Chapter 70: The Mountain Rain is Coming (I)
When it was dark, Yifeng mixed out of the city and turned to 'Linxia Temple'. There were only three people in the wing, Buliu, Zong Lao, and Tan Xingde's father, Tan Punian, and the rest of them wanted to assist in setting up an ambush and investigating the enemy's situation, but they were not present. This Tan Pu is over eighty years old, and he is highly respected in today's martial arts, and he is the same generation as the sect elder, but he is still a few years older. Thinking about sixty or seventy years ago, the borer committed the border, burning, killing and looting recklessly, when Tan Punian assisted the imperial court to fight against the borer as a young hero, and it happened that the general headed by him was the same surname as his family, although he had never met, and the family was also a relationship that could not be beaten, but after all, there was a bit of cordiality, and General Tan saw his bravery so he accepted him as his nephew. A few years later, the moth people died and fled, Tan Punian took advantage of the fame of his uncle General Tan to recruit people in the capital, founded the 'Tan Gate', and chased his father Tan Kaijing as the first head of the 'Tan Gate', and the uncle was named the military secretary by the imperial court for his outstanding achievements, and the 'Tan Gate' took advantage of this scenery to prosper, and the Yamen gave the 'Tan Gate' many benefits in government decrees in order to tie up with the Lord of the Shangshu,' Tan Men took the opportunity to form an alliance with the yamen in various places, specializing in arresting fugitives and bandits, assisting the yamen in encircling and suppressing the rebel forces, and eating the silver of the imperial court or the yamen and merchants in various places, and he was also half of the yamen's people. Today, the 'rootless party' has monopolized power, and some of the local government forces and Jianghu forces that are waiting for the opportunity to cling to each other are that the yamen in various places employ fewer and fewer 'Tan Men', and the business of 'Tan Men' is becoming more and more difficult, and in just two years, the income and surplus of 'Tan Men' have decreased by six or seven percent, and they can hardly afford the daily expenses of the sect and the monthly money of the disciples under them.
This Tan Punian's deeds are widely spread in the rivers and lakes, and Yifeng in the capital not only knows about it, but more than ten years ago, he can often see this old man in the streets and alleys, or in teahouses and restaurants, but in recent years, the number of times Tan Punian has appeared has become less and less. Yifeng bowed to Tan Punian first and said, "Yifeng, a disciple of his nephew, has seen Tan Lao, but he hasn't seen Tan Lao's body for several years, okay?"
Tan Punian said: "Barely passable, are you Yifeng, the eldest disciple of Delin?"
Yifeng said: "Tan Lao still remembers the younger generation. β
Tan Punian smiled and said: "It's rare to see a low-key young master like Yi Xiaoxia in the capital, how can the old man forget?"
Tan Punian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, Zong Lao also smiled slightly, Tan Punian said: "'The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves', it is a good thing that the younger generation is better than the seniors, if the generation is not as good as the generation, this martial arts will be almost over." β
After a few greetings, Yifeng hurriedly turned to the topic, explained the news he heard in detail, and nodded without leaving a head: "What do you think of the second elder?"
Zong Lao said: "It seems that there is nothing abnormal. β
Tan Punian said: "It is not an easy task to capture alive the two thousand households of the 'Golden Guard' and the 'Inner Governor's Mansion', but Yi Xiaoxia's worries are not unreasonable. β
Buliu said: "Yes, according to common sense, Yu Qibai and Shen Nanwu are the first to do this, and Wu Gelding should entrust the two of them with important tasks, and now it seems that Wu Eunuch is still not very at ease with the two of them." β
Yifeng said: "The three of us have also discussed this matter, and we feel that it is indeed a bit strange, and we must guard against it." β
Buliu said: "We have placed eyeliner next to Wu Biao, and we may also have eyeliner placed by them, and it is difficult to know which one wins or loses in the end." β
Zong Lao said: "During the discussion, there are only Lord Tang, Tan Boss, Eagle Boss, Yin Cangwolf Boss, Wolf Warrior, Mr. Huangfu, Yifeng, Liang Daxia, and you and me, everyone is as deep as the sea and the sky is not shared with Wu Gelding, and it is unlikely that Wu Gelding will pick these people as eyeliner." β
Tan Punian said: "I, 'Tan Men' and Wu Gelding, have no deep hatred, they are different. β
Yifeng said: "Tan Lao is too careful, if the head of Tan is Wu Gelding's people, we were exterminated half a year ago, how can we stay today? Taking a step back, even if there is Wu Gelding's eyeliner among us, it must have been newly inserted, otherwise the people from the 'Mansion Guard' would have come over a long time ago, and the only ones who have recently joined are Eagle and Liang Daxia, Tang Daren and other five people, these five people have assassinated Wu Jingguo, of which the eagle and other three were sentenced to palace punishment, and Liang Daxia's wife is in the hands of Wu Gelding, these five people more or less know Wu Jingguo's methods, compared to Wu Jingguo, they are more willing to believe us, and there is no real room for peace talks between them and Wu Jingguo, at most, Liang Daxia and Wu Gelding are just using each other, and they are still enemies in their bones. Since we are using each other, then we are the only chance for them to bring down Wu Gelding, and they will not betray us in any way. β
Buliu nodded and said, "Well, it must be a disciple of which sect"
Yifeng said: "Yes." β
Buliu said: "In this way, the brothers called 'Tanmen' will set up another group of ambushes five miles to the south, and if the situation changes, it is easy to respond, and in addition, we need to send people to keep an eye on the two places of 'Feilong River' and 'Peishui'. Buliu paused, and said: "I wanted to let the 'Bairen Jingtang' and Wu Gelding eat the dog, but I didn't expect that Wu Jingguo, who had revenge, would be able to put down his grudge and spend a lot of money to hire these killers, Zong Lao, the four people of the 'Bairen Jingtang' are not easy to deal with, can we scrape together another 10,000 taels of silver, and see if the owner of the building is willing to come in person." β
Zong Lao said: "There are less than two thousand taels of silver left from your friends, and ten thousand taels will not be available for a while." β
Tan Punian said: "There are still a few thousand taels of silver tickets here, which are from the money bank under the name of the 'Dragon God', presumably the killer of 'Listening to the Rain and Reading the Sword Tower' will not disagree." β
Don't stay: "It's so good, then I will ask Yi Xiaoxia to arrange these things on your behalf." β
Yifeng said: "Okay." β
Buliu said again: "Calculate the time, the people sent by Wu Gelding are almost all arranged, Sect Elder, it is time for the two of us to leave." β
Zong Lao said: "Okay, I want to see who they will send." β
Bu Liudao: "Old Tan, I bother you to sit here, and the monk will take over Liang Daxia's family in a while and ask Tan Lao to escort the retreat first." β
Tan Punian said: "Okay." β
After that, the three of them went their separate ways.
At the second sub-bureau of the 'Xingyuan Dart Bureau', Liang Xie stared blankly at the starry sky, letting time pass bit by bit, and the sense of oppression in his heart became stronger and stronger. He knows that gambling is a very disgusting thing, and the so-called more than nine out of ten losses are less than one out of ten percent of the dealers can really win, and there is no fairness at all. Liang Xie gambled a few times in the most difficult time, hoping that he could control the dice points with his martial arts internal strength and win a little money, he was not greedy as long as he could save his life, but unfortunately he failed, gambled a few times and lost a few times, not only did his life not improve in the slightest, but he had to be a killer, so since then he has vowed to resolutely stop gambling and never gamble once. It's a pity that life is very strange, sometimes some people do the same thing every day for a lifetime, eat the same meal, see the same people unchanged, stable to moldy, but some people want stability but can't get it, every day is different, everything is unexpected, there are flying surprises and more are flying to the disaster, some disasters are their own causes, some are falling from the sky, but unfortunately the vast majority of people do not know whether what they do will cause trouble, let alone what they will cause, the saddest thing is that they know that they will cause trouble and have to do it. Liang Xie didn't know which one he belonged to, and he was in no mood to tell the difference, he only knew that suddenly disaster came, and suddenly he was caught off guard, and in the blink of an eye, a gambling game related to life and death was placed in front of him, and he had to gamble. Life sometimes faces a lot of gambling games, big and small, and push the gow to throw the dice is different, push the pai gow to roll the dice can be avoided, the gambling game of life can not be avoided, the dice is unveiled very quickly, and the gambling game of life does not know when to unveil the cup Sometimes even a lifetime has not waited for the moment of the unveiling, the same is the gambling game of life and the same as throwing the dice, the same is full of injustice, deception, Trap, gambling wins a lot of benefits, gambling loses and even takes his life, no matter how many people participate in gambling always lose more and win less, lose the game, win continue to gamble, until you lose or die, and the dealer is always a person called God, God who doesn't know, how old is not clear, what hobbies don't understand, only know who he wants to give more chips to whom, want to let out of the game directly deprived him of all the chips, all participants must not have objections, and the rules of gambling are completely up to him, and can be changed at any time, Liang Xie thoughtγ
Liang Xie doesn't know whether he bet right or wrong in this game, and he doesn't know who will be the real winner in this game, and he doesn't know whether he will enter the next game immediately after winning, he knows that he must participate in this game, he may be able to win, and not betting is the worst result, he also knows that this gamble is about to be revealed, and he knows that any gamble will be unveiled sooner or later, even if the result after the cup is still unfinished. Liang Xie hopes that he can win this game, to be precise, his side can win, because he can't afford to lose, but if he wants to win, he must use his friends, and he will inevitably implicate the innocent, which is the last thing he wants to do, but he has to do it.
"Whew........ Liang Xie let out a long breath, Liu Shiyi's expression when he left, he remembered, he knew that Liu Shiyi was very good to him, and he also knew what Liu Shiyi meant, but he couldn't promise, not only could he not promise, but he also used Liu Shiyi's feelings for him to increase his gambling chips, he knew that Liu Shiyi knew, he also knew that Liu Shiyi had done what he envisioned, and had done it, Liu Shiyi was very good to him, he had always been good, he was good to him for whatever reason, good made him feel guilty, good made him feel very despicable, very humbleγ
"Liang Daxia has something on his mind?" Yun Shiyi leaned over and asked.
"You don't have anything on your mind?" Liang Xie asked without answering.
"Haha. Yun Shiyi smiled and said, "Who can be without a heart?"
Liang Xie smiled and stopped talking, he didn't know what to say, this Yun Shiyi also has parents, relatives, and friends, and it won't be long before he will become a cold corpse, just because Yun Shiyi has been watching him all afternoon. Liang Xie knew that Yun Shiyi didn't know anything, he was very innocent, he couldn't bear to watch him die, although the two were not friends, but Yun Shiyi had no reason to die for his business, but he couldn't say it, he had to be ruthless, ruthless.
"Liang Daxia, in fact, we are all envious that you have a wife, you don't know how difficult it is to have a woman to accompany you in this cold river and lake, and I will find a matchmaker tomorrow to help talk about family affairs, it is best to be beautiful, I like a woman who is a bird, it doesn't matter if she is a woman or not......"
Liang Xie's heart twitched, his hands trembled, he couldn't help himself, and smiled, he couldn't say it, he couldn't say it if he was killed, and he couldn't say it if Yun Shiyi was ten times more pitiful. Not to mention that there is only one innocent person who dies, and there are dozens or even hundreds of innocents who plan to die, including his wife and brother-in-law, he must be clear about which is more important, he is an emotional and impulsive person, but at this time, he can't be impulsive, never impulsive.
