First Entering Shiwan Lane Chapter 54: Planning
It turned out that Qi Delonggang and Yu Zhao were chatting, but this way of communication was a bit special. Everyone in the courtyard listened to Zheng Da's explanation, and the hearts that were originally worried about the two of them were completely let go. Immediately, they didn't pay much attention to the battle situation between the two, but instead sat around the table, drinking tea and discussing other things.
Of course, the top priority at the moment is naturally how to deal with the fourth prince Wen Yanlie tomorrow night. From yesterday afternoon to this moment today, most of the energy of everyone in the Wanshiwu was focused on Yuzhao and Qi Delonggang, who were fighting. The emotional drama that has been staged for two days in a row has not yet come to an end.
Because there had been an incident before that Qi Qi was taken away and then returned safely, the hearts of everyone in the Wanshi House actually underestimated the strength of the evil warrior and the fourth prince Wen Yanlie and the seriousness of this matter. Everyone didn't pay much attention to it, saying that it was to take the heir and punish the evil, but no one really took it seriously, this was all an illusion brought about by Qiqi's easy escape.
These people who have no sense of tension do not include Yao Yu and Zheng Da. The two of them were the direct participants who knew the evil martial arts back then, and they had the deepest understanding of the strength of the evil martial arts, and the two of them were the ones who had really seen the peak of the evil martial arts.
Now in the younger generation of the Wanshi House, except for Shakusu and Shengqi, several other people escaped from the small casino twice in a row. They knew that there was a gap with the evil warriors, but they didn't feel that the gap was too much to contend with.
At this time, Liu Buxiu suddenly remembered the Yang steward he met when he was inquiring about the situation in the small casino, and he was very impressed by Yang steward's moon picker. So he asked Zheng Da: "Senior Zheng, I don't know if you have heard of gambling Wang Baoqiang?"
When Zheng Da heard this title, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but then regained his calm expression and replied slowly: "Gambling King Baoqiang is also a master with some reputation in the rivers and lakes twenty years ago, I naturally know it. ”
"Then senior, do you know what happened to this gambling king now, and how did he destroy the evil martial artist at that time?" Liu Buxiu saw that Zheng Da knew this person, and asked.
Zheng Da hesitated for a moment, his face showed a look of reminiscence, and the emotions in his tone were very complicated, and he said: "Twenty years ago, I was not the head of the Thousand Machines Sect, when my master Jiang Majin received invitations from various sects and established the Evil Alliance. Prepare to raise the power of the rivers and lakes to destroy the evil warriors. However, we underestimated the strength of the evil warriors, and due to the fact that the so-called famous disciples who had been pampered and arrogant for many years attacked without authorization, the Evil Alliance has been in a state of fighting on its own. “
"At that time, the evil warriors were huge, not only in the rivers and lakes, but even the officials of the current dynasty also practiced evil arts, trying to enjoy the wealth forever. So at the beginning, the battle power of the people in the alliance suffered huge losses, but there was no turning back when the bow was opened, and the evil warriors were all cruel and cold-blooded monsters, and they would be avenged. If you can't destroy it in one go, I'm afraid that the rivers and lakes will never be peaceful. When we were secretly worried and preparing for a decisive battle with the evil warriors, we suddenly ushered in a large number of martial artists composed of small factions and scattered cultivators to join, including the gambling king Baoqiang. “
"Most of those small sects are family members or relatives and friends who were killed by evil warriors, and they have a deep blood feud with the evil warriors. With them in our hands, we made up for it in numbers, and we won many victories in the battles that followed, and finally wiped out the evil warriors, and only some shrimp soldiers and crabs would escape. At that time, I didn't expect them to make any waves, so I didn't try so hard to chase and kill. In the final battle, the gambling king Baoqiang was seriously injured, and his life was saved under the treatment of my master, but his skills have regressed, and he is almost no different from ordinary people. After we separated, his body was a little weaker than ordinary people, and he was sure that he would die soon. ”
Liu Buxiu was very surprised, recalling the manager Yang he saw in the casino, where he looked a little weak, he was obviously strong and strong, and his martial arts were outstanding. With a skeptical tone, he confirmed: "Senior Zheng, are you sure that the gambling king Baoqiang is very weak, and he is not as good as an ordinary person?"
"That's natural, I treated the gambling king Baoqiang with my master and his old man, can I still lie to you? However, why do you have such a question?" Zheng Da was surprised that Liu Buxiu knew that the gambling king Baoqiang, and after thinking about it, it may be that the old drunkard secretly told Liu Buxiu. I didn't think much about it anymore, but I asked Liu endlessly rather strangely.
"Senior Zheng, just a few days ago, a few of us met an elderly evil martial artist who could 'take the moon' in a small casino. After thinking about it, I only thought that the gambling king Baoqiang would be a master, and didn't he say that it was lost? How could it appear in Weiling City?" Liu Buxiu told Zheng Da about what he encountered in the small casino that day.
"Is there such a thing?" Zheng Da's eyes widened suddenly, and there was a look of shock in his eyes.
"Could it be that the descendant of the gambling king Baoqiang inherited his moves? Otherwise, with his identity as a participant in the punishment of evil at that time, it would be impossible for him to become an evil warrior no matter what. Yao Yu tilted his head and thought about it, and proposed a possibility.
"Senior Yao, I don't know how old the gambling king Baoqiang was twenty years ago?" asked Yu Xiaohang.
"Twenty years ago, he would have been in his thirties and forties. ”
"That's impossible, the old evil warriors we have seen are definitely more than fifty years old, if they are descendants, how can their sons be as big as their fathers?" Liu Buxiu denied Yao Yu's conjecture and analyzed.
"What does that person look like, but what are his characteristics?" Zheng Da asked.
The man's face was withered, his eyes were sharp, and his body was clumsy, except that his hands were smooth and shiny, like that of a young man. Liu replied.
"Also, the man had a goatee. Xiao Yue added.
After listening to the introduction of the two, Zheng Da was sure in his heart that the person must be the gambling king Baoqiang himself, so he let out a long breath and sighed: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the old friends who fought side by side in the past are now going to become enemies, and the world is really impermanent." ”
"Lao Zheng, back then, gambling Wang Baoqiang's parents were all killed by evil martial artists, and it was precisely because of this deep hatred that he killed evil martial arts so desperately, so that he ended up being weak and weak. And what is the reason why he can let go of his hatred and turn to the camp of the evil warriors?" Yao Yu felt that this matter was strange, and he still didn't believe that gambling king Baoqiang would do such a thing.
"We have no way of knowing this, but I'm afraid we will only have to wait until we see him in person tomorrow night to ask him clearly. Zheng Da shook his head helplessly and said.
After Zheng Da finished speaking, several people at the table fell into a short silence, and everyone was thoughtful in their hearts, not knowing what they were summing up.
Liu Fang broke the silence at this time and asked Xiao Yue: "Xiao Yueyue, didn't you go to the boat gang, how is the situation over there?"
As soon as they heard Liu Fang talk about it, a few people at the table thought that there was such a thing. Their eyes turned to Xiao Yue, expecting her answer.
"Weiling's boat gang rudder can produce more than 1,000 good players, which is already the limit. But I have already sent a message to the rudders around me, and some of them will come one after another, because it is by water, and the superior ships of our boat gang are as fast as they are, and by to-morrow evening they will be able to gather more than 3,000 men. Xiao Yue introduced his achievements to everyone with a straight face.
"More than 2,000 people appeared in Weiling at once, wouldn't it be too ostentatious and abrupt? With such a large population flow, it would not be good to alarm the Fourth Prince, Wen Yanlie. Yu Xiaohang asked Xiao Yue worriedly.
"The fourth prince Wen Yanlie is now ready to send an arrow, and he has to send it, and it's too late to regret it now. Moreover, the brothers of our boat gang all came with the merchant ships, and they are usually the workers of the docks and the shipwrights, so they will not be noticeable at all, so don't worry. Xiao Yue was very proud and proudly explained to Yu Xiaohang.
"That's only 3,000 people, which is barely enough to cover the number of people in Beijing, and we still need some manpower. Zheng seniors, how many people are there in the door of Qianjimen, can it be revealed to the younger generations. Liu Buxiu compared the currently known number of combat power of the two sides, and deeply felt that the number of people on his side was insufficient, so he asked Zheng Da instead.
"The number of our Qianjimen is not much, they are all dormant in the dark, and only at the critical moment will the true body appear, you don't have to think about the Qianjimen, even if they fight, they will not shoot easily. Zheng Da said incomprehensibly, the meaning was obvious, the people of Qianjimen would not be exposed.
Liu Buxiu's face was full of sadness, although the more than 3,000 boat gangs were not bad in individual combat strength, but they had to face the Beijing camp that was proficient in the battle formation and fought with real knives and guns on the battlefield, and the difference in numbers did not mean that they could be evenly matched. The real battle can only have the effect of delaying, and trying to crush the elite of the 3,000 Beijing battalion with well-equipped and tacit understanding is basically a fool's dream, where do the rest of the people come from.
Liu didn't stop thinking about it, and always felt that there was something missing. Thinking about it, he slapped his thigh violently, and he grabbed the point he had missed. The tenth prince Wen Yanzheng was too quiet over there, at this time, Wen Yanzheng was not in a hurry at all, and he didn't let Du Chun say a word or anything, it was really strange, this was a big matter about who could sit on the throne.
"Uncle, uncle, give me some money. ”
The sound of a beggar coming in through the curtain of the front hall came in, and the attention of everyone at the table was immediately drawn to it.
"This beggar, endlessly. The shopkeeper, I'll blow him away, the province is annoying at the door, and it will affect our business. Yu Xiaohang was irritable when he heard it, and said to Liu Buxiu that he was going to get up and go out to bomb people.
"Xiaohang, I used to be a beggar, everyone is trying to survive, why do you have to blow him away. You all sit here, and I'll go out and have a look. Liu Buxiu pressed Yu Xiaohang's shoulder, signaled him to stop, and then walked to the front hall by himself.
After entering the front hall, Liu Buxiu saw the situation clearly, a beggar tugging at the sleeve of a man in a fancy costume kept asking for money. The beggar is Bu Jingxin's son, and the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes is the boss of the Hailan Business Alliance, Du Chundu, who he was still talking about just now.
Liu Buxiu smiled in his heart: I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived. Then he walked over to Du Chun with a smiling face, and saluted Du Chun with a fist: "Boss Du, why are you here." ”
Du Chun tugged at the sleeves stretched by the beggar, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, I have something to tell you." After speaking, he pulled hard and pulled the sleeve out of Bu Jingxin's hand, and Bu Jingxin gave it away, fell a butt squat, and the stick in his hand rolled aside.
Liu Buxiu said to Bu in disgust: "Go and go, ask for food at the same time, otherwise I will report to the official." ”
Bu frightened pretended to be very aggrieved and picked up his stick, returned to the beckoning cat and sat down, muttering: "So rich and so deducted." ”
Liu Buxiu smiled and stretched out his hand: "Boss Du, please come to the house." ”
"Good. Du Chun lifted the elongated sleeves and entered the store with Liu Buxiu.
