Chapter 58: Operation Wanjun (4)

When Liu Wanbao and the people of Yuxu Palace led the minions to rush into the walled gate, Wu Xinji also rushed into the mansion where Xing Bude lived with his cronies and dozens of minions. Although Xing Bude's few remaining soldiers were still desperately resisting under the leadership of Liu Xiaoliu, they were still unable to stop the footsteps of Wu Xinji's men under the disparity in numbers, and could only fight and retreat.

At this time, these pro-soldiers had retreated to a large empty field outside Xing Bude's inner house, which was where Xing Bude used to practice martial arts, and if they retreated, they would enter Xing Bude's inner house. In the inner house, it is the hiding place of Xing Bude and his wife and children, Liu Wanbao's wife and daughter, and Liu Wanbao's nephew Zuihou. Liu Xiaoliu and the only four remaining soldiers around him knew that they had no way to retreat, so they simply let go. They tried their best to rush into the pile of enemies and slash and kill, and actually forced the minions who had already rushed to the door of the inner house back for a distance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Xiaoliu and his soldiers gasped for breath, trying to recover a little physical strength. From the afternoon to now, they have been fighting with each other for more than two hours, and their physical strength has been seriously overdrawn, and they are all injured. I am not sure at all whether I can withstand the opponent's next charge.

Wu Xinji was very anxious when he saw that the minions attacking in front of him were actually not advancing but retreating. Now he already regretted that he was too impatient after learning that Liu Erxing had a secret conversation with Xing Bude, ignoring Shi Feibao's suggestion, and insisted on doing something to Liu Wanbao's family.

In fact, when the attack on Liu Wanbao's residential compound was first launched, the situation was not optimistic. The minions did not believe very much in what he announced, Liu Wanbao colluded with Yuxu Palace to kill the Wei family. Although he was forced to participate in the attack due to his position, he basically did not work hard, and relied on Wu Xinji's own personal soldiers to fight hard. And Liu Wanbao's righteous son Liu Xiaoliu and nephew Liu Erxing had already learned the truth about Liu Wanbao from Li Fu before, and they had long been prepared that once Liu Wanbao took the people from the Yuxu Palace up the mountain, Wu Xinji might make a fuss about his wife and daughter. The reason why Liu Erxing went to Xing Bude for a secret talk was also to hope that Xing Bude could help Liu Wanbao do this.

Therefore, when Wu Xinji brought people to arrest Liu Wanbao's family, Liu Xiaoliu relied on his good martial arts skills, and was stunned to take five of Liu Wanbao's relatives who had left behind before and later went up the mountain with Li Fu, and escorted his wife and daughter to Xing Bude's mansion safely. Xing Bude, on the other hand, chose to stand on Liu Wanbao's side, and also organized more than a dozen of his own personal soldiers and retinues to join the battle with Wu Xinji. If it weren't for Wu Xinjili's beheading of the two small leaders who fought passively, it would probably have been defeated by Liu and Xing, who were obviously inferior in numbers. But even so, the progress of Wu Xinji's side is quite slow, and now there are few of his personal soldiers to guard, and there has been no news from Ding Youchang's side, how can Wu Xinji not be in a hurry.

At this time, seeing that there are only four people around Liu Xiaoliu, as long as they kill them, the family members of the Xing and Liu families in the back house will be the meat on his Wu Xinji's chopping board. Therefore, Wu Xinji, who has always cherished his life and always lived in the rear in battle, also rushed to the front at this time, and instructed Wu Quanshi, the leader of his own soldiers with the highest martial arts skills and the greatest ability: "Wu Quanshi, slaughter that Liu Xiaoliu for your master, and the treasures and women in Xing Bude's house are all yours." ”

Wu Quanshi's kung fu is not much different from Liu Xiaoliu, because Liu Xiaoliu is famous in the cottage before, he is still a little jealous, and he has never fought directly with the other party. At this time, hearing that Wu Xinji had made such a big reward, his courage immediately grew, and he rushed forward with a wave of the ghost head knife in his hand, and the sound of shouting and killing sounded again in the martial arts arena.

Liu Xiaoliu was exhausted, and in the face of Wu Quanshi's crazy attack with sufficient physical strength, although he could barely parry, he was in danger and very dangerous. The soldiers he led were just about to come forward to help, but they were stopped by Wu Quanshi's men. After the two of them fought face to face, Liu Xiaoliu's strength was basically exhausted, and the knife in his hand felt heavier and heavier, and he was almost chopped by Wu Quanshi several times. Although he was dodged one by one, his movements were inevitably a little sluggish due to lack of physical strength, so after a few rounds, there were a few more wounds on his body.

The wounds weren't fatal for a while, but they were bleeding. As time went by, he lost too much blood, and Liu Xiaoliu began to feel top-heavy, and he didn't obey the call of a single knife. One didn't pay attention, his knife and Wu Quanshi's knife collided together, and he listened to "Bell!" With a sound, Liu Xiaoliu's single knife took off his hand and flew out of the distance before landing. Wu Quanshi saw that the time had come, so he took a sharp step, raised the knife in his body, and slashed it at Liu Xiaoliu's head.

Liu Xiaoliu lost his weapon and had no ability to fight back, so he had to shrink his neck and hide his head to the side. Wu Quanshi didn't let anyone do it, raised his knife and pressed in again and again, not giving the other party a chance to breathe. Liu Xiaoliusan dodged twice and dodged to the edge of the courtyard wall, and there was no way to retreat. Seeing that Wu Quanshi raised his knife to kill again, he was sure to die, so he simply closed his eyes and waited for death. At this time, he only felt a vicious wind coming, and then he listened to the "bell!" There was a crisp sound, and there was no movement, and I didn't feel like I was being cut.

Liu Xiaoliu, who was puzzled, opened his eyes and saw that the ghost head knife was still two or three inches above his head, but he was held up by a sword with cold light. No matter how hard Wu Quanshi wielded the knife, he just couldn't drop a single bit. The owner of the sword, a young Taoist priest, was looking at Wu Quanshi with a look of disdain at this time, as if he felt that his current behavior was ridiculous.

Wu Quanshi saw that Liliang couldn't defeat the Taoist priest in front of him, so he wanted to put away his sword and fight again. But before he could make the action of retracting the knife, the Taoist priest had already changed his moves. Taking advantage of the fact that his ghost-headed knife was about to be retracted and his strength weakened, the sword swept along the blade and went straight to his hand holding the knife. Wu Quanshi was taken aback, and it was too late to put away the knife, so he had to throw the knife away, and his body retreated sharply. After the Taoist priest ordered Wu Quanshi's blade to take off his hand, he did not stop moving, and the sword continued to move forward, pressing over like a shadow, aiming directly at Wu Quanshi's neck. Wu Quanshi was horrified in his heart, and he retreated faster, but he still couldn't get rid of the sword in the Taoist priest's hand. He took three or four steps back, but in the end he still couldn't escape, and was wiped on his neck by the Taoist priest's sword, and his head was in a different place. His head rose into the air, and blood sprayed everywhere, and even Wu Xinji was splashed with blood spots. ,

This sudden change stunned everyone present. Liu Xiaoliu, who escaped the catastrophe, was the first to react, and he didn't bother to express his gratitude to this Taoist priest, so he hurriedly took a few steps, picked up the single knife he had taken off again, and prepared to help his own soldiers. It turned out that he didn't need to bother at all, and the Taoist priest had already rushed over with his sword. In just a few faces, Wu Xinji's cronies all fell to the ground dead or injured.

In the screams of his subordinates, Wu Xinji finally came to his senses. Seeing that his cronies had almost been lost, and that the person who saved Liu Xiaoliu was a Taoist priest, he knew that Ding and Chang's actions might have failed. Liu Wanbao knew that he was going to be unfavorable to him, and he might have really descended the Taoist priests of the Jade Void Palace, and he was taking those Taoist priests to take revenge at this time. Not only have all my arrangements been in vain, but I am afraid that I will only worry about my life next. The only way to do this now is to kill this Taoist priest and Liu Xiaoliu, rush into Xing Bude's inner house, and use Liu Wanbao's family as a life amulet. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be angry, and shouted hoarsely to the minions behind him: "Little ones, let's go up together, slaughter this stinky cow nose and Liu Xiaoliu, and Wu Ye will be rewarded." ”

As a result, he shouted there for a long time, but none of the minions behind him rushed up. These minions are not stupid, Wu Quanshi, who has the strongest martial arts on their side, is not the opponent's general, isn't he sent to death if he goes up by himself. Although there are many people, no one wants to rush to the front to be cannon fodder, and they all want to wait for others to rush up and entangle the Taoist priest before they go up. Therefore, although Wu Xinji's reward is getting higher and higher, the minions are just shouting vigorously, and there is no actual action.

Wu Xinji knew that he couldn't do it without extraordinary means, so he dragged a minion and said viciously: "Hurry up, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you." Where did the soldier dare to go up, he made two strokes with his sword, and shouted nonsense in his mouth, but he did not go forward at all. Seeing this, Wu Xinji stepped forward and kicked it over, raised his knife and slashed down. But as soon as the sword fell halfway, it was blocked by the Taoist priest with his sword. As soon as Wu Xinji wanted to change his move, he was pushed up by the Taoist priest with a sword, and the huge force made his arm involuntarily raise up, revealing a gap, and the Taoist priest kicked him on the chest, kicking him out two or three feet away, and slammed into the wall.

This hit Wu Xinji's eyes with gold stars, only to feel that his throat was sweet, and he opened his mouth, "Wow!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he collapsed to the ground. The Taoist priest did not let him go, and as soon as he jumped to his side, he raised the sword in his hand and was about to stab him. At this time, I heard a shout from behind the minions: "Leave people under the long sword of Qingchen Dao!" Everyone present followed the sound and saw Liu Wanbao, the second leader of the Five Tiger Village, leading several Taoist priests and leading a large group of minions to break in from the courtyard in front.

Although Qingchen was unwilling, he still stopped the sword in his hand and cast an inquiring glance at Liu Wanbao, wanting to understand that this Liu Er's weishenme would not let him kill this Wu Xinji.

Liu Wanbao came to Qingchen and looked at Wu Xinji, who was lying on the ground, dying, and his heart was really mixed, and he had all kinds of tastes. After calming down for a while, he turned around and explained to Qingchen next to him: "Don't misunderstand Qingchen Daoist, Liu didn't let Daoist kill him not to appease him, but planned to make his crime public first, and then deal with it in public." ”

Qingchen was relieved when he heard him say this, nodded and put the sword into the sheath, and stood behind Zhang Weixin and the others who arrived later. And Zhang Weixin and others also expressed their understanding of Liu Wanbao's behavior and did not interfere with his decision.

Liu Wanbao first ordered his subordinates to take good care of Wu Xinji and Shi Feibao, who was pulled out of the crowd, and then came to Yizi and the few remaining cronies to inquire about their injuries and the situation of their families. I was relieved to learn that their injuries were not too serious and that their families were safe and sound. Then he turned to the minions brought by Wu Xinji and said, "Brothers, don't panic. As long as you don't resist, I, Liu Wanbao, promise that your life will not be in danger. Liu wants to go to the hospital to meet with Fourth Brother Xing, and after he comes out, he will give you an explanation, hoping that you can believe Liu. ”

After speaking, he hugged his fists and bowed his hand. Seeing that although everyone was suspicious, they still threw the weapons in their hands on the ground, and then they were relieved to enter Xing Bude's back house under the leadership of Liu Xiaoliu.

In Xing Bude's bedroom, Liu Wanbao's wife and daughter couldn't help but cry with joy when they saw their relatives come back safe and sound. Liu Wanbao comforted them a few words, asked Xing Bude's wife to take them to the next room to wait for the time being, and went straight to Xing Bude's bedside.

Seeing his second brother appear in front of him intact, Xing Bude's heart that had been hanging finally let go. It's just that his face is still very pale, and when he communicates with Liu Wanbao about what happened, his voice is also very weak, and he looks like time is running out. Liu Wanbao saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, he knew that Xing Bude was only afraid of his life.

In fact, before Liu Wanbao and the others went down the mountain, although Xing Bude's body was also very weak, after this period of careful recuperation, he was much better than when he was first injured. He gradually gained confidence in speaking, and his face became ruddy. And now it has suddenly deteriorated, firstly, because after Wu Xinji began to attack his house, Xing Bude once questioned Wu Xinji in person. As a result, he was beaten by Wu Xinji, accusing him and Liu Wanbao of conspiring to collude with the Taoist priests of Yuxu Palace to kill the Wei master in order to compete for the position of the lord of the village. Xing Bude was furious when he heard this, and vomited blood on the spot. Second, I am afraid that it is also related to the excessive grief and extreme depression after learning of the death of my eldest brother. In addition, Liu Wanbao, as the second leader of the cottage, not only did not avenge his eldest brother, but instead submitted to the other party, which made him discouraged, and his condition naturally became more and more serious.

Seeing his good brother sick like this, Liu Wanbao felt even more guilty. Fortunately, after listening to Liu Wanbao's explanation of the reason for returning to the Yuxu Palace, Xing Bude also expressed his understanding, and did not look down on his second brother who endured humiliation and burden, which made Liu Wanbao's heart feel a little better.

The two chatted for a while, and Xing Bude, whose thinking gradually became clearer, reminded Liu Wanbao that he should be more careful when cooperating with the Taoist priests of Yuxu Palace, and he must not completely give up the right to participate in the management of the cottage in order to show his loyalty. Instead, he should show his abilities as much as possible, so that those Taoist priests feel that his presence is necessary, which is conducive to their more effective control of the cottage. At the same time, it should not be done too much, so as not to make those Taoist priests think that he Liu Er's family not only cannot help them manage the cottage, but may use his original identity to pose a threat to them and have to be eradicated. ,

Liu Wanbao knew that Xing Bude was the most flexible of the five brothers, so he naturally agreed to his suggestions. Seeing that the time was almost up, and after instructing his brother to have a good rest, he left Xing Bude's room, came to the door of the back house, and brought all the minions gathered here to the empty field in front of the Gathering Hall.

Liu Wanbao stood on the steps of the Juyi Hall, facing nearly 300 minions, and recounted in detail the reasons for what had happened in the past two days. The minions who had already known about the situation before did not react, and the minions who did not know the situation before were inevitably surprised, and there was a whispering sound in the team. However, under the soft rebuke of the leaders at all levels, it quickly subsided.

After the minions quieted down, Liu Wanbao said: "Brothers, Liu knows that some of you don't think much of Liu's approach. thinks that Liu is greedy for life and afraid of death, and for the sake of his personal net worth and life, instead of avenging the Wei family, he bows down to the so-called enemy. It's human nature for you to think so, and Liu won't blame you.

However, there is something I want to tell you that the reason why Liu returned to the Yuxu Palace was not to save his life, but for the sake of those of you brothers who did not throw their lives in the Yuxu Palace, in order to save your lives, and at the same time, to save the lives of Liu's family. You have also seen what Wu Xinji did today, if Liu did not return to the Yuxu Palace, but lost his life in vain in order to avenge the Wei family, then Xing Si's family and Liu's family would have become his Wu Xinji's ghosts long ago.

As for saying that Liu did this to save everyone's lives, you may not believe it. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, time can prove everything, and those few brothers who are immortal in the Jade Void Palace can prove everything. One day, you will understand Liu's painstaking efforts. Below, please Zhang Daochang of the Jade Void Palace. ”

After speaking, Liu Wanbao stepped aside, introduced the people of the Yuxu Palace to the minions, and then stretched out his hand to ask Zhang Weixin to speak. Zhang Weixin did not shirk, walked to the steps, glanced at the minions below, and said loudly in the eyes of the minions or fear, anger, or suspicion: "Brothers, Zhang Weixin, a poor Taoist, is a Taoist priest of Yuxu Palace in Baojin Mountain. This time, because Wei Caisi, the original master of the cottage, attacked my Yuxu Palace for no reason, Poor Dao and all the brothers had no choice but to take the lives of Wei Caisi and his two hundred minions. The poor Dao and all the brothers are all cultivators, and they don't want to kill more, so this time they are also for self-preservation. Later, in order to avoid the Yuxu Palace and the Five Tigers Village from falling into the situation of revenge, the poor Dao and the brothers had some exchanges with Liu Er, and finally reached a consensus and decided that the two sides would turn the war into jade silk. From now on, Yuxu Palace and Wuhu Village will be merged into one and become a family. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Weixin paused slightly, observed the reaction of the minions below, and found that although the minions did not fully believe in these words, they did not show too much radicality, and it seemed that there should not be much resistance to completing the integration of these minions, so he continued: "Just now Liu Er's family said that he returned to the Yuxu Palace for the lives of all the brothers, which is indeed true. However, Poor Dao thinks that it is a bit inappropriate to say that it is a little inappropriate, or that it is more appropriate to say that it is merged. Maybe some brothers don't believe in Poor Dao or Liu Er's words, it doesn't matter, you just need to ask the brothers who were lucky enough to save their lives in the battle of Yuxu Palace, and you will naturally understand Liu Er's hard work. Poor Dao can give the brothers another chance here, if any of the brothers do not agree to the merger, and still want to avenge Wei Caisi, they can stand up now. As long as you can win against the poor Dao's dust-clearing master and nephew, you can come to the poor Dao for revenge, and the poor Dao can fight with you alone, and will never win with more. ”

After speaking, Zhang Weixin glanced at the minions below again. As a result, wherever he looked over, none of the minions dared to look at him, and they all lowered their heads. These minions are not stupid, those who participated in the sneak attack and knew the foundation of the Jade Void Palace have long lost the heart to resist. Those who don't know the root have also seen the ability of the Taoist priest named Qingchen, not to mention that one person goes to fight him, even if he pulls out ten or eight to go together, he is not anyone's opponent. If you go out now, you're not looking for death. Besides, this cottage is not his own foundation, he is just to eat to eat well, Liu Er's family is bowed down, what can he do. No matter who is in charge, he will not lose a piece of meat, and whoever he does is not the same.

Therefore, Zhang Weixin waited for a long time and no one came out, so he nodded and said in a deep voice: "It seems that all the brothers have no opinions, then everyone will be a family in the future." However, there is an ugly saying to be said in front of the poor road. Since all the brothers have approved of the merger and given up the opportunity to avenge Wei Caisi, they must contribute to the development of Shanzhai wholeheartedly in the future. If anyone agrees on the surface, but behind the scenes half-heartedly and deliberately plots against the contrary, then don't blame the poor for being unkind. Do you understand everything? ”

Seeing the grim expression on the face of Daochang Zhang, who was still pleasant just now, the minions below couldn't help but sudden, and then hurriedly replied loudly, "I heard clearly", for fear that the voice of the answer would be too small to make Dao Ye unhappy.

Zhang Weixin was very satisfied with the answer of the minions, his face looked much better, and when he looked up to see that the sky was already dark, he waved his hand and said, "Since you have heard it clearly, then it is good to do it." Poor Dao can assure you here that as long as you work hard, you will definitely live a better life in the future than before. Okay, it's not too early, let's go to dinner. Assemble here tomorrow morning by three o'clock, and remember that Poor Road doesn't want anyone to be late. ”

The minions, led by the big and small leaders, scattered to their quarters and prepared for dinner. Zhang Weixin and others returned to his residence with Liu Wanbao. According to the prior arrangement, the people of Yuxu Palace will temporarily live in Liu Wanbao's mansion for the past few days, and then move in after cleaning up the idle Wu Xinqing's mansion. In addition, Wu Xinji, Shi Feibao and the few remaining cronies were also brought here, and Liu Xiaoliu took people to take care of them, ready to deal with them in public tomorrow, while several of his wives and concubines are still temporarily living in his original mansion and will be dealt with in the future.

Liu Wanbao's house is the same as Xing Bude's, it is a small three-entry courtyard, and Zhang Weixin and others were arranged in the three main rooms of the second courtyard. After having dinner with Liu Wanbao and his family, they discussed with Liu Wanbao how to deal with Wu Xinji and the others the next day, and then returned to their rooms.

Entering the room, Qingchen and Zeng Zhilin stood by the main door, paying attention to the movement outside. The others went into the inner room, set up the radio station they had brought, installed the batteries, and prepared to talk to the Jade Void Palace.

Tang Chao turned on the power, and after debugging it a few times, he called into the microphone: "Wanjun group calls the base, Wanjun group calls the base." Hear please answer, hear please answer. ”

After a while, Wang Kunjun's voice came from the earphones: "The base receives, the base receives." Please report your situation, please report your situation. ”

Zhang Weixin took the microphone and told Wang Kunjun what happened after leaving the Yuxu Palace. He said that Jihua is going very smoothly, and if nothing happens, it will be possible to achieve a relatively smooth reception of the remaining minions of Wuhu Village. After completing the registration of all the bosses and minions, the other committee members can come to the cottage at the right time to show their faces, so that the minions can have a general understanding of the leadership of the Jade Void Palace, so as to facilitate future management.

Wang Kunjun expressed his gratitude to the members of the Wanjun team for their hard work, congratulated them on their phased victory of the "Wanjun Operation", and looked forward to the day when the action team met in Wuhuzhai. In addition, they were also informed that Liang Ziyue and Cheng Fei would rush to Wuhu Village by noon tomorrow. At the same time, it also reminds them not to be careless, must pay attention to safety, and must not be blindly optimistic.

After the call, Zhang Weixin and the others discussed how to deal with the situation of not gathering on time the next day, and then went to bed. Of course, in addition to Zhang Weixin, members of the dust cleaning and security teams will participate in night duty
