Chapter 195: The Skull Gang
The leader of the Skull Gang hates the sky and is a magical character.
His real name is Qiu Aiming, when he was young, he was a famous talent in the Jiangnan generation, when he was determined to be in the official career, determined to be admitted to the scholar, to be a big official, who expected that God was very concerned about him, five consecutive imperial examinations, he was named Sun Shan. He was resentful, so he changed his name to Hatred Heaven, and changed the object of worship from Sage Kong to Huang Chao. However, Kong had the heart of a rebellion, but he did not have the courage of Huang Chao, and ran to the grass on the Yinyang grain road.
After taking refuge in the old gang leader of the Sky Wolf Gang, he relied on his bad stomach and ghost ideas, and became a prosperous man in the Sky Wolf Gang, won the trust of the old gang leader, and became the military advisor of the Sky Wolf Gang. After the death of the old gang leader, he led a group of brothers to break away from the Sky Wolf Gang and found the Skeleton Gang, proclaiming himself the gang leader.
The leader of the Qiu gang has mediocre martial arts, but as a mental worker, he retains the habit of using his brain naturally, he is good at calculation, and is good at surprise attacks, and the success rate of robbery is the highest among the three major gangsters.
In his spare time, he likes to study the characters of the Water Margin the most, what outwitted the Birthday Gang, three dozen Zhujiazhuang, and all kinds of indiscriminate routines are familiar with him, but he wants to be the Song Gongming of the "righteous thin clouds".
He is not tall, more than three feet long, less than four feet, and in recent times, he likes to climb the big locust tree at the fork of the Skull Gang Mountain and look into the distance.
Two months ago, he met a noble man named Jin Buchang, that person is not very old, but his identity is very respectful, it is said that he is a popular person around the emperor, and even the prefect of the nearby county town is very respectful to him, so he spent 100,000 taels of silver to ask the Jin Gongzi to help move around the relationship, and seek an official and a half position for him in the imperial court.
Hatred Tian was still thinking in his heart, if I really want to recruit peace, I have to pretend to be unwilling and reluctant to excuse myself three times, of course, for the sake of the emperor's appreciation, I can only reluctantly agree, otherwise he will lead two thousand skeleton gang soldiers and horses to set foot in the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty! What kind of official will the imperial court appoint itself? I am the head of a gang, how can I be crowned a four-grade prefect, with my full reading of sage poetry and books, even if I am the prime minister, I can do it, Yunyun.
When I became an official, what Sifeng Mountain and Western Yama were, in the eyes of Lao Tzu, were just a group of ants. Lao Tzu will return the humiliation he has suffered in the past few years to you, especially the flower phoenix, damn it, how high the bed is, Lao Tzu didn't climb up all night.
Every now and then, he reveled in his fantasies, and if any of his subordinates came to report the matter, he would be scolded.
So an unwritten rule has formed within the Skull Gang: when the big boss goes up the tree, even if the sky falls, he must not be disturbed.
Unexpectedly, this golden prince will never return, so in recent days, he has been squatting at the intersection every day, waiting for the nobles sent by the imperial court to recruit An.
Ten days passed.
January passed.
Two months passed.
The hatred of heaven is about to be broken.
On this day, the day of hatred climbed the big locust tree again.
Acacia flowers in April, ten miles of fragrance.
He was immersed in fantasy.
......
Xiao Jinyan and Arrow Gongzi came to the three-way crossing, and the two left Sifeng Mountain, speeding up all the way, non-stop, and finally arrived at the territory of the Skeleton Gang before dark. This skeleton gang is not as good as Sifeng Mountain, their martial arts strength is not as good as Sifeng Mountain and Western Xinjiang Yama, so the skeleton gang was built in the dense forest, where the mountains and forests are dense and the terrain is rugged, and even the skeleton gang often gets lost and breaks into the deep mountains and cannot return, so when Xiao Jinyan and the two came to the three forks, they also made it difficult.
In front of them, one on the left and one on the left
Two roads on the right.
The two dismounted.
Arrow Gongzi looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Which path to choose?"
"On the left, of course. ”
"Why?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "Geniuses to the left, madmen to the right." ”
Arrow Gongzi sneered, "You can't help this kind of opportunistic mind." ”
Xiao Jinyan thought about it, yes, can't because I'm a genius, let's go our separate ways, he bent down and picked up a few stones, threw them around, the arrow boy was puzzled, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Jinyan said with a smile, "This is called throwing stones and asking for directions." ”
Arrow Gongzi shook his head, "Ask the ghosts, there are really you." ”
Xiao Jinyan didn't pay attention to it, picked up the stone again, and threw it around.
Ouch!
Poof!
At this moment, Hatred Tianzheng was indulging in his Zhao'an dream, and suddenly a whoosh hit, his head was in sharp pain, he screamed, fell from the tree, and fell into the grass, and couldn't help but scold angrily, "Who did it, it's tired and crooked, isn't it?" He looked up and saw two strangers, Xiao Jinyan and Jian Gongzi, standing sideways in front of the horse, their faces were heavy, and asked, "Did you hit me with a hidden weapon just now?"
Xiao Jinyan searched for it, only to find that there was a person standing in the grass, but this person was too short, and his head was only half exposed.
Xiao Jinyan stepped forward and arched his hand, "This old brother is ...... down"
Hatred Tian interrupted, "Doll, the hair on the corners of your mouth has grown, who is your brother?"
As he spoke, he covered a big bag on his forehead, limped out, and saw Xiao Jinyan's long figure, and climbed onto a stone, barely half a head taller than Xiao Jinyan, he looked down at him, and said arrogantly, "Lao Tzu is forty years old this year, you call me brother?"
Xiao Jinyan saw that he looked cute, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, brother, I'm going to visit the Skeleton Gang to visit the leader of the Hate Heavenly Enemy Gang in the next year, and I have an important letter to pass on to him.
Hatred Tian saw that Xiao Jinyan had a righteous face, and looked like a member of the official family, could it be that I robbed the house all these years, and finally moved the imperial court and sent someone to recruit him? Thinking of this, his face was flushed, and he was speechless with excitement, and then he thought about it, how can he say that he is also a helper, he can't ask too directly, I will stabilize them first, and see what they are doing, so I asked tentatively, "What is the matter with you looking for the enemy gang leader?"
When Xiao Jinyan heard him say this, he said in his heart that he had found the right person, so he said, "I heard that the leader of the Skeleton Gang at the foot of Skull Mountain hates the sky, punishes evil and promotes good, and righteousness is thin and cloudy. ”
Hatred Tianyi was secretly happy when he heard this, and it seemed that someone in the court was not fake, so he said, "Didn't you say that there was a letter to be handed over?"
Xiao Jinyan pretended to look around, and after making sure that there was no one, he said in a low voice, "I can't hide it, this matter is related to the fate of the brothers of the Skeleton Gang, and this letter will be handed over in person after I can only see the leader of the Qiu Gang." ”
Hatred day heard this, and said that the court thought very thoughtfully, this is because I am afraid that after I enter the court as an official, no one in the mountains can control the brothers, and deliberately do not let the news leak out, so he said with a smile, "This is easy to say, two distinguished guests came from afar, and the wind and dust all the way must be extremely hard, and they have the courage to help us to make the decision, please go up the mountain to talk!"
Xiao Jinyan smiled, "Then thank you, I don't know what to call my brother?"
Hatred Tianluo groaned, and said: "In the next hatred Aiming, the word is loyal, and the number is to report to the country." Come with me, both of you!"
Xiao Jinyan arched his hand, "The two of us are the second general."
”
Hatred of the sky with Xiao Jinyan and Arrow Gongzi from the left side of the path uphill, he is proficient in the method of gossip, in order to prevent the imperial court from sending officers and soldiers to clear the clearing, he will take the tree as a formation, hide the road up the mountain of Skull Mountain in the forest, turn left and right, and then walk out of the mountain forest. Xiao Jinyan could see that this road was extremely dangerous, and if he accidentally stepped on the wrong footwork, it was easy to fall into the forest and not be able to get out.
Along the way, Hate Tian was very enthusiastic, and wanted to get some useful information from Xiao Jinyan's mouth, such as the imperial court preparing to make himself a few officials, how to settle down for the brothers in the house, and which dignitaries and nobles were sent to Shangfeng, etc., Xiao Jinyan was also confused, and he didn't know what he was talking about, so he had to fool the past. As soon as he joined the Skull Gang, he saw that everyone was very respectful to Hate Tian, and he had already guessed his identity, but he didn't know what medicine was sold in the Hate Sky Gourd, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense easily.
After entering the lobby, Hated Heaven ordered people to serve fragrant tea, turned to leave, and after a while, changed into an official robe without a supplement.
This official robe was a little wide on him, and it looked nondescript.
The official robe was found after robbing a troupe back then, and Hate Tian liked it very much in his heart, so he kept it.
Xiao Jinyan and Jian Gongzi's eyes widened.
Hatred of Heaven took two steps forward, and he had already thrown the idea of three words and three thanks into the clouds, and kowtowed, "Xiaguan hates the sky, greetings Lord Tianguan, and is ready to listen to the seal!"
Xiao Jinyan was stunned, "What?"
Hate Tian asked, "Aren't the two adults sent by Jin Gongzi to recruit peace to Skull Mountain?"
Xiao Jinyan saw him say this, where did he know what Jin Gongzi was, but who he was, he quickly guessed the clue, laughed, and covered up: "The enemy gang leader has good eyesight, the official hides it so deeply, how did the gang leader find out?"
Hatred Tian smiled, "Xiaguan doesn't have the ability, he is still very accurate in looking at people." ”
Arrow Gongzi said coldly, "It's really accurate!"
"I know that Jin Gongzi is a noble person next to the emperor, and I thought that his old man and noble man were so forgetful that he forgot about his subordinates!"
Xiao Jinyan laughed and said, "What is the Qiu gang leader, Jin Gongzi has a good memory, this is not the time to return to the capital, I will do this for you, after it is done, we set off from the capital, day and night, who expected that there was an accident on the way, and we were delayed in Sifeng Mountain for a few days." ”
When Hatred Tian heard that it was Sifeng Mountain again, he asked, "Those four sluts in Sifeng Mountain didn't embarrass adults, right?"
Xiao Jinyan sneered, "Do you think that there is only one Sifeng Mountain, and this official will put it in his eyes?"
"That's right, adults have their own natural appearance, as long as the adults show their identities, they must not dare to be embarrassed by adults. ”
The more Xiao Jinyan hung on him, the more curious he became, so he asked tentatively, "My lord, I wonder how many officials the imperial court is going to award this time?"
After Xiao Jinyan learned that Boss Yan was plotting, he came to the Skeleton Gang this time, and wanted to pretend to be the envoy of Sifeng Mountain, provoke them to join forces to deal with Yama in Western Xinjiang, and relieve the siege of Zhao Lanjiang, but who expected that the crooked fight was right, and the hatred of the sky actually regarded him as a messenger from the capital, so he decided to plan it, and shook a letter in his hand in front of his eyes, and said: "Then it depends on the performance of the enemy gang leader?"
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "I heard that the leader of the Qiu Gang has a lot of relationship with Sifeng Mountain and Western Xinjiang Yama. ”
Hatred Tian patted his chest and said, "There is no such thing, those two groups are crazy and murderous robbers, how can I know them?"
"That's good, you come here with your ears, and Jin Gongzi will give you a few words. ”
