That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 22 Ambush

After leaving Gu Qingci's mansion, Ling Qunyun and You Biyu hurried back to the Flying Eagle Gang, and quickly summoned the powerful figures in the gang to start the arrangement. However, all of this was done in secret. Although the gang was in full swing, except for Apart from a few hall masters, no one knew the specific situation at all.

  At night, You Biyu came to Ling Qunyun's home.

   "Brother, do you really plan to give 70% of the property of the two families to that kid Gu Qingci after the matter is completed? Those properties add up to several million taels!" You Biyu asked.

   "Hmph," Ling Qunyun sneered, and said, "Do you think it's possible? I just wanted to stabilize that kid first. After all, we still need his help now."

You Biyu suddenly realized, and said: "Let me just say, why is that kid next to him picking up such a big deal, but, brother, don't you worry about him making trouble? After all, he is also a county magistrate, and there are backers in the court. It’s not good to be reckless!”

  Ling Qunyun said lightly: "What if he accidentally dies?"

  You Biyu was startled, and said, "Brother, you don't mean to kill that kid, do you? But isn't that kid weak in martial arts?"

"That's why I asked you to come here," Ling Qunyun whispered: "When the time comes, when you go to support that kid, as soon as the Li family is destroyed, you will immediately kill that kid there, so that we won't be reckless." !"

"Understood!"

  …

   At the same time, Gu Qingci came to the mansion, and Ma Shilian also came.

  Ma Shilian has been helping to train the county government officials all day today, and he didn't find time until evening to quietly come to Gu Qingci's place.

The wind and snow all the way made Ma Shilian tremble. As soon as he entered the door, he hurried to the brazier. It won't be very high, not to mention that this winter, people like Ma Shilian who have been in the south for more than 20 years cannot stand this kind of weather.

Gu Qingci looked cheerful and said with a smile: "I said Shilian, your physique is not good enough. When the county government officers train in the future, you should also practice. Once you get your body in order, you won't be so afraid cold."

"Forget it," Ma Shilian shook his head hastily, and said, "My lord, you don't know that Pang Shilong is simply not human. Because of time constraints, he only trains the tacit understanding of the new officers. In his words, he hasn't trained yet, but I just I'm scared just looking at it, if I go to training, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death within two days."

  Gu Qingci shook his head and said: "You can't do this, you still want to enjoy the glory and wealth with me. If your health is too poor, don't work hard and enjoy it."

   "If that's the case, I will admit it, this is fate!" Ma Shilian said.

Gu Qingci smiled and said: "Well, Shilian, are you interested in martial arts? I can teach you the inner strength and mentality. Although there is not much chance of becoming a master, but it is a little bit to use money to become a third-rate martial artist. The power of self-preservation."

In fact, Ma Shilian's skills are not bad, of course, for ordinary people, because they scholars pay attention to the six arts of a gentleman, one of which is swordsmanship. In Gu Qingci's memory, Ma Shilian's swordsmanship is still good. At the beginning, the two of them When he came to Changling County, he encountered bandits on the streets. In order to protect Gu Qingci, Ma Shilian killed three robbers by himself.

Ma Shilian raised his head and said in surprise: "My lord, although I am not from the Jianghu, I still know a few words. The foundation of those Jianghu sects is the secrets of martial arts. If you pass on your inner skills to me, Are you not afraid that your master will trouble you?"

  Gu Qingci shook his head. He naturally knew about such things. Who in the world does not regard his martial arts secrets as his fate, but he is different. These secrets are not inherited from his master.

   "Don't worry about it so much," Gu Qingci said, "As long as you are willing to learn, I will pass it on to you."

   "Of course I would," Ma Shilian said, "If my family wasn't poor, I would have practiced martial arts a long time ago. What else would I study?"

   "That's fine," Gu Qing nodded and said, "I'll teach you when I've pacified Changling County and I'm free."

"Okay, okay," Ma Shilian nodded immediately. At this time, he was not so cold anymore. He sat up slowly and said seriously: "My lord, you really plan to cooperate with the Feiying Gang. You must know that Ling Qunyun is nothing. Good man, I know the history of this person, he is an unscrupulous person, I am afraid that he will turn his face and deny him!"

  Gu Qingci patted Ma Shilian on the shoulder and said: "You forgot, I told you before that my purpose is to eradicate the two clans and gangs, not just deal with one Cheng family."

   Ma Shilian is a smart man, and said: "My lord, you have no intention of forming an alliance with the Flying Eagle Gang."

Gu Qingci smiled and said: "In this world, there are no allies, only interests. If I guessed correctly, I am afraid that Ling Qunyun has already started planning how to calculate me after the event is completed, but it doesn't matter. He and I are just use each other."

   "Then, my lord, are you sure? Ling Qunyun is a first-class warrior!" Ma Shilian said anxiously.

   "Everything is under control!"

  …

For the next two days, Gu Qingci hid in the mansion all the time, including his servants, none of them left the mansion for half a step. In these two days, Gu Qingci exchanged for two Pusi song snake gall, Strengthened the internal strength.

He is now a second-rate realm, but he is only a beginner. The biggest flaw is that his internal strength is not deep enough. However, although Pusi Qu Snake Gallbladder has the effect of increasing internal strength, it is not Shaolin Great Returning Pill, and the increase is not very much. Huashan Xinfa is still on the seventh floor, but the progress has reached 75%.

Of course, he didn't do nothing in the past two days. He had quietly let the new guards leave the city in disguise, leaving less than a thousand people in the city. After all, he had to leave someone to cover Pang Shilong. The Cheng family couldn't be suspicious.

  The two thousand people who left the city ambushed in the maple forest this evening. Gu Qingci specially asked them to put on snow-white cloaks and hide in the snow. If you don’t pay attention, you can’t see it at all.

  Gu Qingci quietly left the city. He carried two swords on his back. They were two high-quality stainless steel swords specially made by blacksmiths. If he was going to fight here, the equipment must be properly equipped, and the chain should not be dropped at a critical moment.

  As for the masters recruited by the red sleeves, they have already been sent out early.

It's getting late, but the fluttering snowflakes are still drifting. Some people are coming out of the city, and some are going to the city in the wind and snow. In Changling County, there is a place called Maple Forest. Passing through the maple forest, it happens to arrive at Behind the Flying Eagle Gang.

The maple forest is very high, especially on the top of the mountain. Although you can't look down on the entire Changling County at a glance, you can see far away. Gu Qingci is carrying a sword on his back, and his white cloak is fluttering in the wind. At a glance, it is all white .

  In a vague way, he saw a city gate thirty miles outside the county seat of Changling County, which should be the city wall of Changling County, known as Qiling Station.

  Gu Qingci didn't appreciate the scenery for too long, so he went down the maple forest outside the mountain and ambushed with the guards. With him was Huang Pi, the second-rate warrior from the red sleeve move.

  Huang Pi looked left and looked for a long while, wondering: "Master Gu, why do I feel that the number of people is wrong, even the two brothers Liu San and Liu Si are not there, I clearly remember that they came out with me?"

Gu Qingci smiled lightly, Liu San and Liu Si in Huang Pi's mouth were the other two second-rate warriors that Hong Xiuzhao lent to Gu Qingci, and they had already been sent by Gu Qingci to do other things, but of course he couldn't tell Huang Pi, so he said : "Huangpi, do you know why you can live so long?"

   Huang Pi wondered: "Why? Because I have martial arts?"

   "No," Gu Qingci shook his head and said, "Because you are stupid and know little, so you don't have to die."

   "Uh..." Huang Pi's face collapsed, and he said, "Master Gu, why are you like my lady, my lady always says I'm stupid, am I really stupid?"

  Gu Qingci said flatly: "Stop talking about this, remember, you don't want to fight later, I will retreat when I call."

   "Oh, I got it!" Huang Pi nodded, and said again: "My lord, you still haven't told me where the two brothers Liu San went?"

  Gu Qingci suddenly narrowed his eyes and said: "People are coming, don't talk!"
