In Wucheng County, Pingzhou, Yanguo, in a manor, more than a dozen strong men stood quietly in the lobby, not squinting, as if they were waiting for someone.

This manor is located in the rich area of Wucheng County, is one of the three wealthy merchants in Wucheng County, the business is in the lofty manor, the whole manor is magnificent, rockery pond, everything, there is a horse farm for people to practice horses.

These more than ten strong men are very strong, their temples are bulging high, and in the crisp weather of October and autumn, they are still wearing thin suits, and they are also carrying a variety of weapons, including knives, swords, spears, and double axes.

There was a soft creak, and a small door in the lobby was opened, and two people walked out of the small door and came to the upper center of the lobby.

One of them was of medium stature, with a pockmarked face, and two swords hung from his waist on the left and right sides, and the hilts of both were sharpened so smooth that it was evident that he was often used by the owner of the sword.

The other person is tall, magnificent, and dignified, the only fly in the ointment is that there is a scar between the bridge of the nose, but this scar also gives this person a trace of fierceness.

This person stood with the person with pockmarked faces, looking even more handsome, holding a folding fan in his hand, shaking gently.

The pockmarked face is none other than Xiang Shaohu's right-hand man Xiang Yunzhong, and the other person is Jiang Qizheng, one of the bandit leaders.

The bandits are one of the important troops of Xiang Shaohu to collect money and train soldiers, with four leaders, and they are nicknamed the Four Heavenly Kings, namely Xiong Yongnian, the Brave Heavenly King, Zhan Zhicheng, the Cold-faced Heavenly King, the Iron-blooded Heavenly King Sai Ruici, and the white-faced Heavenly King Jiang Qizheng.

These four leaders are all wise and brave, and they are subordinates trained by Xiang Shaohu himself, and it took him a lot of effort.

Each of them has their own special ability, and they have managed one of the four states of Yan Kingdom.

Xiang Yunzhong sat in the first place in the lobby, while Jiang Qizheng sat in the second position in the lobby.

Xiang Yunzhong glanced at the people in the lobby, picked up the wine glass on the table in front of him, and raised the wine glass to everyone.

"First of all, thank you colleagues for coming, do it!"

After that, Xiang Yunzhong raised his head, drank all the spirits in the cup in one go, and after drinking, he turned the wine glass downwards and signaled that he had drunk it cleanly.

"!"

The rest of the people in the lobby also picked up the wine glass in front of them and drank it all.

Seeing that everyone had finished drinking, Xiang Yunzhong nodded with satisfaction, put down the wine glass, made a gesture of invitation to everyone, and said kindly: "Everyone sit down." ”

Everyone in the lobby put down their wine glasses, hugged Xiang Yunzhong, and sat down on the seats next to them.

The eighteen people in the lobby were all high-level bandits in Pingzhou, and each of them had at least fifty bandits in their hands, and everyone's hands were also stained with the blood of hundreds of people.

Xiang Yunzhong took out a letter from his cuff, handed it to Jiang Qizheng, turned around and said to everyone in the lobby: "Everyone, I am on the order of Lord Xiang to tell you that the plan is going on as usual, and I will let people give you the news of the target one after another." ”

"Now, you have to get everyone back together as soon as possible, because the last incident made us stop for a long time, and we lost a lot of income in terms of money, this time, Lord Xiang can't wait, everyone has to speed up."

Everyone looked at each other and didn't answer, but instead turned their eyes to their leader, Jiang Qizheng, waiting for his answer.

They didn't expect that it had only been two months since the last incident, and they were going to continue to act, you know, the rumors outside have not yet passed, and many bounty hunters are still looking for them to receive their rewards.

Jiang Qizheng took the letter, didn't pay attention to everyone's eyes, but opened the envelope first to confirm whether the news was really given by Xiang Shaohu.

Tsai carefully read the contents of the envelope, whether it was the notes or the tone, it was all written by Xiang Shaohu himself, and it was only written that he would continue to start the previous task, as for the reason, Xiang Shaohu did not explain.

Jiang Qizheng frowned slightly, he was also a little puzzled about this order, he didn't know why King Xiang was suddenly so anxious, but as Xiang Shaohu's subordinate, it was his duty to obey the order.

And he also believes that there must be a reason why King Xiang did this, as a disciple of Xiang Shaohu, he still knows something about his master Xiang Shaohu, and knows that the other party will not issue this kind of order to kill a thousand enemies and damage eight hundred for no reason, among them, there is definitely a secret that he can't know.

"Whew!"

With a long breath, Jiang Qizheng put away the envelope, clasped his fists at Xiang Yunzhong and said, "Brother Xiang, don't worry, since it is King Xiang's order, we will definitely do our best to do it." ”

"Good!"

Xiang Yunzhong saw Jiang Qizheng and the others' reactions, and understood their doubts and hesitations.

The current state of affairs, he also understands, since King Xiang issued a wanted warrant, the bandits have become rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, not only soldiers surround and suppress them, but also the martial arts sect is also searching for them, and the situation can be described as terrifying.

When he received this order, he was also puzzled, not understanding that Xiang Shaohu would give such an order, until Xiang Shaohu told him a news that shocked him very much.

Xiang Shaolong, the king of Yan Kingdom, is terminally ill, and his days are running out.

After getting this news, Xiang Yunzhong immediately understood why Xiang Shaohu gave such an order.

This is to accumulate money and train soldiers for the near future.

Retracting his thoughts, Xiang Yunzhong stood up, picked up the wine jug, refilled the wine for everyone in the lobby, and then returned to his place and filled his own wine glass.

Raising his glass, Xiang Yunzhong looked around at the people in the lobby and said loudly: "Everyone, for King Xiang, cheers!" ”

"!"

Everyone in the lobby also raised their glasses and drank them all.

......

In the back garden of the manor, Xiang Yunzhong and Jiang Qi were coming to the back of a rockery.

"Brother Xiang?"

Jiang Qizheng looked at Xiang Yunzhong with a puzzled expression, not knowing why Xiang Yunzhong brought him here after the meeting was over, what was the matter.

"Here, take a look, this is another letter, after reading it, destroy it directly, don't tell anyone else."

Xiang Yunzhong looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he took out a letter from his arms again and handed it to Jiang Qizheng.

Taking the letter suspiciously, Jiang Qizheng gently tore open the seal, and only glanced at it, which made Jiang Qizheng stunned and looked at Xiang Yunzhong in shock.

Facing Jiang Qizheng's shock, Xiang Yunzhong smiled slightly and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Jiang, do a good job, glory and wealth are close at hand." ”

The content of this letter is the news that Xiang Shaolong, the king of Yan Kingdom, is terminally ill.
