Chao Chong originally wanted to buy Li Kui a horse to ride, but Li Kui refused, on the one hand, because he didn't want to owe too much to anyone, and on the other hand, he didn't know how to ride at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info plus Li Kui is tall and has deep kung fu under his feet, even if he walks, he doesn't leave many people behind.

The group continued to go west, but after entering the border of Henan, Chao Chong began to deliberately avoid the county seat and go to the countryside where no one was around. Because once he does something big in Tokyo, the government will definitely chase after him, if he is wanted all the way, it will inevitably expose the signs that his party is from Shandong, and now Chao Gai has not yet gone to Liangshan, and he has not retreated, so it is better to be careful.

The government's power is mainly concentrated in the cities, and as long as the cities are avoided and the information in the countryside is not smooth, even if the government investigates in the future, it will be difficult to know where they came from.

But one of the bad things about walking in the countryside is that you take long detours, and often have nowhere to stay at night.

On this day, the sun is gradually setting, but there is no village in front of the village, no store behind, and you are going to sleep in the wild again? At this moment, Lei Ting pointed ahead and said, "Big brother, there seems to be an inn ahead!" ”

Chao Sheng stood up on horseback and looked into the distance for a while, and said happily: "There really is an inn, big brother!" Tonight you can have a hot meal. ”

Chao Yang was taller, so he naturally saw it, but he frowned, turned to Chao Chong and said, "Big brother, I heard Master say that there are many demons in the wilderness store. We need to be cautious. ”

Cao Zheng, who was a little older, also said: "Brother Chaoyang is right, like this situation, there is a great possibility of a black store." Think about it, if you don't have force, how can you survive in the wilderness? If there is force, wouldn't it be more convenient to rob and kill people than to earn those few taels of broken silver? ”

Li Kui, who ran and followed, deserved the name of the black whirlwind, and after running for so long, he didn't feel tired, and interjected: "I'm afraid of what he will do, I have been in the rivers and lakes for eight years, and I have seen a lot of this kind of wild shop." Let's have our weapons brightened, if they dare to be careful, kill them! ”

Chao Chong looked at Li Kui and said, "After killing them, did you snatch their silver together?" ”

Li Kui said with a smile: "If you want it, if you want it, you don't need money to eat and drink like this, and you can make a fortune, so it's a pleasure!" ”

Chao Chong said: "How many times have you done this kind of thing?" ”

Li Kui said with a smile: "How can there be so many opportunities to meet, but I have only done it three or four times." ”

Chao Chong smiled: "Then why are you still so poor? ”

Li Kui opened his mouth and was stunned for a while, and said with a red face: "I also have times when I am brave and brave in righteousness, and I am righteous and squandering money!" ”

Chao Chong remembered Li Kui's greed for alcohol and gambling in the Water Margin, and said, "Did you lose to your gambling friends?" ”

Li Kui said with a sigh: "How do you know? ”

Chao Chong didn't pay any attention to Li Kui, but said to everyone: "Regardless of whether there is a black shop ahead, we must be cautious." The weapon was taken out to intimidate, and then the other party had to taste the food, wine and meat first, and then went to bed at night and gathered together. That's all for now. If the other party has no evil deeds, we will not kill the innocent indiscriminately, if it is really a black shop, we will not show mercy to kill them! "All should be.

When I arrived at the inn, I saw three tiled houses on the side of the road, and a large thatched shed outside the tiled house, under which were five or six wooden tables and more than twenty stools. There are chopsticks on the table, and the table top is clean.

Xiao Er, who had a sharp chin, saw everyone from afar, stood under the thatched shed and waited, and when he saw everyone coming, he arched his hand and said: "It's not early, do you want to stay?" We have strong sorghum wine and yellow beef sauce here, and the house is said to be clean, clean and airy. There is also a forage horse shed at the back of the yard, which is definitely fed with excellent grass and dried beans! ”

Everyone dismounted, handed over the horses to Xiao Er, led them to the back of the house, tied them, and fed them with forage and dried beans. Six people sat around the table. Another person came out of the three tiled houses, with a beard and a greasy leather apron, and ran to everyone and said, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Chao Chong looked at the man's leather apron and said, "Are you a cook?" ”

The beard smiled and said: "The guest officer has good eyesight, because our store is small and thin, and there is a shortage of manpower, so I, the shopkeeper, also work part-time as a cook." Do you want some wine? ”

Chao Chong said: "The wine needs two jars, and it only cares about the scalding." The meat was cut into ten pounds first. After speaking, he glanced at Li Kui.

Li Kui took out two plate axes from behind his back, shook them twice in front of his bearded eyes, and said, "Shopkeeper, do you know what this is?" ”

The beard hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I know, I know, the heroic grandfather spares his life!" ”

Li Kui said proudly: "We are all serious people, if you are honest, it will be fine, if you want to do that black shop, I will cut off your dog's head with these two axes!" ”

The beard should be repeatedly. After getting Li Kui's permission, he hurriedly ran to the house to serve wine and cut meat.

Chao Chong rushed to Cao Zheng, who was more experienced in the rivers and lakes, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Cao Zhengdao: "The shopkeeper looked panicked, but his footsteps did not move back half a step, which is obviously not a normal person's reaction." So we'd better be careful. ”

Chao Chong thought so, and warned Thunder, Chao Yang, and Chao Sheng. As for Li Kui, ignore this guy for now, he is immersed in the joy of his own intimidation by force, and the other party fled in panic.

Soon, the pointed chin of the bolted horse and the beard brought the two jars of wine together, put down five sea bowls in front of everyone, broke the mud seal, poured wine for everyone, and a strong aroma of wine came to the face, Li Kui couldn't help but be a little impatient at first. Cao Zheng and Lei Ting were also a little moved. Only Chao Yang and Chao Sheng didn't react, they have been following Chao Chong to practice martial arts, training strictly, and they don't have much ** for wine and meat.

Chao Chong raised the wine bowl in front of him and said to Luo Hu: "In the wilderness, meeting is fate, this bowl of wine will be toasted to the store first!" As he spoke, he handed the bowl over. It is clear that you want to drink it first with your beard.

Seeing everyone's hands holding weapons, the shopkeeper didn't dare to hesitate, laughed and drank the wine, and wiped his mouth and said, "Thank you for the wine!" ”

Chao Chong nodded.

The beard and pointed chin went to the house to bring out two large plates of cut sauce beef, and Chao Chong also let them taste it. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, he knew that some sweat pills were chronic, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he held back his hunger, chatted for a while, and saw that the two people who had been standing not far away had no accident, so he was relieved to eat and drink.

After being full of wine and food, I went to a room, where more than a dozen people slept in the bunk, and when I went on the road tomorrow, I counted the money to the store together.

Chao Chong still let everyone rest at ease, meditating cross-legged and keeping vigil by himself, which has become a habit, and everyone knows that Chao Chong sleeps very comfortably at night.

When the rooster crowed, people were most sleepy, and there was a sound of Suo Suo outside the house, Chao Chong opened his eyes, gently hid by the wall, and listened attentively.

A voice said, "These people are very cautious, otherwise they would not have invited their brothers to do this business together." ”

Another voice said, "Well, then, we will divide the money on them, but we will take all the horses with us." ”

One said, "Just leave me two horses, right?" ”

Another voice said, "You have money, and you have six beef cattle, is it not enough?" Believe it or not, Lao Tzu cut down ...... with you."

When he heard the word "beef cattle" and thought of the ten catties of yellow beef he ate, Chao Chong felt a little sick to his stomach.

Cao Zheng, who was just about to go to sleep, quietly woke up, and suddenly saw a dark shadow from the moonlight on the window, and a one-foot-long bamboo pipe pierced the window paper, stretched in, and a faint light smoke came out.

It's not good, it's ecstasy smoke, Chao Chong didn't think much about it, and shouted: "Look for death!" A slap on the bamboo pipe. Outside the window, the man who was about to blow a cigarette was caught off guard, and the bamboo pipe ran down the man's throat, and the man snorted and fell to the ground and died.

Chao Chong's loud shout also woke up everyone sleeping in the house, and Chao Chong said loudly: "Brothers, copy weapons, this is a black shop, and there are many thieves outside!" After speaking, he grabbed his two-handed knife and rushed to the door of the house, pulled the door bolt open, carefully opened half of the door panel, saw that there was no one outside, did not dare to be careless, copied a bench in the house, and shouted: "Brothers, I will rush out to fight first." With that, he threw the bench out.

The thieves hiding on the left and right of the door saw things rushing out, and cut them with their knives like sluicegrass, and with two clicks, the bench was cut into three pieces with two knives. At the moment when the thieves were puzzled, Chao Chong also rushed out, pierced the left thief's chest, kept moving to the right, the blade of the knife was pulled out and held high above his head, and the head of the thief on the right side was slashed away. Only then did he look at a group of thieves under the moonlight outside the house, and said coldly: "Bold thieves, dare to make a move to kill for money, I will not spare your lives!"

Cao Zheng and Lei Ting in the house slept in their kimonos because they were afraid of accidents, and when they heard Chao Chong's shouting, they hurriedly got up, picked up their weapons and rushed out of the house. Looking through the moonlight, the black pressure on the opposite side could not suppress more than 30 people, and the steel knife in his hand thanked the moonlight for showing its brightness.

Chao Chong saw that all the brothers had arrived, and waved his knife and said, "Don't leave any of them!" "Leap into the crowd of thieves.

Thunder was short-tempered, and he was even more irritable when he was woken up in a sweet dream, and with a burst of shouting, the long-handled Pu knife cut a nearby thief in two, and the moss dish was poured on his body, which was somewhat sober, but he was even more ruthless in killing people.

Chao Yang danced the eight-point steel gun, the gun flew like a dragon, and the shadow of the gun was heavy in the moonlight, piercing the throats of the two thieves in a moment.

Chao Sheng did not show weakness, took off his strong bow, and used the method of quick thanks, only to see that the bowstring was pulled halfway and did not aim, so he quickly thanked it, the advantage of this is that the speed is fast enough, and the disadvantage is that the strength is insufficient and the accuracy is insufficient. But with Chao Sheng's current technology, even if the instant speed is faster, he can hit every shot, as for the strength, because the thieves are very close, and they are all wearing cloth clothes, even if the bowstring is pulled halfway, it is enough to pierce them.

The weapon in Cao Zheng's hand was a whistle stick, and he did not take the initiative to go forward to kill, but guarded Xie Jian's side of Chao Sheng, guarding him and stabbing the thieves who were close to Chao Sheng.

As for Li Kui, he fully demonstrated his potential to kill the demon king, and the two axes danced like the wind, killing people when they saw them, and after a while, five thieves were beheaded by Li Kui.

The thieves saw that the situation was not good and wanted to flee. How could Chao Chong let them get their wish, Chao Chong shouted: "Thunder is in charge of the left, Chao Yang is in charge of the right, Tie Niu is in charge of the front, and I will kill them in charge of the back." Chao Sheng and Cao Zheng are going to the backyard to get on the horse, and they must catch all these thieves! ”

The crowd sang loudly and led the command. Those thieves panicked, and there was still a possibility of breaking through when they got together to impact one place, but they were killed by four heroes in front and back, left and right, and they couldn't be restrained anymore and fled in all directions.

Although Chao Chong and the four of them guard the Quartet, there is only one person in each direction after all, how long can one person's arm span be, and how many people can be stopped with one weapon? After killing a few people, most of them still escaped through the net. Chao Chong said loudly: "Each is responsible for the direction, chase!" ”

At this time, Chao Sheng and Cao Zheng, who rode out of the backyard, also joined the pursuit ranks, especially Chao Sheng, he chased to the left, the speed of the horses was already very fast, plus Chao Sheng immediately Xie arrow, could not chase a hundred meters, and the thieves on the left were killed. So they turned back and pursued the thief.

Chao Chong chased people to a small forest, it can really be said that he killed a person in ten steps, leaving seven or eight corpses along the way, seeing that the leader of the thieves was about to flee to the woods, although there was moonlight at night, but once he entered the woods, it was more difficult to track, so Chao Chong was running, and the two-handed long knife was back behind him, a Su Qin back sword style, the body suddenly bowed, the long knife flew forward, flew out of six or seven zhang, and pierced the thief leader and nailed it to the tree.

Chao Chong breathed a sigh of relief, walked over and stepped on the thief's corpse, pulled out the long knife forcefully, shook his wrist, shook off all the traces on the knife, and inserted his backhand into the scabbard behind his back. Although this long knife can't kill people like a famous treasure knife, it can't stick to the dish, but if you shake it hard, it will not stick to the dish, and it is a good knife.

Back at the inn, Lei Ting had already returned, and after a while, Li Kui also came back, with six or seven heads hanging around his waist, and his clothes were all dyed by the dishes, and he shouted as he ran over: "Boss Chao, all of my side have been killed by me." Awesome, this is the kindness you paid for buying clothes for me, hahaha, what a happy life! ”

After a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and Chao Yang, Chao Sheng and Cao Zheng on horseback returned, and one person was tied to each of the two horses. No wonder they came back late, and they brought back two alive.

Bringing the two men to him, Thunder went to the house to get torches for lighting. Looking through the firelight, the two of them were Xiao Er with a pointed chin and a cook with a beard.

Chao Chong snorted coldly: "You two are so big! ”

Xiao Er, who had a sharp chin, knelt on the ground and cried: "Grandpa spares his life, his grandson is also forced, those bandits are arrogant and unreasonable, we are all coerced!" ”

Chao Chong kicked him down and said, "Do you think I didn't hear it? I think it is because you usually meet a lone pedestrian here and kill him, because we are too cautious and greedy for our money and horses, so we invite thieves to help. How can I spare a black shop like yours! Iron Bull, I'll leave it to you! ”

Li Kui smiled, carried two board axes, walked up to the two of them and said: "I said a long time ago, if you are honest, it will be fine, if you want to do that black shop, I will cut off your dog's head with these two board axes!" Die yourselves! After saying that, one axe, the two heads rolled out of the distance, the neck squirted out a dish, and the corpse fell down. Li Kui scolded: "Two dirty vessels, staining grandpa's axe." He stepped on the man's corpse and rubbed his axe against it.

After this trouble, the belly of the fish in the east turned white, and Cao Zheng said: "We are dirty, and it is difficult to explain when we see people, so you should change your clothes and then hurry." ”

Everyone went to the house to change their clothes, not to mention it for the time being, Li Kui's guy was rummaging around, and he really asked him to dig out twenty taels of silver from the store. Secretly in his arms and proud.

After changing clothes from the house, everyone was no longer sleepy, and decided to hurry immediately. Li Kui said: "There are a lot of good wine and meat in the store, let's bring some to eat on the way?" ”

Thinking of the "beef cattle" that the thief said, Chao Chong felt uncomfortable, but there was no need to say it to make everyone uncomfortable, so he said: "No need, we have silver taels, and it's just a burden to bring more things." ”

Li Kui was a little dissatisfied and said: "Then it's okay to bring some meat, and it's good to fill your stomach if you're hungry on the road." ”

Chao Chong snorted: "If you insist on taking this beef, keep the silver in your arms." ”

Li Kui said "ah", opened his mouth wide in surprise, and hurriedly changed his words: "Boss Chao is right, are you afraid that there will be no wine and meat if you have silver, hehehe." ”

Everyone went to the back of the house and took out the horses to ride, and said thunderously: "Big brother, what are you doing with the black shop that hurts people, let's set fire to this place, right?" ”

Chao Chong shook his head and said, "These corpses will be eaten by the beasts in the wilderness in a few days. Let's ignore it. As for this inn, where does the house come from with good and evil? Evil is man! Keep it, maybe you can still shelter those who are in a hurry in the future. ”

When everyone saw that Chao Chong had made up his mind, they stopped saying a word, and the group continued to go west.
