Chapter 12 fourth quarter
Mao Gonglei stared at his father's relics.
There was a deep dent on the blade of the saw blade, which was caused by the impact with the giant arrow.
The arrow now lay beside the knife.The arrow cluster is a piece of fine steel that forks like a snake's tongue, and is as thick as two centimeters.Coupled with the force enough to make the dent, and the rotation of the arrow body flying in the air, if this arrow really hit Mengzhen's body, it would definitely come out through the back with a large piece of torn muscle and internal organs.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to be so dangerous."
Meng Zhen stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.After returning to "Fengxiangfang Branch", he has not seen his wife yet.She must have known what happened at noon, and he didn't want to see her worried tears for the time being.
"Forget it, I decided to do this myself. As you said, it was really unexpected." Meng Zhen didn't look back. "Scythe, it's really scary. He even broke the team formation we prepared. Today's such a good opportunity can't kill him. It's always a disaster."
Mao Gonglei's face was full of shame, but fortunately Meng Zhen couldn't see it, and he began to regret letting the sickle go away.After all, the eldest brother took such a big risk to draw the scythe out, and as a result, Sora lost many of his subordinates.
"That Ma Hong..." Meng Zhen said again: "...is he dead?"
"Yes... I have already sent someone to inquire about other shopkeepers from the southwest side. It turns out that Lian Shou went to Karamu a few years ago - when Yu Runsheng was still in Piaocheng, it was Pang Jijiu who asked him to go , probably had friendship with the Ma family at that time. As for why the Luomeng tribe also came to assist him, I don’t know. It’s strange, those people should all know that such a mission is bound to die..."
"This man, Lian Shou, does have a very unique power that makes others follow him desperately." Meng Zhen looked back into Mao Gonglei's eyes. "yes?"
Mao Gonglei knew that his elder brother had seen through his admiration for Lian Shou, so he didn't say a word.
"Meng Jijiu, what are you going to do next?"
There is a third person in the room - Huaquewu.
It was only in the afternoon, but Jiang Wu was already slightly drunk, still holding the wine glass in his hand.Ever since he knew that he couldn't kill Lian Shou at noon, he had been relying on drinking to calm his mind.
Meng Zhen looked at this guy who came to surrender with the information that "the sickle head is coming to assassinate".They were old acquaintances growing up together, and Meng Zhen was not surprised that Hua Que Wu left Yu Runsheng - after all, this man even betrayed his adoptive father Pang Wenying.And now the situation in the capital is very clear that the "Dashutang" has no future at all.
"What do you think?" Meng Zhen asked Hua Que Wu solemnly.
"The fact that Lian Shou was able to sneak into such a place close to the head office further proves that Zhang Shuai is behind it." Although Jiang Wu's scarred face was already flushed, his head was still clear: "Whether Lian Shou succeeds or not, Zhang Shuai has benefits: Meng Jijiu, if you die, you will naturally fulfill his wish; even if you miss, you will definitely attack the 'Dashutang'. Although Yu Runsheng is bound to lose, they still have a group of strong opponents, and our side will definitely be exhausted in this battle Not small, Zhang Shuai can also take this opportunity to clean up the results."
"But we don't have a choice, right?" Mao Gonglei sighed. "Brother was assassinated in front of so many gangs from all over the world. If we don't fight back, we won't be able to step down. These Zhang Shuai must have been settled long ago."
"He's just that scary." Huaquewu nodded with a wry smile, and took another sip of his wine.
It was not an easy thing to betray Yu Runsheng. Ever since the decision was made, Hua Que Wu couldn't sleep well every night.Originally thought that after today, Yu Runsheng lost his right arm, the sickle head, and he could feel at ease, but he didn't expect Mao Gonglei to fail and return.Huaquewu secretly cursed him for being incompetent.
"But in this way, Zhang Shuai also exposed his thoughts." Mao Gonglei grabbed the arrow on the table. "He can't stand us at all."
"Even if what happened today didn't happen, I would have known this for a long time." Meng Zhen said. "Zhang Shuai is such a person."
He smiled as he spoke.Although he was almost shot today, there was no trace of anger on Meng Zhen's face.
"Brother, what do you decide to do?"
Meng Zhen stroked his beard, his blue eyes revealed a radiance that only Yu Runsheng could match.
"Wait until those branch managers leave the capital. I don't want to rely on any of them, but let everyone know that we can settle this matter by ourselves." Meng Zhen clenched a fist. "Now we are preparing to gather all the direct troops. This assassination, I can just use it to bring back all the subordinates left behind by Rong Yushan, and add the entire force of the 'Thirty Shop'. Overwhelmed by ten times the number Only in this way can we minimize our losses. As long as we win in one fell swoop, with that confidence and morale, Zhang Shuai is just an ant in front of us."
Mao Gonglei's blood boiled with excitement, he stood up, and unconsciously exerted force with his hands, bending the iron arrow.
"By the end of spring, we razed the 'big tree hall' to the ground."
"Dashutang Kyoto Store" is surrounded by guarding men.On the Wuchangfang Street in broad daylight, of course they cannot wear weapons, but when Di Bin was planning to build the pharmacy, he had already designed many hidden compartments for storing weapons on the four outer walls. Can be armed. Half of the yard behind the shop is designated as stables, which can accommodate fifteen horses in total, and there is another iron-paneled carriage ready for use.Lian Shou and Di Bin got off their horses here, and hurried into the warehouse behind the shop under the guard of their subordinates. "Quick! Bring the knife and create medicine!" Di Bin shouted nervously, pushing the sickle down on the chair. "Bai Dou, don't be like this, I'm fine." Lian Shou sat down with a smile, his expression seemed relaxed, but everyone could see his rare tiredness in his posture. Lian Shou looked around the warehouse, and then saw Li Lan at the other end.She held his youngest daughter in her arms, and Yu Agou, Heizi and other children surrounded her. "Sister-in-law..." Lian Shou stood up apologetically, and Di Bin pushed him down again. "Uncle Fifth, don't get up." Li Lan put the girl down and walked over, the children followed behind like a flock of ducklings. "Are you okay?" Scythe sighed and shook his head.He saw Li Lan's face was full of anxiety, she suddenly gave up her home and moved here, of course she knew what was going on.Lian Shou lowered his head, not daring to look at her. When his subordinates brought the medicine, Di Bin had already cut off the sleeve of Sickle's head.He pressed a piece of cloth next to the wound before slowly pulling out the flying knife without frowning. Di Bin pressed the cloth on the wound for a while, and after confirming that the bleeding had slowed down, he removed it and sprinkled the powder carefully. "Sister-in-law..." Lian Shou wanted to say something to comfort her, but felt that he was not qualified to say these words.Then he felt his right little finger being grabbed. It's sunspots.He held that finger and looked at his father's face with round eyes.Lian Shou smiled at his son. "I'll come too." Bantanga squatted in front of the sickle, and at the same time healed the knife wound on his thigh. "Sister-in-law, it's fine." Di Bin said while bandaging Sickle's shoulders. "Brother Wu is back, no one will be able to hurt us." Li Lan just said "hmm" and didn't say anything else.Two children cried when they saw the blood. She squatted down and hugged them both, blocking their sight with her body, and patted their backs lightly, and the crying became quieter. Three subordinates hurried over to help Li Lan carry the children to another place.Only Heizi still held the sickle's hand and stayed by his side.Seeing the blood dripping from the knife, the child was not afraid. Yu Agou was bigger than Heizi, and he had seen dead people before, but when he saw the wound on the sickle head, he couldn't help being frightened and turned pale.However, seeing Heizi being so brave, he tried his best not to cry, but followed his mother away. At this time, several nearby subordinates stood up straight.Lian raised his head and saw Yu Runsheng approaching. "Boss..." Lian Shou stood up, ignoring that Bantanga was still bandaging his thigh. Yu Runsheng didn't have any expression on his face, he just looked at Lian Shou without saying a word. "Boss..." Lian Shou lowered his head. "Boss, he's back..." Di Bin held the sickle's arm. "Don't annoy him..." "Do I seem to be annoyed by him?" Yu Runsheng stretched out his hand and placed it on the uninjured shoulder of the scythe. "I never promised to let you quit the 'Big Tree Hall'. As long as you are still called 'Boss', you don't need to say anything else." Di Bin breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and looked at the sickle head, and then at Yu Runsheng. ——Even if only the three of us are left in the end, the "big tree hall" still exists... "And you make me very proud." Yu Runsheng continued. "With your own strength, you have almost changed the entire situation. It is my honor to have such a younger brother. It is a pity that it is only a little short..." "They have already prepared a way to deal with me." Lian Shou lowered his voice. "Boss, I'm afraid the news has leaked out, in the 'Big Tree Hall'..." "I know." Yu Runsheng didn't show any surprise.He glanced at Di Bin. "Hua Que Wu, he has already turned to Meng Zhen's side. This is a matter of course, Jiang Wu has never been stupid." "Next..." Di Bin's smile disappeared. "How will it evolve?" "Mengzhen will definitely use all his strength to attack us." Yu Runsheng let go of the sickle's shoulders and put his hands behind his back. "Even if he knows it's Zhang Shuai's plan, there's nothing he can do about it. If he doesn't come to seek revenge for such a blatant assassination, no one in 'Feng Yilong' will serve him as the new sacrificial wine." "How many people will be sent?" Di Bin asked worriedly. "The fifth younger brother is still here. Meng Zhen knows that this is a tough battle. He wants to minimize losses—because the next enemy is Zhang Shuai. If I were him, I would definitely mobilize all the troops and Mao Gonglei would command the battle. Rong Yushan's direct line People and horses, plus the 'Thirty Shop General League', I guess there are at least 1,200 people." Di Bin frowned. There are only about 200 people left in the "Great Tree Hall"—only about 150 of them are "hard-handed" with knives. less than. Although guarding this strong "Dashutang Kyoto Store" has an advantageous location, the opponent's strength is several times greater; our own side has a sickle head, but the opponent also has a comparable Mao Gonglei; plus the strong opponents of "Thirty Shops"... … Thinking that his command ability would determine the outcome of this battle, Di Bin couldn't help becoming nervous again, and his stomach shrank into a ball. "It's too dangerous..." Di Bin shook his head and said, "And this is not an ordinary fight. This is our last place. The opponents will come and fight, and if we don't win, we will all die here... Boss, what do you think? Clear..." He turned his head away, waved to his subordinates, and everyone left the warehouse.Except that Heizi was still standing there. "Bai Dou, what do you want to say?" Yu Runsheng asked after the last of them had left. "I don't want to talk about some ideas, because I don't want to hurt everyone's morale..." Di Bin swallowed his Adam's apple, and said, "But now... Boss, to be honest, we have already lost in the capital. Although I also I don't want to admit it, and there is still blood revenge for the second brother. But there is no other way now. Why don't we leave while we still have some capital. With the strength of our three brothers, we can start from scratch wherever we go..." "White Dou—" Lian Shou bit his lip. "Fifth brother, I know you still miss her." Di Bin interrupted him. "But you also have to think about my sister-in-law and those children! And those good brothers who followed us with all their hearts...Are you going to send them to die? About Xiaoyu, after we settle down in another place, turn around Think again." Lian Shou was speechless, he knew that what Di Bin said was correct.Of course he wanted to stay in the capital to save Ning Xiaoyu.But without him, it would be much more dangerous for "Big Tree Hall" to retreat safely... He looked down at Heizi. ——This son without a mother, I already owe him a lot... "No, we're not leaving." Yu Runsheng said decisively at this time. "Let's go, all our past efforts will be in vain." "But..." Di Bin knew that it was not easy to convince the boss, but now was the last chance. – time to take advantage of “the one” in the drugstore… "Bai Dou, didn't I tell you to trust me?" "I remember." Di Bin replied. "I will always trust the boss." "That's all right, just keep trusting me." Yu Runsheng's eyes reappeared with that strange look.Di Bin remembered that every time he saw this brilliance, a miracle would happen. ——If it happens every time, it is no longer a miracle. But Di Bin can't imagine that there is any other way to survive in the "Dashutang". "As long as we stay in the capital, victory will eventually belong to the 'Dashutang'." Yu Runsheng said, looking directly at Di Bin. "Those who betrayed us will all have to pay the price." He seemed to see through Di Bin's thoughts, and said, "Bai Dou, when I first built this pharmacy, I decided to build 'that thing', not for us to use when we escaped." Di Bin was stunned. ——That is to say, Boss had other plans a long time ago... "So……" "Anyway, it's almost the last moment, so I'll tell you all the arrangements." When Di Bin and Lian Shou heard this, their eyes lit up. The three sworn brothers gathered their heads together, and Yu Runsheng began to explain his long-hidden plan.
