Chapter 7 Temporarily Avoiding the Edge One
Here, Xiao Yao and Gu Youdao are discussing the attack of the East Factory in the room.
Li Jing, the leader of the Great Righteous Hall of the Beggars Gang Fuzhou Branch, suddenly walked in with a panicked expression.
This Li Jing has a fifty-fifty people's face, he has been in charge of Fuzhou for many years, and he has always been calm and rarely panicked, Gu Youdao couldn't help asking: "Hall Master Li, what happened?"
Li Jing took out a small scroll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Gu Youdao, and then said: "Helper, just now we left in the city to send a flying pigeon to the secret post, saying that the Fuzhou Mansion military preparation party has just gathered people and horses, and I am afraid that the person who came out of the city late at night is not good." ”
Gu Youdao unfolded the paper scroll and looked at it, and what was written on it was just like what Li Jing, the master of the Great Righteous Hall, had written.
Closing the scroll, Gu Youdao asked with a straight face: "Hall Master Li, do you know how many people and horses the Fuzhou Mansion has mobilized this time. ”
Li Jingdao: "Back to the gang leader, this is still unclear, but the subordinates have already sent a few helpers to inquire about the news." ”
Gu Youdao groaned: "This time we rescued Zhang Gongzi from the Kaiyuan Temple in the east of the city, and it is inevitable that the brothers will expose the hidden treasures, the Fuzhou prefect has been looking for us for so long, and he will never sit idly by when he encounters the Kaiyuan Temple, this time I am afraid that the garrisons in the Fuzhou area have been mobilized." ”
"I'm afraid it's too late to wait for the people sent out to inquire about the news, Hall Master Li, you go and gather all the heroes in the deserted garden to get ready, and then quickly invite the leaders of the other seven people to come to the council hall tonight, saying that Gu has something important to discuss. ”
Not long after Li Jing received the order to go out, the laughter in the deserted garden gradually stopped, and the heroes who were obviously celebrating in various places in the deserted garden learned from Li Jing about the night attack of the Fuzhou Mansion's soldiers.
In the council hall, several elders of the beggar gang and the seven leaders elected by the group all arrived.
Gu Youdao said: "You heroes must already know, our night attack on Kaiyuan Temple has exposed our whereabouts, Fuzhou Mansion is sending a large army to come, I am afraid that this deserted garden will not be able to stay for a long time." ”
One of the seven leaders stood up and said: "Gu Gang Master, isn't it just for our brothers to gather in Jiangnan to fight against the eunuchs and eradicate the cancer of your gang officials and beggars, now that the Fuzhou Mansion has sent people here, we might as well take the opportunity to kill him, and then kill Wang Siyi, a traitor, with a thousand knives." ”
This heroic man who speaks, named Li Santong, has always been rough and very righteous, and he has no scheming, that is, because of this, he was elected as the leader by people all the way, but of course this person is arrogant, but he can't talk about scheming at all, and the blood of his words is boiling, but people with a little brain know that it is just a momentary whimsy.
If they really have such a ability, why did they hide in Tibet before, and finally even hid in the deserted garden outside Fuzhou City, but tonight everyone just rubbed the spirit of the eunuch party in Kaiyuan Temple and rescued Zhang Jingxiu after Zhongliang.
It's hard for anyone to open their mouths to ridicule this Li Santong's foul language.
Gu Youdao said with a smile: "Brother Li doesn't know, if it's just a military horse prepared by the Fuzhou Mansion, we may not really lose to him if we defend it." ”
"It's just that everyone is fighting to kill the enemy tonight, many heroes are injured, even if you want to deal with the dog officer, you are not in a hurry at this time, not to mention that tonight we made such a big fuss in the Kaiyuan Temple in the east of Fuzhou City, I have to say that Xiao Shaoxia's plan is indispensable, the eunuchs in the Kaiyuan Temple don't know our reality and don't dare to attack rashly, but at this time, they must have found that Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Gongzi were rescued by us, how can this group of eunuchs give up? When the fire in the west of Kaiyuan Temple is extinguished by them, they will definitely send eagle dogs to chase them, and when the eunuchs in Kaiyuan Temple and the dog officials in Fuzhou City join forces, it must be difficult. ”
The people who sat again had all moved with the people in Kaiyuan Temple tonight, but they also knew that after they were together, they realized that the seven people who were divided into themselves had been arranged by Gu Youdao to lure the enemy.
Although some people couldn't help but be underestimated by Gu Youdao and others when they first knew about this matter, but when they thought of the difficulty of the elite under the Ban Wangye who fought tonight, and the ability of the Jinyi Wei masters who were mixed in it, they knew that Gu Youdao made such an arrangement, which actually saved many brothers who came to help, but there was no one who didn't know what to do to make trouble with this matter.
At this time, I heard Gu Youdao say that the eunuchs in Kaiyuan Temple might join forces with the military of Fuzhou Prefecture, and they all felt that Gu Youdao was far-sighted, and this possibility could not be guarded against.
The walker Wu Zhu said: "Gu Gang Master, according to your opinion, what should we do now, whether we want to avoid the edge for the time being, and ask the Gu Gang Master to speak clearly." ”
In addition to Wu Zhu's position, the other elected leaders heard the words 'temporarily avoid the edge', some lowered their eyebrows and pondered, and some discussed with each other obviously with their own thoughts.
Li Santong, who had spoken proudly before, said with a pout: "A group of cowards." ”
Although Li Santong's voice was not loud, and everyone in the conference hall was discussing it again, but all the people present were all masters, but they heard his words in their ears, and the most famous people in the martial arts were the most famous, and they would rather die on the spot than be underestimated.
Gu Youdao looked at the appearance of everyone in the conference hall, and saw that some people really wanted to fight for the length of the moment like Li Santong, and after hesitating, he decided to tell the matter of Jiang Jingzhong, the director of the East Factory.
He said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet for a while, Gu still has one more thing to say, and wait until you have listened to it before making a decision." ”
Li Santong grinned and said: "Gu Gang Master, if you have anything, let's talk about it together, I don't know what others think of Lao Li, anyway, Lao Li and I ...... it."
Gu Youdao knew that this Li Santong had a rough temperament, for fear that the other party would say something too much first.
Before Li Santong finished speaking, he said: "Don't hide it from you, when I went to Kaiyuan Temple to save people before, Xiao Yao and Xiao Shaoxia heard a big conspiracy from it......"
As soon as Li Santong said the words 'Anyway, Lao Li and I', he heard Gu Youdao say 'a big conspiracy', and his attention was immediately attracted by this so-called conspiracy.
The other people present obviously didn't know what this so-called conspiracy was, except for Gu Youdao, when even someone couldn't help but ask, "Gu Gang Master, what kind of conspiracy is it?"
Gu Youdao said: "Please ask Xiao Yao to talk about this matter." ”
Xiao Yao knew that time was tight at this time, and he was not verbose, and briefly repeated what he had heard in the Scripture Pavilion and what Nan Tianba had said in his mouth.
Everyone present, counting the elders and hall masters of the beggar gang, couldn't help but change color slightly when they heard the name of Jiang Jingzhong, the head of the East Factory.
Even the rough Li Santong couldn't help but wipe the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Jiang Jingzhong, now the most favored person in front of Shenzong Wanli, above 10,000 people under one person, was originally the eunuch of Wanli's palm seal but also served as the governor of the East Factory, secretly manipulating the Jinyi Guard, especially Shenzong Wanli was sluggish in government affairs, and now almost all the decisions of the Ming Dynasty were elected through Jiang Jingzhong's mouth, which can really be described as a power tilt towards the government and the opposition.
Not only that, according to legend, Jiang Jingzhong's martial arts are unfathomable, and when Shi Wanjia, the previous generation of the beggar gang, fought with this person, he was even inferior to him a little, and because of this, Shi Wanjia, the leader of the previous generation of the beggar gang, consciously led the beggar gang without face, and passed the position of the gang leader to his disciple Gu Youdao early.
Shi Wanjia and Jiang Jingzhong fought inferiorly, although there were many rumors in the rivers and lakes, but Shi Wanjia never stood up and said anything, but from Shi Wanjia's removal from the position of the leader of the beggar gang, many people can guess something.
Jiang Jingzhong is the leader of the eunuch party, a traitor who everyone scolds, and the leader of the beggar gang loses to such a person, which has a great impact on the reputation of the beggar gang.
Fortunately, Gu Youdao's martial arts are good, and he is even more resourceful and decisive, so that the beggar gang will not go down, but Wang Siyi, the leader of the official beggars, still took this opportunity to speed up the split of the beggar gang, not only did not follow the jade shoots and bitter bamboo sticks passed on to Gu Youdao by Shi Wanjia, but also took the gold bowl and silver chopsticks that Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded the official beggars as a inheritance, and later became the leader of the private gang.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Youdao had to mobilize the beggars from all over the country to crusade against the officials led by Wang Siyi.
Although Wang Siyi's official beggar disciples are not as many as the Ping beggar disciples under the commander of Gu Youdao, they are better than the support of the Ming Dynasty government.
And Jiang Jingzhong is said to be loyal but will not leave Shuntianfu easily, many good players on the rivers and lakes heard that he defeated Shi Wanjia, the leader of the beggar gang, and went to Shuntianfu to challenge, wanting to kill this wingman in order to become famous all over the world.
But many years have passed, and many people's high-spirited words still seem to be echoing in their ears, but they have not heard of any of them really retreating from the East Factory, and more of them have been annihilated in the East Factory Yamen like a bubble.
There is also a saying that Jiang Jingzhong has four masters, each of whom has a unique skill, and those heroes who come to assassinate and challenge Jiang Jingzhong often lose their souls before they see Jiang Jingzhong.
Some of them are slightly inferior, and they can't even pass the pass of the factory guard in the yamen of the East Factory, let alone go to see Jiang Jingzhong, the official of the East Factory.
The walker Wu Zhu frowned and asked, "Xiao Shaoxia, is the gelding surnamed Jiang really coming to Fuzhou?"
Xiao Yao nodded and said: "It's true, I heard it clearly on the roof of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, the reason why the eunuchs imprisoned Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Gongzi in Kaiyuan Temple this time was originally to lure them out, but they didn't expect us to act so fast, which gave us a chance to succeed in a battle." ”
After Wu Zhu heard Xiao Yao finish speaking, the essence in his eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch the two ring knives on his waist, but the essence in Wu Zhu's eyes then dimmed, and he sighed deeply
