In a private house in Cangzhou, two people are sitting around the stove. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

One of them had a long scar on his face, stretching from his left eye to the right corner of his mouth, and his face was extremely vicious against the firelight.

Needless to say, this person is naturally the elder of the Heavenly King Gang, the "domineering Yama" Wu Renyi. Sitting next to him was Lu Qi, who stole the drug that day and put down Xu Yun and Wu Renyi.

Recently, it has been rumored in the rivers and lakes that Xu Yun is asking around for news of Wan Yingtang. Didn't you tell me that you had already thrown him into a mass grave, how could he still be alive?" Wu Renyi asked Lu Qidao while holding the fire with an iron rod.

Lu Qi said: "Yes, I threw him into a mass grave, but I didn't say that I had killed him." I wanted to kill him, though, but when I raised my knife, I changed my mind again. ”

"Have you changed your mind? Have you forgotten what we're here for?" Wu Renyi stopped his right hand and stared at Lu Qi, as if he was a little annoyed.

"Of course I do. But I don't think it's good for us to kill Xu Yun now. Lu Qi said as he rubbed his hands on his face.

"What do you think? Tell me about it. Wu Renyi's tone seemed to become calm.

Lu Qi said: "What is the situation in Hebei, you have also seen it." The beggar gang is in a miasma, the Hua family is vulnerable, these two are probably not Wan Yingtang's opponents in terms of strength alone, and the other gangs in Hebei are not to mention. If I kill Xu Yun, the most trustworthy helper of the Hua family, at this time, who else in Hebei can stop Gongsun Liangbi? Wan Yingtang has already claimed the hegemony in Bashu, Shaanxi, and Jingchu, and if Hebei is also up to him, then how will our Tianwang Gang gain a firm foothold in Jianghuai in the future? So in the end, I still saved Xu Yun's life. ”

Wu Renyi nodded and said, "Well, yes, you did a good job." Then let's follow the original plan, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that Xu Yun and Wan Yingtang can fight and lose both. Alas, but if this Xu Yun is not removed, I really can't feel at ease. ”

"There's always going to be a chance. Even if we don't trouble him, I think that Qin Zun shouldn't let him go. That Lu Qi suddenly tore off a piece of skin from his face, revealing a handsome face, it turned out that this Lu Qi was actually pretended by Ma Lin.

"How did you pick it up?" Wu Ren Yiqi said.

After Ma Lin wiped the human skin mask with a silk handkerchief, he wrapped it and put it away: "Well, it's too hot, I'm about to sting, and I have to light a stove, it's really unbearable." Besides, there is no need for Lu Qi now, just treat him as dead. As he spoke, he got up and took off his shirt, naked, revealing his white jade skin and delicate tattoos.

Wu Renyi looked at the lifelike horse on Ma Lin's chest, a little dazed, and said for a while: "What about being scared? It's still cold at night, do you understand that this is called inverted spring cold?"

"What's the spring cold, I think you're just old, and your body is not good. Ma Lin brought a basin of hot water, put it in front of Wu Renyi, squatted down and took off his boots: "Come, burn your feet!"

Wu Renyi smiled, stretched out his feet, and was at the mercy of Ma Lin.

"If you have a sore leg, you should find a good man to show you, and maybe it will be cured. Ma Lin rubbed Wu Renyi's feet and said, "You always like to carry it, if I hadn't come to Hebei with you this time, I wouldn't have known that you already had this problem." ”

Wu Renyi said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just because when I was locked up in Rakshasa Mountain, the cold poison entered the bone marrow, and I couldn't die." ”

"Then what should you do in the summer? When it rains and the humidity is heavy, your legs will probably hurt even more, but you can't go around a stove in the summer, right?" Ma Lin said.

"Hehehe, okay, you have a point. Then when we go back to the helm, I'll go to the hospital to see a doctor. For now, bear with me. Wu Renyi touched Ma Lin's head and laughed.

"It's as if that leg is mine, if you are paralyzed in the future, I won't serve you, and I will just throw you to Master. Ma Lin said without raising his head.

Wu Renyi laughed and said, "Hahaha, stinky boy, I've been raising you for so many years! If you don't even serve me anymore, then I can only go to your master!"

Ma Lin smiled, wiped Wu Renyi's feet dry, and said, "I'm afraid that Master, she won't serve you!" After he helped Wu Renyi put on his boots, he went out of the guest room with the footwashing water.

Wu Renyi brought his legs closer to the stove and stared at the fire and laughed. Although Ma Lin is the righteous son of Wang Guanru, the person who really raised Ma Lin was his "domineering Yama" Wu Renyi.

Back then, when the outsider's Yama King picked up Ma Lin, who was still crying in swaddling clothes, he didn't know if he could feed him, and even had the idea of throwing him to death. But after so many years, the baby who only knew how to cry had already become a rising star in the Tianwang Gang, which had to be said to be a miracle for Wu Renyi.

In recent years, Wu Renyi has been trapped in a Rakshasa prison, and the long-term separation has made him think that Ma Lin will be alienated from him, but the truth does not seem to be what he imagined. "I, Wu Renyi, have done all the bad things in my life, and God still favors me so much, so I picked up such a good son for nothing, it seems that I must have done a lot of good deeds in my previous life. Thinking like this, Wu Renyi couldn't help but hum a little song—in the past, he used to hum this song to lull Ma Lin to sleep.

As soon as he heard a sound outside the door, Wu Renyi stopped singing, only to see Ma Lin pushing the door in with a carrier pigeon, and handed a note to Wu Renyi and said, "Uncle Wu, Elder Kong has sent news that in two days, he will arrive in Cangzhou with more than a dozen brothers." ”

Wu Renyi took the note and said, "When will they arrive in Cangzhou in two days? When did they leave Jinling City? Why didn't they inform us in advance?"

Ma Lin sat down helplessly and said, "How do I know this." ”

"By the way, Gongsun Liangbi asked us to meet at Guanhai Tower two days later?" Wu Renyi asked.

"Yes, as far as I know, he seems to have invited Hua Yongfu father and son of the famous Hua family. Ma Lin stroked the carrier pigeon in his arms and said, "I didn't expect that since we rescued Yelu Longqing together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Wan Yingtang and the Hua family have gotten closer and closer." ”

"It can't be said that he is getting closer and closer to the Hua family, it can only be said that Wan Yingtang and Hua Yongfu are getting closer and closer. Don't forget, there is also a Hua Qian outside the famous city, he is the grandson of Hua Baofang, and the serious Hua family. Wu Renyi handed the note back to Ma Lin.

Ma Lin said disdainfully: "That Hua Qian, he can't do any effort, what kind of climate can he become?" I think the next person in the Hua family is going to die. He put down the carrier pigeon, took out the four treasures of the study, and said, "What do you want to say to Elder Kong?"

Wu Renyi rubbed his knees and said, "You ask him to fly the pigeon again and pass the book, tell us which way he is going, and I will personally greet the brothers in two days." ”

"Okay, then you're not going to Guanhai Tower?" asked Ma Lin.

Wu Renyi said nonchalantly: "Well, don't go, this is obviously a Hongmen banquet, we are neither overlords nor Han Gaozu, what is worth going? ”

"Hongmen Banquet, since we are not Han Gaozu, then you mean Hua Yongfu is Han Gaozu?" Ma Lin said as he wrote.

"Han Gaozu has Zhang Liang and Fan Hao by his side, does Hua Yongfu have it? This Hongmen banquet is a dead end. If Hua Yongfu really brought his son to Guanhailou together, then he would be a fool and would not be saved. Wu Renyi sneered.

Ma Lin tied the written note to the pigeon's leg, opened the window and let the pigeon out: "Uncle Wu, I still don't understand, why do you say that this is a Hongmen banquet? Didn't you just say that Gongsun Liangbi and Hua Yongfu have gotten closer and closer, and he has no reason to kill Hua Yongfu!"

"If you were asked to pick an opponent between Hua Yongfu and Hua Qian, who would you choose?" Wu Renyi turned sideways slightly and asked Ma Lindao.

"Then Hua Qian must be chosen, Hua Yongfu has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, it must be very difficult to deal with. Ma Lin replied without thinking.

"That's it, Gongsun Liangbi thinks the same. Wu Renyi said, "If Hua Qian is slaughtered first, then the head of the Hua family must be his third master, Hua Yongfu, do you think this is good for Wan Yingtang to rule Hebei? Therefore, Hua Yongfu must be killed first, leaving a Hua Qian who has almost no experience in the rivers and lakes to manage the Hua family, so that it will be easier in the future." ”

Ma Lin suddenly realized: "I see." Although it is said that 'the cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys cook, the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden', but that Gongsun Liangbi is too confident, and he wants to get rid of Hua Yongfu so early. Does he think that he can settle Hebei by himself?"

Wu Renyi half-squinted his left eye and said: "How do you know who the 'lackey Lianggong' is? Maybe in Hua Yongfu's heart, he still regards Wan Yingtang as his own pawn to dominate Hebei? How do you think Hua Yongwei died? Hehehe." ”

"Could it be that Hua Yongfu is also involved?" Ma Lin said in surprise.

Wu Renyi nodded: "Well, according to my guess, this Wan Yingtang should be with Hua Yongfu." Otherwise, Hua Yongwei died, why didn't he Hua Yongfu move at all? But this Hua Yongfu didn't even do superficial articles, which really surprised me, and it didn't seem to be a ruthless character. That Gongsun Liangbi dared to put down this Hongmen banquet, I am afraid that it was because he took Hua Yongfu and couldn't see it. ”

Ma Lin said: "Then what should we do, do you want to wake up Hua Yongfu and let him be careful?"

Wu Renyi said: "No, it's not appropriate to tear your face with Wan Yingtang now." However, we can secretly release the word that the people of Wanyingtang will appear in Guanhailou in two days. If Xu Yun can learn the news, let him rush over and stir up the situation. Alas, the so-called 'life and death have fate, wealth is in the sky.' "Everything depends on Hua Yongfu's personal creation, what else can we help, do we want to pretend to be Uncle Xiang?"

Ma Lin said jokingly: "I'm afraid that we are not playing Uncle Xiang, but another Han Gaozu who does not have Fan Hao Zhang Liang." ”

Wu Renyi was silent when he heard this, and after a little contemplation, he got up and tore open a package and took out a knife from inside. The head of the knife is carved with an eerie ghost head, and the body of the knife also has a fiery pattern generated during smelting, and it is an extraordinary thing to see at a glance.

When Ma Lin saw Wu Renyi take out the knife, he exclaimed, "You even brought it." ”

Wu Renyi nodded and said, "Well, this ghost head knife is an heirloom of the Ma family, I originally thought that I would give it to you when you are twenty years old." But I thought about it, it doesn't seem like a big deal to give it to you earlier, you can take it!" Then he threw the knife at Ma Lin.

Ma Lin took the ghost head knife, and was quite happy in his heart: "Why did you suddenly remember to give me the knife?"

"That Wan Yingtang acted ruthlessly, who knows what Gongsun Liangbi will do, this time Guanhailou and his party are still a little dangerous. This treasure knife is as sharp as clay, and you have to defend yourself in case things change. Wu Renyi said.

Ma Lin picked up the ghost head knife in his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, since this trip is dangerous, why do you still let me go alone, why don't you go to Guanhai Tower with me to meet Wanying Hall?"

Wu Renyi shook his head and said, "No." I think your stepfather is right, you are not too young, I can't still treat you as a child. This meeting of the sea view building, let you go alone first. After I meet Brother Kong, no matter what happens, I will rush to the Guanhai Tower to meet you. Until then, it's up to you to improvise. However, if Gongsun Liangbi just wants to get rid of Hua Yongfu and his son, you must not act rashly. ”

Ma Lin fiddled with the ghost head knife in his hand and said, "Cheng, I know, don't worry." With that, he wanted to pick up his knife and walk out of the house.

"It's so late, where are you going?" Wu Renyi asked.

"Go out and find a shop that hasn't closed, make a scabbard for this knife, and let some wind go out by the way, so that Xu Yun can rush to Guanhailou to stir up the situation. Ma Lin said without looking back.
