The next day, Yang Ying left 400 people to guard Lotus Mountain and led the team to withdraw to Gaochang City.

Duan You also calmed down.

In the detention of Lu Dian, there were forty or fifty people surnamed Duan, Dou, Suo, and An, most of whom were the heads of the family, and their wives and children died. Duan Huo and other cadres were detained nine years ago, first detained in the secret prison of Gaochang City, and were tracked down by Lu Dian to find out the whereabouts of Ji Juehuan. Before Gaochang City was captured by the Xiliang soldiers, Lü Dian escorted them to Lotus Mountain and served as miscellaneous servants until they were rescued by Duan You and Yang Falcon.

After Chen Zhong and the three of them found out the news, they rushed to Gaochang from Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, and met Chen Ji and his party who were rushing back to Gaogoubao on Jiuquan Road, and went to Gaochang together, found out the situation of Lotus Mountain, and pretended to be a son. I wanted to save everyone from leaving or getting out, but it was easy to get in and difficult to get out, and I had been planting grapes in the Lotus Valley for nearly three months.

The day before yesterday, I heard that there was a war outside the mountain gate, and after inquiring, it was said that the Gaochang soldiers of Xiliang came to attack again, and there was a young man holding a bamboo stick, and he was injured by two generals in Liang, which was very good. Chen Ji and Chen Zhong immediately guessed that it was Master Duan, so they secretly prepared to open the door to pick them up. There is no need to say anything about what happened after that.

Back in Gaochang City, Yang Falcon feasted the three armies, and set up another banquet in the Taishou Mansion to thank Duan Youyou.

This attack on Lotus Mountain, if it weren't for Duan You, it would be really difficult to break through, but if there was no Duan Kui and Duan Feng, there would be nothing to do. During the banquet, Duan You toasted Duan Feng, saying that the beatings were heavy, and Duan Feng said that this was called Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer. Everyone laughed.

At night, Duan You gathered Duan Kui, Chen Ji, Chen Zhong, Duan Feng and others together, and said: "I am very relieved that I can save dozens of people such as Master Duan Huo when I come to Lotus Mountain this time, but Ling'er still has no news, it is a great pity, I don't know what year and month I can find if I continue to search for it? I have an idea, which has been brewing in my heart for dozens of days, that is, to set up a beggar gang, and order the beggars and homeless people in the world to help me find Ling'er!"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Ji, Chen Zhong and others were surprised and delighted, excited, and their hearts were full of pride. Chen Ji said: "We have been bullied since we were children, and since we were protected by Master, we have no worries about food and clothing, and we have dignity as human beings. The beggars in the world are all lonely and miserable, and the master set up this banner and established the beggar gang, which is really the well-being of the beggars in the world. ”

Duan Jing also said excitedly: "As soon as the beggar gang is established, it should be the largest gang in the world, who dares to compete in the rivers and lakes?

Duan Youzhi said: "Don't say this, don't have such thoughts! I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I am afraid that it will cause the countries to shake, so I hesitate and do not make a decision. If I try to dominate the industry again and lead the brothers in the gang into war and killing, will I not become a sinner for the ages! Therefore, after the establishment of the beggar gang, I will not participate in the struggle between countries, this is the iron law in the gang, and it should be the first article of the gang rules. ”

"That's very good. Duan Kui praised.

"That'...... What if other countries attack us?" Chen Zhong asked, "For example, if the Yao Qin Kingdom comes to attack our Northern Liang Kingdom, can we join the war?"

"To protect the family and defend the country, it is incumbent upon my beggars to help my disciples, and we should bravely kill the invading enemy!" Duan You said sonorously. Seeing that Chen Zhong was thoughtful, he continued, "After the establishment of the Beggar Gang, the general rudder is set up in Gaogou Fort, and each country or city is set up with a rudder, which only guards its own country, and is not allowed to go with the army to conquer other countries, nor is it allowed to rush to the aid of the general rudder or the rudder. ”

Chen Zhong was relieved, and Ji'er asked again: "What if the armies of other countries attack the general rudder or sub-rudder of the beggar gang?"

Duan You said: "You asked well, the disciples of the beggar gang do not participate in the battle of the country, but they are people in the rivers and lakes, if someone is against my beggar gang, whether it is the army or the gang, they will all follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, gallop thousands of miles to help, protect me and help me!"

The crowd applauded and geared up.

Duan You immediately arranged: "Early tomorrow morning, we will go our separate ways and announce to the world that on September 9, on Suwu Mountain in Xuanwei County, Liangzhou, the founding meeting of the beggar gang will be held!" Looking at everyone, his expression was solemn, "Uncle Kui, you and Brother Duan Feng took my bamboo sticks and went straight to Gaogoubao Ruian Mansion to send an order to Zhu Yuan, and he sent his disciples to the Jin Kingdom and posted notices in various places; Chen Ji and the three of them went to Xihai County, Wei, and Yan, and Chen Zhong and the three of them went to Qinghai, Ledu, Jincheng, and Shuhan; Zhangye, back to Liangzhou Gaogou Fort. ”

The people took the command.

Early the next morning, Duan You's people said goodbye to Yang Falcon, Yang Ying sent several carriages to Duan You, carrying Duan Huo and other old people, Duan You and Duan Jing guarded, and headed east.

A few days later, turn to the southeast, all the way to the Gobi, the official road is flat, everyone sped up, and arrived at Jiuquan in a few days.

Jiuquan City is built on an oasis, the city walls are tall, and the city gate tower is quite spectacular. Duan Youyou and his entourage did not enter the city, so they asked the convoy to wait outside the city, and went to the beggars' concentration in the city with Duan Jing to post a notice.

As soon as the notice was posted, there were more than ten onlookers, and when they saw that the inscription read, "When there are a few big characters in the section of Beiliang Gaogou Fort, there are many discussions in the crowd -

"Duan You, isn't it Duan You who won the championship in the ring of Wei State?"

"Exactly, this man is eight feet tall and has three heads and six arms!"

"I don't know if there are three heads and six arms, but this section is, it is indeed a god descending to earth, I heard that the day before yesterday, General Yang Falcon suppressed the bandits in Lotus Mountain, and Duan You played with the bandit leader like a monkey. ”

"Nonsense, I heard Master Yi say that Duan You is just a teenager, not yet twenty years old. "One finger is there," about the same size as this person, if you hold a bamboo stick in your hand, it's almost the same. ”

.........

Duan Youyou was busy leaving with Duan Jing, for fear of being recognized. The Lotus Mountain bandits were suppressed and reported, Yang Falcon had already sent someone to report Pegasus to the Jiuquan court, and if Sergeant Gaochang was here, he could recognize him at a glance. Prince Li Xin was in the city, Duan You didn't want to delay, wanted to rush back to Gaogou Fort as soon as possible, and had already revised a letter to apologize, and asked Yang Falcon to take it to Li Xin.

As soon as I arrived at the convoy, I saw several horsemen coming later, and the person at the head was Li Xin, followed by the two brothers Dai Qi and Dai Lin rescued by Ledu.

Li Xin shouted from afar: "Brother Duan stay!" Before he got close, he flew off his horse and said angrily, "Brother Duan didn't enter the door, and he didn't give Li Xin a thin face." ”

Duan was embarrassed, so he had to follow Li Xin into the city.

Li Xin had cleared the best inn in the city the day before, and he was waiting for Duan Youyou. Duan Yi arrived, the shopkeeper personally busted the front and back, hospitalized, and all kinds of mountain delicacies came up like water, which made people overwhelmed.

Li Xin held the wine bottle in his hand, solemnly thanked Duan You again, and punished himself with three glasses on the grounds that he did not arrive outside the city in time to greet him. It is elegant on the outside, but quite bold on the inside.

Duan You also drank heartily.

At the time of the unitary, Li Wei, the lord of Xiliang, invited Duan You to a banquet again, and Li Xin accompanied Duan You and Duan Jing to go.

The venue of the banquet is located in Jinquan Garden, which is the most beautiful place in Jiuquan City. But see the green trees swaying, the clear spring is secluded, a pavilion stands on the surface of the lake, and the cool breeze is blowing in the pavilion.

Duan You's three people just arrived at the Huxin Pavilion, and Li Wei led two people to arrive, one was his palace attendant, and the other was tall, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a tiger's back and ape waist.

Li Wei is generous and kind, and does not have the majesty of the lord of the country, as soon as he saw Duan You, he said: "Duan Gongzi is a young man, sure enough, Fengshen Lang Jun, Le Du rescued the dog, saved the two countries from fighting, and helped me take the Lotus Mountain, and solved the big trouble of the henchmen, how fortunate is it?" and introduced the person who accompanied him, it was the general Suo Bao!

In the city of Luoyang, the great hero of Liangzhou praised by the rivers and lakes is Suo Bao!

Duan Youli room, he will tell what he heard that day. When Suo Bao heard this, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Suo Bao's name had been passed to the Central Plains. The words changed, "But it's not as good as Brother Duan, at the moment in Liangzhou, everyone is proud of you, and young people from all over the world take you as a model, and I'm jealous." ”

Everyone smiled lightly.

Let's drink and chat. Naturally, the topic came to the establishment of the Beggar Gang.

Suo Bao said: "Brother Duan, I am straightforward and fast-talking, and there is a sentence that is clear, although you have already stated in the proclamation that the beggar gang will not have the heart of hegemony, and second, it will not participate in the dispute of state affairs, but once it is established, it is inevitable that there will be ambitions and seek one side, where should it be?"

Duan You said sincerely: "The establishment of the beggar gang, for me, is really a helpless move, after the establishment of the beggar gang, these two should be set as the iron law in the gang, and the upper and lower levels should be restricted." The original intention of the gang was to let them take care of each other, so that they would not starve to death, freeze to death, and not be humiliated by others. Duan has a small wish, which is to hope that the world will be peaceful, the people will be peaceful, and the flesh and blood will get together. If everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, there are no beggars!"

Hearing these words, several people sighed with emotion, Li Wei said: "Duan Gongzi is benevolent and righteous, the people of the world, the hard war has been going on for a long time, it should be peaceful and peaceful, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment." ”

Suo Bao said again: "Brother Duan, Suo Bao is sincere, I am willing to help you become a helper." ”

Duan Youxie said: "The general's good intentions, Duan Youxin, I am the helper, there should be no accidents." ”

Suo Bao smiled and said: "Brother Duan is really heroic, but when the gang is built, there will be a dragon and tiger fight, and martial arts must be the first choice, although you are strong in martial arts, but there are so many masters in the world, you are absolutely sure?" Seeing Duan You silent, he said, "The world is unpredictable, you must prevent accidents, I am afraid that the position of this gang leader will be snatched away by people with ill intentions, and it will become a disaster in Liangzhou and the world. ”

Duan You was silent. He didn't know whether this was from the original intention or Li Hui's intention, if it was Li Hui's intention, he couldn't agree, owing a person is a trivial matter, owing a country's affection is a big thing, and the beggars can't be attached to any force.

At this time, Li Xin said: "General Suo doesn't have to worry about Brother Duan, Brother Duan won the championship in Pingcheng Ring without saying, he fought with Lu Dian the day before yesterday, and he finished abusing Lu Dian in less than forty-five rounds, in my opinion, Brother Duan's martial arts are not under General Suo." ”

Suo Bao heard it and said, "Okay, I'll try Brother Duan's skills." Seeing Duan You looking at him, he continued, "I heard that Brother Duan's dog stick method is very good, I don't have to worry about it, you and I have three palms, if Brother Duan has internal strength, I don't have to worry about it." He stood up.
