Chapter 386: The person who went to the appointment
Yin Shisan listened to the report of his subordinates with a gloomy expression. After a long time, he wrinkled and asked, "You said they seemed to have been sucked out of their blood?"
The man kneeling there replied with a trembling voice: "Yes, gang leader, these people who help in the gambling house are considered good players. Three of them are in the realm of force, and the remaining four are in the realm of qi. There are seven people in total." They all died in the alley.”
Yin Shisan, who had a stern face, was silent for a long time, and said calmly: "In that case, counting the two brothers who attacked the convoy, what do you think, nine lives, sir?"
It turned out that the two people who attacked Lin Hengshan's convoy in the evening were actually from the Shahe Gang.
The man kneeling there raised his head and said angrily: "The county government did not reply, their housekeeper just said..."
"What did you say?" Yin Shisan shouted and asked.
"The housekeeper said he got it," the man replied quickly.
When Yin Shisan heard the reply, he suddenly laughed, and the low voice echoed in the spacious courtyard. Even the brazier placed in the courtyard was affected, and the flames swaying from above.
At this time, two people walked in from outside. They were Huang Shi and Qingchuan who had fought against Yi Xifeng and his party before.
Huang Shi Xie Huang Qi is a master of Luoye City with his magic skills. He has attained the peak level of the Xia Xia Tang Realm. Three months ago, he followed Yin Shisan to fight out of Luoye City and chased Yi Xifeng and his party into Chunfeng Town. . If Li Chengqian and Yan Mingbo hadn't stopped him in the end, they would probably have wiped out their opponents.
Qingchuan Li Qingping is the third person in the Shahe Gang. He is mainly responsible for intelligence work. He is an expert in light martial arts. Unfortunately, he is not strong in combat, but he is also a strong warrior. Unfortunately, he was knocked unconscious by Zhang Yanshi before. Fortunately, Qin Kai rescued him and saved his life.
The two of them and Yin Shisan were brothers in life and death, so they naturally noticed that their boss's mood was wrong. They looked at each other, but both chose to remain silent. Because they know that their boss will not listen to advice.
"Qingchuan." After a while, the cold and stern man stopped laughing and said.
"Gang leader, my subordinates are here." Qingchuan immediately bowed and said.
"This time, our Shahe Gang has suffered continuous setbacks. It seems that many people have been targeting us recently. However, I am not sure whether this incident is directed at our Shahe Gang? Or at Luoye City? So I sent more people to let these eyes Open your eyes wide and watch carefully." Yin Shisan said with narrowed eyes.
Qingchuan answered with cupped hands, and then asked: "Since it is possible that he is coming to Luoye City? Should we give Ji Shenfu some information?"
The cold and stern man smiled slightly and murmured: "Hmph, these officials, how do they ever care about our life and death? In the eyes of these people, our Shahe Gang is worse than dogs! I, Yin Shisan, don't have the consciousness to be treated like a dog by others. !”
When Qingchuan heard this, his heart trembled. He had vaguely heard the meaning of Yin Shisan's words. Although he felt a little unsure and worried, as a son of the world, he was still so relieved!
…
Although it was already dark at this time, it was still very lively outside. Tomorrow was the Cloud Rest Day, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. In the past, the six gates should have been closed at this time, but it was different tonight. None of the city gates mainly used for caravan passage were closed.
Luoye City, northwest gate.
Groups of black-armored soldiers set up checkpoints at the city gate to inspect the goods of the caravan entering the city. In this long line of caravans, there was a young man who looked young, only in his twenties. He was holding a carriage alone and waiting to enter the city.
Almost everyone in the queue was carrying a lantern, both to provide lighting in the middle of the night and to keep warm in the cold winter. Looking at this long queue composed of various lights, the young man is the most inconspicuous one among them.
On the one hand, it was because he did not carry a lantern, and on the other hand, the young man was still dressed in black brocade clothes in the dark night, looking very low-key.
Soon the city inspection arrived at him. The black-armored soldier belonging to the Sixth Gate glanced at the other party's customs clearance document, then glanced at the carriage pulled behind the horse, and asked in a low voice: "This is the one pulling What is it?"
The young man replied with a smile: "Go back to this official and give me a cart full of drinks!"
The black-armored soldier walked over, took off the cover on the carriage, and found three large jars of wine. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he turned to the young man and shouted: "I suspect there is something in here, open it and check it out!"
The young man in the black brocade robe was obviously taken aback, and then he walked over with a smile and said with a smile: "This official, I can't do it, I can't do it! To be more specific, even if I unload all the wine, I should give it to you as a filial piety. But this wine was ordered by a nobleman in the city, so if there’s anything wrong with me, I can’t explain it!”
While talking, he took out a certain amount of silver from nowhere and quietly handed it over. Seeing this, the black-armored soldier couldn't help but look at the other party's customs clearance document again, then stared at the young man's handsome face and asked aloud: "Are you the shopkeeper of Jianghu Tavern?"
The young man smiled and nodded in response: "Haha, this military master, if you come to my shop on a repair day, I will treat you as your own boss!"
The guard nodded, returned the document to the other party, and then let him go.
The young man in brocade walked in the Luoye City in a carriage, thinking to himself: This year's Cloud Rest Day is indeed different!
This person is none other than the tavern owner who fought with Yi Xifeng against the Shahe Gang before. He is also a disciple of the King of Medicine. He is walking around the world, Zhang Ming!
Three months ago, he separated from the fair boy and took away a jar of good wine from the other party. He returned the three jars of wine to Yi Xifeng three months later. Calculating the time, it was only a few days before he came to Luoye City to prepare.
After all, his Jianghu Tavern is still in Luoye City, and the final step of brewing wine must be completed here. Zhang Ming, who always kept his promises, naturally had to come back again.
Get up early tomorrow morning and wait for three days before going to Yinren Town to find Yi Xifeng. This was the plan in Zhang Ming's mind, but Qin Hongyao seemed to have to wait outside the city for a while.
In comparison, the Shahe Gang had too many informants in the city, and Qin Hongyao's appearance had to be covered up if he wanted to avoid attracting attention. But her figure would still become the focus even if she was masked, and there were too many people who knew her in the Shahe Gang, so bringing her into the city would run a huge risk of exposure.
Just when Zhang Ming entered the city from the northwest gate and was about to take a small road back to Jianghu Tavern, a powerful wave of internal energy came from the southwest.
"Huh? A strong person in the chivalrous realm? There's more than one." The young man in brocade murmured secretly.
But knowing that he shouldn't meddle in other people's business, he looked in that direction for a few breaths, then turned around and headed towards the Jianghu Tavern. And said to himself: "Curiosity killed the cat! Curiosity is dangerous!"
Just when Zhang Ming decided to put away his curiosity and decided to go back first, the two powerful internal energy came towards him.
The young man couldn't help but quicken his pace, but there was a faint expectation in his heart. After walking for more than ten feet, Zhang Ming suddenly stopped. 228 Literature Network
It turned out that in his perception, the two powerful warriors were already less than two hundred feet away from him, and they were likely to appear in front of him in the next moment. He wasn't sure if the other party was coming for him, but whether it was true or not, it didn't really matter anymore.
Zhang Ming slowly turned his head, looked at the alley behind him, smiled and muttered: "Is it fate?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two big men appeared at the entrance of the alley. The person who came was also dressed as a businessman, but it was indeed an old man and a middle-aged man. It could be seen from the eyebrows that the two people should be related by blood.
When Zhang Ming turned around and looked at these two people, they were also observing him. This old No. 1 middle school student is none other than Xing Haifu and Xing Mu, who sneaked into Luoye City and planned to create chaos.
"Hey, he's a businessman, that's good! I smell that there is wine on the carriage!" Xing Mu murmured.
"Hey, little brother, how do you sell this drink?" the middle-aged man asked.
After all, Zhang Ming is the king of medicine. Just by looking at the other person's eyes, he can be sure that the person in front of him is already murderous.
"Haha, this guest officer asked me well, I have a thousand taels of wine per jar!"
Xing Mu smiled casually and said, "Money matters don't matter!" As he said that, he took two steps forward. It seemed that he planned to discuss it with the young man, but before he could take the second step, Xing Haifu, who was behind Xing Mu, grabbed him.
The moment he pulled on the Xingmu, a dark finger pierced directly through the spot where the middle-aged man had been standing.
Xing Mu was stunned when he saw this scene. He never expected that the handsome young man in front of him, who looked to be in his twenties, turned out to be a martial arts master in the chivalrous realm!
"Amu, don't take it lightly! This person is not simple, his cultivation level is already above yours!" Xing Haifu immediately used his internal energy to transmit his message, telling Xing Mu.
The old man took a step forward, stood in front of Xing Mu, and said calmly to Zhang Ming: "Why did my little friend suddenly take action?"
Zhang Ming looked at the other party with a half-smile but also replied calmly: "I don't like you!"
Originally, Xing Haifu had prepared a bunch of rhetoric. No matter what the young man said, he would be able to make his side take the lead. But I didn't expect that the other party would directly give up any moral principles and directly start a fight.
Mr. Xing is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. Hearing this, he could not avoid losing this battle.
The scene suddenly became extremely silent, and the two sides were at war with each other. For a while, the three of them were silent, and they just faced off on the spot.
…
However, at this moment, Qingchuan rushed in from outside the alley with a group of Shahe gang members. When he saw the three people in the room, he suddenly sobered up as he was originally worried.
It's him! It turns out that he was the mastermind behind the killings of our gang members in the alley, Zhang Ming! Qingchuan thought in shock.
At the same time, Zhang Ming asked calmly: "Why are you here?"
As the saying goes, this is unintentional, but it sounds intentional. Such a simple sentence from the young man in brocade showed that he and Qingchuan knew each other.
Xing Haifu and Xing Lin became even more nervous. The cultivation of the young man in front of him was already unfathomable. Although from the surface and internal strength, only the knights reached the peak of the Tang Dynasty, Mr. Xing had his own fighting instincts. , he knew clearly that he could not get any advantage from this young man in fine clothes.
At this time, Zhang Ming's words clearly showed that they were an alliance in Mr. Xing's eyes.
"It seems that the strong men from the Shahe Gang have also rushed over. Could it be that this terrifying young man is a master invited by the Shahe Gang to help?" The old man murmured secretly.
The moment Zhang Ming saw Qingchuan, he shifted his gaze to Xing Mu's face. Through the middle-aged man's subtle expression changes in an instant, he had basically determined that this old No. 1 Middle School must have nothing to do with the Shahe Gang.
Even with some guidance from young people, they might even be able to help him!
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Ming opened his mouth and laughed, looking as if his enemy had fallen into a trap.
"Haha, you really can't find anything after wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort to get here! Humph, do you think you can run away!?" With this last question, the young man quietly added a hint of inner strength.
Zhang Ming saw Xing, his son, his son, and Qingchuan looking at him warily, and said excitedly: "Hold him first, and I'll bring the others over!"
Having said that, the young man in brocade disappeared in a flash, leaving only the carriage carrying the drinks.
Xing Haifu's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: No, it seems that the Shahe Gang has sent other masters around here, and we can't stay here for a long time!
Obviously, those words just now successfully misled the Xing family and his son. When Qingchuan, who had just entered the alley, saw Zhang Ming laughing first and then disappearing, the gang subconsciously wanted to catch up.
Just like this, Xing Haifu and Xing Mu had just come out of their thoughts and saw the Shahe gang approaching. Since he decided that he couldn't stay here for a long time, he took action directly.
Although Qingchuan is also a strong knight, his combat ability is not comparable to that of Xing Haifu, let alone Xing Mu. Fortunately, the Xing family and his son were in a hurry to leave the battlefield, and Qingchuan himself was outstanding in qinggong, but he did not attack Qingchuan Tang. The hall leader causes damage.
Soon these Shahe gang members were killed and retreated. The Xing family did not hesitate too much and disappeared from the alley in a few flashes.
After about a cup of tea, Zhang Ming's figure appeared in this alley, and Qingzhu on the side fled away. He had seen Zhang Ming take action before, so he naturally knew that he was not his opponent.
