Chapter 14 The Lotus Flower with a Strange Fragrance
%d7%cf%d3%c4%b8%f3"What the hell, you're out of town, aren't you......"
"yes......" Ximen Jian nodded
A middle-aged man lowered his voice and leaned next to Ximen Jian's ear and said: "There are more than 50 bandits with names and surnames within a radius of 100 miles in this Huerbuir prairie, and there are even more of them."
"Oh......" Ximen Jian pretended to be curious, and saw that the middle-aged man was very willing to speak, and hurriedly asked: "There is a big man with a black face, who is a Menggang Taokezi?"
"Ah, why do you ask this," the middle-aged man hesitated and said mysteriously: "Little brother, I see that you are from other places, so I can't hide that the 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 still had a stronghold here, and then asked, "That...... Their subcontracting is in the savannah."
"This ...... I don't know, hey, what are you doing when you inquire 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 is ringing in Tao Ke's locks, and Ma Ke doesn't know if he is dead or alive, I want to inquire."
People die for money, birds die for food, it turns out that this middle-aged man is a second-rate person who does not do his job, often goes in and out of public places, and specializes in selling news to support his family
He hurriedly put five pieces of ocean into his pocket, put his head next to Ximenjian's ear, and said in a low voice: "We all know that the black-faced big man is bolder than the winter melon, and one of their dreadlocks 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 in the last few days......"
Ximen Jian inquired, he was in the right place, he was here to investigate the situation of the robbery of the grass, and Liu Lianhua was also busy at home
It turned out that the grass that Prince Gesar sold 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, and when he was young, he was an official in the court at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and later because he was not used to the darkness of the officialdom, the current situation of the officialdom, the rampant fraud and corrupt officials, and the frustration of the official, he fell into a gangster in a fit of anger
However, he never robbed the common people and nomads, but only the big landlords, bullies, and corrupt officials, and called on his brothers to reclaim barren mountains and grasslands to grow crops, and try to be self-sufficient
It's just that in recent years, he has been too old to manage his brothers, and because of the invasion and war of the little devils, their life is not easy, and they have a lot of people, more than 50,000 people, and more than 200 strongholds have been established in the Hulunbuir grassland
Moreover, the composition of these 50,000 Mongolian bandits is complex and chaotic, and many people are unruly, and because of the frequent activities of the little devils on the prairie during this time, it has seriously affected their actions of smashing kilns and seeking wealth outside the prairie
In addition, they also hate the little devil and are not satisfied with the rule of King Gesar, although Gesar, the prince, has existed in name only, his strength still cannot be underestimated
Therefore, the black-faced man in the Daqinggou stronghold took the risk to kill all the soldiers who guarded the little devil and the grass, and hid the grass after transferring, because this grass was just feed for horses, and the black-faced man who did not eat it properly and did not drink it, they didn't use it so much, and they 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 to sell the grass and replace it with glittering gold, so he found Liu Lianhua, a courtesan who was involved in black and white, 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 on the Hulunbuir prairie, exuding a strange fragrance to attract bees and butterflies, but she has not achieved the sludge without staining, she is naturally beautiful, romantic and amorous, and has an improper and ambiguous relationship with many powerful people and bandit leaders, and her family's courtyard is also a secret contact base for several groups of bandits
It was a coincidence that at this time, there was a provincial town in Yakniu Town, and Dongfang Bai, the shopkeeper of Rongfa Medicine Store in Heijiliao Province, wanted to ask Liu Lianhua to buy foreign grass
This aroused Liu Lianhua's suspicions: whether he was a secret agent sent by the little devil or a real trader secretly sent by King Gesar to investigate the robbed grass
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 the flaws were not visible at all
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 circumstances
Liu Lianhua was taken aback, and once again committed the total, and began to doubt Ximenjian's identity again
Today, the spies she sent out after careful and detailed tracking and investigation obtained accurate information, and reported that the group of white horses suddenly disappeared overnight, and the 20,000 horses of the little devil were blocked by a group of anti-coalition troops outside the alkali grass pasture before they could reach Yak Town, and the two sides fought
Liu Lianhua was anxious to promote the sale of foreign grass to Dongfang Bai, and there was a mistake in judgment, thinking that the little devil was here to fight against the Anti-Japanese Federation, so she put down her hanging heart, and after studying with the black-faced man, she 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 Inn to invite Dongfang Bai to her house for a banquet, saying that today, the princess personally made a roast whole sheep with Mongolian characteristics
Ximen Jian thought that Liu Lianhua must be in a hurry to make a move, and that batch of foreign grass might be about to have a showdown today, and he must let his brothers know about this matter, so he said to the person sent by Liu Lianhua: "Please go back and report to the princess that we have some idle business here, and we will go as soon as we deal with it."
Ximen Jian sent Liu Lianhua away, and the people sent by Liu Lianhua hurriedly asked Xiaohuzi to step on the street, and the adjutant dressed as a beggar told him to go back, and asked the deputy regiment commander to send 1,000 brothers to ambush in disguise on the way to Daqinggou in Yakniu Town, and listen to the order, and the other large army should also be ready for battle
Xiaohuzi walked away, Ximen Jian shook the fan in his hand, and walked into the fragrant courtyard of Liu Lianhua's house in a chic manner......
