54. Interpretation of the Six Heroes (2)
Qin Chuan saw that the general situation had been decided, and immediately ran to the entrance of the stone kiln cave and shouted: "Master Qiu Helm!" In the smoke, I saw more than a dozen people lying in the cave, more than half of them were killed and injured, and there were still two people sitting there leaning on the kiln wall and struggling to support, with gray faces, it was Qiu Dalun and Teng Qingfa.
Qiu Dalun and Teng Qingfa each held two black objects tightly in their hands, facing the mouth of the kiln. Although the two of them were in tattered clothes and their faces were bloody, they still gritted their teeth and held on. Seeing that the person who came was indeed Qin Chuan, he slowly put down the thing in his hand. Teng Qingfa shouted: "Gang Leader Qin!" and fainted.
Qin Chuan helped Qiu Dalun up and said apologetically: "Blame me for being late and making Brother Qiu and the brothers suffer!"
Qiu Dalun smiled slightly, and said weakly: "It's okay." It's just that if the gang leader is a little bit late, his subordinates will detonate these two 'thunderbolts', and they will die with the six brothers surnamed Xiong!" Qin Chuan was shocked, only then did he realize that the black guy in the hands of the two of them was actually explosives, so he shook his head and asked the reason.
Qiu Dalun sighed: "Gang Leader Qin, it's only to blame Qiu for not listening to Elder Deng's good words and advice that day, and mistakenly fell for Mo Feixie and others' plan to 'divert the tiger from the mountain'. We rushed to Taoyuan Town, where we found out that the bodies of Chen Jing and three of his brothers were in the woods outside the town, and went to check the cause of death. Who knew that the masters of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, who had been lying in ambush around the corpse, suddenly launched a sneak attack, and we suffered heavy casualties. We fought and retreated, and we had been trapped in this rocky valley for many days. If it weren't for the friends of the Baixi Gang who came to the rescue this time, most of the dog-beating sticks of my beggar gang would have been destroyed under the 'thunderbolt firebombs'! Alas, ashamed, old Deng, my brother wants to make amends to him in person!"
Suddenly, Elder Deng's voice smiled and said, "Brother Qiu, don't mention the word 'make amends', it's only to blame the enemy for being too insidious and cunning! Fortunately, not only did there be no need to detonate the 'Thunderbolt Fire Bomb' this time, but the six heroes in Hejian had all been captured, leaving the Qin Gang Leader to fall! Hehe, Brother Qiu. You have narrowly escaped death this time!" Qiu Dalun shook his head again and again, panting loudly, unable to speak.
The beggars were trapped for many days, with all the dead and wounded, leaving only Qiu Dalun and Teng Qingfa and other four people, and even Fan Wu was killed in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.
At this time, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and everyone had to support Qiu Dalun and others, holding the six heroes in the river, and as for the corpses of the beggars, they could only be buried in the fire. But I can't care about it.
The crowd rushed out of the ring of fire and came to a higher place. Soon, I heard the sound of fighting fading out, and the footsteps were getting closer, but it was the two elders Wu and Wang who led the crowd to come.
Qin Chuan heard Elder Wu say that Shicai and Mo Fei had a fierce battle between the two sides, the Hundred Opera Gang lost sixty disciples, and the Heavenly Dao Alliance also killed and injured dozens of people.
Mo Feixie presided over the overall situation of Mount Tai this time, and successively Cong Tiegan, Lian Dong, Ning Xu, Zhu Kongzi and others were beaten to pieces by Qin Chuan, and they were defeated and lost. Suddenly, I heard that the "Six Heroes of the River" in the Troubled Stone Valley were all wiped out. Enraged, he summoned the remnants of the defeated army and left.
Since the rise of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, it has been invincible. Everywhere, there are few defeats, but the defeat of Mount Tai is particularly tragic, which can be described as a loss of soldiers. Go down in flames. Before leaving, Mo Feiye sneered at Elder Wu and said, "Please tell Gang Master Qin, the mountains are high and the waters are long." There will be a date later!"
From beginning to end, he never met Qin Chuan.
The Hundred Opera Gang won a great victory, and they were all rejoicing and excited.
The sunset was like blood, the mountain wind was howling, and everyone's eyes in the rocky valley were shot to Qin Chuan, listening to him. Everyone was silent, and unconsciously, everyone had admiration for this young gang leader who was weak and weak.
Qin Chuan heard Elder Wu's report that a total of sixty-eight gang members had died, and he was speechless for a while, and only after a while, did he say: "Three elders, the remains of these martyred brothers, should we bury them on the spot, or transport the ashes back to the chief helm after cremation?" Elder Wang replied first: "According to the rules of this gang, let's cremate them on the spot!"
At that moment, Zeng Ming, Zhao Jin, Xie Fei and other commanders helped the people move the bodies of their companions, and everyone sighed when they saw these many corpses lying on the pyre, all of them were good brothers and good partners who had been fighting side by side for many years. Several of the disciples in the gang cried.
Yi Wanyu cried very sadly, lying on Qin Chuan's shoulder and sobbing non-stop, she cried until later, thinking of her father-in-law Bailiyi, who died not long ago, she couldn't help but cry more and more.
Qin Chuan gently patted her on the back to comfort, his eyes looked at the raging flames on the corpse pile, his heart was depressed, and he said secretly: "The people of the world are vying for fame and fortune and killing in vain, I don't know when they will rest? So many lives are actually all ruined under the ambition of Mu Changfeng and others! Alas, although I don't want to be the leader of this gang, now that I have promised Uncle Baili, even if I can't make the Baixi Gang flourish, I must try my best not to let the disciples of this gang die miserably!"
When everything was ready, it was getting dark. Elder Wu and the others asked Qin Chuan whether to sleep in the valley or to stay in the town.
Qin Chuan groaned: "Let's go out of the valley first." Lord Zhao Helm, Master Liu Tang, two Lao and Miss Yi are good at taking care of the beggar gang Qiu Helm Master and the injured brothers of the gang. Brother Zeng, Brother Xie, the two big drivers, led people to guard the 'Six Heroes of the River' brothers!" He was afraid that Yi Wanyu would cry and break her body, so he specially arranged for her to do things with Zhao Jin and Liu Qingqing, intending to divert her worries.
Zhao, Liu, Xie, and Zeng took a step back and bowed down to receive the order.
The Baixi Gang made stretchers, carried Qiu Dalun, Teng Qingfa and more than ten disciples of the Beggar Gang and more than ten injured disciples of the Gang, went out of the Troubled Stone Valley, and came to Taoyuan Town to stay in the tip.
After dinner, Qin Chuan asked Yi Wanyu, Liu Qingqing, and Zhao Jin to invite a doctor to heal the beggars and stay at the inn. He led the three elders and the Zhulu gang to rest in the forest outside the town. The inns in the town have limited rooms, and most of the heroes sleep in the mountains and forests outside the town with Qinchuan.
The three elders and several helmsmen all persuaded Qin Chuan to stay in the guest room. Qin Chuan shook his head and said: "As the leader of the gang, I should share weal and woe with my brothers in the gang, how can I make an exception?"
That night, the Hundred Opera Gang camped out in a wood, and patrols were set up all around to prevent the enemy from sneaking up at night.
There were several fires in the woods. And they sat down every man by the fire, and took counsel together. Elder Wu told Qin Chuan about the origin of the "Six Heroes of the River". It turned out that these six people were surnamed Xiong, but they were siblings, called Xiong Laoda, Xiong Lao's second and Xiong's third were in turn Xiong Lao's sixth, but no one knew their real names.
The six brothers live by farming and hunting on weekdays, and occasionally do some righteous deeds to eliminate violence and peace, help the crisis and solve difficulties, and are very famous in the Hejian Mansion, and the nickname given to his brother on the rivers and lakes is called "Hejian Six Bears". The six people did not follow, thinking that this nickname was indecent, and later consulted a local teaching gentleman, who claimed to be the "Six Heroes of the River", and over time, the name spread.
The eldest of the six heroes, Xiong Lao, had studied under Xiao Yan of the Iron Sword Gate when he was young, but he did not officially join his disciples. Later, the Iron Sword Gate was destroyed by the Demon Sect, and Boss Xiong became the only descendant of the Iron Sword Gate.
Qin Chuan heard that the six heroes had never oppressed the township, and there were no major evil deeds, so he muttered: "Most of them were also forced by Mu Changfeng. I had to be willing to be a vassal. Thinking of the ghost mother-in-law, Mr. Tang Er's uncle and nephew, Taishan faction Qundao and Guo Fengchun and others, he sighed, and said: "When the fight was in the afternoon, his two brothers had a chance to escape, but these two saw that the bear boss was captured, and resolutely returned. Why don't you let them go?"
Elder Wu said, "Yes, helper." Turning his head to Shanxi, the helmsman Zeng Ming gave a look. Zeng Ming understood, and nodded to the person beside him in a low voice. The man immediately stood up and pushed through the crowd. Walk away quickly. Everyone recognized that person was Zeng Ming's deputy, Lu Jin.
Elder Wu continued: "Gang Master, Shicai's subordinates heard that the old lady of Songyunzhuang has passed away, should we go to the funeral!" He was afraid that Qin Chuan would be too distracted, and said in a low voice: "When the old gang leader of Baili died. The young owner of Songyunzhuang once came to Luoyang to pay tribute on behalf of his father. ”
Qin Chuan had already heard Yi Wanyu say this, nodded and said, "Since it is a martial arts lineage, it is natural to go to worship." Besides, Brother Huang Bao is still recuperating from his injuries in Songyunzhuang. We should go and pick it up, too. After a pause, he smiled and said, "Elder Wu, I said that the three elders will punish the gang according to the rules of the gang, and there is no need to ask for advice on everything!"
Before Elder Wu could answer, Elder Wang had already laughed and said, "Helper, these trivial matters are nothing. But it's better for your old man to be in charge of the big things in the gang!" Wu and Deng also nodded yes.
Qin Chuan smiled at Elder Deng again: "Brother Deng, I want to borrow the order to use it, I don't know what the respect is?" Elder Deng was stunned, then his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "It turns out that the gang leader has taken a fancy to Huang Bao's kid." It's the kid's creation. Well, this little guy has decent qualifications, and he is also loyal and honest, and among my seven apprentices, he is considered a leader!
Qin Chuan smiled and said, "That day in the inn, if Huang Bao hadn't sacrificed himself to save me, I would probably have been injured at the hands of a thief." After a little hesitation, he said: "I want to transfer Huang Bao to the general rudder, it does have the intention of cultivating well, as for which incense hall to place it in?"
Liu Chengfeng, the hall master of the White Tiger Hall, nicknamed the "sick big worm", is a stutterer, and has always disliked to talk much, so he didn't wait for Qin Chuan to finish speaking, and said first: "Help, help the master, then transfer the Huang, Huang, and Huang Bao brothers to the White Tiger Hall." Subordinate...... I was thinking of asking for ...... from Elder Wu Someone!"
When the group of heroes present heard this, they were all happy, and they all thought: "Who said that Lord Liu Helm stammered, and he wanted to get up, but it was much smoother than others!" and some people looked at Elder Deng with envy, and thought: "That guy Huang Bao has gone lucky this time, and he has to help the master with blue eyes." ”
Elder Wu stroked his beard and smiled, "You don't have to make a fuss in your stomach. Although the gang leader is to promote Huang Bao, he is also to repay him for fighting prostitution and thieves in the inn and standing up to protect the master. From now on, as long as you move forward bravely and kill more bad guys when you encounter the enemy, the helper will never favor one over the other. Ha Lu Ha!"
Although the number of the four leaders of the Baiju Gang is small, they directly obey the orders of the gang leader, and they have great power. It is to help more than 10,000 disciples in the whole gang, and they are all proud to be able to enter the general rudder. But everyone knows that unless the martial arts, character, ability, and talent are all superior, with Huang Bao's prestige, if it is not favored by the gang leader, if he wants to enter the helm, he will have to endure at least another ten or eight years.
Everyone was talking about Huang Bao's entry into the helm, when a disciple suddenly walked up behind Elder Wu and whispered a few words in his ear. Under the firelight, he saw that Elder Wu's face was solemn, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he said to Qin Chuan: "Qiyu Gang Master, Brother Yuanfu wrote that Lianjiazhuang burned down for a day and a night yesterday, and hundreds of mansions have been burned to the ground. Lian Dong's traitor has also fled without a trace, most of them are with Mu Changfeng, alas, there is no news of him at present. ”
Qin Chuan was taken aback and said, "Who did it?" Elder Wu sighed: "Brother Yuan's letter said that Lian Baicheng, the father of Lian Dong, did it. Even the son of Baicheng Zhilu Dao betrayed his master and took refuge in the evil way, and even caused many brothers such as Tao Duo to die in vain, and the blame was inescapable, and what he did was despised by his fellow martial artists. He was afraid that his gang would go to seek revenge, so he set fire to avoid disaster and flew away with his family!"
Qin Chuan was secretly frightened: "The vendetta in the rivers and lakes is really terrifying. Lian Dong killed Tao Duo and several other brothers, although he deserved to die, but his family was innocent, and he couldn't imagine that his father would destroy the family to avoid trouble. ”
At the moment, he said awe-inspiringly: "Brothers, as the saying goes, one person does things and one person is responsible, Lian Dong killed his own brothers, and he is innocent of death, everyone wants to avenge the Tao Helm Lord, which is also human nature and natural." However, this matter has nothing to do with others, and we should not be embarrassed for his family and friends! This gang is chivalrous, and the gang rules are strictly prohibited, and we must not indiscriminately kill innocent people and do anything wrong. In the future, this gang will follow it from the bottom of the self and obey it as one, otherwise it will be severely punished!"
The heroes of the Baixi Gang stood up one after another, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "The subordinates must follow the instructions of the gang leader, and dare not violate the gang rules!"
Qin Chuan said: "Elder Wang is the law enforcement elder of this gang, he has always been iron-faced and selfless, and he must be strictly supervised in the future, and all those who commit adultery and criminals in this gang will be severely punished and will not be tolerated!" Elder Wang bowed down to receive the order and said loudly: "Thank you for trusting your subordinates, Wang Chong does not dare to slack off in the slightest!" (To be continued......)
