Chapter 416 419
After Mei Niangzi left, Shen Mu asked, "Who are Master Qiu and Master Shu?"

The mule Taoist said: "It's Qiu Nanshan, who is on patrol, and Shu Dingtai, the second leader of the Anle Gang. Both of them are poor and unhappy people. Why should these people seek justice for my chess friends?"

Shen Mu knew that Taoist Mule was a close friend of Lu Ping, the slain leader of the Anle Gang, and he couldn't help feeling a lot better.

The mule Taoist put away his cynical and playful expression, drank a cup of bitter wine and sighed: "What kind of gang is not called, but it is called the Anle Gang. People can only be happy when they die. I can't think of a word that will become a prophecy. Forget it, no matter how violent the death is." Or die at the end of life, it's all death."

Seeing his true feelings revealed, Shen Mu took the opportunity to ask: "Who are the people outside, what big things can a mess of sand do?"

Taoist Mule looked him up and down as if he had come to his senses, and said with a smile, "Are you nosy, or do you have other motives?"

Shen Mu's eyes flashed brightly, then disappeared in a flash, and said indifferently, "Is this a nonsense?"

The mule Taoist's shock has not completely disappeared. What shocked him was the incomparably pure mysterious light in Shen Mu's eyes, and what was even more shocking was his ability to suppress the divine light and hide it without revealing it.It took a long time for the mule Taoist to come back to his senses, and said in a low voice, "Who are you?"

After the guys brought the mutton buns, they all slipped away, and there were only the two of them left in the empty dining hall. Shen Mu pulled back the knee-length sheepskin coat, revealing the long sword hidden in the right hem, and said: "Who do you think I am?"

The mule Taoist said in shock: "Is this a treasured sword and long sword that looks inconspicuous on the surface?"

Shen Mu nodded and said, "The Taoist priest has good eyesight."

The mule Taoist calmed down, let out a long breath and said: "No wonder you don't pay attention to the outsiders at all. It turns out that Shen Mu and Xu Ziling, who are famous all over the world, came in person. They couldn't see your knife, so they lied to you." Pass."

Shen Mu said, "Can we cooperate sincerely?"

Mule Taoist nodded and said: "With your help, of course it is another matter. There are four groups of people outside, from the Beima Gang, the Wailian Gang, the Xianxia Cave and the Man Gang. The most decent one is the Xianxia Cave Master Chen. And the proud male and female apprentices Lu Shiqing and Lang Tingting sent by him. Xianxia Cave is a decent sect second only to the Changbai Sect in the Northeast. One of Brother Lu's murdered sons worshiped under Chen He's sect, so although Chen He doesn't like to be involved in disputes between the rivers and lakes , this matter still cannot be ignored.”

Shen Mu said, "Is Qing Gu a member of the Wailian Gang?"

The Wailian gang is one of the three gangs in the wild, so Shen Mu is of course more careful.

The mule Taoist replied: "My name is Su Qing. She is nicknamed 'Evil Soul'. She is a woman who is the leader of the Wailian Gang, Gonglang. So although her martial arts are not very good, she can sit on the position of the leader of the Wai San Tang Feng Tang. As for the Man Gang, they also have a lot of background. The leader of the gang, Uncle Bei, is Gao Kaidao's sworn brother. Gao Kaidao has gained power, and they are rising. They hope to overtake the Beiba Gang and become the largest gang in the wild. This time, the leader of the Young Gang is the leader. Bei Chenfen, this person has a gloomy nature, he didn't speak a word just now, he only indulged his subordinates to mess around, so he didn't attract the young commander's attention."

Shen Mu was about to inquire deeply about the Anle tragedy, when suddenly there was a dense sound of weapons clashing outside, as well as shouts and cheers that fueled the flames.

Shen Mu stretched his waist and said, "It's starting to fight, the people from the Northern Caravan have a lot of patience."

Shen Mu and mule Taoist stepped out of the earthen building, and Ren Jun actually fought with seven or eight big men from the Man Gang, not the Northern Caravan who was bent on taking the horse.One of the gangsters sat down by the pool, bleeding profusely from his shoulder, and was being nursed and healed by his companions.You don't need to guess, you know that one of the Man Gang challenged Ren Jun first, and after losing and getting injured, the others saw Ren Jun's skillful swordsmanship, disregarding the rules of the world, and attacked him together.

Lu Shiqing of Xianxia Cave stood up, apparently out of righteous indignation, and wanted to intervene.

Ren Jun fought and retreated, his left arm was stained with blood, because the opponent had a large number of people, he was at a disadvantage.

Both the Wailian Gang and the Beima Gang cheered for the Man Gang members, as if they were afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

Shen Mu glanced over a group of men from the Man Gang who were screaming hoarsely for his accomplices, among them was a young man in his twenties with a pale face, who was looking at him calmly, thinking that this must be from the Man Gang Bei Chenfen, the leader of the young gang.

Su Qing and Master Hua looked at him, Shen Mu smiled back and shouted, "Back three inches."

Ren Jungang was scratched with a bloodstain on his left back, and he was restless. Hearing the words, he immediately lifted his spirits, and he believed in Shen Mu's words. Move back a little three inches.The blade cut down in front of the tip of his nose, and it was this slight difference that saved him from danger. The others all misunderstood his retreat, and the sword attacked in the air.With a flash of Ren Jun's saber, blood splashed on the chest and flanks of the saber's hand who was slicing into the air, and he fell in response to the saber.

Shen Mu yelled again: "No cloud, no rain, thousands of miles are empty, turn left."

Including Lu Shiqing's brother and sister, Su Qing, Shi Yehua, Bei Chenfen and others all showed expressions of shock.

The brilliance of Ren Jun's martial arts, his ability to fight seven opponents undefeated, has surpassed their expectations. At this time, as long as he is not deaf or blind, he knows that Shen Mu is an even more powerful master.

Ren Jun was obedient, turned to the left and escaped from the encircling net.

His heart completely calmed down, the strict training of Shen Mu and Xu Ziling along the way showed miraculous effects, he felt strong self-confidence, and seemed to be able to see through every intention and change of the enemy.

The Man Gang's spirits were exhausted, and they didn't know whether to chase after them and continue to attack, or to stay where they were in a daze.

Bei Chen suddenly stood up and said, "Stop."

Shen Mu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Stop as soon as you say? Xiaojun, kill them all for me."

Ren Jun was about to pounce on the enemy, when a voice came from the gate: "Who is so arrogant and aggressive?"

Shen Mu looked towards the gate, wondering if Xu Kaishan had come.

Two people rode into the only main gate of the circular parapet. The speaker was about 35 or [-] years old. He was gentle, with a smile on his white and thin face. Although he condemned, he still spoke calmly and slowly.On the surface, he seems to be a frail scholar, but Shen Mu can see from his shining eyes that he is a first-class master, and he has a resolute and stubborn personality, and will not easily shake his will and belief because of others.

The other was one to six years older. His hair and eyebrows were as thick as wire, and he had a short beard that looked like a brush. He had a sharp outline and gloomy eyes. He was a middle-aged man with masculine charm.The most striking thing is that he wears a white scarf with the word "sacrifice" on his forehead, making Shen Mu guess that he is Shu Dingtai, who sits in the second place in the Anle Gang, and he wants to express his position and determination to avenge Lu Ping.

The other person was, of course, Qiu Nanshan, appointed by Gao Kaidao as the chief inspector. No one would have thought that he would be such a number one person.

Sure enough, all the people present stood up one after another, cupped their fists and saluted, "President Qiu, Second Chief Shu." Qiu Nanshan is finally the official representative of this area, no matter how unruly the local gangs are, they still have to give him face.

Qiu Nanshan's eyes fell on Ren Jun first, and then shot at Shen Mu who was standing on the steps. Gao Ju immediately said indifferently: "Is this Gao's name?"

The mule Taoist laughed and said: "Hello, old man, these two are Fu Xiong, Ren Jun, and another Fu Jie and his party. They passed by here to Shanhaiguan, because they refused to sell their horses to the Northern Caravan. Brothers, if you offend the public, the big brothers from the Man Gang will take action to teach you a lesson on your behalf. The old man came just in time, so he can judge this matter."

The two groups of Man Gang and Beima Gang showed anger at the same time, but Monet didn't know what to do for a while.

The master said in a sad tone: "Does Taoist Mule dare to guarantee that they are all right? I pretended to buy horses, just to test their identities."

Su Qingjiao smiled and said: "Master Xiang's morality is getting more and more profound! If you didn't explain it yourself, the servants still don't know that your horse purchase is fake, and the temptation is true."

Master Hua was at a loss for words, unexpectedly, Su Qing blatantly spoke for "outsiders".

Qiu Nanshan understood, but he still didn't let Shen Mu and Ren Jun go, and said slowly: "What's your business in Shanhaiguan?"

Shen Mu smiled calmly, and said: "My lord clearly understands that the three of us went to Shanhaiguan to discuss business with others. Since it involves trade secrets, if my lord wants to know the details, can I take a step to speak? Report the truth in detail and never dare to hide anything.”

These words can be said to give Zuqiu Nanshan face, without being overbearing or humble, Qiu Nanshan's face thawed, he nodded slightly and said: "I will talk to Brother Fu in detail later."

Shu Dingtai, the second head of the Anle Gang behind him on the left, said in a low voice: "Brother Ren is very skilled in martial arts, I wonder if he is an excellent disciple of what family or sect?"

Ren Jun said frankly: "My teacher is Guan Changjiu of 'Yulin Broadsword'."

Shu Dingtai had obviously never heard of Guan Zhang's name, so he couldn't ask any more questions, so he said: "Sure enough, a famous teacher produces a good apprentice."

Qiu Nanshan finally got off his horse, Shu Dingtai followed, and his own postman came to wait on the horse.

Qiu Nanshan said: "Master Xu has urgent matters at the moment, so he won't arrive until tomorrow morning."

Everyone booed for a while, all of them were dissatisfied and complained.Only Shi Yehua and the two dared not make a sound.

Lu Shiqing looked at the sky, the dark clouds in the evening sky were moving quickly, and asked, "Why did the leader Xu postpone the talk?"

Shu Dingtai replied: "Master Xu sent people to summon people, saying that it was related to the case, and he would come tomorrow morning."

The crowd booed again.

"Boom!" The lightning split the dark clouds, and thunder rang above the head, and then the raindrops became thicker and denser.

The heavy rain that had been brewing for a long time finally came to the land.The situation was chaotic all of a sudden, people either went into the main building to shelter from the rain, or drove their horses into the corridor covered with a tiled roof, those who wanted to go had to give up their thoughts.

When the mule Taoist placed his mule next to Qianlimeng and them, the heavy rain poured down, and the darkness made the night come earlier.

Until everyone avoided the dining hall, Qiu Nanshan and Shu Dingtai were hospitablely entertained by the charming lady wearing flowers and butterflies.

The three of Xu Ziling monopolized the table in a corner away from the others, with a relaxed look.Shen Mu and Ren Jun, who were half wet, sat down beside him, and the former asked, "Where's the weirdo?"

Xu Ziling said: "There is a stone pavilion outside, he should take shelter from the rain there, this person is withdrawn and cynical, but he does not seem to be an evil person, I don't know why he has doubts about Xu Kaishan, this time I am afraid it is aimed at Xu Kaishan."

Shen Mu turned his head and glanced, and all the gang members chose another corner to sit down at two tables. The men from the Wailian Gang and the Man Gang each occupied a table; At the beginning of the morning, Su Qing, the leader of the Phoenix Hall of the Wailian Gang, Mu Taoist, Qiu Nanshan, the chief inspector, and Shu Dingtai, the second head of the Anle Gang, sat around a table and discussed closely.

The two underlings of Shi Yehua squeezed into the tables of the Man Gang gang, which shows that the Northern Caravan and the Man Gang have the same nostrils.

It was raining heavily outside, and Mei Niangzi was at the gate directing the staff to put away the fodder and other things in the rain, close the windows, and keep busy.

After Xu Ziling explained the conversation with Yin Xianhe, he said: "This stone cottage is high on the hillside. Both the square and the main building have only one entrance, and the windows are narrow. Although it has a defensive advantage, if given People block the entrance, but no one can escape, Xu Kaishan chooses to hold a meeting here, does he have some other purpose and evil intentions?"

Shen Mu said in a low voice: "If you want to cooperate with the outside world, Man Gang and Shi Yehua can do it. But how to explain to people afterwards that the reason why Xu Kaishan claimed to delay coming until tomorrow morning is because it is possible to find clues to Cui Wang. "

At this moment, "Master Butterfly" Yin Xianhe appeared at the back door with his bamboo hat wet on his head like a ghost, glanced at everyone expressionlessly with indifferent eyes, and then sat down in a corner silently.

Qiu Nanshan and others suddenly saw that he stopped talking, and the atmosphere became more solemn, revealing hostility and suspicion.

After finishing their work, Mei Niangzi and a few waiters came back to close the door of the dining hall, and lit more than a dozen spring lanterns on the four walls. The violent rain and thunder sounded, as if they were isolated in another world.When the four fireplaces are lit, the hall is even more warm and comfortable.

Shu Dingtai summoned Miss Mei, and after whispering to each other, Miss Mei announced in a charming manner: "Shu Er will be in charge of the dinner tonight. Brothers, don't go prepare the dishes, but greet all the distinguished guests with wine."

The guys responded immediately and went about their business.

Mei Niangzi sat down on the chair beside Lu Shiqing, Lang Tingting immediately frowned, but like Lu Shiqing, she couldn't do anything about her.

Qiu Nanshan's voice sounded, "I don't know why Brother Yin came here?"

Yin Xianhe didn't buy into him at all, and said coldly, "Can't I come?"

Master turned dry and said with a smile: "The so-called not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, if we suspect that Brother Yin is inquiring about news for Cui Wang, but the truth is that Brother Yin just wants to come here to enjoy the taste of the rain, and everyone will have unnecessary misunderstandings, then we will go to the Three Treasures Hall." It’s not worth it.” Not only did this person’s tone of voice and tone be annoying, but he also had an attitude of fueling the flames, fanning the flames, and fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

Yin Xianhe remained calm and said, "I just want to come here to get caught in the rain."

Just at this time, the buddy served some wine to dilute the tense atmosphere.Mei Niangzi flew around the field, pouring wine for everyone herself, but she didn't dare to provoke Yin Xianhe.

The food and wine went on stage, except Yin Xianhe did not drink food and wine, everyone ate and drank.

Mule Taoist came to Shen Mu and sat down at the table with the three of them, had two drinks with the three of them, and said in a low voice, "What do you two think about the Anle tragedy?"

All the people in the other room were drinking and talking about the romantic affairs of the Northeast Wulin, coupled with the sloppy laughter from Mei Niangzi from time to time, the atmosphere was so warm that it was hard to think that they gathered for the An Le tragedy.

Shen Mu replied: "We guess that Master Lu was murdered because of the personal or material evidence that could reveal Cui Wang's true identity. The Taoist priest knows where he has been and who he has seen before he was killed. .”

The mule Taoist nodded and said: "You and Pindao have the same ideas, because Brother Lu has been trying his best to track down the wolf robbers in recent months. Before he died, he had gone to Shanhaiguan, but according to Shu Dingtai who accompanied him , nothing special happened, they were going to meet a group of Hu merchants who had been looted by Cui Wang, but they were all in vain, and the Hu merchants left early to close."

Xu Ziling said: "What kind of person is Shu Dingtai?"

Taoist mule said in astonishment, "He's not that courageous, is he?"

Shen Mu said: "Didn't the priest say he doesn't like him?"

Taoist Mule's expression became serious, and he said: "I don't like him because brother Lu once told me in private that Shu Dingtai and Du Xing had a close relationship, and he refused to listen to repeated persuasion."

Shen Mu patted the table and said: "I dare to guarantee that Cui Wang is a fictional character created by Du Xing."

The mule Taoist showed a shocked expression, and said: "Brother Kou, what is the basis for this statement, Du Xing is the Taishan Beidou of the Northeast Wulin, everyone only looks after him, and he has the support of the Turks and Khitans, it is not a joke to provoke him. "

Shen Mu was about to speak, when suddenly someone said in a trembling voice: "My head is very dizzy."

Shen Mu and the others looked in amazement, only to see one of the buddies carrying the wine jar sway unsteadily, and then fell to the ground with the jar.

"Bang!" The wine jar shattered and the wine spilled all over the place.

Mei Niangzi and several other fellows fell down one after another, and there was a sudden silence in the hall, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, raised their breath secretly, and inspected the situation in their bodies.However, there is still no panic, all qi practitioners have the ability to resist and expel poison, so they don't worry too much because of this.

Qiu Nanshan was the first to change his expression and shouted, "I've been poisoned."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling looked at Mu Taoist and Ren Jun, and found that their faces had become very ugly, knowing that they had also been tricked, they were horrified, what kind of poison is so powerful.Everyone in the other side screamed and cursed, apparently no one was spared, the situation was in a panic.

Qiu Nanshan stood up and shouted: "The wine and vegetables are poisonous, don't panic."

Lu Shiqing, who had closed his eyes, opened his handsome eyes suddenly, and said in fear: "This poison is very destructive, so I can't gather my true energy to force the poison out."

Ren Jun whispered to Shen Mu and Xu Ziling, "I can't gather my true energy either."

Shu Ding stood up abruptly, pointed at Yin Xianhe who was sitting alone in a corner, and shouted sharply: "You are the only one who has never been exposed to wine or vegetables, and it's not your fault. Quickly take out the antidote."

Yin Xianhe's face remained motionless, and he said nonchalantly, "If I did the poison, I will slap your mouth first, and then tear you all to pieces."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were really taken aback, Shu Yin Xianhe's kung fu is the most superb in the hall, if even he can't raise his energy to drive away the poison, the poison is so powerful that it has reached a shocking level!

Suddenly Shu Dingtai's body shook violently, and he fell back into the chair.

Qiu Nanshan sat down slowly, showing a deeper skill than Shu Dingtai, but the frightening fact that sitting up is also a problem is even more shocking.

The gangsters who were originally arrogant and arrogant, everyone is like a defeated rooster, and their faces are ashen.

No one knows the fate that will follow.

The handsome man said in a trembling voice: "The wine and vegetables are not poisonous, I just tried it with silver needles."

Everyone turned their attention to Shen Mu and the others. Since Yin Xianhe was also tricked, Shen Mu was the most suspicious of the three.
