Chapter XVII
Jiang Dashao chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "What's wrong?"
"Our brothers who went out to inquire about the news just now have returned, and now the four city gates are blocked, and we can't get out at all. Two brothers who were skilled in martial arts tried to force their way out, but they were killed. Now Hengcheng is only allowed to enter but not to leave. ”
"What kind of person is so bold! If he dares to seal the city in broad daylight, is there still a royal law? Will the officers and soldiers who defend the city not care?" Jiang Yuan was furious.
"I heard that it's from the Red Cloud Sect. ”
"Who is the Red Cloud Sect?" asked Yun in confusion.
"The Red Cloud Sect is the hardcore of the Sky Wolf Gang, and the sect leader Red Cloud is an outcast of Shaolin. It is said that this person is a martial arts wizard who has not been met in a century. But he is brutal by nature, and he can't help drinking and meat. When he was twenty-eight years old, he practiced Shaolin Peerless Force, and the King Kong palm can open mountains and crack stones. could have entered the Dharma Hall to cultivate, but in a routine competition in the temple, he killed a senior brother who was not on good terms with him, and was sentenced by the Law Enforcement Hall to abolish martial arts and expel him from Shaolin. The night before the execution, he killed four of his brothers who were guarding him and escaped from Shaolin. The abbot of Shaolin was furious and sent more than 30 masters in the temple to chase and kill him, but not only did he escape, but he also killed and injured more than a dozen people. And he himself fled to Jiangbei and met Lei Zhen, who was in full swing at the time, and the two became friends with each other, and Lei Zhen protected him from being chased by Shaolin. and helped him form the Red Cloud Sect, specializing in helping the Sky Wolf Gang do those shady things. ”
"Then Shaolin is just that?" Yun asked curiously.
"What can I do then? The Heavenly Wolf Gang is very powerful in Jiangbei, and Shaolin can't use the strength of the whole temple to deal with an outcast! Now he is still ranked seventh on the list of chases. But there are not many people who dare to touch him on the territory of Jiangbei, and he is also a first-class master, and he is accompanied by a large number of subordinates every time he travels, so he is still alive and well. ”
"What is the Jianghu Chase List?" Yun asked again.
Jiang Dashao is not capable, but he is very knowledgeable and strong, and he suppressed the fear in his heart and explained: "The Jianghu chasing and killing list is a big traitor and evil person that the righteous people of the martial arts believe must be eliminated, and it is often a public hazard initiated by the righteous sect to call on the whole martial arts to join hands to hunt down and kill. Everyone on the list is either a giant or a lone thief, and these people have killed countless people and have a blood debt. This can be seen in the seventh place of the red cloud. This person is ruthless, and he doesn't pay attention to morality in doing things, and we are afraid that we will be more than lucky if we are targeted by him!"
Yun Yun had an idea, "We can ask Lord Wang for help! After all, he is the lord of a city and controls the army. No matter how ruthless you are, you can't openly confront the imperial court!"
"It's useless!" Jia Ding smiled bitterly: "Just now we went out and met the arrival of the new city lord, and now we are in the process of handing over the government." Lord Wang should no longer have the ability to mobilize the army by now. Otherwise, the Red Cloud Sect would not dare to openly close the door. ”
After being silent for a long time, Yun looked at the frightened Jiang Yuan and said in a deep voice: "Now there is only one way!"
"What should I do?" Jiang Yuan looked happy.
"Let's go to Lord Wang later, and give him all the money that the Chamber of Commerce has. Then you disguise yourself as his retinue and go out of town with him tomorrow. Even if you want to come to the Red Cloud Sect, you don't dare to openly inspect the officials who have returned to Beijing to report on their work. That way you'll be able to get out of the mix. As soon as you leave the city, leave Jiangbei to find your father. ”
"Good way!" Jiang Yuan's big face blossomed. But he was immediately stunned: "Why is it just me? You can also go together!"
"No, I can't go, I still have some personal matters to deal with. Besides, there are more than 200 brothers in the Chamber of Commerce. Once we're all gone, the dragons are leaderless and immediately chaotic. At that time, the Red Cloud Sect will know that we have run away. Maybe the dog jumped over the wall and attacked Lord Wang's team. Then you won't be able to leave. ”
"Then bring all the brothers from the Chamber of Commerce!" Jiang Yuan was puzzled.
"Where is your usual cleverness? Lord Wang is returning to Beijing to report on his work, except for his family members, can he bring a few entourages? There are more than 200 guards at once, and fools can see that something is wrong. ”
"No!" Jiang Yuan said categorically: "If you don't go, I won't go, it's a big deal that we will fight! ”
Yun patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "I'm glad that you can talk to me, but we can only sacrifice in vain if we all stay." Besides, you know my methods, and it's not so easy to want my life. I'm still distracted to take care of you when I'm with you, and I'm a little less sure of escaping. ”
Jiang Yuan frowned and thought for a while, knowing that what Yun Yun said was true. Being with him dragged him down. So he said solemnly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." I'll go first, but I'm not going to Gangnam. I will settle in Jiangdu, which is the territory of the Great River Gang, which has always been neutral and extremely powerful, and controls the entire Yangtze River waterway. The Sky Wolf Gang didn't dare to make trouble on their territory casually. I have a Shibo who is very powerful in Jiangdu, so I went to join him. If you think about it, the Sky Wolf Gang won't move me in Jiangdu. If you escape, you will go to Jiangdu to find me, and we will go to my father together. If something happens to you, I won't go to Jiangnan for any bullshit. I will transfer all the forces of Da'an back and recruit troops in Jiangdu to avenge you. Even if I die, I'll bite off a few pieces of meat from the Sky Wolf Gang!"
Seeing what he said, Yun smiled with relief and said no more. That night, the two came to find Lord Wang. At this time, Lord Wang had already moved out of the palace and lived in the post house. When they explained their intentions, Lord Wang agreed without much thought. and rejected the money of the two. The boss also knows that he has lost power, and if he can get Da'an's support because he protects Jiang Yuan, he will have a better life in the future.
The night was calm, and the Red Cloud Sect didn't make any moves. Come to think of it, they already feel that they have the chance to win, and they are not in a hurry. There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Jiang Yuan mixed in the family and left Hengcheng with Lord Wang's convoy. Looking at his back, I remembered his repeated advice last night. The clouds are warm in my heart. Whispered to himself: "Brother, go all the way." Then he resolutely turned around and strode back to the old mansion of the Daan Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, Uncle Li, the leader of Da'an's guards, had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Yun coming in, he immediately got up and arched his hand: "Young Master Yun, you are benevolent and righteous to stay to cover my young master, and I thank you for your high righteousness on behalf of the master." Before leaving, my young master specially explained that I will definitely protect your safety. Don't worry, even if you fight for my life and the more than 200 brothers under me, I will definitely send you out of Hengcheng unscathed. ”
Looking at the gray-haired old man, Yun first smiled and motioned for him to sit down. sighed in his heart, not knowing how many of his and this group of people could be lucky to escape in this battle. "Uncle Li, you are an old man, how do you think we should fight this battle?"
The old man was obviously prepared, and took out a sketch from his bosom and explained: "Now Hengcheng is full of the Heavenly Wolf Gang's sphere of influence from top to bottom. Just now, the spies came to report that more than 600 people from the Red Cloud Sect had entered the city first, and now they are scattered around my Da'an. Moreover, there are more than 200 people guarding each city gate, and the Red Cloud Sect can't bear it anymore, so it will be attacked in a big way tonight. All we have to do is withstand their first wave of attacks and try to drain their strength. I have already inquired, and the Venerable Red Cloud did not come in person this time, only three Dharma Protectors led the team. I don't think I take us too seriously. Therefore, when the people on both sides of us first came into contact, we had to take advantage of their carelessness, and we must hurt them, and when they suffered, we would ask for help from the people guarding the gates of the four directions. At this time, we will set fire to the house, and then I will take advantage of the chaos to escort you to the west gate. Now that the new garrison has just taken office, he has not had time to replace his henchmen. Therefore, the city gate official of the West Gate is still my old friend Yuan Bin, and I have already explained that he tied a long rope to the city wall after dark, so that we could escape from Hengcheng. As soon as we escape to the outside of the city, we will immediately enter Hengduan Mountain, this mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, as long as we succeed in entering the mountain, even if there are tens of thousands of people in the Red Cloud Sect, don't think about turning us out again. Then let's follow the map and go around the big towns and take only the small roads. Within two months, you will be able to reach Jiangdu and join the young master. After repeated deliberation, Yun Yun thought that there was nothing wrong with Uncle Li's plan, so he went with the old man to prepare first. He himself, on the other hand, returned to his room after lunch and kept the door closed, running the turtle breath for a few weeks, making sure to adjust himself to the best before the enemy attacked. Because he knew that although he was well prepared, after all, his strength was too thin, and although Uncle Li's plan had no loopholes, it would be difficult to implement it step by step.
In the blink of an eye, the third watch arrived, the sky was beautiful, the clouds were thick, and there was no trace of moonlight, which really added a few percent of the chances of success to the escape plan of the clouds. Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of gongs and shouts outside, and Yun Huo opened his eyes and stood up, what should have come was destined to come.
