Li Long was slightly startled, and quickly found the information about this middle-aged man in his mind. He ignored the waiter at the moment, returned to the table and sat down, saying: "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Brother Chu.
I haven’t seen you for a while, so come over and have a drink.”
Chu Muzu walked in and sat down face to face with Li Long. The two teenagers beside him also pulled up chairs on the left and right and sat down. One of them stared at Li Long fiercely, and the other looked around alertly.
, paying attention to the actions of the Li family's thugs.
"Brother Chu, how have you been these years?" Li Long poured a glass of wine and pushed it in front of Chu Mu's leg and asked.
"Thanks to your old Li family, their life is very miserable. They drink and play for money, and their family is completely destitute. You don't know this, right?"
"Oh, just because of this, you killed the third child?"
"Fifteen years ago, you brothers broke one of my legs and took away my hard-earned money, which made my wife unable to even have a sip of chicken soup during confinement and made me live in a coward for more than ten years.
It makes my baby unable to hold his head up and lead a good life, shouldn't your brothers die?"
"Hmph, this is how the world is. The strong eat meat and the weak drink soup. For a weak person like you, you can't even keep up with the hot food by eating shit. How come you still want to kill me because of four or five of you? You think too much of me, Li Long.
It’s too low!”
The two of them spoke sharply, but they were as stable as a rock on the table. The three thugs of the Li family held knives and stared at each other. The shopkeeper was hiding behind the counter and shivering. The waiter was sitting on the counter with his arms folded and sneered at everything. The hardwood
The table legs were placed beside me.
The door was suddenly knocked open, and two thugs ran in and said: "Uncle, we found out. That group of people came from the north. They asked about the third master's details in the inn."
After the thug finished speaking, he froze. The atmosphere in the tavern was too weird. There was a body of one of his own lying at the door, but the uncle was sitting drinking with three people who looked bad looking, while the waiter who was supposed to be serving the customers was
Sitting arrogantly on the counter watching all this.
Li Long smiled gloomily and said: "A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. Brother Chu is indeed a man. It's just a pity that these two young men are your nephews. They will follow you before they get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen."
You are dead."
Chu Jian slammed the table and shouted: "It's not certain who will die with the surname Li!"
"How courageous. Your father was once as awesome as you, but he still gave in under the knife of our brothers. He said that he was let go for the sake of his unborn child. Why did my heart soften at that time?
I cut off one of his legs and ended up raising a boy like you. You want to help your father collect debts, right? Well, Uncle Li will accompany you."
Chu Jian was about to draw his sword, but Li Long raised his hand: "Hold on, the store is small and we can't use it. Why don't we go outside."
"That's fine, I'll save you from damaging the things in the store. We'll have to pay for it later. Haha, of course you, Mr. Li, don't have to pay for it, because a dead person can't pay for it." Yuan Feng, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
"What a sharp-tongued boy, I will remember you." Li Long stood up and walked towards the door. Several thugs carefully protected him, fearing that the three people at the table would suddenly be in trouble.
After Li Long and others went out, Chu Muqi stood up. Yuan Feng hugged the waiter who was sitting on the counter and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing the business."
The waiter in the store also cupped his fists and returned the gift: "That's easy to say."
When the three of them came out, they saw Li Long standing in the street, with nine thugs lined up behind him. The noisy street was deserted, and everyone was hiding in the shops on the roadside watching this scene.
No one spoke, only the wind blew.
Chu Muzui led Chu Jian and Yuan Feng and stood twenty steps apart from Li Long. Chu Muzui said calmly: "Li Long, do it."
"Don't panic, everyone hasn't arrived yet." Li Long said with a ferocious smile, and waved his hand behind him: "Signal!"
With a whistle, fifty or sixty people sprang out from the shops on both sides and surrounded Yuan Feng and others. All of them were holding steel knives and had ferocious faces. Among them were more than twenty officers patrolling the merchant yamen, wearing red and black hats.
Holding the iron ruler, the squad leader shouted: "Don't let the murderer who killed the third master go."
Li Long said: "Chu Muzu, you are still as stupid as you were fifteen years ago. Am I, Li Long, so easy to deal with? Tell the other two of you to come out too. They will all die anyway, and there is no point in hiding."
Chu Muzu looked at Yuan Feng. Yuan Feng remained calm and whistled softly. Zhang Tietou and Ye Kai slid down from the tree next to them, holding bows and arrows in their hands and standing with them.
"Chu Muzu and Chu Muzu, you only brought four children and you dared to touch our Li family. You really overestimate your capabilities. I will never give you a chance this time. You and your son will be punished later."
Slaughter them all, and then go to your house to root them out and kill all the family members of these dolls to see who dares to go against my Li family in the future."
"Do it!" Li Long shouted violently, and two groups of people pressed up from both ends of the road like dark clouds. They were about to drown the five people. Suddenly, there was a roar, and the gate of Hekou Town in the distance collapsed.
Everyone looked back and saw the dust and smoke dissipating, and a group of cavalry appeared in people's sight.
The road in Hekou Town is not very wide, and only five horses can ride abreast. The cavalry poured into the city and crowded the city gate. I don’t know how many were outside the city but did not come in. The knights in the front row were all equipped with leather armor.
, holding a spear majestically, his face covered with black cloth, his face could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were shining with cold light.
The scene seemed to be frozen, no one moved or spoke, and the whole street was silent, with only the occasional sound of horses neighing and doors slamming shut.
"Today's matter is a personal grudge between me, Chu Muzu and Li Long, and everyone else should avoid it," Chu Muzu said.
There was a crash, and the guards put away the iron rulers and chains first. The head of the class said with a frustrated face: "Uncle, I still have business to do, so I'll leave first." After that, he left with thirty guards in dejection.
After a few jingles, more than twenty steel knives were thrown on the ground. Some of the helpers raised their hands and left the scene, saying as they walked: "It's none of my business, I just came to watch the fun."
After a while, there were only nine hard-core thugs left around Li Long. These people were all close associates who had followed Li Long all year round. They had fought hundreds of battles, large and small, but in the past, most of them were encounters, or
It was to ambush others. This was the first time for me to be ambushed by others with a huge disparity in strength, so many people's legs and feet were a little weak.
"Uncle, you go first, we are here to support you." A thug pushed Li Long hard and charged at the group of cavalry with a knife. Li Long gritted his teeth, kicked open the nearby shop and rushed in.
Yuan Feng and others gave chase. At the same time, the cavalry led by Zhao Ding'an began to attack. Those in front were all Baoding who had experienced actual combat. They pushed forward with their spears leveled, and there was an iron wall, holding long knives.
The thugs were unable to fight back under the pressure of cavalry and lances, and could only be massacred.
Li Long was vicious and cunning. When encountering such a situation, his first reaction was to run away. The faster he ran, the better, and the further away, the better. As long as he kept the green hills, he was not afraid of running out of firewood. The geographical location of Hekou Town was very convenient for him.
I am familiar with it. Shops along the street usually have back doors. You can escape through the back door, and then there is a drainage channel to the dock. Climb out from there, and then find a way to find a horse to return to Lanzhou. It will not be too late to gather people and take revenge.
What he couldn't figure out was where did Chu Mujie find so many helpers? When did such a force appear in the northwest underworld and spread to such a big extent without knowing it? It seems that this matter must be
It has been planned for a long time.
Li Long ran very fast and reached the back door in a few steps. He opened the door and was about to go out when he saw only a huge fist in front of him...
When Yuan Feng and others rushed in, Li Long had already fainted. Chu Jian and Ye Kai dragged him outside like a dead dog. At this time, the streets were filled with blood, and the Li family's thugs were still resisting.
They were all picked to death, and their bodies were piled aside to make room for Li Long.
A ladle of cold water was poured on him, and Li Long woke up from his coma. At this time, the head shopkeeper of the Li family was in a miserable state. His eyes were black and blue, his mouth was bleeding, and his body was covered with dust and mud. When he opened his eyes, he saw blood all over the floor.
, I wanted to move, but I stepped on my body with two feet, unable to move at all.
"Brother Chu, what happened back then was our fault. Please spare my life for the sake of my mother and young son. I will never pursue the matter of the third child again. In addition, I will give you ten thousand taels, oh.
No, I will give you five, eight, or one hundred thousand taels of silver, please give me a way to survive."
Chu Muzu's face came up and said, "Li Long, do you believe these words? Just now you were clamoring to destroy my family and kill all the families of these children. Why are you giving up now? Where is your prestige?
Already?"
Li Long lowered his head and said nothing for a long time: "From the day I came out to work, I knew there would be such an ending, but I never expected that it would be in your hands. Brother Wooden Legs, I accepted it, and I don't blame anyone.
From now on, don’t follow my example and be ruthless in everything you do so as not to leave any trouble in the future.”
Chu Muzui said: "Okay, he is a man, much stronger than your third child, so I'll give you a good one."
Li Long was held up by two people. Chu Jian was wiping the steel knife on the side. Chu Muzu shouted to the closed shops on both sides: "Today I, Chu Muzu, and the Li family are settling old accounts and disturbing everyone's business. I
I apologize to you all."
Behind the closed door, the merchants were trembling. There were many group fights, but it was rare to see people using cavalry spears to kill corpses everywhere. The day before yesterday, it was Li Lao San, and today it was Li Lao Da. It seemed that
The Li family is coming to an end.
Chu Jian polished the steel knife and asked Yuan Feng: "Jiulang, how do you do it?"
Yuan Feng said: "Leave the whole body intact so that his family can save the time to take care of it."
Chu Jian nodded, glanced at Li Long's back, and stabbed the knife in, hitting the heart right in the heart. Li Long's body shook for a moment, then he went limp. He stretched out his legs and died.
Chu Jian pulled out the knife, wiped it on the body, and said to his father: "Dad, the man has been killed."
Chu Mu was silent and suddenly knelt down to Yuan Feng: "Brother Feng, thank you..."
Before his knees touched the ground, he was supported by Yuan Feng: "Uncle Chu, you're welcome. I am a brother who worships the alliance. Your family's hatred is my hatred. This is nothing. I will rely on you in the future.
You always help us manage the salt business."
Chu Muzuo nodded heavily, pulled Chu Jian over and said, "Follow Brother Feng and work hard from now on. You must risk your life to repay others. Do you understand?"
Chu Jian said: "Dad, don't worry, my child will do well."
Now that the matter was done, Zhao Ding'an shouted towards the Yamen: "Send someone out to clean the floor!" Then the group mounted their horses and left. When passing by Tongrenju Tavern, Yuan Fengchong handed over to the waiter who was clearing away the tables and chairs inside.
: "Thank you."
The waiter shrugged his shoulders, didn't answer, and went back to his work.
It took a long time for the police to appear on the street, collecting the bodies and cleaning up the scene. While they were cleaning up, a horse galloped in. The knight shouted from the horse: "Master, there is something urgent at home!"
The class leader pointed to the ground, "Your uncle is lying here."
