Volume 3 Vertical and Horizontal Donglu Chapter 222 Persuading Confucius

Han Shi took out his long knife and kicked down the corpse of the sect boss, ignoring it, and asked with some hesitation, "Lord Yi... Is it okay to be with Qin for two days? ”

Wang Xuan dragged the coachman's body out from under the carriage, picked up a broad knife from the side, and dug a pit on the side of the road, apparently trying to bury the coachman.

Wang Xuan beckoned, and everyone stepped forward to help dig the pit together, Wang Xuan did not refuse, there was no sadness on his face, no joy, just quietly digging the pit.

There were a large number of people, but it took a little half a day to bury the coachman in the pit for burial, and then insert the coachman's horsewhip as a tombstone.

"Such a small whip, it will be gone in a few days." Han Shi scratched his head and said.

"I'm doing my best at this moment, and I can't keep him for thousands of years, right?" Wang Xuan patted the dust on his body, got into the carriage, packed the luggage on the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, picked up the wooden box, and walked towards Qucheng on foot.

Han Shi immediately chased after him: "Hey, if you don't sit in a car, what are you going?" ”

Wang Xuan replied: "I don't know how to drive, if this horse doesn't listen to the order, and hits or falls me, and it delays things, I'll still walk safely." ”

Han Shi stood dumb in place, looking at Wang Xuan's distant back and didn't know what to say. The younger brother behind him followed: "Brother Han, this person is too real..."

"Yes, save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, brothers, keep up!" Han Shi jumped into the carriage, and the little brother who was standing close to him also jumped up a few.

Han Shi drove the carriage to Wang Xuan's side and said, "Just your way of walking, when you get there, the matter will already be yellow, get in the car, I'll send you there." ”

Wang Xuan didn't squirm when he heard this, the bandits in the car all jumped down, and a powerful bandit picked up Wang Xuan and sent him to the car: "Sit down, Xiao Xiucai." ”

Wang Xuan was not annoyed when he heard Xiao Xiucai's title, he smiled faintly, Han Shi flicked his horsewhip and led a group of bandits to Qucheng with a roar.

On the city wall of Jicheng, Yi Xiaodao was still standing there, like an old pine, looking into the distance. Fifty or sixty disciples of the Tiger Spring Gang were sent out, but none of them came back, and none of them came to join them...

"Lord Yi... Now it's still too late to go to the city of Japan. ”

Yi Xiaodao turned his head along the way, Yang Sixiao stood behind him, trying to straighten his body, but he still couldn't hide a trace of old age between his eyebrows.

"Six hundred years, that's really too long... For a long time, the people of Donglu don't know whether the co-owner of the world is surnamed Xu or Zhao. Although there is a great Confucian sect of Confucius in Donglu, the people of Donglu are ignorant... Hehehe, let the adults laugh..."Yang Sixiao said.

Yi Xiaodao didn't speak, he remembered the uncle who was going to make him a bun; I thought of the little girl who was going to have dinner in Richeng, and I remembered the scene where the people and bandits outside Richeng were all about to join the army...

"The people of Donglu are also very good, I like it very much." Yi Xiaodao smiled.

Under the city, someone ran up the city wall in a few steps, and Qin Xiangqian rushed to report the news: "Master Yi, something is wrong, Dongfang Ming is gone!" ”

Yi Xiaodao caught up and asked, "How could it be gone?" Can you still run away in the prison with chains? ”

"I had just passed by outside the prison and smelled blood, so I went in and took a look. Dozens of soldiers of the Shangwu Battalion guarding the cell have been killed, and in the cell, Dongfang Ming is gone! Qin Xiangqian told what he knew.

"Quick, strictly guard the gates of the city, gather the people, that madman escaped is not a joke!" Yi Xiaodao also panicked.

Yang Sixiao stood aside and touched his beard and asked, "Dare to ask this hero, those soldiers in the martial arts camp, were killed... What time is it? ”

"It looks like it's almost two hours, and it's winter, so I can't say... But at least for more than an hour! "Qin Xiang moved back.

"Master Yi, I don't think it's necessary. Dongfang Ming must have escaped from the city. Yang Sixiao stroked his beard and said.

Yi Xiaodao asked with some suspicion, "How does Lord Yang know?" ”

Yang Sixiao chuckled and said: "With his temperament, the first thing he did when he escaped was to make a mess, and no matter how bad it was, he had to find an adult to compare himself again." It's been an hour, and I don't know that he's out of the city! ”

"But the gates of all four cities are strictly guarded, and the Yulin Army strictly checks the entry and exit of Jicheng, and no suspicious characters are found." Qin Xiangqian was a little puzzled.

Yang Sixiao stared at Yi Xiaodao's eyes and said, "Master Yi, is it really strictly checked?" As he spoke, he glanced at the city, and a disciple of the Huquan Gang happened to ride out of the city, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest in front of him, and he didn't know where he went.

Yi Xiaodao suddenly understood!

"Damn the Tiger Springs Gang!" Qin Xiangqian was not as smart as Yi Xiaodao, and his reaction was a little slower, but at this time, he also understood, and he was about to go to the Huquan Gang to settle accounts with his gun.

"Don't go, come back." Yi Xiaodao called Qin Xiangqian: "It's my fault in this matter, it's because I trust them too much." ”

Yang Sixiao nodded and said: "It's really not appropriate to settle accounts with them at this time, and the Huquan Gang is not really on the same line as the Dongfang family, it's just that Yu Wanfu came back to his senses and was afraid of Dongfang Zhong." If you go at this time, you can only push the Tiger Spring Gang to Dongfang Zhong completely. ”

"They all let Dongfang Ming go, aren't they still on the same line?" Qin Xiangqian asked rhetorically.

Yang Sixiao stroked his beard with a smile: "The Huquan Gang let Dongfang Ming go, but they are still staying in Jicheng." If we win, we can't find evidence, and others have merit, how can we go to them to settle accounts? If we lose, on the side of Dongfang Zhong, there is also a credit for letting Dongfang Ming go, and there will be no delay. ”

Yi Xiaodao heard Yang Sixiao say this, and only then did he understand Yu Wanfu's true thoughts. That day, he pretended to only look at the three of them, and finally took the initiative to stop Yi Xiaodao, it turned out that he was not afraid, but deliberately gave the two sides a step down. It's ridiculous that I thought I really bluffed others, but I didn't know that I was actually the one who was being played around.

"Master Yi, then what are we waiting for here? The Tiger Spring Gang can let Dongfang Ming go, how can these disciples in the gang help us recruit other gangs in Donglu? If he brings other gangs and attacks us, then it will be dangerous! Qin Xiangqian said.

Yi Xiaodao didn't respond, but said, "Go and call Xue Mang." ”

Qin Xiangqian understood that Yi Xiaodao had no idea, and once he had no idea, he would find Xue Mang to calculate a hexagram.

Qin Xiangqian was a little incomprehensible, abandoning the city and leaving was the best choice, why was Yi Xiaodao unwilling? It's not that he's worried about himself, he's just worried that the soldiers and horses will kill, and he won't be able to protect Yi Xiaodao.

Soon, Qin Xiangqian took Xue Mang to the city wall, Yi Xiaodao stared at Xue Mang, Xue Mang didn't say a word, threw out the copper coin and divined.

"The result?" Yi Xiaodao was a little anxious, he doubted himself for the first time, doubted his thoughts, and doubted his decision.

Xue Mang glanced at it, paused, and said with a smile: "Master Yi, guard this city!" ”

Yi Xiaodao breathed a sigh of relief, his decision was still right, he understood that Xue Mang's divination could not tell the details in the middle, and he could only divinate the results, whether it was good or bad, whether it was good or bad, whether it was good or bad. I don't ask questions, as long as the hexagram shows that it is right to stay in this city.

Xue Mang turned to Qin Xiangqian and said, "Brother Qin, I still need you to go to Jicheng." ”

"Wang Xuan is in danger? What should Qin Xiangqian do? Qin Xiangqian looked at Yi Xiaodao, and Yi Xiaodao's heart was pinched again.

Xue Mang shook his head: "It's not Wang Xuan, it's something else." Brother Qin will know when he goes. ”

Yi Xiaodao nodded to Qin Xiangqian, Qin Xiangqian walked down the city tower without saying a word with his gun, Xue Mang bowed to Yi Xiaodao and Yang Sixiao, and also left the city wall.

Yang Sixiao stroked his beard and smiled: "Master Yi is extremely smart, a few flaws are nothing, who can be without fault?" Hehehe..."

Yi Xiaodao smiled briefly at Yang Sixiao, looked at the back of Xue Mang who went downstairs, and frowned and thought.

Qucheng, about a month ago, there were more than 30,000 people in the south gate to set up a formation, bluffing the hearts of the people in Qucheng. Today, there is also a team outside the north gate, this team is not much, less than 100 people, but it also makes Qucheng frightened.

Without him, just for the scholar outside the North Gate, he was alone, standing by the North Gate Suspension Bridge, holding a wooden box, and a human head was lying quietly in the wooden box: Dongfang Ming.

"Cao Min Wang Xuan, I came to Confucius Gate on the order of Lord Yi, and invited the Master of Confucius Gate to meet." Wang Xuan shouted loudly.

The news came to Qucheng, and soon, Kong Cai came to the city wall surrounded by his five sons and a group of Confucian disciples, and there was also Qucheng County Commander behind him, Fan Teng.

"Wang Xuan, what are you coming from?" Kong Cai asked, standing on the city wall.

Wang Xuan held the wooden box in his hand and said loudly: "Lord Yi and the traitors of the Dongfang family fought in Jicheng and won a big victory!" Kill the third son of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Ding, now the head is here, and please take a look at the master of Confucius. Yi Daren knows that the prestige of Confucius is the best in Donglu, and he hopes that the master of Confucius will help him, and he will order all gangs to gather in Jicheng and discuss major matters! ”

Kong Cai squinted his eyes and smiled: "Uneducated boy, you don't hide it from me!" It has not been a day or two since Confucius was in Donglu, and I also know about Jicheng. Although Lord Yi won a big victory, Dongfang Zhong fled out of the city, and the victory or defeat was not known. Please reply to Master Yi, Kong needs to focus on the thousand-year-old foundation of the Kong family! ”

These naked words made Han Shi and the others grit their teeth, but Wang Xuan was not angry or annoyed, and continued to say loudly: "Hahahaha, Wang Xuan is a boy who has no learning, but he is not known as Guan Donglu, the Confucian family that has survived for thousands of years, and there can still be a fool like the master of Confucius." ”

"What did you say!" Kong Ren and Kong Yi's two sons were about to get angry and ask: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, you won't be able to leave Qucheng!" ”

Others may be bragging when they say this, but the eldest son and the second son of Kong Men said this, and there was no one in the city who did not believe it.

Wang Xuan ignored the two, and was not afraid of many people, and continued: "It is normal for the master of Confucius to want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. If Confucius is a small country sect, thirty or fifty people, it is indeed possible. But Confucius is entrenched in Donglu and is a thousand-year-old family. Today, the two don't help each other, or Yi Daren wins, or Dongfang Zhongsheng, no matter which side wins, does the master of Confucius think that the two families will not be angry at Confucius for not helping each other in time? ”

"Taking a step back, even if the two are not angry with Confucius, can Confucius, as in the past, continue to be proud of Donglu and become famous? Oh, I'm afraid that by then, when the three-year-old child arrives in Qucheng, he will spit and scold a 'coward', right? ”

Kong Cai was struck by lightning and was shocked on the spot. Indeed, if you don't help each other, if Yi Xiaodao wins, will you still ignore Kongmen? When you return to Beijing and return truthfully, how does Confucius deal with herself? If Dongfang Zhong wins, I'm afraid it will inevitably come to Qucheng Xingshi to ask for guilt...

Kong Cai was disturbed by Wang Xuan's words, and turned back to his five sons: "What do you think?" ”

The eldest son, Kong Ren, and the second son, Kong Yi, although they were older, had few ideas, and they were asked on the spot at this time. Although the third son Kong Li and the fourth son Kong Zhi are usually unruly, they dare not speak out about this kind of major event that affects the thousand-year-old foundation of the Kong family, and they bow their heads and are silent.

Kong Cai sighed, knowing that it was a little unwise to ask such a family affair to his sons. The fifth son, Kong Xin, took a step forward and said, "Father, if Lord Yi is defeated, will the imperial court send other people such as Lord Jian and Lord Yan to come..."

Wang Xuan saw that there was no response from the city, so he turned around and left, everything that should be said was finished, and it was just a repetition of words, meaningless.

Han Shi and the others were also very angry, because of Qin's two days, Han Shi did not have a good impression of Kongmen, and he walked in a hurry.

Behind him, the gate of Qucheng was wide open, and countless disciples of Confucius rushed out of Qucheng on horseback, scattering to various places.

The speed and the number of people are far better than the Tiger Spring Gang.
