Chapter 32: Original Sin 2

Seeing that everyone was looking at him together, Bald Pen Weng had to laugh dryly twice, and finally said, "Lord Zuo has good eyesight. The old man had just glanced at www.biquge.info his sleeves twice, and soon hid his hands behind his back. Originally, I thought it would be best to pretend not to know, and to fool the past. But now that Lord Zuo has discovered the clue, if the old man blindly denies it, he will be laughed at by his friends on the rivers and lakes. In this competition, the old man admits defeat. As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand above his head. Everyone looked at it, and there was a tear about two inches long in the sleeve of his right hand, which was blown open by the cold wind in mid-air, and it became more and more obvious. It turned out that while the bald pen left ink on Shangguan Hongyang's clothes, Shangguan Hongyang's backhand sword also cut the sleeve of Bald Pen's right hand. On closer inspection, it is much less difficult to leave ink on the opponent's body than to cut the opponent's clothes, and the deterrent effect is much less. If no one finds out, of course, the bald pen man can excuse himself, but once it is pointed out, it will be meaningless to defend the victory and defeat again. Bald Pen Weng has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and as his status has become more and more respected, his grandmaster demeanor has also begun to appear faintly, no matter what, this bit of bearing is still there. In addition, his eldest apprentice Yuan Biaoshu had repeatedly emphasized that if he failed in the competition, he had to withdraw as soon as possible, so Bald Bi Weng did not dare to delay any longer, and after raising his hand to admit defeat, he quickly ordered the Southern Department of the Sun Moon God Sect to evacuate as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

When the Southern Department of the Sun Moon God Sect was fighting a duel with Zuo Han and Shangguan Hongyang, Fukuda Kiyoshi and Komatsu Taro were leading the remnants of the defeated generals of the Sea Gang's Toyo Headquarters to watch at the foot of Tianma Mountain to prevent the Sea Gang Songjiang Headquarters from suddenly attacking and attacking it back and forth. Knowing that the Southern Department of the Sun Moon God Sect had lost this martial fight, Kiyoshi Fukuda and Komatsu Taro were both taken aback. Of course, they didn't dare to stay here alone, but fled after the Southern Brigade of the Sun and Moon God Sect. The coalition forces were thousands of men and horses and were evacuated in an instant, leaving behind a large number of corpses, weapons, food scraps, and mess.

Seeing that the coalition forces had indeed withdrawn, Koizumi Nobushige was very happy, and he and his wife Dong Mingzhu personally walked down the mountain and invited Shangguan Hongyang, Zuo Han, Kang Qing and others to go up the mountain for a small gathering. After all, Kang Qing is an official of the imperial court, and it is not suitable to make friends with the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and he will never dare to drink at the same table with the pirate leader Koizumi Nobushige. After resolutely refusing to do so, he led his men to clean up the battlefield and was busy collecting all kinds of booty. As for Zhong Baixian, the owner of Haiyun Village, Pei Liang, a member of Qingfeng Town, and Qin Hanming, the owner of Conch Fort in Luoshi Bay, some of them were also inconvenient for pirates to make friends, and some of them were because they had been out for a long time and were like arrows, so they all refused one after another. Although Koizumi Nobushige was a little embarrassed, considering that these people were kind to him after all, he had to say with a smile, "Since you all have important things to do, then the old man will not blindly force him to stay." Prepare some gold, silver and jade to express your gratitude, if you don't dislike it, it's good to give it to your subordinates. As soon as Nobushige Koizumi finished speaking, several servants came forward with several large pots of gold and silver treasures. When the leaders saw that Nobushige Koizumi said this, they were in a difficult position, and they couldn't refuse this windfall for their subordinates, right? After hesitating for a moment, they all smiled happily. Koizumi Nobushige and his wife kept sending Kang Qing, Zhong Baixian, Pei Liang, Qin Hanming and others three miles away before waving goodbye to them.

Here, the Koizumi Qianjia sisters have led Shangguan Hongyang, Zuo Han, Zhang Tianquan and others to a grass shed on the mountain. Fruits and vegetables, pork, beef and mutton, water and wine, etc., were prepared in turn, brought to the table, and invited them to sit down and enjoy them. Shangguan Hongyang and the others refused to do so, and waited until Koizumi Nobushige and his wife turned back before the three of them sat down at the invitation of Koizumi Nobushige. After Koizumi Nobushige and his wife entered the table, they thanked them first, and then repeatedly persuaded them to drink, asking Shangguan Hongyang and others to refuse. However, the three of them all drank an astonishing amount of alcohol, and after drinking for a long time, they were slightly drunk.

Koizumi Nobushige suddenly said at this time, "In this war, the headquarters of the Sea Gang Matsue suffered a great blow, and hundreds of people died tragically on the battlefield. The old man is really ashamed to be in charge. Shangguan Hongyang woke up from his drunken haze and hurriedly explained, "Why should the big boss be like this? Gang duels, deaths and injuries are inevitable. What's more, in this conflict with the headquarters of the Sea Gang, you have the overall upper hand, which can be called a classic. The big boss doesn't have to be too humble. Koizumi Nobushige shook his hand and said, "This kind of comfort, Shangguan Gongzi doesn't need to say it anymore." This time I was able to win by luck, thanks to the clever calculations of Shangguan Gongzi and Lord Zuo and the help of the starry night, if it weren't for your help, the headquarters of the Sea Gang Songjiang would have suffered a big defeat and the trees would have fallen and scattered. The old man learned from the pain, he didn't dare to expect such good luck every time in the future, and he didn't want these people under him to follow me for most of their lives, but they couldn't get a good end. So I want to ask Shangguan Gongzi for a favor, I wonder if you can agree?"

Shangguan Hongyang hurriedly said, "If the big boss has orders, the juniors will do it." After hearing this, Koizumi Nobushige hurriedly said, "That's very good." With Shangguan Gongzi in charge, I am not afraid that the Haishan Gang Songjiang Headquarters will not be able to gain a foothold. Shangguan Gongzi is chivalrous and brave, and he is really the lucky star for those of us......"

"Wait," Shangguan Hongyang hurriedly interrupted Koizumi Nobushige, "What do you mean by what the big boss said?" ”

Koizumi Nobushige opened his mouth and smiled, "Shangguan Gongzi doesn't need to panic. The old man has no malicious intentions, he just hopes that you can be the big leader of the Songjiang headquarters of the Sea Gang, and lead them to get back on the right path. ”
