Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Thief Commits the Crime
"Humph!" With a cold snort, Shang Xiuxun, who was dressed in a strong suit, walked up to Shen Chengping and looked at him coldly, his eyes full of anger.
"The night is long, and the owner of the mall is so elegant, could it be that he is here to admire the moon?"
Shang Xiuxun snorted coldly, glared at Shen Chengping, and said forcibly: "I'm just here to let that hateful old man get out of here, not to mention that I didn't abide by the agreement, and actually colluded with you, a disciple!" ”
"Dengzi? It's a little better than the title of a thief, and it seems that I have to thank the mall owner for his magnanimity! Shen Chengping's eyes were firmly fixed on Shang Xiuxun, but it made her undetectable body tremble, and secretly said that this disciple did not change his life, and he dared to tease himself like this, but he didn't know why, Shang Xiuxun didn't have a trace of anger in his heart, but had a faint joy in his heart.
With Shen Chengping's shrewdness, he naturally saw Shang Xiuxun's reaction a long time ago, but he didn't continue to tease, but continued to stare at Shang Xiuxun and said: "I see that there are a lot of guests from the ranch recently, and the number of thieves gathered near Jingling has also increased greatly, so the main thing in the mall is to be careful!" ”
Shang Xiuxun was a little flustered by Shen Chengping's staring, and said, "I don't need you to worry about my affairs!" "Then turn around and leave.
Shen Chengping didn't continue to say anything, under the moonlight, the back of the girl leaving actually had some meaning of running away.
The development of the next few days, as reminded by Shen Chengping, the situation in the vicinity has not been peaceful recently, with the recent crusade of Longhumen against other forces in the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with the increase in the action of cleaning up the thieves, more and more thieves have gathered around Jingling, and the soldiers of the ranch have also changed from the beginning of the clean-up to stubbornly, as for the agreement with Jingling to help each other, now they are all taking care of themselves, and it is naturally useless, but the external situation is not good, and the forces of all parties are abnormally sending people to Pegasus Ranch, Nominally, it is to talk about business, but in fact, it is a matter of different means, wanting to take advantage of the situation to subdue Pegasus Ranch, but I didn't expect Shang Xiuxun to be a stubborn character, at this time he still adheres to the ancestral precepts of Pegasus Ranch, and does not want to be involved in the competition of the world's heroes.
"The situation on the ranch is not good these days!" That night, after the treatment was completed, Lu Miaozi said to Shen Chengping: "I'm afraid there are nearly 100,000 thieves gathered around, and among them, the four major thieves are already eyeing the ranch!" ”
"No matter how many people there are, they are just a rabble, and with the terrain of the Pegasus Ranch, it may not be difficult for the 100,000 soldiers to break through the ranch, and those thieves are probably far behind!" Shen Chengping said.
"Even if you can resist it, the loss will never be small!" Lu Miaozi sighed, glared at Shen Chengping again, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that your Dragon Tiger Gate's movements were too big, but you couldn't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, how could these thieves gather here in the ranch!" ”
"Hehe, since we Longhumen control the place, we naturally have to ensure that our territory is quiet, these thieves are highly mobile, and the time for Longhumen to base themselves in Jiangnan is still a little shorter after all, and there are successive battles, and the troops are insufficient, so it is not my intention to let them flee here, now don't say that I don't have enough troops to help, even if I really send troops, I'm afraid Jingling and the ranch will not welcome it!" Shen Chengping, the person who pushed behind the scenes, said nonsense without changing his face, these thieves really have nothing to do with Shen Chengping, but the fundamental reason why they came here is the various general trends created by Shen Chengping.
"I think you're just pretending, but you just want to wait for the ranch to be unbearable before you make a move, I don't believe you don't know how much a good horse farm will play for you who are about to control the middle and lower reaches of Jiangnan!" Although Lu Miaozi didn't see that the current situation was deliberately created by Shen Chengping, he also knew that Shen Chengping did not seem to have any intentions for Pegasus Ranch.
"Haha, senior Lu......" Just as Shen Chengping was speaking, a sharp bell came, waking up the sleeping people in the entire mansion, after the bell, the chaotic footsteps kept coming, and the noisy sound was also alarmed on the back mountain, Lu Miaozifu heard this bell, his face couldn't help but change, and he said in a deep voice: "Someone attacked the ranch!" ”
Shen Chengping said: "I think it's just in these few days, after all, there are a lot of these thieves, and the amount of grain and grass consumed by people eating horses and chewing is not a small amount, and it is impossible for these thieves to have much grain in stock!" ”
Lu Miaozi nodded and said: "I'm afraid the situation in the ranch is not good these days, but Xiuxun doesn't want to see the old man, boy, if you can help Xiuxun, what you have been asking for, I will promise you!" ”
Hearing Lu Miaozi say this, Shen Chengping was overjoyed, helping Shang Xiuxun to defend against the enemy was originally within his plan, but he didn't expect Lu Miaozi to let Shen Chengping make a move on the condition of joining the Dragon Tiger Gate, which is definitely a good thing for Shen Chengping to kill two birds with one stone, nodded immediately, and said: "With the words of Senior Lu, I will naturally do my best!" ”
"Then you don't want to go quickly!" Lu Miaozi urged directly.
Shen Chengping knew that Lu Miaozi was anxious, so he didn't say much, and quickly left the back mountain, and it didn't take long for him to come to the meeting hall of Pegasus Ranch, but he saw Shang Xiuxun dressed in a military uniform, his face was as calm as water, Li Xiuning, who came here a few days ago, was also wearing a military uniform, and the two generals behind him were also wearing armor.
Seeing Shen Chengping, Shang Xiuxun was a little unnatural, and said, "You're here too!" ”
"Well, I have never thanked the owner of the field for the Wanwan thing, and I have been here for so many days, thanks to my care, I naturally have to help at this time!"
A hint of joy flashed in Shang Xiuxun's eyes, but he snorted coldly and said, "What can you do alone!?" Because Wan Wan was close, she was already in the hall, and when she saw Shen Chengping coming, she naturally stepped forward and held his hand, Yun Yuzhen and Zhenzhen were dressed in samurai uniforms, and when they saw Shen Chengping, they also surrounded him.
Shen Chengping saw that most of the deacons beside Shang Xiuxun in the ranch were there, and Wan Wan told Shen Chengping about the information he had just gotten: "There is a beacon fire in the west of the city, and there are a large number of enemies attacking!" ”
"Report!" An elongated voice came, and a man dressed as a general ran in, and after saluting Shang Xiuxun, he hurriedly said: "The four levels of the East and West Gorges have been breached!" ”
When everyone heard this, Shang Xiuxun's face sank, this Pegasus Ranch is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is difficult to overcome two levels, even if it takes advantage of the sneak attack, it is not simple, and the number of Pegasus Ranch is far less than that of thieves, and the only thing that can be relied on is the location, at this time, everyone knows that the situation is not good.
"The enemy is unknown, and the number is not tens of thousands!" The family will say.
Shang Xiuxun's face sank, and he shouted: "Follow me to the city gate!" After that, he walked towards the door with the deacon, and Li Xiuning said: "Xiuxun, I still have a hundred soldiers, if you need Xiuxun, you can use it!" Shang Xiuxun nodded and walked out.
