Chapter 138: Grand Manager Lu Gang
There was silence on the high wall, and after a long while, a voice said, "Are you the Ximen Hitomi in the 'Five Little Dogs'?"
These words were like a bell, and they reached the ears of many people on the road, and it made people feel that their ears were buzzing, and it was obvious that the person who asked the question also exercised his true qi to speak like this, and from this voice, it can be seen that this person's internal strength must be very strong. It's just that the courtyard wall of "Molten Iron Villa" is five zhang, and the arrow stacks on the wall are also four or five feet high, this person stands among the Zhuang Ding behind the arrow stacks, looking from under the wall, only half of his head is exposed, and he is taller and burly than the surrounding Zhuangxi, but he can't really see what he looks like.
Ximen Hitomi replied: "I am Ximen Hitomi, but I am no longer a disciple of the 'Evil Dog Gate'. ”
The voice on the wall asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ximen Tong said: "I want to marry Miss Lu as my wife, and I have come to propose to Mr. Lu, the head of your family." ”
The person on the wall of the courtyard had a burst of "haha" daxiao, he used his internal force to make a sound, and his voice was already extremely loud, and when he laughed at this time, the sound was even more harsh, which made people feel deafening and unbearable. Shopkeeper Chen, Wang Sangu and the others all covered their ears with their hands, and their faces showed painful expressions.
At this time, I only heard Simon Hitomi say loudly: "I came to propose marriage, what's so funny?"
Although his voice was not very loud, it was crisp and melodious, and it immediately suppressed the laughter of the person on the courtyard wall, and everyone only felt a light in their ears, and the piercing laughter was abruptly stopped.
At this moment, Ximen Hitomi and the master of the "Nine Immortals Society" on the wall of the courtyard were already competing with their internal strength with their voices.
Ximen Tong has a very high talent in martial arts, and he has practiced very hard for many years, although his internal strength is not as good as Chi Huameng's old monster, but he is by no means a weak person. The master on the courtyard wall just now used his internal force to laugh, although the voice was strong, but it was difficult to last, and Ximen Hitomi first made the other party laugh a few times, and a breath of true qi was almost consumed, and then he suddenly shot back, and immediately suppressed the other party's laughter and gained the upper hand.
His martial arts are known for his ingenuity, and he is good at borrowing strength, and this strategy of taking advantage of the opponent's liliang exhaustion to counterattack is exactly what he is good at.
And the person on the courtyard wall, who was proud of his internal strength, wanted to shake down everyone on the road with laughter and give Ximen Hitomi a dismount, but now the laughter was suddenly suppressed by others, and he couldn't make a sound with his mouth open, and his true qi was surging but he couldn't lift it, and he only felt like he had been punched heavily in his chest, and he was almost about to vomit blood!
Moreover, Ximen Hitomi is not really higher than him in internal strength, but he is just opportunistic and wins, at least he thinks so. Such a loss and humiliation made him unwilling, and he was so angry that he jumped like thunder!
After a while, he straightened out the true qi in his body, and he was relieved, and scolded: "Okay, you stinky boy, you dare to plot against your grandfather Lu Gang, you really don't want to live!"
Ximen Tong was calm and relaxed, and said: "Are you Lu Gang, the housekeeper of 'Iron Water Villa', just come to Guizhuang to propose marriage today, and ask Butler Lu to go in and report to Ximen Tong." ”
Na Lu Gang said angrily: "You kid who has been fired by the sect, and you still want to marry the eldest lady of our family, it's just that a toad wants to eat swan meat!
As soon as these words came out, the Zhuang Ding on the high wall bent their bows and arrows, and dozens of sharp arrows were aimed at the people under the wall. Shopkeeper Li was already frightened, and he only felt that his feet were weak, so he was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, but the second aunt Wang simply collapsed on the ground and cried. And the ten drumming bands and the eight dowry bearers, several of them turned around and wanted to run away, but they didn't dare.
At this time, everyone is only more than ten zhang away from the Zhuang wall, if the Zhuang Ding on the wall opens the bow and releases arrows, even if they want to run, they can't run away, they will still be shot by random arrows, but they will die faster.
But at this time, I only heard a melodious voice on the courtyard wall: "Slow, don't release the arrows first, Master Lu has an order, let this Ximen Gongzi enter the village to talk!"
Ximen Tong followed the prestige, but saw a man in white appear on the top of the high wall at some point, this person was thin, but he was extremely tall, like a thin bamboo pole, that Lu Gang was also tall, compared with this person, but he was still a head shorter. The man in white stood out from the crowd as if he stood out from the crowd, but his head and face were covered with a felt hat and a light veil of a length so that people could not see his face.
As soon as the housekeeper Lu Gang saw this person, he immediately bowed down and said, "The villain greets Lord Wu! What is the instruction that Lord Wu only needs to order his subordinates to pass the word, why do you have to come in person?"
Lu Gang was originally the housekeeper of the "Hot Water Villa", and his status in the sect was not low, but when he saw this man in white, he had a deferential attitude and regarded himself as a subordinate, obviously this person must have a very good background. Ximen Tong had heard Hua Bushi say before that the old demon of lifelessness has six descendant disciples, known as the "Six Uniques of Lifelessness", and Zhuo Yiwen is the youngest apprentice "Frost Ji", and just now Lu Gang called this white-clothed person "Master Fog", so he guessed that this person must be the fifth "Fog Shadow" in the "Six Uniques of Lifeless".
The man in white said: "I heard that this Ximen Tong was born very beautiful, like a big girl, and even the junior sister is quite fond of him, so I came to take a look!"
He turned his face to look down from between the arrows, but suddenly shouted, "That woman shut up, and if she screams again, she will cut your tongue!"
But these words were said to the third aunt of the king. Just now I heard Lu Gang order to shoot arrows on the wall, Wang Sangu sat on the ground with her buttocks, tore her throat and cried, she was born with a loud voice, this howl was even more piercing than the laughter that Lu Gang used his internal force to make before, it was really unbearable. At this time, hearing the shout of the white-clothed man "Fog Shadow", Wang Sangu immediately stopped her mouth, and did not dare to squeak again, the howl was as if it had been cut off with scissors, and it was immediately cut off. Although this Wang Sangu is spicy, her reaction is very fast and she knows the current affairs very well.
"Fog Shadow" looked at the high wall for a moment, originally because of the light veil of the mask, it was impossible to see his eyes, but Ximen Hitomi could clearly feel a cold gaze sweeping by, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, knowing that this man in white must not be an idle person. When martial arts practice reaches a certain level, he has a sense of the dangers in the outside world, and this glance of the man in white has already made Ximen Tong feel a cold killing intent.
I only heard the sound of chains, and the suspension bridge that was more than ten zhang long and wide was put down and placed on the moat, and the two wooden village doors opened "squeak", and four Zhuang Ding and a big man in brocade clothes came out, but it was the chief manager Lu Gang.
Just when Lu Gang was standing on the high wall, he couldn't see his face clearly, and when he went down to the wall, he saw that he was a strong man with a height of more than six feet, who looked fierce, but his beard was shaved cleanly, revealing a face of horizontal flesh.
Lu Gang and the four Zhuang Ding went out of the village gate, but they did not walk across the suspension bridge, but stood by the moat.
I only heard Lu Gang say: "Ximen Tong, Master Lu has an order, let you enter the village to see him, you can come in!"
Ximen Tong nodded, and said to the group of pickers behind him: "Let's go in together!"
Shopkeeper Li secretly complained in his heart, there are many wicked people in this "Iron Water Villa", and he almost shot them with an arrow just now, as soon as he entered the villa, Ximen Tong must not be able to protect them, but he was afraid that he would send his life inside.
Fortunately, at this time, Na Lu Gang suddenly shouted: "Ximen Tong, the head of the sect asked you to enter the village to see him, but he didn't let these many people enter the village, these idlers are all left here for me, and they are not allowed to enter!"
Ximen Tong said: "In the next day, I came to Guizhuang to propose relatives, these people are all honor guards with the public, how can they not enter the village together?"
Lu Gang said: "You take these many people into the village, I don't know if there are assassins and killers mixed in, in case you have bad intentions, they are not allowed to come in, who cares if you mention relatives or not!"
Ximen Hitomi snorted lightly and said, "You people in the Demon Dao like to carry out assassinations, do you think that others are as despicable and shameless as you, and you take assassin killers around all day long?"
Lu Gang was furious and said, "Okay, your surname is Ximen, your mouth is not inferior, do you think that our 'Nine Immortals Society' will not dare to kill you!"
Ximen Tongmei's eyes were cold, he looked at Lu Gang, and said, "Ximen Tong just came to propose marriage today, and I don't want to do anything with you, but if you want to kill me, you can come and try it." ”
Lu Gang clenched his fists and was about to step forward, but he heard the leisurely voice of the white-clothed man "Fog Shadow" on the high wall and said, "Steward Lu, move slowly." ”
The status of the "Fog Shadow" is obviously higher than that of Lu Gang, as soon as he spoke, Lu Gang immediately became zhanzhu, but he heard the "Fog Shadow" and said: "Ximen Tong, since you said that you came to propose marriage and want to marry the eldest lady of the Lu family, Lu Gang can also be regarded as a member of the Lu family, but your attitude towards him is so arrogant, don't you know the etiquette of asking for marriage at all?"
When Ximen Tong heard this, the expression on his face calmed down, his hands clasped into his chest, and said: "There is no disrespect in the lower parts, if there is any offense in Shicai, please forgive Steward Lu." These drummers and matchmakers, it's okay if Steward Lu doesn't let them enter the village, but if the two boxes of dowry gifts are not accepted by the Lu family, and they are not in line with the courtship, please ask Steward Lu to be accommodating. ”
Lu Gang raised his eyebrows and said: "If you are disrespectful, don't you just pay one sentence? If you really want to ask for a kiss, you will come over and kneel down in front of Uncle Lu to make amends, uncle, I may not care anymore, let you and those two boxes of dowry into the village!"
He grinned "hehe", and said: "If you don't want to, get away immediately, don't come to the 'Molten Iron Villa' to find trouble!"
Ximen Tong glared at Lu Gang angrily, and was speechless for a while.
The white-clothed man "Fog Shadow" said: "Ximen Hitomi, although Master Lu originally wanted to summon you, but you are abusive and arrogant, if you don't apologize, Lu Gang, as the housekeeper of the 'Iron Water Villa', also has the right not to let you in." ”
