A knife in love

Chapter 924

Xingyiquan is said to have been created by Yue Fei, a great general in the early Southern Song Dynasty. It spread widely and reached its peak in the late Southern Song Dynasty.However, after the Yuan army invaded the Central Plains, the disciples of Xingyi Quan were indignant and participated in the anti-Yuan uprisings in various places.These Xingyi Quan disciples regard Yue Wumu as the founder of the sect, and they only want to drive out the barbarians and restore the Han Dynasty, so they often take the lead in battles, causing many casualties.However, the Mongolian Yuan court knew that the Xingyiquan faction was determined to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, and brutally hunted and killed Xingyiquan.Most of the disciples of Xingyiquan were killed or injured, and they couldn't gain a foothold in the Central Plains, so they had to retreat to Sichuan.Because the middle of Shu is isolated from the Central Plains, the population is not very prosperous, and Xingyiquan is hidden in the remote mountains with few people.Therefore, since then, Xingyiquan has gradually declined, and gradually reduced to a small gang in the arena.

It's just that all parties in the martial arts admire Xingyiquan's integrity against the Tartars, although in terms of Jianghu forces, Xingyiquan is insignificant.But as long as Xingyiquan disciples are present, everyone will respect them very much.Therefore, Liu Yong invited the leaders of various gangs to come to discuss the timing of dealing with the Japanese pirates, and he also invited the master of Xingyiquan, Mo Zhisheng, over.

As for the ship gang, it was originally assembled by craftsmen from the Fourteen Shipyards who built ships for the imperial court.At the beginning of its establishment, its purpose was to gather shipbuilders and boatmen together to bargain with ship owners.Later, some gangsters joined in, and gradually it became a huge gang.Most of the Chuanbang gangs are proficient in water, and they control the waterways in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. They also colluded with local governments, and their power expanded rapidly.It's just that when King Ning rebelled, the leader of the boat gang thought that King Ning's great event would be successful, so he led the gang to join the rebel army.In the end, they were defeated by the navy army led by Wang Yangming, and the gang leaders and leaders of the boat gang died and escaped. Therefore, the power declined greatly, which was not the same as when it was at its peak.But the centipede, even though it is not dead, the boat gang still has a certain status in the arena.Therefore, at the summit meeting of the various gangs, the Chuan Gang advocated the banner and was naturally invited.

It's just that in the eyes of various martial arts factions, the status of Xingyi Quan is much higher than that of Chuan Gang.At this time, seeing Zhang Qi forcing Mo Zhisheng into a speechless situation, everyone was quite upset.

Li Qiufeng looked at Zhang Qi's smug look, and thought to himself, if there was a fight with the pirates, this bastard would probably be the first to escape first.It doesn't matter if these idiots escape, I'm afraid it will shake the morale of the army and affect the overall situation.Leading these people against the Japanese pirates who are united and motivated must be defeated.

Liu Yong was also very dissatisfied with Zhang Qi, but he couldn't get too entangled with this person at this time.He coughed, and said to everyone: "Fortunately, we have eliminated all the eyeliners planted by the Japanese pirates in the Iron Palm Gang, the Red Spear Club, and Xiema Villa. Please check carefully after you go back. Today we have to discuss a more important matter, which is how to deal with those demons and heretics who have already ambushed outside the city."

As soon as Liu Yong finished speaking, Xia Kun, the master of the Jiangxi Meteor Shuangyue Knife, stood up and said, "We also have two or three thousand heroes here, are we afraid that those demons and heretics will fail? In my opinion, let's go back and gather disciples. Go out of the city and chop up all these bastards, just to remove the scourge for Jianghu!"

Xia Kun took the lead, and immediately five or six gang leaders cheered.Li Qiufeng took a look at Xia Kun, and thought to himself, this person is a fool and can't do anything.

Seeing Xia Kun's menacing appearance, Chu Danyang smiled and said, "Master Xia, those evil heretics should not be underestimated. If we attack rashly, I'm afraid we will fall into their ambush..."

Before Chu Danyang finished speaking, Xia Kun said angrily: "What's the big deal if there is an ambush? On the way to Xiuwu County, when we passed Luoyang, we happened to listen to a passage while drinking tea in a teahouse. This passage tells During the Three Kingdoms period, Ma Chao raised troops in Xiliang to eliminate Cao Cao and revive the Han Dynasty. Cao Mengde led an army to face Ma Chao, and the two sides faced off at Tongguan. Cao Mengde deceived Ma Mengqi to be brave and foolish, and did not take Xiliang army horses seriously. It happened that the strong wind broke the flagpole, so Cao Mengde decided that Ma Mengqi was going to rob the village, so he dug traps in the camp and ambushed the elite soldiers outside the empty camp, so as to catch the Xiliang army by surprise. That night Ma Chao sent General Pang De came to rob the stronghold, Cao Mengde saw that Ma Mengqi had been fooled, so he ordered all the ambush troops to come out. Guess what happened?"

I saw Xia Kun blowing his beard and staring, with an excited expression on his face. He looked like a high-flyer, just like a storyteller in the market.Seeing his appearance, everyone was angry and funny, but no one paid any attention to him.

Seeing that no one answered, Xia Kun felt more and more proud that no one knew this story.He rolled up his sleeves and said triumphantly: "Ma Chao is good at running the army, the Xiliang soldiers are brave and invincible, and that general Pang De is even more brave and good at fighting. Therefore, Cao Mengde surrounded Pang De even though he went out of ambush. However, they were unable to defeat the Xiliang soldiers. There was a scuffle between the two sides. Although the tens of thousands of Cao troops had already ambushed, they were fighting from all sides at this time, but there was nothing they could do about the thousands of Xiliang soldiers led by Pound. It was the time of the chaotic battle between the two sides. , Ma Chao led the army to attack suddenly. Cao Mengde was scared out of his wits, turned around and fled. Cao's army collapsed like an avalanche, and was killed by Xiliang soldiers, and almost the whole army was wiped out. Fortunately, the general Xu Chu rescued Cao Mengde desperately and snatched another boat , protected Cao Mengde and escaped across the river, and was lucky not to die in the hands of Xiliang soldiers. Later, Cao Cao cut off his beard and robe, that is another story. I remember..."

Seeing Xia Kun's saliva flying all over the place, the more they talked, the more bizarre they became, and they didn't know where they went.Because of this, everyone was annoyed, and they didn't want to talk to him, drinking tea and chatting on their own.What used to be a solemn summit meeting of martial arts factions turned into a teahouse for storytelling and opera.Liu Yong, Chu Danyang and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, and there was nothing they could do with Xia Kun, a living treasure, so they had to let him talk nonsense.

Fortunately, Xia Kun blew his beard and stared for a long time, but felt his mouth was dry, so he lowered his head to get a teacup and drink tea.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Yong said to everyone: "At present, there are great enemies around, everyone must restrain our disciples. First, we must not cause trouble in the city. Second, we must be united and reasonable, and there must be no internal strife. Fortunately, the governor of Henan The reinforcements from Yamen and Luoyang Zhifu Yamen are about to arrive in Xiuwu County, and when that time comes, we will join hands with the government to wipe out these Japanese pirates and evil heretics in one fell swoop, it will not be difficult to imagine."

When he said this, seeing Xia Kun wanted to speak again, he was afraid that this person would start talking nonsense again, so he hurriedly continued: "We will stop here today. After you go back, you must screen the disciples and disciples. If you find anything suspicious People, we must find out the source, and we must not let the undercover agents and eyeliners of Japanese pirates and evil heretics still mix among us, waiting for an opportunity to stir up internal strife among various factions!"

After Liu Yong finished speaking, the gang leaders and heads of various gangs agreed one after another, got up and walked out.Xia Kunwu refused to stop, and followed behind several gang leaders and heads, chattering on and on as he walked.

After everyone left, only Liu Yong, Chu Danyang, Xu Chenghe, Feng Jie and Li Qiufeng were left in the backyard.

Liu Yong gave a wry smile, spread his hands out, and said to everyone, "We've been discussing for a long time, but nothing came out. What should we do?"

Feng Jie was the most impatient, cursing angrily: "Damn it, why did you hang out with bastards like Xia Kun and Zhang Qi? You've really dishonored us people."

Li Qiufeng said: "Seniors, you have also seen the situation just now. If we want to lead these people to fight against Japanese pirates, we must be completely defeated."

Liu Yong also looked worried, shook his head, but did not speak.

Chu Danyang and Liu Yong have known each other for many years, and he has never seen him so depressed. His heart trembled, and he said in his mouth: "Mr. Liu, we still have to rely on you to find a way to deal with the Japanese pirates..."

Liu Yong didn't wait for him to finish, he smiled wryly, and said, "Master Chu, you have seen the current situation. It is still very different from our situation in the Imperial Tomb, Yong'an City and Hutouyan. In the past near the capital, there were far more famous and decent sects arriving than now. Some friends of martial arts righteousness are highly respected and respected, and they are not easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy. But now in Xiuwu County, although more than 100 martial arts gangs have come , but they are all second- and third-rate small gangs, some gangs are between good and evil, and the gang members and disciples are even more mixed. As Brother Li said, it is impossible to think about relying on these people to fight against pirates and evil heretics I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe in the future, and there is nothing Liu can do. Sigh."
