Chapter 77 The real plan

The three groups totaled only eighteen people. Twenty bandits came and surrounded them.

Small alleys are the best place to surround people. In such a place, you can't even run away.

At first, the only ones who couldn't run away were Jiang Li and the Third Master, but now there are even more people who can't run away.

Of course, they are not stupid either.In this case, if you want to escape intact, you must have a hostage.

Immediately, someone rushed forward to restrain Jiang Li, but the knife flashed and the knife in that person's hand was knocked off.

Only then did the others realize that two knives had appeared in the hands of the second master. They were the second master's knives.

"Why do you have a knife?"

A man masked in yellow cloth said.

The second master of Niutoushan has his own style of swordsmanship, which is ruthless and flexible.This kind of information has been spread among the beggars.

So in order to guard against this attack, the yellow cloth masked man had secretly observed several times before and made sure that the second master came out without a knife.

If anything, they wouldn't dare to just surround the second master.The second leader of the Beggar Clan has taken care of the two elders of the Beggar Clan by himself, and four people are not enough to relieve his boredom.

The second master smiled.

"Guess."

Jiang Li's storage space is a good thing, and it is also a highly confidential secret in the village.

"Catch that woman, or we will all die! Let's go out and discuss how to divide it!"

A man masked in black cloth said.This statement was immediately approved by all the masked people.

Their division of labor is now very clear.There were five people blocking the alley on each side, a narrow space perfect for this.Of the other eight people, six were responsible for stopping the second master and two were responsible for arresting Jiang Li.

The second master is very powerful, but it is difficult to keep Jiang Li under such circumstances.

However, he was not worried about Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at the two people rushing up, smiled slightly, and an hourglass appeared in her hand.

Those two people only watched two episodes and the speed suddenly became faster, so fast that although the naked eye could catch it, the brain couldn't react.

When they reacted, each of their arms had been beaten with a stick.

Jiang Li's strength was not very strong, but because of his high speed, the power of this stick was not small.

The feel of his hand told Jiang Li that the bones had been broken.

She looked at the others again and felt that she should add some partners to the third master's family.

The next few sticks were aimed at the calves, one, two, and soon, all five people's legs were broken by Jiang Li.

But Jiang Li, who was too obsessed with this, ignored time.

The hourglass stopped without warning, it just stopped.The world in front of Jiang Li suddenly sped up.

At this time, she had already reached the crowd and reached the five people who stopped the bandits.

Not only that, Jiang Li also suddenly felt weak in his body.This is another side effect of the hourglass.In addition to burning the user's life to speed up, it will also cause temporary weakness after use.

This weakness is not serious, it is just equivalent to the fatigue of ordinary people.But in this case, there are many dangers.

The five people heard the screams of the broken man behind them, and turned their heads to look over, and saw Jiang Li who was approaching them due to weakness, but was already holding on to the wall.

A man masked in black cloth made a quick decision and gave up resisting the bandits, and instead went to capture Jiang Li.

As long as there is a hostage, the matter will be solved easily.

Although Jiang Li was weak, he didn't want to be caught like this.After several struggles, the black cloth masked man who had no intention of using the knife became anxious because the bandits were obviously angry.

He must restrain Jiang Li immediately.

With one strike, he cut Jiang Li's calf.This is the best way to make Jiang Li lose his fighting ability.

Jiang Li suddenly lost his balance and fell forward, losing strength.The black cloth masked man also seized the opportunity, captured Jiang Li, and put a knife on her neck.

"All stop!"

This sound made everyone stop, and their eyes gathered here.

Then, they saw a knife appear in Jiang Li's hand and stabbed him backwards.

When stabbing, Jiang Li hesitated and did not aim at the man's throat, but just stabbed his arm.The man's hand suddenly lost strength and the knife fell to the ground.

Jiang Li turned around, pushed the man to the ground, and then stepped on the wound he had just made.The man screamed, and the others could only watch this scene, waiting for Jiang Li to say something.

"First of all, let me make it clear that I will never become a burden to the copycat."

Her eyes were very cold, partly because she was still a little weak now, and partly because she was still thinking about how she almost killed another person just now.

Everyone present looked at Jiang Li intently, especially the masked people.

"Did you hear what our military advisor said?"

The third master said something over there, attracting his attention.

The boss’s voice immediately sounded from the other side.

"I'm not interested in your identity. I also know that your gang has no personal enmity with us. This time you just fancy the ability of our military advisor. But this is hatred. You alone can't defeat us as a gang, but if you Cooperate and choose a gang that is willing to sacrifice to hold us back, maybe it will be okay."

The attention of that group of people is now completely controlled by these bandits, which also shows that they have lost all initiative in this alley.

During this battle, they all knew how powerful these bandits were.The people who came were not ordinary people, they were all masters in the gang, but they couldn't get the upper hand against a similar number of bandits.The minions are indeed not very strong, but the three masters can easily deal with several of their masters.

The boss did give them another option, to join forces.That cottage will never be able to hold on.It’s just that the boss also said that a gang must be sacrificed.

If no one is willing to sacrifice, joining forces will be impossible.

A man masked in black cloth threw the knife on the ground, and the other masked men also threw it down.Jiang Li also lifted the foot that was stepping on the person.

The man masked in black cloth walked up to the headmaster and gave him a hand.

"I will advise the gang leader when I get back."

"We don't know who you are, so we can just pretend that this incident never happened. But if we are passing by..."

The headmaster raised his sword again.

"I built this mountain and planted this tree. I want to cross here and leave money to buy the road. Even if half of the tooth is broken, I will kill it and not bury it!"

As soon as the leader finished speaking, the other bandits also raised their knives.

"Kill or bury!"

"The great master is mighty!"

This discordant voice was shouted by Jiang Li.After being here for so long, she finally saw that the big boss was serious about robbery.

Although the several masked men were frightened, they all knew that they were in the wrong.It's impossible for me to attack other people's military advisors and still understand it like this.

Paying for the road is already a small punishment.

Then there's nothing else to do, just chip in.

When they go out for business, they do bring a lot of money with them.Eighteen masked men collected 250 taels of silver.As for how they go back, that's not something the bandits need to consider.

Jiang Li's leg was also bandaged at this time, and he was supported by the third master as he walked towards the first master's house.

The second master looked at them.

"Yes, the big lame man is supporting the little lame man."

Jiang Li took out an orange from the storage space and threw it at the second master's face. The second master cut it in half with a single blow.

Walking to the headmaster, Jiang Li said to the headmaster.

"Master, this matter is over, right?" "Almost. Today's incident will also be spread. The purpose is to tell the outside world that we will protect you."

"Isn't it to show strength and deter them?"

"Of course not. If we fight against the strength of those two black and white men, the Beggar Clan should have spread the word already. They are just betting that we will not protect you, a military advisor who has only been here a few months and will cause a lot of trouble."

The third master also said the same thing.

At this time, Jiang Li realized that he thought he was sacrificing his safety for the village, but in fact he was still being protected.

She looked at the bag of money again.

"This trip was not in vain, it was worth the knife I received."

"It's not worth it. This bag of money is not ours."

Hearing what the boss said, Jiang Li was surprised and a little frustrated.

The headmaster explained to her.

"We are causing trouble in this alley, do you think the city lord will know? You have to give him this bag of money."

"...it's great to be the city lord."

Jiang Li still looked at the bag of money and felt a little reluctant to part with it. It was hard earned.

The first master put the money bag away and said to the third master.

"Third brother, you take the people back, and the second brother and I will go find the city lord."

"it is good."

"I also want to see the city lord."

Jiang Li suddenly said this.She was really curious about what the city lord was like.

The third master persuaded her.

"There will be another chance in the future, and your leg is still injured. Next time."

“I don’t know when the next time will be.”

"Commander, you need to go back to recuperate first. At least until you can walk normally."

After the master said this, Jiang Li had no choice but to obey.

Then, the third master took the people away, and the first master and the second master went to the city lord's mansion.

After leaving the alley, the second master turned around and spoke to everyone.

"Finally come out, you all should go and have a look. Meet at the noodle shop in two quarters of an hour."

"it is good!"

The brothers dispersed happily.

Jiang Li brought a lot of money from the river bandits this time, and the brothers in the village naturally shared some of it.They haven't been able to go down the mountain these days, but now they can take a good turn.

The second boss directly supported Jiang Li and left the noodle shop.Jiang Li limped along and then suddenly laughed.

"I didn't know it was so hard to be crippled."

"Do you understand now? And you are still only injured. My whole calf is gone."

"Hey, how did you break your leg?"

"Didn't I tell you? I was a thief back then. A house I went to steal caught on fire, so I helped save the person. As a result, my leg was hit by a beam and burned. I had to cut off my leg. Run from there, or you will be burned to death.”

Jiang Li looked at the Third Master with distrust written all over his face.But she didn't plan to go into details. It would be good to hear what kind of stories the third master could make up.

So Jiang Li asked the third master again.

"How did you walk when you first broke your leg?"

"I'm on crutches. I practice leg skills, so when my leg was broken, I felt that my martial arts was almost useless. But then when I went up the mountain, I felt that I should still have some fighting ability, so I wore a prosthetic leg to practice. That's me! You can practice so well.”

"Ha ha."

Jiang Li said with a smile, and then looked at the third master's legs.

The third master's prosthetic leg was replaced again. After the iron leg was attracted by the magnet, the third master no longer planned to leave such a defect to himself.Now the third boss's prosthetic leg is the trophy of the beggar gang, which was modified from the tiger head crutch.Although the crutch is made of wood, it can easily break the third master's original iron legs.

Just by looking at the way the third master walks, no one can tell that he is lame.

Soon, they walked to the noodle shop.The noodle shop owner made two bowls of noodles and added two portions of minced meat to Jiang Li's bowl.

After all, as a non-staff member of the village, Jiang Li also got a share of the money he brought back this time.

The Third Master looked at his own face and then at Jiang Li's.Then he complained to the noodle shop owner.

"Don't be so snobbish, right? Where's my bowl of meat?"

"Give it to the military advisor. Business is not going well now, so I can't lose money."

There was a reason why there were only two portions of minced meat in Jiang Li's bowl.

She smiled, and then gave some of the minced meat to the third master, who also happily accepted it.

After taking two bites, the Third Master asked Jiang Li again.

"Why do I feel like you are particularly interested in the city lord?"

"I'm just curious. Our village pays him so much money every year, but I've never seen him before."

"It's nothing, just a fat guy."

"I think we can just capture Sifang City. Instead of paying money every day, it's better to be the boss ourselves."

"Very good, just think about it slowly."

The Third Master thought Jiang Li was joking and didn't pay much attention.

But Jiang Li was not joking.

From beginning to end, she never told the truth.

The Shanzhai now has a good relationship with the city lord, and the City Lord has also protected the Shanzhai on the gunpowder issue.So in this case, copycats will just continue the status quo.

But Jiang Li wanted more.

Ever since the river bandit said that Jiang Li was a scourge and a trouble, Jiang Li had always wanted to do something to prove his value to the village.

She is familiar with the first half of Water Margin, but judging from the first half, Shui Po Liangshan will definitely attack the imperial court in the end.

This is what Jiang Li thinks the peak of a copycat looks like.

And she was confident that she could lead Shanzhai to that point, starting from Sifang City.

As long as we can find an opportunity to break up the Shanzhai and the city lord, the City Lord will naturally come to deal with the Shanzhai and unite other forces.

At this time, Jiang Li only needs to add fuel to the fire, let everyone in the village know the pain of being controlled by others, know the pain of the people in the world, and have ideas for attacking Sifang City, so that he can work under the banner of "doing justice for heaven" .

When the time comes, I will find the sulfuric acid made by that gang. If I can't make a revolver, I can still make some other highly lethal weapons. Then I will definitely succeed.

Of course, this plan must be kept secret and cannot be discovered by anyone.Jiang Li didn't want to listen to their advice that it was dangerous. All she wanted was to be praised by everyone after her success.

"Long live the military division!"

Jiang Li planned this innocently.

The third master in front of him still knew nothing at this time.
