Chapter 14: The Road Meets Li Kui
Chao Chong's two-handed Baipi knife was hit hard in the thunder battle, and the edge was somewhat damaged, and under the thunder's iron-striking skills, a layer of iron was wrapped at the edge of the blade, which was the steel that the people of the Celestial Dynasty said, which reminded Chao Chong of Wang Mazi's kitchen knife in the hometown of the Celestial Empire, which was also a steel-clad work, strong and durable.

After the ninth day of the ninth month of September, after drinking juhua wine, Chao Chong decided to go to the rivers and lakes to have a look. For this reason, he made some adjustments to the personnel of the Chao family's escort team. In a year and a half, Chao Chong, Chao Yang, and Chao Sheng have a high prestige in the escort team, after all, they are the veterans who were created single-handedly. Even if the three of them are gone, the mark of Chao Chong in the escort team will always be preserved.
Therefore, Chao Chong promoted Chen Cheng, who had always been loyal, to the head of the Chao family's escort team, which made Chen Cheng grateful. Later, two captains of the pikemen and Pak Daowei were selected by means of a competition, and a captain of the archers was selected through the competition, and Chao Gai personally sealed them and accepted their allegiance.
Chao Chong, Chao Yang and Chao Sheng, who came out of their backgrounds, plus the thunder from the county seat, decided to advance and retreat together and go outside to see the world together.
Chao Gai and the winged tiger Lei Heng did not object, the rivers and lakes are a dangerous place, like a man-eating swamp, which will inadvertently swallow people without leaving a trace. But in the same way, Jianghu is a melting pot, which can smelt scrap iron into jing steel, peel off impurities, and show real gold.
Chao Gai prepared for them four good horses, five hundred taels of silver. The four teenagers were full of ambition and wrapped their clothes on their backs, straddled their horses and hung knives and left Dongxi Village.
The first time I left my relatives, it was a lie for the four of them to say in their hearts that they were not nervous, it was more of a kind of confusion, the rivers and lakes are so big, where should they go?
Thunder has a violent and irritable personality, but he loves face very much, and although he is confused in his heart, he does not say it easily.
Chao Yang has a resolute personality, and since he followed Chao Gai to practice martial arts, his personality is also imitating Chao Gai, and he has become more and more calm.
Only Chao Sheng's temperament jumped out, and he said a little impatiently: "Young Master, you have a plan in your heart, right?" We all came out with you, and you will take care of us, right? If we go on like this, we won't live in the middle of nowhere, will we? ”
Chao Chong pointed at Chao Sheng with a horsewhip and said: "Fourth, remember, when we walk in the rivers and lakes, we can no longer use the title of the village, we must call me the eldest brother according to the rules of the rivers and lakes!" ”
Chao Sheng grinned, and said on the horse: "The eldest brother is above, and the younger brother is polite!" ”
Lei Ting laughed and said: "The first half of the sentence is like a man, and the second half of the sentence is like a crepe girl, fourth, are you a man or a woman?" ”
Chao Sheng smiled and said, "Isn't this easy to do?" I'll show you the evidence! After saying that, he began to untie his ku belt.
The calm Chao Yang was also a little embarrassed when he saw it, and hurriedly dissuaded: "The fourth can't, it's in broad daylight!" ”
Lei Ting also smiled: "There are not many pedestrians on the road, but there are occasional people passing by, in case a big family daughter passes by and sees it, won't there be an eye for a needle!" If you want to die or live again, you don't marry, see how you end! ”
Chao Sheng grinned and said, "I have to show you the evidence!" Who makes you wonder if I'm a man or a woman! ”
Chao Chong looked at Chao Sheng pretending, knowing that this stinky boy was thinking of bad ideas again, and if it was a loss, he would never do it.
Chao Sheng unbuttoned the belt of his trousers, took out a piece of paper from the belt of the belt, and read after unfolding it: "Yuncheng County Road Guide: There is a common man from Dongxi Village, Yuncheng, Chao Sheng, male, seventeen years old, who travels abroad, and uses this as a basis. "There is also a bright red county government seal on it. Chao Sheng shook the road proudly and said: "How about it, take it now, this is certified by the county government, and there is a big seal as a basis!" ”
The floating population of the Great Song Dynasty is very large, and the management is relatively relaxed, allowing the population to move and settle down in the local area. However, there are still some necessary formalities, and of course the government is not so strict. Like those who killed people and fled, they were black households, but the city inn still lived, and the people did not sue the officials and did not hold them accountable. Chao Chong is a serious person, and it is the first time to break into the rivers and lakes, so Chao Gai has brought them a way to guide them in case of emergency.
Thunder pouted and said, "What, I thought you were going to take out your little brother." ”
Chao Sheng took the opportunity to tease: "Hey, young people now, what are you thinking about all day long!" looks like a sanctuary, but his heart is so dirty. There are fewer and fewer good young people like me. After speaking, he shook his head, looking cynical. Later, in order to reduce the surface of the blow, he brought in an alliance by the way, and Chao Sheng continued: "Of course, the eldest brother is also a serious person, so he didn't want to be crooked." ”
Seeing Lei Ting and Chao Yang deflated, Chao Chong couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." I had a clear goal in mind for this trip. Have you ever heard the story of Lin Chong, the leader of the 800,000 forbidden army? ”
Chao Sheng was still positive, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "I know, I know!" ”
Lei Ting said: "I also heard my brother say that Lin Chong is a master in Tokyo, but he was framed by the traitor Gao Yu, and now he is in Liangshanbo." ”
The calm Chao Yang interjected: "It is said that I am very angry with Wang Lun, the white-clothed showman. ”
Chao Chong nodded and said, "Since you have heard of it, then I will tell you his story in detail." After that, according to the content of the Water Margin that he saw in the Celestial Empire, Chao Chong told how Gao Yanei ** Lin Chong's wife, how Lin Chong was betrayed by Lu Yuhou, how Lu Zhishen acted bravely, how Gao Yu framed Lin Chong into the White Tiger Hall, how Lu Zhishen rescued Lin Chong in the Wild Boar Forest, Lin Chong was angry at the Fengxue Mountain Temple, and how he was bullied by Wang Lun in Liangshan. The crowd listened with relish.
After the story was told, Lei Ting couldn't help but say: "Damn Gao Yanei, you should be high!" ”
Chao Yang, who values his friend's righteousness the most, also raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "A friend like Lu Yuhou really deserves to be cut by a thousand knives!" People like Lu Zhishen really can't wait to see each other immediately! ”
Chao Sheng said: "I didn't expect Sect Leader Lin to have such an experience. ”
Lei Ting hated and said: "Although Lin Jiaotou is a hero, he is too cowardly, if it were me, I would definitely kill that Gao Yu father and son, and kill this Wang Lun Xiucai!" ”
Chao Chong was filled with indignation when he saw everyone, and continued: "Sect Chief Lin is different from you and me, he has an official position and a family to care about, just like having a pair of shackles, he can't do whatever he wants. But that doesn't stop him from being respected. I also have the experience of Lin Jiaotou, so the direction of this trip is set in Tokyo, the purpose is to rescue Lin Chong's wife, and punish Gao Yanei by the way. The goal is very clear, are the brothers willing to follow me into the tiger's den in Longtan, Tokyo? ”
The three of them applauded in unison, young and hot-blooded, lawless and young.
But after continuing to ride a horse, Chao Sheng couldn't help asking, "Big brother, are you sure we're going to Tokyo?" ”
Chao Chong nodded and said, "Of course!" ”
Chao Sheng frowned and said, "Are you sure you are not going the wrong way!" ”
Chao Chong nodded and said, "That's right! ”
Lei Ting couldn't stand it anymore on the side, and interjected: "Big brother, since you are going to Tokyo, you are naturally going west, Tokyo Kaifeng is five hundred miles away from us, I still know this." But why are we heading east? ”
Chao Chong smiled: "It seems that you have already started to use your brains. Then let me ask you, which of you knows Lin Chong's wife? ”
The three shook their heads.
Chao Chong continued: "Which of us does Lin Chong's lady know? ”
The three of them still shook their heads.
Chao Chong said: "Isn't this over, our eyes are black, how to act." Even if she inquired about Lin Chong's wife's residence, how could she be willing to run away with the four strange men of us, she was a woman? So on this trip, of course, I had to find acquaintances. ”
Chao Sheng reacted and said: "I understand, eldest brother is going to Liangshanbo to find Lin Chong to write a letter!" ”
Chao Chong used his horsewhip to say a little: "Wrong! Liangshan is a den of thieves, how can you go up as much as I want, even if you go, how can Lin Chong believe that we four young people with no hair on their mouths? ”
Thunder muttered on the side: "Big brother doesn't have a beard, I have!" ”
Chao Chong smiled: "Shut up! I'm just using an analogy. So this trip I didn't go to Lin Chong, but to Cao Zheng, the Cao Dao ghost in Caojiazhuang. That person is from Kaifeng Mansion, and he is a disciple of Lin Chong, so it is naturally much more convenient for him to lead the way, and more importantly, Cao Zheng is familiar with us and can be trusted! ”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that it turned out that Xiang Dong was Cao Zheng who went to find Caojiazhuang.
When he arrived at Caojiazhuang, it was already dark, and Cao Zheng was also very excited when he found Cao Zheng to tell him his purpose. The master's family was killed, but as a disciple, he didn't help much, and his low martial arts skills were a reason, but after all, he felt guilty. Seeing that Chao Chong and these outsiders are willing to contribute, of course they can't lag behind. Everyone ate and drank at Cao Zheng's house for one night, and the next day Chao Chong bought a black mule on the village for Cao Zheng's mount, and a group of five people went west, aiming at Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo.
Yuncheng is 280 kilometers away from Kaifeng, Tokyo, and if the Celestial Empire takes a train, it will take less than four hours. But in the Song Dynasty, the distance between the prefectures was not calculated according to the straight-line distance, and the horseback riding was more than eighty miles a day, plus everyone was full of fun, the speed was even slower, and it was impossible to reach Tokyo without ten days and a half months.
On this day, walking to the boundary of Dingtao Land, passing by a dense forest, the five people talked and laughed and hurried away, but Cao Zheng said to dissuade him: "Brothers, be careful, this barren mountain and angry forest is the most prone to robbers, but don't follow their way!" Along the way, Cao Zheng's experience in the rivers and lakes provided a lot of convenience to everyone, so Chao Chong was still convinced by his words, so he reminded Lei Ting to be cautious.
Thunder said disapprerovingly: "Afraid of the ball!" It's been three days since we came out, and we haven't had a single fight, which is really unpleasant. I have been looking forward to a group of bandits jumping out, let us do chivalrous righteousness, and eliminate harm for the people? ”
As soon as the words fell, a thunderous roar sounded, "I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live from here, leave to buy road money." If the root of the tooth pops out of half of the word, it will be buried regardless of the killing, ahhhhhhhhh ”
Looking at the black-faced man in front of him, wielding a pair of axes, singing and dancing alone in the middle of the road, everyone was not afraid, but faintly excited. Only Cao Zheng was cautious, looking around to see if there were any bandit accomplices in ambush, but after watching for a long time, he didn't find any movement, and couldn't help but wonder, is there only one bandit robber?
The bandit was a big black man, as strong as a black bear, with a red beard, wearing only shorts, a hemp rope tied around his waist, and shirtless, revealing his black iron muscles. It's September now, and the weather is a little cold at night, I don't know how this big man spends his night? Is it because of the black body hair on the body?
Everyone didn't get off the horse, Chao Chong crouched on the horse's back and looked at the big man mockingly: "You want to rob money, how much do you want?" Name the number. ”
The big black man smiled and said, "I'm afraid!" Grandpa wants it all, hear no, all! After speaking, he pointed at the thunder and said: "Also, also, that big man is about the same height as me, I want your pants, and I want a top!" After that, he pointed at Chao Chong and said, "Also, also, I want your horse with a little white face." ”
Everyone laughed, and Chao Chong laughed: "Do you want anything else?" ”
When the big black man saw everyone laughing, he said angrily: "Laugh a bird! What's so funny. ”
Chao Chong smiled: "Because we are very happy, we finally met a hero, you must be a famous hero, I don't know if you can tell your name?" ”
The big black man snorted coldly: "You think I'm stupid, how can I tell you the name of my Black Whirlwind Li Kui!" ”
Thunder said to Chao Chong: "Big brother, I'll come!" I've been holding it back for a long time. ”
When Chao Chong heard Li Kui's name, he was slightly excited. Take a look
Name: Li Kui (Black Whirlwind)
Health: 2980/2980 (thick-skinned beast)
Commander-in-Chief: 26
Force: 94
Intelligence: 4
Politics:1
Glamour: 22
Affinity: Contempt
Traits: Fierce (likes bloody battles, shouting endlessly)
It's such a powerful attribute, and his health is stronger than his father Chao Gai, this is a character who is getting braver and braver the more he fights. In terms of force alone, everyone will not be Li Kui's opponent.
But the question is, what kind of trouble does Li Kui's 4-point attribute of intelligence want to make trouble?
It's even worse than when I was the most rubbish two years ago.
Although low intelligence does not mean that Li Kui is stupid, it also shows from the side that his moves should not be so complicated.
As long as he doesn't compete with Li Kui for physical strength and strength, there should still be hope for him to win. Recalling the details of Yan Qing's win over Li Kui in the book, Chao Chong was relieved.
Chao Chong was afraid that the thunder would suffer from their carelessness, so he threw the saddle and dismounted, saying, "I'll come!" ”
didn't take a knife, walked towards Li Kui with his bare hands, and when he got closer, he said, "All I give you is a fist!" ”
The black man Li Kui said angrily: "You bluff me! ”
The left-hand plate axe rounded the head of Chao Chong, and the right-hand plate axe was charged, he was not stupid, he knew that the person on the other side dared to walk towards him with his bare hands, there must be some martial arts, so the left-handed axe looked powerful but it was actually a false move, as long as the other party made a dodge action, the plate axe in the right hand would be cut out, and the little white face on the opposite side would be cut into two sections, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart!
Chao Chong had already seen Li Kui's careful thinking, not only did he not dodge, but he shot quickly, grabbed the opponent's wrist, twisted his body, and turned to Li Kui's back, Li Kui's left hand was also forcibly twisted to the back, Chao Chong snatched his axe, threw it aside, and kicked Li Kui's back.
Li Kui really didn't expect that his strength advantage had not been exerted, and he was kicked behind him by the extremely fast little white face, and the huge strength made him fall head-on, and he slid on the ground for more than a foot, Li Kui felt that his face full of manhood was broken, which made him even more angry. Ignoring his injuries, he got up from the ground and slashed at Chao Chong with an axe with one hand.
Facing such an angry person is like facing an enraged bear, and a calm hunter is more advantageous. Chao Chong quickly took the lead, grabbed the white blade with an empty hand, took away Li Kui's right hand axe, threw it into the distance, stumbled Li Kui with his feet, and said with a smile: "What else do you have to do, use it!" ”
Li Kui only screamed, and rushed up to fight Chao Chong. Chao Chong, who has seen the Water Margin, has long known that Li Kui is a fierce general, but the technique of fighting alone can only be regarded as rough, and this fight confirms his guess, the strength is incomparable, but the martial arts skills are too rough, usually relying on this crazy energy, the fist can also kill the master. But once he meets someone who sees through his reality, he is tragic.
Chao Chong used hand-to-hand wrestling and knocked Li Kui down again and again. But Li Kui, who had thick skin and thick meat, didn't care at all, got up and continued to fight.
When the two of them played two sticks of incense, Li Kui didn't know how many times he was fallen. But they are still alive and vibrant, and they were dumbfounded when they saw Chao Sheng, Chao Yang and Thunder, fortunately it was Brother Chao Chong who played, otherwise anyone who changed would be tired of Li Kui first.
Chao Chong saw that the time had dragged on too long, and Li Kui's battle mode had already been figured out, so he decided to end the battle.
He saw Li Kui slamming his fist into the door of his face, and with a pull of his left hand, he raised the arm he hit, and punched his right fist at his subribal joint, and Li Kui dislocated one of his arms.
But Li Kui still didn't admit defeat, gritted his teeth and waved a single punch, Chao Chong was not polite, the same trick dislocated his other arm. After kicking his hun mouth, Li Kui Hun was bored and couldn't stand up, lying on the ground and humming.
Chao Chong said to Chao Yang and them: "Pick up his arms and tie them to the official mansion to receive the reward!" ”
For Li Kui, Chao Chong loves his straightforwardness and heroism very much, but now Li Kui is like a beast, he needs to be domesticated and **, otherwise it will not be good if he is really used to being a killer demon king by Song Jiang in the Water Margin.
