Xiao Yunfan recovered from his injuries quickly, thanks to the Bashan Sect's miraculous medicine, Huo Zhongyuan and others' careful care, and the magical effect of Chi You's blood. He opened his eyes and said to himself with ecstasy in his heart: "God has really treated Xiao well and gave me another life. I have to cherish it now. This time, the ghost minister set up because I was drinking and causing trouble. If I hadn't been greedy, How could we give them an opportunity?
Even if I can't quit drinking, I have to drink less in the future. I wonder what’s going on at Xuanbing Villa? I was so focused on Xuanbing Villa that I almost forgot about them. I wonder where Yun Mei and the others sent Silver Thirteen? Is their journey peaceful, and have they encountered anyone from the Beggar Clan? "
He turned over and sat up, feeling that the wound no longer hurt. Just as he was about to get out of bed, Huo Zhongyuan, Guan Shanyue, and Yu Nansong pushed the door open and entered. As soon as Guan Shanyue saw Xiao Yunfan accept him, he bowed and said, "Brother Xiao, I blame Guan for being so blind that he can't even tell whether his daughter is real or fake. It's really embarrassing to say that. What's worse is that you suffered from Master Huo." One sword."
Xiao Yunfan said: "Master Guan, there is no need to be polite. The enemy is full of tricks and it is impossible to guard against it. Xiao and the master have changed places, and I believe he will make the same decision as Master Guan." Seeing Xiao Yunfan's magnanimity, Guan Shanyue immediately became red. He said with a face: "It's rare for Brother Xiao to ignore the past grievances and have a deep sense of Guan Shanyue." Xiao Yunfan also guessed a thing or two about Guan Shanyue's purpose and did not reveal it at the moment.
Yu Nansong cupped his hands and said: "Brother Xiao, seeing you glowing with glory and looking great, my husband and I are relieved." Xiao Yunfan said: "Senior Yu, you, a junior named brother, cannot afford this responsibility." Yu Nansong glanced at Huo Zhongyuan said with a smile: "Am I allowed to call only Huo Zhongyuan and not me?" Xiao Yunfan said: "This..."
Yu Nansong said: "Just do what I call you. Think about it, if I treat you as a junior, I will call you my nephew. Brother Guan and Brother Huo have a lot of respect for each other. Haha, we in the world don't stick to trivial matters." "Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "Mr. Yu is right."
Huo Zhongyuan looked at Xiao Yunfan and stroked his beard and said: "Brother Xiao, I didn't allow them to disturb you and let you rest in peace, but Mr. Yu misses you and Zhuang Guan wants to apologize to you, so I can't stop them. ." Xiao Yunfan said: "Xiao is fine now, let's go to the yard to talk." Several people slowly walked out of the hospital again.
In front of a square table, two Bashan disciples placed tea bowls. After everyone sat down, Xiao Yunfan asked about the situation that day, and Yu Nansong said a few words concisely. Xiao Yunfan lowered his head and pondered, thinking in his heart: "So, if this Brother Feng hadn't come forward, Guan Shanyue might have been captured alive by the Ghost Prime Minister Sect.
The woman surnamed Bai left after hearing the whistle, which shows that there is a powerful leader behind her. What exactly they want to do to seize the "Shanhe Kanyu Map" is just my guess. To confirm this speculation, I am afraid we have to continue to investigate. "
Guan Shanyue said: "Brother Xiao, Guan is shamelessly asking you to save my daughter. Now that I have no son, if I lose this daughter again, then Guan might as well close his eyes and meet them in the underworld." ." What he said was extremely desolate. Although Xiao Yunfan had no heirs, he could still feel his pain. Seeing his weathered temples and withered face, the pity in his heart became even stronger.
Xiao Yunfan said: "Master Guan, Xiao promises you this. I will definitely rescue him." Guan Shanyue was extremely excited when he saw that he agreed so readily. Yu Nansong said: "Brother Xiao, you have a way to save people. My husband and I are willing to help you."
Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "With two of you taking action, our chances of winning will naturally be greater. But for now, let's wait until I find out more about this matter and then we can discuss it in detail." Guan Shanyue said with his beloved daughter in mind: "Brother Xiao , the other party just wants the picture on Guan’s back, why don’t you talk to the other party with this picture.”
Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said: "I always feel that this matter is far from as simple as the plot. If they really came for the plot, they could have sent more elites to capture Xuanbing Villa and seize it directly. Why bother to kidnap people to get the plot?" Huo Zhongyuan's eyes flickered, and he asked: "Brother Xiao, what you mean is that seizing the map is a pretense, and we still have no way of knowing their true intentions."
But it was said that Tian Qiulan, the elder of the Beggar Clan, had accepted Ma Mingyuan's money, but his attempt to kill Yin Shisan failed. For this reason, she was injured by a wild bee and rested for more than half a month. As the middle informant, He Laogou naturally has to suffer from both sides. He simply fled elsewhere so that neither party could find him.
On this day, He Laogou was eating dog meat in a ruined temple. Ma Mingyuan brought people to find him. He Laogou glanced at him and said with a smile: "Brother Ma, what brought you here?" Ma Mingyuan raised his hands and said: "Brother He, you didn't accomplish what brother asked you to do, what about this money? Should I return it to my brother?"
He Laogou raised his eyebrows, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and said: "Bah! I said your conscience was eaten by a dog? That day, you cried and begged me to find someone for you. The person is me. I found it for you, but you agreed to it. If you don’t have money, it’s Elder Tian who you respect. She ruined things for you, so you ask her for it. What does it have to do with me?"
Ma Mingyuan curled his lips and said: "Brother, I don't like to hear what you are saying. I was the one who found you at the beginning, but you also assured me that if Elder Tian took action, Silver Thirteen Dog's life would be hard to save. He is now He’s not dead, he will come back to kill me sooner or later. So please make another trip and collect the money for me.”
He Laogou threw a bone on the ground, wiped it on the dirty clothes with his greasy hands, and said coldly: "What if I don't?" Ma Mingyuan sighed and said: "Then don't blame me for falling out, you are unkind. , I am unjust." He Laogou put the bamboo pole in his hand on his shoulder and said: "Brother Ma, do you want to fight with me?"
Ma Mingyuan said with a smile: "I dare not, how could that little thing under my hand get into my eyes? I still say the same thing, you have to get the money back, we are still brothers." He Laogou snorted and paused with the bamboo pole in his hand. , said: "Then let me see the real chapter."
Two men behind Ma Mingyuan jumped out and rushed towards He Laogou. He Laogou picked the bamboo pole in his hand first to the left, and then to the right. The two men jumped into the air and jumped behind him. At the same time, he kicked the center of the crook of his leg, causing He Laogou to kneel on the ground with a plop. His face changed, and he thought to himself: "When would Ma Mingyuan's men use such a master?"
The two men each grabbed one of his arms and pressed it on his back. He Laogou lowered his head, and in front of his eyes was a pair of black big-toed boots. Ma Mingyuan said: "He Laogou, I call you brother because I think highly of you. You are too young to play tricks in front of me. To tell you the truth, when I was playing lazy with others, Mr. Ma, you were still wearing crotchless pants."
He Laogou said in a low voice: "Master Ma, it's my fault. But you should also know that people like Elder Tian are respected in our Beggar Clan. How can I, a three-bag disciple, let her spit out the money?" "
Ma Mingyuan said: "Pour it into him." One of the two big men holding He Laogou pinched his mouth open, and the other poured a bottle of potion into his mouth. He Laogou reached for his throat to vomit out the potion. Ma Mingyuan said: "Don't mess around, I don't care what tricks you use, I want money tomorrow. If you can't get the money, I will ask you to become What a dead dog." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the ruined temple.
He Laogou knelt on the ground and vomited for a long time, almost vomiting out yellow bile. His martial arts skills are mediocre, and he naturally doesn't know those advanced internal skills that can force poison. He sat on the ground and said: "Ma Mingyuan, you beast. I treat you as a brother, but you turn around and try to harm me. Well, if you make it impossible for me to live, I won't let you live a good life."
He Laogou came to Tian Qiulan's helm angrily. As soon as he arrived at the door, the disciples came forward to punch and kick him. He Laogou shouted: "Brothers, you can see me clearly. It’s my old dog.”
A beggar raised his fist and punched him on the left cheek, and spat: "Bah! I hit you, Old Dog He. If it weren't for you, how could my three-eyed brother die?" That day, the beggar gang and the Silver Thirteen suffered a lot in this battle, and there were also casualties. This matter was reported to the old leader of the Beggar Clan, and Tian Qiulan was almost deposed for this reason.
If Zhang Chengyun and others hadn't tried their best to protect it, the position of elder would have changed hands long ago. The money Tian Qiulan got from Ma Ming naturally also paid tribute to Zhang Chengyun and others. Although she is one of the eight elders, she is still inferior to Zhang Chengyun and others in terms of power.
Tian Qiulan was smoking cigarettes in the house, and several disciples were beating her back and pinching her feet. A disciple walked up to her and whispered: "Elder Tian, here comes the old dog." Tian Qiulan opened her eyes and said: "How dare this old guy come? Bring him here."
He Laogou's face was bruised and bruised, and he knelt on the ground and cried: "Elder Tian, let me make the decision." Tian Qiulan sneered: "Thanks to you last time, I almost lost my life. I was going to find you. He said, "You old boy doesn't know which mouse hole to dig into, but my boys just can't find it."
He Laogou said: "Elder Tian, it's a huge injustice." Tian Qiulan said: "What an injustice. His grandma's money was not earned, but my brothers lost their lives. What do you think we should do?" He Laogou could tell that the other party's tone was unkind and that he was in danger, so he boldly shouted: "Elder Tian doesn't know something. This is a poisonous plan set by Ma Mingyuan."
Tian Qiulan blew out a puff of smoke and said slowly: "His evil plan?" He Laogou touched the wound on his cheek and said: "This person has some dealings with the imperial court. Elder Tian must have heard about it. The kidnapping incident in Sichuan last time Let’s face it, the government is planning to take action against our Beggar Gang.” Tian Qiulan said, “What does this have to do with Ma Mingyuan?”
When He Laogou saw Tian Qiulan's tone, he knew that she had been surrounded by him, and said slowly: "Elder Tian, brothers have misunderstood me. Can you give me a drink of water?" Tian Qiulan said a few words to the subordinates behind him. In a short time, someone brought tea to He Laogou.
He Laogou moistened his throat and said: "This Ma Mingyuan, he is actually from the imperial court. Last time I refused a hundred times, but their people put a knife on my neck and drank it again. Poison, I had no choice but to bring him here to see the elder." Tian Qiulan said: "You mean that Ma Mingyuan used the money to hire us to kill people, but in fact he used the money to kill people."
He Laogou said: "Elder Tian is wise, that's exactly what happened. The government wants to deal with us beggars, and it will be embarrassing if we speak out. So they came up with a way to use people from the Jianghu to deal with us. In this way, the government can suppress our power. , and can balance the overall situation of Jianghu."
