Chapter 9: Sortie
Three days later, in the evening, the fiery clouds on the horizon had not completely faded.
Lei Lao Wu has been in a bad mood these days, and he is very bad! I thought it would be an easy task, but didn't I just tie up an orphan girl? Sending my own henchmen to go down for a trip seems a bit redundant. Who would have thought that the next morning to see that all three of them had fallen, and his henchman was the most seriously injured and had not woken up yet.
What Lei Lao Wufa accepted the most was that it was actually a few little beggars who had never cared about them like this. This matter has been known to his three eldest brothers, and every time he sees him in the past few days, he will run up and ask "kindly", "Old Five, are you looking for the little beggar again?"
The expression of lack of smoke made him not sleep well in the past few days, and the fire bubbles at the corners of his mouth kept bubbling out. He swore that if he had found the little beggars, he would never let them die a happy death.
On this day, Lei Lao Wu didn't even eat dinner, and he was dangling on the street again.
Suddenly, a thug behind him shouted, "Boss Lei!"
Lei Lao Wu was startled, turned around and slapped down, "Death!"
"Old... Top dog... That little beggar... It's the little beggar," the thug rubbed his flushed face and pointed to the front with his right hand trembling.
"Where?" Lei Lao Wu suddenly reacted, and turned to look at the flow of people in front of him.
"That's the one, the one in gray!" said the thug.
The little beggar in front seemed to have spotted Lei Lao Wu, turned around and ran.
"Chase!" Lei Lao Wu immediately led someone to chase after him......
The little beggar turned right and ran for several streets, exited the Chongrenfang Gate, and ran in the northeast direction. Lei Lao Wu followed closely with a few people.
When he ran to the edge of the small bamboo forest, the little beggar disappeared when he drilled into the bamboo forest.
"Okay! It turns out that he is hiding here, no wonder Lao Tzu hasn't found it in the past few days!"
"Come on, search for me!" a few thugs rushed into the bamboo forest.
"Ah, ah, ah" A few screams came, and the two men with knives beside Lei Lao Wu hurriedly pulled out steel knives to guard around him.
Lei Lao Wu also understood at this time that he was on the way. Years of experience in the rivers and lakes made him immediately alert, his right hand tightly grasped the hilt of the knife, his eyes were round, and he stared at the bamboo forest in front of him.
I saw more than a dozen teenagers, holding bamboo spears and shields in their hands, walking out in a strange formation.
"Little beggar, what have you done to them?" shouted Lei Lao Wu.
"I want to know, go in and see for yourself!" A steady voice came, and Lei Lao Wu saw that it was a teenager on the right side of the second row.
Lei Lao Wu thought about it and confirmed that he had not seen this person.
"I'll go and see it! I'll go see it after I clean you up!" Lei Lao Wu also calmed down.
The team slowly approached, and Xu Chen saw with the slanted light out of the corner of his eyes that several newly joined teenagers in the back were holding bamboo spears tightly in both hands, and sweat was still flowing on their foreheads.
Lei Lao Wu and the three of them took a few steps back when they saw the team slowly approaching. At this time, Lei Lao Wu suddenly remembered that the awakened minion had said that these beggars had lined up in a strange formation that day to kill them. Originally, he just thought that this was all the words of the minions, but when he saw the calm young man in front of him, the steady pace, he began to believe it.
The vigilance that came from years of training on the line of life and death made him can't help but retreat.
Seeing this, Xu Chen secretly said that it was not good.
"What, are you scared?" Xu Chen said calmly, and actually raised his hand to stop the team.
"If you're afraid, kneel down and kowtow to the grandfathers a few times, and the grandfathers will let you go!" Xu Chen laughed.
"Hahahaha"
Lu Hao and the other teenagers immediately burst out laughing.
The hearty laughter diluted a few traces of fear in the hearts of the teenagers.
Lei Lao Wu's eyes glared at everyone angrily, and his face was red.
"Grandson Lei, kneel!" Xu Chen shouted.
"Ahh
"Array!
Lei Lao Wu's steel knife had already been raised high, and he was greeted by two bags of sand and dirt rushing in front of him. Lei Lao Wu blocked it with his left hand, and a little sand still stubbornly burrowed into his eyes, and his eyes blinked a few times.
When Shi Lei saw the opportunity, the long bamboo in his hand immediately poked up, and with a click, part of the front end of the bamboo fell off in response. This Lei Lao Wu is worthy of being the "Four King Kongs", and the strength in his hands is so great.
Lei Lao Wu, who was overexerting himself, stumbled and was about to straighten his waist, when two bamboo spears were handed over just right. The right hand back knife blocked one, and the one on the left resolutely stabbed into Lei Lao Wu's abdomen, the wound was not deep, Lei Lao Wu returned the knife at the same time as his waist was forced, and his body moved a little to the right.
Xu Chen held the shield in his right hand and used all his strength to hit the moving body, Lei Lao Wu was about to fall when he saw it, and his right hand holding the knife hit the ground. At this time, a black shadow suddenly hit the top of his head, Lei Lao Wu tilted his head, and a long bamboo slammed on his shoulder, and the branches on the long bamboo pierced deeply into his shoulder and neck, and one end of the long bamboo was a baby-faced boy.
After Lu Hao's stabbing failed, the second time followed. Lei Lao Wu was held down by Shi Lei's long bamboo, and this time, Lu Hao stabbed deeply.
At this time, Lei Lao Wu's two men with knives had already fought with the young man behind Xu Chen, and the young man surrounded them in a group of four.
Xu Chen took the opportunity to throw away the bamboo shield in his left hand and pulled out a steel knife hidden behind him, which he had obtained in the hut by the lake that day. The right hand shook a shot, like Lei Lao Wu stabbing it.
"Ahh
Obviously, this charlatan also realized that he had reached the point of life and death, and burst out with amazing potential.
Xu Chen's false shot stabbed, Lei Lao Wu slashed with all his strength, and the bamboo spear was broken.
There was a pop, and the sound of a steel knife cutting through muscles was heard. Lei Lao Wu felt that his stomach was hot, and then his internal organs began to ache sharply.
After Xu Chen stabbed in, he threw away the broken bamboo with his right hand, clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and began to rotate the knife while pressing forward.
The knife in Lei Lao Wu's right hand slashed towards Xu Chen with all his might, and with a click, a bamboo shield cracked, and Lu Hao took two steps back.
Shi Lei picked up the long bamboo that was still half left in his hand and stabbed it into Lei Lao Wu's chest.
Lei Lao Wu's eyes began to blur, and he fell down unwillingly......
Xu Chen quickly drew his knife, blood splattered all over. Broke off the steel knife in Lei Lao Wu's hand, handed it to Shi Lei, and walked towards the two battle circles.
At this time, Lei Lao Wu's two followers saw that the boss was dead, and they suddenly lost their minds.
As soon as he was not careful, he was beaten by Wang Tieniu and Zhou Kang in the old way.
Xu Chen and Shi Lei joined the battle circle with steel knives in hand, and the morale of the teenagers was greatly boosted. Especially Xu Chen, covered in blood, like a demon god, crushed their remaining fighting spirit.
Soon, the two attendants were caught in their clothes by Changzhu, and several bamboo spears were stabbed on them......
The battle was fierce, but it ended quickly.
Xu Chen asked the remaining teenagers who had not seen blood to give a few more times to the followers who had not yet been short-term.
Several teenagers, as if they were still unsatisfied, or because the pressure was too great, kept stabbing with bamboo spears in their hands, and blood splashed their faces. When Xu Chen saw it, he didn't stop him and went with them.
Everyone sat on the ground, panting for air, and for a while there was no sound outside the small bamboo forest, only the sound of whirring panting and thumping heartbeats remained.
After everyone had rested enough, Xu Chen called everyone up, buried the blood stains on the ground with sand, and then used the cart prepared two days ago to carry the corpses of several people in sacks, and pushed them in the direction of East Lake.
The leather monkey even found a few pieces of broken silver on several people, which was an extra gain.
The people went to the East Lake, put a few big stones in the sack, and threw them vigorously, startling a few water birds that stayed overnight.
After returning to the backyard of the Huangcheng Temple, eating some food, and bandaging a few accidentally injured teenagers, everyone fell asleep deeply, Xu Chen sat by the bonfire alone, keeping watch for the night, thinking about tomorrow, and gradually fell asleep tiredly......
Before dawn, the rooster crowed three times.
Xu Chen immediately got up and woke everyone up. After eating breakfast indiscriminately, Xu Chen looked at the teenagers one by one, and as his gaze moved, the teenagers puffed up their chests.
After a battle, these young men, who were still immature, had a resolute look on their faces.
"Let's go!" Xu Chen didn't say much.
……
Taking advantage of the night that had not completely faded, Xu Chen led everyone to the alley next to the brothel, and he had already come to explore the terrain two days ago.
Waiting quietly, diagonally diagonally opposite is the door of the brothel, and a few prostitutes who have not returned all night come out yawning with dark eyes.
A middle-aged man in his forties, with a cloth bag hanging from his waist, walked out of the gate with this attendant.
"It's him!" Wang Tieniu whispered.
The group shifted their steps back, trying to hide their bodies in the shadows in the corners.
Feng Lao Er walked over slowly with his entourage. "Those two girls were so energetic last night! I couldn't do it in any danger, I look really old......" Feng Lao Er was still thinking about the two coquettish prostitutes in bed yesterday......
The two gradually walked into the depths of the alley, and suddenly, five or six teenagers appeared in front of them, holding a few bamboos in their hands. Feng Lao Er stopped, and he didn't react for a while.
"It's from another fang, it's not like it!" Feng Lao Er looked back, and five or six teenagers were slowly approaching.
"You are ......"
"Kill!" a short, powerful voice sounded.
The two teams of teenagers in front and behind quickly rushed up. Two more handfuls of sand opened the way, and the hangover Feng Lao Er obviously hadn't fully woken up yet, and his reaction was half a beat slower. Changzhu scraped over, and as soon as the steel knife in his hand was halfway undone, several bamboo spears pierced into his chest and abdomen......
A quarter of an hour later, several young men pushed a small cart with two sacks filled with things, and a few bamboos covered with mud, and slowly drove out of the workshop.
At the end of the hour, the private school in Chongrenfang, the gentleman who lectured walked into the door of the private school with a whip and books in his hand.
A group of teenagers, dressed in neat white shirts and with upright steps, entered the private school one by one.
In the distance on the side of the street, a strong man who looked to be about thirty years old, dressed in a white shirt, snow-white, whiter than the group of teenagers, with a full mouth and beard, walked towards the private school with an excited face, followed by a follower dressed as a scholar.
Qian Laosi is in a good mood today, as a charlatan, he has never forgotten the teachings of his parents, and hopes to become a reader. The people I admire most in my life are those who read, no matter where he goes, he always likes to hold a book, shaking his head and reading articles that no one understands.
Yesterday, the gentleman in the private school actually called his name in class and asked him a question, although he didn't answer, but this feeling of being recognized by the reader still made his blood boil, and that feeling was more cool than a few red cards in the Qinglou.
Last night, he pondered and meditated, and ran to ask a few old scholars who were setting up stalls on the roadside, and finally knew the answer to Mr. yesterday's question, and he was preparing to make a good presentation in class today.
"This brother is polite, in Xu Chen, dare to ask the name of the brother?" A young man stopped Qian Laosi.
Qian Laosi saw the young man opposite and saluted politely, although he was wearing a cloth shirt, he still couldn't hide the bookish aura on his body.
"Under the money... Qian Laosi" Qian Laosi made a similar salute to Xu Chen in a panic.
For Qian Laosi, this is the first time that a scholar has saluted him, and he is not only excited, but also not fluent. In fact, Qian Laosi's parents died as early as when he was a child, and the second elder who had never read a book when he was a child never gave him a big name.
Usually he doesn't think so, but now that a scholar he respects the most is asking his name, he is a little embarrassed.
"It turned out to be Brother Qian," of course this young man was Xu Chen, Xu Chen saw in the alley slowly approaching Qian Laosi, the white dazzling white shirt, made him resolutely change his plan.
From this dress that is whiter than the boy in the private school, it can be seen that this Qian Laosi is a meticulous person, coupled with a strong body, it is difficult to take him by surprise!
And next to it is the private school, the flow of people is surging, once you can't take it in a short time, let him run, tonight's general attack will be extremely difficult.
Therefore, Xu Chen ignored everyone's opposition and came out, anyway, it is impossible for this Qian Laosi to know who he is.
"Brother Qian also went to a private school?"
"Yes, yes, I also go to the private school to take classes, is Brother Xu too?" Qian Laosi was still a little excited.
"Exactly, Mr. has a life, and he has to obey Ah. Xu Chen said tentatively.
Qian Laosi does not doubt him, mainly because Xu Chen has read books for more than ten years, and the bookish spirit on his body is not to mention this Jianghu man, even those serious readers will not doubt it.
"Really? Mr. asked you to come to me, did you want to ask me about my homework?" Qian Laosi thought to himself, did Mr. ask this Brother Xu to check my homework.
"That's right, sir, I asked me to come to Brother Qian and ask, how are you prepared? Xu Chen took over the topic.
"Brother Qian, people come and go here, it's not a place to talk, why don't you and I go to the alley over there and have a good chat?"
Qian Laosi looked at the deep alley, and his years of experience in the rivers and lakes made him hesitate for a moment, but he turned his head to look at Xu Chen's sincere face again, and thought to himself that this scholar couldn't be sent by another gang, they didn't have this ability. He nodded.
Xu Chen took Qian Laosi to the alley, and the attendant dressed as a scholar followed.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, I don't think Brother Qian is like a scholar. Xu Chen said with some hesitation.
"Alas... This made Brother Xu see that he was indeed not a scholar, and his family was poor when he was a child, but the most respected person was you scholars. I don't go to a private school every day, I just want to read more. ”
"Brother Qian doesn't have to mind, if you are ambitious, you don't have to be old, Jiang Shang didn't have to meet King Wen until he was eighty years old, and Brother Xu still has a lot of time. Xu Chen comforted.
"Brother Xu is right! I think I can still learn now, and the bastards who are biased Lei Lao Wu are laughing at me every day. ”
"Brother Qian, why don't you and I exchange more reading experiences in the future?" Xu Chen made a gesture with both hands behind his back that Qian Lao Si didn't see.
"Okay! I can't ask for old money!"
"Okay, then today I will teach Brother Qian the first sentence, which is called 'Hiding a knife in a smile'......" Xu Chen took out the steel knife that had been hidden in his shirt, and casually stabbed it into the chest of Qian Laosi beside him, with a sincere smile still on his face.
