When everyone returned to Fuwei Dart Shop, it was already dawn. Qi Kuohai hurriedly ordered the servants to bring water, let everyone clean their faces, and then prepare to eat and drink, and after eating and drinking, they should sleep beautifully. Everyone fought all night, and they all fell asleep, and they slept all day, and when they woke up, it was already evening.

Qi Kuohai ordered people, arranged a banquet, and invited all the people in the dart game to warmly celebrate the victory of the Great Fire Cloud Palace. At the banquet, everyone pushed cups and changed lamps, talked loudly, and tossed all night, until the second half of the night, and then dispersed in a groggy manner.

When I woke up the next morning, everyone was drinking tea in the living room, and suddenly the servant came in in a panic, leaned over Qi Kuohai's ear and whispered a few words.

Qi Kuohai frowned and said, "Oh, there is such a thing, please." ”

The servant nodded and went out, and when he came back, he was followed by a beggar, unkempt and with patches on his clothes, and he knew at a glance that he had some status among the beggars.

Qi Kuohai knew this person, he was the helmsman of the beggar gang's rudder in Gaoping County, surnamed Tang, named Tang Xiaojun, and the third apprentice of Li Mengran, the current leader of the beggar gang.

Qi Kuohai hurriedly got up, stepped forward, grabbed Tang Xiaojun's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Eh, Master Tang Helm, it's really a great coming, it's shining." ”

Tang Xiaojun laughed and said, "Hahaha, Tang is just a stinky person, I'm afraid of polluting Mr. Qi's mansion." ”

Everyone was amused by Tang Xiaojun and laughed.

Qi Kuohai introduced the people on both sides, and everyone reasoned with each other.

Tang Xiaojun's face suddenly became serious, and he saluted everyone, and said: "I'm here for you, first of all, congratulations to all of you for breaking the Rat Hall last night and winning a complete victory." ”

When everyone heard this, they thought to themselves, "The news of the beggar gang is really well-informed, and they got the news of what just happened last night." ”

Tang Xiaojun changed his words, and then said: "Everyone, there is one more thing, our helper has sent a letter to everyone. As he spoke, he took out a scroll of paper from his arms, unfolded it, and it turned out to be a letter and handed it to Qi Kuohai.

Qi Kuohai opened the letter and saw that it was a letter written by Li Mengran, the leader of the Beggar Gang, which stated: "Li Mengran, the leader of the Beggar Gang, and Murong Lie, the Supreme Elder of the Beggar Gang, congratulate you on your victory in the battle with Zirat Hall. But to tell you an unfortunate news, that is, since the battle of Qingsongling, after Hu Huanwen's father and son fled back to Huoyun Palace, Huoyun Palace arranged for the forces of the five halls to go out together and attacked the five major rudders of the beggar gang in the five major cities, the beggar gang suffered heavy losses, and the five rudder masters were killed and injured twice, and the gang leader Li Mengran was furious, and sent a martial arts post to invite fellow martial artists to crusade against Huoyun Palace. Now invite Li Yi, Ye Feng, Yu Debiao, Xiao Tingyu, and Qi Kuohai to Huizhou to discuss ways to deal with Huoyun Palace. ”

After everyone read the letter, Tang Xiaojun introduced the incident to everyone. It turned out that Huoyun Palace was originally secretly developing its power and secretly buying the gangs in the martial arts, and before that, it was not appropriate to fight against the big gangs in the martial arts. For example, the beggar gang, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei and other major sects are all major sects that have been inherited for dozens of generations, and they have huge power in the rivers and lakes, and they do things chivalrous and righteous, which is incompatible with Huoyun Palace. Therefore, it is not appropriate to have friction with these sects before the power of the Fire Cloud Palace grows.

However, after the battle of Qingsongling, Huoyun Palace and the beggar gang have become in love. Therefore, after Hu Huanwen returned to the Secret Demon Island, he first reported the matter of Qingsong Ridge to his master Cai Tingye.

Cai Tingye, the master of Huoyun Palace, also felt that the matter was serious, and through the analysis of his think tank, he finally made a decision, since there is bound to be a battle with the beggar gang sooner or later, now the contradiction has intensified, and now that the power of Huoyun Palace has grown stronger, he will take this opportunity to directly start a war against the beggar gang, and make a first move.

After the strategic decision was made, Huoyun Palace immediately mobilized the five halls of Ugly Cow Hall, Yinhu Hall, Mao Rabbit Hall, Chenlong Hall, and Sisnake Hall to attack the five rudders of the beggar gang in five places at the same time.

The Beggar Gang was originally instructed by the mad beggar Murong Lie and the gang leader Li Mengran to secretly collect information about the Fire Cloud Palace, but they didn't expect the Fire Cloud Palace to be so rampant this time, and they actually directly attacked the five rudders of the Beggar Gang, causing the five rudders of the Beggar Gang to be wiped out.

Therefore, the leader of the beggar gang was furious and decided to start an all-out war against the Fire Cloud Palace. After the introduction of the crazy beggar Murong Lie, four new heroes were born in the rivers and lakes, Li Yi, Ye Feng, Yu Debiao, and Xiao Tingyu are all very remarkable, so Li Mengran wrote a letter to invite the four of them and Qi Kuohai to Huizhou to help the soldiers, and it turned out that the helm of the beggar gang was located in Huizhou.

After reading this letter, everyone else was eager to try, ready to go to Huizhou and Huoyun Palace to do a big job. Only Li Yi and Ye Feng were silent.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaojun not only looked suspicious, but also thought to himself, "Don't Li Yi and Ye Feng want to help." He Tang Xiaojun is also a person who in a thatched house and rushes out, and he also loves face, so he blushed, and said to Li Yi and Ye Feng with his fists: "Li Daxia and Ye Daxia If there are other important things, it is inconvenient to go to Huizhou, and we will not be reluctant to do it." ”

Li Yi and Ye Feng felt their gaffe at this time, and hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted: "Master Tang Helm, I'm sorry, we thought about something else just now, we are duty-bound, we are obligated to go to Huizhou, please ask Lord Tang to return to Senior Murong and Gang Master Li, we must arrive in Huizhou on time." ”

When Tang Xiaojun heard the two of them say this, Fang said with a smile on his face: "Since this is the case, we are waiting for you in Huizhou." After saying that, he turned around and said goodbye and left.

In the guest room behind Fuwei Dart Shop, Li Yi, Ye Feng, and Xiao Tingyu were talking in the room. Xiao Tingyu looked at Ye Feng and said, "Senior Brother Ye, if you are not ready to go to Huizhou, then you and Brother Li Yi will stay in Fuwei Dart Store first, and I will go with Senior Brother Yu, Xiu Chen, and President Qi first." ”

Li Yi also said: "Second brother, it is better to follow Senior Sister Xiao's method, let a few of them go to Huizhou to help, and the two of us will attack the other halls of Huoyun Palace, this is called the plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao." ”

Ye Feng was silent for a while, raised his head, looked at the two of them resolutely, and said in a firm tone: "What should come is always coming, since we have to face it sooner or later, then let's face it calmly, let's go to Huizhou together tomorrow." ”

The matter about Jiang Wenjie has always been a pain in Ye Feng's heart, after all, there is the brotherly relationship of the 'Yangzhou Three Scholars' back then, and the hatred of killing himself, the two feelings are intertwined, making Ye Feng want to take revenge and escape. So when Xiao Tingyu proposed whether to seek revenge on Jiang Wenjie or Cai Tingye first, Ye Feng resolutely chose to seek revenge on Cai Tingye first.

Now that there has been a change in the middle, the matter of the beggar gang has happened, and the matter of Jiang Wenjie has been put in front of him, Ye Feng is a bold person after all, since he can't hide from it, then face it bravely.

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaojun, the helmsman of the Gaoping County Branch of the Beggars, came to the door of Fuwei Dart Store early to wait for everyone.

Qi Kuohai hurriedly won out of the door, laughed and said, "Master Tang, you arrived really early." ”

Tang Xiaojun hurriedly saluted and said, "Mr. Qi, I am shy in my pocket, so I have to ask you to prepare a few batches of horses." ”

"I've prepared the horses for a long time, they're all good horses." Qi Kuohai ordered the servants to take the horses out for Tang Xiaojun to watch.

Tang Xiaojun saw that a total of eight horses were brought out, and sure enough, all of them were first-class famous horses. Now that I am in a hurry, I will not lose time in terms of foot strength.

After waiting for a while, Li Yi, Ye Feng, Xiao Tingyu, Yu Debiao, Xiuchen, and Qi Kuohai's son Qi Wei, a total of six people, had already cleaned up and gathered at the door, plus Qi Kuohai and Tang Xiaojun, a total of eight people and eight horses, and set off to Huizhou.

On this day, everyone passed by a big town store named Yang Jiaji. At this time, it was already noon, everyone chose a big hotel to call the guest to come to the hotel, asked for a single room on the second floor, ordered ten dishes, and talked while eating.

Everyone was eating, and they heard a shouting downstairs, and when they heard that there were guests coming again, they heard the shopkeeper shouting: "Four uncles, please upstairs." ”

I heard the sound of a guest going upstairs at 'Dengdengdeng', Qi Kuohai sat down on the door of the private room, and looked out, "Eh, Brother Ji, Brother Sun is here." He quickly stood up and greeted the people who came upstairs warmly.

Li Yi and the others took a look, and four people came up along the stairs, namely Ji Changhai, the god killing king, the two brothers Sun Xin and Sun Guo, the two brothers of Jiangnan, and one who didn't know him, a stout man about forty years old, with a tiger tail three-section stick on his back.

Qi Kuohai let these four people into a single room, introduced Li Yi and others, pointed at Ji Changhai, Sun Xin, and Sun Guo with his hand, and said: "Everyone, you all know these three, let me introduce you to this one," said the one who was carrying the tiger's tail three-section stick with one hand on his back, "This Jianghu person said, 'Iron Palm Copper Stick', named Shi Kun, is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple. ”

As soon as everyone heard it, Shi Kun, the iron palm copper stick, heard that this person is not small in the rivers and lakes, and his iron palm kung fu and three-section stick kung fu are known as the two uniques, and there is also a number one in the rivers and lakes.

It turned out that these four people also received a heroic post from the beggar gang Li Mengran, and they wanted to rush to Huizhou to help the soldiers. I happened to meet Qi Kuohai and others here.

Everyone is a martial arts practitioner, so lively, easy to make friends, naturally it is familiar at first sight. Qi Kuohai asked the shopkeeper to add seats, and everyone had a meal to eat and drink, and talked.

After eating and drinking, everyone bowed and rushed to Huizhou.

Everyone drove more than 100 miles, and it was already evening. Seeing that there was a desolate land all around, and there were no inns, the people rode their horses and walked for a while, and found a temple on the side of the road, which said 'Stone Buddha Temple'.

Qi Kuohai said to everyone: "It seems that it is impossible to find an inn today, so it is better to spend the night here." ”

When everyone heard this, they had no choice but to do so.

Qi Kuohai knocked on the door, the door squeaked, a crack opened, and a small monk leaned out of the door, his hands folded, "Donors, are you in trouble?" ”

Qi Kuohai hurriedly returned the salute, "Little master, we are passers-by, it is dark, and we haven't caught up with the inn, can we spend the night in your temple, and we must give more sesame oil money." ”

"Wait a moment, donors, I'll go and ask my master." After the little monk finished speaking, he went into the temple to ask the master. After a while, he came back, opened the door, and said to everyone, "Ladies donors, my master said, please rest inside." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and then entered the Stone Buddha Temple with the little monk, never expecting that this entry into the temple would lead to a catastrophe of killing.
