Chapter 176 You Just Need to Know How to Play the Suona
Zhuifeng's words revealed a signal, that is, anyone who came to him secretly could be treated as a gangster killer, without having to worry about the other party revealing his identity and making enemies with any righteous sect.

Even if one day we need to go to court, or have a fight in the martial arts world over a matter of life and death, I will always be right.

"So, the scholar was taken to Cuiwei Mountain?"

Upon hearing that his friend was trapped in a den of thieves, Zhu Wushuang suddenly became anxious and wanted to rush in with his sword to save his friend from the danger.

“It’s possible, but not certain!”

Zhuifeng said: "After all, the disappearance of the scholar is likely related to his identity as the 'Guanzhong Hero'."

"But it is difficult for us to judge now. Is Ji Wubing and Gongsun Wulong here for the military classics or for the scholar? Or maybe both? We need to think carefully!"

It’s too troublesome!

Lu Ping sighed: "Forget it, I'll go there myself!"

"Just go over and take them all out, then come back and slowly look for the people."

Zhuifeng thought to himself that this was not good and that the young man was too impulsive.

"Absolutely not!"

"I know you're very strong, but they have more than 300 experts!"

"This is just the obvious situation. There are countless people hiding in the dark waiting to reap the benefits. If you rush forward like this, you will just be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth."

"Why don't we wait for the imperial court's support to arrive? I will bring a large army with you..."

Lu Ping understood Zhuifeng's intention, but the complete set of military manuals with eleven volumes and his thorough understanding of it, as well as the results of his diligent practice in recent days, gave him enough confidence.

This time, you can take some time off.

"No need!"

"Lu has his own style!"

After saying that, Lu Ping turned and left, giving everyone present a dashing back.

But after taking only two steps, he seemed to have thought of something, suddenly stopped and turned back.

Zhuifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you change your mind?"

Lu Ping shook his head: "That's not the case, I just want to borrow someone from the government!"

"You... Hey, okay!"

Zhuifeng frowned and hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind: "I will go with you."

"Don't look at me like this. After all, I am also a member of the Six Gates. I still have some face in the martial arts world..."

As he spoke, he started laughing.

Clinker Lu Ping just shook his head.

"You misunderstood. I didn't want you to go with me."

"Ah?!" Zhuifeng was dumbfounded, his laughter stuck in his throat.

Is there another expert in this government office that I don't know about?

"Who are you looking for?"

Lu Ping stretched out his hand and pointed to the side: "That's him!"

Everyone turned to look and was stunned.

Because the person Lu Ping was referring to was none other than the current chief constable of Qixia Town, Yan Xiaoliu.

Zhuifeng widened his eyes, looked at Yan Xiaoliu, then looked at himself, and really couldn't figure out where he had lost.

Is it because of bad appearance or bad status?

Is it because of poor brains or poor martial arts?

Old Xing's eyes widened as well. After realizing what was happening, he immediately pulled Lu Ping back and said, "No, you're looking for Xiao Liuzi? How can he help you? He can't even hold a knife steadily!"

"If you really feel that there is no one left, then I can do it too!"

Old Xing knew that this journey was extremely dangerous and that life and death were unpredictable. He thought to himself that rather than letting his only disciple suffer, it would be better for him, as the master, to die.

Yan Xiaoliu was also panicked.

He had heard everything that had just been said, and he knew that matters of this magnitude were simply not something that a junior constable like himself, who had only been in office for a few months, could handle.

So he turned for help to his most trusted master and the most powerful boss around him.

"Master, Captain Zhuifeng, please save me..."

"Wushuang, please speak for me too..."

"With someone like me, I'd probably die of exhaustion before I even reach the enemy's base camp. How can I be of any help..."

However, at this moment, the three of them were in deep shock and had no time to pay attention to him.

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

"I don't need you to go into battle and kill the enemy!"

Lu Ping walked over, smiled and patted Yan Xiaoliu on the shoulder: "Just show your old skills!"

"Old business?" Yan Xiaoliu looked confused.

"Yes, that's my old profession!"

Lu Ping nodded, with a big smile on his face, "I remember you can play the suona, right?"

Yan Xiaoliu looked around at everyone and said honestly, "Yes..."

Lu Ping asked again: "Can you learn a new song in one hour?"

Yan Xiaoliu felt his scalp tingling: "Okay..."

Lu Ping suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky.

"That's enough!"

"Let's find a place to practice. We'll set off in an hour!"

"I'll take you flying, I guarantee you'll accomplish great feats this time!"...

On a mountain peak five miles away from Cuiwei Mountain, Lu Pingyun used his "wisdom eyes to pierce the clouds" to look into the distance and survey the enemy's situation.

Looking at the densely packed and rustling figures in the forest opposite, Lu Ping was repeatedly greeting the Six Gates' intelligence system in his mind.

What do you mean there are 'more than 300 experts' here?
Looking around, there are more than three thousand people here!

So the total number of 'two thousand seven hundred people' can be represented by the word 'many' in the eyes of you people from the Six Gates, right?

Well... although two thousand seven hundred people is indeed a lot.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Lu Ping murmured softly.

"According to the time, the letter should have been delivered by now..."

……

There are many experts gathered in Cuiwei Mountain.

Xie Zhongda, the original leader of the bandits here, has now become a servant who serves tea and water to various masters.

However, just as the intelligence obtained by the undercover investigation of the Six Gates showed, the people who now occupied the bandits' den, although there were many people and they were quite powerful, they all had their own backgrounds, were dissatisfied with each other, and had many grudges against each other. In short, they were severely divided.

Even though three days had passed since they arrived here, they still hadn't decided who would be the boss, who would be in charge, and who would make the assignments.

It seems like the robbers are eating the meat before the meat is even cooked.

In the underworld alliance, there are no people who claim to be the righteous underworld, such as the Five Mountains and Seven Sects, or the Shaolin Beggars' Sect.

At least not on the surface.

Nowadays, the people in this mountain village are divided into three major forces and gather together.

The most powerful gang is the Money Gang.

Shangguan Jinhong led the team personally, with three important cadres in the gang, 'Whip God' Ximen Rou, 'Sweeping Thousands of Troops' Zhuge Gang, 'Green Devil Hand' Yi Ku, and hundreds of gang members.

In the past month, Shangguan Jinhong, who left his name on the World Monument as the 'No. 1 Wonder in the World', defeated these people one by one and recruited them into the Money Gang.

These people had been in the underworld for many years and knew that if they did not surrender they would only die. Moreover, Shangguan Jinhong was considered a great hero and they thought it would not be a humiliation to surrender to him, so they agreed.

Originally, there was still Jing Wuming who was always suppressing them.

But later, Jing Wuming died at the hands of the mad Lin Pingzhi, and these three people naturally inherited Jing Wuming's position, and are now ranked second in command of the Jinqian Gang.

In addition to the Jinqian Gang, another larger force is the Tianxiahui.

However, this is no longer the Tianxiahui led by Xiongba, but the Tianxiahui led by Duanlang!

Duan Lang also has several important and powerful cadres under his command.

They were none other than the Twelve Evils of Tianchi, who were killed by Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun and had only a few survivors, as well as several former members of the Twelve Constellations who had been recruited in recent days.

The fire at the Tianxiahui inadvertently activated the beast nature of the Qilin in the Huo Lin Sword, and Duan Lang's strength was greatly enhanced.

His growing ambition finally made him set his sights on Xiongba's inheritance.

Just at this moment, the Twelve Evils of Tianchi appeared in front of Duan Lang and expressed their willingness to serve.

In fact, they saw that Xiongba's situation was hopeless and they themselves were not strong enough, so they wanted to find someone to stand in front of them and protect them from the wind and rain, while they hid behind and did some small tricks, playing the game of sidelining the boss and enjoying themselves.

Duan Lang saw what the Twelve Evils of Tianchi were thinking, but he didn't mind. It just so happened that he also needed an assistant and more manpower.

So the two sides hit it off and started a close and long-term cooperation. Relying on their former reputation, they brought back some gang members who had fled, found another base, and pushed Duan Lang to the throne of the new gang leader.

On the other hand, because Wei Wuya died in the Tianxiahui, several of his disciples also surrendered to Duan Lang.

With the indirect guidance of those people, Duan Lang attacked the lair of the Twelve Constellations alone with a sword. In just a few days, he defeated the remaining three of the Twelve Constellations, Tiger, Sheep, and Rabbit, and brought them together.

This time, it is the New Tianxiahui’s first battle in the underworld.

Duan Lang’s idea is very simple, whether he can get the military classics is secondary, the important thing is to spread the reputation of the New Tianxiahui in the world!
The last force is the unorganized gangs of wandering people.

People like Lu Fengxian, You Longsheng, Gao Xingkong and Yan Shuangfei were all mentioned in Bai Xiaosheng's "Jianghu Monthly" in the "Inventory of Jianghu Weapons". They are all well-known and skilled fighters in the Jianghu.

In addition, there are even Japanese people, and no one knows how they got involved.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly.

The various underworld masters entrenched in the mountains were making a fire to cook a meal, preparing to have a hearty meal before discussing in detail the distribution of weapons and military classics.

At this moment, the servant who was sent to the foot of the mountain to deliver the message suddenly rushed into the mountain stronghold.

“Report——!!!”

Hearing the noise, everyone stood up, looked sideways, and stretched their heads to listen to what was happening.

Could it be that Lu Ping ran away?
Or are people from the imperial court planning to mediate?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the messenger ran to the high platform in the village, took out an envelope from his arms, and shouted loudly: "Just now, a constable brought a letter here, saying that it was written by Lu Ping, and asked me to give it to everyone on the mountain."

"I didn't dare to open it privately, so I had to bring it here!"

"My dear fellows, do you want to listen?"

Lu Ping’s letter?

Seeing this, everyone became interested.

Someone speculated: "Could it be that Lu Ping received the news and, seeing that we are outnumbered, he decided to voluntarily hand over the weapons and martial arts manuals?"

"Hahahaha...you're just dreaming!"

Another person laughed out loud: "I think that young man named Lu Ping is very aggressive. This time he might be issuing a challenge!"

"Issuing a challenge? To whom? You're not planning to challenge all of us alone, are you?"

Most people find this statement simply unreasonable.

"We have three thousand people here!"

"Three thousand people. Do you know what this means? It's more than the people in that small town at the foot of the mountain!"

"Each of us can drown him with a spit. How can that kid fight us?"

For a moment, the village was filled with a happy atmosphere.
