The old master was sitting on the kang in the main room smoking, and Hei Wa rushed in with a dagger. The old master smiled at him: "Is this how you entertain guests? Did I come here by mistake?"
Ma Xingkong led everyone in, and everyone had a dick in their hand. They were all stunned when they saw the old master. Shitou shouted: "You old man, you scared us!" He threw half a brick in his hand.
, go and pour water for the old master.
Speaking of Wang Tianzong's recruitment, the old master sighed: "I have also advised you. If the boss doesn't listen, what else can you do? Now Woniu Mountain has completely lost its reputation!"
"Brother, why don't we go back to Woniu Mountain?" Hei Wa suddenly said.
"Yes! This is a good idea!" Shitou immediately responded: "With the reputation of brothers, those brothers who left may come back. Wang Tianzong left the ready-made ones and we can use them?"
Ma Xingkong shook his head: "I won't go back!"
"Why?"
Liu Wudao: "If we go back now, others will think that we drove away Wang Tianzong, and they will want to do the same to us as Wang Tianzong. Just a few of us and a few guns were smashed into a kiln before we could accomplish anything!"
The old master glanced at Liu Wu and felt that he looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that it was Liu Bapi's housekeeper and smiled slightly at him: "This brother is right. It is true that you can't go back. Even if you want to go back, you have to wait for the master to do it."
There’s something to be said for going back and forth when something happens!”
"What does he mean by taking the helm? Shangguan Qing will soon ask the boss to attack other mountains?" Ma Xingkong asked.
The old master nodded: "This is what Shangguan Qing wants. The master will definitely not refuse when he first comes to Hunhe. This first battle will definitely be at Black Dragon Ridge!"
"Black Dragon Ridge?"
"Yes, it's Heilong Ridge!" The old master knocked off the ash from his pipe and said, "Our boss and Heilong have had a feud for a long time. Fatty Liu also took somersaults in Heilong Ridge. Heilong Ridge is the best place to fight in Hunhe River.
Based on these three points, I can definitely conclude that it must be Black Dragon Ridge!"
Shitou smacked his lips: "Then let's quickly notify Black Dragon and let them take precautions?"
"It's too late! When I went down the mountain yesterday, I met some brothers. They were going to Black Dragon Ridge to 'step on the plate'. The boss will be going up the mountain as soon as tomorrow!" said the old master.
"So fast?" Ma Xingkong was a little surprised.
Hei Wa said: "The hatred between the big master and Heilong cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, so we should find a way quickly! With the big master's familiarity with Heilongling, and the assistance of the officers and soldiers, Heilong will definitely not be able to stop him.
live!"
"I have a way! It's just..." As soon as Liu Wu spoke, he stopped talking. Everyone looked at him, and Ma Xingkong said: "When is this, tell me quickly!"
"If we want to save the Black Dragon, we can only find a way from the county seat!"
"Hahaha..." The old master laughed loudly: "What a plan, what a plan! The Chinese New Year is coming soon. As long as the Hun River is in chaos, Shangguanqing will definitely not send people to attack Black Dragon Ridge. It is indeed a good plan!"
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?" Shitou patted his head: "Is this what the guy in the opera is called?"
"Surround Wei and save Zhao!"
"Yes, yes! Encircle Wei and save Zhao." Shitou said more and more enthusiastically: "Now the merchants are preparing for the Lantern Festival lantern festival. As long as we set a fire, the whole city will burn down. Let's see if Shangguanqing still has the heart to attack Heilongling.
?”
Ma Xingkong and others discussed and decided that Ma Xingkong, Hei Wa, Shitou and Liu Wu would start setting fires from the four streets of Hunhe River and burn them to the center. The night was very cold, and the northwest wind felt like knives on the face.
Same. Ma Xingkong raised the collar of his coat to protect his face.
It was already under curfew at night, and there was no one on the dark streets. A group of officers and soldiers carrying guns came out of a small alley laughing and laughing. This alley is very famous in Hunhe. It used to be a place where calligraphy and paintings were bought and sold, and its name was Mounting.
Craftsman Hutong. Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, military men were in charge, and the literati had lost their power. Mounting Carpenter Hutong soon became a gathering place for leather and meat business, and Mounting Cartridge Hutong was renamed ** Hutong.
These officers and soldiers drank a lot and walked unsteadily. Ma Xingkong hurriedly dodged and hid in the shadows. Looking at the flickering red masks in front of him, he rang out. If Wu Xiaoren
If she was really killed by herself, Cui'er would have only one fate, and she could only move into Decorator's Alley.
Holding a torch in one hand, Ma Xingkong ducked into the Tinker's Alley. Business in these places was booming, and colored lanterns had already been set up in front of the door. In order to outshine others and let more people know about themselves, every "leather and meat shop"
"They all intentionally make huge lanterns. Some of the shapes are actually for men and women, which makes people look a little disgusting.
Starting from the innermost part, Ma Xingkong lit the match, lit the torch, and quickly lit the lantern of a man and a woman beside him. The fire followed the wind and kept rising, and soon the entire lantern was burning. Ma Xingkong
As he ran outside, he lit all the lanterns on both sides with his arms left and right.
Hunhe City was on fire all around, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. First there were lanterns, and then nearby houses. The sleeping people were awakened by the shouts of their neighbors, and the raging fire outside the window illuminated the Hunhe River. The "chirp" whistle sounded,
Leading the way, pairs of soldiers ran through the streets.
Shangguanqing stood at the gate of the county government in his clothes, watching the fire all over the city and helpless. Qiao Da ran over in a hurry, and Shangguanqing shouted: "Hurry up and find someone to put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
The fire was too strong and there was no way to save it. The most severely damaged were the shops facing the street. The bigger the lanterns, the more severe the burns. Ma Xingkong lit the last lantern and hid in a shadow.
There was a lot of excitement inside. Shitou, Heiwa and Liu Wu soon arrived.
"Who! Come out!" As soon as the four people showed their heads from the corner, they were discovered by a group of soldiers patrolling the street: "If you don't come out, I will shoot!"
As soon as Liu Wu pulled the stone, the four people ran into the alley instead of going out. The officers and soldiers quickly surrounded them, but when they couldn't find anyone, they hurriedly chased in. Gunshots rang out behind them, and they were shot all around them.
On the wall, the flying clods of soil hit their bodies, which was still very painful.
"Follow me! Hurry!" Ma Xingkong shouted, and the others kept running without looking back.
"Oops!" Heiwa suddenly shouted: "Damn it, my calf was bitten! Go away quickly and leave me alone!"
The pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer. Shitou pulled Heiwa onto his back and continued to run forward. Suddenly, the other end of the alley was filled with people. The people on the other side heard the gunshots and were waiting for them there:
"Shoot! Don't let these thieves escape!"
Ma Xingkong reacted quickly, stepped on the right corner of the wall with strength, pushed his left foot on the left wall, grabbed the top of the wall with both hands, and climbed up: "Hurry up!"
There was loud gunfire in the dark alley. Fatty Liu and Zhang Hanmin respectively commanded a pair of officers and soldiers to shoot at each other in the alley.
