Chapter 15 Undercurrent
Hu Xiaotian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It is easy to kill Li Shan, but have you ever thought about what kind of situation we have to face after taking the mysterious iron secret map?" He had to make up his mind and could not eat hot tofu.
Song Qian was shocked, calmed down, and frowned and said, "Are you worried that you will become the target of public criticism and have your identity exposed in advance?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "It's true that I went to the capital this time. I can be said to be away from the root, going deep into danger, and surging everywhere. The Xuan Iron Secret Picture is a treasure that everyone coveted. If we take it over now, we will inevitably be besieged by the underworld heroes. We are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. How can we avoid endless pursuit and sneak attacks? How many people can we consume? If we lose all our money, wouldn't it be worth the loss? I think everything should be done within our ability and must not be too ambitious." To seize the Xuan Iron Secret Picture, we must kill Li Shan first. And Li Shan is not a small character.
, is the apprentice of the leader of the Beggars' Sect. If Li Shan suddenly disappeared, how could their party clear the suspicion? I am afraid that in three days, the beggars' Sect's revenge would slash like thunder. Hu Xiaotian shouldered the heavy trust of Xuanzong and was determined to seize the position of the leader. Of course, he would not be willing to lose the big picture of the little thing and bet on a piece of residual iron. For him, it is good to be able to seize the secret map of the Black Iron, and there will be no loss if he can't get it. Take a step back, as long as the news is passed back to the headquarters of the Demon Cult, it will be a contribution no matter what. No one will accuse him of deliberately letting Li Shan go afterwards.
Song Qian said: "My subordinates were not thoughtful and almost made a big mistake. What should we do next? Do you watch Li Shan take away the secret picture of the Xuan Iron?" He didn't jump.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Li Shan comes from a famous family, has a strong mind, is both wise and brave, and is born with a chivalrous heart. He will definitely be able to stand out in the future and lead the way. If we can secretly help him through the danger this time and ask him to join forces to compete with the Qinglong Association in the future, it will greatly improve the situation of internal and external difficulties." The Qinglong Association is at its peak in the underworld, but last time he returned in Lanzhou, he suffered heavy losses. How could he be willing to do so? Sooner or later, it will launch a counterattack, so Su Quan will stay in Lanzhou to take charge. If he can use Li Shan to attract the power of the Baidao heroes to attack the Qinglong Association, it will reduce most of his pressure.
He also said: "With Li Shan's skill and sword skills, it is no problem to temporarily keep the iron box. After he handed the iron box to the Mo family, it is not too late to try to secretly recapture it. The most important thing is to clear the relationship with this matter and not get any suspicion. You immediately send someone to send another expert to Elder Su to use it as a surprise weapon. In addition, we suggest to Elder Su to send people who are proficient in intelligence collection and analysis to accompany them. After all, Lanzhou is limited to a corner of the northwest, and Chang'an is close to the Central Plains, with a dangerous terrain. It has been a place that military strategists have to compete for since ancient times. I want to take this opportunity to establish a secret stronghold in the city and prepare for the future."
Song Qian pondered: "Chang'an is Xiang Hu's nest. Should we contact him in advance?"
Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to him, we do our own thing. As long as he doesn't provoke it on his own, we will keep a certain distance from him."
Song Qian said: "Since that's the case, my subordinates immediately wrote a letter to Elder Su and informed him of the news of the birth of the Xuan Iron Secret Map and the instructions of the young master."
Hu Xiaotian asked, "By the way, what's going on with Li Wanjie, a disciple of the 'Qianmen'?"
Song Qian said in surprise: "Has the leader not mentioned the matter of Qianmen to the young master? Cough, this matter has been said for a long time since the severe civil strife broke out more than a thousand years ago and was seriously injured in the vitality, in order to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy in the future, the then leader and the elders negotiated to establish a secret organization - "Qianmen". As the name suggests, all the disciples of the sect selected for the "Qianmen" will lurk under the nine lands from now on and no longer walk in the world as disciples of the sect. They must remain neutral and cannot participate in the decision-making of internal affairs. The tasks of Qianmen are mainly two, one is to protect the core scriptures and secrets of the sect, and assist the new leader.
Ensure that the incense of the Divine Sect is passed down from generation to generation; second, when there are signs of civil strife, it can turn the tide and calm the storm. Over the past dynasties, the name of the Qianmen has never appeared in official records, and only the most core figures such as the leader and the temple priest have the means to contact them. It is said that there are less than fifty disciples of the Qianmen, each with their own specialties, and they are all top talents in the world, and the forces they unite are unfathomable. They are like dragons without seeing their heads and tails, paying great attention to their whereabouts, and even if they do shocking things, they will not promote them. What subordinates know only some of the superficial knowledge, and their knowledge is really limited, I am afraid that they will not satisfy the young master."
Hu Xiaotian said: "So Qianmen is a major force outside the Thirteen Elders? In your opinion, is it possible for us to win the support of Qianmen through Li Wanjie?"
Song Qian shook his head and said, "This matter is as hard as the Qianmen who pursues a neutral purpose and will not participate in the dispute between the leader. Before the situation becomes clear, they cannot express their attitude. As for Li Wanjie, since he often shows up in the world, he is a periphery and is responsible for collecting information about the world. He has no say in the world."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "I don't think so, even if Li Wanjie is a periphery responsible for collecting information, his views, likes and dislikes can also affect the decision-making level of the Qianmen. Because those decision-makers cannot come to the scene in person, they can only make judgments through the information and information reported, and then make conclusions. If Li Wanjie chooses to support me among the four major disciples, the situation we face may change greatly. We must strive for every person in the church and every point of help. Only in this way can we accumulate strength and come from behind."
Song Qian sighed: "Although the young master is young, he is far-sighted and has unique insights. He has been obsessed with his subordinates for twenty years, but he is not as many as the young master."
Hu Xiaotian said, "Uncle Song, don't put a high hat on me. I haven't been in the sect for a long time and I have no experience in commanding my subordinates. I still need your strong assistance in the future." He paused and said, "As the five-sect alliance approaches, all forces gradually begin to surface, and open and secret struggles will inevitably continue. After entering the city, we must not take it lightly. We must pay attention to the movements of major forces at any time. If we are caught in the vortex, it will be difficult to escape without any loss."
Song Qian said: "Young Master, let's not talk about the distance. Those who intend to hijack Miss Lei's family are strict discipline and ready to die may have come from the iron-blooded army with a very deep background. In today's world, those who can command and mobilize troops are either the founding fathers or the royal children, and they are all powerful people. If we ruin other people's good things, how could the envoy behind the scenes give up?"
Hu Xiaotian said confidently: "Uncle Song, don't worry, the number of such dead soldiers who choose one in a hundred is limited, and cannot be cultivated in one moment. Moreover, privately mobilizing troops is a serious crime of regulating the nine tribes. If the master messenger behind the scenes is too late to separate the relationship, he will never make things difficult for us."
Song Qian smiled and said, "It's also the case that rabbits die and dogs cook, and the birds hide their bows. Any founding emperor always has a serious doubt and a strong desire to kill. Since Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne, he has to kill the founding heroes every two or three years. If he catches the handle, no matter who is it, no matter who it is, he will die. But what is the reason for those who are willing to risk hijack Lei Li? Could it be that this little girl has a huge secret?" Hu Xiaotian's heart moved and said slowly: "They are hijacking Lei Li, probably targeting Lei Hongtao, the head of the Lei family, and the Lei family, who are famous for their firearms." Song Qian couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Is it because the master behind the scenes really ill-planned and want to secretly build an iron-blooded army with powerful firearms?" Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "I'm afraid that this is the case."
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established his eldest son Zhu Biao as the crown prince to stabilize the world and clarify orthodox. However, Zhu Yuanzhang had many beauties in his harem and had dozens of sons for him, including the King of Qin, King of Yan, King of Jin, etc., and they might not have had the intention to covet the throne. However, Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely favored by these sons, not only gave them a large fiefdom, but also allowed them to control the army. When Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, the kings in the world naturally remained at peace. Once he left the west, Zhu Biao might not be able to shock his unruly brothers. Looking at the battles over the throne in all dynasties, brothers and sisters were tragic, and father and son turned against each other, and this dynasty would not be exceptional.
Song Qian gasped and said seriously: "Young Master, if the other party sends a second wave of people to force the Lady Lei family, we should stay out of it and don't take action. The battle for the throne has been the most dangerous since ancient times, but we have no capital to participate in it." Hu Xiaotian sighed: "The current situation is changing and the future is unpredictable, so we can only act according to the opportunity. Lei Li's identity is special. We must not give up her easily until she has to be absolutely necessary."
After a night of treatment and recuperation, the injured people have improved. Only Pan Ling'er was seriously injured and needed to transfer to the carriage. Hu Xiaotian met with Li Shan and Lei Li in private and told them to keep their mouths strictly and not to reveal the whereabouts of the iron box. Although Xiang Hu was injured and flew away, it was difficult to guarantee that he would send another expert to seize the treasure. If he was recruiting the snipers from the Demon Sect all the way, the people who were traveling with him would probably die. Anyway, with Li Wanjie on the jar, Xiang Hu would not doubt Li Shantou for the time being. Li Shan and Lei Li had no objection, but just wanted to complete the deceased's entrustment.
After passing Baoji, the Weihe Plain is in the east, with a wide view and boundless view. A group of people and horses lined up in a long row, winding like a long dragon. Everyone knows that they are in danger and are mentally alert. Only by entering the sphere of influence of the Lei family as soon as possible can they truly have security guarantees. As the Five Clan Alliance approaches, more and more people from all walks of life are coming and going on the road. The black and white paths are in black and white. Everyone is quite restrained under the blue sky and white sun. However, at night, there will be revenge and revenge. All the dense forests and wilderness have become duel battlefields. Pingping and Pingping is very lively. Hu Xiaotian and his team have a strict lineup, and there are several masters who will never cause trouble. No one dares to harass them on the way.
Just after passing Meixian, I suddenly saw smoke and dust rolling in front of me, people shouting and neighing, and pedestrians on the road were walking away. Hu Xiaotian and his party hurriedly stopped and waited for those who came to pass.
Only the sound of hooves was like thunder, the earth trembled slightly, and a team of heroes from the world rushed towards the horse. The middle-aged man in the lead was dressed in red, with a strong bones, a big sword on his back, and his eyes were sharp, naturally revealing a terrifying momentum. Several men followed him were dressed in different clothes and weapons, but their temples were slightly raised and their momentum was extraordinary. They looked like first-class martial arts masters. In the back of the team, there were dozens of strong northwest men, all of whom were red-robed and long swords, and they were brave.
Lei Li moved in joy, grabbed Li Shan's arm, and smiled and said, "Brother Li, it was my third uncle who came with the Lei family knife hand of Lei Family Fort." Li Shan touched her cute smile, and her heart trembled and murmured, "Your uncle?" Lei Li said, "Yes." He immediately ran out and waved, "Uncle San, Uncle San, I'm here."
Hu Xiaotian and Song Qian exchanged a look and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, there was a great pressure when walking with Lei Li. Since the Lei family masters have appeared, they can finally take down this important task and no longer have to worry.
The man in red looked back and smiled, "Mo Erxia, that's my niece, let me say a few words to her." While saying that, he strangled the pedal and slowed down, and the entire horse team slowed down. The man in red raised his face and shouted at Lei Li who was running near him, "Xiaoli, come and see Uncle Mo Zhengfeng, don't lose your etiquette and make jokes."
The smile on Lei Li's face faded away and she cried out in a flash: "Uncle Mo Er" immediately evoked the painful memories of the day before yesterday. Her heart aches, tears burst out from her eyes, and she choked and said, "Uncle Mo Er, Uncle Mo San and Uncle Mo Liu, they were killed by evil men in the underworld."
Mo Zhengfeng was shocked and angry, and jumped to Lei Lima and said tremblingly: "Good niece, what did you say just now? My third and sixth brothers were killed? Who was the one who used the poison? What about their corpses?" He was thin and had blue veins exposed, which was seventy-seventh-slightly similar to Mo Gangfeng. He also had a long sword on his back. Judging from his body skills and aura was slightly better than Mo Gangfeng.
Lei Li whispered: "I haven't seen who killed Uncle Mo San and Uncle Mo Liu in person. However, Brother Li has been on the scene and has been entrusted by Uncle Mo San's death. He must know." He turned around and waved to Li Shan and shouted: "Brother Li, come here quickly."
Li Shan immediately stepped forward when he heard Lei Li's call. Although he was ordinary in appearance and not tall, his demeanor was calm and his murderous aura was hidden. There was a horse in the crotch. All the heroes shouted in secret: Li Shan, a good man, dared not be too arrogant in front of the seniors in the world. He jumped off his horse early, walked quickly several steps, and bowed to his fists and said, "Seniors, I am Li Shan of the Beggars' Sect."
Mo Zhengfeng saw the two swords crossed his back and his body shook violently, and tears came from the tiger's eyes. As his elder brother, how could he not recognize his brother's sword? The sword is there, and the sword is dead. After a few days, he was separated from the yin and yang of the two brothers. This heart-wrenching pain is not worthy of being told by outsiders.
Lei Li quietly fell off the horse and whispered to Li Shan: "This is Mo Zhengfeng and the second heroes of Mo family. That man in red is my third uncle Lei Hongjun."
When Li Shan saw Mo Zhengfeng crying, he felt sorry for him. He took off the swords behind him, held them in front of Mo Zhengfeng with both hands, and whispered: "Mo Erxia, this is Mo Sanxia. Mo Liuxia entrusted it to his juniors before he died. He told me to hand it back to the Mo family. Both heroes fought hard and fought against the masses. They killed many evil gangsters in a row, and did not insult the name of the seven heroes of the Mo family."
Mo Zhengfeng took the two swords, and a soft sound of neighing, two drops of tears fell on the sword sheath, with indescribable sorrow. He stroked the sword body and said in a heart-warming manner: "Thank you for sending back the relics of my two brothers. Please tell me, Young Master Li, who killed them? Such a blood-sea enemy, must be paid tribute to me with the blood of my enemies." He received the urgent message from his brothers, so he begged Leijiabao to send a large group of troops to help. Unexpectedly, it was still one step too late to hurry up, and he could never see his brother's voice again.
Li Shan said seriously: "Mo Erxia, this matter has been a long story. Mo Sanxia has another relics to me to transfer to the head of the Mo family. People here are so mixed with their ears and ears, so it is not advisable to talk about them in detail." Mo Zhengfeng was overjoyed after being deeply saddened, and his hands trembled in excitement, and he whispered: "What kind of relics are they? Please give them to me, brother." Li Shan shook his head and said, "Forgive me, I can't obey my orders. I have promised Mo Sanxia, and I must hand them to the head of the Mo family." Mo Zhengfeng
He was stunned, looked up and down at Li Shan again, nodded and said, "It's good to keep your promises." After a moment of contemplation, he continued, "Since that's the case, how about asking Young Master Li to walk with me? My elder brother led the children of this clan to travel slowly, and he could arrive in Chang'an in five days. Before he arrived, Young Master Li would be better stay with me to avoid any further accidents." The head of the Mo family is Mo Hufeng, the boss of the seven heroes of the Mo family. His swordsmanship is superb and famous.
Li Shan was not polite and said, "It is better to obey your orders than respect." He had a strange treasure, and I don't know how many people were coveting it secretly. If he could get the protection of the masters of the Mo family and Lei family, it would be ideal.
Mo Zhengfeng turned his head and said to Lei Hongjun: "Brother of the Red Army, I invite Li Shaoxia to visit Leijiabao. I wonder if it complies with the rules?" Lei Hongjun glanced at Lei Li with a meaningful look and said: "There is no problem that Li Shaoxia can visit Leijiabao, I can't ask for anything. Xiaoli, what do you think?" Lei Li's face turned red and she stomped her feet and said angrily: "Uncle San, what does it have to do with me?" Mo Zhengfeng asked the brothers about the burial place, and arranged two guards from his clan to go to temporarily protect, waiting for the instructions of the head of the family before handling it.
Li Shan accused him of guilt, ran back to Hu Xiaotian and others, and said, "Young Master Hu, brothers, Li is going to take the lead with the people of Leijiabao. He has a great time along the way, and he has the opportunity to face the enemy side by side, which is really unforgettable for Li. When we meet in the future, we will drink and talk about each other again." Hu Xiaotian said, "Brother Li is okay. We must stay in Chang'an for a while, and we will definitely have the opportunity to meet." Li Shan was overjoyed: "Good to be in Chang'an, everyone must come to Leijiabao to find me." Hu Xiaotian said, "One word is determined."
