Chapter 258: Busking
Since they couldn't check the Li family's old house, Liu Ximing and the others drank tea in the teahouse for a while, listening to the other tea guests outside the house for a while.
However, these people seem to be just small people in the market, and they are all gossip news on the market, Liu Ximing and his party soon lost interest, and Xie Wenle directly proposed to go shopping in the city.
In this era, Chengdu has high buildings, many temples and roads, and there are many good places like Jiuyan Bridge.
Although most of the wooden buildings look a little old, they are still a little attractive to Liu Ximing, who is half a country man from Shunqing Province.
However, Dou Yuquan walked around for a while but sighed for no reason: "Chengdu is not as good as it used to be now, I remember that a few years ago, the streets here were full of merchants and pedestrians, but now there are more beggars and gangsters. ”
"It will only get worse and worse in the future, Sichuan is a lonely corner, and now the neighboring Shaanxi and Huguang are beginning to be in chaos, where do the merchants dare to come."
Liu Ximing answered casually, but then his heart moved, this seemed to be an opportunity.
Although there are only about 2,000 people in the Longxiang battalion now, it will definitely expand in a big way in the foreseeable future, and when other people's goods cannot be delivered, they can be armed and escorted, isn't this a great opportunity to occupy the market?
"Fellow villagers, let's take a look, in Xia Wang Hong, and a few brothers in your land, I have practiced martial arts since childhood, and now we are desperate, we can only survive here, please give a ...... to my fathers and fellow villagers."
As soon as the group walked near the Daci Temple, they were attracted by a loud shout.
Following the sound, it turned out to be three middle-aged men in thin clothes and two and a half years old with two and a half teenagers setting up a stall in the open space near the temple.
Hearing that he claimed to be extraordinary in martial arts, Liu Ximing suddenly became interested.
After being in the Meng Dynasty for so long, of course he knew that most of the martial arts were nonsense, but judging from the previous battles, the martial arts in these years were not all fancy, and the battle was still somewhat useful.
After the man named Wang Hong finished speaking, he saw that dozens of people had gathered in the crowd, and he took down a spear from the shelf on the side with some excitement.
The other brother who was with him drew a long knife, and the two of them didn't talk much nonsense, and they began to compare directly with each other, and one of them pressed the formation next to him.
Liu Ximing saw it clearly, the arms of these two people holding weapons were thick and powerful, and the posture of the move was also constantly rumored, there should be two brushes.
"Did you get on the beaten word?"
Liu Ximing turned his head to look at Li Biao and said with a smile.
Li Biao rubbed his face a little embarrassed, and finally admitted with a red face: "It shouldn't be beaten, except for shooting and physical training, this kind of one-on-one move training is relatively rare, and we have all figured it out ourselves, and it can't be compared with a practitioner like them." ”
After saying this, Li Biao seemed to feel a little discouraged by himself, and immediately added: "But if we are asked to take the muskets, it will be useless for them to come with dozens of more like this." ”
"Nonsense", Liu Ximing kicked Li Biao with laughter, "If you can't do it with a musket, then the damn will hang your neck directly." ”
Although Li Biao's words were a joke, Liu Ximing discovered the obvious shortcomings of the Long Xiang battalion at this time, and his ability to fight alone was too weak.
This weakness may still be covered up due to firepower in the process of large corps operations, but once it falls into a small-scale battle, this disadvantage may cause the Longxiang battalion to fall into a catastrophe.
Staring at the three people fighting in the field, Liu Ximing fell into deep thought.
"Open, open"
Wang Hong and the other three became more and more courageous, and the scene became more and more spectacular, and a group of men, women and children who were shocked by the onlookers kept cheering and cheering.
Who knew that just when everyone was the happiest to watch, several arrogant voices came from outside the crowd, and seven or eight men in short shirts pushed away the crowd of onlookers and squeezed in from the outside.
"Where did you come from, have you asked us about the Donghe Gang when you set up a stall here?"
As soon as these men in short shirts came in, they shouted at Wang Hong and the others in an arrogant manner, completely ignoring the onlookers around them.
"This little brother, I'm just here, I don't know the rules here, and I ask Haihan to ......"
"Haihan, Haihan is a hammer, it's all like you, our brothers are still not messing around here, take your things and get out quickly, I'll see you once you go back."
The goldfish-eyed man kicked Wang Hong and the gong they had fallen to the ground away, and after speaking, he led several other people to step forward and grab the things in the hands of Wang Hong and the others.
"Get out of my way", and Wang Hong fought the man with anger on his face, and saw that the goldfish eye wanted to snatch the long knife in his hand, and pushed him back with a backward turn.
"Zhao Ye, stop", Wang Hong shouted anxiously when he saw this situation.
The goldfish eye was defenseless that Zhao Ye would resist, and he was forced to take a few steps back with his crutches, and squatted on the ground with one butt.
"Bastard, it's the other way around, brothers, give it to me, if I don't clean them up today, Lao Tzu won't be surnamed Ma."
Goldfish Eyes stood up one by one, his face full of annoyance and anger after being knocked out, and the few people who followed him were even more clamoring to come forward to fight.
A mixture of annoyance and embarrassment appeared on Wang Hong's face, of course he wanted to slap Zhao Ye back, but after all, this is someone's territory, what if he turns around and causes more trouble.
Seeing Wang Hong looking at the crowd of onlookers around him with a pleading look, and the people he saw avoided their eyes one after another, Liu Ximing finally couldn't stand still.
He remembered what happened to him and Li Biao when they encountered the Black Tiger Gang in Shunqing Mansion City, they were all the same weak, helpless, and pitiful.
"Stop"
It's not a year ago now, Liu Ximing thought of it, and immediately shouted violently, which scared Goldfish Eye and his accomplices.
"Where did ...... come from?"
The goldfish turned around and wanted to scold, and when he saw Liu Ximing dressed as a scholar, followed by Li Biao and other twenty strong young men, he was so frightened that he swallowed his words back.
"This lord, I don't know which noble family it is, but the little one didn't offend you."
This goldfish eye has some eyesight, and when he saw that the situation was not good, his face changed suddenly, and now he is like two people from the appearance of the previous command.
Liu Ximing was amused in his heart, and at the same time felt sad for this kind of person, the person who was weaker than himself was cruel and tyrannical, and the stronger than himself shook his head and tail, it was really a cheap word with a capital letter.
"What kind of dog are you, you dare to inquire about the master, get out immediately, otherwise I will give you a pair of crutches."
For this kind of person, Liu Ximing is now familiar with the road, as long as you are more horizontal than him, they only dare to clamp their tails and be people.
As for whether the Donghe Gang will retaliate, not to mention that they have brought so many guards, it is their current identity as a student who is taking the exam that can make them helpless.
Blatantly assaulting students during the college exam?
I'm afraid I don't want to eat the iron fist of feudal society.
Sure enough, the goldfish suddenly became a little cringe when he saw Liu Ximing's arrogant posture.
He turned his head to look at Wang Hong, turned around and left without saying a word.
As for the cruel words in the movie, of course, these episodes can't be there, what if it's really a nobleman.
"Thank you Gongzi for saving me", Wang Hong pounced and knelt down with a few other men, and gave Liu Ximing a big salute.
Liu Ximing tried hard to maintain his personality, and hummed lightly, "Get up." ”
"You don't have a local accent, where did you come from?"
Wang Hong cautiously bowed down and replied: "If you go back to Gongzi, the little ones have fled from Shaanxi. ”
"Oh?" , Liu Ximing suddenly became interested, he took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to Wang Hong.
"Don't be a showman, tell me about Shaanxi."
"Big brother", Zhao Ye and the others saw the silver ingots thrown by Liu Ximing, and their eyes lit up, and they all squeezed their eyebrows at Wang Hong and signaled him to agree.
Wang Hong hesitated slightly, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of the hot silver in his hand.
He arched his hand to the crowd around him: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your support, let's leave the show today." ”
Cut, the crowd of onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, and one by two threw up their sleeves and left with some dissatisfaction.
