Chapter 35: Swords and Soldiers Meet
Mudun Island is not big, it is also four or five miles away, except for the small hill used as a cottage, the island is basically a slope depression, looking out from the mountain, at a glance, so when Wang Tao led people to run down from the hill, he didn't run a few steps, and saw a group of people rushing from the west of the island at a glance.
This group of people was violent, carrying knives and sticks, shouting and rushing over, the two leading ones, five big and three thick, strong and thick, were the two brothers of Zu Tianci and Zu Bian. At this time, one person copied a huge mace more than one person high, and the other held a ghost head knife with nine rings, staring at Wang Tao with a dark face as he walked.
Six eyes to each other, eyes touched, almost about to hit the fire, Wang Tao was angry from the heart, these two things that are not long-eyed, at this critical time can not distinguish between good and bad, you two ****** killed by the Manchurians, Lao Tzu still has a family, you are not willing to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty, just how far and how far you go, don't come to bad Lao Tzu's good deeds, now the knife and gun to kill the door, is there still me in the eyes of the big boss?
The people on both sides were surging like water, and under the leadership of each other's leaders, they soon arrived in front of them, and they all stood at the same time at the same time at a distance of more than a zhang.
This distance is quite close, so close that Zu Tianci and Zu Bian saw Wang Tao's new hairstyle at a glance, the unprofessionally shaved money rattail braided head, like a sledgehammer, hit the hearts of the two of them hard, and ruthlessly smashed the last trace of luck in the hearts of the two.
"Big brother, you ....."
"Shut up! You still know that I'm your big brother? Wang Tao roared and interrupted Zu Bian's questioning: "Who has the final say on this Hongze Lake, it is you two deserters!" Or am I the big brother? ”
Zu Bian's face rose, his face, which was already blackened by anger, turned red again, and he couldn't speak, Zu Tianci knew that his brother was not good at words, and he didn't know what to say when he was choked by Wang Tao, so he hurriedly said loudly: "You have the final say on Hongze Lake, when did the ancestor brother disobey the words of the eldest brother?" ”
Wang Tao's face softened slightly, and he asked, "What about now?" You two have brought so many brothers, is this going to fire me? ”
Zu Tianci hugged his fist at Wang Tao and said: "Where does Zu Tianci dare to fire and big brother, bring his brothers over, just want to save the eldest brother and kill Qinggou, so as not to fall for Qinggou's tricks!" ”
The green tendons on Wang Tao's forehead jumped up again, laughed angrily, and said with a cold face: "Okay, it turns out that you two are for my good!" Tell me, what plan does the Qing Dynasty have against me? ”
"Qinggou is capricious, the most cunning, the eldest brother has been operating on Hongze Lake for many years, and his wings have been completed, why bother to send Qinggou to his subordinates? Zhao'an today, tomorrow will slaughter me like a pig and dog, big brother, this is a trap. Zu Tianci said sincerely, saying that the water thieves on both sides of the scene exchanged heads, and some people kept nodding, obviously being said to be in their hearts. All the biographical novels and storytelling stories throughout the ages, such as the Water Margin Liangshan and the Song Dynasty General Fangla, none of the rebels who revolted had a good end after recruiting An, and the water thieves did not know a single word, but these deep-rooted storytelling stories were heard a lot.
"Fart!" Wang Tao said angrily: "Tuzuo has the royal order of Prince Yu, is that for fun?" The prince of the Qing Dynasty is full of words, will he swallow back what he said? You two villains are heart-wrenching, how do you spend the belly of a gentleman? ”
"Big brother, Zu Tianci has been in Liaodong for many years, and has fought with Qinggou a hundred times, and he knows the temperament of Qinggou best, and their father and son are still killed, what credit do they have to pay us Han? Besides, they call us Nanban, like the Yuan Dynasty, and regard us as the most inferior people, how can they be trustworthy to us? ”
"Humph! You are because the Manchurians killed your whole family, you are so slanderous, the ancestors God gave me to tell you, on the battle array, everyone is like a demon, killing people is a common thing, your whole family was killed, it was all a few years ago, time has passed, Daqing is about to dominate the world, you don't be obsessed, harm the lives and future of more than 3,000 brothers in Hongze Lake! ”
Wang Tao has now regarded Zhao'an as a life-saving straw, and he is determined to follow Li Tingyu's fake Tuhai to the black, and believes that the Qing Dynasty is his future backer.
Zu Tianci almost burst into tears, choked up: "Big brother, my two brothers fled from Liaodong to Huai'an, and they were rescued by the eldest brother, and they settled down here, the grace of the eldest brother, such as regenerating parents, should have lived and died with the eldest brother, but the eldest brother asked us to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, which was more ruthless than asking for our lives." ”
"And the eldest brother heroes gather righteousness, relying on a righteous word, that for the banner of Tianxingdao, how many hot-blooded men have been attracted, so that they have the prestige of the Hongzehu Righteous Army, if the eldest brother is rich in the future, he will lower the dog, what do the brothers think? Where is the meaning of the word? And how to explain to the brothers who have died over the years? ”
Wang Tao looked at Zu Tianci, his face was cold and he didn't speak, but his face became more and more ugly, and the spear in his hand swayed uncontrollably slightly, obviously angry to the extreme.
Zu Tianci looked up to the sky and sighed, and continued: "Since the eldest brother has shaved his hair, he must have made up his mind, and it is useless for Tianci to say it again, Tianci originally wanted to kill Qinggou first, and then commit suicide in front of the eldest brother, in order to clarify the ambition of the younger brother." But now it seems that even if the Qinggou is killed, the eldest brother will surrender. ”
Wang Tao said coldly: "Then how are you going to stay?" ”
Zu Tianci clenched his fists again sadly and said: "Since the Tao is different, we don't conspire with each other, the eldest brother is very kind, and I can only repay it again, so Tianci will leave with a group of brothers." ”
After saying that, Zu Tianci turned around and wanted to take people away, but he heard a loud shout behind him: "Don't think about it!" ”
Zu Tianci turned around suddenly, and saw Wang Tao's angry eyes wide, his face hideous, pointing at himself and scolding: "Okay, you white-eyed wolf, Lao Tzu has raised your brother for so many years, and after saying so much, just to leave!" Okay, you can go, but don't try to take a person with you, where the you're from, go back, don't try to take a piece of grass from here! ”
Zu Tianci looked around with a sad and angry face, and the water thieves who gathered around him also looked at him, looking at the dark faces, all of them were angry expressions, Zu Tianci's words just now have reached the hearts of everyone, benevolence and righteousness, saying such benevolent and righteous words, how can it not save Wang Tao's heart?
Zubian can't speak, his temper is much bigger than his brother's, Wang Tao's attitude of not advancing with oil and salt has already made him see it clearly, the words have come to this point, it is useless to say more, then Zubian jumped up, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, you are willing to go with my brother, squeak!" ”
"I do!"
"I do!"
"Brother Zu will take me with you!"
"Me too, Brother Zu is not here, and I don't want to stay in this cottage!"
Like boiling water, the sound of one after another erupted in the crowd, countless people raised their hands and shouted, these people are all people trained by the ancestral brothers, for the ancestral brothers who roll with them, they have very deep feelings, and Wang Tao, the big boss, is more high, majestic is there, but in terms of feelings, Wang Tao can't catch up with the ancestral brothers.
Wang Tao's face can no longer change, the black can no longer be black, the violent character broke out in vain, the domineering that has been rampant in the world for a long time makes him no longer able to bear the flagrant disobedience of his subordinates in front of him, he swung his spear, pulled a spear, and moved without warning.
"Follow me! Slaughter these white-eyed wolves! Wang Tao roared, and rushed over first, and the tip of the spear was pointed at by Zu Tianci.
There was a distance of more than a zhang between the two, and the white dragon in the waves was really not famous, and as soon as his feet moved, his body had already jumped out, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zu Tianci's eyes, and the spear was stretched out, facing Zu Tianci's throat.
On the side of Zu Tianci's body, the bright iron spearhead pierced into Zu Tianci's left shoulder, and the iron spear passed through the body, and with a "poof" sound, it pierced through the back shoulder, splashing a cloud of blood mist.
Zu Tianci grabbed the mace in his left hand, lifted it up with his right hand, and before Wang Tao pulled out the spear, he firmly grasped the spear shaft, and the spear seemed to be nailed to his body, unable to shake.
Staring at the big blood-red eyes, looking at Wang Tao, who was still trying to pull out the spear, Zu Tianci said in a deep voice: "Big brother, do you really want to see each other?" ”
Wang Tao shook it a few times, and found that Zu Tianci's big hand was holding the spear like an iron plastic, and he couldn't take it back at all, so he simply let go and took a step back, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and said with a cruel smile: "Swords and soldiers meet?" That's what you thought when you brought someone here? Stop talking nonsense, come on, let me see how bold you really are! ”
At this time, the water thieves on both sides woke up from the shock, and Wang Tao's action just now was too sudden, and no one thought of it. After all, the three masters are the masters of the cottage, no one thought that they would kill each other anyway, at this time, the bosses began to work hard, and the little brother couldn't just look at it, so he shouted, and the water thieves in their respective camps were surging like a tide, swords and guns came out, and they turned their faces and slashed up.
The people on both sides had a tacit understanding and did not bother Wang Tao and Zu Tianci, soldier to soldier, general to general, and the fixed pattern of fighting in ancient times. The grievances of the bosses let them go and settle them on their own.
Wang Tao struck a successful blow, and saw that Zu Tianci still had a spear on his shoulder, he sneered, and the long sword flew over, and the tip of the sword turned into a white shadow, and rolled towards Zu Tianci.
Zu Tianci was extremely sad and indignant at the moment, his hatred was monstrous, his hatred was that he couldn't convince Wang Tao, and his sadness was that the banner of the Hongze Lake Righteous Army was afraid that it would be carried to the end today. couldn't help but roar into the sky, threw away the mace in his hand, grabbed the spear shaft on his shoulder with both hands, and the shoulder muscles bulged, struggling to break it alive!
This scene is not much worse than the scene where Xiahou drew an arrow and swallowed his eyes, the severed spearhead part was still hanging on the back shoulder and trembling and swaying, and the blood from the wound spurted out a column of blood like a fountain, almost shooting into the eyes of Wang Tao, who jumped over with a sword, forcing Wang Tao to quickly stop and avoid it sideways.
Zu Bian shouted anxiously from the side: "Big brother, how is it?" "He slashed through a spear-wielding water thief, and was about to run over.
Zu Tianci shook his head and said coldly: "It's just a small injury, it's not in the way!" "He stretched out a hand, tore off a piece of his garment, and casually plugged it up at the wound, yes, like a sack to a that had been washed away by a flood.
The blood was no longer sprayed, but the brown linen placket was immediately dyed red, and Zu Tianci's face gradually turned pale.
