"At that time, the government considered that the cost of capturing Black Rock Mountain would be too high, so they left it alone. Five years ago, a master who had broken his career came from nowhere, and he is now the leader of the White Scorpion Gang, Chen Xuanpeng. This person After appearing, he first controlled the bandits on Black Rock Mountain, and then used five years to conquer dozens of gangs of various sizes on the Green Forest Road in Jincheng County one by one, and united these people to establish the White Scorpion Gang. Today There are four main hall leaders under the White Scorpion Gang leader, all of whom are masters in the stasis period. There are more than 2,300 gang members, most of whom are desperadoes, and their power cannot be underestimated."
Shen Guang was very eloquent, and his words were clear and logical. After hearing this, Wang Junlin and Xu Jingzong had a clear understanding of the White Scorpion Gang.
"Since the power cannot be underestimated, I will take action personally. Where are the prisoners presented to the imperial court?" Wang Junlin thought for a moment and made a decision in his heart.
"Reporting to the Marquis, according to the information sent by Tian Ming, we have arrived at Jincheng County at this time. We should be crossing the river now. According to the distance, we can reach the vicinity of Black Rock Mountain tomorrow afternoon." Shen Guang thought for a moment and said.
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Tonight you and I will go out of the city to collect the three thousand dead men given to me by the insect demon, and go to the Black Rock Mountain overnight. You will send a message to Dou Fagui. Tomorrow night we will attack the Black Rock." Shanbai Scorpion Gang, let him take care of it. Jingzong stayed and kept an eye on the more than a hundred people, and I still need their heads to scare the younger generation."
Shen Guang and Xu Jingzong respectfully said yes.

More than ten miles north of Jincheng is the Yellow River. At this time, on the north bank of the Yellow River, a large Sui cavalry force was driving thousands of prisoners across the river.
These prisoners were driven from Shifeng Village. As early as the Yongzhou War, when the Tuyuhun and Eastern Turkic invading enemies were defeated at the same time, Emperor Yang Jian was overjoyed and issued the decree regarding the sacrifice of prisoners and the specific implementation documents of the three provinces and six ministries. They were sent to Xiping City and Shifeng Village. According to the imperial court's plan, in order to demonstrate the emperor's martial arts skills, Xiping City and Shifeng Village will conduct two prisoner presentation ceremonies separately. The former Yu Juluo has personally escorted five thousand prisoners. We arrived in the capital, and according to time estimates, we were almost there.
The second batch of prisoners came from Shifeng Village. According to the plan, there were also 5,000 people. They were escorted by Tian Ming, the leader of the regiment under Niu Jinda, the guard of Shifeng Village, with 1,000 people. However, Tian Ming received Wang Junlin a few days ago. After sending someone to deliver the letter, he deliberately slowed down the speed. It was not until today that another three thousand prisoners were sent from the direction of Shifeng Village, bringing the number of prisoners to eight thousand, that he ordered to speed up the process.
The three thousand prisoners who came later were also Xue Yantuo soldiers captured in the battles at Shifeng Village at that time. On the surface, they looked the same as the previous five thousand prisoners. But after one day of contact today, other prisoners found that these three thousand people's faces were stiff and permanent. Their faces were expressionless and their eyes were a little dull. They didn't even say a word all day long. If someone looked carefully at their eyeballs, they would find that their eyeballs were faintly green.
These three thousand people were the first to cross the river. After crossing the river, they followed a group of cavalry and set off in advance without waiting for the prisoners behind them. From then on, no one saw these three thousand Turkic prisoners again.

Li Fengmu took fifty guards and arrived at Black Rock Mountain via a familiar route. They passed through a mountain stream several miles long and arrived at the White Scorpion Gang's home base.
Someone had already stepped forward to take over the mount, and then, cheering and cheering, they took Li Fengmu and his entourage to the gathering hall where the White Scorpion Gang's senior leaders used to discuss matters. Before Li Fengmu arrived at the door of the military tent, there was a big, smooth head.
He came out with a wild smile and said, "Young Master Li is here to visit. I, the White Scorpion Gang, will make Pengpi shine!"
"Uncle Chen, you're welcome. You and my father are as close as brothers. You can just call me junior Mu'er." Li Fengmu held his hands in the junior salute.
In front of all his subordinates, Chen Xuanpeng felt that the eldest son of the Li family in Longxi was so polite to him. He laughed and quickly stepped forward before Li Fengmu bowed down, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Xian
My nephew, please don't see me outside. Please invite people inside to have a banquet."
Li Fengmu stood up and followed Chen Xuanpeng inside, and asked casually: "Uncle Chen, how are the nobles and landowners whom my father asked Uncle Chen to take in? These people are my father's friends, and Uncle Chen must not neglect them.
!”
Chen Xuanpeng smiled guiltily and said, "Don't worry, my dear nephew, these people are very safe here with me, and I have not treated them badly."
"That's good. These people are hiding here with Uncle Chen and the news hasn't leaked out, right?" Li Fengmu asked with a smile.
"You can rest assured, nephew. I know that the person your father is dealing with this time is the famous poisonous general Wang Junlin. I understand the serious relationship between it." Chen Xuanpeng glanced at Li Fengmu and curled his lips and said, "However, these noble masters
They are really hard to take care of!"
"Oh! Whatever requests they have, uncle will try his best to satisfy them. The money and food spent will naturally be paid by our Li family!" Li Fengmu responded with a smile, "Today, I will come here in person and will also beat them to prevent them from adding anything to Uncle Chen.
trouble."
"However, Uncle Chen cannot underestimate the enemy. We must be prepared for Wang Junlin to send someone here or even come here in person if the news leaks." Li Fengmu paused and said seriously.
"What my nephew said is absolutely true!" Chen Xuanpeng also quickly put away his smile, "Tomorrow I will send a hundred spies to spread out ten miles. As long as a stranger appears nearby, I will know it as soon as possible."
Li Fengmu nodded and said: "Uncle Chen had better make some arrangements in advance and set a trap for the mountain stream. In this way, if Wang Junlin brings someone here, they will never come back! If Uncle Chen can really kill Wang Junlin, that is
If you make great achievements, I, the Li family of Longxi, will be able to find a way to make Uncle Chen become a general in the imperial court like Shangguan Fei."
When the bald-headed Chen Xuanpeng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He let out a long laugh and made a decision loudly: "In that case, let's let the brothers have a good rest tonight and recharge themselves. Tomorrow I will personally lay out the dragnet and wait until then."
Wang Junlin came to my door and brought me great joy! Hahaha..."
"Huh?" Li Fengmu actually wanted Chen Xuanpeng to send spies overnight and set up traps, but he did not want to undermine the authority of gang leader Chen Xuanpeng in front of many people.
After hesitating for a while, Li Fengmu did not object in the end, "Uncle Chen is right. It's getting late and it's too late to make arrangements. But the enemy we are facing this time is not trivial, so we cannot take it lightly. Uncle Chen had better
We will take some precautions tonight. If the opponent rushes over overnight, we will have someone who can block him in advance, so that we will not spend our whole lives fighting as hawks, only to be pecked out by sparrows in the end!"
