There was a large table in the main hall of the house, and fifty or sixty people surrounded the table, all of them drunk, sitting or standing, lying or kneeling, and they were full of ugliness.

At the front of the wine table sat a tall young man with sword eyebrows. Seeing Ye Linfeng suddenly break in, he stood up abruptly and exclaimed, "Ye Gang Master!" But it was Chen Youliang, the traitor of the 36th Gang who took away Zhao Yanfa's white horse at that time.

Ye Linfeng roared angrily: "I let you escape that day, and I also took away Brother Zhao's white horse, if I don't say that you are killed here, I will be ashamed of my reputation Ye Linfeng!"

Jumped on the table in one step, strode vertically, and the cups and plates on the table that only stepped on were shattered. Chen Youliang jumped back in fright and shouted: "Gang Leader Ye, listen to my explanation, I didn't leak the secrets of the gang to Zhang Shicheng, the real traitor is actually Brother Wu!"

"Are you still spewing blood at this time!" Ye Linfeng roared angrily, jumped in front of Chen Youliang, reached out and grabbed his collar, lifted his tall body, and hung it in the air. Chen Youliang's face was flushed, his feet kicked wildly, but he was restrained by Ye Linfeng and couldn't move.

Cang Chang Cang Chang screamed a few times, and the fifty or sixty people behind him pulled out their swords one after another, pointing at Ye Linfeng from afar. The big man with the rough voice just now shouted viciously: "That kid, if you know each other, let go of Brother Chen quickly, otherwise you will have no return!"

Before the words fell, I could only hear a loud smile outside the door: "I didn't expect this fake Jianghu rebel army to be the acquaintance of the Ye gang leader!" Jin Shaoyou and Yang Wenyuan stepped into the room. Jin Shaoyou's feather fan shook lightly and said, "Gang Master Ye, it seems that tonight will not only allow us to suppress the thieves, but also allow you to clear the door, killing two birds with one stone, it is really a great joy!"

Ye Linfeng saw the two of them come in, knowing that even if Chen Youliang had great ability, he would definitely not be able to escape, so he threw him to the ground.

Chen Youliang fell to the ground, extremely embarrassed, hurriedly got up, looked at the two, and asked, "Who are you?"

Jin Shaoyou smiled slightly and said, "Since Your Excellency is the righteous army of my Jianghu people, don't you know you?"

Chen Youliang looked him up and down, and saw that he was elegant and extraordinary, with a feather fan in his hand, he already had a plan in his heart, smiled slightly, and said: "It turned out to be Jin Shaoyou Jin Junshi, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Jin Shaoyou's voice changed suddenly, and he asked: "What is your Excellency's conspiracy, why do you want to pretend to be the righteous army of my Jianghu people, do evil here, and damage the reputation of my Jianghu people!"

Chen Youliang saw that the main owner came to the door, knowing that the matter was exposed, he panicked, turned around and wanted to escape, but was rushed by Ye Linfeng, slapped him on the back, screamed in pain, and fell to the ground. When everyone in the room saw Chen Youliang being beaten, they all roared angrily, and waved the sword in their hand towards Ye Linfeng. When he arrived, the house was in chaos, the tables and chairs overturned, and the dishes fell to the ground, shattering to the ground.

"Don't let that Chen Youliang run away!" Ye Linfeng shouted, took off the Frost Moon Knife behind his back, but did not remove the black cloth, and grabbed it with both hands to resist everyone's attack. But he was pushed by everyone and retreated straight back. With a bang, he hit the wall behind him, and there was no way back.

Seeing that everyone was besieging Ye Linfeng, Chen Youliang got up and was about to run out. Just ran two steps, but saw a figure standing in front of him, blocking the way, and when he looked up, it was Yang Wenyuan.

"You despicable and shameless villain, why do you want to ruin the reputation of my Jianghu rebels!"

Yang Wenyuan was resentful in his heart, and when he held the hilt of the sword and was about to draw the sword, he saw Chen Youliang lean forward, and spit out a black shadow from his mouth. Because he leaned forward, he deliberately got very close to Yang Wenyuan. He thought to himself that at such a close distance, Yang Wenyuan would definitely not be able to avoid it. Sure enough, he is a vicious person, which is chilling!

But who knew that Yang Wenyuan had been taught by Guo Bodhisattva in his early years because he was not alert, and he was taught the "Hidden Six Senses" mental method of the Xuanming Sect. When Chen Youliang stepped forward, he was already on guard, and drew his long sword to block in front of him. The black shadow slammed into the sword, causing a spark and falling to the ground, but it was a jujube pit nail about an inch long!

Chen Youliang didn't think that he could block it, roared angrily, wrapped his arms around Yang Wenyuan's waist, and slammed his body forward, and the two of them actually got up and down, and fell to the ground together. Jin Shaoyou strode forward, pulled out the judge's pen, and stabbed at Chen Youliang.

Seeing this, Chen Youliang spit out a jujube core nail from his mouth and hit Jin Shaoyou's door. Jin Shaoyou didn't check for a while, and was hit in the cheek, and immediately bloody. Chen Youliang took the opportunity to move forward, pushed Jin Shaoyou away, and fled from the door.

Ye Linfeng, who was confronting everyone on the side, was trembling at the moment. When he was in the 36th Gang before, although Chen Youliang was young and strong, he was a scholar with a polite temperament, and he had never seen him show his skills in front of anyone, and the master of Wutang, who had been with him for many years, did not know that he knew martial arts. Only then did he see that he was able to retreat under the siege of Jin Shaoyou and Yang Wenyuan. knew that he deliberately hid his strength before, and did not show the dew, and sure enough, the city government was extremely deep. If it is allowed to develop, it will be a great rival to itself in the future.

Thinking of this, he reached out and slapped the knife hard, and with a bang, the thick black cloth wrapped around the Frost Moon Knife exploded and split into pieces, revealing the swarthy blade. He grasped the long hilt of the sword with both hands and slashed it in front of him, and in an instant the sword broke, blood splattered, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground.

Ye Linfeng broke a crack in the crowd and rushed out, leaving a sentence: "Jinjun Division, Yang Shaoxia, these thieves will be handed over to you to deal with!"

Yang Wenyuan stood up. Just now, he was restrained by Chen Youliang, and he was angry in his heart, and at this moment, he looked at the forty-five people in front of him, and his face showed murderous intent: "You miscellaneous people, you have ruined the reputation of my Jianghu people's righteous army, and I will let you pay for your blood debts today!"

Although everyone had swords in their hands, they were not martial arts masters, and seeing that the young man in white was ruthless and murderous, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shouted that he was wronged.

Jin Shaoyou took a step forward, pressed down Yang Wenyuan's right hand that wanted to draw the sword, wiped the blood on his cheek with his sleeve, and asked, "How did you say that you were wronged?"

The leader of the previous rugged man who looked like everyone knelt on the ground at this moment, grabbed the ground with his head, and shouted: "Jin Jun Shi Yang Shaoxia spare my life, we are peasant disciples, and the younger ones are the lords of Shennong Hall. ”

The peasant family was also one of the hundred schools of thought in the previous period, and it was a school that focused on agricultural production. Its representative figure is Xu Xing of Shandong. Although the peasant family is not as brilliant as the Confucian and Modao soldiers or the vertical and horizontal, it has been inherited for thousands of years, and it can be regarded as an ancient sect.

Zhu Gui said: "Now the court is corrupt, the world is in chaos, and there are locust plagues and droughts that make the people miserable, and the people are hungry. Although my peasant family is not a sect, the peasant disciples are also bloody men, although they can't revolt like General Qin, but they also have the heart to serve the country. In accordance with the ancient books of the pre-Qin peasant family, the method of cultivation was improved in order to produce more grain, and then it was popularized everywhere, so that the people would not starve. ”

Jin Shaoyou listened and praised his approach. For example, the reason why the rebels are everywhere today, in addition to the corruption of the court, there is also one of the most important things, that is, famine. In recent years, natural disasters have continued everywhere, locust plagues and droughts have made the people have no harvest, but the imperial court does not know how to provide relief, but instead intensifies the collection of taxes, and the people are even more miserable, so they can no longer bear it, and they rebel.

From ancient times to the present, when did an uprising not rebel because the people did not have enough to eat? If the people could eat enough every day and live and work in peace and contentment, who would risk the crime of death to rebel? It seems that although this peasant family is not a popular sect, it can hit the nail on the head, discover the problem, and do not talk about it, but practice it by example

, but it is the most pragmatic of the hundred schools of thought.

Zhu Gui said: "More than a month ago, a person came to my Shennong Hall, named Chen Youliang. When he saw us cultivating grain and grass, he shook his head and said, "The hall masters are admired for the country and the people, but now the world is in chaos, and the war may burn here one day, and the hard work of the hall masters will be in vain." Besides, the improvement of this cultivation method by the hall masters is also on paper, and it will not be effective until the grain matures after the autumn. Even if the hall masters succeed in this method, but now the world is in turmoil, and in this chaotic world, it is extremely difficult for the hall masters to promote it. ’”

I saw that what he said was reasonable, but I was not convinced, so I retorted that I was a farming method that had been passed down by farmers for thousands of years, and it would definitely increase grain production. I have hundreds of peasant disciples, and when the time comes, let them lobby everywhere, and they will definitely be able to promote it. Who knew that the man smiled and said: "I don't look down on the hall masters, but now the general trend of the world is different, Anhui has Liu Futong and Guo Zixing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, Hubei has Xu Shouhui and Ming Yuzhen, Shandong has Qin Shuyuan, Henan has Zhao Yanfa, and Yangzhou also has Ye Linfeng. The rebels and the imperial court have become fire and water, the imperial court has run out of energy, and it is only a matter of time before it falls. ’”

I thought what he said was reasonable, but I was still unconvinced, so I argued with him again that now the rebels are rising, and the grain and grass are the first to march and fight, and in the world, except for Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, who occupy the rich land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is no shortage of grain and grass, and the other rebels are in short supply of grain and grass. I can also go and spread it to the leaders of the rebels. He shook his head and said, "Although what the hall master said is true, it is not wise. Now the rebels from all walks of life rebelled precisely because they were hungry, in order to grab food from the imperial court, and no food and grass was their greatest belief. At this time, the rebels from all walks of life are in full swing, if the hall masters let them eat enough, the rebels will lose their greatest faith, and who will rebel? Since Zhao Chou's hard work for decades has been in vain, it is possible that the Tartars will sit on the rivers and mountains of our Han people for another few hundred years!'"

Zhu Gui paused, and a trace of guilt appeared on his face: "After his words, he was completely convinced, and asked him how to do his plan now." He smiled slightly, and said that he would learn from the righteous army in the world and rebel. ”

Jin Shaoyou listened, and said in his heart that this Chen Youliang is really a character, and the nobles who said it in a few words were convinced. This is a great way to turn black and white upside down and confuse right and wrong. But he savored these words again, and felt that it was not unreasonable. I have mixed feelings in my heart.

Zhu Gui said: "I asked him if he could rebel, but under what name? Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Guo Zixing, they relied on the White Lotus Sect to revolt, Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng revolted in the name of the Salt Gang, and General Qin, Zhao Yanfa and Ye Linfeng all revolted in the name of the rivers and lakes. My peasant family does not have a high status in the rivers and lakes, and there are few disciples in the sect, so if I revolt in this name, I am afraid that no one will respond. Who knew that Chen Youliang smiled and said, "Since the hall masters have a heart, then don't worry, brother, I have already thought of a good plan." Since we have revolted in Shandong, we don't need to set up a name anymore, just pretend to be in the name of the Jianghu people. The Jianghu rebel army is huge in Shandong, and General Qin Shuyuan is a world-famous chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and in his name, the people will respond. ’”

"I saw that he was going to revolt under the pretense of the reputation of the Jianghu rebels, and I felt that it was inappropriate, but I was afraid that General Qin would be blamed if he knew about it. But Chen Youliang said that if our righteous army was brave, defeated the Yuan army, and did something good for the people, General Qin would not only not blame, but maybe let us join the Jianghu people and become a real righteous army. I also thought he had a point, so I agreed. Because this Chen Youliang is very strategic, I Zhugui is a rough man, so I entrusted him with the power of this righteous army. At the beginning, he did lead his brothers to defeat a few groups of Yuan troops and did a few good deeds. But more than ten days have passed, and we still don't see General Qin sending people, and the brothers are waiting anxiously. But who knew that Chen Youliang suddenly asked us to rob our homes and do some hurtful things. The brothers were puzzled, but Chen Youliang said that good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, if we do a few bad things, it will reach the ears of General Qin in less than half a day, and he will send someone to come, and then we will explain the reason and beg him to let us join the righteous army. Only then did these things come about! Fang Cai Jin Junshi and Yang Shaoxia reported their names, and the brothers were very happy, thinking that Chen Youliang would definitely explain the situation to the two of them, and let us join the Jianghu people to make a contribution, but they never thought that he would hurt Jinjun Shi and escape alone!"

Jin Shaoyou listened, only felt that this Chen Youliang was really not a thing in the pool, and he deceived the peasant disciples around the world, and finally he bought it and gave him money.

Zhu Gui and a group of peasant disciples knelt on the ground together, shouting: "Master Jinjun, I Zhugui have no heart, I was deceived by that Chen Youliang, and I did these things that hurt the heavens and reason, I know that I am guilty of a lot of sin, I don't need to say that Master Jinjun deserves to die to apologize!"

As he spoke, he picked up a large knife on the ground, the blade facing inward, and thought about wiping it out of his throat. A cold light flew from the side and hit the blade. With a bang, the blade of the knife broke off and fell to the ground, leaving only one hilt in the nobles' hands. Zhu Gui looked down and saw that what broke the blade was a swarthy jujube core nail, and the person who shot it was Yang Wenyuan.

Zhu Gui was surprised in his heart and shouted: "Yang Shaoxia, I am a guilty person, why do you want to save me?"

Yang Wenyuan turned around and did not answer. Jin Shaoyou on the side smiled slightly and said: "The hall masters are righteous and awe-inspiring, for the sake of the people, and they are a generation of heroes. It's just that he has no heart and was deceived by Chen Youliang's rhetoric. The hall masters don't have to feel guilty about this, Jin will definitely inform General Qin about the secret situation here. ”

When everyone heard this, they all grabbed the ground with their heads, and they made a clang, thanking Jin Shaoyou and Yang Wenyuan for their grace not to kill. Jin Shaoyou saw that they were honest and responsible, and he couldn't bear it, so he helped Zhu Gui up. A group of peasant disciples stood up one after another.

Zhu Gui said: "Jin Junshi, although I am a rough person, but I also have the heart to serve the country with fists, and I also ask Jin Junshi to go back and say a few good words in front of General Qin, I Zhugui is willing to take the peasant brothers to join the Jianghu people and join General Qin's service." ”

Jin Shaoyou laughed and said: "The hall masters and all the peasant brothers are all good men, Jin is here today, so he will be the master of General Qin once, and he will answer for him!"

Everyone was excited and grateful.

Ye Linfeng chased Chen Youliang all the way. When he first arrived outside the door, he saw him jump onto the high wall of Yufu and escape. Light work, but it is not weak. Ye Linfeng was even more ruthless in his heart, and he chased after him quickly, jumping over the high wall. As soon as he landed, he saw four bright steel knives slashing in front of him, and four people blocked Ye Linfeng's way in front of him. A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Chen Youliang's mouth, and he turned around and disappeared into the vast night.

Ye Linfeng held the Frost Moon Knife and swung it forward, and with a bang, the four steel knives broke together, and the four people were also shocked to break their hearts, bleeding from the seven orifices, and fell to the ground and died. Ye Linfeng chased in the direction of Chen Youliang's escape. Until he entered a narrow alley, Chen Youliang was gone, and his footsteps could not be heard.

It was pitch black in this alley, and the cold moonlight could not penetrate the endless darkness. Ye Linfeng knew that Chen Youliang must be hiding in a dark corner somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to plot. He didn't dare to be careless, and held the Frost Moon Knife in his hand, cautiously.

Two winds swished, Ye Linfeng listened to the wind and argued, and waved the Frost Moon Knife to block. With two bells, the two jujube core nails were knocked to the ground, but Ye Linfeng was shocked by the internal strength contained in the jujube core nails, and his hands were numb.

The mouth weapon is different from the hand device, and it needs to be supported by a strong internal force to be able to exert the amazing power of the hidden weapon. Chen Youliang

The jujube kernel nail that spit out can numb Ye Linfeng's hands, which shows that he must have profound internal strength. Ye Linfeng didn't expect that this scholar-like person who used to look polite and powerless was also a martial arts master. Sure enough, people can't be disfigured!

Chen Youliang fired a hidden weapon, which also revealed the location of his hidden traces. After Ye Linfeng knocked down the jujube core nail, he reacted instantly, strode away, and slashed towards the darkness in front of him.

With a whoosh, a figure escaped from the darkness and ran down the alley towards the north. Ye Linfeng took a long step and chased after him. The two of them circled in the winding alleys and alleys, and Ye Linfeng was always a stone's throw away from him.

After running for a long time, the city wall of Yizhou Mansion appeared in front of him. When the two soldiers defending the city saw the two men coming, they met them with swords and shouted, "Who is it?"

Chen Youliang spat out a jujube pit nail and hit a soldier in the cheek. The soldier screamed in pain and fell to the ground. When his companion saw it, he swung his big knife and slashed it, but Chen Youliang flashed sideways, pinched the soldier's throat with his left hand, and with a force, he snapped his neck with a click.

Chen Youliang glanced at the high city wall, paused, ran a few steps forward, and jumped onto the city wall with a bang. Before he could stand firmly, he heard the sound of the whirring wind behind him, and when he looked back, it turned out that Ye Linfeng saw that he couldn't catch up with him, so he was in a hurry and threw the Frost Moon Knife in his hand hard. The wide and heavy Frost Moon Knife spun rapidly, full of strength.

Chen Youliang couldn't dodge for a while, and was hit in the waist by the back of the knife, his body was crooked, and he fell outside the city wall. Ye Linfeng followed closely behind, jumped over the city wall, and when he landed, he saw that in addition to a few willow trees standing alone in the open space outside the city wall, Chen Youliang's figure was missing, as well as his Frost Moon Knife.

Ye Linfeng knew that Chen Youliang was injured in the waist and abdomen by him and couldn't run far, so he looked around and walked cautiously towards the front. As soon as he walked up to a willow tree, he realized that something was wrong, and struck at the willow tree with one palm. A figure jumped out of the bushes, holding a big knife and slashing at Ye Linfeng.

Ye Linfeng dodged, the blade of the knife chopped on the ground, and a hole appeared. Ye Linfeng roared angrily, stepped on the back of the Frost Moon Knife with one foot, and stepped hard, while swinging the back of his left hand forward, hitting Chen Youliang's chest. Chen Youliang took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ye Linfeng pulled out the Frost Moon Knife from the ground, carried it on his shoulder, and shouted, "Brother Chen, I didn't expect that you are not only peerless in scheming, but also so powerful in martial arts. Not only have you deceived me, but even Hall Master Wu, who has been with you for many years, has been deceived by you!"

Chen Youliang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "It's really flattering to be praised by Gang Master Ye!"

Ye Linfeng asked: "Brother Chen, I have never understood, you are obviously so powerful, but why do you hide it so tightly and never show it?"

Chen Youliang smiled slightly and said, "Now the world is not my stage, there is no need to be too eye-catching." I have bigger plans, and you're all just my springboard. ”

Ye Linfeng sneered and asked, "Can the bigger plot that Brother Chen said be made clear?"

Chen Youliang laughed and said, "Gang Master Ye, you are a smart person, do you want me to say it? Of course, what I am plotting is the whole world!"

Ye Linfeng smiled: "Brother Chen defected from me, but do you think I can't take over this world?"

Chen Youliang said: "The Ye Gang Leader is a young hero, proficient in the way of unity and indulgence, and lobbied the thirty-six gangs in Jiangnan with the power of one person for your use, how many of them can there be in the world with such courage? ”

Ye Linfeng's face was hot, but after calming down and reflecting on it, he also felt that what Chen Youliang said was not unreasonable. He is a leader in the rivers and lakes in terms of martial arts and courage, but from ancient times to the present, the dynasty has changed, which emperor is sitting on the dragon chair by virtue of martial arts?

Seeing him bow his head in contemplation, Chen Youliang smiled slightly, and said, "Gang Master Ye, you may feel uncomfortable when I say these words. But it's a fact, and I can see that you can't take the world. According to my thoughts, after the 36th Gang of Hezong captured Yangzhou, they had to recruit troops, and the momentum was already there, and the rest was strength. Most of the righteous soldiers in the gang are people in the rivers and lakes, with strong martial arts, and they can be ten with one, and even one as a hundred. If I were you, I would take advantage of the righteous army to capture Yangzhou, and go south to form an alliance with Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen, and Taoguang will be obscure. Today, among the rebels, the Red Turban Army of the White Lotus Sect is the most powerful, the most widely used, and the most promising force to seize the world. Naturally, the imperial court will not let it grow, and it will definitely be attacked by a large army. If the two sides fight, they will inevitably lose both, and then you will take advantage of the weakness and destroy the Red Turban Army in one fell swoop. Then recruit troops and horses for the Northern Expedition. At that time, the imperial court was also injured, and naturally it was powerless to fight. If you take most of the capital, your dream of owning the world will come true!"

Ye Linfeng said in his heart: This Chen Youliang is really scheming, and the world is like a chess game in front of him. He can clearly understand the general trend of the world, and he really can't underestimate him.

Ye Linfeng smiled slightly and said, "Maybe Brother Chen is wrong, and he may not have the heart to compete for the world, and he just wants to save the people from fire and water." ”

Chen Youliang laughed: "Gang Master Ye, there are only you and me here, why do you have to pretend again? For the sake of the common people in the world, for the sake of the people of Li, this is just empty words." In ancient times, whoever could go out hunting to feed his family had the power to dominate the people. Power is a sharp sword, and no one wants to hold this sword to run rampant in the world. If it weren't for this, do you think Han Shantong and Peng Yingyu were willing to risk their heads to rebel?"

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing towards the city gates.

Ye Linfeng pondered his words carefully, and felt that it was very reasonable. Xindao: No wonder these people he can deceive are willing to work for him. His three-inch incorruptible tongue is really powerful.

Although Ye Linfeng felt that what he said was reasonable, he was not fooled, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Chen, even if you say the sky, you can't change the fact that you betrayed." Either you will go back with me, or I will slay you here with a single sword. The choice is yours!"

Chen Youliang smiled sinisterly and said, "Gang Master Ye, whether you live or die, you choose first!"

Before the words fell, I only heard the fire in the city, and the sound of horses' hooves came, which was deafening. The city gate opened, and a group of Yuan troops rode high-headed horses and came out.

Ye Linfeng was shocked, but he also suddenly figured it out, just now he left the life of a guard, just to let him go back and report the news. And he said these words to himself here in order to stall for time, waiting for the arrival of the army.

Sure enough, it was a sinister and cunning villain! Ye Linfeng roared angrily and raised his knife to slash at Chen Youliang. Chen Youliang dodged sideways and shouted: "Ye Linfeng, the leader of the 36th Gang, is here!"

His voice was very loud and reached Yuan Jun's ears. When the soldiers heard this, they were furious and shouted, like an iron tide, rushing towards the two. Chen Youliang laughed and shouted, "Ye Gang Master, there will be a period in the future!" jumped up the willow tree, and a few ups and downs disappeared in front of him.

Ye Linfeng still wanted to chase after him, but he was surrounded by soldiers who rushed over. Spears and knives, bows and arrows and torches were all aimed at him. A majestic general grabbed the reins and shouted: "Anti-thief Ye Linfeng, if you don't ambush yet, when will you wait!"

Ye Linfeng held the hilt of the knife with both hands and crossed it in front of his chest, his eyes full of murderous intent. The light of the extinguished fire shone on his face, reflecting his resolute look!

......
