"Come on, let other book friends read normally: Brother, let's do it!" After a while of clinking glasses, Hu Yifeng picked up some wild vegetables with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth. While chewing, he sighed: "How long has it been since we two brothers drank together? Stop talking.
It has been more than ten years, right? Well, at that time, in the army, the elder brother took care of the younger brother one by one. Even if the younger brother was dismissed by the emperor, only the elder brother stood up to help him.
Your... this kindness, little brother, I will always remember in my heart..."
"After all this, why are you still mentioning it... I didn't expect that it would be Brother Hu... By the way, have you sent someone to inform my house? If Fujin knew that I was kidnapped, he might be in a hurry.
What..." Fei Yanggu frowned, took a sip of wine, shook his head and persuaded: "Brother Hu, the crime of kidnapping an official of the imperial court is a big or small crime. You are also a person who has been here, how can you not know... Why don't you send me to my old age first?
Brother, go back and wait until the matter is settled, so we can find another time to talk about old times?"
"Hey, brother, what are you so anxious about? Don't worry, little brother, I have already sent someone to report to the house. Besides, little brother, I am also acting under orders. I will untie my brother and have a few drinks with him.
It's no big deal, but I want you to send me back now. This... I can't make the decision... Don't worry, I will tell him the truth as soon as the leader comes back. I guarantee you will be fine... Old
I don't think I'm short of time, right? I really can't help it. There are so many people here and outside, but they are all spies..." Hu Yifeng glanced helplessly out of the window and motioned to Fei Yanggu to take a look.
Fei Yanggu also knew that Hu Yifeng was just following orders, so he had to wait for the "alliance leader" the other party called to come back. Book fans also like to read:.
After all, he didn't even know why he was kidnapped here.
"Brother, do you know why your alliance leader kidnapped me here?"
When Hu Yifeng heard this, he scratched his scalp and glanced at Fei Yanggu apologetically. He shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. I only know that he was sent here last night by Hall Master Zuo, who is directly under the alliance leader, saying that it was early this morning.
Someone will be handed over here, and we brothers need to be looked after by a few good people. I really don’t know it will be you, brother. If I knew, I would definitely...definitely..."
What must it be? Hu Yifeng scratched his head. Although he did not want to see his former friend in the army suffer such a tragedy, he could not join Fei Yanggu's stance in words and actions.
After all, the "Martial Arts Alliance" was very kind to his Hu family. If the alliance leader hadn't come to the rescue back then, he, his wife, children and mother would have been buried in the mudslide.
Therefore, there is old grace on one side and new grace on the other. Both sides are benefactors. I can’t offend anyone. Alas, I am in trouble...
"Brother, there is no need to be in such a difficult situation. Brother Yu is just asking. If it's true as brother said, then just wait a little longer. As long as the government gets the news, it's good to know that I'm safe." Fei Yanggu saw something unspeakable when he saw Hu Yifeng.
, no longer pressed him, simply put aside the questions in his mind, and had a drink with him, while chatting about their current situation since the separation.
"I don't know something. When I left the capital with my wife, children and mother, I encountered a rare mudslide and almost died. It was the leader of the alliance who led the brothers of the Shangwu Alliance to save our family of five. Later, he saw
My little brother, I took care of my family and had nowhere to make a living. So I left our whole family in the league. My mother died of illness two years ago. All the brothers in the league helped to bury her. Now, little brother, I am working with Zuo Hall Master, and Zhuo Jing is here.
I help with the chores in the alliance. My son became a disciple of the right hall master and learned martial arts. My younger daughter followed other women in the alliance and sewed clothes and shoes for the brothers to earn some subsidies and live a stable life..."
"Hearing what I said, Brother Yu was very curious. How does this 'Martial Arts Alliance' usually make a living? With so many subordinates, they need clothes all year round and three meals a day!" Fei Yanggu suddenly remembered the events in the world in recent years.
The rumored chivalrous organization that robbed the rich and helped the poor, and then thought about the masked organization that robbed official silver and kidnapped tributes that had caused headaches to the government... suddenly my heart was shocked.
"Since I have already guessed it, I won't explain any more so as not to cause any discomfort to you." Hu Yifeng smiled heartily: "Our Shangwu League is by no means those who pretend to rob the rich and give to the poor, but secretly work to enrich themselves.
Brother, don’t worry about these thieves who do dirty things in their own pockets. Although it is indeed a crime to hijack official banknotes and tributes, there is nothing that can be done about it. If we don’t do this, there is really no way to settle thousands of victims and refugees.
Besides, that was already in the early days. In recent years, we have reclaimed our own fields and barren hills, and grown grain and cotton to be self-sufficient. If there is any surplus, we sell it to the outside world, and the living area for the victims has been somewhat successful...
"
"It is the government's duty to settle the victims. Why didn't you report it to the government and instead acted secretly? If the superiors found out, they would accuse you of 'gathering people together with unreasonable intentions'..."
Although Fei Yanggu asked this question, he probably knew the reason in his heart. It must be that the local officials secretly withheld the disaster funds allocated from above and below. The disaster funds that were actually transferred to the victims must not be much, and they may not even last the time.
Good harvest every year...
Sure enough, when Hu Yifeng heard him ask this question, he smiled sarcastically: "I must know better than my younger brother what the government can do. I think back then, our military generals tried our best to protect the country and stabilize the stability of the Qing Dynasty, but those civil servants didn't.
They enrich their own pockets, take bribes and bend the law... If we rely on them to do practical things for the people, we have to wait!"
Alas, Fei Yanggu sighed secretly.
As a high-ranking military commander in the imperial court, how could he not know how some corrupt officials deal with their affairs? However, if they really wanted to investigate, they would most likely seize a large number of them. The emperor would not act at will until there is no reliable minister to take his place.
Theirs. After all, compared with corruption and bribery, instability of national principles is the emperor's biggest concern.

"Feng Yi, how are you? Is Ama okay?" Jin Xi saw Feng Yi coming back from exploring the road and hurriedly emerged from behind the big tree, asking anxiously.
Feng Yi glanced at Jin Xi with a strange expression and shook his head: "No, the master is safe, and..."
"And what?" Jin Xi couldn't help but feel confused when she saw Feng Yi's strange expression. He pulled her into the bushes and asked her to explain in detail. Book fans also like to read:.
"Not only is the master fine, but now he is having a good chat with the other party..." Feng paused for a moment, then explained in detail: "The master and the other party seem to be old acquaintances..." She briefly mentioned the relationship between Fei Yanggu and Hu Yifeng.
The conversation was described.
After hearing this, Jin Xi was dumbfounded. She looked at Feng Yi blankly and asked weakly: "Then what should we do next? Wait for the alliance leader to come back? Or should we rescue him first?"
Yanggu, she doesn't have to count on herself. No matter how powerful Taekwondo is, it's just a close combat skill. The opponent has bows and arrows and spears. It's really good to be able to protect yourself without holding back Feng Yi.
Feng Yi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Master, since I am safe now, why don't we go back to Fourth Brother to discuss it first? Feng Yi is not sure what the alliance leader did to kidnap me. If there is someone behind the scenes,
A big conspiracy, even if I save the master and go back, such incidents may still happen..."
The fact is that Feng Yi has already received the code signal from Qi Liu. Qi Liu, who came to the rescue earlier than her, for some reason did not take action and waited for the fourth brother's order.
"That's fine..." Jin Xi thought for a moment and nodded, "But what if something happens to Amma right after we leave?"
Just be afraid, as soon as they left, Fei Yanggu was hurt by the other party. So what if the other party was an old friend. They hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, so they might have changed their minds, otherwise he wouldn't have become a kidnapper.
"Master, there is no need to worry. Brother Si has sent Qi Liu to guard here. By the way, Qi Si Qi Wu has also arrived, so there is no need to worry now." Feng Yizheng was talking when he saw a beam of light flashing from the sky.
When he passed away, he knew that help had arrived, and he felt relieved. He was alone with his master who had not yet arrived, and he was really worried. He was afraid that something would happen and his master would be hurt in the slightest, so he would not have to be in the Feng Group.
Mixed up.
"Really? That's good. There is strength in numbers, so let's work together to rescue Ama. The thieves have unknown motives, and Ama is in their hands. Who knows if they will make any excessive demands." Jinxi listened to Fengyi.
After saying this, I thought about it and decided to save people first. Other book friends looked at it normally: If some alliance leader comes back and refuses to let people go, it will make it more difficult...
"Well, then Feng Yi will send a signal to Qi Si and the other three teams." Feng nodded and was about to blow the whistle, but was stopped by a figure.
"You two are desperate!" The person who came was none other than Yinzhen, and the one who covered Feng Yi's mouth was his personal guard Qi Yi. His skills were naturally more than one or two levels higher than Feng Yi's. He walked to his side.
Haven't noticed yet.
"Yin Zhen? Why are you here too?" Jin Xi was surprised and happy when she saw him.
"If I hadn't come, would you two have been able to return to the house today?" Yinzhen glared at her angrily, "Do you know who kidnapped your mother? How many troops do you have?"
How sure are you? You don’t know anything, so you came here alone with Feng Yi. Do you think you have a copper head and an iron arm? Even Qi Liu knows that hiding is not a good idea. It’s better for you two. You still want to respond to everything.
Rush in and save people? Do you know how many mechanisms are hidden in that abandoned house? Don’t say you can’t save people once you get in, I’m afraid even you will be caught and used as a hostage.”
A series of questions made Jinxi blush. At the end, she curled her lips aggrievedly, "Aren't I worried? You don't know, when E Niang heard about Ama's accident, she fainted from anxiety. Besides, there's no need to worry.
How many teams of subordinates do you have? There is strength in numbers..."
When Yinzhen heard this, he glanced at her again angrily: "There are only three teams with a total of thirty people, plus the two of you, how many people are there? There are hundreds of people in the left hall of Shangwu League. Can't you see?
Just because they arrive doesn’t mean they don’t exist!”
"Hundreds of numbers? Ambush?" Jin Xi blinked and glanced at Feng Yi apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was reckless and almost dragged you down..."
Feng Yi shook his head, "My subordinates only rely on their master's orders, whether they live or die."
Hearing this, Jinxi stiffened slightly, "Good guy, you have known the background of Shangwu Alliance before? Then why do you let me give orders for you to go in and die? Is this just your own order?"
What a big fool! Jin Xi thought feebly, until now he accepted Feng Yi from the bottom of his heart. (To be continued)
