Chapter 291 Longyan Battle (thirteen)
Send 200 troops from the guard to visit Yantouzhai, which is notorious. This is no longer framed, this is naked murder!

So when Li Qianhu was sure that the expressions on the faces of the two in front of him did not seem to be fake, he was finally out of anger, and began to speak indiscriminately: "Could it be that my lord has lost his mind?"

Wei Yuan didn't want to, but he laughed: "The Red Spear Battalion is going to exterminate Lin Shiwan's gang in Duomaling in a few days. There is no manpower available in Yantou Village. If they don't transfer the guards, who will they transfer?"

What he said was so reasonable, Li Qianhu was speechless for a while, "Are the guards sent to die?!"

"It's not even about dying."

"This is random fate, forgive me for being powerless."

"Hehe, Mr. Li seems to have become determined after eating the weight." Ding Liqiu stood up from his chair at this moment, paced to Li Kaichun, then reached out and took out a scroll from his big sleeve, bent down, and slowly Slowly spread out in front of him: "Look at this thing."

The scroll is an official document: here is Li Kaichun, a thousand households of Longyan Wei, who was stopped by bandits on patrol. Criminal investigation.

The official document was signed by the boss of Li Qianhu's boss: Shi Liangying, the commander of Wei Zhengyin in Zhangzhou.

After seeing clearly the words on the scroll and the familiar big seal, Li Kaichun opened his mouth wide, his face was full of horror, and cold sweat dripped from his head.

Ding Liqiu asked with a smile: "Master Li, have you seen it clearly?" The next moment, he straightened up, turned around and left, and at the same time shouted: "Take it!"

Li Kaichun was then pushed to the ground by two soldiers behind him who had been prepared.

Li Qianhu, who finally realized that the catastrophe was imminent, immediately shouted: "I am wronged, I am wronged, I have never been a gangster!"

"Master Li, you will probably remember the matter of collaborating with bandits when you enter the Zhangzhou prison." Wei Yuan first teased, and then asked him with a smile: "When you call, you should be tongue-tied, lower your eyebrows and bow your head." , with a look of embarrassment on his face, this is called a ruthless army. Well, Master Li, what should the offender do?"

Li Qianhu is an old soldier, how can he not know the seven laws and 54 cuts?But how can you accept such words now?

I saw him struggling with both arms, and after taking two steps forward on his knees, he kowtowed and shouted: "It's the lower official who deserves to die, the lard has covered his heart, and the incompatibility has messed up the rules of the adults. Please put the adults on the next horse, and the lower officials!" When we get back, we will mobilize our entire army, rush to Yantou Village, and take the horse's head to atone for our sins!"

"Okay, okay, stop bragging." Ding Liqiu looked at Li Qianhu, whose hair became disheveled, sweaty, and bluish forehead in a short period of time, and couldn't help shaking his head: "If I knew this before, why did I push the blame?"

"It's the lower officials who are confused, please forgive me, the lower officials will definitely make amends!" From the moment Li Qianhu saw the big seal, he knew that this time he had played off.

But now he doesn't even have time to regret: keeping his official position is the root of everything.Once he is escorted to Zhangzhou, nothing will be discussed, and the Commander will never let him go back. The charges of collaborating with bandits will definitely be confirmed, otherwise, wouldn't it be said that the Commander made an oolong?

This will never happen, he will definitely be convicted, and then his family will be dispatched to a government-run brothel. Li Qianhu knows the rules of the officialdom too well.

After Ding Liqiu and Wei Yuan looked at each other, they found that the fire was almost ready, so Ding Liqiu got up again, picked up the black black official hat of Master Qianhu from the ground, dusted it off, and gave it to him again. He put it back on and said, "Forget it, since you still have a hint of remorse, I will send this official document to me for the time being."

Just when Li Qianhu was about to kowtow again, Ding Liqiu stopped him, and then said to him sternly: "Master Li, my general is the guest of the governor's yamen, like you, a country bumpkin who doesn't know the current affairs, you can kill him." Just kill it, just like killing a chicken."

"The lower official understands, the lower official understands!"

"It's good to understand, now you know the military order like a mountain?"

"It's like a mountain, it's like a mountain. Don't worry, my lord. I'll go to the village tomorrow when I'm under the leadership. Even if everyone dies, I will take down Yantou village!"

"Ah..." Ding Liqiu shook his head when he heard this, "Just those beggars under your command, why are you rushing to Yantou Village?"

"what?"

"I told you to bring 200 people to pick up the leaks. Who said you should go to the battle?"

Li Qianhu was in a broken mood at this time. He had a sentence that MMP didn't know if he should say it or not.

When Ding Liqiu saw the old face whose expression was changing violently, he smiled gently, then patted Master Qianhu on the shoulder and said: "If the thieves are very careful, I promise you to flee without fighting."

So, after the cross-travelers resorted to their means, Li Qianhu, who was subdued, went back overnight to reorganize the army.

The next day, the two teams set off one after another.One is Mr. Lan's team of pack horses, and the other is the 200 guards led by Li Qianhu. There is a morning gap between them.

The packhorse team, which set out early in the morning, rushed back to Yantou Village after 10:[-] am.And after Mr. Lan returned to the village, he hurriedly urged the people in the village to set up the altar—it had to be done at noon.

The altar was quickly set up: on the square behind the gate of the village, there were bill tables, joss sticks, yellow paper, mahogany swords, and rice wine.

And Mr. Lan has also changed his outfit at this moment.I saw him wearing an apricot-yellow gossip gown, wearing a five-yue real-shaped crown on his head, cloud-headed Ruyi-shaped shoes under his feet, fairy-like bones, long hair fluttering, and he looks like a real person with Taoism.

Afterwards, he first bowed to the bronze statue of Lord Earth in the middle of the altar a few times, then bowed and opened a camphorwood box under his feet, and took out several "magic artifacts" from it.

This first magic weapon is a shiny iron frame, shaped like an iron umbrella with its cover removed.

"Could this be the origin of the 'Iron Umbrella Gate'?" The melon-eaters who gathered around held their breath and dared not speak, and only shopkeeper Ma Da asked for everyone.

"I want you to know that this is Wentian Umbrella. Together with Tingdi Treasure Mirror, this set is the treasure of my Iron Umbrella Sect.

"Oh, I dare to ask, sir, what is the use of such treasures?"

"Hehe, this treasure can ask the sky on the top, and listen to the earth on the bottom. It can collect the true shape of water and soil, and the blessed sites of yin and yang." Mr. Lan said with a arrogant smile: "Don't say it's a good or bad test, it's just a hundred miles around. There is a dragon's lair inside, and I can ask the general to come out."

"Tsk tsk tsk" there was a sound of smacking lips.

While bragging, Mr. Lan directed the villagers to tie the shiny iron umbrella frame to the top of a nearby big tree.After the iron umbrella was placed, Mr. Lan took out some other things from the box.

"Actually, my Iron Umbrella Sect belongs to the orthodox Taoist sect, but my reputation is not obvious."

Lan Taoist spoke and opened another iron box, and then took out a delicate white paper and put it in the iron box after showing it to everyone.After closing the mouth of the box, he put the iron box in front of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva: "This is a box of blessings and misfortunes. After I do it later to find out the good and bad, there will be words on the white paper."

By this time, no one in the crowd dared to say anything more—it was too professional, where had the country bumpkins seen such elaborate theological rituals?

Even the fools can see that this is totally different from the crude tricks of the gods and witches in the countryside, isn't it?The equipment is too awesome?Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement at this moment, just waiting for the gentleman to show his power.

The last item is the so-called "treasure of listening to the ground": a strange object the size of a book was placed on the incense table, and then the husband put a leather ring on his head to cover his ears.

The next moment, a familiar "tick-tick-tick" sound sounded from the transmitter in front of him as Mr. pressed his fingers.

"Well, well, there is already news, and the land master has responded." After a while, Lan Daochang nodded first, took off the leather ring on his head, and looked sideways Under the horse's posture, he passed the earphones over playfully: "The boss is also coming to listen?"

"Really? Aren't you afraid of offending the Land Lord?" Ma Shixia said politely, imitating his husband, and put the leather retainer on his ears.

"Oh!" After listening to the beeping sound from the earphones for a few seconds, Ma Shixia hurriedly took off the earphones: "It really is a god, I don't understand it, I dare not listen to it again."

"Hehe, it's right if you don't listen. If you have no morals, it's better not to listen."

The next moment, after looking up at the sky, Lan Daoist's face turned serious, he stretched out his hand and drew out his mahogany sword and shouted loudly: "It's almost noon, the rest will disperse, let's see what I do!"

Everyone retreated immediately when they heard the sound, and then the Taoist began to practice: dancing swords, lighting candles, burning talismans, and spraying wine. .

After about 10 minutes, the ceremony entered its final stage.After the Taoist ignited all the remaining talismans, accompanied by the yellow paper all over the sky, at noon, the Taoist hid his sword behind his back and pointed his halberd at the black iron box on the altar and shouted loudly: "Heaven and earth are boundless, heaven and earth are boundless!" Borrowing the law, the Landlord is in a hurry like a law!"

The freeze-frame picture lasted for about 10 seconds, and when all the talismans fell to the ground, Master Lan Daoist's ceremony was considered done.

"Come here, come here." After summoning the trembling melon-eating crowd from the outside, the tired Taoist priest pointed to the black box on the altar and said: "The good and bad are inside, you can go and see for yourself."

After speaking, the priest went to change clothes.

At this time, the task of opening the box naturally fell on the shoulders of shopkeeper Ma. When he was in the frontier army, shopkeeper Ma knew a few words in order to understand military order documents, so he was considered semi-literate.

After opening the iron box with trembling hands, the heads of the crowd suddenly shouted: "There are words! Really there are words!"

On Zhijian's original white paper, now there are eight big blue characters: "Seeing the dragon in the field, benefiting to see the northeast."

The explanation of Jianlong Zaitian in the "Book of Changes" is this: If an opportunity arises, a genius should seize it.

So when Mr. Lan, who came back after changing his clothes, saw these eight words, he immediately began to congratulate the shopkeeper Ma Da: This is a sign, not only telling the shopkeeper to seize the opportunity, but also clearly pointing out the direction of great auspiciousness: northeast.

Huluyu is in the northeast.

The overjoyed Ma Da shopkeeper immediately issued an order at Mr. Lan's suggestion: Today everyone will get drunk and rest, and tomorrow everyone will go down the mountain and go to Huluyu to ambush.
