Volume 1 This is not a reckless person in the rivers and lakes Chapter 40 The bright moon urges people to walk
His eyes finally fell on the left leg that Liu Lao Wu dragged behind him, and the dark red knife marks had already turned the skin and flesh outward, but fortunately, the wound was not deep, otherwise it would be difficult to save this left leg. Liu Lao Wuqiang supported his body, withstood the cold wind, and dragged his lame feet for several miles on the rugged and difficult mountain road, his old face was like a pig's liver, his cheeks were swollen, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.
The shopkeeper saw that he looked strange, so he was already on guard, reached under the table with his left hand and took out a dagger that was dangling, held it in his hand, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and asked tentatively: "Your Excellency is a person from the rivers and lakes?"
Liu Lao Wu's eyes widened, but he never said a word, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the blood mist fell on the account table, and then he was paralyzed and sat aside. When the shopkeeper saw this scene, he was stunned in place, and after a while he came back to his senses, hurriedly hid the dagger in his arms, turned around from behind the account, squatted down, and held the Liu Lao Wu.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency's name. The shopkeeper asked.
Liu Lao Wu raised his hands tremblingly, clenched his fists breathlessly and said, "In the next ...... The Qinling River is overlooked...... It is called Hengjiang Hulu, and Duan Lao Wu is also. "Liu Lao Wu is the overlord of the Qinling River area, and his reputation is also quite loud among the water thieves.
Water thieves are widely distributed, and the factions are clear, as long as they have the ability, strength, and power, they can have their own waters after breaking out of the world. When the shopkeeper heard this, he was also quite surprised, and opened his mouth slightly, but he was suspicious and did not dare to believe it. After all, he had never seen the real Liu Lao Wu.
Liu Lao Wu saw that he was suspicious, so he sat up again and said, "A few boats cross the clouds and rain." The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "The stormy waves are sailing! Oh, it is really Liu Wuye, the little one has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and I hope that Liu Wuye will take care of it." With that, he pulled a bench and helped Liu Lao Wu get up and sit at the table.
This is a black language exchanged among the water thieves, and different factions have different code words, so it will not be wrong to identify them. Liu Lao Wu leaned against the Eight Immortals table with his back, leaned on the bench, and pressed his chest, his breath gradually stabilized, and his face improved a lot. The shopkeeper knelt down on one knee, clenched his fists and said, "The little one is the outpost of the Jiangnan Branch of the Whale Shark Gang, Wang He." Responsible for the faΓ§ade of this Dongshan Inn and the reception of fellow travelers. β
Although the gang of water thieves is different, they all make a living by robbing in this river, lake and sea, and they are naturally familiar, and they are considered their own brothers. The Whale Shark Gang is the largest gang in the rivers, lakes and seas, with a wide range of power, and it is said that the imperial court once sent people to clean it up, but it was killed and returned. It shows how terrifying the strength of the Whale Shark Gang is.
The Whale Shark Gang is divided into six major rudders, entrenched in the rivers and lakes, and this Jiangnan rudder is one of them, the Dongshan outpost is the Dongshan Inn on this nameless mountain, extremely remote, but it is one of the important hubs of the Jiangnan rudder of the Whale Shark Gang, an important place to collect intelligence and entertain colleagues. To outsiders, it seems to be just an ordinary inn, but in the eyes of the water thieves, this is a place for their own rest.
The wine banner hanging high at the door of the "swallowing the river and sea" is a secret word, so that the water thieves who come and go can see it and know what kind of place it is. And although Liu Lao Wu said that he had no door and no faction, his reputation spread in the rivers and lakes, and everyone knew that no one knew the elusive Hengjiang law on the Qinling River, and no one knew that the old fisherman who looked kind and kind was actually a vicious killing god who wanted people's money and lives.
Liu Lao Wu is a well-known old-timer among the water thieves, and Wang He naturally wants to be a guest. Immediately went to the wine jar to beat a corner of wine, put it in the hot soup and warmed it for a while, and then held it in both hands and brought it to the old man in front of Liu Laowu. Liu Lao Wu was also not angry, snatched the wine glass and drank it all, the warm wine rolled into his throat, slid a few drops down the corners of his mouth, and soaked the gray beard on his chin.
After drinking the wine, his hand was slapped on the table, and it was smashed. Wang He looked at the wine glass that had been shattered, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked at the iron-faced Liu Lao Wu, and asked cautiously: "Where did Liu Wuye come from, where are you going, why do you want to come to my Dongshan Inn?"
Liu Lao Wu pulled his injured leg on the bench, and pinched the fragments of the wine glass in his hands, the bones creaked, and let the sharp fragments cut the rough skin, oozing red blood, and refused to let go. snorted coldly, and said: "If you don't take revenge, Lao Tzu will not be a man!"
"I don't know which one of those who is not long-eyed dares to provoke Liu Wuye?" Wang He took another glass of wine, put it aside, pondered for a moment and added with a smile: "The small shop is a small profit, please be merciful to Liu Wuye's subordinates, don't crush this wine glass again, but if there is any anger, please sprinkle Liu Wuye on the small body." β
"Hmph, what does this matter have to do with you? Lao Tzu wants to see the Jiangnan helmsman of the Whale Shark Gang, and if you have something to ask for, you can quickly introduce it, and don't delay the hour. Liu Lao Wu half-tilted his head, put on a lofty appearance, and said extremely arrogantly. It seems that in his eyes, the Jiangnan helmsman of the Whale Shark Gang is just a late-born junior, "I think that Yan Shunan, the helmsman of the Jiangnan Gang, is a descendant of Lao Tzu, when he succeeded to the post of the Jiangnan helmsman of the Whale Shark Gang, he also invited Lao Tzu to drink a glass of wine? Even he has to respect Lao Tzu for three points, what are you!"
Wang He was insulted for no reason, and he was not angry, but only scolded this Liu Lao Wu thousands of times in his heart. With an embarrassed face, he sat awkwardly on the side, but was kicked by Liu Lao Wu with his eyes, and he was so startled that he stood up again, waited aside, and patiently explained: "Don't hide it from Liu Wuye, this matter is not trivial." Our Whale Shark Gang also has the rules of the Whale Shark Gang, even if Liu Wuye comes, the rules can't be broken. The affairs of our main rudder are complicated, and it is not something that can be seen when you see it. β
When Liu Lao Wu heard this, he stared at the pair of bull's eyes, his angry eyebrows were upside down, his lips trembled, and he couldn't wait to stand up and slap Wang He, who was not long-eyed, who wanted to get up as soon as he was about to get up, but he was injured in his left leg, and he gasped in pain, holding back and refusing to scream, the old face became pale again, and said word by word: "Take some gold sore medicine!"
Wang He was a little dazed, and hurriedly asked, "What does the fifth master command?"
"Bring some gold sore medicine!" Liu Lao Wu hated it so much that his teeth were itching, if it weren't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he would definitely turn this Dongshan Inn upside down. And that Wang He received the order and said yes, so he went to the back hall to get a bottle of gold sore medicine, squatted down and rolled up his trouser leg for Liu Lao Wu, applied the wound medicine, and respectfully bandaged him, put down his trouser leg, and did not dare to slack off.
Liu Lao Wu was comfortably served, drank three cups in a row, removed the cold air, warmed his abdomen, was in a good mood, and the pain of the wound was reduced a lot, so he said: "Okay, okay, get up." Wang He stood up respectfully again, nodded and waited aside.
"Then tell me, what are the rules of your Whale Shark Gang, how can Lao Tzu meet your Jiangnan helmsman Yan Shunan. Liu Lao Wu asked patiently, and waved his hand to signal Wang He to sit down.
Wang He was overjoyed, sat on the side and explained: "Back to Fifth Master Liu, according to the rules of the Whale Shark Gang, this outpost inn is an important hub for our gang to collect intelligence and entertain the passage, but if there are fellow people in the rivers and lakes who meet us or ask for our help, they must abide by the rules of our gang." Explain the intention and reward, and hand it over to the shopkeeper of the inn to pass the book to the rudder, of course, the person in charge of the Dongshan Inn is under it, and then the rudder will decide, and only after receiving the reply can you decide whether to bring the person into the rudder. β
"You bird gang break a lot of rules! In this case, why don't you quickly repair a book, hand it to Yan Shunan overnight, and explain that it is me Liu Lao Wu who wants to see him, and he will ask you to take me into the rudder. Liu Lao Wu scolded with a disdainful smile, shaking his finger and commanding.
But Wang He didn't move at all, and bowed down with a wry smile and said, "Since this is the case, please ask the fifth master to explain his intentions." Liu Lao Wu ignored the injured leg, stood up suddenly, pointed at Wang He and scolded angrily: "You are so rude! Repeatedly offended Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu said, you explain to Yan Shunan that Lao Tzu wants to see him, he will send eight sedan chairs to carry Lao Tzu into the Whale Shark Gang, how can you ask questions here and be so presumptuous?"
After that, if you grab the collar of the king crane, you will be beaten well. Who knew that Wang He's face was fearless, his heart was not timid, he was still indifferent, with a smile on his face, looking directly at Liu Lao Wu who was full of anger, and said slowly:
"Don't hide it from the fifth master, the rules are the rules, the whale shark gang has survived until now, and has become the largest gang in the rivers, lakes and seas, and is not afraid of the imperial court's purge, because the rules are strict. No one has ever been able to, and no one dares to break the rules of the Whale Shark Gang. Today's little courage please weigh the fifth master, do you dare to be the first person in the world!"
Liu Lao Wu was stunned when he heard this, his face changed slightly, and Fang Cai used the strength of wine to play a brutal temper, but now that he has sobered up, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and he refuses to lose face, so he asked: "Are you threatening Lao Tzu? Aren't you afraid that Lao Tzu will kill you first, and then kill the Jiangnan rudder and find Yan Shunan to settle accounts?"
Wang He sneered and said: "With all due respect, the fifth master is here to ask for my whale shark gang today? If you really have the ability to make a big fuss about the Jiangnan rudder of the Whale Shark Gang, how can you come to this Dongshan Inn in disgrace? Besides, if you kill me today, it will be useless, the rules of the whale shark gang are still there, but you have formed a bond with the whale shark gang, don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon." β
Although this statement is overt and ironic, it makes Liu Lao Wu extremely ugly, but it is the last word. If Liu Lao Wu kills this Wang He today, I am afraid that he will have to hide and hide for the rest of his life, avoiding the pursuit and killing of the Whale Shark Gang. Hengjiang Hulu, who once competed for hegemony, didn't want to have a time when he was down, it was the tiger that fell in Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and Longyou Shoal was played by shrimp.
Letting go of the hand holding Wang He's collar, Liu Lao Wu let out a long sigh.
