Whoosh~~

With the sound of clothes, seventy or eighty people jumped down from the surrounding trees.

Immediately after, the figure flickered, and a middle-aged monk appeared to float to the front of the team, showing extremely clever light skills.

He clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said, "Master Cui drove the guard Qian Shun to see Li Gongzi!" ”

"Guards? Not even an official? ”

Li Xiu's nose was so hung that he was crooked, and said: "In the eyes of this son, your kung fu is a figure that can be counted in the whole world." What benefits did Cui Geng promise you, and it was worth your life for him? ”

Qian Shunlai took out half a roast chicken, took a bite, and said vaguely: "The monthly salary is five times, and a pair of shoes and hats in winter and summer!" ”

"That's it?"

"Isn't that all? This money is really not enough to spend, so I gathered these brothers and wanted to arrest you Li Gongzi and ask for credit and reward in front of Master Cui! ”

After finishing speaking, with a wave of his big hand, more than 70 people each pulled their blades and rushed up.

Don't look at the fact that they don't have an advantage in numbers, but they are all martial arts masters, and when they fight with Li Xiu's three hundred people, they don't fall behind at all.

After fighting for a while, the old slave Li Qing said loudly: "Son, it's not a matter if it goes on like this, they must have sent someone to send a letter to Cui Geng a long time ago." After a long fight, we won't be able to leave. ”

Li Xiu and Qian Shunlai fought at this time, and said anxiously: "My son wants to go, can he go?" ”

"It's okay, look at how powerful the old slave is!"

Li Qing said loudly: "The children of the secret hall listen to the order, and the time has come to repay the son." Follow the old man to block this group of enemies and protect the son to break through! ”

"Whoa!"

This group of henchmen cultivated by Li Xiu was really unambiguous, and they agreed, and used the trick of fighting for their lives in the name of Qian Shunlai and others.

Qian Shunlai's people didn't have such a strong desire to win~ Wang, and they refused to work hard, after all, they were rushed over by Li Xiu with people.

After running for more than 30 miles in a row, out of Wulong Mountain, Li Xiu paused.

He carefully counted the number of people, and couldn't help but secretly scream bitterly.

It turned out that except for him and Xiao Wuniang, the remaining 200 or so people were all officers and soldiers from Netzhou, and the people of the secret hall were probably all killed.

Without these people, I'm afraid it would be a big problem to be able to successfully control the secret hall.

Of course, the more adversity there is, the more reassuring it is.

Li Xiuqiang calmed himself and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Han Gaozu was once chased by the overlord of Chu to abandon his wife and children, and eventually became a generation of hegemons. Liu Bei was also once forced by Cao Cao ~ to have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground. All you need to do is ......"

"You don't have a chance." Yao Quan, the commander of the officers and soldiers of Wangzhou next to him, suddenly spoke coldly.

Li Xiu's heart was shocked, and he said, "Huh? What did you say? ”

Yao Quan stood up unhurriedly and said, "I said...... You don't stand a chance! Li Gongzi, let's open the skylight and say something, I have been with you until now, and it is already benevolent and righteous. Right now...... Please just tie your hands and find a way out for us. ”

All the officers and soldiers of Wangzhou cooperated tacitly, and at this time, they all got up and surrounded Li Xiu and Xiao Wuniang.

Li Xiuchong killed in the middle of the night, extremely tired, and after a little calculation, he understood that even if he didn't take Xiao Wuniang with him, it would be absolutely impossible for him to rush out.

He took a deep breath and said, "When you are about to defect, don't you ignore the great favor of the Yao family?" ”

Yao Quan grinned and said, "Okay, Gongzi Li has wasted all his efforts, I did this because I was instructed by Lord Yao." ”

"Huh? What the? ”

"Ahhhh Do you really think Master Yao has been bewitched by your set? In fact, he is protecting the Prime Minister, not you Li Xiu! From the moment I learned that you had a different heart, Lord Yao gave me an order. If you have been doing well, listen to your orders for the time being, and then strike back at the critical moment. If you are defeated...... I'm sorry, I'm just the hero who was ordered by the king to capture the thief! Li Gongzi, you accept your fate! ”

……

……

Outside the city of Lizhou, Huangze Temple.

As soon as Cui Geng woke up, he was stunned by two news.

One was the fake monk Qian Shunlai, carrying a huge sack, and asked him for credit with a smile. What was contained in this sack was, of course, the master of the secret hall under Li Xiu.

In addition, Qian Shunlai told Cui Geng that he thought that when he was in Fangzhou City, someone secretly followed him, and he was also secretly cooked by the mysterious organization under Wei Shifang, otherwise Cui Geng would never have been able to rescue Li Xian so easily.

This mysterious organization has done such a great thing, and its strength is much stronger than that of Freemasonry.

Cui Gengqiang suppressed the idea of taking this mysterious organization for his own use, and deliberately pretended not to understand what Qian Shunlai meant, saying that he was willing to ask for credit for him, and a benevolent and brave captain of the ninth grade was always indispensable.

Qian Shunlai was not too small, chuckled, and knelt down to thank him.

If the first news can be perfunctory, the second news, he doesn't know what to do - the officers and soldiers of Wanzhou led by Yao Quan captured Li Xiusheng alive, claiming that they were ordered by the prime minister Li Dan to arrest Li Xiu.

This statement is good, and Li Dan was taken out at once, and Cui Geng could only pinch his nose to accept it even if he had more doubts.

However, without Li Dan, there is also the Longxi Li family, and the secret hall.

If Li Xiu is really allowed to talk nonsense in the lobby, what should he do? Could it really be that with the help of the power of the imperial court, the secret hall was wiped out?

Don't forget, although the secret hall is not very good, it is still the "public property" of the five surnames and seven hopes, and even Cui Geng himself may compete for the position of the hall master.

What can I do?

In desperation, Cui Geng had no choice but to put Li Xiu in prison, and on the grounds that the case was serious, he was not allowed to see anyone except the jailers.

Xiao Wuniang begged to see Cui Geng a few times, and was even willing to recommend herself for a pillow seat, and asked Cui Geng to let Li Xiu go.

However, all to no avail.

First, Cui Geng really doesn't have that mind, and second, isn't there Cui Xiufang and Song Xue'er?

Cui Xiufang's small vinegar jar goes without saying. Song Xue'er has unparalleled color and poetry books in her belly, so it is not an exaggeration to call her the first talented woman in Shu.

Although Cui Geng pitied her life experience, he always felt that this woman was too scheming, and she was afraid that she was not a good couple, and she didn't want to take her as a concubine. But the more this is the case, the more interested Song Xueer is in Cui Geng. These days, she has been by Cui Geng's side, looking for opportunities. How can Xiao Wuniang be allowed to take the lead?

Time is like an arrow, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, Cui Geng's mansion ushered in two uninvited guests - one is Li He, the patriarch of the Li family's Anbungalow in Longxi, and the other is Li Yingxia, the patriarch of the Li family in Longxi.

Cui Geng politely let the two into the living room, and said lukewarmly: "The two old men, they are not in Huaili Village to recuperate, but they came to Chengdu Mansion to find me Cui Erlang, I'm afraid they have nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace, right?" ”

"Uh...... This one...... To tell you the truth, the old man wants to give Erlang something. ”

As soon as Li Yingxia made a look, Li He took out a brocade box from his sleeve pocket. When he opened the box, there were seven arrows inside.

These seven arrows are all made of gold and decorated with precious stones, and they are sparkling and extraordinarily beautiful.

Cui Geng took a closer look and found that there was a line of words engraved on the arrow rod, and it was surrounded by patterns of different textures.

"Longxi Li's ...... Bolingcui's ...... Taiyuan Wang's ...... Qinghe Cui's ...... Zhaojun Lee's ...... Xingyang Zheng's ...... There is also Fan Yang Lu's ...... What is it? ”

Li Yingxia smiled and said: "This is the arrow of the succession of the five surnames and seven hopes, collect all seven branches, Erlang, you are the new master of the secret hall." ”

After Cui Geng heard this, he was not so excited.

He understood that it was not that the Li clan in Longxi suddenly changed his mind and decided to support himself. is afraid that he will be ruthless, and he will really let Li Xiu climb the Li family in Longxi.

No, there is no need to even climb, as long as Li Xiu tells the truth, it is enough for the Li family in Longxi to drink a pot.

That's why they collected all the arrows of the seven families in just half a month, and bowed down to themselves.

Thinking of this, Cui Geng said lightly: "I see." But...... How do I remember that I lost two of the three major questions of the Li family in Longxi? I'm afraid I don't deserve to be the master of the secret hall, right? ”

"Alas, don't mention this stubble when Cui chacha visits you." Li Yingxia knew that it was difficult to pass today, so he simply told the truth and said, "It's not that you didn't answer well at the beginning, but that some clan elders secretly accepted bribes from Li Xiu." After all, no matter how big the benefits you give, it is also for the entire Longxi Li family, so it is better to give private pockets for safety, right? ”

Needless to ask, this certain clan elder must include Li Yingxia.

The killing is not too much, and Cui Geng will not expose it, and said: "Then Li Xiu, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

"Uh...... Why don't you report him to death? ”

The so-called death is death from illness in prison. The prison officials had the means to make the deceased die without scars, but they only deduced that the prisoner was suffering from a sudden illness, which was really the best reason to kill people in prison.

Anyway, the case of those armor weapons has been claimed by Yao Shou. killed Li Xiu like this, and the Li family and the secret hall in Longxi had no opinion, and Cui Geng had to agree at that time.

But at this moment, suddenly—

While!

There was a noise outside the window.

"Who?"

The confidential matters discussed by several people cannot be leaked.

Cui Geng and the others hurriedly went out to take a look, but saw Xiao Wuniang's face pale, kneeling on the ground, and said, "I don't know how, Master Cui is willing to spare Li Gongzi's life?" ”
