Chapter 53
(Wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)
Before leaving the house, Li Kui glanced at the long knife on the shelf.
This knife has basically not been used since he got it from Master Lingzhi. The only time it was unsheathed was when he used a concealed weapon to sneak attack the tiger. If Dalang hadn't stupidly ambushed the tiger that day,
On the only way, it was discovered, and maybe the sword would never get a chance to be unsheathed.
My hand gently brushed the scabbard, and there was already a thin layer of dust.
Bring it or not?
Li Kui thought about it, and finally put the knife on the shelf. He was not good at swordsmanship, and if he wanted to learn it, there were no famous masters nearby. In Yishui County, it seemed that only Li Qing's swordsmanship was passable, just passable.
It can only be said that he is just a street kid in the world. Can he, a dignified tiger-fighting hero, learn the sword skills of a street kid?
In fact, Baizhang Village also has a set of Polu sword techniques in the army, but they are all desperate moves, and it is easy to get into trouble if you learn them. Besides, there is not enough time on weekdays. Recently, Zhou Yuan seems to be addicted to squeezing Li Kui's learning ability.
The schoolwork was getting heavier day by day. He wanted to say goodbye and go home several times, but Zhou Yuan stopped him every time.
He was not good at swordsmanship and couldn't use a good knife at all. He simply didn't bring anything with him to show that he was aboveboard. He reached out and took two pebbles from the table, stuffed them into the belt around his waist and left the county.
Yamen.
He had no idea that Li Hong and Li Lin rushed back to Baizhang Village overnight last night and told the old patriarch that Li Kui might be in danger.
The old man was angry at that time, and ordered with an iron fist that all the people in Baizhang Village who could wield a knife should come out...
Fortunately, he was stopped by his son Li Hong, the seventh uncle: "Dad, although our village is not very populated, there are still men in their forties or fifties, plus half-grown children, there are seventy or eighty people? Take them all.
We entered the city with weapons, and those who didn’t know better thought we were going to rebel and rob the county seat?”
All in all, the number of people entering the city was reduced to thirty.
Even so, we don't dare to bring weapons to everyone. We can only pretend to be mountain people transporting mountain goods and rush to the county town in twos and threes. As for weapons, there is no need to find a place to hide a knife in the firewood stack or under the cart.
It is not too difficult. Especially the villagers of Baizhang Village now have very convenient access to the city, and they will basically not be questioned or searched by the soldiers at the city gate. What's more, their destination is not the county seat at all, but the Han Dynasty outside the county seat.
village.
Not to mention the Baizhang villagers' mobilization, if Han Dahu really had evil intentions, a bloody battle would be inevitable.
Li Kui walked out of the county government office, ate two bowls of noodle soup on the street, burped, looked up at the gentle sun that could barely feel the heat, and walked out of the county town slowly.
Not far from the west gate is a Zhuangzi. Inspector Han Dahu built the Zhuangzi here. Over time, it became Hanzhuang. There is a large courtyard in the center of the Zhuangzi with a gate tower and high walls. Although the gate tower is not tall, it is in Yishui County.
, it is rare to see people who can build a house like this. Before Li Kui approached the gate, two people ran out of the house quickly.
One is fat and one is thin.
The fat one was of course Han Dahu. His steps were so fast that the people behind him could not catch up with him. Following Han Dahu was shopkeeper Qiu. Han Dahu ran and jumped in front of Li Kui. He tried to calm his breathing and said to Li Kui: "Brother
, I have offended many times, but I have no choice but to do it as a brother."
Li Kui was confused when he heard this. He didn't remember anything Han Dahu had done to offend him.
Yesterday, he also solved the problem of Wang Fu. It can be seen that this is the goodwill released by Han Dahu to him. He saw Han Dahu quickly talking: "Brother, please be patient, Wang Fu is doomed this time. Brother, I will always be there."
There are some old friends in the Xin Army, and if I send a private letter, Wang Fu will never appear in front of his brothers in this life."
Li Kui believes that the worst place to be dispatched is to go to the area under the jurisdiction of the Forbidden Army. The Yongxin Army is such an area. A Forbidden Army has an area as large as two or three counties. They are all areas controlled by the army. Within this area, there are
The army has the final say. Once someone in the army wants to put prisoners to death, it will be difficult to live.
"I have to thank Brother Han for his kindness. I would like to thank you here!"
Monk Li Kui Zhang Er was confused, but he could not forget the proper etiquette. He hurriedly handed over his hands and thanked Han Dahu for his help.
It's not worth beating someone like Wang Fu to death; it's useless to beat him up. That's what scoundrels are like. They seem to have nothing, even dignity and face have been completely abandoned. Even if Li Kui wants to solve this trouble, I'm afraid it will take a long time.
If you get into trouble, you'll be in a lot of trouble.
Han Dahu touched the sweat on his forehead. It was very cold, but he felt an indescribable heat. The reason why he said this was probably to let Li Kui know that Han Dahu was on his side. He was a brother, not an enemy.
"Brother Li Kui, my second brother-in-law is here." Han Dahu did not dare to let Li Kui enter his village like this. His second brother-in-law was a stupid martial artist who always wanted to use force to solve everything.
But force cannot be used at any time, it is easy to use!
What if you meet someone you can't afford to offend?
In his opinion, Li Kui is a vicious person that he can't afford to offend. His second brother-in-law is just causing trouble for him. What makes him angry is that his suggestions are insignificant at home. His old father-in-law regards his second brother-in-law as a
Bao, if you treat him like grass, what can he do?
Li Kui was puzzled and said to himself: "Is your second brother-in-law here?"
However, he still wanted to give Han Dahu some face and asked tentatively: "Has something unexpected happened?"
Han Dahu patted his thigh and said flatteringly: "Brother Li Kui has a sharp eye, and you can see all this. Brother, you don't know! I don't make the decision at home, and my wife has the final say. That's all. My father-in-law is at my home.
I admit it even if he points his nose at me and scolds me, but my second brother-in-law is a reckless man with a bad brain, but who told my father-in-law to listen to him? He is a well-respected captain in the Huaiyang Army, and he is the third in command of my father-in-law.
A fierce general with astonishing force."
Come on!
Han Dahu wanted to file a lawsuit and use Li Kui's help to deal with his family members.
Seeing Han Dahu's reaction to him, it didn't look like he was going to regret it. It should be the relationship between his so-called second brother-in-law and his father-in-law. In any case, Li Kui decided to take a look before saying: "If you want to regret it, I also have the right to regret it, right?"
?”
"This is nature, this is nature!"
Han Dahu agreed, and said that even if Li Kui and his father-in-law had a quarrel, he would not antagonize Li Kui for this, and even betrayed his second brother-in-law: "Brother, my second brother-in-law has a very hard hand.
He has great kung fu and is good at using weapons, especially in mounted combat. You have to be careful with him, otherwise it will be bad if he gets injured."
Li Kui followed Han Dahu as he walked into the house. He glanced at Han Dahu secretly and found that this guy's eyes were very clear, and sincere friendship seemed to be coming. He couldn't figure out how this guy could betray his family.
?The second brother-in-law can be considered a relative, right? Although the relationship is definitely not as close as that of a biological brother, the in-laws are also family members, right?
Could it be that he and his second brother-in-law didn't deal with each other and deliberately angered Li Kui so that he could vent his anger?
This is a good way to embarrass the guy who doesn't deal with you, and at the same time distance yourself from yourself.
Li Kui said in confusion: "Brother Han, your second brother-in-law is dissatisfied with Li."
"I can't say I'm dissatisfied. I just think that I am an official and you are a citizen. Since ancient times, the government and the people have never interacted with each other. How can we talk about cooperation? What he means is to give you some money and let you come up with the secret recipe. That's all.
Otherwise, I will have to have a bet with you." Han Dahu didn't feel embarrassed, Li Kui would understand sooner or later anyway, so it would be better to tell him earlier and win Li Kui's favor.
At home, especially on the father-in-law's side, the eldest brother-in-law is the one who makes suggestions, and the second brother-in-law is the one who takes the lead. He is the wallet.
The key is not how much money he pays.
The problem is that even though he has contributed money, he is still not welcomed.
He had long been dissatisfied with his father-in-law and his family. If his status had not been too low and his brothers were incompetent, he would have wanted to cut off contact. As for informing Li Kui, Han Dahu didn't think he was wrong at all. Instead, he identified his second brother-in-law
He was suspected of stealing the credit. Fortunately, Li Kui didn't look like a tough guy who was easy to deal with. Otherwise, if the second brother-in-law had succeeded, wouldn't he have become a burden in the wife's family?
Li Kui nodded solemnly and said: "I understand, what is your second brother-in-law's name? What is his origin?"
"Cheng Zhijie, the captain of Zhiguo in the Huaiyang Army, is a military attaché of the seventh rank."
"Cheng Zhijie?" Li Kui felt a sense of familiarity for no reason when he heard these three words, but for a small seventh-grade military attache, how could he have the illusion that he knew him from acquaintance? Could it be that he has something to do with the old patriarch? That's not right either.
Ah! The old patriarch wanted to fawn over even Li Qing back then. If he really knew a seventh-grade military general, wouldn’t he want to fawn over him like God?
Li Kui murmured to himself: "This name is so weird, I think I've heard of it before?"
Han Dahu said disdainfully: "Damn, this guy is just a stick, don't pay attention to him. His father is also stupid, so he gave his son such a name. Cheng Zhijie, isn't he the founding hero of the previous dynasty, Cheng Yaojin? That's it.
If he bullies the descendants of the Cheng family in Qizhou and dares to take the name of his ancestors, how will he end up if he really comes to his door?"
Cheng Yaojin!
Speaking of this person, how could Li Kui not know him? This man was called Cheng Yaojin before he was famous. After he made great military exploits with Li Erli, he thought that his name was too frustrating and too inelegant, so he changed his name to Cheng Zhijie.
Li Kui must have heard of this name, and it was like thunder to his ears. He was a famous axe! No wonder Li Kui thought that he and Han Dahu's second brother-in-law were old friends. This was the reason.
Could it be that Cheng Zhijie also used an axe? Out of curiosity, Li Kui asked: "What kind of weapon does your second brother-in-law use?"
"Xuanhua Big Ax!"
Needless to say, just use the weapon he used. You should teach him how to be a good man. He is too arrogant. Counting from the Song Dynasty, a thousand years ago and a thousand years later, the number of people who are good at using axes in history is
Three, Xu Huang of the Three Kingdoms, Cheng Yaojin of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Li Kui of this dynasty. If ranked according to martial arts, Cheng Yaojin would probably be ranked last, because he only knows three axes. Not to mention he is a Xibei guy.
, Li Kui felt that he needed to clean up the door for the seniors of the Ax Gang.
Li Kui patted Han Dahu's shoulder a few times and sneered: "It's rare to meet a colleague, so Li should take a good look at his appearance."
He is completely qualified to say this.
