Chapter 59: The Beggar Gang Seeks Revenge
Bai Sheng walked farther and farther with some doubts and puzzles, and finally couldn't hear the talk of Wanyan's family behind him anymore, thus confirming that Wanyan Zongwang did not mean to hurt him, so he relaxed his tense mood a little and ran with his feet.
Running all the way, no longer encountered any obstacles, when passing through the north gate of the county, it was found that the normal traffic had resumed here, there were pedestrians in twos and threes, and the yang decay that had been guarded in the city gate hole in the middle of the night had disappeared.
When he returned to the inn and saw Guo Sheng, he learned that before dawn, Xiao Feng and his three masters and servants had already checked out and left, Bai Sheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought, this Xiao Feng was even more mysterious in his mind, and it seemed that there was already a strong hostility between each other. Bai Sheng felt that the person who pretended to be him to kill someone must be Xiao Feng, not someone else.
Why on earth did he pretend to be me to kill someone? Bai Sheng couldn't figure this out even if he wanted to break his head, but he knew very well that this incident would bring him evil consequences, and in addition to incurring the revenge of all forces, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to hide his martial arts. For a character who can shoot twenty-three good players in a row, who believes that he can't do martial arts?
After all, there is only one Wanyan Zongwang in this world who can judge the truth from the details, but what about others? Who would believe that he Bai Sheng was wronged?
Bai Sheng was a little remorseful for going out to fish in troubled waters in the middle of the night, and he made a fuss when he didn't eat mutton, which is a portrayal of his action this time. He realized that he had to leave this place of right and wrong now, lest trouble come to him.
made a decision, Bai Sheng immediately greeted the original team, checked out and left. He thought that as long as he arrived in Bianliang City and sent Li Qingzhao home, he would no longer have to worry so much. Even if there is anyone in the capital who is troublesome to him, he can temporarily give up the plan to learn red boxing, escape to a remote place incognito, and practice the exercises and boxing paths he has mastered for a few years.
The first thing he did after setting off was to ask Li Qingzhao's opinion and ask Li Qingzhao to take care of Yan Poxi and Pan Jinlian on his behalf, and Li Qingzhao readily agreed, which was not a difficult thing for her. She was just surprised by Bai Sheng's arrangement, because she felt that Bai Sheng seemed to have plans to leave away, but since Bai Sheng didn't say it explicitly, she didn't ask much, after all, Bai Sheng's request was something that would only happen after he arrived in the capital, and he didn't show that he wanted to leave everyone immediately.
It is already very close from Weixian to Bianliang, and it is a straight road that leads to the north and south. Some businessmen who travel between the two places all year round say that the total distance of this road is no more than 300 miles. Bai Sheng estimated that according to the foot strength of Guo Sheng's brothers, he could walk at least twenty miles in an hour, so together with the time spent eating and resting on the road, it would only take two days and one night at most to reach Bianliang.
Due to the existence of the crisis, this time he did not plan to stop at the inn and lodge on the way, and tried to reach the capital in one go.
It's just that the changes in the world are always not subject to human will, and although Bai Sheng has avoided it as soon as possible, he still can't avoid the trouble he imagined. The carriage and horses had only traveled for less than half a day before they encountered the first wave of catastrophe, and there were thirty or forty ragged and sack-carrying Hanako, holding bamboo sticks in the middle of the road.
Beggars!
Bai Sheng's first reaction was this community organization, which is known as the largest gang in the world. Although he had also seen a few people named Huazi participate in the action of leaving the city in the middle of the night in Weixian County, first, he had no time to observe carefully, and second, those few called flowers were more obscene, so he did not connect those beggars with the famous beggar gang at that time.
But when he saw the current formation of beggars, he thought with his toes and knew that it was the beggar gang disciples who stood in the way. What's more, at this moment, all the beggars are throwing the bamboo sticks in their hands to the ground, singing the tune of "Lotus Falling" in their mouths, which is quite prestigious.
Guo Sheng, who was riding a horse to open the way in front of the carriage and horse, was very surprised when he saw this, and looked back at Bai Sheng and said, "Brother, do you know why the people in the beggar gang intercepted us?"
Because he was guarding in front of Li Qingzhao's room during the night of his stay in Wei County, he was completely ignorant of the series of changes that had occurred inside and outside the city, and Bai Sheng did not explain the situation to him after he returned, so he was puzzled by the beggar gang's blocking behavior. He walks the rivers and lakes all the year round, of course, he knows the general situation and ordinary behavior of the beggar gang, so it is very strange that the beggar gang is not a gang that cuts the path and robs!
Bai Sheng shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and said in his heart that there was no need to ask, there must be people from the beggar gang among the twenty-three people killed by Xiao Feng, but I don't know how many died, and whether the status was high or low.
However, he did not answer Guo Sheng. First, he thinks that the situation in front of him can't help but explain it in detail, and second, even if he explains what happened last night, no one will believe it, not even Guo Sheng.
"Someone come and stop!" a middle-aged beggar with unkempt hair, tatters and several sacks tied to his back stopped drinking, "Where is the thief Bai Sheng?
In a sense, the middle-aged beggar's abstinence from drinking is equivalent to replacing Bai Sheng's explanation. When he shouted out in his voice, Bai Sheng's carriage and horse happened to stop in front of the array of beggars, as if they had been stopped by the beggars. In fact, even if he didn't shout like this, the team of chariots and horses would not be able to move forward, unless the beggar array was dispersed.
Seeing this, Bai Sheng stepped over the horse's neck with his right leg and prepared to dismount. I thought that I didn't need to hide my martial arts anymore, I had to fight this level, and if I couldn't beat others, I had to let Guo Sheng escort Li Qingzhao to finish the final journey, and I could only flee for my life immediately.
Just when he was about to get down, he saw Guo Sheng take off the iron moon halberd from the victory hook next to the saddle, press the horse's head with one hand, and a tiger jump jumped down from the front of the horse's head. After landing on the ground, a cloud of dust flew up, and the iron halberd pointed at the beggar's face, "When did your beggar gang become a road bandit bully?
Guo Sheng was furious. He originally wanted to negotiate with the beggar gang according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, ask the other party to find out the reason for the blockade and then seek reconciliation, but this beggar is so vicious, and he speaks ill of it, this is still a fart to reconcile? If he wants to be polite in this case, not to mention anything else, he Guo Sheng has no face to see people in his life.
So he didn't wait for the beggar to say anything, and the splitting hand was a halberd that swept the beggar's waist and abdomen, and shouted: "Eat my halberd first!"
A halberd swept over, and the beggar did not panic, and the bamboo stick in his hand was returned one after another, only to hear a ping-pong sound, and in a blink of an eye, the two had already passed several moves.
Here Bai Sheng watched the battle intently, but he was not in a hurry to dismount. Since Guo Sheng volunteered, if he called him back immediately, it would only lose morale in vain, and there would be no benefit, and this trouble would not be solved because of this.
Maybe it was because the beggar gang's hatred for Bai Sheng was too deep, or because the beggar scolded people too badly, in short, the battle between the fields was fierce as soon as it came up. Both sides are extremely ruthless, and there is absolutely no mercy. In just a few moments, Guo Sheng had already continuously performed seven halberd moves, which were seven attack methods: sweeping, splitting, slashing, hanging, squeezing, picking, and locking.
These halberd methods seem to be extremely simple, but when combined they are quite profound, they are used by Guo Shengxing, and the beggar immediately fell into passivity and shouted: "Good halberd method!"
The bamboo stick was locked in the crescent moon of the iron halberd by Guo Sheng's lock word, and the two sides formed a stalemate, of course, the two were not willing to let go, they both wanted to withdraw their weapons and attack again, and at the same time shouted, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", mixed with the loud cheers of the two, the bamboo stick has been broken from the middle.
The beggar jumped out of the circle, took a complete bamboo stick from a disciple behind him, and sneered: "It's a pity that Your Excellency is so martial arts that you are willing to be an accomplice of the dog thief!
Guo Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to ask what was going on, but he was immediately angered by the beggar's last sentence, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense, strode forward, picked up the iron halberd, and then the two fought together again...... Interestingly, this one was no different from the previous one, or after the seven styles, it was suspended due to the beggar's bamboo stick breaking.
Bai Sheng watched the battle from the rear, and when he saw Guo Sheng easily succeeding twice in a row, he breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he thought, "I don't need to make a move this time." ”
This was the first time he had seen Guo Sheng use the halberd method. Guo Sheng used this halberd when he was fighting with the tiger before, but he was fighting with Ximenqing at that time, so he didn't see it. As for the other fights, Guo Sheng used punches and feet, giving him the feeling that Guo Sheng's fists and feet were mediocre and did not show the style of "Sai Rengui".
He knew that Guo Sheng's halberd method was not the martial arts of the Qingcheng faction of the master's sect, but a family heirloom stunt. Previously, when Guo Sheng talked about martial arts with him, he once said that this set of halberd methods was created by Guo Ziyi, the ancestor of the Guo family. This halberd method back and forth is these seven tricks, which are extremely practical for charging into battle or fighting alone.
The advantage of this halberd method is that when fighting with people, if the enemy avoids the first six forms, the weapon will inevitably be locked when it reaches the seventh style. If the enemy wants to avoid being locked on the seventh type, then he will inevitably not be able to avoid the first six types, and the possibility of casualties is greater.
However, there is also an extremely obvious limitation in this road halberd method, that is, when locking the opponent's weapon, if the quality of the opponent's weapon is better than one's own, or the opponent's internal strength is higher than one's own, then the weapon will become oneself if it is broken or seized.
It is precisely because of this restriction that this set of halberd methods exists that he did not open his mouth to ask Guo Sheng for advice, and he also has a hypothesis, that is, if the enemy uses a soft weapon, how do you lock it? Of course, he did not raise this issue with Guo Sheng, because if you put it forward, you will be suspected of picking on other people's ancestral skills, you don't want to learn, but also pick on other people's faults, this kind of behavior is very annoying, he never does this kind of thing.
Looking at the situation in the field, Bai Sheng smiled and thought, "Well, if you continue to fight like this, this group of beggars will definitely lose." This beggar, who lost two games, should be the head of this gang called Hanako. The leaders are defeated, what are you going to fight? Well, I'm not going to remind you of the group fight. ”
He guessed correctly, at this moment, the beggar who had already shown a discouraged look had hesitated, as if he didn't know whether to change another bamboo stick to fight the third game.
But then Bai Sheng's smile froze on his face, replaced by a deep melancholy. Because after watching two battles, he had counted the number of sacks behind the beggar leader, and there were only seven sacks!
What does the Seven Sacks mean? It means that this beggar head is only one of the seven sacks of disciples in the beggar gang! It also means that even if this wave of beggars is repelled now, then when the next wave of beggars comes, it will definitely not be the Seven Bags of disciples who will take the lead.
Is it very fortunate that Guo Sheng was able to defeat the Seven Bags of Disciples? Of course not! Because there are still eight bags of disciples and nine bags of elders in the beggar gang, and there are even more powerful gang leaders than the Nine Bags of Elders! How can this be broken?
