Chapter 10 No Grudge and No Hatred
At three o'clock, the city that had been noisy all day gradually quieted down, and only a few high-rise buildings in the center of the city were still happy day and night.
The old town of Dongcheng has long been asleep, but a small courtyard in Chongrenfang is still brightly lit.
"Is there still no news from Lao Wu?" a middle-aged man in his forties was standing in the courtyard with his hands on his hands, his face hanging heavily, and his wide robe could not hide his sturdy body.
"No, and now there is no news from the second and fourth brothers. The brother who sent out to investigate came back and said that the second brother had left the brothel in the morning and had disappeared since then. The merchants on the side of the private school also saw the fourth brother talking to a young man dressed as a scholar on the street, and then disappeared. Behind the big man walked a man in his thirties, wearing a waistcoat and shorts, with solid arms and thick thighs leaking.
"Scholar, young man?"
"That's right!"
The middle-aged man was silent, puzzled and puzzled.
This person is Sun Batian, Lei Lao Wu didn't return all night last night, and he didn't notice anything abnormal. After all, although Lei Lao Wu is not lustful, he is also a strong man, and it is normal to go to a brothel occasionally.
But today, the second and fourth children have also lost news one after another, and if he can't realize the problem, he won't be worthy of eating the bowl of rice in the rivers and lakes.
In fact, he has been guessing who did it for the past half a day, there are a total of several gangs in Yuzhang City, and he has gone through them all, and there is nothing abnormal about the news from the spies sent to keep an eye on him, and there is no useful news from the few who have tried their best to break into the inner lines of other gangs.
Over the years, similar crises have been encountered several times, but it was the first time that there was no warning in advance like this one, and he had no clue.
A few days ago, he knew that the fifth child took over a job, but the Du family fell in love with a girl in the sick workshop, and the other party was a few teenagers, and they were all fatherless and motherless beggars, so it was expected that nothing big would happen.
But who would have thought that the person sent by the fifth child was actually seriously injured and carried back, although he was a little surprised, he didn't say anything, and sent the two subordinates around him to the fifth child, so he didn't care about it. After all, it's just a few young people, and it's not impossible to kill the two big men by surprise, but since the fifth child has made a move, this matter is over.
In the past few days, Lei Lao Wu has been busy looking for those little beggars, and Sun Batian has been busy negotiating with several gangs in the city.
Until today, the second, fourth, and fifth children have all lost contact, and Sun Batian finally realized Yan zhòng's nature and hurriedly sent someone out to investigate.
Now, since the disappearance of the fourth child is related to a young scholar, those little beggars have the biggest suspicion.
Sun Batian has a similar fate as the Jianghu people in this year, he was born in a farmer's household, he lost his parents when he was very young, and his family's fields were also looted by the county officials, and his family was ruined overnight. Later, when he was wandering the world, he met a few men in the rivers and lakes, taught him a trick and a half, and after decades of licking blood, he also followed a few brothers.
Later, he returned to his hometown with his brothers, killed the official, and then ran incognito all over the world. A few years ago, I came to Yuzhang City and took root here.
The man who grew up in the green forest is the most brotherly righteousness. In addition, he has been lonely since he was a child, and he lacks family affection, so he regards these sworn brothers as his siblings.
Now, he has lost his hands and feet, and anger, anxiety, remorse, self-blame and other feelings envelop him, but the perennial experience of fighting tells him that he must be calm at this time!
"Tell the brothers not to sleep tonight, and you go and get ready. ”
"Will it be today?" asked Chen Laosan.
"Isn't it today, that is, in the past two days, that we have lost the opportunity, and if we don't do something, it will be difficult to wait for them to kill us?"
……
At this moment, the backyard of the Imperial City Temple.
A group of young people gathered together, quietly checking their outfits.
"Tonight is the last battle, and I am very satisfied with everyone's performance for the past two days, but then we will face a bloody battle, maybe some people will be injured, and some people will not even see the sun tomorrow. So, now I'm giving you a chance that those who choose to quit can come out, and I don't blame you. A teenager was giving his final words to the crowd.
Among the people, someone stopped and thought about it, and then looked up at the young man in front of him, thinking that it was under the leadership of this young man that these beggars who had no father and no mother and were bullied by others had cleaned up those ruffians and bullies who had usually bullied them in the past two days. Even those "heroes of the rivers and lakes" who are usually high in the sky have been killed by their own people. I believe that this young man will definitely be able to lead himself to win the next battle.
Xu Chen looked at these eyes that had recovered from confusion and became firm, and he was much more relieved. Two days ago, they were just some bold young people, but after killing them for two days, these people have grown to the point where they can fight.
"Okay, check your gear one last time, and get ready to go!"
"Brother Hao, has the person who set the fire been found?" asked Xu Chen.
"The people have arrived, and when the time comes, they will retreat after throwing their torches. ”
Xu Chen nodded, and said to Wang Tieniu again, "Have you caught anyone?"
"Don't worry, that kid has been knocked into a sack. ”
"It's getting late, everyone, let's go!"
As he spoke, he led everyone out of the Imperial City Temple......
In an alley near Sun Batian's courtyard, the teenagers waited quietly.
"The time was set at three o'clock, and most of the occupants of the house were asleep, and it was difficult to get up even if they heard the sound. When the time comes, the person Hao Ge'er is looking for will first throw a few torches in Sun Batian's backyard, and it doesn't matter if the fire can't burn, Sun Batian must be ready now, and he will definitely send a henchman to check it out, for the sake of safety, there are at least two people sent over. Then we only faced three people at the beginning, but the formation change surrounded them, and we were much safer. ”
Xu Chen repeated the steps of the action one last time.
In the middle of the moon, the hour of the child will soon come.
In Sun Batian's small courtyard, a few wooden sticks with fire suddenly flew in the backyard, burning the hay on the ground, and the fire quickly ignited.
"On fire" a scream sounded the battle horn.
"Let's go!" Xu Chen waved his hand heavily and led the teenagers towards the main gate of the courtyard.
At the same moment, Sun Batian, who was sitting in the lobby, opened his squinted eyes, "It's here!"
"Big brother, the backyard is on fire!" Chen Laosan came over and said.
"Find a few people to put out the fire, Ah Da and Ah Er go and take a look, don't care about the person who set the fire, just guard the back door. The third child stayed with me to meet the enemy. ”
"Yes! Big brother" Chen Laosan saw that the boss had sent all the henchmen around him, and he was alone to fight the enemy together.
With a "boom", the wooden door in the front yard fell in response, and Xu Chen rushed into the courtyard with all the teenagers in formation.
A group of ruffians, holding wooden roots in their hands, iron forks and other guys surrounded them, and some provocations and insults kept coming out of their mouths.
The young man was indifferent to this.
Sun Batian walked out of the lobby and looked directly at the young people in front of him, with neat steps and resolute eyes. In addition to the rags on his body, there is also a trace of the shadow of a little beggar.
It wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes at this time that he finally believed that his brothers were indeed planted in the hands of these teenagers, and it was estimated that they were more than lucky.
"Let your heads come out and speak," Sun Batian suppressed his anger and calmed down.
Xu Chen crossed Shi Lei and walked to the front, "Xu Chen." ”
"Sun Batian"
"Brother Xu, I don't know when Sun has a grudge against you, is there a grudge between you and me?" asked Sun Batian in a loud voice.
"No resentment and no hatred" Xu Chen looked directly at Sun Batian calmly.
"Hahahaha, what a grudge and no hatred!" Sun Batian was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
This is the end of the conversation, Xu Chen retreated into the formation, there was indeed no grudge between the two before, before this, Sun Batian didn't even know Xu Chen.
However, by this time, the words have no meaning, and all that remains is life and death.
"Attack!" Xu Chen gave the order to attack.
The formation was pushed forward, and soon they exchanged hands with the wandering gangsters, and the teenagers at this time were no longer the Wuxia Amuns of the past, and a scream came, and the teenagers cleanly and decisively solved the surrounding gangsters, and for a while, the gangsters behind were so frightened that they stopped.
Sun Batian frowned, although he already knew in his heart that these minions in front of him couldn't stop these teenagers, but he didn't expect these teenagers to be so sharp, and they were defeated as soon as they clashed.
There were no thugs in the way of the front of the team, and Sun Batian, Chen Laosan and the big man with a knife under him were close in front of him.
The team stopped, because Sun Batian had already raised the long knife in his hand, which was an elongated steel knife, with a knife-like shape, the front end was weighted and thickened, and the handle was very long, which was convenient for chopping at a glance.
Sun Batian raised the long knife with both hands, and the shadow of the knife was huge and slender under the moonlight, like a ghost stretched out from hell, and the heavy shadow pressed on the hearts of the teenagers.
"Take the crockpot and throw it!"
In an instant, a fist-sized clay pot was thrown out of the hands of the teenagers, and it flew towards Sun Batian and the three of them, and the three of them raised their knives, the walls of the jars were very thin, and they would shatter when they touched it. Suddenly, the sound of "hissing" was accompanied by screams, and there was a faint smell of meat.
The crockpot contained the boiling hot oil that Xu Chen had prepared for everyone in the afternoon, mixed with human and animal feces.
Sun Batian gritted his teeth fiercely, did not make a sound, and stared at the front of him with red eyes. "Ahh
A few lit fire folds flew in front of him, and Sun Batian knocked two of them casually and continued to rush forward. Even the trouser legs that were ignited by other fire folds were ignored.
With a "bang", Shi Lei raised his knife to block it, and Sun Batian's long knife slashed heavily on the steel knife in Shi Lei's hand, and a hole immediately appeared on the blade.
Sun Batian's power was great, and the long knife continued to press down, smashing the short bamboo tied to Shi Lei's shoulder, and even the stones contained in the bamboo were not spared, and the blade was embedded in Shi Lei's flesh and blood, and the blood suddenly stained Shi Lei's clothes red.
Seizing the opportunity, Xu Chen and Lu Hao grabbed the steel knife left and right and stabbed it at Sun Batian's abdomen, Sun Batian took a few steps back, moved his hands to the end of the long knife handle, and with a hard warp, the long knife left Shi Lei's shoulder. Drawing the knife back to defense, with two "bangs", Xu Chen Lu Hao's steel knife was blocked, leaving only two faint openings in Sun Batian's abdomen.
