Chapter 126 I almost got dumped (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)
"Brother Wu is here!"
At Senior Brother Li's house in Li Zhuang, Senior Brother Li was very happy to see Wu Dong coming. He strode over and grabbed his arm. He pointed at a strong man who followed him and introduced him: "Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to him."
Look, this is Senior Brother Wang..."
"I've met Senior Brother Wang!"
Wu Dong politely handed over his hand, with a warm smile on his face.
"Brother Wu is so famous that I can hear about it hundreds of miles away!"
Senior Brother Wang laughed loudly and said boldly: "Come on, come on in, let's have a drink, we must have a great time today!"
As he spoke, he grabbed Wu Dong's other arm and pulled Wu Dong into the room with Senior Brother Li.
Wu Dong was speechless, and he didn't know why these guys were so addicted to alcohol?
However, since he agreed to be his companion, he couldn't say much.
There is a large wooden table in the main room. At this time, wine and food are all set on the wooden table, and a strong aroma of vegetables hits your face. Fortunately, the thing served with wine is not a big bowl, otherwise it would be really overwhelming.
The guests and hosts were seated separately. Along with Wu Dong, there were two other core boxers accompanying him, both of whom were close brothers of Senior Brother Li.
"Come on, let's toast to Senior Brother Wang first!"
Senior Brother Li was the first to speak, holding up his wine glass and loudly saying: "Senior Brother Wang did a great thing not long ago. He led the Boxers to burn down their foreign church!"
"This tone is so refreshing!"
"Let's just respect Senior Brother Wang for his generosity and let's do it!"
Wu Dong and the two other guests naturally followed up with glasses and toasts, and they also said a few words of praise. The atmosphere was extremely warm.
In his heart, Wu Dong couldn't help but curl his lips.
Damn, you really have no sense of confidentiality at all. Can you just shout about such a thing casually?
Regardless of the fact that the local government has closed the lid, there is no need for Senior Brother Wang to run away if he does not want to cause trouble to the culprit.
If he hadn't known about Senior Brother Li's character, Wu Dong would have suspected that this guy was trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
What made him even more speechless was that Senior Brother Wang's face was flushed, as if he had really done something big, and he laughed loudly and stood up and drank the wine in one gulp.
Putting down the wine glass, he twitched his lips as if he couldn't help but show off, and proudly recounted what happened a hundred miles away.
The matter is actually very simple. A certain gangster who defected to a foreign church dared to bully Senior Brother Wang's relatives. This is intolerable.
In his anger, Senior Brother Wang did not immediately lead his men to attack the foreign church, and did not even teach the arrogant gangster a lesson.
Instead, he spread messages privately, saying that foreign churches secretly took in babies, ripped out their hearts and ate their flesh, which immediately caused an uproar.
What happened after that was a matter of course...
Fortunately, Senior Brother Wang was not confused yet. He knew that if he really killed the foreigners, he would probably fall in. So he took advantage of the time when the foreigners left the church and rushed in with others.
Not only did they rob him violently, but he also beat the gangster to a point of disability, and finally set a fire on the corpse to destroy any traces of it.
To say that he was quite lucky, the local officials saw that the situation was still under control and suppressed the matter directly.
The reason why he showed up at Senior Brother Li's house was to avoid the limelight just in case.
I don’t know what the others are thinking, but Wu Dong’s heart is like 10,000 grass and mud horses, and he feels full of absurdity.
I don't know if there is any exaggeration in what Senior Brother Wang said, but in short, what this guy did was really clever and manly.
He has a plan, is determined, and has enough execution ability. He is a good candidate for rebellion.
If he could survive until the Gengzi Incident, even if he couldn't get the position of senior brother in the general circle, he would at least be the senior senior brother in the same place.
"Senior Brother Wang is amazing!"
"Senior Brother Wang is very clever, we must learn from him in the future!"
"Senior Brother Wang must stay here for a few more days, and brother must treat him well!"
As a result, the other three were full of excitement, and their faces were all flushed, as if they were responsible for burning down the foreign church, and they were very happy.
In desperation, Wu Dong had no choice but to echo vaguely, making Senior Brother Wang feel very proud.
"Hahaha, after this experience, if I encounter something like this again in the future, I won't give any face to foreigners!"
Senior Brother Wang drank one glass after another, and said boldly with a big mouth: "This is our territory, where can it be the turn of foreigners to be arrogant and domineering?"
Senior Brother Li and others praised him again, and I don't blame them for that.
In this era, those who dare to attack foreigners are out-and-out ruthless characters, heroes in the world of martial arts.
Even Wu Dong had to admire him, he had seen too many weaklings.
If Senior Brother Wang is allowed to go to Nanyang, he may really be able to make a career and become a powerful force.
Just when everyone was drunk and the atmosphere was extremely lively, Wu Dong's younger brother suddenly broke into the main room.
No one stopped or notified him. I don't know if Senior Brother Li's defense here is too lax or if he just has no rules.
This guy, who was carrying a linen bundle behind him, quickly walked up to Wu Dong, lowered his head and whispered something in his ear.
Seeing this scene, the originally lively atmosphere in the hall fell silent. Everyone, including Senior Brother Wang, looked over.
Snapped!
Wu Dong held the wine glass in his hand and slammed it down on the table, making a dull sound.
Without waiting for the people around him to ask, he pushed Fu Er's brother away and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, there are officers and soldiers surrounding Li Zhuang!"
"What, this is impossible!"
"How come? When did the officers and soldiers come?"
"Did you see it wrong? Why is there no movement at all outside?"
"..."
Senior Brother Li and others were immediately shocked, especially Senior Brother Wang. His eyes instantly turned red, and he looked at Senior Brother Li with a very unkind look.
"Whether it's true or not, let's go out quietly and have a look to find out!"
Wu Dong didn't explain much, stretched out his hand and made a silent gesture, and then motioned to the messenger boy to lead the way, and his tall body followed him quietly.
He had no doubt at all about this younger brother's report.
This guy was from the Black Flag Army and had fought against the French in Annan. He was an elite member of the army.
He was dismissed by the imperial court before and joined the Foshan Militia, where he received martial arts and cultural training.
After Wu Dong left the militia, he followed him to Khmer farming, and also participated in escorting ships at sea. He was extremely knowledgeable and well-informed.
He also has a rare ability to grab quickly, and he can hit almost every shot within the range. He is a rare sharpshooter.
Coupled with his excellent martial arts skills, his overall strength is absolutely formidable. He is a special talent of this era.
Otherwise, Wu Dong would not have brought this guy to Lu Di. If he had no real ability, how could he have such an opportunity?
Since he said that there were officers and soldiers surrounding Lizhuang, it was almost true.
Why didn't Lizhuang send out any alarm? It was probably due to negligence. No one expected that there would be officers and soldiers sneaking up to carry out a sneak attack.
Seeing Wu Dong's cautious appearance, Senior Brother Wang, who was originally angry and wanted to lift the table to vent his anger, suddenly stopped having such reckless thoughts.
Ignoring Senior Brother Li's expression, they rushed to the weapon rack at the door, took off their machetes, and followed with unsteady steps.
I drank too much. Even though I was scared a lot and excreted it with cold sweat, my mind was still a little confused.
"Let's go, let's follow!"
Senior Brother Li was flustered for a moment, his mind went blank and he didn't know what to do.
Seeing what Wu Dong and Senior Brother Wang were doing, they subconsciously followed suit.
idiot!
Wu Dong, who was walking in front, almost cursed. He turned around and pointed at the boxers close to Senior Brother Li, then pointed at the entire Li Village, and whispered angrily: "Inform the people in the village!"
Senior Brother Li suddenly understood, slapped his forehead and hurriedly pushed his confidant out.
Wu Dong ignored Senior Brother Li's reaction. He followed his confidant out of Senior Brother Li's house, and then in a few steps he rushed up to the crown of a big tree nearby.
Looking into the distance, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Outside Zhuangzi, I saw that a group of officers and soldiers had appeared at some point, and they were rushing towards Lizhuang with great momentum. They looked like they numbered no less than three or four hundred people.
Most of them were armed with swords and guns, and there were also a small number of crossbows and shotguns, a full formal "official army" posture.
"Damn it, where did all these officers and soldiers come from?"
Next to him, Senior Brother Wang, who smelled strongly of alcohol, didn't know how he climbed to the top of the tree. When he saw the group of officers and soldiers outside Zhuangzi, his expression suddenly changed.
"Senior Brother Wang, let's get out of here quickly before the officers and soldiers come to kill us!"
Wu Dong frowned slightly, feeling that there was something wrong with the guy next to him. Making a loud noise at this time would only attract people, so it would be better to run away quietly.
"Yes, yes, Brother Wu reminded me!"
Senior Brother Wang reacted suddenly, ignored Wu Dong's dumbfounded gaze, and jumped directly from the tree crown that was almost five meters high. He just staggered to stabilize his body, and then ran in the other direction of Zhuangzi without looking back.
"Let's leave quickly, this is not a place to stay for a long time!"
Wu Dong slipped down from the tree crown, greeted the two accompanying boys who had gathered over, and walked quickly in the other direction.
Even if the target of the officers and soldiers this time is not the three of them, they will not let them go even if they have a revolver and two quick grabs on them.
That's right, Wu Dong carried a revolver with him. This was a habit he had formed over a long time. Having this revolver would definitely help him protect himself when in danger.
If we weren't besieged by a large group of people and had a revolver and two quick grabs, we would have dared to break into a den of bandits and bandits.
What he was afraid of was encountering the current situation. Wu Dong was somewhat thankful that he was cautious, otherwise if the officers and soldiers blocked Senior Brother Li's house, it would not be easy to break out of the encirclement.
Do you really think that the shotguns and crossbows in the hands of the officers and soldiers are just decorations?
Right now, it's better to escape as soon as possible.
As for why the running direction is different from that of Senior Brother Wang, that is a subconscious reaction and choice...
