Chapter 10: The Chivalrous Warrior 2
Liu Mazi scolded Wang Yi, spitting stars flying all over the sky, splashing Wang Yi's face with saliva. However, Wang Yi did not hide, nor did he wipe it, and let Liu Mazi speak ill of him.
"You saved my life, so no matter how much you scold me, I have nothing to say. But can you hear me out first?"
Wang Yi patted Liu Mazi on the shoulder and said. Unexpectedly, Wang Yi's few words made the excited Liu Mazi quiet down for a moment. It turned out that it was not a hand that was slapped on Liu Mazi's shoulder, but a knife. Although Wang Yi slapped it with the back of a knife and did not hurt Liu Mazi in the slightest, the knife was cold and murderous, which couldn't help but make Liu Mazi frightened.
Liu Mazi glanced at the knife in Wang Wang's hand, calmed down, and said indifferently.
"Are you really going to kill me?"
Wang Yi looked at Liu Mazi firmly and said.
"If necessary!"
"What good will it do you to kill a beggar?"
"For only the dead will not tell their secrets. ”
"It turned out that you wanted to kill people and kill people! But what kind of secret do you have to kill me to reassure you?"
"Everything about me. ”
Wang Yi said calmly. However, Liu Mazi knew that Wang Yi's indifferent attitude was the most frightening. This calmness is mixed with a murderous aura, and he may kill himself at any time.
However, Liu Mazi's self-esteem did not allow him to put down the shelf and beg for mercy. He continued.
"What secrets can I know about you? Know that you are the Wang Yi of Ge Xundian? Know that your enemy is Chen Jiazhuang? Know that you are not self-sufficient and want to be the enemy of Green Forest Road? Know that the person you want to rely on is actually the notorious Three Ghosts of the Evil Mountain? What secrets are you afraid that I will reveal to you. ”
The three ghosts of the evil mountain mentioned by Liu Mazi are the three brothers of Sun Fuzi. After listening to Liu Mazi's words, the people in the rivers and lakes called the grandson of the ghost male Sun Yishan, and slowly walked to Wang Yi's side, and said: "It is worthy of being the chief helmsman of the Shandong branch of the beggar gang, and he is very well-informed." The three of my brothers have long been incognito and retired to the rivers and lakes, but unexpectedly, you still found out their identities. ”
Master Sun seemed indifferent, but his words were full of murder.
At this time, the second of the three ghosts in the evil mountain, Ding Laoer, who is called a ghost slave by the people of the rivers and lakes, added.
"You know so much, it seems that it is necessary to shut you up. ”
As soon as the words fell, Little Brother Hu Lian took out the sharp knife used in the kitchen to remove meat from his sleeve and walked over slowly. Needless to say, this is the famous ghost slaughter Hu Lian Sangang.
Hu Lian's half-squinted eyes revealed a murderous aura. According to legend, the three ghosts of the evil mountain fought against the famous Feipeng Gang on the rivers and lakes. In this battle, the butcher knife in the hand of the little brother Hu Lian in front of him was stained with the blood of countless people, and he never did it for a moment. In terms of martial arts, the three ghosts of the evil mountain can only be regarded as second-rate, but in terms of the number of killings, they are unbeatable. The predecessor of the three ghosts of the evil mountain was the Seven Friends of Jiangbei, and they were originally gangsters in the rivers and lakes. Until one day, one of the Seven Friends of Jiangbei had a conflict with the famous Jianghu Feipeng Gang in the Sichuan underworld, and unfortunately died in the process of fighting. The remaining six people did everything to avenge him, and became the notorious six ghosts of the evil mountain on the rivers and lakes. It took them three months to kill the leader of the Jianghu Feipeng Gang. The Jianghu Feipeng Gang lost its leader, and the dragons were leaderless, and they soon fell apart. Of course, the six ghosts of the evil mountain also paid a terrible price for this, and only the three of them survived to the end.
In fact, the three ghosts of the evil mountain are not first-class masters. The reason why they can be remembered by the world is because of their character that the grace of a drop of water will be repaid, and the revenge of the eyes will be avenged. To put it nicely, they are hot-blooded men full of chivalry, and to put it mildly, they are just evil ghosts who will never stop until they reach their goal.
Liu Mazi closed his eyes and quietly waited for death to come. He is not afraid of death, but he is by no means a person who wags his tail and begs for mercy in order to survive.
At this time, Wang Yi stopped Hu Lian's younger brother.
"Please leave him at my disposal. ”
Hearing this, Liu Mazi couldn't help but widen his eyes and said indignantly.
"You stinky boy, you ......!"
Liu Mazi just wanted to scold, but he was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he couldn't speak. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lian's little brother's knife stabbing at him, and he was about to stab himself in the neck, but fortunately, Wang Yi made a timely move and grabbed Hu Lian's wrist to save his life.
Wang Yi said.
"As you know, our enemies are almost invincible. If we can act stealthily and launch a surprise attack, we will have a good chance of winning. But if anyone leaks our plans to the enemy, we will surely die. That's why we're tying you up. ”
Liu Mazi thought about it, looked at Wang Yi, and said.
"Did you intend to kill me in the first place? From the moment I saved you, you used the gem to lure me into doing things for you. Now, I'm useless, you plan to kill me and kill me, right?
"I don't deny that I thought so. Therefore, no matter how much you scold me, I have nothing to say. However, no matter what kind of infamy I will bear in the future, and what price I will have to pay for it, revenge is imperative. Now, I'll give you two options. As long as you promise me to keep your mouth shut, I will spare your life. If not, then don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
"Hahaha!"
Liu Mazi looked up to the sky and laughed, hateful.
"Hahaha, since I saw you for the first time, you gave me two choices, but I didn't expect that now it's time for me to choose, it's really unpredictable! At that time, I chose to kill you or not, and now, feng shui takes turns, and my life is in the hands of your kid. I ask you, will you let me go as long as I promise you to keep my mouth shut?
"You won't. ”
"Why do you think I can't? I'm a beggar, not a chivalrous man of his word!"
Although Liu Mazi was angry, he couldn't bear the curiosity in his heart and couldn't help asking.
Wang Yi put the knife away. In his opinion, Liu Mazi has promised to keep it a secret.
"I don't know if you're going to do what you say, but you're not stupid enough to kill yourself for my sake. And ......!"
He pointed to Simon Jing, who was sitting by the fire, and said.
"If it is known that he is also involved, it will not only be me who suffers!"
The more Liu Mazi thought about it, the more angry he became, and his face was hideous. At first, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Wang Yi's move, if it wasn't for the Green Forest Road, maybe he would be the first to stand up and help Wang Yi.
But now, he can't do that. Once Liu Mazi intervenes in this matter, Lvlindao will definitely point the finger at the beggars, and the war between the north and the south will be imminent, and it will be inevitable. Although Ximen Jing has nothing to do with this matter, he himself must not do anything unfavorable to the beggars.
"Okay, I promise you. ”
Although Liu Mazi disliked what Wang Yi did, he had to choose to compromise. The most important thing at the moment is to cut off the connection between Ximen Jing and the beggar gang. It seems that Ximen Jing is determined to break away from the beggar gang. Once this matter reaches the ears of the beggars, the beggars will tell the world about it to show their anger and contempt for him. In order to avoid the conflict between the beggars and the Green Forest Road, the only way to do this is to sacrifice Ximenjing's reputation.
Liu Mazi thought about it, and suddenly felt that his thoughts were very despicable, so he couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly.
"Okay, I promise you. You can let me go now, right?"
Wang Yi untied Liu Mazi. When the matter was over, everyone sat around the campfire and had dinner. The poison used by Ximen Jing is just a sweat medicine, besides, Liu Mazi has taken the antidote, and it will not be a big problem, but it will take a while to fully recover. Even if he fully recovered, he couldn't afford to leave in the middle of the night. But Liu Mazi couldn't wait to leave immediately. The six people sat by the campfire, silent, and the scene was very awkward for a while.
Liu Mazi couldn't bear it anymore, and took the lead in speaking.
"Now that I've promised to keep it a secret, you don't have to worry about me, just say whatever you want. ”
Wang Yi shook his head.
"Although I believe in the helmsman as a human being, the less you know about our business, the better. ”
Liu Mazi laughed.
"That being the case, I can't stay here for long, so I'll take the first step. But ......!"
He glanced at Ximen Jing, hesitated, and said.
"Elder Simon, I have something to ask for. I hope you can agree to me about this matter based on our love for many years. ”
Ximen Jing nodded.
"Just ask. I am ashamed of you in today's affairs, and I will do my best to help you in your affairs. ”
"Hmm...... That ......!"
Liu Mazi listened to Ximen Jing's words, but he was still very hesitant, and after a long time, he mustered up the courage and said.
"I have nothing to say if you want to help him, but I still hope that you do not come forward in person, otherwise it will bring disaster to the beggars. ”
"What are you talking about? If you want to help, you have to help thoroughly, how can you not show up?"
Ding Lao Er interrupted Liu Mazi's words and said. Ximen Jing looked embarrassed and said.
"Although I would like to promise you too...... But...... It's about my apprentice, I'm afraid I'll ......!"
"You misunderstood me. I'm not asking you to help, I just want you to act in secrecy and not reveal your identity. ”
He looked back at Wang Yi and said.
"Although I can't stand you, I have no choice but to do so. ”
Liu Mazi briefly explained the reason. As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, but for the sake of the beggars, Liu Mazi had to tell the truth.
After Liu Mazi finished speaking, the six people present fell into silence again, each thinking about something. Only Ximen Jing, looking at Liu Mazi for a while, and Wang Yi for a while, observing their faces.
Liu Mazi scolded secretly.
"This old immortal, if you accept an apprentice, you will be as precious as an old man. It's not easy to have an apprentice, just pick one up on the street!
At this time, Wang Yi spoke.
"As I said, what I need is poison. When it comes to revenge, the master doesn't need to come forward, just secretly teach me how to use poison. ”
Liu Mazi said in surprise.
"What ......?"
"I haven't read anything, so I don't know what chivalry is. However, I will never implicate innocent people for my own private affairs. So master, you can agree to Lord Liu's request, and my king will never complain. ”
Ximen Jing nodded.
Liu Mazi looked happy, stood up, and said.
"That being the case, I can go with peace of mind. ”
Liu Mazi nodded at Ximen Jing, turned his head and wanted to thank Wang, but suddenly stopped and said lightly.
"Good luck then. ”
Wang Yi had no intention of keeping Liu Mazi, he stood up, took out something from his arms, handed it to Liu Mazi, and said.
"Lord Liu Helm is determined to leave, and I won't stay. However, with a little heart, I hope that Lord Liu Helm will accept it. ”
The amber gemstone in Wang Yi's hand is an opal.
"Didn't we say yes before?"
Liu Mazi grinned and smiled disdainfully.
"I am grateful for the grace of saving my life, how dare I take your money? You better put it away, I, an old beggar, am accustomed to a life of hunger and a full meal, and do not need so much money. ”
Although Liu Mazi was sarcastic, his eyes softened a lot when he looked at Wang Yi. He patted Wang Yi on the shoulder, turned to leave, and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
After Liu Mazi left, Wang Yi looked at his departing figure blankly, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses. During this period, Hu Lian's younger brother got up and wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Sun Fuzi. Ding Lao Er also wanted to say something, but he swallowed back the words under the signal of Master Sun's eyes. After a while, Wang Yi sat down again, and Master Sun said slowly.
"'I'd rather let the world bear the world than let the world bear me', have you ever heard of this saying?"
Wang nodded. Sun Fuzi continued.
"Walking the rivers and lakes, the most terrible thing is not the master, but the informant. ”
Wang Yi asked.
"You think I shouldn't have let him go?"
Master Sun shook his head.
"It's something you should do, but it's never a good thing. Let the tiger return to the mountain, after all, there will be endless troubles. ”
Ding Lao Er couldn't help but interject and said.
"If you let him go, there are two possible outcomes. First, he told Tianfuzhai and asked them to prepare to deal with us in advance. Second, in order to avoid the conflict with the Green Forest Road, the beggars sent people to kill us to prevent future troubles. Either way, it's not something we can afford. ”
Wang Yi was silent for a while and said.
"But he's already promised me!"
"Keeping promises is not an easy task. After all, killing us is the best way to avoid harming the beggars. ”
Wang nodded.
"I also think it's not a good thing to let him go. ”
Sun Fuzi continued.
"Although it has been some time since he left, the effect of the medicine has not yet faded, and with the light skills of the third child, it is not difficult to catch up with him. ”
"But ......!"
Wang Yi clasped his hands into fists, apologized for interrupting Master Sun's words, and then said.
"I know everything, but I have to. Revenge is important, but I can't take revenge and kill my benefactor for the sake of revenge. If so, what difference am I from the enemy who kills my whole house?"
Ximen Jing nodded. Ding Lao Er and Sun Fuzi glanced at each other and said.
"As the saying goes, no poison is not a husband, and those who become big things are not informal. At this point, you know the danger but still return to the mountain, and in the end we will suffer, but we will suffer. Ding Lao Er glanced at Hu Lian's junior brother, and Hu Lian's junior brother immediately understood what he meant, and got up to prepare for the pursuit. Wang Yi hurriedly stopped Hu Lian's little brother and said to Master Sun.
"I am a coward, not a husband, I can't be informal, and I don't want to kill Engong in order to prevent future troubles, but I won't give up revenge because of this, and I hope the master can understand. ”
Master Sun looked at Wang Yi expressionlessly. Ding Lao Er also looked embarrassed and couldn't speak. Ximen Jing bowed and stood up. The situation in front of him was obviously something he did not expect. At this time, Hu Lian's little brother spoke.
"I'm a coward too. ”
Ding Lao Er frowned and said in surprise.
"What did you say?"
Little Brother Hu Lian continued.
"I am also a coward who will revenge the revenge of the eyes and repay the kindness of a drop of water. Therefore, I can understand Wang Yi's feelings. ”
Brother Hu Lian's words were obviously said to Ding Laoer.
"Hahahaha!"
Listening to Hu Lian's words, Master Sun couldn't help laughing.
He pointed to the campfire in front of him and said slowly.
"Sit down, Elder Simon, too, and have a drink and listen to me. ”
"Listening to the words of Brother Wang and the third brother reminded me of one thing. Sima Qian Youyun, a ranger, his words must be believed, his deeds must be fruitful, he has promised to be sincere, he does not love his body, and he has survived and died. This is also the life motto I believed in when I first entered the world. However, this is easier said than done. But there was one thing, and I did. No matter what I want to do, I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. As long as I don't want to do it, coercion and temptation don't want to force me to comply. Maybe that's why I'm notorious......" he chuckled and continued.
"However, in this life, I have a clear conscience. Perhaps, I'm a coward too. ”
Ding Lao Er and Hu Lian's younger brother glanced at each other, and also laughed, agreeing with Sun Fuzi's words. Sun Fuzi patted his knee and said to Wang Yi, "Let's start talking about business now." If you want me to come here, you must have a plan in mind. ”
Wang nodded.
"This is just my initial idea, it is not perfect, and I hope that the master will correct it. ”
He told the story of his recent investigation and the plan in his mind. The others sat and listened quietly, nodding their heads in agreement.
Ding Lao Er said.
"If you want to win more with less, that's the only way to go. However, no matter how perfect the plan is, it is not enough to keep up with the changes, and we should also assess the situation and adapt to the situation. ”
Sun Fuzi added.
"I think it's a brilliant plan. When it comes to strategy, you have to rely on the second child, and this point is left to him. Tell me, what else do you need to prepare?"
Wang Yi looked at Ximen Jing and said.
"What is needed most at the moment is poison. ”
Ximen Jing fell into deep thought and said slowly.
"Although I have poison, the poison you need is what I don't have. Even if you start refining now, you still lack some materials...... And it needs to be used with a dark weapon...... Alright!"
Ximen Jing blinked and said to Wang Yi.
"Go to Sichuan!"
