Under the night, a figure in white floated in.

The Blue Winged Bat King Wei, who originally looked quite calm, smiled and his face suddenly turned ugly, and his voice was sharp: "Yang Xiao! ”

"Bat King!"

Yang Xiao smiled and bowed slightly, which was regarded as a greeting, ignoring Wei Yixiao's slightly gloomy face.

The Blue Winged Bat King Wei smiled and his heart sank.

Now that Yang Xiao is here, his plan to win the Holy Flame Order is probably going to fall short.

Although it is not pleasing to the eye, he has to admit that this guy's martial arts are quite not weak.

Lin Mang's expression was slightly condensed, and there was a little more solemnity in his heart.

This person is strong!

Mingjiao, the left envoy Yang Xiao!

"Lord Lin, it's been a long time." Yang Xiao arched his hand with a smile, dressed in white and snowy, exuding a free and uninhibited temperament.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Yang Xiao, the left envoy of the Ming Sect, is handsome, and now he is really extraordinary at first sight.

Lin Mang also arched his hand and said with a smile: "I've seen Yang Zuo's envoy." ”

Yang Xiao glanced at Lin Mang deeply and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Lin, will I be a Ming Sect apologetic master." ”

Although he had heard it just now, he wanted to confirm it again.

In fact, his heart was shocked.

The apologetic magic is a secret that cannot be passed on, and even he has only learned the first two layers.

It seems that the rumors of the Holy Fire Order are true.

Moreover, Lin Mang's growth rate has far exceeded his original expectations.

"Yes!"

Lin Mang's answer was concise and to the point.

From the time he learned to move the world, he guessed that there would be people from the Ming Sect who would come to his door in the future.

But for these, he has never cared.

The imperial court has the town teaching methods of various sects, and they don't see them robbing it.

Yang Xiao's expression changed slightly.

A tangle flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, Yang Xiao lifted his robe and bowed down to perform a Mingjiao salute.

This sudden move made Lin Mang and Wei Yixiao a little stunned.

Lin Mang frowned and stared at Yang Xiao, thinking about it in his heart.

"Yang Xiao, what are you doing?"

Yang Xiao glanced at him, did not answer, but smiled: "Bat King, let's go!" ”

"Regarding the Holy Flame Order and the Guardian Divine Skill, don't make up your mind, since it has been obtained by Lord Lin, it is Lord Lin's."

Although the words were extremely flat, as if they were saying something very casual, they carried a hint of unquestionable meaning.

Lin Mang's expression moved slightly.

Wei Yixiao's face sank, stared at Yang Xiao, and said angrily: "This is something from my Mingjiao." ”

He didn't know what this Yang Xiao thought, but whether it was the Holy Flame Order or the Apologetic Divine Skill, they were all things that belonged to the Ming Sect, how could they fall into the hands of an outsider.

Wei Yixiao suddenly looked at Lin Mang and said, "Say, what do you want, I can exchange it with you." ”

As for robbing, he never thought about it.

Not to mention Yang Xiao, he is not sure about the army in the city alone.

Not to mention that there is also an extremely powerful figure in this city.

Lin Mang smiled, looked at him and asked, "Can the Bat King come up with something of equal value to these two things?" ”

Wei smiled and was speechless for a moment.

No matter which of these two things is a rare thing in the world, how can he possibly take it.

Not to mention the Holy Fire Order, there are not many martial arts that can be compared to the Divine Skill of Apologetics alone.

The smile on Yang Xiao's face suddenly disappeared, and his tone was slightly cold: "Bat King, don't forget." ”

"Seeing the Holy Fire Order, it is like seeing the Sect Master!"

"Humph!" Wei Yi snorted coldly and turned around to leave directly.

Anyway, he didn't show it up!

Yang Xiao shook his head, arched his hand with a smile, and said meaningfully: "Lord Lin, you still need to be careful of those two water and fire judges, these two are not weak, and they are better at combining skills. ”

After that, he took a deep look at Lin Mang, and quickly dodged away.

The position of the head of the church has been vacant for a long time, and they are not subordinate to each other.

No matter who is the leader of this sect, it will be difficult to convince the public.

But now that the Holy Fire Order has appeared, and the Apologetics have been born, there should be an explanation for the position of the sect leader.

……

Judge of fire and water?

Lin Mang frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of the two people he had seen earlier.

Is it them?

Lin Mang walked a little and quickly rushed back to the courtyard.

As soon as he returned to the hospital, he found that there was already one more person in the hospital, and it was Luo Shangzhi.

"Lord Lin, are you alright?" Luo Shangzhi asked with concern.

I felt a strong aura before, but after he chased it out, Lin Mang had already chased it out.

"It's fine." Lin Mang smiled: "It's just a thief." ”

"Lord Lin, let's rest early."

Luo Shangzhi looked at Lin Mang deeply, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.

……

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, Luo Shangzhi began to command the soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion to leave Chengtianfu and attack the front line of Jingzhou.

With the addition of the 50,000 Beijing battalion army, the morale soared, and four counties were captured in one day.

A group of brocade guards also joined the army and participated in reconnaissance missions.

Lin Mang is also busy.

In addition to reconnaissance tasks, Jinyiwei also needs to be responsible for logistics transportation tasks with people from major Jianghu sects.

As the so-called army has not moved, grain and grass go first.

Now that the rebel army is circulating in various places, food has become a big problem.

It can only be purchased from major families for a lot of money.

These wealthy families and Jianghu sects have accumulated a lot of food.

In fact, the battle was brutal.

There are many ordinary people coerced by the chaotic army, and when fighting, ordinary people are often sent to serve as cannon fodder to consume the combat power of the imperial army.

At first, the governor would fight with his army, but then he simply abandoned this strategy and started with his own lives.

Thousands of people die every day, which puts a lot of pressure on logistics.

There are simply not enough troops in the army, and logistics transportation can only be transported by Jinyiwei, the people of the rivers and lakes, and the county soldiers of various prefectures and counties.

Especially when the White Lotus Sect disciples participated in the war, if it weren't for the people of the various sects, the battle would probably be even more tragic.

Jinyiwei has already raised armaments and materials in various places that have not yet fallen, and even left Huguang to raise them.

The army of 150,000, plus the displaced people everywhere, the daily consumption is a huge number.

The 200,000 taels sent by Lin Mang have already consumed most of them in a few days.

In the end, even Lin Mang would participate in some important transportation tasks from time to time.

The key is the transportation of firearms, and there must be no mistakes in the slightest.

During this time, the two overseers from the imperial court were unusually quiet.

Even from time to time, they will go to the front line to reward the army.

However, the war was severe, and Luo Shangzhi had no time to take care of them.

The fighting lasted for eight days.

Luo Shangzhi had already recaptured the two capital cities, forcing Li Wengui's army to shrink the defensive line towards Jiangxi.

……

Chengtianfu, Changyang County.

This is an extremely important logistics and transportation point in Chengtianfu.

The daily delivery of armaments here needs to be transferred here and then transported to the various lines of Chengtianfu.

At this moment, in a small remote courtyard in the city, there are people constantly coming, all of whom are the leaders of the Huguang Lake Guangjiang Lake Sect.

In the middle of the courtyard, a figure in an official uniform sits.

Behind him, stood two masked judges of fire and water.

Seeing everyone come in, Lu Wu chuckled and said, "Everyone, sit down." ”

Someone hesitated: "Lord Lu, I don't know what you are calling me urgently?" ”

Lu Wuyan glanced at the man, put down the teacup with a smile, swept it over everyone, and said, "I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you. ”

"I heard that you are all under the command of Lord Lin?"

Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't guess what this Lord Lu meant for a while.

Someone hugged his fists and said: "Lord Lin is the leader of my Huguang Martial Arts. ”

"Haha!" Lu Wu clapped his hands with a smile and laughed, "Lord Lin is really powerful." ”

There was a hint of yin and yang in his laughter.

"But ......" Lu Wu paused, and suddenly said: "If this official said that he would let you betray Lord Lin, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes widened, and they looked at Lu Wu with disbelief on their faces.

Betrayal of Lin Mang?

As far as they knew, this Lord Lu was a prison sent by the DPRK and China, and he heard that he had a strong background.

The people of the various sects looked at each other, and their faces were ugly.

They had a vague bad feeling.

Someone clasped his fists and laughed in a low voice: "Master Lu, don't be joking." ”

"Are you kidding?" Lu Wu smiled and said, "Do you think I would joke about this kind of thing?" ”

Everyone's hearts were cold.

At the same time, I was frightened and helpless.

What is this called?

Lu Wu looked at everyone with a smile and said in a deep voice: "You have been having a hard time lately, right?" ”

"The army of the imperial court is in charge of the battle, and the logistics are all in your responsibility, and even the food, money and food are all provided by you."

The crowd fell silent.

As Lu Wu said, during this time, these sects are about to empty their family foundations.

Not only people, but also money and food.

The disciples in the sect were even more killed and wounded.

Lu Wu took in everyone's expressions, and his smile was even bigger: "I know, Lord Lin promised you that you will repay double after the war, but how long can you hold on?" ”

"Three, five, or ten?"

"It's not easy for you to save these family businesses, so why waste them in vain."

"I can tell you unambiguously that this war will not end so easily."

The crowd was silent again.

Simple words, but they have a feeling of sinking into the abyss.

Lu Wu took a sip of the tea on the table and slowly tasted it, stretched out his hand, and the fire judge in the back handed over a letter.

"You might as well take a look at this."

Everyone hesitated to take the letters, someone opened them and glanced at them, Tong Kongmeng's eyes widened with anger.

"Master Lu, these things have nothing to do with my wife and children!"

Hearing this, the rest of the people's faces changed slightly, and they quickly opened the letter.

glanced at them one by one, and then his complexion changed greatly.

One of them sighed and said helplessly: "Lord Lu, what do you want us to do?" ”

Even if they want to kill this guy at the moment, they can only endure it.

These letters were written by their loved ones, and the meaning of them could not be more obvious.

Lu Wu smiled slightly and clapped his hands.

Soon, a person walked in outside the courtyard, carrying a brocade box.

Lu Wu directly reached out and opened the brocade box.

I saw a box full of silver tickets in the brocade box.

Lu Wu said meaningfully: "You are all smart people, I think you should know how to choose." ”

"If you are willing, 100,000 taels per person, and after the deed is completed, there will be another reward."

Everyone's eyes invariably looked at the silver ticket in the brocade box, and their eyes flashed.

Lu Wu waited patiently for a while, and said with a smile: "I think you should all have a choice in your heart. ”

"What you have to do is very simple, the day after tomorrow, the rebel army will attack the city, and this official wants to ask you to open the city gate at that time."

"What's more......"

"If there is a distress signal or something, I hope you can find an excuse to resign."

Everyone's faces changed slightly.

Someone glanced at Lu Wu in disbelief, and his heart seemed to be a thunderbolt across the sunny sky.

This is clearly to give Changyang City to the rebellious army.

This place is the throat of Chengtianfu, and it is the focus of transportation.

If this place is breached and the rebel army occupies this place, the entire Chengtianfu front will be difficult to take care of.

Even these Jianghu people know the importance of this place.

The crowd couldn't help but glance at Lu Wu, secretly frightened.

It's so ruthless!

If the battle line is broken, the rebellious army will surely drive straight in, and the imperial army lacking military rations will not even have enough to eat, let alone fight.

But...... Nor are these things to their sole responsibility.

What's more, if they don't agree today, I'm afraid they won't be able to get out of this place alive.

Everyone smiled helplessly.

Eventually, one person stepped forward and took the silver ticket from the brocade box.

With one person taking the lead, the follow-up people stepped forward one after another.

Lu Wu smiled more and more happily: "You have made a good choice. ”

Watching a group of Jianghu sect leaders walk out of the courtyard, a figure slowly walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Lord Lu is so scheming."

Grandpa Tang walked in with a smile and sat down slowly.

This time, after pouring a cup of tea, he cautiously tested the temperature with his hands.

After confirming that it was not hot, he slowly tasted it and praised: "Good tea." ”

Lu Wu smiled and arched his hand and said, "Each other!" ”

Grandpa Tang smiled, not caring at all about the sarcasm in his words.

Even a literati doesn't care about fame, let alone a eunuch.

"Our family is just doing what we are told."

"But...... Aren't you afraid that they will go to the tip-off? ”

Lu Wu smiled indifferently: "Their families are all in my hands, and now they have collected money." ”

"What's more, people are all profit-seeking, and if they continue to fight, their family will be wiped out, do you think they really don't want to resist?"

"I just didn't get a good chance."

"Now I'm just giving them an excuse to be at ease."

Lu Wu got up and said, "Let's go, it's time to leave, otherwise the rebel army will come, but you won't be able to leave." ”

……

A group of people from the Jianghu sect returned to their respective residences.

In the residence of the Changtian Gang,

Zhao Yuntian held the silver ticket in his hand, his eyes flickering.

At that time, I had no choice but to go with the flow.

But now that he is holding the silver ticket in his hand, he knows what a hot potato this is.

Success is naturally good, but if it fails, with that person's character, the entire gang is afraid that it will suffer.

On the side, the Great Elder of the Changtian Gang closed his eyes and was silent.

"Great Elder, what should I do?"

After a long time, the Great Elder, who had closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "Isn't there already an answer in your heart?" ”

Zhao Yuntian sighed lightly, nodded slowly, and looked out the window.

From the moment he hesitated, he actually had an answer in his heart.

The Changtian Gang is an ordinary force in the land of Huguang, if there are no accidents, it will probably be like this in this life.

But he was not reconciled!

He still remembers that before his father died, he grabbed his hand and told him that he must develop and grow the Changtian Gang.

But since he became the leader of the gang, in the past ten years, not only has he not been the slightest strong, but the rivers have been declining.

By the time he arrives at his son's generation, the Changtian Gang will probably become a third-rate small force in the rivers and lakes.

This is not what he wants to see.

Zhao Yuntian stood up, his eyes flashing with unprecedented ambition.

Sometimes, it's a gamble.

If they take refuge in that Lord Lu, their outcome will not change in the slightest.

Because others don't need them at all, and they won't look down on them.

But if it takes refuge in that Lord Lin, if it succeeds, the benefits that the Changtian Gang can reap will be huge.

As for the son......

Since he is a member of the Changtian Gang, he should be ready to sacrifice for the Changtian Gang.

Zhao Yuntian looked at the Great Elder on the side and said solemnly, "Great Elder, please leave it to you in the city." ”

In order to prevent them from becoming suspicious, the people of the Changtian Gang in the city must stay.

And stay, there is a risk of death.

The Great Elder smiled freely, looked at Zhao Yuntian, and said with a smile: "For the first time since your father left, you have made me look at it squarely. ”

"I hope you can develop and grow the Changtian Gang in the future, and don't let down these more than thirty lives."

"Definitely!" Zhao Yuntian bowed solemnly.

Then he knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times with a solemn expression, got up and left resolutely.

……

Chengtianfu City.

In the Jinyi Guard,

Suddenly, a group of soldiers broke in.

In the courtyard, Lin Mang put down the secret report in his hand and looked at this scene with a frown.

looked at Tang Shouyi, who walked in, and said coldly: "Father-in-law Tang, what does this mean?" ”

Father-in-law Tang patted his clothes gently, with a gloomy smile on his white face.

"Lord Lin!"

"Our family has found that the Jinyi Guards under your command are suspected of embezzling money and abusing their power, and I hope that your lord can hand them over."

"In addition, someone reported that you killed Hu Guangbu's political envoy, Lord Yan, I hope Lord Lin can give an explanation."

"For the time being, I can only grieve Lord Lin to stay here."

After all, it is a thousand households in Jinyiwei, and he is responsible for the affairs of Jinyiwei in Huguang and Jiangxi, so it is not easy to deal with it.

Lin Mang's face sank.

Then he sneered and said: "Father-in-law Tang, you might as well ask this whistleblower to come out, regarding the matter of Yan Zhengcheng, this official has already reported to the Zhenfu Division." ”

"This matter has long been decided!"

"Really?" A hint of mockery flashed in Gonggong Tang's eyes, and he sneered: "But this matter has not yet been decided. ”

Lin Mang's face suddenly turned cold.

Crush eucalyptus!

The smile on Father-in-law Tang's face was even worse, he took out a few letters from his bosom and said with a smile: "This is evidence of corruption and murder of the Jinyi Guards under your command. ”

"Come on, take people away!"

"Lord Lin, I can only wronged you to be grounded here for a period of time."

For a while, the atmosphere suddenly became solemn and extremely depressing.

The air seemed to be filled with murderous intent.

Lin Mang snorted coldly, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "I see who dares to move!" ”

Father-in-law Tang's face turned cold, and he said quietly: "Lord Lin, do you want to disobey military regulations?" ”

"Don't forget, our family is the overseer this time!"

"The evidence is conclusive, do you still want to quibble?"

"You should understand what happens if you disobey military orders."

Gonggong Tang looked at Lin Mang meaningfully, with undisguised mockery in his eyes.

The soldiers around him, as well as several eunuchs behind him, faintly revealed murderous intentions.

"Evidence?"

Lin Mang said coldly: "Just a few pieces of waste paper, you just say it's evidence!" ”

"Then I'll get a few, can it be said that you colluded with the enemy!"

A strange color flashed in Gonggong Tang's eyes, and he sneered: "Lord Lin, don't say so much, the evidence is here, you don't have to quibble anymore." ”

Lin Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pulled out the embroidered spring knife reluctantly, and said coldly: "Gelding, you try one!" ”
