Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wind Rises in Zengtou City (1)
In the hinterland of Shandong, in the southwest of Lingzhou, there is a village square, surrounded by high posts on three sides, and a pool of wild water is led in front. The gatehouse is majestic, deep hidden in the wall, surrounded by green willows and forests, full of mysteries.
The owner of the village is called Zeng Lane, who is over fifty years old, a member of the Jurchen tribe, who entered the Song Dynasty to buy and sell ginseng when he was young, and gathered thousands of family wealth. The blood of this person once flowed with the fierce blood of the Jurchens in the white water of Black Mountain, the strength was outstanding, the city government was deep, and a group of people of the same clan who lived in the Song Dynasty were gathered, bought the official mansion, dominated the village, and changed its name to Zengtou City.
After decades of development, Zengtou City is now also one of the top heroes in Shandong, and the five sons under his knees are: Zeng Tu, Zeng Mi, Zeng Suo, Zeng Kui, Zeng Sheng, all of whom are strong in martial arts; A few years ago, two heroes were invited: Shi Wengong and Su Ding, who were the head and deputy head of Zengtou City, and they were in the limelight for a while, and the government did not dare to provoke them easily.
The ground of Zengtou City is hundreds of miles in circumference, the population is large, the military horses are more than 10,000, and the five big villages are set down, the momentum is huge, and no one dares to look at it.
At this time, in front of the gatehouse of Zengtou City, iron cages of different sizes were loaded on the car and transported into Zengtou City, and more than ten eagles and falcons were struggling and fluttering, making bursts of neighing.
There is another prisoner car in the rear, and a tall ugly-faced man is detained in it, this man is born with a broad face and square cheeks, big eyes and ears, wearing a brown shirt, and the scarf on the top of his head is messily scattered.
"You ugly man is a man, but you dare to look at your grandfather like this when you are dying, and you are not afraid that your grandfather will gouge out your eyes." Zeng Kui, the fourth son of the Zeng family, rode a green sideburns horse, raised the steel gun in his hand and pointed it at the ugly man through the fence of the prisoner car, and said with a smile.
Although the ugly man was anxious in his heart, he was not afraid on his face, and only scolded: "Today, you have done this in Toushi, robbed me of the eagle falcon, and killed my entourage, the hatred is deep and the sea is deep, only this blood debt, I Dulonggang will settle accounts with you sooner or later." ”
This ugly man is none other than the owner of Lijiazhuang in Dulonggang, the confidant of Li Ying, who is called a grimace - Du Xing.
Since Zhu Biao and Hu Qing'e got married, Du Xing led a group of people to the north and Liaodong to find a communication falcon for the embroidered envoy. Now half a year has passed, Du Xing has asked his subordinates to send back several waves of eagle falcons to Dulonggang one after another, this time it is a large tribe in Liaodi, Du Xing spent a lot of money to buy the largest number of eagle falcons, the highest quality of the batch of eagle falcons, personally escorted back to Dulonggang.
Du Xing's mind is clever, step by step, from Liaodi all the way south, in order to avoid being looked at and make up his mind, on the way with a black cloth covered with a cage of birds of prey, looking for a path to avoid people during the day, only at night to return to the main road, only Du Xing is so cautious, but still when passing by Zengtou City, Shi Wengong, a teacher in Zengtou City, saw the flaw.
Shi Wengong looked at these more than ten birds of prey, knowing that it was not something that ordinary people could use, and after some temptation, he learned that Du Xing was a person from Dulonggang, so he did not want to take advantage of it, so he only said to buy a few eagle falcons, Du Xing also agreed to sell two and Shi Wengong in order to avoid extraneous branches. The two had already said that they had already said that at this time, Zeng Kui, the fourth son of the Zeng family, was killed halfway, and without saying anything, he killed Du Xing and his entourage, which was Du Xing's life at this time, and Shi Wengong stopped it in order to avoid a complete deterioration of the situation.
Zeng Kui heard Du Xing's words, a look of disdain, only held the proud head high, and said presumptuously: "Haha, a certain Zeng Kui's good head is here, you let that Laoshi Taishan Jun to take it, others are afraid of you Dulonggang, but a certain Zeng Tou City does not put you in his eyes, I heard that Zhu Biao married a beautiful lady like a flower, he is okay if he doesn't come, if he comes, he will poke it thoroughly, and then taste the taste of his wife." ”
Hearing these foul words, Du Xing was furious, his face flushed with straight anger, his whole body trembled, and he only stared at Zeng Kui with a pair of eyes, if his eyes could kill, Zeng Kui was afraid that he would be cut by a thousand knives at this moment.
At the end of the procession, there were two huge men, the first of whom was Shi Wengong, a teacher in Zengtou City, who was nine feet tall, with a slightly pale complexion, three locks of beard, broad shoulders and a round waist, about thirty-six or seven years old; The second is Su Ding, the deputy teacher of Zengtou City, who is eight feet six or seven long, with a blue complexion and a beard.
"Brother, this time these four sons committed such an act, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Dulonggang to be good." Su Ding looked worried, and said with a long sigh.
Shi Wengong was also frowning at this time, his face was gloomy, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, this peerless master who was on a par with Lu Junyi and Du Yan was now helpless.
Unlike that Zeng Kui, who was young and vigorous, Shi Wengong knew that although this Zeng Tou City was huge, in fact, it was mixed with dragons and snakes, and there were holes everywhere.
Shi Wengong also sighed and said: "This matter started because of me, and now it has ended up in such a field, but it is too late to regret it. ”
When Su Ding heard this, he didn't know what to say, but he was righteous in his heart, and he said: "What my brother says, I will do it, in the water and in the fire, I will accompany my brother together." ”
Shi Wengong only smiled, no longer spoken, and looked at Du Xing in the prisoner car in front of him, although he was not masked with the world-famous Taishan Jun, but from the actions of this person under him, he could see the leopard, and even the leader of his subordinate who was in charge of selling merchants was so good, you can imagine how tricky his person is.
When the convoy entered Zengtou City, Du Xing looked at a man with a length and a few waists standing downstairs, his pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly remembered that he had seen this person last year, and this person was about to look for his son with the Shiqian brothers on the post, because this person looked strange, and Du Xing was deeply impressed. After a while, Du Xing made up his mind, what did the flea on the drum do, Du Xing heard the master Li Ying talk about it, and he knew a little about it, and now that he saw this person, he would soon know what happened today.
As if to confirm what Duchenne thought, the groom raised his head slightly, and winked at Duchenne without a trace, all without saying a word.
As night fell, Zengtou City slowly quieted down, except for the occasional patrol, there were few people in Zengtou City. In the middle of the moon, dotted with stars dotted the night sky, frogs outside Zengtou City were everywhere, bursts of cicadas chirped, the closed door of the village slowly opened a gap one person wide, and a figure led a horse out slowly.
The horse's mouth was titled, the hooves were wrapped in thick cloth, a person and a horse did not make a sound, picked up the hidden place, walked around quickly, waited for a few miles, out of the range of Zengtou City, the one-zhang long figure flew on the horse, galloped towards the starry night in the direction of Yunzhou.
