Chapter 11 The road is narrow

said that Xu Zhi jumped into the ring of the martial arts competition, saved Huifeng, and continued to fight with He Menglong of the Changjiao Gang. He Menglong fought with Xu Zhiyi, and saw that the routines of his boxing techniques were similar to those used by Hui Feng before, but his one move and one style were more stable and powerful than Hui Feng.

He Menglong didn't dare to be careless, and struggled to support a hundred moves, some of which he couldn't resist. He wanted to repeat the old trick again, and made a trick "Fish Dead Net Break", this "Fish Dead Net Break" is also one of the three lore of the Changjiao Gang, when encountering a strong enemy can not win, deliberately lose the confession, and when the other party is defenseless, shoot a hidden dart with a hidden arrow and assassinate it.

Xu Zhi had the lesson of Huifeng's plot, and he had more experience with the volley along the way, and slowly gained some experience in the rivers and lakes, and he was not as impetuous and eager to win as Huifeng.

Xu Zhi saw He Menglong bow to him and admit defeat, and slowly returned the bow, but suddenly saw He Menglong straighten up and shoot a sleeve arrow at him, he was taken aback, and quickly turned over a carp and dodged a sleeve arrow.

He Menglong didn't wait for Xu Zhi to react, and shot out two high and low sleeve arrows, Xu Zhi lowered his head to dodge one, rolled down the ground, copied with his right hand, caught one, and sent the sleeve arrow out with his backhand, hitting He Menglong's right eye and piercing his brain.

He Menglong covered his bloodied right eye, threw himself in the ring, and couldn't help but let out a burst of "whoop" screams. The disciples of the Changjiao Gang saw that their deputy gang leader was climbing and rolling in front of everyone, and he was so ugly that he had to send a few big men to carry him off the stage.

The heroes under the ring saw that Xu Zhi saved Huifeng in the competition arena and defeated He Menglong, there was a commotion, and a gang shouted: "He Menglong secretly hurts people with an arrow, Xu Zhi is the way to use his son, return his body, fight well, fight happily!", another gang booed: "Governor Yue's Jiao Gang is known as the world's first underwater kung fu, but I didn't expect that kung fu on land is so vulnerable!"

More than a dozen disciples of the Changjiao Gang listened to the discussions around them, and they were unbearable, and shouted in unison: "Kill Xu Zhi, why do you want the deputy gang leader to take revenge!"

Besides, Zhou Yuanzhi was taking care of the semi-comatose Huifeng under the ring, while cheering for Xu Zhi on the field, this action not only attracted the vicious eyes of the disciples of the Changjiao Gang, but also attracted the attention of the disciples of other gangs. When those young disciples saw that the other party was a lonely and beautiful girl, they were even more fearless, and many frivolous disciples were salivating and came to tease.

After a while, several dissolute young men, with a lewd smile on their faces, holding a long sword, surrounded Zhou Yuanzhi and Huifeng in the center, Zhou Yuanzhi was not afraid, took the first step, a "fight to turn the stars", turned to the back of a strong man, the man never thought that a weak woman like Zhou Yuanzhi would also martial arts, and after a little hesitation, the long sword in his hand was taken away by Zhou Yuanzhi.

While Zhou Yuanzhi was struggling to defend the door with a long sword, she deliberately commented on the martial arts of each sect and provoked contradictions between them. The disciples of each sect are incompatible, and they all want to show their unique skills to win the praise of the beauty, so as long as there are disciples who sneak attack Zhou Yuanzhi, there are disciples of other sects who obstruct them from the side, and heroes save the beauty. In this way, it was originally the covetousness of a few prodigal disciples for Zhou Yuanzhi, but it turned into a group fight and fight between several major sects.

The various sects fought with each other for a while, and several disciples were injured and died, at this time, He Jin, the candidate of the Vermilion Bird Gate, shouted: "Everyone, please stop, and listen to me, our major sects received the invitation of the Yellow King, and came to Caizhou together, everyone came thousands of miles to meet, fair competition and skills, how can it hurt the harmony, even if only one of us can win the Yellow King Princess, everyone must admire his outstanding talent, how can he attack him in a group, and break the rules of the rivers and lakes!"

Zhu Fu, a candidate for the Divine Dragon Sect, also said: "What Lord He said is extremely true, everyone is a family from all over the world, all of them are brothers, and it is really not worth it to fight for a woman, hurt the harmony, and spoil the great event of the Yellow King!"

The disciples of the Vermilion Bird Sect and the Divine Dragon Sect all began to stop fighting, but the disciples of the other 6 major sects were still eyeing each other, unwilling to give up the beauties at their fingertips. A disciple of the Black Eagle Sect shouted: "Yelu Gang Master, your subordinates have followed you to fight in the south and the north, and they have made a lot of small achievements, and they have not yet started a family. This time, you are determined to win the princess of the Yellow King, and the villain is unwilling to give up on the beautiful woman in front of him!"

Ye Luchun of the Black Eagle Sect sneered: "If there is a big chaos today, the country is all capable people, let alone a beauty?

The disciples of the Black Eagle Sect listened to Ye Luchun's words, and despite the strong enemies of various factions, they actually took Zhou Yuanzhi directly.

At this time, Xu Zhi had already defeated He Menglong in the ring, he saw this scene, jumped off the stage, protected Zhou Yuanzhi, and used Wudang Mian to push left and right, instantly repelling the siege of Zhou Yuanzhi by several Black Eagle disciples. Zhou Yuanzhi was very happy in her heart, but she said in her mouth: "Master, you have worked hard in the martial arts competition, let's rest first." ”

Xu Zhi replied: "Yuan Zhi, you protect Senior Brother Huifeng first, I can still deal with these madmen." But there were more and more gangs pouring over from the audience, and Xu Zhi gradually couldn't support it.

At this time, Yun Feiyang and Zhou Chen also surrounded him, and Xu Zhi thought to himself: "It's not good, this time I really met a wolf in front of me and a tiger in the back." How do you know that Yun Feiyang shouted loudly to the platform: "King Huang, Daoist Zhiguang, now there is a mess under the martial arts stage, and you won't send anyone to stop it?"

At this time, Huang Chao stood on the Yanyu Tower, and also saw the chaos under the competition platform, the disciples of various factions sought revenge against each other, fought fiercely with weapons, and even openly robbed the property of the onlookers. Huang Chao hurriedly ordered, so that the surrounding troops were on guard, if anyone dared to continue to disrupt the competition, not to mention killing, suddenly hundreds of tiger warriors armed with spears, bows and arrows, surrounded layer by layer, and the audience suddenly settled down a lot.

Yun Feiyang smiled at Zhou Yuanzhi, walked directly to Xu Zhi's side, and quipped: "Xu Zhi, Wu Tingshi and I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be hit by the tiger's heart-breaking fist, fall into the river and survive, there is such a beautiful lover by your side, it's so good, it's really enviable!"

Xu Zhi replied without humility or arrogance: "These are all gifts from Lord Baiyun and General Zhou! I would like to thank the two adults today!"

Zhou Chen heard the provocation in Xu Zhi's words, and pulled out the sword in his hand and was about to step forward to fight. Yun Feiyang hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and reproached: "General Zhou, you step back first, I have a few words to say to Xu Zhi and them alone." ”

Zhou Chen had to take a few steps back, and Yun Feiyang said to Xu Zhi: "Xu Zhi, we offended you a lot in Runzhou before, these are all misunderstandings, you also know that we do things for the imperial court, and we have to do a lot of things that violate conscience and morality, and that is also involuntarily, now General Ben officially apologizes to you, I hope you don't care about your past suspicions." ”

Xu Zhi saw that Yun Feiyang's attitude towards himself suddenly became ambiguous, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he "snorted" in his nose and didn't continue to speak. Zhou Yuanzhi on the side scolded: "This adult is too good at foolishness, he wants to kill Brother Xu several times, and now a few simple apologies can be written off?"

Yun Feiyang smiled: "What a sharp-toothed girl, Xu Zhi should not be too lonely with you by his side." This is also his good fortune!", Zhou Yuanzhi was speechless and embarrassed in a few words.

Yun Feiyang continued: "Xu Zhi, now that the imperial court is employing people, you already have a beautiful woman by your side, why bother to take refuge in the traitor Huang Chao again, what kind of horse to be his horse? ”

Yun Feiyang saw that Xu Zhi didn't speak, and wanted to continue to woo him, but was interrupted by Zhou Yuanzhi: "What's so good about the imperial court, if the imperial court is dedicated to the common people in the world, there won't be so many lonely and homeless people in the world." If you want me to say, Brother Xu, you would rather take refuge in the Yellow King and raise your arms for the people, rather than be willing to fall and be an eagle dog of the court. ”

Xu Zhi glanced at Zhou Yuanzhi in surprise, and thought: I usually look at her weak and weak, but I didn't expect her to say such a thing today, it seems that she is by no means an ordinary person who has fled, is she a person from Huangchao? He didn't dare to continue to think about it.

At this time, Hui Feng gradually regained his senses, and was also taken aback when he heard Zhou Yuanzhi's discussion, looked at her blankly for a long time, and echoed: "Brother Xu, Miss Zhou's words are reasonable, we can't be used by the court to kill the people!"

Xu Zhi saw that Zhou Yuanzhi and Yun Feiyang were looking at him, as if waiting for his decision, and replied: "Miss Zhou is right, today's court is corrupt, the place is rotten, and the people are in dire straits. ”

Yun Feiyang saw that he was not speculative with Xu Zhi and the others, and sighed: "Xu Zhi, the eldest husband has something to do and something not to do." General Ben hopes that you will think carefully, and you will not become a thief for a day and tarnish the loyalty of your ancestors for generations!" Obviously, Yun Feiyang had something to say, and Xu Zhi also chuckled in his heart, I, an ordinary person, have become a loyal martyr.

Just as Xu Zhi, Yun Feiyang and others were arguing in the ring, soldiers were constantly surrounding to disperse the troublesome crowd. Yun Feiyang saw that there were people from Huangchao all around, afraid that his identity in the imperial court would be exposed, and it would be dangerous to continue to stay in Yanyu Tower, so he hurriedly made a look and asked Zhou Chen to continue to stay in Caizhou secretly, and he took a few people to take advantage of the chaos in the audience and hurriedly withdrew from Caizhou City.

After Huang Chao knew that Caizhou City was mixed with the spies of the imperial court, he was furious and ordered a search of the whole city one by one, tossing for several days, turning Caizhou City through the sky and the earth, and did not catch any suspicious people.

In order to strictly investigate the court spies in Caizhou City, Huang Chao ordered the whole city to be under martial law for half a month from the Lantern Festival to the second day of February, prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving Caizhou City, and the originally scheduled second phase of the literary examination was also postponed for half a month. Subsequently, Huang Chao asked Huang He, Shang Rang and others to invite heroes from all walks of life to live in the newly built Yingbin and Juxian buildings in the east of Caizhou City.

This welcome and juxian building is three floors high, the eaves are warped, the carved railings are painted, it is the largest two inns in Caizhou City, there are nearly 100 guest rooms, and can accommodate nearly 1,000 people to stay and eat and drink. In addition, the food and service of these two inns are also first-class, it is said that these two inns are built by Huang Chao after laying down Caizhou City, the purpose is to recruit the world's wise men, such as today's heroes as long as they mention Caizhou City, no one knows the new welcome and Juxian Hall in the city, and no one knows how Huang Chao humbly accepts valleys and recruits talents.

Besides, after Xu Zhi and the three of them received Huang Chao's invitation, they politely refused to move into Juxian Building several times, but Shang Rang sent people to keep inviting them warmly, visiting every three days, asking to see them on the fifth day, and even Shang Rang personally brought Huang Chao's invitations and gifts to urge the three of them to move, and the three of them were helpless, so they had to live in the two innermost rooms on the third floor of Juxian Building. Xu Zhi and Huifeng are in one room, next to Zhou Yuanzhi's room. In addition, the third floor also houses more than twenty people from the Black Eagle Sect, the second floor houses a group of people from the East China Sea Shenlong Sect, and the first floor houses the children of Jinju Shenque Gate and Yue Governor Jiao Gang.

As the saying goes, it's really a narrow road, and He Menglong, the deputy gang leader of the Changjiao Gang on the martial arts platform that day, was blinded by Xu Zhi in his right eye because of his plot against Huifeng and Xu Zhi. Now, the two enemies live in the same building, so the enemies are particularly red when they meet. Especially because He Menglong had a facial injury, half of his face was wrapped in bandages, and only his squinting left eye was exposed, when he walked there, he would hear some unbearable discussions, and the disciples of other sects upstairs and downstairs also laughed at him secretly: "Look, it's the one-eyed dragon of the Changjiao Gang, who plots against others, and loses rice instead of stealing chickens, it's really self-inflicted, and he deserves this catastrophe!"

Although He Menglong's city mansion was extremely deep and his belly was huge, he pretended not to hear it, but the group of people under him were not low-voiced, all of them looked excited and angry, and felt that all these shames of the gang were caused by Xu Zhi and Hui Feng, and kept suggesting in He Menglong's ear:

"Deputy Gang Leader He, the one surnamed Xu is too hateful, Master Wu Zhiguang said in the ring last time that the point is up to the end, and the innocent will not be harmed, and the one surnamed Xu turned a deaf ear and still killed you, this deep hatred, our Changjiao Gang can't help but report it!"

Although He Menglong felt that he was at a loss, but the pain of losing his eyes could not be forgotten in a lifetime, he was silent for a while, and said angrily: "We can't fail to avenge this deep hatred! You first found out the details of them, and then brought some people and some blades and hidden weapons, and secretly did them." ”

"Then when will we do it?Why don't we go and prepare tonight?", He Menglong's several good players couldn't hold back the resentment in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to get rid of Xu and Hui as soon as possible, so as to save the face lost in the last competition for the Changjiao Gang.

He Menglong covered his swollen right cheek and groaned for a while before he said slowly: "Forget it tonight, I think this matter still needs to be carefully prepared, and there can be no more mistakes." ”

Changjiao helped everyone listen to He Menglong's words, although they felt that they were in their hearts, but when the deputy gang leader sent a message, they had to listen, and they all bowed their heads and snorted.

Since then, Xu, Hui, and Zhou have gone up and down Juxian Tower, often finding that the disciples of the Changjiao Gang will sneakily follow them, monitor their every move, and even make a small stumbling block behind their backs.

Early one morning, Xu Zhi, Huifeng and Zhou Yuanzhi just went downstairs, and saw two disciples of the Changjiao Gang with a basin of water, freshening up by the well, they saw Huifeng coming over, and one disciple deliberately scolded another disciple and said: "You are a defeated general, you just learned a little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, you dare to come out and be embarrassed, it's really embarrassing", after speaking, he aimed at Huifeng who came all the way with his eyes, and pounced on him with a basin of burial water.

Hui Feng hurriedly dodged away, but his clothes were still soaked, and Hui Feng was furious, and was about to step forward to reason with that disciple. Xu Zhi grabbed him tightly behind his back and asked him to be patient for the time being, and Zhou Yuanzhi also comforted: "Master Hui, as the so-called dog looks down on people, what do we have to worry about with a little Luo like him!"

Huifeng listened to Zhou Yuanzhi's words and had no choice but to give up.
