At this time, Lei Kan's legs and shoulders had been hit by the beggar gang disciples, and he stumbled a few times, and he was already crumbling from left to right, as soon as Lin Jianlan arrived in the middle of the battle, he saw Zhu Chenghong's "force sweep a thousand troops" swept towards Lei Kan's neck, Lin Jianlan's heart was cold, and he used enough strength to swing the staff with his palm, and then held Lei Kan, but heard him whisper: "Lin Gongzi, I am true...... It's the difference of the old helper...... I don't know what happened to bear the name of this 'traitor'. "I'm out of breath.

Zhu Chenghong saw Lin Jianlan suddenly jump into the formation to rescue Lei Kan, he was first surprised, and then his eyes were bright, and he said sharply: "It seems that Lin Gongzi is going to take care of the housework of our beggar gang?"

Lin Jianlan said: "The younger generation is offended, I see the seniors recruit killers, if I am one step late, how can he have his life?" Zhu Protector, I really can't help it, the younger generation is entrusted by my father-in-law, and there are important things to ask this person, it is really difficult to hand it over to the beggars!"

Zhu Chenghong said: "This person is not an exaggeration to kill a thousand times or ten thousand times, Lin Gongzi, if you protect him, you will be the enemy of our entire beggar gang, and now all the sects are watching and helping each other, and they are against the court, Lin Gongzi and don't want to spoil the harmony between our two gangs!"

Lin Jianlan said: "Since there is a mutual alliance, then you should tell the younger generation what happened to the beggar gang, and when I tell my father-in-law to know, how can I kill without saying a word!"

But seeing Zhu Chenghong pondering for a long time, Fang said: "Forgive me for the inconvenience of telling you! I know that the Lin Gang Master's martial arts are world-famous, and Lin Gongzi must also be young and promising, but this beggar gang snake catching array is not your enemy, if you insist on blocking the affairs of the gang, I will not be able to explain to the Lin Gang Master if you are injured!"

Lin Jianlan had never seen such a battle, he still took a deep breath, and said contemplatively: "The younger generation knows, but I have to try hard, I'm offended!"

Lin Jianlan just wanted to try to take Lei Kan to the prominent formation, and didn't want to have too much conflict with the beggars, so he avoided backwards, but listened to the "swish" behind him Two sounds, but there was a beggar disciple in the outer circle array who stabbed him with a cane, hurriedly lowered his body to avoid Zhu Chenghong's two canes, and turned his body to point to the two people's canes and flicked twice, the two of them suddenly felt that the long staff trembled, almost unsecure, but the wrist was sore, but Lin Jianlan casually flicked his fingers so powerful, but fortunately, Zhu Chenghong's cane wind came again, and the two disciples continued to move forward with the formation, but they still looked at Lin Jianlan frequently, and they didn't expect to have such a cultivation at such a young age, and they were all shocked.

They didn't know that Lin Jianlan had been practicing diligently every day since he went down to Baiyun Mountain, coupled with his good talent, his internal strength had already entered the realm, and the Yin and Yang exercises were practiced together, and the water and fire were in the same furnace, as if climbing an extremely steep peak, if he was not careful, he would go crazy and fall into the abyss, but if he was fused, he would take a big step forward, and his power would be extraordinary.

Lin Jianlan tried his fingering, and when he saw that it was so powerful, he was overjoyed, but when he turned around, he saw Zhu Chenghong's move "Double Dragon Playing Pearl", but it was a word-cutting decision, and the two canes and tigers were forced towards him. The two of them came and went like this, all of them circled around Lei Kan, Lei Kan himself couldn't get out of the battle, and he didn't dare to move, so he had to stay in the formation, feeling that the figure in front of him was flying, and the wind and staff swept from the side, hitting his face with a faint pain.

Zhu Chenghong saw that a young descendant himself couldn't attack for a long time, and Lin Jianlan had seventy percent of his moves to dodge, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would only be fighting here in a few hours, so he was anxious in his heart, thinking while fighting, but seeing Lei Kan at a loss in the formation, he suddenly whistled, changed his double staff, and stabbed at Lei Kan.

Lin Jianlan secretly screamed in his heart, and he also hurriedly swept over, slapped Lei Kan to the side with one palm, but turned his palm into a hook with the other hand, and quickly grabbed the head of the cane, but Zhu Chenghong withdrew his two canes, turned around and forced Lei Kan again, and no longer fought with Lin Jianlan head-on, a pair of canes only greeted Lei Kan.

The beggar disciples had already seen Zhu Chenghong's intentions, and they were moving faster and faster, but they were slowly retracting inward, and they could only do it when Lei Kan retreated to the range of the bamboo cane.

Lin Jianlan was very passive at this time, seeing that the surrounding encirclement was gradually tightening, Lei Kan had almost been forced to have no place to stay, if he wanted to take care of his safety, sooner or later the two of them would be dragged exhausted, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart, and he was busy with the transportation under his feet, and the "crane volley" in the eastward cloud step soared upward.

Listening to a few whistling around, the beggar disciples in the outer circle flew over, with a bell ringing, more than a dozen long staff were pressed down, Lin Jianlan volleyed in the air, and his toes were on a staff, and the beggar disciple only felt that his hand sank, and he hurriedly carried it away with all his strength, but it was light, Lin Jianlan disappeared in an instant, and suddenly couldn't hold the long staff castrated, "Bang" With a muffled sound, it collided with the long staff in the hand of a beggar disciple on the opposite side, and both staff were swept away and landed on the ground a few feet away.

The disciple remembered the scene just now, and did not lift it up forcefully, but withdrew it downward, Lin Jianlan smiled, and paused a little hard under his feet, and the disciple suddenly felt as if he had a thousand heavy burdens in his hands, and he could no longer hold it firmly, and he even fell down with a cane.

There were three people missing, and suddenly a gap opened in the cane net in the air, Lin Jianlan let out a clear whistle, and turned it up again, just about to tear the gap bigger, but saw that the outer circle of the formation below was already small and could not be smaller, and the staff shadows overlapped, as if he wanted to smash Lei Kan, but Zhu Chenghong had already used enough strength to slash towards Lei Kan's double ribs.

Lin Jianlan hurriedly shouted: "Zhu Protector takes over!"

Although the bells inside and outside the snake hunting array were loud and loud, but still couldn't cover this shout, Zhu Chenghong hurriedly looked up, but saw two objects the size of copper coins breaking through the air, and there was a sharp sound, his heart was cold, he withdrew the two rods into one, and grabbed the right hand in the air, but he felt that the strength was just right, and the object was exhausted when it arrived in his hand, as if it was gently placed in his own hands, and it didn't seem to be a hidden weapon or anything like that.

Zhu Chenghong turned the thing in his hand slightly, but his face was shocked, and he looked up to see that Lin Jianlan had already fallen, standing in front of Lei Kan, smiling. The beggar gang disciples next to him were still eager to try, Zhu Chenghong sighed, slammed the long staff on the ground, and shouted: "Stop!"

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't dare to ask more, seeing Zhu Chenghong's face was ashen, he waved his hand and said, "Withdraw from the formation!" Although the disciples didn't know why, they still withdrew immediately, and they all arrived behind him in a moment, Zhu Chenghong arched his hand and said: "I am low in martial arts, I am really not Lin Gongzi's opponent, and I have no intention of stopping it, please!"

Lei Kan glanced at Lin Jianlan, but for some reason Zhu Chenghong suddenly changed his mind, hugged his fists and said: "I don't know what misunderstanding happened, since Zhu Protector insisted on refusing to tell him, the disciple had to go back to Chang'an to meet the Nian Gang Master and then make a decision, there will always be a day when things will come to light, if there is anything offended today, he will ask Zhu Protector for guilt again in the future!"

Zhu Chenghong was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Alas, don't you really know?"

Lei Kan turned around and said, "What does Protector Zhu mean?"

Zhu Chenghong shook his head and said: "In this case, you can go, there is Lin Gongzi to protect you all the way, I hope you can reach the general helm safely!" and said to Lin Jianlan: "Lin Gongzi is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he is worthy of being the person favored by the Lin gang leader, the hardships and dangers are still ahead, if you want to protect him, you have to be the enemy of the entire beggar gang, you have to think clearly." With that, he moved to the side, and the beggars behind him also avoided it one after another and made way for him.

Lin Jianlan flew on the horse, grateful to Zhu Chenghong for not pestering him anymore, but it was inconvenient to thank him in person, so as not to misunderstand him among the other beggars, he arched his hand slightly, and urged the horse to whip away.

Seeing that the figures of the two were gradually moving away, although the disciples saw that Lin Jianlan was strong in martial arts, they felt that he might not be able to break out of this snake catching array, and they were all very puzzled and asked questions.

Zhu Chenghong didn't say much, but sighed to everyone: "I can't catch this traitor because I am incompetent, I will quickly report to the chief helmsman to ask for guilt, and I have nothing to do with you, you should disperse." ”

Everyone said: "What is this sentence of Protector Zhu? We beggars and children are united in one heart, if there is any punishment for the chief rudder, we will bear it together." Everyone still wanted to persuade each other, but when they saw Zhu Chenghong's solemn expression and did not answer, they retreated one after another.

Zhu Chenghong stood alone on the long street, slowly lowered his head and examined the things in his hand, but they were two copper bells, I don't know when they were taken by Lin Jianlan, and neither he nor everyone was aware of it. As the beggar protector of the Hanging Eight Bells, what a shame it is to be taken away as a symbol of identity and status, the other party is still a junior who has just come out of the rivers and lakes, and he is afraid that he will lose face in front of all the disciples.

Lin Jianlan didn't publicize it, but he threw it back when he was in danger to bet that he could let them out of the battle, which really saved enough face for himself.

Zhu Chenghong hung the bell on the head of the cane again, and walked away slowly, but it was no different from an ordinary old and weak beggar, and he disappeared in the vast sea of people in an instant.

Lin Jianlan and Lei Kan went out of Hangzhou City, but they were all worried, silent, and walked quickly for a while, Lei Kan Fang stopped the horse and said: "Lin Gongzi, I'm afraid that something happened to the chief rudder, I misunderstood me deeply, there will be people from my gang on the road to hunt me down, the Nian gang leader and I have set up to wait for your father-in-law to meet at the Xianlai Restaurant in Chang'an City on the twenty-fourth of this month, you ...... You don't have to have any conflict with our gang for me, even if I am captured by them and escorted back to the helm, everything will be decided when I see the gang leader. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "I heard Uncle Qing say that your gang has set up ten rudders, and there are countless halls below, and the rivers and lakes should have heard of something wrong, but what happened this time has not revealed the slightest rumor, but it is just a secret message to the rudder to arrest you, the matter is too strange!"

Seeing that Lei Kan was silent, Lin Jianlan said again: "Besides, when you fought just now, you should know that Zhu Protector's actions are all killing moves, it seems that the order of the chief helm is probably that if you can't be captured, you will be killed on the spot, I am afraid that even if you are tied, you will not be able to see the Nian gang leader alive." ”

Lei Kan lowered his head and sighed for a while, knowing that what Lin Jianlan said was right, and he was speechless for a while.

Lin Jianlan said: "The top priority is to rush to Chang'an, first, to avoid the beggars as much as possible, and not to take the official road, and second, to quickly inquire about the news, without further ado, it is useless to sigh in this space, or go on the road." ”

Lei Kan nodded, urging the horse to go slowly, Lin Jianlan looked at his back and thought for a while, Fang "Drive" sighed, rushed up, but secretly made up his mind in his heart, although Lei Kan seemed to have been wronged, but he came here without any letters or evidence of Yongshou, just oral transmission, seeing Zhu Chenghong saw that he was very resentful, and it was not like a fraud, if Lei Kan really did something evil and defected to the gang, his rash help would make the Kuangyi Gang and the beggar gang in vain, this way we must keep him firmly watched, and make plans again in Chang'an.

If they were a little closer to the town, they would ask someone to buy some dry food from the city and rest in a secluded place. It's just that the news is very difficult to probe, although people can go into the city to inquire, but after all, they are not people in the rivers and lakes, and the description is not clear, the only thing that can be determined is that on the way out of Hangzhou, the number of beggar disciples in various towns suddenly increased.

After walking for a few days, seeing that the path gradually merged to the official road, Lin Jianlan and Lei Kan reined in their horses, stood on the side of the road from afar, saw that there were more and more pedestrians, and looked from afar, they had arrived at Luoyang, the eastern capital, where there was a rudder of the beggar gang second only to the Chang'an general rudder.

Lei Kan turned around and said: "Lin Gongzi, we have been detouring all the way, and we have been delayed for many days, the eastern capital is huge, if we still detour, I am afraid that we will not be able to reach Chang'an according to the agreed date." ”

Lin Jianlan also had a solemn face, pulled Lei Kan and said: "You are right, I am afraid that we only have to venture into the city at the moment, first, we don't have to detour, and second, we must be able to inquire about some news, but there is the second largest rudder of the beggar gang here, and it is on the way to Chang'an, your gang must be ready to 'entertain' you and me!"

Lei Kan smiled bitterly: "I was born as a beggar ganger, and I died as a beggar gang, so what does it matter if I die? It's just that if you delay Lin Gongzi's affairs, I will be sorry for my family's helper's entrustment." In this case, Longtan Tiger's Den has no choice but to break through!"

The Luoyang city gate is very tall and majestic, only a few beggars are scattered under the wall, and there are a few people who come to beg as soon as there are pedestrians, which is very unsightly.

The city guard guarding the gate looked at the pile of beggars and said, "It's really strange these days, the beggars have looked at the door for us!"

The other said: "I asked the brothers at the south gate yesterday, and they are also a bunch of beggars squatting at the gate of the city begging for money, and it is good that they can guard the gate for us, but unfortunately we can't pay them silver." ”

They both laughed loudly, but they didn't notice that the beggars were very nimble, and they had to look up and down every time they entered.
