The storm gradually surrounded the official road, and Long Xiangtian immediately said: "Order the army to line up and drink the water that was only distributed below" The scout immediately went out and sent a message back. The storm was getting closer, and there were winds and sand in all directions, and it was soon approaching the team.

The team listed the formation, and immediately surrounded Long and Li like Taiji. Long Xiangtian said: "Everyone, join hands with the sand" The words were finished, and the three-layer soldiers immediately joined hands, and the wind and sand blew, with a chill and a knife blowing across everyone's faces. The soldiers were all suffering from pain, and the cavalry were steadying their horses while waving their hands to chase the sand. Long Xiangtian and Li Defei were also waving their hands to catch the sand.

It is only said that Long Xiangtian turned the anti-poison elixir into water in Longxi City and distributed it to all the soldiers, so that he could prevent being attacked by wind and sand.

But the pill needs some internal strength to resist, although the soldiers have practiced martial arts, but the internal strength is high and low, such a rapid wind and sand, some soldiers have long been unable to hold Long Xiangtian wanted to wait for the opponent's internal strength to be insufficient and forced back the wind and sand, but he also knew that the internal force of many soldiers may not be able to hold on, but if the march is stepped up, the rear team will be wiped out in the wind and sand. At this time, the soldiers can still support each other, and the casualties may be smaller.

This is a dangerous move by Long Xiangtian, after receiving Chen Renhai's message, he speculated that the enemy was about to attack them, and the soldiers stationed outside the city had exposed their determination These days, the reason why he let the army blockade for a while, and let the prefect resume the city guard for a while, is to force out the enemy's intentions, the enemy does not know what strategy he uses, he will panic, he will take the initiative to attack, they can see more clues, at present there are too few clues in their hands, except for General Zhou, they have no more useful clues, but General Zhou has more clues they have not dug up yet。 This risky move was gambled by Long Xiangtian, and most of his strategies were a bit risky The last time Chen Renhai and others entered the desert, it was also a risky move, but fortunately he made the right bet that time.

Two or three soldiers were already foaming at the mouth, but fortunately the soldiers around them had not been poisoned and the formation had not dispersed, but then several more soldiers fell. Li Defei seemed to have thought of something, and immediately notified the surrounding soldiers to shout with the sound of music for a while, and after the soldiers spread the news, Li Defei's Xun song sounded again. The sound waves matched the shouts of the soldiers, and the air waves rushed out layer by layer, and the wind and sand were impacted several times, and finally dispersed. Long Xiangtian saw that the moonlight in the desert seemed to shine on several figures. After so many hours, I finally discovered the person behind this wind and sand.

Li Defei took a few breaths, and Long Xiangtian said: "Quickly carry the wounded to the horse and return to Longxi."

The army immediately changed its formation and walked towards Longxi City.

At the garrison of the East Route Army of Longxi City at dawn, the wounded soldiers had been settled, and the soldiers who had lost their lives were also buried thickly. In the barracks, Long Xiangtian said: "I saw these figures last night, they are traitors to the Shaxi Gang. ”

Li Defei said: "Brother Long, have you looked carefully?"

"I could see clearly that the moonlit figure had fled into the desert at night, but there were casualties in the ranks at that time, and I had to turn my troops and horses back into the city. "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.

Li Defei said: "Our whereabouts seem to be exposed in front of the enemy, we have been ambushed three times in the desert, and this time we came to ambush directly on the official road, what is going on?"

Long Xiangtian said: "There are still internal ghosts in the Ganliang generation, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, this inner ghost is still a person in the Northwest Jockey Club." ”

Li Defei was puzzled: "Who is in the Northwest Jockey Club? President Ge or Master Zhang Helm?"

"At this time, I am not sure that President Ge's suspicion is greater than that of Lord Zhang Duo. "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.

Li Defei said: "Brother Long is suspicious because of his opinion on the horse trainer leaving the gang?"

"Yes, if there are a few horse trainers, it is normal for him not to want to ask. There are more and more horse trainers who can go, but he is still like this, and there is only helplessness in his words, not in a hurry. It's so breezy and cloudy, and it's really a bit suspicious. "Long Xiang Heavenly Dao.

While speaking, there was a deputy in the military tent to report, saying that there were flying pigeons from Liangzhou City and Ganliang Mansion to pass on the book. Li Defei immediately asked him to present it, and then the adjutant general withdrew from the military tent.

The two of them opened the creed and read it in a short time. Long Xiangtian said: "Ren Chaoxian in Ganliang Mansion interrogated Wulong's family, saying that Wulong had been out of the house on the night I was waiting to leave the city, and brought him a sum of money after returning home, and said that he was going to go far away, so they took the money and left Ganliang Mansion and went to Longbei to wait for him. What does your creed say?"

Li Defei said: "Brother Chen, after they rescued the leader of the Shaxi Gang, the leader of the gang said that the rebellion in the gang went into the desert without permission and was noticed by him, and then he summoned those people to the gang to discuss matters, and the group of people in the gang said that they wanted to leave the gang to have a good future, and then the brothers who supported the gang leader quarreled with him, and then they became angry. Brother Chen and the others arrived just in time for the gang leader to be wounded, but the living rebel fled and did not capture a single person. ”

"They still can't hide. Long Xiangtian nodded.

"Then what should we do?" Li Defei said.

Long Xiangtian said: "Bet again." ”

In the evening, there was a cold wind at dusk, and the wind was not as bitter today as it was yesterday. In the helm of the Northwest Jockey Club, President Ge was writing something, and he entered the room alone.

"It's coming. President Ge said.

The man dropped a bag and said, "This is the money I earned for you." ”

President Ge said: "The bag contains a silver ticket, but it is really yours." ”

"No way, earn more. "That's human.

President Ge opened the bag, counted it, and said, "That's all?"

"Five thousand taels is not enough?" said the man.

"You said you could sell it for me for eight thousand taels. President Ge said.

"I took three thousand taels. Originally, I was going to say that it was half open, but I saw that you folded a lot of people, so I gave you an extra thousand taels. "That's human.

President Ge smiled, "So I still have to thank you?"

The man said, "It is not necessary, except for those 'disloyal' trainers, and now you can use the slump of business as an excuse to leave you with loyal trainers."

The horse master trained the horses to maintain your business, and although you paid them, you made so much money in private. In fact, what I said about 'disloyalty' is not true, they have recently thought that you have made too much money, and want to talk to you about a few more months, or let them train a few less horses a day, and you have come to such a desire to get away with it. It also made the court suspicious of others, at least you are currently cleared of suspicion. ”

Without replying, President Ge gently tore up the paper on which he had just written, crumpled it into a ball, and put it in the paper basket, saying, "If you hadn't appeared, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known how I could do such a thing." ”

The man said, "This is the work of the shopkeeper of my house, and I have taken three thousand taels of silver, and he does not know it." ”

"Aren't you afraid that I told you to be the shopkeeper?" said President Ge.

The man then went out and said, "It doesn't hurt to say that, you won't be able to find me again." Money is really a good thing, and some people can really throw away some precious things for money, but it can be said that the sky is broken, and people's hearts have changed, which probably has nothing to do with money. ”

Then he threw the silver bills out of his pocket, and said, "Give the two thousand taels to the king's treasurer, and tell him that I am leaving." Leave a thousand taels, I will go to do some business, I will remember the bowl of noodles he gave me when I was down, and I will also remember what he said to me, but the noodles are delicious and the words are ugly. ”

President Ge stepped forward to say more, but the man walked straight out of the door.

When the man reached the street, he seemed to hear something, and immediately hid behind a house by the roadside.

Another group of people came to the village, about eight of them, and then entered the door.

The moonlight is not so bright tonight, although the wind is not as good as a few days ago, maybe today is the prelude to the coming of summer, I am afraid that the wind will gradually return to some normalcy in the future, at least the people here think so.

President Ge said: "What kind of day is this, just one person came, and another group came. ”

"Who is the person who came?"

"Treasurer Wang, that man is your subordinate. He took your one thousand taels of silver, and left you two thousand taels," President Ge handed him the silver ticket.

The shopkeeper said, "Hey...... He never wanted to come to me, so forget it if he didn't have a chance. I'm waiting for this boat, not for anyone to get up. Shopkeeper Zhang, you said yes?"

The shopkeeper said: "That's natural, if there is no king to take it in, I don't think I can be a shopkeeper." I used to make money with the government, and I almost lost my life, although my master saved me, but afterwards he was afraid that I would leak my secret, so he asked for my life. Fortunately, there is a person who is in charge of the king's treasurer to save me, otherwise I am afraid that I will lose my life. ”

"Hahaha...... I value the talent of the shopkeeper, you see, as soon as you come out, my yellow weevil will hit the Ganliang army hard, and make the Ganliang generation panic, so that my 'Heavenly Dao' can show his skills. I will show you your merits to the Sect Master. The shopkeeper said.

After a while, there was a noise outside the door again, and a small servant came to report, saying, "It's the two adults of the court who are here."

Everyone was a little flustered, and President Ge said, "Go to the back hall first and hide."

After that, he tidied up his clothes and hats, and went out to greet him. When he was young, he led Long Xiangtian and others to the hall together, and Long Xiangtian said: "Gang Leader Ge, after I went back to discuss it yesterday, I felt that there were a lot of strange things in this case, so I wanted to ask Gang Master Ge again." ”

President Ge said with a smile: "The two adults visit at night, there must be something urgent, the two adults can ask if there is anything, and the villain must know everything." ”

After that, several people sat down in the hall, and the people served tea.

Li Defei asked: "May I also ask the helper, can you tell me about the original horse trainer Baipizi in the gang?"

President Ge said: "Hey, although this person has the talent of horse training, but he is insatiable, and not long after he came, he told me to increase the monthly money." He has not been here for more than two years, and he has to take the money of a first-class trainer, and although he has trained more horses than his peers, it is unreasonable for him to make such a request from me. ”

"Then is he the first to resign from the gang leader this time?" asked Long Xiangtian.

President Ge said, "No, but he did quit early. ”

Li Defei said: "In the town outside Liangzhou City, an official found a letter from him in an inn. ”

"Oh...... Then it was written in the letter......" President Gray asked.

Li Defei opened the letter and read: "If I die, the one who killed me, Ge Bin." ”

After hearing this, President Ge immediately panicked and said, "Two adults, this ...... This is a plan to divide the world, adults will check it clearly," he immediately knelt on the ground. Long Xiangtian said: "We haven't seen the clues yet, and there is no trace of this white skin, it can't be determined by just a letter, please rest assured." However, recently, the gang leader can only help the middle, not everywhere, and the big and small businesses in the gang can no longer be done. In the short run, we will ask the soldiers to temporarily block it, and when the case is solved, we will remove the guards, and then help the business resume. ”

"So...... It's okay, but the rudder is far away from the main rudder, and the rudder needs to find someone to report, this matter is ...... What do you two adults think about it?" said President Ge.

Li Defei said: "I don't think it's as good as this, when our army arrives, I will ask the scouts to send letters to all parts of the gang." ”

President Ge nodded and said, "I wonder when the Master of Adults will arrive?"

Long Xiangtian said: "I waited for the first time, I am afraid that in a quarter of an hour, four hundred soldiers and horses will arrive." ”

"That's all right, but it's getting late, and if you wait until the soldiers and horses come, where should you go to rest? President Ge said.

Li Defei said: "We still need to rush back to Ganliang Mansion, now the case is becoming more and more tortuous and bizarre, we still need to go back to Ganliang Mansion overnight to discuss the situation, and the Longxi generation will be guarded by us and the Ganliang Army." ”

"I see. President Ge said.

Long Xiangtian got up and said, "We just told Gang Leader Yu Ge about this matter, and Gang Leader Ge should not spread it." When the soldiers come, we will return to Ganliang's house. This is an official matter, please forgive me. ”

President Ge nodded and said, "This is a case handled by the DPRK and China, what kind of grass people is the villain, how dare you blame it?"

Long Xiangtian walked a few steps around the hall for a while, and then sat back in his seat. President Ge didn't know how to speak for a moment. After a while, President Ge got up and said, "The mundane affairs of the family, the two adults, the villain is absent for a while, please forgive the sin"

Li Defei said: "The affairs of the family weigh a thousand catties, President Ge is here, please take care of it, and I will wait here." ”

President Ge got up to say goodbye to the two and then went to the back hall. The others in the back hall were already impatient, and when President Ge saw this, he immediately stepped forward and said, "What should be done, they have doubts about me." ”

The shopkeeper Wang said: "Lao Zhang, how should I deal with this?"

The shopkeeper said: "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move." Even if the soldiers sealed this place, but they didn't receive the search order, we don't have to be afraid at all, wait here for a while, and when their doubts are gone, we won't be too late to leave. ”

"But the white-skinned man did not know whether he was dead, and his letters were a bad thing, and this man was able to escape without a trace, and he was a step slower, and did not kill him. Now that we have been sealed, the news can't be sent for a while, and the Shaxi Gang has only fought among themselves, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to appoint. President Ge said.

Shopkeeper Wang said: "Don't worry, the two masters of the Shaxi Gang are still here, it is better to listen to their high opinions: Le Zijin, Lu Qiang, what do you two think?"

Le Zijin said: "Only the two of them are here?"

President Ge said: "The little guy in the front yard came to report that only the two of them came here, and the army still needed two quarters of an hour, and now it is less than half a quarter, and I think there is still a quarter and a half to come here." ”

Lu Qiang nodded and said, "If the soldiers and horses arrive to blockade this place, I'm afraid it won't be easy." And the helmsmen don't know what the Ge gang leader did before, right?"

President Ge said: "Isn't this a business that the king shopkeeper did with me alone?

"Listening to Gang Master Ge's words, do you want to abandon me and wait for this boat at this moment?" said the shopkeeper Wang.

President Ge said, "Not really, it's just that you are acting very secretly, I don't know why you are doing it for money, for revenge, or something else?"

Shopkeeper Wang said: "It's better not to inquire about this matter, as soon as the Shaxi Gang is destroyed, we need to withdraw immediately." This place is very close to Longxi, as long as we pass through the Hui Department and pass through the border pass, they can't track us and others. When the wind and waves are calm, I will go back to the Central Plains to continue what we are waiting for. Gang Master Ge will help me get through the difficulties, and my two thousand taels of silver will also belong to you. ”

"Then how can I help you?" said President Ge.

Lu Qiang said: "Gather you to help the experts and kill these two people with us."

President Ge's eyes widened, and he asked, "If you want to kill people here, what if you can't kill them? If you kill them, and people die here, the government will definitely find me to help? You want to take these two thousand taels of silver and let me give up the whole gang?"

"President Ge hesitated a little longer, it would be difficult for the sergeant to arrive as soon as he arrived. At this time, they did not have the idea of saying that they would search the gang, and if they remembered to search at that time, it would probably be difficult to do it. I'm waiting here, how are you going to talk to them?"

"They've never seen you and the others, what's so scary?" said President Ge.

Shopkeeper Zhang said: "They have seen me, they have seen me when they were handling cases in Dongting Mansion, so if they search me, they will be exposed." ”

President Ge was a little angry and said, "You are alone, you want me to help my brother die for you, and you still want to cut off my back road?"

The shopkeeper Zhang is Yu Qing who escaped from the Dongting Mansion half a year ago. From his words, it can be seen that this person is already working for the king's shopkeeper at this time, and he is no longer working with the prince in the palace, and it can be seen from his words that the prince in the palace seems to have killed him, so he will definitely not die for him. And the force he joined was supposed to be to rebel against the imperial court, otherwise these albums would not make sense.

This force is still in the southeast, and it is likely that it is still in various parts of the government and the opposition. I am afraid that in the future, the government and the opposition will seem to be peaceful, and they will also set off waves.

"President Ge can make a play? If the brothers here are gone, they can recruit again, and the money can attract the brothers" After saying that, Yu Qing took out three more silver tickets: three thousand taels of silver. "This silver is enough to buy the brother you helped, right?" Yu Qing said.

It was late at night, and the hall was eerily quiet. Long Xiangtian's fingers lightly tapped the table, staring at the beams, Li Defei closed his eyes and recuperate, as if they were waiting for something.

The backyard was chaotic, the sound came out, and the two did not move at all. When he was young, Lu Qiang and Le Zijin killed together, Long Xiangtian's eyes opened, and the soft sword came out of the sheath to take over Le Zijin's long knife, and the two exchanged hands. Li Defei jumped up and fought with Lu Qiang, Lu Qiang's short knife was very fast, but Li Defei's fist did not show weakness and fought head-on.

The subordinates, Lu and Le, surrounded the two, and the fighting became more and more intense. Long Xiangtian's sword style swept to several other subordinates, and after a sword blocked Le Zijin's long knife, the knives of the rest of the swordsmen came again, Long Xiangtian turned around the snake's body method, and the knives of several swordsmen pounced into the air, directly smashing the floor of the hall. Li Defei was surrounded at this time, although Lu Qiang was not his opponent, but with so many swordsmen, Li Defei had already lost the upper hand for a while.

Long Xiangtian jumped out of the encirclement with the snake body method, grabbed Li De and flew to the desk, and the two of them worked together to push the desk in front of everyone, and the internal force exploded and knocked everyone away. Xun bent together, everyone suddenly felt chest tightness and dizziness, Lu and Le used their internal strength to resist, and the two took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the house.

The two ran to the streets of the town together, and ran away in the night.
