Qifang City, inside the city lord's palace.

City Lord Qi Fang was wearing a soft brocade robe and was feeding a pond of koi carp in the yard. As soon as he spread the bait, more than a dozen koi carp swarmed up to the water, fighting for food.

And on the ground not far away, Lai Lu knelt on his knees, kowtowing and saying nothing.

City Lord Qi Fang said slowly: "Lai Lu, why can't people be as simple as koi? They come to eat when they are fed, and swim when they are full."

Lai Lu didn't say much, he just replied: "Lai Lu doesn't know."

City Lord Qi Fang threw all the bait in his hand into the pool, stood up and said, "Of course you don't know, because you are a human. It's really interesting, why do you, a person, be brothers with a dog!"

When Lailu heard this, he was shocked and said: "This subordinate deserves to die! But I have never betrayed my master."

City Lord Qi Fang said: "You really deserve to die. You have never betrayed me. You just didn't do what I told you. If I didn't have an insider on the mountain, how could I have thought that even you, Lai Lu, would betray me?"

meaning."

Lai Lu nodded and said, "I feel ashamed of my master's kindness in nurturing me."

City Lord Qi Fang walked up behind Lai Lu, put on a pair of strange silver gloves on his hands, and sighed: "Yes, you are a human being. Everyone will have their own ideas. It's me who is the master who is unreasonable."

When Lailu raised his head and wanted to say more, a cold silk thread had already passed in front of him and went straight to his neck. Lailu instinctively used his hidden sword to block it, but who knew that the seemingly soft silk thread touched his sleeve?

The sharp edge of the sword was slashed forward like a broken bamboo. Just as Lai Lu's face was filled with shock, City Lord Qi Fang crossed his hands and passed by. Lai Lu's head had already been thrown into the koi pond, and the koi carp came forward one after another.

Surging, chasing the head.

City Lord Qi Fang looked at the bloody gold wire in his hand and sneered: "I will not be bitten by my own dog a second time."

At this time, a homing pigeon flew from the sky and landed on the arm of City Lord Qi Fang. He took out a roll of paper tied to the pigeon's leg. After reading the content on the paper, City Lord Qi Fang smiled even more.

, and then said to the outside of the door: "Tell the Qi Fang Guards in the house to follow me to Lei Xing Mountain!"

The people outside the door obeyed the order and left.

At the gate of Iron Slaughter City, there were five rows of ten black-armored cavalry in each row, waiting in an orderly manner for the Lord of Iron Slaughter City to give orders.

I saw Lord Tie Tu City also wearing black armor and carrying two mountain axes behind him. He tightened the reins in his hands and said to Tie Tu Wei: "Tell me, what have the people been most afraid of over the years!"

The Lord of Iron Slaughter City's voice was as loud as a bell, but none of the Iron Slaughter Guards below dared to speak.

"You dare not say it, then let me tell it for you! What the common people are most afraid of is the road that crosses Lei Xing Mountain!" City Lord Tie Tu said, holding up his riding whip, "Why are the common people afraid of them! Because they run away after grabbing it.

We still can’t suppress them. It’s been so fucking frustrating after so many years!”

Speaking of this, a surge of anger also surged from the Iron Butcher Guard below.

The Lord of Tietu City said with a solemn expression: "But today is different! Today I am absolutely confident that I can conquer Lei Xing Mountain! Are you willing to come with me?"

"willing!"

"willing!"

The roar of the iron massacre shook the sky.

"Okay!" Lord Tie Tu shouted, "Serve the wine!"

After saying that, one by one the clerks poured a whole bowl of Shaoqiao for Tie Tuwei. Tie Tu City Lord raised the wine bowl, drank it all in front of Tie Tuwei, then smashed the empty bowl on the ground and said: "Tread flat

Lei Xingshan!"

After Tie Tuwei and Tie Tu City Lord had a drink, they also smashed the wine bowl on the ground.

"Step down to the level of Lei Xing Mountain!"

"Step down to the level of Lei Xing Mountain!"

…

Amidst high-spirited shouts, the entire Iron Tuwei army set off.

On Lei Xing Mountain, Quan Laifu has summoned back all the four heads of the family and the scattered brothers. In the high position of Dazhai, Quan Laifu's short body looks a bit funny, but no one dares to make fun of him.

Just listen to Quan Laifu saying to a middle-aged man who looks like a teacher: "Second Master, the news from Qu Fengcheng is really unreliable!"

The Second Master took a sip of the tea beside him and said slowly: "First Master, I spent three thousand taels of silver to buy this news from the Lord's Mansion of Qufeng City. No matter whether it is true or false, I will not suffer any loss."

Quan Laifu frowned and said: "That stinky bitch Qu Feng is not a good person. She doesn't want Tie Tu and Qi Fang to have an easy time when they are so far away. But then again, she said that Wei Yidao has a top-level master from the inner family beside him, and she also

Isn’t it too exaggerated to say that we may have internal agents from the other two cities on Lei Xing Mountain?”

The second master smiled and said: "Whether it is an exaggeration or not, it is beneficial for us to have a gap between the three city lords. In my opinion, it is better for us to be more stable in Guanzhai in the near future."

Xu Fu, the Fourth Master on the other side of the seat, sneered after hearing this and said: "Zhang Wenhong, just hide in Qufeng City and don't come back. I heard that the Lord of Qufeng City admires you very much, by the way.

Not only the Lord of Qufeng City, Wei Yidao must have also used your strategies back then."

Quan Laifu touched his chin and said nothing.

Zhang Wenhong, the second master, did not deny it and said: "Indeed, the Lord of Qufeng City even wanted to invite me to be a counselor in the mansion. She told me this news because she wanted me not to come back. But I still came back, because I, Zhang Wenhong, used to be a scholar and knew

What does it mean to repay gratitude?"

After hearing this, Quan Laifu said with relief: "Wenhong, it's been four years."

The second master Zhang Wenhong said with tears in his eyes: "Yes! It's been four years! If it weren't for you, the first master, I, Zhang Wenhong, would never be able to take revenge in my life."

Quan Laifu said: "This is what you deserve. I promised you back then that as long as you support me wholeheartedly, I will definitely help you avenge this revenge. Isn't he just an official? Wei Yidao doesn't dare to kill him. I

dare."

Zhang Wenhong said excitedly: "At that time, I was just a scholar who wanted to get fame. The county official of Liantai Town had a good relationship with me and often invited me to his house to teach his son how to write articles. Who knew that I was so ignorant that I couldn't see it?

He coveted my wife's beauty, so he drank at my house one day. After I was drunk, he wanted to do something that was beyond the rules. My wife was so fiery, how could he do what he wanted? To protect her chastity, she was knocked to death at home.

He knew that the matter was serious, so he complained first, saying that I had killed my wife, and wanted to take me to the Yamen. Seeing that something was wrong, I rushed out of the door, and then went up to Lei Xing Mountain. But Wei

Yidao only said that he could take me in, but never mentioned the matter of revenge. He robbed the rich and gave to the poor. He was indeed a good man, and I respect his principles. But he is not suitable to be a big boss. Now that he has become a bandit, how can he still have the money to return it?

The principle of not staining with blood."

"Well said!" Quan Laifu applauded after taking a big sip of Shao Knife.

Xu Fu just snorted coldly. He was convinced by both Quan Laifu and Liang Feihu, because both of them dared to fight and their martial arts skills were still superior to his. But he didn't like Zhang Wenhong, why did a poor scholar get the position?

Sitting higher than him, Quan Laifu especially trusted Zhang Wenhong, which made Xu Fu even more unhappy.

Liang Feihu didn't say a word, but took a sip of wine from time to time. He knew what happened to Zhang Wenhong because it happened in Liantai Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Tietucheng. The county official behind him also wrote an official document saying that Zhang Wenhong was very vicious and was afraid of crime after committing a murder.

He fled and reported to the Lord of Tie Tu City to issue a wanted order. But just four years ago, the county official suddenly died tragically at home. It was probably Quan Laifu and Zhang Wenhong who did it. In fact, even Liang Feihu wanted to dig up the corpse of the county official.

Come out and fight again. If it weren't for Zhang Wenhong on Lei Xing Mountain, he wouldn't be cautious at all times for fear of exposing his trap, and Lei Xing Mountain wouldn't be as difficult to attack as it is now.

Zhang Wenhong continued: "So Xu Laosi, don't worry, even if I die, I will die on Lei Xing Mountain."

Xu Fu was about to show off after hearing this, but Quan Laifu stood up and said, "Okay, we are all our own people. I believe in Wenhong, and I regard you Xu Fu as a brother. You all tried your best after I injured Wei Yidao."

Those of you who support me, I have promised each of you that I will definitely help Wenhong get revenge, and let you, Mr. Xu, enjoy wealth as his name implies."

Quan Laifu raised his wine bowl to Zhang Wenhong and Xu Fu respectively. Zhang Wenhong offered tea instead of wine, while Xu Fu directly picked up the wine bowl and drank both of them.

Quan Laifu looked around again. Most of the people who could be here were the original group of brothers from Lei Xing Mountain. He also followed Zhang Wenhong's suggestion and placed most of his confidants who were patrolling the camp outside the village, because Zhang Wenhong said that was the place.

Quan Laifu's most important eyes, if there is any trouble, they will immediately warn him. So Quan Laifu doesn't have much to worry about now. Lei Xing Mountain is steep and the cliffs behind the mountain are extremely difficult to climb. To break into Lei Xing

The mountain can only be accessed from the main gate of Dazhai, and the gate is protected by a huge stone mechanism designed by Zhang Wenhong himself. If no one cooperates inside and outside, it is simply wishful thinking to attack it by force.

When Quan Laifu thought of such a situation, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. To put it bluntly, he really wanted to thank the county official of Liantai Town. If it hadn't been for him, how could anyone like Zhang Wenhong have surrendered.

Quan Laifu was very happy and said to the brothers below: "Come on, everyone, take a bowl and start drinking."

Just when everyone was having a drink, someone came to report outside the door, saying that the woman who bought it from the fourth master's family had delivered it. Xu Fu's expression changed after hearing this, but then he laughed and said, "It's finally here! Bring it in for me."

"

Quan Laifu frowned and said, "Fourth brother, you are really in a good mood. It's so fun to buy a woman back at this time."

Xu Fu replied: "Isn't it because I'm afraid that the brothers will be too bored, so I bought it for fun."

Quan Laifu smiled and said, "You really think about your brothers." Quan Laifu ordered the guard to send the person in. Anyway, it was just a woman, so it was nothing serious.

Xu Fushi's thoughts were racing in his mind. He didn't know which song Lord Qi Fang was singing. He had obviously sent a message to him by flying pigeons. At midnight, he would personally lead his confidants to open the stronghold and invite Qi Fang Wei in. But now Qi Fang

What does it mean when the city lord sends a woman?

Liang Feihu took another sip of wine. He didn't talk much on the mountain. The Lord of Tie Tu City asked him to find an opportunity to replace Wei Yidao. In this way, all the business in Lei Xingshan would belong to Tie Tu City. Unexpectedly,

Quan Laifu would strike first, and Zhang Wenhong and Xu Fu also expressed their support for Quan Laifu. He knew that he would be very passive if he hesitated any longer, so he led his brothers and rushed out to fight Qi Fangwei.

Actions speak for themselves. Afterwards, Lei Xingshan defended his position, and his position as the third leader was naturally more stable.

Liang Feihu was not like Xu Fu who was greedy for pleasure. He secretly investigated the details of Zhang Wenhong and Xu Fu. Once he accidentally found out that Xu Fu was Qi Fangcheng's internal agent, Liang Feihu did not say anything. He needed a secret card in case of emergencies.

Need. Now the situation is forcing Liang Feihu to play this card.

The two men gave Ahua to the sentry at the foot of the mountain. They said that the woman was bought by Master Xu Si with money and then rode away. When the two guards came up with Ahua on their shoulders, she was still unconscious. A pot of

Cold water was poured on Ahua's face, and Ahua shouted Da Zhuang's name in a daze.

Ahua vaguely heard someone talking: "Lao Si, why does the woman you bought look so stupid?"

Another person heard someone say: "Maybe he's not awake yet."

Ahua shook her head, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a group of men looking like wolves and tigers looking at her with shining eyes. She wanted to run back in fear, but found that the door behind her was closed tightly, and she had no way to escape.
