In the dense forest of the "Crane Master", Yue Songting arched his hand and smiled, "What about Elder Wen of your faction?"

"Alas, don't mention it. He Chongxiao sighed: "I inquired about Xu Ruyi's whereabouts before, and then left." Said to be doing something personal.,But... ”

Originally, Wen Baisheng was going to come with He Chongxiao at this martial arts conference, but he went to Fengyunzhuang halfway before, and then he was delayed for a few days on the way here. When he came to the Qingcheng faction, everyone had just escaped from Matou Mountain. Wen Baisheng wanted to find Xu Ruyi to avenge his baby niece Wen Jingqing, but when he inquired, the front and back feet were still staggered.

"That's right. Yue Songting nodded in understanding.

"Phew. Cao Zhengfang on the side snorted, with a dissatisfied face: "He is so old, his heart and eyes are like a needle, not even a woman." Stretched out his hand and pushed his husband, scolding, "You too, you are also a head, even an elder can't hold it down, what else can you do." Before my father passed on the position of head to you, who would dare to disobey us in the Kunlun faction? ”

"I can't say that, Elder Wen is also that old. He Chongxiao smiled bitterly.

Cao Zhengfang spoke like a cannon, not saving any face for He Chongxiao at all. However, Yue Songting and the people around him didn't care. The reputation of the crane rushing to the sky on the rivers and lakes and being afraid of his wife can be regarded as thunderous.

"Master. On the side, a Huashan apprentice said softly, "The prince asked you to go over with Master Tang." ”

"I see. Yue Songting nodded, turned around and left with his apprentice.

It was almost noon, under a tall poplar tree, Zhu Chun's expression was leisurely, humming a slang tune on his mouth, and his hands were still beating lightly, looking leisurely and complacent.

"The two of you are here. Zhu Chun looked at Tang Sansheng and Yue Songting who walked in front of him, nodded and said hello.

"Lord Wang. ”

"I've seen the prince" The two bowed to salute.

It stands to reason that as the two of them are "reckless in the rivers and lakes", it is the rule to kneel and salute when they see Zhu Chun, but the boundary between the rivers and lakes and the government has always been blurred, so Zhu Chun didn't pay attention to it.

"Two, the meal is almost here, and the king hasn't prepared anything to eat, so everyone can still hold on, right?" Zhu Chun said.

"The prince is polite. Yue Songting said with a smile: "I and other people in the rivers and lakes all have kung fu, and just one or two meals are nothing." ”

"Is it really not tight?" Zhu Chunqi said, "As far as this king knows, you have been hungry on Matou Mountain for two days, and you only ate one meal this morning." ”

"That's why we're able to hold on. Tang Sanxing on the side said in a deep voice, "Since the prince said that he can give the White Lotus Sect some color here, then even if we are hungry for two more days, we will not have a word!"

Early in the morning, as soon as the heroes of the rivers and lakes had eaten in the Qingcheng faction, Zhu Chun personally went to Qingcheng Mountain. didn't put up a fight, or use his identity to oppress people, but just said, "If you want to be angry, go with this king!" and pulled everyone into this dense forest to ambush. Counting it, it was two or three hours.

"Don't worry, this king has always said that he will do it," Zhu Chun looked confident.

Tang Sansheng hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Wang, with all due respect, why don't you bring more people here?" Although the Qingcheng faction has suffered a lot of damage this time, the Tang Sect is not far from here, and the time has come before, wouldn't it be better to let the old man go back and call thousands of more people?"

Zhu Chun replied: "There was a problem on Jinyiwei's side this time, which I never expected. But this incident also taught me a truth, you can't just look at your identity. ”

"This time I came to ambush the White Lotus Sect, I only used your people who were trapped on Matou Mountain, because I only assured you, and I didn't even say anything else. ”

"He Bin?" Yue Songting had never heard of this name.

"Sichuan political envoy" Tang San Province introduced a sentence.

"Oh. Yue Songting nodded, indicating understanding, and then asked, "The prince just concluded that the White Lotus Church passed by the path outside the forest?"

Zhu Chun looked up at the sky, and then said, "It's almost time to calculate, so it's okay to talk to you." ”

"This time the White Lotus Sect made trouble, first wiped out all the people in your martial arts, and then left the seven thousand elites of this king in Matou Mountain. Although only one of these two things has been completed, the effect is not much different, what do you say they are going to do next?"

"Next?" Tang Sanxing thought for a moment, "To raise an army to rebel, attacking CD should first take Yibin." Yue Songting analyzed: "Yibin is the capital of Xuzhou, and it is also an important town of Xuzhou. Although it was plagued, the high walls of the city were thick, and it was a foundation. ”

"Not bad" Zhu Chun showed appreciation and continued: "But Yibin is also within the scope of the disaster, a big flood, although the people are still there, but there is nothing left except the people." If they want to occupy Yibin, they can do it easily. But if they want to hold Yibin, or even rely on Yibin to fight our CD house, then they need to do two more things. ”

"Which two?"

Zhu Chun stretched out a finger: "One, they want food, but if they don't have food, I will give them the whole of Xuzhou, and they can't afford it." ”

"Where does the food come from?" the two looked puzzled.

"Of course I gave it to them~" Zhu Chun smiled proudly.

"Send?" Yue Songting and Tang Sansheng didn't understand what Zhu Chun meant.

Zhu Chun said with a smile: "I sent He Bin to collect grain and grass with the money from my house, and collected it and transported it to Xuzhou." I have already set off this morning, and I am on the official road. Calculating the time, it should have been snatched away by the White Lotus Sect by now. ”

"Ah?!" Tang Sanxing was stunned.

Instead, Yue Songting reacted: "The prince wants us to rob the grain back here? By the way, give the White Lotus Sect a slap in the face? But how does the prince know that the White Lotus Sect will pass by here after robbing the grain?"

"Why passing by here, Xiao Wang held the map and looked at it for an hour before he figured it out, so I won't go into details, but... Yue Songting's analysis was reasonable, but he didn't expect Zhu Chun to wave his hand and say, "Master Yue is only half right. Since the White Lotus Sect dared to make such a big move, they must have made all preparations in advance. Even if the king does not give them food, they will either steal it or rob it, but there must be some other way, and perhaps the food will have been prepared from elsewhere. ”

"But the food thing, in this place, must be as much as possible, this king wants to take advantage of his greed and kill a few of his people to relieve his anger first. In the end, it's better to leave it where it is and give it to him. ”

Tang San Province was puzzled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to kill people directly and take away the grain?"

"Old Man Tang doesn't know. The king left this grain for them, and had another plan. ”

"Poisoned?" Tang Sansheng guessed. is worthy of being born in the Tang Sect, and the first thing he thought of was poison.

"No," Zhu Chun smiled and shook his head.

Yue Songting frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with it.

"Don't say it, don't say it. Zhu Chun played a dumb riddle.

"Alliance leader, lord. The smiling tiger Meng Jiu came to the front and whispered, "It's here." ”

The three of them lowered their figures, raised their eyes and looked into the distance, only to see that there should be twenty or thirty carts slowly approaching, surrounded by six or seven hundred guards, all dressed in white, with white cloth wrapped around their heads, holding weapons of various colors in their hands, almost all of them had blood stains on their bodies, and they felt murderous, obviously just experienced a battle.

"What's wrong?" Yue Songting asked softly when he saw that Tang Sanxing's face was wrong.

"It's fine. Tang Sanxing's face was pale, his eyes were red, his hands trembled slightly, and he looked angry.

Tang Sanxing said that it was okay, but Yue Songting naturally wouldn't take it seriously. Looking carefully, I saw that these hundreds of people, led by a young man, although he was also dressed in white, but he was wearing a Confucian robe, holding a small fan in his hand, and a hosta on his head, like a merry boy.

"Sikong Xuan!" Tang Sanxing shouted angrily, and stood in the middle of the path.

Now that some people showed up, there was no need for the others to hide, and they all walked out of the woods one by one and stopped in the middle of the road.

Zhu Chun didn't move, but sat on the ground, looking like he was watching a good show.

As the leader Sikong Xuan raised his hand, the White Lotus Sect's grain transport team slowly stopped.

"Oh, Master Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time" Sikong Xuan clenched his fists and arched his hands, unhurried, with a smile on his face.

'This scene, it is clear that he has been ambushed by us, and he can still be so calm, is his heart too wide or has he expected it?'

The heroes present were a little puzzled.

"Waited for a long time?" Sikong Xuan glanced around and asked with a smile.

Seeing that no one answered, he asked again, "Let the luck or not?"

"What do you say?" Tang Sanxing squeezed out these three words from between his teeth.

"Oh. Sikong Xuan nodded, and then whispered: "Huayu doesn't understand the suffering of the Yiren, what can tell the fate of the three worlds?"

As the words fell, the pink petals appeared out of nowhere, and slowly sprinkled with the wind, like a butterfly flapping its wings and flying in the forest...
