On February 27, Leng Qian sneaked into the water village again with a letter soliciting Pei Donglai.

Walking on the street of the water village, Leng Qian casually pulled a water bandit, took him to the alley next to him, and said mysteriously: "Hey, brother, have you heard?" ”

The water bandit was confused, "What did you hear?" ”

"What? You don't know yet. My cousin's fourth aunt's own nephew worked under the second leader, and he secretly told me that the second leader was going to do a big deal this time. Leng Qian pretended to be surprised and said.

"Hey, brother, tell me quickly, what are the second leaders going to do?" Sure enough, gossip is the nature of human beings, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, men, women and children.

"I'll tell you quietly, don't tell anyone else, otherwise it will affect my cousin's fourth aunt and nephew, and you won't be able to eat and walk around." Leng Qian continued to seduce. Only hard-won news is easier for people to accept that it is not.

"Okay, good, I promise not to tell others, brother, tell me quickly!"

Leng Qian deliberately glanced left and right, and when he saw that there was no one else, he lowered his voice and said: "Let me tell you, our second leader is dissatisfied with the big leader covering up the third leader, and this time he wants to admonish the army, and he wants to be the big leader himself." ”

"Huh? Really, the second leader has such a big guts? ”

"Hey, don't believe it. Our second leader, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he can't do anything. Remember last year's attack on officers and soldiers? That's what our two leaders led people to do. "Leng Qian's preparation work is extremely sufficient.

"Brother, you said yes. Hey, in this way, those of us below will be offended again. ”

"Who said it wasn't, I told you secretly because I saw that you were destined, brother. We have to prepare early, otherwise we will be treated as a substitute for the dead. Leng Qian said emotionally.

"Yes, yes, thank you brother, I promise not to tell anyone."

"That's good. Remember, don't tell anyone. Leng Qian emphasized again.

After Leng Qian left, the good man who claimed that he would never tell others turned around and told the third son of his second uncle's family the news, and swore that he said: "Remember, don't tell others." ”

The third son of the second uncle's family turned around and told the second son of the old Wang family next door, and it was passed on to ten, ten to hundred. So, in less than half a day, the whole cottage spread. People gathered in twos and threes, whispered mysteriously, and did not forget to say: Remember, don't tell anyone.

When Hei Long received the news, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning, and two hours had passed since Leng Qian spread the rumors. In the Shuizhai Gathering Hall, Heilong sat on the throne with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "Second brother, second brother, you really have come this far. ”

At the head of the Juyi Hall, there was a dog-headed military advisor from the water village, and he frowned and said, "Big boss, this matter is a little strange." If, I mean, if the second boss really wants to do this, how can the news leak out in advance? This is unconscionable. ”

The black dragon's face froze, and he said uncertainly: "What does the military advisor mean, is someone deliberately spreading false news to provoke the relationship between us?" ”

"The subordinates are just guessing. But there must be precautions. ”

"Who could it be, with such a motive?" The black dragon asked.

The military advisor's expression was stunned, and he didn't dare to speak.

The black dragon waved his hand and said impatiently: "What does the military advisor have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, it's all at this time, what are the taboos." ”

Then the subordinate dared to speak out. The subordinates thought that the three masters were the biggest suspects. ”

"What? You mean from the east, how is this possible? Black Dragon was surprised by the military advisor's answer.

Now that it has been explained, the military advisor no longer shy away from saying, "Not bad." Think about it, if you are competing with the second master, who is the biggest beneficiary? ”

The black dragon thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Could it be Shanhai Town in the east?" If we were to fight among ourselves, Shanhai Town would also be the biggest beneficiary, and they have exactly that motivation. ”

The military advisor nodded and said confidently: "My subordinates have also thought about it, it may be Shanhai Town's doing. However, according to the spies, everything is normal in Shanhai Town, and there is no defense for us at all. It is estimated that they are still immersed in the atmosphere of New Year's festivities, and they don't even know that we exist. ”

Heilong obviously still doesn't believe it, he still trusts Pei Donglai very much. He got up and walked up and down the hall, frowning, trying to see the fog in front of him.

"You say, could this farce be a smoke bomb released by the second brother. The purpose is to make me doubt Donglai's body, in this case, he just wins in chaos. The black dragon had a flash of inspiration in his mind and blurted out.

The military advisor was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, there was really such a possibility. The second leader called himself the water snake, which is to worship the cold-blooded and cunning of the snake. This thing is really a bit like his style of doing things.

Seeing that the military advisor was silent, the black dragon already knew in his heart, and it seemed that he had really grasped the key to the problem. said coldly: "Second brother, second brother, you are really a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed." Since this is the case, then don't blame the ruthlessness of the eldest brother. Immediately ordered to go down, immediately catch the water snake, life or death. ”

"Yes!" The military advisor did not dare to slack off, and immediately left the Juyi Hall and dispatched troops.

As the base camp of the water village, Juyitang is resident with a squadron of water bandits, including 30 elite water bandits and 70 ordinary water bandits. The squadron is responsible for the security of the Juyi Hall, and obeys the orders of the big leader, Heilong.

However, while the black dragon was still discussing countermeasures in the Gathering Hall, the water snake had already taken the first step. He knows his eldest brother too well, no matter whether the news is true or not, from now on, there will be no place for his water snake in Shuizhai. In that case, why not take advantage of the situation.

As the second leader of the Water Village, the Water Snake directly controls two squadrons, including 60 elite water bandits and 140 ordinary water bandits. These troops are usually stationed in the Shuizhai military camp. After receiving the news, the water snake immediately arranged for his henchmen to transfer these troops out of the barracks in batches and gather in his house.

At half past eleven in the morning, the water snake led his henchmen from the house and went straight to the Juyi Hall. The vast force has made the non-combat members of the water village panic, and the rumors of the morning have become a reality.

When the water snake's troops arrived at the gate of the Juyi Hall, the military division was leading the garrison of the Juyi Hall, preparing to go to the water snake's house to arrest the rebels. So, the two groups of people met in close combat in front of the Juyi Hall.

When Heilong got the news, he quickly rushed to the front door while arranging for someone to go out of the back door and go to the barracks for help. Seeing the confrontation scene in front of him, he sneered and said, "Second brother, you really have different intentions. Why, you want to replace your big brother so quickly? ”

The water snake also smiled coldly, "Big brother don't talk about second brother." Since the eldest brother doesn't trust me so much, the younger brother can only be sorry. ”

Seeing that the situation was not right, Hei Long took a step back and said, "Second brother, as long as you send the troops back to the barracks, I promise that I will not be responsible for the past, how about it?" ”

At this time, a henchman walked up to the water snake and whispered: "The second master, I think the big boss is delaying time." We should attack now, or it will be too late. ”

The water snake nodded and sneered: "Big brother, don't pretend." All of them, attack! ”

Judging from the comparison of strength, the troops on the side of the water snake are twice as large as those of Juyitang, and they are completely superior. However, the Black Dragon side relied on the fortifications such as the arrow tower, city gate, and antlers arranged by the Juyi Hall, and for a while, it also stabilized its position, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate.

Thinking that once Pei Donglai arrived with the other two squadrons of the barracks, then the balance of victory would be tilted again. The water snake gritted its teeth and went into battle in person, bound to break through the Juyi Hall as quickly as possible. As long as the black dragon is captured, even if Pei Dong comes to come, it will be useless.

There are two flowers, one on each branch. After the military intelligence department Leng Qian successfully spread the rumors, he immediately went to Pei Donglai's house.

According to the usual practice, in normal times, Pei Donglai will only stay in the barracks in the afternoon. If you have nothing to do in the morning, you usually stay at home. After all, there is still a big difference between the bandits and the regular army, they do not have the habit of getting up early every day to train, and most of them are lax in discipline. This is also the reason why the water snake was able to smoothly transfer the troops out of the barracks, otherwise, it would have been noticed by Pei Donglai.

As an outsider, Pei Donglai has no relatives in Shuizhai, and there are only three or four handymen in the house. Leng Qian sneaked into Pei Donglai's study very smoothly, only to be discovered by him.

"Who?" Pei Donglai asked vigilantly in the study.

"Hello General Pei, I am the messenger of Shanhai Town, bringing greetings from my family."

There was silence in the study for five or six minutes before a voice came out, "Come in!" ”

Leng Qian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked into the study, just now he was ready to run away at any time. In the study, a middle-aged military general sat in the middle, holding a military book in his hand. looked at Leng Qian who pushed the door in with cold eyes, "You are really bold, you dare to break into the water village, and walk into my house so blatantly." ”

Leng Qian was neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly: "Don't dare to praise General Pei, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing." My family cherishes talents, and when I heard that the general was here, I sent my subordinates to pay a visit. As he spoke, he took out the letter written by Fan Zhongyan from his arms and handed it to Pei Donglai.

Pei Donglai opened the letter, and after reading it, his face was cloudy, and he was silent for a while before he said: "I already know what your family wants." It's just that Pei was deeply affected by the life-saving grace of the big boss and had to repay it. Pei will never do anything to abandon the cottage, please go back, I won't stop you. ”

Leng Qian nodded, somewhat understanding Pei Donglai's contradictory mood. On the one hand, it is the grace of saving lives, and on the other hand, it is difficult to choose. In the end, Pei Donglai chose to repay his kindness and gave up the opportunity to display his life's ambitions, and he is indeed a man who values love and righteousness.
