Chapter 346 (Meng Yuan Asks for Help)
There was not much time, the disciple led in a burly man, and his face was Meng Yuan, at this time he was dressed in civilian clothes, his expression was slightly haggard, his clothes were messy, and his face was nervous, seeing Ling Xiao sitting on the top, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and smiled: "Lord Ling Meng, don't come to be harmed after a farewell year, you are polite here."
Ling Xiao also smiled slightly: "Don't come to harm, General Meng has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and there must be something important to come here today, so we don't have to be polite, if there is anything but it doesn't hurt."
Meng Yuan is also a straightforward person, so he hugged his fists and said: "It's not a secret, this time I really came to ask the leader of the alliance for something important."
Ling Xiao exclaimed: "Ling and Brother Zhang Xian have nothing to do with the general since they parted from Dongchang City, but they don't know what they want me today?"
Meng Yuan said: "In fact, this matter also has a great relationship with the Jianghu martial arts..."
Zhu Di and the southern army have been fighting for a long time, in Jizhou, Donglu, Huizhou, Zhejiang and other areas of the size of hundreds of battles, every time the Yan army gets the city only because of the lack of men and horses, and repeatedly recaptured by the imperial court, and this time Ling Xiao and Qiu Fu met, it was the time when the Yan army marched south again.
On the same day, the Yan army bypassed the heavily guarded Jinan, breaking Dong'e, Wenshang, and Zou counties, and until Pei County and Xuzhou.
And when Xuzhou was about to march again, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was taken away by the southern army, and the southern army asked the Yan army to withdraw its troops before releasing the king of Yan, otherwise he would be executed on the spot for the crime of rebellion.
Ling Xiao said with a puzzled look when he heard Meng Yuan say this: "The prince was taken captive by the imperial court, what should I do if I wait?
Meng Yuan said as if talking to himself: "Since ancient times, the two armies have faced each other, and they are both above board, how can the two armies clash with each other that the commander of the army was captured by the enemy."
Ling Xiao said: "So it seems that what is the secret in this?" Meng Yuan said: "Exactly, our army's spies have been rewarded, the emperor cooperated with Hu Moupi and the Dongying people to try to defeat our army by the hands of Yiren, and the capture of the prince must have been done by Dongying Yiren."
Everyone was disgraced when they heard this, and they all thought: "No wonder the city occupied by the Dongying people suddenly withdrew all the horses, and it turned out to be in front of the two armies" only to hear Meng Yuan continue: "I listened to General Qiu's words, he once met the alliance leader, saying that the alliance leader led the martial arts heroes to go to fight with the Dongying people, and it was because he saw the Dongying people in the southern army, so he ordered me to ask to see the alliance leader and Zhang Gang Leader"
Hearing this, Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and looked at everyone: "What do you think?" Zhang Yu said: "Big brother, since the Dongying people are in the Southern Army, I can't say that we have to cooperate with General Qiu Fu on this trip" Everyone looked at each other a few times when they heard this, and they all nodded.
Ling Xiao said: "Since the heads of each faction have no opinions, then let's go to the Yan army camp with General Meng."
The group of heroes packed up and stopped, and the next day they rushed to Xuzhou, the number of heroes was quite a lot, and the momentum was amazing, passing through the hinterland of Donglu to the south through Laiwu, Qufu, Jining... etc.
After more than ten days, Meng Yuan saw that the process was slow, he was extremely anxious, worried that Zhu Di's life was in danger, so he found Ling Xiao and said with a worried face: "Ling Alliance Lord, the march of the team is really delaying the trip, and the prince is in danger, you see...?"
Ling Xiao also felt that it was too slow to march with the group of heroes, so after discussion, Ling Xiao led the heads of the beggar gang, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Longwei Dart Bureau and other factions to Xuzhou first, while the disciples of the Wuyue Sword Sect and other gangs were led by Zhao Lingyun to slowly march to Xuzhou to meet again.
The discussion was decided, and the group found a big boat in Jining, and after passing through Nanyang Lake, Dushan Lake, Zhaoyang Lake and Weishan Lake through Meng Yuan, they were not far from Xuzhou.
There is half a day to Shaoyang Lake, just into the Weishan Lake water realm, suddenly heard someone in front of the shouting "help" voice on the water surface from afar, the group of heroes heard the truth, Ling Xiao knew that there was a strange life, the boatman to speed up to see before to understand.
Just listen to the ship's justice: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a small island not far ahead, called Weishan Island, the island is full of bandits, and the water thieves who are here to rob the passing ships are vicious and ruthless, you heroes should not provoke it" Seeing his frightened look, Ling Xiao smiled and said: "The boatman just drives the boat, we are the nemesis of this water thief" The boat saw that Ling Xiao and the others were holding swords, and their appearances were different and extraordinary, so they didn't ask more.
It didn't take much effort, there was really a small island in the middle of the lake, and I saw from afar that there were large and small ships docked on the edge of the island, many of which had been seriously damaged.
Immediately afterwards, I saw more than a dozen people jumping out of the water, grabbing the rope and flying onto the deck, not to mention how water these people are, just in this cold winter wax moon, it is really good to be able to lurk in the water for so long.
Ling Xiao looked at a large number of these people, and saw that the group of people in front of him were naked, with a one-foot-long knife pinned to their waists, not like daggers and even less like commonly used weapons.
A bearded man seemed to be the leader of everyone, glanced at Ling Xiao and the others a few times and said: "I just hit a batch of goods, and this is another batch of ancestors today" The person behind him is also a bearded figure a little shorter than the former, with big shoulders and a thick waist, and suddenly saw Tang Xin's second daughter, his eyes suddenly glowed, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
He has been a water thief for some years, and there are not a few girls who have bullied the past, but the graceful figures of the two women in front of him, and the world's faces, let him take a look, and his eyes are reluctant to leave the slightest, and he only feels that if he touches this woman's hand, he is willing to die.
Just now he was still swallowing saliva at this time saliva actually flowed out, not only him, but the water thieves behind him had already seen the "fairy" in front of them, all of them laughed excitedly, full of ugliness, just when the thieves forgot themselves, they suddenly felt a cold neck, and when they reached out and touched it, there was a trace of blood, and they screamed at the moment and died.
The people who shot were the angry Zhao Lingwei and Tang Xin's two daughters, just when Zhao Lingwei was about to kill the big man with a big waist and a thick waist, only to hear Zhang Yu behind him suddenly stop and say: "Girl, stop"
Zhao Lingwei was stunned for a moment, stopped the movement in her hand, put away her sword and stepped aside and asked: "These thieves are really hateful, if you don't kill them, it's hard to understand the hatred in your heart."
Zhang Yu didn't answer and came to the big man and asked, "Do you still know me?" The big man saw that his companion died in the hands of the woman in front of him in an instant, and knew that he might have encountered a powerful person who could not be provoked.
Seeing that Zhang Yu came closer, he didn't hear Zhang Yu's question, and knelt down with a "poof" and said: "The good man spares his life, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I don't know that all the good men are coming, offending the might, the good man will spare the villain."
Zhang Yu said coldly: "When you passed by the village, you were hungry, and you wanted to beg for a meal in the farmhouse, and the family saw that you were a person who was passing by, and kindly provided you with food and drink."
Dahan was shocked when he heard this, and slowly raised his head to look at Zhang Yu, only to see that he was handsome, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember anything.
After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly remembered the young man in front of him, he saw that although Zhang Yu was much more resolute and mature than back then, his appearance had not changed much, and he immediately said as if he had seen a devil: "It turned out to be you?"
It's just that this big man is the deserter Peng Fu back then, Peng Fu was beaten by Zhang Yu for a while, and after he ran away, he felt aggrieved, and he wanted to find Zhang Yu for revenge, but when he turned around, Zhang Yu's house had already turned into ashes.
Because he was lazy to do it, he had to do some murderous and oversold things, and came here from many places, because of the excellent water quality, he formed a team of water thieves with a few gangsters here, because he was haunted in the water, and there were not a few ships that suffered from it, so as long as the ordinary people who passed through this place all fled from the wind, but they didn't expect to meet Zhang Yu and others today, and they all folded here today.
