Chapter 503: Stand-in
Wang Shihua, who was a little hesitant, saw He Mei's righteous momentum, and immediately concluded: He Mei at this time has absolutely no selfishness, let alone dissent.
"Good!"
He Mei turned around and continued to Ergouzi: "With the skills of Lao Tang, a thief, it should be no problem for him to lurk into Xiaojiazhai alone, but if he is not afraid of 10,000, he is afraid of just in case, if necessary, he can use the spies arranged in Xiaojiazhai to help...... Anyway, you tell him that he is better at this kind of thing than me, and he will do it himself. I don't look at the process, I just look at the result. ”
"What about the stones......" He Mei thought for a moment and said: "With Xiao Bing's suspicious nature, he is likely to think: the Grand Canyon is a place where the forces of the three major families are intertwined, if someone sets up an ambush in the Grand Canyon, he will not even laugh at who ambushed him, and he will definitely not be blind, so he will most likely take the road leading to Shendao Town." In this way, Ergouzi, you go and tell the stone about it, and let him set up an ambush in front of Old Man Xiao, it is best to see a large group of people rushing to the night with torches, and put down a few big trees in front. Old man Xiao is suspicious, he will not dare to come forward to investigate at first, and when he is sure that it is safe, he will definitely go to see it in person, and when the time comes, you let the stone shoot him, and you must make sure that Old Man Xiao is only injured and not killed. If he is not sure about it because of the light or other reasons, he can give up. ”
"Yes!" Ergouzi answered, but asked with some confusion: "Aunt He, it's just that at this time, I'm afraid it's too late." You see......"
"Don't worry, Old Man Xiao has been bullying the soft and afraid of the hard all his life, since he is drunk in front of Shihua, he will definitely play the show to the end, not two or three miles away from Lao Sicheng, he doesn't dare to speed up. You let Old Tang and Shi lead people to wait for him first, and they can definitely wait. ”
Waiting for the second dog to lead people to rush out quickly, He Mei let out a long breath. Seeing Wang Shihua looking at him puzzled, he smiled and said, "Shihua, wait a minute, we will know if Old Man Xiao is a ghost or not." ”
……
Wang Shihua lost the bet, He Mei guessed very accurately, or in other words, He Mei's grasp of people's hearts is really perfect, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a demon.
Xiao Bing is a bandit's habit is difficult to change: bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, suspicious by nature, for fear that Wang Shihua will see something, after leaving the palace with a little drunkenness, he was helped on the horse by his subordinates, and slowly walked out of the old Sicheng. But even when he got out of Lao Sicheng, he didn't dare to speed up immediately, but waited for a mile or two away from Lao Sicheng before he dared to speed up a little...... I have to say that Wang Shihua was lucky, and he was right: if he hadn't drunk Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing would definitely speed up and leave as soon as he left the palace, and how could he give Iron and Stone time to ambush him - the difference between the people on the two sides was only two or three minutes. And in this, there is also the credit of Ergouzi and He Mei: Ergouzi went to the gate of the palace and asked the doorman, and when he heard that Xiao Bing was going in the direction of the west gate, he immediately felt great admiration for He Mei's decision in advance about the route of Old Man Xiao's return, which happened to save two or three minutes.
Xiao Bing was distressed and proud along the way: what distressed was that it would be nice if such a good thing could fall into his pocket; Proudly, this cheap pick is good, and he can easily get hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, and after he goes back, he can confidently ask the other party to give him weapons and ammunition...... Especially from Wang Shihua, who is known as the youngest and most powerful, this sense of accomplishment makes him a little fluttery.
Li Jieying didn't get Liu Shaoxun's order, and she didn't dare to be good at buying the Wang family, but as a top spy, she came all the way from the northeast to Jiangyin County, so she naturally had to figure out the pattern of various local forces as soon as possible.
As a balancing act, although the focus is on supporting the Wang family, it is natural to find a few potential enemies for the Wang family. The other three have a strong background, and supporting them is likely to backfire, so finding the sworn enemy of the Wang family or being easy to control will naturally become the preferred target.
Xiao Bing, who does not have the strong foundation of the family after years of precipitation, is also a capricious villain...... He was not severely punished by the government for his behavior of accepting Zhao'an and rebelling twice in succession, but on the contrary, he became stronger and stronger, and let him taste the sweetness. This is exactly why the Japanese value him, and the two sides hit it off.
Fortunately, Xiao Bing is different from Tian Hemp: Tian Hemp Zi is a cottage outside the power of the Wang family, so it can be directly supported. But Xiao Bing is trying to survive in the four major families, and if he wants to support him blatantly, it will definitely arouse the detection of the four major families, which is not conducive to the entire plan of the Japanese...... On the other hand, this is also the most effective means to threaten Xiao Bing. As long as there is the first cooperation with Xiao Bing, then Xiao Bing must dare to repeat as before, and he does not need the Japanese to send troops, he only needs to reveal the news to the four major families, and the four major families will never be merciful.
Everything has a cause and effect!
If he hadn't formed a mortal enmity with the Wang family at the beginning, Tian Hezi would not have left the country, let alone want to trouble the Wang family all the time. If Tian Haozi hadn't attacked the Wang family's fleet, Wang Shihua would not have been so anxious to attack Luoshui Village, and it would have been impossible to suspect that there were traitors around him from the time period, and he would not have discovered Li Jieying's true identity along the way, let alone suspect Liu Shaoxun's identity and the purpose of approaching the Wang family, in that case, in Liu Shaoxun's eyes, the control of the Wang family was still going very smoothly, not as now, there was a huge rift. If there is no crack, naturally there is no need to make up for it, and it will not be sniffed out by He Mei's demonic keen sense of smell, thus exposing another big chess piece in Liu Shaoxun's hand - Xiao Bing!
The most important thing is that Liu Shaoxun, who thinks that he has figured out Wang Shihua's character, should not, should not, should not continue remote control, and did not go to the Wang family as a guest, otherwise, he will definitely see the demon in his mouth in the future, and he will inevitably make corresponding adjustments to the Wang family's plan.
This time, he believed that since the Wang family had reached the critical moment of gathering manpower, it would inevitably need more allies to support the obstacles that might be encountered, so he planned to take advantage of this God-given opportunity to let Xiao Bing show goodwill with the Wang family, and then contact and cooperate many times, and finally form an alliance to achieve the goal of planting a nail around the Wang family that is an ally when obedient and an enemy when disobedient. In this way, it can play a role in the checks and balances of the Wang family and Xiao Bing, which is easy to control, which can be described as a lot of benefits. Otherwise, with the greed of the Japanese devils, how could this treasure looted from the Forbidden City flow into Wang Shihua's hands again?
For Xiao Bing, at present, he can be described as pleasing at both ends, benefiting from both ends, and naturally willing to cooperate. As for whether it will be controlled by Liu Shaoxun in the future, with Xiao Bing's villain mentality and confidence in this aspect, he thinks he has a way.
The night is hazy, and the moon is clear! The long queue of more than 100 people with torches is particularly conspicuous in the night.
Xiao Bing couldn't help but grin silently every time he thought that his strength was about to reach a new level.
This kind of beautiful mentality was maintained for four or five hours - in order to prevent Wang Shihua from seeing anything, when passing by the Blue and White Inn, he also deliberately went in to have some supper. It can be seen that anyone's success is not a fluke, and there are its advantages.
"Stop!"
Xiao Bing, who was fantasizing about a bright future, heard the sudden shout stop in front of him, and his first reaction was to dismount.
I don't know how many times this kind of thing has been practiced, but as soon as he got off the horse, a guard next to him who was about the same size as him and looked a little similar shouted, "What's the matter?" ”
"The big boss, the road ahead is blocked by stones." Feelings: This is the old man Xiao who is afraid that people will beat him, and he came to a trick.
"Can you move away?"
"Yes! You'll have to wait a bit, though. ”
"Yes! You stand on guard, and I'll take someone to take a look. ”
Old Man Xiao's stand-in took more than a dozen guards to fight forward, but Old Man Xiao was mixed in the large army, and it was dark, and the guards deliberately lowered the torches, so it was difficult to distinguish Old Man Xiao from more than ten meters away. And the stand-in held the torch high, and at a glance, he really thought that the stand-in he came forward to check was real, at least, and the iron stone fell for this.
The stand-in came to the front and saw five big stones lined up on the road, and his eyelids jumped: Damn, this is someone doing business! I don't know if the target is a big boss, but you must have eyesight, don't take my stand-in seriously.
"I don't know which way of the heroes is doing business here? Under Xiao Bing! Please forgive me for intruding on my friend's path by mistake. ”
The stand-in clasped his fists and saluted the darkness, acting according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. After speaking, he looked up and looked around, but unfortunately, the mountains on both sides were like black spirits, and no one answered at all except for the majestic towering.
After waiting for a while, but seeing no response, the stand-in frowned: Don't answer, don't move, what does this mean?
Just as his brow furrowed deeper and deeper, and the guards around him were all loaded......
"Smack!"
"Ahh
The stand-in screamed and fell off the horse.
As soon as he fell to the ground, he grabbed his right arm and screamed as he slipped under the horse's belly: "On the right! On the right, shoot back! ”
"Protect the big boss!" Several of the guards immediately dismounted, gathered around the double, and frantically swarmed the double towards the grass on the left. And the real Xiao Bing was surrounded by seven or eight guards immediately, and taking advantage of the panic when everyone began to fight back, they quietly protected Xiao Bing and touched the grass on the left.
"Smack! Syllable! Smack......"
"Bang! Bang! Bang......"
After a short fight, someone shouted: "Stop fighting, don't fight......"
The gunfire quickly died down.
After waiting nervously for a while, seeing that the other party did not return fire, the previous man shouted: "Put out the torches, move away the stones, and everyone will move forward." ”
Everyone did what they were told, and sure enough, the journey went smoothly.
Seeing Xiao Bing's men disappear into the night, Tie Shi licked his lips and turned around and asked, "Are you all right?" ”
"Battalion commander, we're all fine."
"Send a telegram to the head of the family, saying that we successfully completed the task, and Xiao Bing fled with his injuries." Tie Shi was careless for a while, but Tang Ming was aggrieved for a long time.
And Xiao Bing and the others did not dare to light the torches again until they were five or six miles away from the ambush point.
"Shoko, are you alright?"
"The big one, the small one is bitten by a mosquito, it's okay!"
"I really didn't misunderstand you, you're a man." After Xiao Bing praised it, he sighed: "It's really hard for you, you saved my life again today." ”
"The big boss, if there was no you back then, the whole family would starve to death......
"One is one, two is two, and it can't be mixed up...... In a word, I don't thank you for my great kindness, and I remember this kindness. When you go back, take care of your injuries first. ”
"Xie Da is in charge."
Xiao Bing nodded with a smile, patted the other party's shoulder, and whispered: "However, this road is still not safe, and it depends on you." ”
It can be seen that Xiao Bing's cunning and ruthlessness: how can he, who is selfish, really care about the lives of his subordinates......
