Chapter 19 Section IX

Scythe sat cross-legged on the ground, and the heavy wooden staff rested flat on his thighs.He closed his eyes, his mind returned to emptiness, and let every muscle and all internal organs of his body relax completely. On the other hand, the other thirty-four people hiding in the house were all anxiously pacing, or touching and checking the weapons in their hands.Most of them are the masters that Lian Shou has just recruited from the branches of "Feng Yilong" in various states, and the rest are his "boxing champions" who have followed him since Piaocheng.This battle requires a few to defeat the crowd, quick action, personal combat power and skill are the most important factors, each person is personally selected and trained by Lian Shou.

It was more than half a quarter later than the agreed attack time, but Mao Gonglei's whistle had not sounded yet.Originally, with Sickle Shou's terrifying fighting power, even if he led only more than 30 people, it was not impossible to attack the "Fengxiangfang Branch" alone.But this time the fighting situation will be tragic and abnormal, and the time will definitely be delayed. I am afraid that it will attract the attention and suppression of the imperial guards. In the situation where the rebellious bandits just happened, the imperial guards have the privilege of rectifying the law on the spot, suppressing and disturbing the capital. Law and order suspects will never be soft.

"It's weird..." Liang Zhuang gritted his teeth anxiously. As a young man, what he hated most was the waiting before the war.This was his first real battle—in the past, he would follow behind the scythe, stepping on the bloody path made by the scythe.He is eager to make his first battle for the "Dashutang". Suddenly there were several clashing sounds of bamboo and wood outside the house, three short and three long. It is the code used by Chen Du's liner.Sickles opened his eyes. It was Chen Du himself who came in.A set of tight black clothes for concealment wrapped his thin body, and his face was also painted with charcoal ashes.

He is Yu Runsheng's "eye", lurking nearby to monitor the battle situation. "Fifth Master, it's not good." Sweat dripped from Chen Du's forehead, making a few marks on the charcoal dust on his face. "Mao Gonglei and the people from the 'Santiaozuo'...have entered the 'chicken coop'." "Chicken coop" is a code word representing "Fengxiangfang Branch". "And it was the guards outside the 'chicken coop' who opened the door to let them in." Sickle suddenly pulled up his body, held the wooden stick and thrust it heavily into the ground.The tip of the staff pierced into the stone bricks on the ground two inches deep.

"How could this be?" Liang Zhuang said angrily. "Didn't we agree to attack together? What's going on?" "It's Mengzhen." The anger on Lian Shou's face disappeared in an instant, and he returned to a calm expression. "He changed his mind." Lian Shou turned his head and shouted urgently to his followers: "Get out of this house! This place has been exposed! Get back three streets to the south!" But he himself pulled out his stick and walked to the main entrance of the house alone. "Fifth Master, I'm going too!" Liang Zhuang picked up the machete and inserted the scabbard into his belt.

"No, you are temporarily responsible for leading everyone, and wait for me at the place I said. I will come back after a while and meet you." "Where is fifth master going?" Lian Shou didn't answer, and pushed the door out alone. The deserted street outside was dark.During this extraordinary period, all restaurants and restaurants were closed, and ordinary people's homes did not dare to light too many lights.Praetorian guards and even "iron guards" patrol any street at any time, and people are afraid of attracting the attention of these evil spirits.

Lian Shou walked in the direction of "Fengxiangfang Branch" along the dark streets and alleys.At the next street corner, he finally saw the figure of the person he expected. The black stick in Mao Gonglei's hand was still hidden in the cloth bag, casually resting on his right shoulder.He approached the scythe with a relaxed expression. The two approached to a distance of fifteen steps and stopped at the same time.Between them was a closed paper offering shop, and a small red lantern on the second floor was the only source of light above their heads. "It's been a while since I saw you," Mao Gonglei said. "Are you ok?"

Sickle nodded. "Ah, it looks like you found a new thing." Mao Gonglei pointed to the wooden stick on the sickle head. "If you compare it with my baby, I believe it will be fun." "We can try it now." "I'm not free." Mao Gonglei shook his head. "Though I do want to try... next time. You probably guessed a little bit about what happened tonight?" Lian Shou only knows that the "Fengxiangfang Branch" is now under the command of Meng Zhen.He couldn't figure out what kind of trick that man used to quickly change the whole situation...

——No wonder the boss values ​​him so much... "Where are Rong Yushan and his son?" Mao Gonglei did not answer. ——In other words, the roles of the father and son in this struggle have been played out. "Why didn't you bring someone over to attack me?" Lian Shou was still calm on the surface, but his heart was full of frustration. "The last 'duel' in the Guicifang market, I always feel that I owe you." Mao Gonglei's smile remained the same, but it also lost the heartiness of the past. "Repay your favor now. When we meet again in the future, I can kill you without any worries."

"Okay." Scythe waved the wooden stick in his hand. "That's the deal." Mao Gonglei's smile slowly disappeared.He took a few steps back, then turned and walked back. Lian Shou watched him off until the figure disappeared into the dark street.
