Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 372 Martial Arts Conference
After that, just after waking up one day, I got the news.

The roads to Taohua Mountain and Erlong Mountain were surrounded by officers and soldiers. Qin Ming and Lin Chong each led an army to surround all the roads up the mountain.

Erlong Mountain and Taohua Mountain became two isolated mountains.

Lu Zhishen said: "There is not much food in the mountains. In this case, even if the officers and soldiers don't fight up, they will starve to death on the mountain in half a month."

Li Zhongdao: "There is less food on Peach Blossom Mountain..."

Hu Qian's wound flared up faintly, and he almost passed out from the pain.

But in the current situation, there is really no way out.

The reason why I said this to a few people before was just to stabilize everyone's emotions.

A few days later, the soldiers patrolling the city found that there were deserters who wanted to escape from the city at night, but they were arrested.

However, with the first time, there will be more deserters after that.

Wu Songdao: "All deserters caught will be executed!"

Hu Qian said: "Let them go!"

Wu Song was taken aback, "Brother, this..."

Hu Qian said: "It's useless to keep such a person!"

"But if we let it go, wouldn't more people follow their example, and when it gets out of hand, our troops will be..."

Hu Qian said: "Just do as I tell you."

Wu Song had no choice but to do so.

Afterwards, soldiers patrolling the city suddenly found a letter shot by a bow and arrow.

The soldier didn't dare to make a decision, so he hurriedly reported it to Hu Qian.

But it turned out to be Song Jiang's letter.

There are no other words on it, only one sentence - within one month, seize Wuhan University, escort Tokyo to behead, the soldiers in the city have already made plans.

Hu Qian looked at it and didn't say anything, but asked, "What do you guys think?"

Guan Sheng said: "Brother, don't worry, even if you fight to the death, you will never abandon your brother!"

He was rescued by Hu Qian before, so he was in a hurry, and naturally he would not have other thoughts.

Wu Song and Hu Sanniang had no other ideas.

Lu Junyi said: "Brother, although we will not give up, if there is no more food in the city, the city will be destroyed by itself, we should make plans early."

Wu Song said coldly: "What do you mean by brother? Could it be that you want to surrender?"

Lu Junyi said: "Of course I don't mean that. What I mean is that since the current situation is not good, it is better to go out and fight the enemy while you still have the strength. Even if you die in battle, it is worse than hiding in the city and being starved and exhausted. Catch it alive."

Yan Qing nodded without saying a word, obviously agreeing with this method.

Lu Zhishen said: "Brother, just open your mouth. No matter what kind of bird he is, the Sa family will come and kill one, and two will kill one pair."

Although Lu Zhishen has such courage, Song Jiang is not a fool. As long as all arrows are fired, let alone Lu Zhishen, even if he has the supernatural power of leaping rocks, he will be invincible.

Although the rest of them didn't say anything, they knew from their expressions just now that they must have the same thoughts as Lu Junyi and Lu Zhishen.

Hu Qian nodded, "Brothers, don't be impatient, wait for me to think about it."

Before the discussion came to a conclusion, the city gate suddenly brought out Pang Wanchun's letter.

The letter also scolded Hu Qian, and then said that if Pang Wanchun was not sent out, when the city was broken, he would kill every man, woman, old and child in the city.

At this time, both sides are enemies, and it is really difficult to make a decision.

That night, there was a sudden sound of thumping on the city wall. Wu Song and others thought it was an enemy attack at night, so they went to check it out. When they saw what happened, they were all startled.

It turned out that many heads fell on the city gate.

After careful inspection, it turned out that they were all soldiers who had fled from the city before.

Then there were people shouting and cursing in the city.

Using a torch, Zhao Ming saw that it was Tong Guan's soldiers who were throwing the heads of deserters into the city with a catapult.

And he shouted under the city: "Don't even try to run away in the city! I will kill you all!"

Then they threw their heads into the city with a catapult.

Some timid soldiers were almost paralyzed by fright.

Within a day, a message spread in the city:
The armies of Song Jiang, Pang Wanchun, and Tong Guan were about to slaughter the city, leaving no one in the city, old or young.

People were in panic for a while, and the rice on the market became less and less. Many people had money but could not buy rice, so they blocked the gate of the prefect's mansion.

In desperation, Hu Qian had no choice but to send soldiers to guard each rice shop and supply according to the amount every day.

Even so, grabbing food still happens from time to time.

After a few days of rest, Hu Qian was finally able to move, so he returned home.

Wu Yueniang and the others wanted to go forward to ask, but he dragged them all into the house.

Two hours later, several people were lying on his chest, talking about their worries during this period of time.

Hu Qian didn't say much, but Li Ping'er suddenly said: "I heard that there is a kind of auspiciousness from heaven in the Taishan Conference, so there are many people fighting for it."

Hu Qian was taken aback, and asked, "Taishan Conference?"

I heard about this martial arts conference before, is it the same thing as the so-called Mount Tai conference?
So let Li Ping'er talk about it in detail.

Li Ping'er said: "My family also heard about it from Liu'er, according to her, it was Dai'an who told her.

It is said that the heroes of the rivers and lakes will hold a martial arts conference in Mount Tai to discuss how to deal with them..."

"To whom?"

"Dealing with Master, Fang La, Tian Hu, Wang Qing and others."

Hu Qian smiled self-deprecatingly, "So I've become one of the four great thieves?"

"However, I heard recently that they are not for this, but for that auspiciousness."

"What exactly is auspiciousness?"

Li Ping'er shook his head, "At that time, Liu'er just said that, and the servant didn't ask in detail."

Hu Qian immediately got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and found Dai'an.

Dai'an said: "I heard that auspiciousness is a book from heaven, and whoever gets it will be the chosen one, and he will be admired by all people."

Admired by all peoples? !
"Yes, I heard that people from the imperial court will also go."

"When does it begin?"

"About two days."

An idea popped up in Hu Qian's mind, if he could get the so-called respect of all people, would he unlock a supernatural power again?

In the current situation, there is no other way to think about it. No matter whether it works or not, you must try it.

In the middle of the night, he called all the leaders together to discuss that Lu Junyi, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and himself would go out of the city at night and go to Taishan to participate in the conference and compete for the heavenly scriptures.

The rest of the people guarded in the city. Anyway, judging from the current situation, Song Jiang and others will not attack by force for a while.

As soon as these words came out, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo looked a little uncertain.

"Brother, if you say to rush out at night, brother will go through fire and water, and he will not hesitate, but this...

Go to Taishan to fight for some illusory heavenly book...

Such a thing may not solve our current predicament. "

Lu Junyi said: "Brother, I'm afraid this meeting is a trick of the imperial court to trick me into going out to fight, and set up an ambush secretly, just waiting for us to fall into the trap."

Zhu Guidao: "My brother has a reason for what he said, and my younger brother thinks the same way."

Hu Qian said: "Just do as I say! If it doesn't work, cut off my head!"

Everyone was silent.

In fact, it can be seen from their expressions that they think about this matter.

Coupled with the fact that Hu Qian lost Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Haizhou several times, the prophet who seemed to be effective before was no longer useful.

So everyone gradually lost trust in Hu Qian's magical powers, let alone going to Mount Tai this time.

If Hu Qian hadn't asked Lu Junyi and Lu Zhishen to follow, everyone might have thought that he was going to escape with Wu Song.

Right now there is no other way to think of, no matter what, I can only try.

It's just that Hu Qian himself didn't have the confidence in his heart. After all, the matter of the book that day was just hearsay, and no one could say for sure what it was like.

Besides, even if there is really a heavenly book, is it possible to gain the admiration of all people if you get the heavenly book?
Who can guarantee this matter?
However, I heard that there is a book from heaven in the original book, which was later given to Song Jiang by the Xuannv of Nine Heavens.

I just don't know if the so-called heavenly book is the same as what Song Jiang got.

At dawn, when people were most sleepy, the four of them dressed in night clothes, pulled a rope down from the city wall, swam across the moat, and headed east.

Although the journey was thrilling and bumped into patrolling soldiers several times, it was finally safe and sound.

The three of them knew that Hu Qian was injured, so they protected him all the time, being cautious all the way, and finally fell down Mount Tai when it was getting dark.

I saw people coming and going at the bottom of the mountain. Although it was dark, there was one three or five steps away from carrying the burden and selling food, and many people came down from the mountain.

He also said in his mouth: "Today, these few are useless, and they are not the opponent of Optimus Prime at all."

"Maybe a good guy will come tomorrow."

"But the stone is faintly glowing, it seems that the book of heaven should appear tomorrow."

"I don't know if it's true or not?"

"What is true and false? Have you ever seen other stones that can shine?"

A few people chatted and laughed, and went to the inn not far away.

The four discussed it, and before Hu Qian's injury recovered, Lu Zhishen stayed with him.

Lu Junyi and Wu Song let them go and have a look first. If it is really a trap, they should return to Qingzhou City immediately.

Hu Qian originally wanted to go by himself, but the wound was only slightly opened, and a lot of blood flowed out.

He had no choice but to hold back and let Lu Junyi and Lu Junyi go back quickly.

Lu Zhishen first wanted wine and meat, and served Hu Qian to eat, and then chatted with Hu Qian in the room without saying a word.

Later, seeing that Hu Qian was in a trance, knowing that he was thinking about something, he simply sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and chanted sutras.

After an hour, Wu Song and Lu Junyi came back from outside.

"Brother, there is indeed a ring on the top of the mountain, and there is a big rock in the middle of the ring."

"It's unbelievable to say that, the stone glows with colorful blemishes in the dark night, maybe there is really some treasure in it."

Hu Qian nodded.

When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice from outside saying: "These are masters of Xixia Yipin Hall. I heard that Chief Qiao is here, so I came here to meet you."

"Now there is no Qiao Gangzhu, and there is no King Xiao, you should call him by his name."

"Is Master Qiao here now?"

"No, my uncle went drinking with Dali's son and hasn't come back yet."

"This is an invitation card. If Daxia Qiao comes back, please forward it to him."

Then came the sound of footsteps.

Not long after, the voice at the door said: "What Xixia Yipintang is just a running dog of the Xixia king. It is a dream to want our uncle to go."

"Do you want to keep this invitation?"

"It's okay to keep it, the uncle won't go after seeing it."

Hu Qian was dumbfounded.

These few short sentences really gave him a headache.

Qiao Feng, the eldest son of Dali, Xixia Yipintang.

If these people are all of the strength in the original book, let alone me, even if all the heroes in the Water Margin are added together, they are not the opponents of these people.

The eldest son of Dali must be Duan Yu. As for Xixia Yipintang, it must be Duan Yanqing, Ye Erniang, South Sea Crocodile God, and Yunzhonghe.

For these people, even if they are the worst, they are not something Hu Qian can deal with now.

He shook his head, really not understanding the current situation.

Just when he was helpless, he heard a commotion outside again, Wu Song went out to have a look, and when he came back, he said that some old fairy from the Xingxiu School had started a fight with a man named Murong Fu.

Then he said that there were many beggars surrounding a group of monks to reason.

Hu Qian sighed again, this time Shaolin and the Beggar Gang also came, and there might be other forces in it, relying on the four of them, it is really a bit of a fantasy to compete for this bible.

What's more, I am still the identity of the four big thieves. Even if I really win, I might be attacked by these people.

At dawn, the inn was noisy, and many people went to the top of the mountain together.

Just as Hu Qian was about to leave, he felt a pain in the wound, and when he touched it a little, there was blood on his hand.

When Lu Zhishen and the others saw it, they immediately said, "Brother, don't go if you are in such a situation. We will fight for your book that day."

Hu Qian said: "At present, there are many people here who are powerful. If the three of you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to take advantage of it."

Lu Zhishen said: "Brother, why do you want to spoil your prestige with other people's ambition, let's just look at the means of the Sa family."

Hu Qian had no choice but to agree.

In the morning, people had almost left, and the originally noisy inn suddenly looked very deserted.

Hu Qian was about to activate and guide his supernatural powers to practice, when he suddenly heard a voice from next door saying: "What are you in such a rush for? As long as you kill Qiao Feng, I will be yours. Are you still in a hurry?"

"Don't worry, I have already discussed with the people of Xixia Yipin Hall, and this time he will not escape with wings."

"Oh, don't..."

Hu Qian shook his head, suddenly worried that the three people who went up the mountain were about to get up from the bed, and suddenly touched the bedside cabinet, with a little force, he threw it on the ground with a "plop".

The voice next door stopped immediately.

When Hu Qian was leaning on the bed, suddenly a man dressed as a beggar gang pushed in the door, saw Hu Qian lying on the bed alone, looked at the cabinet on the floor, and asked in a deep voice: "You heard everything I said just now. right?"

Hu Qian shook his head and was about to speak when the man approached him suddenly and tapped Hu Qian's chest twice.

Hu Qian was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that he couldn't move.

Acupuncture? !
The man picked up Hu Qian and took him to the next room.

Hu Qian immediately saw a beautiful woman sitting there. Looking at her, she was about 30 years old. Seeing Hu Qian, he frowned slightly, "Why did you arrest such an ugly man?"

"He heard what we said next door, I clicked his acupuncture points...do you want to kill him?"
