Chapter 269: A Gathering of Heroes

Li Mingyuan is not familiar with life in Shanxi, and he is not Meng Ranhao, he is a patrolman on behalf of the sky, and the people in the government will naturally not pay attention to him, but there is no endless road, and at a critical juncture, he remembered to borrow the strength of the people in the rivers and lakes to help himself.

Because of the relationship between the six doors, Li Mingyuan quickly got in touch with the people in Shanxi, and with the help of the people in the rivers and lakes, Li Mingyuan found Gao Zhiming.

Zhuge Ying is a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes of Shanxi, and his reputation is also quite high, and he can help the previous generation of Tianxun Hunting Lords, which is naturally a blessing from the previous life, so for Li Mingyuan's request, Zhuge Ying didn't think about it, so he agreed.

In order to help Li Mingyuan, Zhuge Ying specially invited two kowtow friends Hong Liang and You Hai. Hong Liang, You Hai is your cousin, You Hai is You Junda's descendant, and Hong Liang's mother You is You Hai's aunt. The four of them came to Shuangtai Mountain with Gao Zhiming, Gao Zhiming didn't see Cai Wenlong, Ji Wenhu, and asked Zhang Wen and Li Wu, and the two said that Cai and Ji went to the exclusive city that night to find out the murder of Lord Meng, and they never came back after leaving.

At this time, under Zhuge Ying's call, people from all walks of life in the martial arts arrived one after another. Erlong Mountain came from Zhuge Ying, Yu Chenglong, Liu Tianbiao, Shen Jinlong, Yanziji, Yanzitao, and Iron Ball Mountain came to iron into gold and iron into silver; Majiazhai came to Ma Long, Ma Hu, Hong Liang, You Hai; Luojiazhai came the veteran Luo Hong, his son Luo Shaobao, the girl Luo Saijin, Wang Liang, Li Zhong, Qin Hong, Cheng Youchun; Taihang Mountain came the veteran Hua Shixiong, four sons Hualong, Huahu, Hua Biao, Hua Leopard, girl Hua Yuegu, four daughters-in-law Hong Jinping, Hong Yinping, Li Yuxiang, Li Yulan, as well as Zhao Bao, Qian Yue'e, Jade Butterfly Lin Zhong. Liu Jiazhai came to Liu Jiao, Liu Bao, Li Wanshu, and Li Wanli. Wu Jiashan came to the eight brothers of the Wu family: Wu Ren, Wu Yi, Wu Zhong, Wu Xiao, Wu Zhi, Wu Yong, Wu Shuang, and Wu Quan.

Zhang Wen. Li Wu and the two general soldiers took a look! The people in these martial arts are high. The short, the ugly, the handsome, the male, the female, the old, the young, all heroic; Majestic-looking. Everyone gathered together, and Gao Zhiming said: "Thousands of people walk, one leader." We've got to elect a leader. Everyone invariably pointed to Zhuge Ying and said, "Mr. take the lead." ”

Gao Zhiming looked at Li Mingyuan and found that the eldest brother also agreed. Li Mingyuan is a person who cares about the overall situation, and he knows that rescuing his godfather is the most important thing at the moment.

Under the enthusiastic invitation of everyone, Zhuge Ying couldn't refuse. I had to say yes. Then add up how to act. Zhuge Ying said: "Let's go to Dongping City." Now there may be soldiers in and out of the gate of Dongping Mansion, everyone is dressed like this, Quan Ming has a blade, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter. You need to dress up in disguise. I know that there is a Baijia shop on South Street in the city. The backyard of this shop is huge. There is also a building in the backyard. The owner of the store is a very good person, loyal and decent, called Bai Kun. Let's go into town. It's better to all stay there. Whoever goes to the city first, who goes to the shop. Everyone, let's cross the sea with the eight immortals, show their magical powers, and meet at Baijiadian after entering the city.

The two imperial commanders, Zhang Wen and Li Wu, took 3,000 imperial forest troops, 500 knife sharpeners, and 40 captains who did not move, and all stayed in Shuanghe Mountain. Let's get dressed up and enter the city. ”

Dozens of men and women in the martial arts plus more than 100 people under his entourage all disguised themselves according to their personal conditions, some dressed up as sharpening scissors and grabbing kitchen knives, some pretended to be trading, some pretended to be a handle-style performer, and some pretended to sell plasters and sell strong pills...... Several female martial arts people led by Qian Yue, dressed as flower drums.

Zhuge Ying pretended to be a fortune teller, and was the first to come to Dongping City and set up a hexagram stall in the city gate cave. As soon as it was put on the table, the defenders of the city came over: "Hey! Fortune teller, do you have eyes? Are you in the city, or outside the city? The hexagram stall is placed in the city gate, and it is inconvenient for people to enter and exit the city! It's inside, it's outside, move it!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhuge Ying pulled the hexagram stall into the city. As soon as he entered the city, he didn't count the hexagrams, put away the hexagram stall and left. He came in front of the Baijia store on South Street, and happened to come out of the shopkeeper Bai Kun. When Bai Diandong saw Zhuge Ying, he hurriedly asked, "Sir, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

"I'm going to stay in the hotel." "You look like you're waiting for someone ......"

"Yes, we have a lot of people here, we have everything, we plan to live in one place, can you live in a hundred or so people in Baijiadian?"

When Bai Diandong heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I can live, I can live." I haven't had many customers in this store since it was built, especially the building in the backyard, there are nine rooms upstairs, nine rooms downstairs, and the eighteen rooms are clean and bright. ”

"Okay, we've got the eighteen rooms."

Bai Diandong let Zhuge Ying into the house, and Zhuge Ying took out three hundred taels of silver: "Shopkeeper, you take these three hundred taels of silver and put them on your cabinet first, and all the expenses for food and accommodation will be opened by these three hundred taels, if it is not enough, you will come to me again." ”

Bai Diandong had never seen so much silver, and even said, "Okay, good." ”

Not long after, men and women in the martial arts entered the Baijiadian one after another, and the eighteen houses upstairs and downstairs in the backyard lived in a full board. The guys in the store ran back and forth, washing their faces, making tea, and they were really busy! Zhuge Ying counted the number of people, there were a lot, all of them came, they were very happy, and said: "Everyone chose me as the leader, I have to say a few words to everyone, without my words, no one is allowed to go out casually." If there is anyone who leaves the store, you must tell me first, and if you leave the store without permission and tell me to know the way, I will be guilty according to the mountain regulations. ”

The group said, "Please rest assured, sir, we will do it." ”

After everyone had dinner, Gao Zhiming said to Zhuge Ying: "I don't know how Lord Daitian Patrol is in the Exclusive City, and I don't know how Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu are doing, I plan to go to the Exclusive City tonight to investigate, I don't know what Mr. thinks?"

Zhuge Ying said: "You go to Taidan alone, find another one." ”

Li Mingyuan immediately got up and said without hesitation: "Zhiming, I'll go with you!" ”

"No, Captain Li, you won't work lightly, and it's in vain to go!" Zhuge Ying decisively refused.

At this time, Liu Jiao, the flying dragon, said, "Sir, how about I go with Brother Ming?"

"Yes, you two need to be careful." The two changed into night clothes, took their blades, and went out of the Bai family's shop. That's it, Gao Zhiming. Liu Jiao and the others came to the exclusive city. The two of them climbed the city and entered the exclusive city, came to the palace of the king of leisure, and went around. Gao Zhiming saw Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu at a glance, and was stunned at first: Ah? Isn't this Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu? And then I thought, "Oh, I see. The two of them are surrendering the exclusive city! Good thing, I, Gao Zhiming, am really blind, I didn't kill the two of you at the beginning, and I persuaded the two of them to change their ways, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and help Lord Meng! I don't want you two to be wall-to-wall. Whichever end of the wind is hard, it will be poured down! Attaboy. I'm going to kill you both by my sword tonight!" The more Gao Zhiming thought about it, the more angry he became, and whispered to Liu Jiao.

Liu Jiao said: "Brother Ming, this matter is easy to do, let's follow up." One person carries the other. Wouldn't it be over slaughtering two unconscionable boys?"

Gao Zhiming pondered for a moment. said: "We have to let the two of them die, and before we kill them, I have to talk to them." ”

"Yes. Let the two of them know how they died. Let's go!"

Gao Zhiming and Liu Jiao secretly followed Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu, and when they saw Cai and Ji going up to the practice building, Gao Zhiming said to Liu Jiao: "You give me a sentry, and I will kill them both." ”

Liu Jiao was patrolling below, and Gao Zhiming went up to the practice building. Because he came at night, Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu closed the door after entering the house. Gao Zhiming wanted to call the door, but he thought again: You can't call the door, call the door in and ask, and they won't be able to vent their true feelings. If you want to know your confidants, you have to listen to what you say behind your back! Gao Zhiming came to the window, scratched the window lattice paper, looked inside, and saw Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu putting wine and food on the table, kneeling in front of the table, each kowtowing three heads, Xin and the two said: "My lord, you love to drink, we got you a few wines, dishes, you can drink......

The two of them spoke in a very low voice, and Gao Zhiming couldn't hear it clearly, thinking: Don't delay your work! He shook himself to the door, snapped, snapped, and gently slammed the door three times. Cai and Ji heard someone calling the door and hurriedly stood up. Because of the panic in his heart, he didn't bother to ask who called the door, so he stepped forward and opened the door. Gao Zhiming rushed into the room, grabbed Ji Wenhu, kicked down Cai Wenlong, brush! Pull out the single knife. He held a single knife in his hand, his tiger eyes were wide open, his teeth were slightly clenched, and he shouted in a low voice: "Ji Wenhu and Cai Wenlong, I didn't expect you two to surrender under the door of the old thief Huang Ba, how can I tolerate the two of you!"

Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu saw that it was none other than Brother Ming's brother Gao Zhiming, and tears flowed out at once. Cai Wenlong saw that Gao Zhiming was about to make a move, and hurriedly said, "Brother Ming, slow down!" The two of us have a few words to say, "Let us speak, and we will speak; We are not allowed to say anything, and we will never say more if we die with humiliation!"

When Gao Zhiming heard this, he felt that there was something in the words and a sound outside the words, how could he not let others say it? Said: "Speak! ”

Cai Wenlong put on the plan to enter the exclusive city in order to explore the master, Jubaolou stole the seal of the Heavenly Patrol and was taken, how to deceive Sun Hong with clever words, Huang Baxin thought it was true to accept the two of him as a teacher, and the two of them wanted to find an opportunity to save Lord Meng, Li Mingyuan and others said again, and then said that Zhao Changyong came to Dongping City, and Huang Ba and Huang Ba tried to guard Lord Meng at night, and threw him into the Black Dragon Pond alive...... When Gao Zhiming heard this, he made an "oops" sound and immediately fainted to the ground. Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu hurriedly came over, supported Gao Zhiming, rubbed his chest, beat his back, and kept shouting: "Brother Ming, wake up, Brother Ming wake up!"

After a while, Gao Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Master Meng, don't complain, don't complain, just complain that I Gao Zhiming didn't protect the adults well!"

Gao Zhiming cried while chattering, Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu also cried like tears. Seeing this scene, Gao Zhiming thought: It seems that the two of them did not surrender to Huang Ba. If it does, we faint and fall to the ground, and the two of them will kill me.

Gao Zhiming stood up and asked, "What are you two kneeling in front of and kowtowing about?"

Cai Wenlong said: "Brother Ming, the two of us went to Sun Hong just now to inquire about the situation and learned that the master was dead. The two of us were afraid of being outnumbered and disrespectful, so we didn't dare to do it. ZHANG Xin. Wang Qi and other people in the martial arts are still being held in the dungeon, we really can't save them, so we have to wait for Brother Ming to come and find a way. We knew that Master Lu Dao was born to drink the best, so we found an excuse to ask for some wine and food from Sun Hong, and put it on the table when we came back. He cried again.

When Gao Zhiming heard this, he was even more sad, and said with tears in his eyes: "I wronged the two of you just now, don't blame me." ”

The two said: "Brother Ming really killed both of us, and neither of us gave in." We both only hated ourselves for being incompetent. ”

"Don't say that."

"Brother Ming, each; Road. Have you invited someone from the martial arts?"

"Please."

"Brother Ming, what are you going to do?"

"There are a lot of people from the rivers and lakes who have been invited, and they only entered Dongping City today, and they all live in Baijiadian on South Street, and the owner of the store is called Bai Kun, who is a loyal and honest person. There are a total of eighteen houses upstairs and downstairs in the backyard of the store, all of which are our people. Tonight, my friend Liu Jiao and I came to explore the exclusive city, and when we saw the two of you, I thought you two had surrendered to Huang Ba. That's why I went upstairs with the two of you. I'm going to kill you both. Liu Jiao is still guarding outside, I'll call him, let's discuss it and see what to do. ”

Gao Zhiming said. before leaving the room. Liu Jiao was in a hurry. I went upstairs to find out what was going on. The two met at the door. Liu Jiao asked, "Brother Ming, why did it take so much effort to kill these two boys?"

Gao Zhiming dragged Liu Jiao and said, "Come in, I almost killed a good person!" ”

The two entered the house. Gao Zhiming introduced them one by one and reported their names, and Cai Wenlong and Ji Wenhu stepped forward to meet Liu Jiao. Gao Zhiming briefly said the matter to Liu Jiao, and said: "Let's be one step late, Lord Meng, who guards the heavens, has been killed by traitors and thrown into the Black Dragon Pool." Liu Jiao was taken aback when he heard this: "Oh, Brother Ming, since Master Meng died so badly, and several of Captain Li's friends are still in prison, we won't do anything, when will we wait?" ”

Liu Jiao, the flying dragon, heard that Meng Ranhao, the guardian of the heavens, was killed, and he wanted to make trouble in the exclusive city to avenge him. Gao Zhiming thought about it again and again, felt that it was inappropriate, and said, "Zhang Xin, Wang Qi and others have not been rescued yet." Wouldn't it be self-defeating for us to do something against them?"

Cai Wenlong said: "Brother Ming is reasonable, we should take into account the overall situation first, think more about the living, and try to keep them safe." ”

Liu Jiao felt justified and nodded. Gao Zhiming heard Cai and Ji: "You two just said that in order to get the seal of the Heavenly Patrol Guard, where is the Seal of the Heavenly Patrol?"

Gu Wenhu said: "In the treasure building. You can't go to that building, there are a lot of organs inside, and you will either be killed or injured if you encounter it. There are also many people in ambush there, and it is very difficult to enter. I heard that Huang Ba not only hid the seal of the Heavenly Patrol in the building, but also hid a lot of national treasures. ”

Gao Zhiming said: "Let's go, you two take me and Liu Jiao to have a look, I can't say everything about the news of the agency, and I know a little bit about it." If I can go into the building and take out the seal of the Heavenly Patrol, the two of us will not be here in vain tonight. ”

Cai and Ji agreed, and the four of them quietly left the practice building. Now Cai and Ji are more familiar with the Huang Mansion and led the way to Jubaolou. Gao Zhiming said to Cai and Ji: "In order to protect Zhang Xin and the others, and to make a good internal response, now I don't want to let the two of you reveal your identities, you two should leave here." ”

"Brother Ming, don't be careless."

The two walked away, but they didn't go back. They hid in the distance to observe the movement, and if something happened, they were ready to respond. Gao Zhiming asked Liu Jiao to patrol the wind again, and came to the west gate of the Jubao Building with a single knife in his hand, and pointed it up the five steps with a knife. Originally, he could jump up with an arrow, but he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he tried to go up step by step. He came to the door and looked, and there were two brass rings on the door. He took the knife with his hand, turned the brass ring with both hands, one to the left, the other to the right, twisted three buckles in a row, heard a movement, hurriedly flashed to the side, the door opened, swished, three arrows flew out. Fortunately, Gao Zhiming dodged away and was not shot. Gao Zhiming held a single knife in his hand, stared at the ground, and saw that the ground was paved with tiles. There are five kinds of flower tiles, there are plum blossoms, lotuses, chrysanthemums, peach blossoms, and apricot blossoms. Secretly thought: It seems that these five bricks have said! I looked up again, and there was a palace lamp on the ceiling. I watched it for a long time. I didn't see where the stairs on the second floor were, but I saw that there were many bright pillars in all directions, all of which were divided into gossip shapes. He walked into the door of the building, and used the tip of the knife to make a little chrysanthemum brick, and with a squeak, the brick moved, which startled Gao Zhiming, and he hurriedly withdrew the knife. I used a knife to put a little plum blossom brick down, but there was no movement, so I tried to step on it with my foot, but I didn't move. Needless to say, standing on top of the plum blossom bricks is fine.

Gao Zhiming stepped on the plum blossom brick and walked a few steps, stopped to look around, and wanted to drag the place upstairs. At this moment, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind him, he jumped forward, jumped onto another plum blossom brick, turned around, and saw a person with a single knife in his hand. Inside and outside the treasure building, there are all people hiding in the shadows. There are four gates on this floor. There are two big stone lions on the left and right of each gate, the stone lion is a tunnel below, there is news under the stone lion, the people inside move the news, the stone lion turns, revealing the exit, and the people hidden in the tunnel below come out. There is a secret sentry sentry room in the treasure building, and there are string bells in the sentry room, and the string bells lead to the tunnel under the stone lion outside the door. As soon as the bell was pulled in the sentry room, the soldiers in the tunnel knew that someone had come in the building, and as soon as they moved the news, they could surround the treasure building when they came out. There are people in the sentry room in the building who take turns on duty every day. The sentry house is in the board wall, because there are chandeliers in the layers, and the sentry house is dark, so you can see it very clearly when you look out from the small hole in the secret door.

It's the stone leopard on duty tonight. Shi Leopard paid attention when he heard the sound of the door, and when he saw only one person coming in, he hurriedly rushed out from behind the secret door, went around behind Gao Zhiming, and slashed at him with a single knife in his hand. Gao Zhiming watched the six roads with his eyes and listened to all directions, heard the wind behind him, jumped forward, turned around and started with the stone leopard. This battle is not easy for Gao Zhiming to fight, because there is news about the floor tiles, and he is not familiar with it. I only know that there is nothing wrong with stepping on plum blossom bricks, chrysanthemum bricks can't be stepped on, lotus bricks, peach blossom bricks and apricot bricks can be stepped on, he hasn't tried it.
