Chapter 13 0013

"I said Ba Ye, please don't worry." Bao Ye leaned half of his body on the arm of the grand master's chair, resting his cheek on the palm of his hand, revealing a section of white inner sleeve, and said leisurely: "If the fourth judge is a smart person, he will It’s not like Li Shikun, who went to Wanjialou just to get a coffin for himself...Except for the gun of our Guye, I also have about 300 guns in my hand. The south gate...the rest of the places are all guarded by people." Guan Baye also turned sideways, and said with a wry smile: "Baoye, who here doesn't know that Wanjialou is an iron barrel? I'm not worried at all that the fourth judge smashed the shell of the barrel hard, I'm just afraid that he will find the hole in the bottom of the barrel. There is a hole, let alone a small hole, the barrel is no longer a barrel!... There are so many people in the meeting, if something happens, where will your guns be thrown? He four judges mixed in the den to draw their guns, you Why can’t we shoot people back in the head and throw them at him?! The pile of people has become his shield, and things will be difficult!”

The two of them were talking, when they saw a red light rushing up from the street of Lao Erfang to the east, tracing a row of jagged ridges; someone in the crowd shouted, "East Street is on fire!" I don't know who ran away. He came over and called Little Guy, who said that the place where the fire broke out was the Zhanfang near the old second-fang barn. If we didn't rush to push the water hose, (the water hose is an old-fashioned fire extinguisher.) I'm afraid the barn might not be saved. "The fire started too abruptly," Ye Ye said, "I'm afraid it was the fourth judge who ordered his subordinates to set fire to take advantage of the chaos. Da Banya just caught an undercover agent, I'll go and interrogate him first."

"I have to get people to put out the fire first, and I can't let the fire spread to the barn." Little Guy said, "I think I'll leave it to you to clean up here, Shibao." Seeing a fire on East Street, the crowd in the square rolled around like a pot of porridge. The seven bright sedan chairs, the seven classes of gongs and drums, and some people at the Huagu Festival were very calm. The bearded Niu En yelled, and the seven sedan chairs Then retreated to the bottom of the stone steps in front of the building, and spread it into a fan shape. Each of them took out a pistol, a duckbill gun and a scorpion from the shadow box under the sedan chair; the iron door behind Master Bao opened, and Wan Liang came over and urged: "Baoye, you and Guan Baye and these old buddies who run the legs go into the house. The forty quick guns downstairs are all fired and waiting for the four judges!"

"Let's not be in a hurry," Baoye said, "The second room's gun team has been pulled out. Little Guy went to collect water dragons to put out the fire. Neither he nor the group around him had guns; you immediately call upstairs and dial 20. Take a gun and lead the street patrol, if something happens, you can help the young master. Now apart from the fire on the East Street, there is no sign of the four judges, so we can't get flustered and mess up the situation." Although Mr. Bao could hold his breath, the crowd around the venue was in a mess. The fire spread quickly, turning half of the gray clouds in the sky into red; the shadows of houses swayed on people's eyebrows and eyes, which could be heard from afar Seeing the sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong, tongues of fire rushed up, and a large burst of sparks wrapped in thick smoke drifted southward, and a corner of the world wrapped in the dark night turned strangely crimson, and the crowd stumbled amidst the crowd. , knocked down the person carrying the high pole, and the lantern fell on the person. A woman with a fire on her back ran towards the building screaming in panic, and fell down not far in front of the bright sedan chair.

A bullet from a shuttle gun came from nowhere, passing over the head of the person, and hit the stone wall of the tall building. A man who guarded Bao Ye was shot and fell on the back of the teacher's chair where Bao Ye had sat. superior.Master Zhen, who was holding a gun in his hand, hid behind the chair in fright.Lei Yipao, the leader of the Liuhe gang, snatched down the stone steps, turned over the woman whose back was on fire, and dragged her sideways. The fire on her back was dragged out, but a long black mark was left behind. "Get down! Get down!" Guan Baye said. Only Master Bao was holding his bag in one hand and a leather robe fork in the other, and he was still standing on the high platform looking for the gunman.In any case, Guan Baye was right. Even though Wanjialou had prepared in advance, if something happened, he could only be beaten with his eyes wide open. Up and down the tall building, there were more than a hundred long and short guns, facing the crowd, without any help. A gun can fire, it's heartwarming!One gunshot, four gunshots, needless to say, the four judges were forced to get involved on the first night of the Wanjialou Tournament, the sound of gunfire on the street was very dense, and the crowd dispersing outward was like a tide hitting a boulder. Instead, it poured into the square. "Get down, Lord Bao!" Guan Baye hadn't finished speaking, another row of guns swept by, Lord Bao threw the guns away, covered his chest with his hands back, and stumbled two steps.He fell over a grand teacher's chair, and he fell on the stone steps like that.

"Bao Ye was shot!" Someone said.A girl screamed and threw herself on Baoye. It was Zhenye's younger sister Wan Hanying.When Guan Baye rolled over to support Baoye, three rows of bullets extinguished a torch on the stone wall; Baoye's hand covering his chest slowly let go, and a spring of blood gushed upwards, staining the He wears a purple satin tufted flower jacket. "How is he?" Wan Hanying cried and asked. "He... finished...!" Guan Baye gritted his teeth and said. Gunshots rang out from all directions, and the Wanjialou gun team saw the bandits rushing through the crowd, and there was no place to shoot.How many bandits have come?No one knows; where are the four judges?No one knew that all the members of the Wanjialou gun team were circling under the four judges' whips like donkey blindfolds.The four judges only used six or seven pistols to surround the hundred or so guns led by Master Bao and Master Zhen in front of the square. Two bursts of fire poured down, and first Baoye was put down on the platform, leaving a hesitant Grandpa Zhen is even more helpless.

"I said Baye... Shibao fell down, what can I do?" Master Zhen said tremblingly, "You heard the gunshots on all sides like this! I can shrink the gun team here, you four How many streets have been swept away by the judge?!" The red and poisonous flames shook people everywhere, and many trampled lanterns were still emitting green smoke; after a period of confusion, 80% of the crowd watching the game had dispersed, leaving some who could not disperse, all huddled in the short Under the promenade at the corner of the street by the stone wall; in the darkness came the sound of knocking on doors and knocking on houses.On the opposite side of the square is a long white powder wall embedded with curved tiles. On the other side of the long wall is the house of the Baoye family. People are on a high place, and beyond the top of the long wall, you can see the gate tower of the Baoye family. The two large pendant lights below are still on, clearly illuminating a piece of water-milled square brick floor and the stone lion heads on both sides of the gate.

"This building has to be guarded," Guan Baye said. "The terrain here is high, and the tiles on all sides can be controlled. Those with short guns don't need to hide here; let Brother Niu En lead them to fight with those on the west side. Ye Ye meets. The undercover guys sent by the four judges, I expect them to rob the stables first, they break the reins and let the horses go, so that Wanjialou can't pull out the pursuers, this is an old game of the four judges!" As soon as Guan Baye mentioned horses, several animals tied to the stone piles on the side of the building neighed at the same time; at the intersection of the street, two or three running figures passed by, shouting all the way: "The north gate is wide open. Judge's horses are kicking over here!" The shouts continued, and a rain of horses' hooves knocked across the street, and the people on the horses threw a spout of fire, two of the running figures fell down on the spot, and the other staggered into the square , and only bumped three or five steps before changing to crawling.Guan Baye was really fast, at the moment when the horses passed by Baoye's gate, he fired his gun horizontally, and the four fires hit the heads of the four horses, and the horses galloped to the west of the white powder long wall. When they came out, there were three more empty horses dragging the reins, and when the other guy planted the horse, one of his feet was stuck in the stirrup, and the corpse was dragging on the side of the running horse.

"Lei Yipao, hurry up and put out the torches on the stone wall behind you!" Guan Baye said, "Quickly, they are going to let them back with their reins!" The wall immediately reined in and ran along the low stone wall on the west side of the square to the west of the building. The sound of horseshoes suddenly stopped, and a loud and rough voice from the other side of the stone wall called out by name: "Baye Guan, the leader of the Liuhe gang, listen! , our boss told us to let the word go, this time we went to Wanjialou, we had already set up spikes and told friends from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes! Please don’t meddle in this matter! If you insist on getting involved, I’m afraid Liuhe The helper can’t see the great lake...At that time, but pickled vegetables and tofu—I have said (salt) first, we can’t blame us!”

"Leave you to pass the message to the fourth judge in one breath," Guan Baye replied in the shadow of the wall of the tall building, "Whether to intervene or not, it is a matter of the surname Guan, don't get involved with my Liuhe gang. The fourth judge has food and drink , There are guns and fire, and those who don't write about martial arts, in the future, all the accounts will be recorded in my Guan Batou, and everyone with the surname Guan will be in charge!" "Guan, we have to tell you," the man said, "Our boss really thinks of you so we can waste our words. If you are really ignorant, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the sun in the east tomorrow morning!"

"You're right!" Guan Baye let out a series of fiery smiles: "—tomorrow morning will be another cloudy day." Seeing that the man was too tough, he softened his words and began to chatter again. Lei Yipao and Xiang Laosan poured a whole box of gunfire, sealing his mouth.The bearded Niu En led seventy or eighty sedan chair bearers and rushed towards the West Street after the group of horses. Lei Yipao also followed Guan Baye's order and led the fourteen men from the Liuhe Gang back to the East Street. Go to the Wanliang shop, inside and outside the high-rise building, there are still Wanliang, the shopkeeper of Wanliang shop, brother and sister Zhenye, and dozens of long guns. After the herd of horses passed by, the gunfire became louder and denser. It was estimated that Judge Zhu Si and his group were all involved tonight; Can the fire be saved in the rain of bullets? !The fire is also getting hotter and hotter. "There are still too many guns here," Guan Baye said to Zhenye: "When you fight with the bandits like the Fourth Judge in the dark, even if you are condescending, you are still a blind man without eyes. He only needs to use a few box guns. Lock you still, and he will be able to rob you at his will!" "Master Bao fell down, I caught a whole shrimp," Master Zhen said, "Fortunately, Master Ba is here, so you can do whatever you want!" "Master Zhen is a weak man," Wan Liang said at the same time, "If you talk about dispatching the gun team and swinging guns in battle, it is really impossible. On the West Street, the young Gu Ye who can shoot is called to the east, and the head of the clan, Bao Ye, is called to be put down here; Ba Ye, you are helping others to the end, and this mess is only you who can solve this mess. Got it sorted out." "As for the trouble shopkeeper, you led the group of people on the platform to climb onto the tiles on both sides in two ways, leaving a few guns at the intersection of each section; the rest walked on the tiles, and when they encountered any movement, they immediately hid. Retreat to the shadow of the ridge and shoot in the dark." Guan Baye said: "Please take care of the buddies on the gun team, pay attention to which direction the gunshots are dense, and rush in that direction. You have to be fast when you go around the street, and whoever moves flexibly and collects quickly will take advantage of this kind of chaos." "Then eighth master you?" Guan Baye shrugged his shoulders: "I'm used to playing singles, and I'm here waiting for Judge Zhu Si." Wan Liang led dozens of long guns, and when they ran along the wing walls on both sides of the high-rise building to attack the roof ridges on both sides, all seven or eight of the opponent's guns spewed fire behind the low stone wall, and the bullets hit the stone wall of the high-rise building to ricochet. , bursting into the air with a piercing sound, the sound made one's heart palpitate.The dozens of long guns that were lying on the roof of the building had a chance to return the guns, but the opponents were all hiding in the dark, either running along the base of the wall or along the pillars of the corridor. The gun team guarding the tall building was called Dongjie. The fire pierced the eyes hard, and shooting the gun was only for the occasion. "Guys, keep an eye on the doorknob, don't let him get away!" "Don't worry, he can't get away!"
