Chapter 714 Secret Meeting with Lu Ping (1)
On an inconspicuous seat by the window in this Ajin Restaurant, Li Cangxing was wearing a hat, the brim of his hat was pressed very low, and a bowl of local seafood noodles was placed in front of him, and he was holding a clam in his hand to send it to his mouth, but the words of the diners in the restaurant were heard in his ears.
"Brother Li Xian, a while ago, the Qi family army broke the Japanese invaders, I heard that the tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers led by the Japanese head Shangquan Xinzhi were all wiped out by our Ming Dynasty's official army, and in the Zhejiang area, there are no Japanese invaders, all of them have gone to Fujian, General Qi is non-stop, and after a short rest, he led the army into Fujian, don't you have relatives in Fujian, have you heard any news?"
"Hey, I said Brother Fugui, General Qi is a heavenly soldier and a general, and that General Lang, I heard that the people under his command are all heroes of the rivers and lakes who can fly the eaves and walk the wall, just one jump, the city wall of Taizhou City is a few feet high, and with a wave of the knife, dozens of Japanese soldiers will be cut in two, and their eyes will be so glared, hundreds of Japanese will foam at the mouth and faint to the ground, and the others are all frightened to surrender."
"Hehe, Brother Li Xian, your braggart has been going on for decades, and you can't change it even after a lot of age, how can there be such a god in the world?"
"I'm not bragging, that day that General Lang was dressed in yellow, when he fought the Japanese in Flower Street, I could see it clearly, the Japanese wanted to outflank him from the roof, and beat him alone so that hundreds of Japanese fell off the house."
"Hehe, bragging, Erniu, there is a war on both sides of Flower Street, do you dare to stay at home?"
"That's a wolf, the master who kills people when he sees them, how dare I stay at home. All the old folks in our street ran to the grove on the side, and I thought about my own house later. So he came back secretly and hid in a small ditch and saw it. I'm not bragging this time. ”
"Fugui, don't say it, I came from Xinhe, and I also heard that General Lang is very powerful, but he is a man in the city, and he can't open it, General Qi can defeat the Japanese this time, but it all depends on his help."
"Hmph, you know what. This General Lang is really good at fighting, but none of the people in the rivers and lakes under him can change their true colors as robbers, and this time they caused trouble in Fujian! A middle-aged fat man dressed as a merchant at the next table said indignantly.
Li Erniu's face changed: "Listening to your accent, it seems that you came from Fujian, General Lang is a great hero who saved our Taizhou fathers, but you are not allowed to slander so casually." ”
The middle-aged fat man drank a bowl of wine, his face turned red, and his tongue was a little bigger: "You guys, you know a ball." The day before yesterday, I passed through Ningde County the day before yesterday, and originally, the official army had already laid down there. On Hengyu Island, the Japanese Bandits, and the Japanese Bandit leader Mao Haifeng also fled. But it's something. What General Lang, but let. But let his subordinates rob in Hengyu, Hengyu Island, only to, only hand over the rescued people to General Qi, money, money and all belong to him, what else to say, what to say that they rushed to the front in the war, and they deserved to be rewarded. ”
"Hey, people are fighting and charging ahead, and they spend the most effort, and they should get more, but it's just that all the money belongs to them, which is really a bit inappropriate."
"But, it's not, that Hengyu, the battle of Hengyu was General Qi's sergeants, one carrying a bundle of thatch in front, paved a way out of the ten-mile shoal passage, and let the masters under General Nalang step on their shoulders, and later, later on the island with the Japanese Kou bloody battle, too, it is also the soldiers of the Qi family's army, after the battle, thousands of soldiers are so tired that they collapsed on the beach, and in the end they didn't get anything, you say, you say such a thing!"
"Phew, my Li Erniu is really eye-catching, and I even said good things to this surnamed Lang just now."
Wang San Mazi's eyes rolled, and he slammed the wine bowl on the table: "No, Erniu, the people under General Lang fought in Taizhou, and Xinhe and Haiyan didn't rob things like this, why did they get to Fujian and start to grab the spoils with the Qi family's army, I don't believe it." You guy, are you a spy sent by the Japanese Invaders who deliberately came to shake the hearts of the military and the people of Taizhou City?! ”
"Fuck your mother's fart, I, Wu Zilin, have been doing business between Zhejiang and Fujian for decades, when did I become a spy of the Japanese Bandits, ask the people in this restaurant, how many people don't know me?"
At this time, the two porters dressed as people on a table in the distance also stood up, one of them was dressed in black, and the pockmarked man in short dress said: "Don't quarrel, Boss Wu is right, I Liu Changshui Everyone should know each other, it is the people in this Taizhou city, this time I came from Fujian with the young owner of the Zhangjia tea shop in the city, and I also traveled with Boss Wu, what he said I can testify, it is all true." ”
Wang San Mazi's face was also swollen red, and he shouted unconvinced: "Then how do you explain why this General Lang never robbed the spoils of war in Zhejiang, but wanted to rob them when he arrived in Fujian?" ”
The middle-aged fat man Wu Zilin sneered: "You know a fart, in Taizhou, Zhejiang, but the place under the jurisdiction of General Qi, you must obey military discipline, and guard this Taizhou city, defeated and repelled the Japanese invaders, and there are no spoils, just a few thousand Japanese prisoners, but that Hengyu Island is the nest that Mao Haifeng, the Japanese leader, has been operating for many years, and there are many gold and silver treasures, and General Qi, as a general in Zhejiang, is a guest army when he enters Fujian, and he can't control this General Lang." I think he has already made up his mind that he is going to Fujian to grab a big deal. These people in the rivers and lakes have never been profitable, who is willing to work hard for you?! ”
Zhang Fugui shook his head and sighed: "Boss Wu is reasonable, I hope this surnamed Lang can stop when he grabs enough, and don't go back to Zhejiang to harm us again." ”
Liu Changshui said: "When we came back, General Qi's troops had already rushed to this Taizhou city, and I heard that the soldiers in the army were very dissatisfied with the connivance of his subordinates surnamed Lang to grab the spoils, and General Qi was not willing to work with such people, so he simply took the army back to Zhejiang." ”
Li Erniu's face changed greatly: "There is such a thing? Changshui, don't dare to talk nonsense. ”
Liu Changshui took another sip of wine, his mouth was full of wine, and he said hatefully: "How can I talk nonsense." followed the soldiers of the Qi family army all the way and listened to the words of a few soldiers. This time on Hengyu Island, the soldiers suffered nearly 1,000 casualties. In the end, he found almost nothing, General Qi fought with the surnamed Lang, but he relied on the support of someone behind him, refused to give up an inch of land, and said that he wanted to make some money and spend money for the brothers, otherwise he would not be able to command his subordinates. As a result, General Qi was angry and led the army back to the division, saying that he was going back to Yiwu to recruit troops again, and I heard that General Qi had divided his troops into two roads, and one road had been taken by him to Yiwu first. The other way, which we followed on the road, will probably return to Taizhou tomorrow morning to garrison. ”
Zhang Fugui asked: "What about the Japanese in Fujian, don't you want to suppress it?" ”
Wu Zilin shook his head: "What do you know, this is called raising the Kou self-respect, not letting the Kou get fat, then his surname Lang will grab a ball." I heard that the Battle of Hengyu was the deliberate release of Mao Haifeng, the leader of the Japanese Bandits, by the surname Lang, and wanted to wait for him to get fat in a few years before robbing him of his money. ”
Wang San Mazi said hatefully: "It's really his grandmother's, no wonder the widows are always unclean, in vain I thought that this surnamed Lang was still a well-known man." I didn't expect it to be this kind of person, don't talk about it, drink and eat. ”
Li Cangxing listened coldly to the discussions of these drinkers and did not say a word. It was all in his expectation, presumably at this time, Mao Haifeng should also know these things. And the reason why he appeared at this time in Taizhou's Ajin Restaurant was to wait for someone.
There was a loud bang on the stairs. A man also wearing a hat walked in, a pair of lightning eyes. The light was shining, but everyone in this restaurant was drinking and eating, and no one noticed the incursion of this hatster.
The hatsman walked straight to Li Cangxing, sat down opposite him with a big grin, and the bartender in a green coat ran over excitedly, and while untying the rag on his shoulder and wiping it diligently on the table in front of the hatster, he asked, "Guest, what do you want to do?" ”
The hatper didn't look at the bartender, his hand slapped on the table, and a piece of broken silver was put on the table by him, and the chopsticks in the chopsticks were shocked to jump slightly, and the voice like the intersection of gold and iron sounded: "Just like the one opposite, there will be another altar of daughter red." ”
The bartender happily picked up the piece of broken silver, turned around and left, and sang loudly: "A bowl of seafood noodles, a jar of daughter Hong!" ”
Li Cangxing raised his head slightly, and met the lightning-like eyes of the hatholder opposite, but he heard the sound of gold and iron intersecting in his ears, as if someone was speaking in his heart: "Why don't you eat meat buns today and eat seafood noodles instead?" ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly, and also used the skill of transmitting the sound into the secret: "No matter what, you should also eat something distinctive in the city that you have protected, don't you say, Commander Lu?" ”
Lu Bing sneered: "But the people in this city don't think about you, Heavenly Wolf, what the hell are you doing, do you have any new plans to disgrace yourself like this, and let Qi Jiguang return to the army?" ”
Li Cangxing picked up a few noodles and stuffed them into his mouth, but the vibration of the pleura did not stop: "This is a military plane, I can't advise, I have other things to help with you." ”
Lu Bing shook his head: "How can you be sure that I am in this Taizhou City?" Also, how do you know about the secret contact location of our Jinyi Guard in Taizhou City? ”
Li Cangxing replied coldly: "Commander-in-Chief Lu, if I can't even grasp your movements, I don't have to mix up in the future, on the occasion of this big war, if you don't sit in Taizhou, where will you go?" The county seat of Ningde has already evacuated the whole city for us, and your contact point there has also been forcibly relocated, so you, Commander-in-Chief Lu, can only condescend to control the overall situation here. ”
At this time, the bartender came up with a plate and put the seafood noodles and a good daughter red on the table, Lu Bing poured himself a bowl of wine, and sighed: "Are you so sure that I will definitely come to see you?" ”
Li Cangxing also poured himself a bowl of wine: "This Ajin Restaurant is your secret contact point, I eat here, I just want to meet you, isn't your precious daughter still waiting to see me, I don't believe that you, as a father, will not come." ”
Lu Bing gritted his teeth and drank all the wine in front of him: "It's unlikely that you came back to me for Feng Wu's business, so let's say something directly." ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "I need you to help me save someone." ”
Lu Bing's brows furrowed: "Don't you want to save Qu Caifeng again?" ”
Li Cangxing's eyes flashed with coldness: "You tell me first, Chu Tianshu is at the helm of Wushan, what kind of strength does he rely on to deal with Qu Caifeng." Lu Bing, don't sue me that you don't know anything about this matter. Last time we said that we should be honest with each other. ”
Lu Bing said coldly: "You really want to know? ”
Li Cangxing nodded: "Of course." As the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guard, it is impossible for you not to know about this, so I took the initiative to ask you, hoping that you can tell the truth. ”
Lu Bing smiled slightly: "Before Chu Tianshu came to Fujian, he had already secretly made an appointment with the Huashan faction and the Emei faction, and they would help defend the Wushan faction. ”
Li Cangxing's heart sank suddenly: "Huashan faction? They were defeated the year before last, first Sima Hong was killed in battle, and then they were attacked by the Hero Gate and the Huashan Helm, and the four major disciples were wiped out. Now that he has retired from Huanshan, he has no time to help himself, how can he agree to the request of the Dongting Gang and lead his subordinates to help defend Wushan? ”
Lu Bing sneered: "Of course, the Dongting Gang has opened enough benefits, that is, it promised to transfer the original Hengshan Sect Helm and the Lingbei Branch of the Demon Sect that had just been captured to the Huashan Faction. And it is not easy to do this in the north, as soon as the Dongting Gang makes a move, it is a big rudder, this temptation, will Zhan Mubai refuse? ”
Li Cangxing sighed: "Chu Tianshu wants the Huashan Sect to stand between him and the Demon Sect. In the future, as his precursor to deal with the Demon Sect, this move is really high. ”
Lu Bing said with a smile: "Chu Tianshu is a generation of heroes, and he is naturally powerful. As for the Emei faction, the conditions he set were after the matter was fulfilled. Transferring the Wushan faction's rudder to Emei, Lin Yaoxian naturally enjoyed it. Therefore, the Huashan faction and the Emei faction are all doing their best to help, plus they have a long-standing feud with Qu Caifeng, Sky Wolf, don't you think this is a good show? ”
Li Cangxing gritted his teeth: "Commander Lu, can you help me once this time and rescue Qu Caifeng?" ”
Lu Bing took a sip of wine unhurriedly: "Why should I help you?" It's already good that I don't go to kill Qu Caifeng with my own hands, how can I help her? Besides, don't you know that Qu Caifeng has joined the Demon Sect? Sky Wolf, do you really have any personal relationship with Qu Caifeng? Or, maybe is it also a plan for her to join the Demon Cult? ”
Li Cangxing smiled slightly: "You should know very well that Miss Qu and I are just best friends, not between men and women, she wants to rebuild the Wushan faction, she originally came to me, but I asked her to pacify the Japanese with me first, she refused to be my subordinate, so she left in a bad mood, I want to come to Leng Tianxiong, she is just a temporary shelter, Leng Tianxiong needs her to contain Chu Tianshu, and she also needs Leng Tianxiong's resources to gather the old department, I don't think she really threw away her hatred and served the Demon Sect." ”
Lu Bing said coldly: "In this way, you can still trust her, so why don't you save it yourself, but pretend to be my hand?" ”
Li Cangxing shook his head: "Chu Tianshu's plan is very poisonous, when he was in Hengyu a few days ago, he deliberately leaked this matter to me, just to see my reaction, if I lead a large team of people to rescue Miss Qu, it will be tantamount to admitting that I and Miss Qu are allies, so not only will I completely turn my face with the Dongting Gang in the future, but even Leng Tianxiong will kill Miss Qu, this is one of them." ”
"He found someone from the Fu Demon League to ambush Miss Qu, if I go to save it, it will be in conflict with the Fu Demon League, and it will be difficult to explain it clearly in the future, now I have just begun to establish my own power, and I will also have conflicts with Nan Shaolin in Fujian, at this time, I don't want to continue to cause misunderstandings. This is the second one. ”
"This third, now my brigade is planning to build a gang in Fujian, if I leave here, the painstaking management in the previous stage may be in vain, so I can't use my own subordinates, I can only rely on the strength of your commander-in-chief Lu, I know that you are in Taizhou, but the team killers are only sent to Wushan under the leadership of Feng Wu and Murong Wu at this time, ready to wait for the opportunity, right."
Lu Bing's face changed slightly, and then he regained his usual composure and calmness: "How do you know that I sent someone to Wushan?" Especially Feng Wu, she is now bedridden, how can she participate in these actions? ”
Li Cangxing's sword eyebrows were raised, and he replied coldly: "Okay, my commander-in-chief, who is Feng Wu, do you want to continue to fight with me haha?" Is she a weak woman trapped in love and bedridden? Last time she wasn't in Zhejiang, and she didn't come with you to see me, I knew that she must have sent you elsewhere, and there was something else important, now in addition to the Wushan faction, will there be more important places worthy of her dispatch? ”
Lu Bing was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I really can't hide anything from you, okay, Feng Wu has my order this time, and is ready to take the opportunity to destroy Qu Caifeng, Sky Wolf, my mind has long been decided, don't expect me to take it back." ”
Li Cangxing didn't seem surprised, and said softly: "What good is it for you to eliminate Qu Caifeng?" Just to get rid of a rival for your precious daughter? You don't really think that if you kill Qu Caifeng, I will marry Feng Wu instead. Besides, there are elites of the Huashan and Emei factions, and according to common sense, Qu Caifeng can't run away, so why do you bother to do this? ”
Lu Bing sneered: "Heavenly wolf, the reason why you want to eliminate Qu Caifeng has nothing to do with you, it is mainly the emperor's intention, she gathered people to fight against the imperial court, and escaped by chance three years ago, if she stops here, I can't chase her down, but this time she came back to gather the old department, wanted to rebuild the Wushan faction, and continued to make trouble, then I can't say, I can only take advantage of her fledgling to get rid of her."
