Chapter 23 Despicable Beggar Gang Elder
Ling Chen asked Li Yanzong to stay and deal with the bodies of Quan Guanqing and others before looking for reinforcements. He was responsible for guiding the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty. In fact, it was not a reckless move. He observed the border between Xixia and the Song Dynasty and found that there were steep cliffs on both sides. Perhaps he was still worried about these reinforcements riding on the flat road. However, Ling Chen, who had learned to walk through Lingbo, had enough confidence to get rid of those who were chasing him far away.
As expected by Ling Chen and Li Yanzong, the reinforcements who came on horseback were really from the Beggars' Gang. Ling Chen recognized them at a glance from their clothes. Although several of them were wearing clean clothes, they had cloth bags on their waists, so their identities were easy to identify.
When Ling Chen discovered this group of Beggar Gang personnel riding horses, these Beggar Gang personnel naturally discovered Ling Chen.
Because Ling Chen was wearing the armor of Xixia soldiers at this moment, these Beggar Gang members waved the weapons in their hands and attacked Ling Chen without any hesitation. "Hurry up, there is a Xixia soldier here, kill him!"
"Haha, it's true that's the same as I guess, these idiots!" Looking at the members of the Beggar Gang who was striking towards him, Ling Chen laughed instead of anger, and began to force the members of the Beggar Gang to a remote path.
"Don't let this Xixia dog thief run away, brothers, chase me!" Seeing Ling Chen running towards the small path, the man in white in the lead immediately shouted at the disciples of the Beggars' Sect behind him, and immediately the team of dozens of people was all taken to the small path by Ling Chen.
Due to the rugged roads, the speed of riding horses by members of the Beggar Gang was reduced, and it was not even as fast as their usual walking speed! Seeing the distance between them and Ling Chen getting farther and farther away, the man in white in the lead suddenly became anxious and called on the Beggar Gang's disciples to dismount and chase Ling Chen on foot.
"Abandon the horse and chase me, then I will have enough fun with you!" Ling Chen smiled coldly at the behavior of these Beggar Gang disciples getting off the horse and chasing him, and another plan came to his mind.
Ling Chen maintained a speed that was neither fast nor slow, and brought the Beggar Gang's disciples to the depths of the path. Because Ling Chen deliberately maintained his speed at this moment, the Beggar Gang's disciples could not catch up with Ling Chen, but they could see Ling Chen's figure, which made them really unwilling to give up. So they could only follow him to the depths without any effort, and slowly they didn't know where they were running!
After completely hiding the disciples of the Beggar Gang, Ling Chen smiled proudly. When he took his own Lingbo microstep, he quickly threw them away and ran to the place where they had dismounted.
When Ling Chen returned to his original place, the horses of the Beggar Gang disciples were still eating grass leisurely in the distance.
"Hehe, you want to abandon the horses, so you can walk back to the Song Dynasty slowly!" Ling Chen showed a bad smile on his face, and then he slapped the horses a few randomly, causing them to run towards different places. He himself chose the best one, took off the armor of the Western Xia soldiers, and rode his horse leisurely towards the Song Dynasty.
After having horses to carry, Ling Chen's driving speed increased a lot. He had already entered the territory of the Song Dynasty that afternoon. He casually found an inn to stay in and prepared to have a good rest, but the trouble he did not expect was to quietly find him.
Just as Ling Chen was having supper in this inn, a noise came from outside the door. Then a few disciples of the Beggars' Sect and a middle-aged man with extraordinary demeanor walked into the inn.
"Elder Bai, it's him, he's the one riding the black horse!" One of the Beggars' disciples pointed at Ling Chen and said to the middle-aged man.
"Elder Bai, is it the law enforcement elder of the Beggars' Sect - Bai Shijing!" After hearing the words of these Beggars' Sect disciples, Ling Chen also guessed his identity in his heart.
"What do you mean by this little brother?" The middle-aged man waved his hand to signal the Beggar Gang disciples around him to calm down, then walked to Ling Chen and asked him.
"Ling Chen, who is your lord?" Ling Chen looked at the middle-aged man and asked seriously.
"I'm under the law enforcement elder of the Beggars' Sect - Bai Shijing!" The middle-aged man also directly reported his identity.
"Oh! It turns out that it is Elder Bai of the Beggars' Sect. He is so rude. I wonder what Elder Bai is asking me for?" After confirming that the other party's identity is really Bai Shijing, Ling Chen was also a little surprised. He knew Bai Shijing very well after reading the original work of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". On the surface, he seemed righteous and selfless, but in fact he was also a hypocritical person with a polite and moral character, but his belly was full of thieves and prostitutes, a lowly and vulgar, and a perfect hypocrite. After being confused by the wife of the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, Kang Min, he actually joined forces with him to frame Qiao Feng, who was a life-saving grace to save him. Ling Chen was naturally very disgusted with such a shameless villain, but he could not express this disgust now, so Ling Chen still looked at Bai Shijing with a smile and said.
"Little brother, was the black horse at the door you rode before?" Bai Shijing looked at Ling Chen and asked coldly.
"That's right, it's what I rode!" Hearing Bai Shijing's question at this moment, Ling Chen had already guessed in his mind why Bai Shijing and the Beggar Gang members were looking for him. It was probably because the horse he rode was recognized by the Beggar Gang disciples, so he regarded it as an enemy at this moment and surrounded himself in this way. However, Ling Chen had already had a way to deal with this problem, so he was not worried and admitted it directly.
"Since that's the case, little brother, please come with us!" Bai Shijing was still a little surprised when he saw Ling Chen admitting so readily, and thought to himself that this person was stupid. Didn't he know that his horse belonged to their Beggars' Sect? After entering the city with such a swagger, he didn't argue without quibbling. However, since Ling Chen admitted it, Bai Shijing saved a lot of trouble and waved his hand to the Beggars' Sect's disciples around him, preparing to take Ling Chen back for a brief interrogation.
"Wait a minute, Elder Bai, why am I going to go with you? I picked this horse up. Is there anything wrong with it?" Ling Chen pretended to be innocent and questioned Bai Shijing.
"I picked it up, you really know how to say that this is obviously Heiju, the ninth generation disciple of our Beggars' Sect. If you want to explain with me, go to the Beggars' Sect's Law Enforcement Hall to explain slowly!" Bai Shijing smiled coldly and obviously didn't believe Ling Chen's explanation.
"Sorry, I don't want to go to your Beggars... Gang's law enforcement hall, what did you do!" Ling Chen, of course, shook his head and objected to Bai Shijing's law enforcement hall. He was not a fool, so he naturally understood that if he followed Bai Shijing to their law enforcement hall, even if he could explain this matter clearly in the end, he would suffer some flesh and blood. Ling Chen, who has always believed that he would never be bullied by others, would of course not go. However, when he first spoke out, he felt dizzy in his head, and then he couldn't hold on to the ground.
"It's nothing, it's just a little sweating pill to prevent you from escaping. Brother, come with us to the law enforcement hall. If you are really innocent, our Beggars' Sect will not make things difficult for you!" Bai Shijing looked at Ling Chen and sneered.
"You are still... the Beggar Gang... Elder..., it's so... despicable!" Ling Chen wanted to contempt him with a few words of contemplation at Bai Shijing in advance, but the power of this contemplation drug is too great. Even with strong internal strength, he couldn't hold on. He felt his head sinking and fell asleep.
"Hmph, it seems that the amount is reduced this time, and this kid is still saying so much!" Bai Shijing was also a little surprised that Ling Chen could scold him so many times before he fell asleep. He immediately gave a wink at the Beggar Gang disciples beside him and asked them to come forward to take Ling Chen to the law enforcement hall of their Beggar Gang.
The other guests of these inns dare not say much about the behavior of the Beggar Gang staff. After all, the Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world. At this moment, it is still under the banner of defending the Song Dynasty, so naturally it is not something that ordinary people can offend.
"Elder, the gang leader and Elder Wu have arrived at the branch, and are waiting for you at this moment!" Just as Bai Shijing and his disciples took Ling Chen out of the inn, another Beggars' Gang disciple hurried to report to him from a distance.
"Uh, the gang leader and the others arrived so soon!" The gang leader and elder Wu mentioned by the Beggar Gang disciple were naturally the gang leader of the Beggar Gang - Qiao Feng and the elder of the Beggar Gang - Wu Changfeng. Bai Shijing was also a little surprised when he heard that they had arrived so soon. He immediately ordered his subordinates, "You can take this little guy to the law enforcement hall to punish him first. When I have met the gang leader and handle the matter, I will interrogate him!"
"I understand, Elder Bai!" These disciples of the Beggar Gang Law Enforcement Hall were very familiar with what Bai Shijing ordered. Generally, they torture the captured prisoners and completely torture their spirits. When Bai Shijing came to interrogate, it would be no difficulty, and they almost answered whatever they asked.
After all this was arranged, Bai Shijing hurried to the branch of the Beggars' Gang. When he arrived, Qiao Feng and Wu Changfeng were already discussing the next arrangement.
"Gang Master, Bai Shijing is late, please forgive me!" Bai Shijing immediately bowed to Qiao Feng seriously and said.
"Elder Bai, don't be polite. Come on, this is the latest information!" Qiao Feng immediately helped Bai Shijing up and handed the information in Wu Changfeng's hand to Bai Shijing and said.
After taking the information from Qiao Feng, Bai Shijing found that the information was from the reinforcements sent by the Beggars' Sect when they learned that Quan Guanqing was going to Xixia alone, that is, the group of people who led the path behind Ling Chen. According to what these people said, no trace of Quan Guanqing was found, but met a Xixia soldier on the way. After being taken into a canyon by him, he was completely lost and even lost his horse.
