Chapter 38 Military Salaries and Silver Taels
The housekeeper nodded, signaled the servant to retreat, he brought the military academy into the side hall, when everyone looked at the military academy, sure enough, they were covered in blood, their hair was messy, and they gasped for breath, as if they had just come here after a fierce battle to the death, and when the military academy saw Zhu Yunding, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and reported loudly......;
"What?" Zhu Yunding was shocked when he heard the report from the military academy, and this was not trivial! He slammed the table and stood up, his tiger eyes widened, his beard like iron thorns and steel needles kept trembling, and he gritted his teeth and asked: "The government and the silver treasury is a forbidden place for heavy defense, and there are dozens of military academies of your Jinyi guard to assist in the defense, who can rob the military salary and silver taels under this kind of defense?"
The military academy continued to report: "The masked people who came are all strong in martial arts, and their methods are fierce and cruel, they kill those defending soldiers as if cutting claws and cutting vegetables, and the blood stains the silver treasury, it is simply a massacre, and the subordinates resist desperately, and suffer heavy losses, but the masked people are not good at martial arts, they are vigorous and resolute, and their actions are extremely agile, and their subordinates are also desperate to break through the encirclement before they rushed here to report."

Zhu Yunding's neck and temples were bruised, and he pointed to the military academy and asked, "What about those martial arts masters that this commander brought from Kyoto, and Xu Yu, the uncle of this commander's Bagua Taiji Sword, his purple gold Bagua Sword is the first sword in Kyoto, haven't they been able to stop the masked man?"
"Old Man Xu's purple gold gossip sword was restrained by two strange heavy swords with blue light and purple flames in the masked man, and the other masters seemed to be unable to resist the masked man's martial arts, but fortunately they arrived in time, otherwise the silver vault would be ransacked by the masked man. β
"That's right," Jiang Shuyuan interjected beside him, "The answer I couldn't find just now, now I understand, why did the people of the Demon Palace take medicine in the Liugong Mansion?" It has two purposes, one is to create chaos in the Liugong Mansion, so that there is a misunderstanding between the Lord of the Liu Alliance and Lord Zhu and mutual suspicion, and even turn his face to make a move to achieve the purpose of not being able to cooperate, the other is to trap everyone here and not be separated, they can gather strength to directly rob the army salary and silver, the Demon Palace is really good at calculation, treacherous and abnormal, not only to achieve the attempt to move Jiangdong, but also to play a role in diverting the tiger from the mountain, according to the plan of the Demon Palace, Lord Zhu should be asleep in the Liugong Mansion at this time, after waking up, the forbidden land of the silver treasury has been looted and emptied, and then it will inevitably blame the anger of the Liugong Mansion, the court Jinyiwei and Jiangnan Wulin turned against each other, and once the Jinyiwei lost the auxiliary cooperation of the local martial arts, and there is no news about the whereabouts of the military salaries and silver two. β
The prodigal son's words were analyzed reasonably, meticulously and thoroughly, everyone nodded frequently after listening, and was silent for a while, Zhu Yunding was secretly glad that he did not fall out with the Jiangnan martial arts figures, there are many hidden people among them, and it is inevitable to borrow them in the future to recover the military salary and silver, and he used to be too arrogant and arrogant, and he underestimated the characters in the rivers and lakes, and he must guard against arrogance and rashness in the future, and the people in the rivers and lakes will be ...... There is also his uncle's purple gold gossip sword in Kyoto, which can be regarded as a powerful northern martial arts, why are the two swords in the demon palace restrained? It seems that the lord of the Liu League and Jiang Gongzi have not talked nonsense and boasted, the demon palace is indeed dangerous and treacherous, they dare to brazenly rob the imperial court military salary, and their methods and courage are indeed impressive, far from ordinary mountain and forest bandits......
Qu Ling'er blinked her eyes, and suddenly said thoughtfully, "The Demon Palace's actions are confusing, first, since they can drug in the Liugong Mansion, why don't they just put some strong poisons? Wouldn't it be easy to put down everyone at once? Second, with so much money in military salaries and silver, where would they store it? Jinyi Wei and Jinling Capture and the garrison spent so much energy to find out the slightest clue, what kind of place would it be? The place that can store such a huge amount of silver taels should not be in the city, and if it would not attract attention to move around, it must be in the mountains, a hidden and deep place that is easy to ignore. β
Jiang Shu was willing to look at her, nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Little brother, the people here are all masters who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, the tableware used on the table is silver chopsticks, and the wine glasses used for drinking are also high-quality snow jade, as long as there is a little toxin in the wine and dishes, the chopsticks and wine glasses will immediately show traces of black and green, so the Demon Palace will choose the colorless and tasteless Miaojiang Bliss Gate secret medicine." Broken Soul Ying Holy Water', however, the little brother's words reminded me that the lair where the Demon Palace hid the silver two should indeed be in the mountains, and our attention should also be on the mountains, and carefully search for any homes and places that are easy to be overlooked......"
Zhu Yunding stretched out his hand and raised his thumb and praised, "The prodigal son hero is really perceptive and perceptive, which makes a good student admire." Speaking of this, he stood up, clasped his fists and bowed around and said goodbye, "The alliance leader and all the heroes and heroes, the forbidden land of the silver treasury has been robbed, the matter is important, this seat is going to deal with it now, and I will say goodbye to you!"
Du Gang and Yan Tiecheng also quickly stood up and said goodbye with their fists in a bow.
Liu Yigong and everyone also got up and clasped their fists to return the salute, Liu Yigong took advantage of the time to comfort Zhu Yunding and said, "Official business is urgent, and it is reasonable, but Lord Zhu should not be troubled and impatient, with so many silver taels, I am afraid that the Demon Palace will not be able to transfer the boundary of Jinling City for a while. β
Zhu Yunding nodded again and again, "The alliance leader is reasonable, the envoy should keep in touch with the alliance leader, although there was a false alarm tonight, but the envoy also opened his eyes, Jiangnan Guidi hides the dragon and crouching tiger, and there are many talents, and in the future, I will rely on the heroes to help recover the military salary and silver. β
"Ha, ha," Liu Yigong said with a smile, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and those court awards and etiquette are complicated, so they will be exempted." He suddenly leaned close to Zhu Yunding's ear and said, "Also, Lord Zhu should be more tolerant of the matter of Mr. Luan's head hunting and tiger hunting, and don't cut off his arms." β
Zhu Yunding's face was full of guilt, he sighed and chuckled, "Liu Gongfu went to the banquet, it was worth the trip, after talking with the alliance leader and the heroes, the envoy was really shocked in his heart, and the heroes were righteous and thin, and the mind of the heroes was full of Changhong, and it also made the envoy ashamed, and the mouth suddenly opened, the alliance leader, please rest assured, the envoy immediately ordered the release of the people, and chose another time to plead guilty to them." β
After Zhu Yunding and his party left, the housekeeper immediately instructed the servants to add lights and candles to the living room of the lobby, set up a case hall, and gather all the slaves and maids and cooks into the living room of the lobby, and carefully checked them one by one, trying to find out the people who gave the drugs, but until the next day passed, there was still no result.
In the evening of the next day, the remnants of the sunset dyed the stream and weeping willows in the backyard of the Liugong Mansion red, the scenery was picturesque, intoxicating, Jiang Shuyi wished to sit alone in the back of the creek bank, while drinking, while enjoying the sunset scenery, in fact, he was here alone to quietly think about last night's events,' 'Broken Soul Ying Holy Water' must be from the hands of the Demon Palace, because Qu Ling'er's biological father is in the Demon Palace, and he used to be the fast son-in-law of Miaojiang Jile Gate, so he naturally knows how to use and own this secret medicine, last night in front of Zhu Yunding in order not to complicate things, he did not say this hidden story, and now the seriousness of the problem is that the Demon Palace has brought this medicine to the Liugong Mansion, which has to show that the means of the Demon Palace are not only secretive, but also superb, and have the meaning of threatening Jiangnan Wulin, if the Demon Palace is just to buy the cook, it is not terrible for the maid to come to the drug, if the person who has the drug is hidden next to the Lord of the Liu League, it will be troublesome, the steps to take action against the Demon Palace in the future will be known by the Demon Palace......
"Alas, the sad hero is missing his crush here again, it's really touching!" suddenly a woman's voice sounded behind him.
Jiang Shuyuan may have been too focused on thinking about the problem, but he didn't notice that someone came behind him at some point, but when he looked back, it was Liu Yigong's daughter, Liu Chan'er, who was even more stunned for a while, because last time at the alliance leader's birthday banquet, Jian Nanhong did not agree to the marriage with Liu Chan'er, and as a result, everyone was troubled, and it was a little unpleasant, although Liu Yigong was reasonable, and there was no intention to pursue it afterwards, but Miss Liu was disgraced in front of many heroes in the rivers and lakes, thinking about how her dignified Miss Qianjin, the leader of the Jiangnan Martial Arts League, could bear such grievancesThe last time she rode alone outside the city to find Jian Nanhong, she almost ignored Jian Nanhong and the people close to him, and she didn't know why she came to find her alone tonight.
The willow cicada is pear-shaped, smiling lightly, the silver-white dress is fluttering slowly in the night breeze, still so lively and beautiful, there is a bit of cunning and shining in her bright eyes, she stepped forward and snatched the wine jar from Jiang Shuyuan's hand and raised it above her head, raised her head and opened her mouth to take a big sip.
"Miss Liu, the wine is more sorrowful, it's better to drink less!" Jiang Shuyuan stood up and dissuaded.
Liu Chan'er put down the wine jar and handed it back to Jiang Shuyuan, wiped her lips with her sleeve, looked at the sunset sinking in the sky, and said, "I'm really sorry to interrupt the hero's thoughts, the hero doesn't seem to welcome it?"
"There, thereβ" Jiang Shuyuan smiled heartily, "I have always regarded Miss Liu as a confidant of my life." β
"Really?" Liu Chan'er asked with a smile, while looking at Jiang Shuyuan's eyes, he nodded for a while, nodded in affirmation, "The eyes of the sad person are as unfathomable as the sea, and the tears contained in them are flashing with a crystal luster, and the indelible melancholy always burns the warmth of the sweetheart. β
Jiang Shuyuan also saw the melancholy in her eyes, and understood that her heart knot had not been untied, so she smiled and said, "The love in this world is precious, but everything still depends on fate, don't be too persistent, otherwise it will be like floating like duckweed, lonely and lonely, really bitter, everything depends on fate!"
Liu Chan'er blinked her eyes and asked rhetorically, "Since the hero knows that he is obsessed, knows that things in the world are about fate, and also knows that your sweetheart has abandoned you, and there is no possibility of renewing the old relationship between you, why don't you take the burden of this relationship, completely forget her, love a girl again, and build a beautiful relationship?"
"This ......" Jiang Shuyuan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer her.
Liu Chan'er sighed faintly and said, "Don't blame the little sister for being reckless, in fact, the little sister knows that the hero is for the good of the little sister, and what she said is also sent to the bottom of her heart," she paused for a moment, looked at Jiang Shuyuan again and asked, "You obviously know that she left you behind, you know that she has started a family with someone else, she is treacherous in doing this, and all she brings you is sadness and pain, have you never resented her in the depths of your heart?" As the saying goes, one point of love, one point of hate, how much you love her, how much you should hate her, Xiaomei just wants to hear the true language of the hero?"
Jiang Shuyuan's cheeks and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, the expression on his face was still calm, he didn't answer, just shook his head.
"Alas," Liu Chan'er lowered her head, played with the lily of the valley knot on her chest with her hand, and said in a low voice; "After all, the hero is not the same as ordinary people, but the little sister can't do it, since the first time I saw Nanxiu Gongzi, the little sister has a strong impression of him, and the little sister admits that she has fallen in love with him, but Nanxiu Gongzi doesn't give the little sister face at all, and actually refuses the little sister in front of the heroes of the world...... From that moment on, the little sister was really self-conscious, and she hated Nanxiu Gongzi to the core, but when she learned that he went to pursue Princess Yanxiang and was ridiculed, and was defeated by the sword of Tianlong Gongzi, and then fled into the mountains, the little sister was worried about him all the time, love and hate, heart-wrenching pain and suffering, making people tasteless and sleepless, the little sister was at a loss, and she didn't know how to get rid of it? In fact, when it comes to reasoning, I don't understand it, and I also know very well that emotional matters are about fate, and if both parties are willing to be happy, a barely improvising relationship will not be happy, but it is so difficult to do! Maybe fate deserves this catastrophe. She spoke with sincerity and affection.
Jiang Shuyuan was already deeply shocked in his heart, and suddenly felt that the Liu girl in front of him was so weak, which made people feel infinite pity, and at the same time, there was a sense of closeness, like an elder brother listening to his sister's grievances, he immediately hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Chan'er; Nanxiu Gongzi is young and naΓ―ve, has a frank temperament, debuts for the first time, has no experience in the rivers and lakes, that day Lingzun's birthday banquet will not be skillful to mediate, a word actually hurt the girl, in fact, Nanxiu Gongzi has no intention of hurting the girl, he is in a hurry to speak freely, here in the next generation he apologizes to the girl!"
Seeing this, Liu Chan'er blushed for a while, and hurriedly waved her hand again and again to stop, "No, no, it's none of the heroes' business." β
Jiang Shuyuan stopped his gesture, stood up upright and comforted, "Miss Liu, in fact, if you really love someone, he will become broad-minded, he can tolerate everything, regardless of his own gains and losses, his own feelings, as long as the other party is happy and happy, even if there is more pain, he will swallow it without regrets, didn't you just ask if you ever hated her? The answer is this truth, if it wasn't for her husband who had murdered her teacher, maybe she wouldn't have bothered her in this life......"
Liu Chan'er nodded as if she understood whether she understood or not, "It's rare for a hero to have such a noble mind, a good character, and a respectful character, so the little sister takes the hero as a model and learns from the hero's sentiments." β
Jiang Shuyuan's eyes brightened, and he smiled heartily, "Crossing the mountain is flat, the girl is still young, and she will be able to meet her favorite person in the future. β
Liu Chan'er chuckled and said, "Thank you for the hero's guidance and teachings, the little sister is much more cheerful now, but there is another thing to meet the hero tonight......"
Jiang Shuyuan immediately thought of when she first came, and there was a bit of cunning in her bright eyes.
Liu Chan'er continued, "The little sister knows that the hero has been worried about being drugged last night, and the father and housekeeper are also busy with this, making the house a mess, it's really a big fuss, and the little sister knows who ordered the sweat drug......"
"Who is it?" Jiang Shuyuan was taken aback and asked impatiently.
"Actually, this person doesn't seem to have too deep malice," Liu Chan'er continued casually; "She seems to be just venting her personal anger, she is the 'Race Peony' Lu Xiaohong girl from Luoyang City, Zhongzhou, it is reported that Murong Gongzi is kind to her, she is following Murong Gongzi, Murong Gongzi has always been very cold to her, the girl's family, Fang is frustrated, and it is inevitable to do some excesses, but it has affected so many people in the Daxia and the official mansion, and it also makes Daxia and so many people afraid of this matter, and it is really lacking in consideration." β
Jiang Shuyuan's starry eyes scorched with a cold light, and he followed Liu Chan'er's words and asked, "The girl said that Lu Niang just wanted to take revenge on Murong Gongzi with sweat and drugs, but she didn't expect to be involved with so many people, but when she was drugged, she happened to bump into the girl?"
Liu Chan'er didn't notice the change in Jiang Shuyuan's eyes, and still replied with a 'giggle' smile; That's not it, it's just that she mysteriously flashed into the kitchen, must have taken advantage of the gap where no one was, and after a while, her face was pale, and she looked panicked, just to the little sister in the dark to see, it was naturally her who was sweating and drugged, she came here infatuated from afar, but was left out in the cold, and was very unhappy during this time, often hiding alone in the woods, or sighing and crying alone on the bank of the creek, alas, the flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, there are many negative people in this world......" She was holding grievances for Lu Xiaohong, as if she was holding grievances for herself.
Since the sixtieth birthday banquet of the lord of the Liu League, Jian Nanhong refused to marry in public, and Liu Chan'er hated him to the core, but deep down in his heart, he fell in love with Nanxiu Gongzi, and his love became budding, and he was already unable to extricate himself, although he hated him and no longer met with him, but he still couldn't control himself secretly peeping at him, and he had solved the pain of lovesickness.
The cold light in Jiang Shuyuan's eyes had disappeared, and it was dimmed and returned to normal, and the thought in his heart was racing, "The Broken Soul Ying Holy Water is the unique secret medicine of the Miaojiang Paradise Gate, how can Lu Xiaohong easily get it?" She just wants to take revenge on Murong Gongzi, she can completely quietly put down the drug in the tea, wine and food in Murong Gongzi's bedroom, why did she choose to entertain the many scenes of the imperial court Jinyi Guard's officials?'
Looking at Liu Chan'er's disapproving look, her lips just moved, and she immediately wanted to stop talking, he thought that Miss Liu was young and simple, and she wouldn't think about things too complicated, and thought, "Maybe I'm too worried, Lu Xiaohong may get this kind of drug from Qu Ling'er, the girl's family has the idea of revenge on a whim, and she won't care about anything...... 'He didn't want to say anything.
Looking at Liu Chan'er disappearing into the night, Jiang Shu's heart was still not calm, his emotions were chaotic, the drugs at the banquet last night, and even thinking that the treasury of the government was looted, it was clearly a deliberate means, the Demon Palace was pervasive, could it be that Lu Xiaohong was an undercover agent sent by the Demon Palace? Or was it an accidental coincidence of pure revenge?
Jiang Shuyuan looked up at the night sky, the moon was in the sky, the stars were brilliant, it was a quiet night, his heart also calmed down, and then thought, "Regardless of whether Lu Xiaohong is undercover in the Demon Palace, you have to secretly monitor her during this time, if she is undercover, she will be exposed......
A few days later, Liu Yigong sent out the sentinel to return to the house to report, has found several batches of robbed military salaries and silver whereabouts, verified in the east of Jinling City Purple Mountain on the remaining veins of the Hump Villa, Hump Villa is built by the mountain by the peak, the manor is solemn and grand, winding and entrenched, hidden in the mountains and valleys of the woods, the owner of the camel is the Jiangnan Wulin three old 'one male', 'one dragon', 'one peak' inside the ' Yifeng', this person's martial arts are strong, unfathomable, alone in the south of the sky, but the character is perverse and violent, arrogant and arrogant, alone in the rivers and lakes, no one knows his name and origin, Hump Mountain Villa is full of mysterious and terrifying colors, but also in the legend of people drinking tea is more eerie.
Liu Yigong was about to Jian Nanhong, Jiang Shuyuan summoned to a quiet room to discuss countermeasures, and after a period of silence, Jian Nanhong spoke; When the students first arrived in Jinling City, they had seen the disciples of Hump Mountain Villa, all of them were flying and domineering, and they were fierce and vicious, but their skills and martial arts were authentic in Xuanmen, Luan Zongtou and Tiger Hunt and Jinyiwei's oral description, there were no people from Hump Mountain Villa among the people who robbed the military salary and silver, but such a huge silver couple should have a hiding place, so it feels reasonable to think about it, and Jinling catches quickly, why did Jinyiwei and the garrison miss Luofeng Villa when searching the mountain? Because everyone knows that he is the residence of the old man of Jiangnan Wulin, everyone believes in respecting him, so no one suspects this place that everyone admires, and now there is no definite evidence of the news obtained by the alliance leader to visit the outpost, if you easily go to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, I am afraid that something is wrong. β
Liu Yigong's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, his fingers slowly stroked his beard, and his tone was solemn, "Hump Mountain Villa is indeed a place that everyone respects and fears in the Jiangnan martial arts, and at this juncture rashly went to Xingshi to ask for guilt, causing internal coaxing in the Jiangnan martial arts, and the consequences are unpredictable, and the old man is also afraid of falling for the Demon Palace's strategy of moving flowers and trees, but all kinds of signs show that these huge silver taels should be hidden in the Hump Mountain Villa, after all, the fifth master of the camel is a generation of grandmasters, and he looks down on the rivers and lakes, how can he commit himself to the Manchu Tatars outside the gate of the Demon Palace Cult?" It is incredible, and it is difficult to understand. β
Jiang Shuyuan thought for a while and said, "Since the Hump Mountain Villa is a mysterious and deep place, no matter whether he takes refuge in the Demon Palace and the Manchu Tatars, we still have to go to test it, but it is just a succession of soldiers, taking advantage of the prestige of the alliance leader, to visit the villa to test the truth, unless it is a last resort, we can't tear the skin with the Hump Villa, we have to distribute our strength, leave some manpower, in case the Demon Palace uses the Hump Villa as bait, and take advantage of the chaos in the Jiangnan martial arts to transfer the stolen goods." β
Jian Nanhong also immediately agreed with Jiang Shu's long-cherished idea, "The student also agrees with Brother Jiang's opinion, first go to the Hump Mountain Villa to test the reality, and on the other hand, leave some people on standby, if the Demon Palace has other intentions, it will be easy to deal with it." β
Liu Yigong nodded and said, "It's okay, the analysis of the two sons is quite sophisticated, let's prepare to set off immediately, and the old man also asked someone to inform the Water Dragon Gang." "Somebody!"
When the housekeeper heard the call of his master, he immediately walked into the quiet room, and Liu Yigong instructed him, "Send someone to ride quickly to inform the leader of the Water Dragon Gang, and ask him to bring people to our mansion immediately, and also ask Huang Yan to select some elite men and prepare horses to wait in the front hall." β
Jian Nanhong also added to the housekeeper, "In order to enrich the manpower, please call the Mongolian friends of Murong Gongzi and the students by the way, as well as Gongzi Qu. β
The steward took the order and hurried away.
Jiang Shuyuan thought for a while, and suddenly reminded Liu Yigong, "Alliance leader, it's better to inform Lord Zhu about this matter below." β
"That's right," Liu Yigong also stretched out his hand and patted his head, "Jiang Gongzi reminded me well, I should inform Lord Zhu, we have the assistance of Jinyi Wei and Tiger Hunters, and our strength is stronger, and the old man still knows the general situation, and when he left that night, it can be seen that he has indeed restrained his arrogance and arrogance, and has a closer understanding of our Jianghu people, and even has some feelings. β
Jiang Shuyuan sighed and understood, "As a relative of the emperor, he is in charge of the palace brocade guards, with high power and heavy responsibilities, and he is a rare capable person, but he is narrow-minded and shallow, but fortunately, the change of drug that night also made him aware of the danger and deceit of the situation, and it is rare that he can abandon his suspicions in time, understand the righteousness, and unite with our people in the rivers and lakes." β
Jian Nanhong also smiled and said, "It can be seen that Lord Zhu and the two commanders under him are very conceited, and the Jinyi Wei they claim to be the commander is the essence of authentic martial arts, who knows that the battle in the forbidden land of the silver treasury has made them see their own shortcomings, and they know that the world is big, and there are people outside the world, and they must not underestimate the rivers and lakes......"
After a few people talked about Zhu Yunding, Liu Yigong stood up from his seat, shook his clothes and said, "Okay, old man, I'll call someone to inform Lord Zhu and invite him to come to our mansion, and we will discuss it again." β
Liu Yicheng was about to open his mouth to call for someone to come in, but he saw the butler barging in and reporting, "The commander of the Jinyi Guard has sent Lord Zhu to discuss an urgent matter, and in addition, the Water Dragon Gang has also sent someone to inform him, and everyone else has already told him." β
Liu Yigong hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Please Lord Zhu!"
The housekeeper turned around and went out, and after a while, he turned around and led Zhu Yunding and Du Gang into the quiet room.
Liu Yigong hurriedly pointed to the chair and said, "Lord Zhu, Lord Commander, please take a seat." β
Zhu Yunding clasped his fists and saluted, "One hundred thousand is urgent, the envoy came suddenly, the alliance leader is not strange!" Then, sitting on the seat, Du Gang stood behind him.
At this time, a handmaiden brought in two cups of fragrant tea on the coffee table with a square plate in her hand, and then turned to leave.
Liu Yigong pointed to the teacup on the coffee table and said with a smile, "Master Zhu, don't worry, please drink two sips of hot tea." β
Zhu Yunding didn't care about drinking hot tea, and said impatiently, "The lost military salary and silver taels have already been whereabouts, and the subordinates of this envoy have found out the information, and these silver taels are hidden in the Purple Mountain Remnant Villa outside the east gate of the city, and this owner is also the old man in your Jiangnan martial arts, and his martial arts are unfathomable, I heard that the villa is full of mystery and terror, and the martial arts and the government are a little taboo about it, so the envoy has to come to disturb the alliance leader." β
Liu Yigong's eyes widened suddenly after hearing this, and he asked in surprise, "Lord Zhu is saying that your lord's subordinates have also found out that the military salary and silver are hidden in the Hump Mountain Villa?"
Zhu Yunding realized something from Liu Yigong's expression and tone, and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the leader of the Liu Alliance also learned the news?"
Liu Yigong took a breath of cold air and admitted, "Yes, Lao Yu's subordinates also got this news, no, I was about to call someone to inform the lord, my lord is coming, the old man is strange, a few days ago, he searched the mountains and forests like a grate with his subordinates Jinyi Wei and the officers and soldiers of the garrison, but there was no news at all, why did the news of the military salary and silver in the Hump Mountain Villa come out all of a sudden?"
"Wait-" Jiang Shuyuan suddenly interjected, "Let me think about it, this matter is indeed strange enough, think about it, Jinyiwei and Jinling are fast, and the subordinates of the leader of the Liu Alliance are all people with first-class arrest and detection abilities in the world, and their sense of smell can reach the level of listening to the wind and arguing shadows, why can't they get the slightest message a few days ago? And now they can easily get this news at once, after all, Hump Mountain Villa is the place where the old men of the Jiangnan martial arts are located, even if the military salary and silver are hidden there, how can they easily leak the news? Therefore, considering the above comprehensive information, it can be preliminarily concluded that this should be a trick used by the Demon Palace, in order to direct all attention to the Hump Mountain Villa, so that they can calmly transfer the stolen goods. β
Hearing this, Du Gang behind Zhu Yunding couldn't help but interject, "Jiang Daxia, all the paths along the way out of Jinling City are set up with checkpoints, which are defended by the local capture and garrison, how can such a huge transportation pass through easily?"
Jiang Shuyuan smiled faintly and replied, "The ability of the Demon Palace and the Black Dragon Gate is obvious to all, and the forbidden land of the Jinling City Mansion is defended by heavy soldiers and brocade guards, don't they come and go freely, like a haystack? β
As soon as he said this, Du Gang nodded silently and stopped talking.
Zhu Yunding said anxiously, "Now the envoy is very annoyed that the head catcher of Luan and the four tiger catchers have already rushed to the Hump Mountain Villa, and the original envoy is afraid that they will make a mistake, so we should rush to the Hump Mountain Villa first to help them, and then talk about it...... "It seems that he has eliminated the mustard of Luan Tianbao."
"Let's do this," Jiang Shuyuan said calmly, "Let's join forces with each other's people, and then select a few people to go to the Hump Mountain Villa to pick up Lord Luan and others, and the rest of the people will gather under the Hump Mountain Villa to wait and see what happens, let's also give the Demon Palace an illusion, let them think that we have all been fooled, our people have already rushed to the Hump Mountain Villa, once the people of the Demon Palace reveal the clues of their travels, the people of our brigade can also attack in time." β
After Zhu Yunding heard these words, he couldn't stop nodding his head in praise, his eyes were full of appreciation, and it could be seen that he trusted and appreciated this prodigal son very much.
After some discussion, it was finally decided that Zhu Yunding's Jinyi Guards and Jiang Shuyuan, Qu Ling'er, Meng Di and others were lurking under the Hump Villa, and Jian Nanhong, Liu Yigong's master and apprentice, the Water Dragon Gang Leader, Murong Junnan and others went to the Hump Mountain Villa to pick up Luan Tianbao and the tiger hunters.
The housekeeper came in and told Liu Yigong that Li Wolong, the leader of the Water Dragon Gang, had arrived with a few of his right-hand men, and the rest of the men and horses were ready.
Liu Yigong got up and said to Zhu Yunding, "My lord, let's go!"
Zhu Yunding stood up from his seat, and also made a hand gesture to Liu Yigong, and responded modestly, "Alliance leader, please!"
Several people walked out of the quiet room and came to the courtyard dam in the front hall, all the people and horses were already waiting in the courtyard, Li Wolong clasped his fists and saluted Liu Yigong in the crowd, "Alliance leader, the old man immediately received a summons, so he hurried over. β
Liu Yigong clenched his fists and saluted back, "Gang Master Li has worked hard," Then, he turned to Zhu Yunding and introduced Li Wolong to the village, "Lord Jinyi Guard of the Imperial Court commanded Lord Zhu Yunding!"
Li Wolong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Zhu Yunding also returned the salute and exchanged politeness.
Liu Yigong briefly explained to everyone the purpose of going to Luofeng Villa, and then raised his hand and gave an order with a heroic face: "Let's go!"
Everyone stepped on the saddle, galloped out of the open gate of Liugong's Mansion, and detoured to the front of the palace to meet the Jinyi guards and the catchers, the 'grimace centipede' Yan Tiecheng had already gathered people and horses to wait there, and after seeing Zhu Yunding and Du Gang, he immediately joined forces with everyone and went straight out of the east gate of the city.
