Chapter 44: The Heroes Gather
The tiger tail whip in Fan Long's hand was smart and weird, and he broke Li Hongyu's long sword with one move, and laughed and said: "Don't be lucky, our young master said, as long as you hand over the treasure and secret tips, we promise not to hurt the Li clan people in your village, if not, no one will be left! Patriarch Li, please think twice!"
Li Hongyu was defeated in one move, his face was blue and white for a while, he was frightened and ashamed, and under embarrassment, he stood in place and was speechless.
Li Hongming didn't expect that a Fan Long's martial arts would be so powerful, and then looked at the more unfathomable "Mad Tiger" extravagant Yin and "Divine Knife" An Xiaoliang, there was a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he took a deep breath, stepped forward, pulled Li Hongyu, who was still standing behind, and sighed and said: "I, Li Hongming, swear to the sky here, there is no treasure and secret in the patriarch's mansion, if there is a lie, Li will die today and have no place to be buried!"
The surrounding children of the Li family, seeing that the patriarch was forced to show weakness, were all furious, and they pulled out their weapons one after another, determined to fight to the death.
Seeing that Li Hongming said so decisively, Fan Long didn't seem to be lying, and couldn't help but look back at Hao Yin and An Xiaoliang.
Hao Yin and An Xiaoliang glanced at each other, their eyes flickering, and they were hesitating.
Suddenly, in the periphery of the children of the Li family, a person rose into the air, his body was like a flutter, and he fell into the field silently.
I saw that he was short and thin, about forty years old, with a thin golden mask on his face, and his eyes were shining, and the mask was engraved with a spirit snake, which looked very strange.
After he landed in the middle of the field, he clasped his arms to his chest, squatted shortly, and said sharply: "Patriarch Li, there are indeed no treasures and secrets in your patriarch's mansion, it seems that you have been prepared to hide things in other secrets!"
Li Hongming's anger swelled up, and he shouted: "Who are you, who are you who fabricated empty mouths, speculated in vain, and framed my Li family?!"
The man smiled and said, "I had already turned over your house last night, didn't you still make a move with me?!"
Li Hongming's face turned pale, and he said sarcastically: "It turned out to be you, I thought it was a sneaky masked thief!"
The man was not annoyed, and laughed sharply: "My Uncle Snake is not a heroic figure in the first place, he has always liked to sneak around, Patriarch Li has won the award!
When the people present heard him call himself "Uncle Snake", some of the knowledgeable people were shocked, and their faces were full of jealousy.
Li Hongming was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that even the famous Gold Venerable Uncle Snake would be interested in this baseless rumor!"
Before his words fell, there was a long laugh outside the crowd: "I also came, but not because I was interested, but because someone made a bid, and we were loyal!"
Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that several children of the Li family fell to both sides as if they had been subjected to great force, and the surrounding circle suddenly revealed a gap three people wide, and a round fat man walked in from it.
The fat man also wore the same golden mask as Uncle Snake, with a feather engraved on the mask, and a thin braid on his round bald head, as if there was only one hair growing on his skull.
At this moment, even Hao Yin and An Xiaoliang couldn't help but squint their eyes.
Li Hongji and Li Guo on the periphery asked Gao Jie curiously: "Who are these two masked people?"
Although Gao Jie has some understanding of the big events and big people in the late Ming Dynasty, he has a zero idea of what he has seen and heard of celebrities in the rivers and lakes today, shaking his head, he glanced back, and looked at Li Jina with an inquiring gaze, only to see that the little girl's flower-like face was also at a loss, and Meimu winked at him a few times, indicating that she didn't know either.
Gao Jie turned his head in a daze, but heard Xie Jun's voice on the right behind him: "Killing Wu Wu is the most mysterious killer organization in the rivers and lakes, as long as the customer can afford the price, they will help the customer complete tasks such as assassination, theft, and stealing intelligence." The major forces on the rivers and lakes are unwilling to provoke them easily! The killers in the Killing Without Forgiveness are all equipped with unique skills and mysterious identities, and it is not easy to see silver-faced and copper-faced killers on a regular basis, not to mention that this Uncle Snake and Yimao are among the eight golden-faced Venerables, and their strength is not trivial. ”
When Gao Jie heard this, he turned around and saw Xie Jun and Chen Dake standing behind him with a smile, knowing that they were worried about their safety, so they specially rushed to protect them, and he was moved in his heart, and nodded to them with a smile to show his gratitude.
Seeing that two hard ideas came, An Xiaoliang said loudly: "The two golden-faced Venerables who have killed the two golden-faced venerables have arrived, are they trying to compete with us for the treasure of the Hidden Soldier Cave?"
Uncle Snake sneered and said, "As long as the guests have secrets, we are not interested in treasures!"
An Xiaoliang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good, let's cooperate and take what we need!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another loud voice sounded: "Maybe there is something or not, and the two of you have begun to sit on the ground and share the spoils?
I saw five or six people walking from the right side, walking through the crowd, and walking in directly, and where they passed, they didn't see them moving, and the children of the Li family in that place were forced to both sides by an invisible energy, flashing out a way. When they arrived in the field, they took one side alone, and they were all imposing.
Gao Jie saw that the person who was the leader was about forty years old, dressed in coarse linen clothes, tall and burly, with a weathered face, rough hands and feet, and straw sandals, completely looking like an old peasant, but when he went there, he stopped at Yuezhi, calmly, his eyes were full of light, and his bearing was magnificent, which made people feel like looking up.
Seeing the person coming, all the masters in the field suddenly showed a solemn expression, and even Hao Yin, who had always been arrogant, felt a trace of pressure.
"I didn't expect that even the boss of the "Yi Gang" Wang had arrived, it seems that this treasure of Li Jiqianzhai is really too tempting!" An Xiaoliang saw that he was strong again, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, and said coldly.
Before Gao Jie could reply, he heard Chen Dake say softly behind him: "Wang Jiayin, the leader of the No. 1 "Yi Gang" in the north, the Li family is really going to be in a catastrophe now!"
After Chen Dake finished speaking, Gao Jie heard Li Jina in the left rear breathing rapidly, and knew that this little girl was also starting to worry.
Of course, Gao Jie knew that he was the first person to launch a peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, and that Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang were his subordinates in the future.
Wang Jiayin, a native of Fugu County, Shaanxi Province (now a native of Kuanping Village, Huangfu Township, Fugu County, Shaanxi Province), was a border soldier, and then fled to China, because of his bold and righteous and strong martial arts, he soon gathered many heroes and poor people in the north, and in the past few years, he established the first big gang in the north "Yi Gang", which took over the transportation of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other northern governments, and the loading and unloading of land transportation wharves.
This Wang Jiayin is also a powerful gang leader, but he doesn't like luxury by nature, he dresses up as a farmer all the year round, is righteous and bold, and is quite respected by people in the rivers and lakes. When he was young, he was taught by a different monk and practiced a world-class martial arts.
Wang Jiayin laughed and said: "It is said that there are countless armors hidden in the Tibetan Soldier Cave, and there is a huge amount of money and silver. Originally, we poor people couldn't control the affairs between your Sichuan nobles and the government, but my righteous gang also had tens of thousands of poor gangs, most of whom were unarmed, and they suffered a lot when they encountered bandits. Besides, this treasure is in my Shaanxi, if you take it, I, Wang Jiayin, will not be able to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future!"
When Hao Yin heard this, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "It seems that Boss Wang doesn't give face to my father and Uncle An!"
Wang Jiayin smiled and said: "Everyone takes what they need, and those who can live in it! It depends on one's own ability! Your father is here, and I am the same!"
Extravagant Yin was furious and was about to attack, but was held down by An Xiaoliangsheng. I saw An Xiaoliang say slowly: "This Li family has said that there are no treasure secrets, but we will fight first, and it will make people laugh!"
An Xiaoliang's ingenious words pointed the finger at Li Hongming again, and sure enough, everyone looked coldly at Li Hongming, who was standing in front of the patriarch's mansion.
Li Hongming had a desperate thought in his heart at this time, and he understood that with the small Li family and these powerful people, it was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Regarding the treasure and secret tips, there have been rumors a long time ago, saying that the ancestors of the Li family had left a hidden soldier cave, but hundreds of years have passed, and no one has found it. Now I don't know who has ill intentions, and even spread rumors on the rivers and lakes, blaming the Li family, the people of the rivers and lakes have always preferred to believe in it for the sake of heavy treasures, and they can't believe it, and the major forces are letting go of the fight and never dying. The Li family is justified this time, and it can't be said clearly.
At this time of crisis, Li Hongming was relieved, he smiled miserably, turned back to a middle-aged strong man with an expressionless face and said: "Elder Yao, this matter is already difficult to get right, today my Li family is afraid of a great disaster, you are an elder with a foreign surname, please stay out of the matter, find another place to go!" After speaking, he bowed.
The middle-aged strong man is Wang Chengen's senior brother Yao Shimen, hearing Li Hongming's blunt words, he was still expressionless, clenched his fists and said lightly: "Although Yao is not a hero, he is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, the patriarch should not say more!"
Gao Jie and Chen Dake have seen this Yao Shimen a few times, and they have always felt that this person has a cold temperament, an old-fashioned temper, and a dislike or angry face, not like a person with a temperament, but now listening to his understatement, it shows that this person is a person who values love and righteousness, and is by no means what appears on the surface.
Li Hongming glanced at him deeply, looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay! Brother Yao can be so bold and righteous, who dare to be greedy for life and afraid of death?
The hundreds of disciples of the Li family who had gathered all drew their swords and gathered around Li Hongming, and under the leadership of the elders and leaders, they soon put on a disciplined and methodical formation, shouting out a loud and uniform shout, and the momentum soared.
Li Hongming said loudly to everyone on the field: "It seems that if you are in the next place, you will not believe it, although my Li family is weak, it will not be killed, then fight to the death!"
Li Hongji and Li Guo saw that the children of the family rushed to form a formation to fight against the enemy, and they wanted to join, but they were stopped by Gao Jie and whispered to them: "What are you two making a fuss about, do you know how to form that formation? Wouldn't it add to the chaos if you go? Follow me and act when you see the opportunity!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Li Jina snort behind him, and whispered: "Coward!" As soon as Gao Jie turned around, he saw the little girl standing up and throwing herself into the family camp without hesitation.
Gao Jie smiled bitterly, anxious, he was afraid of seeing this brutal and hateful Li Jina, but he didn't want to see her in danger. Unconsciously, he inexplicably had the position of this unruly girl in his heart.
Suddenly, Uncle Snake screamed and laughed: "Since Patriarch Li would rather die than hand over the treasure secrets, so that the two of us can't make a difference, then Uncle Snake will be offended!"
As soon as the words fell, his half-squatting body rose into the sky, the cold light flickered in mid-air, and a snake-shaped soft sword slashed, unstable, and attacked Li Hongming in the air.
Behind Li Hongming, a blue-faced old man with a white beard snorted coldly: "Let me Li Honglin come to understand the power of killing the unforgivable golden-faced Venerable!" Before he could say anything, he had already rushed out of the formation, a coiling dragon wooden stick stirred the air, and greeted the snake uncle in the air with a fierce wind.
With a muffled sound, the snake-shaped monster sword and the coiling dragon stick were separated, and the snake uncle jumped up again with his strength, the golden mask shone in the autumn sun, and in the strange laughter, the snake-shaped sword conjured up countless silver snake phantoms, and once again covered Li Honglin, the great elder of the Li family.
This Li Honglin is the second master of the family in martial arts after the patriarch Li Hongming, and Uncle Snake fights a move, it seems that there is no difference between victory and defeat, but the masters have all seen that on the coiling dragon stick made of Zhijian Nanmu, although Li Honglin is infused with the deep internal force he has cultivated for decades, under one blow, the surface of the coiling dragon stick is still cut off a two-inch-long piece of wooden bark, which shows that the internal strength of the snake uncle monster is extremely deep, and the strange sword is extremely sharp, and it has already prevailed.
Under the move of the great elder Li Honglin, he suffered a small loss, this coiling dragon stick has been with him for decades, and he has never suffered such damage, and suddenly his heart sank, and he roared, and the coiling dragon stick "raised fire to burn the sky", and once again faced the sword shadow in the sky.
The continuous sound of gold and wood resonance came, the sword sticks intersected in mid-air, and under the impact of the sharp silver snake sword shadow, half of the dragon stick shattered and exploded, exploding into sawdust in the sky, Li Honglin spurted out a mouthful of blood in the sky, his footsteps staggered, and he retreated more than ten steps before he was supported by General Li Hongming.
In two moves, the second master of the Li family was seriously injured and lost!
The more than 100 children of the clan behind the patriarch Li Hongming were terrified, and only then did they truly understand the amazing strength of the most mysterious killer organization in the rivers and lakes.
