Chapter Ninety-Eight: Xu Chu

"You are Xu Chu?"

Xu Chu asked suspiciously, "Do you know me?" ”

"I've heard your name."

"I'm just a nobody, who have you heard mention of me?" Xu Chu's eyes became sharp.

Xiang Qing didn't know how to answer, Wang Shu was in a hurry to relieve him, Wang Shu smiled and said, "Have you heard of the rivers and lakes know thousands of opportunities?" ”

"I traveled a few years ago, but I heard of it." Xu Chu said: "I heard that the Zhiqianji lineage has always been passed on, and each dynasty can only have one master, and Zhiqianji has a secret that is not passed on, and it is this secret that can make Zhiqianji know all the things in the world." ”

Wang Shu pointed to himself: "I am the contemporary master of Zhiqianji, my last one was the pig master, my name is Wang Shu, our faction claims to know the affairs of the world, of course, including your information." ”

Xu Chu smiled: "I used to think it was just a legend, but I didn't expect that I really knew a thousand opportunities and saw it." ”

The matter is explained like this, believe it or not is Xu Chu's business, and Xu Shu secretly asked Wang Shu if he really knew Xu Chu, Wang Shu also told him with a smile, of course I don't know, but I can't embarrass the lord, right?

Xiang Qing smiled: "I don't know why Brother Zhongkang came here?" ”

"I heard that Aunt Liu was sick, so I came to visit." Xu Chu replied.

The old man also came over and said, "Xiang Gongzi, Zhongkang is my neighbor, and he has always taken good care of us, if it weren't for Zhongkang taking care of the villagers, I'm afraid the villagers would have been forced to death by Ge Dashuai." ”

"Zhongkang, this Xiang Gongzi, I just saw your Aunt Liu, and she has improved, they are all good people."

"Well, in that case, then I thank you here." Xu Chu hugged his fists and thanked everyone.

Xiang Qing also introduced Xu Shu and Wang Shu one by one, and after everyone reported their names, Xu Chu also showed a smile.

This old man's surname is Liu, everyone usually calls him Uncle Liu, Xu Chu is alone, he is strong and hunting for a living, I heard that he also killed a tiger with his bare hands, and his bravery is spread throughout the country.

"Now that everyone knows each other, let's sit down and talk." Uncle Liu said.

Everyone didn't dislike it, they sat on the ground and sat in a circle, Xiang Xu couldn't sit on the ground, standing behind Xiang Qing with a sword, Xiang Qing also specially arranged for Liu Hu to guard outside the door.

"Okay, Xiang Gongzi, you are from other places and don't know the situation in the country, so I'll tell you about it, so as not to cause trouble."

Xiang Qing said: "It's just right, we are also curious about how this Ge Dashuai managed to cover the sky in the country of Chen, if he really poisons the people, we will definitely not stand idly by." ”

Listening to Xiang Qing's words, Xu Chu looked a little surprised, but soon returned to normal.

Uncle Liu said: "When this Ge Dashuai first came to our country, there were only a few hundred people, and the county guard at that time heard that a group of mountain bandits had come, so he sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, but this group of mountain bandits is not simple, their big boss Ge Pi seems to know how to fight a war, thousands of officers and soldiers went into the mountains to encircle and suppress, and they were all defeated by the mountain bandits, and it was a fiasco, and few people came back alive. ”

Xu Shu asked, "Who is Ge Pi?" He has such a skill. ”

Liu Bo said: "I only heard that he is from Runan, and I don't know anything else. ”

At this time, Xu Chu interjected and said: "It's not for no reason that the officers and soldiers lose, just those wastes who only know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, it's no wonder if they don't lose!" ”

Xiang Qing thought to himself, Xu Chu's words proved one point, he had been a county soldier, he deeply understood the appearance of these county soldiers, and it may be because of disappointment that he chose to return to the life of the people.

Liu Bo continued: "After the officers and soldiers were defeated, Ge Dashuai became even more rampant, recruiting troops and horses, and his strength soon grew, and not only that, he also bribed Lord Assassin Shi, the officials and bandits colluded, and Lord Assassin Shi actually let a mountain bandit go alone, and even handed over this part of our country to him to manage." ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Needless to say later, I guessed it, Ge Pi was protected by the assassin history, used his own people to encircle the country of Qian, became his own soil emperor, squeezed the people to obtain money and food, the people were miserable, but they had no strength to resist, so they could only let him slaughter, so be it." ”

Uncle Liu sighed and said helplessly: "That's right. ”

Cao Chun slapped his thigh and said, "It's outrageous!" How dare a mere bandit be so rampant! ”

Xu Chu said coldly: "Everyone is an ordinary person, all knives and iron tools have been confiscated, what do you let them resist?" ”

Xiang Qing stared at Xu Chu's eyes for a while, and said with a smile: "They may not resist, but you won't, I'm afraid you have been planning how to kill Ge Pi for a long time, right?" ”

Wang Shu, Xu Shu, and Xiang Qingdu looked at Xu Chu with a smile on their faces, how could a person who killed a tiger with his bare hands be afraid of Ge Pi? Even if Ge Pi has tens of thousands of horses, I'm afraid Xu Chu will not have the slightest fear, some people's courage is in their bones, and Xu Chu's courage is integrated into his whole body, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Uncle Liu hurriedly said: "Zhongkang, don't do anything stupid, the people who resist Ge Dashuai have their heads hung on the gate of the county seat!" Let's do our duty, don't lose your life. ”

Everyone didn't speak, and Xiang Qing remembered a sentence in his heart, people who have been kneeling for a long time can't stand up, but some people are born with hard knees and can't kneel, although they can live while kneeling, they would rather die standing up.

At this time, Liu Hu walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Second master, there is a group of horse bandits, there are about seventy or eighty people, and it is the banner of Gezi." ”

Cao Chun smiled: "Yo, even the flag has been built, second brother, let me go, I promise not to let one go." ”

Xiang Yan said coldly: "Brother Xiang let me go, I want to try." ”

Liu Hu hugged his fists and hurriedly said, "Second master! Let me go! It's been a long time since I've moved my muscles! ”

Everyone asked for battle, and they didn't put this group of people in their eyes between their words, and Uncle Liu was stunned when they heard it.

Uncle Liu said fearfully: "Xiang Gongzi, stop them quickly!" You have just entered the territory of the kingdom of Qiao, and it is impossible for Ge Dashuai to learn about you immediately, he is not here to look for you, you just hide. ”

"Hide? Where are so many of us hiding? Xiang Qing said with a smile: "Rats, you take a look at the situation first, if we kill them, I'm afraid it will affect the people here, if it's really coming to us, then kill them all together, you must not let one go, letting one go will bring trouble to the people, do you understand?" ”

Everyone received the order, got up and left the house one after another, Xu Chu and Uncle Liu stared wide-eyed, Uncle Liu just wanted to say something, Xu Chu also followed and walked out.

This village is not big, there are only dozens of households, most of the families are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the strong ones have been arrested and strong, so Xu Chu will not, these bandits are still afraid of Xu Chu's force, and Xu Chu has also killed hundreds of bandits, they have reached a tacit understanding, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and everyone does not interfere with each other.

The horse bandits turned their knives and rushed to the inch, and the small leader walked in the front, and a loud minion next to him shouted loudly.

"Pay your taxes! It's all out! Come to the village entrance and line up! Hurry up and get out. ”

The people sighed, the closed door was useless, they could only push open the door and walk out dejectedly, Uncle Liu hid in the broken house and shivered, and the people also whispered that just a few days after paying the tax, they came to ask for taxes again.

A middle-aged woman cried, "Uncle! There really is nothing left in our house, nothing left! You have a lot of adults, can you give a few days, I still have a child at home! ”

The little leader smiled evilly and said, "How many days of grace?" Yes, then how do I pay the errand? I have a way to do that, do you want to hear it? ”

The woman hurriedly said, "Listen, you say, you say!" I'm willing to do anything! ”

"Then you let Uncle Ben be cool, if you serve well, then I will save you for a few days, what do you think?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, and said with an embarrassed face: "No, do you have any other way, I have a two-year-old child at home!" ”

The bandits didn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one, and the minions dragged the woman directly onto the horse, put it sideways in front of her, and laughed loudly, and the woman's child ran out crying and crying for her mother.

The little leader raised his knife and said scoldingly: "Dare to negotiate conditions with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will help you solve this kid, and you will concentrate on serving your brothers in the future!" ”

The knife fell immediately, the child was still crying and screaming to find his mother, and he couldn't dodge the fatal knife at all, just at this critical moment, Cao Chun was already in front of the child, and Xu Shu took the child away with light skills.

As soon as he raised his head, Cao Chun's eyes were filled with heavy killing intent, and before the little leader could react, Cao Chun's long sword had already grazed his neck, and before the blood could gush out, Cao Chun had already killed the next bandit.

Xiang Qing pulled out the thundering sword, flew up, stepped on the back of the horse and slashed several people, Liu Hu held a double halberd and killed from behind the bandits, like a tiger entering a flock, Wang Shu also pulled out his sword to participate in the battle.

Xiang Yan has long been ready to go, his swordsmanship has been given all the guidance, gathering the heads of several families, but his actual combat experience is too little, it is difficult to kill with one blow, but Xiang Xu will check and fill in the gaps for him, Xiang Xu's sword has long surpassed the scope of human beings, and in the blink of an eye, the corpses of twenty people have fallen off the horse.

As soon as Xu Chu came out, he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be frightened by everyone's combat effectiveness, he couldn't bear his own impulses, picked up a big knife and rushed up, although there was no systematic knife technique, but with his instinct, his combat effectiveness was also ridiculously strong.

In the blink of an eye, the corpses of those mountain bandits were already lying all over the place, Xiang Qing ordered everyone to take care of the horses, don't lose a horse, you must be cautious in doing things, and the horse can also leak news.

And when everyone was cleaning the battlefield, a little minion who pretended to be dead took advantage of everyone's inattention and flew on his horse to escape.

"Second master! Ran one! ”

Xu Chu and Xiang Qing saw the one who fled at the same time, and their reactions were exactly the same, they picked up a knife on the ground casually, threw it out with all their strength, and the horse fell to the ground with a scream.

When Xu Shu arrived, he saw that on the ground, a knife nailed people to the ground, and a knife nailed horses to the ground.
