Chapter 46: On the Eve of the Decisive Battle
The early morning air is cool and humid.
Xiong Yu opened his eyes as soon as it was light, to be precise, he had been keeping his eyes open all night, he was waiting.
Waiting for the first rays of dawn to shine through the window, he was waiting for the end of a story about the hatred of Xiaoyaozi, and everything would come to a perfect end today.
What about Xiaoyaozi?
Xiaoyaozi was already sitting by the window early, looking at the slowly brightening sky, he clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly, he knew that every second that time passed, he was close to revenge.
A fire ignited in Xiaoyaozi's heart, he hadn't felt it in a long time, and it made him feel younger and his fingers stronger.
Xiaocui has already gone to prepare, now she is the signboard of the drunken Red Mansion, she doesn't know Xiong Yu, she has never seen Xiong Yu, from today on, she has to go back to her original self, all the beauty about her has dissipated, she has slowly learned to compromise.
The bustard is wearing bright clothes, and today she will take the best girls to Li County's birthday banquet, which is a kind of pride in itself, and she can take the girls there to prove her status, she is the most powerful person who trains girls here.
The bustard's capital is the girls under her hands, and as long as these girls are in one day, she will always be the most worthy of the men in the city.
Early on, officials from the government came to pick them up, or more precisely, to check on them, Li County's birthday banquet did not allow a little mistake, and everyone who entered the hall had to go through strict inspection.
There is no problem with the girls, they have all seen it, and the pickers of the girls are no problem, but there are two more suspicious people.
It is of course normal for two people who love prostitution and drink but do not carry money to be left behind to work as coolies to pay off their debts.
So these two people are also normal, Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi naturally mixed in the team of porters.
Today, the city is almost like the New Year, and every household has hung up red lanterns that can only be hung during the New Year.
Li County Ling is really a good official, there are so many people who support him, otherwise how could the residents here do this.
If you see someone who doesn't hang a lantern and you will be beaten up, then you will also consciously hang the lantern.
In this city, Li County's order is the sky, and the person who can cover the sky with one hand.
If you pull out a random person and ask him what he thinks of Li Xianling, he will definitely make an exaggerated expression and tell you: "Li Xianling is a good official who loves the people like a son, a Qing official, I have never seen a person like him who loves the people like a son." ”
Why do people praise Li Xianling's character?
It's very simple, the method is the above, if you don't say that, you will be beaten, Li County Ling will come to check in disguise from time to time, if someone says the wrong thing, then what awaits you is only a big slap.
Are there any people who are hard-boned, have a sense of justice, and do not bow to Li Xianling, that is, they do not give in?
Yes, there must be, and there are several.
They lie quietly on the back hill now, and there will be no such people after that.
Li Xianling is the biggest here, if you want to live well, you have to go to him, don't do things that Li Xianling doesn't like, if there are people who don't have long eyes to challenge, the people on the back mountain are their end.
Someone would do why, why Li County Ling Keyi is so arrogant.
There is no why, and a lot of things have no why.
But there is one point, Li Xianling's kung fu must not be weak, Li Xianling also has a good brain, and people who only rely on force to solve problems are only suitable to be subordinates.
Li Xianling sat comfortably in his wide, warm antelope leather chair now.
He was drinking tea and humming a little tune, looking at the group of people who were busy working below.
He is satisfied, he loves to see everyone bending over for him and working for him, which proves that he is a successful person.
If he didn't succeed, how could so many people work hard for him.
Li Ji's temples are a little gray, although he is nearly fifty years old, but he can't see the figure fat due to old age at all, he still looks very energetic and capable.
This is due to the fact that he has never let go of martial arts for decades, and he has to get up early every day to practice, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn.
He knew that if he wanted to enjoy it, he had to have a life, so he kept it.
It's not difficult, but it's hard to really do it, and Li Ji did it, so he's still alive now.
The stage has been erected, and according to the city's saying, for a big birthday, you must sing on the stage for three consecutive days.
Singing during the day and watching the girls dance at night is something that only Li Ji can think of.
Li Ji had an old butler, and the old butler looked to be eighty years old.
But Li Ji values him more than anyone, because although this old man is old, his heart is not confused at all.
When he shouldn't be confused, the old butler is smarter than anyone else, but when he should be confused, the old butler is like a dementia and doesn't care about anything.
If you have such a person as your butler, you must be very relieved.
Now the old butler was beside Li Ji and whispered a few words to Li Ji gently.
Li Ji's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he said, "You go and arrange it." ”
The old butler smiled and walked down tremblingly.
The room in the backyard has long been cleaned up, and the old butler has now brought the bustard and his party here.
The old butler smiled and said, "The girls will rest here first, and in the evening it is time for you to behave, and the silver for good performance is indispensable for you." ”
The girls all entered the house smiling.
The old housekeeper said to the old bustard again: "Hua Gu has worked hard, but I still have to bother Hua Gu to work hard, so the master invites you to come over." ”
Hua Gu smiled at the old housekeeper and said, "It's a shame that you are an old man, if you are thirty years younger, I will definitely introduce you to a good girl." ”
The old housekeeper smiled and said, "If I were thirty years younger, I would definitely go to visit Hua Gu, who doesn't know that the good girls within this radius of a hundred miles are here Hua Gu." ”
The old housekeeper brought Hua Gu to Li Ji and then returned here, looked at the group of porters sitting in the corner and rested, and said, "You are also tired, I will send someone to bring you some tea to quench your thirst later." ”
The porters thanked the old butler.
The old housekeeper's eyes swept over, and suddenly stopped at Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi.
The old housekeeper walked up to Xiong Yu with a cigarette and said, "You are not a porter. ”
Xiong Yu looked up at the old butler in shock.
The old housekeeper took a step to the left and looked at Xiaoyaozi and said, "You are not a porter either." ”
Xiaoyaozi's eyes flashed, and he quietly put his hand behind his back, if there was any change in this old man, he would immediately take action.
Xiong Yu smiled: "Why does the old man say that the two of us are not porters. ”
The old butler also laughed: "Because I can see that a porter will never be like you, and my eyes rarely look at the wrong person." ”
Xiong Yu said calmly: "The two of us are indeed not porters. ”
The old butler said, "Then why are you in the team of porters?" ”
Xiong Yu smiled bitterly and said, "If you owe someone money, you won't refuse whatever he asks you to do." ”
The old butler's eyes widened, "Whose money do you owe?"
Xiong Yu said loudly: "Hua Gu's." ”
The old butler asked, "How much do you owe?"
Xiong Yu said: "Eighty taels." ”
The old housekeeper smiled: "Good boy, you dare to eat white food here at Hua Gu." ”
Xiong Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said: "A person who has no money and wants to enjoy it can only do this. ”
The old housekeeper stared at Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi, and suddenly said, "Let's go." ”
Xiong Yu was shocked from time to time, but he said with a puzzled expression on his face: "Why did the old man say that?"
The old butler said: "Because I am ready to repay the silver for you, and now you don't owe Hua Gu a tael of silver, you can go, I said this clearly enough." ”
Xiong Yu secretly glanced at Xiaoyaozi and said, "Clear enough." ”
The old housekeeper made a gesture of please, and Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi slowly got up and were about to leave.
At the same time, the two of them drew a short knife from their cuffs in an instant.
Suddenly, there was a cry in the distance, and the two of them instantly put away the short knife.
The cry was made by Hua Gu, and the shouting was: "Don't go." ”
Hua Gu hurriedly ran over to Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi and said, "Okay, you two eat and drink for nothing and don't pay the bill, now let you do coolies to pay off the bills, you still want to run." ”
Without waiting for Xiong Yu to speak, the old housekeeper said first: "How much they owe, I'll pay it back for them, let them go." ”
Hua Gu crossed her waist and said: "If you want to be beautiful, it is impossible to take advantage of my Hua Gu, who doesn't know my Hua Gu's methods, no one has dared to eat and drink in vain in me for many years, do you want to pay back the silver for two men who eat and drink for nothing and are shameless." ”
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment and said, "Then since Hua Gu is unwilling, let them stay and do coolies, then I will go to Zhang Luo for other things first." ”
After speaking, the old housekeeper patted Xiong Yu on the shoulder and said, "Young man, it seems that I can't help you anymore, so you can ask for more blessings." ”
The old butler trembled and walked away.
Hua Gu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi and said, "What do you see, why don't you go and pick up the makeup things in the girls' rooms." ”
Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi nodded yes, and immediately went to move the boxes.
The midday sun was still so poisonous, but it was no longer as hot as summer, and the sky was sparsely covered with a few remnant clouds.
The old butler looked at the sky and said, "It seems that there is rain tonight." ”
Li Ji was lying comfortably on the chair, but suddenly opened his eyes and said, "What a rain." ”
The old butler smiled and said, "No matter how heavy the rain is, it can't stop your birthday." ”
Li Ji smiled and said, "I believe it." ”
Tonight is a special day, a day of hatred and bloodshed, and if you can't let your blood stain the earth, then sprinkle my blood all over the world.
