In the night, the lights of the candles illuminated the figures, and the swords glowed coldly under the lights. The leading man dragged his sword and stared at the half-dead horses in front of him. He yelled at the five people in front of him to kill him: "Leave no one behind!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and faced him with his sword, followed by dozens of people from behind.
The strong man Lao Yue shouted loudly: "I will kill you and others without even raising my eyelids."
Afterwards, he held an iron rod and fought against the man with a big sword. The sword and stick collided with each other, making a harsh "clang" sound. The huge collision caused sparks to fly. The other four people, including Hu Hai and Zhao Zhengli, were also surrounded one after another. Their swords had no eyes, and they There was a cold light shining brightly in the dark night, and Hu Hai seemed to be in a deserted place. Four or five people's lives were already ended with a swing of the long sword. Several bandits wearing armor quickly surrounded Hu Hai.
Zhao Zhengli saw that several people were fighting with ease, so he suppressed his cultivation. He didn't seem to be merciful in this battle. Maybe people are evil and selfish by nature. Whether it was the villagers who fell into trouble or the government officials who had no worries about food and drink, they all wanted to do it for them. Self-interest without regard for others.
Maybe this is the way to survive in the world. Kill clearly, speak with fists and strength. Hu Hai and Lao Yue tested him at the dinner table yesterday. When they met the bandits, they were unarmed but were beaten. Before going down the mountain, they were tried by Li Zhan, the guest of the Yu family. The process of hand-holding, all of this is saying that "strength is the basis for being respected."
Zhao Zhengli tossed his sleeves and long robe, with a fair face, he resolutely grabbed two machetes and danced with a sound. With one knife, he ended the life of the reckless person. He walked among the crowd like chopping melons and vegetables. Blood spilled into the night sky. The people on both sides were shocked and pale. , this cannot be called a "battle", but a unilateral massacre.
Several armored men ignored Hu Hai and charged straight at the white-faced boy who looked like a killing machine with their swords. Zhao Zhengli looked at it indifferently, then kicked the bandit who fell to the ground with one foot. The man shot straight at the armored cavalry like a sandbag. Zhao Zhengli raised his double swords. Immediately afterwards, several armored men turned sideways to avoid the incoming sandbags. They saw a black shadow and horses flashing past them. Then their necks felt cold, blood spurted out, and they fell down before they could shout.
The movements were so fast that it was dazzling. Hu Hai stared at the several armors that had their throats sealed with a knife. Just now, he tried his best to cut off one of them, but the white-faced Taoist priest actually dodged and killed them all. It seemed that he didn't have any trouble at all. What state must it be?
For a moment, a chill ran down his back. Thinking of testing the other party at the dinner table yesterday, he felt frightened. I wonder if the white-faced Taoist priest held a grudge?
On the other side, Lao Yue fought with the man with the big sword for more than a hundred rounds. The strong man Lao Yue had already got off his horse and was fighting with the man with the big sword in the forest. Both sides were red-eyed, and their whole bodies were filled with infuriating energy. The stick and the broadsword were infuriating. The destructive power under the blessing is astonishing. A tree as thick as a bowl can be broken with a swing of the stick, and a boulder of several thousand kilograms can be exploded with a single blow. The strength of both sides is evenly matched.
The rest of the minions were all killed and maimed by Hu Hai and others. The four of them were watching the fight between the two strong men, Lao Yue, not far away. Maybe the man with the big sword was distracted to observe the battle here, and saw that there were almost no casualties. God, at the critical moment, he was hit in the head by Lao Yue with a stick. The stick filled with true energy exploded on the spot like a fruit exploding.
After seeing the man, Lao Yue sat down on the ground and gasped: "His grandma is quite capable. She is actually a junior master at the middle level."
The four people stepped forward. Lao Yue stood up with the iron rod in hand. He saw the blood stains on Zhao Zhengli's gown through the firelight on the ground. He joked: "Has the Taoist priest hatched the chicks?" Then he regretted, "It's a pity, Lao Yue, that I didn't see the Taoist priest hatch the chicks." .”
The two middle-aged sisters Hu Hai and Bi Huajian squinted at the expressions of the parties involved. Zhao Zhengli smiled with a smile on his face. He thought the strong man Lao Yue was very interesting, but he was much less thoughtful than the three others: "I'll see you next time when I have time. also the same."
"It's easy to talk about."
Lao Yue stepped forward with an iron rod and patted Zhao Zhengli on the shoulder. These two blows scared the three of them so much that they instinctively took a few steps back, fearing that their own safety would be affected.
Lao Yue noticed that the three of them were retreating and shouted: "Why are you three retreating? Lao Yue, I was a bit brave just now, so I can't be such a big deterrent!"
"..."
The three of them glanced at the white-faced Taoist priest in unison, thinking that it was just you, the big boss, who didn't understand the situation. However, they didn't say anything on the surface, so they let this big boss test the white-faced Taoist priest's bottom line to his heart's content, so that the three of them would have a clear understanding of the situation. base.
Seeing that the three of them were restrained, Lao Yue hooked up with the white-faced Taoist priest Zhao Zhengli and said, "A few dozen miles further south is Situ Jianzhuang. I heard that there is a young lady in Situ's family who looks like a water spirit. Let's go around it tomorrow." Go around and have a look, if the Taoist priest likes it, I can wrap it up on Lao Yue, and I will definitely carry it to warm your bed before you go to bed tomorrow night."
Zhao Zhengli was also amused when he saw his mean expression: "Then I'd like to thank Senior Yue first!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm asking you to show your dignity to me. I'm so kind."
After Lao Yue finished speaking, he didn't forget to wipe his saliva.
The two of them coaxed together, causing Hu Hai and Biyu Birou to mistakenly think that they had known each other for a long time and had engaged in such a conspiracy.
After combing the battlefield, the five of them selected a few good fast horses, then each changed into clean clothes in the dark, and rode away in the night.
Less than half an hour later, they found an inn on Guandao. They paid several times the amount of silver and asked the owner to prepare supper and guest rooms, and also feed the horses in the stable.
It was finally a quiet night, and everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Before dawn, they heard the sound of horses and whips being raised on the official road, and then the inn was hit with a bang.
The waiter opened the door and was immediately questioned: "Are you expecting three men and two women to pass by here?"
"My lord, the inn closed early yesterday. I wonder who else broke the law?"
"Last night there was a brutal fighting in Erli Township. Dozens of bandits were killed. The identities of the five people were suspicious, so we traced them early in the morning and prepared to take people back to the county government to collect the reward for the bandits."
"The younger one didn't see anything, and he didn't even know where those five people were."
The five people in the room had woken up and were gathering together to discuss countermeasures.
The waiter dismissed the yamen servant, then closed the door and entered the house. The shopkeeper had already woken up and signaled to the waiter that he had done the right thing. The collusion between officials and bandits was tacitly understood everywhere. On the surface, he said he was receiving the reward, but in fact, he handed it over to the bandit leader. That’s all.
The shopkeeper and the waiter did not do this out of good intentions, but because they were afraid that the government officials would know that they were harboring bandit heroes in the inn, and they would settle the accounts later. After all, these heroes had cut off the county government's financial resources, and they would naturally become "accomplices" if they harbored them. .
The shopkeeper and the waiter hurriedly went upstairs to inform the five people, and opened the back door of the inn to let a few people into the forest. As long as they left the inn, they would not care about the shopkeeper's waiter's affairs. They cleaned up the stables and guest rooms and completely cleaned them.
The five people who were walking through the woods early in the morning were very angry. They were obviously paid by imperial officials to do things for them, but why did they end up hiding here and there as if they were traitors?
After nearly a day of walking along the trail, encountering robbers five or six times along the way, and killing several of them, we arrived at Shunlongtan in the middle of the afternoon.
The terrain here is relatively flat, with groups of lakes and the intersection of two rivers. The good geographical environment makes this place richer than other mountainous areas.
Situ Jianzhuang is not far from here.
The big moves in Shu for two consecutive days have spread in the Jianghu and among the people. The Jianghu people can also see the clues from the east and west routes. Not only the Jianghu people, but also the court people also understand that as the governor of Shu County, No matter how stupid Liu Yuanji is, he can still tell.
In the yamen of Shu County, Liu Yuanji, a burly figure wearing a round-collared crimson robe and official uniform, wandered around the inner room. The bright red crimson robe contrasted with his similarly rosy face with Chinese characters. He slightly closed his eagle eyes, stroking his eight-character goatee with one hand and said to himself: "Sooner or later, I will know. There will be such a day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon! Since we are using Jianghu means, let me show you the real Jianghu!"
Then he shouted outside the house: "Someone, go to Wolong Villa to send a message, saying that it's time for the first group to go out." "
The soldier took his life and ran away without asking the reason.
Wolong Villa is the manor where the county governor Liu Yuanji kept foreigners. He hoped to create a "Mr. Wolong" from the Three Kingdoms period, so he named it Wolong Villa. His cousin Liu Yuandong is the owner of the village, and he has been secretly helping the county guard deal with various hidden things and Jianghu issues.
The other side. Shunlongtan.
Zhao Zhengli and his party have arrived at Situ Jianzhuang. To be precise, Situ Jianzhuang took the initiative to invite a few people to visit.
Dozens of Jianghu people gathered in the huge courtyard of Situ Jianzhuang, holding knives and sticks, carrying swords and hammers, and whips and hooks. It can be said that eighteen kinds of martial arts were gathered together.
The reason why these many Jianghu people are here is to witness the heroes who swept away the bandit dens in Shu County. The Jianghu people naturally hope that the world will be peaceful. If the world is not peaceful, the rivers and lakes will not be peaceful. The corruption in Shu County will also be affected in the Jianghu.
Today there are people who dare to overthrow Shu County on both the east and west fronts, which of course wakes up the immersed Jianghu, because they have been suppressed for these years. These two groups of people have accomplished feats that they wanted to do but dare not do, no matter who the organizers behind them are. Who, as the main force of the two vanguard teams, they at least admired their ability to suppress the bandits.
The owner of Jianzhuang prepared two banquets tens of meters long in the east and west. People from all walks of life were seated in the east and west lines. This was also the time for the owner to congratulate the bandit-suppressing heroes of Shu.
What surprised the heroes was that the owner of the sword village was a woman, and she was full of charm.
She occupied the first place and raised her hands, and the whole audience was silent. This aura made Biyu and Birou's eyes shine. Isn't that what a generation of female heroes is?
She picked up a bowl of wine and said to Zhao Zhengli and the others: "I, Situ Qing, have been living in Shu for more than ten years. This time, on behalf of Situ Jianzhuang, I support the actions of several heroes, and I also believe in the decisions made by the forces behind you. This bowl I, Situ Qing, respect the heroes!"
After saying that, she raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, and the rest of the crowd also raised their bowls to toast.
Zhao Zhengli thought to himself, could this Jianzhuang guess that the power behind it was the imperial court? So the first one to jump out and stand in line? Will it be easier to develop after the storm subsides?
After all, although this action is concealed, it is not traceable. Careful observation can still reveal the direction behind it.
After drinking for three rounds, Situ Qing took the initiative to talk to several heroes. Zhao Zhengli also took this opportunity to take a closer look. He looked like a forty-year-old man, but had the skin of a thirty-year-old man. There were very few wrinkles, but his eyebrows showed a look that is rare for women. With her decisive and heroic spirit, red lips and white teeth, she chatted with Biyu Birou about her past with the Bihua Sword Sect, and threatened to work with them to overthrow the pedantic county governor and avenge the Bihua Sword Sect.
The two sisters heard that she had an old friend with the Bihua Sword Sect, and it was a rare revelation of true love. When they met someone they knew, they naturally poured out all kinds of humiliation, and by the way, they took off their veils when they met honestly, revealing two crying pear blossoms. A pretty face with rain.
Zhao Zhengli looked and looked again, and found that his romantic companions turned out to be two stunning women. With their looks, he couldn't help but think of Miss Yu's family. It was a pity that Miss Yu's family was not as tall and tall as them, otherwise she would definitely be more beautiful than the two sisters.
Then he looked at the more upright owner of the village. He swallowed dryly and drank to resolve the embarrassment.
Lao Yue, who was next to Zhao Zhengli, saw the clues and touched him with his elbow: "What? Taoist priest, Miss Situ's family probably can't be counted on. How about Lao Yue trying to get these two ladies to warm the bed?"
"..."
Not to mention that Daochang Zhao actually felt a little excited at one moment.
Fortunately, he was a profound Taoist and did not express his thoughts. Otherwise, studying Yuan Taoist's "health books" at Shanmen all these years would have been in vain.
