Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Iron Horse
Xie Yun said: "Although we martial arts people have some ability, we can't compare with the government after all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Wanzhifu really wanted to exterminate us in the first few years, because there was a lot of pressure from above. Later, Wan Zhifu changed his strategy, and unless he was captured alive, he would not be ruthless. First, they want us to lose heartily, and they want us to use people in the rivers and lakes to gather our strength and train our own army. His intentions are obvious. ”
Xia Wei said: "Then, if you haven't exterminated the martial arts people, won't you blame the higher-ups?"
Xie Yun said: "Of course, he was furious at first, but Liu Jingde, the secretary of the military department who took office later, was a powerful figure. He knew the intentions and abilities of Wan Zhifu, and tried his best to protect Wan Xian'an, so that Wan Xian'an later Wanjia Army was born. It is also in line with the development of Wan Xian'an, a large peasant uprising broke out in Jiaqing ten years, the Qing court was defeated and retreated, and Liu Jingde recommended Wan Xian'an's Wanjia army. Unexpectedly, the Wanjia Army stubbornly suppressed this uprising, and of course several good men died.
The boss wanted to reward and promote Wan Xian'an, but Wan Xian'an refused, saying that he was just his prefect of Jinan. Unexpectedly, Qingjun Longyan Dayue ordered Wan Xian'an to continue to stay in Jinan Mansion, which led to Wan Xian'an's Jinan prefect for 36 years. ”
Xia Wei said: "In this way, Wan Xianan is really a powerful person. The reason why he didn't exterminate all of you people in the rivers and lakes was to keep his Wanjia army on guard and ready to fight at all times. This person is prepared for danger in times of peace, takes precautions, and has a broad vision. ”
Xie Yun said: "We people in the rivers and lakes are all flesh and blood people, we and the Tongling Gang have a common hatred, fighting each other will inevitably be damaged, the location of the competition in Jinan Mansion is to disturb Wan Xian's peace, let him know that we, the people of the rivers and lakes, want to take his dog life all the time." If you take advantage of the chaos to kill Wan Xian'an, it will be better. Although we have been fighting with the Copper Bell Gang for decades, we also have an agreement. ”
As the sun sets, the outskirts of Jinan are even colder. Xia Wei's face turned red, and she said, "What kind of agreement is it? ”
Xie Yun said: "Miss Xia is really smart. Judging from the current situation, Jinan is a barrier to Beijing, and if you want to drive Qinggou out of the Central Plains, then you must first destroy Jinan Mansion. We martial arts people are not so stingy, and my agreement with the Tongling Gang is that if it is a member of our two gangs, no matter who kills Wan Xian'an first, we will obey his orders from now on. Of course, he reconciled the two of us, and we listened to him. If an outsider kills Wan Xian'an, we will stop the competition and help him complete the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty together. ”
When Xie Yun said this, he was impassioned, and his heroic feelings were not inferior to those of men, as if the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty was in full swing. Although Xia Wei is a girl who is ignorant of the world, after listening to Xie Yun's words, she also seemed a little enthusiastic.
Xie Wan laughed and said, "If Miss Xia can kill Wan Xian'an, it will of course be the best ending." ”
Xia Wei hurriedly said: "I just want to find my brother Xiaozhuang, I don't want to do anything else." ”
She Chun, who was walking at the forefront, suddenly stopped his horse and said: "Further forward is the south gate of Jinan City, and today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I think the Wanzhi Prefecture will take strict precautions. If we enter the city like this, we will definitely attract the attention of the enemy. ”
Not to be outdone, Yu Qingquan said: "That's nature, in my opinion, our group can only go separately, which can not only distract the enemy's attention, but also fully blossom in the city." ”
She Xia said: "How to distribute, please master decide." ”
Xie Wan said: "I don't know if my virtuous nephews can obey my arrangement." ”
Yu Qingquan said: "Then it depends on how you arrange it." It's well arranged, so naturally I don't have anything to say. ”
Xie Yun said: "She Xia, Yu Qingshui, Miss Xia, you are a group of three." Qingquan, Qinghong's nephew, you two are at your own convenience. There are many of us, and we are divided into zero. Nephew Qingshui, tell your master and sister, let's gather at the Invitation Moon Tower in Jinan Mansion tomorrow night, how about it?"
She Xia is Xie Yun's most important disciple, and Yu Qingshui is the highest martial arts among the female disciples of the Tongling Gang, and the old disciple is the most suitable. The three female disciples of the Copper Bell Gang naturally had no opinion.
Xie Yun continued: "Miss Xia, the old body will accompany you here, let's see you tomorrow night." She Xia is my most proud disciple, and Qing Shui's nephew is a first-class player in the Tongling Gang, with the two of them here, you are absolutely safe. ”
Xia Wei said: "Thank you, please help." As long as I can find my brother, it doesn't matter what else matters. ”
After Xie Wan finished assigning the disciples behind her, she led the way into the city, and she walked far away, when suddenly her voice floated over: "Miss Xia, if the old man's physical and mental wishes can be fulfilled tomorrow night, your younger brother will definitely be able to return to you safely." ”
She Xia was in front, Xia Wei was in the middle, and Yu Qingshui was behind, and the three of them entered the city smoothly. When they arrived in Jinan City, the three of them found a place to settle the horses, and while it was not dark, the three of them wandered around Jinan City. She Xia and Yu Qingshui represent two gangs, they don't talk to each other, Xia Wei is worried about Xiaozhuang's safety, and she has no intention of talking.
The city of Jinan is full of tourists, shoulder to shoulder, selling fireworks, selling steamed buns, selling sugar skewers, juggling on the street, buying medicine abounds, and there is no tension at all.
The three of them traveled all the way north, and suddenly they heard the pedestrians in the north arguing, and the sound of horses' hooves came from the north. Sounds like it's fast. With such a blocked road and such a fast speed, you can imagine how presumptuous the people on horseback are.
Tourists dodged away, Xia Wei suddenly saw a child staying in the middle of the road, Xia Wei lost her voice and shouted: "Xiaozhuang, Xiaozhuang, flash away." I'm your sister Xia. ”
The iron rider leaped over the child's body, and the front horse's hooves had already landed on the tips of Xia Wei's hair. She Xia thought, this person is quite important to the family teacher, maybe he will still be the leader of the snake gang in the future, and he must not die. Yu Qingshui thought, this person knows that it will be of great help to me and my sister, and I must save him, and I can't care if I am exposed.
Yu Qingshui flew forward and grabbed the front hooves of the handle, and She Xia had already caught the hind hooves of the horse. Yu Qingshui roared, and the horse's entire front legs had been torn off by Yu Qingshui. She Xia had already helped Xia Wei into the crowd. Passers-by applauded: "The woman with the big knife is so powerful." ”
Another old man said: "If you don't have thousands of catties of strength in your hands, how can you tear off a horse's leg." ”
One child said, "Ordinary people pull chicken legs, but today it's funny to see people pulling horse legs." ”
The man on the horse pointed his sword to the ground and landed firmly on the ground. Look at his horse again, with its hind legs propped up, and its long torn and screaming in agony, and in great pain, it still wants to leap two steps forward. Unexpectedly, when his body suddenly landed, he stopped moving. It turned out that its two hind legs were only flesh and skin, and its muscles and bones were all broken, like two dead snakes.
Xia Weisi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out that it wasn't Xiaozhuang, it was that I was going to see him tomorrow, and I was in a trance." ”
