The next morning, Shi Yuntian and the people of the chief helm held a grand departure ceremony for Li Yanqing and Zhao Tong in the hall, encouraging them to fight bravely and return triumphantly as soon as possible.

After the ceremony, Wang Shipeng and Ye Hongchong watched everyone walk out of the hall to see off Li and Zhao, but they were still standing on the ground, at a loss.

Wang Shipeng walked up to Ye Hongchong's side and asked, "That's it." The two of us watched it. ”

Ye Hongchong sneered: "What if you don't do it, how can there be two of us in his Shi Yuntian eyes." After saying that, he got up and walked away.

When Wang Shipeng saw him leaving, he also walked out of the door depressed, ready to go to the door to see them off.

It is said that Elder Ye Hongchong returned to the room alone, sat on the stool, and was about to drink a cup of tea. Suddenly thinking of Li Yanqing's proud appearance of making a stalk from it, his heart was furious, and he was so angry that he threw the teacup to the ground and smashed it. He said with hatred on his face: "Damn old plotter, you ruined my good deeds again, and made my plan go to waste, I will definitely not let you go, I will definitely not." ”

At this moment, a person ran in from outside, came to his side with a cautious face, looked at the teacup on the ground, and asked with a lazy smile: "Brother Ye, what's wrong, who provoked you and made such a big fuss?"

This person's name is He Lao Wu, in his thirties, as tall as a thin monkey, and he is a complete gambler. Since he came to the Aoki Gang, he has been very loyal to Ye Hongchong, and then he has been following him, until now, he is considered one of his confidants.

Ye Hongchong looked at him and didn't explain, only asked, "Why are you coming to me, won't you lose another gamble and ask me to borrow money." ”

He Lao Wu rubbed his hands and smiled ill-willedly: "Big brother, you know my intentions, what else do you ask." ”

Ye Hongchong sneered twice and scolded: "You are really rotten wood that cannot be carved, and the mud can't support the wall." ”

He Lao Wu still smiled shamelessly: "I was originally such a cheap life, and I dare to hope for anything." I saw him slowly take out a letter from his arms and say to Ye Hongchong: "Brother Ye, look what this is." ”

Ye Hongchong took the envelope and read it, and saw that it was a letter from the Tanzhou rudder, so he hurriedly took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms, rewarded him and said, "Go get some good wine and drink, don't gamble anymore." ”

As the saying goes, a small gamble is pleasant, the joy is endless, and a big gamble hurts the body, and the family is ruined. For a gambler, as long as he has money, he has the capital to gamble, and there is nothing more important than gambling.

At that moment, He Lao Wu smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Ye for the reward." "I'm going to run out.

Ye Hongchong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this matter outside, if you let others know, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless." ”

He Lao Wu hurriedly replied seriously: "Yes, Brother Ye, don't worry, I will definitely keep my mouth shut." ”

Ye Hongchong watched him go out, then took the letter and came to the study to open the letter and read it.

I saw that the content of the letter was probably as follows: The brothers of the Tanzhou rudder are ready, and ask him when he will come to Ezhou so that they can do things together.

Ye Hongchong looked at the letter and sighed uncontrollably. He thought to himself, "It's really a plan that can't keep up with the changes, and the opportunity has been lost." Later, he wrote a reply letter, explaining his current situation, and asked the brothers in Tanzhou to temporarily suspend this action and wait to see what happens in the future.

Later, he asked his henchman Fang Wei to take the reply letter and hand it to the person from Tanzhou, and gave him twenty taels of silver to buy wine and drink on the way.

On the other side, Elder Wang Shipeng came to the door, only to see that the gang leader Shi Yuntian was greeting the two elders Li and Zhao and explaining the matter, so he waited behind the door. After a while, he watched Zhao Tong leave with the people first, and Shi Yuntian also turned around and went back to the house, finding that he was staring at himself with his eyes, and walked over quickly.

At this time, Li Yanqing also found Wang Shipeng, and when he saw him looking at the door, he beckoned him to come over and said, "Elder Wang, come here, I have something to tell you." Wang Shipeng came sullenly, and Li Yanqing hurriedly pulled him to hide under the corner.

Wang Shipeng pulled a bitter gourd face and said to him slowly: "Only you can think of me." ”

Li Yanqing eagerly pulled Wang Shipeng to his side and told him seriously: "Brother Wang, after I leave, there are two things in the general rudder, you must always keep it in mind. ”

Wang Shipeng saw that he looked serious, so he asked, "What are the two things, Brother Li, please say." ”

Li Yanqing said: "The first thing is to be optimistic about Li Xinyi and her group, don't let them run away." ”

Wang Shipeng patted his chest and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, with me, they can't run." ”

Li Yanqing said: "That's good, there is one more important thing.

Wang Shipeng let out an "oh".

Li Yanqing pressed his ear and said: "You are in the gang, you must be on guard against Ye Hongchong at any time, for fear that he will plot against him." ”

Wang Shipeng asked puzzledly: "Why do you want to prevent him from this?"

Li Yanqing said: "Don't ask so much, in short, you just guard against him." ”

He looked at Zhao Tong again, and hurriedly patted Wang Shipeng's shoulder, and said, "Okay." I'll go first, so go back as well. Remember my words, and be sure to keep an eye on him in case he is disrespectful to the leader. After saying goodbye to him, he turned on his horse and ran forward.

Wang Shipeng looked at his distant back, thinking about what he just said, and didn't understand it very well, so he shook his head and went into the door.

Let's talk about Li Yanqing and Zhao Tong, they took everyone to travel day and night, and it only took three days to arrive in Ezhou. After the two met with Liu Rong, the helmsman of Ezhou, they couldn't help but be moved and couldn't help but cry in their arms.

I only heard Liu Rong say excitedly: "We are all looking forward to the arrival of the chief helmsman every day, and now we are finally looking forward to the two elders bringing their brothers to the rescue, and we have finally come out." ”

Li Yanqing comforted him and said: "Lord Liu Duo has taken his brothers to fight the king's gate during this time, and it has been hard, and the Shi Gang Master also asked me to bring you a message, saying that there is Lord Liu Helm guarding Ezhou, and he is very relieved." ”

After Liu Rong heard this, he felt guilty, sighed and said a lot of nonsense.

Zhao Tong on the side saw that the two were chatting endlessly, and he was already impatient to wait. But because of his feelings, he was inconvenienced, so he only chuckled and said, "Elder Li, Master Liu, I said that you two can rest for a while and eat something before talking? ”

This Liu Rong is a straight-hearted person, and when he saw Zhao Tong's appearance that he didn't care about himself, he felt unhappy. However, because of his status as an elder, he couldn't offend him, so he put on a straight face and reluctantly said, "Elder Zhao has worked hard. The day before we parted, we had already received the news that the two elders were coming, and we had already prepared the food and drinks, just waiting for the two to catch the wind and wash the dust. Just now, I just cared about talking, forgot about it, and asked Elder Zhao to forgive me. ”
