Forty-seven, desperate Erlang (3)

When I woke up the next day, I felt that my mouth was dry, my headache was splitting, and I secretly regretted it in my heart: "Yumei Lanmei has persuaded me to drink less wine, why did I forget everything when I saw my second brother!"

He pushed the door out, saw Zhu Bo and a disciple of the gang waiting outside the door, and asked, "Brother Zhu, where is my second brother?" Zhu Bo hurriedly saluted: "The helper is up!" Qin Chuan saw the fiery morning sun in the sky, and it was already three poles in the sun.

He slapped his forehead and secretly exclaimed, "Oops, I'm so drunk that I sleep until midnight, won't I let Elder Deng and Lian Helm Master and other brothers in the gang laugh?" Thinking of the second brother again, he asked, "Which room is my second brother resting in?"

Before Zhu Bo could answer, he saw Elder Deng and Lian Dong coming side by side, and said happily: "The helper is awake!" Qin Chuan's face turned red, and he said in a sneering voice: "I'm very ashamed to be drunk and sleepy!" Elder Deng laughed and said: "Where did the helper say, you and Qin Erxia haven't seen each other for many years, it's rare for brothers to reunite after a long absence, what a happy thing in life, since you should be a big deal, you don't get drunk and have no home!"

Qin Chuan said: "Didn't my second brother wake up either?"

Lian Dong said with a smile: "Qin Erxia got up before dawn, and when he saw that the helper was sleeping, he didn't let his subordinates disturb the helper. Qin Erxia said that he had told the helper last night that he had to rush to Haizhou for something important, and he would no longer resign, and let his subordinates tell the helper. Qin Erxia asked the master to take care of Miss Lu, and he will be back in ten days!"

Qin Chuan didn't expect the second brother to leave in a hurry, so he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart: "I told the second brother a lot of things to help me when I was drinking last night, and how could the second brother have said that he was going to Haizhou, could it be that I forgot to drink too much? I wanted to ask the second brother, an old Jianghu, to help me get an idea, but who knew that he would leave first." It's been ten days since I left, Elder Wu and Yumei don't know what's going on, how can I wait another ten days. Alas, it seems that everything is still on my own. ”

Thinking again, "Second Brother asked me to take care of Miss Lu, but what did I mean?" and asked, "How is Miss Lu?" Elder Deng said, "Qin Erxia and his subordinates have already checked her injuries this morning. It's not a big deal, just grab the medicine according to the herbal prescription, and after ten days and a half months, you can get out of bed. ”

The three of them came to Lu Qiuniang's room and saw that she was still unconscious. The two maidservants arranged by Lian Dong were decocting medicine. The room was filled with the smell of medicine.

The three of them withdrew. I saw Zhu Bo leading his shopkeeper to bring breakfast to Qinchuan's room.

Qin Chuan was eating, when he suddenly heard the crisp sound of silver bells from Ling Ling and Ling Ling in the air. He got up and walked to the window, looked up, and saw a white dove in a circle in the air, swooped down, and came to rest in the hands of a man in the patio.

That person was Liandong. He smiled at Elder Deng beside him. He said, "I hope there is good news!" and reached out to untie a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg and poured out a piece of paper. Elder Deng glanced sideways, and couldn't help but let out a startled "pout".

Qin Chuan asked in the window, "What's the matter?"

Deng and Lian looked solemn, looked at each other, and did not say anything.

Qin Chuan hurriedly walked out and came to the patio, ignoring that there were other customers in the store, and asked, "Is there any message from Elder Wu?"

Elder Deng hesitated slightly, then slowly handed the note to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan's heart was shocked: "Could it be that Elder Wu and Sister Yu are in trouble!" When I unfolded it, there was only one sentence on the paper: "Master Tao Helm has been killed, and the second elder Wu and Wang are trapped in the Jade Emperor Temple of the Taishan Sect!" but did not mention Yi Wanyu and Sang Qinghong's two daughters.

Qin Chuan looked at Deng and Lian and saw that the inn was crowded. Then he turned and went back to his room. Deng and Lian followed in. Qin Chuan said: "Where did this letter come from, is it true or false, what is going on?" Lian Dong sighed and said slowly: "This letter must have been sent by Brother Yuan!"

Qin Chuan said, "What is that?" Elder Deng coughed. The interface said: "Qiyu Gang Leader, Brother Yuanfu is a sentry of the helm of the gang, responsible for finding out information. The subordinates had heard the helmsman say it. The whereabouts of the Heavenly Dao Alliance thieves in the wheat field were discovered by the Yuanfu brothers the previous time. Brother Yuan's handwriting is also known to his subordinates, and it is indeed correct, and this interrogation is absolutely true. It seems that the Taishan faction has voted for the Heavenly Dao Alliance, they killed the Tao Duo Master, and trapped the two eldest brothers of King Wu and the Jade Girl!"

The Taishan faction's involvement in the Heavenly Dao Alliance had already been known to Qin Chuan. The deaths of Gu Xu, Mu Xuan and other Taoist priests in the sect were all seen by him, so it was naturally true. I thought: "Yes, the Taishan faction and the Wasp Gang have already surrendered to Mu Changfeng and are complicit, so the two bees killed Xiao Qian and trapped Elder Wu." It's just that Mu Changfeng was poisoned and difficult to treat, such as who is in charge of the overall situation here in the Dao Alliance today?"

Qin Chuan secretly thought that if the news was true, Elder Wu and the others would naturally be in a dangerous situation, and their safety was unpredictable, and he was very sad when he thought of Tao Ping's murder.

Lian Dong stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, and said in a lost voice: "Ah, it's not good, eighty percent of the Yuanfu brothers have also encountered an accident!"

Qin Chuan exclaimed: "Why did Big Brother Lian say this?"

Lian Dong sighed: "The helper doesn't know. The subordinates saw that Brother Yuan's handwriting was a little sloppy, and the letter was bloodshot, thinking that this letter was rushed when it was dangerous, so there is this speculation, I hope I guessed wrong!"

When Qin Chuan and Elder Deng took a closer look at the note, there was indeed a faint bloodstain.

Qin Chuan gasped and said, "It seems that Elder Wu and their situation is not good!" Elder Deng said: "Gang leader, without further ado, only to do the help of this gang near Mount Tai, kill the Jade Emperor together, ask for someone from the Taishan faction, and at the same time find out the truth about the murder of the Tao Duo Master!" After a pause, he hesitated: "It's just that the help master's skills have not recovered, so it's better to stay in the inn and wait for us to ......."

Qin Chuan shook his hand and said, "Elder Deng, my internal injuries have healed, don't worry!"

Elder Deng sighed, nodded to Lian Dong and said, "Lian Helmsman, pass the order, except for Huang Bao and Jin San who stay here to protect Miss Lu, all the rest of the disciples will meet in the north of the city, prepare the guys, and prepare to kill the Jade Emperor and send people to Mount Tai!"

Qin Chuan was in the inn, and soon he heard the sound of the gang's signal rockets sounding in the air inside and outside the city.

Although Elder Deng, Lian Dong and Hebei, Shanxi, Zhili and other people who had arrived one after another to break the rudder, and the hall masters and others who came to help, he still couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, and thought: "If the four helmsmen of Xiaoxian Tao, Han, Zhao, and Sang were all here that day, plus Yumei and the three elders, there would be many strong people, it would be the best." ”

The Baiju Gang has a total of "four halls and thirteen rudders", that is, in addition to the four incense halls in the main rudder. In addition, there are various rudders in the south, seven, north, and sixteen provinces. Now the hall masters who have come to meet the gang leader are Xie Fei, the hall master of the Qinglong Hall, Liu Chengfeng, the hall master of the White Tiger Hall, and Liu Qingqing, the master of the Vermilion Bird Hall.

Several leaders of the Baiju Gang repeatedly discussed in Qin Chuan's room. Elder Deng even looked at the map of the peaks of Mount Tai, what is the Riguan Peak, Nantianmen, Baizhang Cliff, etc., where are the large and small peaks, where are the temples and Taoist temples, where is the best to go up the mountain, and where is the best sneak attack.

Qin Chuan secretly thought that he was new to the rivers and lakes and lacked experience, no matter whether he won or lost this battle, he would inevitably lose the lives of his brothers in the gang, and suddenly his heart moved, and said: "Mount Tai is known as the first mountain in the world. The most precipitous and difficult to walk, not to mention that the enemy is difficult to deal with, even if this cliff is steep, if you are not careful, you will be crushed. Elder Deng, I want to go up the mountain alone to find out, and you will lead everyone to wait for the opportunity to move. How about I send out the signal with my gang, and everyone rushes up to answer it?"

Elder Deng was stunned. immediately understood the meaning of the helper, and muttered: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." The helper's plan was good. It's just your internal injury......" Qin Chuan waved his right hand and said, "My injury has indeed healed." Don't worry, just do it. ”

When everyone saw that the helper had made up his mind, they couldn't help but look at each other and couldn't make a sound. Elder Deng and several hall masters and helmsmen all said no matter what. The helper should not be left alone in danger. Qin Chuan was unwilling to help the disciples rush up the mountain without knowing the situation, if there were casualties, wouldn't it be worthy of the old gang leader.

The controversy is undecided. Lian Dong suddenly said: "Helper, Elder Deng, brothers, there is a sentence below, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Everyone's eyes looked at Liandong in unison.

Qin Chuan said: "Brother Lian, please speak!" Lian Dongjun smiled on his face, bowed slightly, and said: "Since the gang leader wants to break Mount Tai alone and take the lead, he doesn't want the brothers to take risks." But as a subordinate, what kind of face do I have to sit back and watch the helper go to trouble alone!"

Elder Deng and the others all nodded yes. Liu Qingqing, the master of the Vermilion Bird Hall, was a middle-aged beauty with a heroic personality and the only woman present, she glared at Lian Dong and said, "Hmph, then with the meaning of Lian Brother, what should I do? In short, let the helper alone be in danger, it is absolutely impossible!" As soon as she said this, several helmsmen echoed one after another, disagreeing with Qin Chuan to go to Mount Tai alone.

Lian Dong smiled slightly, and said to Qunhao: "Hall Master Liu, brothers of all families, don't be in a hurry." He bowed his hand to Qin Chuan again and said, "The subordinates think about it, although the plan of the helper is ingenious, the worries of the elder brothers and Sister Liu are not unreasonable. It's better to do this: the gang leader led the two masters of the gang to go to the top of the Jade Emperor first, and the gods did not know it, if they found out the truth, they sent a rocket message, and the rear team of people and horses went up the mountain in batches, and those who were in danger stayed at the bottom of the mountain to respond. When the time comes, the gang leader will gather all the people, first surround the Jade Emperor Temple, and then kill in one fell swoop. What do you think?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone thought so. Elder Deng muttered: "In this way, let the subordinates accompany the helper to go up the mountain first, and Brother Zeng will lead the helm brothers to answer and follow the signal, how about it?"

Qin Chuan was overjoyed and said, "Very good, the helmsman is really resourceful, and he has a good idea!"

Several helmsmen asked for help and volunteered to follow the helper. Lian Dong said: "Qiqi Gang Master, since Elder Deng arranged for Brother Zeng Ming, who is the rudder of Shanxi, to lead the group, it is better for Elder Deng and his subordinates to follow the gang leader up the mountain first, and take care of it!" He saw that Liu Qingqing wanted to raise objections again, so he smiled at her and said, "After all, Taishan is in Shandong, and Brother Xi is the helmsman of Shandong, how can he stay out of the matter?"

Liu Qingqing raised her eyebrows, and wanted to raise different opinions again, but after thinking about it, she stopped making a sound.

The helmsman of Shanxi Branch, "Thunder", Zeng Mingha, smiled and said: "Brother Lian is so anxious to go up the mountain to save people, it is really affectionate and righteous. Brother Lian, good things are near!"

Everyone knows that Lian Dong and Sang Qinghong are fiancées, and Zeng Ming made fun of it, and they all laughed about it. Lian Dongjun blushed slightly, smiled faintly, and turned his head to the side.

Qin Chuan thought of Sang Qinghong, nodded and said, "Okay, just do what Brother Lian wants." After a pause, he said, "Elder Deng, although he is the leader of the helper, he is ashamed and has no experience in commanding the enemy. In this action, the elders have full authority to give orders, and all the people are from themselves down, but the elders are the first to take the lead!"

Elder Deng knew that what the gang leader said was true, so he bowed down and accepted the order.

The plan has been decided, and the Baixi Gang gathered around Qinchuan to the outside of the city, traveled about five miles, turned around the peaks, and arrived at a mountain pass. Qin Chuan suddenly saw hundreds of people gathered in front of him, and the momentum was huge, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Zeng Ming took a step forward and shouted, "Gang Master Qin has arrived!"

The disciples had already seen Qin Chuan and his party, and they all stood up, and when they heard Zeng Ming kneeling down, they suddenly shouted: "Disciples, see the master of the help!"

Since Qin Chuan took charge of the Baixi Gang, it was the first time he saw so many gangs, and he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Hello brothers, please sit!" After everyone got up, several disciples moved a few stone piers. Deng, Lian and others invited Qin Chuan to sit in the center, and then sat down on both sides in turn.

The disciples dispersed and sat on the ground, silent.

Qin Chuan saw that the disciples of the Baixi Gang sat still according to their positions, either front or back, left or right, and everyone looked solemn, knowing that the gang rules were like this, so he didn't say more.

Elder Deng got up from his seat, bowed to Qin Chuan, turned to everyone, and said in a loud voice: "Disciples, listen: Recently, the Heavenly Dao Alliance has done a lot of evil, and in order to bring disaster to the world, it is trying in vain to exterminate the major gangs in the rivers and lakes and dominate the martial arts. Since the old gang leader, many brothers have been brutally poisoned, and now the thieves are colluding with the Taishan faction to trap the two elders of the gang in the Jade Emperor view.

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was surging, and the mountains roared: "Chivalrous and righteous, free from all over the world!"

After a while, Elder Deng pressed his hands to silence the voice, and said loudly: "Yes, 'do chivalrous deeds, and be free from all over the world'! This gang is a chivalrous gang, and the brothers in the gang are all engaged in performing arts and supporting themselves. But now the evil devil has come to the door in a crooked way, killed my brother, and forced me to submit. Let's ask if under its obscenity, the day is not safe, how can we talk about being free in the world, and how can we talk about chivalry and righteousness!"

When Qunhao heard this, he was even more indignant, and he swore to fight the evil devil's crooked way to the end and never give in.

After a while, the sound gradually stopped. Elder Deng asked Qin Chuan for a few words in a low voice, and then said loudly to everyone: "The helper has an order: from now on, kill the top of Mount Tai and rescue the two elders!" (To be continued......)
