Although Shao Xi didn't intend to stand by and watch, he didn't immediately take care of the matter. He wanted to see if the man in gray robe was a human trafficker?
If he likes to meddle in other people's business, he doesn't mean to meddle in everything. If the man is really the human trafficker that the waiter said, it would be natural for these soldiers to take him back for questioning.
Although they would let the man go if they gave him money, after hearing what the waiter said just now, Shao Xi felt very sympathetic and understanding towards these soldiers.
He was originally the son, husband, and father of his family. Now he is serving in the army and guarding the border for the country, but he can't even get the minimum military salary. Not to mention taking care of his family, even eating for himself is a problem. It's no big deal to go out and make some money. wrong.
What's more, they are not relying on their military status to bully the local people, they just want to squeeze some money from those who are heresy. Although this kind of thing is not recommended, it is completely understandable given their current situation. .
But if this is a misunderstanding, it will not do any good for the two sides to continue fighting like this.
If the man only put the shackles on the woman for some special reason, wouldn't it be unfair to be misunderstood by these soldiers now?
Besides, if this matter gets serious, not only will these soldiers not get their money, but they might even be whipped or given a military stick when they go back, which is really an injustice to them.
It's best to make this kind of thing a big deal and make it a trivial matter, so that everyone won't be in trouble.
Therefore, Shao Xi did not rush to intervene, but wanted to observe for a while. If the man in gray robe was really a human trafficker, and these soldiers could not capture him, Shao Xi would not mind taking him down and handing him over to the local garrison. Disposal.
So Shao Xi and others first ordered a large pot of beef stew, plus four jars of fine sorghum wine.
The waiter responded and turned around and ran towards the back hall. After a while, he took another waiter with him and brought two jars of wine to the table of Shao Xi and others. He only said that the beef would be ready in a while and asked Shao Xi to wait. People wait a moment.
Shao Xi was not in a hurry at the moment, his mind was focused on the people at the table in front of him.
I saw one of the several strong men surrounding the man yelling at the man in gray robe: "You bastard! How dare you kidnap people blatantly in broad daylight."
"We are going to take you back to hold you accountable, but you still dare to fight back. Don't think that a little martial arts is a big deal. When I got anxious, I pulled a team of people to see if you can beat me."
It seems that this person is the leader of this group of soldiers. From his tone, he may be a captain.
The five fires form a team, which means that he has fifty people under his control. If he really pulls all the people in his team here as he said, I'm afraid this gray-robed man will be really difficult to deal with.
People say that two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. No matter how advanced your martial arts skills are, it is impossible to defeat one against a hundred. On the battlefield, even if you are a ninth-level master, facing thousands of troops, you can only do your best. Save.
The so-called sweeping an army is just a legend!
However, the man didn't seem to care about the strong man's words. He still grabbed the wine jar and poured wine, picked up the wine bowl and drank. Then he reached out and grabbed the beef cubes in the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth with big mouthfuls. He didn't take the other person seriously at all.
Seeing that the man was ignoring him, the strong man probably felt a little embarrassed on his face, and shouted sharply: "I'm talking to you, are you fucking deaf? Either take the money, or come back with us, otherwise what will happen today Don’t even think about being kind!”
The man raised his hand and threw the half-bitten beef back into the bowl. He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. He raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth without even looking at the strong man.
He just replied casually: "Don't you understand people's words? I have already said that I am not a human trafficker. I will not give you a penny of the money you want. If you want to commit robbery, don't blame me. You’re welcome to wait.”
When the strong man heard this, he suddenly felt unhappy, but he still asked one more question.
"You still want to quibble? You said you are not a human trafficker, but why are you dressed in Central Plains clothing, bringing a woman from the Western Regions with you, and shackling her feet?"
The man sighed impatiently, turned to look at the strong man, and asked sarcastically: "Who said that people from the Central Plains can't bring women from the Western Regions to cross the border? Have you ever seen anyone who trafficked people from the Central Plains? A woman from the Western Region goes to the Western Region to sell? Also, what does it have to do with you whether she is shackled or not?"
Shao Xi sat aside and felt that what he said was quite reasonable. No one stipulated that people from the Central Plains could not bring a woman from the Western Regions through the border.
As he said, human trafficking usually involves selling women from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. Where has anyone heard of people being trafficked back again? This is completely unconscionable.
Besides, although the woman's feet were shackled, she was so calm, and it seemed that she was not forced. It would indeed be a bit rash to conclude that the man was a human trafficker.
However, there is something unusual about these two people. No matter how you look at them, you will feel that there is something wrong, but you can't tell what is wrong for a while.
So Shao Xi planned to watch for a while to see in which direction this matter would develop.
The strong man looked like a rough man at first glance, and naturally he would not gain any advantage by arguing with others. At this time, he was also a little annoyed by the man's question.
"Stop talking nonsense to me. Since you refuse to come up with the money, I will take you back to the military camp and torture you today. Brothers, do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the strong man rushed forward, raised his casserole-sized fist and hit the man in gray robe on the temple.
This punch came with the sound of wind. I saw that the man was not in a hurry. He just moved his butt towards the other end of the bench. With just a slight pressure, the end of the bench facing the strong man tilted up. When he got up, the edge of the stool was just touching the strong man's knees.
The strong man rushed forward too hard and was hit so suddenly. He was immediately in pain and sat down on the ground, holding his knees.
He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Here! Fix him hard. If anyone is killed today, I will be responsible for it!"
When several of his soldiers saw what he said, they immediately pounced on him fiercely.
But the man turned around and turned the tilted side of the bench towards the people who were rushing towards him. He kicked the stool leg from the back of his left foot with his right foot, and the whole stool flew out.
The tilted stool hit one of them in the face, and the person who was hit immediately covered his face and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the man raised his leg and kicked another person in the chest, directly kicking the person away. The tables and stools that the group of waiters had just set were smashed to pieces by him.
At this time, two more strong men raised their fists to hit the man at the same time. The man just turned his body to one side and ducked from between the two bodies to behind them.
He reached out his hands and grabbed the belts of the two men, then turned around and threw the two men out of the door one after the other.
By coincidence, the few people outside who managed to get up and were about to enter were knocked back, and now there were eight people outside the door.
At this time, the other two strong men who saw their companions suffering a loss saw that they could not fight the man with their bare hands, so one of them picked up a bench and rushed towards the man.
The man in front of him lifted a bench and smashed it down. The man dodged and the bench of the strong man hit the ground. The man raised his foot and stepped on the bench. The strong man holding the bench hit the ground. He leaned forward involuntarily.
The man raised his elbow and pushed it against the strong man's heart. The strong man couldn't breathe. He opened his mouth wide, covered his chest and took two steps back. He sat down on the ground and couldn't get up again.
The strong man holding a bench at the back was rushing in front of the man. The man raised his leg and kicked the bench that had been on the ground.
As a result, just like their captain, the opponent's knee was hit hard by the stool, his whole body lost his balance, and he fell down.
The man hooked the leg of the bench on the other side of his feet. The bench that had hit the strong man's knees immediately turned sideways. The fallen strong man was lying on the sideways bench without falling down. on the ground.
Due to the pain in his knees, he was lying on a stool and couldn't stand up even if he wanted to.
The man in gray robe reached out and pulled the bench in his hand, kicked it towards the place where he had just been sitting, and then jumped over. The man and the bench happened to be in place at the same time.
When he fell, he was sitting on the bench. He couldn't breathe, his face didn't change, he picked up the wine bowl on the table and started drinking again.
The entire fight was smooth and smooth. The man did not make any unnecessary movements. His shots seemed random but he always hit the target. In just an instant, he knocked everyone on the opponent's side to the ground.
Not only did he subdue the opponent, but he didn't hurt anyone's life, and he didn't even cause any damage to the opponent's muscles and bones. It can be said that he was very careful.
Shao Xi was very impressed by this man's close combat skills. It could be seen that this man's martial arts was not weak, but facing these soldiers who only knew how to fight on the battlefield, he did not use his vitality or even use anything. The killing move.
Just clicking to subdue the opponent shows that he has no ill intentions in his heart.
As the saying goes, when a scholar encounters a soldier, there is no reason to explain.
Since I couldn't explain clearly to these big bosses, and I was too lazy to explain, I used this method that the other party could understand to make them retreat.
From this point of view, Shao Xi thought that this person was not a villain.
Although it is not ruled out that he did not want to hurt these soldiers and cause trouble for himself, but judging from their previous conversation and the fact that he sat back down and did not choose to escape after the fight, perhaps this matter was indeed a misunderstanding.
So Shao Xi picked up a jar of sorghum wine on the table, carried a bowl to the man's table, and put the jar and bowl on the table.
He asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, would you mind drinking at the same table?"
The man raised his head and glanced at Shao Xi, without making any expression. He neither nodded in agreement nor shook his head in refusal, as if it had nothing to do with him whether Shao Xi sat here or not.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, Shao Xi didn't mind, but sat down shamelessly.
He picked up the wine jar and filled the other person's bowl with sorghum wine, then filled his own bowl. Then he raised the wine bowl in his hand and gestured to the other person. Regardless of whether the other person responded or not, he just raised his neck. I drank the bowl of sorghum wine in one gulp.
"Your Excellency is so handsome!"
