Volume 5 Bloodstained Rivers and Lakes Chapter 24 The Battle of the Apricot Forest 3
Qiao Feng ignored him and asked rhetorically, "What about the two elders of Gong Transmission and Law Enforcement?" ”
Quan Guan Qingdao: "My subordinates didn't see the two elders today. ”
Qiao Feng asked again: "Where is the helmsman of the four rudders of Great Benevolence, Great Faith, Great Courage, and Great Ceremony?" Quan Guanqing turned his head sideways and asked a seven-bag disciple in the northwest corner, "Zhang Quanxiang, why didn't your helmsman come?" The seven bags of disciples said, "Hmm...... Well...... I do not know. ”
Qiao Feng knew that the great wisdom of the rudder master Quanguan was scheming and capable, and he was a very capable subordinate under his own command, but at this time, the plot became chaotic, but he became a very powerful enemy, seeing that the seven-bag disciple Zhang Quanxiang had a guilty face, he spoke heavily, and his eyes did not dare to face him, and shouted: "Zhang Quanxiang, you killed the rudder master, didn't you?" Zhang Quanxiang was shocked and hurriedly said: "No, no!"
The rudder lord is there with good dignity, not dead, not dead! This...... It's none of my business, I didn't do it. Qiao Feng said sharply: "Then who did it?" The words were not loud, but they were full of majesty. Zhang Quanxiang couldn't help but tremble, and his eyes looked towards Quan Guanqing.
Qiao Feng let out a long sigh, turned around and asked Elder Chen and the other three elders in his hand, "Four elders, what happened?" "Four elders, you look at me, I look at you, and I hope that others will speak first.
"Alas, Master Jiang, send a signal." Qiao Feng said with a sigh.
"Oh no, stop him!" Quan Guanqing shouted after hearing Qiao Feng's words.
And Qiao Feng Huo took two steps forward, each step was a vertical search, and others were leaping forward, not so fast, and the stride was not so broad. He took two steps and entered, no more than three feet away from Quan Guanqing, his left hand was directly buckled, and his right hand was grabbed, just grabbing the "atrium" and "dovetail" points on his chest.
The strength of Quanguanqing's martial arts is not inferior to the four elders, but he can't fight back with a single move, so he is detained. Qiao Feng had luck in his hand, and the internal force penetrated through the two acupoints of Quan Guanqing, followed the meridians, and went straight to the two acupoints of his knee joint, "Zhongwei" and "Balcony". His knees were sore, and he fell to his knees involuntarily. All the gangs lost their color, and everyone was terrified, not knowing what to do.
Then the Great Righteous Helm Master Jiang took out an arrow from his bosom and shot it into the sky, while Elder Chen took this opportunity to run back into the crowd of beggars.
Qiao Feng patted Quan Guanqing's head and said, "Your matter, I will be judged by the law enforcement elders in a while." ”
Not long after, another group of beggars came to the apricot forest, at this time, except for Liao Hua and Duan Yu and others, they were all ragged beggars in the apricot forest, or they were the largest gang in the world.
Among the beggars, it was Bai Shijing and Elder Xiang, and Bai Shijing asked as soon as he came, "May I ask the four elders Song Xi, Chen and Wu, what do you mean by ordering someone to lock us up in a boat in Taihu Lake?" ”
Among the four elders, Elder Song was the oldest, and he was the head of the four elders. His face flushed, he coughed, and said, "This...... This one...... Well...... We are good brothers who have shared hardships and lives and deaths for many years, and naturally there is no malice...... White...... Bai Law Enforcement looked at my old brother's face, so he didn't have to mind. ”
When everyone heard this, they all felt that he was too old and too foolish, and that he had committed chaos in the gang, what a big deal it was, how could he say "look at my old brother's face" and lightly pass it off?
Bai Shijing said: "Elder Song said that there was no malice, but the truth was not so. Elder Chuangong and I were imprisoned in three boats in the middle of the Taihu Lake, and the boats were full of firewood, grass and sulfur, saying that if we wanted to escape, we would immediately set the boat on fire. Elder Song, isn't this malicious? ”
Elder Song said, "This ...... Well, it's going too far. Everyone is a family, and they have always been like brothers, how can they be so brutal? See you later, this ...... Isn't that embarrassing? He had already said these words to Elder Chen.
Elder Wu said, "As disciples of the Beggar Gang, we must abide by the laws of our ancestors. When a husband acts, right is right, wrong is wrong, dare to act, and dare to take responsibility. ”
Turning to Qiao Feng, he said, "Gang Leader Qiao, we have discussed with all of us to abolish your position as Gang Leader." In this major event, the four elders of Song Xi, Chen and Wu were all involved. We were afraid that the two elders would not allow it, so we tried to imprison them. This is for the sake of the great cause of the gang, and it has to take a risk. Today's momentum is unfavorable, and you have the upper hand, and we will be at your disposal. Wu Changfeng has been in the beggar gang for 30 years, and everyone knows that I am not a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death. As he spoke, he threw the ghost head knife far away, clasped his arms in front of his chest, and looked like he was not afraid of heaven and earth.
He made a eloquent statement and confided in the conspiracy of "abolishing the gang leader", and everyone in the gang was shocked. These few words, all the people involved in the conspiracy understood in their hearts, but no one dared to declare them, but Wu Changfeng was the first to speak bluntly.
Law enforcement elder Bai Shijing said loudly: "Song Xi, Chen and Wu Si Elders betrayed the gang leader and violated the first article of the gang rules. The law enforcement disciple tied up the four elders. "The disciples under him who enforce the law took the cow tendon and went to tie Wu Changfeng first. Wu Changfeng stood with a smile and did not resist. Following the second elder Song Xi, he also threw down his blade and tied it with his backhand.
Elder Chen's face was extremely ugly, and he muttered, "Coward, coward!" If you start a battle, you may not lose, but everyone is afraid of Qiao Feng. ”
Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and horses from the north came galloping towards them, followed by a whistle or two. One of the beggars whistled in response, and the horse galloped faster and faster, and gradually galloped closer. Wu Changfeng muttered, "What's the emergency?" "The horse had not yet arrived, and suddenly there was a horse running to the east, but it was still far away, and the sound of hooves was faint, and it was not clear where it was galloping for a while.
In a few moments, the horse from the north had galloped out of the forest, and one of them rode into the forest, turned over and saddled. The man had a wide robe with large sleeves, and his ornaments were very ornate, and he quickly removed his coat, revealing the beggar's outfit with knots inside. Duan Yu thought about it for a while, and immediately understood: the people in the beggar gang galloped on horses, which was very easy to attract attention, and the people in the government were often more likely to inquire and interfere, but the person who reported the emergency information had to ride a horse, and he was a messenger who was in a hurry to disguise himself as a wealthy businessman, but he still wore dove clothes inside, and he did not dare to forget his roots.
The man walked up to the helmsman of Daxin, respectfully presented a small package, and said, "Emergency Military Intelligence ......," and after saying only these four words, he gasped, and suddenly, the horse he rode with a neighing sound, rolled to the ground, and died of exhaustion. The messenger swayed and fell violently. Obviously, this man is exhausted after a long gallop.
The Lord of the Great Faith Helmsman recognized this messenger as one of the disciples sent by the Helm to spy on the news in Western Xia. When the Western Xia invaded the territory, occupied the land and disturbed the people, just to harm the Khitan, the beggar gang often had spies to go to the Western Xia to spy on the news. Seeing that this person was so desperate, the message he transmitted was naturally extremely important, and it must be extremely urgent, so he didn't open it at the moment, held the small bag and presented it to Qiao Feng, and said, "The Western Xia emergency military situation." The messenger followed the Yi Dabiao brothers to Western Xia. ”
Qiao Feng took the package, opened it, and saw that there was a wax pill wrapped in it. He crushed the wax pill, took out a paper ball, and was about to unfold it to look at it, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the horse of the east head had galloped into the forest. As soon as the horse's head appeared in the forest, the passenger on horseback had already flown down and shouted: "Qiao Feng, wax pill book, this is a major military event, you can't read it." ”
Everyone was shocked, and when they looked at the man, they saw that he had a white beard fluttering, and he was wearing a dove robe full of nails, and he was an old beggar of a very old age. The two elders of Gong Chuan and Law Enforcement stood up together and said, "Elder Xu, what is the matter here?" ”
When the beggars heard Elder Xu coming, they were all moved. This old man Xu has a very high rank in the beggar gang, he is eighty-seven years old this year, and the former Wang gang leader respects him as a "master", and there is no one in the beggar gang who is not his junior. He has been retired for a long time and has long since stopped asking about world affairs. Qiao Feng and the elders of Gong Chuan Gong and Law Enforcement greeted him every year, and they just casually talked about the common things in the help. Unexpectedly, he suddenly arrived. Moreover, when Qiao Feng was stopped from reading the military situation of Western Xia, everyone was surprised.
Qiao Feng immediately tightened his left hand, held the paper ball, bowed down, and said, "Elder Xu is well!" Then spread out his palms and sent the paper ball to Elder Xu.
Qiao Feng is the leader of the beggar gang, although his rank is lower than that of Elder Xu, but when he encounters major events in the gang, he is the one who gives orders after all, not to mention that Elder Xu is just a retired senior, that is, the previous generation of gang leaders resurrected, which is also under him. Unexpectedly, Elder Xu did not allow him to watch the military emergency report from Western Xia, and he did not resist, and everyone was stunned.
Elder Xu said, "Offended! He took the paper ball from Qiao Feng's palm, held it in his left hand, and then swept his eyes towards the group of beggars, and said loudly: "Mrs. Ma, the widow of Ma Dayuan and Ma brothers, is coming, and I will tell you, how about you treat her for a while?" The beggars all looked at Qiao Feng and saw what he had to say.
Of course, Qiao Feng knew what they were coming to do, and said, "If this matter is important, everyone will wait." Elder Xu said, "This matter is very important. After saying these six words, he didn't say anything again, and made up to Qiao Feng to see the helper's gift, and then sat aside.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was repeated, and the two horses galloped towards the apricot grove. The beggars gathered here, and although they left marks on the side of the road, there were even people nearby who led them to warn against the enemy.
Everyone only said that one of them must be Ma Dayuan's widow, but the passenger on the horse was an old man, an old woman, the man was short, and the woman was very tall, which contrasted with each other.
Qiao Feng stood up to greet him and said, "Taihang Mountain Chongxiao Cave Tan Gong and Tan Poxian and his wife have arrived, and they have missed the distance, Qiao Feng has thanked him here." Elder Xu and the six elders of Gong Transmission and Law Enforcement stepped forward to salute together.
Then the sound of hooves was heard, and a donkey came into the forest, and one of the men on the donkey rode upside down, with his back to the donkey's head and his face to the donkey's tail. Tan Po smiled and shouted, "Senior brother, what weird tricks are you playing again?" I'll spank you! ”
