Seeing Xiao Ning crying and falling to the ground, Wang Wei also stepped forward with tears in his eyes and patted him: "If a man has tears, don't shed them lightly. Okay, there are people from the Shenyin Sect today. If you feel aggrieved, just let go and kill him." .”

"Yes!" Hearing this, Xiao Ning nodded fiercely, biting his lower lip with deep teeth marks. He held back his tears and hung up the purple and gold dragon's head. The group also packed up and rushed to Zhenxi. The Xiangzhou branch of the Beggar Clan is located outside Xiaowangzhuang Town. It was originally an ancestral hall for a wealthy family. Later, the ancestral hall fell into disuse on the road and was occupied by the Beggar Clan as the branch.

As they entered the ancestral hall, they were surrounded by people led by Luo Qing and Shao Hongmei. The disciples each held bows and arrows and stared at the wall of the courtyard gate. When Shi Le and his party arrived, the door in front of the hall was closed tightly and there was no sound in the courtyard.

There is a big tree three feet in front of the hall with lush branches. Wang Wei winked at Xiao Ning, and Xiao Ning nodded slightly, climbed up the branch as quietly as an ape, and chose a direction just in time to see the front door.

Xiao Ning had just hid here, and a group of people also walked to the door. Shi Le dismounted and shouted loudly: "Gong Yu, come out and answer."

After a long time, the door of the ancestral hall slowly opened, and three people walked out. The man in front of him was about thirty years old, wearing a moon-white gown, with a face like a crown of jade and a handsome face. He held a pair of short silver-white halberds, each of which was carved with a coiled dragon from head to tail.

The person on the right is a big man in black robe, with a face like the bottom of a pot, and holding a steel whip in his hand.

On the left is a beggar, of medium build, in his mid-forties, with fluffy hair that is tied up to his forehead. He has seven cloth bags hanging on his baina clothes and holds a bamboo stick in his hand. He now takes a step forward and cupped his hands with a smile on his face. He said without a smile: "Gang leader, what kind of wind has brought you here."

When Shi Le saw the beggar coming out, his eyebrows stood up. He pointed at the man and cursed: "You are such an unhuman beast, Gong Yu, the old gang leader has shown you the utmost kindness. You and I are with you." When you were practicing in the Chuan Gong Hall, who among the Beggar Clan ever did anything wrong to you, but today you have become the lackey of these thieves and harmed our people of the Song Dynasty, have you forgotten how the old gang leader died!"

"Huh," he said, and his face was broken. Gong Yu snorted coldly and said lazily, "Shi Le, stop talking about those useless things. I am worse than you in any way. I am also spreading the word." You went to the Kung Fu Hall later than me to practice martial arts. Why did Qian Suo and Shang Tianxing let you be the leader of the gang and not pass it on to me? In a word, I don't accept you as the leader of the gang, and today I will seek justice for it. , if it turns out to be the opposite, what will happen to you!"

"Hehe," Shi Le also sneered, "Back then, the old gang leader and Elder Shang said that you were narrow-minded and had no one but yourself. It was indeed true! If you still associate with these dogs today, not only will you bring shame to the Beggar Gang, but you will also be ashamed of yourself. He will die without a burial place.”

Gong Yu's words didn't make him angry, but he first annoyed the big black man next to him, Jiang Shen. Although Jiang Shen was not reckless, he was arrogant. He had never experienced this kind of arrogance in the past few days. Today, people said: "What a shame." "Thief" and the right "dog" curse made his heart get angry. He waved his whip and jumped out. Pointing the whip at Shi Le, he shouted: "What kind of poor guy are you from? Don't talk nonsense here. If you have the guts, don't use your bow and arrow." Look, grandpa, I can’t kill you one by one with a whip.”

Shi Le couldn't take him seriously. He only glanced at him coldly and spat, "Fangou."

Just this sentence made Jiang Shen angry to death. At this moment, Wubian was about to go up to Shi Le and fight for his life. Fei Jianqing, who was next to him, was still calm and knew that he was no match for Shi Le. He grabbed his arm and said, "Senior brother, please be patient. This is the leader of the Beggar Clan, Shi Le. Don't be reckless."

Hearing that this person was Shi Le also frightened Jiang Shen. The person's name, the shadow of the tree, none of the leaders of the three sects and four sects in the Central Plains were vegetarians, and he was secretly frightened at this moment. But just as he was pulling, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the big tree in front.

It turned out that Xiao Ning could see clearly from hiding in the tree. He wanted to use his bow to capture the palace, but the location was wrong. Fei Jianqing was extremely cautious and did not dare to take action easily. At this moment, Jiang Shen jumped out. Taking advantage of Fei Jianqing's tug, the two of them were distracted for a moment. Xiao Ning had already set up a wolf tooth arrow on the tree. This time, he opened the bow like a full moon. It appeared like a shooting star, and it was just an arrow that caught Jiang Shen's mind.

The arrow came so suddenly that Jiang Shen didn't react, and Fei Jianqing had to shout out "There's an ambush!" and pushed Jiang Shen hard before moving out of the way. The arrow came too fast, and the push only hit Jiang Shen's heart, but an arrow penetrated the chest from the right side.

Jiang Shen screamed, staggered four or five steps, and let go of his single whip. Shi Le burst out laughing when he saw it. He pulled out a three to four foot long dragon-shaped whip from his waist with his right hand. After taking a few steps and waving his hand, the whip wrapped around Jiang Shen's neck like a black dragon. He only shook his hand. He pulled him closer and punched him in the chest with his left hand. He saw a mouthful of blood gushing out from Jiang Shen's screams, with pieces of internal organs sandwiched in between. When he looked again, he had no air left.

Over there, Gong Yu and Fei Jianqing were no longer in a hurry to save him, so they just shouted "despicable". At this time, Wang Wei had already waved his hand and shouted "shoot the arrow", and arrows rained down like rain. Seeing that they were unable to resist, the two had no choice but to turn over and enter the ancestral hall, shouting to close the door.

Seeing that the door was about to close, Shi Le led everyone to rush forward. Unexpectedly, four or five men suddenly emerged from behind the door. For a moment, hidden weapons flew and forced everyone back. When they were about to go up again, the door of the ancestral hall was already closed.

Shi Le stomped his feet angrily, and was about to call everyone to open the door, but Wang Wei stretched out his hand to stop him, "Master Shi, no, the enemy is inside. If you and I rush in, there may be an ambush. By then, the enemy will be hidden and we will be clear. The other party has many good players, so I’m afraid we will be the ones who suffer the loss.”

"Then what else can Hero Wang do?" Shi Le said through gritted teeth.

"Haha," Wang Wei twirled his short beard and smiled softly, "If you don't have any defense, just let them out. This battle will be much easier than I thought."

"Oh?" Shi Le looked at him and waited for the next step.

Wang Wei didn't answer. He just called Luo Qing and said, "There is a barn on the way here. There is a lot of hay piled in it. Send people to fetch them all and tie them into bundles."

He turned around and called Xiao Ning, asking him and Wang Fu to collect dry pine branches nearby and tie them into torches, each with two hands. He also cut down a large number of fresh pine branches and piled them into a pile, and cut down a dead tree and cut it into a log.

Then let Elder Qin ride a fast horse to the town to buy a large cart of spirits, collect a bag of rags, and bring them with him.

After everything was ready, Wang Wei asked everyone to wrap rags under the arrowheads and soak them in strong wine. Only ten bow-wielding disciples were left at the front door, and the rest were led by the eight disciples of the Shen Dao Sect and were divided into the other three sides. Before leaving, he said: "There are big trees on the three walls. Choose two trees that are not close to each other and put three disciples on each tree. If someone climbs over the wall later and tries to escape, shoot them with arrows." He then said, "Just wait for this. When there is a knock on the door, you can first surround the courtyard wall with half of the firewood, and throw the rest into the courtyard. Follow orders to light a fire. When the fire breaks out in the courtyard, you can then throw the wine jar and fresh pine branches in. If someone jumps out, no matter how hard it is, If you are seriously injured, do not engage in combat, and shoot at random arrows."

Seeing the eight people following the order and leaving, he turned around and said to Elder Liang, clasping his fists: "If the elder has people with good light skills and sharp eyes, he can climb up to the top of the tree where Ning'er was just now and check out the situation in the courtyard at any time." Elder Liang nodded. , called Jia Wu and asked him to climb the big tree.

He then ordered Xiao Ning, Luo Qing, Luo Zhong and Wang Fu to pick up the tree pole and later knock on the door as long as it made a sound but not open it. Then he asked the rest of the people to line up in the square in front of the door to wait for the enemy.

Xia Houyuan looked strange, "Master Wang, are you planning to attack with fire? But this ancestral hall is mostly built of bricks and tiles to prevent incense, and even the beams have to be plastered with more than an inch of earth and mud. No matter how big the fire is, It’s hard to burn it out even if it’s time, but with this little firewood, I’m afraid it will be very difficult to burn it down.”

Wang Wei just said mysteriously: "Elder, please watch the show." Then he smiled and said to Shi Le, "Why don't Gang Leader Shi return Jiang Shen's body to them first, so that they can cause chaos."

Shi Le was also confused by Zhang Er Jingang. Hearing this, he could only smile bitterly, flicked his long whip, rolled up the corpse on the ground, and threw it through the wall.

At this time, there was movement in the courtyard. When Wang Wei heard it, he raised his voice and shouted: "Listen, people in the courtyard, Jiang Shen is going to execute him. I know that most of the others have come to join him. Today you only need to capture the rebellious Beggar Gang and Fei Jian." If you are clear, let me leave, otherwise I will burst the door later and it will be too late for both the jade and the stone to be destroyed!"

Just one sentence caused a stir in the courtyard. When he was young, Jia Wu climbed down from the tree and whispered to everyone: "The courtyard seems to be divided into two groups, arguing about something."

Wang Wei smiled slightly and signaled him to check again. He waited for about half a quarter of an hour before shouting again: "Since no one answered, we have to knock on the door. After the door is opened, if Gong Yu, Fei Jianqing and others are captured before His words still count.”

Only then did he signal Xiao Ning and the others to pretend to knock on the door, and the people around them also held firewood and quietly closed it. When everything was almost piled up, he suddenly heard a scream from the back wall, like the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. Jia Wu ran over again and said, "There were people in the courtyard showing their weapons just now, but it seems that they were persuaded again." After we got down, there was another person who wanted to jump up to the roof of the back hall to check, but was hit by several arrows and fell outside the back wall."

When Wang Wei heard this, his eyes rolled, and he quickly ordered his men to notify the three sides. The firewood in the courtyard was thrown away after the order, and the people who shot down the back wall were carried over first.

Not long after, the man was carried over. He had already lost his breath. Wang Wei signaled not to hit the door yet, and smiled at Shi Le, "I still have to trouble Gang Leader Shi." Shi Le shook his head and smiled, shook his whip and threw the body into the courtyard. , here Wang Wei shouted again: "Don't try to break through the wall. Bows and arrows don't have good eyesight. This is an example. It's not necessarily you who rushes out in the end, but don't let someone with ulterior motives do it." shield."

He glanced sideways at Jia Wu and asked him to take another look.

After a while, there was another movement in the courtyard. Jia Wu hurried over and said, "There's a fight, there's a fight inside."

"How many people took action?" Wang Wei also asked anxiously.

"It's hard to see clearly. There must be about ten of them."

"Okay, you go up again!"

At this moment, Shi Le and Xia Houyuan looked at each other in awe. In just a few words, the situation was completely reversed. The thief himself got into trouble first, and there was really no one left in the gang.

Wang Wei waited for a moment, then said to Xiao Ning and the others, "Put some pressure on them." Then the sound of banging on the door started again.

Wang Wei ordered, "Throw the grass, light the fire, and light it outside the courtyard first."

The people in the courtyard were having a lively fight, and the banging on the door seemed to hit them in the heart. Suddenly, bundles of hay fell from the sky, flying onto the faces of everyone in the courtyard.

Everyone was wondering when they suddenly saw fires on all sides outside the wall. Gong Yu suddenly realized it and shouted: "Stop fighting, we have fallen into a trap. They are going to burn us to death. Quickly throw everything that can be touched out of the house. We Go indoors to avoid the fire.”

A group of thieves rushed into the house and threw all the tables, stools, doors, windows and other easily accessible objects into the courtyard. By this time, torches and rockets had been thrown in through the wall, and a fire was raging in the courtyard.

Gong Yu and Fei Jianqing were sneering when they saw the fire in the courtyard. Suddenly, a large number of fresh pine branches were thrown into the courtyard, suppressing the flames. While the two were wondering, they saw more than ten jars of strong wine thrown into the courtyard. Suddenly the jars were broken, the wine flowed horizontally, and the aroma filled the air.

The fire that had just been suppressed was aroused by the drink and suddenly sprang up again, causing the pine branches to crackle and drip with pine oil. The fire was not very big or small, but it was filled with thick smoke, which smoked everyone in the house. Tears streamed down his face and he coughed again and again.
