Feiyun spoke so bluntly that Lan'er suddenly blushed with embarrassment. She lowered her head and whispered softly: "Brother is making fun of my little sister. If I follow you, I will only be a burden to you."
Lan'er was naturally reluctant to leave Lin Feng, but for the sake of the future, she could only endure the temporary feeling of separation.
Seeing this, Liangchen hurriedly came to the rescue for Lan'er and said: "Brother, when Lan'er goes to Nanyang, she will naturally be escorted by Shaoxia, so they won't be separated immediately. If Shaoxia Lin has nothing urgent to do, he can stay in Taohua Village for a few more days. Of course, you can also send a message for eldest brother, so that Aunt Hongxing won’t worry about you and sister Lian’er!”
Feiyun was just joking, but after hearing Liangchen's words, he naturally didn't say anything else. Everyone ate and drank until the moon rose, and it was already dead of night.
At midnight, Feiyun thought that he would go to inquire about the platoon gang tomorrow, so he suggested that they go back and rest. Everyone had no objections and went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, the sun rose. Everyone got up one after another and ate something simple. Lin Feng asked Feiyun what his plans were for today.
Before Feiyun could answer, Liangchen came in and said, "Brother, Li Dutou from Ruzhou wants to see you!"
Feiyun and Liangchen left the room and came outside the inn. Feiyun raised his eyes and saw that it was Li Dutou from the government office. When Li Dutou saw Feiyun, he hurried forward and saluted with his hands in his hands: "I have seen the secret envoy in this humble position!"
Feiyun cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "Li Dutou doesn't need to be polite. I wonder if Dutou comes here so early, what's the important matter?"
Li Dutou replied respectfully: "Reporting to the secret envoy, yesterday the Yamen had found out accurate information about the Pai Gang. Today, the gangsters from the Pai Gang gathered together, which is a good time to wipe them out in one fell swoop. The prefect has already led all the Yamen servants to go to the Pai Gang first. Help, please come here with me, please give me a helping hand."
Feiyun thought to himself that they acted quickly and took the initiative. They must be worried that if we leave, they won't be able to deal with the Pai Gang.
Feiyun thought about whether something would happen at Ximen Mountain, so he whispered a few words to Tianxiang beside him, asking her to go and see what Ximen Mountain was planning. If Ximen Shan wants to leave Ruzhou today, advise him to postpone it for one day. Tianxiang nodded and left immediately.
Liangchen saw Feiyun talking to Tianxiang and knew that he wanted Tianxiang to meet Ximenshan, so he smiled and said: "Li Dutou, you are afraid that we will leave without saying goodbye, so you decided to deal with the Pai Gang in such a hurry, right?"
Li Du was stunned, he didn't expect Liangchen to speak so directly. But he knew that this was the person next to Feiyun, and his martial arts skills were high, so he naturally did not dare to offend him.
Although Li Dutou's expression was a little unnatural, he still answered honestly: "Girl, I misunderstood. We just hope that under the leadership of the secret envoy and all the experts, we can wipe out these evildoers as soon as possible. We believe that the secret envoy has not eradicated them." I won’t leave until I join the gang.”
Liangchen wanted to make a few jokes, but was stopped by Feiyun. Feiyun asked: "Li Dutou, where is the Pai Gang's lair?"
Li Dutou said: "The bank of the Ru River is two or three miles away from here! If we set off now, we will probably arrive before the prefect and others."
Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "Then please wait outside for a moment, Li Dutou. I still have some things to deal with." Li Dutou nodded in agreement.
Feiyun turned to Lin Feng and said: "Third brother, if you go to the Pai Gang, there might be a fierce battle. Sister Lan'er doesn't know martial arts and must stay here. Don't go, stay with her and protect her. Let's eradicate the Pai Gang. After helping you, come back immediately and send you away from Ruzhou."
But Lan'er said: "Brother, I don't want to stay, I want to go with you. It was precisely because of the Pai Gang's tyranny that my grandfather died. I must see their destruction with my own eyes to let go of the hatred in my heart. Brother, no need Worried about my safety, I have learned a few tricks from Brother Lin before, and with his jade flute in hand, I should be able to protect myself."
Lin Feng looked at Lan'er and saw that her face was glowing red. Obviously, with Lian'er's careful treatment and taking Lian'er's pills one after another, the injury has improved significantly.
However, Lin Feng was still worried and said: "Lan'er, it's just that your injury has not healed. Can you hold on?"
Lan'er smiled slightly and said softly: "Brother Lin, Sister Lian'er said that there is nothing wrong with me. Besides, I took a few of Sister Lian'er's elixirs and I feel very good now."
Liangchen also saw that although Lan'er looked weak, she was very stubborn at heart. Now that she is determined to go, it may be difficult for her to change her mind.
Liangchen then said: "Brother, I think it's better to take Lan'er with us. In this way, we don't have to worry about each other. When the time comes, I will protect her safety, so you can rest assured."
Feiyun frowned and turned to ask Lin Feng's opinion. Lin Feng thinks Liangchen's words are reasonable. He doesn't want to let Lan'er down, and he also wants him and Feiyun to be there to protect Lan'er at any time. Therefore, Lin Feng expressed his agreement with Liangchen's suggestion. Of course, he was also afraid that there would be too many masters in the Pai Gang and Feiyun and the others would not be able to cope with them.
At this moment, Tianxiang ran over. She quietly told Feiyun that Li Xian and his family wanted to rest in Ruzhou for one more day and set off again tomorrow. When Ximenshan heard that Feiyun was going to deal with the Pai Gang, he asked Tianxiang if he wanted to send someone to help.
Tianxiang believes that a small Pai Gang in Ruzhou will not have any very powerful masters. What's more, Ximenshan and others are responsible for protecting Li Xian, and their strength cannot be weakened. Tianxiang rejected Ximenshan's suggestion and asked Ximenshan to protect Li Xian's family and not worry about other things.
Ximenshan knows the martial arts of Tianxiang and Feiyun, plus Wang Hai and Feixiang, so there should be no problem in dealing with a platoon gang. Ximenshan no longer insisted, but told Tianxiang to protect himself. Tianxiang thanked her grandfather for his concern and hurried back.
Feiyun finally made up his mind after listening to Tianxiang's words. Seeing that Lin Feng agreed to take Lan'er with him, he said no more. Feiyun asked Tianxiang to call Feixiang and Wang Hai out and go to the gang together.
Liangchen suddenly said to Li Dutou: "Li Dutou, I want to borrow your horse, can you?"
Li Dutou thought it was Feiyun who wanted to ride, so he hurriedly replied: "Girl, you're welcome. This horse was originally prepared for you. Just take it, girl, and I'll lead the way."
Liangchen nodded his thanks, led the horse to Lan'er, and said to the beautiful scenery: "Third sister, help Miss Lan'er get on the horse!"
Lan'er had just gone to Li Dutou to call Feiyun his lord. Only then did he know Feiyun's identity, and hurriedly said: "Sister Liangchen, the eldest brother is a lord, so naturally he should ride."
Feiyun said: "Sister Lan'er, if you still treat me as your eldest brother, don't say these foreign words and get on your horse quickly. Don't waste time." Seeing Feiyun's words, Mei Mei immediately couldn't help but hug Lan'er. Get on horseback.
Feiyun immediately said to Li Dutou: "Li Dutou, please lead the way, let's go there quickly!"
Li Du bowed his head and accepted the order, turned around and strode forward. Feiyun, Tianxiang and Lin Feng followed closely, Liangchen led the horse, Lan'er sat on the horse, Meili, Feixiang, Lian'er and Wang Hai followed. The group left the inn and walked quickly.
As Lin Feng walked away, he asked, "Brother, it turns out you are still a secret envoy! Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known you were so noble, I wouldn't have dared to sworn sworn friends with you."
Feiyun said displeasedly: "Third brother, what are you talking about? I didn't mean to hide it. This is just a temporary title and cannot be taken seriously. I am handling a very secret matter for a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and she is acting for me. It’s convenient, so I asked the court to give me this temporary secret envoy status. Don’t take this to heart!”
Feiyun did not directly say it was Wu Zetian, lest Lin Feng become more curious and shocked. Lin Feng was indeed very surprised, and then said: "Brother, it seems that this high official has an unusual status!"
Feiyun's face darkened and he said: "Third brother, if you still care about your identity like this, I will be angry." Seeing that Feiyun was unhappy, Lin Feng had no choice but to keep quiet about the matter.
Not long after walking, the group arrived at the gate of Paibang by the Ru River. This is a large house not far from Ruhe River, next to Ruhe River.
There were several burly men standing at the door of the mansion, all with steel knives hanging from their waists, which was very scary. There is a very spacious open space in front of the door, which can accommodate hundreds of people.
Feiyun looked at it and was about to go over to ask questions when he saw a group of people walking from the side of the road. Everyone took a closer look and saw that the leader was none other than Prefect Liu, followed by more than a hundred government officials. Li Dutou hurriedly came forward to greet Prefect Liu.
Liu Taishou also saw Feiyun and others and had already dismounted. He first nodded to Li Du, then walked up to Feiyun, saluted and said, "Thank you, secret envoy!"
Feiyun hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "You're welcome, sir. This is as it should be. Let's go over now!" The prefect nodded in agreement.
The crowd gathered around Feiyun and Liu Taishou and came to the gate of Pai Gang. Liu Taishou immediately said: "All the government officials listened to the order and surrounded the platoon gang!"
All the government officials agreed in unison, and the shouts of more than a hundred people naturally shook the surrounding area. The gatekeeper at the gate of the platoon gang was stunned, knowing that the person coming was evil. Although they recognized that they were from the yamen, they pretended not to recognize them and shouted loudly: "Who are you? What's the matter here?"
Li Dutou was furious and shouted: "You are so blind that the prefect of Ruzhou has come and you haven't asked your people in charge to come out to see you!"
As soon as Li Dutou finished speaking, he heard someone inside reply: "I don't know that the prefect is here, but the common people are not welcome at a distance. Please forgive me!"
When everyone took a look, they saw a group of people walking out of the door. The leader was Yu Long, the leader of the Ruzhou Pai Gang. This Yulong is nine feet tall, over forty years old, holding an iron rod and a sword on his back. His eyes were shining brightly, and his internal strength was obviously not weak.
Next to Yu Long was a strong man in his thirties, eight feet tall and holding a machete. There are two burly men on the left and right of them, who should be the masters of the platoon gang.
Feiyun could tell from the figure and footwork of these people that this man in his forties had the best martial arts. The other few people have mediocre martial arts skills and probably won't be difficult to deal with.
Feiyun thought that if he wanted to avoid a melee, he would first have to restrain the leader of the platoon gang later. Otherwise, once the two sides engage in a melee, there will definitely be many casualties. After all, there are nearly 300 people on both sides combined.
