Chapter 12 Grabbing the Horse
The strong man who was determined to steal Li Xiao's snow-stepping mount had a fierce face full of flesh, and his two thick beards were disgusting with potholes. He pushed away the blocking guy, showed a grim smile on his face, and his black hairy hands reached forward, and he wanted to untie the reins of the snow-stepping bridle.
He suddenly felt a chill in his neck. When he turned his head, he saw the sharp and cold blade of a ferocious tiger sword suddenly resting beside his neck, shining with a stern luster.
What a quick skill!
The strong man with a numb face who was about to untie the reins was secretly surprised and subconsciously stopped.
"Why can't you solve it?" Li Xiao's voice was sarcastic and cold. "You are so sorry, let's see if you are the one who has a fast hand or grandpa's knife!"
The accomplices next to the thump-faced man all reacted at this time, and they scolded each other, holding swords and swords to wrap up towards Li Xiao, but none of them dared to step forward and attack Li Xiao immediately.
Li Xiao swept his eyes away and a contemptuous sneer beside his lips.
"If you are impatient, go together to save grandpa some trouble."
Li Xiao's words were calm and clear, as if he was talking about a very ordinary little thing.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Li Xiao could clearly hear everyone's heavy breathing.
"Hero! Don't do it!"
A eager shout came from a distance. Li Xiao saw a middle-aged man with a fat body, wearing a red five-bat lucky group collar silk shirt, a square flat scarf, and a half-Shanghai and half-Ru. His round face was full of anxiety, and he was jogging quickly towards himself.
Li Xiao did not put down the tiger sword, but just looked coldly at the middle-aged man standing in front of him while gasping for breath.
"I, Zhang Degui, is the shopkeeper of the Daguang Bushang in the city. These are all shopkeepers in the store. Today, somehow, these guys poured a few more cups of cat urine. They actually wanted to borrow the mount of the hero. The shopkeeper was not strict in control, so he asked the hero to forgive his crimes. But he didn't know the name of the hero's surname?"
Zhang Degui's words made Li Xiao frown.
"Hmph, my surname is Li Xiao. You, the shopkeeper Zhang, are so skewed. You have taken action to rob him and said arrogantly. I'm afraid that if I didn't take action to suppress the murderers, the shopkeeper Zhang wouldn't know where to hide."
Li Xiao's sarcasm made Zhang Gui's face darker.
Zhang Degui raised his head and shouted to the scared man who was put on his neck by Li Xiao's knife: "Zhou Qi! You bastard, you dare to steal someone's mount with the alcohol. You don't even look at your three-legged cat's kung fu, how can you be Li Zhuangshi's opponent? Why don't you apologize to Li Zhuangshi!"
An accomplice next to him was unhappy. He came over with dissatisfaction and said to Zhang Gui: "Boss, in the past, people were afraid of us. Why did you increase other people's ambitions and vent your own majesty today?"
After hearing this, Zhang Degui twisted his fat body and slapped the person in the face with a "pop!"
"Silly pigs! You guys who don't know the priorities! The customers in the east are waiting for us to deliver the goods quickly. You guys are so happy that they are making trouble here, and don't see which one of you is their opponents! Let me tell you, if the master's business is delayed, we will not be able to take care of it!"
Zhang Degui cursed, but Li Xiao's face began to become serious. He thought to himself, could the customer in the east pointed to by the shopkeeper...
Zhang Degui turned around again, squeezed out a smile to Li Xiao and said, "Heroic! This is a misunderstanding. Please give up your hand and let Zhou Qi go. Some family is thinking that in this Jinzhou street, the hero doesn't want to make things bigger."
At this time, Zhou Qi also stumbled on a few words of apology.
Li Xiao looked at Zhang Degui's smile and was not smiling. When he saw this person's words, he actually hid a needle in the cotton. He apologized and secretly warned him to forgive him when he could forgive him.
Li Xiao pondered for a moment, quickly evaluated his situation, and then he thought about it.
He glanced at the people in front of him coldly, then snorted coldly, and put away the tiger sword.
"I'll spare you this time. If you dare to do evil again next time, Li will see one and kill one!"
Zhang Gui said with an expressionless face, and hurriedly bowed to Li Xiao and said a while later, and then hurriedly took Zhou Qi and his group of people away quickly.
Watching them leave, the hotel guy who never dared to speak clapped and laughed: "Li Zhuangshi, you are so good! These local snakes are used to being rampant in Jinzhou, but they didn't expect that you can only helpless against Li Zhuangshi. It's really awesome, Xiaoke admires you very much!"
Li Xiao smiled and asked the clerk: "I don't know where this group of people came from, but they are so fierce. How dare you rob property in the street?"
After hearing Li Xiao’s question, the guy quickly pulled him aside and whispered: “The hero doesn’t know that this group of people is a local snake in Jinzhou, and has been rampant in the streets of Jinzhou for many years. I don’t know when this group of people was hired by Zhang Zhang, the shopkeeper of this big light cloth store. The background behind Zhang Zhang is even more serious. There are big people covering him. I heard that the business is also very big, and he is also with the Tartars there..."
When the guy said this, he suddenly stopped talking and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?"
"Heroic, I heard that this is a small matter. Just listen to it. I heard that this shopkeeper is actually just an errand runner, not the real owner of the Daguang Bushang. There are others who plan to do business there to do it." The guy's voice lowered even more, with a mysterious look on his face.
"oh."
Li Xiao's eyes were deep, and after responding, he didn't ask anything more. Then he paid the money for the wine and food, and rewarded the client with a tip of one cent, and left the hotel.
"The hero is walking slowly, welcome to come again next time." The guy collected the money and tips, smiled so hard that he nodded and bowed to the departing Li Xiao.
Li Xiao chose to leave from the east gate. The soldiers guarding the city recognized him just now. When he saw him leaving the city, he nodded and smiled at him repeatedly, as if he wanted to deliberately give Zu Wan'er's friend a good impression, which made Li Xiao laugh secretly.
After leaving the city gate, Li Xiao rode his horse and whipped it. Following the instructions of the hotel clerk, he turned around and ran southeast. His target was the Zhongtun Station of Guangning.
The wilderness is vast, the sky is high and the clouds are light. Li Xiao is galloping on horseback. He saw that on both sides of the official road, the sorghum, like a green gauze tent, swaying in the breeze under the scorching sun, rolling green waves after green. The hot wind is wrapped in the green breath of sorghum that is filling the grout, blowing towards his face, but it makes people feel refreshed.
Halfway through the way to Guangning Zhongtun Station, Li Xiao had a thought. In a deserted place, Li Xiao buried the gold and silver he carried under a wild tree and marked it.
He only left dozens of taels of silver on his body for common use, and Li Xiao had his last resort to doing so.
After all, the silver is white and the eyes are black. An unknown new soldier with such a huge sum of money on his body is afraid that anyone who sees him will be jealous and suspicious, and will only cause unnecessary trouble for himself. Now burying gold and silver here, Li Xiao thought to himself that when he is about to grow and grow, he will put them in handy.
