I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 81
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.

If you look at it carefully, Chen Xiucheng's practice of abandoning the brothers who were infected with the plague is really against the morals of the world, but it is undeniable that under the current circumstances, this is the only way for those people to survive.

Unless Leng Yuanxun took the initiative to hand over the antidote, and this is undoubtedly a dream.

"But the soldiers guarding outside the mountain will never let them rush out." After a long silence, one of the hall masters said.

Those who can speak at the meeting hosted by Chen Xiucheng must be important figures in the Red Lotus Sect. However, when it comes to making a decision, these people basically cannot play a big role.

For this point, Chen Xiucheng has always had a clear understanding.

"So we need to organize a powerful team to cover the brothers infected with the plague from going down the mountain. In this team, there are me and everyone here."

Covering the patients down the mountain means that they will come into close contact with the plague patients, which greatly increases the possibility of contracting the disease, and they must always be prepared to charge, because this time Leng Yuanxun sent all the elites to guard the mountain,?But Chen Xiucheng told himself that he was not afraid.

If it wasn't for the little bit of luck in his life, he would have been killed just before he was born, before he had time to see the world. For the next 20 years, he followed his adoptive father through the rivers and lakes, and escaped countless times. After the teaching became popular, he resolutely joined, and in just one year, he went from a small clerk to the position of leader, relying on his ruthlessness.

He still clearly remembers the words that the old leader asked him when he was forced to abdicate: Why are you so cold-blooded and heartless.

This is the law of survival in troubled times.

This was the last sentence heard by the old gang leader of the Red Lotus Sect, and it was also the code of conduct for Chen Xiucheng's life, because he was different from the old gang leader who occupied the mountain as king. From the very beginning, his eyes were set on the supreme throne, He knew how cruel and cold-blooded the person sitting in that position was. If he wanted to defeat him, he had to be colder and more ruthless than him.

The set of loyalty in the rivers and lakes has long been outdated.

Everything he does is to maximize the benefits, even if he puts himself in danger, he will not hesitate.

However, here comes the problem.

Just because Chen Xiucheng is not afraid of death does not mean that everyone is not afraid. As soon as he said this, everyone in the room fell into a long silence. Although they did not express any obvious objection, the flustered and flickering eyes already represented everything.

Chen Xiucheng saw the different emotional changes of his subordinates, but he was not angry, but smiled lightly: "I don't need to say how dangerous this operation is, I think you all know it well, but for our red For the Lotus Sect, it is an excellent opportunity to be put to death, and anyone who doesn’t want to go can bring it up, and I will not force it.” Seeing that everyone looked at each other in dismay, he suddenly smiled slowly with an unclear expression, “As the saying goes Well said, live whatever kind of life you can afford, everyone, go out from here today, I, Chen Xiucheng, promise to treat you as brothers as before, but... from now on, there will be no one in the Red Lotus Sect. If there is any position for you, I will choose from other brothers for the positions that are vacated by you, there must always be a few people who want to make a good future."

Although Chen Xiucheng didn't make his words too harsh, the implication is very obvious. I must do this. If you don't want to, you can leave, but after you leave, don't try to get any benefits from me. .

Just kidding, whoever can get to the level of the hall master Xiangzhu in the Red Flower Club, who didn't put his head on his belt, participated in many wars, and got close to death in exchange for it, if he is kicked out now, his future will be completely lost. Moreover, most of Chen Xiucheng's methods of dealing with the old gang leader and his cronies have seen it with his own eyes. According to the personality of the leader, it's fine to fail. .

Thinking about it this way, the hall masters who had already taken steps forced themselves to stop in place, not daring to make any more moves. Anyway, they couldn't escape anyway. Instead of being killed by Chen Xiucheng at that time, It's better to fight to the death now, maybe with a little luck, he can be promoted to an official and become Chen Xiucheng's confidant.

"The leader takes the lead, and the subordinates have no reason to be greedy for life and fear death, so they must swear to follow the leader!"

I don't know who yelled first, and the others also echoed. The plan to break out of the encirclement and descend the mountain was decided under Chen Xiucheng's half coercion and half lure.

Chen Xiucheng is by no means a procrastination person. Now that a consensus has been reached, he immediately followed the instructions prepared in advance. He was divided into four teams and descended from the four directions of east, west, south, north, and south. As for those who did not get the plague, the troops were divided into two groups, one part went to the city to inquire about the news and waited for an opportunity to steal medicine, and the other part quietly returned to the village for further defense preparations.

Everyone infected with the plague has a deadly weapon in their hands, and this weapon is themselves.

This is Chen Xiucheng's final plan: a suicide attack.

If that step is really reached, the spread of the plague will inevitably be several times more violent than it is now. Even if Leng Yuanxun has a prescription to control the epidemic, it is absolutely impossible to take out so many medicines at once, let alone control the panic of the people.

Jade all burnt.

Chen Xiucheng has never been a good person. The reason why he went to rescue those victims before was because doing the right thing at the right time can just rightly win a good reputation for the Red Lotus Sect. The demonstration made the imperial court fear them. Now that Leng Yuanxun is determined to force them to death, he will drag all the people in Jiangling to be buried with them!
Of course, this was only his last plan, and he was not willing to take this step unless it was absolutely necessary.

Things are progressing smoothly, and those infected with the plague know very well that if they cannot rush out, there is absolutely no possibility of returning to the mountain.
All of them fought desperately, and the soldiers were afraid of contracting the plague, and they would rather give way than confront them head-on. In this way, the members of the Red Lotus Sect from all four directions rushed down the mountain smoothly.

After going down the mountain, the others continued to act according to the previous plan, except for a small group of people. These dozen or so people were all strong in martial arts, led by Chen Xiucheng personally, and their purpose was to sneak into Qingning Mansion and assassinate Leng Yuanxun.

If Leng Yuanxun dies and there are new disturbances in the Jiangling area, then the troops sent by the imperial court must be unstable. They are not good at water, and they will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. From then on, the Jiangling area will be completely controlled by him, Chen Xiucheng.

Do you want to say that assassination is a must?
Yes, everyone thought it was impossible for him to be so stupid as to use two identical moves in such a short period of time. However, it was precisely because of this that the odds of winning this move became much greater than before.

Victory is in danger.

Let's say that they rode the fast horses prepared in advance, and arrived outside Qingning City in just over an hour. To them, the mere city wall was nothing at all, and they quickly turned over under the cover of night. This is what Chen Xiucheng He didn't think it was strange, but soon he realized that something was wrong, because they entered the Qingning government office smoothly, as if they entered the land of no one.

Not right.

The days of licking blood with the tip of a knife for many years gave him a strong intuition about danger, so he subconsciously made a retreat gesture.

But it was too late.

The government office that was still quiet just now became brightly lit the moment he ordered the retreat. He couldn't see the archers lying in ambush there, but he clearly saw bows and arrows shooting towards them like raindrops. Xiucheng, the others, even though their martial arts were very high, could hardly escape from the dense arrow rain, and the screams kept coming and going.

"Leng Yuanxun, you are so cunning!"

"Compared to Master Chen's behavior of letting plague patients down the mountain, this son can't compare." After all the other members of the Red Lotus Sect died under the rain of arrows, the originally dim courtyard became brightly lit. Chen Xiucheng followed the sound, Leng Yuanxun was sitting on the pear wood chair in front of the main room, slowly sipping tea.

Obviously, he had made all the preparations early, just waiting to invite you into the urn.

False success.

No, he must not just die like this, there must be a way to escape.

Seeing Chen Xiucheng's gaze sweeping the direction of the roof calmly, Leng Yuanxun said with a faint smile: "Such a smart person as Master Chen, shouldn't think of competing with two hundred archers by himself, right? Well, even if you are lucky enough to escape from Qingning City, how can you go back to your cottage without a horse? Could it be possible to use lightness kung fu?"

The horse, as early as when Chen Xiucheng and others sneaked into the city, was taken away by the people Qingyang sent outside the city.

Although Leng Yuanxun had never met Chen Xiucheng, since he had made the Red Lotus Sect so powerful in just over a year, it was not difficult to deduce that this was a difficult opponent, so he surrounded him instead of fighting. Only force the opponent to make a move.

In a contest between masters, whoever makes the move first is tantamount to missing the opening first.

Chen Xiucheng believed that the underdogs would win, so he gave it a go. Unfortunately, he ignored a very important point. The reason why the underdogs were able to win was because they met arrogant soldiers, but the man in front of him was obviously not.

However, Chen Xiucheng is not someone who admits defeat easily.

He is no match for a large number of archers, but as the saying goes, capture the king first, as long as Leng Yuanxun is caught, he has the capital to give it a go.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiucheng's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he threw the long knife he was clenched on the ground casually, and said with a smile: "Sir Leng's move is really good enough, but it's a pity...it's not Chen Xiucheng A certain last hole card."

"Governor Chen has led the Red Lotus Sect for many years, so naturally he will not have only one hole card." Leng Yuanxun slowly put down the teacup, and said with a half-smile: "But no matter how many reliance you have, your own life is the most important. If it's gone, But there's nothing left."

"Winner and loser, since I was caught by you, I don't have anything to say. I want to kill or kill me."

It was too late to say it, and before the word "Bian" fell, Chen Xiucheng, who had no weapon in his hand, suddenly raised his arm, and then a few sharp sleeve arrows shot straight in the direction of Leng Yuanxun.
