Wushuang Wushuang Swordsman

Chapter 121 The Beggar Gang
After dawn, Hong Qi led the three of them to a branch of the Beggars' Clan in the nearby forest.

Now the entire Central Plains is probably only safe in the mountains and forests.

The dense dead wood in the forest covered most of the snow, and some simple sheds were built on the ground, just like a gathering place for refugees, dilapidated and dirty, really worthy of the name of the beggar gang.

There were not 500 people in the camp as Hong Qi said, but only a dozen people at most.

Hong Qi was very surprised. He thought he didn't see a partner who attacked the Jin army's camp with him. These people should have brought news back last night.

At this time, among the dozen or so people, an elder with a gray beard and nine bags on his body stepped forward and looked at Hong Qi in surprise.

"Hong Qi? Where did you go last night?"

Hong Qi introduced to Li Xuange and Huang Yaoshi: "This is Peng Yutian, the elder of the Nine Bags of our gang."

Then he said to Elder Peng: "Elder Peng, where are the brothers who attacked the camp with me last night? Also, where did everyone in the camp go?"

Elder Peng laughed and said, "Everyone of them suffered serious injuries, and they were exhausted when they ran back.

This icy and snowy place is really not suitable for healing. Elder Yu arranged for people to take all the heroes to a cave, where they are resting.

The other brothers, hearing that the Jin army had won a great victory, thought that there must be a lot of luggage in the Jin camp, so they invited them to go together to get supplies.

Anyway, it was originally something from our Central Plains, so naturally Jingou couldn't be cheap for nothing. "

Hong Qi felt a little relieved, and immediately said to Elder Peng, "These two are the chivalrous men who attacked the Golden Camp last night and beheaded their generals and burned their flags!"

Li Xuange and Huang Yaoshi still remembered to build momentum for Hong Qi in the beggar gang, so that he could have enough prestige to hold power.

So Huang Yaoshi said: "Brother Hong, you are being polite, everyone has different divisions of labor, speaking of it, you brothers from the Beggar Clan are willing to fight with their lives and carry out the most dangerous mission with you.

The two of us acted in chaos, but it was actually safer. In terms of credit, you should be the biggest. What's more, you were the one who proposed the plan to divide the troops. "

Hong Qi was a bit thin-faced, it was his first time to do this kind of thing of stealing other people's credit, so his face was burning hot.

Elder Peng said loudly in surprise: "So Hong Qi arranged for these two knights? Why didn't you tell us in advance!"

Li Xuange frowned slightly and looked at this person, feeling that his tone of voice was a bit strange.

This feeling doesn't seem to be pure surprise, but a bit of blame.

How can this group of fearless people who retreat before the battle have the right to criticize the warriors who dared to attack the camp?

Hong Qi casually said: "It's not because I'm worried about an inner ghost. If the Jin army has made various arrangements in advance, wouldn't this strategy of dividing troops and surprise attack be useless?"

Elder Peng was dumbfounded for a moment, and finally he laughed dryly, and said to Li Xuange and Huang Yaoshi, "The two heroes are bold and skilled, and I admire them! But I don't know how to call them?"

Hong Qi introduced: "This is Huang Yaoshi, the owner of Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea, and this is Li Xuange, the number one expert in Guanzhong."

Li Xuange's fame has more or less spread to the Central Plains, Elder Peng has also heard of it, and his expression changed slightly.

The dozen or so members of the Beggar Gang behind them also looked at each other, with a little bit of surprise in their expressions.

Elder Peng clasped his fists and said a few times, then said: "Hong Qi, let's wait here for a while, big guy. When everyone comes back with the supplies, we can last a little longer."

Hong Qi nodded and said, "That's the reason!"

"I see that you all have injuries on your body. It's freezing cold. Come in and warm up in the tent, and drink some strong wine to warm up."

Hong Qi smiled, "Fortunately, I ate some wolf meat, and it's not bad just to drink."

A few people entered a very tattered and leaky tent, but it was already the best tent in the vicinity.

The space inside is large enough, and there are blankets on the floor. Although it is very dirty, at least it is not in direct contact with the muddy floor.

A few people were informal, and sat down cross-legged directly. Mei Chaofeng sat in the innermost place alone, obediently listening to the adults talking.

There was not much wine in a jug, and it was warmed on the bonfire. After a while, it was already steaming, and the aroma of the wine aroused everyone's alcohol addiction.

Elder Peng said: "Supplies are in short supply now, and wine is also a rare item. Let's give it to a few heroes. Although I am greedy, I am really embarrassed to grab it."

The three of them each poured a bowl, and there was not much left.

At the last point, Hong Qi insisted on pouring for Elder Peng, and Elder Peng drank it up after a few polite gestures with a greedy look on his face.

Seeing this, Li Xuange started to drink, even more anxious than Hong Qi.

As soon as the wine entered his throat, he felt a somewhat familiar taste.

This is green ant wine, and it is a special kind of green ant wine that he once drank, which reminded him of the time in the desert outside the pass.

At the same time, his Five Poison Red Flame Body became alert, his blood seemed to stagnate for a while, and then disappeared without a trace in the surge of his inner breath.

This is a sign of poison in the wine!
He looked up at Elder Peng, he drank too, but he seemed to be okay?
Could it be that he took the antidote in advance?

At this time, the greedy Hong Qi was blowing on the wine, ready to drink it.

Li Xuange used the wine bowl as a cover, and said to the two of them with his strong inner strength, "Wine is poisonous!"

Hong Qi and Huang Yaoshi were startled, but they were able to keep calm, pretending not to know, and continued to drink.

However, they resorted to various means, using the cover of their sleeves, quietly poured the wine into their sleeves, and then looked at Elder Peng opposite.

Elder Peng smiled and said: "This wine is Green Ant Wine, a stock that a brother in the gang brought out from Luoyang.

The city of Luoyang was slaughtered. It is a pity that they will never be able to drink this famous wine outside the pass. "

Li Xuange's heart moved, "Elder Peng said that this wine was brewed by a certain restaurant in Luoyang City? Do you know who this restaurant is?"

What Hong Qi and Huang Yaoshi cared about was that the wine was poisonous, why Elder Peng poisoned it, they were very puzzled how could Li Xuange pay attention to the origin of this wine.

For a moment, the two even suspected that Li Xuange was playing tricks on them, Hong Qi glanced at Huang Yaoshi.

Huang Yaoshi thought for a moment, then shook his head indifferently to Hong Qi.

Elder Peng said: "I heard that the restaurant is brewed by a couple. They are from outside the customs and are proficient in some recipes outside the customs, so the brewed wine is particularly flavorful. Therefore, the business in Luoyang is very good and the reputation is quite large."

Li Xuange was basically sure that the restaurant was opened by Jiang Zhiling, she was already married, presumably her husband was the swordsman who followed him from outside the pass to the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, how long has it been since they finally chose to settle down in Luoyang?

Luoyang was slaughtered!

I'm afraid Jiang Zhiling and his wife are also in bad luck, but they don't know if they were among the prisoners of war and slaves rescued last night.

At this moment, Elder Peng's face showed suspicion. When Li Xuange knew that it was the onset of toxicity, he immediately fell back clutching his stomach.

Half propped on the ground, he pointed to Elder Peng and asked, "Did you poison the wine?!"
