Chapter 138
When Yi Tianhai and his wife arrived at the Hangzhou sub-helm of the Beggar Gang, under the instruction of Mo Shenggu, the disciples of the Beggar Gang besieged Song Qingshu with a dog-fighting array.Because it was a martial arts sparring, the Hanguang in Song Qingshu's hand had been replaced with a wooden sword, which was covered with white lime. Whenever a Beggar Sect disciple who was in formation was hit by the wooden sword in his hand, there would be white lime. At the fatal point of the body, he automatically withdraws from the dog-beating formation and the rest of the disciples take over to fill the position.However, the weapons in the hands of the Beggar Clan disciples were only covered with thick linen, even if they hit Song Qingshu, he would never allow him to rest for a moment.Mrs. Yi is also a member of the martial arts, and she has seen the dog-beating formation used by the Haisha gang against her by the disciples of the beggar gang. She knows that this dog-beating formation is extremely difficult.Therefore, if you fall into the formation, you must get out of it as soon as possible, otherwise you will be consumed by this formation sooner or later.At this time, seeing Song Qingshu using a wooden sword to confront the disciples of the Beggar Clan who were pouring in continuously, perhaps it had been a long time since the confrontation, and seeing beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, she couldn't help saying loudly: " Qingshu, don't love to fight!"
Song Qingshu, who was in the formation, just smiled wryly when he heard the words, and turned his gaze to Mo Shenggu who was standing aside with a stern face.He was a little distracted, and he was hit on the shoulder and back at the same time.Feeling the pain of the weapon hitting his body, he hurriedly regained his concentration and concentrated on dealing with the enemy.Seeing three disciples of the Beggar Clan rushing towards him at the same time, without even thinking about it, Song Qingshu used the "Boundless Sea" move in the Jinghong Saber Technique, and the wind of the saber knocked over the three of them in an instant.Yi Tianhai saw that Song Qingshu's saber was fierce and domineering, and he had already obtained the essence of the shocking saber technique, so he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, obviously quite complacent.Unexpectedly, Mo Shenggu frowned suddenly, and popped a small stone in his hand and hit the wooden sword in Song Qingshu's hand.
Mo Shenggu's move seemed to be an order to stop, Song Qingshu and the disciples of the beggar gang stopped at the same time and stood on the spot.Mo Shenggu stepped forward with a sullen face, and reprimanded Song Qingshu first. "Why didn't you use 'split the flowers and blow the willows' in that move just now? Your sea of energy is damaged and your internal energy is insufficient. When you encounter such a situation where it is difficult to escape for a while, you should deal with things calmly and conserve your internal energy." After saying these two sentences, he turned back The three people who were knocked over by Song Qingshu. "In the dog-fighting formation, there are many enemies and few to avoid impatience. Why did you not follow the formation just now, but broke out to attack him? He injured the three of you, and the entire dog-fighting formation showed its flaws. If you act rashly, you will know what will happen." Make the whole formation fail?"
Mo Shenggu has sharp eyesight, and the mistakes he pointed out are indeed the deficiencies of the disciples of the Beggar Clan and Song Qingshu, so they all bowed their heads and remained silent.Mo Shenggu glanced at them slowly, he didn't understand the hard work of his nephew who had been fighting against the disciples of the beggar gang for more than an hour, he just shouted sharply: "Come again!"
Seeing that Song Qingshu was fighting with the beggar gang's dog-beating formation again, Yi Tianhai came forward and said with emotion: "Brother Mo has worked so hard!" He is the number one master of the Haisha gang, so he naturally knows what Mo Shenggu has done The intention is to train Song Qingshu to be calm and precise when facing an enemy, and to train the beggar gang's dog-fighting formation to exert its greatest power.
But Mrs. Yi saw that although Song Qingshu's moves became faster and lighter, every move was the best effect on injuring the enemy, and he would never spend half of his extra strength, but the sweat dripping from his body has gradually dampened his back Back, he couldn't help shouting distressedly: "With Qingshu's martial arts, can you break the formation? If you insist on consuming his internal energy like this, you men are so cruel!"
Unexpectedly, Yi Tianhai and Mo Shenggu said in unison: "Qingshu, I am the successor of the Wudang School of Jinghong Saber, how can I be ignored?" Madam immediately knew that Song Qingshu would not be able to get away easily today.She couldn't bear to look more, she couldn't help sighing, turned around and walked into the hall accompanied by disciples of the beggar gang.
Mrs. Yi waited in the hall for another hour, Mo Shenggu and her husband came together chatting and laughing happily, but Song Qingshu was nowhere to be seen.Mrs. Yi knew that Song Qingshu would need to take a break after a hard struggle, so she didn't bother to ask about Song Qingshu's situation, and just listened to Mo Shenggu and Yi Tianhai negotiating from the standpoint of the beggar gang and the Haisha gang.
Now the Beggar Gang occupies Zhejiang, the Haisha Gang occupies Jiangsu, the Mingjiao Rebel Army has captured Henan and Anhui, and its power is expanding to Jiangsu and Jiangxi. Is in a precarious situation.The Haisha Gang and the Beggars Gang have had a long-standing grievance, and Mo Shenggu and Yi Tianhai made a pact in Anqing to determine the title of the number one gang in the world based on their contribution to driving out the Tartars in the future. Therefore, the grievances and grievances between these two groups can be put aside for the time being.But it involves the division of these two groups of forces, which is extremely sensitive.
Yi Tianhai had the same wish as Mo Shenggu in his heart, and he didn't want the two gangs to fight again and deepen their feud, so he looked down at the map for a while, and said frankly: "My Haisha gang fought several bloody battles with Yuan soldiers in Huzhou. If you can take it back to Huzhou to comfort the souls of the past dynasties, the grievances and grievances with the Beggar Clan will be great." After saying that, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.Huzhou is close to Hangzhou, how can others snore and sleep on the side of the couch?
Sure enough, before Mo Shenggu could answer, the Beggar Clan disciples standing behind Mo Shenggu had already cursed: "Haisha Gang lost Huzhou, so you are so incompetent, how dare you ask for it with shame?"
"Shut up!" Mo Shenggu couldn't hear it, and stopped drinking immediately.Taihu Lake is located in a dangerous place, but the influence of the Beggar Clan in Taihu Lake is only in Huzhou and Jiaxing, which is far inferior to that of the Haisha Clan in Taihu Lake.Mo Shenggu also looked down at the map for a while, and had a vague plan in his heart, so he said: "Brother Yi must have a plan in mind when he comes this time, you and my brother may as well be open and honest, and the younger brother should make plans early."
Yi Tianhai came here according to Zhang Shicheng's order, so he was naturally prepared, pointing to the map and talking.Most of Taihu Lake is located in Jiangsu and it is close to Suzhou. The Haisha Gang cannot give up no matter what.However, the disciples of the Beggar Clan couldn't help but sneer when they saw Yi Tianhai's fingers draw a circle along the Taihu Lake, not only dragging Huzhou in, but even cutting Jiaxing in half, obviously they didn't want to give in an inch.
But Mo Shenggu saw that the attention of the Haisha Gang was only on Taihu Lake, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and asked with a smile: "Brother Yi, what is the current power of the Haisha Gang in Fujian?" The influence of the Shabang in Quanzhou was forced away by local merchants.Now that many years have passed, I don't know how much power the Haisha Gang still has in Fujian.
Known as the City of Light, Quanzhou was originally the most important stronghold of the Haisha Gang in Fujian, and it was also one of the money bags of the Haisha Gang.However, many years ago, the Haisha gang withdrew from Quanzhou because they offended the merchants, leaving Ningde as the only power in Fujian.Now when Mo Shenggu mentioned Fujian, Yi Tianhai's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately asked, "Does Master Mo want to exchange Huzhou with my gang's power in Fujian?"
Mo Shenggu smiled slightly, and before he could answer, Song Qingshu's voice came from outside the hall again. "It's okay to exchange the entire Taihu Lake, but Changxing must be in the hands of the Beggar Gang."
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that Song Qingshu had already bathed and changed his clothes, and now he strode in with a blue robe.Yi Tianhai and Song Qingshu also have the status of master and apprentice, knowing that he is especially good at the art of war, they couldn't help laughing and said: "What do you mean by this, please explain in detail."
Song Qingshu didn't refuse, walked forward, pointed to Taihu Lake and said: "Taihu Lake covers an area of hundreds of hectares, and there are many islands and peaks in the lake, so it is very easy to hide and hide. If it is divided and ruled by the Beggar Gang and the Haisha Gang, it will be handed over. The order of the obstacle is not clear, and it is easy for Yuan soldiers to take advantage of the emptiness and provoke it. The Haisha Gang never forgets Huzhou, and the Beggar Gang is willing to give in. They might as well offer the entire Taihu Lake. The disciples of the Beggars' Clan are stationed here, and even the slightest change in the Haisha Clan cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Beggars' Clan. Since Chief Zhang sincerely shakes hands with the Beggars' Clan to make peace, he must not refuse this request. As for how much the Beggars' Clan will take advantage of in Fujian, you guys Just talk, the Wudang faction will never intervene." After finishing speaking, he stepped back and sat aside, picking up the tea bowl casually.
The beggar gang didn't buy Song Qingshu's words. Seeing Mo Shenggu's noncommittal, Elder Feng who was sitting beside him knew that Song Qingshu held a heavy weight in Mo Shenggu's heart. "The Haisha gang has occupied Taihu Lake. In the future, they will send troops south to take my Hangzhou branch. How can I help them resist?"
When Song Qingshu heard the words, he just looked at Elder Feng in surprise, and asked: "Could it be that the Haisha Gang and the Beggar Gang shook hands and made peace?"
Elder Feng was suffocated by Song Qingshu, and after a while he said in a rough voice: "Knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing hearts!"
Song Qingshu smiled casually, and said: "If Elder Feng is so willing, then we don't need to talk about the peace talks."
As soon as Song Qingshu said this, Elder Feng was immediately speechless.
Seeing this, Mo Shenggu hurriedly said: "Elder Feng, the so-called gentleman is magnanimous. Since my gang has decided to negotiate peace with the Haisha gang, we should put aside the past grievances for the time being. If my gang shows sincerity, the Haisha gang will also agree. Reciprocate." At this point, he couldn't help but pause slightly, and said proudly. "Besides, the world is in turmoil now. Since the Beggars' Gang has decided to revolt against the Yuan Dynasty, how can they only focus on Taihu Lake?"The Yuhaisha gang in Fujian has become weak, and if the beggar gang can win Quanzhou with the help of the Wudang faction, the money problem that has plagued the beggar gang for many years will be solved.Similarly, if the Haisha Gang occupies Taihu Lake, their power in Jiangsu can be completely stabilized. This method is the best of both worlds.
Mrs. Yi observes the words and looks, seeing that the expressions of Mo Shenggu and Yi Tianhai have both loosened, she suddenly knows that Song Qingshu's suggestion is likely to be realized, she can't help laughing and said: "As expected of a Wudang disciple, these four or two tricks have made the earth astonishing."
Song Qingshu didn't feel complacent when Mrs. Yi praised him, he just cupped his hands and said: "It's just that he is loyal to his position, the two gangs invited the Wudang faction to resolve their grievances, if I have nothing to do, wouldn't it be a joke? "In fact, Song Qingshu had another plan in mind, to make the beggar gang and the Haisha gang shake hands and work together to form a rebel army.If we can connect Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu into one place, we can join forces in Xutu Shandong.However, even Mo Shenggu was not optimistic about this suggestion, he only said that the grievances between the Beggar Gang and the Haisha Gang were too deep to be forced.Seeing that Mo Shenggu didn't nod his head, Song Qingshu had no choice but to give up.
With Song Qingshu's words clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, Mo Shenggu and Yi Tianhai were both focused, and it took several days to finalize the general regulations, and they agreed to go boating on Taihu Lake and meet Zhang Shicheng on the tenth day of the next month.
The tenth day of the Lunar New Year is approaching in no time, Mo Shenggu and Song Qingshu boarded a boat with several Beggar Clan disciples in Changxing, and soon they saw the big boat of the Haisha Clan anchored in the middle of the lake.Compared with the small boat of the Beggars' Gang, which was only [-] materials, the cargo ship of the Haisha Gang was obviously several times larger.The helmsman who sent Mo Shenggu and others by boat used to make a living by fishing in the Taihu Lake area. Seeing the momentum of the Haisha Gang, he couldn't help but sighed slightly, and whispered to Mo Shenggu: "Guild Master , This Haisha gang has always been rich and powerful by selling private salt, and my gang's influence on the water is far inferior to his."
Mo Shenggu knew in his heart that he was determined to let go of Huzhou and Jiaxing, and the disciples in the two clans were still dissatisfied, but he was afraid to speak out because he was the clan leader.Hearing the helmsman sigh at this time, he immediately replied in a deep voice: "Let's see the sun!" As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the ladder cloud and jumped onto the big boat of the Haisha Gang.
Song Qingshu and several Beggar Clan disciples followed closely behind, and also jumped onto the big boat.Song Qingshu had a lot of experience in sailing a boat. As soon as Fang got on the boat, he had vaguely noticed that the hull of this boat had a deeper draft than other boats, as if some heavy objects were placed on the boat.However, he just had this thought before he thought it over carefully, when he saw Yi Tianhai leading Zhang Shicheng towards them.Over the years, Mo Shenggu and Song Qingshu have dealt with the Haisha Gang many times, and they have long admired this Haisha Gang leader, but they always have only one side.I finally got to see him today, and I saw him tall and tall, wearing a Shu brocade robe, probably in his 30s, with three long beards on his face, looking very noble, not like the leader of a gang, but more like a big man gentry.
Seeing Mo Shenggu leading the disciples of the Beggars' Clan to come forward, Zhang Shicheng immediately took a step forward and bowed his hands in salute, and said with a smile on his face: "I heard the reputation of the leader of the Beggars' Clan, Mo, like thunder, and I am lucky to see you today!"
Mo Shenggu had presided over the Beggar Gang for a long time, and gradually got used to this kind of greeting, he hurriedly replied: "Master Zhang, you are very polite!" After saying that, he brought Song Qingshu, who was standing behind him, together with the eighth gang of Beggar Gang who accompanied him. , Elder Nine Bags recommended to Zhang Shicheng.
Perhaps it is because of the deep grievances between the Haisha Gang and the Beggar Gang, but Zhang Shicheng did not treat the rest of the Beggar Gang disciples warmly. His own son is average.Song Qingshu had lived two lifetimes, and he had heard many more beautiful compliments, so he and Zhang Shicheng admired each other restrainedly, then followed Mo Shenggu into the cabin and took a seat.
Just as they sat down, Zhang Shicheng eagerly greeted the boat lady to serve wine.Hearing this, Mo Shenggu frowned, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it. "Master Zhang, this is a matter of business, and the matter of drinking is not urgent at this moment."
Zhang Shicheng laughed, and was about to say a few words of persuasion. Seeing that Mo Shenggu's expression was determined and said the same thing, he stopped thinking, and said in a low voice: "Since Master Mo said so, I will naturally follow. Tianhai, go to the back cabin Get a map."
Yi Tianhai, who was sitting by the side, immediately looked at Zhang Shicheng in surprise when he heard the words, why would he need to work on such trivial matters?However, Zhang Shicheng turned his head to chat and laugh with Mo Shenggu after giving this sentence, Yi Tianhai got up and walked out even though he felt strange in his heart.Song Qingshu looked on coldly, seeing Zhang Shicheng had just spoken a few words to Qi Shu and then laughed several times, his speech was elegant and humble, obviously he knew how to please others, no wonder Master Yi was heroic, even though he knew how many shortcomings he had, he always let him go No more.Just looking at his brows, there is a faint sense of fatigue and anxiety, perhaps these days the Haisha Gang has been persecuted too hard by Yuan soldiers.
Not long after, the map was delivered, and the leaders of the two gangs immediately got back to business.Originally, Mo Shenggu and Yi Tianhai had roughly agreed on the division of power in the land of Taihu Lake, but the meeting with Zhang Shicheng today was just a matter of reconsidering a few details, and the two sides made an agreement.How do you know that Zhang Shicheng is the leader of the gang, or whether he doesn't trust Yi Tianhai very much or is cautious by nature. He only read the contract with the beggar gang one by one, and measured and calculated the land of Taihu Lake inch by inch , and talked about the moving of the moon shadow to the east, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Banglord Mo is benevolent and righteous, and I am grateful for your kindness. Tomorrow morning, when I choose an auspicious time, you and I will make a covenant together!"
As soon as Zhang Shicheng finished speaking, Elder Feng who was accompanying him shouted, "Wait until tomorrow?" Zhang Shicheng acted procrastinatingly and hesitantly, Elder Feng couldn't understand him very much, and he was afraid that tomorrow would be another trial.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Shicheng replied sternly: "Once the years of grievances between the Haisha Gang and the Beggar Gang are resolved, it is appropriate to choose an auspicious time for such a major event!" Then, he ordered Yi Tianhai, "Tianhai, go and order , the food and drink can be served!"
Today, Yi Tianhai was summoned by Zhang Shicheng several times like a servant, and he had already lost his temper. After hearing Zhang Shicheng's order, he immediately got up and walked out.How could he know that this time, Yi Tianhai never looked back.Everyone sat in the cabin for a long time, but no one came.Everyone was feeling surprised when there were a few light knocks on the cabin door, a disciple of the Haisha Gang pushed the door in nervously, cupped his hands to Zhang Shicheng and said, "Guild Master, Yi Tuo Master..." Here, he hesitated to speak and looked at the disciples of the Beggars' Clan in the cabin. It was obviously related to the internal affairs of the Clan and it was inconvenient for outsiders to know about it.
Zhang Shicheng also had doubts on his face, he only said: "What's the matter?"
The disciple of the Haisha Gang pondered for a while, then suddenly knelt down and said: "Please move the leader!"
Seeing this, Zhang Shicheng had no choice but to get up and apologize: "Everyone wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go." After saying that, he went out with that Haisha Gang disciple.
As soon as Zhang Shicheng left, there were only Beggar Sect disciples left in the cabin, Elder Feng hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Mo Shenggu: "Sect Master, we'd better go ahead, lest there be fraud!"
But Mo Shenggu only frowned and couldn't stop pondering. It is true that Haisha Gang was besieged by Yuan soldiers, and the friendship between him and Yi Tianhai is also true.If there is fraud, where is the fraud?If it was a false alarm, today he led the disciples of the Beggar Clan to take the first step, and in the future the Beggar Clan would never be able to hold its head up again in the arena.Mo Shenggu was undecided, but the deck under his feet felt faintly hot at this moment.
"No!" Song Qingshu shouted suddenly.Before he finished speaking, Mo Shenggu picked up the three Beggar Clan disciples who were traveling with him and swung them out of the cabin.
Song Qingshu only heard a loud "bang" in his ears, and his whole body was embraced by Mo Shenggu, and he was knocked out of the window.In the sky full of flames and the pungent smell of sulfur, he and Mo Shenggu fell into the cold and dark Taihu Lake together.
The author has something to say:
Director: Gang Leader Zhang, the first time he appeared on the stage, he completely screwed the two protagonists, isn't it cool?
Zhang Shicheng: Stop talking, I am Alexander!
