"Commissar Bi!" Lu Caiting added on the side; "We have many gangs and rangers here, as well as some bandits, they are all top masters of martial arts, and their special skills are beyond people's reach, as long as we standardize professional training, they can achieve the results we expect, and they are not even lower than the special combat team trained by **** formal training. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 He said with some excitement, his sword eyebrows raised, his eyes shining, and the chill overflowing, and his expression was full of confidence.

Bi Xingzhou smiled heartily and affirmed loudly; "Okay, I believe in you, let's wait and see, I fully believe that your Jianghu special combat team is indomitable, can brilliantly complete all kinds of difficult tasks, and play the prestige of our New Fourth Army, we not only want to let little Japan, the puppet army traitors hear this name, they will be frightened, the wind is loud, and the grass and trees are all soldiers, but also let the Kuomintang see that although our communist army is poorly equipped, it also has a first-class excellent special combat team! Also, it is called the Jianghu Special Combat Team, which has a good name and has a certain appeal, which shows that the power of the Jianghu is also resisting Japan under the unity and leadership of our Communist Party! ”

Li Manjiang also quipped with great interest; "All of your Jianghu special combat team have unique skills, all of them have martial arts, as long as they are sharpened a little, they can be sharp and born in the near future, if our detachment needs it in the future, please support it vigorously."

"Chief of Staff Li's family said that," Lu Caiting replied with a smile; "When the time comes, as long as you need it, give an order, and we will help you wholeheartedly!"

At this time, Daddy Qin stood up and said to Lin Zhifeng; "Political Commissar Lin, your battalion and that team have been arranged, and my old man will also ask for a battalion or team?"

"Oh," Lin Zhifeng couldn't help but look at him with his eyes when he heard him say this, and asked in surprise; "Daddy is so old, can he still march and fight?" With her questioning, everyone's eyes looked at Daddy Qin.

Daddy Qin smacked his lips and replied confidently; "Carrying a gun to fight, our old bones are no longer useful, but I can forge swords for you in the rear, I specially invited a few old guys this time, they have all worked in Muyang Iron Mine Factory to make guns and cannons before, we will not only forge swords for you this time, but also make grenades and ......mines for you."

Before Daddy Qin finished speaking, Bi Xingzhou stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said excitedly; "Old comrade, your idea and proposal are too good, yes, we can build our own, build a large number of mines, especially mines, it plays an important role in the devil's sweep of the countryside, so that the devil can not move an inch, after I go back this time, I also want to learn from you, build a mine and grenade squad in our detachment, old comrade, is it difficult to build these things?"

Daddy Qin narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before replying; "It's not difficult, listen to my guys, the mountains and rocks in the area behind the general Ao contain a large amount of iron ore and saltpeter, we can extract iron from iron ore, saltpeter and potassium nitrate for making explosives, we don't have enough iron, we can also add iron ore to the mine filler, after the explosion, the lethality is also powerful."

Ning Chenlong smiled and comforted Daddy Qin; "Dad, don't worry, I still have a few young people from the Northeast here, they have worked in the Shenyang Arsenal, and I will work with you when the time comes."

At this time, a villager walked in and said to Zhao Sihai; "Village Chief, the venue is fully arranged, everyone is waiting in the dam, and the meeting can be held."

The empty dam was crowded with people, all eyes were on the stage, people were looking forward to it, Bi Xingzhou, Li Manjiang, Duan Xingguo, Zhao Sihai and other groups stood in front of the long table set up on the stage, facing the crowd, the leaders of the three detachments were all gray military uniforms, military hats, particularly conspicuous.

Zhao Sihai raised his arm and waved his hand, speaking in his rough and majestic voice; "Folks, now I invite Comrade Bi Xingzhou, political commissar of the Suxi Detachment of the New Fourth Army, to speak!"

A warm applause broke out in the empty dam, Bi Xingzhou raised his arms and waved to show his gratitude to everyone, and after the applause gradually subsided, he spoke aloud; "Comrades, folks! Now that the Japanese imperialists have launched a criminal war of aggression against our country, they have already reached our doorstep, forcibly occupied our fields and homes, raped and plundered, and innocently killed our relatives and compatriots. What are we going to do? We don't want to be slaves! Therefore, we must resist, we must unite to fight against the Japanese invaders, until we drive them out of China, and at this critical moment for the nation, our Communist Party has come forward, firmly raised the banner of resistance against Japan, and also called on the people of the whole country to rise up to resist Japan, which is obvious to all in China and even in the whole world! Our Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army are the people's army, the army of your people, and the army of resistance against Japan! Now the little devils and the traitor puppet army are carrying out township sweeping activities everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and we must smash the rampant activities of the devils and traitors and deal a heavy blow! The New Fourth Army is developing and growing, and in response to the needs of the struggle, we have set up another independent column of the New Fourth Army in the Mongolian and Mongolian areas, and now, on behalf of the Mongolian regional party committee and the Soviet and Anhui military sub-districts, I announce that the New Fourth Army's independent column of the Mongolian Mountains has been formally established! ”

Political Commissar Bi's sonorous and agitated voice resounded in the sky, and then the crowd burst into applause and cheers.

Li Manjiang also waved his hand and spoke; "Comrades, this army has just been established, and we still have to face many difficulties in front of us, but we should not be afraid, we must believe in the masses of the people, believe in our party, we will definitely temper ourselves in the struggle, stand out, become strong, your equipment and clothing supplies, our party organization is raising donations everywhere, and it will be solved for you soon," he paused, cleared his throat, and continued to say in a loud voice; "Now, on behalf of the party organizations and military sub-divisions, I announce the list of leaders of the New Fourth Army's Mengshan Anti-Japanese Independent Column, with Comrade Lin Zhifeng as the political commissar, Comrade Zhao Sihai as the captain, Comrade Lu Caiting as the deputy captain, Comrade Ning Chenlong as the chief of staff, and Comrade Duan Xingguo as the military instructor!"

There was applause again, cheers, gongs and drums, the mountains responded, the earth trembled, Lin Zhifeng, Zhao Sihai, Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, Duan Xingguo and other five people also raised their hands to let everyone know.

The crowd was boiling passionately and began to move, Lin Zhifeng saw this, and hurriedly arranged loudly; "Comrades, fellow villagers, everyone be quiet, you see, there are tables on the left and right sides of the stage, local folks, please go to the right table to register for the army, and comrades from outside to sign up for the army at the left table."

After a period of commotion, the crowd naturally formed two rows of people to sign up for the army in order, and after signing up for the army, the villagers immediately put on a big red flower for him, and the scene was really joyful, elated, and unique.

The leaders who presided over the meeting on the rostrum were also moved to tears by the scene in front of them, they did not expect that in this remote corner of the mountain village, people's anti-Japanese sentiment would be so high, and even a little urgent, and they sincerely supported the Communist Party and the New Fourth Army.

Inside the empty dam because people were lining up on both sides, the middle was empty, at this time, seven or eight big men with guns and ammunition boxes strode panting, and the first man was a man with open chest and sleeves, and there was a green python embroidery on his chest and arms, he carried a dozen rifles, and some short guns and binoculars hung around his neck, and he looked rough and fierce, and he ripped open his throat and shouted; "Little Qinglong, Second Young Master Lu!"

Lu Caiting also recognized these men at a glance on the rostrum, it was a group of green forest bandits rescued from the guns of the devil puppet army in the woods on the bank of the Yuma River that night, they also occupied a camp in a cave near Jiangjun'ao, and promised to let them join the independent column of the New Fourth Army that night, but they did not expect that they would keep their promises and move their own family resources.

Lu Caiting turned around and said to Lin Zhifeng; "Fourth sister, this is a group of bandits, they are willing to join our column, and I promised them, you see that they have sent us so many weapons and ammunition, which can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow."

Lin Zhifeng glanced at the person who came, roughly estimated the guns and ammunition, and immediately exclaimed in surprise; "Alas, fifty or sixty guns, more than a dozen boxes of ammunition, what a gift, let's go meet them, Lao Zhao, all weapons must be kept in a centralized and proper manner, registered, and found the most reliable person to take care of them, and distribute them uniformly when the time comes."

A group of people hurriedly walked off the rostrum, stepped forward to greet the heroes who came to send guns and ammunition, this line of people is the general Ao Jiuqu Cave of the green forest Ma Pang Si Python and a group, Lu Caiting to both sides of the introduction of everyone one by one, the two sides admired the greetings, the words were very speculative, Bi Xingzhou, Li Manjiang was even more happy, they also looked at the young deputy captain Lu Caiting found by Lin Zhifeng, just this large number of weapons and ammunition is greedy, there is also a Japanese army crooked machine gun, Zhao Sihai immediately ordered someone to move the guns and ammunition to the designated warehouse.

A villager came to report to Zhao Sihai; "Captain, all the registration for joining the army has been completed, and now it is almost noon, and the villagers have set up the wine and food in the ancestral hall, after we finish eating, we will arrange the company, platoon, and squad in the afternoon."

Zhao Sihai immediately warmly invited everyone; "Let's go, today is a great day, let's have a few drinks happily."

Lin Zhifeng also instructed Ning Chenlong; "Comrade Xiao Ning, after dinner, I will fill in the names of several heroes and arrange them into the third battalion."

"Wait," Pang Si Python suddenly stopped Lu Caiting and said anxiously; "Brother Lu, there is one more thing I am afraid I have to rely on you to rescue, that night we attacked the devil's grain convoy, the brothers were scattered, and then they all came back one after another, fortunately, there were not a few deaths, but now I get the news that several brothers were chased by the devils to the Horseshoe Bay area of the Yuma River, although they escaped the pursuit of the devils, but they were tied up as bandits by the people in the Horseshoe Bend area, and I heard that they will be beheaded in the next two days...... Among them are my brother 'Mammoth Giant Elephant' Cao Jiu and his sister Cao Shimei, we are friends for the rest of our lives......"

"Oh, there is such a thing," Lu Caiting pondered for a moment, relieved; "Fourth Brother Pang, don't worry, the Horseshoe Bay and Womatan are all members of the Zhu family, and there are martial arts predecessors 'Dividing Water Jiaolong' Zhu Pengsheng and his pair of daughters 'Langli Furong' Zhu Ran and 'Thousand Hands and Hundred Spirits' Zhu Ke. Zhu Meng, the 'vigorous and fierce' of Horseshoe Bay, they are all heroes and heroes with chivalrous hearts, although the brothers are not familiar with them, but I Qinglongtang because of the water transportation business, and they have a good relationship, moreover, the second lady of Woma Beach Zhu Ke just visited me, I immediately went to Horseshoe Bay with Hu'er, and told them to be righteous, if it doesn't work, I will come back to call people, even if they want to rob them back. ”

Lin Zhifeng looked at Lu Caiting, a little worried; "Is it a bit weak for the two of you to go, you don't want to choose a few people to go together, I'm afraid this is also caused by the bandits during these periods, everyone has a deep view of the green forest friends, there is a misunderstanding in the middle, the behavior on the green forest road should be treated separately, can not be generalized, you have to explain to them patiently."

Lu Caiting nodded in agreement; "Fourth sister, don't worry, I am measured, the reason why I don't want too many people is to show our sincerity." As it was, he turned to Ning Chenlong and commanded; "You and the political commissar, the captain is a good student to treat my fourth brother Pang, and that tiger should also give him a big name, just call him Lu Xiaohu, you go and change the roster later."

Zhao Sihai also said to Lu Caiting; "Deputy Captain, don't worry, I will treat these friends well, and our party's policy is also to unite all forces that can be united, go early and return early."

Lu Caiting also resigned to Political Commissar Bi, Chief of Staff Li, and Instructor Duan, and then called Lu Xiaohu down the mountain in the crowd, in fact, Pang Sipython and his party were in the general Ao Jiuqu Cave next to Dongqiao Village to occupy the mountain as the king, but their rabbits do not eat the grass next to the nest and never harass Dongqiao Village, so the villagers here are not disgusted with them.

Lu Caiting and Lu Xiaohu walked quickly down the mountain and went straight to Horseshoe Bend on the bank of the Yuma River.

Horseshoe Bay, Woma Beach all belong to the jurisdiction of Shuangji Town, there are more than 3,000 households, although the two market towns are not big, but they are also teahouses and wineries, commercial banks and shops are readily available, the people here live very richly, there are crops on the shore, the river can be fished and harvested, but after the Japanese devils came, the continuous collection of grain and various harsh taxes also made the people here angry.

Lu Caiting and Lu Xiaohu soon inquired about Zhu Meng's address in the market town, came to the Zhu family's compound, and explained their intentions to Zhuang Ding at the station gate, and Zhuang Ding immediately went in to report to the owner.

Less leaning, a few people came out of the gate, the first man, about thirty years old, majestic, broad shoulders and three pavilions, round head full, thick eyebrows like a knife, leopard sideburns knotted next to the ears, waist tied with a leather soft belt, placket open, rough and strong, he was followed by a young man in his twenties, also dressed in a short dress, tiger eyes and leopard eyes, aggressive.

Another girl wearing a lotus-colored shirt, a dark green luan belt around her waist, and black velvet shoes embroidered with larks also followed him, not someone else, it was the 'Thousand Hands and Hundred Spirits' Zhu Ke who went to Shuangji Town to visit Lu Caiting, she had sharp eyes, and saw that the visitor outside the gate was Lu Caiting, and hurriedly walked out of front of the door, clasped her fists and saluted; ”

Lu Caiting clenched his fists and saluted back; "Miss Zhu is still beautiful, she should have a good time recently, Lu does not lose his promise, and he has the courage to visit Guizhuang today, which is enough to comfort his hunger and thirst in life."

The two men in the back also came to the gate, and Zhu Ke pointed to the leading man to lead the way; "This is my cousin, Zhu Meng, the 'strong and fierce' of Horseshoe Bay." Then he pointed to another young man and continued to introduce him; "My cousin's nephew, Zhu Biao."

Lu Caiting hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted; "The lord of Zhu Zhuang is famous far and wide, shocking the rivers and lakes, the brothers have long been famous, admired for a long time, today I took the liberty to come to disturb, one admired the wishes, the other was abrupt, and I hope that the main body of Zhu Zhuang will forgive me."

Zhu Meng, the leader of the man, saw that the young man in front of him had a lot of courtesy, and he was handsome and handsome, and he already liked it in his heart, so he also hugged his fists and saluted back; "Brother Xian doesn't have to be polite, you are a person from Qinglong Hall, your brother Da Qinglong also has a deep friendship with us, Zhu welcomes Brother Xian to come."

Zhu Ke said with a smile on the side; "Brother Mengzi, this little Qinglong is my honored guest, you have to treat him well."

"Well, how dare my sister's guest be slow?" Zhu Meng said as he turned around and instructed Zhu Biao; "Biaozi, go to the kitchen to arrange and prepare a table of wine and food." He speaks loudly, which shows that he has a bold and upright personality.

Zhu Biao went straight to the kitchen, Lu Caiting, and Lu Xiaohu stepped into the courtyard with their masters and walked into the hall of the central hall.

There is an old man sitting on the left of the first place in the hall of the middle hall, the old man's temples are slightly frost white, and there is a pair of short beards under his head, and the forehead angle is slightly out, but he is in good spirits and heroic.

There is also a girl sitting on the row of Taishi chairs on the left side of the head, with her hair pulled high behind her head into a fishtail wave, a pear-shaped face, thin eyebrows and curved eyebrows, a pair of big watery eyes, warm veins, white lining, light emerald green clothes and pants, which makes her as fresh and beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water.

Zhu Ke stepped forward and pointed to the old man to introduce Lu Caiting; "Brother Lu, this is my father, Zhu Pengsheng, the famous 'water-dividing dragon' in Womatan." She speaks a little sarcastically, which shows that her father always spoils her on weekdays.

Lu Caiting hurriedly clenched his fists and saluted; "The prestige of the old hero is like thunder in the sky, and the younger generation has long been famous and admired, and today it is really a blessing to be able to witness the demeanor and dignity of the predecessors."

The old man Zhu Pengsheng stood up, carefully looked at the young man in front of him, bowed his fist in return, and praised happily; "What a beautiful offspring, Qinglongtang is really talented!" He had previously learned from Zhuang Ding's report that the visitor was from Qinglongtang in Shuangji Town.

Zhu Ke pointed to the girl in light emerald green clothes again; "My sister 'Langli Furong' Zhu Ran, don't look at her as a girl, she can chop the waves, the kung fu in the water is never under the 'Langli Baitiao' Zhang Shun in Shuibo Liangshan, the heroes on both sides of the Yuma River and on the water heard her name, and no one would put up a big finger."

Lu Caiting saluted and praised; "The girl is delicate and gentle, but her kung fu does not let her eyebrows be shaved, she is really a generation of heroines, which is very admirable."

The woman in the light emerald green shirt stood up slowly, only clenched her fists in return salute, smiled lightly, and did not speak, it seems that her sister's personality is docile and quiet, unlike her sister's straightforward and fast-talking, the two sisters are completely different.

At this time, the maid brought hot tea to the new guests, and by the way, the cold tea of the previous host and guests was also turned into hot tea.

Zhu Pengsheng picked up the hot tea, lifted the tea lid, stirred the tea leaves, and then blew the hot air with his mouth, and then took a sip. "Lord Lingzun's body is okay lately?"

"Thank you Uncle Zhu for your concern, his old man's health is okay." Lu Caiting replied.

Zhu Pengsheng nodded, he put down the tea bowl and asked again; "What about Brother Ling, but you're still busy with business all day?"

Lu Caiting shook his head and replied with a wry smile; "Uncle Zhu also knows that after the Japanese came, most of the business on the wharf was robbed, and now there are bandits on the mountain, and the freight vehicles leading to the highway in central Anhui have stopped, and now it can only be regarded as a difficult maintenance, and my brother is troubled by this."

"Alas—" Zhu Pengsheng sighed heavily; "In the autumn of troubled times, it is really incomprehensible to think that Japan is just a small country on the sea, and it is really incomprehensible to occupy half of my China in one go, and it is ...... nest."

Zhu Biao walked in and said to Zhu Meng; "Uncle, the food and drinks have been prepared, please come over!"

When the guests of honor came to the dining room, the table of the Eight Immortals was already full of dishes and drinks, and everyone took their seats in order.

Pushing the cup and touching the lamp, these Jianghu people went down a few bowls of wine, their faces were red and their ears were hot, and the atmosphere was relaxed and warm, plus Lu Caiting was polite, always a big bowl of respect, and drank boldly, which also made everyone's interest increase.

When the wine was hearty, Zhu Pengsheng suddenly smiled and said to Lu Caiting; "Virtuous nephew, in fact, our Zhu family has a good relationship with your Qinglong Hall, if you have anything to say, if the old man is not mistaken, the two of you came in a hurry, although they have been calmly trying their best to cover up, but you have something in your heart, you might as well say it and listen to it?"

Lu Caiting was embarrassed to smile when he said the central thing, and at this time the wine was surging, and he couldn't care about it much, so he said boldly; "Uncle Zhu is worthy of being an old Jianghu, and he can't hide anything in front of you, it's like this, the younger generation has broken away from Qinglongtang, mainly because he doesn't want to drag down Qinglongtang, the younger generation has joined the New Fourth Army, in the general of Weimeng Mountain, Dongqiao Village has just formed the New Fourth Army Weimengshan Anti-Japanese Independent Column, the younger generation learned that Uncle Zhu and Brother Zhu have just captured a few bandits here, and they want to behead and kill them in the bazaar, do not hide from Uncle Zhu and Brother Zhu, the leaders of these bandits and their accomplices have joined our anti-Japanese independent column, These people can also be regarded as members of the anti-Japanese independent column, and you also know that they were scattered by the Japanese army due to lack of manpower when they ambushed the Japanese army's food conscription team......"

Zhu Meng interjected and confirmed; "Brother Lu's words are not false at all, the devils made trouble in this area for most of the night that night, and these bandits were deliberately hidden by us, and they were not handed over to the devils."

Lu Caiting continued; "I know that these days, the bandits have plagued all villages and market towns, and the people hate bandits deeply, but these bandits are different, they are righteous bandits, although they sometimes rob the food and property of the villagers, but they will never kill innocents, and because they dare to fight devils, they are also men, so they should not be killed, they should be forgiven for what they did before, and let them continue to fight devils."

"Brother Lu," Zhu Meng looked into Lu Caiting's eyes and asked seriously; "Did you really break away from the Qinglong Hall, join the New Fourth Army, and form an independent column? How many of you are there? What is your position there? His eyes lit up with envy.

Lu Caiting hesitated for a moment, but still replied frankly; "The team has just been established, and there are only more than 200 people at present, all of whom are composed of villagers in the mountains, my brother from Qinglongtang, workers and hawkers in the county town, bandits, and students, and the brother is the deputy captain of the column."

After Zhu Meng heard this, he rubbed his palms vigorously, his face was full of surprise, and praised; "Amazing, Brother Lu is really amazing, he is young, he dares to do a vigorous career, he has courage, knowledge, courage, and courage, he is really a hero."

Zhu Ke stood up suddenly, picked up the wine bowl and saluted Lu Caiting; "You guy is inconspicuous, not dewy, and even mixed with a deputy captain, do you really dare to do it with a devil? Those devils are vicious, have you ever fought each other? ”

Lu Caiting picked up the wine bowl to deal with it, smiled faintly, and replied; "Don't hide it from Miss Zhu, my little tiger brother and I have slaughtered twenty or thirty devil traitors."

As soon as these words came out, the whole table was shocked, the people of the Zhu family, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, Zhu Ke's wine bowl also paused in mid-air for a long time before coming back to his senses, Hua Rong was surprised, and praised again and again; "Okay, little sister respects you, the hero who killed the devil, listening to your words, we Chinese will breathe a long sigh of relief, and, do you have any female soldiers there?" Do you want a female soldier? It seems that she is already moved, and she also wants to join the anti-Japanese team and kill the enemy to serve the country.

Lu Caiting replied firmly; "Yes, it is said that a chivalrous woman with martial arts like you dares to pick up a gun and stand in the team like those pampered eldest ladies and female students in the city."

Zhu Ke's wine bowl touched Lu Caiting's wine bowl heavily, she raised the wine bowl, and said with pride; "Okay, it's a little sister, this girl is not ambiguous to kill the devil, let's also learn from Mulan and Mu Guiying, this ability just comes in handy," After speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the bowl in one go.

Zhu Pengsheng only shook his head and sighed, Zhu Meng and Zhu Biao secretly snickered, they all knew that this girl had been rude and willful since she was a child, and she was as impatient as fire, and the reason she decided was that nine cows could not be pulled back.

After Lu Caiting finished drinking, he poured wine into the bowl again, picked up the bowl with both hands and saluted Zhu Pengsheng, solemnly and authentically; "Uncle Zhu, the purpose of the younger generation coming here is to excuse and intercede for those bandits, and I hope that Uncle Zhu will put the national righteousness first, open the net, forgive and forgive them, let them go to the front line, kill the devils, and atone for the mistakes they have made, and the younger generation will do it first as respect." After speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl in one go.

Zhu Pengsheng also picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile; "In fact, Lu Xian's nephew's words are very reasonable, no matter how turbid the old man is, he can understand the stakes, the virtuous nephew has done this at a young age, and the future creation will never be under your brother, this point makes the old man admire it very much, and at the same time he is moved! It is precisely because of the enthusiasm of you young people that the country has hope, and let me tell you, I have also been in contact with the New Fourth Army, and Commander Xiao of the Suxi Detachment has mobilized me to participate in the New Fourth Army several times......" At this point, he stopped talking and took a sip of wine before continuing; "The old man also admires the fearlessness and bravery of the New Fourth Army in fighting devils, but the old man did not agree, because the old man is a person in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, in other words, the old man has to hand over more than 100 catties to a person who knows the goods."

Zhu Peng raised the bowl in his hand, his eyes suddenly became shiny, he looked at Lu Caiting and said; "We are both people in the rivers and lakes, so we will end up according to the rules of the road, and meet friends with martial arts, if you win the old man and nephew, the person you want will be released immediately, and the Zhu family will be sincerely convinced, and respect you as a guest, everything is easy to say, maybe some people will be selected to enrich your team?"

After hearing this, Lu Caiting immediately buried his head in silence, secretly thinking to himself, as a martial arts person, he naturally knows that many things on the rivers and lakes are solved by martial arts, and the rivers and lakes are quite primitive and barbaric, no matter how arrogant the other party is, as long as you win him, he will admire you so much, even before and after the saddle, only you are subordinate, but he can't agree immediately, the more hesitant he seems, the more he respects the other party.

Zhu Pengsheng spoke again; "What other concerns does Lu Xian's nephew have? I know that your Qinglong martial arts are comparable to your brother's, and you are still the tall foot of the real person who watched the clouds and cranes in the smoke and rain of the mountain in the mountains, and the martial arts of the Tiangang Strength Dao Sect of the Natural Gate can be said to be famous all over the world, and the Jiangnan is unique, don't be stingy later, and show it with an ancient brain, so that the old man can also open his eyes. ”

When Zhu Meng heard that his uncle wanted him to compete with Lu Caiting, he immediately became excited, gearing up, he was rough and upright, and he also liked to fight fists, Zhu Ke and Zhu Biao were also excited, only Zhu Ran was still so calm and calm.

Lu Caiting raised his head sharply in response; "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and please ask Brother Zhu's subordinates to show some mercy."

Everyone stood up, Zhu Pengsheng seemed to be old and strong, and he seemed to be particularly energetic at this time, he drank the remaining wine in the bowl in one go, put down the wine bowl, and waved his big hand; "Let's go, go outside in the empty dam!"

Everyone had just left the table and was about to go to the empty dam outside to learn martial arts, when a Zhuang Dingxing rushed in to report; "The owner, the third young master of Yin Ba Yin of Shuangji Town, with twenty or thirty Zhuang Ding with loaded guns and ammunition, is outside the gate to name and ask to see you."

"Oh," Zhu Meng muttered to himself, a little surprised; "Yin Ba is sinister and treacherous, he doesn't have much to do with on weekdays, he actually came to the door with a large group of Zhuang Ding with loaded guns, what kind of stubble is he looking for?"

Zhu Pengsheng's face sank and he said; "Let's go, let's go!" With that, take the lead and stride out the door.

Everyone followed, came to the gate to take a look, and sure enough, I saw twenty or thirty Zhuang Ding with spears standing outside the gate, spreading a large area, the first person, with long hair covering his eyes, a blue complexion, a dark green silk satin cardigan, a thick white gold necklace around his neck, hanging a skull pendant, his expression was lazy, but he showed a bit of cynical frivolity, it was Yin Ba, the third young master of the Yin family's estate, the richest man in Shuangji Town.

Zhu Meng greeted him, clasped his fists and saluted; "What kind of wind blows the third young master Yin to our secluded town, but the third young master is here, and the humble house is also shining."

Yin Ba also hugged his fists and saluted back; "I heard that several bandits were arrested in your town, and Yin was also sent by his father to hand over a few bandits and hand them over to the Japanese, the Japanese hate these bandits, in front of the imperial army, my father will ask for a reward for Brother Zhu, and I hope that Brother Zhu can be accommodating and handed over."

Seeing that the other party's intention was to forcibly snatch the bandits from his own hands, and then ask for credit from the Japanese, and he looked arrogant, and he brought twenty or thirty guns, which clearly meant to coerce and intimidate, Zhu Meng was angry in his heart, and replied coldly at the moment; "The town has been ransacked by bandits several times, and people's resentment is boiling, even if a few bandits are caught, they have to be killed in public, and the civilians are angry, why should they be handed over to the Japanese?"

Yin Ba used his fingers to comb the long hair covering his eyes, and snorted softly; "Brother Zhu, you also know that this Suzhou-Anhui-Mongolia region is governed by the Japanese, and it will not lead to any good results if you offend the Japanese, in other words, if the Japanese come to ask for someone, it will be troublesome......

Zhu Meng glanced at him and replied confidently; "Japanese balls? The uncle is Chinese, may not be afraid of those Oriental shorts? If your third young master wants to curry favor with the Japanese, it is your business, you just call the Japanese, and Zhu is still like this. ”

Yin Ba was robbed by Zhu Meng so white that his face was blue for a while, and his face was white, he couldn't hold back his temperament and didn't have an immediate attack, his eyes quickly swept over the ranks of the other party's crowd, and his eyes fell on Lu Caiting, he no longer paid attention to Zhu Meng, but saluted Lu Caiting from afar; "Yo, the second young master of Xiaoqinglong is also here?"

Lu Caiting smiled faintly, hugged his fists and saluted back; "Third young master, don't come unharmed, a few bandits, there's no need to stir up the army like this?"

Yin Ba looked at the other party for a while, and said sadly; "I heard that the second young master has been expelled from the Qinglong Hall, do you want to set up another court? Isn't this just walking around and gaining connections? ”

Lu Caiting still replied calmly; "The third young master said that he laughed, Lu someone's qualifications are dull, immoral and incompetent, how dare he have the idea of setting up another court, today he just occasionally passes by Horseshoe Bay, he has the virtue of the master's family, and he does his best to beg for a glass of wine, and he doesn't want to meet the third young master unexpectedly."

In fact, Yin Ba and Lu Caiting both grew up in Shuangji Town, and they have been playing together since they were children, Yin Ba is two years older than Lu Caiting, his sister Yin Ying and Lu Caiting are classmates, until after graduating from high school, Yin Ba is reluctant to go to junior high school, and they have had no contact since then, Yin Ba likes to be strong since he was a child, and he has a lot of scheming, but no matter how he hollows out his mind to move crooked thoughts, and even uses money and material as bait, in the hearts of children, his prestige can not compare to Lu Caiting, and Lu Caiting always looks bold and straightforward, It seems that there is no need to think about it, these children will naturally obey him, Yin Ba and Lu Caiting's childhood was also spent in fights, although he was two years older than the other party, but every time he fought, he never took any advantage, he hated and hated each other to the extreme, but for some reason he was a little afraid of each other in his heart.

Yin Bapi laughed and sarcastically said; "With the qualifications and intelligence of the second young master, he should develop in Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, or at least in the county town of Xiaoxun, what is the future of mixing on these township docks?"

Lu Caiting didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in his words, and ignored the answer.

Yin Ba was bored with himself, and he couldn't help but have a nameless fire in his heart, what he couldn't stand the most from childhood to adulthood was the other party's kind of disapproving and lofty appearance, when he was a child, he always framed the other party with all kinds of crooked thoughts, or used language to ridicule and ridicule the other party, thinking that it would provoke the other party to thunder, beat his chest and stomp his feet, but he didn't expect that the other party always disagreed, and laughed, and whenever this time, he himself would feel that all the elaborate arrangements were just turtledoves laughing, and even a little ugly feeling, self-inflicted humiliation, The kind of loss gap like falling into the valley is very large, he can't accept it, he is treacherous and insidious, thoughtful, but narrow-minded, no measure of tolerance, gloomy mentality, he always speculates about others with his own gloomy psychology, and it backfires, others just laugh at it, just like he is in a dark corner, suddenly shot in by a strong sun, the unsightly conspiracy is exposed, the other party's calm smile, generous, but reflects a kind of Mo Ran's contempt, which is the biggest insult to the opponent, So he couldn't accept it, after a few years, he still couldn't accept it, he vented his anger on Zhu Meng, and yelled at Zhu Meng; "After all, your Horseshoe Bend Town is under the jurisdiction of Shuangji Town, and you dare to disobey the errand sent by your boss?"

Zhu Meng didn't sell his account, his eyes widened, and he shook his fist and retorted; "Zhu Ye is not scared, other things are easy to discuss, but there is no way to do this matter, Zhu Ye has no ability, but these two fists are not vegetarian."

"Wow," Yin Ba immediately grabbed his words and pointed at him with his finger; "If you win the Horseshoe Bend people, the bandits will take the master away, if you lose, the master will immediately pat his ass and leave." He is a rookie master in the ghost gate, and he doesn't look at the martial arts people on the bank of the Yuma River at all, and he has no fear, he let go of his body and shouted behind him; "Captain Shen, I will meet the people of Horseshoe Bend and let them have a long experience."

A man with a thin waist and round belly, a vigorous and vigorous figure walked up, the man has a silver plate and jade face, long hair in the middle, thick eyebrows and frowning, fair complexion, white round neck inner gown, copper plate wide belt, two shell guns inserted in the left and right waist ribs, and an iron gray moire cardigan, his eyes are full of deep melancholy, he is the captain of the Yin family's manor, called Shen Shenjun, because he is fair-skinned, the people of the rivers and lakes call 'Jade Dragon'.

Shen Shenjun clasped his fists at Zhu Meng and saluted, and was about to sign up for his own number, but unexpectedly, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came out behind him and stopped him; "Master, let the apprentice meet Zhu Daxia." The young man's skin is also fair, his two eyes are bright and bright, smart and lively, but his eyes are different from ordinary people, and he is a little red, he is Shen Shenjun's apprentice Mantun, because his eyes are a little red, the people in the rivers and lakes call him 'Red Eyed Cockroach'.

Shen Shenjun scolded with a deep face; "Tun'er, don't be rude, Zhu Daxia is such a person, how can you have the qualifications to make a move, step aside."

Seeing that the master was angry, Man Tun had no choice but to stick out his tongue, make a grimace, and retreat behind.

Shen Shenjun clasped his fists again and saluted; "Shen Shenjun, a useless mediocrity in the rivers and lakes, is wildly called 'Jade Dragon', I have heard Zhu Daxia's divine fist for a long time, and I am fortunate to receive it today, and I hope that Zhu Daxia will take care of it."

The rivers and lakes somewhat looked down on these martial artists who took care of their homes and homes, but seeing that the other party's attitude was sincere and thoughtful, Zhu Meng still hugged his fists and replied; "Master Shen is invited!"

The two of them slid and started to move, unleashing their skills, luck was condensed, Zhu Meng made the first move, a 'cupola cannon' long fist with a strong wind and slashed at the opponent's Tianling cover, Shen Shenjun was surrounded by snakes, and deftly avoided the opponent's attack.

Zhu Meng, known as 'vigorously fierce', his arms seem to have a thousand catties of divine power, and he uses the Shaolin faction's King Kong cannon hammer, his fists are like the wind, the force is heavy, and he really has the potential to overwhelm the mountains and seas, and the seemingly weak Shen Shenjun is about to fall under his heavy fist hammer.

But beyond people's expectations, Shen Shenjun was calm and relaxed, always avoiding the killing of the opponent in the instantaneous gap of the electric light, with the continuation of the competition process, people gradually saw that his body and limbs were particularly soft, flexible and abnormal, agile and light, and the footwork was rigorous, relaxed and moderate, as if there was a demeanor of everyone, people would never believe that it was acceptable, a martial artist who took care of the home would have such skills.

Thirty moves passed, Shen Shenjun's hands were bent and outlined with ten fingers, overlapping and changing, and in the opponent's powerful offensive, he frequently counterattacked, his hand was sharp and abrupt, faster than lightning, soft and rigid, forcing the opponent's offensive to slow down, and after a while, the opponent was already sweaty, panting slightly, and the offensive was obviously weakened, and at the same time, it was tightly shrouded by the killing range laid out by the strange technique of the 'Jade Dragon', and it was already in the defensive self-defense.

The Zhu family was dumbfounded, the change in the situation made them worried, Lu Caiting approached Zhu Pengsheng and whispered in his ear; "Uncle Zhu, the one surnamed Shen is a dragon-shaped technique, and it is first-class and authentic, it should be a master in the Dragon Gate......"

Zhu Pengsheng also said anxiously; "The virtuous nephew is right, the dragon-shaped palm is entrained with dragon-shaped hook claws, slapping the lock, ups and downs, varied, momentum like a rainbow, even the old man is dazzled, Mengzi is not his opponent, but the old man sighed, why is such a big hero willing to act as a caretaker in a traitor manor like the Yin family?"

Lu Caiting sighed, meaningfully authentic; "Maybe he has some secret agenda."

After less than 100 rounds of fighting in the field, Shen Shenjun suddenly made a move 'Canglong Pulling Out the Clouds', stretched out his right arm, avoided the opponent's fist, and hit the opponent's dantian qi sea on the lower abdomen, and the real force vomited, and a powerful energy shook Zhu Meng, Zhu Meng was unstable on his feet, and his body couldn't help it, and he staggered back seven or eight steps before he stood firm.

Shen Shenjun stopped, clasped his fists and saluted; "Zhu Daxia, I agreed." He still seemed polite, quiet and humble, without the slightest hint of victorious arrogance.

Zhu Meng's face was flushed, but he also knew that his skills were not as good as others, and the other party was also merciful, otherwise this palm was enough to make him lie on the ground, he also hugged his fist to the other party, and then retreated to the side in shame.

Yin Ba shouted triumphantly; "The Zhu family lost this game, is there anyone else in the Zhu family who will play? If not, Young Master Ben will take people away and commit bandits! ”

Lu Caiting walked out of the arena slowly, and saluted Shen Shenjun with a fist; "Good one-handed authentic Longmen martial arts, both rigid and soft, and easy to use, Master Shen's mastery has reached a hundred feet top, Lu someone can see the itch, and he also wants to learn from Master Shen."

Shen Shenjun returned the salute with a fist and smiled modestly; "The second young master laughed, Shen has been coming to Shuangji Town for two or three years, and he has long heard of the name of Xiao Qinglong, and he has hidden it deeply, if he can get the guidance of the second young master today, he will have no regrets in this life."

Seeing this, Yin Ba hurriedly blocked the way; "The surname is Lu, you are not from the Zhu family, what are you doing here?"

Lu Caiting smiled heartily; "The martial arts in the world are a family, learn from each other, and be able to understand each other better, learn from each other's strengths, what's wrong, such a superb and profound dragon school martial arts, Lu someone doesn't want to lose it."

Zhu Ke also stood up to help; "He is a friend of Miss Ben, and he can also represent the Zhu family, is there anything wrong?"

Yin Ba was speechless for a moment, seeing that the way this girl spoke was very distinct, it seemed to have a hint, and she couldn't help but think of it in her heart; 'The words of the eldest lady of the Zhu family are not bad at all, if this stupid boy becomes the uncle of the Zhu family, he can naturally represent the Zhu family...... but he also understands one thing, he knows that his sister Yin Ying also has a soft spot for this stupid boy...... For a while, my heart stirred my stomach, and I couldn't say what it tasted like.

Lu Caiting took advantage of the fact that Yin Ba had not come back to his senses, and had already issued a move to Shen Shenjun, he used a style of 'pear blossoms floating in the south of the Yangtze River', his body fluttered lightly, and his arm was raised, turning his palm into a sword, and slashing his opponent obliquely with the side edge of his palm.

Shen Shenjun tucked his abdomen and chest, sat on his hips with high steps, and skillfully avoided the opponent's attack with a 'shape shift', and the two immediately converged.

The dragon school martial arts is a famous sect in the northern martial arts, it belongs to the inner kung fu, with a peculiar technique, unpredictable, take the ups and downs of the dragon galloping, turning the clouds and rain, both rigid and soft, the god is mighty, lingering and intertwined, moving and turning quickly, killing the opponent in the invisible.

Taoism's natural gate 'Tiangang Jin' smoke and rain martial arts, but also the best peaks in the inner home, it is static braking, preemptive, soft behind his enemy, with the opponent's offensive and change, the routine action is light and smooth, soft such as a breeze blowing willows, ripples on the wave surface, when fast, if the waves are stormy, lightning in an instant, but the inner kung fu pays attention to the real power of Gangqi, Qianjun Jingong strikes out, the appearance is still calm and leisurely, that is, if the internal organs of a large tree are shattered, and the outer bark is still intact.

Both of them are internal kung fu, and at first glance, the movements are also light and soothing, not as intense as Zhu Meng's foreign fist struggle just now, but the strong wind in the air spread by the limbs of the two people's bodies is faintly whistling, scraping their faces hard, forcing everyone watching to retreat.

The two of them tumbled and rolled and fought, sometimes slowly, sometimes with quick moves, a few tricks, looking at the onlookers intently, for fear of missing a move and a half, this kind of superb master of the house, the year of the monkey Ma Yue can only bump into it, who will let go?

Unconsciously, the two of them have deduced a hundred rounds, winning or losing, in the fight, Lu Caiting looked at a gap, stretched out his hand to hold the opponent's palm, and whispered; "Friend, it's rare that you have such martial arts and kung fu, and Longmen is also a famous and decent family, why don't you come forward to kill devils, and are willing to take care of the family for the traitor?"

The eyebrows on Shen Shenjun's face twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he replied calmly; "Everyone has their own unspeakable privacy, why does the second young master need to be strong?"

The two of them continued to change moves, and Lu Caiting continued to whisper; "The national righteousness is above all else, but it's a pity that a friend is such a figure? What is the great grievance in the face of the survival of the nation? Even if the husband dies for the nation, he is also impassioned and touching, which is better than the kind of living life that only whispers and sorrows. ”

Shen Shenjun was slightly angry and said angrily; "Hugh's ability to speak is better than Shen's others." Anyway, the real strength of the Dantian Gang Qi in a hurry, condensed on the palms, the body flew up obliquely, a style of 'Fierce Dragon Exploring the Sea' was faster than lightning, and suddenly hit the opponent's chest in the middle of the house, this move He used eight layers of skill, one was that the other party said that his soft position was painful, which made him angry, and the other was that he also wanted to see the depth of the other party's martial arts, whether it was a person.

"I figured it out and went to General Ao, Dongqiao Village to find me." While Lu Caiting was talking, he saw that the other party was fierce, he was also busy with his true qi vortex chest, focusing on his body, he did not let the opponent's attack unstoppable, and caught it hard, he had the heart to subdue the other party, he had to show outstanding kung fu to deter the other party.

"Bang" There was a loud bang, and the two dragon-shaped palms struck Lu Caiting's chest firmly, Shen Shenjun was terrified, he never thought that the other party's heavy blow to his own eight-layer skill would not be blocked, and he caught it with his chest Zhongfu, and it was too late to retract the move, and in an instant, the strength spat out from the palm, and the crowd watching let out a scream of astonishment, seeing that a generation of young heroes was about to lie in the dust.
