Huangzhou Prefecture Tuanfengyi is located on the north bank of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, more than a hundred miles west of Hankou, straddling the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River. Going northeast through the Jiang and Han routes, one can enter the Zhu, Dao, Ba, Xi, and Qi rivers in the south of the Dabie Mountains, cross the Wutou and Chuwei, go straight down to the Jianghuai River, and advance towards Sanwu. It goes up from the west to the east and from the north to the south. It is known as "Little Hankou".
Li Rufeng was quite familiar with this place. At this time, he came here with Chen Quanzhong's third boss Wang Yisi and two other brothers. He actually felt like returning to his hometown. After all, he had been fostered here for three years.
Along the way, hurriedly and slowly, rambling here and there, Li Rufeng finally figured out where Chen Quanzhong and his horses had gone. It turned out that there was a village in the mountains near Guanyin Mountain. There were many herders in the village, and the cattle and horses had formed a herd, so their horses In this village they are herded by the villagers. Obviously, that village was one of the lairs of Chen Quanzhong's group. Even this Wang Yisi, Li Rufeng also knew that he was definitely sent by Chen Quanzhong to monitor him. If it were ordinary thieves, three or five people would be far from Li Rufeng's opponent, and he would be able to escape in just a few hits. But this was someone Chen Quanzhong personally selected, and Li Rufeng did not dare to act rashly.
In particular, Wang Yisi seems to be difficult to deal with. If he hadn't had great kung fu, he wouldn't have been able to become the third leader of the Han army, let alone be entrusted with this task by Chen Quanzhong. However, since they were willing to take risks and agreed to let him out, they would definitely not be disadvantageous to him easily, so that he would have a way to leave.
Li Rufeng smiled and said to Wang Yisi: "Third general, I have made an appointment with my friends to meet up in this town, but I didn't say where exactly. We can't find a needle in a haystack right now, so why not find a place to rest first?" Although it was general. Bandits all call their leaders "leader" or "master", but the leaders of this group of horse thieves all call them generals, so Li Rufeng followed the custom and called Wang Yisi the third general.
"The general has already given orders, and everything is at the discretion of Brother Li." Wang Yisi complimented.
Li Rufeng knew that there was a butcher's shop in the south of the town. The owner of the butcher's shop was Mr. Zheng, a tyrant in the area. He was often bullied by him back then. He happened to go there today to find some trouble, so he led the three of them to the south. After walking less than two miles, I saw a butcher's shop, which stocked pork, mutton, fresh fish and other meat products. It seems that the business is quite big. Li Rufeng approached the butcher's shop without saying anything and went straight to the back room. Sure enough, he saw Mr. Zheng waving a cattail leaf fan and reading a torn book while humming a little tune.
Li Rufeng suddenly barged in, startling Mr. Zheng. He hurriedly closed the book and looked at it for a long time. "...Li...Li...Li Qier" looked back again and saw Wang Yisi, his body In a blink of an eye, his mouth opened, and the word "three" was not uttered. Seeing Wang Yisi's eyes and shaking his head slightly, he endured it, and in the blink of an eye he became angry and said to Li Rufeng: "Three... You have the guts to come back."
"Haha... It's rare that Third Master still remembers me. You're fine!"
"Boy, your life is pretty good. You're not dead yet. You still owe me twenty taels of silver. Why, have you collected enough? If not, you have to leave something behind." Then.
As Mr. Zheng spoke, he glanced at Wang Yisi. Seeing that he looked aloof from the incident, he became bolder and bolder.
"I didn't expect Third Master to be so stingy. I don't have any money, but I brought a pig's head this time. Is it worth twenty taels of silver?"
"I want to sell a pig's head for twenty taels. You think I'm the third master and I'm a beggar, right? If you don't pay back the money, I'll go to the chopping block myself and save the trouble."
"I also think that Third Master's head cannot be sold for twenty taels, so there is no other way but to sell Third Master's other parts as well."
Mr. Zheng was not a vegetarian to become the hegemon here. He immediately knew that he was looking for trouble. But when he saw four people coming with Li Rufeng, he didn't know what their relationship was. He couldn't suffer the consequences alone. He actually endured his anger, turned his face, and said haha: "You boy, is the third master such a stingy person? Still thinking about your twenty taels of silver? It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time. I had a good time with you. Let's go. Let's go pick out a good piece of meat and stew it for you to catch the wind." After saying that, he walked out and looked at Wang Yisi with his eyes.
Li Rufeng thought to himself that he wanted to go outside and start a fight so that the butcher shop's clerks would come to help without stopping him. But he was very happy in his heart. This was exactly the effect he wanted. In this way, Wang Yisi and the others could not stand by and watch, but he could find an opportunity to escape after the fight started.
There are not many waiters in the butcher shop outside. There are only two of them, both of them are Master Zheng's apprentices. As soon as Mr. Zheng stepped out of the house, he laughed loudly: "Haha... You kid hasn't been back for many years. Mr. Zheng will cook you two pig's trotters to catch the wind. How about we make a few cups?"
"Yes, we have to invite all the folks in the town to eat. Two pig's trotters are definitely not enough."
Master Zheng San knew that Li Rufeng was really trying to find trouble. He had just seen some clues in Wang Yisi's eyes, so he stopped pretending and said seductively: "Brother, I'm joking. I, Zheng San, do this in this town." Business also comes and goes, it’s hard, why do I still want your help?”
Li Rufeng said: "Why, the third master just said he wanted to treat us, and now he wants to go back on his word?"
Master Zheng said: "My guys also need to eat, but they don't allow me to do this."
"Really? Then I'll do it myself." Li Rufeng was determined to cause trouble, so he started to smash things first.
The two guys were used to following Mr. Zheng in his arrogance, so they didn't accept this kind of provocation. Without saying a word, they struck at him with their swords. Li Rufeng dodged left and right, only to feel that the tip of the sword was traveling along his own bone marrow. , so not dangerous.
It turns out that the guy's sword skills are as good as those of a cook and a cow, and he can be considered a master in sword skills. Li Rufeng never expected that these two people were so good at swordsmanship. At that time, he didn't realize that Butcher Zheng turned out to be a hidden master. Although he was fighting alone Li Rufeng was no match for him in a solo fight, but one against two, it was obviously not easy for Li Rufeng to escape. He just hoped that Wang Yisi would not stand idly by, otherwise his plan would not be implemented.
Wang Yisi glanced at Mr. Zheng secretly, winked at his two subordinates, and joined the battle circle together.
When Mr. Zheng saw everyone on the stage, he didn't hesitate. He took off his shirt and went in bare-chested. He used a butcher's knife in his left hand and a stainless steel hand ax in his right hand.
For a moment, swords and axes were flying, clanging and clanging, and a big fight broke out. Those two guys were taught Kung Fu by Mr. Zheng Sanye. His Kung Fu was naturally better than the two guys. Although he was bloated, his body skills were light and strange. He had a butcher's knife in each hand, and he could move left and right. Suddenly, it seems like two people.
Li Rufeng slowly moved closer to the four and three Wang Yi people. Finally, taking advantage of the large number of people, he stabilized the situation and looked for opportunities to escape.
Finally, Li Rufeng found a loophole and was kicked out three feet away. Taking this opportunity, he pretended to be seriously injured and crawled to a corner. When he reached the corner, he turned around, stood up, and ran a few steps. , flew up and disappeared at the end of the roof.
But he didn't know that Mr. Zheng behind him quickly called the two guys to stop and let Wang Yisi into the house.
Mr. Zheng's house is a big one on this street. His butcher shop is just around the corner. Behind the butcher shop is the place where he usually does business and rests. It is also the house where Li Rufeng found him when he first came in. . His courtyard is behind this house, with the main entrance facing another street around the corner. However, the house where he rests has a door opening into the courtyard. After entering, there is a small garden, and beyond that is the wall of the courtyard. The one facing the small garden is the back door of his house.
At this time, Butcher Zheng introduced Wang Yisi and four others into the house, sat down in his living room, and bowed down: "I don't know if the three generals are here in person. It would be rude of Zheng San not to welcome him from afar."
Wang Yisi helped Zheng San up and said: "Haha, it's a good thing you didn't come to greet him, so he accidentally entered your store. The general often said that the third master was both wise and brave, and his decision-making ability was extraordinary. He is the backbone of my army to build up the Han Dynasty. Today, when I see the third master show his majesty, I know that what the general said is true!"
"Haha... The three generals are joking. That is the general's favor. We have received the kindness of the general, and we have been subsidized by this store to support our family. We have also been given the appointment of camp commander, so we should repay the favor."
"Well, very good. I will report your merits to the general." Wang Yisi paused and then said: "Then Li Rufeng, the general asked me to monitor him and let him get away. That's why, it's just I didn't send anyone to follow him just now, so I have to trouble Third Master to investigate this matter and see where he went."
This Wang Yisi is the third leader of Chen Quanzhong's group of horse thieves. In their own words, he is the third general, the third most popular figure in the Xinghan Army besides General Chen Quanzhong and Second General Zou Zheguo. Zheng San is not the third person in Xinghan Army. The leader of the Jingdong Camp of the Han Army.
Wang Yi Si and his third master were really a great respect for Zheng San. He couldn't express how happy he was at the moment, so he agreed: "Don't worry, third general. With the support of the general, our Jingdong Battalion will After many years of operation, there are more than 300 people in Yingzhong among Han, Huai, Jiangxi and Zhejiang. They have ears and eyes in each strategic location, so it is not difficult to find someone."
