Chapter 97 The Fisherman’s Benefit
Author: Braised Egg Expert
If the news of the robbery in Heishui Village reaches Qingcheng, then Qizhai will definitely take action. Wei Hongran has probably made arrangements early, and he cannot be allowed to use this as an excuse to win over the people afterwards and make sophistry!
Lu Chengfeng strangled Wei Hongran's last escape route.
All these arrangements were made quietly, and the city of Jiuyuan remained the same. Four days later, news came that the 100,000 taels of military pay allocated by the imperial court had entered the territory of Subei.
Lu Chengfeng led Cui Anping's team and secured the mountain pass after dusk. She held the knife and leaned against a tree, holding a green leaf in her mouth and staring at the sunset in the distance.
The afterglow of the setting sun, the lone wild goose flying high, such a beautiful scenery, it would be great if there were people there too.
As soon as the curtain rose a few minutes, someone came to report: "Girl, there is a fight on the road."
Lu Chengfeng thanked him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Get ready to work."
Blackwater Village dispatched more than fifty experts this time to surround the escorting group. However, for some reason, these twenty or so people did not even resist. The people in Blackwater Village went through the boxes one by one to confirm that they were real gold and silver.
Liu Xi covered his face and asked everyone to move several large boxes back to the village. Not only that, he also ordered people to escort all the more than 20 people into Heishui Village.
The other two heads asked suspiciously: "Brother Liu, what do you want them to do? Just let them go. We don't need to kill anyone."
These twenty or so people were all wearing regular clothes, and the three of them had two different thoughts. Liu Xi thought that these twenty or so people were wearing regular clothes to conceal themselves from others so that they could escort the silver, while Fang Ge and the other one thought that they were the guards of the rich family.
The two of them also secretly wondered, how could this rich kid travel with a lot of money, and wouldn't he be afraid of bandits when he walked through the city in such a swagger? It can be seen that the joy of seeing so much money instantly dispelled this little doubt.
Liu Xi said: "We can't let it go now. It won't be too late until we have discussed the future matters tonight to prevent them from reporting to the official."
Brother Fang thought for a moment: "That makes sense."
He turned around and kicked his horse forward: "Take everyone back to the stronghold!"
The breeze comes slowly, bringing a chill to the cool night.
Heishui Village has placed several large boxes in the house. Celebration wine has already been placed in the village. After tonight, everyone will be able to live in peace for almost half their lives with their respective portions. Blackwater Village will no longer exist, and they do not need to work anymore.
The act of robbing homes and homes.
"Brother Liu, Fang Qiong gives you a drink!" Fang Qiong, the head of the house, was drunk and his eyes were blurry. He had a really good capacity for drinking. Everyone had poured a large amount, but he was the only one who was still holding on crazily.
Liu Xi touched a bowl with him with a smile, pretending to drink, but he didn't touch any of the wine. Seeing Fang Qiong finish the bowl and finish it, he put down the bowl with a smile.
After drinking, Fang Qiong saw that Liu Xi didn't drink, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Liu, why don't you drink?"
Liu Xi said: "How can you drink this drugged wine?"
Fang Qiong swayed: ".Drug?"
He reacted for a while, as if he suddenly came to his senses. Then he looked at a large group of people and suddenly said in a nervous voice: "Did you drug the wine?"
Liu Xi was calm and composed, and admitted unambiguously: "Yes, Menghan medicine will make you sleepy for two hours. When the officers and soldiers come to investigate, you can just take it."
Fang Qiong was not that stupid. He held on to his strength and understood everything in an instant: "You - you want to monopolize it? Liu Xi, you."
After saying that, his body tilted and he fell down on the table.
Liu Xi took a deep breath, looked around, smiled happily, and said loudly: "Here comes someone."
There were people from the Seventh Village in Heishui Village, and someone came out immediately: "Second Master."
"Go and send a message to the big boss, saying that the matter has been taken care of, so that he can feel at ease."
The man immediately smiled and said: "The second master, the first master knows that we are going to take action today, and is probably on the way here. We should arrive at dawn."
Liu Xi smiled slightly, but could not tell his emotion: "Well, then you take a few people to the mountain pass to meet him, so that the elder brother can't find the way."
The man did not doubt that he was there, so he called a few people and was about to leave the stronghold. As soon as he took two steps, several big men suddenly came out from the dark and chopped the man into pieces with two or three swords.
Those people were tall and their eyes were sharp as ordinary people. Liu Xi said: "Move the silver into the secret room."
Several people immediately responded and were about to go in. Suddenly, the surroundings were filled with flames. A group of officers and soldiers broke in at the door and surrounded everyone. Several people were obviously panicked and pulled out their knives one after another.
Liu Xi's face was gloomy: "You...which group of officers and soldiers are you from?"
Lu Chengfeng walked in from the gate with the person, his eyes slightly cold: "Which way do you think we are from?"
Liu Xi stared at her with a surprised expression, almost gritting his teeth: "Lu Chengfeng!"
"Oh?" Lu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It seems you recognize me."
Liu Xi's eyes were gloomy: "Of course I recognize you! I recognize you even when you turned into ashes! It was you who killed my eldest brother in the first place! You are finally back!"
Lu Chengfeng understood: "When you said that, I remembered that the bandit leader in Qingcheng seemed to have the same surname as Liu. Was he your eldest brother?"
Liu Xi said bitterly: "You killed my eldest brother, and I want you to pay with your life!"
Lu Chengfeng waved his hand, and his meaning was very clear. The garrison came from the military camp, and all of them were good soldiers. He immediately drew his sword and stood ready.
Lu Chengfeng said: "Looking at the current situation, if you want to kill me to pay for your brother's life, I'm afraid you can't. Why don't I send you down to reunite with him."
Tonight's change happened too suddenly, the number of people on both sides was too disparity, and victory or defeat was already determined.
"However, I can give you a chance." Lu Chengfeng took two steps forward and faced the village full of torches. The firelight reflected her indifferent face and said with a faint smile: "Since you want to kill me, let's
How about one against one? Of course I have conditions."
Lu Chengfeng likes to provide conditions that are beneficial to her when people's willpower is tight.
Liu Xi said nothing, but stared at Lu Chengfeng, obviously wanting to hear what the conditions were.
"I'll give you a pen and paper, and you will explain in detail the details of your collusion with Wei Hongran, and then I will go one-on-one with you to decide whether you will live or die. How about that?"
"How-how did you..."
"How do I know that you colluded with Wei Hongran?" Lu Chengfeng walked slowly and looked at him: "It's very simple, the flaw is in yourself."
Liu Xi didn't know what was wrong with him, but he couldn't care about it now, he was dead! He was going to die, so he couldn't care about the lives of others, but he was unwilling to do so, so Lu Chengfeng killed his eldest brother
, this moment is the last chance for revenge!
He couldn't take care of Wei Hongran or the Ji family!
Liu Xi said: "What if you go back on your word? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Lu Chengfeng smiled and said: "The Jiuyuan garrison is here, and I also want to face it. If I say it today, I will not break my promise. Otherwise, how can I get along in the military camp? Do you think so?"
Liu Xi said with a gloomy face: "Okay! Bring a pen and paper!"
Soon someone found paper and pen in the stronghold. Liu Xi swept the table, sat down and put down his pen. Lu Chengfeng was not in a hurry, thinking about the time, and waved. The squad leader of the garrison came forward, and she whispered
: "Tie up the people in Heishui Village first, don't kill them rashly."
"yes."
Everyone started working, and Lu Chengfeng waited patiently for him to finish writing. Qing Feng and the Ji family members came out of the back village after loosening their bonds, and stepped forward: "Master."
Lu Chengfeng asked: "Is he okay?"
Qing Feng said: "The surrender was timely. Only a few Ji family guards were slightly injured accidentally, and the money was all intact."
Lu Chengfeng nodded and stopped talking. Seeing this, Qing Feng stepped aside.
Soon Liu Xi finished writing his confession and adjourned it. Lu Chengfeng picked it up and looked at it. He put it away when he was satisfied. He looked at Liu Xi, threw the knife over and said, "Life or death depends on fate."
In fact, Lu Chengfeng had done many things like reneging on his word, such as helping Dan Vo get out of Lefangsi, or leaving a way for others to survive. However, some things can be done secretly, but not now.
She pulled out the knife, and the people around her had voluntarily given up space: "Back then, your eldest brother harmed one party, and now you are following behind to make trouble. You people are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Well, I sent your eldest brother away first, and I will also send you away tonight."
Send you away!"
"Ah - Lu Chengfeng, I want you to die!" Liu Xi roared with red eyes and rushed forward with his sword drawn.
Lu Chengfeng dodged sideways, and the two of them were facing each other with swords. Liu Xi was like a desperate angry lion, fighting to hurt both sides no matter what, and soon he smashed all the tables.
Liu Xi's martial arts is indeed not weak. Xie Jiuxiao took advantage last time. Now, relying on the hatred for Lu Chengfeng in his heart, he used every move to be extremely cruel. After a few rounds of fighting, he looked for an opportunity to stab Liu Xi.
When someone arrived, Lu Chengfeng flipped his wrist and suddenly strangled his neck from behind. Liu Xi gritted his teeth and roared, then suddenly stepped back without hesitation. The two of them were forced to hit the wall. Lu Chengfeng also strangled Liu Xi's neck.
, is attached to the inside.
Liu Xi laughed ferociously: "Go to hell!"
After saying that, the knife pierced through his lower abdomen. The sharp blade penetrated the flesh and blood of the person in front of him and penetrated into Lu Chengfeng's flesh.
Feeling the sudden pain, Lu Chengfeng grunted and pushed hard with his knee. The blade and the man were immediately pulled away. Liu Xi fell to the ground, his eyes wide open and breathless.
Blood was pouring from Lu Chengfeng's lower abdomen. She held it down and clenched her lower teeth because of the pain caused by the wound.
Qing Feng was so frightened that he almost lost his mind, and ran forward in a few steps: "Master - I - let me take a look..."
He never expected that Lu Chengfeng would be injured. At that critical moment, no one expected that Liu Xi would use this lose-lose style of play, risking his own life rather than injuring three points to relieve his anger.
Lu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "It's okay."
The wound penetrated three-thirds of the flesh, but did not damage any muscles or bones. It was a minor injury to her.
