Chapter 16: Friendship
At this time, although Meiyin was wronged, she was very grateful to see that Brother Qin could stand up for herself. So she obediently got up and went to the back of the shop to freshen up.
Subsequently, the two finished eating, paid for the meal, and went out to continue their journey.
At this time, the guest who had been sitting next to them to eat also smiled bitterly in his heart when he saw the emotional entanglement between them. He took a sip of wine and sighed with a smile: "The world is full of crazy children, and how many are in pairs." Then he called the store to come and settle the bill.
This person is none other than the "Hundred Steps Divine Fist" Kang Biao.
It turned out that one day after Jia Shenyi left, he rushed home with a haggard face, ready to tell him the news of Wangmen's sneak attack on the Aoki Gang. I didn't know that I couldn't see his figure, and later I heard that Jia Shenyi had rushed to Ezhou to do business. He hurriedly asked his subordinates to pack up and hurried to Ezhou. I didn't want to meet Qin Lianfeng and the three of them in this foot shop.
Kang Biao rushed all the way to Ezhou City, and it was already two o'clock in the evening. He found an inn to settle in, and was going to rest for the night to look for Jia Shenyi. But he has been worried about Jia Shenyi in his heart. So he changed his way and prepared to go to the king's gate.
He had eaten something at the inn first, and then walked all the way to the king's gate. Standing at the door of the royal gate, looking from a distance, there was a strange vitality in the royal gate, which made Kang Biao's heart even more worried.
Suddenly, he saw a dark shadow flying behind him, and he immediately followed. I saw the black shadow running towards the back door, and seeing that there was no one around, he climbed over the wall and entered the king's gate with a brisk step.
Kang Biao saw that this person was agile and familiar with the path, and immediately guessed that it was an assassin who had come to the king's gate to assassinate. Thinking that he could take advantage of it, he hurriedly pulled out a sweat towel from his waist, covered his face, and quietly jumped into the courtyard with the man in black.
Kang Biao followed closely behind, and when he saw that the movements of the man in black were a little familiar, he secretly thought: It can't be Brother Jia. But he was still unsure, so he had to follow all the way.
I saw the man in black suddenly jump into the room and run along the ridge of the roof towards the brightly lit courtyard.
Kang Biao also jumped into the room and followed him from a distance, trying not to let him find out.
I saw the man in black leaning over a house, as if he heard someone talking under the house, so he gently lifted a piece of tiles, revealing a hole.
The man in black looked down, but heard several people talking.
I only heard someone say: "Door master, the remnants of the Aoki Gang have made a lot of trouble in the fish market in the past two days, and I can't control it, do you think you want to send some more people?"
The person who is called the master of the door is Wang Zhixing, who has been the master of the royal gate in Ezhou for many years, and is known as the "Black Yama King" by the people of the rivers and lakes.
I saw him sitting in a chair at this time, looking sideways at the man. Looking at his appearance, he was about forty-eight or nineteen years old, of medium stature, with a long face, one-line eyebrows, an eagle hooked nose, and a pair of resolute little eyes, which looked particularly shrewd.
He touched a handful of goatee under his mouth, and said to the man with a relaxed face, "Don't worry, I'll send someone with you tomorrow." ”
The man hurriedly said: "Yes, my subordinates will definitely wipe out the Aoki Gang this time." ”
Wang Zhixing said to the man: "Those are poor people who are dying and struggling, so there is nothing to worry about. You have to pay attention to the masters who will emerge next, and they are your real enemies. ”
The man, of course, understood what he meant, and stood silent.
Wang Zhixing asked again: "By the way, Mr. Zhou, how did the person I asked you to check did doing?"
Zhou Xiaoyan, the housekeeper next to him, hurriedly replied: "The spies have been investigating these days, but they haven't found the whereabouts of the man in black yet." However, according to the descriptions of Ding Long and Zhou Zhi, I suspect that the thief that night and the masked man who rescued Liu Rong at the dock may be the same person. And it is Jia Shenyi, the former leader of the Aoki Gang. ”
Wang Zhixing's face immediately fell, and he sighed: "He will come sooner or later." ”
Zhou Xiaoyan said: "If he really came, it would be impossible for the people of the Aoki Gang not to contact him, and I will definitely send more people to keep an eye on the Aoki Gang after I go down." ”
Wang Zhixing said: "This is the best, don't let him make trouble again." ”
Wang Zhixing paused for a moment, and then asked, "By the way, have you found out the news of Min'er?" Why haven't you seen her come back after so many days? ”
Zhou Xiaoyan said: "The two guards who followed her came back and said that she had gone to Tokyo to play, and she would come back in a few days." ”
Wang Zhixing looked at Zhou Xiaoyan and said, "Confused, a few of Min'er's words are true and a few are false, can't you tell the difference?"
Zhou Xiaoyan was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed down and blamed himself: "It's the subordinates who failed to investigate, and after I go back, I will immediately send someone to arrest those two guards and let them make it clear in person." "I'm leaving.
Wang Zhixing hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait." ”
Zhou Xiaoyan stood up and asked, "What else does the door master command?"
Wang Zhixing said: "You write a letter immediately, send someone to Tokyo, and let Lord Yang help find it." ”
Zhou Xiaoyan took the order and left.
Wang Zhixing saw that the hour was not early, and said to the other person: "Okay, the hour is not early, you can also go down and rest." And the man took his leave.
At this moment, a cat chased a mouse and broke in.
The man couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the mouse climbing up the beam of the house along the pillar, and the cat was still chasing after the bunk with all his might.
That Wang Zhixing looked up, but inadvertently found a hole in the roof, and immediately saw a pair of eyes in the hole, and he immediately shouted: "Who is up there?"
When the man in black on the roof saw that he was discovered, he immediately got up and fled.
Seeing the situation, the man hurried out to chase after him.
Zhou Xiaoyan, the housekeeper who went out first, heard the movement and hurriedly shouted: "Someone, there are assassins, come and catch the assassins." Immediately, the guards patrolling the neighborhood were alarmed, and everyone ran towards this courtyard.
Seeing the assassin fleeing from the roof, he hurriedly chased after him on the roof.
Wang Zhixing followed behind him and casually threw a dart at the man in black.
said that it was too late, and Kang Biao, who had been ambushed nearby, saw Wang Zhixing's darts flying behind the man in black in a hurry, and shouted, "Be careful behind." He hurriedly lifted a tile and threw it at the dart, trying to knock it down.
The man in black hurriedly turned over with a harrier and slashed in the air with a sword, just in time to knock the dart down, and then he nodded to Kang Biao in gratitude.
When the man in black saw He Lu and Wang Zhixing chasing after him, he immediately picked up the tiles with his sword and threw them at them.
Kang Biao also quickly shot a dozen moves and a hundred steps of the Divine Fist at the two of them, and the impact of the Divine Fist lifted all the tiles on the house and flew towards them like a storm.
He Lu saw the two of them fleeing quickly, and hurriedly swung his sword left and right to resist the flying tiles, and later wanted to chase them.
Wang Zhixing, who was next to him, immediately stopped him and said, "Don't chase it." ”
He Lu asked, "Master, why don't you chase after you?"
The two watched as the man in black disappeared into the night.
Wang Zhixing looked at him and said with a strange smile: "Punching at such a long distance, and having such a big impact, who else is there on the rivers and lakes except for the hundred-step divine fist Kang Biao." ”
He Lu suddenly realized at this time, and asked: "Could it be that the man in black is Jia Shenyi, the former leader of the Aoki Gang?"
Wang Zhixing smiled and said without saying a word: "Let's go down first, it seems that I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep well in the future." ”
He Lu had no choice but to follow the master down.
Wang Zhixing looked at Zhou Xiaoyan and stood in front of him with his head bowed, and rebuked him softly: "In just a few days, there have been two assassin break-ins, and you, the head of the royal gate, will not escape the blame." ”
Zhou Xiaoyan hurriedly knelt down and said: "It's a dereliction of duty by my subordinates, please ask the door master to surrender." ”
Wang Zhixing said: "Everyone knows that my Wang Zhixing has always had clear rewards and punishments, but I remember that you have done your best in the royal gate for so many years, and I will spare you this time." Would you like to deduct only three months' salary?"
Zhou Xiaoyan said simply: "My subordinates are willing, thank you for the master's forgiveness." ”
Wang Zhixing said: "Get up, go and arrange the manpower for the night patrol." ”
Zhou Xiaoyan hurriedly led people to go.
Wang Zhixing looked at the people who came one after another, and said, "Okay, there were no casualties just now, let's all go down and rest." ”
The people obeyed and departed.
That Wang Zhixing stopped the four heroes of the royal gate again and said, "You go to the study with me first." ”
In the study, Wang Zhixing looked at the four disciples in front of him, and he was very pleased.
The eldest apprentice Sun Cheng, the eldest of the four Jerry of the Wangmen, nicknamed "Lijie". He has just turned twenty-six years old this year, he is handsome, extraordinary, a fan made of stainless steel, and he has few enemies. It's just that he is weak and often coughs, which makes people feel distressed. Among the four, he is the most intelligent and clever, knows everything thoroughly, knows books and respects teachers, so he is most praised by Wang Zhixing.
The second apprentice, Zhou Zhi, is known as "Jianjie". He is only twenty-five years old this year, and among the four, his martial arts are the highest, especially his swordsmanship, and no one in the royal family is invincible except for the master of the sect. He likes to be competitive, has a strong personality, and never easily convinces people, so he has participated in many things in the royal family, and is most valued by Wang Zhixing.
The third apprentice, Jin Kun, is known as "Wine Jie" because he loves to drink and often does not get drunk after a thousand cups. He is twenty-four years old this year, because he was born unable to speak, is a mute, and is often snubbed, so he loves to stay alone, pick up a wine jug and drink, and gradually develop a cold and lonely character. It's just that he is tall and has a good figure for practicing martial arts, so Wang Zhixing passed on a set of marksmanship. often let him go out with people to help collect the bills, but no one dared to default. It's just that his natural defects also make Wang Zhixing take the most care of him.
The fourth apprentice, He Lu, the youngest of the four Jerry of the Wangmen, is only twenty-two years old this year. He was born with a melancholy appearance, because he was secretly in love with the eldest lady Wang Tong, he was trapped by love, but he never dared to confess to her in person, so he got the name of "love master". He practiced swords like Zhou Zhi, but the gap was a notch. It's just that he is the youngest, and he is obedient to Wang Zhixing, very well-behaved, even though his martial arts are not good, but he is the most loved by Wang Zhixing.
It is true that the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the younger son.
