Chapter 140: Preemptive Strike
"Hahahaha, what my sister said is mysterious!"
Yang Meng chewed the last bone and swallowed it, wiped his hands on the placket of his clothes, and said disdainfully: "This is Fengjindu, this is the horse market, here we are the sky." Whoever messes around will die. ”
"Well said. ”
Jiang Shanren was still at the gate, so he praised loudly. The leader of the Jiang family is not tall, and he is also dark and thin, but his eyes are bright and bright, which makes people dare not look directly.
Behind Jiang Shan are Jiang He, Jiang Tong, Jiang Yu and other Jiang families. There are thirty or forty of them. Many people also wear armor and carry bows, as if they come to the door to fight.
A group of big men in the big courtyard also looked at the Jiang family vigilantly.
The Jiang family has an official background and has always been the head of the twelve families in the horse market, and their appearance is relatively ugly. It's just that the Jiang family is the strongest, and everyone eats in the same pot, and they can only open and close their eyes.
A large group of people from the Jiang family came over with knives and swords, who knows what they are here for.
Yang Meng didn't care, he had adventures since he was a child, and at the age of thirty-five, he became a legend and was the strongest man in the horse market. As long as the Jiang family is not crazy, they dare not touch him in the Iron Clothes Gang.
Besides, today is a big day for the Jockey Club. Heroes from all over the world gathered, even if the Jiang family wanted to turn their faces and do something, they would not pick this time.
If there is really a big chaos today, the order of the horse market that has been maintained for more than ten years will immediately collapse. What advantage can the Jiang family take advantage of?
Yang Meng said unceremoniously: "Old Jiang, are you scaring me with so many people?"
Jiang Shan squinted and shook his hand with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just that there are too many outsiders today, so bring more people to the scene." ”
Jiang Shan waved his hand to the people behind him again, signaling them not to follow, and he walked to Yang Meng by himself and sat down, "Brother, among the twelve families, I have always valued you the most. You know that, too. ”
"Haha......"
Yang Mengren is rough, but he can roll on the rivers and lakes for 30 years, and he can achieve a legend, how can he take this kind of thing seriously.
He glanced at Jiang Shan: "Old Jiang, it's so familiar, you can say it directly." ”
Jiang Shan didn't care, he asked curiously, "I heard that Hongyi went to meet a new guest this morning?"
"What, your Jiang family has made a reservation. That's for you. ”
Yang Meng didn't care about this, the horse market could make money in a serious business, so he didn't want to go the wrong way. When people take many evil paths, their hearts become evil. Can't do big things.
Jiang Shan smiled: "Brother is righteous." That man was just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. If there is a real harvest, there must be a brother. ”
He paused and smiled, and said with a solemn face: "Brother, did you hear, something big happened in the east." ”
"Old Jiang, just say it if you want to, don't sell it. ”
Yang Meng is very disgusted with people like Jiang Shan, he speaks mysteriously and secretly, and deliberately takes advantage of people's appetite. It's boring.
If it were someone else, he would pinch his neck and squeeze out the other party's feces and urine.
Jiang Shan was scolded a few words in a row, even if he was a little embarrassed even if he was very thick-skinned, he laughed dryly and hurriedly turned to the topic: "A large army has come from the East China Sea, and it has entered the counties of the East China Sea. It is said that in just a few days, it has broken through hundreds of cities and advanced thousands of miles, pointing directly at the imperial capital!"
"Huh?"
The East China Sea is too far from the northwest, and there is no direct communication. Yang Meng had never cared about the situation on that side, and it was the first time he heard the news.
Yang Meng was also a little shocked, although the imperial court is now decaying, it has a million armor and is full of arms. The nomads in the northwest have stopped a lot in recent years.
Moreover, the Tenryu Temple was destroyed only a few days ago, and the momentum soared. Everyone in the rivers and lakes is in danger, for fear of becoming the next target.
Where did the strong enemy come from, breaking a hundred cities in one fell swoop?
Yang Meng asked in surprise: "Whose soldiers and horses are this?"
"I don't know, it is said that the armor is excellent, and there are hundreds of thousands of people. The army of our court was crushed at the touch of a button. ”
Although Jiang Shan has no feelings for the imperial court, when he talks about this, he can't help but sigh. He had always felt that the extremely powerful imperial court was actually vulnerable.
Yang Meng thought for a moment and asked, "What does old ginger mean?"
"The world is about to change. ”
Jiang Shan sighed in a low voice, and then said in a deep voice: "This will have to hold the sword and horse, so that you are qualified to speak and be qualified to stand on your feet." Brother, you understand, right?"
"I understand, but what do you want to do?"
Of course, Yang Meng knew what Jiang Shan meant, and he could also understand the chaos that would be caused by the collapse of the imperial court. He just didn't quite understand what Jiang Shan wanted to do.
"The imperial court has sealed the news very tightly, and the news has not spread for the time being. However, some large trading houses also sensed that something was wrong, and they had to buy more horses for backup this time. ”
Jiang Shan's old face showed a bit of ruthlessness, and the thin old paw shook it hard: "We'll deduct all the money." Whoever is disobedient destroys whom. When the time comes, we will have money, horses, swords, and people, not to mention being the emperor, it is always possible to be an anti-king all the way. ”
Yang Meng looked at Jiang Shan deeply, he always felt that this old man had calculated too much, and he didn't have much weight. I didn't expect to underestimate him, but he still has the ambition to be crowned the emperor.
It's just that the ambition is too big. If the imperial court defeats the invading army, there will be no chaos in the world. A few of them were embarrassed.
In one fell swoop, all the big commercial houses in the northwest were offended, even if they didn't raise the anti-flag, don't think about mixing in the northwest again.
When the time comes, I can only plunge into the northwest grassland as a horse bandit and grab food with the nomadic savages.
Seeing Yang Meng hesitate, Jiang Shan spat at the mouthful, "Brother, you are usually brave, but you are cowardly at a critical moment?" There are thousands of people in my Jiang family, all rely on the court to eat, and they don't hesitate to do things, and your family is only two people, afraid of a fart." ”
"You want to be crowned the king and the emperor, and you are willing to take risks. ”
Yang Meng said slowly: "I'm just an idler who eats and waits for death, and I want to risk killing my head to do big things, of course I have to think about it carefully." ”
Jiang Shan was a little anxious, Yang Meng was rough and brave on weekdays, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, he was careful and didn't make decisions.
Yang Meng disagreed, and the other ten families were afraid that few would be willing.
The twelve alliances within the horse market can't handle it, and they still talk about big things.
Yang Meng looked at Jiang Shan's way of looking like that, and he was even more disinterested. This old man has a heart but no city, he is ruthless but he can't do a big thing.
He said, "Old Jiang, don't worry, let me think about it." ”
Jiang Shan saw Yang Meng shirk and knew that the matter was going to be over. He didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he lowered his head and whispered in Yang Meng's ear: "Brother, of course, this kind of big thing is the ...... of His Royal Highness King Lin."
Yang Meng suddenly realized that he was still strange just now, Jiang Shan's courage was so great. It turned out that Chen Jun wanted to rebel!
Chen Jun is the nephew of the current emperor, and his father died early, and he inherited the title of King Lin. This person has always been ambitious, privately raising dead soldiers, and colluding with high-rollers to form a secret organization.
In the Northwest generation, this Lin King's reputation is very stinky. Yang Meng knew that the Jiang family had a big backer behind him, but he didn't expect it to be on the line of King Lin.
In this way, everything makes sense.
Jiang Shan said again: "Your Highness will arrive at noon today, and there will be 30,000 troops with him. ”
Yang Meng looked at Jiang Shan who was proud, and really wanted to blow the opponent's head with a punch.
This fool really thinks that rebellion can be crowned as a prince? With the reputation of King Lin's brutality, it is impossible to succeed.
Besides, the foreign races that the court can't fight, King Lin is even more vain.
But looking at Jiang Shan's posture, if you don't agree today, you can't be good.
Chen Jundu personally came with the army. It's made up his mind to swallow the horse market and keep the money and the horses.
Such a barbaric and rude method is indeed Chen Jun's style.
If you don't agree now, Jiang Shan doesn't dare to say anything, but when Chen Jun arrives, he will definitely turn his face. He is not afraid, but Hongyi and these hundreds of brothers are all in danger.
I heard that Chen Jun has a teacher named Wang Tiantian, who is a legendary powerhouse and is proficient in spells. With Chen Jun's title of prince, it will be too difficult to recruit one or two legendary powerhouses on the rivers and lakes.
The other party is very strong, he can't fight.
Yang Meng smiled when he thought of this: "Old ginger is really old ginger, it's really spicy." In the future, please take care of Lao Jiang, and say two good words to us at His Royal Highness King Lin. ”
"From now on, everyone will be a family, easy to talk about. ”
Jiang Shan saw that Yang Meng softened, his heart was happy, and his old face was full of smiles, he looked at Yang Hongyi and said: "The red clothes are so beautiful, if His Royal Highness King Lin likes it, you will be a relative of the emperor in the future, hahahaha......"
"Haha......"
Yang Meng accompanied him with a dry laugh and waved his hand twice and said, "Don't dare to climb high, don't dare to climb high." ”
Jiang Shan saw that Yang Meng was not interested in this, so he opened the topic with interest: "King Lin is here for the purple moon flower of the Iron Eagle Department." Purple Moon Flower is Iron Eagle's favorite daughter, King Lin asked him to go back and be a princess, so he married Iron Eagle Ministry......"
Without waiting for Jiang Shan to finish speaking, Yang Meng pulled down his face: "Are you crazy, you can marry Tie Ying's daughter by forcibly kidnapping it?" Tie Ying will never tolerate such humiliation." ”
"It's man-made. ”
Jiang Shanzhi didn't care, "You have to try, if you can't send people back." ”
Jiang Shan just notified Yang Meng and asked him to help keep an eye on Ziyuehua, as for the sudden appearance of a wealthy high-roller, it was all a trivial matter.
When the army arrived, not only did everyone have to hand over their money, but they also had to go with the army.
If you want to go home, don't mention it without taking a large ransom.
After Jiang Shan left, Yang Meng spat out a big mouthful of spit and the eighteen generations of the Jiang family with his tongue.
Yang Hongyi walked over with some worry and said, "They're crazy, right?"
She was standing on the side and could hear clearly. She couldn't understand the actions of Jiang Shan, Chen Jun and others.
Chen Jun has been waiting for another opportunity, and now that the opportunity has come, he can't wait. ”
Yang Meng sighed: "I'm not afraid that he is ambitious, I'm not afraid that he is brutal, what is really terrible is Chen Jun's incompetence." ”
Yang Meng lowered his voice and said to Yang Hongyi: "Let's make do with it first, and run away if we find a chance." Chen Jun will definitely not succeed. ”
In fact, he is not familiar with Chen Jun, but just looking at Chen Jun's methods of doing things this time, he knows that this person is both arrogant and fierce, and he leaves no room for doing things.
In this way, even if a person becomes a bandit, he will not live long. Not to mention participating in the world competition.
"You go and meet with Purple Moon Flower and talk to her. Leave a personal favor. ”
Yang Meng said: "If there is really no place to go in the future, I can only go to the grassland to mix rice." It's easy to mix things up with this favor......"
Yang Meng stopped and said, "The other side of the ferry must be blocked, Ziyuehua really wants to run, so go and grab that Wanli Fire." This horse is miraculous, it can cross the mouth of the river, as long as it crosses the encirclement, no one will catch up. ”
Yang Hongyi nodded, she led a horse and jumped up, whipping the horse away.
Yuan Hu stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking around with interest.
The inn is located at the end of the long street, and from his view, the whole long street is very lively. All kinds of vendors are open for business.
Selling food, fruit and snacks, needles and threads, cloth and clothing, the whole long street is messy and sells everything, and it is extremely lively together.
There are also many people on the long street, most of them are high-rollers with swords and swords. One by one, the eyes are not good.
Yuan Hu has come all the way, in fact, they are all very backward small towns. It's the first time I've seen such a lively scene.
Moreover, there are many people here. swept it at a glance, and it was a bit of a martial arts movie.
It's just that the rivers and lakes are cruel and not as romantic as the movie. Most people are unkempt, that is, few are neatly dressed.
This is also normal, people in the rivers and lakes have no fixed residence, and they sleep in the open air, how can it be possible to wear clean clothes all day long. In ancient times, the sanitary conditions were not good, and the hair was still long, and men did not wash their hair once a month. Still want to be clean?
If a man is not covered in black sweat and mud, and there are no big lice crawling around, then it is considered clean.
Yuan Hu's body source power runs naturally, forming an invisible burqa against the surface of his body. There is no dust on Zhou's body, and even the smell can be selectively filtered.
With only this cleanliness, Yuan Hu is like a white lotus in the mud, and he is better than everyone else with only clarity and purity.
Anyone who saw Yuan Hu couldn't help but look twice. If Yuan Hu wants to change into a Taoist robe, and then have a white beard and white hair, he will definitely be worshiped as a god a long time ago.
Yuan Hu waited for the hidden dragon to come out, and the two wandered around the street for a while, found a food stall that looked fairly clean, and asked for two bowls of wide noodles.
This noodle soup has a lot of pepper and chili peppers, which is spicy and sticky, and with strong wide noodles, it tastes good.
Yuan Hu had just finished eating, and he saw Yang Hongyi and a woman in purple walking over side by side. Behind the two of them were a large number of guards.
Pedestrians on the long street were forcibly squeezed to both sides by this group of people. Everyone is smart, and no one dares to talk nonsense.
The woman in purple wore a hood on her face and a light veil on her face. Looking at the style of her clothes, it is also a little weird, it should be from the grassland.
Although Yuan Hu couldn't see the face of the woman in purple clearly, he could roughly guess her age, which should be less than twenty years old. And the long ones won't be ugly.
However, this woman's cultivation is very good, and she is a cut above Yang Hongyi. It's just one step away from being a legend.
This world is full of power, and it is easy for gifted people to grow up. Moreover, the battle is fierce. It can stimulate people's potential even more.
Although the martial arts in the real world are prevalent, they are too peaceful and easy after all. It is difficult to bring out the potential of people.
As a young man, Yuan Hu naturally pays attention to beautiful women, especially young beauties. If he doesn't like to pay attention to beautiful women, that's scary.
The two women also sensed Yuan Hu's gaze, and the two looked sideways at Yuan Hu together.
Yang Hongyi's eyes were full of vigilance, and she now felt that Yuan Hu was likely to be a strong man sent by King Lin.
The purple-clothed woman's eyes were full of curiosity, she had never seen such a clean man. Even cleaner than the woman who loves beauty the most.
She was born in the Iron Eagle Tribe, and she admires brave and fierce men the most. I don't look down on the men of the Central Plains. Especially those sons and literati and the like, they can't help but be weak, they are not as good as a woman, they are all waste.
But Yuan Hu gave her a very different feeling, clean but not weak, but indescribably pure and powerful.
"Who is this?" asked the woman in purple to Yang Hongyi.
"It's likely to be a master of King Lin, you must be careful......"
Yang Hongyi was afraid that Ziyuehua would be ignorant, and if she came into contact with Yuan Hu, she would be easily hijacked by Yuan Hu.
Although Purple Moon Flower is curious, she is not the kind of little girl who is not sensible. She nodded and stopped looking at Yuan Hu.
The two beauties walked farther and farther away with a group of entourage, and Yang Hongyi was still whispering to Ziyuehua about the horror of King Lin, as well as the various conspiracies prepared by the other party.
The street was so noisy, Yang Hongyi controlled his voice with his source power, and covered his mouth when he spoke, and he was not afraid of others hearing it.
Yang Hongyi never thought that Yuan Hu, who was sitting at the food stall, could hear it clearly.
"Lin Wang Chen Jun, with tens of thousands of troops, is coming to sweep the horse market, and wants to rob everyone and property?"
Yuan Hu heard that this was worth it, is there still a king law and heavenly reason!
As a guardian of justice and the embodiment of chivalry, how could he allow such an evil tyrant to exist, how could he allow such a vicious conspiracy to be carried out!
Master Lu said it well: strike first!
Yuan Hu flicked his sleeves and got up to leave the food stall. That posture is elegant, like an immortal.
The owner of the food stall was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and shouted: "Don't leave, guests, the food money hasn't been paid yet." ”
Hidden Dragon patted the table lightly and threw a piece of broken silver, "I'll give you the money for the meal." ”
The boss hesitated to take the broken silver, bit it with his teeth, and didn't feel at ease to take out the scissors and cut it, and saw that the color was full, so he served a big bowl of hot soup with a smile on his face, and said arrogantly: "Drink the soup casually, no money." ”
Yuan Hu, who will be here, has already arrived at King Lin's camp.
