Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 243 Loyalty first
The young man slashed the long sword in his hand on the boulder a few more times, showing a continuous expression of anger, and then said: "Yes, someone is coming to kill me, to kill our entire Dongting water gang!"

Li Wenxuan was a little surprised when he said such a thing at this age, and said: "You can't talk nonsense at such a young age. The Dongting Water Gang has thousands of members. Who has such a great ability to compete with the Dongting Water Gang?" Man, I really can't believe it."

The young man said: "Why should I lie to you? What I said is absolutely true. Just today, the brothers in the guild have received definite news that Yang Yao from Dongting Lake will bring his army to fight in three days' time. Our Dongting Water Gang."

Li Wenxuan asked in surprise: "Yang Yao... is that Yang Yao who claims to be the Great Sage King?"

The young man said: "What is the Great Sage King? He is a traitor. Who else is in trouble with our Dongting Water Gang? He has countless strong generals, more than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and extremely tall chariots and boats. Although the Dongting water gang has three thousand members, how can they fight against his tens of thousands of troops?"

Li Wenxuan said sadly: "So, you are going to practice the murderous swordsmanship just to fight them desperately?"

The boy nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly the case. I want to protect myself and our Dongting Water Gang."

Li Wenxuan saw that the young man was very impassioned when he spoke, and he became more masculine, and he regretted that he should not blame him just now, so he said slowly: "But you are still young, this kind of fighting is different from usual They are different from each other, and we all meet each other for real, so it's not a joke."

The young man said: "I'm not afraid. I'm practicing sword every day. You just came here. You can teach me some sword skills. Maybe I will improve a lot soon."

Li Wenxuan said with a smile: "Swordsmanship is not something that happens overnight. How can I guide you for a while, but I can see the shortcomings of your current moves, and it's okay to give you a little advice."

The boy said happily, "Really?"

Li Wenxuan said: "Of course it is serious. I have already seen some flaws just now, and I can talk to you about it later."

The young man said: "That's great, as long as I have a master like you to guide me, our Dongting water gang will definitely win tomorrow night."

Li Wenxuan was about to ask him to practice swords so that he could give him advice, but when he heard that the flag will be won tomorrow night, doubts arose in his heart, and he asked, "What? The flag will be won tomorrow night? What are you going to do tomorrow night? What are you going to do tomorrow night?" Who are you going to fight with?"

The young man was also stunned, and shouted: "Oh, I made a mistake, I missed it, I was really careless!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to run, not caring about asking Li Wenxuan to teach him the sword technique.

Li Wenxuan felt that there were many strange things in the Dongting water gang this day, but Naihe couldn't figure out why, and now he finally saw some clues, so he would not let it go, and immediately stepped forward to block it. In front of the boy, he said: "You don't have to run, what are you doing tomorrow? Just tell me."

The boy raised his eyebrows, looking very determined, and said: "No, you must not say it, this is a major issue within my Dongting water gang."

Li Wenxuan said with a smile: "You tell me it's okay, I'm good friends with your Tian Gangzhu and Yang Tangzhu, I also met Miss Sha today, and I even paid a visit to your chief scoop leader Hu Gangzhu, you tell me I will definitely not go out and talk nonsense about my affairs."

The young man said: "The members of my Dongting water gang treat their friends with confidence. Since you were invited by our Dongting water gang, naturally you will not doubt you, let alone be afraid that you will leak our affairs, but we do things. I never drag my friends down, so I can't tell you even more!"

If he was afraid of leaking secrets, it would be fine if Li Wenxuan didn't know about it, but now when he said it, he was afraid of hurting himself, this time Li Wenxuan had to know even more, so he said: "Little brother, I can regard you as a friend. As the saying goes, sticking knives in both sides of a friend is about loyalty first. If you treat me as a villain who is afraid of things and refuse to tell me about this, then you are doing me very badly. If you don’t I treat it as a friend, I'm going to be angry!"

Hearing what Li Wenxuan said, the boy hesitated in his heart, and Li Wenxuan immediately said, "Just tell me, I'm also good at kung fu, maybe I can help you at critical moments, and I also promise , I will definitely not say that you said it in the future, okay?"

The boy said: "Are you really not saying that I told you?"

Li Wenxuan nodded and said: "Yes, I promise, if you don't believe me, let's give it a high five!"

The boy looked at Li Wenxuan for a while, and finally said: "Okay! I'll give you a message!" Then the two of them clapped their hands together, which was regarded as an oath.

The young man looked very mature, sighed, and put on a meaningful expression. Li Wenxuan looked funny, but he still held back. The young man said: "Since Yang Yao rebelled in Dongting Lake generation, often with There is a dispute between our Dongting water gang, over the years, in order to compete for territory and escort the river, many people have been killed or injured on both sides, do you know these things?"

Li Wenxuan said: "I know this. On the way I came here, I heard Tian Gangzhu and Yang Tangzhu talk about it for me, and our ship was almost robbed by Yang Yao's men."

The young man said again: "That's right, because there are often disputes, our water gang bought a large number of weapons, which is the boat you made, and the goods on board are the weapons purchased by our Dongting water gang. "

Only then did Li Wenxuan understand, no wonder Yang Yao wanted to seize those goods, they were all weapons. Yang Yao marched to fight, so naturally he was very jealous of these things.

The young man continued: "Our Dongting water gang hopes to use those weapons to strengthen our momentum and recruit more brothers into the gang, so that Yang Yao and the others will not dare to underestimate us, but unexpectedly, that thief Yang Yao actually used the This is an excuse, saying that our Dongting water gang will use these weapons to embarrass him. Today, the brothers of our gang have inquired about the news there. It is said that Yang Yao will send tens of thousands of troops to wipe out our Dongting water gang in three days. People are in panic, our water gang has been here for a long time, how can we be wiped out by them so easily, so our water gang can't sit still, many of the main figures of the water gang have already discussed it, and when tomorrow night, my water gang The gang dispatched [-] capable men to surprise Yang Yao's lair. It would be best if they could kill Yang Yao. Don’t dare to trouble our water gang again.”

After Li Wenxuan heard it, he thought for a while and said, "No wonder you practiced your sword late at night. It turns out that you wanted to participate in the raid tomorrow night, but the raid is very dangerous. I'm afraid that if you are not careful, your life will be in danger. Don't you Are you not afraid?"

The young man said: "I'm not afraid, a man is a man, how happy is life, why is death afraid!"

The young man's words were sonorous, Li Wenxuan talked to him a lot, and in the end he couldn't help feeling a little bit of admiration, and said: "Okay, don't worry, I will write down what you said, and I will keep it secret, but tonight is too late , you need to rest early, I will definitely teach you how to use swordsmanship in the future, how about it?"

The young man asked: "In the future? But I'm going to fight Yang Yao's headquarters tomorrow. If you don't teach me today, if you teach me later, it will be too late!"

Li Wenxuan stood up, took his sword, and saw that the sword body had bumped into several bumps on the boulder, so he held the sword in his hand and clasped the scars on the sword with both fingers. The bumpy place was straightened out immediately, and the boy who saw it was dumbfounded.

Li Wenxuan smiled and said: "Take care of the sword. The more you cherish it, the sword will protect you. Your current swordsmanship is not good enough, and you can't kill people. So don't go tomorrow, but don't worry, you won't go tomorrow , there will be a master to go for you!"

After Li Wenxuan finished speaking, he laughed, turned around and jumped up lightly. Before the laughter fell, he had already disappeared in front of the young man. He was left looking around, wanting to find Li Wenxuan, but he didn't see where Li Wenxuan went. .

Li Wenxuan lay back on the bed again, thinking clearly about the things that he didn't understand during the day.

At the beginning, he was very affectionate to himself, but then suddenly no one came to greet him in this place. It turned out that the Dongting water gang was in a big event, no wonder they couldn't care about themselves.

But when I think about my notoriety, these important figures of the Dongting water gang still value me very much, and I can't help feeling a little sorry for treating my lecture friends as guests, secretly planning, tomorrow night Dongting water gang If people and horses really want to surprise Yang Yao's headquarters, he should do his part no matter what.

Everything was clear, and Li Wenxuan slept very soundly this time, but after waking up, he still didn't see Yang Fan and Tian Guohui all morning, but this time Li Wenxuan was not anxious anymore.

When it was noon, Xiao Si, who was serving Li Wenxuan, came forward and said, "Li Shaoxia, Lord Hu, please go to the side hall."

Li Wenxuan asked: "Do you know why Gang Leader Hu asked me to go there?"

That Xiao Si just shook his head, unable to explain, Li Wenxuan didn't ask any more questions, and just let him go.

I saw Hu Yu sitting in the middle of the side hall, dragging his cheek with one hand, looking very preoccupied.Yang Fan sat at the bottom with sullen faces, both of them looked very heavy, Li Wenxuan guessed that the two of them were probably worried about the surprise attack on Yang Yao's water village tonight, but Li Wenxuan remained calm and pretended Zuo didn't know, so he came forward and said: "Wenxuan has met Chief Hu and Chief Yang, what's the important thing for you two to call me here?"

Both of them bowed to return the salute, but they didn't speak. After a while, the two wanted to look at each other, and then Yang Fan sighed: "Let me say it!"

Then Yang Fan stood up and walked in front of Li Wenxuan, first bent over to apologize, and then said: "Brother Wenxuan, our Dongting Water Gang is sorry for you, because of some of our private affairs, this afternoon, just... please Wenxuan Brother, leave our Dongting water gang for now!"

Li Wenxuan was taken aback, and said: "Master Yang, Wenxuan is not a cheeky person, but I don't know why? But what did Wenxuan do to make Master Yang and Hu help unhappy? Where is Wenxuan leaving?"

Yang Fan hurriedly explained: "Brother Wenxuan, don't think too much, it's not Brother Wenxuan's fault, it's actually because of our own housework, things are too much... That's why we have to ask Brother Wenxuan to leave for a while, if everything is wrong with us It goes well, I will definitely invite Brother Wenxuan to gather here again in the future, and I, Yang Fan, will definitely make amends for you with wine."

Li Wenxuan said: "Brother Yang, I know you are a very righteous person, but you are not straightforward enough. But what you said is so unclear, but I, Li Wenxuan, refuse to leave!"

Yang Fan had no choice but to look at Hu Yu, Hu Yu stood up and said, "Brother Wenxuan, I know you are also a loyal man, but this is purely our private matter, so don't ask, I can't implicate you."

After Hu Yu finished speaking, he took out a package from behind, put it in front of Li Wenxuan, and said: "Brother Wenxuan, this package contains 300 taels of silver, a little heart, not a respect, it can be used for your future traveling expenses, and another There are three letters, one is written for you, which can prove the innocence of you, Pinjian Mountain Villa and Fuzhou Security Bureau. If you meet someone who makes you difficult because of those things in the future, you can read the letter to them, maybe they will Seeing the old man's thin face, I believe you may be. The other two letters are addressed to Situ Lang of Pinjian Mountain Villa, and Mr. Yun from the Fuzhou Security Bureau. I have already explained the whole story of your matter very clearly. I hope They can be trusted. You just take these things and go quickly!"

Seeing that Hu Yu had planned so carefully and properly for him, Li Wenxuan felt warm in his heart and was very moved. He couldn't help but said, "Master Hu! You are so benevolent and righteous. Wenxuan admires you very much. You treat me as a friend. Now that my friend is in trouble, you But let me be alone, don't you trap me in injustice? Wenxuan is really hard to obey!"

Li Wenxuan's words surprised both of them.

Li Wenxuan said again: "To be honest, I accidentally learned about the Dongting Water Gang's plan. I know that tonight, you are going to surprise Yang Yao's water village, right?"

Hu Yu and Yang Fan were surprised at the same time: "How do you know?"

Li Wenxuan said: "How do I know, you don't have to worry about it, but the two of you are my friends of Li Wenxuan, and they treat me so righteously. When you are in the middle of employing people, how can I leave you? Count me in! I will go with you!"

Yang Fan immediately sighed: "Brother Wenxuan, you are a hero, please be respected by Yang Fan!"

But Hu Yu said: "No, this matter is very dangerous. You are not a member of my water gang. If you have something wrong, how can I be worthy of you? How can I be worthy of your father under the nine springs?"

Li Wenxuan said: "Master Hu, it's fine if I don't know about this matter. Since I already know, if I stand by and watch, then I will really feel sorry for my master under the nine springs!"

Hu Yu wanted to persuade him again, but Li Wenxuan said first: "Guangzhu Hu, stop talking. If you insist on not agreeing to me, then tonight I will have no choice but to break into Yang Yao's water village alone!"

Hu Yuxian was very excited, hugged Li Wenxuan tremblingly, and said: "Good brother! Good! I, Hu Yu, thank you! With your good skills to help, we will definitely kill him tonight without leaving a piece of him! "

Li Wenxuan smiled at first, but after thinking about it, he said, "However... Wenxuan has something to ask."

Hu Yu said: "Brother Wenxuan has something to say, please tell me!"

Li Wenxuan said: "God has the virtue of loving life. I am afraid that many lives will be hurt if we go this way, so I would like to ask Lord Hu to make some arrangements. We will try to hurt as few lives as possible on this trip. We must capture the thief and the king." I just need to grab a few important leaders, I am confident that my lightness kungfu is good, when the time comes to break into the enemy line, it should not be difficult to capture two or three of them, I don’t know what the Hu Gang thinks?"

Hu Yu laughed loudly and said: "Brother Wenxuan is so kind-hearted, they actually described you as a murderous devil, really wronged you, okay! I promise you, I will definitely tell my brothers to be as few as possible. kill!"

Li Wenxuan bowed to thank him: "Thank you, Chief Hu!"

Yang Fan said: "Brother Li, you said that you want to capture some important people, do you know who is the most important in Yang Yao's water village?"

Li Wenxuan shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I only found out about Yang Yao when I arrived in Dongting yesterday, but I don't know anything else about it."

Yang Fan smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll tell you one by one and just listen."

Yang Fan invited Li Wenxuan to sit down, and then continued: "In the early days of Yang Yao's uprising, the leader was not him, but a man named Zhong Xiang. Later, Zhong Xiang died in battle, and then Yang Yao made the first move. In order to win people's hearts, Zhong Ziyi, the youngest son of Zhong Xiang, was appointed as the crown prince."

Li Wenxuan said: "The important people you are talking about must be Yang Yao and Zhong Ziyi?"

Yang Fan smiled and said: "That's right, Yang Yao naturally needn't say anything, but if he can catch Zhong Ziyi, even though he only has the name of a crown prince, Yang Yao will definitely be cautious. In addition, besides the two of them, there is another person who is also important." That's right, that is Yang Yao's newly married wife some time ago, Mrs. Liu, on our trip, as long as we capture any one of the three of them, we will be done."

Li Wenxuan nodded and asked again: "I don't know what their skills are?"

Yang Fan said: "Then Yang Yao is a character, and his skills are very good. It is said that he is much more capable than the Gao Hu we saw yesterday. As for that Zhong Ziyi, he is just a complete idiot, with no other skills except spending time and drinking. Brothers also hate him the most! That Mrs. Liu is just an ordinary girl from a poor family, but it is said that she is very beautiful, and Yang Yao loves her more than his own life."
