Lei Yue Longmen

This is the most uneasy night for the people of Jiangyang this year.

In the middle of the night, it was suddenly reported that bandit soldiers approached the city, and the people in the east and south cities heard the banging on the door.Horseshoes galloped outside the wall, and the streets from east to west, north, south, and north seemed to be battlefields for fighting. The sound of drums beat from the south to the north of the city, and from the east to the west of the city.

Neighbors yelled for a while that the enemy had entered the city, and yelled for a while that they had not yet entered the city, and the officers and soldiers were fighting fiercely with the enemy.Who? Not sure.All the family members, old and young, gathered together, shivering and huddling together. When they heard that a neighbor climbed into the house, they were too busy? Looking for a pit in the cellar to drill into.Families with wealth hid their money one after another, so that when the bandits raided the city, they could save some money for their lives.Those who have no money at home went to check the rice jars at home to see how much food could be stored, maybe? After the city was broken, they would never be able to eat a full meal.The most terrified were the elderly, women and children. When the city was broken, the elderly could not protect their children and grandchildren, and the women and children had no power to fight back.

Mrs. Miao Jiang Yitai fiercely pushed her husband out of the house, but Miao Yuandong refused, and wanted to protect the old and the young at home, "We don't need your protection, you protect us by keeping the bandits out of the city. Go!" Miao Yuandong still couldn't make up his mind. At this time, the door was knocked eagerly, and the people from the county guard's mansion summoned him again and again.Miao Yuandong gritted his teeth, turned his head and walked out.When he reached the door, he turned around and rushed back, holding his wife in his arms and unwilling to let go. Although Mrs. Mi always disliked her husband's lack of ambition, at this moment, her heart was trembling and her eyes filled with tears.Who can predict this farewell? There is no chance to meet again.Maybe? Tonight is still the person in the arms, and the Ming Dynasty is the bone by the river.

The banging on the door continued until Chou Shi, and finally stopped for a while.But the streets are still running wildly with the sound of hooves and drums.Miao's family lived in Beicheng, so they couldn't hear the knocking on the door, but they could hear the horseshoes outside the wall.The whole family gathered in the front hall of the back hall and did not dare to close their eyes all night until dawn.Miao Yuandong has not come back, who? I dare not go out to inquire about the news at this time.Jiang Yitai was very worried.

At this time, the servant reported, "The master is back!" Everyone in the room, including the old man, stood up and waited for Miaoyuandong in front of the door.The latter stepped through the door with a mess of hair on his head.First, he gave Jiang Yitai a reassuring look, and then said to the old man, "Father, the bandits have retreated, and our family is safe." It's ecstasy and hugging each other, and I'm glad that I won't be taken away by the bandits to become Mrs. Yazhai or something.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yitai was still worried.

Miao Yuandong said excitedly: "We also just got the news that Marquis Wen Song led his army to burn the bandits' boat last night and drove away the bandits."

"It's Marquis Wensong, it turned out to be Marquis Wensong!" Everyone heard his name, as if seeing a savior, and the symphony conveyed the news.Jiang Yitai finally knew why Jiang Yiting had the courage to let her stay in Jiangyang. With the prestige of Marquis Wen Song, most of the troubles in Shangyang can be put down.

Miao Yuandong continued: "Now there are many boats parked on the Ruijiang River, one after another, and I can't see the tail. I have never seen so many boats in my life! You should go to the tower to have a look, then It was a rare and spectacular scene.”

"What ship?"

"The disaster relief ship!" Miao Yuandong said excitedly, "The imperial court has spent a lot of money this time. I guess all the boats on both sides of the Ruijiang River have been transferred to escort the food. This is really a shocking scene."

Jiang Yitai didn't know what Miu Yuandong said was true until he climbed the Jiangyang City Tower.

The surface of the Ruijiang River, which had rained, was still covered with mist, and square boats that looked like mountains were moored closely and orderly by the riverside.The white sails on the ship were lowered, and the red "relief" flags were hoisted one after another. Every ship had one, forming a long crimson dragon. It was invisible from the beginning to the end in the fog, but it looked very eye-catching.

It was only [-] days ago that Shangyang reported the disaster situation. It was not easy to collect so much food in just [-] days. In addition, so many ships were dispatched to travel upstream along the river to reach the victims.The beginning and end of this impact can be described as shocking.This requires a clear understanding of the situation in Shangyang and advanced predictive power.However, if there is a little neglect of the disaster situation, and the intensity of disaster relief is not enough, it will not be enough to resolve the hostility that is flying over the Ruijiang River.But if you use too much force, you will inevitably be unable to escape the critical questions of short-sighted people.The determination of the middle scale requires the ability of the coordinator to strategize and the skill to solve problems.It's not something ordinary people can pick up.

In just two or three days, Jiang Yitai witnessed a dramatic reversal in which disaster victims turned into rioters, and rioters turned into good people. They were more than terrified, and they inevitably regained their confidence in settling down.

I saw the team build up, and I saw the team disintegrate with my own eyes.Qin Liang couldn't figure it out, where did he lose?Isn't Yan Luo Wang's name big enough?Why did these common people disperse when they saw the grain ship.He returned to Xiongyaoling, and along the way he received news that the occupied county town had been taken back by the court. When he reached the wooden house on the mountain, Ah Sheng wanted to help him off his horse. He looked down at his feet, and even his calves began to betray him. It hurts violently.Ah Sheng noticed something strange, so he hurriedly carried him off his horse and into the wooden house. He used Wei Chi's herbal medicine that he had secretly picked up from the ground before, and applied it to his legs, and put a wet towel on his forehead.Qin Zhuo was in a daze when he heard a commotion outside the house, "Ah Sheng, what happened?"

"It's King Chujiang and King Biancheng. They want to kill Wei Chi's wife and children in public."

"What?" Qin Liang sat up in shock when he heard the words.Have him carried up to the flagpole.In order to vent their grievances, a group of frustrated bandits tied the orphans and widows to the flagpole, shouted at the crowd, and wanted to kill them in public to comfort their dead brothers.

"Without my order, who would dare!" Qin Liang yelled violently, gritted his teeth and supported the sedan chair to stand up.

The noisy bandits immediately quieted down when they heard this, and looked at him in fear.His forehead was full of blue veins, and his whole face was flushed with pain.A Sheng supported him, and he limped to the crowd.Qin Liang said loudly: "How do I usually teach? Yours, our knives are used to 'kill corrupt officials and punish injustice', not to bully the old and weak, women and children! Who tied them up, tell me!"

"It's me!" A thick-backed man came out of the flames with a broad black knife on his shoulder, followed by a long and thin pole with triangular eyes and a ghostly figure.

King Chujiang first glanced at Qin Liang's feet, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his lips.Then he took the knife off his shoulder and flicked it playfully, "King Qin Guang, is there any problem?"

The king of Biancheng beside him still didn't dare to show disrespect to Qin Liang, but it was obvious that the kid surnamed Chu had followed suit.Judging from this posture, they are not only going to kill, but also asking questions.

"Let them go."

"Let it go? King Qin Guang is not joking, right? So many of our brothers died in the hands of Wei, so if we let him go for nothing, wouldn't our brothers die in vain?"

Qin Liang didn't talk nonsense with him, he waved his hand to signal Ah Sheng to come forward, untied Mrs. Wei and the two young children, and sent them down the mountain.The King of Chu Jiang was so angry that he jumped, "Who dares!"

In an instant, the two parties will be on fire.Qin Liang shrank his pupils.That Chu Dajiang spat, "Since I, Chu Dajiang, have followed you, King Qin Guang, I haven't gained any benefits. We will fight with you, but you are fine. Money is not allowed, and women are not allowed to occupy it." Now even the city is lost. We have killed and injured so many brothers, is King Qin Guang going to give the big guy an explanation!"

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If you can't accept such a defeat, why don't you go down the mountain as soon as possible. I, Qin, will never stop me."

"You want to kick me away? It's not that easy! If you don't give me an explanation today, don't let the brothers go down the mountain."

At this time, Asheng suddenly said angrily: "King Chujiang, if you hadn't allowed your brothers to burn, kill and loot in the county towns, and let the common people regard us as enemies, would our county towns have been lost so quickly? You violated the military order first. , Your Majesty didn't execute you, but let you go down the mountain, what else do you have to say?"

"What are you? You dare to teach me! If? If I don't rob things, who will make up for the losses of the brothers? You are swollen and sold well. Have those ordinary people bought your account? Why don't you Get out!"

Qin Liang said angrily: "I said, if you are not satisfied, you can go down the mountain, and we will part ways. This is not only dissatisfied, but also lingering, what do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? Since I was born in the womb, I, Chu Dajiang, know how to rob. What I rob is my own. If you don't let me rob, that's good. You have to give me back the benefits of the loss!"

Qin Liang knew that he still hated himself for preventing him from leaving the city to grab money?

"Okay, if you can beat me, you can get everything you want."

"That's what you said. You guys can all bear witness to me. If I beat you, the whole Xiongyao Ridge is waiting for me!"

King Chujiang swung his sword and chopped at Qin Liang's supporting leg.Ah Sheng hurriedly threw a knife to Qin Liang.Everyone didn't even see it? Seeing clearly how Qin Liang made his move, he only heard a swipe, and the terrifying black iron heavy knife flew out of his eyes, and slammed into the flagpole with a bang.And on the handle of the knife was the bloody severed hand of King Chu Jiang.

Chu Dajiang turned his head and saw the severed hand, he belatedly yelled and fell to the ground in pain.Qin Liang turned his back on his knife and made a chirping sound, "Anyone else? Who is not convinced? Stand up!"

Everyone knows that his martial arts are so strong, but they don't know that he is so strong that even if he breaks a leg, he can still cut off an arm of King Chujiang.Including Ah Sheng, the Xiongyaoling brothers who had followed Qin Liang before suddenly gained momentum. They all raised the handles of their knives and "drinked and drank" to protest against King Chujiang and King Biancheng.

The king of Biancheng, who was sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, was so frightened that he hurriedly supported the king of Chujiang, bowed his back to Qin Liang, and said incoherently: "We don't want to benefit, let's go, we will go down the mountain."

midnight.A Sheng opened the door and came in, Qin Liang's face was pale, the battle just now had exhausted his strength.

"How many brothers are left on the mountain?"

"There are more than five hundred people left. Everyone sincerely admires the king, and no one is willing to leave. They are all willing to stay and accompany the king to tide over the difficulties."

"They're all good guys, I'm the one who can't stand them."

"Don't talk about your majesty like that, we brothers are all from poor backgrounds, and it's such a joy to be able to punish evil, promote good, and uphold justice with your majesty all these years! The two kings of Chujiang and Biancheng will never understand, 'Punish not What does "righteousness" mean? They can only be bandits all their lives, unpopular."

Hearing this, Qin Liang suddenly remembered the letter Wei Chi left him.

That wasn't cynicism, it was showing him a clear path.

In the letter, he still positioned the Yan|Luo gang as a righteous gang, independent of the imperial court, and hidden among the people.If you have to show up to resist, you can only kill yourself. If you are half-hidden, you may survive in the rivers and lakes for a long time.

"Jianghu?" Qin Liang murmured, lost in thought.
