Chapter 5

However, God's favor did not completely fall on the head of the Tongmenghui. Although he had been resting in the woods all night, he was safe and sound, but when he discovered Murong Wandae's whereabouts, Xie Yu and Xu Xu were already in Xiashu Town.

Murong Wanda and his more than 30 cavalrymen all changed into clean clothes. Although the styles and colors were different, there was no trace of fighting.

Xiashu Town is the second largest town in Yingtian Zhenjiang after Longtan Town. A hundred households in Zhenjiangwei are stationed not far away. No matter how brave Murong is, he dare not give him a handle easily, giving the official family an excuse to deal with him.

It seems that Murong has indeed used up his bow and arrow. Otherwise, there would be many places suitable for sniping from Longtan to Xiashu. He should set up an ambush there, and he would not have to run here to set a trap.

I explained to Jie Yu. She was looking curiously at Murong Wandae and her subordinates scattered in groups, wandering aimlessly for a while, some went to inns, some went to taverns, and more people went to medicine shops. Murong Wandae, Qiu Hongsheng and the short woman who had now become a white-faced scholar went to the only weapon shop in the town. They should be there to supplement the horse-killing sabre used by horse war!

But what's the use of such a silly trap? I thought quietly. Murong in Xiashu should be as easy as me to find out that there was no more than 20 horse teams passing by. If Gongsun came to Xiashu, he would also be easy to find out that Murong Wandai was in this town. At that time, he should give up his plan to attack Murong in Xiashu Town and go back to Zhenjiang all the way!

Thinking of this, I suddenly realized that Murong Wandai intended to let Gongsun Qi know that he had prepared. He had only one goal, which was to force Gongsun Qi back to Zhenjiang, where the Murong family must have gained an overwhelming advantage!

But how could the situation change so quickly? Just yesterday, Murong hurriedly transferred Fulin's troops to Zhenjiang! Could it be that the Murong family has new strong support besides the Cao Gang?

I felt confused. Those well-known sects in the world passed by in my mind one by one. In the Hidden Lake, Shaolin, and in the end, only the two words Tang Sect were left flying in front of my eyes. When I remembered the Tang Sect's inexplicable acquisition of Bao Daxiang, I suddenly felt a sudden shock in my heart. Could it be that the Tang Sect came forward for the Murong family to expand their wealth?

I couldn't help but look at Yu. She was whispering to Xu Xu. The fear on Xu Xu's face became less and less, and he changed into a face that was resigned to fate.

Let's go to Zhenjiang! I interrupted the two of them and ordered helplessly that since Zhenjiang has to go, I must go one step earlier and make some arrangements earlier.

Standing at the entrance of Wuyi Lane, where the Paipang Zhenjiang branch is located, I realized that the situation may be worse than I thought. It was dusk. According to the rules of the yamen, the constable should go home and take his wife to the warm kang, but more than a dozen plainclothes are still swinging around the alley. Not far from the alley, a quaint house seemed to have just experienced the ruthless baptism of water and fire.

I remembered the way the guards of the city gate were facing a great enemy when they entered the city, and I couldn't help but worry about the life and death of the people of Tongmenghui.

My just enough surprise and the just enough stay time were destroyed by the expression of the girl Xu Xu. Sure enough, as soon as I left the alley, a few people quickly followed me.

These people seem to be masters among the constables. They are already quite skilled in tracking distances and mutual cover. If I had not been influenced by Lu Wei, I would probably have ignored the existence of these people, but at this time it became a tool in my hands.

Uncle, are you a local?... Oh, yes, what happened in the alley? You just came out of there, you must know! I simply entered a nearby restaurant and waited for the people to sit separately, and I even grabbed one of the older ones and asked

The middle-aged man was a little fussed by me for a moment. Even Jie Yu and Xu Xu looked puzzled, but soon the man calmed down: Young man, you are not a local, are you doing in Wuyi Lane?

But I'll ask you first...

Ah! It's nothing, it's just a house that has gone away. The man said vaguely

Is it the house of the leader Li of Cao Gang? I suddenly had an idea and tried to test it

Gang Master Li’s house!? Haha, that’s not Li… The man couldn’t help laughing, but as soon as he was halfway through his words, he heard his companion coughing, and then he woke up. He stopped talking and said: Who are you talking about where Gang Master Li’s residence?

It's on the road... Hey, you said that it's not the house of Gang Li? Really? That's great! I don't have to send a message to him. I blurted out and looked glad.

The men looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. The middle-aged man asked: "You said you asked you to send a message to me and said that it was the house of Gangmaster Li? Who is he? What message is he asked you to send? What sect disciple are you? His voice is getting higher and higher, and finally he unconsciously revealed his true nature in the constable.

Why should I tell you? While I was secretly amused, I was preparing to play this naughty young man well.

This is Captain He from our mansion. A kind and verbal guy next to me reminded me that

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, he stopped hiding it and handed me the fast waist card.

Wang Su, a martial scholar in southern Zhejiang, was defeated! This identity just shows why I was carrying a sword: When I was passing by Longtan Town, I encountered two groups of people fighting in the martial arts world. One of the seriously injured people entrusted me to tell the leader of the Cao Gang, saying that they were buried in Longtan Town and were almost wiped out. He told the leader of the Li Gang to be careful and said this. He must tell the leader of the Li Gang to personally tell the leader of the Li Gang. However, since you are a man in the government, I cannot hide it.

Captain He heard that he was a loser and martial scholar, so he didn't dare to speak wisely, so he asked about what happened in Longtan Town. I briefly described the war that night and said that I was living in Xinxin, so I learned about it.

Captain He did not hear any flaws. As for why the platoon branch was called Li Zhan’s house, in his eyes, it might be just a mysterious trick.

But he still asked me why I didn't go into the alley. I said that if I hadn't seen him die, I wouldn't have promised to pass on any message to him. It would be best if all the people who were ignorant of the state were dead! As for that house, I still hoped that something would happen to it, and I wouldn't have to report it.

Captain He checked my road guide, asked a few more questions about my itinerary, and then he no longer doubted it. Then he told me that it was not the residence of Li Zhan, the leader of the Cao Gang, but the branch of Pai Bang Zhenjiang. And there was a disaster like Longtan Town there last night. Now the house is empty.

Looking at the backs of several people leaving, I felt suspicious. How did the Zhenjiang government intervene in such a fight in the martial arts world?

I remember Lu Wei once said that the fights in the rivers and lakes are very taboo, and the deaths or injuries are mostly handled by themselves, and very few report to officials; and as long as large-scale armed fights do not involve the people, the government often turns a blind eye and does not interfere. In the minds of the government, no matter whether these people in the rivers and lakes are good or bad, one more death is considered one.

Even the evil people in the martial arts world jointly investigated by the Ministry of Justice and Shaolin Wudang were mostly murderers who killed civilians, or thieves like Yang Wei who raped good women. Only a very small number of people who were listed on the evil people like Yin Guan, who were extremely harsh in the martial arts fellows. Why did Zhenjiang’s constable be so active this time?

Walking on the street with a sad mood, it is an indisputable fact that I am worried about the destruction of the Zhenjiang branch of Paigang, but someone should be able to escape!

According to Gongsun’s words, the person who is in charge of Zhenjiang is Gao Junhou, the former leader of the Pai Gang. With his martial arts ranked 11th in the famous people in the world, if he is willing to escape, even Murong Qianqiu may not be able to keep him. It’s just that in the huge Zhenjiang, where can I go to find his whereabouts?

Jie Yu looked like a boy with no sense of sorrow, and even looked around with interest, while Xu Xu was full of thoughts. Perhaps after she joined the Tongmenghui, she never thought about the word "failure". But as the incarnation of justice in the martial arts world, Tongmenghui even suffered a defeat, and even her closest senior sister died, which made her very confused.

And her destiny is in the hands of this couple of lovers of unknown origin, which makes her unable to figure out her future. She even regrets why she gave her daughter to the man in front of her by mistake, although he brought herself a joy she had never had before...

This was what I read from Xu Xu's eyes when I turned around. Seeing her hanging head and following Jie Yu listlessly, a trace of guilt vaguely rose in my heart, but the guilt soon disappeared: If it weren't for me, she should have gone to see the King of Hell with Li Yuxia! After all, nothing is more precious than life

Someone is waiting in the Laojun Temple in the west of the city. Just as I was flying, a thin boy walked towards me and sent me a whisper.

Sure enough, there were not all government officials in the alley. Although I don’t know who this person is, it’s a higher chance of being a disciple of the Tongmenghui. At present, the Cao Gang has gained an overwhelming advantage in Zhenjiang. If you want to capture me, you don’t have to go around such a big circle.

My guess is correct. After being sure that no one will follow me again, the group of three of us came to Laojun Temple in the west of the city.

This is a deserted temple that has not been worshipped for a long time. It has become a habitat for beggars. The temple is filled with an unpleasant sour smell of urine. Not only does it relieve the rain and feel sick, but I even tried my best to hold my breath.

I ignored the hostility of the beggars and searched around inside and out. Except for a broken wooden statue of Taishang Laojun, where was there any trace of the short and thin man?

My eyes couldn't help but turn on the statue. If it was really the Tongmenghui who contacted me, this would be a secret stronghold hidden by Tongmenghui. Those who did not practice martial arts in the beggars would count this statue of Laojun in the temple, which is the most suspicious.

You kid are so brave, you really dare to find this place! Unfortunately, you surrendered to the wrong master. The Tongmenghui is false benevolence and righteousness. How can you achieve great things? You surrender! Just as I was thinking about it and was about to knock on whether the statue was hollow, a sinister voice made in the statue.

The gloomy sound echoed in the dilapidated temple, which was really a bit terrifying, and Jie Yu suddenly became nervous and alert. Xu Xu even held Jie Yu tightly, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I wanted to test my identity but used such a stupid method. It was so stupid. If I were a disciple of the Murong family, this dilapidated temple would have been surrounded by a long time ago! I paused for a while, and although I didn't believe what was suspicious in my heart, I still asked: Is the leader of the Gao Gang who was seriously injured and the leader was without a leader?

How do you know? The man in the statue changed his tone and said in surprise. As soon as he said that he had already revealed his bottom: Oh, how did I tell you! I heard a whispering sound under the statue seat, and someone came out. It was the thin boy who asked me to do it.

I stared at him with bright eyes, and he also stared at me. After a while, he showed his two big teeth and smiled embarrassedly: You, you are quite smart!

My name is Feng Dazhe, and the boy led us into the passage under the statue

Hero? You can really brag about yourself! Jie Yu behind me said shamely

The young man just explained aggrievedly that it was shrimps, but someone said at the end of the passage: He is my disciple, can't he be a hero in the future? Although the voice is weak, he is not angry and powerful.

I looked in the sound and saw a secret room at the end of the passage. Several people surrounded a short couch, and there was a person lying on it. Although the candlelight was dim, the man's face was red and his face had become much thinner, but I still recognized him as the former leader of the Pai Gang, one of the five elders of the Tongmenghui, and the commander-in-chief of the Baihu Group!

Wang Su, the general manager of the Zhuque Group, met Elder Gao! General Gongsun, Elder Sima ordered his disciples to come and wait for Elder Gao's orders!

I stepped forward and said with a polite voice, and then said with a smile: If a famous teacher produces a great disciple, the Feng brothers will definitely be able to stand out and show their mighty martial arts world in the future!

But I thought to myself: I'm afraid Feng Dazhe didn't learn much martial arts, but I learned the skills of storytelling. I really can't tell the few words just now, which was said by this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

When I got closer, I saw more clearly. His skin was so red that it almost oozed out, but his lips were not bloody, even his gums were dazzling white, his eyes were dull, and his body was thinner than when he was in Jiangyuan.

Why did Gao Junhou suffer such a serious injury? I was really shocked

Jie Yu had not forgotten to act, and said to Feng Dazhe: Humph, my brother Luo is the hero!

A strange look flashed in Gao Junhou's eyes, but he didn't say anything. Feng Daxia asked in surprise: You, aren't your name Wang Su? Why did she call you Brother Luo?

I pointed at the rain and smiled bitterly: Miss Li's lover, Brother Luo Yi, died in Longtan Town. She was stimulated and mistakenly thought I was Brother Luo. After explaining it, I untie Jieyu's acupoints.

General Gongsun, Elder Sima asked you to invite reinforcements. Unfortunately, the Baihu Group is now the only one left in front of them in Zhenjiang.

Gao Junhou said lightly: The Qinglong is defeated, the White Tiger is defeated, and the Vermillion Bird is also defeated. The Tongmenghui is not very lucky this autumn!

Gao Junhou roughly inferred the situation in front of me based on my few words. The men around him, covered in blood, looked gloomy when they heard this. I knew that morale could only be boosted and said: Although there were only twenty people left in the front line of the Qinglong and Zhuque Group, there were only less than thirty people left in the more than 100 elite cavalrymen in the Fulin Escort Agency. Everyone fought for half a pound, and it was not a defeat. General Gongsun sent his disciples to come. He originally wanted to ask Elder Gao to send capable personnel to snipe Murong Wandai.

Then he described Sima Changkong's pursuit and the bloody battle in Longtan Town, but concealed the injuries of Gongsun Qi and Sima Changkong.

Those men were indeed excited and said one by one: Our platoon did not let the Murong family do well. Our boss killed Li Zihu, a famous thief in Jiangbei. The Murong family left behind 170 or 80 corpses before attacking our branch. If we had more than twenty or thirty people, it would be hard to say who would win or lose!

Listening to the man who slapped the slapped gangs and our heads, I know that the slapped gangs and Dajiang League are still not at the right time, but Gao Jun is willing to fight to the death here. Obviously, the upper level of the slapped gangs are much more enthusiastic about the Tongmenghui than their disciples.

However, Gao Junhou looked at me meaningfully. Obviously, he heard the flaws in my words, but he didn't say it out loud. After he sent all the people out and only Feng Dazhe left behind, he slowly said: Mr. Wang is indeed a person who has read books. When Xiao Fengzi talked about your performance in Linjiangxue, I saw that Mr. Wang is different from ordinary people in the martial arts world. I am also a scholar! Mr. Gongsun and Elder Sima are probably both lucky. Murong Wandae's strength, hehe, it must be very strong!

Gao Junhou saw the surprise on my face and continued: Oh, Mr. Wang, if you know who left the wound on me, you would probably be even more surprised. The farewell hook Xiao Bili is a fair duel. I will be defeated in less than ten moves, I will never have thought of it!

Ah!? I was really surprised this time

In fact, there are not many people in this battle for the world, but Xiao Bieli is definitely one of them, not only because he is Xiao Xiao's father, but also because of his special relationship with his master and the friendly attitude that Libido Villa showed to me. If I may not have any psychological burden when facing Murong Qianqiu, it may be difficult for me to exert my true strength towards Xiao Bieli, but I didn't expect that as soon as the war started, he rushed to the front line.

But he, who is ranked tenth in the celebrity list, can actually seriously damage Gao Junhou, who is ranked 11th. It was really hard for me to digest for a while. Although I heard Wuxia say that the celebrity list is coincidental. The top ten martial arts are obviously better than those close to them. However, with Gao Junhou's strength, he supports more than a dozen moves and then runs away. This is the normal strength comparison.

According to his statement, wouldn’t Xiao Bieli have the strength to compete with Qi Fang Tang Tianwen?

Is it because Elder Gao that you are distracted by your martial arts performance? I vaguely feel respect for Mr. Gao who confessed that he failed.

I think Xiao Bieli's performance seems to be discounted! Gao Junhou's expression cannot tell whether this is a joke or the truth: he has been hiding his martial arts since more than ten years ago and is determined, probably for this day

Only then did I understand the meaning of what he said just now, and suddenly said: You mean... Even Murong Qianqiu and Murong Wanda's martial arts cannot be calculated as recorded in the Jianghu Celebrity Records. No wonder General Gongsun was defeated so miserably

But I thought to myself: Have you hidden your martial arts for more than ten years? Do the Murong brothers and Xiao Bieli have such deep scheming? But why have they made great progress in martial arts? They are all in their forties and fifties, how can they improve their internal strength again...

Looking at Gao Junhou’s red face, I thought to myself: Could it be that they have learned some vicious martial arts?

Gao Junhou did not pay attention to my concerns. A few conversations seemed to exhaust his energy. He closed his eyes and fell into a coma again. After all, Feng Dazhe was still a teenager. At this moment, he was panicked and said to me anxiously: Brother Wang, Master has been unconscious three times, but the several main medicines in the prescription he prescribed for me, and the inventory of the city's Chinese medicine shop was bought by Caobang. What should I do?

Although I have a lot of knowledge about Taoism, medicine, military, Yi, Confucianism, law, Mo, name, and various things, medical skills are not my strengths

But I suddenly remembered Jieyu. This girl's medical skills are far better than me. However, her current identity cannot allow her to show her magical medical skills. So I inadvertently gave Jieyu a wink, turned her head and started her pulse for Gao Junhou.

Brother Feng, Master Ling should have injured the Jueyin liver meridian of the foot, Qimen and Zhangmen points, causing liver yang to rise. Please show me the prescription of Master Ling.

This is not my nonsense. I lost a trace of true qi to explore Gao Junhou's injuries. After the true qi has passed, the two acupoints of the Zhangmen were blocked and unable to move forward. Looking at the prescription Gao Junhou prescribed for himself, it is a prescription for curing symptoms but not root causes.

I laughed in my heart. Gao Junhou himself is also a Mongolian doctor. I think that although the Murong family won a great victory this time, the casualties must be painful. It is not surprising that it is a big acquisition of such medicinal materials that can cure knives, rods and gunshot wounds.

Is Elder Gao seriously injured? Jie Yuguo was very thoughtful and asked with a false concern against my body, but his little hand quickly wrote words behind me. I copied it and prepared a prescription. I felt relieved and gave Jie Yu a glimpse of admiration.

After a few words from Hefeng Dazhe, he turned around and left, and the secret room suddenly became quiet.

Wang, senior brother... Xu Xu called me timidly, turned his head and looked over, and she looked discouraged: Even Elder Gao was injured, can we still live, can we go home alive?

I know that in Xu Xu's mind, people like Qi Fang, Gao Junhou have been mythical. Their failure will almost make Xu Xu lose all his confidence. However, this is exactly what I want to use, and then said: Did Elder Gao be defeated in martial arts? No! Did Elder Gongsun be defeated in martial arts? No! The so-called "relying on power, pride people, and wanting to see the power of the enemy is called arrogant soldiers." A arrogant soldiers will definitely be defeated!

I, I can't understand. Xu Xu looked confused. She really couldn't understand what I said, but she had never been to school.

Brother Wang means that the Tongmenghui relies on its large number of people and power, which has grown up a pride and underestimated the enemy, so it failed.

Gao Junhou woke up at some point and said in a deep voice. He looked at me for a long time and sighed: It seems that the Tongmenghui Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and exploring and utilizing talents will surely regain its glory!

Elder Gao praised it, the disciple just expressed his feelings. I didn't continue. After all, Gao Junhou is one of the leaders of the Tongmenghui, and it is even likely that he is the leader of the Tongmenghui in this Zhenjiang Battle. If the responsibility for failure is greater than him

Gao Junhou Qiang asked about my experience with his spirit. When he heard that I was Lian Pi's disciple, a strange color flashed in his eyes. He asked me to perform a few moves before his expression dimmed, and he expressed the same emotion as Gongsun Qi. However, he said at the end: Although Yin Guan is vicious, he has a very high martial arts talent. His achievements in the Lian Family's sword drawing technique are even better than your master Lian Pi. Unfortunately, he did not go the right path and made this unique skill in the martial arts world be lost from now on. The sword drawing technique you have learned is much different from the original one.

He paused for a moment, as if he had recalled something, and a moving smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said for a while: I remember that Master Kong Xiang, the elder of the Shaolin Temple, was the abbot of the Southern Shaolin Temple in his early years. He had a deep friendship with your master. If you had the opportunity to visit him, maybe you would have unexpected gains.

What is the excellent martial arts skill of sword drawing? I laughed secretly, but I still felt grateful in my heart. Gao Junhou and Wang Su are different in status and martial arts, so they are not allowed to make plans. This words of love are even more rare. No wonder he can get the heartfelt love of his subordinates.

While I was talking, I heard a few shrill screams coming from the ground, and then a girl sneered: Boy, no matter how cunning you are, you can't escape my palm!

As he said that, he changed his tone: Come on, tell my sister, where is Gao Junhou? I will give you breasts~ My voice is very lewd
