Chapter 1, Section 3, Lai'an Storm 010
Outside the hotel is a spacious open area, the hotel is built on the river, and a street crosses the door. Through the bright moonlight and the tall red lantern in front of the inn, it can be seen that two groups of people have gathered in front of the store.
There were more than 20 people in the west and only seven or eight people in the east, and both sides had drawn their swords and spears in their hands, looking at each other angrily, and with great emotion, they were playing with each other with the guys in their hands, leading their necks to quarrel, and there was a tendency to ignite at the touch of a button. It turned out to be a rush of people on the road.
There were one or two black-scarve-clad people in the crowd on both sides, holding their swords and staring at each other coldly, motionless, very vigilant, presumably some celebrities with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes or masters invited by all parties, who wanted to hurt people but it was inconvenient to show their true colors so as not to leave endless disasters. A little red nose snorted, quite despised these people who stole chickens and dogs, and left these people behind, looking for the woman in green, and where could she be seen. A little red looked around, but I couldn't find the figure of the woman in green, and my heart was empty. A little red was about to get up and look around, but the black and white eagles stopped one by one. A little red shook her head.
Around the two groups of people, many onlookers gathered one after another, and the disciples of the beggar gang and the person at the front table were also there.
At this moment, I found that the person at the front table was a man in his thirties, with a square face and a wide mouth, thick eyebrows and a lion nose, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a purple brocade robe, and a gold and jade belt inlaid at the waist, mighty and domineering.
After a little red looked around, he looked at the black and white eagles, and both of them squeezed forward, standing behind the beggar disciple and the man at the front table.
I saw a person coming out of the crowd in the east, tall and sturdy, in his early forties, with black and red skin, a face full of wind and frost, dressed in blue clothes, with copper nails and black belts around his waist, holding a machete, waving his hand to retreat from the crowd, and pointing at the other party angrily in front of his chest, and said: "Okay, okay, everyone hold off and don't get bored." Brothers, everyone knows that today is the last day agreed between the two parties, if you have something to say, please spread it out and tell it clearly, if you can't talk about it, it's not too late to do it. ”
There was chaos in the crowd in the west, and someone shouted: "Still talking about a fart, what are you waiting for, talking about knives and guns, go up and do them, and talk nonsense with them." ”
Seeing a few big men rushing out from the west, they rushed over with knives and guns.
I saw the machete in the east swing in front of him, and with a "swish", a white light, as fast as lightning, frightened the people in the west and shrunk back.
The man with the knife in the east sneered, crossed his knife on his chest, and said loudly: "Ma Biao, Ma is in charge, you come out, in front of the brothers on both sides, in front of the fathers and brothers in Lai'an, you have to make your words clear today." ”
A short and thin man jumped out of the crowd in the west, fifty outwards, very energetic, a pair of copper bell-like eyes cold and cold, holding a long copper cigarette stick, even a few puffs, spewing out smoke rings, smoke rings swaying, spreading in the cold air, disappearing in the cold air in an instant. The man touched the short stubble on his mouth, and said with a wicked smile: "Wang Gui, what are you doing? Don't think that if you invite one or two helpers, you will be very angry." I have always dared to be the master of daring, who on the rivers and lakes does not know the second master of the long pole. I ask you, what good words are there in the present day, it is a matter of course to be near the water for fishing, to rely on the mountains to be reefs, and to trade near the road. We people from Sizhou, relying on the mountains and the water on our own territory, what's the matter, why should we be controlled by foreign monks such as you?"
The people on the west echoed in unison.
The man named Wang Gui in the east smiled and said, "Ma Biao, don't be too proud." Everyone has an appointment in advance, the north of the Huai River is mainly based on you, and we are supplemented, and the money obtained is also shared, and we have not said that we will not be able to intervene in the Huai River. Furthermore, don't think that you are now a lot of people, and you are fearless at your own doorstep, don't forget that our foreign monks have been famous in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, not to be frightened, not to walk the rivers and lakes with a large number of people, but to rely on the word righteousness. If we can let you live, we can also not let you live!"
When Ma Biao heard this, his face turned the color of pig liver, and he raised his head with a piercing smile, and said: "Boss Wang, I think that we have known each other for many years, and you as the elder brother want to threaten us by saying this? Just because of these people around you, you want to occupy the territory of Wusi Prefecture, and you want to kill us all? ”
Wang Gui smiled and said slowly: "Brother Ma, brother doesn't mean that. I was just ordered to bring the words to me, just to see that on the ten-year friendship between the two of us, I would like to advise the elder brother to rein in the precipice, and still act according to the old rules, that is, to serve me as the master, live and die together, and we are still a family; besides, there is a good deal in front of you and me, not in vain, but we must work together to make it; if the elder brother does not listen to my advice, he has to fight in front of the fathers and elders in Sizhou, and the elder brother is also in his body, and he can't help himself, but he is afraid that he will ...... today." Wang Gui left half of his words unspoken, and the meaning was very clear, that is, the two sides had a vicious fight.
Wang Gui took a few steps, saw that there was a bluestone bench with a tied horse on the street, went forward, and cut down with a knife with one hand according to the stone.
A little red and startled, a good move of the Kunlun faction's "tricks." ”
Wang Gui turned around and came back, holding a big knife and looking at Ma Biao and the others were silent.
It can be seen that Wang Gui still has good intentions in his heart, and he doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, and wants to persuade Ma Biao and his party to turn swords and guns into harmony. A little red doesn't understand what the good deal is in his mouth, but he understands that this ** is coming to his own gang.
Ma Biao was stunned, although he had known Wang Gui for many years and knew a lot, he thought that he had figured out Wang Gui's skills, it was just speculation and association, and he had never really seen a real battle with a knife and a gun;
I saw the man at the front table set aside everyone and jumped up, jumped between Wang Gui and Ma Biao, clasped his fists in salute, and said with a smile: "Heroes, heroes, if you have something to say, something to discuss, what is the big thing that can make the two old friends fight each other? Why do you want to do such a thing that makes relatives hurt outsiders and outsiders take advantage of the opportunity to gain power? What's the use of keeping him!"
The man said, nodded his feet and got up and landed in front of the bluestone, flew his feet, kicked one by one, kicked the two bluestones out of the zhangyu, and fell into the river in front of him.
A little red and black and white double eagle was surprised, the grinding plate of the big bluestone is still buried in the soil, the legs are shaken without a ** hundred catties of divine power, that is not to shake this stone, not to mention that the meat leg is not steel, with the leg to the stone, this person has his own hard skills such as iron cloth shirt on his legs; Wang Gui broke the stone with a single knife is already a divine power knife fast, this big man is like a god light and elegant, like kicking two pieces of wood, but the internal strength of the legs is much higher than Wang Gui, and the big brother Lu Qian, the virtuous brother Ren Tianqi is on a par with the momentum, is a rare good hand on the rivers and lakes. The three of them couldn't help but look at this person a few more times, and secretly applauded in their hearts.
Wang Gui, Ma Biao and others were all shocked, and they didn't know who the identity was.
Ma Biao turned the copper rod in his hand, shook his hand horizontally, jumped a step back, and asked sharply: "Who are you, are you an enemy or a friend, why do you want to come here to stir up the situation?" Several masked people on both sides also took half a step back, staring coldly at the uninvited guest in front of them.
The big man laughed, hugged his fists and said: "The person in Lin'an, surnamed Cao Mingyingting, is a trader, because he will not enter the stream with a few kicks, and he will be nicknamed Nine-headed Eagle." is not friend or foe, but I see that the two are friends and old friends, and they want to draw swords and guns to fight each other, and they feel that it is not worth it, so they come forward to persuade each other, and there is no malice in the next. ”
Wang Gui hugged his fists and returned the salute, and said coldly: "Cao Yingying didn't know the grievances between our brothers, so he insisted on reconciled, his courage is commendable, and he thanked him; Now that the world is not ancient, why should you bother to discuss right and wrong? However, Brother Cao just said that some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, but he didn't understand, so he asked Brother Cao to give him advice and talk about it clearly. ”
Although Wang Gui said that his words were polite, his tone was very strong, and he had a tendency to not sell the account, not to forgive, and to entangle.
A little red frowned.
Ma Biao nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but turn his head and look around, very afraid, and took a step back.
Cao Yingting smiled faintly and said, "Yes, the two heroes of King Ma, you are Han people and Han people?"
Wang Gui said proudly: "Of course. ”
Cao Yingting said: "Okay, then what is the territory of Sizhou now?"
Wang Gui said angrily: "Who doesn't know, who doesn't know, now the little emperor surnamed Lin'an Zhao is incompetent, and Sizhou has long been owned by the Jurchen Wanyan clan." ”
Cao Yingting nodded and said with a smile: "Admittedly." Can the financier have a ban on private martial arts?"
Wang Gui was stunned for a moment, unconsciously clenched the machete in his hand, glanced at Cao Yingting a few more times, didn't understand, and snorted: "Yes, what should we do? Could it be that we are still afraid of it, the Zhao family court is incompetent and cowardly, and it may not be as timid and afraid of things as the Han people in the world." Besides, no matter how big the emperor is, he can only control half the day! Who are you?"
When Cao Yingting heard this, he shook his head, turned around a few times in front of the two, turned around and said with a smile: "Listening to Wang Yingying's words, he is a person from the Jiangzhou area of Yangzhou, and the gold lord has nothing to do with you; Isn't this what the golden people dream of? You don't see that the official mission is very tightly investigated, and you think that the official mission is not far away at this moment, and once the fight starts, won't the government arrest you properly?"
Wang Gui was stunned and dumbfounded.
Ma Biao nodded yes again and again, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he hurriedly reached out to wipe it, and he was secretly glad that Fang Cai had not made a reckless move, and then looked back at the masked person beside him. The second masked man had slipped away and disappeared without a trace, and he was so angry that he scolded in his heart.
But seeing that a masked man beside Wang Gui stepped forward slowly with a sword, skimmed over Cao Yingting, came to Ma Biao, and said coldly: "Ma Biao, you can't come to An Xiaoxiao, how bold and dare to rebel! How can you not think of the old mother at home, the wife and a pair of children, and the little sister who has never married a boudoir? With a few people like you, not the opponent of the master, not that I don't want to kill you, but the heavens have a good heart, and the master also knows that you are not so unbearable because you are encouraged, so I will spare your life for the time being, so as to see the aftermath. Don't have any more dissent in the future, or you will die without a place to be buried. Widen your dog's eyes and see clearly. ”
The man's words did not fall, he nodded his feet forward, took the long pole in Ma Biao's hand with his left hand, threw it with his hand, and his feet rose like a ghost, and his left hand drew his sword, and he turned his wrist into a sword flower, and slammed it a few times, and put the sword into the sheath. The man turned around in the air, reached out with his left hand, and hit it with his backhand.
Ma Biao's feet "poof" a few sounds, and I saw that the long pole in Ma Biao's hand had been chopped into small pieces and beaten into the soil to form a plum blossom pattern.
The masked man flipped back in the air, turned around and landed firmly in front of Ma Biao, facing Ma Biao face to face, his eyes full of death and disdain.
Everything was done in the blink of an eye.
Cao Yingting applauded.
Ma Biao was so frightened that his soul left his body, his heart trembled, and he was scared to death with an "oh".
When the people below saw it, they hurriedly stepped forward to support them, dragged their legs and ran away, scattered in a hurry, and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that the two sides avoided an unnecessary fight and successfully resolved the undecided matter, Wang Gui was happy and hurriedly thanked Cao Yingting again, and invited them into the hotel to drink a few cups to express his gratitude.
The masked man never glanced at Cao Yingting, snorted coldly, flew away with his feet, and disappeared into the vast night.
Cao Yingting was very disappointed, and he wanted to have a good meeting with that person.
A little red, the three of them were watching everyone coldly. At this time, I heard someone shouting from the northeast: "Come on, catch a thief, someone is stealing!" and a woman's silver bell-like laughter resounded in the sky.
A little red ears to listen to, a familiar voice. After carefully identifying it, the direction from which the shouts and laughter came from was exactly where everyone lived, and I was startled, thinking that I was pregnant, could it be that I had fallen for the trick of the villains to divert the tiger from the mountain, and someone had the idea of marrying the county lord! I didn't have time to greet the black and white eagles, so I turned around and flew towards the northeast residence.
Seeing a curtain on the door of the hotel, a black shadow flew out, floating out like lightning for several feet, flying towards the northeast.
Ren Tianqi's voice came from the air: "Third brother and fourth brother, go back to the store and take care of your younger siblings, don't move around." ”
The black and white eagles rushed into the store when they heard the sound.
Outside, Cao Yingting also nodded on his heels and flew northeast.
Wang Gui and the others rushed into the hotel.
The two gorgeously dressed people at the entrance of the store also stood up with swords, one of them raised his sword and fell, and the other sword cut down the curtain, holding a sword and looking inside and outside the store, like the head of the group.
Everyone in the store was in chaos for a while, and those who wanted to come out to see the excitement had something good, but they were forced back to the store by the gang at the door. Some people wanted to slip through the window, but they saw that there was also a sword in the window outside, blocking the way.
Ren Tianqi caught up with a little red, and when the two came to the residence, they saw Ren Yong and the six of them standing in front of the room with knives and sticks, waiting for the battle, and there were no other abnormalities.
Ren Tianqi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, who is shouting?"
Shawuer said: "Hui Ye, we also heard the sound, and we didn't know where to shout. We are safe here. ”
Uncle Lu Qian's voice came from upstairs: "Don't worry, brother Xian, go and take care of your younger siblings and others quickly, don't fall for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”
A little red was stunned, and he whispered hatefully: "It's bad, could it be that someone really beat the county lord's idea." ”
Ren Tianqi snorted coldly, the blue muscles on his face suddenly rose, and a word "dare" popped out between his teeth, and he jumped back with his feet, turned around gorgeously in the air, and flew out first with several ups and downs.
A little red also hurriedly flew to follow.
Several figures fluttered out of the inn and into the shadows.
Running into Cao Yingting head-on, Ren Tianqi didn't stop talking, and he didn't care who the person who came, seeing that it was not his own, he raised his breath and slapped it out of his right hand, pulled it back with his palm and claws, hid his left hand at his side, pinched his fingers and waited for him.
Cao Yingting was hurrying to follow, and saw Ren Tianqi flying over, and was about to ask each other, but saw that the other party was in the palm of his hand, and knew that it was a misunderstanding, and he should not answer, so he hurriedly flew out on his feet to avoid Lao Yuan.
Ren Wen and the others flew by. Ren Tianqi glanced at Cao Yingting coldly, and snorted coldly.
Cao Yingting paused for a moment, and when she saw Ren Tianqi's green gaze in the night, her heart trembled, and she hurriedly turned around and went back to the store.
A few feet away from the door of the restaurant, there was no fight or noise, and it was quiet.
Ren Tianqi has a big heart, although the county lord does not understand martial arts, but with the black and white double eagle, Gong Ming, Ming housekeeper and Dongxue four women, outsiders want to defeat everyone in the blink of an eye and rob the county lord, it is not possible or not easy.
Ren Tianqi stopped his body and broke into the store, and unconsciously bumped into another person at the door, and in the future, he had time to shoot the person to repel him, and the body protection magic skill on his body shook the person back two steps; The man's face was like ashes, and his body trembled like chaff.
When the sword-bearers at the door saw this, they came up and raised their swords to drive the man away.
It turned out to be a beggar gang of five bags of disciples.
The five bags of disciples hurriedly returned to the table and sat down honestly, but a pair of thief eyes kept sweeping back and forth, searching for the next target.
Ren Tianqi ignored the outsiders, looked up and saw that everyone in the county lord was unharmed, his heart was at ease, he exhaled, and the murderous aura on his face slowly disappeared. But seeing that the little second person who was standing on the table with a pot was familiar, the little second also winked at himself, very surprised, Dingqing looked at it again, it was actually Xiao San Gong Ming, who was secretly supervising the every move of everyone in the store. Ren Tianqi was greatly satisfied.
Ren Tianqi didn't break it, quickly returned to his position, drank a few big sips of wine in a row, and his heart was extremely calm and comfortable. When he turned his head, he saw that the woman in green next to him was gone, and he was very puzzled.
A little red also returned to his seat and whispered a few words in Ren Tianqi's ear.
