Chapter 123: Plain Red Flower

After the fourth watch, a large number of people poured in the village. The sound of footsteps, the sound of horses' hooves, mixed with the whispers of the crowd, the neighing of horses, the clash of swords, and the shining of torches. Under the disturbance, there were dogs barking and chickens crowing, children screaming, all kinds of movements came together, and suddenly the small village was overturned.

Liu Qichan, Ku Shui, and Bao Hong Huangjian were unable to lie down to show their disdain, and Chu, Qu, and Gui took Yao Shun and the two maids to hide behind the wall behind the door and peek. Seeing that the people who came were all dressed up as Jianghu people, they were all good horses, and they had all kinds of weapons, and they could always see the weak light sword unique to the Kongtong faction, it seemed that they had arrived after all, but I didn't know if they had not hidden Sayi in person.

When it was dark, Liu Qichan slowly got up and tasted tea with bitter water. After the hour, after breakfast, the group took a sword and headed for Peak 2.

As soon as I went out, I saw the figure on the top of the peak shaking, and there was a faint sound of Qiang flute playing. Liu Qichan sneered a few times, twisted his neck, and let out a long howl in the direction of the peak, and the scream came out, and the leaves on the trees on both sides of the road were pulling and pulling rapidly, as if there was a strong wind blowing. The leaves are still swirling, the figures on the peak have stopped, and the sound of the flute has suddenly stopped.

Scratched by his whistling, Yao Shun and the two maids couldn't take a step anymore, and they supported each other so that they didn't fall on the spot. Gui Hongxuan slapped the two of them twice on the back, and the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief, stood in place and closed their eyes for a moment before walking again.

Gui Hongyu said: "Dao Chief, are you the lion roaring kung fu of Buddhism?"

Liu Qichan said coldly: "I'm not a lion's roar, I'm just a donkey barking." ”

Kushui smiled: "It's better to be a donkey, a donkey is easy to feed, you can eat grass as long as you have grass, and you can still do your work, not like a lion who eats white food, but also has to eat meat." ”

Liu Qichan said: "Donkeys are vegetarians, and lions eat meat." He sneered and said, "It seems that donkeys are closer to Buddhism." "This monk is an unrestrained person, and when he has a thought in his heart, he has to say a few jokes with half-truths and half-falsehoods.

Qu Lingyu said: "Dao Chief, Master Kushui is holding you everywhere and saying, why do you still say that donkeys are closer to Buddhism?"

Liu Qichan said: "He is only holding a donkey, not my donkey." Girl, you have too much heart. People in the world often use bald donkeys to scold people, in my opinion, but really wronged donkeys, donkeys can also do work in addition to vegetarian food, bald donkeys in addition to pretending to be a faΓ§ade to eat a little vegetarian to show people, no work at all, even a donkey is not as good. ”

Kushui said: "The donkey is not a bald donkey, the bald donkey is not a monk, the monk is not bitter water, and the bitter water is not me." ”

Gui Hongyu said: "Master, listening to you is much more interesting than Liu Daochang." When I have some free time, I will go to your monastery for a few days and listen to you. ”

Kushui smiled: "This can't be considered interesting, it has to be regarded as pretending to be a ghost and playing tricks." ”

The group talked about it and went straight to the top. More than 200 people have gathered on the Bald Stone Mountain, Liu Chunjie, Mo Chuying, Mei Zhanfeng, Liu Ji, Yan Guinian and others have all arrived, and the rest of the people are mostly the leaders of the various factions in the northwest who have recently attached themselves. The Iron Boat Gang is far away in Yangzhou, the southeast, and its new gang leader Guo Jianming is also in the middle, which is very eye-catching. In addition, what is a little strange is that there is no one from the old camp in Tianxi, let alone Yao Dapeng, the owner of the left camp.

The Kongtong faction placed two long rows of seats on the top of the peak, one east and one west, and there was a tea table in front of the chair, and the tea cups and tea tables on the table were complete. The fight was originally proposed by Qu Guanghan, and the Kongtong faction came late, but it was completely a master's faction.

Liu Qichan sneered: "We're not dead yet, they are pretending to be arrogant like this." Look at this way, if we want to die, they will gain power, and they will be forced to collect the money, and they don't know how they will toss, and they will never use it to help any poor people. ”

Kushui smiled: "People call this paying attention to etiquette. There is tea for you to drink, and you still have to pick other people's no, you are too good at wronging people. ”

Mo Chuying came over and led everyone to a row of chairs to the west to take a seat, claiming that he had not yet arrived, but he would definitely come. The words "out of the English" on his cheeks are deeply imprinted, and it is really difficult for him to see Liu Qichan, the enemy who started the attack, to make a casual appearance. Liu Qichan didn't look at him at all, as if he had never seen this person at all.

Liu Qichan had only drunk two sips of tea, Guo Jianming walked out of the crowd, came to Chu Qingliu and hugged his fist, and said: "Chu Daxia, you came here today to protect the father and daughter of the Qu family of the Chaotic Alliance, and I came today to avenge the brothers of the Iron Boat Gang." ”

"Although Mr. Jiang Yuefu, the father-in-law of Chu Daxia, is also in charge of the docks of the Iron Boat Gang, he has never joined the gang, and he was killed by the Chaos Alliance, but I should not be in charge. That being said, Mr. Jiang still has a bit of old feelings with the Iron Boat Gang, and I just want to inquire and ask on behalf of the brothers in the Gang. May I ask Chu Daxia: You have also pursued it for so long, can you avenge Mr. Jiang? The revenge of killing your father is not the same as the sky, and the revenge of killing your father-in-law should be about the same. You let go of your father-in-law's great revenge and did not take revenge, but instead ran for the enemy, although you can also have a good reputation for affection in the future, but there will definitely be people who will say that you are ungrateful, can you really not care at all?"

Chu Qingliu said: "Are you finished? If you finish speaking, go back." Today's incident is only related to the absence of Sayi alone. ”

Guo Jianming said: "Two more sentences will be over." Chu Qingliu, if it weren't for the iron boat to help you save you, you would have been buried underwater before you were one year old, and without your stepfather Jiang Yuefu Mr. Jiang to raise you, you wouldn't have grown up. The Iron Boat Gang was slaughtered by the Rebel Alliance, and Mr. Jiang was killed by the Rebel Alliance, you can bear to ignore it, and you are embarrassed to show off in front of others. I'm done, you can kill me. ”

Chu Qingliu said: "You also know that no matter what words you say, I will not kill you, retreat." ”

Qu Lingyu said indifferently: "If I hadn't hidden Sayi or Huang Changbo, I would have killed this Guo Jianming a long time ago, and then killed all the people of the Iron Boat Gang." ”

Gui Hongqi said: "Kill all the people of the Iron Boat Gang? Why? They are a family now." ”

Liu Qichan smiled and said: "What's so difficult to understand about this? If there was no Iron Boat Gang to rescue Chu Qingliu in the first place, no one would have come out today to break the matter of not hiding Sayi." Without Chu Qingliu, I, Liu Qichan, would not have come to this barren mountain to hang out, Master Kushui would not have come, and you Gui Girl would not have come. In the final analysis, it was their iron boat gang that did a lot of things and saved Chu Qingliu's life. If I don't kill the Iron Boat Gang, how can I get rid of this evil breath in my heart? Therefore, if I kill the Iron Boat Gang, I must kill it cleanly. It's good that everyone knows that even if it is something that was done unintentionally in the past, as long as you can't stand Mr. Wuzang, you can't help it, and Mr. Wuzang will kill people to establish his authority. ”

Gui Hongyu said: "You say this, it sounds a little reasonable, but your reasoning is all crooked. ”

Liu Qichan said: "Crooked reasoning? When have these people ever talked about serious reasoning? Huang Changbo kidnapped the girl of the Mei family in Xiangyang, and what he said is not all crooked reasoning?"

If it is about fighting and attacking the heart, how can Guo Jianming compare with an old fox like Liu Qichan? In just two sentences, he put the Iron Boat Gang in danger. If you don't hide Sayi, it's okay if you can go smoothly in the future, but if you encounter a setback and get angry, you can't guarantee that you won't go to trouble the Iron Boat Gang.

Guo Jianming was very angry, but he didn't dare to compete with Liu Qichan, he was so angry that his face was red, and he said: "You don't have to talk nonsense, Mr. Wuzang is the most reasonable, and he is definitely different from you." ”

Liu Qichan said: "I've played enough with you, I'm a little bored." If you don't retreat and dare to say one more word, I will take your dog's life. We people in the rivers and lakes, it doesn't matter how high or low our martial arts are, but we can't ignore our faces. If you know that you can't do martial arts, and you are timid and afraid of death, then you shouldn't go out and go to the rivers and lakes, but change your career to make a living. ”

Guo Jianming was taken by his bearing, but he really didn't dare to say another word, and retreated with his neck straight.

Guo Jianming was deflated, and no one came up to find him uncomfortable. Everyone, whether intentionally or unintentionally, all stretched their necks and looked down the mountain, hoping that Wu Zang Sayi would come sooner, but they tried their best to pretend that nothing had happened, and they lifted it lightly.

After changing the tea twice, and after more than half an hour, everyone moved forward, each according to their identities on both sides of the mountain road, although no one made a sound, looking at the formation, it was undoubtedly said: "Mr. Wuzang has arrived!"

Liu Qichan said disdainfully: "If it weren't for us here, they would be even more shameless, so they would have run down the mountain to pick them up." Just for this shamelessness and disgusting, I have to embarrass the Kongtong faction to the end, I really can't see them like a minion. ”

Kushui said: "Dao Chief, they are all forced to be helpless, and few of them are sincere." ”

While speaking, Huang Changbo walked slowly along the mountain road. There was a person more than ten steps behind him, who seemed to be Yang Zhenshi of the Righteous Blood Hall.

Wu Zang Sayi is still wearing a light gray light robe, with a palm-wide blood-red ribbon around his waist, and Huang Changbo is wearing a pure white silk robe in the style of the Western Regions, with more than 20 blood-red flowers the size of a cup embroidered on the placket. The two walked side by side, pointing all the way, laughing all the way, showing that they had excellent intentions.

Gui Hongyu couldn't help but praise: "Her clothes are really good, the flowers are really good, the petals are so thin, but they can be so colorful, I really don't know how to embroider them." It was really good to say two in a row, but seeing that no one responded, and when I turned around, I saw that Bao Honghuang, Chu Qingliu, and Qu Lingyu had left their seats and spoke in a circle and whispered. I vaguely heard, "Why did he come? Didn't he die of hunger strike? Why didn't he return to the Righteous Blood Hall but didn't hide Sayi?".

Just as he was about to ask what the three of them were talking about, Huang Changbo had already come to everyone.

Wu Zang Sayi ignored Huang Changbo's jokes, and said to Chu Qingliu: "Friend Chu, you have done a very good job in saving people in Naoshui Dagou. Bao Er Zhuang owner, since I separated from you, I have thought of you several times, and I can see you here, but it is also a matter of my heart. ”

Chu Qingliu smiled and said, "Mr. Wuzang, I will introduce two seniors to you. Came to Liu Qichan and said, "This is Liu Qichan Liu Daochang." Daochang Liu, this is Mr. Wuzang Sayi. ”

Wuzang Sayi smiled and said: "Dao Chief, you have left two words on my Senior Brother Mo's face, this is too game, too mean, it can't be said to be a master's behavior." ”

Liu Qichan said: "That's because when I left the words, I didn't know that there was such a great junior brother as you as the surname Mo." ”

Huang Changbo said: "If you knew, what would you do?"

Liu Qichan looked at Mo Chuying not far away, suddenly let out a wild laugh, and said with a smile: "I am a person who does things as I want, and I don't even know what I will do." ”

"It's not a bad thing to be able to do whatever you want." "Turn around and look at the bitter water.

Chu Qingliu said: "This is the bitter water master of the Wutai Mountain Ziyun Zen Academy. Kushui got up, folded his hands and saluted, and sat down again without saying a word, obviously not intending to talk to such a treacherous, arrogant, and rebellious person. didn't hide the sa and return the gift, and also didn't say a word.

After walking away a few steps, just as he was about to speak, Huang Changbo said to Gui Hongyu: "Miss Gui, where is your senior brother, where has he gone? You are in Xiangyang City, you are playing tricks and humiliating me like that, my senior brother is very unhappy when he hears it, and wants to talk to your senior brother." He glanced at Wuzang Sayi and said, "Senior brother, did you say yes?"

Wuzang Sayi smiled: "There are really not many people who can play tricks on you, and I naturally want to meet this Night Flood." But you don't have to worry, if you don't see it today, you will see it in the future. ”

As he spoke, he came to the east chair and sat down, but he did not sit directly in the first place, but vacated the first chair, which naturally showed that Ding Yangzhen, the head of the Kongtong faction, was respected. Huang Changbo sat down next to Wuzang Sayi, and Liu Chunjie and Mo Chuying also sat down one after another. Huang Changbo said to Yang Zhenshi: "Yang Daxia, you have walked so many roads, sit down and rest." ”

Yang Zhenshi did not say a word, neither resigned, nor thanked, sat down on the lowest chair, and sat with his hands upright.

Wu Zang Sayi said: "Miss Qu, there is something I have to say clearly, the fire in Caizhou was not set by our Kongtong faction." I really want to meet Mr. Qu and have a good talk, I won't do this and set a fire. This fire, to the Kongtong faction, to me, is only harmful, not good. ”

Qu Lingyu said: "This fire depends on who sets it, someone sets it on fire, but someone sets it on fire, but someone sets it on fire." The burning of the Abang Palace, the burning of the Chibi, and the burning of the company camp cannot be said to be inferior. Even if he really didn't set fire, he threatened to kill women and children who couldn't do martial arts to retaliate, and used lies and nonsense to deceive people, this is the real next work. "This is already a scolding in the face.

Turning his head to Yang Zhenshi, he said: "Yang Daxia, you told Mrs. Su that after you are released, you will use deception to win the letter of the Kongtong faction, and try to assassinate Zang Sayi." Now that you have descended for many days, but there is no movement, it seems that you are not a fraudulent surrender, but a real descending, are you worthy of Mrs. Su by doing this?"

Yang Zhenshi was able to appear here, obviously using a hunger strike to fake his death to deceive Mrs. Su Wei Shuoren. After he went ashore, he didn't return to the Righteous Blood Hall, but he went to the place where he didn't hide Sayi, and it was really unexpected for him to come so quickly, win his trust so quickly, and so smoothly. The Kongtong faction must ask him where he escaped from and how. If he lies, sooner or later he will be exposed, and in order to gain trust, he will have to give the direction of the ships at sea.

Qu Lingyu was in the barren mountain, in turmoil, the pigeon was not effective, only Yao Shun and the two maids were available, and under the noses of the Kongtong faction, his actions were not free, and it was difficult to contact Mrs. Su on the boat immediately, and informed Yang Zhen that he had fallen to the sea, and the location of the ship had been exposed. The only way to do this is to try to break it first, so that Wuzang Sayi, especially Huang Changbo, will be suspicious of Yang Zhenshi and no longer believe his words.

Of course, Yang Zhenshi may really be a fraud, he really has a plan, and he did not disclose the whereabouts of the sea ship, Qu Lingyu is so blunt to expose it, if he triggers the suspicion of Huang Changbo, Yang Zhenshi will not only be difficult to succeed, but also worry about his life. But after all, this possibility is very small, after all, the lives of everyone on the sea ship are more important, to blame, you can only blame him Yang Zhenshi came too fast, and he came too far away, and suddenly appeared, so that Qu Lingyu did not have the slightest time to move. If you fake Yang Zhen when you are framed, you can also secretly alarm the hearts of everyone who has surrendered to all the families, and maybe you can really alarm Wuzang Sayi and use his hand to kill people. This is what would rather make me bear others than let others bear me.

As for whether the false accusation will succeed and whether it will be effective, no one can predict. But the more schemes there are, the more hope of results. Sun Tzu said that "soldiers are not tired of deceit", which is just this common principle, but it is more elegant.
