Wu Shibin asked Geng Zhenggang and others to sit down in the front hall, and said: "Old Geng, please wait a moment, I will go to Baili Gambling House to rescue Li Tianmu." Then he called to a servant: "Xiao Liuzi, get me Get the knife."
Geng Zhenggang stood up and said: "Old Wu, we will go with you."
Wu Shibin made use of the Yanyue Sword, which is a kind of long-handled sword. It is heavy and has great cutting and splitting power. When not in use, this sword is placed on the knife stand in the flower hall of the back house.
Xiao Liuzi came to the door of the flower hall, looked inside, and saw young master Wu Xing discussing business with a customer, but he did not dare to go in.
Wu Xing saw Xiao Liuzi and asked, "Xiao Liuzi, is something wrong?"
Xiao Liuzi said: "In response to the young master, I asked the young master to come and get the knife."
Wu Xing asked casually: "What is the master doing with the knife? Does he want to stretch his muscles?"
Xiao Liuzi said: "Master Geng is here. He said that a man named Li Tianmu was captured by a vulture. He asked me to help him rescue him. I want to go to the vulture to ask for him."
After hearing this, Wu Xing frowned and said to the customer, "Master Zhao, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
The patron said: "Young Master, please excuse me."
Wu Xing took off the Yanyue knife from the knife holder, carried the knife out of the flower hall, and said to Xiao Liuzi: "Go and do your work, I will send the knife over."
Carrying the knife, he did not go to the front hall, but went to the back house and came to his mother's room.
Grandma Zheng saw her son walking in with a knife and said, "What did you bring it for?"
Wu Xing said: "Mom, you don't know something. Geng Zheng has just arrived. One of his friends was captured by a vulture, and he wants to ask my father to get him. We and the vultures are on the same page, and I don't want my father to go here." Wading in troubled waters, mother, please advise my father to stay out of Geng Zhenggang's business."
Grandma Zheng thought her son was right and said, "Hide the knife first, and then call your father over to persuade him. If he doesn't listen, we won't give him the knife. Without this thing , look at how he still meddles in his own business."
Wu Xing asked: "What excuse do you have to ask my father to come over?"
Aunt Zheng said: "Just say I fainted."
Wu Xing came to the front hall, greeted Geng Zhenggang, and then said to Wu Shibin: "Dad, mother has fainted. Please go and have a look."
Wu Shibin was startled and said, "Why did you faint? Did you call the doctor?"
Wu Xing said: "I sent someone to invite you."
Wu Shibin said to Geng Zhenggang: "Old Geng, just wait for me for a while. I'll be back as soon as I go."
The Wu family father and son came to the back house. Wu Shibin entered the house and saw Grandma Zheng sitting cross-legged on the kang. She said to his son: "What are you doing, you brat? Isn't your mother good? She fainted somewhere." ?Why do you want to curse your mother? What is the reason?"
Grandma Zheng said: "Master, don't blame Xing'er, this was all my idea, I asked him to say so."
Wu Shibin said angrily: "You are joking about your body. Are you full enough to hold yourself up?"
Grandma Zheng said: "Master, I was afraid that you would get into trouble, so I came up with this plan. We can't afford to offend the vulture, so please don't provoke him."
Wu Shibin said: "So that's why. Don't worry about men's affairs. It's unreasonable for the children to be so old and have no rules."
Wu Xing said: "Father, mother is right, we can't afford to offend the vultures, so please don't go into this muddy water."
Wu Shibin shouted: "You bastard, who can offend you and who can't offend me? I don't need your guidance? Get out of here." After saying this, he walked out of the house angrily and came to the flower hall to see the patron surnamed Zhao. Those present here put away their angry expressions and greeted him calmly: "Master Zhao is here. Are you doing well recently?"
The man surnamed Zhao said: "It's very good. Director Wu is also very good, right?"
Wu Shibin said: "I'm pretty good too." As he said that, he looked towards the knife rest and saw that the Yanyue knife was not there. He said "Huh" and said to himself: "Where did the knife go?"
The man surnamed Zhao said: "It was taken away by the young director just now."
Wu Shibin came outside his son's room but did not go in directly. His daughter-in-law was in the house. If his son was not there, it would not be appropriate for his husband to go in. So he asked outside the window: "Xing'er, are you in the house?"
"Father, the official is not here." A woman's voice came from the house.
In fact, Wu Xing was in the house. He deliberately asked his wife to lie that he was not there. Wu Shibin went to other places to look for him, but where could he find him? He searched the whole house but could not find his son. He returned to the bedroom and asked Grandma Zheng:
: "Where's that little beast?"
Aunt Zheng said: "Which little beast is that?"
Wu Shibin said: "Who else? Xing'er."
Grandma Zheng said unhappily: "Do you call your son that? If he is a little beast, what will you become?"
Wu Shibin said with a pale face: "Don't talk nonsense with me. Where did he go? Do you know?"
Grandma Zheng said: "He is so old, and he still tells me where he is going? How do I know?"
Wu Shibin said angrily: "This little beast is such a bastard that he actually hid my knife. Let me ask you, do you know about hiding the knife?"
Grandma Zheng said: "Of course I know, I asked my son to hide it."
Wu Shibin pointed his halberd at Grandma Zheng and shouted: "You prodigal bitch, you are getting more and more outrageous. If you don't fight for three days, you will go to the house to uncover the tiles. This is simply unreasonable. Hand over the knife quickly?"
Grandma Zheng said: "I can give you the knife, but you have to promise not to meddle in Geng Zhenggang's business."
Wu Shibin said: "How can that be done? Lao Geng and I are close friends of life and death. How can I ignore him when he begs me for help?"
Aunt Zheng said: "Without a knife, I wonder how you can meddle in this business."
Wu Shibin said: "If you don't have a knife, I will still take care of it. I will fight for the vulture right now. If I die, you can just wait to be a widow." After saying that, he walked out angrily, came to the front hall, and said:
"Old Geng, let's go."
Geng Zhenggang stood up and said, "Old Wu, how is your wife?"
Wu Shibin said: "A little problem, nothing serious."
Everyone left the front hall and walked towards the main door. Geng Zhenggang saw that Wu Shibin didn't bring anyone with him and said, "Old Wu, where is your knife?"
Wu Shibin said: "Do you still need a knife to deal with the vulture? I took him down with my bare hands."
Geng Zhenggang said: "Vultures are not easy-going people. We must not take them lightly. We should bring the knife with us."
Wu Shibin said: "No need, I know what's going on, so don't worry."
Geng Zhenggang asked: "Is it possible?"
Wu Shibin said: "Oh, it's okay, just don't worry."
Grandma Zheng went to push the door of her son's room, but it was bolted and did not open. Wu Xing thought that his father had come again, and was startled. He did not dare to say anything and made a gesture to his wife. Grandma Wang asked: "Who is it?"
?”
Aunt Zheng said: "It's me, open the door quickly." She asked her son to hide in the room, so he knew that his son was here.
Mrs. Wang opened the door, but Mrs. Zheng did not go in. She stood outside the door and said, "Xing'er, your father has gone to fight for the vulture. Send him the knife quickly. He can't do it without a knife."
Wu Xing said unhappily: "My father is really serious, why don't you listen to your advice? If this offends the vulture, we will not have a good life in the future."
Grandma Zheng said: "Stop talking and send the knife over quickly."
Wu Xing said: "It would be great if grandma was at home. My father wouldn't dare not listen to what she says."
Grandma Zheng said: "I will go to the nunnery to find your grandma right away. Maybe I can make it in time."
Wu Shibin had not gone far out of the house when Wu Xing chased after him with the Yanyue knife on his shoulder and said, "Dad, I've brought you a knife."
Wu Shibin said to Wu Xing: "Didn't I tell you as a father? There's no need to bring a knife. You brat, why did you bring it here again?" This was meant for Geng Zhenggang. He didn't want Geng Zhenggang to know that it was his wife and son who hid the knife.
I got up. I was afraid of arousing Geng Zhenggang’s suspicion, so I said this.
Wu Xing was very smart and understood what his father meant and said: "Dad, you'd better bring the knife. The vulture is very powerful in martial arts, so you better be cautious."
Geng Zhenggang said: "My nephew is right, Old Wu, just bring the knife."
Wu Shibin pretended to be reluctant and said: "Okay, okay, listen to others' advice and eat enough. Since you all say so, then I will take the knife with me."
When everyone came to the gate of Baili Casino, Wu Shibin put his Yanyue knife on his back and shouted to the thug guarding the gate: "Go and call the vulture out."
Wu Shibin was a well-known figure in Daming Mansion. Those thugs all knew him and knew that he was very skilled in martial arts. They did not dare to make mistakes in front of him. One of them flew to the back house to report.
After receiving the report, Vulture thought to himself: "What is this guy looking for me for? Could it be related to Li Tianmu?"
He came to the door with a few thugs, and saw Geng Zhenggang and others standing next to Wu Shibin, all with guys. He could see that they were coming with bad intentions, but he was not afraid, so he sneered and said: "Director Wu, what are you doing with a certain family?
"
Wu Shibin said: "Let Li Tianmu go."
Vulture thought to himself: "This guy really came here for Li Tianmu." He said: "What if a certain family doesn't let him go?"
Wu Shibin held the Yanyue Sword in front of him and said, "Then don't blame me for being rude."
The vulture sneered and said, "Wu, if you want to use force, I'm not afraid of you." After walking down the stone steps, he parted his claws to the left and right, flashed an "Eagle Spread Wings" sign, and said, "Wu,
, come in, I’ll play with you.”
Wu Shibin stood up with his Moon-cutting Sword, and slashed at the vulture with his shoulder blade. The vulture moved forward sideways, and used his left talon to grab Wu Shibin's voice.
Fighting with vultures.
The two fought for more than eighty minutes, but the outcome was still inconclusive. Seeing the vulture's superb claw skills, Wu Shibin raised his thumb secretly and said to himself: "That's it! Although this guy has a bad character, his martial arts is really extraordinary. I have to pay more attention.
I can't let this guy ruin my reputation for the rest of my life."
At this moment, Vulture also admired Wu Shibin's martial arts, and thought to himself: "This old man's sword skills are indeed amazing, but he is really difficult to deal with."
When the fight was inextricably linked, a horse came running from a distance, with Grandma Zheng and Mrs. Wu sitting on it. In the blink of an eye, the horse came to a stop in front of the escort office, the two dismounted, and Mrs. Wu shouted:
: "Bin'er, stop, don't fight anymore."
When Wu Shibin saw his mother coming, he feinted with his sword and stepped aside, blaming Grandma Zheng and saying, "You prodigal bitch, why did you invite me here? Let's see how I deal with you when I get back."
Mrs. Wu said: "Bin'er, go back with your mother." She said and walked back.
Wu Shibin did not argue, fearing that the vulture would laugh at him if he argued with his mother, so he said to Geng Zhenggang: "Old Geng, let's go back first and come back to save Hero Li later."
After everyone walked back for a while, Geng Zhenggang asked Shengming, Yu Bozhong, and Wu Qi to go back and secretly monitor the Vulture. He did not let Hu Kan go, because Hu Kan's target was too big and could be easily exposed.
