Chapter Twenty-Three: The Despicable Beggar Elders (Two Watches)
Ling Chen asked Li Yanzong to stay and dispose of the bodies of Quan Guanqing and the others before going to find rescuers, and he was responsible for luring away the Great Song reinforcements, which was actually not a reckless move. He observed the border between Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, and found that there were steep cliffs on both sides, and perhaps he was still a little worried about facing these reinforcements on horseback on the flat road. But Ling Chen, who had learned Ling Bo's microsteps, relied on these cliffs and was confident enough to be able to throw away the people who pursued him.
Sure enough, as Ling Chen and Li Yanzong expected, the reinforcements from the beggar gang who came on horseback were really recognizable from the way they were dressed Ling Chen, although several of them were wearing clean clothes, but there were cloth bags around their waists, so their identities were still very easy to identify.
When Ling Chen found this group of beggars on horseback, these members of the beggar gang naturally also discovered Ling Chen.
Since Ling Chen was wearing the armor of a Western Xia soldier at this moment, these beggars did not hesitate at all, and waved the weapons in their hands towards Ling Chen, "Hurry up, there is a Western Xia soldier here, kill him!" ”
"Hehe, it's exactly as I guessed, these idiots!" Looking at the members of the beggar gang who attacked him, Ling Chen smiled instead of being angry, and began to lead the group of beggar members towards a remote path with a single force.
"Don't let this Xixia dog thief run away, brothers, chase!" Seeing Ling Chen running towards the path, the man in white who led the way also immediately shouted to the beggar gang disciples behind, and immediately the team of dozens of people was all taken to the path by Ling Chen.
Due to the rough nature of the path, the speed at which the beggars rode their horses was cut down, and it wasn't even as fast as they usually walked! Seeing that the distance between him and Ling Chen was getting farther and farther away, the man in white who led the way was also in a hurry, beckoning the beggar disciples to dismount one after another and chase after Ling Chen on foot.
"Abandon the horse and chase me, then I'll have enough fun with you!" Regarding this behavior of this group of beggars helping disciples get off their horses and chase after him, Ling Chen smiled coldly, and had another plan in his heart.
I saw that Ling Chen maintained a speed that was neither fast nor slow to bring this group of beggar disciples towards the depths of the path, because Ling Chen deliberately maintained his speed at this moment, causing this group of beggar disciples to not be able to catch up with Ling Chen, but they could see Ling Chen's figure, and they were really unwilling to give up, so they had to run to the depths without caring for it, and slowly even they didn't know where they had run!
After completely dizzying this group of beggar disciples, Ling Chen also smiled proudly, and when he took out his Ling Bo microstep, he quickly shook them off and ran towards the place where they had dismounted before.
When Ling Chen returned to his original place, the horses of the beggar disciples were still leisurely grazing in the distance.
"Hehe, if you want to abandon the horse, then you can slowly walk back to the Great Song Dynasty!" Ling Chen showed a wicked smile on his face, and then slapped these horses with a few random palms, causing them to run towards different places in fright, while he himself chose the best one, took off the armor of the Western Xia soldiers, and rode leisurely towards the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
After having a horse to travel, Ling Chen's driving speed increased a lot, and he had already entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty that afternoon, found an inn to live in at random, and was ready to take a good rest, but the trouble he didn't expect was quietly finding him.
Just as Ling Chen was having dinner in this inn, there was a noisy sound outside the door, and then he saw several beggar disciples and a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing walking into the inn.
"Elder Bai, it's him, he's the one riding the black horse!" One of the beggar disciples pointed at Ling Chen and said to the middle-aged man.
"Elder Bai, could it be the law enforcement elder of the Beggar Gang-Bai Shijing!" After hearing the words of these beggar disciples, Ling Chen also guessed his identity in his heart.
"This little brother, what do you call it!" The middle-aged man first waved his hand to signal the beggar disciples around him to calm down, and then walked up to Ling Chen and asked.
"Under Lingchen, may I ask who Your Excellency is?" Ling Chen looked at the middle-aged man and asked seriously.
"The law enforcement elder of the beggar gang - Bai Shijing!" The middle-aged man also directly reported his identity.
"Oh! It turned out to be Elder Bai of the beggar gang, and he was rude, I don't know what Elder Bai is doing with me? After confirming that the other party's identity was really Bai Shijing, Ling Chen was also a little surprised in his heart. For this Bai Shijing, he also knows a lot after reading the original work, on the surface, he seems to be righteous and strict, iron-faced and selfless, but in fact he is also a sanctimonious, full of benevolence and morality, but his stomach is full of male thieves and female prostitutes, lowly and obscene, and an out-and-out hypocrite. After being bewitched by Kang Min, the wife of the deputy leader of the beggar gang, he actually teamed up with him to frame Qiao Feng, who had a life-saving grace for him. For this kind of shameless villain, Ling Chen was naturally very disgusted in his heart, but he couldn't show this disgust now, so Ling Chen still looked at Bai Shijing with a smile on his face and said.
"Little brother, the black horse at the door was the one you rode before?" Bai Shijing looked at Ling Chen and asked coldly.
"That's right, I'm riding!" Hearing Bai Shijing's question at this moment, Ling Chen had already roughly guessed in his heart what Bai Shijing and their group of beggars were looking for him, Bacheng was because the horse he was riding was recognized by the beggar gang disciples, so he regarded him as an enemy at this moment, so he would surround himself like this. However, Ling Chen already had a way to deal with this problem in his heart, so he was not worried, and admitted it directly.
"In that case, little brother, please come with us!" Seeing Ling Chen admit it so readily, Bai Shijing was still a little strange, secretly saying that this person was stupid, didn't he know that his horse belonged to their beggar gang, and after entering the city so swaggeringly, he was found by their beggar gang and didn't quibble. However, since Ling Chen confessed, Bai Shijing also saved a lot of things, and immediately waved his hand at the beggar disciples beside him, ready to take Ling Chen back and slowly interrogate him.
"Wait a minute, Elder Bai, why should I go with you, I picked up this horse, is there any problem!" Ling Chen pretended to be innocent and asked Bai Shijing.
"Picked it up, you really know how to say, this is obviously the black horse of the ninth generation disciple of our Beggar Gang, if you want to explain, follow me to the Law Enforcement Hall of the Beggar Gang to explain slowly!" Regarding Ling Chen's explanation, Bai Shijing smiled coldly and obviously didn't believe it.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to go to your beggars...... Help...... Enforcement ...... Don, you, what did you do! Regarding Bai Shijing's insistence on taking himself to their beggar gang law enforcement hall, Ling Chen of course shook his head in opposition. He is not a fool, he naturally understands that if he follows this Bai Shijing to their law enforcement hall, even if he can explain this matter clearly in the end, he will suffer some flesh and blood, and Ling Chen, who has always believed that he bullies people and will never be bullied by others, will of course not go. However, when he first opened his mouth to object, he felt a dizziness in his head, and then he was a little unable to support it and fell to the ground.
"It's nothing, it's just a little sweat medicine to prevent you from escaping, little brother, come with us to the Law Enforcement Hall, if you are really innocent, our beggar gang will not embarrass you!" Bai Shijing looked at Ling Chen and sneered.
"It's still ...... Beggars...... Elder ......, it's actually like this...... So...... Vile! For this Bai Shijing actually used sweat medicine to deal with himself in advance, Ling Chen also wanted to say a few words to him, but the power of this sweat medicine was too great, even if he had a strong internal force, he couldn't hold it, and he felt his head sink and fell asleep directly.
"Hmph, it seems that the amount is less this time, and this kid is still letting him say so many things!" Bai Shijing was also a little surprised that Ling Chen was able to scold himself so much before he fell asleep, and immediately glanced at the beggar gang disciples beside him and asked them to step forward and prepare to take Ling Chen to their beggar gang's law enforcement hall.
For such a behavior of the beggar gang members, the other guests of these inns did not dare to say anything, after all, this beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, and at this moment it is still under the banner of defending the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally it is not something that ordinary people can offend.
"Elder, the Gang Master and Elder Wu have already arrived at the rudder, and they are waiting for you at the moment!" Just as Bai Shijing and his disciples were taking Ling Chen out of the inn, another beggar disciple hurriedly ran from a distance to report to him.
"Well, they're here so soon!" The gang leader and Elder Wu mentioned by this beggar gang disciple are naturally the gang leaders of the beggar gang - Qiao Feng and the elder of the beggar gang - Wu Changfeng, hearing that the two of them arrived so quickly, Bai Shijing was also a little surprised, and immediately ordered his subordinates, "You take this little guy to the law enforcement hall for a good punishment first, and when I see the gang leader and deal with the matter, I will come and interrogate him!" ”
"Got it, Elder Bai!" For what Bai Shijing ordered, the disciples of these beggar gang law enforcement halls are all too familiar, and they usually torture those captured captives, and after their spirits are completely tortured and collapsed, there is no difficulty when Bai Shijing interrogates them, and they almost answer whatever they ask.
And Bai Shijing also hurried to the beggar gang after arranging this qiē, and when he arrived, Qiao Feng and Wu Changfeng were already discussing the next arrangement.
"Helper, my subordinate Bai Shijing is late, and I ask the helper to forgive me!" Bai Shijing immediately saluted Qiao Feng seriously and said.
"Elder Bai doesn't have to be polite, come, this is the latest information!" Qiao Feng also immediately helped Bai Shijing up, and at the same time handed the information in Wu Changfeng's hand to Bai Shijing and said.
Taking over the information in Qiao Feng's hand, Bai Shijing found that the information was sent by the beggar gang when they learned that Quan Guanqing was going to Western Xia, that is, the group of people who introduced the path behind Ling Chen. According to these people, they did not find any trace of Quan Guanqing, but met a Western Xia soldier on the way, and after being taken into a canyon, he completely lost his way, and even lost his horse.
"Lost Horse...... By the way, Gang Leader, Elder Wu, I have the latest information here! Thinking that he had just caught Ling Chen, who was riding their beggar gang's black horse, Bai Shijing immediately said to Qiao Feng as if he was inviting credit!
