Chapter 525: The Lunatic Cult's Apologia
When Happy stepped into the courtyard, the originally quiet courtyard was much more lively because of the departure of the Lunatic Cult members, and people came out of the house one after another, a total of about sixty or seventy people, both men and women, all young people, plainly dressed, and condensed, obviously not ordinary people.
Seeing the joy and Xiao Ling dressed in white and black, everyone couldn't help but look sideways, their faces were full of confusion and surprise, and the sound of the riot was also quiet.
"Childe-" At this moment, a soft voice suddenly came from the crowd, the voice was trembling, and it was obvious that the owner of the voice was very excited.
When I looked at the sound happily, I saw that in the crowd, a beautiful girl in pink was looking at her upright, her eyes were full of tears, her lips trembled slightly, she was surprised and excited, and even some unbelievable expressions were undisguised.
"Pink lotus."
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar, but even more moving face, I couldn't help but have a slight ripple in my happy and deep eyes.
The past is passing in front of her eyes, although the cowardly and weak girl is just a humble maid, but in the past few months in Yecheng, she has been with the person who has been by the happy side, recalling the past and present, happy and sighing, but also faintly nostalgic for those months of easy life.
"Childe-" Tears fell, Fan He wanted to step forward, desperately threw herself into that wide and warm embrace, and vented all her thoughts and grievances, but she suddenly remembered her identity and had to stop, pear blossoms with rain, and her face was sad.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you!" With a warm smile on his face, he stepped forward, gently wiped away the tears on Fan He's face, and said softly.
"Childe-"
Although she knew that Happy had no love for her, and that she was just pity, Fan He couldn't help but throw herself into Happy Joy and cry loudly.
Warm fragrant nephrite is full of joy, but there is no embarrassment, let alone a heart, in his heart, the weak pink lotus is more like a sister who needs to be cared for. happily patted the trembling shoulder of the pink lotus, half relieved, half teasing: "Little girl, if you cry again, you will become a little flower cat, the son doesn't like the little flower cat!" ”
"Ahh
Pink Lotus suddenly let out a low sigh, and raised his head from his happy arms like an electric shock, but his originally pale pretty face flew up with two blush at this time, and his eyes were both worried and shy, suffering from gains and losses, but lacking that kind of sad fear and helplessness.
Smiled happily and motioned for Fan He to stand behind him, and then looked at the others. Everyone was very puzzled about the happy identity, looking at his clothes, his bearing was obviously unusual, but everyone was not easy to ask, but their eyes fell on a young man in the middle of the crowd.
Although the young man was only dressed in brown coarse cloth, he could not hide his unique temperament. The young man was tall, calm, and his face was very cold, but he was a little similar to Xiao Ling, who was one of the leaders of the beggar gang and had been in charge of the affairs of Yecheng.
Seeing the happy eyes, a flash of excitement flashed in Li Feng's eyes, but he still hugged his fists very calmly and said, "Subordinates see Gongzi." ”
"Just be safe!" He smiled happily and bowed his head, then glanced at the others, and then walked towards the house in the middle of the courtyard.
Li Feng understood, glanced at the people around him seriously, and said in a low voice: "Stay outside the mansion, if there are idle people waiting for you to approach, they will all be taken!" ”
"Yes!"
Everyone's hearts suddenly froze, and they immediately spread out their bodies and scattered with a solemn agreement, closely monitoring the courtyard. They are all elite disciples of the Beggar Gang, and their quality is quite high, although they are very confused about the relationship between Happy and Li Feng and the Beggar Gang, but they have not asked any questions from beginning to end.
Seeing that the beggars were agile and carried out the task without delay, a satisfied color flashed in their happy eyes. Although the beggars are far from being the same as the Lunatic Cult in terms of their heritage, it is not easy to train the beggars to be like this after a few years of development.
As soon as a few people entered the house, Li Feng knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said ashamedly: "Childe, the subordinates are not doing well, they have not managed the beggar gang well, and they have been uprooted by the enemy and do not know the identity of the enemy, please punish the childe!" ”
"It's not a shame to have no power to resist in front of the Lunatic Cult, get up, it's good for you to have this lesson." happily looked at Li Feng lightly, and there was no reproach in his eyes.
In the past two years, the beggar gang has developed rapidly with the support of its own strong financial resources, and the people in the beggar gang will inevitably have a proud heart, and this time they have been frustrated by the Lunatic Cult, and their arrogance has been sharpened, which is good for future development.
"Childe-" was happy but didn't care, but the more Li Feng blamed himself, the more he trusted him to put the beggar gang in his hands, but now he let the beggar gang suffer such a big loss, so how can he not feel guilty.
"Get up and tell me about the situation!" Happy wave of his hand.
"Yes!" Li Feng got up, a flash of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and after a pause, he said: "Before that night, we didn't receive any news, and a group of mysterious black-clothed people suddenly arrived, destroying and uprooting our main stronghold in Yecheng, catching us off guard, and there was no effective resistance at all. After that, we were kept in strict custody, and we could not send any news or receive information from the outside world, and we did not know that we had been transferred to Jeju until yesterday. ”
Nodding happily, seeing that Li Feng was still very self-blaming, he was relieved: "As long as people live, what is lost can be recovered slowly." ”
"Childe, your subordinates must follow the teachings!" Li Feng replied in a sonorous voice, showing his determination to Xiang Xingxing. After a pause, Li Feng seemed to suddenly remember something, frowned and said happily: "Childe, when my subordinates came out of the backyard, they saw more than thirty brand-new boxes, and they didn't know what they contained. ”
"Oh? Check it out! Happy raised his eyebrows, and went out first and walked towards the backyard.
"Bump!"
When Li Feng opened a box with his hands, the box was full of silver ingots, shining with the silver glow of rumors in the sunlight. With happy eyes, Li Feng opened a few more boxes at a very fast speed, and the things in them were all silver ingots without exception.
Even if he was happy with this person who was accustomed to seeing the world, he couldn't help but gasp when he looked at these thirty chests full of silver ingots, this wealth was nothing less than astronomical for ordinary people.
This was obviously given to him by the Lunatic Cult, and he was stunned for pleasure, even if he understood their intentions, this was also one of the sincerity of the Lunatic Cult. A few days ago, the Lunatic Cult hit the happy industry, and the money was obviously to make amends for the loss of the happy one. The Lunatic Cult's casual move is such a big move, which shows its strength, and while he is overjoyed, he is even more afraid of the Lunatic Cult.
Although the Lunatic Cult seemed to be very sincere, Happy was still a little dissatisfied with their domineering approach of cutting first and then playing, and after looking at the guards at the Jeju City Gate, Happy was even more hesitant to cooperate with the Lunatic Cult.
"Inform Wu Sangui to transport these silver back to Qingzhou, and someone should not send money in vain." This sentence is said to Xiao Ling, Zhang Shunzhi is no more, and it is obviously the most appropriate to hand over the matter of passing on the secret order to Xiao Ling's night thorn.
"Yes!" Xiao Ling's voice fell, and his body fluttered away, like a brown whirlwind, which disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the beggar disciples who were secretly monitoring the courtyard were even more shocked in their eyes.
"You will stay here for the next two days, and you must ensure that this silver is safely handed over to Sangui!" Looking at Li Feng happily and solemnly, "Your task will be discussed here." ”
"The subordinates will live up to the trust!" Li Feng said in a deep voice.
……
"How have you been doing in the past few years?" returned to the front yard and happily looked at the suspicious Fan Lotus Road.
Fan He nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Thanks to the care of the son, the slave and maid have lived well over the years, but they have not fulfilled their responsibilities and protected the son's mansion." Speaking of this, Fan Lotus seemed to remember the danger of Na Ye and the companion who died in the fire, and a deep fear and sadness appeared in his eyes again.
"It's just a mansion, if it burns down, burn it, it's just a pity that those dozens of lives have been lost!" A flash of amazement flashed in his happy eyes, a hint of murderous intent, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge them." After a pause, his happy tone softened a little, "Fan He, you know all the families of the people in the house, if possible, you must take care of their few people!" ”
"The slave and the maid know, the slave and the maid thank the son for everyone's great kindness, and they will be relieved to know it!" Fan He looked at the joy with emotion, and the tears that had just stopped fell again.
"This is what I should do!"
……
"My lord, the barracks are well guarded, how are we going to infiltrate?"
Under the dark night sky, Happy and Xiao Ling lurked in the shadows that could not be illuminated by the firelight, and while looking at the military camp not far away, Xiao Ling asked in a low voice.
"Gao Xiaoheng doesn't seem to be carried away by the excitement, he is guarded by a serious illness, and he lives in the barracks, with three steps and one post in the camp, and one sentry in five steps, it is really not easy to sneak in." He nodded happily and approvingly.
After the negotiations with Liu Zhong reached an impasse, Happy never saw Liu Zhong and Wu Zhao again, and there was no news from the Lunatic Cult. Just when he was happy to deploy secretly, he was named the king of Lu by the puppet emperor Gao Wei, and Gao Xiaoheng, who was the pastor of Xuzhou, finally led an army of 20,000 to the outside of Jeju City.
Because he did not know the situation in Jeju, it was not early, and the army was tired from the journey, so Gao Xiaoheng did not give the order to enter the city, but set up camp thirty miles outside Jeju City.
"Have our people arrived?" Happy asked in a low voice.
"It's in place! Lu Zhishen led an army of 30,000 to form an encirclement five miles away, and Wu Sangui's special brigade also set up an ambush on Gao Xiaoheng's inevitable road, whether it was assassination or a strong attack, he would never retreat this time! Xiao Ling replied.
"Very good, do it on time! Let me see you as the number one killer today! He nodded happily and satisfied.
Barracks Shuai Tent.
Looking at the solemn tent, King Lu Gao Xiaoheng was full of pride and passion in his heart. Now that he is the king of Lu, he is in charge of the military and government of Xuzhou, and his power has reached another peak, and he has faintly touched the pinnacle of the realm, thinking of this, his heart can't help but burn.
Thinking that he Gao Xiaoheng is a relative of Shenwu, his father is the first emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and his poetry and songs are second to none among the brothers, but his prestige is not as good as that of the lowly Gao Changgong, and he is even more jealous of Gao Wei, who is incompetent and cowardly, and has taken the shit luck, especially when he was reprimanded by Gao Wei as a pig and dog in the palace some time ago, it made Gao Xiaoheng's resentment and anger swell to a terrible level.
Now, Cushman & Wakefield's prestige has plummeted, its own power is in its hands, foreign enemies are powerless to invade, and it is chaotic, isn't it a good time to take advantage of the situation?
"Gao Wei, when the shame inflicted on the lonely king is **, the lonely king must be repaid tenfold and hundredfold!"
