In the restaurant, Li Tianmu and Ji Chunfan sat across from each other, with black roses hanging across their faces. The three of them drank happily and chatted while drinking.
Black Rose asked: "Li Tianmu, why don't you stay at Dongwu Sheng's family? Are you tired of living and want to die?"
Li Tianmu said: "I don't want to cause trouble to Senior Mu."
Black Rose said: "It is better to cause trouble to Dongwu Sheng than to lose your life. You are really a fool, you are a fool."
Li Tianmu smiled.
Black Rose said: "Li Tianmu, you promised my aunt, but you haven't fulfilled it yet?"
Li Tianmu asked: "What's the matter?"
Black Rose said: "Take me to see Miss Dong."
Li Tianmu looked sad and said: "I can't see you anymore." He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Black Rose was startled and asked: "Why can't we meet?"
Li Tianmu said: "Qing'er is no longer here, she was killed by Dongchang."
Black Rose was startled again, excited in her heart, and thought to herself: "Now that Dong Qing is gone, Li Tianmu is mine." She said softly: "I'm sorry for mentioning your sadness."
Li Tianmu said: "This is nothing."
Black Rose asked again: "Where are you going?"
Li Tianmu didn't want to tell the truth and said, "It's up to you wherever you go."
Black Rose said: "You and I can go back to Snake Island. You will be safe there. If someone dares to go to Snake Island to harm you, they will definitely die miserably."
Li Tianmu said: "I am not familiar with the owner of Poison Island, so how can I cause trouble to her? It is absolutely necessary."
Black Rose said: "Why are you so stubborn? You and my sister are not familiar with each other. What does it have to do with you? Isn't it me? As long as I say a word, my sister will definitely take you in."
Li Tianmu smiled and said: "I understand your kindness, so I won't cause you any trouble."
Black Rose was quite disappointed. She picked up the wine bowl and drank it with an unhappy look on her face, and said: "Li Tianmu, you are such a big idiot, you are hopeless."
At this time, several police officers arrived in front of the building. The Yamen received a report and learned that a murder had occurred here, so they were sent to investigate.
The leader was a forty-year-old catcher. He asked the shopkeeper to question him and learned that the murderer was drinking upstairs. He thought to himself: "The deceased seem to be from the Jianghu. The murderer can fight one against four, so he must be a martial artist."
Master, I can't go up there to die." He glared at the shopkeeper and whispered, "Is the murderer really still upstairs?"
The shopkeeper thought he didn't believe it, so he vowed: "Yes, it's upstairs. If the officer doesn't believe it, I will take you up here."
The catcher's eyes widened even more, he grabbed the clerk by the front, and said viciously: "Is the murderer upstairs?"
The shopkeeper finally understood what he meant and quickly changed his words: "No, I just remembered it wrong. The murderer has already run away."
The head catcher smiled and said, "That's right. I'm sure the murderer is too brave to stay here and drink after killing someone." He ordered the catchers to take the body away.
Li Tianmu and others drank for more than half an hour. Ji Chunfan paid the bill and the three of them walked out of the restaurant. Ji Chunfan said: "Tianmu, where are you going?"
Li Tianmu said: "Junior, go north."
Ji Chunfan said: "When I return to Yangzhou, I am also heading north. Let's go together."
Li Tianmu said: "It's better not to do it. I don't want to cause trouble to my senior."
"Hahaha" Ji Chunfan said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of trouble, let's go together."
Li Tianmu smiled and said: "Well, it's better for me to obey my orders than to be respectful." He said to Black Rose: "Miss Hei, let's say goodbye."
Black Rose said: "No need to say goodbye. Wherever you go, my aunt will go. My aunt is determined to follow you."
Li Tianmu didn't want Black Rose to follow him, because Black Rose was too sexy and alluring, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control it and would do something sorry to Dong Qing. Although Dong Qing was gone, his only one
The thread of love is still firmly tied to Dong Qing.
He wanted to refuse and tell Black Rose not to follow him. He opened his mouth and swallowed the words back. Because deep down in his heart, he was willing to be with Black Rose.
Li Tianmu thought to himself: "She has saved me several times and is kind to me. If she is not allowed to follow, it would be unreasonable. Forget it, since she is willing to follow, let her go."
The shopkeeper brought Ji Chunfan's black donkey and said with a smile: "Old man, the younger one has already fed it. This donkey of yours is really strong and can catch up with the horses."
Ji Chunfan smiled and said: "What's a horse? My old man has this precious donkey, and I wouldn't trade it for ten horses." He took out a handful of copper coins and said, "Take it, this is a reward for you."
The shopkeeper smiled happily, bowed his body, put his hands together, and held them with his palms up.
Black Rose took the horse and said, "Li Tianmu, you don't have a mount, let's ride together."
Li Tianmu said: "No, I just need to keep my legs open."
Black Rose said: "My legs are so tired, so don't be polite and get on the horse."
Li Tianmu said: "There are differences between men and women. This will damage the reputation of the black girl. It is inevitable."
Black Rose said: "There are so many people in the world who are so picky. I just say it's okay. Stop talking nonsense and get on your horse."
Li Tianmu still insisted on walking.
Ji Chunfan said: "Tianmu, we are riding together, you can take my donkey."
Li Tianmu said: "It's better not to give up, don't tire out the senior's donkey."
Ji Chunfan said: "You are worrying too much. With your weight of more than a hundred pounds, I am still tired of this precious donkey. Just come up."
Seeing that the black donkey was as strong as a horse, Li Tianmu rode on it. Ji Chunfan got on the donkey backwards and sat back-to-back with Li Tianmu. The horse and the donkey walked side by side toward the outside of the city.
Black Rose said: "Old man, why are you riding the donkey backwards?"
Ji Chunfan smiled and said: "My old man is willing to do it, can you take care of it?"
Black Rose smiled and said, "Old man, you are really weird."
Ji Chunfan said: "That is, if there is no blame, can I be the first of the three weirdos in Yangzhou?" He lit a dry cigarette and started smoking. As he smoked, he hummed and sang: "Go, go, go, idiot and me."
Let’s walk together, we have traveled all over the Qingshan Mountains. People are getting old, and young people’s ambitions are somewhat sad..."
Black Rose smiled and said: "Li Tianmu, the old man said you are a fool."
Li Tianmu smiled innocently.
The three of them stayed in Zhenjiang that night, and crossed the river north the next morning and entered Yangzhou City. Ji Chunfan invited Li Tianmu to sit at the Dingyuan Escort Bureau, and Li Tianmu refused.
When he was approaching the door of Dingyuan Escort Bureau, he heard the sound of fighting coming from inside. Ji Chunfan didn't pay attention, thinking it was the escorts sparring.
When they arrived at the door, the door was open. The three of them got off their mounts, led them inside, and climbed up the stone steps. They saw two groups of people standing in the yard. The group standing toward the door was from the escort agency, and the other group had the door behind them.
And stand.
Two groups of people stood facing each other more than three feet apart, and two people in the middle were fighting. One of them was a hunchback, wielding a short-handled mace, and the other was a Jurchen, with shaved hair and braids, a huge body, and wielding a one-legged weapon.
Bronze man.
Li Tianmu knew both of them. The hunchback was Zhang Ting, the third of the Three Freaks of Jiangnan, who was known as the Ming Hunchback of Jiangnan. The Jurchen was the Hercules Demon Wei Qi.
Li Tianmu thought to himself: "Why is this guy Wei Qi here?"
The three of them led their mounts around and handed them over to a bodyguard to lead them to the stables. When they came to the escort team, the second of the Yangzhou Three Monsters and the head of this bureau, the purple-bearded man Ouyang Qiu, greeted: "Brother , you are back. Hero Li is here too."
Li Tianmu cupped his hands towards Ouyang Qiu and said hello. He looked across and saw Guo Suo, the Intestinal Young Master, standing in the middle. Next to him stood Tiger Shark Song Zhong. I wonder what these people from the Xinghai Gang were doing here?
Ji Chunfan saw that the leader of the Salt Gang, "Life and Death Sentence" Zhou Wenzhu, was also there. He greeted him and asked Ouyang Qiudao: "Second brother, what's going on?"
Ouyang Qiu said: "The Xinghai Gang has submitted to the Hell Gate. A few days ago, they went to Xishan Island in Taihu Lake to ask Lao Zhou and the Salt Gang to also submit to the Hell Gate. Guo Suo's fellows are very powerful. Lao Zhou and the others are not opponents. They came to see my younger brother. If we can't defeat them, Lao Zhou will have no choice but to surrender to the Hell Gate."
Ji Chunfan snorted and shouted: "Submit is nothing. Old Zhou, don't listen to them. With us, the Three Monsters of Yangzhou, the gates of hell can't do anything to you."
Zhou Wenzhu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ji, for your help."
Hell Sect is a mysterious sect that has risen in the world in the past year or so. The leader is called Yan Jun. He is very powerful in martial arts and does not show his true colors to others. He is very mysterious.
In the past year, Hell Gate has annexed dozens of gangs from Guandong, North Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, South Zhili and other places, and its sphere of influence is growing.
Ji Chunfan chewed his pipe and pot to watch the battle. Seeing that Zhang Ting was no match, he shouted: "Lao San, come back and let me play with him."
Zhang Ting made a false move with his stick and retreated, panting from exhaustion and sweating profusely.
Just when Ji Chunfan was about to step forward to take action, Ouyang Qiu said: "Brother, I'll play with him first."
Ji Chunfan felt that Ouyang Qiu's attack on Wei Qi was not a big problem and did not stop him.
Ouyang Qiu walked forward with a large belly and a large ring knife.
Wei Qi carried the one-legged bronze man on his shoulders, curled his big mouth, and sneered: "Director Ouyang, you have such a big belly, can you still fight?"
Ouyang Qiu hummed and said, "It's more than enough to beat you like this."
"Ha..." Wei Qi sneered and said, "Well, I'll teach you the purple-bearded old man's clever tricks." He swung the bronze man Taishan over his head and smashed him over.
Ouyang Qiu saw that Wei Qi was so powerful that he didn't dare to fight head-on. He sidestepped and locked the jade belt around his waist, then struck back with a knife. The two of them changed their moves and fought together.
Wei Qi danced the one-legged bronze man up and down. Although Ouyang Qiu was very skilled in martial arts, he couldn't defeat him for a while. The two fought until they reached fifty points. Ouyang Qiu caught Wei Qi's flaw and kicked him. On Wei Qi's belly, Wei Qi took a few steps backwards, unsteady and squatted on his butt.
He was quite unconvinced. He got up and wanted to fight again. Guo Suo said: "Second brother, please come back. The eldest brother will deal with him personally."
When Wei Qi heard this, he didn't dare to disobey. He stood aside and glared at Ouyang Qiu angrily.
Guo Suo came forward with a ghost-headed sword and sneered: "Officer Ouyang really has a few tricks up his sleeve. Come on, come on, I will accompany you a few times."
Ouyang Qiu said: "I am also trying to learn Guo Guo's clever trick." Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly heard Li Tianmu say: "Ouyang Chief, please let me play with this big crab."
Ouyang Qiu knew that Guo Suo was very powerful and had no chance of defeating him. Seeing that Li Tianmu was willing to help, he was naturally happy. He smiled and said, "Master Li, I'll help you."
Li Tianmu smiled and said, "Master, don't be polite."
