In the rudder of the Yueyang Beggar Gang, a strange letter arrived here, and seeing the mark on it, the disciple hurriedly sent it to the rudder elder.

The elder quickly read it, and was greatly surprised in his heart, without delay, he immediately rushed to Zhang's house to find Li Yuan, Bai Fan was not there at this time, Yueyang was Li Yuan who was in charge of rescuing Bai Fan, this matter was important, and Li Yuan needed to make a decision.

"Old man, you see, this is a secret letter received by the beggar gang this morning, I don't know its source, but it has been verified, it is indeed the mark and handwriting of the gang leader.

It's just that, for some reason, the helper gave such a strange order. ”

Li Yuan took the letter and read it carefully, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "According to what Fan'er said, this time is not only to rescue Fan'er, but also the main force of the imperial court to suppress bandits, although there are many people in the beggar gang, but it is only a martial arts sect, not good at army combat, there is no need to make senseless sacrifices, just escort grain and grass, and pass on news." ”

The elder nodded, thinking that the helper should also consider this.

Puzzled, he asked: "Since the helper can spread the message to the outside world, why don't you tell him where he is, so that we can go to the rescue, but only this one thing is said?" ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "How can it be so easy, thinking that this is with the permission of the other party, he will hand out the news, besides, this alone is enough to explain a lot of things, the other party is powerful, not an ordinary bandit, even if it is a beggar gang, there will be huge casualties, not the regular army of the imperial court."

That is to say, the people in the green forest actually have little effect, and Fan'er is prompting the imperial court to send more troops and horses. Besides, he seems to have agreed with the other party about something, so he won't let the beggars help, it seems that he has no worries about his life at this time! ”

The elder admired in his heart, this is the gap, a commanding letter in his eyes, the old man can interpret so many things, it seems that the vision of the big man is different.

On the other side, Zhang Shigui and the others had nothing to do, and in addition to focusing on defense, they also got a task, that is, to interrogate the killer who was caught.

At the beginning, Bai Fan captured the Black Widow, the first assassin of the underworld, but he didn't have time to interrogate, so he went to rescue the painting boat, and finally didn't come back.

But Zhang Shigui and the others are also masters of torture, even if they haven't seen it, they have heard of it, and after using it one by one, the assassin is really tough, although it is a woman, he can't say a word.

Zhang Shigui remembered the highly poisonous itching powder used by Li Yuanba on the painting boat, that thing was a hundred times more powerful than the punishment, imagine how painful it was to tie up her limbs, sprinkle itching powder, and itch her whole body to the bone marrow but not scratch it?

So he went to ask Poison Nameless for it, and when Poison Nameless heard that this was the case, he began to ridicule Zhang Shigui for being rude: "It's too simple to want someone to tell the truth, why use itchy powder?" I've got an exclusive secret elixir here!

One goes down, and she will say whatever you ask him, and promise to explain her ancestors for eighteen generations. ”

"So amazing? Hurry up, get a bottle! Zhang Shigui urged.

"A bottle? Are you a robber? There is only one, this thing has no market, and it is not easy to refine, so there are not many productions, aren't you just a prisoner? Poison was nameless and speechless.

"It's just in case!"

……

"What's your name? What for? ”

"The slave family was originally a textile girl from a good family, named Zhang Guilan, married to her husband Qin Wen, and later ......"

"Stop, Lao Zhang, ask the point, you are not going to marry her, why are you asking this?" Zhai Changsun next to him couldn't stand it anymore, interrupted the black widow, and said to Zhang Shigui.

"Who told you to kill Bai Fan? Who are you? Where is the lair? ”

"I don't know, someone paid me to make a business, saying that I would blend into a team called Longmen Dart Bureau, have a good relationship with them, and then listen to their orders, and use the method of diverting the tiger from the mountain to divert the leader of the dragon from the mountain to lead away for two hours.

I didn't know that the other party was Bai Fan, and I didn't want to kill him, but later, seeing that Bai Fan was going to see through the conspiracy, I could only assassinate him to drag him to complete the task. Black Widow explained the whole story in detail.

Zhai Changsun asked, "Who paid to invite you?" ”

"I don't know, the rules of the underworld, take money to do things, don't ask the source and don't ask the opponent."

Zhang Shigui and Zhai Changsun glanced at each other, this matter is difficult to do, the other party thinks so precisely, it seems that it was premeditated, this assassin Black Widow is a chess piece, otherwise who would dare to deal with the world's number one business in the martial arts?

"In this way, we can only see what news there is from Zidan's side."

To the west of Dongting Lake, there is a city called Wuling, which is the Wuling in the Peach Blossom Spring, and there is a Jianghu family here, the Xu family!

The old man Xu Qingtian is known as a one-handed Qingtian, and his kung fu is all over a pair of fleshy palms, which is quite powerful in the local area, but he has a son with a very bad reputation, that is, the 'amorous son' in the underworld, despite this, because of the face of the old man Xu, the people in the rivers and lakes just turn a blind eye to the amorous son, after all, this guy is not evil, at most he is greedy and lustful.

But on this day, Wuling came to five hundred rivers and lakes, without saying a word, went straight to the Xu family's mansion in Wuling City, five hundred people all had clear swords and guns, murderous, obviously looking for trouble.

"Young master, there is no one in the entire Xu family mansion, not even a maid and servant." Zhang Hu reported to Zhang Zidan.

"Hmph, they saw the opportunity to run fast, go, go to the beggars in the city to divide the rudder, and ask them if there is any trace of the Xu family!"

Two days later, Zhang Zidan returned with people depressed, Zhang Wu knew that this was the result, the other party had a careful plan for the assassination, if it weren't for Bai Fan's life for life, there would be absolutely no solution to this trip, since the act was revealed, then the Xu family was a famous existence, how could he not run.

"It doesn't matter, my father has issued an order to chase and kill the rivers and lakes, but if anyone from the Xu family appears on the rivers and lakes again, they will be chased and killed by fellow people in the green forest. Now you go and clean up a few mansions around, several of your uncles and uncles will bring people to Yueyang, and there are many colleagues who have come to help the boxer, we have to entertain them." ”

Not to mention the unsmooth operation of the Zhang family, not to mention Li Jing and his entourage, who have been off for three or four days, Li Jing, Li Yuanji, and Li Jiancheng came to Luoyang to find Zhang Liang to borrow troops, Zhang Liang didn't say a word, picked up 10,000 old subordinates, and followed Li Jing south on the road within half a day, Bai Fan and his party had a friendship with Zhang Liang here in Luoyang, and now they were detained by a group of bandits, how can this be endured?

I don't know what channel the Dongting Lake bandits learned about the news of the imperial court's mobilization of troops, and the chief steward Lai Meng also laughed and said: "Only 20,000 soldiers and horses dare to threaten to exterminate us?" He, Li Shimin, is a toad yawning and blowing nonsense? ”

Xu Qingtian opened his mouth and said: "The other party is Li Jing, who is known as the god of the Tang Dynasty, personally leads the team, although there are 20,000, but Li Jing is the best at winning more with less, so we can't be careless." ”

"Afraid of what? They have Li Jing, and we also have General Dinglao, he is a legendary figure, known as one of the nine elders of Xing Sui, when it comes to fighting, Li Jing is still a junior! ”

Ding Yanping frowned and said: "Li Jing, the old man has also heard of it, he is the nephew of the Great Sui General Han Baohu, and he has the true inheritance of Han Baohu with all his skills, so the old man does not dare to defeat him after speaking, but he only has 20,000 troops, which is really not to be feared." ”

Just when the water bandits were proud, another army of soldiers and horses in Chang'an was dispatched, and it was an army of 10,000, but there was no oath meeting, no strong liquor, only one sentence: 'Quietly enter the village, don't shoot!' This is the mantra that Cheng Huaimo learned from his master.

Li Yuanba was puzzled, why didn't he rush to save people, but he had to go so late? Do you want to hide your trail and break it into pieces?

Cheng Huaimo's explanation is: "The imperial army is in the light, and we are in the dark, we can combine light and darkness and rely on each other!"

Moreover, the most important thing in a war is not strength, but intelligence, and without the enemy's knowledge, we can kill with one blow, which can determine the victory or defeat of the battlefield, rather than relying on our 10,000 people to scare the opponent away. ”

"So you're going to make everyone pretend to be beggars? Pretending to be a beggar to help a disciple go to support? ”

"That's right, who believes that the beggar gang disciples have the combat effectiveness of a regular army? We just ran the transportation, helping to transport the equipment and the grain and grass, so that we followed behind the imperial army, and when they handed over to each other, it was time for us to pick up the bargain. Cheng Huaimo said with a sneer, looking like an old fox.

…… That's how Uncle Xiao taught you to fight?
