Chapter 403: The Mole
Ren Bufan said before that he wanted to stand up for Zilong and prevent the righteous path of the rivers and lakes from attacking Zilong because of the matter of Long Mo, which was originally meant to protect Zilong.
Now seeing that Zilong, who was making trouble, wanted to commit suicide and apologize, Ren Bufan couldn't help but panic, and said in a hurry: "Zilong, Hugh is reckless!
"Big brother, you have to promise me that you won't fight for me anymore! I will definitely be able to solve the grievances between Long Mo and the righteous path!
Zilong was just angry, he had always been worried about Wan'er's affairs, and suddenly found that he had become an executioner, and he went to the extreme when he felt uncomfortable.
At this time, he gradually reacted, and the thoughts of suicide in his heart had long since disappeared, but he didn't want Ren Bufan to be affected by his identity as a heavy dragon, so he said so.
"Hey, you kid, when I first met you, I knew that you were stubborn!" Ren Bufan could also see that Zilong threatened to commit suicide, but he was just angry for a while, but he didn't want to make the two unhappy because of this!
Anyway, he made up his mind in his heart, if the righteous path really dared to embarrass Zilong because of Long Mo, he would not be far away, and he would also stand up for Zilong.
"Brother Xie is complete!" Zilong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, let go of his hand, and said to Ren Bufan to the end.
Ren Bufan held Zilong and didn't make him bow down, and asked: "But you listen to the advice of the eldest brother, if you can't do anything, you can come to the capital to find me, and there will be a place for you in my beggar gang! Not to mention that you yourself are the lord of the Hetao, and hundreds of thousands of grassland tribes are all under your command, in fact, you don't have to look at the faces of those people!"
The people mentioned here are naturally righteous people!
In fact, the beggar gang retreated from the rivers and lakes, firstly, it was caused by the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang who competed with Chen Youliang back then, which affected the beggar gang.
The second is that the beggars are powerful and are rejected by the rivers and lakes!
Therefore, now Zilong is destined to have a dislike with the righteous person because of Long Mo's identity, and Ren Bufan is also worried, so he said so.
"Okay, big brother, please rest assured about this matter, I will definitely think of a way to properly solve this matter!"
Zilong actually didn't expect that he would have a conflict with the righteous path martial arts, but now through Ren Bufan's solemn deeds, he realized that because of Long Mo's heavy identity, he was probably no longer allowed to be in the righteous path martial arts!
But Zilong has always been upright, and he doesn't want to be the enemy of the righteous martial arts, although he didn't think of a good way at the moment, he still appeased Ren Bufan like this.
In the eyes of those who know him, Zilong has always been a thoughtful person who makes decisions and moves!
Although the matter of the Hetao seems to be just a force of the wind, it is not without Zilong's strategy.
After Ren Bufan dealt with Zilong a few times, he was quite convinced of this little brother who was much younger than himself, and after hearing Zilong's assurance, Ren Bufan was also convinced, nodded and said: "Okay! Since you have a way, then I won't say more, but let me remind you again, among the righteous path, there are a lot of defenders, you don't have a careful plan, before you can clear the matter of Long Mo, don't show up rashly! Don't think that Master Wuxian is the abbot of Shaolin and the leader of the martial arts alliance, so he can protect you, you know?"
Originally, Ren Bufan didn't say anything, Zilong was really ready to wait for this matter, go to Shaomu Mountain to find Master Wuxian to come forward, vouch for himself, and then fight with the righteous path and the Tianyin Sect!
After all, if the decisive battle of the Yin Sect is not far off today, Zilong believes that if he can make a certain contribution at the time of the decisive battle of the Tianyin Sect, those righteous people will definitely not embarrass themselves again.
But Ren Bufan's words woke up Zilong.
Even if there is a master of immortals as a guarantor, I am afraid that I will not be able to show up with swagger!
Although Ren Bufan has been away from the rivers and lakes for a long time, his status and news are here after all, and his words will obviously not be untargeted.
Although a thought was shattered, Zilong didn't show it on his face, just smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I understand!"
"That's good! I can promise you what you just said! It's just that the situation in the court has been in turmoil recently, and I suggest that if you finish dealing with the affairs of the rivers and lakes, you should also return as soon as possible, and don't stay outside anymore! As for Wan'er's affairs, you don't have to think about it anymore, sometimes you have to have it in your life, and you can't force it all the time in your life!"
Although Ren Bufan is the leader of the beggar gang, he has had more contact with Li Dongyang and other scholars, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he has also learned a lot of things, and when he speaks, he is also a little literary!
"Haha! Big brother, if you continue like this, you can't say that you can also participate in the imperial examination and get the status of a jinshi!"
Zilong's literacy and hyphenation were all taught by Wan'er, but at that time, time was limited, and Zilong's ambition was in the matter of soldiers, so this real literature may not be as good as Ren Bufan!
Therefore, he laughed at Ren Bufan, which is not a lie.
Ren Bufan naturally understands that this is just a matter that Zilong doesn't want to talk about Wan'er anymore, and he also knows that such a matter of men and women, except for the parties themselves, outsiders can't interfere!
At that moment, he hesitated for a while, but also sighed helplessly, and let Zilong continue to speak.
Seeing that Ren Bufan was no longer entangled in Wan'er's affairs, Zilong couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately told him everything he had experienced after Mount Tai!
When it came to Ouyang Jin's death in Luoyang, Gu Xiaotian's tragic death in Fengyun Valley, and Duan Heng's trip to Hetao, Ren Bufan sighed again.
"I don't want to fight side by side with Brother Gu, Ouyang, and Duan Heng some time ago, it's only been a long time, and it's already been separated by yin and yang!" Between him and Gu Xiaotian, Ren Bufan can be regarded as quite like-minded.
It's just that Gu Xiaotian puts righteousness first, and he always remembers the events of the year, and he is trapped in his own cage and can't get out.
Now at the last moment, Gu Xiaotian finally gave up his life, got rid of the shackles of the year, and released Zilong from the valley of the wind and clouds, and he can be regarded as dying without regrets!
"Brother Ouyang and Master all died because of me, so it can be regarded as my debt!" In fact, in Zilong's heart, the deaths of Ouyang Jin and Gu Xiaotian hit him even harder!
Ouyang Jin originally had a deep internal strength, and after practicing Shaolin's Phaseless Robbery Finger, his martial arts were even closer to first-class!
With this kind of martial arts, no matter how much the Qingcheng faction set up an ambush, it would be difficult to leave his life!
He kept thinking in his heart, if it weren't for his amnesia, he planted that kind of poison pill for Ouyang Jin, causing him to break his arm, I'm afraid the result would not be like this!
As for Gu Xiaotian, that's even more so!
If he could get rid of the control of magic as soon as possible at that time, Gu Xiaotian would not have to die to save himself from Fan Tianya's control.
At that moment, he couldn't help but blame himself very much in his heart, and only hoped that after he could do something, he would find a way to atone for his sins!
Ren Bufan naturally understood Zilong's heart, and he didn't know how to comfort him at the moment, so he could only say: "Zilong, no matter what, I think Ouyang Jin and the ancient brother thought that before they left, they thought that you could live well for them!
"Brother Prison is worried!" Although he was sad in his heart, Ke Zilong still said with a smile.
"Okay! It's best if you can figure it out yourself, I won't say more!" Ren Bufan saw Zilong like this, knowing that he was a smart person and would not really get along with him, so he immediately changed the topic and asked, "So, after you escaped from Fengyun Valley, you rescued Duan Heng, and after sending him to Hetao to find helpers, you came to Baoding in order to avoid the interception of the Tianyin Sect?"
"Yes, that's exactly the case!" Zilong couldn't help but say energetically when he saw Ren Bufan talking about the current matter, "When I entered Baoding, I was anxious that the general attack of the Tianyin Sect on the righteous path was imminent, and I was worried that Master Wuxian and they would fall for the Tianyin Sect's scheme, so they hurried all night! Unexpectedly, on the official road outside Baoding City, I encountered the guards of the Beijing camp who were surrounded and killed by those people led by Yang Hu outside, and in the end, only one Qianzong named Xia Jiang ran away, and the rest were all killed!"
"Gonggong Zhang's men and horses were all killed?" Ren Bufan asked with some consternation, "That President Xia Jiangqian, where is he now?"
"After I separated from him, I sent him to move in to rescue the soldiers as soon as possible! Listening to the tone of the eldest brother, do you seem to know the existence of this army, and also seem to know that my brother has left the capital?" Zilong keenly grasped the meaning of Ren Bufan's words, and immediately asked.
"Hehe, I know Zilong, you are smart, I can't hide from you!" Ren Bufan smiled and said, "Actually, that Huang Gongzi had just left the palace, and Xiu'er sent someone to inform me, asking me to do my best to protect this Huang Gongzi! I held a high-level meeting of the beggar gang that night and discussed it with the four elders!"
"How did you discuss it?" Zilong frowned, faintly grasping one of the key points, and immediately asked impatiently.
Ren Bufan didn't blame Zilong for speaking like this, but slowly explained the situation of the high-level meeting of the beggar gang that night!
After listening to Ren Bufan's meeting process, Zilong couldn't help but furrow his brows, pondered for a long time, and didn't speak.
Seeing Zilong like this, Ren Bufan couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the matter?" Zilong, I look at your face, as if I have found something, is there something wrong with my meeting?"
"There is indeed a problem!" Zilong nodded and asked, "I have two questions that need to be answered by my eldest brother!"
"You and my brother, but it's okay to say!" Ren Bufan made a gesture of invitation and motioned for Zilong to continue.
"The first question, among the beggars, there are only four elders who can beat dogs, except for the eight bags of elders?" Zilong asked.
"That's right! Originally, the dog stick was a magic skill of the beggar gang town gang, and it can't be passed on unless the gang leader! But after the civil strife of the beggar gang back then, even the eighteen palms of the dragon descending were almost lost, and the contemporary gang leader changed the rules of inheritance, and passed on this dog stick method to the four elders, and the eight bag elders also learned some of them, so that the possibility of losing it was reduced to the minimum! But why do you ask this? Do you want to learn to beat dog sticks?" Ren Bufan thought that Zilong had taken a fancy to his own dog stick, and immediately asked with some amusement.
"Of course not!" Zilong shook his head categorically, this dog-beating stick didn't even learn all the eight bags of elders, Zilong naturally didn't want to learn it, not to mention that he asked this question, just to know the answer to it, and only listened to him continue to ask, "The second question, apart from you and the four elders, is there anyone else who knows that the person to protect this time is my brother?"
"What a secret this is, how can you easily tell it to others? Elder Xuan has already blocked the news, and all the brothers who participated in the protection of your brother only know that his pseudonym is Huang Houzhao, and he is a noble person in Beijing, which is very important, that's all! But after these people left Beijing, they lost the whereabouts of your brother, if you hadn't reported it through your disciples, I would still have taken people with me, preparing to leave Baoding and continue to track it south!" Ren Bufan said slowly.
"In this way, my speculation is right!" Zilong couldn't help but clap his hands, raised his head, looked at Ren Bufan, and said word by word, "Big brother, there are traitors in the beggar gang!"
"What? What do you mean by that?" Ren Bufan was stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked.
"Big brother, don't worry, you listen to me give you an analysis!" When Zilong saw the snake formation, he had been suspecting that something might be wrong with the beggar gang, and after Ren Bufan confirmed his two answers and learned about these many beggar gangs from him, he confirmed his speculation more and more.
At that moment, after he calmed Ren Bufan, he said loudly, "Big brother, you just said that you can beat the dog stick method, except for the four elders and the eight bag elders, there is no one else, yes and no!"
"Yes, the dog-beating stick method is exquisite and abnormal, even if I want to promote it in the gang, in fact, the skill has not yet arrived, and the understanding is not enough, it is also a shame! Therefore, in addition to the four elders and the eight bag elders, only I, the gang leader, have learned the dog-beating stick method!" Ren Bufan nodded and said, just looking at the indignation on his face, he knew that he was still angry about Zilong's saying that the beggar gang had a traitor.
"That's good! When I was saving Mr. Xia Jiang Qian, I met a master who used a dog-beating stick and fought with me for a while!
Even when breaking through the large array of the guards of the Beijing camp, Yang Hu and these people were able to use the snake formation of the beggar gang, Brother Ren, what do you think these mean?" Zilong also immediately said what he had experienced.
Originally, Ren Bufan still didn't believe it, saying that Zilong had wronged his beggars, but now after listening to Zilong's words, he couldn't help but be full of shock, looked at Zilong, and asked in a daze: "Is this true?"
"Big brother knows me, how can I ever deceive my big brother?" Zilong said lightly.
"In this way, it's true!" Ren Bufan was not a stupid person, Zilong said the matter, combined with the two questions Zilong just asked, it was obvious that Zilong was saying that among the four elders of the beggar gang, someone reported to Yang Hu and others, causing Yang Hu and others to come to intercept and kill Zhengde.
