Chapter 187 Eight Picks!
Chapter 187 Eight Hundred Picks!
When Chu Xisheng received the letter from Wu Meiniang, he had already arrived at the east pier of the city.
Perhaps to mend the relationship, Wu Meiniang not only informed Liu Ruoxi's location, but also used a "Flying Sword of Heaven and Earth" to send all the information from Xishan Hall up to the hall master "Iron Hand" Liu Dingtang, down to the bottom-level helpers. In front of Chu Xisheng.
Chu Xisheng first picked out the information about Liu Ruoxi and glanced at it.
His pupils shone slightly, showing a hint of sternness.
Chu Yunyun snatched the rice paper away, then rubbed the paper into powder expressionlessly.
"He has a lot of guts."
At this time, she seemed to have no abnormalities, but the river beside her was already 'gurgling', and countless fish and shrimps floated up with their belly turned white.
Someone nearby saw it and fished it with his hands, and then cursed in disbelief: "It's so hot! It's so weird, the water seems to be boiling? The fish and shrimp are all cooked."
Chu Xisheng frowned, looking at Chu Yunyun fixedly.
The girl also knew something was wrong, and tried her best to restrain her martial intentions.
However, the violent thoughts in her heart could not be suppressed no matter how much she suppressed.
Wu Meiniang said that two days ago, Liu Ruoxi was brought to Xishan Town by the Haiqing Gang and sent to Xiufang Building.
It was a brothel opened by the Haiqing Gang in Xishan Town, specializing in the business of hunters in Xishan.
Liu Ruoxi was not very tame, so she was 'disciplined' by the bustard of Xiufanglou.
On the first day Liu Ruoxi was sent there, she was beaten with fifty lashes.Then naked, wearing only a bellyband, hanging in the lobby of the building for people to 'watch'.
Chu Yunyun has never met Liu Ruoxi.
She just read these words and knew the pain and humiliation that Liu Ruoxi was suffering at this time.
Chu Yunyun was already furious because of the bad news about the magic strategy, but now she was even more angry.
She rarely has such a strong killing intent, wanting to kill a person.
Chu Xisheng continued to look at the next few sheets of rice paper.
After carefully reading the content, he raised his eyebrows and eyes slightly, showing satisfaction.
In fact, Chu Xisheng didn't have any complaints against Wu Meiniang. Wu Meiniang's actions that night at Zhiweiju were all human nature, and she was already very loyal.
However, the information provided by Wu Meiniang made Chu Xisheng even more profitable.
Chu Xisheng casually stuffed a 500 tael silver bill into the hilt of the 'Qiankun Flying Sword', and then slapped the hilt of the sword, causing the flying sword to be pulled up in the air and sprint towards the other side of the river. go away.
After watching the flying sword go away, Chu Xisheng went to the headquarter of the Iron Banner Gang.
It was a huge ship of ten thousand stones, just docked beside the shore.
A big iron flag was erected in the center of the big ship, waving fiercely.
As soon as Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun approached, the nearby Iron Banner gang members noticed it.
When they saw Chu Xisheng, they were all pleasantly surprised, and they all saluted him: "We welcome Chu Shaoxia!"
"Go quickly and tell the banner owner that a distinguished guest is coming today."
"—I heard about Chu Shaoxia's reputation from the vice-banner leader a few months ago, why did the young man come here now?"
"What young hero? This is the nephew recognized by the banner owner. He wants to call him brother."
"When did Brother Chu join our Iron Banner Gang? In the battle of Zhiweiju that day, Brother Chu's demeanor in fighting Baiyunzhai alone, I remember it vividly and admire it for a long time!"
These Iron Banner gangs rushed over one after another, all of them looked friendly and smiling.
Chu Xisheng was emotionally agitated, and he clasped his fists at these people in return: "Ashamed! Chu should have come here to thank you brothers. If it weren't for the help of Tieqi, Chu's bones would have been cold!"
Just as he returned the gift, a loud laugh came from afar.
"It's really a distinguished guest!"
It was Iron Maniac. He was wearing red heavy armor, but he flew twenty feet into the air with ease, and landed in front of Chu Xisheng.
Behind him, there are two people following.
One was about forty, his face was purple, about seven feet tall, his figure was as thin as a bamboo pole, and a soft sword was wrapped around his waist.
The other person, also wearing heavy armor, was 26 and seven years old, with a burly figure.This person has a majestic face, handsome features, black hair knotted at the forehead, which looks like two protruding horns.
Chu Xisheng first took a look at the heavy rune armor on Tie Kuangren's body, and thought that this should be the battle armor 'Iron Buddha Tu'.
The pagoda comes from Buddhism, which means a pagoda, and also refers to a magic weapon with the effect of warding off evil spirits—it can make all evil obstacles far away, and make all evil spirits stay away when they hear its voice.
Rumor has it that Iron Madman's armor is of the third rank, with [-] runes engraved inside.
Not only is the defense ability extra powerful, but also the divine power to control Yuan magnetism and metal.
And if you kill one person in battle, you can increase your strength by one point.
Relying on this armor, Iron Madman is invincible in the county.Many fourth-rank masters are all defeated by him.
As for the two behind him, they should be Lin Shi, the leader of the Xiushui Hall of the Iron Banner Gang, 'Songfengjian', and Jia Dali, the leader of the Gushi Hall, 'Iron Bull', both of whom are the right-hand men of Iron Madman.
Tie Kuangren patted Chu Xisheng on the shoulder: "What? You came here today, just to treat the brothers to drink? Unfortunately, your Uncle Tie is not here. Come! Let me introduce you, this is my good brother, Lin Shi, the head of Xiushui Hall, this is Jia Dali, the head of Gushi Hall, my nephew. Even though he is young, he has been following me for many years."
Chu Xisheng grinned his teeth when he was slapped by Tie Kuangren's heavy palm, and he saluted the two behind Tie Kuangren first.
Then he clasped his fist at Tie Kuangren with a solemn expression: "My nephew came here today to join the Iron Banner Gang, I wonder if Uncle Kuang would like to give my nephew a bite of food?"
When Tie Kuangren heard this sentence, he couldn't help opening his pupils, showing a touch of surprise.
The surrounding Iron Banner gang members also exploded with a 'boom'.
Everyone's expressions were pleasantly surprised and excited, even proud.
Chu Xisheng was ranked No. [-] on the Qing Yun List!
The first battle of Zhiweiju was even more legendary in the ancient market, causing a sensation in the entire Dongzhou martial arts.
Such a character actually wants to join their Iron Banner Gang?
"Why don't you want to?" Tie Kuangren's expression calmed down, and he smiled softly: "To be honest, Uncle Tie and I have already prepared the position of hall master, and we are waiting for you, which is the rebuilt Fire Bone Hall .So if you don’t come today, we will come to the door in person in the near future and hire you to join the gang.”
Chu Xi raised his sword eyebrows when he heard the words, and suppressed the emotions in his heart, his face remained as before: "Don't dare! The so-called not being rewarded for no merit, my nephew is a newcomer who has not made a lot of achievements, and suddenly got a heavy job, my nephew I am ashamed to accept it, and I am afraid that my brothers will not accept it. However, if Uncle Kuang is willing to grant me the position of Hall Master of Xishan, my nephew will have a bit of confidence."
Tie Kuangren was taken aback when he heard that, among the twelve halls of their Tie Banner Gang, there was no Xishan Hall.
"Next is another thing my nephew wants to say."
There was a sharpness in Chu Xi's voice: "Recently, my nephew had some quarrels with Liu Dingtang, the strongman of the Haiqing Gang, and I want to borrow eight hundred soldiers from Uncle Kuang to settle the grudge with him."
Tie Kuangren couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly: "Liu Dingtang?"
Liu Dingtang, the Iron Hand, is not someone to be easily provoked, otherwise he wouldn't have occupied Xishan Town for many years, making it impossible for the Iron Banner Gang to reach out.
This man is so bold that in recent years he even dared to counterattack the Chengdong Wharf and set up a flag near the wharf.
Naturally, this is also related to the fact that the Iron Banner Gang's focus is on the Shenxiu River.
Chu Yunyun stood behind and looked at Chu Xisheng with a slightly strange look.
Chu Yunyun's original plan was to come to the door alone and beat Liu Dingtang to death.
This move risked revealing their identities, but Chu Yunyun had to do it.
That girl named Liu Ruoxi couldn't afford to wait any longer.She must also use Liu Dingtang's head to comfort the spirit of the old ministry in heaven.
However, Chu Xisheng's approach was more clever, leaving no future troubles.
Tie Kuangren seemed to have thought of something: "The grievance you mentioned is Zhiweiju, Baiyunzhai?"
As far as he knows, Liu Dingtang of Xishan Hall is not only connected with Baiyun Village, but also deeply connected.
The child did not know where to find out about this joint, and he was actually planning to attack Liu Dingtang of Xishan Hall.
Chu Xisheng didn't admit it, nor did he deny it. The corners of his lips twitched slightly: "Please ask Uncle Tie to borrow eight hundred soldiers, and my nephew guarantees that Xishan Hall will be wiped out within a day, and at the most tomorrow night, my nephew will send Liu Dingtang's head!"
Tie Kuangren was thoughtful when he heard the words.
Behind him, 'Pine Wind Sword' Lin Shi and 'Iron Bull' Jia Dali looked at each other, both of them frowned slightly, and read two words from each other's eyes.
An idiot talking about dreams is not ashamed!
If Xishantang was a soft persimmon that was easy to pinch, it would have been wiped out by them long ago.
Behind Liu Dingtang is actually a big family leader in Xiushui County, high-ranking officials and eunuchs, whose power is deeply entrenched, how can a mere 800 people solve it?
Jia Dali frowned even more coldly, making no secret of his dissatisfaction and contempt for Chu Xisheng.
※※※※
A moment later, the Iron Banner gang was at the helm, on the deck of the Iron Banner.
Iron Madman was wearing a battle armor, sitting on a square table with a big horse and a golden knife, drinking wine with a smile.
Song Fengjian and Lin Shi accompanied him, with a helpless look on his face: "You really borrowed this soldier, Chu Xisheng is young and doesn't know the heights of the world, and you are just as willful?
It's not that our Iron Banner Gang never fought Xishan Hall, what happened?Can you believe that Xishan Hall was wiped out in one day?I just beg him not to trap all the brothers in Xuanfeng Hall in Xishan. "
The eight hundred elites in the Xuanfeng Hall are the essence of the Iron Banner Gang.
It was Daofeng selected from the [-] members of the Iron Banner Gang, and the deputy banner leader Tie Xiaosheng personally ruled it.
Today, Tie Xiaosheng was not around, but Tie Kuangren gave all the eight hundred elites to Chu Xisheng.
Tie Kuangren didn't care at all, he also poured wine for Lin Shi: "Why don't you try it? It's just a loan for a day. If it succeeds, I will have another Xishan hall under the leadership of the Iron Banner Gang; if it doesn't work, You can also win a general's heart, this is a stable business, why not do it?"
"That being said," Lin Shi held the wine glass in his hand, but felt that the wine was tasteless: "How dangerous is Xishan Town? You are not taking the lives of your brothers too seriously by doing this.
I know you admire this young man, No. 60 Qingyun Tianjiao on the Qingyun List, and it is indeed worth your heavy bet to recruit him.The people who choose Fengtang are also our brothers and sisters, how can we favor one over another? "
Tie Kuangren smiled when he heard this, and said noncommittally: "Let me ask you, where is Xishan Zhendan?"
Lin Shi immediately raised his eyebrows: "There are many tricky places! First, there are so many masters in Xishantang, Liu Dingtang actually didn't raise a few masters, and he himself was only at the seventh rank, but every time he fought, he There are always some masters who don't know their origins.
Second, Xishan County Army!The county army stationed at the foot of the West Mountain as many as [-].Liu Dingtang's younger sister is the most beloved concubine of the county lieutenant Shen Zhou, so she is able to control Xishan with a seventh-rank cultivation.I led troops into Xishan Town two months ago, and Shen Zhou didn't care about his face, and directly asked his subordinate county soldiers to cover up with black cloth and fight us.
Third, six doors!In recent years, whenever we have conflicts with the Haiqing Gang, the Six Doors will always take sides and use various charges to throw our brothers into prison.
Fourth, those hunters in Xishan.The livelihoods of these hunters are controlled by Liu Dingtang and threatened by Baiyunzhai.It is a big trouble to pull thousands of men out of the mountain, even if they only work and do not work hard.
Fifth, the internal terrain of Xishan Town is complicated. With the help of Shen Zhou's relationship, Liu Dingtang purchased ninety 'Four-armed Heavy Crossbows', hid them in various houses in the town, and blocked the streets.These heavy crossbows are so powerful that even a seventh-rank martial artist can't beat them head-on. "
Lin Shi presided over the battle to attack and destroy Xishan Hall twice, but they all ended in vain.
Among them, the one with the heaviest casualties was the loss of two hundred brothers in Xishan Town.
Lin Shi looked at Tie Kuangren firmly: "Tie Shou Liu Dingtang's Xishantang has only over [-] people. But he has Xishan Orion as his base, and many aristocratic families in Xiushui County as his support. He can call tens of thousands of people at any time. The momentum is as firm as a mountain, unshakable!"
"But I still want to try!"
Tie Kuangren drank a glass of wine calmly: "Xishan Town is 55 miles west of Xiushui City, and less than 72 miles away from our east pier. Liu Dingtang sent troops from Xishan Town, and he could reach the pier in three quarters.
If this person is not dealt with, my Iron Banner gang is like a snake nailed seven inches away, unable to stretch out, leaving me with a thorn in my back.Moreover, our Iron Banner Gang has been fighting the Long family for so long, but there has been no progress, and it is time to break the situation.
Come on, hang up the recruiting flag!According to my order, within half a day, I want to see 150 gangs from upstream and downstream, [-] brothers who make a living on the water, at least [-] boats, and [-] heavy crossbows, gathered at the east pier of the city! "
Lin Shi was taken aback immediately: "Banner Master, may I ask what is your name?"
"Strive for Xiao Chu!"
The corners of Tie Kuangren's lips raised slightly: "You're right, Xishantang's biggest supporters are many aristocratic families in Xiushui County. I can't lend him my soldiers, so I just leave it alone. Watch it."
Song Fengjian Lin Shi couldn't help but look helpless.
Instead of persuading Madman Tie, he made this man put all his eggs in one basket regardless of the consequences.
The coolie boatmen in the upper and lower reaches of Xiushui County really appreciate the kindness of Madman Dai Tie and respect him.
But if it is used frequently, it will inevitably cause people to complain.
"Come and drink!"
At this time, Tie Kuangren added food to Lin Shi: "Little Chu, although I have only met him a few times, and we have known him for less than half a year, I already know him well. His character is far stronger than you imagined." Steady, and not like the kind of hero who takes the lives of his brothers for nothing, the two battles between Fire Bone Cave and Zhiweiju show that he has both wisdom and courage, so I trust him!"
Tie Kuangren picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Lin Shi again: "Don't worry, I've prepared a backup player. Even if he fails to win Xishan Town, the brothers in Xuanfengtang can return safely. So you and I are here Wait with peace of mind, and wait for the good news from Chu Xisheng."
※※※※
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Xuanfeng Hall were putting on their helmets and putting on their armor, and lined up in a neat line, marching on the official road to Xishan Town.
Although they come from gangs, they have the aura of an army, much more elite than the Tianping Army.
Chu Xisheng stood by the road, looking at a burly young man in front of him with a little surprise.
——That's Zhou Liangchen.
After two months of seeing each other, Zhou Liangchen's body frame has completely grown. Not only is he taller than before by half a head, but his shoulders are also much wider.
He looked like Xiong Wei, and he already had a bit of Zhou Xiong's mighty aura.
Zhou Liangchen's skin turned dark, black mustaches appeared around his lips, and his facial features became more serious, as if carved out of a rock.
"It looks like a different person. You were so handsome before, but now you are like a bear."
Chu Xi was amazed with a 'tsk tsk' expression, and looked puzzled: "How did you find me? You want to fight with me again? Then you have to wait another day until I can handle the matter at hand."
Zhou Liangchen put his arms around his chest, his eyes filled with anticipation: "I want to fight you again, to see how the gap between No. 90 and No. 60 on the Qing Yun Ranking is, so I asked Wu Meiniang to buy the news."
——Just over a month ago, Zhou Liangchen had already completed the family's direct method.
While he was promoted to the eighth rank in cultivation, he was also able to rank No. 90 and second in the Qingyun list.
"But I'm also here to look for an errand. I heard from Wu Meiniang that the Iron Banner Gang plans to open a incense hall for you, and you will be directly promoted to the hall master?"
Chu Xi heard the words, but was slightly taken aback: "Looking for an errand? You mean, you want to work for me?"
That is to be his subordinate?
The dignified son of the Zhou family, come to be his younger brother?
"The rules of our Zhou family, before the sixth rank, the descendants of the direct line are not allowed to rely on the strength of the family except for secret medicines. One needs to make money for magic weapons, battle plans, etc."
Zhou Liangchen touched the bridge of his nose helplessly: "I was thinking about finding a job to support myself anyway, so I might as well work under you. At least you, Chu Xisheng, are one of the most admired people in Zhou's life, serving under your command ,My pleasure."
Then he raised his chin slightly: "With my strength, it shouldn't be too much to be an altar master under your command?"
Chu Xi couldn't help having a headache when he heard the words, thinking that Zhou Liangchen's strength was more than enough.
The rules of the Iron Banner gang are similar to those of other rivers and lakes gangs.
Under Tie Kuangren and Tie Xiaosheng, there are three levels of bosses: Hall Master, Altar Master, and Fragrance Master.
The incense master is easy to understand. The little boss usually brings six or seven subordinates to offer incense to the "Loyalty and Longevity Emperor", so he is called the incense master. Generally, the strength of the ninth rank is competent.
If it is in the most elite 'Xuanfeng Hall', 'Xiu Shui Hall', 'Ancient Market Hall', and the 'Iron Banner Hall' directly under the direct control of the Iron Maniac, you will have a cultivation base below the eighth rank.
The altar master has more people under his jurisdiction. When offering incense to the "Loyalty and Longevity Emperor", the altar has to be opened, so it is called the altar master.
At this level, without the strength of the eighth rank, or even the strength of the seventh rank, it is unstoppable.
Then there is the hall master. There must be a large hall to accommodate hundreds of people, so it is the master of the incense hall.
Most of the twelve hall masters of the Iron Banner Gang, as well as the five halls under the direct control of the chief rudder, are at the top of the seventh rank, and only four of them have reached the lower rank of the sixth rank.
Even though Zhou Liangchen's cultivation was only at the eighth rank.
But he is a figure on the Qingyun list, with a strong talent, excellent magic weapons and battle plans, and super-strength combat power.Even if he encounters a martial artist under the seventh rank, he can fight with all his strength, which is enough to be the altar master.
The problem is that this guy is the son of the Zhou family, if he gets hurt somewhere, or if something happens in the rivers and lakes, how should he explain to the Zhou family?
Chu Xisheng's eyes hesitated: "If you want to come to my subordinates to work, I would definitely like it. The question is, do Uncle Zhou and your mother know about this?"
As soon as he said something, he felt inappropriate, which might have the opposite effect.
Sure enough, Zhou Liangchen frowned: "Where I want to work is my business, so ask them what they do?"
Then he looked at the group of heavily armed and murderous Iron Banner gang members behind Chu Xisheng, his eyes lit up: "This is the Iron Banner Gang's selection team? Where are you going to fight? Count me in." .”
Chu Xisheng had even more headaches.
He was thinking about how to refuse, when Zhou Liangchen who was facing him suddenly slashed at him with a sword.
Chu Xisheng's pupil light shrunk slightly, and his right hand was like light and electricity, waving an afterimage.
when!
With a muffled sound, Chu Xisheng's figure suddenly slid back more than a foot, but he actually used two fingers to directly clamp Zhou Liangchen's epee, making it impossible to move.
"—By electric finger?"
Zhou Liangchen was taken aback, his eyes became more admiring and fanatical.
In just two months, Chu Xisheng's strength has risen to this point!
The opponent can catch his sword with his fingers!
Sure enough, it is worthy of being the No.1 of the Dongzhou teenagers!
Only by the side of such a person can he sharpen his swordsmanship!
Only someone like Brother Chu can convince him and make him follow.
"I originally wanted you to see my current strength, my swordsmanship, so that Brother Chu should not worry about me. But Brother Chu's strength now surprises me even more."
Zhou Liangchen withdrew his sword and put it back into its sheath with a blank expression: "Your subordinate's position as altar master, Zhou has been determined. If you don't want to, I will follow you, inseparable, until you agree!"
He raised his chin, and put on an appearance of being determined by you: "Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky! If I die in a dispute between the rivers and lakes one day, it will be Zhou's life, and it has nothing to do with you, Brother Chu! My parents are sensible people and will not argue with you, brother Chu."
Chu Xisheng was secretly surprised that Zhou Liangchen's swordsmanship had indeed improved.
As far as he knows, the Zhou family's swordsmanship is more about intention than skill.
The family-inherited exercises practiced by the direct descendants are called 'Crazy Sea and Lonely Boat'.
What is important is to walk against the current in the turbulent waves, and to gain a glimpse of the true meaning of martial arts in adversity and danger.
But at this time, Zhou Liangchen's sword intent really has the meaning of sailing the boat on the sea and fighting against the world.
——This person's swordsmanship and talent are not only No. 90 on the Qingyun List!
Chu Xisheng put his hands behind his back and shook his head helplessly: "You can follow if you want, but I still have to ask Uncle Zhou what he meant afterwards—"
When he reached this point, a burly man galloped towards him on a horse.
That was the Gushi leader of the Iron Banner Gang, 'Iron Bull' Jia Dali.
"Fifteen miles ahead is Xishan Town!"
Jia Dali's face was dark and cold, and he squinted at Chu Xisheng with disgust and indifference in his eyes.
"How do you want to fight? It can be said, don't let the brothers be unprepared when something is imminent."
Originally, Jia Dali didn't feel bad about this person, and was even a little grateful.
In the battle of Zhiweiju that night, this man has both courage and perseverance, which is really impressive, and he also saved his life for his uncle Tie Xiaosheng.
The problem is that this person has just joined the Iron Banner Gang, and Tie Kuangren is going to confer on him the high position of hall master, keeping pace with him!
May I ask the chiefs of the Iron Banner Gang, which one was not punched, kicked, sword-knife?They are all real meritorious deeds.
Although Chu Xi was famous, she hadn't made any achievements!How can he be worthy of the hall master?
Just because Chu Xisheng was listed at No. [-] on the Qing Yun Ranking?Saved the life of Uncle Tie Xiaosheng?He Tie Niu Jia Dali has also been on the list of famous heroes!He also fought side by side with Tie Xiaosheng.
Especially what Chu Xisheng said to Tie Kuangren today made him even more displeased.
It is a joke to use 800 people to raze Xishan Hall and behead Liu Dingtang!
This person is full of rhetoric and nonsense, which is unreliable at first glance.
Tie Kuangren believed his nonsense, not only appointed this bastard to lead the eight hundred Xuanfengtang to attack Xishantang, but also appointed him here, saying that he was required to 'obey the dispatch and not disobey orders'.
Jia Dali actually didn't want to follow, but firstly he didn't dare to disobey his uncle's wishes; secondly, he was worried that this guy would bring many brothers from the Xuanfeng Hall into the ditch.
"Little brother has exactly that intention!"
Chu Xisheng strode towards a larger bluestone beside the road.
With a 'wow', he displayed a map on the bluestone block: "All the altar masters and above of the Xuanfeng Hall, come to discuss the matter!"
His voice was so loud that it spread throughout the front and rear queues.
Tie Xiaosheng's Xuanfeng Hall has ten altar masters and three deputy hall masters.
One of the deputy hall masters went to Zhoucheng with Tie Xiaosheng, and the other 12 people rode their horses to the bluestone.
Chu Xisheng secretly marveled, this Xuanfeng Hall is indeed the strongest part of the Iron Banner Gang.
These ten altar masters all have strengths below the seventh rank; the two deputy hall masters are above the seventh rank.
"Tell me, how are you going to fight?" Tieniu Jia crossed his arms vigorously and looked at Chu Xisheng with a sneer: "I can guarantee that before our 800 people get close to Xishan Town, one-third of them will be killed." Get caught by the six doors, maybe even I will have to go to prison."
He is in the Yamen and has a criminal record.
Although the government had no evidence to convict him, they had plenty of excuses if they wanted to arrest him and live there for a day or two.
Can't you just kill officials and rebel?
"Six doors are a real problem."
Chu Xisheng nodded slightly: "However, the special envoy of the Baihutang of the six gates is still in the county government office. This is a rare opportunity. Before I came, I had already discussed it with Uncle Kuang, and tried to make them have no time to attend to him."
Jia Dali was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then he sneered as usual: "Then how do you want to attack Xishan Town? Liu Dingtang must have received the news by now and is waiting in full force in the town. Not only is he a large number of people, but he has also set up more than 90 planes in the town The four-armed crossbow made us suffer a lot last time."
Chu Xisheng thought that the four-armed giant crossbow was really powerful. Except for Jia Dali, who was under the sixth rank, no one here could hold it.
but--
"Who said I'm going to attack Xishan Town?" Chu Xisheng's lips twitched slightly: "Liu Dingtang's foundation is deep, and a strong attack is absolutely not advisable! This time, we might as well attack him and save him, besiege the city and fight for help."
Chu Yunyun was by the side, her expression remained silent.
But when she heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Chu Xisheng.I wondered, this guy actually knows the art of war?Is it because of his grandfather?
The people present couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.
Jia Dali didn't take it seriously, and the sarcasm in his eyes was even stronger: "If you attack him, you must save it? Can Liu Dingtang leave his lair alone and save other places? What a joke!"
"But what if we go fight here?"
Chu Xisheng pointed to a place on the map, which were two valleys at the southwestern foot of the Western Mountain.
"The [-] hectares of 'poppy hemp' fields of the county captain Shen Zhou! This is one of the lifeblood of the Shen family. We set fire to the fields here. Do you think Liu Dingtang will save it? Also, the Shen family is still engaged in human trafficking. The smuggling business of all kinds of forbidden items, there are more than a dozen warehouses of their family here, and the value is difficult to measure."
Jia Dali was stunned for a while, his eyes gradually brightened: "You can try it! Shen Zhou put Liu Dingtang here to let this person take care of his property."
He found that Chu Xisheng didn't just speak with one mouth.
Poppy Ma is a low-level spiritual herb. Some people make tobacco from it and become addicted to it.
When addicted to this thing, the person is tearful, his hands and feet are so tired that he can't lift it, even if the white knife is in front of him, and the leopard and tiger are in the back, he has to bow his head and suffer death.
Therefore, when the Taizu of Daning founded the country, he set up a ban on the cultivation of opium and hemp and the smoking of opium in all parts of the world.
Up to now, Taizu's prohibition has been abolished.However, Shen Zhou still didn't dare to plant opium and hemp openly, so he chose Xishan, a deserted and uninhabited place where monsters and beasts were rampant.
Jia Dali frowned immediately: "But in this way, the county soldiers under Shen Zhou's command may fight us desperately."
Chu Xisheng laughed dumbly: "If we attack Xishan Town directly, won't they fight? And I know the terrain around here. If the county soldiers want to rescue Shen Zhou's poppy field, they have to pass through this gorge."
He suddenly drew his saber, and stabbed it on the map: "The terrain here is one man's gate, ten thousand men can't open it! If they dare to come, Chu and Brother Jia will bear it shoulder to shoulder, and it will be enough to kill them!"
He clenched his hands tightly, sensing the evil spirit in his body, and boundless confidence and fighting spirit grew in his body.
Jia Dali was stunned for a while, there are thousands of county soldiers!
What should the two of them do?Although he was at the sixth rank, he couldn't kill so many people even if he was exhausted.
What's more, the opponent is not without masters.
(End of this chapter)
When Chu Xisheng received the letter from Wu Meiniang, he had already arrived at the east pier of the city.
Perhaps to mend the relationship, Wu Meiniang not only informed Liu Ruoxi's location, but also used a "Flying Sword of Heaven and Earth" to send all the information from Xishan Hall up to the hall master "Iron Hand" Liu Dingtang, down to the bottom-level helpers. In front of Chu Xisheng.
Chu Xisheng first picked out the information about Liu Ruoxi and glanced at it.
His pupils shone slightly, showing a hint of sternness.
Chu Yunyun snatched the rice paper away, then rubbed the paper into powder expressionlessly.
"He has a lot of guts."
At this time, she seemed to have no abnormalities, but the river beside her was already 'gurgling', and countless fish and shrimps floated up with their belly turned white.
Someone nearby saw it and fished it with his hands, and then cursed in disbelief: "It's so hot! It's so weird, the water seems to be boiling? The fish and shrimp are all cooked."
Chu Xisheng frowned, looking at Chu Yunyun fixedly.
The girl also knew something was wrong, and tried her best to restrain her martial intentions.
However, the violent thoughts in her heart could not be suppressed no matter how much she suppressed.
Wu Meiniang said that two days ago, Liu Ruoxi was brought to Xishan Town by the Haiqing Gang and sent to Xiufang Building.
It was a brothel opened by the Haiqing Gang in Xishan Town, specializing in the business of hunters in Xishan.
Liu Ruoxi was not very tame, so she was 'disciplined' by the bustard of Xiufanglou.
On the first day Liu Ruoxi was sent there, she was beaten with fifty lashes.Then naked, wearing only a bellyband, hanging in the lobby of the building for people to 'watch'.
Chu Yunyun has never met Liu Ruoxi.
She just read these words and knew the pain and humiliation that Liu Ruoxi was suffering at this time.
Chu Yunyun was already furious because of the bad news about the magic strategy, but now she was even more angry.
She rarely has such a strong killing intent, wanting to kill a person.
Chu Xisheng continued to look at the next few sheets of rice paper.
After carefully reading the content, he raised his eyebrows and eyes slightly, showing satisfaction.
In fact, Chu Xisheng didn't have any complaints against Wu Meiniang. Wu Meiniang's actions that night at Zhiweiju were all human nature, and she was already very loyal.
However, the information provided by Wu Meiniang made Chu Xisheng even more profitable.
Chu Xisheng casually stuffed a 500 tael silver bill into the hilt of the 'Qiankun Flying Sword', and then slapped the hilt of the sword, causing the flying sword to be pulled up in the air and sprint towards the other side of the river. go away.
After watching the flying sword go away, Chu Xisheng went to the headquarter of the Iron Banner Gang.
It was a huge ship of ten thousand stones, just docked beside the shore.
A big iron flag was erected in the center of the big ship, waving fiercely.
As soon as Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun approached, the nearby Iron Banner gang members noticed it.
When they saw Chu Xisheng, they were all pleasantly surprised, and they all saluted him: "We welcome Chu Shaoxia!"
"Go quickly and tell the banner owner that a distinguished guest is coming today."
"—I heard about Chu Shaoxia's reputation from the vice-banner leader a few months ago, why did the young man come here now?"
"What young hero? This is the nephew recognized by the banner owner. He wants to call him brother."
"When did Brother Chu join our Iron Banner Gang? In the battle of Zhiweiju that day, Brother Chu's demeanor in fighting Baiyunzhai alone, I remember it vividly and admire it for a long time!"
These Iron Banner gangs rushed over one after another, all of them looked friendly and smiling.
Chu Xisheng was emotionally agitated, and he clasped his fists at these people in return: "Ashamed! Chu should have come here to thank you brothers. If it weren't for the help of Tieqi, Chu's bones would have been cold!"
Just as he returned the gift, a loud laugh came from afar.
"It's really a distinguished guest!"
It was Iron Maniac. He was wearing red heavy armor, but he flew twenty feet into the air with ease, and landed in front of Chu Xisheng.
Behind him, there are two people following.
One was about forty, his face was purple, about seven feet tall, his figure was as thin as a bamboo pole, and a soft sword was wrapped around his waist.
The other person, also wearing heavy armor, was 26 and seven years old, with a burly figure.This person has a majestic face, handsome features, black hair knotted at the forehead, which looks like two protruding horns.
Chu Xisheng first took a look at the heavy rune armor on Tie Kuangren's body, and thought that this should be the battle armor 'Iron Buddha Tu'.
The pagoda comes from Buddhism, which means a pagoda, and also refers to a magic weapon with the effect of warding off evil spirits—it can make all evil obstacles far away, and make all evil spirits stay away when they hear its voice.
Rumor has it that Iron Madman's armor is of the third rank, with [-] runes engraved inside.
Not only is the defense ability extra powerful, but also the divine power to control Yuan magnetism and metal.
And if you kill one person in battle, you can increase your strength by one point.
Relying on this armor, Iron Madman is invincible in the county.Many fourth-rank masters are all defeated by him.
As for the two behind him, they should be Lin Shi, the leader of the Xiushui Hall of the Iron Banner Gang, 'Songfengjian', and Jia Dali, the leader of the Gushi Hall, 'Iron Bull', both of whom are the right-hand men of Iron Madman.
Tie Kuangren patted Chu Xisheng on the shoulder: "What? You came here today, just to treat the brothers to drink? Unfortunately, your Uncle Tie is not here. Come! Let me introduce you, this is my good brother, Lin Shi, the head of Xiushui Hall, this is Jia Dali, the head of Gushi Hall, my nephew. Even though he is young, he has been following me for many years."
Chu Xisheng grinned his teeth when he was slapped by Tie Kuangren's heavy palm, and he saluted the two behind Tie Kuangren first.
Then he clasped his fist at Tie Kuangren with a solemn expression: "My nephew came here today to join the Iron Banner Gang, I wonder if Uncle Kuang would like to give my nephew a bite of food?"
When Tie Kuangren heard this sentence, he couldn't help opening his pupils, showing a touch of surprise.
The surrounding Iron Banner gang members also exploded with a 'boom'.
Everyone's expressions were pleasantly surprised and excited, even proud.
Chu Xisheng was ranked No. [-] on the Qing Yun List!
The first battle of Zhiweiju was even more legendary in the ancient market, causing a sensation in the entire Dongzhou martial arts.
Such a character actually wants to join their Iron Banner Gang?
"Why don't you want to?" Tie Kuangren's expression calmed down, and he smiled softly: "To be honest, Uncle Tie and I have already prepared the position of hall master, and we are waiting for you, which is the rebuilt Fire Bone Hall .So if you don’t come today, we will come to the door in person in the near future and hire you to join the gang.”
Chu Xi raised his sword eyebrows when he heard the words, and suppressed the emotions in his heart, his face remained as before: "Don't dare! The so-called not being rewarded for no merit, my nephew is a newcomer who has not made a lot of achievements, and suddenly got a heavy job, my nephew I am ashamed to accept it, and I am afraid that my brothers will not accept it. However, if Uncle Kuang is willing to grant me the position of Hall Master of Xishan, my nephew will have a bit of confidence."
Tie Kuangren was taken aback when he heard that, among the twelve halls of their Tie Banner Gang, there was no Xishan Hall.
"Next is another thing my nephew wants to say."
There was a sharpness in Chu Xi's voice: "Recently, my nephew had some quarrels with Liu Dingtang, the strongman of the Haiqing Gang, and I want to borrow eight hundred soldiers from Uncle Kuang to settle the grudge with him."
Tie Kuangren couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly: "Liu Dingtang?"
Liu Dingtang, the Iron Hand, is not someone to be easily provoked, otherwise he wouldn't have occupied Xishan Town for many years, making it impossible for the Iron Banner Gang to reach out.
This man is so bold that in recent years he even dared to counterattack the Chengdong Wharf and set up a flag near the wharf.
Naturally, this is also related to the fact that the Iron Banner Gang's focus is on the Shenxiu River.
Chu Yunyun stood behind and looked at Chu Xisheng with a slightly strange look.
Chu Yunyun's original plan was to come to the door alone and beat Liu Dingtang to death.
This move risked revealing their identities, but Chu Yunyun had to do it.
That girl named Liu Ruoxi couldn't afford to wait any longer.She must also use Liu Dingtang's head to comfort the spirit of the old ministry in heaven.
However, Chu Xisheng's approach was more clever, leaving no future troubles.
Tie Kuangren seemed to have thought of something: "The grievance you mentioned is Zhiweiju, Baiyunzhai?"
As far as he knows, Liu Dingtang of Xishan Hall is not only connected with Baiyun Village, but also deeply connected.
The child did not know where to find out about this joint, and he was actually planning to attack Liu Dingtang of Xishan Hall.
Chu Xisheng didn't admit it, nor did he deny it. The corners of his lips twitched slightly: "Please ask Uncle Tie to borrow eight hundred soldiers, and my nephew guarantees that Xishan Hall will be wiped out within a day, and at the most tomorrow night, my nephew will send Liu Dingtang's head!"
Tie Kuangren was thoughtful when he heard the words.
Behind him, 'Pine Wind Sword' Lin Shi and 'Iron Bull' Jia Dali looked at each other, both of them frowned slightly, and read two words from each other's eyes.
An idiot talking about dreams is not ashamed!
If Xishantang was a soft persimmon that was easy to pinch, it would have been wiped out by them long ago.
Behind Liu Dingtang is actually a big family leader in Xiushui County, high-ranking officials and eunuchs, whose power is deeply entrenched, how can a mere 800 people solve it?
Jia Dali frowned even more coldly, making no secret of his dissatisfaction and contempt for Chu Xisheng.
※※※※
A moment later, the Iron Banner gang was at the helm, on the deck of the Iron Banner.
Iron Madman was wearing a battle armor, sitting on a square table with a big horse and a golden knife, drinking wine with a smile.
Song Fengjian and Lin Shi accompanied him, with a helpless look on his face: "You really borrowed this soldier, Chu Xisheng is young and doesn't know the heights of the world, and you are just as willful?
It's not that our Iron Banner Gang never fought Xishan Hall, what happened?Can you believe that Xishan Hall was wiped out in one day?I just beg him not to trap all the brothers in Xuanfeng Hall in Xishan. "
The eight hundred elites in the Xuanfeng Hall are the essence of the Iron Banner Gang.
It was Daofeng selected from the [-] members of the Iron Banner Gang, and the deputy banner leader Tie Xiaosheng personally ruled it.
Today, Tie Xiaosheng was not around, but Tie Kuangren gave all the eight hundred elites to Chu Xisheng.
Tie Kuangren didn't care at all, he also poured wine for Lin Shi: "Why don't you try it? It's just a loan for a day. If it succeeds, I will have another Xishan hall under the leadership of the Iron Banner Gang; if it doesn't work, You can also win a general's heart, this is a stable business, why not do it?"
"That being said," Lin Shi held the wine glass in his hand, but felt that the wine was tasteless: "How dangerous is Xishan Town? You are not taking the lives of your brothers too seriously by doing this.
I know you admire this young man, No. 60 Qingyun Tianjiao on the Qingyun List, and it is indeed worth your heavy bet to recruit him.The people who choose Fengtang are also our brothers and sisters, how can we favor one over another? "
Tie Kuangren smiled when he heard this, and said noncommittally: "Let me ask you, where is Xishan Zhendan?"
Lin Shi immediately raised his eyebrows: "There are many tricky places! First, there are so many masters in Xishantang, Liu Dingtang actually didn't raise a few masters, and he himself was only at the seventh rank, but every time he fought, he There are always some masters who don't know their origins.
Second, Xishan County Army!The county army stationed at the foot of the West Mountain as many as [-].Liu Dingtang's younger sister is the most beloved concubine of the county lieutenant Shen Zhou, so she is able to control Xishan with a seventh-rank cultivation.I led troops into Xishan Town two months ago, and Shen Zhou didn't care about his face, and directly asked his subordinate county soldiers to cover up with black cloth and fight us.
Third, six doors!In recent years, whenever we have conflicts with the Haiqing Gang, the Six Doors will always take sides and use various charges to throw our brothers into prison.
Fourth, those hunters in Xishan.The livelihoods of these hunters are controlled by Liu Dingtang and threatened by Baiyunzhai.It is a big trouble to pull thousands of men out of the mountain, even if they only work and do not work hard.
Fifth, the internal terrain of Xishan Town is complicated. With the help of Shen Zhou's relationship, Liu Dingtang purchased ninety 'Four-armed Heavy Crossbows', hid them in various houses in the town, and blocked the streets.These heavy crossbows are so powerful that even a seventh-rank martial artist can't beat them head-on. "
Lin Shi presided over the battle to attack and destroy Xishan Hall twice, but they all ended in vain.
Among them, the one with the heaviest casualties was the loss of two hundred brothers in Xishan Town.
Lin Shi looked at Tie Kuangren firmly: "Tie Shou Liu Dingtang's Xishantang has only over [-] people. But he has Xishan Orion as his base, and many aristocratic families in Xiushui County as his support. He can call tens of thousands of people at any time. The momentum is as firm as a mountain, unshakable!"
"But I still want to try!"
Tie Kuangren drank a glass of wine calmly: "Xishan Town is 55 miles west of Xiushui City, and less than 72 miles away from our east pier. Liu Dingtang sent troops from Xishan Town, and he could reach the pier in three quarters.
If this person is not dealt with, my Iron Banner gang is like a snake nailed seven inches away, unable to stretch out, leaving me with a thorn in my back.Moreover, our Iron Banner Gang has been fighting the Long family for so long, but there has been no progress, and it is time to break the situation.
Come on, hang up the recruiting flag!According to my order, within half a day, I want to see 150 gangs from upstream and downstream, [-] brothers who make a living on the water, at least [-] boats, and [-] heavy crossbows, gathered at the east pier of the city! "
Lin Shi was taken aback immediately: "Banner Master, may I ask what is your name?"
"Strive for Xiao Chu!"
The corners of Tie Kuangren's lips raised slightly: "You're right, Xishantang's biggest supporters are many aristocratic families in Xiushui County. I can't lend him my soldiers, so I just leave it alone. Watch it."
Song Fengjian Lin Shi couldn't help but look helpless.
Instead of persuading Madman Tie, he made this man put all his eggs in one basket regardless of the consequences.
The coolie boatmen in the upper and lower reaches of Xiushui County really appreciate the kindness of Madman Dai Tie and respect him.
But if it is used frequently, it will inevitably cause people to complain.
"Come and drink!"
At this time, Tie Kuangren added food to Lin Shi: "Little Chu, although I have only met him a few times, and we have known him for less than half a year, I already know him well. His character is far stronger than you imagined." Steady, and not like the kind of hero who takes the lives of his brothers for nothing, the two battles between Fire Bone Cave and Zhiweiju show that he has both wisdom and courage, so I trust him!"
Tie Kuangren picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Lin Shi again: "Don't worry, I've prepared a backup player. Even if he fails to win Xishan Town, the brothers in Xuanfengtang can return safely. So you and I are here Wait with peace of mind, and wait for the good news from Chu Xisheng."
※※※※
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Xuanfeng Hall were putting on their helmets and putting on their armor, and lined up in a neat line, marching on the official road to Xishan Town.
Although they come from gangs, they have the aura of an army, much more elite than the Tianping Army.
Chu Xisheng stood by the road, looking at a burly young man in front of him with a little surprise.
——That's Zhou Liangchen.
After two months of seeing each other, Zhou Liangchen's body frame has completely grown. Not only is he taller than before by half a head, but his shoulders are also much wider.
He looked like Xiong Wei, and he already had a bit of Zhou Xiong's mighty aura.
Zhou Liangchen's skin turned dark, black mustaches appeared around his lips, and his facial features became more serious, as if carved out of a rock.
"It looks like a different person. You were so handsome before, but now you are like a bear."
Chu Xi was amazed with a 'tsk tsk' expression, and looked puzzled: "How did you find me? You want to fight with me again? Then you have to wait another day until I can handle the matter at hand."
Zhou Liangchen put his arms around his chest, his eyes filled with anticipation: "I want to fight you again, to see how the gap between No. 90 and No. 60 on the Qing Yun Ranking is, so I asked Wu Meiniang to buy the news."
——Just over a month ago, Zhou Liangchen had already completed the family's direct method.
While he was promoted to the eighth rank in cultivation, he was also able to rank No. 90 and second in the Qingyun list.
"But I'm also here to look for an errand. I heard from Wu Meiniang that the Iron Banner Gang plans to open a incense hall for you, and you will be directly promoted to the hall master?"
Chu Xi heard the words, but was slightly taken aback: "Looking for an errand? You mean, you want to work for me?"
That is to be his subordinate?
The dignified son of the Zhou family, come to be his younger brother?
"The rules of our Zhou family, before the sixth rank, the descendants of the direct line are not allowed to rely on the strength of the family except for secret medicines. One needs to make money for magic weapons, battle plans, etc."
Zhou Liangchen touched the bridge of his nose helplessly: "I was thinking about finding a job to support myself anyway, so I might as well work under you. At least you, Chu Xisheng, are one of the most admired people in Zhou's life, serving under your command ,My pleasure."
Then he raised his chin slightly: "With my strength, it shouldn't be too much to be an altar master under your command?"
Chu Xi couldn't help having a headache when he heard the words, thinking that Zhou Liangchen's strength was more than enough.
The rules of the Iron Banner gang are similar to those of other rivers and lakes gangs.
Under Tie Kuangren and Tie Xiaosheng, there are three levels of bosses: Hall Master, Altar Master, and Fragrance Master.
The incense master is easy to understand. The little boss usually brings six or seven subordinates to offer incense to the "Loyalty and Longevity Emperor", so he is called the incense master. Generally, the strength of the ninth rank is competent.
If it is in the most elite 'Xuanfeng Hall', 'Xiu Shui Hall', 'Ancient Market Hall', and the 'Iron Banner Hall' directly under the direct control of the Iron Maniac, you will have a cultivation base below the eighth rank.
The altar master has more people under his jurisdiction. When offering incense to the "Loyalty and Longevity Emperor", the altar has to be opened, so it is called the altar master.
At this level, without the strength of the eighth rank, or even the strength of the seventh rank, it is unstoppable.
Then there is the hall master. There must be a large hall to accommodate hundreds of people, so it is the master of the incense hall.
Most of the twelve hall masters of the Iron Banner Gang, as well as the five halls under the direct control of the chief rudder, are at the top of the seventh rank, and only four of them have reached the lower rank of the sixth rank.
Even though Zhou Liangchen's cultivation was only at the eighth rank.
But he is a figure on the Qingyun list, with a strong talent, excellent magic weapons and battle plans, and super-strength combat power.Even if he encounters a martial artist under the seventh rank, he can fight with all his strength, which is enough to be the altar master.
The problem is that this guy is the son of the Zhou family, if he gets hurt somewhere, or if something happens in the rivers and lakes, how should he explain to the Zhou family?
Chu Xisheng's eyes hesitated: "If you want to come to my subordinates to work, I would definitely like it. The question is, do Uncle Zhou and your mother know about this?"
As soon as he said something, he felt inappropriate, which might have the opposite effect.
Sure enough, Zhou Liangchen frowned: "Where I want to work is my business, so ask them what they do?"
Then he looked at the group of heavily armed and murderous Iron Banner gang members behind Chu Xisheng, his eyes lit up: "This is the Iron Banner Gang's selection team? Where are you going to fight? Count me in." .”
Chu Xisheng had even more headaches.
He was thinking about how to refuse, when Zhou Liangchen who was facing him suddenly slashed at him with a sword.
Chu Xisheng's pupil light shrunk slightly, and his right hand was like light and electricity, waving an afterimage.
when!
With a muffled sound, Chu Xisheng's figure suddenly slid back more than a foot, but he actually used two fingers to directly clamp Zhou Liangchen's epee, making it impossible to move.
"—By electric finger?"
Zhou Liangchen was taken aback, his eyes became more admiring and fanatical.
In just two months, Chu Xisheng's strength has risen to this point!
The opponent can catch his sword with his fingers!
Sure enough, it is worthy of being the No.1 of the Dongzhou teenagers!
Only by the side of such a person can he sharpen his swordsmanship!
Only someone like Brother Chu can convince him and make him follow.
"I originally wanted you to see my current strength, my swordsmanship, so that Brother Chu should not worry about me. But Brother Chu's strength now surprises me even more."
Zhou Liangchen withdrew his sword and put it back into its sheath with a blank expression: "Your subordinate's position as altar master, Zhou has been determined. If you don't want to, I will follow you, inseparable, until you agree!"
He raised his chin, and put on an appearance of being determined by you: "Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky! If I die in a dispute between the rivers and lakes one day, it will be Zhou's life, and it has nothing to do with you, Brother Chu! My parents are sensible people and will not argue with you, brother Chu."
Chu Xisheng was secretly surprised that Zhou Liangchen's swordsmanship had indeed improved.
As far as he knows, the Zhou family's swordsmanship is more about intention than skill.
The family-inherited exercises practiced by the direct descendants are called 'Crazy Sea and Lonely Boat'.
What is important is to walk against the current in the turbulent waves, and to gain a glimpse of the true meaning of martial arts in adversity and danger.
But at this time, Zhou Liangchen's sword intent really has the meaning of sailing the boat on the sea and fighting against the world.
——This person's swordsmanship and talent are not only No. 90 on the Qingyun List!
Chu Xisheng put his hands behind his back and shook his head helplessly: "You can follow if you want, but I still have to ask Uncle Zhou what he meant afterwards—"
When he reached this point, a burly man galloped towards him on a horse.
That was the Gushi leader of the Iron Banner Gang, 'Iron Bull' Jia Dali.
"Fifteen miles ahead is Xishan Town!"
Jia Dali's face was dark and cold, and he squinted at Chu Xisheng with disgust and indifference in his eyes.
"How do you want to fight? It can be said, don't let the brothers be unprepared when something is imminent."
Originally, Jia Dali didn't feel bad about this person, and was even a little grateful.
In the battle of Zhiweiju that night, this man has both courage and perseverance, which is really impressive, and he also saved his life for his uncle Tie Xiaosheng.
The problem is that this person has just joined the Iron Banner Gang, and Tie Kuangren is going to confer on him the high position of hall master, keeping pace with him!
May I ask the chiefs of the Iron Banner Gang, which one was not punched, kicked, sword-knife?They are all real meritorious deeds.
Although Chu Xi was famous, she hadn't made any achievements!How can he be worthy of the hall master?
Just because Chu Xisheng was listed at No. [-] on the Qing Yun Ranking?Saved the life of Uncle Tie Xiaosheng?He Tie Niu Jia Dali has also been on the list of famous heroes!He also fought side by side with Tie Xiaosheng.
Especially what Chu Xisheng said to Tie Kuangren today made him even more displeased.
It is a joke to use 800 people to raze Xishan Hall and behead Liu Dingtang!
This person is full of rhetoric and nonsense, which is unreliable at first glance.
Tie Kuangren believed his nonsense, not only appointed this bastard to lead the eight hundred Xuanfengtang to attack Xishantang, but also appointed him here, saying that he was required to 'obey the dispatch and not disobey orders'.
Jia Dali actually didn't want to follow, but firstly he didn't dare to disobey his uncle's wishes; secondly, he was worried that this guy would bring many brothers from the Xuanfeng Hall into the ditch.
"Little brother has exactly that intention!"
Chu Xisheng strode towards a larger bluestone beside the road.
With a 'wow', he displayed a map on the bluestone block: "All the altar masters and above of the Xuanfeng Hall, come to discuss the matter!"
His voice was so loud that it spread throughout the front and rear queues.
Tie Xiaosheng's Xuanfeng Hall has ten altar masters and three deputy hall masters.
One of the deputy hall masters went to Zhoucheng with Tie Xiaosheng, and the other 12 people rode their horses to the bluestone.
Chu Xisheng secretly marveled, this Xuanfeng Hall is indeed the strongest part of the Iron Banner Gang.
These ten altar masters all have strengths below the seventh rank; the two deputy hall masters are above the seventh rank.
"Tell me, how are you going to fight?" Tieniu Jia crossed his arms vigorously and looked at Chu Xisheng with a sneer: "I can guarantee that before our 800 people get close to Xishan Town, one-third of them will be killed." Get caught by the six doors, maybe even I will have to go to prison."
He is in the Yamen and has a criminal record.
Although the government had no evidence to convict him, they had plenty of excuses if they wanted to arrest him and live there for a day or two.
Can't you just kill officials and rebel?
"Six doors are a real problem."
Chu Xisheng nodded slightly: "However, the special envoy of the Baihutang of the six gates is still in the county government office. This is a rare opportunity. Before I came, I had already discussed it with Uncle Kuang, and tried to make them have no time to attend to him."
Jia Dali was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then he sneered as usual: "Then how do you want to attack Xishan Town? Liu Dingtang must have received the news by now and is waiting in full force in the town. Not only is he a large number of people, but he has also set up more than 90 planes in the town The four-armed crossbow made us suffer a lot last time."
Chu Xisheng thought that the four-armed giant crossbow was really powerful. Except for Jia Dali, who was under the sixth rank, no one here could hold it.
but--
"Who said I'm going to attack Xishan Town?" Chu Xisheng's lips twitched slightly: "Liu Dingtang's foundation is deep, and a strong attack is absolutely not advisable! This time, we might as well attack him and save him, besiege the city and fight for help."
Chu Yunyun was by the side, her expression remained silent.
But when she heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Chu Xisheng.I wondered, this guy actually knows the art of war?Is it because of his grandfather?
The people present couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.
Jia Dali didn't take it seriously, and the sarcasm in his eyes was even stronger: "If you attack him, you must save it? Can Liu Dingtang leave his lair alone and save other places? What a joke!"
"But what if we go fight here?"
Chu Xisheng pointed to a place on the map, which were two valleys at the southwestern foot of the Western Mountain.
"The [-] hectares of 'poppy hemp' fields of the county captain Shen Zhou! This is one of the lifeblood of the Shen family. We set fire to the fields here. Do you think Liu Dingtang will save it? Also, the Shen family is still engaged in human trafficking. The smuggling business of all kinds of forbidden items, there are more than a dozen warehouses of their family here, and the value is difficult to measure."
Jia Dali was stunned for a while, his eyes gradually brightened: "You can try it! Shen Zhou put Liu Dingtang here to let this person take care of his property."
He found that Chu Xisheng didn't just speak with one mouth.
Poppy Ma is a low-level spiritual herb. Some people make tobacco from it and become addicted to it.
When addicted to this thing, the person is tearful, his hands and feet are so tired that he can't lift it, even if the white knife is in front of him, and the leopard and tiger are in the back, he has to bow his head and suffer death.
Therefore, when the Taizu of Daning founded the country, he set up a ban on the cultivation of opium and hemp and the smoking of opium in all parts of the world.
Up to now, Taizu's prohibition has been abolished.However, Shen Zhou still didn't dare to plant opium and hemp openly, so he chose Xishan, a deserted and uninhabited place where monsters and beasts were rampant.
Jia Dali frowned immediately: "But in this way, the county soldiers under Shen Zhou's command may fight us desperately."
Chu Xisheng laughed dumbly: "If we attack Xishan Town directly, won't they fight? And I know the terrain around here. If the county soldiers want to rescue Shen Zhou's poppy field, they have to pass through this gorge."
He suddenly drew his saber, and stabbed it on the map: "The terrain here is one man's gate, ten thousand men can't open it! If they dare to come, Chu and Brother Jia will bear it shoulder to shoulder, and it will be enough to kill them!"
He clenched his hands tightly, sensing the evil spirit in his body, and boundless confidence and fighting spirit grew in his body.
Jia Dali was stunned for a while, there are thousands of county soldiers!
What should the two of them do?Although he was at the sixth rank, he couldn't kill so many people even if he was exhausted.
What's more, the opponent is not without masters.
