"What's that? Seven or eight? You're out of town, aren't you......"

"Yes......" Ximen Jian nodded.

A middle-aged man lowered his voice and leaned next to Ximenjian's ear and said: "This Huerbuir prairie is a hundred and ten miles away, and there are more than 50 bandits with names and surnames. ”

"Oh......" Ximen Jian pretended to be curious, and seeing that the middle-aged man was very willing to speak, he hurriedly asked, "There is a black-faced man who is the son of the Menggang Taoke, right?" ”

"Huh? How do you ask this? The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and said mysteriously: "Little brother, I don't hide that you are from other places, that black-faced man is the little leader of a stronghold in our place." ”

When Ximen Jian heard this, he didn't think that Tao Ke had a stronghold here, and asked, "That...... Their subcontracting is in the savannah, right? ”

"This ...... I don't know. Hey, what are you doing inquiring about the bandits' residence? The middle-aged man suddenly became alert, glanced around, and was silent.

Ximen Jian hurriedly took out five pieces of ocean from his arms, secretly stuffed them into the man's arms and said: "Brother, I have a distant relative who works as a ringing horse in Tao Kezi, but I don't know if he is dead or alive, I want to inquire." ”

Man dies for money, and birds die for food. It turned out that this middle-aged man was a second-rate person who did not do his job, often went in and out of public places, and specialized in selling news to support his family.

He hurriedly put five pieces of ocean into his pocket, put his head next to Ximen Jian's ear, and said in a low voice: "We all know that the black-faced man is more courageous than winter melons, and one of their strongholds is in Daqinggou, less than 50 miles west of Yakniu Town, and I also heard that they robbed the grass that Prince Gesar sold to the little devil a few days ago......"

Ximen Jian inquired about him, and he was in the right place. He was here to investigate the robbery of the grass. Liu Lianhua is also in full swing at home and is busy.

It turned out that the grass sold by Prince Gesar to the little devil was robbed by Tao Ke's black-faced man in the Daqinggou stronghold.

Here it is necessary to explain the people of Tao Keqi.

Tao Ke was an upright person, he was an official in the court at the end of the Qing Dynasty when he was young, and later because he was not used to the corruption of officialdom, the darkness of officialdom, the current situation of officialdom and corrupt officials, and the official luck was frustrated, so he fell into a gangster in a fit of anger.

However, he never robbed the common people and nomads, but only robbed the big landlords, bullies, and corrupt officials, and called on his brothers to cultivate barren mountains and meadows, grow crops, and be as self-sufficient as possible.

It's just that in recent years, he has been very old, and he has neglected to manage his brothers, and because of the invasion of little devils, the war continues, and their life is not easy, and they have a lot of people, which has reached more than 50,000 people, and has established more than 200 strongholds in the Hulunbuir grassland.

Moreover, the composition of these 50,000 Mongolian bandits is complex and chaotic, and many of them do not follow the rules. In addition, because of this period of time, the little devils were frequently active around the prairie, which seriously affected their actions of smashing kilns and seeking wealth outside the prairie.

In addition, they also hated the little devils and were not satisfied with the rule of King Gesar. Although Gesar, the prince, has died in name only, his strength still cannot be underestimated.

That's why the black-faced man in the Daqinggou stronghold took the risk, killed all the soldiers of the little devil guarding the grass, and hid the grass after transferring. Because this grass is only fodder for horses, one should not be eaten, and the other is not worth drinking, and the black-faced men can't use it so much, and they have spent it all over again, so they ate so shabby that night.

After the black-faced man robbed the grass, he wanted to find a buyer as soon as possible, sell the grass, and exchange it for glittering gold, so he found the almighty courtesan Liu Lianhua in Yakniu Town to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, this black-faced man is also a wild man who once fell in love with Liu Lianhua.

Liu Lianhua, like her name, is nostalgic for the Hulunbuir prairie, exuding a strange fragrance, attracting bees and butterflies, but she has not achieved the sludge without staining. She is beautiful by nature, Lang is amorous, and has improper and ambiguous relationships with many powerful people and bandit leaders. The courtyard of her house is also a secret liaison base for several groups of bandits.

It was a coincidence that at this time, there was a Dongfang Bai in the provincial town of Yakniu who was a small provincial city and a shopkeeper of Rongfa Medicine Store in Heijiliao Province, and asked Liu Lianhua to buy foreign grass.

As a result, Liu Lianhua's suspicions were aroused: was he a secret agent sent by the little devil or a secret agent sent by King Gesar to investigate the robbed foreign grass, or was he a real trader?

So, Liu Lianhua, who was both beautiful and suspicious by nature, asked the black-faced man to kidnap Ximen Jian and give him a dismount with a leather whip, but he didn't see any flaws.

In fact, Liu Lianhua is also a woman who dares to act and can afford to let go. She decided to have a showdown with Ximen Jian immediately, and just caught up with the spies to report that the little devil had come with 20,000 horses, and a group of white horses with unknown information had come.

Liu Lianhua was taken aback, made a mistake again, and began to doubt Ximenjian's identity again.

Today, the spies she sent out obtained accurate information after careful and detailed tracking and investigation, and came back to report that the group of white horses suddenly disappeared overnight, and before the 20,000 horses of the little devil arrived in Yakniu Town, they were blocked by a group of anti-union troops outside the alkali grass pasture, and the two sides fought.

Liu Lianhua was anxious to facilitate the sale of foreign grass to Dongfang Bai, but there was a mistake in judgment, thinking that the little devil was here to fight against the Anti-Japanese Federation. Only then did he put down his hanging heart, and after studying with the black-faced man, he decided to find Dongfang Bai, that is, Ximen Jian, to make the final decision.

So at noon the next day, Liu Lianhua sent someone to the Yak Niu Inn to invite Dongfang Bai to her house for a banquet. It is said that today the princess personally made the roast whole sheep with Mongolian characteristics.

Ximen Jian thought, this Liu Lianhua must be in a hurry to sell that batch of grass, maybe there will be a showdown today, this matter must be known to his brothers, so he said to the person sent by Liu Lianhua: "Please go back and report to the princess, saying that we have some idle things here, and we will go as soon as we deal with it." ”

Ximen Jian sent away the people sent by Liu Lianhua, and hurriedly asked Xiaohuzi to go to the street to touch the adjutant dressed as a beggar and tell him to go back, and let the deputy head send 1,000 brothers to ambush in disguise on the way to Daqinggou in Yakniu Town to listen to orders. In addition, large units must also be ready for battle.

Xiaohuzi left, Ximen Jian shook his fan, took square steps, and walked into the fragrant courtyard of Liu Lianhua's house in a chic manner......
