Chapter 20
Tian Zhitang was very dissatisfied with Qu Lu's unprovoked provocation, and intended to teach him a lesson. However, he saw Liu Tongqing turning his horse around, urging his mount towards the Qu family brothers and sisters who were being pulled, and slowly accelerating and stretched out his hand.
Immediately, a follower drew a sword and threw it. When he took the sword in his hand, Liu Tongqing had already changed his riding posture. He stepped on the stirrups, raised his hips and arched his back. In just a few feet, he raised his horse's speed to the extreme, and he was so powerful.
On the ground, they charged at the Qu brothers and sisters. The thunderous sound of hooves made the latter startled at first, and then they quickly stepped out of the way, both of them looking angry and suspicious.
"Liu Tongqing, what are you doing!" Qu Lu gritted his teeth and asked as soon as he stepped aside.
"How dare a pair of shameless wild mandarin ducks run wild in front of me?" Liu Tongqing, who had missed a single hit, was not upset when he heard this. He reined in his horse leisurely, turned the horse's head again, and faced the song.
The siblings said.
"You, Mr. Liu, you'd better be careful when you speak!" Compared with the impulsive and impatient Qu Lu, Qu Ou was much calmer. He originally wanted to explain to his sister, but unexpectedly, he heard Liu Tongqing's scolding.
Even if he gave up his thoughts, he turned to give a warning with a livid face.
The abnormal relationship between brother and sister has always been the most sensitive nerve in Qu Ou Qu Lu's heart. In the past, the two of them traveled the world hand in hand, and most of their colleagues in the world were either hindered by their feelings or intimidated by their strength.
Hu, but after entering Liaozhou City this time, their brothers and sisters were publicly humiliated one after another. In the past, Tian Zhitang made rude remarks, and later Yue Zhifeng exposed his shortcomings in public, and now even Liu Tongqing, who relied on his father's protection to get into the military.
The dandy dares to openly poke his brother and sister Ni Lin, how can you let Qu Ou endure it? Do you really think that the "Oul and Heron Dual Swords" are made of clay?
"You actually told me to be careful? Good! How brave!" Faced with the anger of the Qu family brothers and sisters, Liu Tongqing became more and more disdainful, laughed and gave a thumbs up, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Qu Ou, you are brave enough.
Are you fat? How dare you show your teeth to me? It’s true that you two brothers and sisters are famous masters in the world, but the masters are just like a bird? Song Xingchan, who was known as the invincible in the world, was also chopped up by Luo Hou and fed
Dog! Even the martial arts masters who have been blown up to the sky by you dare not argue with the imperial court. These people are nothing more than that, what are you and your two swords? If I were not afraid of people saying that my Liu family was a defaulter, I would have gone to hell a long time ago
I'll kill you two! It's your sister's turn to make trouble for me here?" After scolding, before the Qu brothers and sisters could react, Liu Tongqing turned to Han Daoer again: "Hurry up and pay for them!"<
/p>
"But -" Qu Lu's sudden challenge to Tian Zhitang had already startled Han Daoer. When he saw that Liu Tongqing was really dissatisfied about it, he was even more anxious, thinking that he would eat it again later.
After a pause, when he heard Liu Tongqing asking him to quickly settle the bill with the Qu brothers and sisters, his whole face immediately twisted into a frown, secretly cursing the other party that it really hurts to stand and talk!
It is said that the Little Knife Club is also one of the best gangster gangs in the city. It occupies two streets in the feng shui treasure land of West City. It seems that the territory is not small, but in fact it is just superficial beauty. After all, Liaozhou City is the seat of a state.
There is no way for Jianghu forces to grow and develop at will. The government cannot kill all the Jianghu people, but it has countless means to cut off their food. The gangs talk about the words "money" and "food". The knife club except the street merchants
In addition to the "fees" paid, there are only a few small and medium-sized properties. The total of these two inputs is only six to seven thousand taels of silver. After deducting the filial piety given to the Liu family, the remaining amount is divided equally.
The two hundred or so brothers in the gang each have less than ten taels each. Not to mention the money to settle down, it is not enough to burn and bury them, so they can barely make ends meet.
The reason why Han Dao'er promised a large sum of money to invite Shou Gulang and Ou Lu to help him with his fists was firstly because it was important to save his life, and secondly because he thought that he could find compensation from Hu Wenlie and others after a successful counterattack. Unfortunately, it backfired.
After the conflict that was almost a farce, no one on either side was at peace in the end. In the past two days, in order to send away the skinny wolf, who was more difficult to deal with than Oulu's double swords, he, the leader of the Han gang, had almost pawned his pants, and now in this moment and a half
Yes, where do you want him to go to collect a few thousand taels of cash to settle the bill with the Qu family brothers and sisters?
"You found the person yourself. I don't care what method you use, just get them out of here! Otherwise -" Seeing Han Daoer's embarrassed face, Liu Tongqing didn't care and just scolded him again.
Before he finished speaking, he frowned and looked sideways at the street corner. He saw a dozen official officials hurriedly turning out of the street corner. The leader was Gongsun Feihong in casual clothes.
Liu Tongqing was not surprised by Gongsun Feihong's arrival. Because of the snowstorm in front of him, the government's manpower was already stretched thin. Moreover, Gongsun Feihong was a military scout who "supervised the affairs of the world" for the imperial court. Meng Hongwen sent him here.
It can be considered as using his strengths, but Gongsun Feihong's dress made Liu Tongqing intuitively feel that something was fishy.
If Gongsun Feihong is really here to resolve today's conflict between gangs and gangs, wouldn't it be more effective to wear the Suan Ni robe given by the emperor? No matter how Wusiying loses power in the court now, there is still a lot of prestige accumulated in the past two hundred years.
.
Tian Zhitang also had the same doubts as Liu Tongqing, but their identities were very different, and the other party was here on an errand. He couldn't go near to ask, so he just clasped his fists and silently retreated to the street, thinking of finding an opportunity to talk to him later.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Feihong was greeting him and Liu Tongqing, who took the initiative to dismount and approach. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd of the boat gang at the other end. It seemed that someone was making a loud noise. Although the three people at this end of the street did not know what was going on,
What happened to Bian, but his expression changed almost at the same time.
"Not good!" The three people quickly changed their eyes and jumped up one after another, trying to see what was going on from a high place. However, the street in front of Xiaodaohui's door was not very spacious, and the hundreds of people from the Louchuan Gang densely blocked half of the street.
, even if the three of them were both smart and condescending, they could not tell for a moment who was making the instigation among the crowd. They could only watch helplessly as the commotion spread quickly, eventually engulfing all Louchuan Gang members like a tidal wave.
Xiang Xiaodaohui!
"Go back!"
"Close the door!"
When Liu Tongqing and Gongsun Feihong saw this, they both shouted loudly, and ordered Han Daoer to immediately lead his men through the door to escape.
The two men, who both came from the army, were far more aware of the horror of the situation in front of them than ordinary people. The crowd in the chaos had no sense at all, and would fall into madness with just the slightest provocation. The army with strict laws was afraid of bombing the camp.
, let alone these undisciplined Jianghu gangs? Just the chaos of the Louchuan Gang is enough to make the situation completely out of control. If the Xiaodao Society is also forced to get involved, the consequences will be unimaginable.
What is frustrating is that compared with Liu Tongqing and Gongsun Feihong, Han Daoer was not only slow to react, but also lacked knowledge. He did not follow the instructions at the first time. Instead, he habitually made gestures and called his brothers to prepare for the attack.
posture.
Liu Tongqing suddenly became furious. Before he could even curse, the Lou Chuan Gang and Xiao Dao Gui were in close combat. Dozens of lives were lost in this first round of collision.
"Damn it!" Liu Tongqing's face was ashen. Although the incident was not caused by him, Xiao Dao Hui was the dog that his Liu family had raised for many years. No matter how today's chaos would end, it would be difficult for the Liu family as dog owners.
Escape from the relationship.
"Master Liu has not come today." Hearing Liu Tongqing's curse, Gongsun Feihong, who was also helpless, whispered.
"Captain Gongsun, what are you—" Liu Tongqing couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to help the Liu family clear their relationship.
"Meng——" Gongsun Feihong was about to say something when he suddenly saw a figure stabbing the crowd below from the rooftop opposite like lightning.
It’s Tian Zhitang!
"Is he crazy?" This question popped up in Gongsun Feihong and Liu Tongqing's minds at the same time. Both of them have military backgrounds and are martial arts practitioners. Naturally, they know that what masters fear most is melee.
Experts are also human, and humans have their limits. No one can really see and hear all directions, and respond to all threats and emergencies around him in a timely manner, but Tian Zhitang is still under the astonished and incomprehensible gazes of Gongsun Feihong and Liu Tongqing.
He rushed into the crowd below without any intention of drawing his sword. He only used his fists, feet and scabbard to separate and fight the two sides!
"What a terrifying skill!" After watching for a moment, Liu Tongqing couldn't help but exclaimed. When he heard about the fight between Tian Zhitang and Yue Zhifeng a few days ago, Liu Tongqing didn't take it seriously. After all, Yue Zhifeng just waved a knife casually that night. Today he saw Tian Zhitang with his own eyes.
After showing off his skills, he realized that he had underestimated the manager of Wutongyuan.
It turns out that this person not only has weird swordsmanship, but also has weird boxing and kicking skills. When he strikes, his body seems to be stretched as full as a bow, as if he is a young kid who has just started and doesn't know the taboo of "stretching his body to the fullest". But if he
A closer look reveals that he has always lowered his head, shoulders, chest and back, and understands the essence of "round shape and strong strength". The most rare thing is that he can multi-task, attacking and defending with both hands, but his style is completely different.
It is also able to anticipate the enemy's enemy in every aspect, not only making it difficult for those it attacks to defeat, but also making it difficult for those it controls to advance. Even if it is walking alone through the melee crowd, it is still calm and easy, and almost every time it takes action, it can be in the crowd.
A crack was opened, and the two sides who had been fighting for a long time were quickly separated!
"Stop it!"
With a loud shout from Tian Zhitang's mouth, the crowd that was originally screaming for murder suddenly became as silent as cicadas, just like the tiger roaring in the forest and all the beasts in silence.
Seeing that he had calmed down the situation, Tian Zhitang ignored everyone's frightened looks and walked towards the Lou Chuan Gang. The crowd was divided into two parts wherever he passed. No one knew what he meant?
"Come out yourself, and I may spare your life!" Tian Zhitang shouted again when he came to a stand in the middle of the crowd.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, becoming more and more confused about what it meant.
After a short period of deathly silence, many low shouts suddenly rang out from the crowd. When the others quickly stepped aside to make way for the shouts, they saw a dozen unharmed dead people lying on the ground.
"Steward Tian, wait a minute!" Seeing that Tian Zhitang was about to step forward to check, Gongsun Feihong hurriedly called out. As he spoke, he jumped down from the roof and went to a corpse to examine it carefully for a moment. He then took out a wooden box from his arms and pulled it out.
The golden needle was tried on the corpse again and again, and then he stood up and turned to Tian Zhitang.
"Thank you so much, General, for reminding me. But I don't know if you can get anything out of it?" Tian Zhitang clasped his fists in thanks and asked.
"Gongsun is blind. Come here! Take these corpses back and examine them carefully!" Gongsun Feihong shook his head helplessly, then turned and shouted to the officials who had been hiding at the street corner since the call. In terms of his ability to examine the bones of corpses,
Although the Wuying reconnaissance cavalry are also experts, they are ultimately inferior to those yamen gangsters who specialize in this field.
After dealing with the dozens of suspicious corpses, Gongsun Feihong raised his eyes and glanced at the remaining members of the Louzhou Gang without saying anything. The latter, who had a guilty conscience, immediately dispersed and lost any of their arrogance. Now that things have come to this.
In one step, even if the Lou Chuan Gang is full of fools, they can still see that they have been plotted this time and had someone bury more than a dozen nails in the gang. What worries them even more is, are these nails really the only ones in the Lou Chuan Gang?
?
I'm afraid that may not happen.
As everyone in the Louchuan Gang quickly dispersed, today's incident caused by Chang Sunji's sudden death was finally settled. Although there was a big chaos during the period, fortunately Arita Zhitang took action and finally the situation did not get completely out of control. Shuangshuang and Liu Tongqing
After saying goodbye, Tian Zhitang and Gongsun Feihong left separately, and after returning to Beicheng, they found each other with a tacit understanding.
"Brother Tian really noticed it." As soon as the two met, Gongsun Feihong said with a smile, calling "Brother" very affectionately.
"If what I predict below is correct, the culprit should be Nie Yurou, the twin sister of 'Jade Scorpion'." Tian Zhitang ignored the other party's proactive approach and just got straight to the point.
Different from the rumors, Nie Yurou, the sister of Nie Yuying, the "Jade Scorpion" of Qishan Academy, does not practice poisonous skills, but a mysterious and evil magic that confuses people. Such heresy is not uncommon in the world, but due to many restrictions
, often only effective for those with weak minds, and need to be assisted by drugs, illusions and other means, but they are not as magical as the world spreads. Having said that, practicing such magic is still a big taboo in the world, let alone
A well-known and decent family, even if many people in the evil way also hate it, after all, no one can guarantee that they will never capsize in the gutter, and few people in this world are willing to become other people's puppets.
Since Nie Yurou almost never appears in front of people, the public's understanding of her is always better than nothing, so it is inevitable that there will be rumors. But this kind of thing is only a small problem for Wuying. As early as a long time ago, Wuying's reconnaissance cavalry began
All the famous people in the world kept records and kept them as a rule. It is said that the most difficult place to enter in Wusiying was never the festival hall of the chief officials, but the "Baiwen Pavilion" where these files were stored.
Since the Fourth Battalion of Wu lost power, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have frequently fought and filed lawsuits in court in order to gain control of the Baiwen Pavilion. However, due to the attitudes of the Ministry of War and the Inner Governor's Office, they often left the matter undisturbed.
