Chapter 165: All the Way South

In the middle of the night, Cui Gang's subordinates led more than ten people out of Qinglong County overnight and went straight to Cui Gang's place.

The people and horses met, Cui Gang stood on a boulder, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, it's not me Cui Gang is unkind, it's really the old thief who traps me in injustice, Cui Gang swears here, if there is half a lie, I will be killed by ten thousand arrows through my heart." Today, there is no place for me Cui Gang to stand in Qinglong County, and those brothers who are willing to go with me will take a step forward, and those who don't want to go will take a step back. Where to go, Cui will never force it, and those who don't want to go with me are still my brothers, and we will meet again in the future. ”

"Follow the boss to the death!" Everyone under the stone spoke in unison, the sound shook for nine days, and they took a step forward at the same time. With the sound, Cui Gang's heart also trembled, and he shouted: "Let's go immediately!" "I was very relieved.

As soon as the words fell, they heard the sound of squirming footsteps outside the forest, and everyone was shocked, and they all turned around and looked back. Soon, many figures appeared in the forest, and Fang Hu took the lead in walking through the forest, staring at Cui Gang step by step.

"Fang Protector!" Cui Gang whispered, his brows furrowed, and he said in his heart that this person is righteous, he is a good person, and he has a high prestige in the martial arts hall. He is one of the elders of the martial arts hall, and he was under his command when he first joined the gang, but he has always been loyal to Sikong Po, and it seems that a battle is inevitable tonight.

"Count you kid still remembering my protector!" Fang Hu didn't stop at his feet, pushed away the people in front of him, and came to stand under the boulder.

Cui Gang jumped up, jumped to the ground, stood opposite Fang Hu, and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, what does Fang Protector want, you might as well draw a line." ”

Fang Hu snorted coldly, staring at Cui Gang, struggling in his heart, since the day he entered the martial arts hall, Fang Hu knew his personality very well, and he didn't believe that he could do such a thing that lost his conscience, but now the government and the people of the whole city are determined by this established fact, unless the real murderer surfaces, otherwise he will be determined by this black cauldron.

"The hall master doesn't know why you think he's a thief of the heart, and it's heartbroken. He sent me tonight not to take you, but to let me see you off in person, and to say that he would find out the real culprit for you, wash away your grievances, and let you return as soon as possible. With that, Fang Hu took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and stuffed them into Cui Gang's hand.

Seeing his displeasure on his face, Fang Hu hurriedly said: "What kind of hero is supporting at this time?!" Think of you brothers! This is not the silver taels given to you by the hall master, but what you deserve for your hard work in the past few years. Cui Gang trembled, his hands stopped in the air, and he was at a loss. Finally, he raised his eyes and looked at the one hundred and tenth brother in front of him, clenched the silver ticket in his hand, and put it in his arms.

……

On the way back to the city, Fang Hu looked at Qinglong County not far away, sighed, and seemed to ask himself, "Whose words are true?" "It was as if my heart had been pierced by a sharp sword, and it hurt terribly. Deep in my heart, this qiē prayer is all fake.

Ten miles south of Qinglong County, on a rugged mountain road, Cui Gang took the No. 100 brothers all the way south. Thinking of the words that Xiao Yao told himself before leaving Qinglong County, Cui Gang had nothing to say all the way, and he was calculating in his heart.

Cui Gang and the others traveled all the way south, and every time they arrived in a town, they left five of their subordinates, handed them a few taels of silver, and let them develop freely, only to make it clear, not to oppress the good people, and to inquire about the whereabouts of Xiao Yao and others along the way. At this time, it took advantage of the large number of people, and every time the group arrived in a big city, they all went out to inquire about the news, and they could always find some traces of Xiao Yao and others. Until the group dressed up all the way to Donghua Town, they met a merchant surnamed Zhu.

When the merchant surnamed Zhu met Cui Gang, only a dozen of his subordinates were with him and went to a restaurant surnamed Zhu to eat. When Master Zhu heard that Cui Gang and the others had foreign accents, he found them and threatened to make a deal with them. When Cui Gang heard this, he thought about it carefully, he didn't know when he would meet Xiao Yao, so he simply agreed to Master Zhu and took over the business.

The merchant surnamed Zhu took Cui Gang and the others elsewhere and said what he thought, just saying that he could let Cui Gang and the others cooperate with him, and he didn't have to worry about anything else. After the matter was completed, he promised to pay Cui Gang 5,000 taels of silver, which was considered a reward.

After Cui Gang heard the idea surnamed Zhu, he just let himself and others pretend to be horse bandits, and go to Xinghua Village every few nights to harass them, without hurting people or setting fires, just by making a show, he can get these silver, which is also cost-effective, after all, his brothers have a lot of money to eat, wear, live and travel every day.

…… In the cave, Cui Gang finished telling his experience in the past few days in one breath, and he couldn't finish talking until his mouth was dry and his throat was smoking. Xiao Yao sat on the side, from beginning to end, without saying a word, just listening to him slowly, until he finished speaking, Wu Zi sat there and pondered.

Suddenly, Xiao Yao came to his senses, smiled faintly, and patted Cui Gang on the shoulder, "I haven't seen you for three days, I am impressed, you are no longer the gang man who only knows how to fight blindly and is full of guts, yes, the progress is not small, haha." "Seeing the growth and progress of my former brothers, and not seeing each other for many days, I feel more comfortable when I see them today.

Hearing Xiao Yao's approval, Cui Gang felt full of strength, but then suddenly said: "It's just that I took my brother away, I don't know if there will be any changes in the Zhao family, the Qi family and the Wang family." I didn't do a good job of the other things you gave me, Boss, I am ashamed of the boss! After speaking, he was about to kneel down to Xiao Yao, and was held up by Xiao Yao.

"There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. How can you blame this kind of thing? What's more, you've done a great job and didn't let me down! Xiao Yao helped him up, turned around, glanced at everyone in the cave again, and nodded frequently.

However, when Cui Gang was a little happy in his heart, Xiao Yao said lightly: "Now I'm only afraid of the affairs of Qinglong County, which is not as simple as what you said." After speaking, he sighed lightly, looked up at the lava rock on the top of the cave, and looked thoughtfully.

After a while, Xiao Yao sighed again and said, "Forget it, it's useless to talk more now, put aside the affairs of Qinglong County for the time being." Do you know what the merchant surnamed Zhu is trying to do when he asks you to pretend to be a horse bandit? Xiao Yao had basically made up his mind in his heart, and he just wanted to know Cui Gang's opinion on this matter.

Cui Gang was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and shook his head slightly, his face full of shame.

Xiao Yao smiled lightly, signaling that he didn't have to mind. He walked to the stone, pulled him to sit down, and said, "Since ancient times, there have been clouds, merchants, and profits. You only see the small profit in front of you, and ignore the other party's intentions, who knows that he only spends 5,000 taels of silver to use you, and you can get ten times or even a hundred times the return, and you may be wanted by the government because of this, and your identity will be exposed, but he will be safe and sound afterwards. Because of the small and the big, today it is not me but others, I am afraid that at this time you have been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and no one can escape from this blockade. ”

Listening to Xiao Yao's analysis, Cui Gang broke out in a cold sweat on his back, the more he thought about it, the more palpitations he felt, he unconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and looked up at these brothers in the cave, I almost hurt them! His hands clenched into fists and smashed into his head, feeling a pang of regret in his heart.
