Chapter 2, Section 4, Reckless Heroes 205
Reckless heroes
On a slope, I came to a flat land, and I saw the gate of the village in front of me wide open, and two burly men, both forty years old, were greeted by dozens of small village soldiers.
The stammering Tai Sui stepped forward quickly, invited the two big men in the middle, and introduced Ren Tianqi with a smile: "Big brother, second brother, this is the general Ren Ren who dominates the rivers and lakes of Weizhen." He also instructed the two to Ren Tianqi and said: "This bearded one, yes, yes, is the master of my family's big village, known as the black-faced Tai Sui, surnamed He Pengfei; ”
Ren Tianqi hurriedly saw the two villagers, raised his head and looked at each other carefully, and saw He Pengfei, the owner of the big village, with a wide mouth, a nose and big ears, two thick eyebrows, a pair of red phoenix eyes, three black beards, a wide back bear waist, a green coat, a wide belt at the waist, a jade piece hanging between them, clean and neat, a pride, smiling, intimidating; 。
Ren Tianqi hurriedly smiled: "Ren Tianqi, a guest in Xiaguangling, has met the two masters of the village. ”
He Pengfei, the owner of Dazhai, opened his eyes slightly, stroked his beard, looked Ren Tianqi up and down, smiled and stretched out his hand to hug each other, and said: "The general is the overlord of one party, and now in a small place like me, it must be the blessing accumulated by me in my previous life, general, please go inside." ”
Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "Lord Dazhai, please." ”
Hua Ruchun next to him saw that Ren Tianqi was young and thin, and he didn't believe that this was the southern sword in front of him, the king of Xuzhou in the world, and he saw the eldest brother He Pengfei giving a gift, and he just arched his hand; Where in the world are there lame princes and generals with crutches? Isn't this a blatant deception!"
The stammering Tai Sui Yan Xiaosan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Gong Ming next to him saw that Hua Chengchun was so rude, so disrespectful to the master, he was furious, and turned around and shouted: "What are you talking about, who are you laughing at is a kidnapper?"
Hua Ruchun is like his name, his temper is a little bit, as soon as he saw Gong Ming grabbing him, he was short, swept Gong Ming's lower plate with his right leg, and his hands came out, patted Gong Ming's chest, and shouted: "It's not a kidnapper, there is no king law." ”
Gong Ming changed his grasp into a palm, cut down vertically, and the long sword in his left hand rushed out, pointing straight at the flower Ruchun knee pass, and sweeping the upper body of the flower Ruchun with his right foot.
Hua Ruchun hurriedly closed his legs, withdrew his left hand and left Ying, his five fingers were like hooks, and his right hand shook to take Gong Ming's eyes.
Tianbao beside him saw that Gong Ming was attacked, and with a "whoop" voice, he handed the iron rod in his hand forward to stop Hua Ruchun.
Hua Ruchun was furious, put aside the palace inscription, and grabbed the iron rod.
Tianbao is so strong, one horizontal and one flick.
Hua Ruchun didn't wait to wake up, her legs didn't touch the ground, she was already thrown out of the way, fortunately, Hua Ruchun was good, and she flipped and fell to the ground in the air, and she was stunned, this person had a lot of strength.
Hua Ruchun was about to step forward desperately. He Pengfei had already shouted.
He Pengfei was also quite skeptical in his heart about how the general was so young, and he was lame again, and he didn't say anything when he saw Hua Ruchun's question, and he wanted to see it. Seeing Hua Ruchun flying with one move, Ren Tianqi's subordinates' martial arts are still so unfathomable, then the depth of the martial arts of the general Ren in front of him is even more incalculable, I am afraid that Hua Ruchun will suffer, so I hurriedly laughed and said: "The general is angry, my second brother doesn't know how to be polite, and his temper is urgent, but he doesn't have any bad intentions." I wonder who these two generals are?"
Ren Tianqi is a bright and upright person, but he didn't care about Hua Ruchun's disrespect, and said with a smile: "The sword bearer is my personal servant, and the people in the rivers and lakes give him the nickname Nine-Tailed Fox Gongming; ”
He Pengfei arched his hand and said with a smile: "May I ask who is a little Brother Hongwen, the killer monk deer hero?"
Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "My two elder brothers are in military affairs and have never come together. But this is my brother-in-law, known as the second head of the righteous and poisonous Tang Sect. Pointing at Ma Benqing: "This is Brother Ma, who is known as the Flying Bat." Pointing at Tian Muzuo, he said: "This is Tian Muzuo, a disciple of the Three-Eyed Guanyin Ximen Qingyuan." ”
In the past two years, the reputation of Xuzhou soldiers has risen, and the skills of each of their subordinates have long been spread all over the rivers and lakes. He Pengfei has also been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has heard about it, so he no longer doubts it in his heart, and he is more and more respectful to everyone, and he can't stop blaming Hua Ruchun for being reckless, blindly leading the way, and inviting everyone to the hall.
Everyone sat down, and Miyata and the others stood with their hands hanging behind them. Tea was served. He Pengfei stroked his beard, turned his head and stammered Tai Sui Yan Xiaosan, and said: "The fourth brother has to bow to the general, how can the money received from the road receive the general's head, it almost broke the big thing." ”
Stammering Tai Sui Yan Xiaosan got up and smiled when he heard this: "Yes, I, I, a little fool, I should accompany the general, not with me." Just as he was about to step forward to pick up his clothes and give Ren Tianqi a salute, Ren Tianqi got up early to stop him.
He Pengfei said with a smile: "The general is not as knowledgeable as us, fourth brother, don't you return the things to the general?"
The stammering Tai Sui Yan Xiaosan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly woke up, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I should die, how, how, how dare I ask for the general's passing money." I'll come when I go. As he spoke, he resigned from everyone and hurried out of the hall.
Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "I heard that there are four masters in the village, how can there not be one?"
He Pengfei said with a smile: "The general is talking about my third brother, he went out for a walk after dinner, and he can come back before dark." ”
Ren Tianqi nodded and said with a smile: "I will be disturbed in the village when I come, and I hope that the big boss will not dislike it." ”
He Pengfei said with a smile: "The general said that he was joking, such a distinguished guest came to the door, which is a blessing for me to come up and down the village." What others ask for may not be obtained. I don't know if the general is not in Yangzhou, how can he have time to come to this small place, could it be that he has the heart to go north to recover the old land?" He Pengfei pointed to the sky.
Ren Tianqi shook his head and said with a smile: "Definitely." If it is decided today, and the people are looking forward to peace, this incident should not happen. I have something else to do when I go north. ”
He Pengfei said with a smile: "I don't know if the general can tell me a thing or two, my brother can see if he can do his best?"
Ren Tianqi's face flushed and hesitated slightly.
He Pengfei said with a smile: "I'm just straightforward and fast, I don't have anything else to think about, and it's okay if the general doesn't want to say it." ”
Ren Tianqi coughed slightly and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to hide." I just want to go to Songshan Shaolin. ”
He Pengfei was taken aback and said, "The general has a hatred with Shaolin?"
Ren Tianqi shook his head and said with a smile: "Definitely." I am a lay disciple of Shaolin, and I am only here to visit the old people. ”
He Pengfei nodded and said with a smile: "I think it is also true that Shaolin is the first famous and decent family in the rivers and lakes." The general is also benevolent to the world, how can there be a grudge between the two. ”
Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "I heard that the four masters said that there is a cottage here, not far away, can the big boss say a little bit about it?"
He Pengfei nodded and said with a smile: "Even if the general doesn't ask, I also want to say that there are indeed two cottages here." Originally, a few days ago, there was only one waiting for me, and the wife was too peaceful. We are not murderers and arsonists, but we are only struggling to make a living, so we started this business of collecting money from the road. We only ask for money, and we have not done anything other to hurt nature and reason, and we have many relief for the poor, and the name of this place is not too bad. I didn't know that more than a dozen swordsmen came to the two days, but they insisted on robbing my cottage, saying that they asked for cooperation. We and others are not afraid, but they dwell on the other side, and oppose us. ”
Ren Tianqi was taken aback and asked, "Who are they, have you ever found out?"
He Pengfei shook his head, and was about to speak, when he saw a small village running into the hall, kneeling on the ground and shouting: "Back to the big boss, there are two big men on horseback below, dressed gorgeously, refusing to give money, and injuring me and a few other brothers." Seeing that he couldn't resist, the four villagers called the little one back to move the rescuers. ”
Hua Ruchun, who had been silent, jumped so high and scolded: "What is the breaking thing today, why did there be so much trouble." Big brother, I'll take a look. As he spoke, he didn't look back and went down.
Ren Tianqi smiled: "Big boss, do you want to go down and take a look?"
He Pengfei shook his head and said with a smile: "The general drinks tea by himself, this little thing is not enough to worry about." Although my second brother is born with a bad temper, he is a good person, and there should be few people who can be his opponent in the rivers and lakes. ”
Gong Ming snorted.
He Pengfei glanced up at Gong Ming and said with a smile: "Brother Gong doesn't have to be dissatisfied, my second brother is a short kung fu, from Shaolin, and he is the head of the erudite family, but he has his own way, how his skills are, and he will know when he comes back and try it." ”
Ren Tianqi also turned around and glanced at Xiao San.
He Pengfei said with a smile: "Those people come from unknown sources, and they don't interact with the locals, one style of swordsman, one style of foreign accent. After a few days, we have not been able to find out the details of the people who came, and the people who came must have been unkind. I had to be on guard, and I couldn't even sleep at night. No, my third brother went out for this reason. ”
Ren Tianqi nodded and glanced back at Tang Shengzhi.
Tang Shengzhi was also stunned, and said with a smile: "It seems that the gang of people I waited for the mountain also knew? It seems that this gang of people is very suspicious." ”
He Pengfei said with a smile: "What Tang Er's head said is good. Now that all the masters are here, I have a plan, but I don't know what the general and the second head of Tang think?"
Ren Tianqi said: "Although the big boss is going to listen to it, as long as it is harmless to the local people and does not violate the chivalry of the rivers and lakes, if there is any command, we will naturally not hesitate." ”
He Pengfei said with a smile: "The general is really a hero, benevolent and righteous in the world." He was very impressed. He saw the general's skills now, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, this village wants to use the general's prestige to meet those people, ask them about the details, or go or stay, and ask the general to be the master on his behalf. ”
Ren Tianqi shook his hand again and again, and said, "No, no." Besides, if you have been in the army for a long time, you don't know about local affairs, and you are negligent about world affairs, and your mouth is clumsy, so you are afraid of causing trouble, which is counterproductive, so it is better not to go. ”
He Pengfei stood up and arched his hand again and again, and said: "The general must be afraid to cause trouble to the upper body, isn't it? How can he have the courage to dare to offend the general's heavenly might." In my opinion, the general has not yet understood, but please listen to me one by one. If the general sees that my words are unreasonable, he can refuse to laugh at it, He will never dare to have any crooked thoughts, and the whole village will not neglect the general and others, and will still be a guest. ”
Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "You see, Ren is young and unfamiliar with the world, and his mouth is clumsy, but he misunderstood the meaning of the big boss, and he still looks forward to Haihan, the big boss." There is something to say, but please speak. ”
He Pengfei said: "Don't hide it from the general, we are waiting here to fall into the grass, and we are helpless, the brothers in the village are many local poor and poor people, and it is difficult to guarantee food, clothing, housing and transportation; I and a few other leaders have brute force, they will get a few kicks of effort, and they don't know how to buy and sell; I wanted to take everyone to earn fame on an errand and also be able to end up with a wife, but I didn't expect that the imperial court had not recruited soldiers for a long time, and the people were not allowed to marry privately. This place is barren, and the people are not rich, so it can be imagined that there is often a lot of income. When the local people heard that we often said that they often had the action of beating the rich and helping the poor, there were many people who came to the village, and there were as many as 200 people in the village at once, and their livelihood was even more difficult, and they were much worse than before, so they could only maintain a life. Now that this group of masters has come to us, they want to take away the mountain pass of our line, isn't it because they have harmed the surnames of hundreds of people in my village? Although we are said to be outnumbered, we have no certainty of victory, and we are worried that the two families will fight, and the victory or defeat will be small, but we are afraid that we will end up in the wilderness and fall into the land, so we have been hesitating. If the other party really wants to dominate my mountain, the whole village must do their best to get out of breath, and the fish will die and the net will be broken, and the survivors of the village will also hope that the general can enjoy the food; if the person who comes is also a person who is in distress and difficulty, it is good for the two sides to sit on the ground and discuss, and the general will be a witness, so as to seek the future; if the other party is actually a wicked person in the rivers and lakes, and the scum of the martial arts, we should cooperate with the general, and we should work together to exterminate it and eliminate the harm for the people. General, what do you think?"
Ren Tianqi hurriedly got up and saw a salute, and said with a smile: "Since the big boss is so well aware of the righteousness, he should obey orders in the next place, and he misunderstood the big boss when he got down, so he will accompany him." It's just that I'm in a hurry to get on the road and can't afford to delay, so this matter should be done as soon as possible. ”
He Pengfei said: "This is not difficult, the general and others have been able to walk for a day today, they are very tired, first have a good night's rest, and they will go tomorrow morning, and they will finish this matter, and send the general and others out of this rice pavilion." ”
Ren Tianqi nodded yes.
Ren Tianqi was modest and cautious, He Pengfei was outspoken, and everyone talked happily. During the chat, I saw a small minion running into the hall and reported: "Back to the big village master, no, the two men who came below are really skilled, and the second master went down to fight with one of them for a hundred rounds, but he couldn't win, and the four village owners asked the big village master to hurry up and go down." ”
He Pengfei stood up from his chair when he heard "Teng", his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "There is such a capable person in the world, go and get my knife." He Pengfei took off his coat, revealing a white strong coat, and some of his subordinates had already taken a machete with a three-ring thick-backed sheep's head. He Pengfei picked up the knife, turned around and bowed his hand to Ren Tianqi and the others, and said with a smile: "General, the second head of Tang Er, generals, please sit in the hall for a while, wait for me to go down and catch those two birdmen, and then come back to have a drink with everyone." He Pengfei turned around again and ordered his subordinates to take care of everyone, and then hurriedly led people down the mountain.
Gong Ming and the others got up to send them off.
Gong Ming looked back and smiled: "When I saw the farmer who asked for directions, I still sighed in my heart that the people here are outstanding and spiritual, and everyone has seen the world; ”
Ren Tianqi shook his head and smiled silently.
Tang Shengzhi said: "I don't think these mountain kings are too annoying, and they are still kind and have no conscience." Or let's go down and see. ”
Gong Ming looked up at the master, smiled and said nothing.
Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "If you want to go, you can go, see how good everyone is, and how much you have to be prepared." Tianbao and the second brother just stay. ”
Gong Ming and the others were very happy, and they went out with their own family fires, leaving only Tianbao Tian Muzuo Lu Shixing and Tang Erye to accompany them.
