The night was deep, and the dark clouds still covered the waning moon......

After Lao Jiu overheard the conversation between Wuluo and Tuoduo and Dou Deyong in the Prime Minister's Mansion, in order not to be discovered, he quickly left the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned home.

However, after Lao Jiu left the Prime Minister's Mansion, his steps were not particularly fast. On the contrary, the more Lao Jiu walked towards the deep alley where no one walked, the slower his steps became, and it seemed that there was a difficult knot in Lao Jiu's heart.

In fact, Lao Jiu has always been very conflicted in his heart, since he saw what Dou Deyong did in Wangjia Village, and saw the hearts of Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan and others for the people, he began to hesitate which side he should stand on.

As the "old minister" of the "Tangying Society", Lao Jiu hopes that he can dedicate everything to the "Tangying Society" for the rest of his life, and he was also instructed by the former helper Dou Jinshun to assist the current helper Dou Deyong, and take the brothers of the "Tangyinghui" to realize his last wish. However, Dou Deyong not only did not inherit his father's will, but took the opposite path that violated morality, defected to the Mengyuan court, and became the enemy of the people of the world. However, after looking at the behavior of Tang Zhan and others these days, Lao Jiu couldn't help but feel that they were the ones who could really help the "Tangying Society" get on the right path, just like Wang Yuping, the girl Wang eighteen years ago......

While walking on the way home, I thought about it for a long time, and before I knew it, Lao Jiu had already walked to the door of the house. Lao Jiu's house is on the side of the "Tang Yinghui" compound, and compared with the grandeur and magnificence of the compound, Lao Jiu's house is really simple. Lao Jiu walked to the door and reached out to gently push open the dilapidated door. Slowly walked in.

Entering the house, Lao Jiu touched the darkness and lit a half-burned candle on the table. The empty house was a little brighter. However, the winter wind and snow outside the house made the space inside the house even more bleak and lonely. Lao Jiu slowly sat on the long bench with dry ashes, wrapped in sackcloth, holding the unfinished soju from yesterday in his hand, and drank a few sips before his body warmed up.

"It's been thirty years...... Lao Jiu said in a trance while drinking wine. "The old man has been a 'Tang Ying Hui' for 30 years, and he has encountered countless different paths and assisted two helpers. Today, it is others who participate in their righteousness, and they are ashamed to be ashamed ......"

As he spoke, Lao Jiu closed his eyes and drank a sip of bitter wine, and continued to babble in a daze: "Where should the fate of the 'Tang Ying Society' be? Can your spirit in heaven see it? Please call the shots for the old body......"

After talking for a while, Lao Jiu put down the wine jug in his hand, and silently looked at the faint candlelight, but in this bleak and cold night, it was difficult to calm the hesitation and contradiction in his heart......

I don't know how long it took, Lao Jiu was also silent in the house, and suddenly there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door of Lao Jiu's room. Although Lao Jiu drank a little wine at night, he still had this sense of perception. I saw that Lao Jiu was still in a somewhat drunken and hazy state just now. Then he whispered to the outside: "Since you are a visitor, why hide and hide." The old body has been through ups and downs for fifty years, and he has never turned away customers—"

After Lao Jiu finished speaking, a few people suddenly came in outside the door, their clothes were more uniform, but they were also relatively simple. Lao Jiu looked back and recognized these people as the brothers of the "Tangying Society", so he was a little surprised: "It's you...... What's the matter with looking for the old body so late, is it that the Dou gang leader asked you to get rid of the old body again?"

Although the brothers of these "Tang Yinghui" are all burly, their faces are quite kind. I only heard one person answer: "Lao Jiu, actually...... Today during the day in Wangjia Village, and in the main hall just now, when Lao Jiu talked about the old gang leader, we ...... We are also deeply touched......"

When Lao Jiu heard this, he put on a slightly surprised gaze and continued to look at the people in front of the door.

The man said: "Actually, we also miss the old gang leader, who warned our brothers about the way of life and 'deep morality and compassion for the people', and we are also very concerned about our brothers...... But today, the gang leader slandered the old gang leader more than once in front of everyone, and we were very upset when we heard it, brother......"

After listening to his words, Lao Jiu's eyes rolled, and then he asked with a smile: "Oh, why don't you want to go?" When the old gang leader was alive, especially when Miss Wang made a bet with the old gang leader, the 'Tangying Society' was poor and destitute, but you didn't dislike it; now the current gang leader has taken refuge in the Mengyuan court and wants the brothers to live a life of food and wine, but you are disgusted, this reason...... The old body doesn't know what to think. ”

After Lao Jiu finished speaking, another brother of the "Tang Ying Association" said: "Lao Jiu, when Lao Jiu was alive, he told us what morality was. The morality of the deeds is related to the brothers who share the difficulties, and the big ones send their hearts to the people of the world. When the old gang leader was in power, he always taught us the right way to behave, and although the life was poor and the world was in chaos, the brothers always believed in the old gang leader's words. However, after the new gang leader succeeded to the throne, not only did he not inherit the legacy of the old gang leader, but instead went against it and took refuge in the Mengyuan court. Today, when he was in Wangjia Village and the conference hall, Dou Gang Leader was still the old gang leader of his late father, and many of the brothers of the 'Tangying Society' felt disgusted——"

When Lao Jiu heard this, he held his chin, smiled and said, "That...... What the hell do you guys want?"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "Not only us, but many of our brothers below us who think the same way as us...... Today, seeing Lao Jiu, you did not back down in front of the Dou gang leader for the sake of the old gang leader, our brothers were very moved when they saw it, and we all hoped to draw a clear line with Dou Deyong's personality like Lao Jiu you——"

"It's not for the old gang leader, but for the 'Tang Ying Society' to take the right path......," Lao Jiu added with a smile, "Since we are the brothers of the 'Tang Ying Society', we have to dedicate everything to the 'Tang Ying Society' wholeheartedly, although the 'Tang Ying Society' has always been just a bandit gang in the eyes of others before......

"What about us brothers...... What to do?" the man continued.

Lao Jiu sighed lightly, took another sip of cold wine, and then said slowly: "Hey, this world is complicated, let's take a look...... If only someone could come out and guide us again, just like Miss Wang who pointed us out eighteen years ago......"

Lao Jiu said so. The other brothers of the "Tang Ying Society" also bowed their heads and pondered. Because it was getting late, Lao Jiu was afraid that Dou Deyong would be suspicious when he came back and saw so many people in his family getting together, so he also asked the other brothers to go back......

An unquiet night. In this way, in the cold and loneliness, it passed in a trance......

The next day, Yuxing City returned to its former market. Although the war outside the city is approaching, the city is still the same, and the common people still work as usual, and walk the streets. The only difference is that the soldiers in the city patrol much more vigorously than before. And there are soldiers who are constantly posting wanted notices along the streets......

"That's what it is...... Yuxing City?" Coming to the city gate, Lu Meng saw the scene in the city from afar, and couldn't help but sigh. "It's still the same, it doesn't look like it's going to be a war......"

On this day, Tang Zhan, Lu Jing and others followed the road that the villagers said the day before yesterday, and the six of them came to Yuxing City together.

Lu Jing glanced at it. Casually responded: "Listen to the village chief." This is the west gate of Yuxing City, and the war is on the verge of the east of Yuxing City, and it is normal that it is still dull here. ”

"But don't you think that the officers and soldiers in the city patrolled too strictly today?" Li Yuru also noticed the soldiers coming and going back at the city gate, and couldn't help but say, "There is a war in the east of the city, how can this west of the city be so strict, how can we enter the city?"

"Could it be that we let Dou Deyong go yesterday. So he went back and told the Ullo to Todo, who thought we were back. Just strengthen the vigilance in the city?" Tang Zhan also asked.

"No......," Zhao Zichuan replied, "just for a few of us, is it necessary for the Wuluo to use the troops of the whole city in a big way?"

"If it's to know the secrets of the Tang Sect family, then it's ......not impossible to make such a big move," Lu Jing added.

Lu Zhao thought for a while, and responded: "That's it, you guys wait here, I'll go over and see the situation first, because there seems to be a notice posted on this city wall, I wonder if it will have something to do with the notice on the wall......

Lu Jing thought about it for a while, and then said: "Okay, Dou Deyong didn't have a deep impression of you yesterday, brother, you can go to investigate the situation, but be careful-"

"I know how to ......" Lu Zhao agreed, and then went to the city gate post first......

It didn't take long for Lu Zhao to walk back quickly, and then he gasped a little and said, "It's troublesome now, the wanted notice posted on the city wall is for us——"

"What?" Li Yuru said in surprise, "That Urlo took Todo to really strengthen our guard for us—"

"Dou Deyong had a confrontation with us yesterday, maybe he remembered our appearances roughly......" Lu Jing thought for a while, and then asked: "Brother, how many notices do you see on the wall?"

"Four-" Lu Zhao replied, "It's you, Sister Jing, and the wanted portraits of the four of you, Brother Zichuan, sister-in-law Yuru, and Brother Tang Zhan." ”

Zhao Zichuan listened, pouted and said, "Okay, you Dou Deyong, you are impressed by the four of us, right?"

"Who told us that yesterday it was the four of us who taught his men a lesson to the fullest?" Li Yuru followed.

"Okay, four people is better than six...... Lu Jing said, "at least...... My brother and my brother Dou Deyong are not very impressed, and we can use this to sneak into the city......"

"How do you mix it up?" asked Tang Zhan.

"I'm still thinking about ...... way," Lu Jing said slowly while holding her chin.

Zhao Zichuan suddenly had an idea, and said: "I have a way, maybe it will work......

As soon as Zhao Zichuan said, everyone's eyes looked at him......

There are four guards at the front and back of the city gate, two at the front gate and two at the back gate, and then the patrol branch in the city will also take turns to patrol here regularly. Since Tang Zhan's wanted notices were posted in the city today, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of all those who entered the city would carefully check them......

Not far from the city gate, four men walked, two of them carrying a flat pole, and two of them followed one after the other. The two people who carried the flat shoulder in the middle were dressed in robes, and their hats also covered their faces deeply. The two escorts in front and back are very down, just wearing fabric.

The two before and after this are none other than Lu Zhao and Lu Meng, who are not wanted, and the two people who carry the flat burden in the middle are Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan who have been dressed in disguise, and the flat stretcher is the pear flower gun wrapped by Tang Zhan in brown steps, and Lu Jing and Li Yuru are hidden under the burden - it seems that they want to use this way to infiltrate Yuxing City.

"I thought you could figure something out. I didn't expect it to be such a cowardly behavior again...... "Li Yuru and Lu Jing curled up under their burdens, and Li Yuru couldn't help but say, "Last time I was in the Bianliang Nangong compound. Zichuan, you put on such an ugly pretend, I didn't expect you to cringe even more today......"

"Shhh......hhh

"At least that's a way to get into the city. Sister-in-law, you will just get down......" Lu Jing, who was with Li Yuru, whispered, "It's a big deal that outsiders will know the Tao in the future, just say that you don't know that big fool——"

"You-" Zhao Zichuan saw that Lu Jing was still looking for an opportunity to "hack" himself at this time. I also felt very unhappy in my heart, if it weren't for the critical time now, Zhao Zichuan really wanted to throw the flat shoulder out of the gang with one hand, and let Lu Jing fall and gnaw on the mud......

"Be careful. It's time to enter the city—" At this time. Lu Zhao reminded softly in front.

The four of them walked quickly to the city, and Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan, who were sandwiched in the middle, carried a flat shoulder in one hand and covered the brim of their hats with the other, trying not to let the officers and soldiers defending the city see their faces.

However, when the four of them entered the city like this, the officers and soldiers at the gate still noticed, and then one of the soldiers made a stop gesture and said, "Hey, you guys." What for?"

Lu Zhao, who was walking in the front, paused, then stepped forward and said with a smile: "This official." The villain sent some urgent things to the lord of the house, and sent someone to bring something. ”

The officers and soldiers looked behind and found that Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan did not show their faces, and then looked at the flat pole carried in the middle, so they asked, "Who are they, and what is in this flat pole?"

Lu Zhao slowed down, and then smiled again: "This official, the two of them are naturally consignees, it's better to ask the official to do it, let us go, the master of the family is still waiting——"

"What is so important that you have to carry it with a flat pole?" the officer and soldier asked again.

"This official, isn't it normal to pick things up?" Lu Zhao said with a smile again.

"Are you teasing me, four people pick a flat pole?" the officer and soldier suddenly glared, "When your grandfather is an idiot, tell me honestly, what is in there?"

"It's not...... Aren't you guarding the intersection to check people, why do you have to check things?" Lu Zhao asked again.

"Isn't your heart weak?" the officer and soldier suddenly raised their knives and said, "Today, your grandfather, I still have to take a look at the hell of this flat burden?"

Lu Jing and Li Yuru, who were hidden in the burden, were originally very nervous, but when they heard the words of the officers and soldiers, they were angry, and they really wanted to jump out immediately and beat him hard.

"Someone, check for me—" The officers and soldiers shouted, and then the two officers and soldiers from the back door also came up, and the two people who followed the front door seemed to mean to forcibly search.

"Eh, the official ......" Lu Zhao wanted to stop him, but was pushed away by the officers and soldiers in front.

"Open the flat pole—" The officers and soldiers immediately ordered Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan.

Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan were also a little nervous now, but they seemed to have decided what to do, and stood aside for a while without taking action.

"You didn't hear what Lao Tzu said, did you, open the flat pole for me—" The officer and soldier yelled, and then put a knife on Tang Zhan's neck in front of him.

Tang Zhan tilted his head slightly, nodded to Zhao Zichuan, and then slowly put down the flat shoulder, and then Tang Zhan put down his hand...... Suddenly, Tang Zhan suddenly waved his hand and punched the front officer and soldier in front of him, directly giving the officer and soldier a "head-to-head sound". The officer and soldier didn't pay attention, and directly covered his nose and was suffocated to the ground, screaming.

Zhao Zichuan in the back did not slow down, and took off his hats with Tang Zhan, and then came up and shouted with his fist, and the three people behind him were also knocked down instantly.

Lu Jing and Li Yuru heard the movement outside, and they couldn't help it, they jumped out of the flat pole directly, and then looked at the officer and soldier who had insulted them just now on the ground, and the two of them stepped on their feet at the same time and scolded: "Pick dung, pick dung, you pick up dung, you can pick up dung yourself!"

After speaking, Li Yuru slammed the lid of the flat shoulder on the head of the officer and soldier. The officer and soldier saw that it was Tang Zhan and the others, and shouted in pain: "Ahhh

The sound reached the ears of the patrolmen in the city, and the soldiers in the city quickly reacted and rushed towards the west gate of the city.

"There's no way, rush into the city first, and then talk about ......" Lu Jing said, and then the six of them sped up their steps and rushed into the city, taking advantage of the fact that the patrol soldiers had not yet discovered themselves, they hurriedly entered the city and prepared to hide...... (To be continued......)
