Chapter 16 Selling Peaches
Although Yang Shuo was ashamed that Sikong Gu used this treacherous and ruthless way to prove the innocence of the Cao Gang, he was also pleased that Nangong Jun and others were able to wash away their grievances, and now Lu Xun still seemed to want to detain the Cao Gang, which made Yang Shuo quite puzzled.

But this time Yang Shuo didn't ask Lu Xun for the reason before Sikong Gu, in the conversation between Sikong Gu and Lu Xun, Yang Shuo was already very clear about his current status: he was just a symbol of the Cao Gang, and Sikong Gu didn't tell him any news, probably because he was afraid that he would do something bad...... If Yang Shuo's pursuit of "morality" will lead to the failure of the entire plan, then Yang Shuo also thinks that he can just stand by quietly, even if it only exists as a mascot.
Sikong Gu looked a little thoughtful, laughed after only a few breaths, and nodded to Lu Xun.
Lu Xun also smiled and nodded in response, it really didn't take much effort to talk to smart people like Sikong Gu.
In Sikong Gu's view, Lu Xun wants an obedient Yangzhou martial arts, so whether it is Yangdaomen or Cao Gang who has the upper hand, it doesn't mean anything to Lu Xun.
According to Lu Xun's intentions, Lu Xun's purpose this time is not only to attack the Cao Gang, but also to attack the Yang Dao Sect, even if Sikong Gu does not clear the grievances of the Cao Gang today, Lu Xun will also find other ways to start with the Yang Dao Sect. For example...... Guide the remaining forces of the Cao Gang Yangzhou to launch an attack on Yangdaomen.
If he really wanted to kill the Cao Gang, when Yang Shuo appeared at the Yamen, the sergeant wearing the uniform of the Jian'an Army could launch a secret crossbow attack and kill, so that the leadership of the Cao Gang would be completely destroyed, and the Cao Gang would be completely scattered. Keeping Yang Shuo, according to the assertion revealed by Sikong Gufang, Lu Xun's purpose was probably to use Yang Shuo's power to let him lead the Cao Gang to organize an attack on Yangdaomen.
Later, while the war was in full swing, Lu Xun led the Xiang army to suddenly kill, so that whether it was a victory in the sword gate or a victory in the Cao Gang, Lu Xun could easily control the side that won the misery.
After all, according to his own reasoning, Lu Xun did not want Yangzhou to have no Jianghu forces, but to let Yangzhou have Jianghu forces that could be controlled by the government. Therefore, as long as one of the Yangdaomen and the Cao Gang exists, it is okay, so no matter which one survives, they will definitely be able to obey him after their vitality is seriously injured.
But Sikong Gu knows very well that Lu Xun's real purpose is not like this, but now he can only follow his wishes, after all, Lu Xun is still an ally, not an enemy. If you want to carry forward the knife gate, you must use the means of the rivers and lakes and cannot be intervened by the government......
Sikong Gu glanced at Yang Shuo, this heavy glance made Yang Shuo even more uneasy, and heard Sikong Gu ask Lu Xun, "I wonder if the adults are interested in making a deal?"
Lu Xun nodded, but looked at Yang Shuo without saying a word.
In Lu Xun's meaningful gaze, Yang Shuo's heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of coldness, and he saw Sikong holding his fists and said: "The adults help the Cao Gang and others to get out of prison, and the Cao Gang should help the adults stabilize the situation in Yangzhou rivers and lakes." ”
......
......
......
When Yang Shuo and Sikong Gu and Li Yan and others left the yamen, Lu Xun appeased Yang Yonghua who had returned, and then returned to the guest room in the backyard of the public office.
When the two of them came to their senses, they saw Lu Xun holding his forehead and thinking deeply, and the two of them were not easy to disturb, so they had to wait for about three quarters of an hour before they saw Lu Xun's body shake.
Lu Xun shook his already numb arm and said to his cronies standing in front of him: "What do you say...... Who is this Sikong Lone?"
The two big men looked at each other, but they didn't know what Lu Xun meant.
Lu Xun didn't seem to want to get an answer from them, he just shook his head and said, "Since our family arrived in Huainan, we have also been ordered to deal with countless people in the rivers and lakes, but we have never seen such a character. You say, can he do martial arts?"
The two big men were even more puzzled, but they didn't dare to snub Lu Xun anymore, so one of them replied: "The villain doesn't know, but seeing his one-handed acupoint kung fu, if he deliberately hides his martial arts, he must not have to be much lower than the famous 'left-handed sword' beside him." ”
After another nod yes, Lu Xun was even more suspicious: "Yang Shuo ranks ninth in the 'Who's Who's Who', and he is also one of the best people in the rivers and lakes, and I also know the ranking rules of this 'Who's Who's Who's' list, this can be ranked in the top twenty people, is not one of the best heroes in the rivers and lakes, that Yang Daomen Jin Youde is only ranked twenty-three, and Li Zhou, who died a few days ago, is only seventy-seven." By the way, Mr. Yue said that if you enter the rivers and lakes, how many lanes can you rank?"
"The two of us are sparse in martial arts, have brute force and don't know internal skills, Mr. Yue said that if the two of us enter the rivers and lakes, they are just a hundred people in the directory. ”
Lu Xun nodded, but the suspicion on his face did not diminish at all: "In other words, with the two of them being among the best martial arts in the Jian'an army, they can only rank about a hundred in the rivers and lakes, if this Sikong Gu really has Yang Shuo's general martial arts, I am afraid he will become a hidden danger for the young master." ”
The two big men glanced at each other, but they couldn't understand why Lu Xun mentioned their young master again, so one asked: "My lord seems to take that kid surnamed Sikong too seriously today, but the villain doesn't think he is anything great, even if he is a good player at the same level as Yang Shuo, it is just the difference between a few more crossbows and a few less." If you want to kill him, call your brothers from outside the city into the city today, and you can immediately put him in a different place......"
Lu Xun snorted coldly, but this sound made the big man's scalp tingle, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
Lu Xun's tone was quite hateful: "Didn't you notice what Sikong Fang just said?"
"Haha, the villain was still about to talk about this, but he just talked nonsense, and he said it all over the sky, but he didn't guess our intention to come to Yangzhou at all. But this kid's luck is really good, and even if he is crooked, the proposed method is exactly what we want,"
Lu Xun snorted again, but when he saw the puzzled look of the big man, he said, "Think about it again, is that Sikong Gu really just lucky?"
The big man's thick eyebrows gradually gathered, and then slowly unfolded, as if he thought of something, and even his voice began to tremble: "Big ...... Adult means ......"
"What we are going to do, can others know?"
The two big men glanced at each other, and after confirming the disbelief in each other's eyes, they asked Lu Xun almost at the same time, "No." ”
"The plan he proposed coincides with our purpose, but he guessed wrong, you really think he is just 'lucky'?"
"This ......"
"This Sikong Gu seemed to know something, but he refused to tell it, so he used a false inference to hide the truth that he knew what we were planning. And this erroneous inference is something we are happy to accept, this kid is really terrible, I have been in the Song Palace for 20 years, what winds and waves have not been experienced? What conspiracy and tricks have not been seen? Taiping rejuvenated the country for four years Yan Wang incident, I can also be regarded as a person who has personally experienced it, this Zhao family, you kill me, I will kill you, I can see much more in the secret struggle for power and profit, but I have never seen such a powerful character. ”
Look at me, look at you, but I still don't understand what Lu Xun meant, Lu Xun's sadness has turned into helplessness at this time, so he explained to these two henchmen:
"If our family wants to eat a peach and let the two of you go to the city to buy it, although you two will go, you will always have some complaints about our family. But if our family says that we will buy some fruits in this army, let the two of you buy them, and then let the two of you buy more peaches by the way, we will divide them, so that the two of you will not only be happy, but also bring back more peaches that our family wants to eat. This is a good idea, but at this time, a merchant passed by the barracks and gave us peaches for free, and if we wanted more, he would have to put some money upside down. And now our family wants to eat peaches again, if we buy peaches at this time, others will look at it, will they think that our family wants to eat peaches? Or will they think that our family is greedy for some small bargains?"
"Naturally, you will think that you are greedy for a small bargain, but what does this have to do with this kid Sikong Gu?"
Lu Xun sighed, the whole person collapsed on the back of the chair, and said weakly: "What we are planning is a big thing that will lose my head, I really regret it now, how can I take you two fools with me." ”
Those two big men, you look at me, I look at you, but I don't understand why Lu Xun is dissatisfied with the two of them.
But at the ferry, Yang Shuo expressed his dissatisfaction.
Yang Shuo was holding the extremely slender sword and glaring angrily at Sikong Gu, while Nangong Jun and the other Cao Gang members who had taken off their prison uniforms on the side had depressed faces, only Li Yan had a solemn face and stopped in the middle of Yang Shuo and Sikong Gu.
Yang Shuo's eyes were red, but he still suppressed his anger and asked Li Yan, "Helper...... Why do you have to protect this boy? ”
Li Yan's face sank like the bottom of a pot, and his voice was low: "Dexi, Sikong Shaoxia is a benefactor of our gang, so he saved us from trouble, how can you fight him with a sword?"
Yang Shuo looked up to the sky and sighed: "But all these years of hard work of my Cao Gang have been wasted for this kid, if Brother Li knows about the spring, how can he turn a blind eye? If I enter the Yellow Spring and see Brother Li, how should I explain it to him?"
Li Yan smiled bitterly: "I, an old immortal, will go to hell before you, and I will explain it to Zhou'er when the time comes, why should Dexi bother?"
When Yang Shuo heard this, he let out a long sigh, turned around and bowed deeply to Nangong Jun and the others: "Brothers, the Cao Gang was destroyed by my hands today, and I, Yang Shuo, am really shameless......
At this point, Yang Shuo sighed again, and immediately performed light skills and went to the south of the city, without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, but Yang Shuo was no longer visible.
And Sikong Gu, who was blocked by Li Yan, walked in front of Nangong Jun and the others, and said to everyone: "Today's matter is only for the survival of the Cao Gang, and I hope you don't want to be surprised. My senior brother is also just learning about my agreement with Lu Jianjun, although the kid has no intention of excusing him, but he also wants you not to complain about the wrong person. ”
At this time, a young man about thirty or forty years old in the crowd shouted angrily to Sikong Gu: "Boy! Our Cao Gang is the largest gang in Yangzhou! In this Jiangnan martial arts, it can also be called a famous faction, and now you have been promised to be an eagle dog of the imperial court! I Dongfang Ling will not admit it to death!"
After that, the young man also performed light skills and went to the south of the city, thinking that he was also looking for Yang Shuo.
