Jie Wendong bowed his head and listened to his arrangements. When he finished speaking every detail, he felt secretly shocked: Master Zhan is really sinister!
"...Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand." Xiewen Dong said, "Let's go and arrange it now!"
Feng Haijiao led a large group of people to stagger forward in Huangdangou. Because there was not enough food, they had to stop for a day and let some civilians return to Huwan to get food supplies. When they arrived at Daximen, it was actually later than Zhan Zhekun had predicted.
After a day's work, I finally stumbled in front of the west gate, but there were already many people and horses exhausted.
At the foot of the mountain, more than ten water jars have been prepared. The jars are filled with herbal tea, and the preparations are very appropriate.
"Good morning, sir." Huang Daqiao was ordered to greet Huang Daqiao with a smile on his face. "Shopkeeper Xin sent a young man to greet the master. Please rest here for a while with the brothers. It won't be too late to go up the mountain again." After saying this, he waved his hand and went back to the mountain.
A servant brought a table of eight or eight dishes of cold meat and noodles.
"This is a little thought from Shopkeeper Xin. Please have some snacks with me and Baojuan first."
Feng Haijiao had been sitting on the roller skates for a few days. He only had enough to eat and sleep. His body was sore and his mouth was tasteless. Xin Laonan was so attentive, and he didn't feel suspicious. On the contrary, he was very considerate. He thought that this old boy was very knowledgeable!
Here, a servant brought a few more trays, but they contained a shining two hundred taels of silver.
"This is a little greeting gift from Mr. Zhan to the brothers."
When Feng Haijiao saw that Xin and Zhan were so attentive, he felt that they must be afraid of him, so he tried his best to greet him. He was very satisfied and said: "You are so polite! Go and tell you that I will rest here for a while and then go up the mountain."
call."
Huang Daqiao said "yes" and was about to leave. Feng Haijiao suddenly stopped him and asked, "How is Shopkeeper Xin doing lately?"
"Thanks to Mr. Feng," Huang Daqiao was startled, "Shopkeeper Xin is still strong, but his legs and feet are slightly inconvenient."
This is Xin Laonan's old injury, so he washed his hands in a golden basin a few years ago.
"Don't you have any headaches?"
"Master Feng really loves to tell jokes," Huang Daqiao said with a smile, "The weather is nice, neither cold nor hot, but why do I suddenly have a headache and a fever..."
Feng Haijiao did not smile. He stared at Huang Daqiao with his clear yellow eyes. After a long time, he suddenly showed his face and said: "I am also thinking about my old friend."
"Thank you, Mr. Feng." Huang Daqiao said another greeting and slowly retreated.
Feng Haijiao's test just now did not make him notice anything strange. Large groups of people here arrived one after another. When the thirsty minions saw the water, they cheered and wanted to gather around to eat and drink, but he asked his soldiers to disperse them with whips.
.
"What a shame, you are in such a hurry to reincarnate!" He scolded and called his doctor, holding a silver needle to test whether there was any poison in the tea water.
After testing, it was found that there was no poison, so he let the minions drink it. He was not worried, and asked the doctor to test the food and wine at the banquet one by one. After making sure that there was no harm, he sat down and started eating and drinking.
After finishing eating and drinking, we started to make arrangements for going up the mountain.
Although he had determined that Xin and Zhan had no conspiracy, the bachelor who had been a bandit for many years was very cautious and had to be careful. He immediately called his cronies to make arrangements for going up the mountain one by one.
"We men are about to go up the mountain." Feng Haijiao said to the leader of his cronies, "Every one of you should be brighter in your moves! Although Old Man Xin is old, he is still not confused. With so many of us going up the mountain, it goes without saying that he has to be on guard.
"Looking at us, I think it's very awkward for everyone to be on guard so much. It's better to have two families together and have one family together."
The leaders cheered loudly, and Feng Haijiao signaled them to keep their voices down.
"Xin Laonan has been doing business for decades, and he always chooses big government and merchants to do business. Needless to say, Zhuangzi has a lot of good things-"
At this point, all the leaders showed greed in their eyes, and they were all eager to give it a try. Feng Haijiao continued: "...But Old Man Xin is not an ordinary person. He is willing to let us go up the mountain, so he is probably somewhat prepared. You have also seen it.
, the terrain of Leidapo is very dangerous, we cannot act rashly, you must all act according to my instructions."
After saying these words, he assigned his men one by one. He had walked the road up the mountain and probably knew that the most critical points on the terrain were the three gates starting from the Great West Gate. So he sent three capable men, each with twenty
He was called a follower and stayed on the spot after passing through a village gate.
"There are people from Xinjiazhuang guarding each village gate. There are not many people. You just need to stay where you are and watch them. If they ask, they will say that they are looking after the team that will transport the goods later. As long as you don't drive them away.
Don't fight with them, lest you cause trouble and disturb the mountains."
These men and horses are all his direct descendants. If they control the village gate, they also control the road up and down the mountain. They can advance and attack and retreat. Feng Haijiao will be in an invincible position. If Xin Laonan is honest, he will
Forget it, if there is any conspiracy, in the worst case scenario, he can lead the team to run away.
As a result, there are only less than fifty people in his direct lineage. However, considering that Xin Laonan only has twenty or thirty people, although Zhan Zhekun also has about thirty people, he is an outsider and has no chance at all.
It is necessary to stand up for Xin Lao Nan, who has no strength - after all, after Sun Dabiao's death, he is the most powerful among the three tribes in Yangshan, and Master Zhan is still counting on him to fight against the bandits.
If he doesn't drink wine as a penalty, it won't be difficult to eat him. After all, he has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength.
He calculated it over and over in his mind, and he was sure to make a profit from this matter.
After assigning his men, Feng Haijiao ate and drank some more. It was almost noon when he saw Bi Xuansheng riding a bad horse and slowly catching up from behind.
Although he was no longer as defensive as he was at the beginning, he always regarded him as an "outsider" in his heart, so during this relocation, he was sent to the rear to escort the property.
Escorting property and food requires a lot of effort and responsibility. If Bi Xuansheng can do it, he might as well promote him more in the future.
He did not say hello to Bi Xuansheng, but only called one of his followers:
"You pass my order to Master Bi, saying that he has worked hard escorting the luggage. The brothers and their families who are carrying the luggage are also tired. Let them rest for an hour at the bottom of the mountain before going up the mountain."
Then, he called Mo Chong:
"Take a hundred new brothers and follow the Chinese army up the mountain. If there is a change ahead, you will immediately lead people to respond!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Up the mountain!"
In the temple hall, there was a constant stream of people reporting on Feng Haijiao's movements. Zhan Zhekun felt a little nervous. Looking at Yang Juren, he didn't care about talking and laughing. He couldn't help but admire him in his heart - he was indeed a man of great influence in Guangning.
!
Thinking of this, he forced himself to calm down and act calm and composed, not wanting Yang Juren to underestimate him.
"Two gentlemen, Mr. Feng has passed the second village gate."
"Is there anyone left at the village gate?"
"I'm staying! It's just that it's far away and I can't see clearly. There are about twenty or thirty people."
"How many people are around him at this moment?"
"The younger one has counted fifty or sixty people."
"These are probably all his direct descendants," Yang Jinghui said.
"Will there be any more people to follow?"
"About a hundred people followed us up the mountain, but we haven't passed the second gate yet."
"This Feng Haijiao is really cunning and cunning." Yang Jinghui said with a smile, "It's hard for him. The arrangements are quite strict."
"If he wasn't cunning, how could he be willing to take advantage of me?" Zhan Zhekun was confident at this time.
Feng Haijiao led his team with great ambition. He climbed the mountain and passed the checkpoints without any obstacles. Only the first gate of the two gates he passed was guarded by twenty men, and the second gate was only guarded by two old men. And no one was guarding it.
He didn't dare to have any objections when he left people behind.
He saw that the main gate was just ahead. After passing this gate, there was no danger of Leidapo being defended. Xinjiazhuang was within his grasp.
The more he thought about it, the more proud he became. He saw several more dealers coming in front of him, and they came to greet them respectfully.
"Where is your shopkeeper Xin?"
"The shopkeeper is waiting in front of the temple, waiting to take care of the master." The banker said with an apologetic smile.
Feng Haijiao nodded, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he saw that everything was deserted, with only seven or eight villagers guarding the main entrance, and more than ten people working in the rice fields. There were no birds in the forest, and there was obviously no large group of people hiding, and he felt reassured.
a bit.
When they arrived at the temple, they saw Zhan Zhekun with a springy face and already waiting in front of the temple. There were only three or four servants around him. He couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, and he bowed his hands and said in return: "Where is Shopkeeper Xin?"
"Shopkeeper Xin has been injured in the past few days and has difficulty moving. I am waiting in the palace." Zhan Zhekun said with a smile. Feng Haijiao felt faintly uneasy, but he insisted that there were thirty or forty minions around him, all of whom were his direct followers. Even if
There was an ambush inside, but he could be saved from rushing out, so he said boldly: "In that case, let's go in and talk!" After saying that, he winked at his men and followed Zhan Zhekun in.
His men followed him in immediately, but the temple itself was not big. As soon as dozens of people came in, the courtyard was immediately full. The door of the main hall was open, and Xin Laonan was sitting in front of the Buddha statue in the hall. Although he could not see clearly,
He seemed to be looking good. There were only a few servants in the palace. He felt calm at that moment. He raised his head and entered the palace with a smile, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xin, you are well..."
Before he spoke, he only heard a gust of wind behind him, followed by a loud bang and flying dust. Feng Haijiao was startled, and just as he was about to turn around, he felt a heat on his face, as if he had been sprinkled with hot water. However, something special happened
The sticky feeling made him understand immediately: this is human blood!
Feng Haijiao was shocked and turned pale. When he looked back, he saw that the four servants who followed him into the main hall were beheaded to the ground. The originally open main door of the main hall was also tightly closed. Several minions were holding the door.
On top of the bar.
Outside, there were the roars of the minions he brought and the sound of banging on the door desperately. Feng Haijiao wanted to draw his sword, but he was forced by several spears and did not dare to move.
He forced himself to calm down and roared: "Xin, what do you mean?!"
