On the seventh day of February, dusk.

Three tightly packed carriages slowly came out of the East Lake Gang. They pass through the streets and alleys, twisting and turning, abandoning the bright street avenue with many people, picking the secluded and uninhabited dark alleys, and going straight to the Gaosheng Inn.

At the back door of the Gaosheng Inn, more than a dozen men with swords and swords and sturdy bodies rushed down from the two carriages in front and behind, and they quickly divided into two groups after getting off the carriage, looking around cautiously, guarding the entrances and exits at both ends of this alley, and no one was allowed to approach.

Liu San trembled and wandered around the neighborhood for three or four times, then walked quickly to the carriage in the middle, and said in a low voice: "Helper, I didn't find anything abnormal, get off!"

"Hmm. ”

With a light response, Li Laohu, who was dressed in black and wearing a hat, quickly got out of the carriage and followed Liu San into the back door of the Gaosheng Inn with the careful support of two strong men.

"Haha...... can make the majestic Li Laohu, forced to disguise himself before he dares to go out, and the name of the Xianwang Mansion is really powerful. ”

As soon as Li Laohu stepped into the room, he was greeted by He Shan's unabashed ridicule, which made him ashamed and annoyed, and hurriedly removed the big hat, revealing a big square face that sank like water.

"Lord He, don't say cool things, as the so-called gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, I'm just temporarily avoiding its edge!" Li Laohu snorted and walked opposite He Shan, sat down directly, and argued, "Now that Liu Xunyi and Pan Chuba are in full swing, I won't meet them first." Hmph!"

"It's not promising!" He Shan stared at Li Laohu with disdain, and scolded with a smile, "Where did Li Laohu, who was not afraid of heaven and earth go back then? Now on his own territory, it is really embarrassing to let an outsider be scared of such virtues! In vain, I let you be in charge of Yingchuan's large and small gangs for so many years, could it be that you have this guts?"

He An, who was standing on the side, waited for an opportunity and sneered: "Gang Master Li is different from the past, he had nothing back then, and he was not afraid of life, so he was naturally not afraid of heaven and earth. Nowadays, people are full of jade, pulp and wine, Huo meat, the abbot is in front of Ying, and there are groups of wives and concubines, so they naturally have to regret their lives. Hehe......"

Hearing He Shan and He An's weird ridicule, Li Laohu was furious in his heart, but because of today's situation and He Shan's status, he didn't dare to make a mistake. could only say nothing, silently endured their sarcastic ridicule of singing and harmonizing, and secretly annoyed.

"Say, what are you looking for me today?" He Shan asked impatiently, "This official is busy with official business, so he doesn't have time to accompany you." ”

Li Laohu's eyes changed, and then he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly spoke: "Li's current situation, presumably Lord He should also be clear. I don't have any other intentions here, I just want to ask Lord He to save me!"

After that, Li Laohu reached into his arms, took out a thick stack of silver tickets tremblingly, slowly put them on the table with reluctance in his eyes, and said, "There are one million taels of silver tickets here, please ...... Laughing!"

He Shan glanced at the table, so he sighed again and again, "This ...... I'm afraid it's not very good! This official has no merit and is not punished, and he is afraid that he will be deserved for so much money. ”

"Please Lord He must accept it!" Li Laohu forced the fire in his heart, gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully to He Shanbi, "Lord He, don't worry, these are just fixed money, and after this matter is resolved, there will be double this amount of silver tickets!"

"Hehe......" He Shan smiled lightly, his eyes motioned to He An to accept the silver tickets, and then personally helped Li Laohu up, and asked with a smile, "These silver tickets, this official will keep them for you first." I just don't know how you're going to let this officer save you?"

"The Xianwang Mansion is too deceitful, I want to ask the adults to immediately send troops to hunt down Liu Xunyi and others. Li Laohu's eyes were red, and he said angrily, "It's best to see one and kill the other, so that the people of the Xianwang Mansion will never dare to step into Yingchuan again." ”

"This ......" He Shan's face was embarrassed, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? How powerful the Xianwang Mansion is, you and I both know very well in our hearts, even Luoyang General Wang Xutong can't fight him, how can I be their opponent with a small official in Yingchuan?"

Seeing this, Li Laohu's heart suddenly cooled down, and he wanted to ask again, but he saw that He Shan's mind had been decided, and his expression was firm, so he knew that it was difficult to achieve his wish in this matter.

Li Laohu pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then please send troops to regain the lost territory for me, now I have to be careful to prevent the attack of the Xianwang Mansion, so I have recalled all the disciples in case of emergency." At present, there is no one to defend and no one to save the whole place, and in just a few days, dozens of places have been swept by the people of the Xianwang Mansion, which can be described as a heavy loss. There are even some people who are ready to move, taking advantage of the situation, to carve up the business of my East Lake Gang. So I would like to ask your lordship to send troops and horses to guard me for a few days, and when this storm is over, I will go and clean them up one by one. ”

"This ......"

"Lord He!" This time, without waiting for He Shan to shirk it, Li Laohu had already taken the lead and said, "You said that you don't want to go against the Xianwang Mansion, let alone kill their people, these Li people can understand and understand." But there is no need for adults to kill people in this matter, and there is no need to even confront Liu Xunyi head-on, just send troops to guard it in the name of quelling the chaos of the government. The disciples of the Xianwang Mansion smashed and looted all over Yingchuan, and the lord was the lord of Yingchuan, and it was his duty to send troops to quell the chaos and maintain the stability of one party, which was reasonable and reasonable. Besides, after so many years, I have been loyal to adults and honored them in every way, but now they don't even want to help me with this little thing?"

Looking at Li Laohu's increasingly urgent eyes, He Shan smacked his tongue again and again, and said lightly: "What you said has some truth, and this matter should be allowed to be thought twice......"

"Think twice?"

In the face of He Shan's prevarication, Li Laohu, who endured and endured, finally broke out and said angrily: "Lord He, I have been filial to you for so many years, so I won't mention this matter." In the past few days, I have sent people to beg you no less than ten times, and I have offered countless treasures of gold and silver, which can be described as painstaking and laborious, exhausting my wealth, and begging in all kinds of ways. But you have repeatedly shirked, today I, Li, have risked life and death, and have come here to beg you in person, but you have been talking about him left and right, and prevaricating to me, what do you mean?"

He Shan was furious and scolded coldly: "Li Laohu, what do you think you are? You dare to shout at this official? I can come to see you today, I have already given you a lot of face, but you have to inch in, and you don't know what to do." What if I don't help you with this? Without me, you'll be dead sooner or later!"

"Ho Shan!"

Li Laohu is also the leader of a gang no matter what he says, and he is used to showing off his might on weekdays, when does anyone dare to speak disrespectfully to him? Therefore, he was furious, took up the case, and said angrily: "You don't want to force me! We are grasshoppers on a rope, and if something happens to me, you can't think about it!"

"What do you mean?" He Shan said coldly, "You are you, I am me, what does it matter to me whether you die or not?"

"For so many years, I know all the ugly things you have done in Yingchuan. Li Laohu sneered, "I won't talk about the corruption and perversion of the law, do you still remember the three concubines you raised privately in Nancheng? You think that you can hide from the world and the sea, and you don't know it, but in fact, I have already found out in secret." If you refuse to help me this time, I will definitely poke out all your ugly things before I die, and then I will see if your lame wife will circle you, and how will your father-in-law punish you?"

"You!" He Shanwan didn't expect Li Laohu to dare to secretly check his details, he couldn't help but tremble with anger, his narrowed eyes were suddenly full of murderous intent, and he said coldly, "Li Laohu, you dare to threaten me?"

"Lord He, you and I have long been in the same spirit, if you are willing to save me, I guarantee that you will have a good life in the future. Liu Laohu smiled cruelly, "But if you want to fall into the well, none of us will live!"

"You ......"

"Bang, bang!"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which made Li Laohu instantly become nervous. Liu San and the two Donghu Gang disciples took advantage of the situation to draw their steel knives and stared at the door with a cautious expression.

"Guest officer, the wine you asked for is here!" Xiao Er's voice came from outside the room.

Hearing this, Li Laohu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. On the other hand, He Shan and He An moved their eyes and subconsciously glanced at each other. He An asked loudly, "But is it hot wine?"

"The guest officer can rest assured that the wine has been scalded and can be drunk now. ”

"Very good!" He Shan agreed, turned to look at Li Laohu with a suspicious face, and said in a soothing tone, "We don't have to argue, after all, things haven't developed out of control yet." Hehe...... If there is anything we can say, we can talk about it while we drink. I'll save you, I'll save you!"

As he spoke, He Shan slowly got up, and under the gloomy gaze of Li Laohu, he walked towards the door with He An.

Hearing this, Li Laohu thought that his threat had played a role, so he was overjoyed, and at the same time subconsciously relaxed his guard.

After opening the door, He Shan and He An stepped out one after another. Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of chatter and laughter outside.

"Lord He, your things are ready, you can take them now!"

"Thank you, thank you, so I won't bother much!"

"Lord Ho, please!"

Listening to the strange greetings outside the door, Li Laohu couldn't help but feel suspicious, and suddenly got up and greeted Liu San and the others: "Follow me out to have a look!"

But before Li Laohu could take a step, a figure flickered outside the room, and then pushed the door in.

Li Laohu looked at it fixedly, and suddenly found that the person who came in at this moment was no longer He Shan or He An, but Liu Xunyi, who he guarded day and night. Behind Liu Xunyi, there were also Xu Heng, Tang Cong, Liao Chuan, and Liao Hai.

"You ......"

"Gang Leader Li, don't come to harm?" Liu Xunyi slowly drew his sword as he walked towards Li Laohu.

Seeing this, Liu San and the two Donghu Gang disciples roared and swung their knives and pounced. Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to greet him, Xu Heng and the others had already taken the first step and slashed them under the knife in an instant.

Suddenly, a strong smell of blood quietly permeated the small guest room.

"You ......"

Li Laohu had already been frightened by Liu Xunyi, and he was shocked and angry at the moment. But I know better in my heart that everything today is a bureau, a scam that deliberately led him to appear.

"Li Laohu, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself. Liu Xunyi came to Li Laohu, and before Li Laohu hurriedly drew his sword, the cold blade was already dead against his neck. Liu Xunyi said expressionlessly: "For so many years, you have committed a lot of crimes in Yingchuan, killing people and setting fires, bullying and dominating the market, forcing good people to become prostitutes, and forcibly taking and robbing, it is really an unforgivable crime, and today is your death!"
