops to encircle and suppress? ”

Huang Feiyun said: "This is not going to happen, those who are officials have all benefited from us, so they will turn a blind eye." ”

A group of bandits, if they want to survive on a piece of territory, it is impossible without the umbrella of the government. The collusion of officials and bandits, the common people, from ancient times to the present, is the same. Pity the common people who have suffered on this side, and grow a little food with their own sweat, not only to fulfill the tax burden of the government, but also to support a group of bandits.

Heaven and earth are so great that injustices are everywhere. There was too little he could manage, and Fan Li felt tired. How did the world come to this point? The world is really getting worse and worse. He remembered Lao Tzu's discourse on the widows of small countries. But is it possible to go back to that era? Apparently impossible.

Fan Li said: "The big boss, are you the only one leading this group of brothers? ”

Huang Feixiong said: "No, I also have a brother, his name is Shegan." ”

Fan Li said: "Oh, there is another second-in-command, didn't he come today?" ”

Huang Feixiong said: "I didn't come, we split up today, and he went to another place." ”

Fan Li said: "If I visit so rashly, will the second master be disgusted?" ”

Huang Feixiong said: "It's okay, you are a distinguished guest, my brother can't wait for you to be a guest." ”

Fan Li said: "That's good. I, Fan Li, am also a good friend. I also like to make friends. I'm anxious to see how heroic the shooting brother is. ”

More than 20 miles away, chatting and walking, for more than an hour, Huang Feiyun said: "It's almost there, do you see the hill in front of you?" That mountain forest is where we stand. ”

Looking up, sure enough, a hill appeared in front of me, although it was not high, but it still looked abrupt on the plain. After a while, they entered the jungle. A path leads deep from the inside.

When I got closer, I found that this was a U-shaped mountain, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, forming a natural barrier, and you can only enter the mountain through the U-shaped gap, and it is only a narrow passage. The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is really a good place.

Huang Feiyun said: "It's not easy to ride a horse in front, please get off the horse and walk." ”

The two dismounted and led their horses forward, with a narrow path on one side and a deep ravine on the other. As long as a few people hold this path, even thousands of troops will not be able to attack it.

Fan Li sighed: "This is really a place to use soldiers, and the choice of the big boss here is really discerning." ”

Huang Feiyun said: "If it was easy to fight here, we would have been eaten by the official army a long time ago." ”。

At this time, a little bandit had already run into the mountain to report the news, and after a while, he heard Xiao Jun shouting in front: "The second master has come to welcome Uncle Fan!" ”

Fan Li was curious: "What kind of robber is this?" ”
