A bonfire burned brightly, the flames reaching into the sky. The bonfire was surrounded by ragged beggars. The eighth elder of the Beggar Clan sat at the front, each holding a bowl of wine in his hand. Zhang Chengyun took a sip, smacked his lips and said, "What a damn pleasure!" Liu Wanting said with a smile, "It's rare for all of us to come together like this. Bamei, you asked us to come over. It's not just about drinking, right?"
Tian Qiulan said: "What happened last time was thanks to the big guy's kind words in front of the gang leader, otherwise the younger sister would have to be removed from her position as elder." Zhang Chengyun stretched out his sleeves and wiped his mouth and said: "Brother Liu, eighth sister This is a thank you to us, it’s just you who care a lot in a day.”
Liu Wanting stroked his beard and said: "Eight sisters, although we are beggars, we have no worries about food and clothing. Why do you have to be too greedy?" Tian Qiulan looked embarrassed and said: "Brother Liu said that the little sister was temporarily lost. , I didn’t catch the fox, but I got into trouble!”
At this time, Cheng Lixin said calmly: "Elder Tian, although we can protect you this time, it won't be so easy next time." Although Tian Qiulan was unhappy in her heart, she smiled out of sympathy and said: "Even if Brother Cheng borrows the money, it won't be so easy." My little sister is so brave, I will never do this again."
Cheng Lixin's confidant Hao Siming was exposed by Zhang Chengyun and others, and his status in the gang was greatly reduced. Tian Qiulan was colluding with Zhang and Liu again, so he could only make some concessions in words. A round-faced beggar glanced at Cheng Lixin and said, "Old Cheng, don't open or lift any pot. We are all brothers, why do you have to do this?"
Cheng Lixin snorted coldly and said, "Old Mo, I have good intentions." Zhang Chengyun burped and said, "Mr. Cheng, it is better to take care of his subordinates and avoid having another imperial spy." Cheng Lixin's face turned red and he clenched his fists.
When the round-faced beggar Mo Wanhe saw that the two were about to fight, he said: "Come on, we are all old guys, why should we be like children. If you two can't pee in a pot, get out of here as soon as possible. Eight sisters The wine can't stop you two."
Mo Wanhe's status in the Beggar Clan was higher than that of Zhang and Cheng. It was inconvenient for the two of them to have an attack, so they had to apologize. Tian Qiulan said: "Brother Mo, I have invited you all here to discuss something important this time." The two twins beside Mo Wanhe are called Gongsun brothers, the eldest is Gongsun Qian, and the second is Gongsun Quan.
The two of them are different from the others and are more upright people. The eldest brother, Gongsun Qian, narrowed his small eyes and said slowly: "Everyone should say that business matters are more important." Tian Qiulan continued: "Brothers, you must have heard that the Ghost Prime Minister has returned to the world. My little sister recently found out a strange thing that is related to them. .”
Gongsun Qian said: "What's the matter?" The expressions on the faces of the other people also became solemn. Tian Qiulan said: "Gui Xiangmen's people are looking for something recently. This thing seems to be very important. A few days ago, one of my younger sister's subordinates was named He Laogou. This man was killed by Guixiangmen. They were in He Laogou's house. I seemed to be looking for something at my residence, but luckily I couldn't find it. My sister then sent someone to search carefully and found this."
As she spoke, she took out a roll of cloth from her sleeves and slowly unfolded it. By the light of the fire, everyone saw a winding river and a mountain painted on the cloth. She handed the cloth to Mo Wanhe, who looked at it carefully and passed it to others to see.
After everyone looked at it, Mo Wanhe said: "This seems to be a treasure map." Tian Qiulan said: "My little sister thinks so too, but it's a very important matter, so I want to hear what you guys think?" Zhang Chengyun said: "The ghost minister's sect. There must be treasures hidden here, and they are causing harm to the martial arts world, so we should get ahead of them and take out the treasures."
Gongsun Qian nodded and said: "Yes, this treasure belongs to our beggar gang. From now on, we can support more brothers." Mo Wanhe said: "Brother Gongsun is right. Since this treasure falls into our hands, it is natural that it will be ours." Okay. Just be afraid, our work is in vain."
Liu Wanting pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Brother Mo, what do you mean, if we get the treasure, the other party will come to snatch it?" Mo Wanhe said: "Exactly, you think, since the other party didn't find anything, the things are naturally still in our Beggar Clan. I, the beggar gang, are going to get it, firstly to guide the enemy, and secondly, for the enemy to enjoy the harvest. If our work is not in vain, why is it?"
Gongsun Quan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "How difficult is this? As long as we do the opposite, our work will not be in vain." Mo Wanhe said: "From my brother's tone, it seems that there is a way." Gongsun Quan said : "Since this map is in my hands, the other party will naturally come to snatch it again. We might as well give it to them generously and let them guide us."
Zhang Chengyun slapped his thigh, gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother, your mind is spinning so fast, I didn't expect it." Mo Wanhe nodded and said, "It's indeed a clever idea, but we took away the Ghost Sect's things. Can they let it go? This treasure is both a source of wealth and a source of trouble. The Xuannv Palace was almost wiped out by them.
If we, the Beggar Clan, want to be enemies with them, we will have to unite more forces. If so, then the secret of this treasure will be revealed to the world, and in the meantime our work will be in vain. "
Gongsun Quan rubbed his nose and said: "Brother, you are too worried. If we want to take their things away, how can we let them recognize it? As long as all the brothers change their clothes and don't use their own martial arts, how can the Ghost Sect guess it?" Did we do it?" Tian Qiulan said: "It makes sense. Let them suffer a loss after this, and see if they still dare to show off their power in our Central Plains."
Mo Qianhe raised the wine bowl with a smile and said, "Okay, that's it. Eight sisters, if this is a great success, you can be considered as having made a great contribution to our beggar gang." Tian Qiulan said, "Where, if it weren't for the help of eldest brother Gongsun, I’m afraid no one will dare to touch this piece of fat that reaches your mouth.”
The next day, Tian Qiulan, the branch helmsman of the Beggar Clan, ordered his disciples to wait outside the door and put the box containing the treasure map in his house. Suddenly, a disciple came to report: "It's not good, Elder Tian." Tian Qiulan pretended to be panicked and locked the box in a cabinet.
The disciple said: "Report to Elder Tian, several of our disciples were injured in a fight with someone at Chunlai Inn." Tian Qiulan said loudly: "What? This is actually happening. You lead the way while I go take a look. "As he said that, he picked up a bamboo pole and walked out with the disciple.
At this time, a dark figure uncovered the roof tiles, got into the house, pried open the cabinet, and stole the box. After the man in black left, Mo Qianli and others appeared in the yard. Gongsun Quan smiled and said, "Brother, it seems they have taken the bait." Mo Qianhe said, "Okay, I'm afraid they won't show up. Brother Zhang is following. With them, we can wait for work."
Another day later, the group of beggars put on new clothes, wearing black clothes outside, took their weapons and hid in a bush. A dozen or so burly men walked out of a cave not far away. The leading man put his hand on the handle of the knife and said to the people behind him: "Hurry up and lift the things out."
The men worked in groups of two and four, and carried out four black lacquered boxes one after another. Mo Wanhe gestured to the people next to him, and the beggars jumped out of the bushes. The black-clothed leader was startled, and immediately drew out his steel knife and shouted: "Who are you? How dare you attack my ghost minister."
Zhang Chengyun laughed loudly and said: "You are a ghost prime minister and a pig prime minister, I will beat you all until you lose your appearance. Throw down your weapons if you know your appearance. I will leave you intact, otherwise I will let you know my grandfather's methods."
The leader sneered and said: "Hmph, the person who opposes our Guixiangmen has not yet been born. Brothers, even if they lose their lives today, they must protect these treasures. Tu Laosan, you lead the brothers to withdraw with the treasures. Leave them here." Give me."
A man next to the leader in black responded, and he and his men gathered around the box holding weapons. Mo Wanhe held an iron rod in his hand and pointed forward, shouting: "Brothers, come on." The leader in black danced with the steel knife in his hand and came over to kill.
Mo Wanhe jumped up, and the Gongsun brothers also came from the left and right to fight with the Gui Xiangmen people. The rest of the people also surrounded these people in the center of the formation. The leader in black was fighting one against three. He raised the steel knife in his hand and struck at Mo Qianhe's left shoulder. Mo Qianhe jumped back and pointed the iron rod straight forward.
The black-clothed leader stepped sideways to avoid the attack. The steel knife in his hand did not collide with the enemy. He stood up on his toes and raised his hand to fire three darts. Swish, swish, three darts came in the shape of a pin. Mo Wanhe turned his hands, and the iron rod danced like a windmill, shaking the darts away.
The leader in black stood on the box and said loudly: "Brothers, we are alive only if the things are there. If the things are gone, we will die even if we go back." After hearing what he said, the big men fought back hard. After all, the Beggar Clan has strength in numbers. Even though these people fight to the death, they are far from their opponents.
Zhang Chengyun kicked one person away with his left foot, then spun up his right foot and knocked another person to the ground. When those people were about to stand up, steel knives were already placed on their necks. Liu Wanting slapped his palm on the back of one person's heart, and the person spurted blood and fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, the other party's people were either captured or killed, leaving the leader alone to fight hard. Mo Wanhe stepped forward and said: "I think you are a good man, so let's let you commit suicide. There are so many of us, even if you can fight, you will not be able to survive tomorrow."
The leader was covered in wounds and bleeding profusely. He gritted his teeth and leaned on the ground with his single sword. He glanced at everyone and said, "Even if I die in battle today, I will never surrender." He said that he was about to pounce again. Liu Wanting said: "Okay, then I will give you a ride." He reached out and picked up a steel knife from the person next to him, flew up, raised his left foot, and kicked the steel knife away from the opponent's hand.
With a whoosh, the man's head was chopped off. Mo Wanhe sighed: "I didn't expect there to be such tough characters in the Ghost Prime Minister Sect." Gongsun Quan shook his head and said: "It's a pity that they took the wrong path." A disciple raised his hand and said: "Elder Mo, what should I do with these prisoners?" Mo Wanhe sighed. Wan He said: "Of course we can't leave him alive."
The beggars raised their knives and dropped their swords, and blood spilled all over the floor. Mo Wanhe took off his face mask and said, "We're done. Come, open the box and see what treasures are inside." A disciple stepped forward, opened the box and there was a bang, and a stream of white smoke came out.
The beggars swayed and fell to the ground one after another. Not far away, a man walked up to the sedan and said to the people in the sedan: "Sir, these beggars have fallen into a trap." The people in the sedan sighed and said: "Bury our brothers well and lock up these beggars." .”
