Chen Yingliang's evil butcher's knife was placed on Qian Xiangmin's neck again. He looked nervously at Lu Mingming, who had just been forced to join the Wagang Army, and asked, "What do you mean by that? Those things have nothing to do with you?"
"It had nothing to do with me before, but now it has something to do with me." Lu Mingxing said with a sneer: "Today is the first transaction jointly made by my king and the kings of Wagang, which happened to stop you. What kind of Southern Dynasty are you talking about?" The treasure, of course, is related to me."
Chen Yingliang looked fiercely at Lu Mingxing, Lu Mingming's eyes were even more fierce, with endless greed, and shouted: "Say it quickly! Otherwise, I will kill you! Brothers, prepare for me!"
Amidst the miscellaneous promises, a group of rebel troops belonging to Lu Mingxing's department raised their swords and guns and stepped forward, shouting and persecuting, while the Wagang Army team belonging to Xu Shiji remained rigid and motionless, showing a rather good psychological quality. Seeing this scene, Chen Yingliang's complexion inevitably changed even more, and he shouted again: "Don't come here, or I will kill King Shaoling! He is the only one in the world who knows where the treasure of the Southern Dynasty is!"
While yelling, Chen Yingliang actually drew a knife on Qian Xiangmin's neck, frightening Qian Xiangmin into tears, and quickly followed Chen Yingliang's words, "Don't come here, don't come here!"
Before he figured out the secret of the treasure, of course Lu Mingxing would not be so stupid as to actually kill Chen Yingliang and Qian Xiangmin. He immediately waved his hands to stop the soldiers under his command, and then threatened Chen Yingliang fiercely: "If you want to live, you can tell us first." What is the treasure of the Southern Dynasty, and then we can consider letting you go. Otherwise, we don’t know whether your treasure of the Southern Dynasty is real or not anyway, and even if you kill this King Shaoling, it has nothing to do with us.”
Chen Yingliang hesitated, his triangular eyes turned wildly for a moment, and then he turned to Xu Shiji and said, "King Xu, you are a famous Wagang hero, you keep your word, as long as you promise, if I tell you about the treasure of the Southern Dynasty You let us go, and I will tell you the secret of the treasures of the Southern Dynasty. In the future, we, Emperor Liu, will definitely thank you. Otherwise, even if I die with King Shaoling, I will not let you know about the treasures of the Southern Dynasty. The secret of the treasure."
Seeing that Chen Yingliang spoke solemnly, Xu Shiji pondered for a while, and finally he couldn't resist the temptation of the secret of the treasure. He also considered that it didn't matter whether he killed Chen Yingliang and the others, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"Thank you, King Xu. Your words are like a mountain. I believe you." Chen Yingliang also nodded, and then said solemnly: "Actually, many people in Jiangdong know this secret now. It's okay to tell you. When Chen was destroyed, the Southern Chen army was defeated in a row and was about to be destroyed. The Emperor Chen Shubao of the Southern Dynasty knew that the situation was over, so he hid the gold, silver, jewels and rare treasures accumulated by the four generations of the Southern Dynasty for 170 years in a very secret place, preparing for the future. Use it for himself or his children and grandchildren to restore the country, and then surrendered to the Sui army with their children and grandchildren."
"You all know what happened later." Chen Yingliang added: "Chen Shubao was appointed an official by the Sui court, and died of illness in Luoyang a few years ago. When he was dying, Chen Shubao's prince, Chen Shen, was not by his side and was placed by the tyrant. In Wanhan, thousands of miles away, Chen Shubao had no choice but to tell the secret of the treasure to the Shaoling King Chen Jing, so that he could either pass it on to his children and grandchildren, or take out the treasure himself if he had the opportunity, recruit soldiers and buy horses, and raise his troops. Restoration of the country. After Tianzi Liu got the news, he sent me to sneak to Luoyang with some people, finally rescued King Shaoling, and asked him to change his appearance and go south to Jiangdu with the team of Taifu Prime Minister Qian Xiangmin. Go to Jiangdong to join our team of Emperor Liu."
Being fooled by Chen Yingliang's random nonsense story, Xu Shiji couldn't help being a little tongue-tied, and blurted out, "How did you know such a confidential matter?"
"Of course it was the Shaoling King who told us." Chen Yingliang patted Qian Xiangmin's face with a horizontal knife, and explained: "After our Emperor Liu started an incident in Wu County, we won consecutive battles and beat the officers and soldiers with their heads in their hands. Our Emperor Liu is someone we can rely on, so he took the initiative to send someone to contact us, told us the secrets of the treasures of the Southern Dynasties, and said that as long as we rescued him back to Jiangdong, he would give the treasures to us, Emperor Liu, and called on the Southern Dynasties The common people of Chen rose up to respond to our Emperor Liu, and joined us to overthrow the violent Sui Dynasty. After the event was completed, the world was divided equally. Our Emperor Liu sent me to bring some reliable people to save King Shaoling and sacrificed several brothers in order to fight against the great cause of the Sui Dynasty. , which brought him here."
He babbled nonsense, noticing Xu Shiji's skeptical calculation expression, Chen Yingliang didn't give Xu Shiji a chance to analyze the flaws in it, and immediately said loudly: "King Xu, I have already told you the secret of the treasure of the Southern Dynasty. You can go, right? It's the same sentence, as long as you keep your promise and let us go, we, Emperor Liu, will be grateful in the future."
"Okay, you can go." Lu Mingxing took up the conversation, pointed at Qian Xiangmin and said with a grinning smile, "But King Shaoling can't leave, he has to stay."
"You don't keep your word!" Chen Yingliang was furious.
"What's the matter if you don't believe what you say?" Lu Mingxing showed his true colors, and waved his team forward, and said with a smirk: "If you are smart, leave King Shaoling and get out, otherwise, you will die today! "
"Don't come over here!" Chen Yingliang hurriedly gestured at Qian Xiangmin's neck with a horizontal knife again, while being careful of Lu Mingxing's team that had already approached the boat, he shouted: "Go away! Otherwise, I will kill him! The whole world As long as he knows the location of Nanchao's treasure, if he dies, you will never get anything!"
"King Shaoling, don't be afraid." Lu Mingxing grinned again and said to Qian Xiangmin hypocritically: "King Shaoling, you might get hurt a little, but it's okay, we will save you right away, and then we will save you." I will escort you to Jiangdong to restore the country, treat you as the master, and help you conquer the world, which is much better than you and Liu Yuanjin dividing the world equally."
"King Shao Ling, don't believe this despicable villain!" Chen Yingliang roared in a dignified manner, then turned to Xu Shiji and shouted: "King Xu, your Wagang Army is a world-renowned righteous teacher, and you are also an upright fighter!" Great hero, are you going to act like Lu Mingxing, a despicable villain, who broke his promise and attacked our anti-Sui friendly army?"
Xu Shiji, who was still thinking about the truth of Chen Yingliang's words, hesitated. In order to gain time for himself to consider and analyze, Xu Shiji had to stop Lu Mingxing quickly and said, "King Lu, don't worry, we promised to let him go..."
"King Xu, as we said just now, this deal is done for one and half of us." Lu Mingming interrupted Xu Shiji in turn, and said with a smile: "Now the deal is almost done, I only need this King Shaoling, and the rest It's all yours."
As soon as the words fell, there were angry roars in the Wagang army. Chen Yingliang was immediately amused, and hurriedly shouted: "Lu Mingxing, you shameless villain, you want to monopolize the treasures of the Southern Dynasty, dreaming! Xu Dawang , you help me slaughter this Lu Xingxing, we will share 30% of the treasures of the Southern Dynasty with you, our Emperor Liu keeps his word and never regrets!"
Lu Mingxing's face changed, and he grasped the horizontal knife subconsciously, and with a loud clang, the horizontal knife came out of its sheath, which immediately caused a chain reaction. Xu Shiji, who was standing very close to Lu Mingxing, retreated reflexively. Everyone in the Wagang Army drew their swords and raised their guns together, and then the subordinates behind Lu Mingxing also raised their weapons. Even the teams of the Wagang Army and Lu Mingxing, who joined forces for the first time to do business, were also on guard, glaring at each other, and their swords were on the verge of breaking out. Ready to start fighting. It was also at this time that Xu Shiji roared, "Lu Mingxing, what do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, just to be careful." Lu Mingxing said with a sneer: "Brother Xu, it's still the same sentence, this deal is done, now I only want King Shaoling, and the rest is yours, you promise Promise, or if you don’t agree, you have to agree.”
"Xu Dawang, be careful, he is going to kill you!" Chen Yingliang started bluffing again, first reminded Xu Shiji to be careful, and then yelled: "Xu Dawang, I believe in your character and killed Lu Mingxing I will hand over Shaoling King to you, you will get 30% of the treasures of the Southern Dynasty, and 70% will go to our Emperor Liu, and we will join forces to fight against the Sui Dynasty and overthrow the tyrant Yang Guang! If you think 30% is too little, we can discuss it!"
"Who wants to break up with you?"
Xu Shiji was annoyed, and just wanted to explain the misunderstanding to Lu Mingxing, but Chen Yingliang kindly yelled: "Brother Wagang behind you, kill Lu Mingxing quickly, and I will give you a hundred taels of gold! Hurry up, hurry up!"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Mingxing, who reacted quickly, took two steps forward in order not to be attacked by others, and because he was holding a knife in his hand, the general of the Wagang Army beside Xu Shiji was afraid that he would suddenly attack him, so he quickly moved forward. He came forward to protect Xu Shiji, and pointed the knife at Lu Mingxing. Immediately afterwards, in order not to be harmed by the Wagang Army, Lu Mingxing had to roar and smash the horizontal knife pointed at him.
There was a loud bang of gold and iron, and the horizontal knife pointed at Lu Mingxing was smashed away, but the consequences were serious. Amidst the roar, the Wagang Army troops who had long been displeased with Lu Mingxing waved their hands without saying a word. The sword went to kill Lu Mingxing's soldiers, and killed several Lu Jun soldiers who were caught off guard on the spot. Of course, Lu Jun's team refused to sit still, and they all roared and swung their knives to fight back. An anti-Sui rebellion fire broke out completely.
The soldiers have already started fighting, and if the generals don't do anything else, they will be waiting to be killed. Lu Mingxing reacted the fastest, swiping his knife and slashing at Xu Shiji's head. Wait, General Wagang and General Lu Jun next to them started fighting without saying a word, and the fight was turned upside down immediately, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, swearing and swearing, accusing each other of treachery and killing friendly troops.
On Chen Yingliang's side, both Qian Xiangmin and Pei Cuiyun were stunned. Qian Xiangmin was a bit better. He had seen the miracles created by Chen Yingliang. Although he was surprised by this, it was no longer novelty. Pei Cuiyun looked at Chen Yingliang. They were already stupid, and murmured, "You guy, you are too good at deceiving people, aren't you? Well, two thieves, in such a short time, you deceived them into a direct fight?"
Chen Yingliang was not overly surprised or happy when he succeeded in being deceived. He just paid careful attention to the surrounding environment, especially the Wagang Army sailors on the boats behind him. .
Those who should come will definitely come. Finally, the four official ships of the Bao Guojun finally appeared in Chen Yingliang's field of vision with flames and black smoke. Then, the four official ships approached the north bank of Tongji Canal one after another. , the Baoguo army in white robes jumped onto the land like dumplings, roaring and brandishing their knives to kill the rebel army in the scuffle. Pei Cuiyun's elder brother Pei Xingyan rushed to the front. At the same time, the private boat that Zhangsun Wuji and Ma Sanbao were riding on finally appeared in Chen Yingliang's field of vision, which made Chen Yingliang extremely depressed—he thought that he was still his mother's brother-in-law, and at the critical moment, he was not as good as Pei Cuiyun. I can afford to let go, I know that I decisively hijacked the boatman and rushed to rescue me.
At this time, Xu Shiji on the shore yelled at Chen Yingliang again, "Liang Shilang, King Shaoling, you go ashore quickly, the officers and soldiers are coming, and we are restrained by Lu Mingxing's team of thieves, so we have to withdraw immediately. Don't be afraid, I will take You go."
Chen Yingliang turned his head and saw that Xu Shiji was holding a human head in his hand, and the bloody one was Lu Mingxing's head. After secretly praising Xu Shiji's martial arts skills, Chen Yingliang hurriedly said: "King Xu, we don't have to leave, our identities You can continue to go south to Jiangdu before you are exposed. You go, this army is the famous Dongdu Baoguo Army, you can't beat him, you go!"
"Dongdu Baoguo Army? White-robed soldiers?!" Xu Shiji was stunned for a moment, then screamed, and when he quickly turned his head to look at the battlefield, he saw that the Baoguo Army team was indeed extremely fierce, rushing into the melee battlefield like tigers He is as fierce as a flock of sheep, he kills everyone he sees, he slashes with steel knives and iron axes like a violent storm, he has already killed a large number of rebel troops in a short time, even if he trained carefully The Wagang Army team that came out was also because of the absolute inferiority in morale and weapons and equipment, and because of the restraint of Lu Mingxing's team, it was completely vulnerable to the Baoguo Army. —By the way, this is also because the Wagang Army is still in its infancy and is far from reaching its peak combat effectiveness.
Shocked, Xu Shiji's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "Aren't the white-robed soldiers stationed in Luoyang? Why did they come to Yongji Canal here?"
"King Xu, I will explain this question to you in detail when I have a chance." Chen Yingliang, who was still surrounded by the Wagang Army, urged: "Go, these white-robed soldiers are too powerful, and they are on fire again. You and them now Fighting recklessly will only lead to death in vain. Go away!"
I saw with my own eyes that another school regiment of my own was killed and disbanded, and saw that my team and the remnants of Lu Mingxing had collapsed one after another. The heads of the soldiers were smashed into pieces, Xu Shiji completely believed Chen Yingliang's words. But the more he believed, the less Xu Shiji would naturally let Chen Yingliang and Qian Xiangmin leave easily, and immediately turned to Chen Yingliang and said, "Brother Liang, King Shaoling, you should go with us. If the officers and soldiers discover your identities, you will die."
"Thank you King Xu for your kindness, but there is no need, we have our own countermeasures." Chen Yingliang flatly refused, still carefully placing the horizontal knife on Qian Xiangmin's neck, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, King Xu, I promise to share with you." 30% of the treasure, we will definitely cash it in, we Liu Tianzi are just like you, we are all indomitable heroes, we keep our promises, we are not a despicable villain like Lu Mingxing who has no promises!"
Being put on one after another by Chen Yingliang, Xu Shiji, who had a high self-esteem, was of course embarrassed to tear his face and order to do it. He hesitated for a while, but the other generals of the Wagang Army quit and shouted: "Brother Xu, We can't let them go, no matter whether the treasure of the Southern Dynasty is real or not, since King Shaoling asked us to come across it, we can't let them go!"
"Cuiyun, protect my back!"
Chen Yingliang gave the order decisively, and Pei Cuiyun, who had rich experience in fighting with others, did not hesitate, and immediately stood behind Chen Yingliang, standing back to back with Chen Yingliang, carefully guarding against the Wagang Army sailors on the boat behind Chen Yingliang. Then Chen Yingliang tightened the horizontal knife on Qian Xiangmin's neck and shouted: "Don't come here! King Xu, although I admire your righteousness, but this King Shaoling is the one our Emperor Liu wants. I will never hand him over to anyone! Either you let us go, or we will die together, and we will fight to the death!"
"King Xu, let's go." Qian Xiangmin, whose neck skin has been cut, also cried, "The treasure of the Southern Dynasty is in Jiangdong, and you are in Wagang, thousands of miles away. Tell you, you can't get it, let us go, I promise you, I will give you 30%! I will give you 30%!"
Xu Shiji was in dire straits. On the one hand was the unstoppable patriotic army that was getting closer and closer, and on the other was Chen Yingliang who would rather die than hand over the money to the people. Even though Xu Shiji had an absolute local advantage, he was helpless for a while. Chen Yingliang also understood Xu Shiji's thoughts, so he shouted again: "King Xu, you heard what King Shaoling said. Wagang is thousands of miles away from Jiangdong. Even if you know where the treasures of the Southern Dynasty are hidden, you can't get them. You might as well do it." Personal favors let us go, and when we get the treasure, we will naturally repay you and give you 30%."
The team of Bao Guojun was less than 300 steps away from this position. The Wagang Army and Lu Mingxing's team who were fighting in the scuffle could not resist at all. Seeing the critical situation, Xu Shiji gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, and shouted: "Everyone, withdraw! Let them go!"
"Brother Xu!" A Wagang Army general exclaimed.
"Shut up, I told them to go, didn't you hear me?" Xu Shiji scolded angrily, and waved again to order to retreat. The Wagang army's small boat team surrounding Chen Yingliang had no choice but to row their oars and retreat downstream. At last, Chen Yingliang, who was once surrounded by water, finally won a way out.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Chen Yingliang hurriedly said to Xu Shiji: "King Xu promises a thousand pieces of gold, and he is really bold. Please rest assured, King Xu. After we Tianzi Liu finds the treasure of the Southern Dynasty, we will definitely fulfill our promise and share 30% with you."
"I hope so." Xu Shiji murmured in his stomach, then cupped his hands to Chen Yingliang and said, "Liang Shilang, since you insist on leaving, and Xu has promised to let you go before, then Xu will naturally not break his promise, please take care of yourself." Let it go. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will always flow, and there will be a period later.”
"There will be a period later." Chen Yingliang bowed his hand to return the gift, and Xu Shiji, who had no other choice, turned his head and left immediately without any hesitation, but Chen Yingliang became greedy again, and suddenly shouted at Xu Shiji who had already turned around and was about to leave: "King Xu, please wait a moment." .”
"What else?" Xu Shiji turned around and asked.
"The head of Lu Mingxing in your hand, can you give it to me?" Chen Yingliang pointed to the head in Xu Shiji's hand and asked, and then explained: "This time, in order to help King Shaoling get out of danger, we used money Xiangmin Qian Fucheng, an insider. , Both of his boats were destroyed by you, you need this head to atone for his sins, so that he can continue to lurk in the tyrant's court, the matter is very important, and I hope King Xu will make it happen."
"So that's the case, it's a trivial matter."
Xu Shiji smiled, and casually tossed Lu Mingxing's head to Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang took it, and his treacherous face burst into laughter—this head is another solid proof of our Chen Yingliang's reputation. Jun Zanzhi went to govern the local area to suppress the rebellion, and on his way to take office, he got the head of Lu Mingxing, the big thief who once besieged Dongjun City. When the news got out, the Sui court couldn't make another sensation about Chen Yingliang, right
