The autumn wind is howling, rolling fallen leaves, and Qiaojun under the setting sun has entered the typical late autumn season.
On the official road near the Huanshui River, dozens of powerful knights wearing bamboo hats and gauze skirts and wearing Liuhe boots galloped down the river from north to south, and then stopped at a building next to the official road under the setting sun.
There is a small yellow triangular flag hanging on the building, which means that this is the Huaiyou League industry that controls the important transportation channel between Jiangdong and Kansai. At the same time, there is a flag with the word "wine" hanging on it, which means that this is a typical restaurant.
The so-called restaurant is a vassal of the inn, responsible for the banquet.
When the Wei Dynasty was prosperous, there were many government-run buildings for every post within thirty miles. At the same time, there were also many private buildings on the official roads built by the Wei Dynasty. For example, Chen Ling built a Metasequoia Happy Forest in his residence, which was an industry of this kind.
of upgrade.
However, isn’t this the collapse of the Wei Dynasty?
There are bandits in almost all the prefectures and counties in the world. Most of the prefectures and counties in Hebei and the east are unable to transfer taxes. At present, the post stations in most areas exist in name only... In this case, the Huaiyou League, which mainly focuses on transportation,
However, he did not destroy his foundation easily, and still maintained his own business on the important tributaries of the Huai River such as Huan River, Wo River, Si River, Jian River, Ying River, etc.
In other words, northwest Huaihe has suffered a military disaster for just half a year, and it has already been bleak to a certain extent. Who else can maintain the headquarters except the Huaiyou League?
Turning back to the front, a group of knights dismounted and went straight in, but they frowned on the spot.
Without him, the entire restaurant was empty. Only a few tables in the middle were clean, and the rest were covered in dust. What was even more outrageous was that there were about seven or seven men outside the restaurant, playing bamboo cards and gambling under the table, until Qi Tu entered.
I just noticed it, but I was so frightened that my face turned pale and I was stunned on the spot."
Why is the restaurant so hot and cold?"
The first person took off his gauze and trousers, and it turned out to be a male knight dressed in women's clothing. His voice was loud and his eyes were clear. At first glance, he looked like a low-level practitioner. He didn't seem serious when he saw that scene."
Where is the deacon in charge of the affairs outside the library?
"Beside the table, several people had already stood up and were on guard. When they heard this, they became a little more vigilant and quickly collected the bamboo coins. Then an old man in front of him immediately stood up and held up his hands and asked: "I'm sorry, male hero, I know.
How to call it?
You are the accomplices of Ma Ping'er from the Huaizuo League, so the hero calls you Lao Huang."
Ma Ping'er is one of the vassal gangs of the Huaizuo League. It is a large and mainstream gang, but it is true that it operates far away. Is there any problem?"
I have met Wang Ma, and I dare to call him a hero. You are... you are helping the leader of the right wing Du break the formation, and you are also the eighth-level protector directly affiliated with the leader of our Huaizuo Alliance."
The male knight immediately returned the gift.
When the other party heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and then became even more respectful: "It turns out to be the powerful Bahe hero Ma Hufa from Jianghuai Mouqi, whose nickname he has admired for a long time."
Du Pozhen was not a little confused, but still reluctantly returned the favor.
At this time, Nanyang Dan in front of him also put on his bamboo hat and gauze, but he couldn't help laughing, which then made Mou Qiliang turn around and glare."
Who is...?"
The leader in the restaurant came to ask again."
Nanyang Birthday!"
Mou Qidan handed over his hand and said."
I’ve met Mou Qi!
Who won the card just now?
The money collected is so messy, so don't make a mistake in your calculations."
"He is indeed the King of Two Swords!"
This guy surnamed Huang is embarrassed on the one hand, but he tries his best to smile on the other."
You should have guessed that Ma Nanxia and Wang Tianwang have always been in and out of pairs... They are so hot and have something to do, so Xiaojia can only pass the time by playing with each other to make the two of them laugh... Yes, since they are two
If you are here, please stop worrying and sing. Then you can start a fire and prepare a decent meal and drink at your own risk."
That time it was Mou Qiliang's turn to laugh."
Mou Qi is the butler of the restaurant?"
Mou Qidan was obviously not embarrassed by the double-sword king's statement, but he still suppressed his surprise and continued to ask questions."
The rules have also been changed, so that deacons from outside the alliance come directly to the restaurant?"
"Yes, the rules have been changed."
Lao Huang quickly explained while waving his hand to the others to prepare dinner."
It's a small meeting outside the alliance that is suddenly going to be held at the main helm of Huankou. The deacons are going back soon. Deacon Wang went back in a hurry yesterday. You usually help out there, so you can be considered as a guard... Are you two returning?
Is there a meeting between the alliance and China?"
Nanyang Dan and Du Pozhen looked at each other and understood each other: the small meeting was held by such a coincidence, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with our trip south.
Before the Lishan War, the Huaizuo Alliance was slightly shaken, and even directly triggered the unity of the gangs in northwest Huaihe. Now that the gangs have swallowed up the four counties of Jishui, the strategic situation has been established, and the impact on the Jianghuai area will probably change qualitatively.
, the Huaizuo League may have to make a choice when the seven Mou Qi people receive the specific news.
We really have to make a choice. From the looks of things, if we make a decision, the Huaizuo League may have to fully unite.
Since the seven people knew that the matter was serious, they did not say anything. They just had a laugh and got over it. Then they went to the front yard of the restaurant to tie their horses and find a room to put their belongings.
As a result, when a few people were tying up their horses, they saw the waiters outside the restaurant chasing a chicken. When they took a closer look, they saw that it was an old hen, and the row of chicken coops next to it was not empty yet.
, comes from the strength of the heart.
Du Pozhen came back specifically to make an explanation with Ma Ping'er, Lao Huang, who was in charge of the restaurant, and asked him to let the old hen go and only get the food. He even paid some copper coins.
Of course the people in Ma Ping'er were happy, but after all, the dinner would be shabby, and the outside of the bedroom was covered in dust, so it would take a long time to clean, which would make people even more irritated.
Fortunately, I discovered during dinner that it was just before the autumn harvest and there was still not enough new rice and grain. With the addition of wild vegetables, fruits, and two fish, it was still okay.
Just like that, a group of knights sat at eight or seven tables, and Mou Qiliang's people sat at one table. The atmosphere was considered very bad, but it was also said to be very good.
Seeing that night was about to pass so wonderfully.
However, at that moment, another burst of hoofbeats suddenly came from inside the restaurant. The hoofbeats were not very sparse. It seemed that there was only one horse riding on it, and then it suddenly stopped behind the door.
Everyone from horses to kings and above stopped to eat, and no one went directly to touch weapons. Even the people in Ma Ping'er became relaxed. The reason couldn't be better. Even if it's official, even if there are many people, it can't be done.
The sound of horse hooves at night and the sound of horse hooves during the day are basically the same thing."
Is there anyone outside the restaurant?"
A loud knock sounded from the apartment facing the street a long way away."
The museum is not full yet!"
The mature person in charge of Ma Ping'er had no choice but to get up and go out, and came to the door of Taoyuan to deal with it. "Go up to the pavilion and find somewhere else to live... Follow the official to the south to reach the Qingdi Temple, which is deserted everywhere.
, enough to accommodate."
"In this world, how can it be possible to have a full house again?"
"A retort came from the door."
Your restaurant is the property of the Huaizuo Alliance, and there will be a small gathering outside the alliance recently, and the restaurant will be filled with our brothers who are rushing to Huankou."
Ma Ping'er's Lao Huang glanced at Wang and the others in the hall in front of him, and it was rare that they had enough momentum."
The two leaders are here to entertain guests."
There was obviously silence in the door for a moment, but then he spoke again: "Master outside the restaurant, if you want to say it's just right... First of all, they don't have a restaurant full of heroes, so they haven't done anything low, but they must be afraid of accepting guests at night;
, you also smell the fragrance of rice. If there are few of them, they can spare some food to help relieve the situation. What you gave money: Ba Lai also concealed it from them. In fact, they are all Taoist people who broke the door with the Qing Chan Gang. Qing Di
It’s really not a big deal to watch this foreign commission."
Those words were frank, and Lao Huang immediately looked at Du Po Zhen and Nan Yang Dan.
Nanyang Dan finally laughed and said, "In this case, even if the door is closed, you will look too grand. Please step back and add one or two less bowls and chopsticks!"
Seeing the King of Double Swords speak, Lao Huang opened the door directly.
When the man inside came back, he turned out to be a short, stocky man with short hair. He was in the standard shape of the Green Cicada Gang's door-breaking King Kong, although it was common.
But when the man came back and saw that what he said was false, he thanked everyone, put the heavy sword outside the back hall, went to the front, tied the horse, borrowed fodder, and came back to eat. As expected, he looked like he had been on a hard journey and was hungry.
My hair is thick and I eat slowly.
By this time, everyone had not yet lowered their guard.
Nanyang Dandan, on the other hand, was careful. Although it was night, he could see the clues at a glance. So, when the other party was half full and finished eating fruits, he simply asked: "Is the Taoist priest coming from the west?"
"How does a good man know?"
This man asked in surprise."
If your shoes and trousers are wet, you must have crossed the Huan River."
Nanyang Danxiao Dui.
It was only when I broke down the door that I suddenly understood."
Yes, and more importantly, if he came along the official route, whether traveling south or north, he should be known to you."
Nanyang Dan continued to explain with a smile."
That's true."
Po Men Dao Tu nodded immediately."
That place should have been the heaven of their Huaizuo Alliance."
Almost all the other people in the museum have their heads cut off.
But it was not at this time. The Taoist priest turned his eyes to the other people's feet, but his heart moved slightly. He couldn't help but asked with doubts: "You heroes, the people who come to Huaizuo League can still help."
people?
Or are you walking fast and the Huaizuo League hasn't been eaten up by you?"
That sentence was a good question, but it wasn't too sensitive."
He is not only a member of the Gang, but also a member of the Huaizuo Alliance."
Nanyang Dan glanced at the eight-sided boots on his feet and ignored the previous sensitive question, but responded to it with solemnity."
Are you still curious? Since the Taoist priests are here, how do you know that you helped Lishan gather the craftsmen before the war to issue eight-height boots?
Is it so slow in Jianghu?
That kind of thing is spread?"
"Yes Yes."
The short-haired Taoist priest immediately explained."
You don’t have any brothers from the past, who are also Taoist priests from the Qingchan Gang, and are helping to protect the Dharma..." Mou Qidan was slightly stunned, and finally asked: "The Eighteen Vajras of Bashu?"
The man was startled, then stood up, put down the big melon in his hand and asked, "Dwarf King Kong is the one above. Do you dare to ask me the name of a hero?"
"This is the leader of the Eight River Heroes Mou Qi Liangma, who is powerful in Jianghuai Mou Qi, and that is the leader of Nanyang Danwang, the King of Double Swords..." Old Huang of Mou Qiliang is too slow to turn around, so hurry up and show him."
It’s strange!”
It suddenly dawned on me to break the door."
You should have thought it was two people..." Du Pozhen looked a little embarrassed, and Mou Qidan smiled again: "He's so fat, little brother, did he tell me any news about the gang?"
"They all came out together to find a way out for the brothers. How could they be looking after each other?"
Dwarf King Kong didn't seem a little embarrassed either.
But Mou Qidan did not pursue too much, because I heard relevant information from Zhang Xing's side and knew that Mang King Kong, the leader of the Eighteen King Kongs of Bashu, was a well-known Dan master in his early years.
Grandmaster Baita, and the Eighteen Vajras teamed up, but they also had a brilliant record of advancing from behind a reorganized elite Jingantai patrol group.
Even when Zhang Xiaolongtou listened to Yan Qing's report on the incident, he discussed it with the little leader Bai beside him. He felt that the eighteen door-breaking kings broke out from Bashu: Xiao Mou Qiliang concentrated in the collection, and he was afraid that they were going to be small.
thing.
From the perspective of the eyes, if the Eighteen Vajras are really unorganized or have no consistent purpose, they are probably rebelling against the Wei Dynasty.
Because Mang King Kong is in Brother Huang's rebel army, and Fat King Kong has joined our gang."
How is the situation in Mouqi?"
As soon as I thought about it, and Nanyang Dan didn't know that the other party was coming from the west, he suddenly woke up and came to ask."
Very good."
Short King Kong knew that it was Nanyang Dan and Du Po who had nothing to hide in front of the formation, so he just hugged the big melon and ate it while directly informing him of the purpose of his trip."
Before Guan was defeated in Lishan, knowing that he could deal with the gang in a short period of time, Dongdu simply put all its energy on Brother Huang's side, and the recruits were stopped sending there. What's more terrible is that Bai Hengyuan of Yang
He suddenly joined the war at the end of next month, and Han Yingong also joined the war this month. Attacked from all directions, all of a sudden, Brother Huang only had two domains left. He relied on General Wu and several low-level players to rescue him, but he gradually became exhausted... That time you
Come here, you are not here under orders, I want to go out to help and see if I can rescue... The two leaders of the help, Baixia Yitian Sword, are both the old friends of General Wu."
Nanyang Dan and Du Po Zhen were both stunned.
Upon seeing this, Dwarf King Kong hurriedly took a few bites of the remaining big melon, then touched another basket of dates and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Haven't you entered Dengzhou yet?"
Nanyang Dan and Du Pozhen looked at each other, and after a long while, the former responded frankly: "It won't be ten days from next month when we have not entered Dengzhou... It's amazing that it has been a full month."
Dwarf King Kong was startled for a moment, and then he realized: "It's Bai Hengyuan and Han Yingong who are to blame... Then we'll deal with it."
The seven people in the East Territory are all good interfaces.
However, this Dwarf King Kong seemed to have no sense of belonging to Brother Huang's rebel army. He immediately raised the matter and asked: "Since it has been a month since Dengzhou was attacked, do you know what the Dragon Gang is doing?"
There was no need to hide anything, and since they rarely met each other on the road, the seven people from the Eastern Territory briefly explained some of the decrees and measures they had made public.
He heard that the gang protected the autumn harvest, cleaned up the prisons, resettled the place, and sent people to repair the ferry along Jishui. For this reason, they even postponed the meeting to decide personnel.
, Sun Xuan sent hundreds of thousands of people to cross the river to the north, and they also wanted to collect the land tax. When he heard that the orphans were gathered, they had to spend a hundred days to build foundations and repair the ferry. The people of Yuchi were not surrendering at all.
Wang Xiong's local rebels, Dwarf King Kong, finally pinched the dates and frowned slightly, obviously relieved."
What is this dragon head doing?"
After hearing this, Dwarf King Kong finally endured it."
Even Li Longtou is judging cases and recommending heroes, Chief Wei is busy with the autumn harvest, and White Hero is collecting orphans... It's been a month since Dengzhou was taken over, what is Zhang Longtou himself doing?"
Du Pozhen and Nanyang Dan looked at each other and remained strangely silent."
What is Zhang Longtou busy with?"
Dwarf Jingang asked hurriedly."
Leader Wang, as the leader of Zhang Longtou's personal guards behind the tent, can be released to Huankou, what is this dragon head doing?"
Several members of Mou Qiliang's gang were also curious and came to see the horse, Wang Qi and others.
Nanyang Dan smiled dryly and told the truth: "Your leader is mainly busy with two things... I have been writing articles this evening. It is said that I wrote the art of war for the leaders above, how to set up a camp..."
"I see."
Dwarf King Kong nodded repeatedly."
That's just like you, Brother Huang, who learns from every experience. We rebels have to take that path. That's business. What about today?"
"We pick vegetables and make hats during the day." Du Pozhen suddenly interrupted without saying anything."
Quite busy anyway."
Dwarf King Kong was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a long time."
That's the Zhang Balang you know."
Two days ago, under the chapel of the Huaizuo League in Huankou Town, after listening to the report of the seven people from the East, the surrounding area was buzzing, except for Bai Diguan, who was sitting in the first place, looking up to the sky and sighing."
Everyone, that is the Zhang Balang you know!"
The hall instantly became quiet, and almost everyone looked down at Bai Di's face.
But Bai Diguan simply stood up, spread out his calloused hands and annexed the four counties of Jishui. If it had been someone else...if it had been you...I'm afraid he would have gotten carried away and directly claimed the throne in Dengzhou.
!
As a result, they took prisoners of war to pickle vegetables in order to save military rations, and brought craftsmen to make leather hats in preparation for the severe heat of this winter, or winter combat.
What about us?
In our situation, our power is more than ten times worse than others?
But quarreling outside is a waste of time!"
These are people who are willing to cause trouble, so why do they think you can still fight both ways at that time?
Can the court let you go, or can the gang let you go?"
These people who refuse to start an uprising have nothing to rely on. Do they think they can be on an equal footing with the gang?
Although our Huaizuo League is small, no one in the Huaizuo League thinks that he can use military force to conduct political affairs, and his strategies are as good as that of Zhang Balang?!"
After saying that, Mou Qiliang put away his small hands and walked away in a standard manner, turning around and leaving the magnificent main helm hall.
Fu Boshi, Li Zida, Wenren Xun'an, and Miao Hailang, the seven core members of the Huaizuo League, immediately followed. The so-called Taibao also followed Kan Leng's leadership.
That made Mou Qidan, who was standing in the hall, inexplicably absent-minded. Just like Du Pozhen who was still naive, that outstanding young man had long realized that the situation was determined by his own actions, and he had gone back a long time ago.
.
Now that things have happened, I just hope that my adoptive father can understand the situation as clearly as he said and conspire with Uncle Zhang on trivial matters.
