Jiang Wenlun and Xu Yao have their own opportunities, and the group of salt lords who helped Jiang Wenlun before, but they don't have the benefit of luck, and the situation is a little difficult.

After Ke Yuyu regained his lost territory, he was promoted repeatedly, and in less than a year, he was promoted to the Sihu of Caochuan County. And Xie Le'an and other salt lords, since the fake defeat, sent Jiang Wenlun to Liuyang City, and gradually began to be unlucky.

After tying up the wives and children of the third-grade sword-bearing captain of the Shangduan Houfu and the wind and thunder palm Wang Lie, although he returned to Zhao and put them back, he naturally offended this powerful figure of the Shangduan Houfu.

Later, when he was doing the salt barrage business as usual, it was smooth sailing when he went, and Xie Le'an led a scattered team and planned to go back to the mountains to rest. After walking for more than 20 miles, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out head-on, and they killed the generals when they met.

Xie Le'an and Wei Zhenghao, who led their brothers in the past, confronted the officers and soldiers, all of them were ten, and they were unstoppable, but this time they came not the officers and soldiers in the Southern Chu court, they were clearly characters on the rivers and lakes, and they all had some martial arts cultivation in their bodies.

Wei Zhenghao brought some close brothers alone, killed them for a while, looked back at the battle situation on all sides, it was already an embattled situation, he was only one or two hundred people, trapped in the center, and the other party looked prepared, no matter in terms of the number or quality of manpower, it far exceeded himself and others.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people under him, and some familiar faces didn't know where they were rushed, Wei Zhenghao panicked, and he saw it in a hurry, but he couldn't see where Xie Anle was, for fear that he would be captured by the officers and soldiers.

However, although Wei Zhenghao did not have Xie Anle's brain, he knew that he would not be spared after a long battle at this time, so he had to lead this and two hundred brothers and fight bravely to break out of the encirclement.

I just killed it, and I saw that there were a lot of people in front of me, as if they were besieging their own brothers. Wei Zhenghao said loudly to his subordinate brothers: "My eldest brother Xie Le'an, must be trapped in that group of people, you are willing to help me to save it, please come with me, I don't want to die today." ”

When the brothers heard this, they responded like thunder: "I don't want to die today, I am willing to follow the second master and rescue the big boss" lost this courage, such as one or two hundred tigers down the mountain, roared in unison, the earth shook, Wei Zhenghao held a single knife in his right hand, and saw a roll on the ground, like a dragon swinging its tail, the horse hit the horse and fell, and the person hit the person and turned over.

The brothers followed closely behind, and in the blink of an eye, they were in a tight encirclement. Xie Le'an is trapped helplessly, if Wei Zhenghao arrives a moment later, Xie Le'an will fall into the hands of this group of people, and when the time comes, he will want to wield a knife to kill himself, and he will also ask the other party if he agrees.

Fortunately, although there are many people in this group, it seems that they are also improvised patchwork of people, and seeing Wei Zhenghao so brave, he can't help but feel a little cold. Wherever Wei Zhenghao went, he retreated, got out of the way, and let everyone escape, and he didn't dare to chase after him.

After Xie Le'an and the others escaped, they took out their hands to investigate, only to know that this group of people was not ambushed in advance to clean up themselves and others, but to surround and intercept a few people who escaped from the foot of Juma Mountain.

After meeting his own gang of salt lords, he wanted to sell the favor of the Duanhou Mansion, so he wanted to clean up himself and others, who knew that he knew that the bones of these salt lords were also very hard, and he didn't want to have too many deaths and injuries among himself, so he let Xie Le'an and his party go.

Although the two brothers were not injured this time, many of their brothers were killed and injured. They have never been defeated like this since they became salt barons.

The so-called Wuthering Mountains and Forests are all thanks to a sharp spirit. As soon as this spirit was setback, people's hearts naturally became a little sluggish, Xie Le'an had to lead his defeated brother to flee into a deep mountain, and proposed to Wei Zhenghao: "I can't think of a fake defeat before, but now it has become a real defeat, so that our two brothers have lost this little foundation in less than a month or two."

"Although this is due to my improper planning, there is a secret and providence in it. After offending Wang Lie, it is already even more difficult for us to regain our previous momentum at this moment. ”

"I think the cheap big brother before us is in Cao Chuan, and his position is not small, so it is not difficult to take care of us if he has the heart to take care of us. ”

"I'm going to tell you to go to Caochuan County to look for him first, and then bring a letter to him. Look at his attitude towards you, and after you reply, I will make a plan, I don't know what the virtuous brother thinks?"

Wei Zhenghao listened to Xie Le'an's words, hesitated for a while, and said, "Now I have to do this." The matter between me and you in Liuyang is indeed too big. ”

"But I always feel that Brother Ke is an official and not necessarily reliable. I'm rough, I don't have much talent, I don't want to be jealous, it's better to test it first."

"If he is willing to treat me as his own, the second brother might as well go, if he sets up an official frame and does not recognize me as a brother, or is very cold, we will have to look for a way. ”

Xie Le'an said: "If he doesn't recognize you as a brother, we naturally don't need to go again, even if you have to leave Cao Chuan as soon as possible." ”

"But when we go to him, we have to think for him, he is a man of fame, and if the news of the matter of worshipping us leaks outside, he may be killed immediately. ”

"We asked him for help, but it didn't bother him. When you get there, you must first buy the porter and deliver my letter, and see what he commands. In the yamen, it is no better than in the mountains, and it is better to be patient and cautious in everything. ”

"Even if he has twelve points of mind to promote us now, he is limited to status and situation, and many of them cannot be shown on the surface. You can't just because he's very cold outside, so he's not angry anymore. ”

When Wei Zhenghao heard this, he nodded and said: "As long as he is willing to recognize me as his brother, no matter how he treats me badly, I think he is the leading brother, and I will never be angry with him." ”

"But our two brothers have always been doing this business together, and although my reputation is not as big as that of my second brother, I have long been caught with a reward. I set off from here to Caochuan, and it was hard to guarantee that no one would order eye medicine on the way. ”

"If I leave at this time, I will not let anyone know about it, and I will not stop on the road. Without delay, change your name and surname, and go out at night, you can succeed. ”

"It's just that after arriving in Cao Chuan, I threw the second brother's letter up, if he obliterates Tianliang and forcibly arrests me to correct the Fa on the spot, didn't I throw myself into the net and give my life in vain?"

Xie Le'an tilted his head and thought for a while: "I don't think he will do this, and he is not worth it." Those who want to be rewarded are the errand servants and alternate little masters. ”

"He's done it, so why do you have these actions. And he has been a prefectural and county official here for so long, and he has already heard of the reputation of the two of us. You should also know that we are not to be messed with. Killing you will do him no good himself, and if he keeps me alive, he will never want to lie down with his head in his back henceforth."

"He is a shrewd and capable man, why do you do such a harmful and useless thing to yourself, you can go with confidence, if he is really fooled and killed, I will come forward to avenge you, and sacrifice your heart to you."

Wei Zhenghao trusted Xie Le'an very much, Xie Le'an asked him to do something, even if he went to the soup and fire, he would not refuse. The two discussed at that time, Wei Zhenghao picked up the package he was carrying, brought a letter written by Xie Le'an to Ke Yuyu, and set off for Cao Chuan on the same day.

On the road, it is inevitable to stay overnight, hungry and thirsty. All the way non-stop, I arrived at Cao Chuan safely. Wei Zhenghao didn't leave the inn, carried the burden, ran straight into the yamen, pulled the porter and said: "I'm from Lord Ke's hometown, here's a letter, please send it for me, I'll wait here for a reply." ”

Wei Zhenghao is reckless, he has no background at first glance, he is dressed in a suit, coarse clothes and linen, and he can't get on the stage. The gatekeepers in the yamen are all high-eyed and low-handed, where to see Wei Zhenghao in their eyes.

I thought it was just a letter with a bit of origin, and I came here to ask for an errand, but I didn't even bother to pay attention to it. Instead, he raised his head, stilted his legs, and spoke to the person next to him.

When Wei Zhenghao was a salt lord in Liuyang, his subordinates were also a hundred people, where did he suffer such a snub? Yide's character when he was in the mountains, he was about to beat people, but now when he thought in his heart, if Xie Le'an told him to be patient and cautious in everything, his fire instinct was accepted.

Reluctantly, with a smiling face, he said to the porter: "Please send this letter in for me, I have something important to wait for a reply."

The porter still didn't pay attention to it, only sneered in his nostrils, and continued to say to the person next to him: "I don't know where the wild plague god came from, who is he talking to." The person next to him glanced at Shi Wei Zhenghao, and suddenly his face was full of contempt, and he also sneered in his nostrils, and his face fell again.

Wei Zhenghao saw this situation, and suddenly remembered Xie Le'an's words about buying the porter. Secretly thought to himself: "It turns out that the gatekeeper in the yamen must have money to give him, so that he is willing to report for others. ”

"It's so dangerous that I forgot what my second brother commanded, and I didn't give him the silver, no wonder he showed me such a face, this is my own bad, I can't blame him. ”

Wei Zhenghao thought so in his heart, and then took out a bag of loose silver from the baggage and was about to give it to the porter, about twenty taels, and held the letter to Ke Yuyu with both hands, and held it in front of this lively person, and said with a smile: "I am a countryman, I came to the yamen for the first time, I don't know the etiquette, this is a little meaning, I forgot to take it out, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please go and drink a glass of wine by yourself." ”

After hearing these words, the porter felt that he was listening, and then turned his face away, and first looked at Wei Zhenghao's hand, as if he still had a slight dislike for a slight look, and refused to let out a smile.

And stretched out his hand to take it, and took a look in the palm of his hand, knowing that the weight was not light, it didn't look like a countryman's shot, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly stood up and smiled at Wei Zhenghao: "Why bother to spend so much, please sit here for a while, I will personally send this letter immediately, if there is a reply, I will know when I come down." ”
