Chapter 46 The arrogant Zhang Mingzhi
"Are you Ding Li? Are you Ding Li of the South China Sea Gang? Suddenly, Cao Qi subconsciously took a step back, and the scene when he saw Cao Hai and Cao You not long ago came to his mind, and then Cao Qi immediately realized that he was a little out of shape, lest he lose face in front of many of his subordinates, straightened up slightly, coughed dryly, and pretended to calmly change the topic: "Street brawl in front of the public!" If so. ”
"Help! The official in front! Help me.. ”
"Murder!! Help me.. ”
Before Cao Qi finished speaking, there was a cry for help from the other side of the street, and in a blink of an eye, more than a dozen embarrassed but still carrying sticks were running towards this side, and the shouts in their mouths were even louder, even higher than one another.
"Presumptuous! What kind of person is so bold! Cao Qi saw at a glance that the more than ten people who fled were all members of the Chaozhou Gang supported by the Cao Chamber of Commerce, and seeing that his own people were being bullied, Cao Qi immediately pulled out the standard horizontal knife on his waist and strode up to meet it, and a group of subordinates behind him followed suit, holding the horizontal knife and following behind him.
"Who is so bold?" Even Zhang Wu and Fan Ying were a little puzzled, not to mention the strength of the Chaozhou Gang in Fuxu Town, the power of the Cao Chamber of Commerce in this place alone was not trivial, the two couldn't help but be shocked, and they looked at each other one after another, and what they saw from each other's eyes was all puzzled.
"It's a young owner!" The sharp-eyed Ding Li didn't think too much like the two of them, but directly used his eyes to check the situation.
Hearing this, Zhang Wu and Fan Ying were a spirit, and they turned their heads to look over, only to see Zhang Mingzhi holding the stick of the Tuomu lance, with a pure white horse in his crotch, and unhurriedly urging his mount to chase the 'prey' under the crowd of many club-wielding men.
"Zhang Mingzhi! Do you really think that this Fuxu Port belongs to your Zhang family? Cao Qi, who also saw Zhang Mingzhi on horseback, was even more angry, and even gathered a crowd to fight under his own nose, relying on a small team of soldiers behind him, Cao Qi raised his horizontal knife and pointed it at Zhang Mingzhi, and scolded sharply: "Get off the horse!" Fuxu Town, how can you Zhang Mingzhi be so presumptuous! ”
"Cao Qi?" Zhang Mingzhi's left arm and right calf were still bandaged, and after listening to Cao Qi's scolding, he didn't make any moves at all, just glanced at the other party, smiled faintly, and said with a slight sarcasm: "Lao Tzu was attacked by someone yesterday when he ate in the city, and you guys haven't given me an answer until now!" Now Lao Tzu has a leg injury and can't walk, so he can only rely on this horse! Now you want me to go down? Are you here to carry me? ”
"Presumptuous!" As soon as the words fell, Cao Qi was angry and jumped straight to his feet, but he couldn't do anything to the other party just because Zhang Mingzhi was riding a horse in the city, looking at the arrogant Zhang Mingzhi, the helpless Cao Qi gradually calmed down, looked at the group of Chaozhou gangs hiding behind him, and after thinking about it, Cao Qi became angry again, and pointed at Zhang Mingzhi again and roared: "Zhang Mingzhi!" In front of everyone's eyes, you dare to lead many men to commit murder and evil! Come! Take him down and escort him back to the western camp! ”
Having said that, how dare those subordinates behind Cao Qi do it, even the two henchmen who are obedient to Cao Qi on weekdays tremble and lean in front of Cao Qi to persuade in a low voice, and even analyze the pros and cons.
"What? Come on! Aren't you going to take me to your western camp? Seeing that there was some cold scene in front of him, Zhang Mingzhi seemed to be more anxious than Cao Qi, urged his mount to take a few steps forward, and kept provoking Cao Qi and the others: "I want to see who dares to come forward and take me to Xiying today!" ”
As he spoke, Zhang Mingzhi's face sank suddenly, his eyes swept over Cao Qi and the others, and he suddenly shouted coldly: "Cao Qi! Don't think that the little action you Cao Shi made behind your back can avoid my eyes! Go back and tell Cao Hai and Cao You! I, Zhang Mingzhi, will one day pick the heads of the two of them with my own hands! ”
"Zhang Mingzhi! You, you're so arrogant! Just suppressed the anger, Cao Qi was once again excited by Zhang Mingzhi's words, although Cao You and Cao Hai are only Cao's henchmen, but as the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, how Cao Qi is still the nephew of the Cao master, even if it is a distant relative, but his honor and disgrace have long been tied to the entire Cao family.
"I'm so arrogant! What can you do to me? Zhang Mingzhi answered without thinking, then pursed his lips and added with great contempt: "Cao Qi! You're a piece of shit! Get out of here before it's too late! I don't want to waste time with you at all! Today, these Cao Hai's doglegs, Lao Tzu will let them go for the time being! You go back and tell Cao Hai and Cao You, don't let Lao Tzu see the two of them, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is under his nose, Lao Tzu will take their lives! ”
What is arrogance, Cao Qi understands! But what Zhang Mingzhi said was right, Cao Qi didn't have the courage to really take Zhang Mingzhi away, at most he wanted to bluff to save face, but who would have thought that Zhang Mingzhi, who was bumped into the muzzle of the gun and was in the crater after being sneak attacked, didn't buy it at all, even in the face of the squad led by Cao Qi, he didn't show any mercy to Cao Qi.
"Get out! Don't let Lao Tzu do it! Seeing Cao Qi, who was flushed, staring at the burning gaze on the spot, Zhang Mingzhi scolded again, and then looked at the soldiers holding horizontal knives behind Cao Qi, and immediately waved the lance in his hand, and shouted: "What are you still standing for?" Do you want to try the long lance in the hands of the second master? ”
Cao Qi simply felt too aggrieved, he originally wanted to act prestigiously in front of his subordinates, but he didn't expect that Zhang Mingzhi in front of him was like crazy. Although he wanted to give an order to rush up and fight to the death, Cao Qi still knew that even if he made up his mind, the gang of subordinates behind him would never dare to go out and fight hard, after all, Zhang Mingzhi's prestige was there, although there was only one name of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, but it was far from being something that the ordinary soldiers behind him could provoke.
Even, if Cao Qi was not a child of the Cao clan, with the official position of the captain on his head, he would not be able to enter Zhang Mingzhi's eyes at all.
As if fearing that Cao Qigou would jump off the wall in a hurry, Fan Ying beckoned his subordinates to the middle of the confrontation between the two sides in a timely manner, although he stood neutrally, his attitude was very obvious, he was Zhang Mingzhi's person. And Ding Li and Zhang Wu went directly to Zhang Mingzhi's horse, and looked at Cao Qi and the others opposite coldly.
"Good! Good! I'm leaving! For your sake, you were attacked yesterday! I'm not going to bother with you today! But that's not the end of the day! You Zhang Mingzhi remember it for me! Cao Qi's eyes flashed with hatred and viciousness, staring viciously at Zhang Mingzhi, who was indifferent on horseback, gritting his teeth and squeezing out a few words one by one, and at the same time not forgetting to open his eyes and say nonsense, giving himself a high-sounding reason, but all this was too ridiculous in the eyes of the people around him.
"Waste is waste! Let me remember you? Seeing that Cao Qi was about to leave, Zhang Mingzhi didn't even intend to save the last bit of face for the other party, and glanced at the other party with contempt, his voice was neither high nor low, but it was just right for Cao Qi to hear, and it was very clear.
But what Zhang Mingzhi didn't expect was that Cao Qi's endurance was beyond his understanding, and the other party turned a blind eye to it, but Cao Qi's whole person was obviously shocked when he heard it, and then he just let out a cold snort, and then beckoned his subordinates to leave without looking back.
In fact, Cao Qi did something useful, after all, because of Cao Qi's presence, the Chaozhou gang who were chased all the way by Zhang Mingzhi were finally freed, and when the two sides separated, the thanks of those people also made Cao Qi feel a little comforted, but when he thought of Zhang Mingzhi's arrogant face, Cao Qi would have a burst of hatred in his heart, and his eyes were even more on fire.
"Second Master Zhang, thank you for saving your life last time!" After Cao Qi led people away, Ding Li thought about it, and took the lead in turning around and bowing to Zhang Mingzhi with great sincerity, and the tone of his voice was even more sincere.
"Small things, for me it's just a gesture! It's a pity that a talent like you is ruined in the hands of Liu Laosan! It seems that because of Cao Qi's departure, or seeing the Ding Li he saved again appeared in front of him, Zhang Mingzhi's mood instantly improved a lot, waved his hand at Ding Li, and threw the lance in his hand to the subordinates on the side, raised his legs and jumped off the horse, there was no injury at all, Ding Li and Zhang Wu were stunned again and again, and they didn't understand what was going on for a while.
"Don't look at it! It's just a small injury! Practicing martial arts since childhood, what is this injury! Zhang Mingzhi grinned at Ding Li and Zhang Wu, as if to prove it to the two, and deliberately raised his foot and kicked a few times out of thin air, then walked to Ding Li's side, patted Ding Li's shoulder and said with a smile: "And!" Ali, don't learn to scream like Awu, I'm similar to you, not to mention that your current identity is not the same, no matter how you say it, you are the boss of our Nanhai Gang, if you don't dislike it, just call me second brother, in fact, everyone often calls me that! ”
"Okay! No problem! Second Brother Zhang! Ding Li was also refreshed, without the slightest refusal, and then continued to everyone with a smile: "Actually, I think it's a bit awkward to call the second master, you see how old the third master is Liu Lao!" ”
"Hahaha!" Zhang Mingzhi smiled heartily, nodded, stretched out his hand to pat Ding Li, and looked at Zhang Wu in a blink of an eye, suddenly frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "Injured?" Who did this to you? ”
"Cao Hai and Cao You, sneak attack halfway!" Mentioning his injury, Zhang Wu, who was still laughing just now, suddenly sank his face, responded succinctly, then turned his eyes to look at Ding Li, and then continued to explain with a wry smile: "Thanks to Brother Li, I came over, otherwise, it may be planted in their hands!" But fortunately, it didn't hurt my muscles and bones, and it won't take long to get better! ”
"It's good that you don't hurt your bones! Great work! Awu! Zhang Mingzhi nodded solemnly, his eyes narrowed, and when he spoke again, his tone had become extremely cold: "It seems that the Cao family can't hold it anymore, and it is even brazen to start a war!" We can't wait for the battle passively, so let's prepare for a storm! ”
Hearing this, Ding Li and Zhang Wu were also silent, the Zhang Chamber of Commerce and the Cao Chamber of Commerce are the two giants of Guangzhou Mansion and even Lingnan Dongdao, if it really comes to the day of large-scale conflict, the consequences are completely unimaginable.
"Hey! All right! Don't talk about this, go back first, there are still distinguished guests at home! After a pause, Zhang Mingzhi looked up to the sky and sighed, shook his head a little annoyed, and smiled mysteriously at Ding Li and Zhang Wu.
