Yuan Shu accepted the alliance under the city, Zhang Song successfully completed the task, immediately took his leave, and rushed back to report to Liu Xun.

As soon as the person left Huainan, Zhang Song immediately flew a pigeon to pass the book and report to Liu Xun.

"Yuan Shu finally surrendered", after receiving Zhang Song's message, Liu Xun was extremely proud.

"Pass the order down and let Zhang Xiu withdraw to Chengdu."

"Let Xu Huang lead the army back to Jizhou to defend it."

"Let Zhao Yun still go back to Luoyang."

Orders were distributed.

On the streets of Chengdu.

A rickety old man has been wandering for more than ten days.

The old man's eyes looked around from time to time, and it was clear that he was looking for someone.

His eyes were fixed on a restaurant.

The ink on the restaurant sign is not open, which shows that the restaurant is newly opened.

It was a father and daughter who opened the shop.

"Boss, I want two steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk", a gangster-looking leper walked into the restaurant and shouted.

"Two steamed buns, a bowl of soy milk", the old man shouted, and brought two steaming steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk.

"Who wants to eat your old stuff's steamed buns, I want her", the leper man's face changed, and he threw two steamed buns on the old man's face, stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man's daughter, and said with an evil smile.

"Under the rule of General Liu, there is such a scoundrel", the old man was so angry that he picked up the bench and wanted to smash it.

"Don't do it, you're a foreigner, you don't know where he's coming from, he's a member of the Uyome Gang," an old diner grabbed the old man and persuaded.

"The people of the Yumu Gang can see no king's law, could it be that General Liu can't cure him?" The old man didn't come back to his senses.

"Where can General Liu manage these little things, you go to Chengdu Mansion to sue, and at most arrest this gangster. As soon as the people behind him make a move, how can you, a foreigner, still mix up in Chengdu. ”

"These people just want to take two pieces of money, just give it to him. Don't say that you're a foreigner, even if you're a local, you have to pay a share of the money to the Yumu Gang," the old and serious diner advised.

"Bring it", the leper stilted one foot onto the bench, one palm facing upwards.

"How much?"

"Ten coins and five baht coins, a month's share money, of course, you can pay the next month's money, so I don't have to run more."

"My business has just opened, and I will earn a total of 20 coins today, can it be less?"

"It's okay if you don't give it, give two steamed buns, of course it's not yours."

The old man was about to move again, and the old diner looked at him, he thought about it, touched ten five-baht coins, and handed them into the hands of the leper.

"That's right, remember, whoever dares to make trouble in your shop in the future will find me a leper", the leper took the copper coin in his hand and walked away.

The rickety old man heard all the words of several people, and saw them in his eyes, and then followed behind the leper head.

After walking a few streets, I turned into an alley, and the number of people gradually decreased.

"Old thing, what are you doing with me all the time, say, what are you doing?"

The leper suddenly turned back and punched him.

The old man stretched out two fingers and clamped the leper's wrist.

"Spare your life," cried out the leper in pain, "I gave you all the ten coins I just collected, please let it go." ”

Seeing that he had met a master, the leper hurriedly begged for mercy.

The rickety old man let go of his fingers, stared at the leper with a pair of eyes, and said word by word: "Money, I don't want any of you, and I will give you money." ”

The old man took out a silver ticket and threw it to the leper, and the leper's mouth immediately opened wide, "One hundred taels, I will charge a year's protection fee, and I can draw up to twenty taels of silver, and this is a fortune." ”

Then the leper thought of something, and handed the silver ticket back to the old man, "Say, what do you want me to do, see if I can do it?" ”

"I want to see someone", the old man did not take the silver ticket and pushed it back to the leper.

"Who?"

"The head of the Umeme Gang."

"You are the Chengdu Mansion to catch fast", the leper suddenly put the silver ticket into his arms, and ran away with cold legs.

Ran to the end of the alley, crashed into a person's arms, looked up, and saw that it was a rickety old man, and was frightened, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm not a quick catcher, I'm just an old friend of your hall master, you don't need to panic. Take me to see your master, and he will not blame you, but he will reward you. ”

"Why should I trust you?"

"That's it," the old man put a few more silver tickets in the palm of the leper's hand.

"Five hundred taels? Lao Tzu can't earn so much money in his life, okay, I've taken this risk", weighed one, and made up his mind.

The leper took the rickety old man to turn left and right and came to the door of a pharmacy.

When I entered the pharmacy, someone immediately came over to greet me, "Leper, I'm back so soon, today's business is going well." ”

"I want to see the hall master, his old friend is here," the leper said in a low voice.

"If you recruit the catcher, the hall master won't pick your skin."

"Lend me 10,000 guts, I don't dare to do that kind of thing, this person doesn't look like this."

"Okay, you wait in the outer hall first, and I'll go into the inner hall to report."

After a while, the man came out and said to the rickety old man, "Our hall master invites you to come in." ”

The rickety old man walked into the inner hall, and a big man with a meaty face was staring at him viciously.

The big man was bare-chested, with muscles all over his body, and a half-foot-long scar on his face, which made him know at a glance that he was not a good person.

"Say, what the hell are you," Scarface shouted.

"Your friend."

"How can I have a friend like you?"

"Many friends have many paths, and friends are too few and not too many."

"Some friends are in danger, so don't do it."

"If you don't tell the truth, I'm welcome", Scarface suddenly struck, his claws like hooks, and grabbed the rickety old man's chest.

I didn't see how the rickety old man behaved, and Scarface's offensive failed.

"Mighty Eagle grasps the skill, although it is extraordinary, you are a little short of fire."

"Then try a few more claws", Scarface shot like the wind, and grabbed the rickety old man with both claws one after another.

The old man flicked his hand, Scarface screamed miserably, and when he withdrew his hands to look, there was a red mark on the back of his hand, like a fire.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your mercy", Scarface has already seen that the other party is simply letting himself, otherwise he would not allow himself to make so many moves.

"You're welcome, Your Excellency's martial arts are also a good kung fu, but it's just a little lacking."

"Who the hell are you?"

"You don't need to know that, I just need you to introduce someone."

"Who?"

"This room is very elegantly furnished, there are four treasures of the study", without answering the other party's question, the rickety old man suddenly walked to the table, picked up the pen and ink, and drew a plum blossom.

"How do you know this, who you really are?" Scarface's voice trembled as if he had seen a ghost, and it was clear that something was terrified.

"Plum and snow are white", the rickety old man still didn't answer Scarface's question, and suddenly chanted a headless poem.

"Snow loses a piece of plum fragrance", Scarface said the next sentence.

"Since you came to worship the mountain according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, I will inform you. To see it or not, but I can't be the master", Scarface's face softened a little.

"A little courtesy, please smile", the rickety old man threw a stack of silver tickets.

"How dare you do this?" Scarface said in a sneering voice, since he knew that the other party had a great background, he was a little embarrassed.

"You're welcome, you're not like those people. They don't have a lot of money, and you live a day licking blood with a knife," said the rickety old man.

"It's better to be respectful, please wait here for a moment", Scarface said respectfully.

It didn't take long for Scarface to bring someone back.

It was a lean man.

A smoker.

From his burnt fingers, it can be seen that this person has a great addiction to smoking.

What's more, the man was carrying a dry tobacco pipe in his hand.

The man has a long horse face and a short and thin body, which looks very funny.

The rickety old man didn't smile at all, just looked at each other with a solemn face.

The lean man was also looking at the rickety old man.

"You look strong," said the lean man.

The rickety old man didn't speak, just looked at each other.

"With your skills, you shouldn't have come here," the lean man sighed.

"There are some things that can't be solved by your skills alone," the rickety old man replied.

"I know that, otherwise you wouldn't be here. What you can't solve, I can't solve. ”

"The people behind you can solve it."

"Looks like you know us well".

"I have been adrift on the rivers and lakes for many years, and I know some secrets."

"That's right."

"So it is offended."

The thin man suddenly made a move, and the dry tobacco pipe smashed on the body of the rickety old man, and it turned out to be the acupoint in the middle of the acupoint that hit him, and the recognition of the acupoint was strange and accurate, which was completely a famous technique.

The rickety old man obviously hung a long sword from his waist, but he didn't draw his sword, but just took a step back.

The dry tobacco pipe stepped forward again, and smashed it as usual, but it was directly taken to the temple of the rickety old man.

This move seems to be dull, but it is extremely fierce and has deep internal strength, and the five-foot retreat around the old man is all blocked by this trick.

This inner hall is narrow, and the old man has no way to retreat.

"Don't draw your sword yet," said the lean man.

The old man's left hand touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, but he did not pull it out.

Seeing that the dry tobacco pipe was about to hit the old man's temple.

The old man's right hand was raised, and he pointed a little, and the latter came first, and a strong wind rushed to the temples of the lean man.

If the man doesn't retreat, his dry tobacco pipe won't hit the other party's head, but his own point will eat the other party's finger wind first.

He knew he couldn't afford it.

I don't want to suffer either.

So, he retreated, narrowly avoiding a blow from the other party.

"Why don't you draw your sword?"

"Because I can't draw my sword."

"Looks like you really know the rules."

"If you want the Huang family to do something, you must fight with the opponent's weapons with your bare hands, I knew it twenty years ago."

"It's good to know, and the price you pay after doing things must be known."

"That is, one thing must be done for the Huang family in the future, and there is no excuse."

"Okay."

"Haven't asked for your name yet?"

"Tong Yuan."

"You're the famous dark flower swordsman Tong Yuan on the rivers and lakes?" The lean man was taken aback.

"That's all in the past, and I'm now working under the Huainan Yuan Shu account."

"What do you want us to do for you?"

"Yuan Yingying, the daughter of Yuan Shu, assassinated Liu Xun and was captured, I want you to help me rescue her from the Chengdu prison."

"Is it worth it for you?"

"The big husband does something and doesn't do it."

"It's about the two princes, I can't be the master, I have to ask the head of the family, you wait a while", the thin man walked out.

Where no one was around, the lean man sealed a letter in a bamboo tube, tied it to the leg of a carrier pigeon, and released the carrier pigeon.

If Liu Xun saw this scene, he would be surprised that the other party actually used a flying pigeon to pass the book
