"You black charcoal-like birdman robbed the master's money, if the master doesn't beat you, who will you beat?" The fat man spat at Li Kui who was sitting on the ground with a look of disdain.
Standing in front of Li Kui at this moment are Jiao Ting and Shi Yong.According to Ximen Qing's arrangement, the two of them played gambling money in Xiao Zhangyi's gambling room every day, just to get familiar with the gamblers and let them regard themselves as one of the gamblers in the gambling room.In this way, today there is an excuse to beat Li Kui outside the gambling room without arousing suspicion.
The dozen or so people who were knocked down by Li Kui in the gambling room had no place to avenge their grievances. Now they crowded at the door and saw Li Kui knocked down by the two companions who chased them out of the gambling room, and they were all happy.Hmph, murderer Li, no one can do anything to defeat you on weekdays, but today you finally met your opponent, let's see how you are still acting awe-inspiring!
Because of Li Kui's prestige, these people don't dare to applaud him openly, but they are full of anticipation in their hearts waiting to see Li Kui be deflated and beaten.
Li Kui was spit all over the face by Jiao Ting, furious in his heart, got up and wanted to beat Jiao Ting.However, this guy is only strong, but not very skilled in boxing and kicking. How can he be a fierce opponent with three generations of sumo skills passed down by his ancestors?
Li Kui didn't have a firm footing, so Jiao Ting kicked him in the ribs, causing him to bend over.At the same time, Shi Yong also hit Li Kui in the face with a powerful punch.Even Li Kui, who was rough and thick and covered in iron cowhide, was also beaten so badly that he vomited blood and lost a tooth.
Immediately afterwards, Li Kui felt pain in his heel again, and he had already been kicked on his ankle by the opponent's fat man.Li Kui's black bear-like body lost his balance again, and fell heavily on his back to the ground.
It's not that "Black Whirlwind" Li Kui is incompetent, but that Ximen Qing specially arranged for him two opponents, "Faceless" Jiao Ting and "General Stone" Shi Yong, who are exactly Li Kui's nemesis.
Li Kui only relies on his physical strength to fight with his bare hands, and he doesn't have much skill.His style of fighting at the expense of his body can only bully some ordinary people who are not skilled in martial arts. When encountering people with good fists such as Jiao Ting, Yan Qing, Wu Song, and Shi Xiu, Li Kui can only be beaten.
Historically, Li Kui met Jiao Ting on Guanzhou Road, and was subdued by Jiao Ting's punch and kick, so he made friends with Jiao Ting and led him to Liangshan.So when Ximenqing arranged for Jiao Ting to perform the task of beating Li Kui, he was not at all worried that he would not be able to beat Li Kui.
"General Shi" Shi Yong is also characterized by great strength. He once killed a person with one punch while gambling.Ximen Qing asked him to cooperate with Jiao Ting in order to beat Li Kui and give him a severe lesson.Although Li Kui was nicknamed Tien Niu, he was not made of iron. After being hit by Shi Yong's iron fist, it was enough for him to suffer for a few days.
After being knocked down twice, Li Kui felt ashamed and annoyed, and still struggled to get up to fight Jiao Ting and Shi Yong.It's a pity that in the face of Jiao Ting and Shi Yong's attack, this "Black Whirlwind" Li Kui was beaten so helplessly that he could only try his best to cover his vital parts.
Li Kui thought to himself as he rolled on the ground, damn it, it's a pity that he doesn't have two axes in his hand, otherwise he would kill these two birdmen!Next time you come to gamble, you must bring your axe!
Although he was annoyed, Li Kui begged for mercy: "My lord! Tieniu has surrendered! Tieniu will not dare again in the future!"
Li Kui pondered in his heart, first coaxed the two people to let go, and then returned to the prison to get the axe, and then came back to talk to the two people.
Unexpectedly, Jiao Ting and Shi Yong did not intend to give up at all, they punched and kicked, scolding Li Kui for not abiding by the rules, and saying that they came to provoke the master, they beat Li Kui so hard that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
The gamblers gathered at the door of the gambling room saw that Jiao Ting and Shi Yong were going to beat Li Kui to death, and that Li Kui, who used to be majestic and majestic in the past, had already been knocked to the ground, and when he could only cover up and parry, they immediately applauded , He scolded Li Kui, expressing a resentment in his chest.
"Let go of my brother Tie Niu!" Just as everyone in Xiao Zhang Yi's gambling room was eager to rush forward to beat the dog in the water and avenge his beating by Li Kui, a voice suddenly sounded like thunder.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and when they looked up, they saw a huge man running from a distance.That man was nine feet tall, covered in purple flesh, taller and mightier than the three fighting Li Kui and the others.
What a man like a god!Xiao Zhangyi and the others saw the scene, fearing that the situation might change, they quickly retreated into the gambling room, distanced themselves from Jiao Ting and Shi Yong.The gods fight, and the common people suffer. Neither side seems to be an easy character to mess with. Which gamblers would dare to participate in it.
Seeing that the giant man was approaching swiftly, Jiao Ting let go of Li Kui who had been beaten until he was curled up on the ground with his head in his arms, and went up to the man.The two shouted loudly and started fighting outside the door of the gambling room.
Xiao Zhangyi and the others looked around the door tremblingly, and saw that the two of them were fighting for more than ten strokes with fists and feet, and there was no difference between the winner and the loser, but Shi Yong could hardly restrain Li Kui who was struggling on the ground.
Seeing this, Shi Yong threw away Li Kui on the ground, grabbed the silver on the ground, and went straight to the giant man.He ran to Jiao Ting's side, and after cooperating with Jiao Ting to force the giant back, he pulled Jiao Ting and ran away, saying: "Brother Zhang Heng, let's bypass that black guy today, and argue with him later!"
The two ran away, and Jiao Ting turned around and shouted at the giant man, "Why are you nosy, you bunch of birds? 'Grandpa Dog Face Zhang' doesn't hit unknown people with his fists, you bunch of birds can't be bothered." Dare to leave your name?"
The giant man replied with a loud voice: "Bah! The two birdmen are running fast! I will not change my name if I am going, and I will not change my surname when I am sitting. The "Optimus Prime" Ren Yuan of Taiyuan Mansion is the master! My master, I have no sumo wrestling in the world." Opponent, I will be the best in the world.' You two birdmen are not afraid of death, so don't run away, and come and compete with the master for a few more rounds!"
After hearing this, Jiao Ting and Shi Yong didn't talk to each other, they just ran away in a hurry.
The giant man pulled Li Kui up from the ground and asked with concern: "Brother Tieniu, is your injury serious?"
Li Kui didn't recognize the giant man in front of him at first, but this man saved him, so he had to reply respectfully: "Brother Duomeng Ren rescued him! Tieniu is very grateful! Tieniu is just some skin trauma, I have never been beheaded by those two birdmen, so it’s hard to beat any bird.”
Chapter 225 Digging a Pit by the Xunyang River
The giant man smiled and said, "Brother Tieniu is really a good man!"
Li Kui turned around and stared at the group of gamblers in the gambling room, and said in his mouth: "These birdmen must be with those two birdmen, and they are all here to bully the master! The master will not spare them!" After saying this, Li Kui He was about to rush into the gambling room and beat up the gamblers to vent his anger.
The giant man stretched out his hand to grab Li Kui, dragged him back violently, and said to him: "These guys are just spectators, and they have no skills at all. How can they be called heroes if they beat them? Brother Tieniu, I will find a match with you." Go to a restaurant for a drink. It won’t be too late to find those two escaped birdmen in the future.”
Li Kui picked up from the ground the scattered silver that Jiao Ting and Shi Yong hadn't picked up in time, and estimated it to be around ten taels.He put the silver into his bosom, glared at Xiao Zhangyi and others, and cursed: "I lost the silver, and I will come to you bird people to reason with you someday!"
Seeing that Li Kui was still acting fierce, the giant man pulled him away.
The two walked far away, and the crowd inside and outside the gambling room dispersed in a rush, and each went to someone to brag about today's witness to the murderer Li being beaten.
Lu Xiaoyi also mixed in with the crowd and left Xiao Zhangyi's gambling house, and wanted to rush back to the city to report the progress of the plan to Ximen Qing.
After a while, Lu Xiaoyi went into the city and returned to the restaurant where Ximenqing had a drink, came to Ximenqing, and said to Ximenqing: "Brother, just as you expected, then Li Kui got the money here, so he ran to the small restaurant outside the city. Zhang Yi went to the gambling room to gamble money. Li Kui lost ten taels of silver in two games. Son Zhang Heng beat up Li Kui's fellow severely. Seeing that Li Kui was beaten so painfully, Jiang Zhong pretended to be "Optimus Prime" Ren Yuan drove away Jiao Ting and Shi Yong brothers, and saved Li Kui's life Now Brother Jiang Zhong has taken Brother Li Kui to the riverside tavern for a drink."
Ximen Qing said with a smile when he heard this: "Hehehe~ This black guy is also in my trap! This time, these villains in Jiangzhou must fight to the death! Let's go, let's go to the Pipa Pavilion restaurant by the river to have a drink and watch a show. Presumably At this time, the brothers Jiao Ting and Shi Yong have already found that 'Langli Baitiao' Zhang Shun."
The two got up and left the restaurant, and walked towards the Pipa Pavilion tavern outside the city.
……
At this time, in a tavern by the Xunyang River, Jiao Ting and Shi Yong were also dragging a man to drink.The man was 32 and three years old, with three willows covering his mouth and black beard; his head was wrapped with a green gauze swastika scarf, which concealed a little red sideburns, and he wore a white shirt with a collar and a silk around his waist. Hemp shoes, and a weighing scale beside the seat.
This man is none other than Zhang Shun, the "Wangli Iiaotiao" from the Liangshan Hero Jiangzhou Gang.
Zhang Shun is a native of Jiangzhou, "born by the Xunyang River and grew up at the foot of Xiaogu Mountain". Because he was born white as snow and skilled in water, he is known as Langli Baitiao.
In the words of Zhang Shun's elder brother Zhang Heng, Zhang Shuneng "didn't get to the surface of the water for forty or fifty miles, and stayed under the water for seven days and seven nights", and he was a genius in the water.
There are three tyrants in Jieyang area of Jiangzhou, Li Jun and Li Li are the tyrants on the Jieyang Ridge, Mu Hong and Mu Chun are the tyrants in Jieyang Town, and Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun are the tyrants in the Xunyang River.Zhang Shun and his elder brother Zhang Heng were on a private ferry along the Xunyang River, and they often robbed people and money when they ferryed to the middle of the river.
Regarding how Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun did this smuggling business, Zhang Heng, the "boat fire" once said: "I have two brothers, but when I lose the bet, I will first drive a boat and cross the river quietly." There are those first-class guests who are greedy for saving hundreds of dollars and want to get off my boat quickly. When the boat is full, I teach my brother Zhang Shun to pretend to be a single guest and carry A big bag, also come to take advantage of the boat.
I rolled the boat into the middle of the river, rested the scull, dropped the anchor, inserted a plank knife, but asked for the boat's money.It's worth five hundred dollars per person, so I'll definitely want him three times.
But I asked my brother to ask for it first, and taught him to pretend not to return it to me.I grabbed him with one hand, grabbed his head with one hand, stabilized his waist and hips with the other, and threw him into the river with a plop.Everyone was stunned and couldn't come out in time.After collecting enough, he was sent to a secluded place to go ashore.
My brother walked across the other side from the bottom of the water, and when there was no one else, he shared the money with his brother to gamble.At that time, the two of us lived only on this road. "
That is to say, the two brothers used to specialize in half-extortion, half-robbery, extorting money from others.
Later, the strength of the two brothers gradually grew, and they separated to do their own careers.
Zhang Shun went to Jiangzhou City to sell fish teeth, that is to say, he became the boss of the fish shop along the Xunyang River in Jiangzhou, and became a fish tyrant.
The fresh fish caught by the fishermen every day must be approved by Zhang Shun before they dare to sell them to various restaurants and other vendors.Without Zhang Shun's consent, even a well-known restaurant like Pipating Tavern would not be able to get the best seafood.
The seafood market in such a big Jiangzhou was monopolized by Yuba Zhang Shun, but he earned a lot of money, which is no less than the previous robbery by blocking the river.
Zhang Shun's elder brother, "Chuanhuoer" Zhang Heng is a nostalgic person who still likes the feeling of doing whatever he wants on the river, killing people and robbing money.Therefore, after Zhang Shun became Yuba, he ferryed across the river alone, continuing his old business of robbery and murder.
These two brothers were naturally destined to die in Ximen Qing's heart.Ximenqing intends to provoke Zhang Shun and Li Kui, the two villains, to fight to the death by the river, and it is best to lure Zhang Heng out by the way to catch them all.
In order to achieve this goal, Ximenqing asked Shi Yong to hang out in the fish market by the river every day a few days ago, looking for opportunities to make friends with Zhang Shun, the "Wangli Baitiao", invited him to eat wine and gamble together, and became friends with him and became brothers.
At this time, Shi Yong was taking Zhang Shun to drink in the tavern with Jiao Ting according to Ximen Qing's payment, deliberately delaying the time for him to go to the riverside to open a cabin to sell fish, waiting for "Jiang Menshen" Jiang Zhongna While provoking Li Kui to go to the river to make trouble.
……
In another restaurant by the river, Jiang Zhong was calling the bartender to ask: "But this is the fish soup. The fish is not good to eat if it is marinated; when you don't have any good fresh fish here, make some more spicy soup to share with me." Two sober up."
