Chapter 349: Probing

Gao Licheng said: "No. ”

"Oh, that's Mr. Gao's junior brother, Mr. Dong's handiwork?" Shao Mingqian asked again.

Gao Licheng snorted and said: "He, how could a person who doesn't want to kill people get bloody? If it weren't for the disaster and famine, the sect would have cut off money and food, he would only hide under the covers every day and play with women, even if he was given a throne to sit on, he would not want to go out." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "It's not you or Mr. Dong, so who could it be?

Gao Licheng said: "How do I know that this sect has a history of more than 300 years, and it has also been brilliant, there are not 1,000 masters under the sect, but there are 800 masters, and there are dozens of people who have left the gate on their own, and how many 'pure word level' masters have come out of their junior disciples, do you still want to inform me?"

"That's right. Shao Mingqian said and nodded to Liang Xie, who willingly put away his knife and retreated.

Gao Licheng was puzzled: "You don't kill me?"

Shao Mingqian said: "You and I have no hatred and no grudges, why fight for life and death? If Mr. Gao can advise the 'Shunyi Hou' and 'Deer King' to hurt the people less, he can be regarded as worthy of the care that the fathers and elders of 'Zhongzhou' have taken care of me for many years." ”

Gao Licheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shao Mingqian's eyes with a little clarity, and only after a moment did he suddenly say: "I heard that the spies came to report that there were two uninvited guests from the 'Yangdao League' branch, and I also said which line of friends came to grab the food, it turned out that the main owner had arrived, so it's no wonder." The grace of the Lord of the Shao League to spare his life was recorded by Gao, today I owe you a favor, but I can send it once with the Lord of the Shao League. ”

Shao Mingqian said: "There is something to worry about, Mr. Gao is in a high position and has many subordinates, and I hope that Mr. Gao will try to find out about the death of his brother." ”

Gao Licheng said: "It should be so, but it's ......"

Shao Mingqian said: "Mr. Gao, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Gao Licheng said: "It's no problem to listen to the murderer, but the grain and grass lost by the 'Yang Dao Alliance' have become ownerless, I don't dare to guarantee that the things can be returned to the original owner, and I need to listen to the meaning of the 'Deer King' to take or not, I can't be the master." ”

Shao Mingqian said: "When the time comes, you and I will fight for it with our own abilities, or we can join forces to defeat the enemy." ”

Gao Licheng nodded and said: "Okay, with the martial arts of the two of you and our people, it must not be difficult to win, if I get the news, how can I contact the two?"

Shao Mingqian said: "It's still here." ”

"Good. Gao Licheng said a good word, walked straight over and picked up dozens of subordinates one by one to pick up the dislocated hands and feet, and rescued several subordinates who were stunned, and walked out with people, and suddenly stopped when he went out, turned back to Liang Xie and hugged his fist and asked, "I haven't asked this friend's honorific name yet." ”

Liang Xie hugged his fists and said: "In the lower Liang Xie." ”

"Liang ..... Gao Licheng shook his head, thought for a moment and seemed to remember something, and then asked, "Is it the Liang Xie who killed Tang Xian in the capital six years ago?"

Liang Xie said: "Don't dare, it's down." ”

Gao Licheng shook his head incredulously and said, "Your Excellency's martial arts can be used to beat Tang Xian with injuries?"

Liang Xie said: "Tang Xian's secret weapon is ever-changing, and it is indeed a fierce enemy. ”

Gao Licheng still shook his head and said to himself: "Chu Shouting's swordsmanship is still inferior to me who was 'Qingzi level' back then, Tang Xian, who ranked ninth, is so much stronger than Chu Shouting, who is eighth?"

Gao Licheng muttered to himself and led the people away, and Liang Xie waited for them to leave and asked Shao Mingqian, "Senior brother, is this person credible?"

"Credible...... Shao Mingqian said.

Liang Xie nodded, just put his mind at ease, only to hear Shao Mingqian continue: "If you can't believe it, you have to believe it, we don't have manpower, and the court can't control it, so we don't have a choice." Liang Xie was stunned.

It was already the second half of the night, and the weather was getting more and more chilly and shivering, so Shao Mingqian and Liang Xie found a clean room in the branch hall and squinted for more than an hour, and the sky was dawn.

The two of them ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, and a sip of water was regarded as a breakfast, which was no choice, most of the dry food and water had been given to Lei Yi and Yang Geng, which made the already insufficient food even more scarce.

After eating 'breakfast', Shao Mingqian packed his bags and settled Liang Xie in the branch hall, while he wanted to go to 'Danhe Mansion', 'Luoyang City', and 'Brown City' to investigate, and also bury the corpses of the brothers in the gang, Liang Xie was worried that the senior brother was in danger and wanted to follow Shao Mingqian, but he asked him to stay and bury the corpses of the brothers here, and secretly investigated the whereabouts of the grain by the way.

Because Yang Geng told a lie in order not to let them die in vain, such a large batch of grain, there were not too many rut marks found around, and it was absolutely impossible for horses and manpower alone to transport grain out of the city overnight, because even if a person had the power of 10,000 catties, he couldn't take such a large pile of things, even if it was a carriage, it would take thousands of cars to transport it, which was also one of the most important reasons why the imperial court was helpless after the famine.

The 'Yangdao Alliance' is one of the four major gangs in the world, and its strength is already one of the few in the world, and it still needs the help of the 'Osumi Heavenly City' to transport these grains regardless of the cost, and who else is not for the huge benefits? And even if all the grain that the 'Yangdao League' has been transporting non-stop throughout the year to the victims for free, it will not be able to solve the problem of feeding 5 percent of the victims of the 'Zhongzhou' disaster, which shows the great difficulty of land transportation.

Just like Li Hu said, the river is cut off, even if it keeps flowing, the weather should be frozen, so you can only take the land route, and it is difficult to find so many horses and vehicles by land, even if there are so many horses and vehicles, the mighty scale has long been spread, and anyone on the street can ask which direction to go, and now there is no such news, it is obvious that the food is still in the city, but it may be hidden in a secret place somewhere and it cannot be found, and this secret place is not even too far from the branch hall, because if it is far away, the enemy will not mainly use manpower to transport。

The division of labor between the two is established, Shao Mingqian is still not worried about Liang Xie, although he is now making great progress in martial arts, but if Gao Licheng has bad intentions and brings people to sneak attack, he will be outnumbered after all, or the enemy has not gone far and deliberately hid in the dark to observe, in case he sees Liang Xie coming alone to sneak attack, it is still dangerous, so he carefully settled down before leaving.

After Shao Mingqian left, Liang Xie found a shovel and began to dig a pit in the soft soil of the backyard, the brothers of the 'Yang Dao League' died here as many as dozens of people, and it was not realistic to choose a good place to bury it at this moment of chaos in the world, so I had to bury it in the hall first, and wait for the murderer to ambush and then get up and transport it back to the helm for burial.

A few years ago, Liang Xie and Yifeng also came, and the "Danhe Mansion" was not at its peak, but at this moment, the "Danhe Mansion" made Shao Mingqian's heart not taste, if Liang Xie saw it, he would think that it was still in the "Bairui City".

Wanderers, robbers, and bandits are all over the streets, and under the blue sky and daylight, you can see a few men picking up other people's clothes and robbing other people's water and food, and there are several fights and brawls, and the scene of insulting a weak woman happened in front of Shao Mingqian's eyes, Shao Mingqian only took care of a few, and it had not yet reached the branch of the 'Yangdao League' in the 'Danhe Mansion' It had taken more than an hour. Shao Mingqian is a person who has the world in mind, and he can only sigh when he sees this scene.

In the afternoon, Shao Mingqian went to the branch hall, and the same as 'Bairui City', the brothers in the branch here also died by digging their hearts, and all the goods, grain, gold, silver, and treasures in the hall were lost. Bairui City's different is that the people who do it are different, there are three masters here to fight with the cousins, respectively, a gunman and two swordsmen, from the wounds of the deceased, the gunman is decisive and fast with the gun, and the power of the rush is great, it seems that the tactics of the fierce generals in the cavalry in the army can not see the martial arts sect, and the two swordsmen make a move that is messy and disorderly, and the knifeman is chopped up and down the body like a hanging, and this kind of death seems to be the 'bone-breaking crazy knife door' of the Western Xinjiang generation.

Shao Mingqian silently recorded the death of the deceased in his heart, and then hired some people to dig a pit to bury all the brothers in the gang. "Danhe Mansion" is different from "Bairui City", "Danhe Mansion" is said to be built by the county magistrate, and it has been added and repaired in the future, which is incomparable with the capital and the big and small dragon cities and border towns, but it is much stronger and more practical than the abandoned city wall of "Bairui City".

It stands to reason that it is far easier to manage this side of 'Bairui City', but it's a pity that the prefect of 'Danhe Mansion' is not Lei Yi, he doesn't care about anything at all, he doesn't care about robbing him in the city, he doesn't care about insulting women, he doesn't care about disasters and famines, he only focuses on making money, 'Yang Dao Alliance' has such a big thing, the prefect does not send someone to check or report it, but secretly suppresses it, when Shao Mingqian came to check, no one touched the corpses of those dead brothers, and no one checked it.

Shao Mingqian was very helpless, although 'Bairui City' did not report it, Lord Lei at least immediately sent someone to investigate after the incident, 'Danhe Mansion' pretended to be fine, but this is fine, no one has touched the scene Shao Mingqian can see a lot of traces, at least he knows that one of his brother's highest martial arts and a master of the other party's 'Bone Solving Crazy Knife Gate' were hacked to death after five moves, he probably has an understanding of the strength of the other party's people, and the scope of the investigation is also narrower.

Here hired people to bury the brothers of the 'Yang Dao Alliance', and Shao Mingqian hurriedly ate a mouthful of dry food and set off for the 'Brown City'. The situation in the 'Brown City' is basically the same as that in the 'Danhe Mansion', the city is also full of homeless bandits, and no one in the government cares. Yang Dao League's branch hall was destroyed and all the gold, silver, jewelry, grain and grass were also lost by no one to check, no one asked, Shao Mingqian checked by himself and found that there were four masters of this action, two of the grappling masters who were divided into muscles and bones, a horizontal training master of iron arms and copper elbows, and a claw master who wore gold and stones, and the hearts of all the people here were dug out with their fingers, and it was much more difficult to do this than to open bricks and crack stones.

Similarly, when Shao Mingqian hired someone to bury the corpses of the brothers in the gang, he rushed to another place, and there was no difference in the other place, except for the different people who did it, almost all the other situations were similar to the previous ones, the same extermination, the same heart-splitting, and the other party also had two or three masters to lead the team. Shao Mingqian kept going, running city by city, and finally he decided to go to the last city to take a look, the last city is called 'Luoyang City', and it is also the farthest place from the general rudder of the 'Yang Dao League', in addition to the original brothers of the 'Yang Dao League', there are two special friends from the rivers and lakes who have joined the 'Yang Dao League' in recent years, and two real masters - Qiu Feng and He Yousen.

Qiu Feng, nicknamed 'Autumn Wind Drifting Shadow', a lone ranger in the rivers and lakes, has been a showman, known for his light skills, it is said that his light skills have reached the level of stepping on the snow without a trace; Iron Bull Gong', practice to today knife cut a white seal gun pierced a white spot, its whole body almost no gaps and weaknesses, no cover door at all, on the body of the strong and strong across the rivers and lakes few people and, Zen Buddhism was broken after the 'Iron Arhat' killed a bloody road, in order to make a living to join the 'Yang Dao League', in order to facilitate the act, 'Iron Arhat' is still used to calling him the nickname, because everyone thinks this nickname is easier to remember than his real name.

Liang Xie hired someone to bury the brothers in the gang and lived in the branch hall waiting for Gao Licheng's news, at first he was worried that Gao Licheng would not bring someone to attack him at night, but the night was fine, and at noon the next day, Gao Licheng sent someone to reply to Liang Xie with some inquired news.

After the destruction of the 'Yang Dao League' branch, there were eleven rich families in the 'Bairui City' that were wiped out, and the death was no different from the brothers of the 'Yang Dao League' branch, and the eleven rich families were invaded before they had time to report to the official yamen after their deaths, and it is said that all this was done by the people of the 'Tota Heavenly King', but after the people of the 'Deer King' occupied the 'Bairui City', such a thing never appeared again, obviously there were scruples, if it was true' The people of Tota Heavenly King's people don't need to pay attention to them at all, so this matter must be done by others, as for who did it, there is no clue for the time being, Liang Xie knows that if they want to inquire about the location of the grain and grass, they will inevitably turn the 'Bairui City' upside down, and the news obtained may be more than that, but when asked again, Gao Licheng's subordinates don't know much, and he doesn't want to say that Liang Xie has no way, after all, the other party will definitely hide the news found in order to prevent them from knowing in advance where the grain and grass are located and taking it back.

After sending the people away, Liang Xie decided to investigate in person, fortunately, there are all kinds of people in the mess of 'Bairui City', as long as you are dressed in tatters, it looks miserable, and no one cares who you are, which makes Liang Xie a lot more convenient, he changed into the tattered clothes worn by the dead, and his body was covered with mud and dust, drank as little water as possible, let his lips dry and cracked, and then mingled among the homeless people to inquire about some people and things in the city in recent days. For three days, Liang Xie didn't inquire about anything valuable, but instead took out some water and dry food.

On the fourth day, Gao Licheng brought people here, but Liang Xie did not wait for more useful news but waited for the news that they were about to withdraw from 'Bairui City', it turned out that someone passed a message to the official army that 'Bairui City' was occupied by the rebels, so the 'General Pingkou' was about to send troops to come, and the news came from the eyes of the 'Deer King' in the official army' that 'General Pingkou' had seconded three thousand 'Iron Armored Fire Cavalry' this time to attack at night, and the 'Iron Armored Fire Cavalry' soldiers were the most elite troops in the entire 'Tianmang Dynasty' who were responsible for guarding the outside of the pass Beichuan', 'Iron Armor Fire Cavalry' has a total of 6,000 people, and even the logistics and substitutes are only more than 10,000 people.

These 6,000 people can be said to be all elite soldiers, put in the martial arts, then everyone is a master, and these people are well-trained and tacit, and each has two horses to ride, in addition to the heavy artillery is difficult to move, each of them is equipped with a 'continuous firearm', in addition to bringing a new research and development of ten firearms 'Yu Ling', this weapon is far more powerful and domineering than any light firearms in the past, it is said that it is the 'Western Wilderness' 'Red Ghost Country' craftsman and Chang Lao Jiu jointly developed, years ago in the 'Beichuan' battle,' The Golden Rider was discouraged, and it was unknown what the specific law of strength was, so Gao Licheng and the others had to go so as not to be exterminated.

Said to go, Gao Licheng left in a hurry after speaking, the rebels belonging to the 'Deer King' all evacuated the 'Bairui City' within half a day, their departure made Liang Xie more and more helpless, the 'Yang Dao League' branch was destroyed This matter is already difficult to start, and this time Liang Xie is even more lonely.
