Chapter 55: The Great Tribulation Comes

At this time, in the front hall, the guests were almost gone, and only a few sporadic guests still did not leave, and they did not see the legendary Xuanwu blood beads, and they seemed to be unwilling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tangjiabao suddenly became deserted, only the big shopkeeper and some servants were left to clean up the mess, a gust of wind blew, and the birthday banquet that was still lively just now looked particularly desolate.

Xia Wen Zhao Lei didn't expect Tang Fu to ignore the guests and leave directly, without taking the guests seriously.

Now the two of them are standing in place, neither walking nor staying, which is very embarrassing.

The three brothers of the Kong family seem to be the same.

These few of them originally wanted to use the Xuanwu blood beads to push Tangjiabao to the forefront, so as to arouse the suspicion of martial arts people about Tangjiabao, but who knew that Tang Fu would not eat this set at all.

The big shopkeeper walked towards Xia Wen and Zhao Lei, looked at the two of them and said, "What's the matter?"

"Hmph, uncle, your food in Tangjiabao really stinks enough, it makes people sick when they smell it!" Xia Wen mocked.

As soon as Xia Wen's words fell, suddenly, a gust of palm wind hit, Xia Wen subconsciously raised his hand to block, but he was still stumbled.

Needless to say, this palm is played by the big treasurer.

"I only used thirty percent of my strength, and those who know each other hurry up and get out of here!" the big shopkeeper shouted.

As soon as Zhao Lei wanted to help, he was stopped by Xia Wen.

Xia Wen covered his chest and gasped heavily, he knew that the big shopkeeper was true.

Glancing at the gate of Tangjiabao, Zhao Lei helped Xia Wen out.

Seeing this, the three brothers of the Kong family snorted coldly and left.

At this time, the second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper came over, and the third shopkeeper said, "Big brother, you drove them away?"

"This kind of bastard, if you don't kill him, it's already considered forgiveness!" said the big treasurer.

The second shopkeeper said: "Fortunately, the eldest brother didn't kill them, otherwise how would we explain to the castle master?"

"What's the matter?" asked the lord of the castle to follow you, and there was someone behind these two people?" asked the treasurer.

"Otherwise, they can be so arrogant with their three-legged cat kung fu?" said the second shopkeeper.

"Second brother, let's go, don't let the two of them go far!" As he spoke, the soles of their feet were full of flowers, and they chased them out in the blink of an eye.

Xia Wen Zhao Lei went out of Tangjiabao and went all the way to the south, without stopping for a while, and came to the foot of Nanshan after about half an hour.

Not far away, the second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper quietly watched the backs of the two.

The second shopkeeper said: "These two people don't go to the tavern, they don't go back to the inn, but they avoid the market town and come to the ghost place of Nanshan, there is really some conspiracy!"

"Yes! This Nanshan forest is deep and dense, and it is extremely secretive, if it weren't for some unspeakable secrets, ordinary people wouldn't come here! Second brother, look, they've stopped!" said the third shopkeeper.

I saw that the two stopped in front of a forest, looked around and saw no one, the two walked to a big tree, Zhao Lei jumped up, took off a white cloth hanging on the tree, the two looked at it for a moment, obviously, what was written on the cloth, but the distance was too far away The two shopkeepers couldn't see it clearly.

But they knew that this was their point of contact.

After Xia Wen Zhao Lei looked at the cloth, his steps gradually became faster, and he seemed to know the two shopkeepers behind him.

The two shopkeepers never expected that although this Xia Wen Zhao Lei was not very good at martial arts, he was really good at light body kung fu, and the two of them did not dare to be careless at all when they tracked him, for fear of losing it.

I saw the two of them fast and slow, running all the way, and soon came to the depths of the forest, the two shopkeepers continued to follow, and did not dare to get too close, so they could only follow their footsteps, a pair of eyes stared at the two, not stopping for a moment, and their hearts were very irritable.

However, just when the two chased into a bush, suddenly, Xia Wen and Zhao Lei disappeared.

The second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly rushed out. However, when I looked around, I still didn't see Xia Wen and Zhao Lei.

The two of them felt bad, looked around, and found that they had actually come to a forbidden place in the depths of Nanshan and returned to the forest.

The people of Shu have heard a saying: Nanshan is lost in the forest, and it is difficult for old horses to know the way. If it weren't for the mountain rangers, it would be difficult to get out for three days.

"No, we've been tricked!" said the third shopkeeper.

"His grandmother's, two little rabbit cubs, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu!" the second shopkeeper roared loudly, breaking a big tree with the thickness of a bowl with one palm.

However, in the huge lost forest, except for the chirping of birds and birds, there was no response.

At this time, on a small dirt slope not far from them, three figures were watching the two of them from a distance.

At the head was a tall and thin man, his old face was particularly eye-catching, his thin and thin fingers were long and thin, his back was behind him, and his eyes were like falcons staring at the two shopkeepers in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Behind him, two familiar figures stood quietly, it was Xia Wen Zhao Lei, who had just disappeared. Needless to say, this person is the thin guy who is one of the fat and thin two elders in Qingcheng.

"Fools, you two don't even know you're being followed!" the thin guy scolded.

"What the elders have taught is that the disciples know that they are wrong. Xia Wen said.

"Thanks to the elder's resourcefulness and the reminder of the cloth, the disciples have thanked you!" Zhao Lei said.

"Hehe! Forget it, it's okay in this way, Tang Lao and Tang Lao San were trapped and returned to the forest, and they couldn't get out in a few days, so we quickly notified the head and took the opportunity to destroy Tang Jiabao in one fell swoop!" said the thin guy with a smile.

"But Elder, aren't we also in the Lost Forest?" Zhao Lei asked.

"I have already left marks along the way, you follow me, let's go!" said the three of them, trotting all the way out of the forest.

In the town about five or six miles away from Tangjiabao, there is a tavern called: Shu Digen. It is very famous, it is the only tavern in the town that is not managed by Tangjiabao, because this is an official tavern, it has a history of nearly decades, the owner of this shop is a big official of the previous dynasty, he is honest, he is popular, and all factions in Shu have friendships, according to legend, whenever there is a conflict between the factions, the shopkeeper will be invited to come out to preside over the affairs, but after the Ming Dynasty opened the war, nowhere to be found, each faction in order to protect it and its descendants, even the name was not left, just told the descendants, no matter when, never hit the idea of this shop, now this shop is still presided over by the government, the shopkeeper is also an official person, but it has become a famous shop in Shu。

At this time, three familiar figures were drinking leisurely upstairs, only to hear one of them shouting: "His grandmother's, Tang Fu simply didn't take us seriously, look at his tone, it's just relying on the foundation of his ancestors!"

"Don't be angry, third child, he Tangjiabao won't be proud for a few days, one day we will make him look good!"

"That's right, just by his words, Tang Fu wants to clean up the matter of the Xuanwu Blood Bead?

"Even if he can wipe it clean, I won't let him clean it, hehehe!"

"Oh! Could it be that the eldest brother has already made arrangements?"

It turned out that these three people were the three brothers of the Kong family who had just come out of Tangjiabao, and they were full of dissatisfaction and resentment.

At this time, in the tea shed downstairs, the three figures had also arrived, Tang Ye, Tang Yu, and Tang Can were ordered to follow the Kong family brothers, but none of them dared to rush forward to listen to what they had to say, even if this was still the territory of Tang Jiabao, because the three of them could not be the opponents of the Kong family brothers at all.

So they nested in the tea shed, wondering where the Kong brothers were, and when they knew that the Kong brothers had left the territory of Tangjiabao, they could leave.

This was originally a very simple errand, if the Kong brothers didn't want to make trouble.

It's just that today, they don't seem to be lucky.

The Kong brothers did not leave for a long time, obviously waiting for someone.

Sure enough, only half an hour later, two more people came to the hotel, they were wearing face-covering hats and a black robe, one of them was a little bloated, and the black robe seemed to be difficult to cover his stomach, the two stood outside the door and looked at it, ignoring the three Tang brothers in the tea shed, and walked straight in.

Upstairs, the Kong brothers who had been waiting for a long time were already restless.

Seeing the two of them going upstairs, the three of them immediately became alert, and the conversation immediately stopped.

The two also stopped in front of the staircase, just looking at the Kong brothers quietly, and neither of them spoke.

The Kong brothers are the same, in an instant, several pairs of eyes looked at each other, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward, in the eyes of others, these people must be crazy.

For a long time, there was a lot of tea.

"You're finally here, let's wait!" said Boss Kong bowed his head.

"Hehe! The concentration of the Kong brothers is only like this!" said the black-robed fat man with a smile.

It turns out that just a few people are testing their concentration, people who practice martial arts know that superior martial arts is not a day's work, those with high talents, three or five years to get a small success, one or two decades to have a big success, unless an adventure, it is rare to start at the end, so the taboo of martial arts lies in impetuousness, practice martial arts first to cultivate the mind, the way of cultivating the mind, lies in the quiet, calm the mind, calm the heart to punch in place, the sword out of the steady, the ability to calm the air like a spring, out of the sword has a edge, but it is easy to say, do such as ascending to the sky, how many people in the world can calm down and calm down, not disturbed by the world?

"Hahaha, if you keep competing, when will it be a head! Say, aren't the two of you writing to me here to do business?"

"Of course it's serious, but I don't know if the three of you dare to work with us!" the black-robed fat man continued.

"Who are you, why do we want to work with you?" asked Kong Laoer.

"You don't know us, we know you, the three brothers of the Confucian family, the people of Sichuan and Shu, the eldest Kong Shan, the second Kong Chuan, the third Kong Yue, the temperament is strange, the three are often bullied in their childhood, and then they are taught martial arts by an old Taoist in Yunding Mountain, with a pair ......of black sand palms across Sichuan and Shu, because they offended the government, and then fell into the grass in Yunding Mountain, since then Heng dominates the party, and Emei, Tangmen, Qingcheng and other major sects are equally famous, but because they do not talk about morality, only talk about interests, they are despised by people in the rivers and lakes."

"Enough is enough! People in the rivers and lakes, few people are clean, you are in the rivers and lakes, you can't help it, compared to your sanctimoniousness, we are frank and open!" said Boss Kong.

"Big brother, do you know who they are?" asked Kong Laosan.

"Of course I know, although you didn't sign the letter, but I guessed that the two of you must be from Qingcheng Mountain, right?"

"Ahh

"Good eyesight!" said the fat man in the black robe and took off his hat casually, and with a "bang" he stapled the hat to the pillar.

The three brothers of the Kong family were all shocked, knowing that this person must be a master of hidden weapons. Goodbye to this person, his face was already old, but his breathing was steady, full of energy, although he was a little bloated, he did not feel the slightest inflexibility.

"Qingcheng faction, the fat guy has seen everyone!"

"It turned out to be the fat and thin second elder, so this person must be a thin guy!" said Boss Kong.

"Definitely!" said the man, taking off his hat. When I looked up, it was the head of the sect.

All three were taken aback. "Ahh

"Since it's a big deal, of course you have to be sincere!" Duan Shuiliu said.

"I wonder what this big deal is?" asked Boss Kong.

Duan Shuiliu leaned over and whispered a few words, and Boss Kong looked surprised.

"I just received the news that the second shopkeeper and the third shopkeeper of Tangjiabao were trapped and returned to the forest, tonight is the best opportunity, what do you know?"

"It's just that our people and horses are all in Genting Mountain, and I'm afraid that the people around us will not have enough spare strength!" said Boss Kong.

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the people, I've already arranged it in place, I just ask the three to help me, of course, the benefits are naturally indispensable after the matter is completed!"

Boss Kong didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

"Hehe, don't worry about it, if you don't do it, they will do it sooner or later, it's better to start first, if you don't believe it, you can take a look at the tea shed downstairs, is there someone waiting for the three?"

After speaking, Kong Lao Er immediately looked at the window and said, "Big brother, they are Tang Fu's three disciples!"

"Hahaha! I won't say much nonsense, if you are willing to work together, I will wait for you in Tangjiabao tonight!" After speaking, the two put on their hats and walked out.

Downstairs, the fat guy asked Duan Shuiliu, "Will they come?"

"If they come tonight, I will be eighty percent sure, otherwise, there is only fifty percent hope, even if they don't come, we will fight!" said Duan Shuiliu clenched his fists.

The two glanced at the three people in the tea shed again, but they still ignored them and walked away.

Seeing the two of them walking, Kong Lao Er asked: "Big brother, you can't believe the words of the Qingcheng faction, this must be a conspiracy!"

Kong Laosan also said: "However, if it is really as they say, tonight is indeed an opportunity to get rid of Tangjiabao!"

"I don't think we can take any chances! Kong Lao Er said.

"Big brother, what do you think?" Kong Laosan asked.

Boss Kong didn't speak, lowered his head, frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "Whether it's a conspiracy or not, let's go, since they want to fight, how can they not have us?"

"Big brother, you have to think twice!" said Kong Laoer.

"Alright, second brother, don't say any more, I've already decided, the three of us will go tonight!" said Boss Kong.

"Big brother, only the three of us are afraid to ......," Kong Laosan said.

"There are many inconvenient people, with the three of us, even if there is danger, it is still easy to get out, this is dangerous, not reckless, we change our clothes, hide in the market, first observe in the dark, wait until they are inextricably beaten and then sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman!

Hearing that Kong Lao Da spoke, Kong Lao Er and Kong Lao San had no objections.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Boss Kong jump, then he jumped out of the window, flew straight downstairs to the tea shed, and shouted loudly: "Three pups, what are the intentions of following us all the way?" Immediately after, Kong Lao Er and Kong Lao San also followed.

Tang Can, Tang Ye, and Tang Yu were unprepared, they were all shocked, and hurriedly jumped out of the tea shed.

"Sure enough, it's the three of you!" said Boss Kong.

"Master Kong, we are not offended, why should you be angry?" Tang Can hurriedly said, wanting to stabilize Boss Kong. At the same time, Tang Ye and Tang Yu behind him had already held the sword and was ready to make a move at any time.

"No offense, you dare to follow us, don't you dare to admit it?" Kong Lao Er roared.

"No, no, no, coincidence, just a coincidence!" Tang Can said with a smile.

"I heard that in addition to your Tang Jiabao's poisonous skills, you are also good at internal swordsmanship, so let's make a move!" Boss Kong said.

"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare we juniors fight you? Today's incident is a pure misunderstanding, can't you still hurt people at every turn like before, you see everyone is watching!" Tang Can pointed to the onlookers, he knew that the Kong brothers who were born as thieves had always wanted to clear their hands, so as to be on an equal footing with the decentness of the rivers and lakes, so he deliberately said this.

"Do you dare to teach us a lesson?" Kong Lao Er shouted, and was about to step forward to make a move, but was stopped by Kong Lao Dou.

Boss Kong said: "That's right, our Kong brothers value the morality of the rivers and lakes the most, today's matter, whether you are sincere or coincidental, you make amends, we will let you go!"

"Why should we make amends?" Tang Ye roared, Tang Can raised his hand and said, "Hey... Since Master Kong thinks that our juniors are wrong, what can we do if we make amends? Tang Can is offended, I hope you will forgive me!"

"Hahahaha! Very good, what about you?" said Boss Kong.

Seeing this, although Tang Ye and Tang Yu were angry, they still gave up and made amends.

Boss Kong laughed and said, "Hahaha, since they are so obedient, then let's go back to Yunding Mountain!"

"Senior brother, I'm really angry!" Tang Ye said.

"Yes, I'm also angry!" Tang Yu also said.

"So what? Can the three of us beat them? These three people have returned to Genting Mountain, they shouldn't be the murderers who captured the junior sister!" Tang Can said, and the three of them also turned around and left.

However, on the other side, I saw the Kong brothers take a few steps, suddenly stopped, and only heard Boss Kong say: "Second and third, with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to handle the three of them!"

"Big brother, what do you mean by that?" asked Kong Laoer.

"I want you to intercept and kill the three of you in the middle of the road, since you have decided to go tonight, it is better to prepare early!" said Boss Kong.

"Understood!" said the two.

"Well, go ahead, remember, clean, don't make a show, ruin our reputation! Boss Kong said, after speaking, Kong Chuan and Kong Yue followed the three members of the Tang family.

Soon, everything was calm again, the town was still as lively, the tea shed was still the original tea shed, and I saw a carrier pigeon flying over the tea shed, crossing a white strip in the sky, and flying higher.

In front of the Shudigan Tavern, a shopkeeper looked up at the carrier pigeon, but turned back to the store, showing that the pigeon had been released by him.

"Have the pigeons been released?" asked the shopkeeper in front of the ledger.

"Yes, let it go!" replied the shopkeeper.

"Well, you go get busy!" said the shopkeeper with a wave of his hand, and continued to bow his head and write something.

"By the way, shopkeeper, what do you think of the skills of those people who just came?" asked the shopkeeper.

"They are all famous figures in Shu, even in the Central Plains, they are considered first-class masters!"

"So which faction does our store belong to?"

"None of us belong, if we really want to belong to anything, then we can only belong to the court!"

"But aren't we in the rivers and lakes, how can we belong to the imperial court?"

"Yes, the imperial court used to care about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but now it is different, no one can escape the ......" After speaking, the shopkeeper looked up and looked at the sky outside the door and slowly became distracted......
