Chapter 6: The Gathering of Thieves
Wang Zhaoxi?
Su Ming was very familiar with this name, he was the son of Wang Jiayin, the leader of the green forest in northern Shaanxi, and later joined the rebel army and became a member of Li Zicheng's rebel army.
Although Wang Zhaoxi is only a supporting role, he is more brilliant than the protagonist Zhuo Yihang, just like the sentence mentioned in the article, "The son's confession is hateful, and the hero is most concerned about serving the country." ”
Zhuo Yihang is trapped by love and can only be called a son-in-law, but Wang Zhaoxi is worried about the country and the people, and can be called a hero.
Wang Zhaoxi came to northern Shaanxi this time to send a lot of money to the Shaanxi giant thief Jade Rakshasa on behalf of his father, and asked for an alliance.
Seeing Wang Zhaoxi, Su Ming said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Wang, if you hadn't handed over the long sword to me just now, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of the two of them now." ”
Wang Zhaoxi laughed and said, "Brother doesn't have to mind, it's just a gesture." ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhaoxi asked again: "I don't know where Brother Tai is going, why don't we go together?" ”
Su Ming looked at Wang Zhaoxi and said with a smile: "If I go with Brother Wang, I will be found by Jinyiwei and bandits." ”
Wang Zhaoxi brought a heavy treasure to visit the Jade Rakshasa this time, attracting Jinyiwei and five gangs of thieves, if he didn't mix with Zhuo Zhonglian, Jinyiwei would not be able to pass that level, if he acted with him, then it would be inevitable to get into trouble.
When Wang Zhaoxi heard Su Ming's words, his expression changed, he looked at Su Ming, frowned and asked, "Do you know who I am?" ”
Su Ming said with a smile: "The son of Wang Jiayin, the leader of the green forest in southern Shaanxi, brought a lot of money to visit the Jade Rakshasa this time, and wanted to form an alliance with the Jade Rakshasa , but he was found by the Jinyi Wei and the giant thief, the Jinyi Wei people want to arrest you, and the giant thief wants to seize your heavy treasure, it seems that Brother Wang's life is very difficult." ”
Wang Zhaoxi looked at Su Ming and asked coldly, "Who is Your Excellency?" Could it be that I came for the treasure on my body? ”
Su Ming waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in money and property, I just happened to pass by here, and I was rescued by Brother Wang just now, so although Brother Wang may be in trouble next, I am also willing to help Brother Wang and help you give the treasure to the Jade Rakshasa below." ”
Su Ming thought very simply, you helped me and saved my life, I naturally can't sit idly by, even if you help me with a purpose, I have to repay your kindness.
But when Wang Zhaoxi heard this, he hesitated, he knew why he came and how much danger he would encounter, but he was still willing to help himself, which made Wang Zhaoxi a little suspicious of his purpose.
Su Ming looked at Wang Zhaoxi and asked, "But if Brother Wang doesn't need help from Xiaxia, he can leave at any time." ”
Hearing Su Ming's words, Wang Zhaoxi thought of Jinyiwei and the five gang of thieves, hesitated for a while, looked at Su Ming and said, "It is difficult to send the treasure to the Jade Rakshasa alone, and I ask Brother Su to help." If it is successfully delivered, it will be rewarded with a lot of money. ”
Su Ming said with a smile: "I'm not interested in money, I'm only interested in swordsmanship and martial arts, if Brother Wang insists on repaying it, then it's better to give me this sword." ”
Su Ming looked at the sword in his hand, the cold light was cold, the blade was sharp, it was really a good sword, and he couldn't put it down.
Wang Zhaoxi nodded and said, "Okay, the sword is given to the hero, and I will give this sword to you, Brother Su." And if it can be successfully delivered, I am giving Brother Su a sword technique. ”
"Swordsmanship?" Su Ming looked at Wang Zhaoxi with some surprise.
Wang Zhaoxi said with a smile: "That's right, the Cloud Sword Technique, I don't know if Brother Su has ever heard of it?" ”
Cloud swordsmanship?
Su Ming naturally heard that this sword technique has appeared in at least ten books in Liang Yusheng's novels, and more than twenty characters have used it, although it is a popular sword technique, it is also extremely exquisite.
The characteristics of the cloud swordsmanship are that it is light and swift, and the subtlety lies in the sound of the east and the west, avoiding the real and the virtual, erratic, pointing to the east and the west, which is a very powerful swordsmanship.
Su Ming was a little surprised that he would teach himself a swordsmanship, and said with a smile: "I have a lot of yearning for the cloud swordsmanship, and I will definitely do my best to help Brother Wang deliver." ”
After receiving Su Ming's reply, Wang Zhaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, he wanted Su Ming's help, but he was also a little relieved, afraid that he would not be able to work, so he had no worries when he put forward this condition.
Su Ming put away the long sword, went over to lead Zhou Tong's horse, and after riding the horse, he and Wang Zhaoxi walked forward.
The two rode their horses and whipped up, chatting while walking, and chatted happily.
After a while, a convoy appeared in front of him, and Wang Zhaoxi said: "It is the convoy of Zhuo Zhonglian, the former governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, let's keep up, so that we can use his name to resist the people of the government." ”
Su Ming naturally would not refuse, the two followed the team, Wang Zhaoxi proposed to go along, Zhuo Zhonglian thought that the two were just students on a study tour, he was kind in his heart and agreed to the request of the two.
The two followed the convoy, and after two days, they passed Qiangning and arrived at Yangping Pass.
In the evening, the convoy stopped in front of the largest inn in Zhenshan, everyone dismounted and entered the inn to stay, Wang Zhaoxi found Zhuo Zhonglian, bluntly said that his enemy would arrive tonight, and hoped that the old man Zhuo would hang the lantern of the governor of Yungui.
Zhuo Zhonglian wanted to refuse, but Geng Shaonan, a disciple of the Wudang faction who accompanied him to protect Zhuo Zhonglian, had already expected this and asked people to raise the lantern.
At night, Su Ming and Wang Zhaoxi sat in the flower hall, let Zhuo Zhonglian return to the room, and the two waited quietly.
Not long after, four big men walked in from outside the door, and the man led by him saw Wang Zhaoxi and shouted loudly: "Brother, your incident has happened, come back with us." ”
These four people are Jinyiwei's men, tracking Wang Zhaoxi here, wanting to arrest him back, and the person who spoke was Shi Hao, the little leader of Jinyiwei.
Wang Zhaoxi pretended to be puzzled and said, "Who is Your Excellency?" And why? ”
Shi Hao snorted, and just wanted to speak, when he saw the lantern with the words 'Governor of Yungui' hanging on the wing room not far away, his face changed, and he shouted: "You are not ......"
Wang Zhaoxi stood up and said, "Everyone, the junior brother is doing darts for the first time, please make it convenient." ”
Shi Hao's face was ugly, and he said, "We are not bandits. ”
When the words fell, he rushed towards the far wing, but as soon as he pushed open the door, he was blocked by Geng Shaonan, a disciple of the Wudang faction, and the two slapped each other, no matter how high or low, they didn't dare to underestimate each other.
And the next moment, Zhuo Zhonglian came out of the wing, Shi Hao saw him, recognized it as the outgoing governor of Yungui, and immediately thought that he had arrested the wrong person, exchanged a few words with Zhuo Zhonglian, and left directly.
After seeing Jinyiwei's men leave, Wang Zhaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, but Geng Shaonan came to the flower hall, looked at Wang Zhaoxi, and said with a sneer: "Your Excellency is really calculating, borrowing the reputation of Mr. Zhuo to avoid the people of the government. ”
Wang Zhaoxi hurriedly said: "I have to do it as a last resort, and I also ask my brother to atone for his sins." ”
Geng Shaonan's eyes flickered, and he said, "You dare to tease my Wudang disciple." ”
When the words fell, Geng Shaonan slapped Wang Zhaoxi with a palm, but before the palm arrived, a cold light bloomed, and he arrived in front of Geng Shaonan in the blink of an eye.
Geng Shaonan's face changed, and he hurriedly dodged, and with a snort, the clothes on his shoulders were pierced, revealing the skin inside.
Geng Shaonan had palpitations, and looked at the attacker with a sad face, it was Su Ming who was following Wang Zhaoxi, who said with a smile: "Brother Geng, let's not do it first, the strong enemy has arrived, let's imagine how to send them." ”
When Geng Shaonan heard this, he listened attentively, and there was a faint whistling sound in the distance, and dense footsteps were approaching.
"What the hell are you doing? Gone and came again. Geng Shaonan's face was ugly, and he glared at Wang Zhaoxi.
Wang Zhaoxi said with a wry smile: "They are five groups of thieves on the border of Sichuan and Shaanxi, this time they are here for the treasures on their brothers' bodies, and they also ask Brother Geng to help, as long as they say the name of the brother Wudang faction, these people will definitely know the difficulties and retreat." ”
The Wudang faction is the largest faction in the world, the head of the Ziyang Dao is the first in the world in martial arts, and the people in the rivers and lakes have to give a few thin noodles, Wang Zhaoxi wants to borrow the name of Wudang to let himself survive this catastrophe.
Geng Shaonan knew that he and the two of them were already tied together, so he could only agree to Wang Zhaoxi's method, put down the lantern of the governor of Yungui, and entered the house according to Wang Zhaoxi's instructions.
Just when there were only two people left in the flower hall, the door was pushed open, and a group of people poured into the flower hall.
The three helmsmen of the Longmen Gang, the Fang brothers of the Black Tiger Rock of Daba Mountain, the three heroes of the Dingjun Shangmai Clan, and the surrounding minions, the entire flower hall was crowded with people.
Seeing these people, Su Ming held the long sword in his hand, although it was said that there were twists and turns in the original book, and in the end, he did not encounter any danger.
But as long as one of the stages goes wrong, then you can only doom yourself.
Su Ming didn't dare to slack off, and looked coldly at the people in front of him, Wang Zhaoxi was also a little nervous on the side, staring at these people in front of him, and didn't dare to relax for a moment.
At this moment, Mai Yingchun, the eldest of the three male members of the Mai family, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Boy, there is really yours, where is your treasure hidden, hand over your treasure." ”
Wang Zhaoxi laughed and said, "Boss Mai, you are also an old man, can't you even see this?" You don't need a party leader, you've already lost a move. ”
Tu Jingxiong, the chief helmsman of the Longmen Gang, laughed and said, "Okay, brother, we can't guess where it is, you take out the treasure and let us take a look, let's make friends." ”
Hearing his words, Wang Zhaoxi walked to the wall, picked up the saddle, put it on the table, and gestured towards Su Ming.
Su Ming held a long sword, and after the paint on the outside was cut off, the red gold inside was revealed, and there were more than ten miles of Mao'er Orb on it, which looked extremely precious.
All the heroes of the green forest looked at each other, and they were all a little coveted, but there is a rule in the green forest of Sichuan and Shaanxi, if you don't know where the treasure is, then you can't rob the property.
Mai Yingchun said: "You can do it, we admit it, let's go." ”
But just as Mai Yingchun walked to the door, a figure flashed outside, and a short and fat old man came in, shouting: "You can't see it, I can see it, I already knew that this gold was in the saddle, hand it over, I will spare your life." ”
Seeing the comer, Wang Zhaoxi sank into the water and whispered: "This is Shao Xuan, a lone thief in southern Shaanxi." ”
