Looking at the scene in front of him, Fan Hu was very puzzled. Why was it not the Immortal Palace today, but the Imperial Palace? Who were they going to interrogate?
While Fan Hu was pondering, a lot of people appeared in front of him. Some were holding chains, some were holding wooden shackles, and they were getting closer and closer to him.
Looking at the people holding chains in front of him, Fan Hu finally realized that something was wrong. They seemed to want to arrest him. What should he do?
When he was afraid, he heard the sound of chains. Fan Hu felt his body sink and his neck become cold. A chain was around his neck.
"I didn't break any laws. Why are you arresting me? I want to see the Emperor. I will go now. I know the Emperor must be in Xingqing Palace. " Fan Hu immediately grabbed the chains and did not let them pull him away. At the same time, he threatened them.
"Do you see the disadvantages of smoking cigarettes? A good person actually turned stupid from smoking. That's why you guys shouldn't try it," Fan Hu heard another person on the other side say.
He understood what they meant by smoking cigarettes. It was the thing he enjoyed. He suddenly remembered that he was enjoying his own life in the county. How could he appear in the capital? Fake, it must be fake.
But what was with the chains? They looked like real chains. These people in front of him dared to enter the yamen and tie him up with chains. Were they tired of living?
"This official is the head of a county. How dare you enter my residence and tie me up with chains. This official will punish you and throw you all into prison. This official will also take care of your families. Why aren't you kneeling down and apologizing to this official?"
Fan Hu, who was still in the yamen, became tough and shouted at the people in front of him, whose faces he still could not see clearly. It was impossible for him to appear in the capital. Of course, he did not go to the Immortal Palace.
While Fan Hu was enjoying his cigarette, the basin of water that he had asked someone to wash his feet was splashed onto Fan Hu's body by someone who had just come in.
The cold water immediately woke Fan Hu up. The scenery in his eyes returned to how it was in the room. He could also see the faces of the people in front of him.
After taking a closer look, Fan Hu became even angrier. Not only was he chained up, but the yamen's registrar and deputy district magistrate were also chained up. Both of them were chained up as well.
Not only were the thick chains around the neck of the Registrar Official and the deputy district magistrate, they were also chained to their wrists. There was also a huge copper lock that weighed about six kilograms.
He lowered his head and looked at the chains on his body. They were just as thick. No wonder they were so heavy. Who dared to come to the yamen and tie up officials?
"Why did you …?" Fan Hu, who was puzzled, pointed at the registrar and deputy magistrate, trying to figure out what was going on.
When the registrar saw Fan Hu's expression, he knew that the other party was still enjoying himself. He did not even see the symbol of the Strong and Healthy Seedlings Protection Team on the person's chest.
Shaking his head helplessly, the registrar official said to Fan Hu, "County Magistrate, it's over. It's all over. The Zhang Family and the Wang Family have found out about us. I advise you to tell them more useful information. If you can do something for them, they might be able to kill you quickly."
Although Fan Hu was splashed with water and woke up from the illusion, he was still a little confused. When he heard the registrar official's words, he asked, "Didn't the Zhang Family and the Wang Family come here before? They did not find anything wrong. Why are they here again today? "
"Because they're going to make a move today. The people in the reed marsh will probably be captured as well. Sir, you should hurry up and tell us. Don't you know more information? If you tell us, I'll be considered to have contributed."
The registrar official could only tell Fan Hu patiently. He knew that his crime was not serious enough to be beheaded because he only smoked. He did not do anything secret with the other party. The main reason was that he was not as important as the county magistrate, so he knew less.
After being caught this time, he would immediately push the blame to others. He believed that when this was over, his sentence would be lighter. He was just a person who did not report what he knew, and he did not know much.
"What secret?" Fan Hu asked someone else's secret.
"It's the people who contacted you. They always come at night and then leave at night. If you tell them where they are hiding, you can do something for them. Tell me quickly, I can do something for them too."
The registrar official continued to persuade him. For many days, he had discovered this situation. If he told them today, it could be considered as proof of his merit.
Fan Hu shook his head hard and said, "No, they are very important to me. I can't tell them. Otherwise, if they find Mount Lu and they are caught, I will lose my wealth in the future."
The leader who came to arrest them was Zhang Nan. Originally, he brought people to arrest the people in the yamen, but he did not expect to gain additional benefits. When he heard Fan Hu mention Mount Lu, Zhang Nan knew that there was still a group of people. Not all of them were in the reed marsh.
Fortunately, he had come. Otherwise, the people hiding in Mount Lu might have heard the news and left in advance. Although searching Mount Lu was not an easy task, he could think of a way to seal the mountain and not let anyone come out. Then, he could search bit by bit.
"Good, you have done something for them." Zhang Nan said to the registrar official. As for Fan Hu, in Zhang Nan's opinion, it did not matter if he did anything. His crime was too serious. To put it bluntly, it was treason. Not only Fan Hu, but even his family would be implicated.
After speaking to the registrar official, Zhang Nan said to the people who came with him, "Did you see that? After smoking, he became stupid. Take him and gag him. Don't let him make a sound. I will go back to find the young master immediately and tell him this important news. "
After saying this, Zhang Nan left in a hurry. Fan Hu, who was locked up, was still muttering, "I can't say. If I say, they will harm me and my family. I believe in their ability. They will definitely let me live a life of wealth. Mount Lu will not be a place where they will stay for long. In the future, they will come out, and they will come out with absolute strength.
Then … "No one in the Miao Protection Team had the time to explain to Fan Hu. They wanted him to be more clear-headed and see the situation clearly. This was because in a while, they would bring Fan Hu to the place of execution and continue to get more information from him. Otherwise, through the execution, they would see if Fan Hu was lying.
*****
When Zhang Nan returned to the courtyard, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were already ready to set off. Zhang Xiaobao put on a disguise again. He wanted to test the other party first. Wang Juan was going to join in the fun. There would not be many opportunities like this in the future. Who would create a secret organization to cause trouble for no reason?
After Zhang Nan told him the news he had received, Zhang Xiaobao looked to the west. That was where Mount Lu was located. However, they needed to cross the river, so it was not on the side where the lake connected to the Yangtze River.
After thinking for a while, he ordered, "Send a message to Xiaobei and the others. Tell them to rush over there as fast as they can and surround the entire Mount Lu. Send hot air balloons into the sky. Even if they can't find the other party immediately, they must not dare to eat cooked food and hunt in the mountain."
"The other party knows that a crafty rabbit has three burrows. Not bad. If the other party has stored tens of thousands of kilograms of food, salt, and oil at Mount Lu, it will not be easy to force them out in a short time. This is troublesome. Xiao Bao, do you think the other party has other hiding places and people?"
After Wang Juan 'praised' him for a while, she started to worry.
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head. He also did not know how many people the other party had arranged. However, if a large number of hot air balloons were dispatched, the other party would definitely notice if they had people outside. However, there was no other way. Whether it was to surround the mountain or use the hot air balloons, the result would be the same.
"I hope they don't arrange too many people outside," Wang Juan said again. Together with Zhang Xiaobao, she rode to the rendezvous point.
When they arrived at the lakeside, Xu Shan had already called for a large number of boats. There were ten boats more than the sixty that Zhang Xiaobao had requested. The people who rowed the boats were all local fishermen. Until now, they still thought that they were going to fish for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family's people who were searching the area.
It was not until they saw more and more people gathering from all directions, and all of them were armed that they realized that the situation was different from what Xu Shan had said. They were all stunned.
"Xu Shan, didn't you say that we should set off to fish here together? Why are there so many people here? And all of them are from the Miao Protection Team? "A person who was very familiar with Xu Shan questioned Xu Shan unhappily when he saw that the situation had changed.
Xu Shan did not care whether the other party was angry or not. Anyway, no matter how angry he was, he had to send people over according to the request of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family. Therefore, he said to the person who asked, "What's the difference? We're all working for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family. If I tell you the truth earlier, what if you're their spy?"
As soon as Xu Shan's voice fell, a person on a fishing boat that was following them plunged into the water with a splash. Circles of ripples appeared on the surface of the water, but the head of the person who had entered the water was nowhere to be seen.
As soon as this person entered the water, more than twenty people who were boarding the boat also jumped into the water. These people from the Miao Protection Team had already changed their diving gear to make it easier for them to swim in the water.
Not long after, the person who had jumped into the water was dragged out of the water by four people. This person could not stop coughing. He probably drank a lot of water under the water. At the same time, his eyes were filled with panic.
When the others saw this situation, they did not need anyone to deliberately remind them. They also knew what was going on.
Xu Shan and Weiwei opened their mouths and looked sadly at the person who was caught. She asked angrily, "Old Huang, you and I have known each other for so many years, you … sigh!"
The person who was called Old Huang lowered his head and did not say anything. The others sighed. They knew that Old Huang was finished. Even if his family was not convicted, they would not have a good life in the future.
"Did you see that? I told you earlier that we were here to help Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Family catch people. Old Huang would definitely find a way to leak the secret last night. Even now, there may be people among you who are with them. "
Xu Shan's confidence was boosted, and he looked like a wise man.
When the others heard Xu Shan's words, they all looked at the people they knew around them. It seemed that everyone was like Old Huang who had betrayed them.
"Everyone is here. Let's go." Zhang Xiaobao did not care about the people who were caught. He found a place to sit down and gave the order to set off.
*****
In the reed marsh, at the bow of a boat, Hu Liang and his eight brothers did not go in to smoke today. They had slept early last night. Today, it was not bright yet. They had something on their minds, so they got up and dressed. However, their belts were very loose, and the loose buckle was very long. They did not even tie their clothes. They just left it open, and there was no second piece of clothing inside.
They did not wear shoes. First, it was because there were not many people who wore shoes on the boat. Second, it was convenient for them to escape.
In the morning, the fog in the reed marsh had not completely dispersed. There were still dewdrops hanging on the reeds. It seemed that today was a sunny day.
The cabin, which had good sound insulation, was still full of singing and dancing. The people who came for entertainment did not have a regular work and rest schedule. There were people smoking, listening to music, and doing other things 24 hours a day.
Staying at the bow, Hu Liang and his brothers were a little nervous. At the same time, there was more anticipation in their eyes. Today, they finally did not have to continue to worry, so no one was on guard duty. Just at the bow, the eight of them whispered to each other.
From time to time, the eight of them would look up at the sky. There were not many clouds in the sky. They just felt that the sky was very blue.
The people from the organization that they had fought their way in were also very surprised. They did not understand why the eight of them were so excited. In the past, the eight of them would wake up very late. Sometimes, they would only wake up at noon to eat and smoke.
"Soon, soon. There will be hot air balloons flying in the sky." The fifth brother felt that time was passing very slowly. From time to time, he would look at the position of the sun. The sun did not seem to have moved at all. The same went for the reflection of the reeds on the boat.
"Don't talk about this. If we talk about something else and someone hears us, they will run away early." The eldest brother glared at the fifth brother.
"Okay, okay. Let's talk about something else. Tell me, which boat is Sect Master Qi on right now?" The fifth brother immediately changed the topic. When the eight of them stayed on the boat, they secretly observed everyone's pattern when they had nothing to do.
For example, the Sect Master Qi they were talking about was the leader they had met after coming here. They realized that Sect Master Qi would not stay on the same boat for too long every day. Moreover, there were times when he would go out. There was no pattern when he went out, and it was the same when he came back.
The eight of them woke up early in the morning to help Zhang Xiaobao catch the person more smoothly. They wanted to see if Sect Master Qi had left. If he was not, then things would be very troublesome. If he was, then it would be best to find out which boat he was on. When they arrived, they would point him out to prevent Sect Master Qi from taking advantage of the chaos to escape.
"Last night, I saw Sect Master Qi on boat number one. According to his usual pattern, he would change boats every four hours. It should be around eight hours now. Either he just changed to boat number three or boat number two, or he is planning to change boats.
Unless he is different today, then he will change to boat number one. We just need to keep an eye on the boat below us and boat number two. Otherwise, we can find an excuse and ask to see him. Then we will know where he is. "
Third Brother observed very carefully and casually mentioned Sect Master Qi's pattern.
Hu Liang waved his hand and said, "It's better not to look for him in case he notices something. He is really vigilant. Even if he is sleeping, as long as four hours have passed, he will definitely get up and change boats before continuing to sleep.
Fortunately, the person who came was Xiao Bao. Otherwise, oh, let's not talk about this. "
As they spoke, Hu Liang found that they were unknowingly talking about actions again. He quickly changed his words and changed to the topic of fish in the water. The other seven people also cooperated and occasionally argued.
Just as they were happily talking, the Sect Master Qi they were talking about just now walked out of the cabin of the boat they were on. He was already dressed and seemed to be planning to change to another boat.
When Sect Master Qi walked out and saw the eight of them, a warm smile appeared on his face. He walked over to the eight of them and asked with concern, "Did you rest well last night?"
"Yes, the chef on the boat cooked well. We even drank some wine before we went to sleep. I had a dreamless night. Sect Master Qi, what do you want us to do today?"
Hu Liang revealed a humble smile and slightly bowed as he spoke to Sect Master Qi. In his heart, he was cursing Sect Master Qi over and over again. He now understood Sect Master Qi very well. Don't look at how he usually had a face full of smiles when he met anyone, his heart was actually very ruthless.
Ever since they broke in, they saw six people being tortured to death by Sect Master Qi. Even though they were members of the organization, Sect Master Qi wouldn't forgive them even if they made the slightest mistake. If the eight of them hadn't brought something over and didn't reveal any flaws, Sect Master Qi would probably have killed them the moment he saw them.
Sect Master Qi did not know what Hu Liang and the eight of them were thinking, but he knew what impression they had of him was deliberately created by him. It was to make others fear him and worry about him at all times, so that they would not dare to have any other thoughts. Through this, he could achieve his goal of ruling.
"Good, it's good that you slept well. You are all people with merits. When we go back, there will be other rewards for you. I heard that three days ago, you found the Second Steward and wanted to change to a more tiring job. The Second Steward told me about it, but I did not agree.
It's not that I don't trust you, but I am afraid that you will be tired. You risked your lives to get the two gun blueprints from the Zhang Family and Wang Family. I have to reward you properly.
First of all, I can't let you do work that is too tiring. Since you came back, you can be considered to have been enjoying life. When there is something that others can't handle, they will naturally come to you. You are all very capable, so I can't let you use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
For now, you can enjoy yourselves. If there is anything you need, just tell the other workers. Other than not letting you leave and being caught if you are discovered, you can ask for anything else. Even if it is difficult to find food, I will think of a way to find it for you. "
Sect Master Qi had a caring look on his face as he spoke of not letting Hu Liang and the eight of them work. He even reached out and patted Hu Liang's shoulder lightly.
"Yes, thank you Sect Master Qi for thinking so highly of us. In the future, we will work even harder. We are already eating well. Our sect's wealth and people cannot be wasted on us. We have no other requests. Sect Master Qi, take care."
Seeing that Sect Master Qi was about to leave, Hu Liang thanked him gratefully. He bowed even more and respectfully sent Sect Master Qi off.
Just as Sect Master Qi was about to board the small boat and switch to another big boat, the cry of a water bird came from afar. Hearing the sound, Sect Master Qi frowned and vigilantly looked at the 'road' that the boat used to enter the reed marsh. His eyes were filled with suspicion.
Hu Liang and the others were shocked when they heard the cry of the water bird. They were very clear that the cry was not the sound of the water birds in the lake, but was made by a person.
In the past few days, the eight of them had understood the meaning of the various sounds. The current sound was that the person in front had discovered a boat of unknown origin and was rapidly approaching them.
Hu Liang and the others could not guess whether the boat was sent by Zhang Xiaobao or not. If it was, why was there only one boat? Could it be that Zhang Xiaobao did not have any manpower to use? Or was it to beat the grass and scare the snake? If it really came to beat the grass, wouldn't the person run away? Moreover, there were no hot air balloons in the sky.
If it was not, then what boat was approaching? After the eight of them came here, they had not seen any boat that was not related to the organization. It couldn't be so coincidental, right?
Just as the eight of them were bewildered, the cry of a water bird entered their ears. The eight of them had never heard this before, so they were even more uncertain about who the boat was. At the same time, they were faintly worried.
When Sect Leader Qi heard the sound, his frown deepened. He muttered, "What is he doing here? Instead of staying in Hangzhou, he came to me. Could it be that he wants to seize my authority? Jiangzhou was indeed his original base, but now most people have started to follow me. Hmph, if he really wants to seize power, then leave your people behind. "
When Hu Liang and the others heard Sect Leader Qi's voice, they had a plan in their hearts. It seemed that the person who came was from Hangzhou. When they were in Hangzhou, they had seen Shan Feng, but they did not know who was in charge in Hangzhou.
Of course, what was even more unclear was that the person in Hangzhou actually had a base in Jiangzhou before. Now, it seemed that he had been taken over, and most people listened to Sect Leader Qi.
They did not know if the person who came had seen Xiao Bao's arrangement. If he did, he would have to tell Sect Leader Qi, and Xiao Bao and the others would end up with nothing.
If he did not see it, then it would be great. Once Xiao Bao's people came, not only would they capture Sect Leader Qi, but they would also capture an important person in Hangzhou.
The eight of them began to look forward to it.
This time, Sect Master Qi didn't change ships. He waited on his current ship, wanting to see the purpose of the other party's arrival. At the same time, he whispered a few words into the ears of the person protecting him. That person got off the small boat and rowed towards another large ship.
After waiting for about half an hour, they could faintly see a boat rowing towards them through the gaps in the reeds. As for what the people on the boat looked like, they could not see for the time being.
As the sound of rowing approached, a small boat passed through the reeds and approached the big boat. At this moment, the people on the big boat could see clearly that there were only two people on the boat. The small boat was a fishing boat that the locals usually used to fish.
There was a shed on the boat, but the back of the shed was now open. When the light shone in, they could see that there was no one else inside.
The two people on the small boat were a man and a woman. The man's beard swayed in the wind, and he wore a light yellow silk robe. The woman had bright eyes and white teeth, and she was very beautiful. Her hair was combed into clouds, and a golden hairpin was inserted in her hair. A pearl chain dangled from it, and it swayed slightly.
When they saw the man, the people on the boat did not have any extra expression, but when they saw the woman, their eyes lit up. Some even swallowed their saliva. This woman not only had a beautiful face, but also a beautiful figure. Unfortunately, they did not know her at all.
Sect Leader Qi also set his eyes on the woman. He also wanted to get close to her. As for the man, he did not have any intention to get close to him.
Soon, the boat approached. Sect Leader Qi waited for the two people to board the big boat one after another. He smiled and said, "Sect Leader Ning, what wind blew you here? I was wondering why I was in such a good mood today. It turns out that we have an honoured guest. Who is this …?"
Sect Leader Qi greeted the man with a welcoming look. Then, he looked at the woman and asked in confusion.
The man also chuckled and said, "You're welcome. I'm not an honoured guest. If I don't go out, I'll be bored at home all the time. Since there's nothing else, I'll go home and have a look. She, she's a new person I found. Although she's a woman, her skills are not small. In fact, she was sent from Japan. I'm teaching her how to speak the language here.
It's very interesting. "The woman immediately greeted Sect Leader Qi in Japanese. She looked very shy, but her voice was very gentle, making people feel comfortable.
Sect Leader Qi's eyes lit up. He nodded and greeted the woman, but when he saw the man in front of him again, the good mood that had just appeared disappeared.
He had already heard from the other party's words that the other party did not intend to give up this foundation. He still wanted to be like before. With a command, everyone would submit. Of course, what he just said was also to tell the other party that Jiangzhou was no longer the other party's world. He could come, but only as a guest.
Sneering in his heart, Sect Leader Qi asked the man, "Sect Leader Ning, I wonder why you're here? You still need to personally oversee Hangzhou. Don't be careless. "
His words expressed the meaning of a superior to a subordinate. It was both a question and an assignment.
"It's not a big deal. I just came back to see how you've done. I've seen it in Dou Chang. It's okay. I'm quite satisfied with what you've done. When it's time to reward you, you should have a big contribution."
The man smiled and praised Sect Leader Qi. This time, not only was Sect Leader Qi dissatisfied, but the other people who followed him to protect him also glared at him.
Hu Liang and the others did not leave. After hearing the conversation between the two of them, they were very happy. Fight, fight with all your might. The deeper the conflict, the better. Who knows, they might be able to find more clues and tell Xiaobao.
Sect Leader Qi was obviously angry. The smile on his face disappeared and he said in a flat tone, "We'll talk about it later. Right now, things haven't been settled. Did you think of a way to deal with the women of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family in Hangzhou? Li Longji is also there. You can't miss this opportunity.
You have to grasp it. Otherwise, when things are done, others won't agree to you even if you want to get credit. Even if I put in a good word for you, the result will be the same. Go inside. "
After reprimanding the man, Sect Leader Qi turned around and walked into the cabin. The man behind him also walked in, but he seemed to have discovered something strange. He turned his head and looked at Hu Liang and the others. He seemed to be in deep thought, then he pointed at the eight people and said, "That's right, Sect Leader Qi.
"You … Weren't you captured by the Zhang Family and the Wang Family when you were on the canal? Why are you here now? Sect Leader Qi, do you know the people of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family? Why do you care about the people they captured? "
When the man said this, he had a vigilant look on his face. He put his hand on his waist, where a sword was hanging. The woman pulled out two daggers from her sleeves and glanced back and forth at the people beside Sect Leader Qi.
Sect Leader Qi turned around and sneered. He said, "Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are close. Not to mention the people they captured, even if you asked them to assassinate Li Longji now, they would agree. Humph, you don't know what happened in Hangzhou. Let's go inside first."
After saying this, he walked into the cabin again, not caring whether the man would follow him or not.
The man stared and put his hand down from his waist again. At the same time, he gave the woman beside him a look. The woman also put the dagger back into her sleeve.
The man looked at Hu Liang and the other eight people again and said, "The eight of you follow me in. I have something to ask you."
After saying this, he and the woman next to him walked into the cabin.
Hu Liang and the other eight people were in a difficult situation. They didn't want to go in. They were still waiting for Zhang Xiaobao's people to come. They had jumped into the water to avoid being attacked by the people on the boat. If they went in and Zhang Xiaobao's people came, what would they do? Not to mention seeing the hot air balloons in the sky.
Although they were in a difficult situation, they didn't dare to object. What if the other party didn't get along with Sect Leader Qi and couldn't take care of him? What if he vented his anger on them?
If things didn't go well, it was very likely that he wanted the eight of them to go in and use them as punching bags at any time.
After weighing the pros and cons, Hu Liang and the other eight people very reluctantly moved their feet and walked in.
After entering the cabin, the noise immediately filled their ears. Sect Leader Qi chose a room that wasn't usually open to the public and walked in first. The four people who followed him also went in.
Then the man and the woman went in, followed by Hu Liang and the other eight people.
The space in the room wasn't small. It didn't seem too crowded when a group of people came in. There was a big table in the room with seasonal fruits on it. There was also an incense burner smoking, and there was a faint sandalwood fragrance in the room.
Sect Leader Qi sat on the main seat first. When the man also sat down, he immediately said, "Sect Leader Ning, how many days do you plan to stay this time? You can't relax about the matter in Hangzhou.
You'd better find an opportunity to attack the Zhang Family and the Wang Family, as well as Li Longji. Even if a woman dies, the Tang Empire will be in chaos for a while. If Li Longji dies, our opportunity will come. We don't have to make a small fuss like now. "
The man casually sat there and glanced at the fruits on the table. He picked up one and said, "There are tomatoes. Good, Sect Leader Qi is really capable. I remember that there are only two places where tomatoes can be found. One is in the greenhouse of the Agriculture Temple, and the other is in the greenhouse of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family.
Ordinary people can't get tomato seeds, and even if they did, they wouldn't plant them in the greenhouse. It seems that you really are very familiar with the Zhang Family and the Wang Family.
I've already made arrangements for the matter in Hangzhou. I expect that there will soon be some shocking news. As for you, it seems that you haven't made much of a move yet, but you've already lost an opportunity to assassinate them. Zhang Xiaobei and the others are still alive and well.
In addition, because your assassination failed, the Zhang Family and the Wang Family have put all of Jiangzhou under martial law, especially Xunyang. The entire city has been sealed off, and of the people we arranged there, not a single one will be able to escape. When the people of Xunyang said that they would dig three feet into the ground to find them, they weren't just saying that. They really dug. "
"I naturally have my own methods, but don't worry. The people of the Agriculture Temple don't know whose hands the tomatoes they took out will end up in. There's also no need to be afraid that they'll find out who we are and investigate you.
As for the people we lost in Xunyang, you can't blame me. I wasn't in charge of this matter, or else we wouldn't have failed. It was the people you left behind who were incompetent. But this time is also good. Now that something has happened, we can clean up those incompetent people.
We don't need trash, whether it's the trash working at the bottom or the key figures. Those who can't do anything should consciously give up their authority so as to avoid delaying matters. "
Sect Master Qi leaned back, his gaze slanting down at the man as he spoke, his voice brimming with dissatisfaction.
The man, Weiwei, stared blankly for a moment, then nodded in understanding. "Oh! It truly was my oversight. In the future, I need to be more cautious when arranging people. I wonder how Lushan is doing? Xunyang's investigation is very strict. Perhaps Lushan's arrangements will be disrupted. "
"There's no need to worry about Lushan. Sect Master Yang isn't a piece of trash. The arrangements there are already more or less complete. As soon as I make my move, the Zhang Family and Wang Family will focus their attention on me. Very few people will pay attention to him, so much so that they won't even know of our existence at Lushan.
When the time comes, they'll immediately follow suit. In this way, the Zhang Family and Wang Family will be like headless flies. Hmph, everyone says that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are formidable. We'll let them know that they're only pretending to be formidable in front of ordinary people. Compared to us, they're nothing. "
Sect Master Qi sneered again and again. The four people in charge of protecting him also smiled, their hearts brimming with pride.
On the other hand, Hu Liang's group of eight widened their eyes in horror. They hadn't expected that there would still be enemies at Lushan. Even if the people here were captured, there was a high chance that the people at Lushan would escape. Who knew whether or not Sect Master Qi had the means to contact Lushan in an emergency?
For example, the eight of them had thought of setting fire to the reed marshes. As soon as the wind blew, people not too far away would hide there and be responsible for relaying information. They would use the fastest speed possible to inform Lushan of the problem.
'It's over, it's over. What should we do?' Hu Liang was worried. He looked at Sect Master Qi, then at the four people protecting him. At the same time, he didn't forget to look at the newcomer, Sect Master Ning, and that Japanese woman who everyone said was very formidable.
Finally, Hu Liang looked at the seven brothers and used his eyes to communicate. The seven of them immediately tensed up and adjusted their breathing.
Because from Hu Liang's eyes, they could see that the eight of them wanted to take action against the seven of them. Thinking about it, since the other side still had people in Lushan, and they were afraid that the other side would spread the news, then they should take advantage of this opportunity to subdue the seven of them. Wouldn't that prevent the news from spreading?
The eight people's expressions changed. The man sitting there and the woman standing next to him saw it. Sect Master Qi also didn't miss it. He glared at Hu Liang and the others and said:
"What's wrong with you? Now that there's nothing in the room, you can go out first. Wait for me to finish talking with Sect Master Ning. Then I'll let Sect Master Ning ask you. You dare to stare at me? Are you trying to rebel? "
Hu Liang took a deep breath, stood up and shouted: "We are rebelling. Surnamed Qi, we've been wanting to deal with you for a long time. Let me tell you, you're going to be finished soon. Come on, brothers."
After shouting, Hu Liang was the first to rush towards Sect Master Qi. Of the other seven people, five of them also went to deal with Sect Master Qi, while the other two rushed towards the man sitting there and the woman beside him.
"You dare? Kill them." Sect Master Qi was furious. He didn't expect that the people he suspected were really bought over by the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. Fortunately, he was careful and didn't give them such an important task.
However, these eight people really hid themselves well. If he didn't want to be cautious, even if he shouldn't be suspicious, he would still be suspicious. Otherwise, these eight damn things would have succeeded in their sneak attack.
Now, even if he dealt with these eight people, he estimated that they would have no choice but to bow their heads in front of this Ning person. Who told him to put these eight people on his side? Moreover, when he was talking outside just now, he even acted like a guarantor for these eight people.
Sect Master Qi's mind turned very quickly, almost thinking of so many things in an instant. The person responsible for protecting him had already stepped forward with a knife. Only then did he feel relieved. He looked at Ning Tian and the woman in front of him, hoping that the woman wouldn't get hurt. Maybe he could think of a way to get this Japanese woman.
However, when he looked in that direction, he stood up in shock and dodged backward. He wanted nothing more than to smash through the 'wall' of the cabin and rush out.
This was because he saw the woman put her hands into her sleeves. When she took them out again, she had an additional weapon in each hand. However, it wasn't the dagger that she had taken out before, but two pistols.
In his eyes, Ning Tian also took out two pistols in the blink of an eye.
Pistols, these were real things. He couldn't even get one even if he wanted to. There was no way at all. The Great Tang army didn't allow the use of pistols outside, only in the capital. However, pistols were never allowed to be taken out by soldiers.
That referred to pistols, but now, these two people took out pistols. How could they have pistols? How did they get them? More importantly, why were they pointing the pistols at him?
Sect Master Qi thought that Ning Tian wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill him and then say that he missed. In that case, the authority that he worked so hard to obtain would be transferred to someone else. Ning Tian would definitely be able to take the majority of the authority because he had a real gun, not the kind of gun that would take too much effort to shoot a bird.
Pu ~ ~ ~! Following four sounds that sounded like someone hitting a blanket, Sect Master Qi's four guards were all knocked to the ground. They didn't have any chance to resist, and all of them were hit in the head.
Not to mention that the four of them weren't prepared, even if they were, judging from the accuracy of the pistols, they probably wouldn't have been able to dodge. The result would still be a headshot.
When Sect Master Qi's four guards fell, Hu Liang and the others who were about to fight with the four of them were stunned. What was the meaning of this? Their own people had attacked first. Was this an internal conflict?
After the eight of them were confused, they hesitated for a moment. Then, Hu Liang gritted his teeth and continued to charge at Sect Master Qi. The people beside him did the same. They planned to hold Sect Master Qi down and see if they could negotiate with the newcomers who had guns.
The two people who were rushing towards the man and woman stopped. They were not stupid. They knew that rushing over would not end well. That was a real gun. Didn't they see how the four people's heads were blown up in the blink of an eye when they were shot?
Hu Liang and the others who were charging at Sect Master Qi thought that the two people would shoot them. In the end, when they restrained Sect Master Qi who wanted to resist but couldn't beat the six people, the two people didn't continue to shoot.
"Ning Tian, what is the meaning of this? Why are you hitting my people? If you don't hit them, you … you want power, don't you care about the proper matters of the organization? "
After Sect Master Qi was restrained, he first questioned the man sitting there loudly. Then, he said to Hu Liang and the others, "Good, good, good. You actually dared to attack me. I really underestimated you. That's right. What benefits did the Zhang Family and Wang Family give you to work for them?
I can give you more benefits than the Zhang Family and Wang Family. Also, I can protect your family and not let anyone hurt them. I even know where they live. Don't worry. "
The meaning of his words was a threat. He also offered a temptation. He hoped that Hu Liang and the others would let him go for the sake of their family. As for the benefits, hmph. Once he was safe, all eight of them would die. He would torture them to death bit by bit to vent his anger. It was the same for their family. When he tortured them, he would bring their family members to them.
Ning Tian, who Sect Master Qi was talking about, sat there and didn't immediately speak. Hu Liang looked at the two people with guns warily. He seemed to be talking to Sect Master Qi, but also seemed to be letting them know something.
"The Zhang Family and Wang Family have already protected our family. The people you arranged over there are all targeted by the Zhang Family and Wang Family. They won't give them a chance to hurt our family.
As for the benefits you spoke of, the Zhang and Wang Clans have given us a chance to be upright and honest Tang people. We will no longer believe in those deceptive immortals of yours, because we saw something even more miraculous on Xiaobei's ship.
That's true ability. In truth, they won't kill you all. As long as you stop your sabotage of the Great Tang, they'll definitely let you go and give you some benefits. After all, you're very formidable, and the Great Tang needs people like you. "
Hu Liang spent a lot of effort to persuade them to surrender.
At this moment, the man sitting there said, "Sect Master Qi, didn't I say that you would soon know about the shocking matter in Hangzhou? Now is the time. "
