Chapter 144 Face is more important than life

The first moment Chen Wei was led by Zhou Shu to Ma Jing's guest room, Ma Jing had already stood up and greeted him.

Chen Wei was still slow and bowed his hands and said calmly: "Chen Wei has met the young master."

Ma Jing immediately stretched out his arm, helped Chen Weixu, and said sincerely: "Brother Chen is polite. Why should we meet so cumbersomely between you and me?"

Chen Wei was originally a person who was not polite, so he smiled calmly when he heard this and put away his arms he had picked up.

Although Ma Jing was anxious, his expression could at least be suppressed. He pulled Chen Wei to sit next to the round table. There was already a maid here preparing fruits, snacks and tea. After Ma Jing and Chen Wei both sat down, Zhou Shu had already walked out of the door and gently knocked the door on.

Today, Ma Mansion and even Xicheng are in trouble. Zhou Shu is the confidant of Ma Jing's mansion, so he is naturally busy now.

Ma Jing personally filled a cup of new tea for Chen Wei. The two of them savored this cup of tea while chatting and laughing. The atmosphere in the house was harmonious and warm and peaceful.

After half a cup of tea, Ma Jing asked intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that Brother Chen had a conflict with someone on the street today?"

Chen Wei nodded and said with a smile: "There is no big deal for you if you are tired of me."

Ma Jing smiled and looked at Chen Wei and said sincerely: "Brother Chen, since you call me a young master now, I will just say anything. In this Luoyun City, no matter who Brother Chen offended, as long as it is the one that my Ma family can say, I, Ma Jing, will not sit idly by. I, Ma Jing, can't do anything, so I go to my father. What's the difficulty? Brother Chen may as well speak out."

Chen Wei picked up the teacup and took a sip of Qingming, and said lightly: "Is this a big deal or a small deal? When I went out to play today, I encountered a few rascals on the street and did something wrong. I didn't take these little messes to heart, but after hearing what they said, I had a little idea."

Ma Jing's heart moved and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"

Chen Wei put down the teacup and said slowly: "It's not a big deal. Those rascals seem to be because they are short of money recently. They plan to tie a lady from a wealthy family to make meat tickets. However, they are afraid of the forces behind the people who dare not take action. I vaguely heard someone comfort him, saying that Han Da's family will enter the city soon. Not to mention that the underground world in Luoyun City is under our control, even these merchants, gentry or officials of all sizes will give us some thin faces. But by that time, we have a number one figure. If you want to do something about walking at night and getting a side door, it is not suitable. If you want to do it, it's better to do it now."

Hearing the four words "Han Dazhu", Ma Jiong's eyelids jumped slightly. The leader of the two thousand bandits in Niutou Mountain was named Han, called Han Li, and was an evil monk who did everything he did. He was nicknamed "Murderer" in the world. He had a pair of iron fists to break gold and split stones. He was able to practice his skills. He had a hard bridge and a hard horse. He fought a way out several times during the encirclement of Luoyun City's official army. It is said that in the recent encirclement of officers and soldiers, Han Li led several confidants to a desperate situation, but the encirclement of more than 500 people was killed by Han Li alone. Especially in the end, Han Li, who was red-eyed, relied on the power of his arms to tear a small leader of the patrol battalion and the armor on his body, and the blood and internal organs were mixed together and flying all over the sky.

During that battle, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion were killed by Han Li, and Han Li's peerless reputation became even stronger, which was quite effective in Luoyun City to stop children from crying at night.

When Ma Jing came to his senses from his memories of Han Li, Chen Wei had already begun to tell.

"At that time, I wanted to catch those ruffians and ask clearly, but after thinking about it, the ruffians might not know the core news. I did not do it at that time, but instead, they were surrounded by those ruffians. They walked around the street for an afternoon, had a drink in the restaurant before they left home. After thinking about it for a while, they put on the ruffian who had advised others before."

Speaking of this, Chen Wei paused, and a cold murderous intent quietly appeared in his eyes: "This Qingpi did not go home, but went to the courtyard of the Tian family."

Ma Jing was slightly stunned: "Tian family? Which Tian family?"

Chen Wei replied: "The Tian family, Tian Hu, is idle all day long. They also have more than a dozen thugs under their command, but they are all rascals and cannot make a big difference."

Ma Jing nodded, frowned and began to think about the news about the Tian family in his mind. However, the Ma family has always been a big family and is the dominant one in the West City. Small groups like the Tian family have more than a hundred people in the entire West City. These small groups are difficult to become a big climate, and they rely on the Ma family on weekdays. So after Ma Jing passed a long circle in his mind, he seemed to vaguely remember the number one figure like Tian Hu, but he could never remember the others again.

Chen Wei paused and continued, "I originally wanted to lie next to the Tian family to find out more news, but after the green-skinned leader walked into the courtyard wall, I heard a loud shout: 'You don't know if you come in with your tail!' Then an old man in green waved his palm straight out. The old man had deep internal strength. I broke it with him for five or six rounds, and it was indeed not his opponent, but I was about to withdraw, and seven or eight good knives rushed out in the yard. Seeing that the situation was not good, I forced everyone to retreat with a flying knife to rush out, but those people still chased me and had no choice but to kill me. After cutting off one person's head, the momentum of those people stopped and thrust me a little before I could rush out."

Finally finished all the news, Chen Wei let out a long sigh, his face not looking very good, it should not be a knife wound on the abdomen, but an internal injury.

Ma Jing frowned and asked in a low voice: "Brother Chen, can you describe the appearance of the old man in blue?"

Chen Wei frowned and thought for a while before saying: "I am a little short and fat, about less than five feet tall, with a fierce face, no beard under my chin, triangular eyes, bronze skin, and thick palm strength. It is obvious that I have been polished from my childhood!"

Ma Jing's brows were loosened, but the gloomy face became louder and louder. He let out a long sigh and said slowly: "I heard from Brother Chen that you said, it is definitely a person from Niutou Mountain. The old man in green you are talking about should be Xun Kun, the 'Huanyuan Palm' under Han Li. This person has followed Han Li for many years and killed countless people in battles. He has established a reputation with one hand. Now he is at the peak of the ninth grade. And it is not an exaggeration to say that he has entered the Vajra Realm with one foot. Brother Chen, you are known for your light skills and flying swords. You can use your palm power to dismantle five or six hands with Xun Kun. Brother Chen, you are not simple."

Chen Wei picked up the hot tea and took a sip: "What's that simple? I was beaten by that... Xun Kun, and I can do my best to support it after just five or six moves. If I had to give one or two more moves, I would probably have to stay there."

Ma Jing picked up the teacup and played with it unconsciously, and said slowly: "It seems that the previous news has been confirmed. Niutou Mountain is not a small fuss this time. They really want to develop towards Luoyun City. It seems that the underground world of Luoyun City is likely to change."

Chen Wei frowned and asked softly: "Young Master, I just heard you say that the patrol camp has cleared Niutou Mountain once or twice. Han Li even killed a lot of police officers and soldiers of the patrol camp. Logically speaking, the Luo Yuncheng official family could not tolerate the Niutou Mountain bandits entering the city."

"This dog-dance politics is definitely much dirty than you think, and more shameless than you think. In order to climb up an inch, they are willing to kill a foot or even a foot of corpses and kill a few soldiers in the patrol battalions. What's the point of killing a few soldiers in the patrol battalions? They can eat more vacant amounts every year." Ma Jing sneered, his face full of indignation. After saying this, he leaned against Chen Wei and said in a low voice, "Brother Chen said that in the past few patrol battalions went up the mountain to suppress bandits, my Ma family put a lot of effort into asking people to give them money, which led to those bandit suppressions. In this way, my Ma family still owed a few favors from Lord Yi."

Chen Wei frowned in confusion and asked slowly: "Young Master, I have something I have never understood. The Ma family is the leader in Luoyun City, and Niutou Mountain is a powerful man outside Luoyun City. Both sides are not small in strength. Logically speaking, it should be that the well water does not interfere with the river. Why are the Ma family and Niutou Mountain now making such a desperate appearance?"

Ma Jiong smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "There is nothing to say. Many people in Luoyun City know that three or four years ago, our Ma family did not violate the rivers of Niutou Mountain. However, more than three years ago, our Ma family's goods were robbed, and the man killed three direct descendants of our Ma family. Of course, the group of people who had eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard were still found by us. Unfortunately, the group of people finally ran to Niutou Mountain. When our Ma family went to Niutou Mountain to ask for people, they had a good negotiation, but when they went down the mountain, they were attacked by those people, four or five people died, and two people were injured by the Niutou Mountain. In this way, the beams of our Ma family and Niutou Mountain will be completely formed."

Chen Wei was a little dumbfounded. After hearing Ma Jiong's words, he was a little overwhelmed. After a while, he murmured to himself: "Just for... just for such a small matter, the dignified Ma family and Niutou Mountain have a big fight?"

Ma Jing shook his head and smiled, then said seriously: "It's not just a small matter, but also face. The most important thing is face. When you arrive in the situation of Ma's family and Niutou Mountain, sometimes face is more important than life."

Chen Wei shook his head incredibly, obviously he couldn't understand Ma Jing's statement.
