After the excitement, Li Ling stood on the top of the mountain on the second day with a bird's-eye view, and there were a variety of smoke houses, brothels, gambling stalls, restaurants, bathhouses, etc. on the street, none of which belonged to him. Now there is no tile to cover the body, and there is no place to stand on the cone, although joining the Hongmen is also regarded as a backer, it is just a beautiful and dazzling halo. Vowed to make a difference in three years later to Teng County, and then returned to Jinan City and even Lijiazhuang in a beautiful manner. Thinking about how to get ahead.

The New Year is approaching, and Li Ling feels desolate. Thinking about the Spring Festival in my childhood, it is so unforgettable. Although sometimes he was bullied, there was also a warmth between brothers, and I don't know what happened to the two brothers. The eldest brother left home to join the Southern Revolutionary Army, and now the revolutionary army is like a bamboo, and it is almost to Shanghai, and I have not heard of his name. The second brother should be the safest, studying in the Soviet Union, probably graduating and returning to China. And this time, it's time to go back to Jinan, He Jiatang and Sun Yuzhu and other brothers don't know what is going on now.

I was thinking about it, and I heard a person walking along the winding mountain road at the bottom of the mountain, and it was Master Shanzhao. Li Ling sighed secretly. As a governor of one party back then, he is now a monk, and I don't know if it was intentional or unavoidable.

Silent Zhao came to Li Ling's side, looked into the distance, and said, "Last time, you said that the world was full of smoke again, and I don't know where to go." I send you a word, heroes come out of troubled times. Now is the time when talents are coming out, why bother living in a corner, we should look at the world. Who's in charge of the ups and downs? Be one of your generation. ”

Li Ling knew that the old monk in front of him was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, although he wanted to make friends, firstly, to improve his value, and he could also use his influence, but he couldn't figure him out, so he watched coldly and listened to him quietly.

Silent Zhao sighed slightly, and said again: "In life, ideals are important, but you must remember that relatives and families are the most important things, and when you lose them, you will know that even if you can't get the whole country back, the young man is good." Although you said that you are for the country and the people, I don't know if you are playing tricks, or if you really pity the common people, I will send a pair of blessings and creation. When I was in office, I heard that there was a place in the Qing government where a large amount of treasure was buried, and I will tell you next time I come. ”

Li Ling almost jumped up when he heard this, and his breathing was suddenly short. The Qing government has been looting for hundreds of years, and after the Xinhai Revolution, a large amount of property has not been lost, and there must be some hidden in unknown places, even if it is a small fraction, it is richer than the big businessmen of the Republic of China.

He had a submissive expression and said complimentingly: "As soon as I entered the Hanguang Temple that day, I could feel that the master was different, and the purple qi was really a high monk." Therefore, I admire and want to listen to the master's teachings every day, and I wish to be driven by the master ...... always time, but I don't know where the treasure that the master said is buried? ”

"If you want to listen to my lectures, I can satisfy you in the future. It also makes you feel that the Dharma is boundless and compassionate. I'll tell you about the treasure next time it comes. But there is one condition. ”

"Preaching...... This one....... What does the master command, even if I go to the soup and fire, I will not give up. ”

"I have a daughter who was expelled from the court, and you help me find it, and then divide some of my belongings among her. Alas! The one I'm most sorry for in my life is her. ”

"Master rest assured, I, Li Ling, guarantee with my personality, and I will definitely live up to my mission. I don't know what the name of the little girl is? Where are they banished? ”

"I forced her to marry a Shandong pawn back then, and now she should be in Shandong Province, which is one of the reasons why I chose you."

"This is the case, I will go back, I have turned the world upside down in the land of Qilu, and I will help you complete the task."

"Good...... Good....... ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Clear water, blue sky. Xiaoqin, I washed my clothes and came to the river, and Brother Erhei went to open the hero meeting in the county......" Li Ling hummed a little song and walked down the mountain. It's almost a windfall today. The treasures buried by the Qing government are certainly not a small amount, if they can find the daughter of the monk Shanzhao, these are all their own, even if they give half of it to his daughter.

Today he was so excited, when he went down the mountain to see You Fei's sad face, he didn't forget to tease, and said, "I said that the bitter gourd I ate yesterday will be shown on my face today." Eating vegetarian food every day can kill people, so we go outside and eat a big meal. ”

"Where are you still in the mood to eat?" You Fei has always been hippie and smiling, and there are few serious times, but today Li Ling was in a mood and didn't find it. "The deputy uncle has an order, let you, me, and Brother Lian Sheng escort a batch of arms to the north together."

Li Ling smiled: "This is a good thing, and the credit book can be recorded again." With your outstanding results, you can already be a pawn. If you complete this task, will you skip a grade? ”

You Fei glanced at him and said, "It's not a grade skip, Uncle Guan Tang said that if you can complete the task, you will be promoted to three levels in a row." But I also have to have a life to enjoy. Now the warlords are fighting, and there is a shortage of guns and ammunition. If he wants to pass through Zhang Zongchang's territory, is he willing to let him go? In addition, there are some leaders of local armed gangs who are heroes of the green forest, who would watch such a large amount of arms slip away under their noses. ”

Slowly calming down, Li Ling thought for a moment and said, "In this way, this is an impossible task. Why did it come to us? It's obviously difficult for me to take on a big role when I just joined the club, and you didn't do it, although Brother Lian Sheng is the fifth oldest, he is not the position of carrying the flag and leading the troops. There's something strange about it. ”

You Fei looked left and right and found that there was no one, so he whispered: "This is the personal instruction of the deputy uncle of the criminal department, let the three of us take the main force." Last time, he cut his face, and Shen Zhongkui was on the side, this is to send us to the fire pit.

Li Ling was furious and said, "I also said that Brother Hongmen treats everyone equally, and it turns out that he is also a fly camp dog. We won't take this dart. ”

You Fei hurriedly silenced and said, "This is not a bodyguard of the dart bureau. Uncle Hongmen has an order, we must swear to serve, Hongmen's rules are cumbersome, you don't have to say these words in the future, it will be a trouble to be listened to. ”

Although some are angry, there is nothing to be done. The two found Lu Liansheng to discuss, but they didn't have a clue, so the three of them had to come to Shentu Kong Xiang's mansion.

Shentu Kong Xiang, as the master of the torture hall, has a mansion in Yangzhou, and after listening to the report of the three people, he was also furious, and scolded: "Bastard, this is obviously to put the three of you to death, but in this matter it is seamless, even if I want to impeach, I can't find an excuse." ”

After a pause, he said: "Xu Baoshan, the former mountain master of the Chunbao Mountain Opening Hall, has a younger brother named Xu Baozhen, and his army has a regiment of soldiers stationed at the junction of Sulu, just to transport the military to here. ”

In that year, Hongmen Ren Chunshan and Xu Baoshan, the big character of the Qinggang, opened the mountain and established Hongmen Chunbaoshan together. This is the first time that the Green and Red Gang have merged. However, Xu Baoshan betrayed the purpose of Hongmen and colluded with the Qing government to vigorously suppress the Hongmen people, and he took this position to achieve the position of the Qing court's management belt.

And Chunshan, another director of Hongmen Mountain, is missing after Xu Baoshan betrayed Hongmen.

Later, during the Xinhai Revolution, Xu Baoshan was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou Military and Political Branch, and was appointed by President Sun Yat-sen as the general of the Second Army of the Northern Expedition. Later, Yuan Shikai stole the fruits of the Xinhai Revolution and restored the imperial system, and Xu Baoshan rebelled against Yuan and served as the commander of the Second Army, which made the revolutionaries very annoyed and wanted to get rid of him quickly. On May 14, 1913, he was killed in his mansion by the "revolutionary saint" Zhang Jingjiang.

Xu Baoshan betrayed Hongmen, and framed the Hongmen brothers and the Kuomintang from time to time, because the Hongmen brothers hated each other, so there was a slogan inside Hongmen that the word Tichun gouged out his eyes and the word Tibao cut his tongue. Later, Xu Baoshan died, and Ren Chunshan was nowhere to be found. Chunbaoshan slowly resumed its activities again.

Although Xu Baoshan has become ancient, the army he left behind is stationed in Jiangsu, and there is a regiment in Donghai County in northern Jiangsu, which is under the command of Xu Baoshan's younger brother Xu Baozhen, and his power has been declining. Now there is a shortage of guns and food, and the army has almost mutinied. That's why I ordered a batch of German ** fire from Shanghai to stabilize the forces. Now that the Zhilu coalition army has moved south and controlled most of Jiangsu, it is not easy to safely transport arms across the border.

You must know that the Zhilu coalition army organized by Li Jinglin and Zhang Zongchang went south. Since the army started as bandits, every place is extortion and exploitation, and now it has long blocked all kinds of key roads, even if ordinary businessmen pass by, they have to pay a large amount of tolls before they can be released.

Shentu Kong Xiang said: "Because the army is not under the command, it has nothing to do with each other. Xu Baozhen thought about it and still relied on the power of the gang to transport these things, and this time he made an exception to open the hall and accept a few soldiers because of this. Of course, Yan Baoqi of the Outer Eight Hall is in charge of the task, but I didn't expect the three of you to take the lead. This time, we should think carefully about how we can get through all kinds of obstacles safely. ”

Lu Liansheng said: "From Yangzhou to Huai'an to Suqian, our Shanmen organization is strong in these places. With Brother Hongmen taking care of him, as long as he hides it a little, there should be no accidents. It's just that the further north we go, the weaker our forces become, especially the government army, which is difficult to get through. That's what worries me as well. ”

Shentu Kong Xiang groaned slightly, and said, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, this time the task is arduous. I will say it before the lord of the mountain. If you can't finish it, you should also retreat with your whole body, and it is important to save your life, and the three of you can remember it. ”

Li Ling nodded heavily, originally wanted to join Hongmen to find a backer, or to go out to the dock, but he didn't expect to be involved in this matter, which is really a blessing and a curse. I didn't expect the rules of Hongmen to be cumbersome, and I had to deal with the tasks assigned by my superiors. And the task is so treacherous.

You Fei and Lu Liansheng sighed secretly, the mountain lord has an order, and the oath should be completed. If it fails, even if the internal organization does not pursue it, how the other Hongmen brothers should look at it will leave a failure within the mountain hall, and there will inevitably be many obstacles to promotion in the future, and even the day when they will never come out. In this way, it is better to die in the mission and still fall into the name of a single.

Before the Republic of China, the poor talked about backbone, scholars wanted integrity, and heroes valued their reputation. In particular, some heroes would rather give up their lives to let others give up their thumbs to praise themselves. So in the gang, there is a kind of cohesion. Of course, every righteous slaughter dog. The rich gentry are always intrigued, if they are allowed to throw their heads and spill blood for their friends, it is absolutely impossible, if they are just asked to sponsor some property, it is estimated that they can find someone to fight hard.

Of course, there are exceptions, Qian Xuping, who worshiped the mountain hall with Li Ling, as a wealthy businessman in the Jianghuai area, was deeply righteous, and when he said goodbye to Li Ling, he gave details about the address of his shops in Jiangsu, Shanghai and other places, and if Li Ling was in difficulty, he could temporarily withdraw some money, so that Li Ling was grateful.

You Fei rolled his eyes and said, "We can use the Grand Canal to take the waterway and go directly to the destination." Not only to get rid of the people in the green forest, but also to avoid the attention of the army"

The idea was studied at the meeting of the heads of the churches. Both sides of the Grand Canal are the old nests of the Green Gang, and the relationship between the Green Gang and the military and police is complicated. Shentu Kong Xiang said.

"What kind of munition is it, and how many things are in it?" Li Ling couldn't help but ask curiously.

Shentu Kongxiang said frankly: "There are 3,000 rifles, one million rounds of ammunition, and some pistols, light machine guns, and grenades in them. These firearms were ordered some time ago from the Shanghai office of the German company Lihe & Co. It was originally used to resist the Northern Expeditionary Army in Yangzhou, but the Northern Expeditionary Army was so powerful that it had to be transferred to Donghai County on the border of Sulu, where the strength of a regiment of Ma Yuren was stationed. He will send someone to pick it up, but it must be transported to the vicinity of Donghai County. ”

The three of them secretly said that 3,000 rifles can equip a division, which is indeed a big deal, and it can transport so many weapons, but let the three of them take on the main force, and things don't seem to be so simple. Even if Yan Baoqi embarrassed the three of them and wanted to send a few people to see the king of Hades, this funeral would be too big
