Chapter 228: Xue Wu's Test (I)
Retreat is not easier than attacking, and it is not easy to retreat with dignity if you have already fought hard. The hammer roared and threw out in the air, and then it was knocked out, and the hatch was smashed. A masked man was injured and fell to the ground, and his accomplice did not have time to take the wounded away, but Fan Jin preemptively controlled the person, and his foot crushed the masked man's wound so hard that the man who had always been brave could not help but scream.
These people came from the same force, and they may still have some kinship with each other, and several masked people who retreated turned around when they heard the shouting, and one of them slashed at Fan Jin with a single knife. "Scholar, believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you even if he didn't leave! Let my people go, everyone will go their own way, and you won't do anything here. ”
Fan Jin responded with his middle finger. "Obviously they are all defeated people, how can they be so arrogant? Believe it or not, in seven days, I picked your mountain? I thought it would be great to be masked! Do you know what will happen to your people? He would be locked up in the worst cell with his hands and feet broken, bitten by rats and ants every day, and he would be killed alive before he could be beheaded. At that time, he would have thought it was a kind of luck to die early! If you envy him, come along, and I'll put you in the same cell!" ”
The masked man obviously wanted to kill him back, but at this time, the Yang family's guards had also been contained, moving closer to Fan Jin's location. There are still three or four guards of the Yang family who have the ability to move, and they are not less than the masked people in terms of numbers, and in terms of morale, the attacking side is not dominant now. The leader stared at Fan Jin fiercely, "I remember your appearance, scholar!" ”
"I won't remember your looks, Zack! I didn't even dare to show my appearance, and I dared to come out and mix, which was a shame for people in the green forest. ”
The masked man wanted to scold back, but the people around him dragged him and ran up the ladder. Fan Jin didn't chase after him, after all, his purpose was to keep Zhang Shunqing, and he couldn't care about anything else.
The piano stopped.
Fan Jin heard the sound of familiar footsteps behind him, the trotting pace was not elegant at all, and it did not match the ordinary image of the owner, but at the moment, this kind of hectic pace made Fan Jin feel more comfortable. Turning around, Zhang Shunqing had already desperately flipped the switch and Fan and the two rushed over, grabbed Fan Jin's hand and said, "Retreat!" Let me see, are you hurt! ”
"I'm fine, you go back to the cabin and close the door, be careful that there are still bandits left. I have to go to the other side to have a look, just now I saw a strong man carrying a package, and it was a person who came out of the cabin of Yang Ergongzi. ”
"I'll go with you." Zhang Shunqing grabbed Fan Jin's hand tightly and said stubbornly. Her demeanor was very resolute, at least three or five sentences could not make her change her mind, and now that time was tight, Fan Jin had no choice but to take her towards Yang Shida's cabin. At this time, several guards of the Yang family had already tied up all the captured masked people, rushed into the cabin to find the head of the house, and lit lamps and candles to illuminate them.
The leader of several guards is named Luo Wu, who is in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, slightly ugly and a little old-looking, and his appearance age is more than ten years older than his actual age. This person has been working as a guard on this boat, and Fan Jin is acquainted, he is very low-key on weekdays, does not talk much, is neither good at drinking nor gambling, if he is not a nurse, most of them will be regarded as a servant. But at the moment, among the guards of the Yang family, only he was not injured, and most of them, as Feng Mingqi expected, this person had the highest martial arts among all the guards of the Yang family.
No matter what Yang Shida is, he is always a businessman rather than a robber, and he can't do some private things in front of others. Therefore, in order to be convenient with the woman who was taken, no guards were allowed in his cabin, only the two of them.
He is a very good and decent person on weekdays, although he dresses well, and the place where he lives is also spotlessly cleaned. But by this time, his cabin was already a mess. Clothes were thrown everywhere, mixed with a few women's small clothes and embroidered shoes. The cage lock was split, the lid was wide open, and things were turned over. As soon as I entered the cabin, I smelled a foul smell coming from my face, and then I saw Yang Shida, who was paralyzed on the bed and unconscious.
He drank too much during the day, slept heavily at night, and the noise outside probably didn't wake him up. He was still wearing a medium coat, and he seemed to have just woken up when the bandits broke through the door. The woman he forcibly occupied was gone, and she should be the one who showed her calf in the package. The corners of Yang Shida's mouth were foaming at the mouth, and the stench was emitted from under him.
Fan Jin stretched out his hand and pinched the middle of the person, found another teapot, and splashed water on his face, Yang Shida opened his eyes slightly, and muttered: "That bag...... Huang Gonggong's ...... Can't afford to lose. Luo Wu hurriedly said: "Rest assured, the villain said that people are in things, and several brothers are desperate to fight with the strongman, and those important things are not missing." ”
"Luo Wu...... Well done......", Yang Shida, who heard the news, was relieved, let out a long breath, rolled his eyes and fainted.
Zhang Shunqing frowned slightly, she didn't have a good opinion of Yang Shida, at this time, looking at his embarrassed appearance, and comparing Fan Jin, the more she felt that this person was unbearable, and she felt that there was only one good man in the world.
There was footsteps in the corridor again, Fan Jin went out with a knife, the lights shook, and the two people who came knew each other, and they were the two apprentices beside Feng Mingqi. These two people are shrewd and capable, and they can be regarded as a match with Fan Jin, Fan Jin greeted them and asked:
"How's that going up? How are Daddy Feng and the fifth girl? ”
"It's still fighting, but the thieves are ready to retreat. Master is fine, there is a thief who wants to use the thunder whip to plot against Master, and he doesn't want to blow up the chamber with a firearm, but he blows himself up. The battle between the rivers and lakes actually used firearms to plot, what a shame! The master moved the real fire and killed several of their masters in one go, and this gang of robbers was injured this time. The Yang family also relieved themselves, and if they didn't run, they would suffer a big loss. Senior Sister Xue...... I didn't see it, but she was okay with her skills, so she wouldn't be fine. This group of thieves smelled the smell this time, and a large number of people rushed to our ship, and we were outnumbered, otherwise we would not have suffered. ”
As they spoke, the two glanced at Yang Shida, who was still unconscious, obviously blaming the other party for eating and drinking during the day, and making too much pomp, so that the thieves' ears and eyes figured out where the main ship was, and caused themselves to suffer. The guards of the Yang family didn't care about arguing with these two people now, they were all under the leadership of Luo Wu, and they were in a hurry to rescue Yang Shida, and the two disciples of Feng Mingqi first looked at the ropes of a few masked people, and then uncovered their masks to see, and after confirming that they didn't know each other, they casually found two people with minor injuries, and then searched house by house to find out if there were any fish that slipped through the net, and checked the losses by the way.
Zhang Shunqing pulled Fan Jin and said, "Think back, let's go back to the cabin." ”
Fan Jin shook his head and said: "No, I'll send you back, and then go up to take a look, everyone is here all the way, Feng Lao is fighting, it's not good for me to be idle below." You...... Close the door and take something and put it on top. ”
Zhang Shunqing shook his head and said, "Wherever you go, I will go." ”
"Obedient, it's fighting and killing people from above, it's very dangerous, I have to take care of you when you go up, and this world-shattering skill won't be able to be exerted."
Zhang Shunqing said with a smile: "Retreat is a scholar, the skill is in the pen and not in the sword, why fight with others?" As long as your martial arts are used to protect me, don't worry about the rest. ”
Before he could move the place, another disciple of Feng Mingqi came down and said to the people below: "Is there a living mouth here?" If you have it, don't kill it, Senior Sister Xue was arrested by them, and the master is going to change the general, and take a few more people to replace them. ”
"What?"
Fan Jin's expression changed when he heard this, and he asked the disciple, "You say it again, who was arrested?" ”
"Fan Gongzi, I mean Senior Sister Xue Wu, who was arrested by the strongman. It seems that these dog robbers are not seeking money, but are specifically here to arrest people. After seeing Senior Sister Xue, several masters specifically besieged her, and Senior Sister was caught without going through the battle formation and lacking experience in fighting. Master said to catch a few more people from the other side and exchange them with them! Now there are a few big ones surrounded above, and the master is fighting with them, preparing to catch the replacement alive. ”
Fan Jin looked at Zhang Shunqing and said, "I'...... I want to go up and have a look. Come with me. ”
Zhang Shunqing looked at the bloodstains on Fan Jin's body, and her eyes seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Miss Xue is kind to me, and I want to save her too, let's go up together." ”
On the deck of the main ship, the battle had come to an end. The masked man who had just killed like a wolf and a tiger began to retreat on all fronts at this time, a Yang family's ship was set on fire, and the main manpower of the Yang family had to fight the fire, taking advantage of this opportunity, a large number of attackers rowed a small boat to retreat. The fleet of ships that were like wolves had already begun to turn away at this time, only a few ships were still there, and on the deck, Feng Mingqi and several disciples and the Yang family's guards surrounded the three of them to fight.
These three masked men are all quite skillful, and they are not on the same level as those that Fan Jin has just dealt with. Feng Mingqi's disciples and guards were only responsible for the encirclement and did not get started, in fact, three people joined forces to fight Feng Mingqi.
Feng Mingqi's cultivation is superb, but in front of Fan Jin, he always appears as a social activist, showing martial arts, and also showing cultivation, which does not reflect much combat power. At this time, the two fought for life and death, and only then did they see how clever his art industry was. A copper stick was against three people, still attacking more and defending less, but in fact, he was alone, surrounding the other three people.
The three masked men desperately guarded themselves, and shouted in their mouths: "Feng Si, there is no need to kill them all, right? ”
"You're just preserving their belongings, we're only taking a few women, it's not a big deal, you really want to turn your face?"
"Are you not going to live in Huai'an Mansion in your life? Next time, believe it or not, you'll become a floating corpse. ”
The shadows of the sticks were heavy, the gusts of wind were stirring, and the two strings of lighting lanterns on the boat were floating back and forth in the wind. A layman in martial arts like Zhang Shunqing can also feel what kind of powerful power is in that stick, and what kind of sad and angry emotions the old man contains.
"I, Feng, walk the rivers and lakes, and I always like to talk about friendship and talk on face. As long as it is a problem that can be solved by human affection, I will never move my fist. As you say, it's not necessary. ”
The old man's voice, through the heavy wind, was sent into the ears of several people, and the voice was vigorous and powerful. With a muffled snort, it was a masked man who was smashed on the shoulder with a stick, and the weapon was shot, and the man rolled on the deck screaming. Two guards pounced on the masked man and tied him up, and the remaining two naturally made the situation even more dangerous.
"In fact, even if you really take away the property, everyone doesn't necessarily have to work hard, the money is outside the body, it's a big deal, the old man just manages to pay the silver. But you have taken away my righteous daughter, how can I bear it! The old man has no queen under his knees, only this one righteous daughter, you kidnap her! Now it's not a question of whether you want to let me go, it's whether I want to let you go! ”
The stick wind howled.
Another masked man fell to the ground, and the last masked man desperately fled towards the side of the boat, shouting: "Surnamed Feng, if you dare to beat me to death, your righteous daughter will not be able to stand up by the wheel!" Let me go back, I'll let her ......"
Bang.
A stick fell, and the human head exploded like a broken watermelon, and the red brains overflowed. Zhang Shunqing, who was completely defenseless, desperately grabbed Fan Jin's hand and forcibly endured the vomiting Yuwang. The cold wind blew, and the phoenix Mingqi's clothes fluttered under the light, and the long hair danced with the wind, majestic like a god. Looking at the dead body of the masked man, he snorted coldly: "When the old man bluffed people with such words, you were not born yet!" I don't lack you as a hostage. ”
He carried a stick in one hand and twisted his hair in the other, and only then did he see Fan Jin and Zhang Shunqing between his heads, the murderous aura on his body dispersed, and he hurriedly showed a smile and said: "Fan Gongzi, eldest lady, when did you come, but the old man didn't know." This is not the place for you, please go back to the cabin. ”
Zhang Shunqing said: "What about Miss Xue? ”
"It's in that boat."
Feng Mingqi pointed at it, and Fan Jin saw that in the night, a small fire left the big ship and was heading into the distance. The distance was not very far, he estimated the speed, and said to Feng Mingqi: "Old Feng, please send me to the boat, and I will go and rescue Miss Xue." ”
"Fan Gongzi, this doesn't have to be necessary, right? I've already captured a few of their masters, and one of them should be one of the leaders of this group. With such a person in hand, it can always be discussed, and Fan Gongzi must not be in danger. ”
Fan Jin knew that what Feng Mingqi said was not wrong, with such a hostage in hand, he could indeed exchange Xue Wu back. But thinking about the bare calves and slender feet in the baggage roll, it is not difficult to imagine what became of Xue Wu who was put back. He looked at Zhang Shunqing, whose lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but finally said, "Fan Lang...... Miss Xue is my savior, I can't watch her suffer, if you can do it, you can save people. But...... I don't allow you to take any chances. ”
"Qingqing has an order, I don't dare to disobey it. Elder Feng, please send me to the boat, I'll go now and bring a complete Xue Wu back! ”
