Chapter 1 The Blue Dragon Gang Leader

It is said that after the Tuni people's branded beard Mandu Latu received the order, he selected dozens of strong men in the clan, dressed up as a business traveler, and set off to bypass the Daqi Feihong Pass with a heavy amount of silver and the leader's earnest entrustment and expectations, and sneaked into the ground of Qingzhou Mansion, ready to buy a large number of knives and guns.

After going through many difficulties and dangers along the way, he finally got into Qingzhou Mansion one day, but he was completely dumbfounded.

At this time, Qingzhou Mansion was jointly governed by Zhai Longbiao, the king of Guanxi, and Zhang Baiqian, the general of Xuanwu. The market is crowded with people, and all kinds of shouting and selling are endless.

But the excitement returned to the excitement, and Mandu Latu led his men around for two days, and there was no purchase or sale of swords, guns, swords, and halberds. He originally thought that those hard guys would be like ripe green onions, and some people would carry them to the market in bundles to sell.

Mandu Ratu's brows furrowed, and he was worried: How is this good? You can't stop a random person on the street and ask him if he sells bundles of knives and guns at home. In that case, it is estimated that if you don't see a spear, you will be caught by the soldiers patrolling the streets in neat armor!

It's a good idea to go directly to the barracks of the Red Turban Army and grab it. But as soon as he came to the head of Gesulid before leaving, he repeatedly explained that he could only buy and not rob during this trip; Second, just the dozens of them, rushing into the military camp of tens of thousands of people in broad daylight and snatching firearms, it is better to commit suicide directly by hanging the beam in the inn!

Because it's a dead end anyway, the hanging beam can kill himself and end up with a whole corpse.

Mandu Ratu and his strong men stayed in the inn for two whole days to discuss countermeasures. Pity these heroes on horseback, they are good at robbing homes and houses, and they are at a loss to come up with ideas. At dusk on this day, a subordinate of Mandu Latu who was proficient in the Central Plains language brought back a guy with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, which also brought everyone a blazing flame of hope.

He carefully put the bounty into his arms, and then stretched out his hand to pat it, making sure that it was foolproof and would not fall, and then raised his head and told everyone mysteriously: Before the Red Turban Army occupied Qingzhou Mansion, there was always a famous gang organization here, called the Qinglong Gang.

It is said that in the heyday, there were more than 1,000 people, but if there was any problem that the government could not solve, it would be possible to find the Qinglong Gang to spend some silver and two to settle it.

The little thug blinked his eyes and said: "Although the Qinglong Gang has declined now, the gang leader Brother Mu is still powerful, as long as you prepare enough silver taels, no matter what you want to buy, Brother Mu can help you do it!" The small ones can be introduced to you. ”

Hearing this, Mandu Latu and the others were overjoyed, and immediately asked the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks to get in touch with the powerful helper as soon as possible, and the sooner the two sides met, the better.

Early the next morning, the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks hurriedly brought the news: after his incorruptible tongue and unremitting efforts, Brother Mu, the leader of the Qinglong Gang, finally agreed to meet with them tonight.

Dusk was approaching, and just in case, Mandu Ratu selected three or five clansmen who were relatively good at kung fu as his entourage, and the others stayed at the inn. He carefully took out a small bag of white flowers and silver in his arms, and then walked into a relatively remote courtyard in the south of the city with the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw the figures in the hall shaking, the lights were bright, and the cups and plates were clamming lightly, and the sound of loud chatting and laughing was endless.

Mandu Rattu stepped into the hall close behind the monkey's gills, and saw a huge dining table in the center. The cups and plates on the table were in a mess, and more than a dozen hideous-looking people were eating seaweeds around the table, talking and laughing. Seeing that an outsider came in, everyone immediately stopped talking and laughing, and stared at the visitor with vicious eyes.

The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks hurriedly took a few steps, stepped forward and saluted: "The little one has seen the Mu Gang Master, these are the people I said, who are eager to ask you for help." With that, he turned and pointed to Mandu Ratu and his party.

A strong man with a wide forehead and a slanted scar on his face slowly raised his head, and looked up and down Mandu Latu and the others who had just started with his bulging eyes. He was covered in a black, dirty coat made of animal fur.

Mandu Ratu also looked up at the legendary leader of the Blue Dragon Gang. But seeing that this person has a big waist and a round waist, a horizontal face, and fierce eyes, he looks like a master who is not easy to mess with. The most conspicuous thing on his big dark square face was the long scar.

The slanted scar trembled slightly, and Gang Master Mu asked in a deep voice, "What do you need this gang leader to help you with?" As long as the silver taels prepared are sufficient, there is no business that the gang leader can't do! ”。

Mandu Ratu nodded slightly, but glanced at the others in the room uneasily, walked forward quickly, walked to the side of the Mu Gang Master, and muttered a few words in his ear.

"Oh, what kind of hard thing should I do, just these little things?!". Gang Master Mu slowly raised his head and rolled his eyes and glanced at Mandu Latu dissatisfiedly.

Gang Leader Mu raised his hand and picked up the wine bowl on the table, poured himself a big sip, and then wiped the wine flowing down his beard and said: "To tell you the truth, this gang leader has worked hard here for many years, from the current county guard to the three sects and nine streams, many of them are my old friends and old friends. There are no outsiders here, they are all my brothers. ”

Then he stood up, waved his big hand and said, "Don't you just want to buy a batch of knives and guns?" If you had come a few days earlier, these little things would have been done long ago, and I was here last night drinking with the commander in charge of the armory in the barracks. ”

The dozen or so people in the audience who were eating and drinking also nodded their heads again and again, echoing them.

Seeing this, Mandu Latu was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: "Gang Master Mu is really powerful, then I will leave it all to you!" After the deed is done, I will be grateful. ”

Gang Master Mu waved his hand heroically and said, "It's just a trivial matter, why bother? How much you need, you can just quote the quantity. It's just that...... Let's talk ugly ahead, you can't miss a single star of this silver, otherwise don't blame the gang leader for turning his face with you at that time! Two days later, the dusk is still here, you inspect the goods in advance and pay a deposit of 30%. When the large quantities are ready, I will tell you the specific delivery time and location. ”

Mandu Latu pondered for a moment about the conditions proposed by Gang Leader Mu, and nodded again and again. After thanking him for his kindness, he took out a small bag of tattooed silver from his arms, stuffed it to Gang Master Mu and said: "This little meaning is that we will wait to offer it to the Gang Master, please lead the brothers to drink some wine. ”。

Gang Master Mu lowered his head and took the bag of silver taels and checked it in his hand. The deep old scar on his face shook twice unconsciously, and then he smiled calmly: "In this way, the little brother knows quite the rules of the rivers and lakes." It's rare! In fact, you just want the jewel set in the crown on the head of the saint today, and this gang leader can still get it! ”

Two days passed by in a snap of a finger. But for the anxious Mandu Ratu and others, it seems that they are living like years.

When I came to the courtyard again, it was still night, and the hall was still brightly lit. When they entered the door, Mandu Latu felt that his eyes lit up, and he saw several bright steel knives on the table, the back of which was much wider than the scimitar they used to use on the grassland, and there were several red tassel spears with shiny tips in the corners.

Mandu Ratu glanced at his entourage, and the few nodded understandingly, stepped forward and grabbed the steel knife, first weighed it, and then gently tested the sharpness of the blade with their fingers, and then nodded slightly to Mandu Ratu.

After the swords and guns were tested, Mandu Latu clenched his fists with a red face and said: "Gang Master Mu is really powerful, and he is also resolute in doing things!" Admirable. ”

Gang Master Mu smiled humbly: "Little brother has won the prize, these are just some samples, let you wait for a reassuring pill first, and a large batch will be ready soon." As he spoke, he paused for a moment, stared at Mandu Ratu and whispered, "Have you brought the deposit?" We also have to look at it, and we must first be honest in doing business, so that we can make friends."

"That's that! I, the Tunis, have always been true to our word. As he spoke, he turned his face to the other attendant. The man held a cloth package in his hand, stepped forward, and gently placed it on the table before carefully opening the package.

A silver ingot of white flowers was revealed, and the oblique scar on the face of the Mu gang leader shook uncontrollably a few times, he waved his hand and ordered someone to check the silver tael, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you can go back to the inn and sleep with your head covered, and when I have prepared the goods, I will inform you at any time of the time and place of delivery." ”

He turned back to Mandu Ratu and asked, "With so many knives and guns, do you have chariots and horses?" The Sprinkle family has a word first, I am only responsible for sending you out of the Qingzhou Mansion safely, and I don't care about the future! ”。

Mandu Latu hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, as long as we can leave Qingzhou Mansion safely, we will have our own people come to meet us when we cross the border." ”

Looking at the back of Mandu Ratu and his party leaving in a hurry, a treacherous smile appeared on the face of the leader of the Qinglong Gang, and his bulging eyes flickered thoughtfully.

In the imperial study in the inner courtyard of the palace in the capital, Xiao Shunzi was prostrate on the ground, and 1510 reported his visit to the girl who was like smoke in prison.

Then he waited with his head bowed with joy for a violent storm, but there was no movement for a long time.

He raised his head boldly, only seeing the back of his master, and not the expression on his face.

Xiao Shunzi couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: according to the master's temper in the past, Long Yan should have been furious at this time, and with a wave of his hand, he crushed the dusty woman who didn't know the height of the sky and the earth into powder! How could he be so quiet without saying a word? It's really unpredictable, but it's good that I didn't completely tear my face with that dusty woman in prison, otherwise...... In case of......

He followed the gaze of the saint and looked forward, and saw a portrait hanging there, and in the portrait was a beautiful woman with a serene expression looking into the distance with a resentful gaze.

"Xiao Shunzi, pass on my message, tomorrow I will acquit the girl like smoke, and I must not embarrass her."

What's what? Junko shook his head vigorously, he suspected that he had misheard, and pricked up his ears to listen again.

Li Hongji turned around and glared at him fiercely. The young emperor's face was pale, his eyes were red, and his teeth were clenched, but he closed his lips tightly and did not say a word, looking like he was about to kill someone.

Xiao Shunzi shivered all over for no reason, hurriedly bowed his head and kowtowed, and hurriedly retreated with weak legs.
