Chapter 182: On Bandits
Let's say that the second master of Shuanglong Mountain named Ma Teng did not hesitate to raise his knife and kill Jiang Ergou, and the knife in his hand was so strong that he wanted to split the nosy kid in front of him in half.
The move of this second-grade master is extraordinary, to say that others can't see it clearly, at a glance, they only feel the horror of an ordinary ordinary knife, but Huang Chengping and the woman surnamed Lin felt the deep internal force carried in this knife at the first time.
If they were to face this knife, it would be impossible to get out of the way without saying anything, no matter how subtle their body was, they would not be able to avoid leaving a wound on their body. At the same time, they also sweated in their hearts for the kid who jumped out of the city.
But they never imagined that such an ordinary but amazing sword in their eyes would be dissolved by that kid's flying sword!
They thought that this kid's swordsmanship of separating the woman surnamed Lin from the second master of Shuanglong Mountain was to slap a swollen face and make a fat man, but at this time, it seemed that this kid was not simple, and he could break the long knife in the hands of a second-grade realm martial artist with just one flying sword, and this kind of swordsmanship would be simpler.
In the past, they had only heard that there was a way to go through the Daomen, but they never believed that the sword could be used for thousands of miles, although they also knew that the sword cultivation with deep internal strength could qi the sword, but they were far from thinking that this kind of martial artist could achieve the level of the sword for thousands of miles.
But when they saw this kid's swordsmanship today, they couldn't help but believe it, according to the strength and qi that this kid is showing now, not to mention the sword for thousands of miles, but it shouldn't be difficult to come to a hundred miles.
As surprised as this Huang Chengping and the woman surnamed Lin was the second master of Shuanglong Mountain, although he had only entered the second-grade realm for less than three years, but these three years were enough for him to spy on the third-grade scenery in the second-grade realm, although the knife he had just now was just a temptation, that is, it looked swift, but the kid's reaction was really too inappropriate!
I couldn't even see how he made a move, but as soon as he picked his finger, the long sword suspended in the air automatically hit his broadsword, and even when he raised his eyes to look, there was a huge gap in the body of the broadsword!
Stabilizing his arm that was a little numb, the second master of Ma thought secretly in his heart.
"Damn, this person's strength is so strong, I'm afraid that even the eldest brother who is about to enter the quasi-first-grade realm will not be able to please him, and although this person's qi is restrained, but at this moment, once I fight, I already feel that his strong qi seems to be not inferior to the original Duan Wudao, could it be... This kid has really stepped into the first-class realm at such a young age?"
After this thought came out, although Ma Teng's heart was still a little drummed, he had already decided not to fight with the kid in front of him, they Shuanglong Mountain can do it step by step, the big brother on the territory of Liaodong is naturally not a fool, they can offend three or four second-grade masters for a business, but they must not offend a first-grade master at will, even if this first-grade master is just suspicious.
"This young man is really good kung fu, my Shuanglong Mountain is recognized this time, if the young man is willing to leave from now on, my Shuanglong Mountain is willing to give 10,000 taels of silver!"
After seeing the kung fu of this unknown kid, Huang Chengping saw clearly that this person was the lifesaver sent to him by God, so he naturally couldn't watch it slip away at this moment, and after Ma Teng spoke, he also hurriedly said out loud.
"This young man, our Yongan Dart Bureau is also willing to present 10,000 taels of silver, just hope that the young man can save our lives, and in the future, the young man will send us Yongan Dart Bureau without saying anything. β
Jiang Ergou withdrew the bronze finch sword, and glanced at the nearly 100 corpses all over the ground with some silence, he didn't think it was a pity that these people died, the rice in the rivers and lakes was bloody, and if you want to eat it in your mouth, you naturally have to endure the smell of blood. Stumbling along the way, how could there be fewer people killed by him Jiang Ergou himself?
It's just that enough people have died today, although this river and lake is nothing good, but if one less person dies, it can continue to be a little more incense for this river and lake.
"This second master, you really don't want to stop and kill them all?"
Ma Teng said in a deep voice.
"This young man, all say that people fight for a breath of Buddha for a pillar of incense, our Shuanglong Mountain today to this point is no longer for this mere one or two thousand taels of silver goods, the original Eagle Gang Duan Wudao wanted to come to our Liaodong pole flag is not available, not to mention this small dart bureau and a martial arts family in a corner of Lingzhou, all say that the rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes, although I also know that the reputation of the thieves on our Liaodong territory is not very good, but there are some rules that we will still abide by, so today I also ask this young man not to interfereγ β
Jiang Ergou nodded frequently when he heard Ma Teng's words, but he didn't have any intention of throwing it away after listening to it, he looked at Ma Teng with a smile and said.
"The second master is willing to talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, although the rivers and lakes believe in the rules of the rivers and lakes, but the rivers and lakes believe more in the rules of whose fist is bigger, whose truth is harder. I'm here today, my fist is the biggest, so I'm up to me in everything, and if you don't believe it, you can choose to try again. β
After waiting quietly for a few breaths, Jiang Ergou found that the second master of Ma had no intention of speaking before continuing.
"What I'm going to say next is not to discuss with both of you, but my decision, I don't care what the grievances of the two of you will be in the future, but since I stand up today, I will make a decision for this matter, Yong'an Dart Bureau will compensate five thousand taels of silver for the passage, and Shuanglong Mountain will take the silver to settle the matter, even if this matter is over today, none of us can get by?"
After Jiang Ergou finished speaking, the scene fell silent, the Yongan Dart Bureau would rather give this kid 10,000 taels than spend 5,000 taels to pay for the road, Shuanglong Mountain would rather give up such a 20,000 taels of business and find trouble with the Yongan Dart Bureau.
As for the woman surnamed Lin, not only did she not feel grateful to Jiang Ergou and the others, but she also wrote resentment on her face, and looked at the two of them with a pair of beautiful eyes.
But no matter how unwilling they are, no one will speak now, just like Jiang Ergou said, there are many strange rules on the rivers and lakes, but the biggest rule is whoever has the hard fist.
Both sides were reluctant but had to do it, and after a long time, the Yongan Dart Bureau still paid the 5,000 taels to buy the road in the end, and the second master of Shuanglong Mountain was still a little unwilling even if he earned the 5,000 taels.
Let his men take the corpses of those dead mountain bandits, Ma Teng said one last word before leading people away.
"The young man was born with a chivalrous heart, I Ma Teng really admired it in my heart, today I will sell this young man a face in Shuanglong Mountain, but if the Yongan Dart Bureau still dares to take the road of my Shuanglong Mountain, then I don't know if they can meet a chivalrous man as kind as Shaoxia. β
Under the leadership of Ma Er's master, the bandits who originally stood like a tide on half of the mountain also retreated like a tide, leaving only the people and corpses of the Yongan Dart Bureau in their place.
When the Yongan Dart Bureau came out of Lingzhou, there were nearly 200 people, but only about half of them were still standing at this time. Huang Chengping felt sad in his heart, but he really didn't know what to say at this time, and after ordering the people under his hand who were not injured to bury the bodies on the spot, he walked towards Jiang Ergou and them alone.
"Thank you for this young man's righteous action, if it weren't for the young man's help today, all of us would have died here. β
Before Jiang Ergou could say a few polite words, a yin and yang strange woman's voice came out beside him.
"Hey, a person like him is also worthy of being called a chivalrous character? β
Huang Chengping was a little embarrassed for a while, this eldest lady of the Lin family was used to living a comfortable life, so naturally she didn't know the sophistication of some people in the rivers and lakes, he had the heart to say two sentences, but Jiang Ergou took the first step and asked the woman surnamed Lin.
"This girl, I just saved you, so that you were saved from being snatched back by others to be the wife of the village, you don't say thank you to me, but there is no need to be sarcastic to me. β
The resentment on the woman's face did not decrease, but gradually deepened.
"What can you do if the bandits of Shuanglong Mountain block the road and rob them all in broad daylight?
Hearing this, Jiang Ergou laughed.
"Girl, if you say so, I didn't help you today but helped those bandits, then I helped the gang to abuse?"
The woman surnamed Lin asked angrily.
"Isn't it?"
Jiang Ergou said with a smile on his face.
"How can you conclude that helping you is good? Helping those mountain bandits is evil? If you, a little girl, can tell people good and evil at a glance, then why do you need Lord Yama's book of life and death?"
The woman surnamed Lin continued.
"Those mountain bandits block the road to take people's money and money, and kill people's lives, it's not evil, if they are all good in your mouth, then I really don't know what evil is. β
He Huaichun was happy to watch this good show, and said in a weird way next to him.
"Hehe, surnamed Jiang, didn't you say that as long as you grasp the opportunity, you don't worry about the girl not making a promise, now look at it, it's useless for you to seize the right time!"
Jiang Ergou ignored He Huaichun, and the smile on his face not only did not diminish but felt very funny.
It's just that Huang Chengping, who is an old Jianghu, blushed a little on the side, he wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know how to speak. In the end, Jiang Ergou looked at the angry beautiful woman in front of him and said slowly.
"If the bandits of Shuanglong Mountain really burn and rob ordinary people, then they are naturally evil, but it would be too much to say that they intercept the road is evil, you ask yourself, those sects and gangs in the rivers and lakes dressed in the cloak of righteousness, are there still fewer things to destroy people in private? Besides, it's true that you darts hate these bandits, but in our eyes, you are actually no different from those bandits, they all open the door to do business, which is nothing more than what you do is a business with a foundation, and others are just a business without a foundation. β
Without giving the woman a chance to speak, Jiang Ergou paused and continued.
"Then even if what you said is right, I killed them all, but I can kill ten people and a hundred people, and I can kill thousands of people? Do you know how many bandits there are on this Shuanglong Mountain?"
"How much?"
The woman surnamed Lin asked puzzled, and Jiang Ergou did not answer this question, but moved her gaze to He Huaichun.
"Crane boy, you come and tell him. β
"I'll go, you don't know either, I thought you knew!"
Jiang Ergou was a little angry.
"You're not talking nonsense, it's the first time I've come to this Shuanglong Mountain, and I know how many of them there are. β
He Huaichun coughed twice, and then pretended to be serious.
"You guys can listen well, this Shuanglong Mountain is the largest cottage in Liaodong, the number of people on the mountain, from the leaders of the whole family, to the sentinels patrolling the mountain, the minions guarding the door, some chopping wood, boiling water, cooking and some family members, it is conservatively estimated that there are at least nearly 5,000 people on this Shuanglong Mountain!"
Hearing He Huaichun's words, Huang Chengping was okay as a well-informed old Jianghu, and he was not surprised, but in addition, even Jiang Ergou felt that this number exceeded his expectations.
"Ahem, um... That's right, do you think I can wipe out all these 5,000 people? And if I kill those few people who are in charge of the house, who will the rest of these people rely on for food? Do you dare to guarantee that after these people are killed, the remaining people will not be heinous? When the time comes, it will be a disaster to the people around them to be raised by these real wicked people and become the boss. β
The woman surnamed Lin was shocked when she heard Jiang Ergou's analysis, she was a little speechless, he used to do some so-called chivalrous and righteous things, all of which were based on momentary joy but never considered the consequences, no wonder sometimes after she rescued people, those people not only did not appreciate her, but also thought she was nosy.
Looking at the beautiful woman who was a little distracted, Jiang Ergou had no intention of continuing to stay here, and left with He Huaichun after saying goodbye to Huang Chengping.
The woman surnamed Lin laughed at herself after coming back to her senses, and then said goodbye to Huang Chengping and left, just looking at the direction she left, wasn't it the direction Jiang Ergou and them left before.
