    <!¡ª¡ª> ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Jiang Xiao is a complex and contradictory person, possessing both crazy and cautious characteristics.  In order to realize his own intentions, he always goes to any lengths at any cost, but at the same time he will carefully reserve a retreat for himself.  Therefore, if Jiang Xiao dared to secretly sneak back to Nanjing and continue to hunt Hu Xiao while the government was pursuing him, he naturally had his own support.  Three months ago, after Jiang Xiao led the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers to secretly arrive in Nanjing following the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, the first thing he did was to conduct a comprehensive investigation of all the local snakes in Nanjing City, and then selected a grain gang leader and a group of gangsters.  Hundreds of Nanjing defenders were named and managed to control them.  Among them, the leader of the grain gang is named Cai Tan, and the Nanjing garrison household is named Tang Kun.  And the personalities and styles of these two people are completely different and completely opposite.  Although Tang Kun was a military attache of the Nanjing garrison, he was addicted to gambling, greedy for life and afraid of death, but also cowardly. He was a pure villain; while Cai Tan was the complete opposite. Although he was just a gang member,  But he is also an honest family man, filial to his parents, respecting his wife, and doting on his children.  After Jiang Xiao selected these two people as his targets, he formulated different countermeasures based on their personalities and characteristics, and completely captured these two people.  In response to Tang Kun's lust for gambling, Jiang Xiao first set up a trap to make him owe huge gambling debts, then tricked him into embezzling military supplies to repay the debts, and finally caught Tang Kun having an affair with a widow, who was  The legacy of a garrison with thousands of households; In view of Cai Tan's filial piety and Gu family, Jiang Xiao's method was even simpler. He directly sent people to kidnap and control his parents, wife and daughter, and forced Cai Tan to violate several important gang rules.  , once the matter is exposed, they will be punished with three swords and six holes; In this way, Tang Kun and Cai Tan can only obey Jiang Xiao and let Jiang Xiao dictate.  Jiang Xiao chose to control Tang Kun and Cai Tan, not only because these two people had obvious weaknesses, but also because the entrance of the river where Qingxi merged into Nanjing City was located within their defense zone and sphere of influence.  Nanjing is located in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, with dense and complex rivers. In addition to the most famous Yangtze River and Qinhuai River, there are more than 40 different rivers scattered throughout the city, and Qingxi is one of them, although its scale and reputation are not large.  , but also runs through the entire city of Nanjing.  Jiang Xiao saw this clearly, so he used all means to tame Tang Kun and Cai Tan.  With the secret assistance of these two people, Jiang Xiao and his "Chaofeng" dead soldiers can quickly enter and exit Nanjing through the Qingxi River in an emergency, treating Nanjing's city defense as if it were nothing.  In the evening of that day, Jiang Xiao and his hundreds of "Chaofeng" dead soldiers secretly returned to Nanjing through the Qingxi River.  * * When Jiang Xiao quickly jumped out of the boat and set foot on the bank of Qingxi River in Nanjing City again, Tang Kun and Cai Tan, who had been waiting for a long time, also quickly came up to them. They both looked nervous and felt uneasy.  Compared with Tang Kun, who was timid and weak, and dared not speak out when he was angry. Although Cai Tan was also controlled by Jiang Xiao, his temperament was more upright. When he saw Jiang Xiao, he directly accused him angrily: "Why did you choose this time?  Returning to Nanjing? Do you know that the city of Nanjing is under martial law? At noon today, I was summoned to the main hall of the Liang Gang and saw your portrait with my own eyes!  Everyone must pay close attention to your whereabouts. Once discovered, they will be arrested at all costs. I was almost scared to death when I saw your portrait. I finally controlled my expression and did not change my color on the spot. It was obvious that the people behind the Liang Gang  Zhou Shoufu and the head of the Song family have already known about your existence! And you dare to sneak back into the city secretly at this time. Not only do you want to die, but you also want me and Tang Baihu to be buried with you. You are simply crazy and insane  " Seeing that Cai Tan continued to accuse himself, Jiang Xiao suddenly turned cold and said in a cold voice: "I didn't expect Brother Cai to care about me so much. I'm really touched Let's do this, in return.  , I can order you to prepare a generous gift for Brother Cai right now! Tell me, what gift do you want? Your youngest son¡¯s ears? Or your mother¡¯s finger?¡± Jiang Xiao is so threatening.  It was like a basin of cold water directly extinguished the anger in Cai Tan's heart, causing Cai Tan's expression to change drastically and his face to turn pale.  Therefore, Cai Tan no longer dared to accuse Jiang Xiao, but gritted his teeth and asked: "Tell me, why did you choose to return to Nanjing at this time? How do you need me and Tang Baihu to cooperate with you? But let's talk  Okay, after this matter is over, you must return my old parents, wife and children in full!" Just when Jiang Xiao andWhile Cai Tan was negotiating in a low voice, more than a hundred "Chaofeng" dead soldiers under Jiang Xiao had also come ashore one after another.  These "Chaofeng" dead soldiers were undoubtedly well-trained. After landing ashore, they quickly controlled the surrounding situation. Some were responsible for perimeter security, while others quietly surrounded Cai Tan and Tang Kun, as well as those behind them.  Several of his confidants seemed to kill them immediately as long as Jiang Xiao gave an order.  Tang Kun was originally full of awe of Jiang Xiao. After noticing this situation, he couldn't help but feel frightened. He secretly cursed Cai Tan in his heart for not knowing how to live or die, for daring to offend Jiang Xiao, the God of Death, in person.  So, after seeing Cai Tan finally relenting, Tang Kun hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Brother Jiang, if you have any orders, just say so! As long as it's not a matter of death, brother, I will do my best!  " "Brother Jiang" Jiang Xiao sneered softly and said slowly: "I have never revealed my surname and origin to you before, but Tang Baihu now calls me 'Brother Jiang'.  The Liang Gang not only got my portrait, but also knew my true identity? How did they find this information?" Under Jiang Xiao's cold gaze, Cai Tan did not dare to hide it, and immediately  He informed Jiang Xiao of the information he knew in detail: "At around 9 o'clock this morning, a mysterious man suddenly contacted the Liang Gang privately and said that he was being hunted by a group of desperadoes, and you were one of these desperadoes.  The leader of the gang, he firmly believes that you will soon venture into Nanjing City and continue to hunt him, so he wants to seek asylum from the Liang Gang. At the same time, he also handed over your portrait and identity information to the Liang Gang  ¡­ You also know that the backing of our grain gang is the Caoyun Yamen, and the backstage of the Caoyun Yamen is Zhou Shoufu, so the news was soon known to Zhou Shoufu, so under Zhou Shoufu¡¯s order, all the forces in Nanjing city  We are paying close attention to your whereabouts, so once you show up in Nanjing City, you will be immediately surrounded and suppressed by the black and white forces. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you will not be able to escape! "  After hearing that the situation in Nanjing was so dangerous for him, Jiang Xiao remained calm and unafraid. After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Where is the mysterious person who has private contact with the Liang Gang? Are you?  Do you know his physical appearance?¡± Cai Tan shook his head and said, ¡°Our Liang Gang originally wanted to control this person, but he was extremely alert and had already escaped before we could take action and completely lost his trace.  I feel that his contact with the Grain Gang and seeking asylum from us is a lie. Taking the opportunity to pass on your information to us is his real intention! As for this person's physical appearance, I also specifically inquired about him. I heard that he is short, lean, and has a dark complexion.  Shining, extremely alert and slippery, and a pair of dazzling wolf eyes." After hearing this, Jiang Xiao's eyes suddenly burst out with a ray of light, and he sneered and said to himself: "It seems that Brother Hu has discovered me.  He doesn't forget his old feelings and wants to kill me! To do this, he doesn't hesitate to involve all the forces in the government and grain gang. It really seems like his style!" Then, Jiang Xiao asked Cai Tan and others!  Tang and Kun asked in detail about the changes in the situation in Nanjing, especially Huo Zhengyuan's latest news.  Jiang Xiao once witnessed with his own eyes that Hu Xiao and his men rescued several of Huo Zhengyuan's staff during the flood, and then rushed to Nanjing with several of Huo Zhengyuan's staff. Apparently, he had some relationship with Huo Zhengyuan.  Now, the Nanjing government is imposing martial law and manhunts throughout the city, so if nothing unexpected happens, Hu Xiao is most likely to be evading the Nanjing government's arrest under the protection of Huo Zhengyuan, so Jiang Xiao is paying special attention to Huo Zhengyuan's movements.  Faced with Jiang Xiao's inquiry, Cai Tan and Tang Kun naturally did not dare to hide anything. Tang Kun was the first to answer: "There is chaos in Nanjing now. The government wants to impose martial law and arrest, but the United Shipping Company  ' led people from all walks of life to protest and cause trouble, believing that the government's martial law had seriously affected people's lives. The grain gangs and the servants of the gentry took advantage of the chaos to break in and search for bandits, while the Nanjing Guarding Eunuch Mansion sent all the factory guards to try their best to obstruct  It is simply a mess, and no one can tell what the situation in Nanjing is now! But I believe that the Nanjing government is no longer able to control the situation, and I am afraid that it will soon give in and gradually lift the martial law in the city, so Jiang  Brother, if you want to take action, it is best to wait for two days and wait until the Nanjing government completely lifts the martial law before taking action!" After Cai Tan thought for a moment, he also replied: "As for that Academician Huo, we  The Liang Gang was also ordered to secretly monitor him all the time. I heard that the great scholar Huo was planning to hold a banquet, which was scheduled for the evening of the day after tomorrow. And the banquet was very large, and all the prominent figures in Nanjing were under the influence.  In order to hold this banquet, they accepted the invitation.Not only did he spend a lot of money to rent several other courtyards around his temporary residence, but he also borrowed many dancers and servants from Nanjing's Ministry of Rites to use them Starting from chen o'clock this morning, this scholar Huo University  The temporary residence has always been busy with people coming and going!  Because of this situation, the Liang Gang's surveillance mission became even more difficult, and it was impossible to detect the specific actions of the great scholar Huo and his henchmen.  " After hearing this, Jiang Xiao became more and more certain that Hu Xiao was most likely hiding under the protection of Huo Zhengyuan, and the reason why Huo Zhengyuan went to great lengths to hold a banquet was probably to protect Hu Xiao.  If Huo Zhengyuan had not held this huge banquet, then Jiang Xiao could have directly led his "Chaofeng" soldiers to raid Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence, find out Hu Xiao's specific whereabouts with lightning speed, and then  He left before the Nanjing officials reacted. But because Huo Zhengyuan suddenly decided to hold this banquet, all forces in Nanjing paid close attention to it, and a large number of people were added to Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence, so Jiang Xiao could not.  He took action directly. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao's eyes kept flickering, sometimes sinister and sometimes cruel. After thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Xiao sneered and said to himself: "Is the situation in chaos?  The situation is obviously great!  We must take action before the Nanjing government lifts martial law. If we wait until the Nanjing government lifts martial law, that person will definitely take the opportunity to escape from Nanjing!  Nowadays, the situation in Nanjing is chaotic, and various forces are restraining each other. Some things are more difficult to be obstructed!  " Hearing what Jiang Xiao said, Tang Kun and Cai Tan became even more frightened. Although they didn't know what Jiang Xiao wanted to do, they also knew that what Jiang Xiao did must be extraordinary, but they  Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiao wanted to take action before the government lifted martial law, completely ignoring the various crises and chaos in Nanjing. However, looking at Jiang Xiao's sinister expression, Tang Kun and Cai Tan still remained.  They didn't dare to object directly, but secretly prayed that Jiang Xiao's follow-up actions would not affect them. Jiang Xiao did not consider the thoughts of Tang Kun and Cai Tan at all, and made a decision quickly.  Cai Tan, you have two tasks now!  The first is to choose a hidden place for us people to stay within the jurisdiction and sphere of influence of the two of you, try to cover up our whereabouts, and try to stop the raids by all forces. I will arrange a few reliable  Manpower to assist you; The second is to find dozens of sets of clothes and identity certificates of Nanjing defenders and grain gang members, and hand them over to my men as soon as possible so that they can operate secretly in Nanjing city Don't worry, all my brothers are  They are elite men with quick tempers. As long as you provide full cover, they will never expose the role of you two!  " Then, before Tang Kun and Cai Tan could respond, Jiang Xiao waved his hand and said: "Now, you two go and prepare!  " Seeing Jiang Xiao being so arbitrary, Tang Kun and Cai Tan became even more uneasy, but still did not dare to object, so they had no choice but to leave as ordered. After watching Tang Kun and Cai Tan leave, Jiang Xiao's face became even colder, and he turned around.  Heading to the "Chaofeng" dead soldiers, he further ordered: "Li Si, Li Wu, you two will pretend to be Nanjing defenders and find Guan Laosan and others who returned to the city early as soon as possible. Help them hide their traces.  He also told Guan Laosan and the others that it was because they messed up the mission and leaked their whereabouts that the Nanjing government called for a manhunt and martial law. The entire 'Chaofeng' organization was also in danger of being exposed because of them. Under normal circumstances,  They must die to apologize!  But this time, I am willing to give them a chance to make meritorious service. Within the next two days, they must be ready to take action at any time. After receiving my signal, they must take the initiative to show up and let the Nanjing government discover their whereabouts.  I attract the attention of all forces Of course, I will also make complete preparations and reserve an escape route for them, so that they will not die in vain!  " "Jiang Sisan, you go to Zhanyuan secretly, contact Mr. Lu Delu secretly, and ask him to find a way to persuade His Highness the Seventh Prince to extend the martial law in Nanjing to two days, and also find ways to further restrict it.  The operational authority of the Nanjing government and Nanjing defenders!  " "Niu Qi, you led a few people to pretend to be members of the Grain Gang and went to investigate the situation near Huo Zhengyuan's temporary residence. Huo Zhengyuan borrowed many low-ranking servants from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. You took the opportunity to control several of them and blackmailed them into becoming our spies.  , try to find out the specific situation of the people around Huo Zhengyuan" In this way, with Jiang Xiao's continuous instructions, a fierce storm affecting all forces is about to descend on Nanjing.?¡­?¡­?<!¡ª¡ª  ¡ª¡ª>
