Chen Jingtang's death quickly spread within the Seven Star Gang, from the main village to the surrounding sub-villages were all discussed, some old people began to recall the tragic past of the year, applauded Chen Jingtang's death, after all, this person had a lot of blood on his hands from the Seven Star Gang.

As for Lu Shen, the commander of the Southern Qi Dynasty who was willing to take the risk to go to Heluo City to assassinate Chen Jingtang and was frantically pursued by countless masters of the Yan Dynasty, all the old and young in the gang gave a thumbs up, and they couldn't agree with the gang leader's move to send a large number of masters to the rescue.

Everyone walks the rivers and lakes to pay attention to loyalty first, even if this move will provoke the retaliation of the Yan Dynasty, no one thinks that Lin Jie's decision is inappropriate.

"If it goes on like this, if Lu Shen comes back safely, Lin Jie can rely on the wind and waves he caused to coerce tens of thousands of people to become enemies of the Yan Dynasty."

In the dead of night, in a well-guarded room in a courtyard somewhere in the southwest corner of the village, three men sat around a table, with several plates of appetizers on the table, and each of them had a wine jug in front of him.

The person who spoke first was Shang Benyi, the master of the Fire Hall, who felt the direction of the wind in the gang in the past two days, and called the gang leader Lin Jie by his name, obviously not respecting the first person on the martial arts list in private.

Jiang Houming, who was sitting opposite him, drank a glass of wine and said lightly: "This is expected. ”

Shang Ben felt a boredom in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want him to lead everyone to the point of no return?" ”

Jiang Houming laughed silently.

Shang Benyi was unimpressed and continued: "I know the reason why Lin Jie did this. He is the leader of the Seven Stars Gang, and his prestige is extremely high in everyone's hearts. If we accept Zhao'an, others may be safe and sound, and he will definitely die. If I were the person in power in the Yan Dynasty, I would also be worried that Lin Jie would ascend to the top in the future and there would be a large number of echoes, and such a person would have to die. Based on these considerations, he definitely doesn't want to accept Zhao'an, but what about us? Do you have to follow him against the Yan Dynasty army? ”

Jiang Houming put down the wine cup, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said calmly: "He is the leader of the gang, and he is also the number one person on the martial arts list, even if you and I are unwilling, what can we do?" ”

Shang Benyi knew that Jiang Houming's henchmen were guarding the outside of this room, and he still couldn't help but lower his voice at this moment: "Brother, I said a long time ago that the position of this gang leader should be yours, Lin Jie didn't know what ecstasy soup he poured into the old gang leader, and he stole the position of the gang leader for more than ten years. If you are in power now, where will there be so many troubles, let's go directly to the Yan Dynasty. ”

Jiang Houming smiled, his eyes were as sharp as a poisonous snake, and he said slowly: "Do you really dare to do it?" ”

"I've been waiting for my brother to decide."

Shang Benyi said without thinking, grabbed a handful of peanuts and put them on the table, and said at the same time: "Brother, look, among the six hall masters, you and I don't have to talk about it. Although Lei Tang Shi Changsheng helped Lu Shen speak the day before yesterday, as long as we grasp the overall situation, he will not sacrifice his life to avenge Lin Jie. There are three left, Lin Tang Ran Xuanzhi's martial arts are mediocre and negligible, most of his people are used to holding abacus rather than weapons, only Shantang Dong Mian and Yin Tang Qi Lianfu are more tricky. ”

The Seven Star Gang and the Six Halls stand side by side, Feng Tang Jiang Houming is in charge of the rewards and punishments, Lin Tang Ran Xuan is in charge of the external industry, Yin Tang Qi Lianfu is in charge of intelligence spying, Huotang Shangben is in charge of the green forest, Dong Mian of the Mountain Hall is in charge of the general village guard, and Lei Tang Shi Changsheng is in charge of the money and food in the Gang.

There are also seven stewards, who are responsible for managing the seven sub-villages on the periphery, like a seven-star chess cloth guarding the main village.

The status of Qi Lianfu, the hall master of the Yin Hall, in Lin Jie's mind is not weaker than Dong Mian, but this hall master Shenlong does not see the head and the tail, and generally does not stay in the mountains, except for Lin Jie, no one knows where he is hiding.

Jiang Houming heard the meaning of Shang Benyi's words, and rubbed the wine cup indifferently.

Shang Benyi hit the railway while it was hot: "Now that Lin Jie asked Dong Mian to take away most of the masters to rescue Lu Shen, Qi Lianfu must still be outside, and there are not many loyal subordinates around him." If this opportunity is missed, it is almost impossible to kill him. ”

Jiang Houming was noncommittal, turned his head to look at his henchman Lu Yanguang who was sitting on the other side, and asked, "Where did Dong Mian and Lin Xi go?" ”

Lu Yanguang replied: "Back to the hall master, they led people west into Yanchao Henan Road, our people didn't dare to follow too closely, but we can be sure that these people have left the sphere of influence of our Seven Star Gang." ”

Seeing this, Shang Ben asked, "Brother is worried that this matter is fraudulent?" ”

"You and I both know what a hero Lin Jie is, how many people can take advantage of him over the years?" Jiang Houming laughed at himself and said softly: "I do have concerns about this. It is not uncommon for Lu Shen to be chased and killed by the masters of the Yan Dynasty, but Lin Jie sent his henchmen out so simply, much like inviting you into the urn. If we don't make a move, Lin Jie won't dare to act recklessly, after all, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes in the gang are watching. But if we fall for his calculations and rush to assassinate us, he will have a reason to kill us completely. ”

Shang Benyi shook his head and said, "Foolish brother doesn't think so. It was mentioned by his brother that Lu Shen should assassinate Chen Jingtang, and it was reasonable that he was pursued by the masters of the Yan Dynasty after killing Chen Jingtang. In terms of head-on confrontation, Lu Shen and those people are definitely not the enemies of the masters of the Yan Dynasty. In this way, it all makes sense, why should my brother look ahead and backward? ”

Jiang Houming was silent for a moment, then frowned: "Even if Dong Mian, Qi Lianfu and Lin Xi are not in the main village, Lin Jie is not alone, and once we can't kill him quickly, how can we deal with the follow-up trouble?" As long as he can leave a breath and climb the heights, will the thousands of people in this mountain believe him or us? ”

Shang Ben sighed, he also knew the difficulty of sneaking up on Lin Jie, he couldn't openly surround the gang leader's mansion with a group of people, and even if they dared to do this, who would be sure to kill the number one person on the martial arts list who had reached the pinnacle of martial arts in an instant?

"So what to do? Watching him lead us to a dead end? ”

Shang Ben picked up the wine cup and drank it all, and said quite resentfully.

Jiang Houming lifted the pot to pour wine for him: "Don't worry, wait later." ”

Shang Benyi hurriedly asked, "Wait?" What are you waiting for? ”

Jiang Houming didn't answer, and the two of them drank with one mind.

In the middle of the moon, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then a man walked into the house quickly, came to the front and said to Jiang Houming: "Hall master, there is news." ”

Shang Benyi looked at it curiously, and saw that it was a henchman named Jiang Zhen next to Jiang Houming, and he saw that he was in the dust.

Jiang Houming said: "Speak." ”

Jiang Zhen glanced at Shang Benyi with a slight hesitation.

Seeing this, Jiang Houming said: "Master Shangtang is his own person, so there is no need to lie. ”

Jiang Zhen lowered his head and said, "Yes." Lord Liu Jingzhi did not return to the capital of Dongyang Road, he had been waiting outside the mountain. Today, he informed his subordinates that His Royal Highness the County Lord ordered us to cooperate with the masters outside the mountain to attack and kill the Lin Gang Leader! ”

Shang Ben's energy was lifted, and his eyes lit up.

Jiang Houming asked calmly: "Be specific." ”

Jiang Zhen said: "His Royal Highness the County Lord handed over this matter to Lord Wang of the Prosecutor's Office and General Li of Dongyang Road, and at the same time sent several top masters under his command to help. Her Royal Highness said that at that time, someone will lead the Lin Gang Master into the palace, and she hopes that the hall master will unite with our manpower, and after the Lin Gang Master is tricked, we should work together to kill the Lin Gang Master. ”

Jiang Houming stood up when he heard this, pacing slowly in the room, his expression uncertain.

Jiang Zhen relayed these words, there is a very key information, in addition to him Jiang Houming, there is a line related to the Yan Dynasty within the Seven Star Gang, but this line is extremely hidden, and even he has not found any clues so far.

His Royal Highness the County Lord meant that another secret hand within the Seven Star Gang would lead Lin Jie into the Jedi, and then send top masters to infiltrate the main village, and then join forces with Jiang Houming and others to kill Lin Jie before the others could react.

As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Houming stopped, turned around and asked, "Did Liu Jingzhi explain who would lead the Lin Gang Leader into the city?" ”

Jiang Zhen shook his head and said, "Lord Liu said that in order to prevent the leakage of secrets, His Highness does not allow him to say that name. ”

Jiang Houming frowned and said, "Then how do we cooperate?" ”

Jiang Zhen said: "Lord Liu said that the time to start the move is set for the evening of four days, and someone will come to inform the hall master with a code. He said that the hall master could use these few days to gather all the credible forces and wait for that night to come. ”

Jiang Houming bowed slightly, then looked at Shang Benyi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Shang Ben raised his hand and pointed to the dishes on the table, and said meaningfully: "Brother, if you follow Lin Jie on that desperate road, let's not talk about eating meat and drinking wine in the future, I'm afraid we will starve to death in the deep mountains and old forests." Instead of being forced into a desperate situation, it is better to give up your life! After killing Lin Jie, the elder brother can take over the power with the support of the Yan Dynasty, and you are the nephew of the old gang leader, and it is justifiable to take over the throne of the gang leader! At that time, our Seven Star Gang will accept Zhao'an, and glory and wealth will be at your fingertips! ”

A smile appeared on Jiang Houming's face, and he said lightly: "Brother Chengxian Jiyan, I will definitely not live up to your trust in the future." ”

Shang Ben bowed together and said respectfully, "Thank you for the helper!" ”

The smile on Jiang Houming's face became thicker and thicker, and he said kindly: "You and I will act separately, except for the henchmen around each other, I will go to win over Second Uncle Gui, and you go to find Sixth Uncle Qian, these two will definitely not stand on Lin Jie's side." All in all, since we have decided to make a move, we must spare no effort and not give Lin Jie the slightest chance to survive. ”

Shang Benyi said with a straight face: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

……

In the south of the Baotai Mountains, in Gushu County, Dongyang Road, Yan Dynasty, in a private house in Beicheng, Dian looked at two men with almost identical faces, and said indifferently: "Liu Jingzhi has already informed the people in the mountains to start in four days." We will leave tomorrow afternoon, and we will be able to rush to the headquarters of the Seven Star Gang. ”

The two men glanced at each other and said in unison, "Only kill Lin Jie?" ”

Dian Madman's eyes narrowed slightly: "The head of the first person on the martial arts list can't satisfy you?" ”

The man on the left said: "We just think that it is a bit of a waste of time for the prince and His Royal Highness to put so much effort into killing Lin Jie alone in the end, and to continue to deal with that group of bandits." ”

The madness was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "If this trip goes well, after killing Lin Jie, of course we will slaughter the high-ranking members of the Seven Star Gang." ”

The man on the right asked, "How to kill?" ”

Dian said wildly: "Kill Lin Jie first, then let them kill each other, and then we will clean up the mess." ”

The two men are twin siblings, the one on the left is the elder brother named Shan Tian, and the one on the right is the younger brother named Shan Di.

They are just 30 years old this year, and they have been accompanying Qing Yugong before, and this is the first time that the two have come to Dongyang Road.

When Shan Tian heard this, he smiled and said: "There is still His Highness's internal response in the mountain, what are you going to do with it?" ”

The corners of the maniac's mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a bloodthirsty look in his eyes, and he said quietly: "Of course, they are killed together, so that His Highness can avoid troubles." ”

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and nodded at the same time: "Great goodness." ”

Seeing that the twins seemed to look down on the green forests and grass in the north, they solemnly reminded: "Lin Jie's reputation as the first person on the martial arts list is not in vain, I will strike first, and the two of you will attack from the side." Remember not to underestimate the enemy and not give him a chance to fight back. If this matter can't be done, the prince can say that His Royal Highness will definitely not be able to spare you. ”

When the two of them heard the last sentence, their hearts sank, and they got up and arched their hands: "Brother Dian, don't worry, we will definitely go all out." ”

The maniac nodded, and slowly walked to the window to stare at the bright moon in the night, his eyes were extremely sharp.

Over the years, he has traveled to the world in the name of looking for Wei Chigui, and he has gradually become tired of the experience of that year, but he knows that without Qingyu Huaijin's permission, it will be difficult for him to enjoy a peaceful life.

This is the person in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself.

Now that he finally saw a glimmer of hope for a change in the status quo, he would never allow the opportunity to slip away from him.

Therefore, Lin Jie must die.
