"Okay, this little brother is not only an expert in throwing knives, but his magnanimity, broadmindedness, and understanding of martial arts are also extremely admirable. I, Wu Jingzhong, announce that I, the Wu Mansion, have lost this contest."
Wu Jingzhong shouted, walked up to Deng Long with approval, patted Deng Long on the shoulder and said
"Ah!" Everyone in the Wu Mansion did not expect such a result. They originally thought that the martial arts master would beat the boy severely and drive these outsiders out of Zhenjiang, but they did not expect that the martial arts master would take the initiative to admit defeat.
"Mr. Wu, this time I was actually late and disrespectful, but things are not what Mr. Wu imagined! Everything was a false accusation by the two thieves Song Wu and Xiao Liuzi," Deng Long bowed and clasped his fists in salute.
Wu Jingzhong burst out laughing, helped Deng Long up and said: "I believe that a person with noble martial ethics must have a noble character." After saying this, Wu Jingzhong's face changed and he shouted to the crowd: "Songwu and Xiaoliuzi, give it to me."
I'm coming out!"
When Song Wuye and Xiaoliuzi saw something wrong with the limelight, they quickly lowered their heads in the crowd and sneaked out secretly.
"Where are you going?" Ma Tiexin's evil smile caught the eyes of Song Wuye and Xiao Liuzi.
Song Wuye and Xiaoliuzi were really in tears. They originally planned to use the martial arts master to avenge their broken fingers, but they didn't expect this result.
Before the two could beg for mercy, Ma Tiexin picked up the two men by their collars and swung them to the middle of the martial arts arena. Song Wuye and Xiao Liuzi were immediately thrown at the feet of Wu Jingzhong and Deng Long.
, he fell so badly that stars shot out of his eyes.
"You two scumbags, why are you spreading rumors to stir up trouble?" Wu Jingzhong stepped on Master Song Wu's back, and Master Song Ouched and was trampled to the ground.
"Master Wu, you guys, we were wrong. We are all stupid people. They just got rich and made such a big mistake." Master Song Wu and Xiao Liuzi got up, their heads were pounding like garlic, and they were pounding
Kowtow and cry on the ground
"Humph, come here, chop off their hands." Wu Jingzhong shouted to the people below, and two strong men immediately came up.
"Hold on, Mr. Wu, these two people have already lost their fingers. If they cut off their hands again, I'm afraid their life will be dead. I think it's better to give them a way to live." Looking at Mr. Song Wu and Mr. Wu who were crying on the ground,
Deng Long couldn't bear it. After all, they were both Chinese. He would not die if he stole, so he persuaded him.
Wu Jingzhong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, send these two rubbing birds to the prison and hand them over to the county magistrate." During the Republic of China, it coincided with Yuan Datou's restoration. In the eyes of the people, the government was equivalent to the yamen, especially the Yamen.
It was people like Wu Jingzhong in the late Qing Dynasty who were more accustomed to the city and county government being the yamen.
"Let's go, let's get together at the Wu Mansion, especially you, Xiaolong. Tell me how you fired that knife. I'm so depressed and want to know." Wu Jingzhong pulled up Deng Long and said
When the three of them arrived at the Wu Mansion, Wu Jingzhong ordered tea to be served. After they sat down, Deng Long and the other three introduced themselves.
"You're a young man. Deng Long and you three came to Zhenjiang for something. Let's talk about it and see if I can help." Wu Jingzhong raised his hand and said boldly.
"Master Wu is also a great hero. Xiaolong told the truth. The three of us killed several traitors in Shanghai and were wanted by the Japanese. We also heard that the French Protector's Army was about to move to the north. The three of us went north to prepare to join the French Protector's Army." Deng
Long said respectfully
"Well, Yuan Shikai's restoration is not popular among the people. Cai E and President Sun have already marched north. I believe Yuan Shikai's days will not be long," Wu Jingzhong sighed.
"Master Wu is in the Jianghu and worried about the country. Let the juniors admire me. Another purpose of my coming to Zhenjiang this time is to visit Master Wu. Unexpectedly, there was a conflict. I ask the seniors to forgive me for what happened during the day." Deng Long finished.
The three of them stood up and apologized
"Oh, it's okay. We don't know each other if we don't fight. After all, the Japanese are in charge of this and that in China. It's really abominable. Take the old hero Huo Yuanjia as an example. It is said that he was poisoned to death by the Japanese.
Yes, the Japanese are ruthless," Wu Jingzhong sighed.
"Master Wu knows the old hero Huo Yuanjia?" Ma Tiexin asked in surprise
"I met him in Tianjin in the early years, and we exchanged opinions and advice. It can be said that we are both teachers and friends." Wu Jingzhong stroked his beard and said.
"How could the old man not be so righteous and so famous? I remember when the old man and the Boxer of Boxing helped the Qing Dynasty and destroyed the foreign countries in Beijing, and beat up the foreigners. Every time the younger generation hears people talk about it, they are filled with admiration." Deng Long said with cupped hands.
Wu Jingzhong quickly waved his hand and said: "Forget about those things, I have almost forgotten that time makes people grow old!"
Deng Long and the others stayed in Wu Mansion for half a day. After lunch, the three of them said goodbye to Wu Jingzhong, arrived at Zhenjiang Pier, and boarded a boat to Tianjin.
It was already late when we arrived in Tianjin, and the political situation in Tianjin was relatively tense, especially at night. Yuan Datou's military police and spies were everywhere searching for revolutionaries. The news was so tight that the three of them did not dare to go ashore, so they could only swim in the middle of the river.
Spent one night on the boat
During the day, the three of them landed ashore. Tianjin has always been a famous historical city. Various local cultures and special snacks are the favorites of everyone who comes to Tianjin. However, the three of them had no intention of visiting this famous city at this time. They only chose remote small towns.
walking alley
Deng Long was actually very depressed. He had no one to contact him when he arrived in Tianjin. The three of them were like headless flies wandering around the streets and alleys of the huge Tianjin city. The only clues that could be contacted were the plum blossoms left by Li Kangkai and He Chao.
signs, but I searched most of Tianjin and couldn't find any clues at all.
At night, the three of them could only retreat to the rented boat on the river to rest, feeling very depressed.
In the middle of the night, Ma Tiexin and Wang Daquan were sleeping soundly, but Deng Long did not dare to fall asleep. Tianjin was Yuan Shikai's sphere of influence, and there were spies everywhere. They had to be on guard, so the three of them could only take turns sleeping.
There seemed to be a slight noise on the river. Deng Long walked out of the cabin. It has to be said that since practicing in the sacred mountain, Deng Long's body has undergone obvious changes. At least his ears and eyesight have become more sensitive than before. A small boat is slowly moving in the darkness.
It paddled over, and there were slight ripples on the water.
The boat quickly rowed towards the boat he was on. When he was still about one or two meters away from his boat, a black figure on the opposite boat jumped over quickly and landed steadily on the bow.
Deng Long did not hesitate, and shot the flying knife in his hand. The man was very agile. As soon as he settled on the bow of the ship, he shouted loudly. An iron bridge was lying on the bow of the ship, and the flying knife was shot into the bow.
The boat on the opposite side
Deng Long didn't expect the other party to be so agile. He snorted coldly and was about to launch the second flying knife.
"It's me!" The man knew that he couldn't dodge the second blow. He had dodged Deng Long's first blow at such a close distance because he had known his brother for many years, but he didn't dare to take the second blow no matter what.
Yes, this person is none other than Li Kangkai
When Deng Long heard this voice, he suddenly became excited and said happily: "Old Li, is it you?"
The man stood up like a carp, and stood up coolly and said: "It's not me, who can avoid your knife at such a close distance except me. You kid finally came back to life, but you're going to kill me."
Li Kangkai came over, and the two brothers hugged each other tightly. The love between life and death was self-evident.
"Good brother, you've come back to life, and I finally understand a part of my heartache." Li Kangkai patted Deng Long on the shoulder and said.
"Brother Li, Lao Ma and Wang Daquan are in the cabin. Let's go, we brothers will have a good chat today." Deng Long led Li Kangkai into the cabin.
I feel depressed. This chapter is late. Starting from tomorrow, I will participate in closed marking for four consecutive days. I can only update once a day for four days. I hope everyone understands and continues to support Fafa!
