Crisscrossing the Central Plains, one hundred and fifty-eight extraneous branches
On the fourth day, the soldiers and horses of the Zhenwu Division arrived as scheduled.
Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong have not yet returned, Tu Longtian, Zhang Wanhe and several leaders in the village welcome the arrival of Xian Yu Weide.
It is still the meeting hall, and everyone is seated in priority and priority.
Tu Longtian said: "Lord Xianyu, I have discussed it with my brothers, and my Donghai Gang is willing to serve the imperial court." ”
Xian Yu Weide was quite proud, and said with a smile: "Tu Dangjia is really a hero, so knowledgeable about current affairs, but it makes Zai look at it impressively, good!" Even so, everyone rejoiced. However, what if you only say yes with your lips and disobey the instructions of the imperial court? ”
Zhang Wanhe said: "Rare for adults, but it can be clearly said. ”
Xian Yu Weide said: "This envoy happens to have something that needs to be done, and half a month later, the merchant ships of the Southern Qi Yifeng Chamber of Commerce will go north, and it will probably enter the sea area of my Great Zhou and arrive at the sphere of influence of your East China Sea Gang." The fleet departed from Huai County, went to sea through the rising river, there were official ships to escort the territory of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the Ten Thousand Boats Gang was not easy to start, and when it entered the sea area of my Great Zhou, there was no escort of the official ships of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and you still need your gang to go to plunder, and the materials obtained were opened with the imperial court. Whether to pretend to be a pirate or to do it blatantly, you can do it yourself. ”
Tu Longtian had long expected that there would be this "letter of nomination", so he said: "It is reasonable that the adults do not believe us, this matter is easy to do, and then it is enough to send someone to rob the fleet, but there is still a request below, I hope that the adults can mediate from it." ”
Xian Yu Weide snorted coldly and said, "Don't sell the Guan Zi of the Tu Boss, but let the Ten Thousand Boats Gang spit out your territory?" ”
This is rarely guessed by Weide a long time ago.
Tu Longtian said: "Yes, this is the matter, if you can't get back the previous waters, I'm afraid that the brothers will not be convinced, although they can be appeased in the future, but there will always be people who complain about the injustice of the court to me." ”
Xian Yu Weide replied: "This matter is difficult to do, but as long as you rob the fleet of Southern Qi, in the future, you will go to fight for territory with the Wanchuan Gang, and the court will not ask, and who wins and who loses depends on the ability of your two families." ”
Tu Longtian looked at Zhang Wanhe, and the two seemed to be sure to pay attention.
Tu Longtian looked at the leaders of the village present and said, "Today, the leader of this gang is determined to serve the Great Zhou court, do you still have any objections?" ”
The crowd replied, "But it's up to the master to decide." ”
"Okay." Tu Longtian said to Xian Yu Weide, and said: "Xian Yu is an adult, but you have to be true to your word. ”
Xian Yu Weide replied: "This envoy doesn't have the leisure time to play with the master, as long as you Donghai Gang sincerely serve the imperial court, you and I are our own family." ”
At this moment, there is a harmonious atmosphere in the East China Sea Gang Council, how can there be a tense look a few days ago...
Two days later, near noon, Xu Yihang came back and had a detailed discussion with Tu Longtian and Zhang Wanhe in the secret room.
Tu Longtian clasped his fists and saluted and thanked: "Thank you Brother Xu for your righteous action, words of gratitude, Tu will not say much, but in the future, if necessary, Brother Xu will speak." ”
Xu Yihang said politely: "The Tu gang leader doesn't have to be like this, even with the relationship between Brother Xing and your gang, he has to help him in the future." However, there is one thing that I ask the Tu gang leader to forgive me, and let the horse leader cheat to death in order to confuse the Zhenwu Division's eyeliner. ”
Zhang Wanhe answered: "Xu Shaoxia's move is very much in line with my wishes!" If the Zhenwu Division knows that the assassination failed, he will definitely send masters, soldiers and horses to Yanchi again, and I don't know how many brothers will die by then. ”
Tu Longtian said: "Yes, what the second brother said is very true. ”
Xu Yihang said: "That being the case, just wait for Lao Zhou's news, why hasn't this person come back yet." ”
Tu Longtian said: "According to the distance, Zhou Daxia should also come back." ”
Xu Yihang said: "Yes, don't worry about him, his man is very desperate, no matter whether he does it or not, he will come back to me." ”
Tu and Zhang didn't know the important point here, Zhou Zhong's life was pinched in Xu Yihang's hands, and without Qi Rong's life-sustaining poison, he would explode and die.
Xu Yihang said again: "Now that the head of the family has dealt with the past, what are the plans? Have you considered moving to Nanqi with the whole gang? ”
Tu Longtian said: "There are many people in the contempt gang, and it is absolutely impossible to move to Southern Qi if you want to raise a gang. ”
Zhang Wanhe said: "Yes, mines, salt ponds and other industries can be abandoned, but we can't leave the brothers, if I and a few others leave, the people who stay here will become the ghosts of Zhenwusi." ”
Xu Yihang had already thought about this matter, and said: "There is a way to do it, but it needs the cooperation of the Southern Qi side, and your gang does not want to get involved in the dispute between the two countries, but this time it must rely on the Southern Qi court." ”
Tu Longtian said: "Brother Xu, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Xu Yihang said: "You can take the opportunity of plundering the fleet of the Yifeng Chamber of Commerce to go directly to the territory of Southern Qi through the East China Sea." Your gang has more than 10 large ships and 100 small boats, which can carry more than 2,000 people. ”
Zhang Wanhe was pleasantly surprised: "Wonderful, Xu Shaoxia is really resourceful, but there are many family members, if there is a movement, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Zhenwu Division." ”
Xu Yihang said: "Yes, this matter is indeed difficult to do, but the difficulty is not that there are many people, but that the people are not aligned. ”
。。。
Half an hour later, Xu Yihang was already full of food and drink and was ready to take a nap.
Xu Yihang pinched the bamboo stick and picked his teeth, and was walking towards his guest room, but he heard someone running behind him and chasing him.
Xu Yihang turned around and saw that the person who came was Tu Longtian's cronies.
"Shaoxia, it's not good, something happened, Zhou Daxia came back covered in blood."
"What?! Where is he?! Did you alarm the rest of the gang? ”
"People are in the conference hall, Zhou Daxia acted carefully, sneaked in over the wall, and did not alarm others."
This East China Sea Gang Dazhai covers an extremely wide area, there are thousands of people and thousands of families living in it, and it is divided into two villages, the inner village is the residence of the two masters and the storehouse, the account room and other important places, the outer village is a few leaders and ordinary gangs, although there are sentry posts between the inner and outer villages, but there are no restrictions on traffic, very few people come to the inner village privately.
Xu Yihang and Zhou Zhong have been living in the guest room of the inner village for the past few days, and they have also changed into the dark blue shorts of the Donghai Gang when they walk around the village to hide people's eyes and ears.
Inner village meeting hall.
Tu Longtian and Zhang Wanhe were all there, and Zhou Zhong had multiple sword wounds and a sharp arrow stuck in his shoulder.
Tu Longtian said: "Zhou Daxia, has you encountered a hard stubble?" ”
"The boss said, alas, because of the underestimation of the enemy." Zhou Zhong replied with a sigh.
At this time, Xu Yihang rushed over, and as soon as he entered the door, he said, "Lao Zhou will talk carefully." ”
Since Zhou Zhong followed Xu Yihang to the rivers and lakes, this was the first time he had fallen on his head, and his face was a little unbearable, and he said after a while: "I followed the three leaders of the mine to the north, and I traveled forty or fifty miles all the way, and there was no killer to intercept it. On the evening of the first day, I followed him and the three of us into the roadside folk post, intending to have a good rest, but before the wine and food were eaten, I saw the leader of Natian sneakily meeting people outside the folk post. ”
Tu Longtian and Zhang Wanhe looked at each other when they heard this: "Tian Ling was also bought? ”
Zhang Wanhe said: "Tian Ling has always been reluctant to participate in the resolution of the gang, everything is based on the eldest brother, and he is cautious and thoughtful, so he was promoted to the leader in his early thirties, and he is also the only one among the expatriate leaders who supports the eldest brother to serve in the Northern Zhou." ”
Tu Longtian said: "Because of this, I plan to go to the north in person. Forget it, please ask Zhou Daxia to continue. ”
Zhou Zhong said: "It was a young man who met with Tian Touhui, and I thought that there must be a secret here, and after the two of them separated, I considered it, and followed the young man until a military camp outside Kaiyang County!" ”
Zhang Wanhe said: "Outside Kaiyang County, there is only one camp in Wusi in Chengdong Town. ”
Tu Longtian nodded.
In this space, the doctor in the village came to clean and bandage Zhou Zhong's wounds.
Xu Yihang asked, "Then how did you get into this look?" ”
Zhou Zhong replied: "Old Zhou, I wanted to enter the barracks to see if I could hear some news, but I found out as soon as I sneaked into the camp, the young man had already noticed me, and he was silent all the way to lead me to the barracks to be captured." ”
Xu Yihang said: "Lao Zhou, I'm afraid you're going to break a big deal!" ”
Zhou Zhong said: "Originally, it was easy to break out of the encirclement with my martial arts, but suddenly a rough and fierce man appeared, a pair of fleshy palms were extremely powerful, and there were soldiers and officers who were sent to sweep the formation, Lao Tzu was defeated, and it was a blessing to be able to escape." ”
Tu Longtian said: "That rough man is Xian Yu Weide!" ”
Zhang Wanhe asked: "Did Zhou Daxia get rid of the pursuers?" ”
Zhou Zhong said: "Lao Zhou, I entered the stove room by mistake and lit a fire to escape, and those people couldn't find me, and they were in a hurry to put out the fire, so no one chased me." ”
"Where's your mask?" Xu Yihang Xu Ran found that Zhou Zhong's face was clean, and the half of the mask was gone.
"Huh?" Only then did Zhou Zhong realize that the mask he had worn for a year or two had been lost, and said, "I think it fell somewhere during the fight." ”
Xu Yihang said: "That's it, it's like this, take a step at a time, but I don't know what happened to the three leaders of the mine in the north." ”
Zhang Wanhe said: "It should be fine, if the Zhenwu Division wanted to attack them, he would have done it a long time ago, but I am afraid that it is not enough to have other plans." ”
While a few people were talking, Tu Longtian's cronies broke in and said, "The master, Xian Yu Weide brought someone here!" It has entered the inner village! ”
The four people in the hall got up in shock, and Xu Yihang pulled Zhou Zhong to hide in the secret room.
Tu Longtian looked at the blood stains on the ground and the helpless doctor in the hall, and in a hurry, he pulled out the long sword on Zhang Wanhe's waist, cut his left arm with a sword, and said in a low voice: "If you don't ask about Weide, just say that you and I tried to compete and hurt me by mistake." ”
Zhang Wanhe nodded in response, and the doctor understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to treat Tu Longtian's injuries.
At this time, Xian Yu Weide strode in with a gloomy face and said, "Tu is in charge? ”
Tu Longtian pretended to be surprised and said, "Yo, what kind of wind blew the adult here?" What happened to my lord, and I was displeased? ”
Xian Yu Weide saw Tu Longtian's condition, and asked coldly, "Tu Dangjia's is being injured?" ”
Zhang Wanhe replied first: "Thank you for your concern, I accidentally injured my brother's arm when I was sparring with my brother." ”
Xian Yu Weide said: "Hmph, that's good, as long as it's not an injury from trespassing on my camp!" ”
Tu Longtian was surprised: "What do you mean, sir?" You and I both serve the imperial court, and today I came to my village like this, where did I offend the adults by slaughtering someone? ”
Xian Yu Weide's face softened slightly when he heard this, and said: "Today, a thief broke into my camp, burned my camp, and killed my officials. ”
Xian Yu Weide said and threw out an object, which was Zhou Zhong's half-section of the mask.
Xian Yu Weide said: "This thief has been here a few days ago, let me explain to me!" ”
Tu Longtian secretly said that it was not good, but Zhang Wanhe laughed and said: "The adults are suspicious, this person has indeed come, that is, on the day when the adults came to search for the strong crossbow and armor, there was a young man with him." ”
Xian Yuweide asked, "What is the surname of the two of them?" What are you doing here?! ”
Zhang Wanhe said: "The mask-wearing self-proclaimed Golden Axe Zhou Zhong, the young man called Xu Yihang, a person from Shudi, has also heard a little about it, and there are indeed such two people who have become famous in Shu in the past two years. The Southern Qi Imperial Supervisor chased and killed the gossip faction Shang Xiyun, and it was a coincidence that several brothers of the gang were accidentally injured, and the two of them escorted the injured brothers in the gang to ask for favors. ”
Zhang Wanhe told the truth like this, but it was a high-level move, even if he didn't say it, sooner or later, the identities of Xu and Erren would be found out by Xian Yu Weide, and it would not be used to win Xian Yu Weide's trust.
At this time, Tu Longtian deliberately said: "I don't know if the adults know that Ma Dacheng was killed!" ”
Xian Yu Weide pretended not to hear it, and said secretly in his heart: "Hmph! Li Chengxiao, the envoy's right-hand man, is gone! Shu people? Could it be someone from the Southern Qi court? Want to recruit the Tokai Gang too? ”
Tu Longtian nodded and did not continue to ask.
Xian Yu Weide was entangled in Li Chengxiao's whereabouts and Zhou Zhong's whereabouts, and saw that the Donghai Gang couldn't find out why he came, so he said: "Today is a reckless collision, farewell." ”
