Chapter 32 Chapter Thirty-first

He ran back to the city just now, and the gold plate of "Zhuangyuan Building" was still shining. He rushed in, rushed upstairs. There was no blood, no dead people, and no post-war traces upstairs, only the fat shopkeeper was still standing at the top of the building, looking at him in surprise. Did Cao Hanyu and the Yuan family brothers not attack at all, or were they beaten away? The younger brother didn't ask, just grinned at the fat shopkeeper, and said: "The freebies are here again, let me open another table for the same banquet as before, if I make a mistake, I will copy this Zhuangyuan building."

The banquet was set up again. Eight hot stir-fries, four meat and four vegetables, eight small plates to serve with wine, and six major dishes, shrimp roe and black ginseng, bird's nest and shark's fin, whole chicken and duck, all of which are not missing. But the younger brother didn't even eat a bite this time.He is drinking. Twenty catties of bamboo leaf green, he almost drank the jar of dust in one breath.He is almost drunk. What about Xie Xiaofeng?Why didn't Xie Xiaofeng come?Are you with that bitch?With such a woman to accompany him, why did he still come? The younger brother laughed again, laughing loudly.

Suddenly there was a "rumbling" car sound outside the building, and a group of escort cars were passing by the street. Where there is a dart car, there is a dart flag. The dart flag is a talisman for walking darts, and it is also the honor of the dart board. The red flags are planted on the dart cars of this line. A red flag redder than blood. The red flag on the first bodyguard car was waving in the wind, with a big "iron" character embroidered on the front. Embroidered on the reverse is a sharp silver sword and twenty-eight cloud-piercing arrows. This is the order flag of the chief escort of the Red Flag Escort Bureau. With this flag, it means that the "Iron Riding Kuaijian" from Weizhen Jianghu personally escorted the escort on horseback.

With this flag in place, no one would dare to stretch out their hands to move the darts, even if they don't look far away.With this flag, there are red flag bodyguards all over eighteen places in the north and south of the river.So this is not only the honor of one person, but also the life of more than 2,000 people in the eighteen escort agencies.No matter who insulted this bodyguard flag, more than 2,000 people in the Red Flag Bodyguard Agency would fight him desperately. The little brother laughed again, laughing loudly, as if he suddenly thought of a very interesting thing. Amidst the loud laughter, he jumped off the tall building, rushed into the ranks of the escort carts, knocked off the escort escort who was guarding the flag in front with his fist, rolled over in the air, took off the escort flag on the cart, and with a twist of his hands, unexpectedly The silver sword and red flag, which is so powerful in the north and south of the river, was broken into two sections at once.

The sound of wheels, horseshoes, and yelling of troopers all suddenly stopped. A dark cloud covered the day, and there was a flash of lightning in the dark cloud, and a thunderbolt struck from mid-air, shaking people's ears and drums. But everyone seemed to be unable to hear the deafening thunder, and all of them stared at the young man on the roof of the car and the two broken flags in his hand. No one could have imagined that such a thing would really happen, no one could have imagined that there would be such a desperate lunatic in the world who would dare to do such a thing. The flag guard who was knocked off his saddle with a punch has already struggled to get up from the ground. This man is named Zhang Mingshi. He has been a dart for 20 years, and he is the most experienced and prudent in his work. For 20 years, he has been licking blood with a knife head, and he has gone through life and death, regardless of the wind and waves. After so much experience, his peers gave him a nickname, "Solid Wooden Man".

That's not to say that he is dull and dull, but that no matter what happens to him, he can keep calm and respond calmly.But now even this solid wooden man's face is ashen, and his whole body is shaking non-stop. This incident was really unexpected and astonishing. Everyone was caught off guard when it happened, and everyone was confused when the incident happened. Otherwise, even if the younger brother has great skills, he might not be able to succeed with one move. The body was dismembered by knives and chopped into meat paste. Seeing the expressions on these people's faces, my younger brother couldn't laugh, but felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, and his whole body was frozen and stiff.

There was another thunderbolt.In the ear-shattering thunderbolt, it seemed as if someone said the word "kill", followed by a "choke", dozens of swords were unsheathed at the same time, this sound was more terrifying than the thunderbolt just now. With the lights of the sword, people came rushing forward, front, back, left, and all directions. Although the footsteps were hurried, the order was not chaotic at all, and they surrounded the escort vehicle in no time. Just relying on this kind of unruffled tactics, one can already imagine that the Red Flag Bodyguard Agency's reputation is not a fluke.

Zhang Shi also gradually regained his composure. The forty-three bodyguards of the bodyguards were all waiting for him. As long as he gave an order, they would slash with knives and splatter the ground with blood. The younger brother laughed instead.He is not afraid of death.He was looking for death. Although he was a little nervous and fearful just now, he felt an indescribable relief in his heart. ——All the troubles of honor, disgrace, grievance and hatred in the world are now a thing of the past. ——It doesn't matter if I'm a lunatic or a little bastard without a father. He simply sat down on the roof of the car, laughed and said, "Your knives are out of their sheaths, why don't you come over and kill me?"

This is what everyone wants to ask Zhang Shi. In the bodyguard agency, he has the oldest qualifications and the most experience. Zhang Shi was still hesitating, and said slowly: "It's not difficult to kill you, we can turn you into a flesh with a simple gesture of our hands, but..." Beside him, an escort with a Sangmen sword in his hand hurriedly asked, "How about it?" Zhang Shi pondered and said: "I think this person seems to have come to die intentionally." Sangmen Sword said: "So what?" Zhang Shidao: "A person who intends to die must have hidden secrets. You must ask clearly. Besides, there may be someone behind him who is in charge."

Sangmenjian sneered and said, "Then let's cripple his hands and legs first." He stretched out his long sword, and he was the first to charge forward. The sword light flashed and pierced the younger brother's Huantiao acupoint. The younger brother was not afraid of death, but he couldn't be humiliated before he died, so he suddenly kicked his Sangmen Sword away.This kick came out suddenly and without a trace, it is exactly the "Flying Kicking Meteor Kick" among the seven great stunts of Jiangnan Murong, even shooting stars can be kicked, so you can see how fast it is.

But besides the Sangmen Sword, there are twenty-seven sharp knives and fifteen sharp weapons waiting for him. When the Sangmen Sword flew out obliquely, three knives and two swords stabbed straight at his joints. The light of the knives was flying, and the light of the swords was like a horse. Suddenly there was a sound of "ding", and the three knives and two swords were suddenly broken into two pieces. It bounced off the roof of the car and rolled limply on the ground. It turned out to be two pearls. Suddenly there was a person on the roof of the car, with a pale face, holding a pearl flower from the woman's temple in his hand, the sharp-eyed person could already see that five pearls were missing. Five weapons were broken, but there was only one sound. This man was able to use five small pearls to break five fine steel swords at the same time in an instant.Those who make a living in the Escort are all well-informed veterans, but such kung fu is not only unheard of, but also unimaginable. There was another shock, and the rain poured down. The man stood there motionless, with no expression on his face. The younger brother looked at him coldly: "You are here again." The man said, "I'm here again." The heavy rain was torrential, and the raindrops hit their heads one by one, and ran down their cheeks. Are the expressions on their faces sad or happy?Is it anger or hatred?Nobody can see it. Everyone can only see that this person must be an unfathomable master of martial arts, and must have a close relationship with the boy who broke the dart flag. Zhang Shi suppressed his companion first, even the resentful Sangmenjian didn't dare to act rashly, he just asked: "My friend's name?" "My last name is Xie." Zhang Shi's face changed, and there was only one master surnamed Xie: "Could it be that your Excellency came from Cuiyun Peak, Lushui Lake, and Shenjian Villa?" The man said: "Yes." Zhang Shi's voice was trembling: "Could it be that Your Excellency is the third young master of the Xie family?" The man said, "I am Xie Xiaofeng." Xie Xiaofeng!These three words are like some kind of magical spell, no one dares to move after hearing these three words. Suddenly, a person came galloping out of the heavy rain and shouted: "The chief escort has arrived, the chief escort has arrived..." Twenty years ago, when the thieves from the Eighteen Villages in Lianshan gathered together, when their arrogance was at its peak, a man suddenly appeared, one man and one rider, and broke through the mountains alone. With a silver sword and twenty-eight cloud-piercing arrows, he leveled the In the Eighteenth Village of Shanshan, there are as many as nineteen large and small wounds. But he is not dead yet, unexpectedly he still has the energy to hunt down and kill Ba Tianbao, the most ferocious of the bandits in the mountains, without stopping day and night, he took Ba Tianbao's head 800 li away.This person is the chief escort of the Red Flag Escort Bureau, Tie Zhongqi, the "Iron Rider and Quick Sword". Hearing the arrival of their chief escort, more than forty escorts and troopers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.They all believed that their chief escort would be able to solve this matter. Xie Xiaofeng sighed in his heart.He knew that his younger brother had done something wrong, but he couldn't say anything; he didn't want to take care of it, but he couldn't.He must not see this child die at the hands of others, because the only person he feels sorry for in this world is this child. Raindrops are like curtains. Four people held oilcloth umbrellas and walked slowly out of the heavy rain. The person in front, with white cloth socks, black cloth shoes, and a square face, was the honest boy who was at the same table with Cao Hanyu in the Zhuangyuan Building. . Why didn't Tie Zhongqi come?Why is he here? Seeing this young man, all the bodyguards and troopers under the Red Flag Bodyguard Bureau bowed down to salute, everyone looked very respectful, and everyone respected him very much. Everyone greeted him respectfully: "Chief Escort." Could it be that the Red Flag Escort actually replaced this seemingly stupid and honest man? There are more than 2,000 people in the Red Flag Escort, most of them are masters who used to roam the rivers and lakes in the past. Heroes? This certainly makes sense. The bodyguard flag was destroyed and the bodyguard master was humiliated. Even Zhang Shi, an old Jianghu, would inevitably panic when encountering such a thing. But this young man was able to come at a leisurely and slow pace, and on his square face, there was not even a hint of panic and anger. Young people in their twenties can do it. It was raining heavily, and the streets were filled with mud and water. The young man walked over slowly. On a pair of black cloth shoes with white soles, only the toe of the shoes was stained with muddy water. If there is no extremely brilliant lightness kung fu, how could he do it in the unfathomable city? Xie Xiaofeng's heart sank.He has found that this young man may be more difficult to deal with than Tie Zhongqi, and it is not easy to solve this matter. The boy didn't even look at him.He knew that the bodyguard flag was destroyed, and that the person who folded the flag was right in front of his eyes, yet he seemed completely unaware and invisible.Holding an oilcloth umbrella in his hand, he walked over slowly, and asked indifferently: "Who is the bodyguard guarding the flag today?" Zhang Shi immediately stepped out of the crowd, bowed and said, "It's me." The boy said: "How old are you this year?" Zhang Shidao: "I am a ox, and I am fifty this year." The young man said: "How many years have you been in the escort agency?" Zhang Shidao: "I have been here since the old escort head founded this escort agency." The boy said: "Yes, it is twenty-six years." Zhang Shidao: "It has been twenty-six years." The young man sighed and said: "My late father has a strong temper, it is not easy for you to be with him for twenty-six years." Zhang Shi lowered his head, with a look of sadness on his face, unable to speak for a long time. Hearing this, the younger brother has already heard that the old bodyguard they mentioned is undoubtedly Tie Zhongqi, the "Iron Rider and Kuaijian" who founded the Red Flag Bodyguard Bureau. The boy called him "the late father", so of course he is his son. The father died and the son succeeded, so even though this young man is young, he has already taken over the Red Flag Escort Bureau. Old Tie's lingering prestige is still there, and everyone can't dissatisfy him.The strange thing is, at this moment, how could they suddenly talk about their daily routines, but they didn't mention a word about the destruction of the bodyguard flag and the humiliation of the bodyguard master. However, Xie Xiaofeng has already heard that there is really no deep meaning in the few homely words asked by the young man. It seems that Zhang Shi's sadness is not for mourning the love of the old bodyguard Tie, but for regretting and guilty for his dereliction of duty. The young man sighed, and suddenly asked: "Did you get married when you were thirty-nine years old?" Zhang Shidao: "Yes." The young man said: "I heard that your wife is gentle and virtuous, and can cook good dishes." Zhang Shidao: "She can cook a few ordinary home-cooked dishes deliciously." The boy said: "How many children did she have for you?" Zhang Shidao: "Three children, two boys and one girl." The boy said: "With such a good wife and loving mother to discipline, your children will surely keep their duties in the future." Zhang Shidao: "I hope so." The young man said: "When my late father passed away, my mother always felt that there was no capable person to accompany her. If you don't object, you might as well ask your wife to go to the inner house to accompany her old man." Zhang Shi suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times "bang, bang, bang", as if he was extremely grateful for the young man's arrangement. The young man didn't stop him, and after he finished kowtowing, he asked, "What other wishes do you have?" Zhang Shidao: "Not anymore." The boy looked at him, sighed again, and waved: "You go." Zhang Shidao: "Yes." After saying this word, suddenly a spray of blood splashed out, Zhang Shi's man had fallen down, and the sword in his hand had cut his own throat. The little brother's hands and feet are cold.Until now, he didn't understand why the young man asked Zhang Shi those commonplace things. The strict discipline of the Red Flag Bodyguard Agency is well known throughout the world, and Zhang Shi's dereliction of duty in protecting the flag should have been severely punished. But this young man can make an old man who has worked hard in the bodyguard for twenty-six years immediately commit suicide with a few simple words, and he is willing and grateful. This young man's deep scheming, clever means, and ruthless style are really unimaginable. The blood on the ground was washed away by the heavy rain in a blink of an eye, but the look of fear on the bodyguard's face could not be washed away no matter how heavy the rain was. Obviously terrified. The boy's face was still expressionless, and he said lightly: "Where is Head Hu?" A person behind him kept his head down all the time, and covered his face with an oilcloth umbrella. Hearing this, he immediately knelt down, threw his body to the ground, and buried himself in the blood, saying, "Hu Fei." The young man didn't look back at him, and asked again: "How long have you been in the Escort?" Hu Fei said, "Less than ten years." The boy said: "How much is your monthly salary?" Hu Fei said: "According to the rules, it should be twenty-four taels. Thanks to the reward from the head of the bodyguard, six taels are added every month." The boy said: "What is the total value of the suit you are wearing plus the belt, boots and hat?" Hu Fei said, "Ten...twelve taels." The young man said, "How much does your house in the west city cost every month?" Hu Fei's face was distorted, rain and cold sweat rolled down at the same time, and even his voice was hoarse. The young man said: "I know you are a person who is very particular about food. Even the cook at home was snatched from the Zhuangyuan building at a high price. You don't have two or three hundred taels of silver a month. I'm afraid it will be difficult to live on." Hu Fei said: "Then... that was brought out by someone else, I don't even have to pay for one or two." The young man smiled and said: "It seems that you are quite capable. You can actually get people to spend hundreds of taels of silver every month for you to enjoy, but..." His smile gradually disappeared: "My friends in the Jianghu, how do you know that you have such a great ability? When you see a bodyguard in the Red Flag Bodyguard Bureau with such a big show, you will definitely wonder why the Red Flag Bodyguard Bureau is so rich. , Did he secretly collude with the heroes of the green forest and earn some unclear money?" Hu Fei was trembling all over when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "This kind of thing will never happen again in the future." The young man said: "Why? Is it because the person who paid for you has been taken away by someone else?" Hu Fei was bleeding all over his face, neither daring to admit nor deny it.The young man said: "It's a good thing that someone pays for you and lets you enjoy it. The escort bureau can't control you, but you actually watched your people being taken away without even daring to avenge you. Isn't that a long-term thing?" Destroy the prestige of others, and destroy the ambition of our Escort?" Hu Fei's eyes lit up, and he immediately said loudly: "That kid is also the one who destroyed our escort flag." The boy said: "Then why don't you go over and kill him?" Hu Fei said, "Yes." He had wanted to say this a long time ago, now that the head of the escort was backing him up, what was he afraid of, he pulled out his waist knife with his backhand, and jumped up. Suddenly, the sword light flashed, and a sword stabbed obliquely, it seemed that it was not too fast.But when he dodged, the sword had pierced through his left rib, pierced his throat, blood splashed and turned into a rain of blood. He didn't even see who stabbed the sword. But everyone else saw it.As soon as Hu Fei's men jumped up, the young man suddenly pulled out the saber of the person behind him with his backhand, and stabbed with the sword casually, without even turning his head to look at it. The timing of this sword is not bad, and the position of the shot is even more ingenious.But what was really terrifying was not this sword, but the ruthlessness of his strike. The younger brother suddenly laughed again, and said with a big laugh: "You kill your own subordinates, can you still teach me to be afraid? Even if you kill all the more than 2,000 people in the Red Flag Bodyguard Bureau, you will also follow me." It doesn't matter at all." The young man ignored him at all, and he hadn't even glanced at his younger brother until now, as if he didn't know that the dart flag was broken by him, and asked: "Did Xie Xiaofeng and Hero Xie also come?" The bodyguard who had been standing behind him and holding an oilcloth umbrella for him immediately replied: "Yes." The boy said: "Which one is Xie Daxia?" The bodyguard said: "It's the one standing on the roof." The boy said: "No." The bodyguard said: "Isn't it?" The young man said: "With Hero Xie's status, if he came here and encountered such a thing, he should have spoken up and judged right from wrong. Why did he stand there silently? Hero Xie is such a person who gloats and watches from the other side ?” Xie Xiaofeng suddenly smiled and said, "Good scolding." The escort car was four zhang away, and there were still seventeen or eight people in the middle, but when he finished speaking these three words, his person suddenly appeared in front of the young man, as long as he stretched out his hand, he could pat him on the shoulder . Although the boy's expression changed, he immediately regained his composure, and he didn't take half a step back. Xie Xiaofeng said: "The head of the security guard is also surnamed Tie?" The young man said: "I'm going to be honest when I get off the iron." Xie Xiaofeng said: "I am Xie Xiaofeng." Although the bodyguards knew that this man's martial arts were unfathomable, even though they knew that Xie Xiaofeng had also come here, they still couldn't help being moved when they heard him say these three words himself.
