The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter Ten

Wan Jianfeng followed Situ Zhong to Junshan Mountain, and entered a dilapidated manor house. Although the manor house occupies a large area, it has nothing to do with the leader of the world's largest gang.

Situ Zhong walked towards the courtyard and said, "Little brother, this is the residence of the leader of the gang, and also the head of the beggar gang!"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "Haha, the head of the Beggar Gang is so old and dilapidated, you still have the nerve to be called the largest gang in the world, even if you don't care, I'm ashamed for you!"

Situ Zhong didn't take it seriously, and laughed boldly: "Haha, everyone in the world says so. So what, isn't my majestic Beggar Gang one of the four great sects? The glory and wealth in the world of mortals has never been something that we beggars can ask for." Yes, it's not what we should seek, only good wine and chivalry are what we seek!"

Wan Jianfeng gave a thumbs up and said: "Okay, well said! The words of Master Situ sound more enjoyable than drinking alcohol! I just said this to you. From now on, the affairs of the beggar gang will be my Wan Jianfeng's affairs. !"

The two of them entered the room while they were talking, and sat down in the hall, and the young man beside Situ Zhong also sat next to Situ Zhong and accompanied him hand in hand.At this time, a little beggar ran in from outside the door in a panic. He didn't know whether he was tired or frightened, but he stuttered and divided the sentence into several paragraphs, "Report...report to the gang...the boss, that Those who eat floating money sent people to send a letter of war...to say that tomorrow...tomorrow they will come to besiege the beggar gang and take Junshan Island in one fell swoop!"

The young man who was under Situ Zhong frowned when he heard the words, stretched out his hand to the little beggar and said, "Where is the letter of war, let me read it!" Hearing this, the little beggar hurriedly took out a letter from his bosom, and handed it to the young beggar with both hands. Year.When the young man read the letter, he couldn't help being furious, stomped his feet heavily, and tore the letter to pieces.

Situ Zhong asked: "Xing'er, what is written in the letter?"

The young man said: "The letter said that at noon tomorrow, the gang of money-eaters will come out in full force and besiege the head of our Beggar Clan. They will not stop until Junshan is taken! That's all for the local people, but they dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, it's really abhorrent!"

Situ Zhong looked at the young man and remained silent for a while.

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "Haha, this is a fun time to watch! Chief Situ, how do you plan to retreat from the enemy? The leader of the most powerful gang, don't let the hundreds of people under your command become fish dung shrimps!" shit!"

Situ Tianxing clenched his fists tightly and said angrily: "Is there even a question? Naturally, we will devote all our efforts to fight them to the end. Even if we are outnumbered, we will never back down!"

Wan Jianfeng asked suspiciously: "Brother Situ, your gang of beggars is known as the largest gang in the world, don't you have as many people as this group of water thieves?"

Situ Zhong sighed, "Well, although we claim to be the largest gang in the world, our real strength is very limited. I think Feng Jiutian bloodbathed Kunlun Mountain and killed my beggar gang's vitality, and then there was another gang in Xianshuiyan. Many brothers died at the hands of Murong Zhang, the current Beggar Gang has no name as the largest gang, but it has long since ceased to be the largest gang!"

Wan Jianfeng was puzzled and said: "Since the enemy is outnumbered and the strength is not as good as the opponent, why do we have to fight to the end? Why not change the method?"

Situ Tianxing's complexion changed, and he asked: "Do you want my father and his brothers to surrender? Thinking of my beggar gang, all of them are good men with strong bones, how can you ask this group of people who eat money from floating money?" The villain surrenders!"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said, "Brother Situ, your brain doesn't seem to be very bright. You really should find someone to knock on your head. If you don't knock, you won't be enlightened! Think about it, is there no third rule in war besides fighting hard and surrendering?" road?"

Situ Zhong heard the words and asked: "In your opinion, how should we retreat from the enemy?"

Wan Jianfeng shook his head, "I'm new to Junshan, and I'm not familiar with the terrain on the mountain, so I don't know it yet. But if brother Situ is willing to accompany me to go around the mountain, maybe I can come up with a good way!"

Situ Zhong nodded, and said solemnly: "Okay! If you can plan to wipe out these villains, keep the beggar gang, and save the people of one side, I will give you the position of gang leader! If you can't think of a way, just wait and see." Let's turn into fish dung with us tomorrow afternoon!"

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun has faded, but the sky is not yet dark.Wan Jianfeng and Situ Tianxing had already walked around Junshan three or four times, and they were already exhausted, but they never stopped.

While observing the terrain on the mountain, Wan Jianfeng asked Situ Tianxing: "Brother Situ, the old saying is good, but wherever there are mountains, there will be spirits, and most of them will have some legends. Although Junshan is not high, the scenery is amazing. It’s very beautiful, and there must be many stories in it!”

Situ Tianxing said: "There are some legends, but in my opinion, they are all far-fetched by those sour literati, and they can't be taken as true at all! Among them, the most famous biography of Liu Yi is about the relationship between a poor scholar and a dragon girl. I have lived in Junshan for so long, and I have never seen a dragon boy and a dragon girl. Such absurd story, even a three-year-old child knows that it must be made up!"

Wan Jianfeng said curiously: "Don't worry about whether it's made up or not, tell me quickly and listen to it!"

Situ Tianxing said impatiently: "It is said that there is a dragon palace in the Dongting, and there is a dragon king living in the dragon palace. This dragon king gave birth to a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower. When the dragon girl grew up, she married the Jingchuan Dragon King. The son of the Dragon King of Jingchuan. The son of the Dragon King of Jingchuan is very licentious and never cares about the relationship between husband and wife. Dongting told her father about this, but Jingchuan was too far away from Dongting, and she couldn't go home to report the letter. It happened that a scholar who failed the exam passed by here at this time, so she asked the scholar to pass a letter for her. It is said that This scholar entered Dongting Dragon Palace from an ancient well in Junshan..."

Wan Jianfeng didn't wait for Situ Tianxing to finish speaking, his eyes glowed golden, "Brother Situ, quickly take me to find this ancient well? I seem to have figured out a way!"

Situ Tianxing said with a smile: "Brother Wan, you won't tell me, you have to throw yourself into the well, right? Be careful if you can't reach the Dragon Palace, I'll kowtow you and feed you to the bastard at the bottom of the well!"

Wan Jianfeng asked: "How do you know there is a bastard at the bottom of the well?"

Situ Tianxing said: "Someone called a few days ago, and we even cooked a pot of fresh soup."

Wan Jianfeng said: "That's right! Flies don't bite seamless eggs, so don't you think about it, why don't you say that you can enter the Dragon Palace in other places, instead of the ancient well?"

Situ Tianxing laughed angrily at Wan Jianfeng, he even felt that these few hours were wasted.He didn't understand why his father believed Wan Jianfeng's words, so he straightened his face and said, "Even if you can go straight to the Dragon Palace, are you going to borrow troops from the Dragon King to retreat from the enemy?"

Wan Jianfeng shook his head, "I didn't say that!"

Situ Tianxing said impatiently: "Then what do you mean?"

Wan Jianfeng smiled mysteriously, "The secret must not be leaked! I'll go and see the ancient well. You are responsible for calling the leader and the smarter elders. We will meet up at the Xiangfei Temple later. By the way, be smart. Don’t use the one who can only eat mud!” Situ Tianxing glanced at Wan Jianfeng in confusion, and walked quickly towards the head of the beggar gang full of suspicion.

The Xiangfei Temple is dedicated to the two wives of Tang Yao. It was first built in the Qin Dynasty. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times during the millennium. The latest reconstruction was in the late Tang Dynasty.Although the current ancestral hall is only a hundred years old, it has long been abandoned and has become very dilapidated. Not only the vermilion-painted doors, windows and pillars have become mottled, but even the courtyard has grown half-person-high weeds.

Wan Jianfeng waded through the weeds and walked to the front of the hall, sat down lazily against a pillar at the door, took off his soaked coat and put it on the altar, opened the wine gourd, and paid homage to the two goddesses in the hall. Jing, then poured a few swigs of wine into his mouth happily, "Hahaha, I have been busy all day, and my back hurts from being so tired, but it would be fun to have two goddesses drinking with me! But if you let Yu Old Shun knows, I'm afraid he's going to spank my ass!"

There was a sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance, interrupting Wan Jianfeng's drinking.The light from many torches can be seen faintly.Wan Jianfeng saw the flames and knew that Situ Zhong and the others had arrived.

"Brother Wan, I've found everyone for you!" Following Situ Tianxing's voice, Situ Zhong and his son walked into the ancestral hall first, followed by more than a dozen middle-aged beggars, obviously the most beggars in the gang. Several important elders.

Seeing that everyone was here, Wan Jianfeng waved to them happily, and said with a smile, "Everyone is here, come and sit!" His tone was very affectionate, as if he was the master of Junshan.

Situ Zhong walked slowly to Wan Jianfeng, and asked, "Little brother, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? I heard from Tianxing that you want to follow Liu Yi's example? Don't you want to take the lives of the [-]th member of my Beggar Gang?" joke!"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and nodded, "Haha, there is no medicine in my gourd, only good wine! Brother Situ is right! In ancient times, Liu Yi threw himself into a well to send letters, and now Jianfeng throws himself into a well to defeat the enemy!"

Situ Zhong laughed loudly and said, "Don't tell me that the well can really lead to the Dragon Palace, and you are the rescuer sent by the Dragon King!"

Wan Jianfeng didn't smile, but shook his head, "No, although that well can't lead directly to the Dragon Palace, it can sneak into Dongting Lake without anyone noticing."

Situ Tianxing asked: "Once the war starts tomorrow, the water surface of Dongting Lake will be completely occupied by pirate ships. Isn't it a trap for you to go into the water at this time? Besides, even if you are lucky enough not to be discovered by them, what can you do?" ? From my point of view, it’s better to beat him upright. With the iron rod in my hand, I’m really afraid that these water thieves will fail!”

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "You really don't have a good brain! Haven't you heard that in war, you have to shoot people first and shoot horses, and capture thieves... Why do you capture thieves first?"

Situ Zhong said: "To capture the thief, first capture the king!"

Wan Jianfeng nodded, "Yes! When shooting people, shoot horses first, and when catching thieves, first capture the king! Even if the gang of thieves have a large number of people, their number is limited. There will be very few people staying behind! When the time comes, as long as they sneak into the village and kill Yao, they will naturally become a mess!"

Situ Zhong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words, and he burst out laughing, "Hahaha, good idea! You are indeed the rescuer sent by the Dragon King. It seems that we will win the battle tomorrow with the few and the strong with the weak!"

Situ Tianxing snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "What good idea do I take, let me ask you, what should we do if Yao Hongyuan goes to battle in person tomorrow?"

Wan Jianfeng said confidently: "That's even easier. I set fire to their nest. Think about it, would these gangsters still be in the mood to fight when their nest was burned?"

Situ Tianxing nodded, then shook his head, and said worriedly: "But that Yao who is known as the invincible magic sword, with a simple sword in his hand, has fought all over the Song Dynasty and never met an opponent. I may not be able to win easily. You are so confident Can kill him?"

Wan Jianfeng smiled and nodded, "If I can't kill him, I won't be called Wan Jianfeng!"
