Chapter 39: Escape from Marriage
The fire dragon shrank and faded away. A horse was walking towards the dying dragon with its hooves. Immediately sat a man wearing a demon mask. The firelight made the mask appear indescribably terrifying, and a pair of haggard, old eyes appeared behind the mask. The yellow fire in his eyes slowly disappeared, and the mask became darker and darker. Men and horses disappeared into the night.
Hong Quanchang and the guests returned to the building, and everyone was chattering. Hong Quanchang sat on the high hall with an iron face, and everyone stopped checking hard.
A strong man with thick arms and a shape like a tiger stood up and said, "Old gang leader, this little thief dares to make trouble in your old land. All of us here have seen him, and we will not let him go, and we will do our best to help the thief into the fire pit. "This person is Li Yuanchen, who is nearly eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his strength is very great, some people say that he has the power to turn over the river and the sea, so he got this name.
There was also a thin old black man, with a head of more than five feet, blue and black trousers, silk and black, and white cloth on the cuffs around his wrists. The hands are black, like old pines in the mountains, vigorous and powerful. This person is the shadowless iron palm, Sun Sanfeng.
He got up and took Li Yuanchen's words, and said: "That little thief first provoked the horses to gallop wildly, and then burned the stable, I can't spare him, I will go around chasing him now, I will definitely be able to catch him and interrogate him clearly." And all the people were indignant, and they arose, and said yes.
Hong Quanchang didn't know what to do, and wanted to dissuade everyone, the young son Hong Hanming also understood his father's thoughts, but he was a junior, how could he be like an old-timer to persuade many martial arts seniors?
This is another one that says, "Amitabha." Gang Master Hong, today is the day of great joy for the son, how can he be disturbed by a small thief?" This person is wearing a robe, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly figure, it is the Yuanzhi monk who shovels the crescent moon in the sky.
Hong Quanchang said with a smile: "The master is right, come on, everyone, let's ignore the little thief first, today is an auspicious day for the dog, you should eat and drink, don't let the little thief stir up the interest." ”
Hong Quanchang saw that Sun Sanfeng was still angry, so he said again: "Brother Sun, don't be angry, you little thief, I don't care." Another day, I will arrest him and ask him for his guilt. I'll have to ask my brother to do me a favor. ”
An old man with sword eyebrows and a long beard, who was over fifty years old, pulled Sun Sanfeng's sleeve and said, "Brother Sun, Gang Leader Hong has said so, don't worry." "This person is Lu Sheng, the Shadow Twin Blades.
Sun Sanfeng clenched his fists and said to Hong Quanchang: "Since the helper brother can afford to be a brother, I don't have anything to say." ”
When Hong Quanchang saw that Sun San's anger had subsided, he smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, since the dog has returned, let's let them worship and marry now." ”
There was a shouting and coaxing from the seat, "Go and invite the bride!" This made Hong Hanming embarrassed. Hong Quanchang sent the little maid to invite the bride. The little maid grinned and walked to the second floor, and everyone's eyes followed her into the house, all wanting to see the bride.
Suddenly, I heard the maid screaming in the house, and then turned and shouted downstairs: "New, the bride is gone!"
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar. "Why is the bride gone?"
There were three incidents that night, and Hong Quanchang was so angry that he rushed back with his eyebrows. Hong Hanming jumped up, clicked on the dining table, and jumped to the second floor. When I entered the house, there was no one and the windows were wide open. Hong Hanming walked to the window and looked down, but there were many footprints on the ground.
"I must have escaped through the window. ”
As soon as Hong Hanming turned around, Jiang Chuanhai was standing behind him, but he didn't notice. Jiang Chuanhai said again: "Two people." Who did she run with?"
Hong Hanming was stunned at first, and then said, "How can I know?"
Jiang Chuanhai said again: "You should think about it." ”
Hong Hanming's eyes lit up and said, "Is it him?"
Jiang Chuanhai nodded and said, "Why else would he have come to the Wanjun Gang?"
Hong Hanming sighed and turned to leave. When he walked downstairs, everyone projected pity at him, but Hong Hanming didn't think so, did he need mercy? He didn't need it at all, because he didn't have any feelings for that woman at all.
Hong Hanming walked up to Hong Quanchang and said, "Dad." ”
Hong Quanchang shook his head and said, "That's it, this is something that God and our army can't help." Then he got up again and said to the guests, "Ladies and gentlemen. Thanks to your care, I hope you will forgive me for not going well today. The dog's marriage can't be done, but you can stay in the gang for a while, these three floors are full of rooms, enough for you to rest. If you can't eat wine, let's eat wine!"
Hong Quanchang said with great pride, but everyone in the audience understood that Hong Quanchang had already saved face at this time, and he was old enough to make trouble in front of a heroic man in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that everyone in the rivers and lakes will make fun of him.
The Yuanzhi monk who sat down and put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, Gang Master Hong, it's a pity that the fact that the prince is married, but I'm afraid this is also for a reason." With all due respect, I am afraid that even if this marriage is completed, it may not be a good thing. ”
As soon as the Yuanzhi monk said this, the shadowless iron palm Sun Sanfeng couldn't sit still, rose up, opened his mouth and scolded: "You monk, what kind of bastard are you talking about! How can it be a bad thing for a young man to meet a beautiful woman? You bald donkey, you really can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth." ”
Seeing that Yuan Zhi was about to make trouble on the spot, Hong Quanchang immediately shouted: "Sun Laosan! If you are talking nonsense, I can only ask you to leave the gang!"
Sun Sanfeng saw that Hong Quanchang was really angry, and he didn't say any more, just squinted at the Yuanzhi monk. The situation became more and more rigid, and the whole building became quiet. After a long while, Lu Shengcai said: "Brother Sun, look at it, how good are you scolding Master Yuanzhi like this? Master Yuanzhi also wants to make Gang Master Hong relax, don't you see it?" Sun Sanfeng seemed to be suddenly awakened by Lu Sheng, and hurriedly asked, "Is this really the case?"
Lu Sheng smiled: "Of course it is." ”
Sun Sanfeng was also refreshed, and even apologized to Yuan Zhi, and said: "Yuan Zhi monk, no, Master Yuan Zhi, my Sun Laosan is a rough person, he speaks rudely, and his brain is not very bright, I misunderstood the meaning of the master, and I hope the master will not blame me." If it doesn't work, will my grandson kowtow to you?"
Monk Yuanzhi said: "Amitabha, Sun Daxia is serious. When did the little monk blame you? ”
Sun Sanfeng said: "Oh, the master is really a big measure, what is it called, the master can hold the boat in his belly!"
Everyone laughed, and the original rigid situation gradually dissolved. Lu Sheng gave Sun Sanfeng a look, and Sun Sanfeng turned to Hong Quanchang and said, "Brother Hong, junior brother, I am in a hurry, Brother Hong, you are so aggrieved today, brother, I feel angry for you!"
Hong Quanchang sighed and said, "Brother Sun, I was also anxious just now, so don't take it to heart, brother." ”
Sun Sanfeng said: "Since Brother Hong doesn't blame my brother, I can rest assured." The stalemate suddenly dissolved, and everyone continued to eat and drink, but the conversation was still inseparable from the three events of tonight.
Hong Quanchang called his son Hong Hanming to a study on the second floor. This study is not very large, and there is a desk and a chair, and three or four books are piled up at one end of the table. The four walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings, and it is obviously a small pavilion where Hong Quanchang spends himself alone.
Hong Quanchang sat on the chair, Hong Hanming stood across the table, his expression was indescribably ugly, and he didn't look up at Hong Quanchang. The two didn't speak for a long time, until Hong Quanchang sighed.
Hong Hanming opened his mouth and said, "Dad...... I ......"
Hong Quanchang said: "It's too late to say anything. I'm just asking you what the hell is that woman?"
Hong Hanming said: "Dad, don't be angry first. That woman was a woman I met on the Li family market a few days ago. At that time, she was begging along the street, and I saw that she was born beautifully, and I thought to myself, how could she be so downtrodden that she was not a beautiful lady, and what a famous pearl she was whipped? I went to ask her, and she said that she was the second daughter of a certain wealthy merchant of the Wang family, and that she had a sister who was about to get married. was a worry-free life, but she didn't want her sister to be attacked by a strongman on the day she got married. There were 35 people up and down the house, and the corpses were all over the door, and she said that she had crawled out of the pile of dead people, and she had pulled her life back from the ghost gate. ”
Hong Quanchang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and his eyes were full of pity.
Hong Hanming said again: "Dad, you have compassion when you hear it. At that time, she spoke more miserable than I said. ”
Hong Quanchang said: "Go on." ”
Hong Hanming said: "I see that she is really pitiful, how can I let her continue to wander and beg in this world?" Let the third brother Tie bring her back first, and let her be a ......maid at home."
Before he could finish speaking, Hong Quanchang asked first, "You said you asked Tie Wuming to send her back?"
Hong Hanming said: "It's not false at all, Daddy, you sent me to find the eldest brother, brought the message, and let the second brother Feng and the third brother Tie follow me all the way, there is a response on the way, isn't it?"
Hong Quanchang slapped the table, and the books on the table were scattered on the ground as if they were being blown by a strong wind. Hong Hanming also looked surprised, and said, "Could it be that you haven't seen Third Brother Tie?"
Hong Quanchang shook his head and said, "When I came, there was only that woman. Two days after you went out, she popped up. She was born handsome, white and pure, and it was in the flowering season. I saw that she was very particular about her makeup, so I asked her why, and what she said was similar to what you said. He said that his family had suffered misfortune, and that he was begging on the street, thanks to meeting you. ”
Hong Hanming asked, "But she didn't say that she came with Brother Tie San?"
Hong Quanchang said: "I didn't say it. Then she told me that she was already yours, and that she was married to you. I didn't believe it, but she said it so well that I had to believe it. I have chosen an auspicious day, and I will marry you, so that you can marry that girl in the media, and give that girl a proper name, and tell you to come back quickly. ”
Hong Hanming lowered his head and was silent, and suddenly raised his head again, wanting to open his mouth to speak, but he didn't say it for some reason. Hong Quanchang looked very impatient and said, "If you have anything to say, in front of me, is there anything you can't say?"
Hong Hanming said: "Daddy, don't be angry first, it's just that my son's heart is also full of doubts, and I don't know what the relationship between the two is." ”
Hong Quanchang said: "Say, say it." ”
Hong Hanming said: "Don't hide it from my father, I heard that my father is in a hurry to come back, and I am even more puzzled when I hear that it is to do a happy event for me on the way. The boy was about seven feet tall, but probably less than fifteen years old. ”
Hong Quanchang said: "What is the origin of this young man?"
Hong Hanming said: "My son didn't know, I just thought he was talking very interesting, so I invited him to get on the horse and let him come to my gang to eat some wine and food." ”
Hong Quanchang said: "Do you think he has something to do with this matter?"
Hong Hanming said: "Even after quelling the chaos, he disappeared without a trace." That's why I suspect it, but it's just speculation. ”
Hong Quanchang said: "Before that, he was always by your side?"
Hong Hanming nodded, and Hong Quanchang said again: "Then the messing with the horses and burning the stables are not his doing?"
Hong Hanming said: "It will never be his own doing." ”
Hong Quanchang stood up, looking much stronger than Hong Hanming, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like an old man, he just listened to him: "He didn't do it himself, so you also suspect that he may have a comrade?"
At this time, two people suddenly broke in, one of them was strong and the other was thin, one was older and one was young, and the younger one was Feng Yu. The older person, born with a tiger-eyed leopard face, looks like a fierce god Arhat, has a strong physique, is also a yellow brocade robe, and has two mountain-opening axes pinned to his waist, this person is Feng Yu's eldest brother, known as "Kaiyuan Pangu" - Qin Ping. In the northern Liaobei area, there are three martial arts heroes who are the most famous, one is "Kaiyuan Pangu" Qin Ping, the second is "Stick Sweeping Meteor" Feng Yu, and the third is "Ruthless Phoenix Tail Fan" Tie Wulife.
The rivers and lakes have been rumored about their respective abilities for a long time, and the fame of the three of them is getting bigger and bigger, but one day, these three people will also gather together and compete. Jianghu people say that the three of them fought for two days and two nights, but after the war, the three of them admired each other and married Jinlan. Since then, the three heroes of northern Liaobei have finally twisted into a rope, which has leveled the mountain nest thieves in northern Liaobei, and these three people have made everyone in the green forests of the rivers and lakes frightened. Although these three brothers are half-brothers, they are better than their own brothers, and their feelings are deeper than the sea. Hong Quanchang admired the skills and brotherhood of the three brothers very much, so he invited them to join the gang, and the three of them were also overjoyed, so they agreed.
Now that Tie Wu's whereabouts are unknown, how can he not be in a hurry when he hears that his own brother is gone, and his life and death are uncertain? Qin Ping was angry, and Feng Yu couldn't stop him, so he let him rush in. After coming in, although Qin Ping was anxious, he also knew that he was too reckless, so he said: "Old gang leader, I'm sorry, I heard that the third child was worried about his life, so I couldn't hold back." Just ......"
Hong Quanchang didn't have the slightest intention of blaming, and said: "Brother Qin cares about his brother's safety, how can the old man be blamed?
Qin Ping knew that Hong Quanchang was comforting him, in fact, no matter how high the master of martial arts was, he was afraid of being plotted, poisoned, and charmed, so how could it take effort to kill someone? Qin Ping said in his heart: "Gang Master Hong is kind to himself, how can he be rude to refute him in person?" After easing down a little, Qin Ping said: "The gang leader forgives me for being rude, and please help the gang master quickly find a way to find the third brother, I, Qin, am a beheaded, and I want to repay your boss's kindness." After that, Qin Ping was going to kneel down and kowtow.
Before he could kneel down, Hong Quanchang hurriedly helped him and said with a smile: "Ahem, what does the old man want your head to do?" Brother Qin admires the friendship between his brothers, and the old man must find out the whereabouts of the iron brothers as soon as possible." Otherwise, I will not be the leader of the gang, and the Wanjun Gang will be dispersed!" Qin Ping is a man of temperament, and when he heard Hong Quanchang so solemnly guarantee, he couldn't help but be grateful. Said again and again: "Thank you, Helper!"
Hong Quanchang turned to Hong Hanming and said, "This is something you stirred up, and it's up to you to do it." If you have seven days, I will definitely give you an explanation for your two brothers, Qin and Feng!"
Hong Hanming received the order when he arrived. said: "Give me five days, and I will definitely find the third brother of Tie." ”
Hong Quanchang said: "Okay! I'll give you seven days, and you can find out another thing for me!"
Hong Hanming said: "Take the order!"
Hong Quanchang said: "There is no father and son in the gang! No matter who has a mission, I still won't spare it!"
Hong Hanming said: "Yes!"
Seeing that the gang leader was so strict with his own son, the two brothers Qin and Feng couldn't help but admire each other, and glanced at each other, Qin Ping said: "Old gang leader, my two brothers are willing to visit with the young son! Please agree to the helper, and my brothers are not willing to sit in the gang and wait!"
Hong Quanchang saw that the two of them were so sincere, and remembered the deep friendship between their brothers before, so he agreed.
The next morning, as soon as the white of the fish belly appeared in the sky, the three of them rode out to help. Hong Hanming changed into a white suit again, rode on a galloping white horse, stared into the distance, and said in his heart: "Qi Er!"
