Long Yuan was expressionless and didn't answer, but one of his hands was already behind his back, if this Li Tongzhen saw something, he didn't mind finding a place where no one was there to do it.

Liu Xiu was very calm, and said happily: "Brother Li is serious, since it is just a joke, how can Uncle Zhong and I take it seriously!" ”

Li Tong said nonchalantly: "Don't say that Brother Long is not a wanted criminal, even if he is a wanted criminal, it's nothing, hide for a few months, wait for the emperor's amnesty, and all the charges will be written off." ”

This is true, Wang Mang can be regarded as one of the most popular emperors in Chinese history to issue amnesty decrees.

During his fifteen-year reign, he issued a total of more than 20 amnesty decrees, on average, once every ten months, so that later generations joked that in Wang Mang's new dynasty, murder does not have to pay for life, only if you can escape for ten months, the guilty will become innocent.

Li turned his head around and asked, "Brother Liu is from Xiangyang?" ”

"No, I'm from Caiyang."

"Cai Yang? Brother Liu went to Xiangyang? ”

"Join the Rebels."

When Li Tong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "It's a coincidence, my cousin and I also came to Xiangyang to join the rebel army!" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Brother Liu's surname is Liu, and he is from Cai Yang, has Brother Liu heard of Liu Bosheng of Cai Yang?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "That's my eldest brother!" ”

Li Tong's eyes widened in surprise, he looked at Liu Xiu in disbelief, and asked uncertainly, "Liu Bosheng is Brother Liu's eldest brother?" Big brother? ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "There is a fake exchange!" ”

Li Tong couldn't help laughing, gave Liu Xiu a thumbs up, and said: "Your eldest brother is now the big hero of our Nanyang County, I heard in the casino that your eldest brother held up five stone piers with one hand, which stunned the county lieutenant." ”

The news of "......" spread too quickly, and it was also too exaggerated. Liu Xiugan smiled: "There are not as many as five, in fact, there are two!" ”

"That's also amazing, I can't even lift a stone pier with two hands." Li Tong looked at Liu Xiu with an excited look on his face, as if he had seen Liu Xiu himself. He said: "By the way, I am from Wanxian County. ”

Li Tong of Wanxian County?! Liu Xiu's mind moved, and asked: "I remember that Master Li Shouli of Wanxian County has a son named Li Tong Li Ciyuan!" ”

"Li Shouzheng is the name of his father, but his father has been an official in the court for many years!"

Now Liu Xiu figured out who Li Tong was.

The Li family is a famous family in Nanyang County, who has been in business for generations and has a lot of wealth. In Li Shou's generation, he gave up business and entered politics and served as a grandmaster in Chang'an, an official who specialized in handling clan affairs.

Later, I don't know why, Li Shou suddenly resigned from his official position, returned to his hometown in Wanxian County, and continued to do business.

The Li family is famous for its great business, and Li Tong is famous for his generosity, and the reason why Liu Xiu has heard of Li Tong is precisely because Li Tong organized a month-long soup kitchen in Wancheng to relieve the victims.

Most of the people who participated in the Righteous Army were the same as Liu Xuan, with the psychology of making a windfall, but the Li family itself was already very rich, and Li Tong came to join the Righteous Army, Liu Xiu really couldn't understand why he did it.

He asked, "Brother Li's family is rich, why did he come to join the rebel army?" ”

Li Tong said with a smile: "Men are ambitious in all directions, if they stay at home all day long and are protected by their parents, it will be difficult to achieve great things after all." ”

Liu Xiu nodded secretly, Li Tong was born in a famous family, not a gentleman, but a person with great ambitions, and he can make friends with him.

He was pondering when a group of men came on the street in front of him, blocking the way of Liu Xiu and the others.

The man at the head looked at the three of them with bad intentions, and said with a sneer: "I said that a few of you just came out of the casino, and you want to leave like this?" ”

Liu Xiu and the three of them raised their eyes and saw that the big man who spoke was eight feet tall, with big shoulders and a round waist, covered with a coat on the outside, and shirtless inside, revealing bulging high chest muscles.

Looking at the face, the eyebrows are wild, and a pair of large ringed eyes below are flashing with an aggressive and fierce light.

On his left and right, there were six or seven big men, all of them crooked their necks and pouted, not looking at people squarely, staring at Liu Xiu and the others with the corner of their eyes.

The people on the streets of Xiangyang seem to know this group of people, as soon as they see them standing on the street, people hide far away, and some passers-by simply take a detour, avoiding them like a plague god.

Li Tong looked at them and asked, "You are all from the casino?" ”

"So what?"

"Oh, so you can't afford to lose, and now you want to grab it back when you see that we have won money!" Li Tong suddenly realized.

was broken by Li Tong's words, and the big man led by him became angry and angry, and said angrily: "You kid hand over that dragon coin, we will clear it evenly, if you don't hand it over, hum!" ”

The big man snapped his fingers as he spoke, and the joints made a series of crunching sounds.

Li Tong sneered and said, "A dragon coin, I haven't put it in my eyes yet, but the master just looks at you and wants me to hand over the dragon coin, no way!" ”

The big man led by him was so angry that he burst into smoke, and roared angrily: "I see that your kid wants money and not his life, and he won't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin!" ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Li Tong's collar, raised his other hand, rounded his fist, and made a gesture to hit Li Tong's face.

Li Tong is a child of a rich family, and his family has raised a lot of doormen and nurses, and he has also practiced some martial arts when he is young, and he can always have the upper hand when he fights with the doormen and nurses at home.

Now in the face of a few ruffians, he really didn't pay attention to it.

Without waiting for the opponent's fist to come down, Li Tong preemptively pressed the opponent's arm with his elbow, Dahan's arm bent involuntarily, and his body leaned forward.

Syllable! His fist struck the big man in the jaw, but the big man's body only shook slightly, and then he was completely unaffected, and roared back with a punch. This punch really hit Li Tong's cheek.

Li Tong hit the big man's punch, the other party didn't do anything, and the other party's punch that fought back made Li Tong's head buzz, his eyes turned black, and a gold star appeared, his eyes were dull, his legs couldn't stand, and his body was paralyzed downward.

Liu Xiu could see clearly from the side that Li Tong's moves were good, but unfortunately his strength was too small, and his ability to resist attacks was too weak.

To put it bluntly, he can't hurt people, but people can easily hurt him.

Seeing that Li Tong was completely vulnerable, the big man led by him was even more ashamed and angry, just such a hairy boy who was powerless could still punch himself in the face, if he didn't get this face back today, how could he mix in front of his brothers in the future? !

Thinking of this, the big man led by was angry from his heart, and he was angry, and he pulled out a dagger from his back waist and was about to stab Li Tong in the stomach.

At this time, Li Tongye had already come back to his senses, and when he saw the other party showing his knife, his face changed suddenly, but it was too late for him to break free from the big man and dodge the dagger at this time.

Just when the edge of the dagger was about to stab his lower abdomen, Li Tong thought that his life would not be saved, but at this moment, the dagger stopped unbelievably, and the tip of the dagger was almost attached to Li Tong's clothes.

At the last moment, Liu Xiu, who was standing on the side, almost stepped in front of the two of them, and grabbed the wrist of the big man holding the knife like lightning.

Although Liu Xiu is taller than Li Tong, his figure looks very thin, not like he has much strength, but no matter how hard the big man tries, the dagger just can't stab forward again.

He turned his head and glared at Liu Xiu angrily, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Let go!" ”

"In broad daylight, do you want to commit murder in public? Is there any royal law in Xiangyang City? ”

"Wang Fa? Lao Tzu is the fucking king's law! The burly man pushed Li Tong away, freed his hand, and punched Liu Xiu's face.

He was fast, but Liu Xiu's speed was even faster, his body was like a spinning top, and at the same time, he slashed out horizontally with a hand knife, impartially, and hit the neck of the burly man.

When he dodged the opponent's fist, he didn't want to cut the knife, and his body made this action completely subconsciously.

This is exactly the result of his diligent practice in the past two months according to the methods taught by Long Yuan.

The human body has memory not only in the brain, but also in the muscles.

When a person makes this action again, the body does not need to go through the command of the brain at all, and the next action can be completed only by muscle memory.

After receiving a knife from Liu Xiu in the throat, the burly man took two steps backwards on his back, he finally stabilized his body, his mouth was wide open, and his face was red.

He held on for a moment, and finally couldn't help but throw away the dagger, put his hands on his neck, knelt on the ground, coughed violently, and the spit from his mouth was still mixed with blood.

He also had to thank Liu Xiu for only two months, if he practiced for a longer time, with the strength of his hand knife, he could completely smash the opponent's throat cartilage.

Seeing that the boss was injured, the burly man's subordinates roared angrily, some showed daggers, some carried sticks, and rushed towards Liu Xiu.

Seeing this, Long Yuan leaned forward, but quickly retracted, feeling that he was too early to make a move at this time, it would be good to let the lord take these ruffians to practice first, after all, the opportunity is rare, if the lord is in danger, it is not too late to make another move.

Thinking of this, instead of stepping forward, Long Yuan took two steps back to make way for space, but his hand had already touched his waist, grabbed the dagger, and was ready to strike at any time.

Liu Xiu's actual combat experience was pitiful, and at this time, he was facing the siege of six or seven big men at once, and the opponent was holding weapons in his hands, and he also seemed to be in a hurry at the beginning, dodging the opponent's attack, and the danger was full of dangers.

However, Liu Xiu's body gradually played an effect, under the siege of many big men, his figure was like a ghost, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right, erratic, just right to dissolve the opponent's attacks one by one.

The more the big men fought, the more impatient they became, the more angry they became, on the other hand, Liu Xiu was getting easier and easier, and the more he fought, the more he fought, the more he was like a fish in water, and gradually, he was no longer limited to just relying on his body to dodge, and began to make tentative counterattacks.

Long Yuan on the side nodded secretly, and the hand that was originally holding the dagger slowly drooped.
