Yi Song

Chapter 35: Gangsters learn the art of war

The Yuxian Building was crowded with people. Zuo Qianshou and his capable men stood by the gate, watching the people coming and going warily.

Dozens of elite Wuyou Gang thugs were standing around the restaurant, with short sticks hidden in their waists, ready to be fired at any time.

When they saw a suspicious person, four people immediately stepped forward, two of them stood in the front with smiling faces and asked questions, and the other two stood behind to provide support at any time.

There is no other way. The guests who come to Yuxian Tower are either rich or noble. They are not ordinary people and they dare not offend them rashly.

"Dong-dong-dong!" The sound of drums came from the Drum Tower in the distance, and it sounded for eighteen times and then stopped.

After waiting for a while, the sound of the clock was heard in the distance, "Boom!—Boom!"

One fast and one slow, three times in a row.

It's the first watch of the night, which is when Yuxian Tower is at its most prosperous. The boatmen on the Bianhe River wait until the watch has settled down and start setting off the first round of fireworks.

Bang-whoosh! Wow-bang!

Streams of fire soared into the sky, piercing the night sky of Bianjing City, and then suddenly exploded above people's heads, and bright and dazzling fireworks bloomed in the darkness.

What a beautiful thing!
  Zuo Qianshou couldn't help but look up with everyone. Colorful colors flashed in his eyes, like the slowly flowing Bian River.

Why are beautiful things always so short-lived?

"Ah!" Suddenly, an earth-shattering shout was heard from the second floor. Tables and chairs were hit, dishes and porcelain plates were thrown to the ground, and there was a chaotic banging sound.

"No! Something happened!"

Zuo Qianshou immediately retracted his thoughts, waved his hand, and rushed into the Yuxian Tower hall with four of his confidants.

From the stairwell, a group of people ran down in a panic.

"What happened?" Zuo Qianshou grabbed a Huo family member and asked.

"Who?" Huo Jia was so frightened that his tongue curled up.

Zuo Qianshou pushed him away and squeezed forward against the flow of people.

I rushed to the second floor and saw the guests were so scared that they clung to the surrounding walls, crowded towards the stairs in panic, and ran downstairs and upstairs. There was a large space next to the window, and there were two people lying on the ground. One was so scared that he fainted, and the other was trembling all over and babbling non-stop.

The two people were covered with snakes of various colors, hissing and sticking out their tongues, either entrenched or swimming away. There were also two people who raised their necks and looked around with deathly white eyes.

"Where did the snake come from?"

Zuo Qianshou asked.

"Yes. Someone threw them from downstairs when the fireworks were set off just now." A more courageous Huo family member said tremblingly.

"First floor." Zuo Qianshou immediately turned around and said, "Go down."

As soon as he reached the stairs, he turned around and pointed at several Huo family members and said, "Hurry up and catch all the snakes in."

"We dare not!"

"The snakes' teeth have all been pulled out, so what are you afraid of? Before these snakes are caught in a quarter of an hour, I will stuff you and those snakes into a bag."

After Zuo Qianshou finished speaking, he hurried downstairs and ran towards the door.

Still two feet away, I heard an exclamation from the gate.

"Here we go again!" Zuo Qianshou pulled out the stick from behind his waist, "It's endless, isn't it? I have to make you look good this time!"

There was already a crowd at the door, the lights were swaying, and the figures were looking longingly.

After pushing through the crowd, Zuo Qianshou pounced at the black shadow that was rushing toward him. Before he could get close, a stench hit his face.

I knew in my heart that it was not good, but I was already old and unable to change my tactics, so I could only bite the bullet and give the black shadow a hard blow.

With a bang, the short stick hit a bucket, causing water to rise into the sky and splashing all over his face. Especially the soup on his face flowed down his cheeks and into his mouth.

Dung truck!

Zuo Qianshou screamed and even vomited out his breakfast.

Yue Fei ran all the way to the designated alley, dug out a package of things in an inconspicuous dark place, and inside was a set of clothes. Without saying a word, he quickly changed into it, then wrapped the smelly clothes into a ball and threw them away. to the Bianhe River not far away.

Liu Guozhang walked slowly from the darkness.

"Brother, our two moves like this just disgusted them and couldn't even hurt their fur."

"Brother Fei, what we call provocation is to let them know that we are going to attack Yuxianlou."

"Provocation? What's the use?"

"Attack it and you will save it, then surround it and bring reinforcements!"

"Brother actually used the art of war!" Yue Fei said in surprise, "If you attack it, you will save it? Yes, this Yuxian Tower is Gao Qiu's cornucopia and money tree. If he is injured a little, Gao Qiu will call Fan Sitong good-looking. So if something happens here, , the Wuyou Gang will definitely mobilize people from all over."

"That's right, the Wuyou Gang family has a big business. It has restaurants, gambling houses, brothels, warehouses, warehouses, shipping companies, ship shops, slaughterhouses, there are thirty or forty of them, and they are all good businesses to make money. He understands that I It's dark, I don't know where I will go to find bad luck for it, so I can only set up defenses everywhere.

If there are defenses everywhere, there will be no defenses everywhere.

They also know that there are only two of us and we are short of manpower, so we can only attack one place. Now that we have taken action against Yuxian Tower, they also have a target, so they will naturally gather manpower. ” ˆ ˆ “If you are fortified everywhere, you will be defenseless everywhere? Yue Fei was thoughtful and asked after a while, "Brother, if we were in the situation of the Wuyou Gang, how should we deal with it?" "

"If we only have three or five weaknesses, we can set up a defensive line to guard them, or even set up traps to lure people into an ambush. But like the Wuyou Gang, there are too many weaknesses to guard against, so active defense is meaningless. It's better. Take the initiative to attack and attack us to save us."

Yue Fei was very puzzled, "Brother, is there anything we need to save?"

"There are only two of us, like fish in the sea among the millions of people in Kaifeng City. We have no family, no property, and almost no weaknesses. Where can we save?"

"Yes."

"But Brother Fei, don't forget. Brother Zhengdao from the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Zhang Deyuan, a tribute scholar from Hanzhou, the two dead ghosts from the Military Inspectorate know about their relationship with us. If they know, it's like the Wuyou Gang is also aware of their relationship with us. knew."

"How dare Wuyou Gangan be so mean to harm his family and friends!"

"The battle between the two armies is a matter of life and death for thousands of people, and it also involves the safety of the country. Compassion does not govern the military, and benevolence does not govern politics. Being kind to the enemy is cruelty to one's own people!" After Liu Guozhang finished speaking, he pulled out a stick.

"Okay, let's get ready to fight. This time, we won't kill, we will only hurt."

"Hurt someone?"

"Yes. Under the current circumstances, killing people may make the Wuyou Gang share the same hatred and build up morale. We only hurt people, not their lives. Seeing relatives and friends wailing and screaming, let's see how they share the same hatred and build up morale. !”

Yue Fei swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Liu Guozhang blankly.

"Brother Erlang, have you ever been on the battlefield and fought a bloody battle between two armies?"

Liu Guozhang shrugged, "I have lost my memory and can't remember anything."

Zuo Qianshou went to the backyard of Yuxian Tower to wash up, changed his clothes, and walked back to the front door with a pale face.

"how is the situation?"

"There were people moving around everywhere. We arrested seven people and beat them all. They were all idlers on the street and hungry people who sneaked in. After getting a few coins from others, they took the risk and stole things. Provoke and cause trouble."

"Did Liu Erlang bribe them?"

"I don't know. They only saw the man standing in the dark and couldn't see his face clearly. Hall Master, we got wind. Many party thieves and party thieves came quietly and wandered around the outside of Yuxian Tower, waiting for opportunities. Committing a crime.”

"Dare!" Zuo Qianshou opened his eyes, "Who doesn't know that Yuxian Tower is the dojo of our Wuyou Gang? Who dares to snatch food from a tiger's mouth!"

"The hall master is not from the inner and outer cities of Tokyo. He said he came from Nanjing and Xijing."

"Xijing, Nanjing?" Zuo Qianshou's face was solemn, "Someone is secretly stirring up trouble and trying to fish in troubled waters! Who is so brave?"

"Hall Master! Hall Master!" Someone shouted.

"what's up?"

"The people from Guangji Hall received the letter and rushed from Mian Yuan Street to support them, but they were ambushed and captured. There were eleven brothers in total."

"How many died?" Zuo Qianshou asked in surprise.

"No one was dead, they were all injured. Five injured their limbs, and six injured their right hands and feet. They were so vicious that their bones were broken."

"So ruthless! Liu Erlang, you are the most f*cking gangster in the world!"

Waves of screams came along with the wind, and the expressions of the surrounding Wuyou gang members changed.

Bad news came one after another. When Huanxi Hall came from Junyiqiao Street, Wanfa Hall came from Sangjia Wazi, Wuji Hall came from Zhou Xiwazi, and Liangyi Hall came from Mahang Street to receive reinforcements, they were all ambushed on the way.

There were as few as four or five, as many as twelve or three people. None of them died. All of them had their hands and feet broken. They were carried back by their companions or hired cars. More than thirty people were lying in the backyard of Yuxian Tower, wailing miserably. The loud noise caused serious dissatisfaction among the guests dining upstairs.

Zuo Qianshou realizes that he has been tricked.

Such treatment not only damaged our own morale, but also ruined the reputation of Yuxian Tower, so we quickly ordered people to transport all the injured away.

Damn, the gangster knows the art of war, who can stand it!
  Finally, Zuo Qianshou, who was very tired, received good news.

"Master, there was a gambler in Maiji Lane on Xingzixing Street. He saw two figures walking out and then coming back. It's very suspicious."

"Xingzi Street?"

"It's across the river from our Yuxian Tower!"

"What a thief! How brave he is, how dare you hide under our noses." Zuo Qianshou secretly said, "The people in Yuxian Tower remain unchanged, and asked the right team of spearmen to gather at Junyiqiao Street, and the left team of archers to gather at Junyiqiao Street. We gathered at the intersection of Yujie and Xingzihang Streets. The right hand-knife team gathered at the back gate of Dutingyi. The left hand-knife team and the long-gun left team followed me.

Then I prepared the boats, and after the three-sided encirclement was in place, I took the people directly across the river by boat, went ashore at Xingzi Street, and headed straight for Maiji Alley. Tonight, we are going to catch a turtle in a jar! "

"Yes!"

Zuo Qianshou quietly landed on Xingzixing Street with his sword and spear, and slowly moved towards Maiji Lane using the cover of trees and shops along the river.

At the entrance of the alley, Zuo Qianshou cautiously stuck his head out and saw two figures wandering in a corner of the alley.

I'm secretly happy!

He turned around, made a gesture to his men, took the hand-held weapon handed over by his entourage, a Mazha knife, weighed it, held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and curled the knife , shouted loudly: "Kill!"
