Feixiang and others rode their horses to the top of the mountain and looked around. I saw two mountains stretching to the left and right, one connected to the mountain in the distance, and the other extending to a small river not far away. About two or three miles in front of the mountains is Baihe. Two or three miles behind the mountains are peach blossoms.
From the riverside to Taohua Village, the only way is through the valley. If this valley entrance is blocked and you want to go to Taohua Village, you will have to take a long detour. Feixiang looked at the terrain carefully and kept it in mind.
Feixiang finished reading, thought for a while, and said to Qiu Shuang: "Miss Qiu Shuang, I want to arrange for someone to monitor the river. If a boat is found docking, light a fire at night, set off smoke during the day, and report back quickly. What do you think?"
Qiu Shuang said displeasedly: "Sister Feixiang, you are our savior. I am seventeen years old and I am probably a little younger than you. I will call you sister and you call me sister, okay?"
Feixiang has a cheerful and outgoing personality, informal, easy-going and willful, not polite, and always agrees. Qiu Shuang was overjoyed and told four servants to stay on the top of the mountain to monitor the river and surrounding activities. It was about the lives of the whole village, and the four of them agreed in unison without hesitation. Feixiang gave the four more words and asked them to take turns on duty.
After Feixiang finished speaking, Qiu Shuang turned to Luo Chuan and said, "Brother Luo, our martial arts are low, how about you give us some tips now?"
Luo Chuan smiled slightly and said: "Miss Qiu Shuang, you are also a martial arts practitioner, and martial arts is not that easy and fast."
Qiu Shuang replied seriously: "Brother, don't call me girl. You can call me little sister or my name. I don't like people calling me girls, okay?" Seeing that she was serious, Luo Chuan had no choice but to agree.
Qiu Shuang said happily: "Thank you, brother. We also know that skill cannot be developed in a day and a half, but learning a few sword skills is enough!"
Luo Chuan thought about it and asked them to practice their sword skills. After Luo Chuan read it, he gave them careful instructions and passed on the Luo family's basic swordsmanship to them.
Luo Chuan would definitely not dare to teach Ximen Swordsmanship to outsiders without the permission of Old Man Ximen. The Luo family's swordsmanship is an original creation of several generations of the Luo family. It is both offensive and defensive, and is extremely sophisticated.
After seeing the swordsmanship of Qiu Shuang and others, Luo Chuan felt that their swordsmanship was too simple, so he taught them the Luo family's entry-level swordsmanship. Although the Luo family's entry-level swordsmanship is relatively simple, it is much more advanced than the swordsmanship of Qiu Shuang and others.
Qiu Shuang was overjoyed and studied hard with her four servants. They were originally people who used swords, and since the Luo family's basic swordsmanship was easy to learn, they naturally became familiar with it and mastered it quickly.
Qiu Shuang and others were about to step forward to thank Liu Shui, but were stopped by Luo Chuan. After leaving four people to monitor the river, Luo Chuan, Feiying, Feixiang and Qiu Shuang rode back. Entering He's house, they saw the hall full of people. It turned out to be Li Zheng, a nearby village in Shilibaxiang. They got the message from Hongxing and hurried over.
Taohua Village was attacked by gangsters, causing heavy casualties. The news quickly spread to nearby villages. After these people heard about it, they were all frightened and frightened, fearing that their own village would be the next one attacked by the gangsters.
Many people have already planned to flee to relatives' homes for temporary shelter. Hongxing is very famous in these ten miles and eight towns. Everyone knows that she and her maids and servants know some martial arts. Although their strength is not strong, they have some fighting ability.
If the Hongxing family can't resist the gangsters, even if the other villages are stronger, they probably won't be able to resist them either. These people were feeling uneasy, and when the people from the Hongxing sect arrived, the villages felt a little relieved after hearing that Hongxing was safe and sound. When they learned that Hongxing was going to convene nearby villages to discuss important matters, they rushed over immediately.
When Li Zheng or village owners from each village came to Taohua Village, they saw hundreds of coffins placed in the open space in front of the He family. The villagers of Taohua Village cried and collected the remains of their relatives with sad expressions. Some people fainted because they were so sad.
There were bloodstains everywhere on the ground, and many houses had been burned down, leaving only rubble and broken walls. Everyone was frightened and silently bowed to the rows of coffins. When Hongxing learned that everyone had arrived, she hurriedly invited them into the hall to sit down.
After everyone sat down, Hongxing told the story of the attack, saying that if it had not been for the unexpected help of four people from Ximen's family, no one in Taohua Village would have survived. He also introduced Ximen Shan, and everyone thanked Ximen Shan one after another.
At the same time, Hongxing told everyone that the purpose of the Boat Gang was not just to have a Peach Blossom Village, but to have all nearby villages submit to them. When everyone heard that it was a boat gang, they were all shocked. They all know the strength and style of the boat gang. Everyone immediately started talking, and someone asked Hongxing what her plans were.
Hongxing told everyone about her plan to form an alliance and assist each other, and asked everyone to consider it. Naturally, there are people practicing martial arts in every village, but their martial arts skills are not very high. If they were to face the boat gang alone, naturally no village would have the courage and strength.
As soon as Hongxing's suggestion was put forward, many people immediately agreed and unanimously elected Hongxing as the leader of each village. Hong Xingben had excellent medical skills, and many people nearby had been treated by her, so she was very famous. Hongxing repeatedly declined, but everyone refused to agree, and asked Hongxing to tell everyone what to do next.
At this moment, four people from Luo Chuan came in. Hongxing introduced Luo Chuan and the others to everyone, and everyone stood up to greet them and thank them. Luo Chuan and the others hurriedly returned the greetings and said a few words of modesty.
Hongxing asked everyone to sit down, told Luo Chuan and others that the villages agreed to form an alliance and were willing to rescue each other, and asked Luo Chuan and others for their opinions. Luo Chuan told everyone about the arrangements for people to monitor Jiang Mian, and then looked at Feixiang. He knew that Feixiang must have many plans, and he motioned for her to speak out her thoughts boldly.
Feixiang knew that the situation was critical and was not polite, so she revealed her plan. She hopes that each village will select able-bodied men to form village protection teams and hire people with strong martial arts skills as instructors. I usually have free time and practice martial arts diligently. One can protect the village, and the other can help neighboring villages. Beacon towers were built between villages.
In times of crisis, smoke is set off during the day and fires are lit at night. The remaining villages saw the alarm and went to reinforce them. In this way, the ten miles and eight villages become a whole. As long as everyone can unite as one, they will be able to defeat the enemy.
After hearing this, everyone applauded in unison. Of course, some people pointed out that there were no masters in their village and they had nothing to do with martial arts, so they were worried about not being able to find a suitable instructor. Therefore, they wanted to ask the four people from Ximen Mountain to teach the villagers martial arts for them.
However, Ximen Shan thought that the four of him still had the responsibility to protect Wu Zetian and could not stay here for too long. This time it wasn't that the boat gang acted too cruelly, Ximenshan had already left with the three of them to chase Feiyun. Ximenshan had no choice but to decline requests from various villages.
Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, Feixiang immediately told them that if they couldn't find a suitable person for a while, Mr. Zheng's escort chief and the escort masters from Bafang Escort Bureau could temporarily act as escorts. At the same time, they will also keep an eye out for everyone, and if they meet suitable martial arts people, they will introduce them to each village. Zheng Lang also expressed that he and the escorts from the escort agency were willing to serve.
Everyone was overjoyed to see that although Feixiang was only a beautiful girl in her twenties, she acted decisively and was extremely knowledgeable, and they couldn't help but admire her even more.
Hongxing was overjoyed to see that everyone's fear was gone, and immediately proposed that Ximen Shan be the leader of each village alliance. Everyone had heard that Hongxing had said that Ximenshan's martial arts was very powerful, and since his granddaughter was so knowledgeable, he himself was naturally even more superior, so he had no objection.
Ximen Shan quickly declined, saying that he was used to being idle and would not stay in one place for a long time. He was entrusted by someone to escort someone to Beijing. But he promised everyone that he would fight off the boat gang, a group of evil-doing gangsters, before they would leave.
When everyone saw Ximen Shan's refusal, they were inevitably a little disappointed. But after hearing that he promised to drive off the boat gang before leaving, he returned his anger and rejoiced.
At this time, someone came in to report that there was smoke from the barren mountains in the distance. Everyone was shocked, knowing that the boat gang had arrived at the riverside. Seeing this, Luo Chuan hurriedly looked at Feixiang.
Feixiang immediately shouted loudly: "Don't panic, please listen to me." Everyone felt relieved when they saw that Luo Chuan and others seemed confident and calm.
Hongxing said to Feixiang: "Miss Feixiang, if you have any orders, please speak up." Hongxing had already admired Feixiang so much that she naturally believed that she had an excellent response.
Feixiang had no time to be polite at this moment and directly told everyone his plan. Feixiang asked the villagers to return to the village immediately, summon strong men, preferably with more bows and crossbows, and rush to the foot of the mountain in front to gather together. Then, ask Mrs. He to arrange for them to ambush on both sides of the valley.
In order to buy more time for everyone, Ximen's family will rush to the mountain first to block the boat gang's progress. After everyone has set up an ambush, and based on the three screams, the Ximen family will lead the boat gang into the valley. At that time, everyone used bows and arrows to attack the people in the boat gang from both sides.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, except for those who are not weak in martial arts, other people should not come out to fight the gangsters head-on to avoid unnecessary casualties. They only need to shout and cheer.
Someone said worriedly: "If this doesn't stop them, what should we do?"
Feixiang knew that they were not confident enough, so he said: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as we persist for an hour or two, someone will soon come to reinforce us. Mr. Zheng, the escort chief, is well-known in Nanyang City. He has already sent people to attack the people in Nanyang City." If the major gangs ask for help, these people will definitely come soon."
Bafang Escort Bureau is well-known throughout Nanyang City, and everyone naturally knows that it is powerful. There are many sects in Nanyang City, and many of them must have good relations with the escort agency, so naturally someone will come to help. When everyone heard that there were these people as backup, their confidence naturally increased.
Upon seeing this, Feixiang asked Hongxing to discuss the following matters with everyone. She and Ximen and the other three wanted to rush to stop the enemy. Ximen Shan stood up, raised his hands to everyone, and turned around to leave. Zheng Lang, Dong Xue, Qiu Shuang, Lu Mei and Zheng Bai also stood up and wanted to go with Ximen Shan and others.
Seeing their resolute attitude, Ximenshan thought for a while and asked Zheng Lang to stay to help Hongxing arrange the following matters. Bu Luochuan was worried about an accident and asked Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue to stay in the village to protect the old, weak, women and children. However, the villagers of Taohua Village refused, saying that they did not need anyone to protect them.
