Tianlong Sword Guanghan

Chapter 2 2. Sword Ming Yi Qi Yao

"I've seen the helper!"

While the group of beggars shouted in unison, they saw a big man walking from the gate, he looked less than [-] years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose and wide mouth, a face with Chinese characters and a very tough face, looking forward and looking majestic as he walked, Proud and dry cloud.

Seeing this man, Fan Daguan secretly admired him: "What a generous and tragic Yanzhao scholar, what a heroic and heroic man! However, he is too young." Just talked with the elders of the beggar gang Fan Daguan, looking at the young "North Qiaofeng", was full of sighs for "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead".

This Qiao Feng came into the small courtyard and greeted everyone without mentioning it. After everyone sat down, Qiao Feng wondered: "In previous years, Elder Wu would come early for the flower fair. Why is it so late this year?"

Deputy Chief Ma replied: "Last month, after receiving a letter from Fei Ge, the Xixia Yipin Hall showed its whereabouts in the Qinzhou area. At that time, Chief, you went to Yanmen Pass to investigate the movements of the Liao army. I couldn't wait to report. Elder Wu happened to be entering on the left. Therefore, I ordered him to go to investigate, and estimated that he should come back in the past few days."

Qiao Feng frowned when he heard this, and said: "The Xixia Yipintang has recruited many martial arts scum in recent years. Although their conduct is terrible, they still have a few tough claws under them. Although Elder Wu is strong in martial arts, he is single. Safe, have you ever sent capable disciples to meet him?"

Elder Song next to him smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, leader Ma, to be on the safe side, he has already issued seven "Black Bamboo Orders" in succession, ordering Qinzhou and several nearby sub-helms to send more than ten seven-bag disciples, more than thirty Five bags of disciples divided into eight teams to go to meet them, this time Lao Wu is just looking for news, if there is any disagreement, the leader of the gang is here to preside over the overall situation today, why should we be afraid of the beggar gang?"

After listening for a long time, Elder Xi became impatient, and said anxiously: "Exactly, at worst, our gang of beggars will swarm up and fight that Xixia barbarian vigorously. Say with your chest, 'We will fight to the end to protect the country and the people, and we will never fall into the prestige of the beggar gang!'" He was short and fat, and shaped like a wax gourd, but at this time his words were full of clanging voices, and he could hear what he said. Everyone's blood boiled with enthusiasm, and the beggars around heard it and cheered loudly.Elder Xi puffed out his chest and deflated his belly, and nodded in response to the surroundings, quite complacent.

At this moment, Qiao Feng showed a smile on his face, and then a loud voice came from the roof: "Old Xi, if you want to talk to Old Gang Leader Wang, please don't pull me away, I only drank from the ten wine booths in the world. If it’s less than [-]%, you’ll have enough to drink, and then go underground to praise Old Gang Leader Wang!”

While talking, I saw a tall and strong man, holding a ghost-headed sword, jumped down from the roof, came to the table, first saluted Qiao Feng, before he could speak, he snatched the wine bowl in front of Elder Xi, drink up.After wiping his beard and letting out a long sigh of relief, he said, "I'm ashamed, Old Wu, I capsized in the gutter this time, and I almost won't be able to drink this fine wine again!"

Qiao Feng saw that his expression was as usual, but his words had other mysteries, but he asked: "I don't know what happened to Elder Wu, is it convenient to say it, people say 'three cobblers, the best Zhuge Liang' today we are here big and small There are hundreds of beggars, no matter what you do, you can refer to one or two."

Elder Xi continued: "Exactly, one person counts the short, we have hundreds of people, this plan can't grow endlessly? Besides, there is a real scholar here today, this Mr. Fan is giving advice to the officials." , we are begging Huazi for such a small matter, can it still be called a matter?"

Officer Fan saw that they were going to talk about the inside secrets of the Beggar Clan, so he got up to leave, but Qiao Feng said: "Fan Xianggong is a great benefactor of my Beggar Clan, a good friend, and there are absolutely no secrets in our Beggar Clan that we can share with our friends!" Mr. Fan spends half a day with the heroes of the Beggar Gang, and he deeply feels that the Beggar Gang are all upright men and good men, and he has long been heartbroken.So sit down and listen.

While Qiao Feng was talking with Mr. Fan, Elder Wu drank six bowls of fine wine and ate half a catty of dog meat. The rest of the people shook their heads when they saw it. There was also a jar of 30-year-old Dukang wine in front of him.

Elder Wu tore another chicken leg, then put down the bowl, and said, "I was in a hurry to return the letter, but I haven't eaten or drank for two days." Vice-leader Ma asked anxiously, "But what's the emergency?"

Holding the chicken leg, Elder Wu took a big bite, nodded and said, "This time I met the 'Four Great Evil Men' in Qinzhou." After saying this, the crowd was in an uproar. Elder Song was the leader of the elders, and asked urgently: "Old Wu, please speak slowly."

Elder Wu sighed and said: "It's a long story. I received a letter from the gang that day, so I went to Qinzhou alone to check. I finally found the Xixia spies outside Marshal Yang's mansion."

Elder Chen at the side said angrily: "The thief is so daring! He dared to spy on the generals of the Yang family!" I can't help feeling anxious.

Elder Wu went on to say: "I saw that the Western Xia scouts actually set their minds on Marshal Yang, so I didn't dare to be careless, so I followed them and followed those scouts for five days, and finally figured out the plot of the Xixia scoundrels." At the same time, while everyone was distracted, he reached out to steal Elder Xi's wine bowl, but Elder Song shouted: "Wait a while, let's explain the matter clearly!" , Elder Wu shrank his hands, and continued: "It turns out that the Xixia bandits planned to attack Marshal Yang's mansion and assassinate Marshal Yang."

The law enforcement elder Bai Shijing asked: "The Xixia thieves have hated me for many years and assassinated the Yang family of the Great Song Dynasty many times. Is there any difference this time?" Evil cannot escape its eyes.This question is on everyone's mind.

Elder Wu saw that drinking was not allowed, so he had to say disgruntledly: "That's right, this Xixia Xizuo planted stakes in the Shuai's mansion five years ago. Boys and girls, mixed in the refugee team, entered Qinzhou, and sold themselves into the Marshal's Mansion. At that time, there were seven or eight people in total. In the end, they managed to sneak into the Marshal's Mansion with a secret trick and became a servant in the mansion. In the past five years, This hidden pile has ascertained the terrain of the Marshal's Mansion, recorded Marshal Yang's travel habits, and drew a map. It is ready to be handed over to the masters sent by Yipintang to assassinate."

The heroes of the beggar gang are all people who have fought for half their lives in the rivers and lakes, but they can't help being moved when they hear this.Although Mrs. Ma is weak, she is still worried about Marshal Yang at this time, and asked softly: "It must be the elder Wu of my beggar gang who turned the tide, killed the Xixia thieves, and snatched back the map, right?" After finishing speaking, but seeing Deputy Chief Ma nodded with a smile, Bai Shijing nodded slightly, the other Beggar Clan disciples felt dazzled and couldn't help themselves, only Qiao Feng stared at Elder Wu with piercing eyes, as if he didn't hear it.

Hearing Mrs. Ma's soft-spoken question, Elder Wu couldn't help puffing out his chest, and said, "Hey, at that time, a dozen or so spies from Xixia left the city immediately after getting the map. Sorrow Gorge path, I used to help the Yang family generals deal with Xixia’s iron kite here 20 years ago with the old gang leader Wang, but I am very familiar with this Yingchou Gorge road, so I took a shortcut and rushed to Yingshou Gorge first. The gorge blocked the dozen or so spies in a dangerous place."

When Fan Daguan heard this, he couldn't help saying: "There is a saying in the art of war that 'return to the teacher and don't stop'. Elder Wu blocked the enemy's only way, which is very dangerous."Seeing that the heroes of the Beggar Clan looked indifferent, Qiao Feng bowed his hands to Fan Daguan and said, "So that Mr. Fan will know that my Beggar Clan has been secretly helping Da Song to defend against foreign enemies for many years, and all the elders sitting here have had a knife attack before." When I was in the mountains and wading through the sea of ​​fire, I was just a disciple of my beggar gang, protecting the country and the people, not seeking fame and fortune, but just seeking peace of mind, and I asked Fan Xianggong not to keep secrets for my beggar gang. The whole beggar gang is grateful."

Fan Daguan sighed: "In the face of danger, don't be chaotic, and have great achievements without being arrogant. All the righteous men of the beggar gang are true heroes!"

Elder Wu has never been praised by a scholar like Daguan Fan in his life. Hearing this, he bowed and saluted, and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fan, but I dare not take the credit of others, old Wu. This time I But it was an 80-year-old woman who was holding her child. I thought that I would block the dangerous road and occupy all the advantages of the land, so I would be able to take down the thief in one fell swoop, but who knows that there are quite a few tough claws among the robbers. After fighting for three hours, I was able to kill most of the thieves. Although the rest of the thieves were terrified by me, I didn't dare to attack again, but I was exhausted, if they rushed up, I'm afraid they'd beg me I am going to meet the ancestors of the Beggar Gang, even if they turn around and run away, I may not be able to chase them back."

Speaking of this, Elder Wu sighed. Everyone listened to his words. Although they knew that he would be saved from danger later, they couldn't help being shocked when they thought of the life of their old brother who had been hanging by a thread for many years.Qiao Feng said: "Then is there any friend who came to help Elder Wu? Who is this friend? Please also tell Elder Wu, he is Elder Wu's benefactor, he is also my Qiao Feng's benefactor, and even my beggar gang's benefactor." benefactor."

Elder Wu sighed softly, and said with a weird face: "Well, I have friends, otherwise, my old Wu wouldn't be able to stand here with all my hair and tail, but our friend appeared a little strange." Everyone saw him With a strange face, they all wondered why this friend acted "strangely"?

Elder Wu continued: "When I was confronting the rest of the thieves in Yingchou Gorge, I saw a few people running towards my place from a distance. , it was in front of me in a moment, I took a closer look, and couldn't help crying, ouch, it's really a leak in the house and it rains all night, and they are actually the "four villains"! They rushed all the way and rushed straight at me. Although I didn't I have fought against these four people, but judging from their figure and pace, if I recharge my energy, I can only fight against one of the four villains. Now that I am exhausted, the four of them attack me together. I thought to myself that there is no reason to live, so I can only raise my knife and cut it off, hey, his grandma, if he wants my old Wu's life, he needs to keep your arm!"

Seeing that his words were extremely dangerous, everyone was very worried, and was about to ask, but Elder Wu said: "At that time, I cut a knife, and I really didn't have any strength in my whole body. I was about to close my eyes and wait for death. There was a sound of a sword, and I hurriedly opened my eyes to look. Leader, brothers, Lao Wu, I have been in the world for most of my life, and I have never seen such a scene."
