Today's meeting will not last long, and no detailed decisions have been made, mainly to explain the general direction, the purpose of which is to let everyone have a bottom in their hearts.

After the meeting ended, Li Wuchang left a few important people to discuss the matter of the captives together and see if they could make good use of it.

If you want to force Badong in the south, you must quickly break the confrontation at the junction of the three counties, so that the people of the imperial court will suffer a loss.

Before the topic had even begun, someone came to report.

"Stunned, Padang Taishou has sent an envoy to ask to see you, and they are here for the sake of those 2,000 captives. After Jiang Minglun went out to understand the situation, he came back soon.

"Who are they?" asked Li Wuchang.

Jiang Minglun said: "A team leader surnamed Xue, it is rumored that he is an important strategist under Badong Taishou, and he also has more than a dozen guards by his side, all of whom look extraordinary, not like they are easy to mess with." ”

Yang Su interjected: "The surname is Xue, that should be Xue Peng." ”

Wu Xun asked, "Teacher Yang knows about him?"

Yang Su shook his head and said: "Just glance at him from a distance, I have heard a lot of rumors about him, he is not a simple guy, he has a great reputation in Padang, and Padang Taishou relies on him very much." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was quite curious, Yang Su has been mixed in Liangzhou for many years as the leader of the underworld, and his knowledge and heart are comparable to ordinary people, and he can get his "not simple" evaluation, but it can be known that Xue Peng should have so many brushes.

The crowd listened.

Yang Su continued: "Xue Peng is a native of Padang, in his forties, his family was poor when he was young, and he suffered a lot...... Well, let's put it this way, he is a bit similar to Feng Yi's Xiang Cong before, so you should have a rough outline in your heart. ”

Li Wuchang asked, "Is he as powerful as Xiang Cong?"

Xiang Cong is a veteran from the battlefield, has been staying in the imperial court in the east of Feng Yi set up in the army, bold and generous, like to make friends, Feng Yi east almost everyone knows, it is precisely because of this that Xiang Cong can take the opportunity to start an incident when the Hanshui Gang invaded Feng Yi, and set off a monstrous wave in the east of Feng Yi, at that time, even the second son of the Hanshui Gang, Zhu Changlong, had to talk to him well.

Yang Sudao: "It's hard to say, even if Xue Peng is not as good as Xiang Cong, I don't think it's much worse." ”

That's pretty powerful.

Jiang Minglun said with a smile: "You guys in the imperial court are really meritocracy! Before, Liu Zhifan discovered Du Chengye, a master of the green forest, and now I heard that Badong Taishou recruited underworld heroes. To be honest, a long time ago, I thought that Du Chengye was still a bloody man, but unfortunately after all, he was just a mad dog in Dali Temple, and I guess that Xue Peng was not a good person. ”

Yang Su said: "How can it be so easy to enter the public door from the underworld, if Du Chengye is just a hero of the green forest with strong martial arts and righteous righteousness, Liu Zhifan will not take a fancy to him, having ability is one thing, and being obedient is another."

The same is true for Xue Peng, Padang Taishou is interested in the characteristics of his wide network, so he deliberately recruited him, and Xue Peng has long wanted to find a strong backer, Badong Taishou is the most suitable candidate.

He doesn't have a specific position, he just hangs the identity of a staff member, in fact, he secretly helped Padang Taishou deal with a lot of things, and he did it quite neatly and neatly, and he never took credit for himself, so Padang Taishou valued him more and more.

You also know that many people around officials will look for opportunities to get some off-the-beaten-path approaches, and Xue Peng is no exception, usually doing business, opening the back door for people, doing it very carefully, not particularly excessive, and being very sensible when he gets rich, and his filial piety is in place, and Padang Taishou will turn a blind eye.

In this way, he is even more comfortable in Padang. ”

Zhao Xun said: "It seems to be a black and white character...... By the way, Mr. Yang, how is his martial arts?"

Yang Sudao: "The specific grade is not clear, because he hasn't made a personal move for a long time, but it shouldn't be low, otherwise he won't be able to get ahead in his early years, it is rumored that he is still very diligent in his practice, according to his age, as long as the talent is not too bad, even if he does not reach the eighth-grade realm now, at least it should be Xiao Wu's level, which is already very remarkable." ”

Wu Xun had only recently entered the realm of the Seventh Rank Intermediate Rank.

Of course, it was broken through with the Broken Lock Pill.

Li Wuchang smiled: "In this way, I really have a little interest in that Xue Peng." ”

Han Dazhi snorted coldly: "I admire their courage, more than a dozen people dare to enter the city, they are really not afraid of death, this is not Badong!"

Li Wuchang smiled: "What's the drop? Do you want to kill them or what?"

Han Dazhi said: "Since they are envoys now, according to the rules, we naturally can't move them, but if they dare to be arrogant, of course we have to find a way to slap them." ”

Li Wuchang remembered that when he captured 500 soldiers in the north, Lu Xuandong sent a group of men and horses to negotiate with him, but all of them died.

was ambushed by Hongnong's mountain king.

Inside the lobby.

"This must be the famous Lu Xifa Lu Zhuang Owner!"

As soon as Li Wuchang and his party walked into the lobby, Xue Peng greeted him with a smile on his face, and he looked at Li Wuchang as if he had seen a close friend he hadn't seen for many years.

Xue Peng looked only in his thirties, of medium stature, with a rather athletic physique, and with a gesture that only a master could have, and a thick calloon in his right hand, which was often sharpened by the sword.

Wei Xin's attention was on the dozen or so guards behind Xue Peng.

All the big men with knives, their temples bulging high, and their expressions calm and calm.

Jiang Minglun is right, those people are rare masters.

"In Xia Xue Peng, the strategist under Naiba Dongyun Taishou, I have seen Lord Lu Zhuang!" Xue Peng respectfully bowed his hand and introduced himself.

Li Wuchang nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Xue, look up for a long time...... You're welcome, please be seated!"

Xue Peng thanked him, sat down tightly, and continued: "I have heard that Lord Lu Zhuang is a rare young master, comparable to the five sons of Chang'an, Xue has always exaggerated the rumors, and when I saw it today, I realized that I was a little taken for granted, looking at the momentum of Lord Lu Zhuang, at least he should be a seven-grade master, right?"

Li Wuchang waved his hand and said, "The rumors are indeed exaggerated, Lu is just a little lucky, plus there are a few quite competitive subordinates. ”

"Lord Lu Zhuang is too modest!"

Xue Peng laughed, swept around, saw Yang Su, sighed, and immediately arched his hand: "It turns out that Lord Yang is also there...... Xue has seen Lord Yang!"

Yang Sudao: "I didn't expect that a small mountain and wild person like Yang could also enter Mr. Xue's eyes, it's really an honor!"

Xue Peng said with a smile: "The little people in the mountains and fields, Lord Yang really knows how to laugh!"
