The Dongying people of Laizhou are all gathered in the south of the city, and the messy sheds built haphazardly are their accommodation. The locals call this place Dongying Weizi, those people have no business, often steal some money and property in this vicinity, because there is no life, the government will turn a blind eye, but the local people dare not come here.

Zhong Xian was very efficient, and the next day, he brought more than a dozen of his men to Dongying Weizi and set up signboards to recruit sailors and escorts on board. A certain amount of money per month. The men who were proficient in the Dongying language beat the gong and shouted back and forth in the fence in the Dongying language.

After a while, the Dongying people almost rushed out of the nest, crowded under the signboard to sign and draw and join the sea shipping company. The sewage in this Dongying Waizi is cross-flowing and stinking. Mosquitoes chase people everywhere like hornets, and who wants to stay here, and when they hear that someone is soliciting manpower, they don't even know where to go?

There are nearly 100 women among these Dongying people, these women originally followed their fathers, brothers and husbands across the sea to Datang, and now some people's fathers, brothers and husbands have died, and some people have lost their relatives, so these people are lonely, begging and living in Dongying Waizi every day, this Zhong Xian couldn't bear to see his miserable situation, so he simply took them all with him, and it was good to be able to help wash clothes and cook when he arrived on Cuizhu Island.

Zhong Xian was afraid that they would bring lice and fleas on the boat, so he ordered them to bathe in the pond and change into new clothes they had bought from the clothing booth before they could get on the boat. It only took two days to make this Dongying enclosure empty, and Shatonghai dispatched more than a dozen large ships to transport these Dongying people to Cuizhu Island.

The subordinates pointed to the tattered clothes that the Dongying people had just taken off, and asked, "Mr. Zhong, what should I do with these dirty things?" Zhong Xian saw that the piles of clothes were all covered with fleas, and a pungent smell came to his face, so he hurriedly took a few steps back and covered his nose and said: "Do you need to ask? Burn, burn, burn!" Commanding his subordinates to throw their clothes into the shanty, and set fire to the empty and tattered shantytown.

After two days of turbulence, the sea ship came to Cuizhu Island, where there was a warehouse where the ship company hoarded goods on weekdays, but now Zhong Xian ordered people to clean it in advance and use it as a temporary housing. Some people brought knives, axes, saws, and other things and sent them down, and ordered these people to go up the mountain to cut down trees and giant bamboos to build houses.

When these Dongying people were scattered in Dongying Waizi, there were dozens of gangsters who relied on the strong and entangled gang, and they were rampant and domineering in Dongying Waizi every day, and now they still have bad habits on Cuizhu Island, and they don't do any work every day to grab food and drink, Sha Tonghai is not a good man and a woman, and immediately ordered these people to be buried alive in public after hearing the report, and the rest of the Dongying people are grateful for the grace of life; the other is afraid of his means, so they have a life to do everything, there are indeed skilled craftsmen in this gang, and they will build a magnificent barracks on Cuizhu Island in less than half a month。

Just when these people were building a martial arts training camp on Cuizhu Island, Zhong Xian was doing another thing - setting up a ring.

The establishment of the ring this time is naturally under the banner of recruiting a ship escort warrior. It was agreed that those who could win three games in a row were hired as martial artists, and one hundred taels of silver were given a year; those who could win all the games were hired as martial arts commanders, and three hundred taels of silver were awarded annually, and Liu Wenhua, the assassin of the assassin, was specially invited to watch the battle.

In the first few days, all the people who came on the stage were local people with broken skins, what kind of skills could these people have except for their big shoulders and round waists? It was nothing more than for the hundred taels of silver, and Zhong Xian didn't care, let them brag about it on the stage. This is called throwing bricks to attract jade, they are just bricks, and sooner or later they will lead the real jade out.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to brag about it, and the masters who rushed from various states and counties arrived one after another, and those broken-skinned idlers were easily beaten to the point that their mouths were crooked, and they rolled out of the ring, and they were limped and shouted by their dog friends and fox friends, which made people laugh in vain.

On this day, Ma Beibei and Huang Shan came to Laizhou, and when they stayed in the inn, they saw a group of men dressed in rivers and lakes at the table next to them eating, and the two ignored them, went straight to the corner table, and called Xiao Er to order a few dishes. Some of the men in the group looked back at them, saw that they were carrying swords, and sneered: "Hmph, there are still people who are not afraid of death who dare to come to the martial arts competition!" Ma Beifang looked at them coldly and did not answer, the man shouted: "What do you see, boy! Uncle, please have a drink!"

Ma Beifang waved his left arm, and the sleeves of his robe rolled up and took the wine jar with him, and the wine jar drew an arc and threw it back at the man. The man stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and was just about to throw it back, when the wine jar suddenly exploded, and the wine splashed all over his face, but it was just now when Ma Beifang rolled up the wine jar and secretly mixed the yuan gong in the wine, the wine shook slightly, and the mixed yuan gong burst out immediately.

The gang of people were furious and drew their swords and shouted: "Lao Tzu is from the Taizhou Iron Sword Gate, Your Excellency will report your name!"

Huang Shan sneered: "Okay, don't change your name, don't change your surname! We are Ma Beibei and Huang Shan of the Tianshan faction!"

The anger of the gang was short, and someone forcibly said: "You don't want to pull up the tiger skin to make a big banner, do you say that the Tianshan faction is the Tianshan faction? What is the evidence?"

Ma Beifang got up without speaking, and his figure flashed past everyone like a ghost, and then Shi Shiran sat at the table, and everyone in the Iron Sword Gate scolded angrily: "You bird man, ......" Before the words fell, Huang Shan screamed, covered his face with his hands and turned his head, his face flushed. Everyone felt cool at this time, and when they looked down, they saw that their belts had been pinched off in an instant, and their pants had slipped down their ankles, and they couldn't help but be shocked and afraid.

The person at the head also has some knowledge, although he doesn't know whether the martial arts are from the Tianshan faction, but this kung fu is indeed exquisite. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. At that moment, he put away his blade and put on his pants, arched his hand and said: "This young man, below is He Jiahui of the Iron Sword Gate, just now he had eyes under and didn't know Mount Tai, and he was offended, and he wanted to commit a few crimes." ”

Ma Beifang didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he also stood up and said: "It's easy to say, the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, it's inevitable that friends in the rivers and lakes will meet and learn a few tricks, and I hope these friends won't be surprised." Huang Shan smiled and said, "What did this Brother He just say about the martial arts competition?" He Jiahui said strangely: "Aren't you here to fight......?" It's all wrong!"

Ma Beifang called Xiao Er and said, "Send a few more plates of meat and vegetables, plus a few jars of good wine, I want to have a good drink with these friends." He Jiahui hurriedly said: "Xiao Er, the wine account is ours!"

Ma Beibei said: "How can this be done? We originally wanted to invite you to dinner, wouldn't it be ...... in this way." He Jiahui smiled: "I compare the age."

The two idiots are a few years old, they are arrogant, they call themselves brothers, this Laizhou and Taizhou are not far away, Brother Ma and this Huang Xiaomei came from the Tianshan Mountains, since the old brother did a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, the two of them should not shirk!"

After three rounds of drinking, Huang Shan asked about the fight again, He Jiahui said: "You just arrived in Laizhou and don't know, recently the local rich man Satonghai has invested heavily in recruiting escort boat warriors, attracting heroes from nearby states and counties to fight and apply, my brother is not talented, I have won three games in a row in the past few days and has been hired as an ordinary martial artist, but my brother I am still unwilling, I have to go to the competition tomorrow, and I have to get a martial artist to lead it." These fellow disciples are cheering for my brother, but it just so happens that you two are here. He grinned awkwardly.

Huang Shan smiled: "Brother He, can we also fight?"

He Jiahui said: "Why can't you? As long as you want to be a martial artist, you can get it at your fingertips, and it is very easy to be a martial artist leader." ”

Huang Shan turned his face to Ma Beibei and said, "Brother North, why don't we go and see the excitement." ”

Ma Beifang thought to himself that there were many masters from all walks of life in this ring, and it must be mixed, in case someone from the Vientiane Divine Palace happened to come to fight, he just caught him and forced him to ask. Say yes now. Huang Shan likes to be lively by nature, and dances happily.

He Jiahui secretly complained that he was afraid that if they had an itchy hand tomorrow and would also compete on stage, the position of his martial arts commander would definitely not be kept, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only drink a lot to cover up the lost look on his face.

Ma Beifang had a rough personality and didn't see that He Jiahui was unhappy, but Huang Shan was as careful as a hair, and said with a smile at the moment: "Brother He, don't worry, we just go to see if there are any acquaintances, and we won't go on stage to compete, and besides, we just pass by here occasionally, and we don't live here permanently, what is the use of the name of the ship escort martial artist?" He Jiahui relieved his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, Ma Beibei and Huang Shan had breakfast, and asked where the ring was, this Laizhou City is not big, and after walking a few streets, I saw colorful flags waving in the distance, and people were boiling.

Under the ring, there are crowds of people, there are ordinary people who stop to watch the excitement, there are also people who come to compete in the rivers and lakes, and the vendors selling all kinds of food are like carp across the river, squeezing around in the crowd to sell goods.

Girls have always liked to eat snacks, where has Huang Shan seen so many delicious snacks in the Tianshan Mountains, as long as he saw what he liked, he paid for it and stuffed it into Ma Beibei's arms, and after a while, Ma Beifang couldn't hold it, so he had to buy a wicker basket from the vendor, and followed Huang Shan with the snacks with the basket.

The two men in the ring were having a good time, and after the two sides exchanged fists, one of the men was exhausted and was picked up by the other party and fell to the ground, got up and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your mercy." "These two people's martial arts are very low, and in the end, there is no discipline at all, and it is completely a random fist of the market characters, but it is far more exciting than the master match, Huang Shan is elated, and he is dancing and shouting while chewing snacks.

The winner had already won three games in a row, and he already had the qualification of a martial artist but did not retreat, but went to the viewing platform to receive the sign of the leader of the competing martial artist and returned to the ring, shouting: "I Xu Da has won three games, who else is willing to compete with me." ”

As soon as the words fell, a sturdy and sturdy man jumped into the ring and shouted: "Lianzhou Xiong Baili come to try your skills!" Without even saying hello, he stepped forward and punched Xu Da in the chest, Xu Da dodged, and smashed his left arm into the man's shoulder, Huang Shan chewed the snack while shouting vaguely: "Oh, it's wrong! This surnamed Xu is also reckless, just now he should have hooked the man's ankle with his foot, and then gently pushed the man and fell, why is it so troublesome?"

That Xiong Baili grabbed his elbow, twisted it back and twisted it with a grappling technique to twist Xu Da, Xu Da was in pain, and was pressed down in the ring, he also said happily immediately: "This big brother let go, I admit defeat!"

Xiong Baili nodded, let go of his elbow, Xu Dagang stood up and wanted to explain a few words of the scene, Xiong Baili suddenly raised his leg and lifted him off the ring, Xu Da was defenseless, was thrown to the sky, fortunately, the bottom of the ring was covered with sacks full of hay, but it did not hurt the muscles and bones, this time everyone was in an uproar, it is common to win or lose in martial arts, but it is a public anger to kick down the ring when the other party admits defeat.

For a while, the sound of angry scolding and shouting rang out, and Xiong Baili sneered: "What's the use of arguing below? If you have the ability to come on stage to compete, if I lose, you can also kick me out of the ring! If you don't have the ability, don't shout indiscriminately." ”
