Chapter 198: An Unexpected Turnaround
Xiaoya was startled, and she was about to scream in surprise, but he soon saw that it was Mao Wenlong and his own young lady. She was slightly stunned, Mao Wenlong had already rushed to him.
"Stop your young lady." Mao Wenlong couldn't care about losing face, so he rushed directly into the house and locked the door reflexively.
Li Xiu had already caught up at this time, her pretty face was as cold as frost, her eyes were full of anger, and the sword in her hand was shining with a chilling cold light in the moonlight.
"Miss......"
As soon as Xiaoya spoke, she was immediately intercepted by Li Xiu: "Xiaoya, you stand aside, Miss Ben must kill him today." ”
"Miss must not do it, Mao Gongzi is a distinguished guest in the village, if you kill him, wait for the ......" The little girl was so anxious that she almost cried.
Li Xiu couldn't say anything, and directly stretched out her hand to pull the little girl who was blocking in front of her, and then shouted at Mao Wenlongjiao in the house: "You are still not a man, you have the ability to open the door and talk to Miss Ben." Even I can't beat it, and I don't want Miss Ben to marry you. ”
Mao Wenlong in the house was out of breath, he almost didn't let himself lose his breath when he ran away just now, but he finally returned it, and he heard Li Xiu's coquettish shouting. That's when he realized why she wanted to kill herself.
However, the problem seems that this is not his idea, and he has no intention of marrying Li Xiu at all. Soon Mao Wenlong reacted, he had already thought that it must be that Li Dahu who did the.
Mao Wenlong smiled angrily: "Miss Li, I think you should have misunderstood, I, Mao Wenlong, definitely have no intention of marrying you." I'm not afraid to tell you that I already have two wives in my family, and I don't have the intention of taking another concubine for the time being. ”
Li Xiu was stunned for a moment when she heard it outside, but after a while, she didn't look angry at all, and still snorted coldly: "What do you mean, Miss Ben is not worthy of you, right?" ”
Mao Wenlong in the house suddenly became angry, and he also lost his temper: "You can do whatever you want, Lao Tzu will not accompany you." Grandma's, you want to fight, Lao Tzu will accompany you through a few tricks. ”
The sound fell, the door came, and Mao Wenlong got a wooden stick out of nowhere.
Li Xiu didn't expect Mao Wenlong to open the door by himself, and he dared to face himself. She admired Mao Wenlong's courage, but she only admired it, and the anger in Li Xiu's heart still did not subside.
The sword was lightly raised, pointing at Mao Wenlong from afar, and Li Xiu sneered: "Very good, you still look like a man." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Xiu didn't hesitate, and stabbed it with his sword.
Mao Wenlong's heart was pounding, and he was very nervous. He had never learned any moves, and he had only opened the door when his blood was surging and his head was hot, which would have made his intestines blue with regret.
But his life was already threatened, and Mao Wenlong still subconsciously waved the wooden stick in his hand to resist the sword stabbed by Li Xiu.
"Smack!"
An accident happened, and the wooden stick in Mao Wenlong's hand was cut off by Li Xiu's sword like a bubble.
After a short period of stunnedness, Mao Wenlong let out a cold sweat, and then realized that the sword in Li Xiu's hand was not extraordinary. Fortunately, the wooden stick in his hand was also more than a meter long, and if it was only cut off by a small section, it would not affect him to continue to use it.
"Smack, smack!"
The sticks and swords intersected twice in succession, and the wooden stick in Mao Wenlong's hand was cut off by two more sections.
The sword itself is not used for cutting, Li Xiu has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child, so he naturally understands this truth. But from the beginning of cutting off the wooden stick in Mao Wenlong's hand, she abandoned the swordsmanship and used the sword in her hand as a machete.
Mao Wenlong secretly complained in his heart, he had been forced to retreat into the house, and the wooden stick in his hand was less than a meter long. It's time to find a way out for yourself!
At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the house, followed by an angry roar, and Li Dahu's tall figure startled into the room: "Xiu'er, stop it." ”
Li Xiu was willing to be obedient, but she worked harder, and her tricky swordsmanship was unreserved, forcing Mao Wenlong into a corner. Li Xiu shouted: "Death!" ”
The cold light suddenly appeared, and Mao Wenlong only felt the sword light rushing towards his face, and it went straight to his eyebrows. There was no way to retreat from the back, the wooden stick in his hand had already been chopped off, he was bare-handed at the moment, and he didn't know what superb martial arts skills were to grab the white blade empty-handed.
Li Xiu seemed to be determined to kill Mao Wenlong, the sword she stabbed out carried a cold light, without the slightest pause or hesitation, and there was a sword to understand Mao Wenlong's life.
Li Dahu was really anxious now: "Big but girl." ”
After shouting, Li Dahu hurriedly made a move, and the big knife in his hand was thrown out directly, in order to save Mao Wenlong, he didn't care if he would hurt his daughter.
Because he understands that once Mao Wenlong has an accident at this moment, the 30,000 Dongjiang troops outside will inevitably attack in groups, and then it will be the time when the Eagle's Beak Cliff will be full of blood.
Li Dahu's big knife flew straight towards Li Xiu's back, if Li Xiu didn't put away her sword to resist and still stabbed Mao Wenlong, she herself would inevitably die. Li Dahu is gambling, betting that his daughter will collect her sword to resist his big sword.
However, Li Xiuer's final behavior was much beyond everyone's expectations.
I saw that when Li Xiu's sword was against Mao Wenlong's eyebrows, she did not stab it again, but raised it slightly, directly over the top of Mao Wenlong's head, and the sword was finally stabbed on the beam behind Mao Wenlong.
Li Xiu, who opened the middle door in his back, completely ignored the big knife that came straight behind him. Mao Wenlong was stunned, and clearly saw Li Xiu closing his eyes with an expression of waiting for death.
First, seeing that his daughter did not stab Mao Wenlong to death, Li Dahu just breathed a sigh of relief, but exclaimed again. However, at this time, it was obviously too late to save Li Xiu!
At the last moment, Mao Wenlong suddenly reached out and pushed Li Xiu's body away. Li Dahu's big knife flew through the gap between Mao Wenlong and Li Xiu, and Li Xiu's arm and Mao Wenlong's arm were cut at the same time, and blood flowed in an instant.
Li Dahu and the people who had just arrived immediately rushed forward, some protected Mao Wenlong, and some pulled Li Xiu away and controlled her.
A crisis was finally resolved invisibly, and in the end, only Li Xiu and Mao Wenlong were each injured.
After a brief panic in the room, it quickly subsided, and Lang Zhong in the village was also called and bandaged the wounds of the two of them. Both of them were just skin injuries, and they didn't hurt their muscles and bones, so they were fine.
The others retreated one after another, and in the end, only Mao Wenlong, Li Dahu, Xiaoya and Li Xiu were left in Li Xiu's room.
Li Dahu glared at Li Xiu fiercely, but he didn't complain to him, Li Xiu's determination to close his eyes and wait for death just now, Li Dahu had fully understood that his daughter was indeed unwilling to marry Mao Wenlong.
He is such a precious daughter, and he is really reluctant to let her die. Especially this will Li Xiu's mood obviously hasn't stabilized, so he doesn't dare to say anything more about her.
Walking in front of Mao Wenlong, Li Dahu sincerely bent down and bowed to Mao Wenlong: "General Mao, I'm really sorry for making you tired." ”
Mao Wenlong glanced at Li Dahu and said helplessly: "Master Li Zhai, I understand your thoughts, but you are too confused in this matter." If you don't know me, you can't trust me, you can talk to me. There is something we can't say on the surface, we have to let your daughter suffer such a big grievance. Do you think that if you marry your daughter to me, you will be able to save the ten thousand brothers in your village who were born and died with you? ”
A trace of shame flashed on Li Dahu's face, and he said yes again and again in embarrassment, not daring to refute Mao Wenlong at all.
Li Xiu over there, after the experience of the rest of her life after the catastrophe, she also began to gradually calm down. At this moment, she also regretted the impulse just now, but fortunately, at the critical moment, the Mao Wenlong she hated still saved her life.
Li Xiu couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was in her heart, for some reason, after experiencing the catastrophe just now, the anger she gave to Mao Wenlong suddenly disappeared without a trace.
This made Li Xiu very puzzled, she really didn't understand why she became like this. She was originally a person who loved and hated Zeng Ming, but she was very conflicted in her heart. Li Xiu, who really couldn't find a reason, finally attributed the change in his heart to the fact that he was grateful to Mao Wenlong for sacrificing his life to save himself at a critical moment.
Mao Wenlong didn't stay here for long, and after criticizing Li Dahu a few words, he took his leave and went back to his cabin. In order to prevent any accidents from happening again, Li Dahu also specially sent two masters to protect Mao Wenlong's safety.
After Mao Wenlong left, Li Dahu lowered his face and looked at Li Xiu coldly, full of complaints to vent, but finally turned into a light sigh. Without saying anything, he turned around and left on his own.
"Miss, are you alright?" Only Li Xiu and Xiaoya were left in the room before Xiaoya dared to speak, and the thrilling scene just now frightened her.
Li Xiu stared blankly at the bandaged wound on his arm, shook his head and said, "I'm fine." ”
Xiaoya obviously felt that the young lady was in a very low mood at the moment, and she didn't dare to ask more, so after obtaining Li Xiu's consent, she helped her into the inner room to rest.
After a small commotion, the Eagle's Beak Cliff quickly regained its calm. After Li Dahu left his daughter's boudoir, he did not go back to the house to rest, but hurried to the meeting hall in the village.
At this moment, more than a dozen old brothers in the hall had gathered here, and when they saw Li Dahu coming in a hurry, everyone got up to greet them.
After Li Dahu returned the salute one by one, he sat down directly on the first place, with apologetic eyes, Li Dahu swept all the old brothers in the hall one by one, and said: "I'm sorry, brothers, the little girl almost made a big mistake tonight, causing an irreparable disaster to our eagle's beak cliff. Fortunately, things have not developed to the worst, and now the turmoil can be regarded as stable. ”
The second master immediately got up and said with a smile: "Big brother is serious, everyone knows Xiu'er's strong temper, and we all understand." ”
The rest of the people then echoed it, and did not mean to accuse Li Dahu.
This made Li Dahu very moved, and then he revealed the matter and stopped talking about it, Li Dahu said: "The current situation is like this, and it is impossible for Xiu'er's affairs to continue." However, the matter of our eagle's beak cliff must be resolved as soon as possible, and we can only keep General Mao here for three days at most. We must have a clear answer in three days, do you have anything to say, brothers? ”
The people below began to whisper, and Li Dahu was not in a hurry, picking up the tea and waiting with peace of mind.
After a while, it was still the second master who got up and said: "Big brother, after the brothers discussed, I think we should accept General Mao's recruitment!" ”
Li Dahu didn't seem to be the slightest surprised by such an answer, after all, more than half of the people had already meant this from the beginning.
He pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Judging from the contact with General Mao in the past two days, he is indeed a person worthy of our trust. It's just that the matter is related to the lives of more than 10,000 people up and down in our village, so we have to be cautious. ”
The second master immediately frowned and said: "Big brother's concerns are right, the problem is that we don't have a second choice at all now. The only option is to have to gamble this time, and hope that Mr. Mao will not disappoint us. ”
Li Dahu showed a wry smile on his face: "Actually, I'm not only worried about this, there are more serious problems in front of us. ”
"Oh, big brother, might as well talk about it?" The second master answered again.
"Since we have decided to accept Zhao'an, we must consider the issue of post-recruitment. First of all, and most importantly, I am afraid that many of the brothers in the village will probably not be able to stand the strict military regulations of the army after accepting Zhao'an. ”
As soon as Li Dahu said this, everyone below suddenly realized that indeed, the people of Eagle's Beak Cliff have always been free and easy, and they do not have as many constraints as in the army. And when you get used to bandits and suddenly become an officer, there will inevitably be many bad habits from before, and these Mao Wenlong will inevitably order rectification.
No one will allow some outsiders to join, and it will destroy the strong army with strict military discipline.
After pondering, the second master said: "Big brother, in fact, this is the inevitable path for Zhao'an. If we're really worried, we can get everyone's consent before making a decision. ”
"You mean, what do you mean to ask everyone?" Li Dahu hesitated.
"Yes, we can ask all the brothers in the village directly, and those who are willing to accept the recruitment must have the determination to change their old bad habits. And if you don't want to change or feel that you can't change it, we can just let them out of the eagle's beak cliff, so that our things will be much easier. ”
The words of the second master made Li Dahu's eyes light up, and he laughed and said: "It's still the second child, you have a lot of ideas, okay, this matter is settled, you will arrange this matter from tomorrow, and you must get the result out quickly." ”
The second master smiled and said: "Big brother, don't worry, I will personally supervise this matter, and I will definitely not make any mistakes in it." ”
After the matter was negotiated, Li Dahu dismissed everyone, leaving him alone to continue to stay in the council hall. Looking at the empty council hall, he suddenly felt very reluctant in his heart.
After accepting Zhao'an, it means that the Eagle's Beak Cliff that he founded single-handedly will be disbanded! Li Dahu's heart was empty, and all kinds of emotions came to his heart, which was very unpleasant.
