The horse stopped in front of the city gate. The sound of the wind was still strong. There were portraits of Cheng Dalei, Qin Man and Lin Shaoyu on the city gate.
However, except for Cheng Dalei, the portraits of the other two people still don't look alike.
Today, Qin Man smeared his face black with pot ashes, handed the guards a handful of copper coins, and successfully sneaked into Luoye City.
"Second Master, how is your eldest brother's relationship with Du Mao? Will there be any problems?"
"Commander, please rest assured. Brother and Brother Du are brothers who kowtow to each other. If you ask me, I don't need to come in person this time. I can just say a word and the matter will be settled."
The three of them led the horses forward and stopped under the big locust tree. Gao Feibao tied the horses and went to knock on the door.
"What are you knocking to announce your funeral?"
A head popped out of the door and stared at the three of them cautiously.
"Go inside and say that Gao Feibao from Feihu Village is here and wants to see you, Boss Du."
"Wait."
The man put down two words and soon opened the door again: "Boss Du is resting inside. You can come in and wait."
The three of them walked into the courtyard. Xu Shenji looked around and saw several big men drinking and laughing in the courtyard. There were several empty wine jars on the ground.
"Leopard, why are you here? You want to drink with flowers again."
"Be careful our brothers take you to court, your head is worth a hundred taels of silver now."
Two people who knew Gao Feibao greeted him with smiles and curses.
"Stop talking nonsense, where is Boss Du? I have something to do with him."
"Brother is drunk and squinting inside. Please wait for a while."
Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Shenji and Qin Man, and they asked: "These two brothers look so unfamiliar. Where did they come from? You are new brothers from Feihu Village."
"I haven't introduced you yet, but these two are brothers from Toad Village. This is Xu Shenji, the military advisor of Toad Village."
After saying these words, the courtyard suddenly became quiet. The drinkers stopped drinking, and those holding the stone locks also threw the stone locks on the ground. They all stood up and stared at Xu Shenji.
"Could it be...that he is Xu Shenji, nicknamed the Jade-Faced Scholar?"
"It is said that this person was the one behind the scenes of several tough battles in Toad Village, such as the defeat of a thousand elite soldiers in Black Rock City."
Someone stared at Xu Shenji and looked him up and down, only to see that he had a stooped figure and a hateful face. He couldn't be described as scholar, and he didn't know where to start talking about jade face.
"It's such a ridiculous thing to say. Who knows if it's true or not? I'd say it's mostly fraud."
Nowadays, the reputation of Toad Village is really great, and even Xu Shenji’s reputation is rising. Everyone talks about the jade-faced scholar’s clever calculations, but when he saw Xu Shenji, he looked like this...
To be honest, I feel like my idol has collapsed...
"Hey, your Toad Village is really so capable, then let's see how many of our brothers can beat your Toad Village?"
"Haha, it's hard to say this, it's hard to say." Xu Shenji bent down and laughed along with him.
"If there's anything you can't say, say it boldly. What are you worried about..."
"What I'm worried about is that there are too few of you..." Xu Shenji raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "There aren't enough people to kill you."
Silence!
All the eyes in the yard were focused on Xu Shenji, with vigilance, anger and uneasiness in his eyes.
Xu Shenji pointed towards the room and said loudly: "Xu Shenji from Toad Village is here to pay homage to Boss Du."
The door of the house slowly opened, and a middle-aged man in white robe stepped out of the house and stood in the sun.
What a handsome man!
Qin Man couldn't help but praise him in his heart. He was more than eight feet tall, with an ape's back and a wasp's waist. He had a lazy look on his face. He looked like a Confucian scholar, but the light in his eyes was as sharp as a knife.
.
Xu Shenji knew that this was the rightful owner, and he glanced at Qin Man. Qin Man understood, opened the baggage he was carrying, and took out a pure silver Buddha statue, about a hundred taels in weight.
"Boss Du, our boss asked me to come over. I want to make friends with Boss Du."
Du Mao took the Buddha statue and weighed it in his hands.
"If Mr. Du doesn't recite Buddha's name or burn incense, why would Mr. Cheng give me a Buddha statue? He wants Mr. Du to become a vegetarian in the future."
There was an uproar of laughter in the courtyard, and everyone looked at Xu Shenji jokingly.
"Take it back, I, Du Mao, have no shortage of friends." Du Mao waved his hand and threw the Buddha statue over: "Go back and tell your boss that dogs have their own dog paths and tigers have their own tiger paths. You and I are not on the same road in Toad Village.
I advise you, Master Cheng, not to stretch your hands too far, this is not Qingniu Mountain."
Gao Feibao didn't expect Du Mao to be so arrogant, and he was hit with a big problem on the spot. He said awkwardly: "Boss Du, this time it's my eldest brother's face..."
Xu Shenji waved his hand to stop Gao Feibao from continuing. He clasped his fists and said, "Please, Mr. Du. Although dogs have their own dog paths and tigers have their own tiger paths, mountains and rivers meet each other and the road is narrow. We will inevitably encounter each other. Who can
Who is the dog and who is the tiger? We will find out when the time comes."
The three of them turned around and walked out, when two big men blocked the door.
"Brother, don't go back empty-handed when you come. Bring something with you."
As he spoke, Du Mao suddenly picked up the stone lock on the ground and smashed it with his pocket. Hearing the sound of wind behind his head, Qin Man turned around suddenly, stepped in front of Xu Shenji, took a step forward, and caught the stone lock.
Retreating took away the momentum of the stone lock.
Only then did Xu Shenji and Gao Feibao turn their heads. Gao Feibao said angrily: "Boss Du, what are you doing!"
"It's a long way, so it's not convenient to carry heavy objects." Xu Shenji said coldly: "Qin Man, please go back."
The stone lock once again flew in the air and hit Du Mao. Du Mao took three steps back to catch it and put it at his feet. His eyes looked at Qin Man.
"see a visitor out."
The three of them left the city, and Gao Feibao was so angry that he originally wanted to rely on his face to settle the matter, but now his face has fallen to the ground.
"Boss Du is so crazy. He really thinks he can cover the sky with just one hand! But Lao Xu, you can't tell it usually, so you have a chance."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Xu Shenji smiled and suddenly noticed that the expression on Qin Man's face was wrong.
"Brother Qin, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Man showed a bitter smile on his face: "I was careless and hurt my arm."
Pulling open his sleeves, his arm was already swollen. Du Mao attacked from behind, but Qin Man was so defensive that he dodged his arm.
Back at Toad Village, when Cheng Dalei saw this scene, he immediately frowned.
"You have fought against Du Mao, how good is he?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"If you are not under me, you are indeed capable of killing a tiger." Qin Man sighed.
"Thanks to Qin Man's ability this time, otherwise we might have been in trouble. This Du Maote is also arrogant and doesn't take our Toad Village seriously. He says that you are a dog and he is a tiger. Tigers don't know how to make friends with dogs.
"Xu Shenji.
"What am I talking about? What am I talking about..." Cheng Dalei was furious at Tianling Gai: "You can't coddle them, you're really going to give him face."
