Chapter 7 Temporarily Avoiding the Edge II
It seems that he also knows that he is not Jiang Jingzhong's opponent at the moment.
At this moment, a beggar disciple suddenly broke into the council hall in a panic and said anxiously: "The gang leader is not in a good situation, according to the report of the brother in front, it is said that a large number of officers and soldiers are killing twenty miles away from here, and the number is ......."
Gu Youdao asked, "How many people came?"
The beggar gang took a breath and said, "The number is unknown, but it looks like the momentum is definitely not less than a thousand, and I ask the helper to decide." ”
Then Li Santong was no longer reckless at this time, and said: "We can kill in the east of Fuzhou City this time, and we have to say that the Gu Gang Leader is properly commanded, and Xiao Shaoxia's strategy is bright, and you brains should take the idea at this time." ”
Xiao Yao hurriedly said modestly: "I am only a shallow learner, if you have any ideas, let's ask the old hero of the beggar gang to give orders." ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone present agreed with it.
Gu Youdao said a few words modestly, and then said: "Now that the situation is urgent, the officers and soldiers will arrive soon, our only plan for today is to leave this place first and then make a decision." ”
Walker Wu Zhu said: "What the Gu Gang Master said is that this deserted garden outside the city has obviously been discovered by the government tonight, let's evacuate here first, according to the Gu Gang Master's opinion, where should we take refuge at this time?"
Gu Youdao said: "The dog official of Fuzhou Mansion has been the eunuch in Kaiyuan Temple, and I don't know that we have insight into their conspiracy, at this time, we must have expected that we will go south, or to the north, so we will go the opposite way, and go west after leaving the deserted garden, what do you think." ”
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, not to mention the dog officials in Fuzhou Mansion, but they were not secretly thinking about whether to go south or north, but they didn't think about the west.
Wu Zhu, who did not walk, clapped his hands and said: "The Gu Gang Master's insight is extremely high, and the Daiyun Mountains to the west of Fuzhou City are vast and sparsely populated, let's find a barren mountain at random, and we can hide for three days and five days. ”
The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that Gu Youdao had a great plan.
At that moment, everyone in the council hall dispersed, and Gu Youdao, the leader of the Beggar Gang, and the elders of the Beggar Gang were responsible for contacting the disciples of the Beggar Gang in the deserted garden at this time.
And Wu Zhu, Li Santong and others went to contact the heroes from all walks of life who were celebrating.
After about a moment of effort, Xiao Yao and Gu Youdao and several other masters could vaguely feel that the ground began to tremble, and secretly screamed that something was not good, this time the other party not only dispatched a large number of foot soldiers.
In the middle of the night, a cavalry was able to be mobilized, and the sound of horses' hooves came from the south of the deserted garden, obviously wanting to drive Gu Youdao and others to the north.
If Gu Youdao hadn't learned from Xiao Yaokong that Jiang Jingzhong, the director of the East Factory, was leading the East Factory army south, or if he was indignant for a while, it was really possible to fall into the trap of the other party.
Fortunately, at this time, all the heroes in the deserted garden have been assembled outside the deserted garden.
Li Jing, the helmsman of the Fuzhou branch of the beggar gang, said: "Helper, all the heroes in the deserted garden have arrived, please show the helper." ”
Gu Youdao thought for a while and suddenly said, "Okay, then let's go south first." ”
Before everyone assembled, they had more or less heard about Gu Youdao's plan to enter the Daiyun Mountain Range in the west, and then they suddenly heard that it was obviously different from what had been agreed before, not to mention that there were cavalry from the imperial court coming from the south, and this time they couldn't help but explode.
At that moment, a person stood up and shouted: "Gu Gang Master, you are dizzy, not to mention why you changed your words when you said that you were going west, it is the official cavalry that came from the south, how to get out if we are entangled." ”
Gu Youdao looked up and saw that what stood up was a man with a capable figure and a fierce face, and recognized that this person's name was Hu Yifei, who was originally a horse thief who galloped around Sichuan and Guizhou, but he started to pick on corrupt officials and the goods of the imperial court, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and he was a thief.
Since this Hu Yifei is a horse thief, his ability to distinguish the sound of horses' hooves is obviously stronger than others, except for Gu Youdao, Xiao Yao and other masters who know the situation in the south, I am afraid that among the people present, the surname Hu is clear.
Gu Youdao opened his mouth and said: "Master Hu, you are an expert here, you should know that we are like us, even if we want to go, can we leave behind the cavalry in the south?" ”
Hu Yifei was dumbfounded by Gu Youdao's sentence, how did he not know, just with the people present, the level of martial arts was uneven, if it was said that it was not difficult to get rid of the foot soldiers chasing from Fuzhou Mansion at night, but if you want to get rid of the cavalry that followed, I am afraid that not many people can do it.
Even if everyone set off immediately and retreated to the Daiyun Mountain Range to the west, they would definitely be caught up by the cavalry behind before entering the mountain, and it would be difficult to get out in the end, and their intentions might be exposed.
But thinking about going west, a veteran like him who escaped still has a chance after all, and said at the moment: "What the Gu Gang Master said is not right, let's go west There is always a greater chance than going south, and it's better for everyone to escape than to make dumplings." ”
As soon as everyone heard Hu Yifei's words, they knew that he had silently followed what Gu Youdao said, and he couldn't get rid of the chasing soldiers in the south.
Li Santong was the most upright, and even scolded when he opened his mouth: "The surname is Hu, I already knew that your little cub was not a good thing, you horse thieves naturally ran past the pursuers of those dog officers with six legs each, and I want the grandfathers to cut off the queen for you, tell you, there is no door." ”
Hu Yifei is obviously not a loser, and immediately said: "What's the matter, the third grandson, the grandfathers just have six legs, and they run faster than you, who told you to have short legs, you deserve to be short......"
Li Santong said angrily: "Okay, you turtle grandson, third grandfather, I'll let you see which of us has a short life......
Seeing that the two of them are still going to do it at such a time, and once they make a fuss, they are afraid that it will not only be the two of them who will be implicated, but also their relatives and friends will be involved.
Fang Baisui, Li Jing and other beggar gang elders easily persuaded the two to leave.
Hu Yifei said indignantly: "Gu Gang Master, if you want to go south, you can do it, but the surname Hu has to plan for these subordinate brothers, and I will not accompany you." ”
Li Sandao: "Without you soft-footed shrimp, we can still kill those dogs who block the road." ”
Among the beggars, Fang Baisui, the owner of the Shuntianfu Auditorium, and Li Santong were the most affectionate, and persuaded: "Okay, Lao Li, you can say a few words." ”
Gu Youdao also said: "Brother Hu, don't worry, listen to Gu first." ”
Hu Yifei said: "Gu Gang Master, please say anything if you have anything to say." ”
Gu Youdao said: "Brother Hu, your kung fu is the best, according to your opinion, the number of cavalry surrounding from the south is about how much." ”
Hu Yifei fell to the ground silently, and only stood up after a while and replied: "Gu Gang Master, according to Hu, the number of people should be between one or two hundred, and the horses under the seat should be well-trained military horses. ”
Gu Youdao praised: "Brother Hu is good at this, Gu admires, and Gu proposes to go south first for this reason." ”
Hu Yifei said: "Gu Gang Master, what do you mean?"
Gu Youdao said with a smile: "If we go directly to the west, it will be difficult to avoid the chasing cavalry, and we will return to reveal our whereabouts." ”
"And if we go the other way and set up an ambush to the south first, but how can a mere hundred cavalry be the opponent of your heroes, when the time comes, we will kill this invading cavalry, and then march to the Daiyun Mountains in the west. ”
The foot soldiers in the back will only think that we have fled south, and solved the threat of this cavalry, so it can be guaranteed.
Li Santong didn't wait for Gu Youdao to finish speaking, he had already clapped his hands and said: "Gu Gang Master's method is good, those dog officials must not have expected it." ”
Hu Yifei also deeply admired Gu Youdao's method.
Time was pressing, so they left the deserted garden and headed south.
After walking a short distance, ordinary people could feel the tremors of the ground, and it was obvious that the invading cavalry was ahead.
Gu Youdao led dozens of martial arts masters such as Fang Baisui, Li Jing, Xiao Yao, and Wu Zhu, and rushed to an ambush in a valley in front of them.
When the invading cavalry passed through the valley, everyone fought out from both sides of the valley, and all the people in this battle valley were all masters.
In just a while, the cavalry of more than 100 people was killed.
By this time it was almost dawn, and the men had scattered the cavalry, and had collected from the corpses some dry food, wine, meat, and unwounded horses.
Only then did he turn all the way to the west and head towards the Daiyun Mountains west of Fuzhou City.
When they found a barren mountain, they settled down.
Xiao Yao said suddenly: "Brother Gu, the big thing is over here, the junior brother is going to send the ghost master back to the Star River Valley first, and then come to meet the heroes after sending the master uncle." ”
Gu Youdao said reluctantly: "Xiao Yao, this time thanks to you and the ghost seniors, otherwise if you don't say that Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Gongzi can't be rescued now, even those of us who have already fallen into the poisonous hands of the eunuch party, not to mention the injury of the old man of Fang Yi's gang." ”
Xiao Yao said: "Brother Gu is too polite, Xiao Yao has done just a few small things that are not enough to worry about, but anyone with a chivalrous heart will do it." ”
Fang Baisui, who was beside Gu Youdao, said: "Xiao Shaoxia, what about that ghost senior, the old man wants to thank him in person." ”
Xiao Yao said: "Old Hero Fang doesn't have to be like this, my ghost uncle has never saved people in return, and she doesn't like many people, and now I am waiting for the younger generation under the protection of my Senior Brother Qi." ”
Fang Baisui sighed: "Before, the surname Fang heard a lot of rumors about the ghost predecessors on the rivers and lakes, and now I know that the rumors are not credible. ”
Gu Youdao took over and said, "Xiao Yao, is Brother Qi also going with you?"
Xiao Yao said: "My senior brother said that he is going to stay and go to Guangdong with the Gu Gang Master, so I will send the ghost master back alone." ”
Gu Youdao finally said: "In this way, Xiao Yao, you and the ghost predecessors should be careful all the way, take care of yourself, and Gu and the brothers will meet after you have something to do." ”
