Chapter 83: Encountering the Enemy
Fang Xihe had a headache.
His uncle's death had deprived him of a big backer in the gang, but the gang leader privately promised him that he would reuse him in the future, and gave him a simple task that would quickly establish his authority. He thought he was getting his hands dirty, but seven full days had passed, and he still hadn't been able to finish it beautifully.
You must know that in the final analysis, whether it is your uncle or Yuhu Village's brother, it is because of his mistake in the earlier mission. This mistake caused a huge loss to the gang, and although his uncle helped him resist this and earned him a promise, the brothers in the gang would not care about it.
Since the fall of Yuhu Village, there have been many remarks in the gang directed at Fang Xihe, although the gang leader later suppressed these momentum, but it still can't stop people from saying that he killed his brother and uncle. That's why Fang Xiaotian gave him the task of arresting the culprit Zhang Qing, so that he could regain his foothold in the gang.
I thought that the other party was trapped in the city, and it was not a good way to catch it, but I didn't expect that the kid who was a monkey in the mountain was so slippery that he mixed out of the city without knowing it, so that he was delayed for more than two days in vain like a headless fly in the cloud city.
It wasn't until he happened to meet a subordinate sent back by his colleague Huang Duo, and learned from him that the second son who accompanied the Qian Inspector into the mountains to look for medicine met a powerful child who intercepted Hu, and the chief housekeeper of the Qian Mansion had chased after him, that he knew that Zhang Qing had already escaped from the city.
Then he took the men and horses to the northern mountains, and joined the Yellow Helm Lord to search the mountains and search for people, but because of the rain, not only did he not find a single hair, but also lost the trace of the old housekeeper. At that time, he looked at the depressed appearance of Qian Yue, who had lost the Epitome Fruit forever because he had been more than a day, and understood that this bad thing might end up on his head.
Let Zhang Qing take away the treasure given to Lord Qian by the helper, not only will Lord Qian be unhappy, but the helper will not feel comfortable, I am afraid that he will feel that he is not doing well. Even if the uncle left more affection, he couldn't stand the consumption of doing wrong things again and again, so he frantically sent people into the mountains to search.
It's a pity that this place is rarely inhabited, and to the north is a primeval jungle, and no matter how many people throw it in, they can't make a splash, the only thing that can be sure is that they did go north.
In the end, some subordinates reminded him that Old Butler Qian was a congenital master, and as long as he chased the other party, they would definitely not be able to get rid of him. At the same time, everyone knows that going north is a dead end, so that kid is very likely to wait for an opportunity to cross the river, although the east bank is also a large wilderness, but the terrain is quite gentle, there are few fierce beasts, it is safer than the mountains on the west bank, not to mention that further east is the swamp, that side is not the territory of the Tinghe Gang, as long as the other party escapes to that side, they can do nothing.
Fang Xihe was woken up by a sentence, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this subordinate was right, even if Zhang Qing was not caught by the old housekeeper, he would not be able to return to the south with such a powerful search, then Bacheng would take this road. So as long as you wait on the river, it's easy to be able to wait for the rabbit. So he led his men to this side, gathered his men here and the nearby vassal gangs, and placed men to monitor several docks.
He now thinks that Zhang Qing only has three ways to go, either he will break to the north and die inside, or he will be chased and killed by Steward Qian, or he will cross the river and be caught by himself. Thinking of this, he was still praying that Zhang Qing would not make a mistake and go north, and that he would not be caught by Steward Qian, and that he would cross the river safely.
Only in this way can he complete the task satisfactorily, and finally give the helper an explanation, which can offset the dissatisfaction in the helper's heart to the greatest extent.
Because of this, he specially chose a very backward town to wait, just because this place is in the center of several port towns on the east coast, in order to get Zhang Qing's news as quickly as possible, he did not hesitate to endure the bad environment in front of Zhang Qing as soon as possible. There were also people on the limited docks on the west bank, but he still planned to settle the battle in the river, just to prevent Zhang Qing from escaping back to the mountains if he couldn't fight.
But after all, this is just speculation, now that he has been waiting here for several days, but there is no news, Fang Xihe can already feel the undercurrent surging among his gangs, which makes him unhappy but helpless.
I have to say that although he didn't expect Qian Yuan to be killed by Zhang Qing, his judgment was correct, and Zhang Qing did cross the river. It's just that he didn't expect Zhang Qing to find a wharf that didn't even have a record, and successfully crossed the river to a small town on the east bank.
。。。。。。
When she arrived on the east coast, she could only rely on Ah Longyin to lead the way, and she had walked through it once, but Zhang Qing's eyes were black.
"Let's try to find a less crowded road, I just heard the young man on the boat say that there is news of us looking for us. Zhang Qing instructed.
Ah Longyin nodded, she had lived in a swamp with her master since she was a child, even in the wilderness, it was difficult for her, and entering the town made her uncomfortable.
This area is also hilly and undulating, and the two of them walked along the path when Ah Longyin came, but suddenly heard a commotion behind them. Zhang Qing looked back and found a group of people carrying knives and guns from the direction of the town, and when they saw Zhang Qing and the two in front of them, they shouted excitedly.
"Brothers, today I should Liu Laoba make a fortune, everyone and I will take these two little cubs, and wait for the reward of the Tinghe Gang, everyone has a share!" Led by an ugly-looking middle-aged man with Xie Ding's eyes glowing, he actually regarded Zhang Qing and the two as his own things.
A few days ago, he received a message from the messenger of the Tinghe Gang, saying that he should pay attention to whether anyone came from the west bank, and he didn't pay much attention to it, because there was no wharf on the west bank for one or two miles up and down his side, and the boats that stopped here were basically boats from upstream and downstream.
It wasn't until I saw Lao Huotou's fishing boat the day before yesterday that I remembered that there was a small pier built by the villagers of Wild Village in the mountains over there, so I said a word to the young man, Xiao Huo, but I didn't have much hope.
But I didn't expect Xiao Huo to report to him today, saying that his father took two people across the river, but they were not young people, but a little boy in his early teens and a little girl with a masked face.
Liu Laoba didn't tell him clearly before, but now when he heard it, he knew that it was the person he was looking for, so he quickly brought someone to chase him.
Zhang Qing glanced over, and knew that it was a rabble, although there were twenty or thirty people, but in addition to the Mediterranean Sea led by the leader, there was probably a level of qi accumulation, only two or three people had internal qi cultivation, and the rest were not so much thugs, they looked more like gangsters on the street.
He sneered, stopped with Ah Longyin, and turned to wait for the guys.
"Big 。。。。。。 Big brother, that's 。。。。。。 It's them. A group of people surrounded the two of them, and Xiao Huo, who was following on the side, was panting, pointing at the two and saying to Liu Laoba.
"Well, yes, it's good for you to wait until you get back. Liu Lao Bayi pushed Xiao Huo aside and took two steps forward to him, "You two are still interesting, and you know how to wait for the eighth master when you see the eighth master coming." Alright, come with us yourself, don't waste everyone's time. ”
"Poof" Ah Longyin couldn't help laughing, she thought the proud ugly guy in front of her was really interesting.
"Hey, the little lady is still smiling, she is very bold, but what to do with her face covered, to let the eighth master palm her eyes. As he spoke, he reached out and wanted to touch the scarf on Ah Longyin's face.
Zhang Qing thinks that the guy in front of him has a bad brain, can't he see that the two of them are not easy to mess with?
In fact, Liu Laoba really didn't see it. He was a ruffian in a small place, who happened to practice a low-level exercise, got into the door by luck, and later happened to climb the thigh of the expanding Tinghe Gang. Because the Tinghe Gang didn't look down on this town, they made him the head of this town, and he never left this neighborhood in his life.
He didn't have the eyesight to see what the opponent was, but he just heard the Tinghe Gang who informed him that Zhang Qing's level had just begun to accumulate energy. This is also the information error of the Tinghe Gang, they heard it from those captives in Yuhu Village, but they didn't know that Zhang Qing advanced by leaps and bounds after that battle.
In fact, even Zhang Qing, who had just accumulated qi, was not his opponent when the exercises, moves, knowledge, and internal qi quality were comprehensively crushed, and Liu Laoba, who only had the advantage of internal qi quantity, was not his opponent, but he was a country bun, where did he know the power of the top divine skills, he thought that he was at most a little more powerful than his subordinates who began to accumulate qi.
And the envoy of the Tinghe Gang knew that there was no West Bank Wharf nearby, so he just left a sentence for routine work and did not say much, which led to Liu Laoba's great deviation from the gap in force between the enemy and us.
"Smack" Zhang Qing grabbed Liu Laoba's arm, although he knew that Ah Longyin could easily solve the person in front of him, but his machismo still made him move first.
"Yo ho, do you still want to resist?" Liu Lao Ba pulled out the single knife inserted in his back, "Then let you see how powerful the eighth master is!"
