Chapter 23: Strategies for Life and Righteousness (2)
A whispering voice rang out from among the beggars, and the voice was mixed with amazement, admiration, and admiration. It turned out that a few years ago, the Khitan Kingdom invaded on a large scale, but several generals in the army died violently one after another, and the course was unfavorable, and they returned in vain, and the Great Song Kingdom was exempted from a catastrophe. Among the generals who died violently, there was Yelu Bulu, the deputy marshal of the left flank.
Except for the highest leaders of the beggar gang, no one knew that this was Elder Chen's great achievement. Elder Chen was relieved when he heard Qiao Feng announce his merits in public, and said in a low voice: "I, Chen Guyan, am famous all over the world, and I deeply feel the great kindness of the helper. ”
The beggar gang has been secretly helping the Great Song Dynasty to resist foreign enemies and protect the country and protect the people, but in order not to attract the attention of the enemy, so as to attack the beggar gang with all their might, all kinds of schemes regardless of success or failure, they have done a good calculation, and they will never leak it. Chen Guyan has always been arrogant and rude, he is older than Qiao Feng, and his seniority in the beggar gang is longer than Qiao Feng, and he is usually not very humble to him, and the group of beggars is well known.
Qiao Feng walked up to Wu Changfeng and said, "Elder Wu, back then, you guarded the Eagle Sorrow Gorge alone, resisting the masters of the 'Yipintang' of Western Xia, so that his plot to assassinate the Yang family general could not succeed. Just by virtue of the 'meritorious service gold medal' that Marshal Yang gave you, you can be spared from today's crimes. Take it out and show it to everyone! Wu Changfeng's face suddenly flushed, his expression was uneasy, and he said, "This...... This ......" Qiao Feng said: "We are all our own brothers, if Elder Wu has any difficulties, you can say it." Wu Changfeng said: "I have a gold medal for meritorious service, don't hide it from the helper, yes...... This one...... That one...... It's gone. Qiao Fengqi said: "How can it be gone?" Wu Changfeng said: "I lost it myself." Well......" He calmed down and said loudly: "That day I was addicted to alcohol, and I had no money to buy alcohol, so I sold the gold medal to the gold shop." Qiao Feng laughed and said, "Refreshing, refreshing, but I'm sorry for Marshal Yang." As he spoke, he pulled out a magic knife, first cut the cow tendon on Wu Changfeng's wrist, and then inserted it into his left shoulder.
Wu Changfeng said loudly: "Helper, you are benevolent and righteous, Wu Changfeng's life will be handed over to you from now on." People say you this and that, I don't believe it anymore. Qiao Feng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's be called Huazi, we have no food to eat, no wine to drink, even if we ask others, we don't need to sell gold medals." Wu Changfeng said with a smile: "It's easy to beg for food and hard to drink, and people say: 'It's too bad to say that you want to drink when you're full!'" Don't give, don't give. When the beggars heard this, they all burst into laughter. Begging for wine was rejected by people, and many people in the beggar gang had experienced it, and Qiao Feng pardoned the guilt of the four elders, and everyone was relieved.
"Gang Master Qiao, you want to introduce me to me, and when you go to be a guest, don't forget to call me Wu Changfeng." After Wu Changfeng was exempted from punishment, his personality became a little free and easy.
"I won't forget your brothers, when I go, I will take you back with you, and then introduce you to another special friend, who is also a man."
"The helper might as well introduce one or two friends to us and tell me what is special about that friend," Elder Song suggested, after all, it was rude to be a guest at someone else's place and not understand the master's house.
"That's what I met after I separated from Gongsun Qian, but I only know him, and I haven't intersected with him, but I also know what his name is." Qiao Feng said.
At that time, he was separated from Gongsun Qian, so he hurried to Wuxi, and when he reached the second watch, he suddenly heard two people standing on a small bridge arguing loudly. At that time, it was all dark, and there were still people arguing, I thought it was strange, I went up to take a look, only to see that the small bridge was a single-plank bridge, one end stood a man in black, the other end was a countryman, with a load of dung on his shoulders, it turned out that the two were fighting for the road. The man in black told the countrymen to go back, saying that he had reached the bridge first. The countrymen said that they couldn't return the dung burden, so they asked the man in black to go back. The man in black said: "We have consumed from the first shift to the second watch, and then from the second watch to the dawn." I still won't let it. The countryman said, "You are not afraid of the smell of my dung, so it will be consumed." The man in black said, "You have a dung burden on your shoulders, as long as you are not afraid of being tired, we will be exhausted." ’”
"When I saw this, I was very amused, and I thought: 'This man in black has a really strange temper, take a few steps back, let him give way, that is, what does it taste like to be so face-to-face with this countryman who carries dung?' Listening to the two of them, it was obvious that they had already spent a second time. I was curious, and I wanted to see the results, to know whether it was the man in black who surrendered because he was afraid of the smell, or whether the countryman was so tired that he admitted defeat. I only listened to the two of you, you and me, what I said were Jiangnan dialect, and I didn't understand it, in short, I said that I was straight. The countryman was really ruthless, changing the dung burden from the left shoulder to the right shoulder, and the double from the right shoulder to the left shoulder, but he refused to take a step back. ”
Qiao Feng said again: "I looked at it for a while, and gradually became surprised, and found that the man in black was standing on the single-plank bridge, his body was as immobile as a mountain, and he was actually a man with superior martial arts. The countryman who picked up dung was just an ordinary person, although he was born strong and strong, but he didn't know how to do martial arts at all. The more I looked at it, the more strange it became, and I thought: This man in black is so good at martial arts that he only stretched out his little finger and pushed this countryman into the river with a dung burden, but he didn't use martial arts at all. Such a master, even if he doesn't want to let the other party go, so lightly, leaping over the countryman's head, but how easy, he just wants to vomit with this countryman, it's really funny!
"I heard the man in black raise his voice and say loudly: 'If you don't let me again, I'm going to curse!' The country man said: 'Scold and scold.' You can scold, but I won't scold? He was the first to speak and cursed. The man in black scolded him. Two people, you and I, all kinds of strange foul language will come out. I can't understand half of these Jiangnan swearing. After scolding for half an hour, the countryman was exhausted, and the man in black was full of internal strength, and he was still full of energy. I saw the country man swaying, and it seemed that he was about to fall into the river before a cup of tea.
Suddenly, the countryman reached into the dung bucket, grabbed a handful of dung water, and threw it at the man in black. The man in black never expected him to splash, 'Ah', and his face and mouth were already covered with dung. I cried out, 'Oh no, this countryman is killing himself, but who is to blame?' Seeing that the man in black was furious, he slapped his palms together on the top of the countryman's head. ”
I only heard Qiao Feng continue: "This change came too quickly, I was afraid of smelling the smell, standing more than ten feet away, and I wanted to save the countryman, but it was too late." Unexpectedly, the man in black was about to hit the countryman's Tianling Gai with his palm, but suddenly his palm stopped in mid-air, no longer falling, laughed, and said, "Brother, you are more patient with me, who won in the end?" The countryman was so lazy that he refused to admit that he had lost, and said, 'I picked up the dung, but you took advantage of it, and I didn't believe you picked the dung, and I stood empty, and I saw who lost and who won?' The man in black said, 'That's right!' He stretched out his hand and took the dung burden from his shoulder, stretched out his left arm, and placed his palm in the middle of the flat burden, holding it flat. ”
"When the countryman saw that he was holding the dung burden with one hand, and his arms were at the shoulder level, he could not help but be stunned, and said, 'You...... You ......," the man in black said with a smile: "I'll just hold it like this, don't change hands, let's face each other, whoever loses, will drink up this load of dung." When the countryman saw his miraculous skills, how dare he quarrel with him again, and hurriedly retreated, but he was so flustered that he fell into the middle of the river. The man in black stretched out his right hand, grabbed him by the collar, raised his right arm flat, so that he held a load of dung on his left and a man on his right, laughed, and said, 'Enjoyable, enjoyable!' With a vertical body, he gently fell to the opposite bank, put the countryman and the dung burden in the ground, began a light work, and disappeared into the mulberry forest. ”
"This man in black was poured dung in his mouth, and if he wanted to kill the countryman, it was just a matter of raising his hands. Even if he refuses to kill casually, it is natural to punch him a few times, but he has no recklessness. This person's temperament is indeed a bit special, and it can be said that it is very rare to seek it in the martial arts. Brothers, I have seen this with my own eyes, and I am far away from him, so I forgive him that he may not be able to see my traces, so that he intends to be pretentious. Do you see people like this? ”
"I want to see each other, this friend's personality is really weird," Song Changfeng said.
"I wonder who this friend is?"
"It's a gust of wind and turmoil!" After hearing this, Duan Rui asked, and also clarified Elder Song's doubts.
Qiao Feng nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”
Qiao Feng said slowly: "That Gongye Qianqian is heroic, there is a clear distinction between right and wrong, and the three girls are also gentle and kind. These people are either Murong Gongzi's subordinates, or his relatives and friends. As the saying goes: things gather by like, and people by groups. Brothers, please think about it calmly: Murong Gongzi interacts with such a person, can he himself be a traitorous and despicable and shameless person? "Most of the masters of the beggar gang value righteousness and love friends, and they all feel justified after listening to it, and many people echo it.
"Duan Gongzi, what do you think?"
