Chapter 8: The Enemy of Fate

"His grandmother's, dog Tartar is the same as a beautiful woman, and he doesn't have many good things!" Liu Haozi patted the table, foaming at the mouth and said to the people at the same table and the neighboring tables: "My ancestors are not poor, and there are still hundreds of acres of fertile land, but now it has become like this, and all his grandmothers are Tartars and beautiful women!" If it weren't for them, would I, Liu Haozi, be reduced to being a water bandit in Luoma Lake? But I have to thank them, Lao Tzu is the owner of Luoma Lake today, which is much happier than being a landlord in Shandong! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, the lake lord has a point." Although they were about to be cocooned by Liu Haozi's naggingβ€”because their boss had to say this every time they were drunk, the twenty or so Llama Lake bandits still tried to make a sound of listening and nodded yes. And Liu Haozi completely ignored the painful eyes of his subordinates and the suspicious, curious, and disdainful eyes of the neighboring table, and just boasted about his heroic deeds complacently, "Before Lao Tzu was seven years old, the family was quite passable, well-fed and warmly dressed, that year my mother was sick, and my father had no conscience. To be honest, my stepmother is indeed a beauty, but the more beautiful a woman is, the more poisonous her heart is, and being scolded for being hungry is just commonplace, and she often beats me all over my body. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Haozi grabbed the wine pot and poured it into a big sip, squinted his drunken eyes, and smiled at the chivalrous guests sitting in the restaurant, regardless of whether these people were listening to him or not, and said without any scruples: "Later, Lao Tzu gradually grew up, and he had strength and martial arts, so Lao Tzu's stepmother didn't dare to continue to beat me." But when he was eleven years old, Wu Sangui's old turtle led the Tartars into the customs, and the Tartar army went to Shandong, killing people and setting fire everywhere, ** woman, my stepmother was afraid that the Tartar army would hit my house, so she encouraged Lao Tzu to run south with his family property. For this matter, Lao Tzu had a big quarrel with the stepmother of the dog day, beat her again, robbed the family of a bag of gold and silver and threw it to the black seventh uncle, and my stepmother and Lao Tzu of the dog day went south with the rest of the family property and never met again. ”

"Five years! Five years! Lao Tzu followed Uncle Hei Qi and fought with the Tartars for five years! Liu Haozi was drunk, shook his head and said: "In those five years, Lao Tzu personally cut seventy-three Manchu Tartars, and hundreds of traitors!" Later, Uncle Hei Qi's calf was broken by the Tartars, and Uncle Hei Qi also died in the hands of the Tartars, only Lao Tzu ran out with more than 20 people, fled south to Jiangsu, and cut the original Luoma Lake owner with a knife, and became the lake master himself, taking the brothers in the lake to rob the house, robbing the rich and helping the poor, although Lao Tzu is not a good thing, but Lao Tzu never bullies women, nor does he kill the Han people indiscriminately - but Lao Tzu hates Tartars and traitors! This time I came to Hejian to work with the heroes of the world to cut Wu Sangui's dog traitor with a thousand knives! ”

"Lake Lord, you're drunk, don't talk about it." Seeing that his speech was becoming more and more unsound, the water bandit brought by Liu Haozi couldn't help but remind: "Lake Master, this is not in our Luoma Lake, talking nonsense will cause trouble." Several people in the rivers and lakes who heard Liu Haozi's boasting next to him also kindly persuaded: "This hero, we understand your hatred of Tartar, you are indeed a hero, but this place is mixed, don't harm yourself." ”

"What am Lao Tzu afraid of?" Liu Haozi was just about to get drunk, so he could still listen to the kind persuasion of others. When he was about to continue scolding, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen, so he got up and shouted to the bandits who came with him: "You rabbit cubs drink first, Lao Tzu will put some water, and when I come back, I will tell you the story of Lao Tzu's robbery of the Tartar grain cart." Saying that, Liu Haozi didn't care about the sad expressions of his subordinates because they were going to be wordy again, and got up and went to the toilet behind the restaurant. But what he didn't notice was that in the corner of the restaurant, a pair of treacherous eyes and a pair of delicate big eyes were already staring at him......

"That's it, it's the most suitable." Wu Yuanming, who was disguised as an old man, leaned into Zheng Xin's ear and whispered, "See?" I just said that we must be able to find this kind of rude and reckless people in the restaurant, and it is very suitable to use such a person as a thug for us. ”

"Bah, vile and filthy thief." Zheng Xin kicked Wu Yuanming under the table and said softly: "Then you won't catch up and reveal the news to him?" Wu Yuanming smiled, got up and chased after him, and Zheng Xin also followed.

"Whew." Liu Haozi hummed a self-made tune, opened his crotch and put water on the baffle of the latrine, and when he was relaxing, a low man's voice suddenly came from the courtyard outside the latrine, "Miss Yubao, where Wu Sangui's lackeys are, the villain has found out." Hearing Wu Sangui's name, Liu Haozi's humming immediately stopped, and he pricked up his ears to listen.

Wu Sangui's big traitor really knew about this turtle killing conference and sent a lackey to find out the details. Hmph, our heaven and earth will definitely let them have no return! A crisp girl's voice snorted, "How many lackeys did Wu Sangui send?" Where are you now? Who are they? ”

"More than a dozen lackeys came, all of them disguised as heroes from all walks of life who participated in the turtle killing conference." The man replied in a low but clear voice: "They are now drinking in the Hexing Building on West Street, discussing the plan to sabotage this turtle killing conference, and they are guarding it very tightly, and the villain can't get in and can't find out the details." I only know that they are led by an ugly man with only one left arm, who is called a strong donkey, and a little white face, who is named Cao Yin. The lackeys of these big traitors are very cunning, they not only disguise themselves as our fellow gangsters, but also carry forged official documents, ready to pretend to be members of the Tartar court at any time to prevent the government from checking them. ”

"Wu Sangui's old dog is treacherous and abnormal, and his subordinates are also a raccoon dog." The girl's voice snorted coldly. The man asked again, "Miss, what should we do now?" Originally, it was an extremely beautiful thing to find out Wu Sangui's lackeys before this turtle killing conference, but our brigade has not yet arrived, so we rely on the two of us, and I am afraid that we will not be able to help those lackeys. ”

"Continue to keep an eye on them, see where they stay, our brigade will come to Hejian Mansion early tomorrow morning, and settle accounts with them tomorrow." The girl ordered in a low voice: "Also, don't show the news, our heaven and earth will capture these Wu Sangui lackeys alive and execute them in public at the turtle killing conference!" Don't let anyone else take the credit! ”

"Yes, the little one understands that such a beautiful thing must not be preempted by others!" The man said in a low voice: "That villain has gone to the Hexing Restaurant on West Street, Miss take care." With that, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded in the courtyard, and then the sound of the maiden gradually leaving. It wasn't until their footsteps completely disappeared that Liu Haozi poked his head out of the latrine, and the pockmarks on his face shone straight out, and said with a wicked smile: "Such a beautiful thing, you don't have to bother with the Heaven and Earth Society, I, Liu Haozi, will help you out of the limelight." After muttering, Liu Haozi hurriedly tied his pants and rushed back to the restaurant.

Rushing up to the restaurant on the floor, Liu Haozi rushed to the Luoma Lake bandit gang he brought, tore his throat and shouted: "Don't eat it, the guy, work with Lao Tzu!" The bandits stopped eating and drinking and asked, "Boss, what's going on?" What are you going to do? Liu Haozi laughed and said: "Don't ask, when the time comes, you will know that the time has come for our Luoma Lake Water Gang to become famous all over the world!" ”

"Boss, what are we going to do?" A water bandit timidly asked: "This is no better than Llama Lake, we can't just mess around!" ”

"Dog thing that doesn't have the guts." Liu Haozi was drunk, slapped the water bandit in the face, and roared angrily: "Less nonsense, go quickly!" If you let those Wu Sangui lackeys who came to hear the news of the turtle killing conference run away, Lao Tzu will strip you of your ...... Skin. When he said this, Liu Haozi suddenly found that he was speechless, and hurriedly covered his mouth, but the high-rollers in the restaurant had already heard the words 'Wu Sangui's lackey', and they scrambled to stand up and exclaimed: "The big traitor Wu Sangui's lackey? Over there? ”

"Damn, you idiots!" Seeing that the opportunity to become famous in the world was about to fly, Liu Haozi was so angry that he slapped the water bandit who lured him into telling the truth, and said angrily: "guy, go away!" Seeing that Liu Haozi was urging him tightly, those water bandits didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly picked up their swords and followed Liu Haozi to Hexinglou on West Street and hurried. Seeing that Liu Haozi and the others were so anxious, the other high-rollers also followed out with the intention of looking at the situation, and the number of people reached 100.

"Quick, quick! Faster! Under the nervous urging of Liu Haozi, more than 20 Luoma Lake bandits hurriedly walked with knives, frightening passers-by to retreat, and it only took most of the incense time to rush to Hexing Building on West Street. Liu Haozi was the first to rush into the restaurant, and the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to eat or drink?" ”

"Neither!" Liu Haozi asked the shopkeeper with red eyes: "Master asks you, is there a person in your restaurant who only has one left arm?" There he is? ”

As Wu Yuanming expected, as soon as Liu Haozi's voice fell, more than a dozen men in different costumes stood up in the restaurant, and asked with a Chinese face: "What are you looking for him?" Do you know who he is? Do you know him? Liu Haozi squinted his eyes and asked, "Of course Lao Tzu knows who he is, isn't he just called some kind of bullshit and donkey?" That's what Lao Tzu is looking for! ”

"Mom, who is scolding Lao Tzu behind his back!" An equally vulgar scolding came from the entrance of the second floor of Hexing Building, and then, only a donkey with only one left arm jumped out of the restaurant with a steel knife, pointed a knife at Liu Haozi and scolded: "What are you?" What are you doing with your donkey grandfather? ”

"Damn, dog traitor!" Liu Haozi didn't want to think about it, after the donkey defected to the Qing court, he was often scolded as a traitor behind his back, he was extremely sensitive to this title, and he was also slashed at Liu Haozi in anger, and the two steel knives collided with a loud noise, and the sparks burst into chaos, Liu Haozi and the donkey each took a step back, and the power competition was a draw. Liu Haozi's personality is extremely irritable and competitive, and he was even more excited when he encountered this situation, and shouted, "Dog traitor, and two brushes!" In just one sentence, Liu Haozi's steel knife had already made eight cuts, using the fast knife technique that he had been immersed in for many years.

"Dog pockmark, there are two hands!" Since Hu Gongshan was killed by Wu Yuanming's tricks, it was the first time that the donkey had encountered someone who could use such a fast knife, and he was surprised to parry, but although Liu Haozi was short-tempered, his kung fu was not covered, and a steel knife danced seemingly chaotic but was actually very close, but what was more terrifying was his knife speed, and it took him two knives to swing the donkey, and he could swing five knives! In just a moment, the donkey was forced to retreat by him, and was split twice, if it wasn't for the fast dodge, I was afraid that the second time I was slashed, I would have broken my stomach. The Jianghu Qunhao who came with him was dumbfounded, and they all said in their hearts that although this hemp loves to brag and put on music, this martial art is not something that ordinary people can resist.

"Master, help!" When the donkey was slashed three times in a row by Liu Haozi in the blink of an eye, the donkey finally couldn't hold on, and rolled under the table while asking for help, avoiding Liu Haozi's deadly pursuit. But Liu Haozi did not give up, chased after him and split the table in half with a knife, and then waved the knife to force away the donkey and the other companions on the first floor.

Hearing the shouting of the donkey, Wu Yuanming, who was following the crowd to see the situation at the end, changed his face greatly - the most worrying thing was finally verified, Wu Yuanming blurted out and whispered: "I understand!" Sure enough, it was her! The person who framed me in Licheng County that day was also her! Zheng Xin next to him hurriedly asked in a low voice, "You understand?" Got what? Who is she? Before Zheng Xin's voice fell, there was already a coquettish drink in the restaurant, "Hugh hurt me in vain!" Hearing this familiar shout, Wu Yuanming hurriedly lowered his body so as not to be seen by the old enemy.

Sure enough, in the midst of the cheers, a cyan figure shot down from the second floor of Hexing Building, the sword light was like electricity, catching Liu Haozi's fast knife, and the steel sword and sword crashed out of countless sparks in mid-air, hitting dozens of bottoms like iron before they separated, and each stood still. It was only at this time that everyone was stunned to find that Qingying was actually a young and beautiful woman, with pink lips and cherry lips, and a vigorous and heroic spirit between her thrush-like eyes, which was the heroine Li Yuliang who had been entangled with Wu Yuanming.

"Stinky thief, is this the woman you are talking about?" After seeing Li Yuliang's appearance clearly, Zheng Xin couldn't help but be shocked and jealous, and secretly grabbed a handful of Wu Yuanming's clothes and asked. Wu Yuanming lowered his body and replied in a low voice: "That's right, it's her!" Because her crush is a loyal lackey of the Tartar Emperor, she has also become a lackey of the Tartars! Speaking of this, Wu Yuanming remembered the situation when Li Yuliang assassinated himself and Hui'er's little girl that day, and couldn't help but say angrily: "This female traitor is vicious, I must kill her!" Wu Yuanming's answer made Zheng Xin breathe a sigh of relief, and blurted out: "I'll help you." ”

"Don't panic yet, let's see." Wu Yuanming replied in a low voice, and then turned his eyes to look at the situation in the restaurant, not noticing that Zheng Xin's little face was already smiling like a flower. At this time, a few more people walked down the Hexing Tower, among them were Kong Sizhen and Cao Yin, who Wu Yuanming was very familiar with, and there was also a handsome scholar in a long cedar green robe, who was naturally Wu Ciyou, who had a common enmity with Wu Yuanming. Seeing the appearance of these people, all the doubts in Wu Yuanming's heart were swept away, and he already understood the conspiracy behind this turtle killing conference - the Qing court must have known the news that this turtle killing conference was about to be held, because the target of this Jianghu conference was his father, so the Qing court not only did not suppress and prohibit, but instead sent people to secretly support and instigate, and borrowed the hands of the Han people to deal with the power of my father and my father's western election officials all over the world, so that the Han people could kill each other again, and the two defeats were injured, and the Qing court took the opportunity to profit from it!

"Ouch, this strong big brother, your martial arts are really amazing, it's really rare to be able to fight on an equal footing with my Yunniang sister." Seeing that Liu Haozi's martial arts were unexpectedly strong - Wu Yuanming didn't expect that he would be able to hit the baby by grabbing a thug at random, Kong Sizhen, who was ** by nature, had the heart to solicit, twisted the waist of the water snake and approached Liu Haozi, first threw a Qiu Bo and said in a flattering voice: "This big brother, I don't know why I am fighting with my donkey brother?" Can you tell my little sister? How about we go upstairs and have a drink while we talk slowly? ”

"Fuck off! Dog vixen! Kong Sizhen's charm is invincible in front of most men, but Liu Hezi, who has been tortured by his foxy stepmother since he was a child, has a counterproductive effect, Liu Hezi scolded and slashed out, and the hairpins, hairpins and other gold and jade jewelry on Kong Sizhen's head flew up in the air along with a large handful of hair, spilling everywhere, so frightened that Kong Sizhen was discolored, and even rolled and crawled to dodge. Over there, Li Yuliang was furious and stabbed with a sword, but Liu Haozi's kung fu was really good, and he opened Li Yuliang's sword with a knife between the lightning and flint, and the water bandits brought by Liu Haozi also rushed up, and fought with the samurai of the Shanpu Battalion who arrived with Kong Sizhen and others. And the high-rollers outside the restaurant didn't know why Liu Haozi's Luomahu gang fought with Li Yuliang and others, and no one stepped forward to intervene, all of them had a wait-and-see attitude.

"Alright, let's go back and rest." Wu Yuanming pulled Zheng Xin and prepared to leave this place. Zheng Xinqi said: "Why are you leaving now?" This Liu Hezi and these Tartars haven't won or lost yet, let's not look at it anymore? ”

"Don't look at it, I just want to bring out these people, and now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to waste time." Wu Yuanming yawned and said with no conscience: "Although Liu Haozi's martial arts are good, he can't win, if these Tartar lackeys can't beat him, they can use the army, and if we stay here, we may be implicated." ”

"Hmph, no conscience! Although this Liu Hezi was used by you, he was beating a Tartar, and we have to help him. Zheng Xin was furious and scolded Wu Yuanming to his face. Wu Yuanming shrugged his shoulders and replied shamelessly: "Help him?" How can it help? There are just two of us, isn't it just to get angry when we come out? ”

"You think of a way, don't you have the most bad ideas?" Zheng Xin kicked the ball to Wu Yuanming's head. Wu Yuanming knew the stubborn temper of this little girl - if she didn't do what she said, she was afraid that she wouldn't want to have a good life in the future, so she had no choice but to use her brain to think about it again, and suddenly, Wu Yuanming grabbed Zheng Xin's little hand and said in a low voice: "Xinxin, prepare to run away." ”

"Ready to run?" Zheng Xin was stunned, and he didn't know what Wu Yuanming was going to do. And Wu Yuanming cleared his throat and shouted sharply: "The emperor has arrivedβ€”β€”! After shouting, Wu Yuanming's body was short, and he pulled Zheng Xin's legs and ran. The donkey and Cao Yin and others in the restaurant were startled by this shout, and several of them, including the donkey, reflexively knelt down on their knees and said in unison: "Slaves welcome the holy driver!" ”

"Tartar! Tartars! Seeing the standard slave actions of the donkey and others, most of them were in a commotion and roared, and many of them simply drew their weapons. However, the most excited person was Liu Haozi, who was fighting viciously, Liu Haozi roared angrily and sped up the speed of the knife, "Dog things, they are really dog tartars!" Brothers, kill all the dog Tartars for me! ”

"Kill!" Not only the Luoma Lake bandits, but also many high-rollers roared angrily, swarming into Hexinglou to join the battlefield - of course, to help the Luoma Lake bandits fight the Tartars. Seeing this scene, Kong Sizhen, Wu Ciyou and others, who had already hid on the second floor, were helpless, and Kong Sizhen had no choice but to instruct the warriors of the Shanpu Battalion who came with them: "Take out the fireworks that gathered the army and light them." ”

"Yes." A samurai pulls out a firework from his bosom and prepares to go to the window to light it for help. But at this moment, a scholar dressed in a long cedar floated out of a private room in Hexing Building, and said in a loud voice: "Wait, you adults must not reveal their identities. ”

"Who are you?" Kong Sizhen glanced at the scholar and saw that he was in his thirties, his appearance was very handsome, but he was very good-looking, and he did not look like a person with martial arts. And among the warriors brought by Kong Sizhen and others, two people rushed out early, one left and one right raised the knife on the scholar's body, the scholar was very courageous, even if the sword was added to the body, there was still no disorder, politely clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a Hubei accent: "My lords, Xiaosheng is a grass people, and his name is insulting and respectful, and he is not enough to worry about." When Xiao Sheng was drinking just now, he overheard the plan of the adults against the Wu Domain, and felt that the plan of the adults was very wonderful, which could not only divert the hostility of the rebels against the court in the rivers and lakes, but also weaken the strength of the Wu Domain, which was really a move for the benefit of the country and the people, and Xiao Sheng admired it very much. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if you admire us, then why stop us from asking for help?" Kong Sizhen was secretly frightened by the words of this handsome scholar, just now when she had a secret conversation with Wu Ciyou and others, she did mention the plan to use the forces of the rivers and lakes to target Wu Sangui, but the conversation was full of code words, only the reckless donkey inadvertently said Wu Sangui's name, I think this scholar analyzed the content of the code words from this point, and the intelligence of his mind can be imagined.

"Because once the army is used, it will inevitably startle the snakes, so that the thieves in the rivers and lakes in Hejian Mansion will be on guard, and it will be a pity that the strategies of all the adults will be wasted." The scholar replied with a smile. Kong Sizhen frowned and said, "But these gangsters are besieging us, if we don't ask for help from the army, won't we be captured?" ”

The scholar smiled slightly, revealing a mouth full of snow-white fine teeth, and said with a little disdain: "What are you afraid of a gang of grass thieves? Ladies and gentlemen, if you are willing to listen to Zhou Peigong's words, ....... ”
