Who is the praying mantis
How can the bandits, the bandits in Xiaoyaozhuang, convince them to do it? How can the bandits, who are still so at ease alive until now, not have anything, if they underestimate them too much, they may even have to explain themselves inside, so be careful.
The next subordinate on the task is named Slipper, and as his name suggests, he is a guy who is very good at stealing and playing tricks, that is, he has a lot of crooked ideas, and he often produces miraculous results. Such a person will naturally be valued by the leader, willing to work, willing to take the blame and have the ability to innovate, so even if his strength is average, just a guy in the middle of the second heaven, King Ning still knows a little bit that there is such a person under his hands, which can also show the ability of this guy.
At this moment, Huazi was walking on the way to Xiaoyaozhuang, thinking about this question as she walked.
In fact, he is also very difficult, because in the eyes of others, he has such an image of "even if you encounter a problem, it doesn't matter, this guy will always find a way to solve it anyway", and every time this happens, he is under a lot of pressure.
"What are you doing?" said Slippery as he walked, hearing a loud shout, and looking around a little drunkenly.
There are two people guarding a fork in the road, and according to the information gathered from the vicinity, they are the people of Xiaoyaozhuang, although they are still a long way from their den, but they have already begun to be on the alert, and as far as they know, they seem to give people false hints because of the situation, leading people to different paths. I'm afraid that's why they've been active all the time, never letting their guard down, and there are many sentry posts like this in this place, but the path they chose was only the one in front of them after all.
Slippery turned his thoughts around his mind a few times, and then calmly exchanged codes with these two people and began to communicate with them officially.
"That's right, a few of us came to negotiate a deal with you on behalf of my master. As for the content of the business, because it is a bit involved, I can't just say it, I can only guarantee that after the completion of the matter, the benefits you can get will definitely exceed what you can imagine. Slipper said very sincerely, his eyes full of sincerity.
In fact, he did not tell a lie, if the plan succeeded, his own master, that is, King Ning, would naturally give a considerable reward, there is no doubt about it. Of course, he just didn't say that the success rate was low, even if the number of people was superior.
"So you want to meet the master?" The minions of the two little minions understood the meaning of the guy in front of him, and simply asked clearly.
"Not really, if you can make a decision, I can consult with you. Slippery scratched his head shyly, and said a little awkwardly, as if he didn't dare to ask to see their master.
"I'm afraid you can't be the master, so you just wait here for a while, and I'll ask. Minions raised their eyebrows and replied in surprise. What kind of medicine does this guy sell in his gourd? If you want to see the boss, you can say that you will meet the boss, what does this shy look do...... Tell me you're inexperienced?
"Actually, I don't really want to see it, or I don't dare to see it, I heard that you are very majestic, don't look at me like this, in fact, I am very timid, eh, I hope I will not be scared too badly for a while, trouble you. Slippery sighed and said nonsense.
"Don't worry, we're very friendly to sincere friends. Minion A left a word of implicit warning, left Minion B to guard, and left his post.
......
After a while, Minions came back and took the slippery people to the council hall in the village, which was also what they meant to be in charge.
"I heard that you want to see me, and you want to talk to me about a business?" sat a sturdy man in the seat, with a mighty and tall figure, loose clothes still couldn't hide the muscle lines, and the explosive power seemed to be leaking out at any time, a well-deserved hunk man.
Xiao Heran, the leader of Xiaoyaozhuang, is also a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes of the East China Sea, of course, it has little to do with his strength, he is also the strength of the late stage of the second heaven, but he is righteous and a little strategic, so he can be regarded as a little famous.
"Yes, it's me. Huazi said and saluted: "I have admired the name of Xiao's family for a long time, and when I see it today, I feel that people are more famous than famous, and I really admire it very much." ”
"Needless to say, I don't have much time to listen, just say something directly. Xiao Heran frowned, what the hell does this guy want to say, it's very annoying.
"Haha, then I'll just say it. I heard that several mountains around here are the territory of Xiao's family, and anyone who wants to live from now on has to leave something as filial piety. That's what we mean, and you're welcome. As he spoke, Huazi took out the meeting gift he prepared for Xiao Heran, it is not a preparation, anyway, it is a little baby that he "gets" from others, and the value is definitely not low, and he is now borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.
"Oh, you're quite sincere, but, as the saying goes, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and there is no free lunch in the world, you came to me for no reason, and gave gifts, I'm afraid it's not just to say hello to me, right?" Xiao Heran looked at the rosewood box he handed over, and didn't mean to take it.
"Hahaha, it's worthy of being Master Xiao, this, it's not nothing, it's just a thing, it's a little troublesome, it's a trouble for you, Xiaoyaozhuang. As she spoke, her voice gradually lowered, and she became much more cautious.
"It should be a big trouble for you, if you can't deal with it yourself, you want to drag us into the water, this trick is very good to kill people with a knife. Xiao Heran understood when he heard this, how shrewd he was, how could he be so easily deceived.
"Yes, I can't deny this, after all, people die for money, and the fastest means to get money are all forbidden by the government. Huazi confessed, but the term he mentioned made Xiao Heran look nervous.
"Official?" Xiao Heran stared at him.
"Yes, for businessmen, this neighborhood is not very peaceful, and the imperial court is not going to engage in that ancestor worship parade, this time the emperor has to take a remote road and go far away, and the security problem is even more abrupt. So up there, it's almost here to send down a team to clean up the guys who might be threatening. Slipper explained.
"In this way, it will be dangerous......" Xiao Heran also understood what this meant, and his expression became solemn.
"I came to you, naturally, to dispose of them......"
Huazi first put the threat out and put it in front of Xiao Heran, and then made some promises and benefits, and smoothly seduced them into the water, agreed on a time, and encircled and suppressed the so-called imperial court advance team in front of the first-line gorge together.
......
"Do you repeat the old trick?" Wei Wu looked at the situation similar to what he had encountered before: a trap hidden on the surface-a giant pit, but this time it was detected in advance, and there were no casualties.
Wei Wu went to ask the emperor and got the same answer as before: fill in the pit and move on. But this time Wei Wu was a little hesitant, he vaguely felt as if he had fallen into some trap, after all, for basically everyone who is an efficient labor force, this kind of thing does not make much sense, if it is not for any attempt, there is no need to spend time, energy and money to do it again.
During this time, taking advantage of the gap that everyone couldn't find, Shangguan Yi came to the emperor's carriage, and this time the blood cloak did not stomp his feet to attack, but opened the mechanism very tacitly, allowing Shangguan Yi to come in smoothly.
"Hey, I said you two, don't you think there's something strange?" Shangguan Yi gasped slightly, quite puzzled.
"There is no way back, so I can only keep going. The emperor shook his head, as if he was a little sad, sad that he had fallen for the enemy's tricks.
"This ...... Also, it seems that the other party knows you very well, so you have to be careful next. Shangguan Yi didn't say anything to blame, it's too late to say anything now, and he doesn't dare to blame the emperor.
"Well, I will. The emperor naturally nodded in agreement, and sighed in his heart when he saw the blood cloak, how can this guy be so simple, just this, how can it be reassuring, no wonder Miss is worried in every way, it is the same for me, right?
Seeing that the emperor seemed to have learned a lesson, Shangguan Yi didn't say much, sat next to the blood cloak and closed his eyes to recuperate, ready to attack at any time.
Outside the carriage, because there were no trees nearby, Wei Wu could only lead people to dig up the soil close to the mountain to fill the pit, but the efficiency was still very fast, and it didn't take long to fill in a road that could be passed.
The convoy continued to move forward, and not far ahead, there was a first-line gorge.
When they were about to reach the exit, they suddenly received an early warning from the secret guards: there was an ambush ahead, and there were quite a lot of them, and a tough battle might be fought.
Before the emperor could decide whether to continue to advance or retreat, another secret guard conveyed the news that the way back had been demolished, and it seemed that some thieves had done it, and they had set up bows and arrows across the huge pit, and if they forcibly filled the pit and killed it, the casualties might be relatively large.
"So there's only one way left to go, go forward, get ready for battle. "The emperor has made a decision.
Wei Wu should go down, let the Royal Forest Army disperse, part of the palace to prevent sneak attacks, the other part is responsible for the two wings, the main battle is still placed on the front, as long as you can break through the encirclement, you can go, of course, there is no need to break through, and it is not impossible to fight a war of attrition with them, in the final analysis, if it is just bandits, it will not become any climate, and there is no need to be afraid, I am afraid that I am only afraid that King Ning's people will unite with them.
In this way, the Imperial Forest Army slowly advanced forward with a shield formation, until the outbreak of war, countless arrows were fired, either empty or blocked, maybe the bandits did not have superb archers or powerful crossbow machines and other weapons, of course, there were also reasons why it was late and the vision was not wide, and there were no casualties.
"Master Xiao, this kind of attack doesn't seem to be of much use, do you want to change your strategy?" Under the hint of the head's eyes, Huazi urged Xiao Heran tactfully.
"Don't be in a hurry, the show is still to come, you have to be steady. Xiao Heran turned his back to them, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and did not let the two of them see it.
The three of them were looking at the battle situation from a distance from a high place on the first-line gorge at this time, and after a while, a group of black-clothed men came, and the leader knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Heran and said: "Report to the master, after investigation, it was found that there are no other people outside our encirclement, everything is ready, and they can shoot at any time." ”
"Oh, it's worthy of Xiaoyaozhuang, and there is such an elite force. "The head was a little surprised, this team of ten people, but they are all extraordinary double heaven level secret guards, even if they are placed in King Ning's forces, they can be called elite, no wonder Xiaoyaozhuang can survive so many encirclements and suppressions and still stand.
"yes, you're ready, let's do it. Xiao Heran coldly took the halberd that his subordinates next to him were helping to hold, and then ...... Attacked the head and slipped the head!
"Master Xiao, what do you mean by this, didn't we make an appointment in advance?" Tou and Slider dodged the blow in embarrassment, and Slider asked loudly.
"Heh, I don't have anything to agree with the villain. Xiao Heran sneered.
"Yes, what are your origins, and who are you underneath, don't we really know?" A young man with a sneer on his lips stepped out from behind the group, holding a sword in his arms.
"Xiang Kuo, you, how could it be you...... Why are you here?" Through the light of the fire, the head recognized the sword, and also thought of its owner: one of the four great swordsmen of the new generation in the rivers and lakes of the East China Sea: Xiang Kuo, who is upright, jealous and hateful, and has a wide range of friends.
"Because, I'm the boss of this Xiaoyao Village. Xiang Kuo smiled slightly, but the words he said could not be cruel anymore, waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to clear this place, as for the other people brought by these two guys, I'm afraid they are almost dead, the Tao is not the same, don't blame us for not being trustworthy, it is you who have bad intentions first, look at the team of people sent by the other party to assist, you will know that their comprehensive strength is much stronger than Xiaoyaozhuang......
Xiaoyaozhuang is a bandit, yes, but it is not a thief who robs everything, otherwise it would not have survived so many encirclements and suppressions, even if this Zhuangzi has Xiang Kuo, Xiao Heran, and a group of good brothers who are united and can go to life and death together, they will also be destroyed.
The East China Sea, or the emperor, will not allow a large number of bandits to do evil, Xiaoyaozhuang can only survive because the emperor's hand has been stretched out to them once, that time, they were set a rule, and if they do not abide by the rules that they will be annihilated, they also experienced the iron and bloody hand of this gentle emperor.
The truly lethal clean-up of bandits is not overtly discovered, but something that is rarely known in the world, and that is carried out in the shadows or in the name of others is as if it were sneaky and unseemly, or indeed unseemly.
There must be white and black, and there must be light and shadow, so the emperor allowed some thieves to exist, Xiaoyaozhuang is one of them, and if you keep the bottom line, you can go on forever, which is also what they want. Robbing the rich and helping the poor or something, is what Xiaoyaozhuang does, collecting a little toll is just for show, from the beginning to the present, they have not crossed the bottom line, which is also what the emperor appreciates.
So...... Naturally, it is impossible for them to help King Ning, even if the knife is on the neck, there is no position or reason. Whether it's from the point of view of kindness, affection, or from the overall situation, the result is the same.
So the head and the slider failed, doomed to fail, even if they don't find Xiaoyaozhuang, Xiaoyaozhuang will not let them go.
Yes, all this is something that the emperor has planned a long time ago, and the chess pieces that are placed casually come in handy or something, in fact, it is quite comfortable, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and pretending to be pitiful to make Qian Taiduo worry are all things that make her happy.
