There were eight people in total, not many, but their identities were not correct. They were all from the knife shop across the street, that is, the Lin Yue Knife Shop.
The leader had a white gauze tied on his head, covering his left ear. If you get a little closer to him, you can smell the strong scent of the topical ointment.
"Hey, Bai Zhentang is out? Come and comment. Your knife shop kicked out people on the first day it opened. Aren't you afraid that the business will collapse? Doesn't it have a bad reputation?"
"Who are you?" Bai Lang looked like he didn't recognize the other person. In fact, he already knew from Liu She that the man whose ears he cut off was named Cheng Jian, and that he had an uncle named Gao Fei at home, who was a well-known ruthless figure in the knife shop opposite.
"..." Cheng Jian's face could clearly see a surge of energy and blood even under the illumination of lanterns that frequently appeared around him at night. He originally thought that his appearance would make the other person feel a sudden shock, or that no matter what emotion he was feeling, there should always be an expression, so that it would be easier to deal with it. The results of it? The other party simply ignored him, making his appearance feel like a fist hitting a ball of cotton, without exerting any force.
Neither Cheng Jian nor stupid, his words hesitated, and then he immediately reacted. Realize that you have been fooled. Even if it was just the light from the lantern, the other party wouldn't be able to distinguish their Swordsman attire.
"Hmph, Bailang, you are so blind that you can still be a town hall. Is there no one in your sword shop?"
Bailang rubbed his eyes, and seemed to be able to distinguish clearly, and said with a smile: "Oh! I thought it was someone who was barking outside, but it turned out to be you, One Ear."
"One, one ear?!"
"What's the new name I gave you? Don't you like it?" Bailang said as he pulled out the dagger directly from his waist and raised his body. Suddenly, there was a feeling of a tiger leaping in the dark from Bailang. rising on the body.
"Bailang! How dare you!?" Cheng Jian was stunned. He was ready to start a verbal spat, and had even thought about what to curse next. But he never expected that the other party would start drawing his sword before anyone even got close. It's like I'm going to kill you when I meet you. This is rare even in sword fights!
Cheng Jian didn't even think about it and turned around and ran out of the alley. The people who came with him did the same and had no intention of drawing out their swords and slashing with them.
The moment Cheng Jian turned around, besides surprise, there was a flash of sneer on his face.
When Bailang saw this, he felt contempt at first, and then he felt that something was wrong.
Last time in Hualou, the opponent was caught off guard, but this time it was obviously different. He wouldn't have turned around and ran away without even pulling out the knife, right? And as soon as he arrived outside the alley, he immediately slowed down. What was this?
Bailang's original plan was not to kill someone immediately, but he also wanted to teach the other party a profound lesson. If he could cut off another ear, he would certainly not be merciful. After all, the man from the knife shop across the street actually dared to come and cause trouble openly at this time, so there was no way Bailang would give in. Anyone else would have to fight.
But the situation is different now. The other party has no intention of touching with the knife, and his behavior is quite strange.
Bailang paused for a moment, and stopped Zhang Wu and other waist knives who were following him with knives. His spiritual senses dispersed, and soon at a dark corner near the alley, Bailang sensed a person he was still carrying. The scent of a very familiar person.
Zhang Liang!
Bailang reacted suddenly, then put away his feet and even the knife in his hand was retracted from its scabbard.
The person behind Bai Lang who was planning to kill him was also stunned and put away the knife in his hand. They are all warriors, but they don’t have Bai Lang’s keen sense of spiritual energy as a Qi Refiner, and they don’t know that there are hidden dangers outside. They just simply feel that their own town hall just scares the other side, and if they scare away, they will naturally put it away. knife. I don’t know that I almost got caught just now.
"Bai Lang is trying to scare people? I thought you really dared to use a knife on the street, but it turns out it's nothing more than that. Okay, if you don't dare to do it, don't talk nonsense, get out of the way, I want to go in and make money!"
Where is the timidity in Cheng Jian's words from turning around and running away just now? He immediately returned to his initial arrogance. This time even "Master" claimed to be in love.
What is this for? Naturally, he wanted to anger Bai Lang.
If Bailang didn't have the help of the Qi Refiner's spiritual sense, he might have been tricked just now. But there are no ifs in the world. Now Bai Lang has seen through the trick Cheng Jian wanted to play.
"Haha, One Ear, it turns out that you also know that I'm scaring you? Who dares to use a knife on the street? What if there is some dog hidden in the nook and cranny and looks at it, and then makes a big fuss about it and throws dirty water on it? Don’t you want it to be bad?”
With this sentence, Bai Lang directly revealed the other party's insidiousness. I just want to seduce him into taking action directly, preferably by hurting someone. Then Zhang Liang jumped out and took him down on the grounds of "no street fighting" in the yamen. And this time it was justifiable, it would be difficult for him to escape like last time, and he didn't know how much suffering he would have to suffer.
Moreover, Qianfang was cleaned up as soon as it opened. This is a huge loss of face for the entire Qianfang, and it means that you can't even protect yourself on the territory of your own knife shop. If there is another accident, will it affect the venue? Wouldn't it be bad luck for the customers who were trying to make money if they were killed?
With such worries, Qianfang's business will be deeply affected.
These twists and turns had already been turned around in Bai Lang's mind the moment he saw through the other party. I have to say that fortunately he was the one who was sitting in Qianfang and rushed out first. If it had been anyone else, Cheng Jian might have aroused his anger and set up a crowd to chase him out together, and he might even have been seriously injured or killed. If someone is involved, it will be really troublesome. Moreover, the other party can arrange for two ordinary passers-by to pass by and then be "affected". In this case, it will be even more difficult to escape. At least you have to peel off the skin.
As Bailang said this, he tilted his head and looked at the dark street corner not far to the right. Zhang Liang's breath was gasping in the darkness in his spiritual sense. He must have been so angry at the word "dog thing".
Now that Bai Lang's words have come to this point, Zhang Liang, who is secretly waiting for an opportunity, can no longer hide it. At this time, he could either walk away without saying a word, and Bai Lang didn't dare to stop him. Or just come out and go from secretly attacking someone to openly looking for trouble.
"Bai Lang, who are you scolding?" Zhang Liang's choice was the latter. He walked out of the darkness with a livid face, and seven or eight government officials with long swords came out together.
"Yo! It turns out to be Team Leader Zhang! I was so blind that I didn't notice you sitting there. I just scolded those insidious and shameless dogs. Did you see it?"
Zhang Liang looked at Bai Lang and glared hard for a few times. He didn't talk nonsense to Bai Lang, turned around and led the people to the Qianfang in the alley. Cheng Jian, who was behind, followed closely without saying a word. The two sides moved forward and backward, and for a while Bailang, who was standing in the alley, was not easily blocked from the corridor.
