"Little one, meet Master Cui!" Two men in their thirties knelt down respectfully in front of Cui Geng.

Cui Geng saw that the appearance of the two was somewhat similar, and said, "You are two brothers?" ”

The man on the left said: "Yes, the little one is called Zuo Wei, this is my brother Zuo Wu." The two of us brothers originally fell into the grass in Funiu Mountain. ”

Zuo Liang on the right added: "Although the villain fell into the grass, he only led a group of brothers not to pay harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and he never committed adultery. ”

Of course, they just have to listen to what they say. A good citizen, who will have a good life and become a bandit?

Cui Geng's face was solemn, and he said: "If it is an ordinary petty mistake, the official can not blame the past." Now I just want to ask you two one thing - there is really no murder in your hands? ”

"Not really, the little one dares to swear to God."

The playwright excused the two and said: "Don't worry, Lord Cui, they took a fancy to a copper mine on Funiu Mountain, so they occupied the mountain as the king. Homicide? They don't have that much courage. ”

Cui Geng was a little relieved and said, "How did you two find out that Li Xiu was going to move Huangze Temple?" ”

"It's not us who found out, it's Li Xiu who told us."

Cui Geng was slightly stunned and said, "You are from the secret hall?" ”

Zuo Wei explained: "It's not a secret hall. The secret hall is the secret hall, and Li Xiu is Li Xiu. He himself is in Jiannan Dao, and he has also gathered a lot of forces, including our two brothers. Just yesterday, Li Xiu's envoy came, and asked us to take ten brothers to Lizhou to stand by. ”

"Then how can you be sure that Li Xiu wants to move Huangze Temple?"

"It was the secret envoy himself. He said that in Huangze Temple, there are not only tens of thousands of armor and weapons, but also many gold and silver treasures prepared for the uprising. If you do this ticket, everyone will be rewarded. ”

Cui Geng said strangely: "Then why don't you follow Li Xiu to rob Huangze Temple, but come to the official instead?" ”

Zuo Wei said disdainfully: "Li Xiu is blowing it very well, what kind of power does the secret hall have, it is comparable to the five surnames and seven wangs." However, he doesn't blow it himself, who knows about this file? According to our brothers, this guy is a cowhide king, and he has no real skills. ”

Zuo Wudao: "Master Cui, you are different, behead corrupt officials, eliminate evil officials, and the people praise you." What an amazing character the playboy is, he is willing to work for you. Lend the little two guts, and they don't dare to go against you. ””

"Huh?"

Cui Geng glanced at the playwright in a little surprise, and thought to himself, he originally thought that this person was just a young man with good martial arts, but now it seems that his reputation among the people is quite good.

The playwright Kai seemed to see what Cui Geng was thinking, and said: "They are all people from the rivers and lakes who carry love, and their subordinates are also thin and famous." ”

"Okay, in the future, you will contact the Zuo brothers a lot, and if there is news of Li Xiu, report it as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Although Cui Geng said vaguely, Li Xiu and the Zuo brothers immediately understood. The Zuo brothers still went to Lizhou to meet according to Li Xiu's arrangement. If there is any trouble, report it to Cui Geng immediately, so that Li Xiu's forces can be wiped out.

The Zuo brothers were extremely happy, thinking that they had not only reported the news now, but also risked being an undercover agent, and Master Cui would definitely be rewarded in the future, even if he was an official and a half-job.

However, as it turned out, they were still too sweet.

"Lord Cui, the two immortals, the Liang brothers, come to worship!"

"Lord Cui, Aunt Dou of Songshui Lake has something important to report!"

"Lord Qiyu Cui, this is the Wu Dazhai Master of Peach Blossom Valley!"

……

Okay, the people who come to ventilate the news, the dramatist can introduce eight a day. Later, he didn't bother to bring it to Cui Geng himself, and disposed of it himself.

On the ninth day, after careful calculation, the strength of the rivers and lakes that came to Toucheng reached forty-six shares!

Although the strength of these people alone is not strong, but together, their strength is also considerable.

Cui Geng himself was a little puzzled, and said, "How many bandits are there in Jiannan Dao?" Li Xiu's strength is really not simple! ”

The playwright Kai bowed slightly, his expression became more respectful, and said: "I can't hide it, the famous bandit Shui Kou in Jiannan Dao has a total of forty-six shares. You said that Li Xiu has the ability, and let them all be loyal. It's okay to say that he's blind and doesn't know anyone at all. ”

"What? Are all the bandits and water robbers of Jiannan Province here? ”

"Yes, exactly." The playwright said: "There are ten good players in each bandit, a total of four hundred and sixty people. Li Xiu is the eyes and ears of the official government, and the number of people who can be assembled will never exceed 1,000. Now it seems that even if he does not move the official army, he will definitely be defeated this time. ”

"It's not." Cui Geng scratched his head and said, "This official is strange, could it be that in the eyes of these people, the gap between the strength of this official and Li Xiu is really so big?" ”

The playwright explained: "Don't believe it, there really is. Think about it, the strength of the secret hall is not obvious, the big people in the court know it, but these people don't know it. The people in the rivers and lakes do not have a door on their lips, one can be said to be ten, and some can be said to be ten thousand. In their opinion, Li Xiu's real strength may not even be as good as he usually says. When they promised to be loyal to Li Xiu, it should be a false story, and they may not have any loyalty. ”

"This reason has already been said by the Zuo brothers, is there any other reason?"

"In addition, it is the most critical one. Although these bandits are not good people, they have no intention of rebelling. They take refuge in you, and they can become officials and make a fortune. followed Li Xiu to rob Huangze Temple, but the final result was to rebel with him. How to choose, do you still need to ask? ”

Cui Geng chuckled lightly and said, "According to what you say, Li Xiu is really killing himself by collecting the bandits and grass coars?" ”

The playwright thought for a moment and replied, "Uh...... It is not only self-defeating, but also a last resort. If it is peaceful today, he still dreams of being an emperor. Not to mention these gangs of gangsters, I'm afraid that there are many people in the secret hall who disapprove of it. The reason why he mobilized all the Jianghu people this time was probably the people who followed him in the secret hall...... Not much. ”

……

……

At the same time, Lizhou City, Tongda Inn.

Syllable!

A teacup was slammed to the ground and torn apart

Li Xiu said angrily: "One hundred and twenty people? The war department of the secret hall only drew out one hundred and twenty people? This is not as many people as who went to Fangzhou to save Cui Geng? Li Qing, tell me, what kind of heart do they have? ”

An old man knelt on the ground and said, "Childe is angry, the secret hall has its own independent ~ will, and it may not necessarily be necessary to listen to the hall master." What we're going to do this time is too big, and it's understandable that they're not willing to cooperate. ”

"Isn't it hard to understand?" Li Xiu gritted his fine silver teeth and said: "It's just the others, Zheng Xin, the commander of the war department, and Wang Hao, the deputy commander, they were single-handedly promoted by my son, why didn't they come?" ”

"They said to the old slave that they occasionally felt cold and felt unwell. Childe, the old slave thought it was ......"

"Why?"

Li Qing said cautiously: "The five surnames and seven wangdus have no choice but to keep the secret hall, and only maintain the power to appoint the hall master. Although Childe is a British man, his time as the master of the secret hall is too short, and it seems that there is no need to rush. As long as the son wins many battles and accomplishes a few major things, why worry about the secret hall not returning to his heart? ”

Why didn't Li Xiu understand that what the old slave said was right?

In fact, since he became the master of the secret hall, he has repeatedly used these words to warn himself and the old slave Li Qing in front of him.

But winning again and again? How many big things will be accomplished? Easier said than done.

Especially since he met Cui Geng, he has been deflated again and again, and he has not tasted a victory. Only by avoiding Cui Geng and coming to Jiannan Road in this year can it be called smooth sailing. Now, if you want to mainly provoke Cui Geng, can you have a chance of winning?

Yes, I will do it! If I can't even deal with a little Cui Geng, how sure can I be that I will dominate the world?

Li Xiu cheered himself up, and said: "The one hundred and twenty good players in the secret hall are all the henchmen of this son, plus the two hundred and forty elite officers and soldiers in Wangzhou, and more than four hundred and sixty rivers and lakes, this is more than eight hundred people. Dealing with the 200 officers and soldiers in the Huangze Temple, with one enemy and four, it can be said that it is a sure victory. The order will go down, and tomorrow night will be three watches, break the Huangze Temple, and recapture the weapons and armor! ”

"Whoa!"
