Chapter 323: Twenty-Four Friends

Yang Shucheng and the three of them walked along the avenue, towards the southeast, and walked for a few days, Cao Fengying and Cheng Tuding did not chase after them, indicating that the decision of the three was right, Cao Cheng and the two would not have thought that these three people would run for their lives, no longer scurrying around in the deep mountains and old forests as before, but swaggering on the avenue.

Walked to a market town, after eating, considering that Leng Qichuan was old, traveled long distances, and couldn't walk, he hired a board car, and the boy who pulled the car was reluctant to go far, saying that he had met Qing soldiers and would rob his board car.

In the end, it was agreed that he would stop doing it wherever he went, and he could leave at any time.

The group continued to the southeast.

Walking to the Anlu boundary, the kid pulling the cart said that there were Qing soldiers in front of him and wanted to turn around. Yang Shucheng settled the salary, and the kid pulled the car back.

The three of them continued to walk forward.

In the afternoon of the next day, I came to the outside of Anlu City.

Yang Shucheng said: "There are Qing soldiers stationed in the city. Let's stay outside the city for the night, and then we'll go back into the city tomorrow morning. ”

Of course, the two of them depend on him, Yang Shucheng has been walking the rivers and lakes for several years, and he also has some experience in the rivers and lakes.

The three of them left the avenue, walked into the mountain path, walked up a hill, and stood on the mountain, and could see Anlu City.

There happened to be an ancient temple on the side of the mountain, which was dilapidated due to the war, and tonight there was finally a shelter to shelter from the wind and frost.

The three of them walked into the temple. This temple is so dilapidated that there is not even a plaque, I don't know what kind of ancient temple it is.

Walking in, the grass inside is more than one person high, but fortunately there is a small path in the middle, and the three of them follow the path and walk into the Daxiong Treasure Palace. The house of this main hall has not collapsed, and the head of the Buddha statue has already been broken into countless pieces and fallen to the ground, and there are several statues on both sides that have not fallen, but they are also unrecognizable.

The ground was still very clean, and there were a few stones that were still clean, as if someone had just sat down, and the three of them did not care, so they sat down on the stones, ate some dry food, and prepared to spend the night here.

At night, the three of them sat against the wall, walked all day, did not bother to speak, closed their eyes and slept, but they did not fall asleep.

The autumn moon outside the hall hung high, sprinkling a light like frost and snow, and there were a few autumn insects chirping in all directions.

At this time, Wang Huaguo suddenly shouted, "Someone is coming." ”

Yang Shucheng didn't fall asleep, he listened to it, where was there a human voice?

"Is it the wind?" Leng Qi said.

"No, I can hear you clearly, it's two people coming."

"Let's hide first. Seeing that this place is so clean, maybe there will be a master a long time ago, and when people come back, they don't know whether they are friends or foes. Yang Shucheng analyzed.

Of course, the two listened to him, Yang Shucheng asked Leng Qichuan to hide behind the statue, and the other two hid next to the statues on both sides.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before I heard footsteps.

It turned out that this Wang Huaguo did not dare to bear the life entrustment of the old monk, for fear of forgetting the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", and dreaming of reciting the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" at night, for such a long time, the true qi flowed away in the whole body, although he was unconscious, the martial arts were advancing by leaps and bounds, and he was already reborn.

He is now deaf and clear-sighted, and even Yang Shucheng is inferior to him.

The three of them hid behind the statue, thinking that Cao Fengying and Cheng Tuding were coming, where did they dare to move, and the silence was terrifying.

The footsteps did not stop, and the autumn grass rattled, and sure enough, it was like two people coming over. The three of them were so frightened that they almost stopped breathing.

In the blink of an eye, the two men walked into the main hall. But when they came in, they sat down on the stones. Where did Yang Shucheng and the three of them dare to open their eyes and take a look.

The man who came did not speak. After a while, the smell of beef wafted out, and the two of them ran to the broken temple in the middle of the night, and it turned out that they had come to eat beef.

That Wang Huaguo smelled the beef, and endured it strongly, for fear that his stomach would not be angry and make a gurgling sound.

Thankfully, they finished eating quickly.

At this time, footsteps sounded from all directions in the distance, and it seemed that there were many people coming. The three of them didn't dare to move, if they fought, where would they be opponents.

Cao Fengying suffered a loss last time, and she didn't want to call so many people this time to deal with herself.

Soon, more than a dozen people came, all pouring into the hall, crowded, and shouted to the one who had come before:

"Big brother."

The eldest brother just snorted and motioned for everyone to sit down. The minions sat up straight in front of the Buddha statue, and almost found the three of them.

The eldest brother asked, "Why didn't Yang Huaque come?" ”

One of them replied, "He has something to do, and he will come right away." ”

The eldest brother snorted and said, "This Yang Huaque will have bad things sooner or later." ”

"Big brother is right, I'll find an opportunity to persuade him."

"He is a person who loves adultery and fornication, and harms the reputation of our twenty-four friends."

"The eldest brother said that he wanted something bad, so it was better to break up with him as soon as possible."

The eldest brother said: "Although he has this hobby, but after all, he is of the same heart as us, we were righteous back then, and we were the twenty-four friends who were famous in the rivers and lakes, and we can't turn our faces with him." He is still a good brother to us. ”

"Big brother, he hasn't come so late, can you wait for him?"

The eldest brother said: "Don't wait for him, he also knows today's plan, we will act on time, and the brothers in the city are still waiting for us." If we don't get there on time, our brothers in the city will suffer. ”

"Yes."

The eldest brother said: "The millions of cattle in the city, colluding with the Qing soldiers and Tartars, harming my friends in the rivers and lakes, is a well-known traitor lackey, we go tonight, we can't be merciful, kill his whole family, and burn his house." ”

"Yes."

"Let's go."

A group of people ran out of the temple like a gust of wind.

There was no sound in the temple at all, and no one on the other side was left, after Yang Shucheng walked out of the statue, he ran out of the temple, stood on a high place, and watched the group of people run towards An Lu City.

Behind him, Leng Qichuan and Wang Huaguo followed.

Yang Shucheng said: "Lord Leng, this group of people specializes in killing traitors, and they are also heroes. ”

"Yes, it would be nice if they were used to unite and deal with the Qing soldiers together."

Yang Shucheng said: "This is easy to do. I'll go after them, and if they're in danger, I'll help them, and they'll probably listen to us." ”

Leng Qi preached: "It seems that it can only be like this, now the Qing army is large, and people with lofty ideals are afraid of their prestige, and they dare not act rashly, if they gather again, it is not easy, and if they wait a little longer, they are stable, I don't know how many Han people will be slaughtered." ”

Yang Shucheng instructed Wang Huaguo to continue to protect Leng Qichuan in the temple, and he flew and ran down the mountain.

The moonlight was very bright tonight, and Yang Shucheng performed Taiqing light skills, rushing straight down the mountain like a white smoke.

Soon caught up with the group and followed from a distance.

The group ran forward, but they didn't expect someone to follow behind them. They ran forward without looking back, and soon came to the wall of Anlu.

The wall of Anlu was not high, and the group could not fly up to the top of the city, but one of them learned the chirping of night birds, "Woo...... Woo, ......", a long sound, sent through the city.

Then, the sound of birds sounded in the city. After a while, a man's face appeared on the top of the city, and he looked down, and when he saw that he knew them all, he hung down a rope.

There were more than a dozen men in the city, and they climbed up the city wall with ropes, all carrying bright steel knives behind their backs.

When this group of people went to the city and disappeared, Yang Shucheng ran forward, jumped up, stepped onto the city wall, grabbed a gap in the city bricks, and then used light skills, pulled onions on dry land, and easily jumped onto the city.
