Chapter 285 Help the young escort leader open his mouth!
"robber!
"Evil thief!"
"Killing people, setting fires, robbing houses, and you still have the nerve to call yourself a chivalrous man!"
"Songfeng Temple is a den of thieves, Yu Canghai is the old thief leader, you thieves and grandchildren of thieves, God has eyes, you will be punished sooner or later..."
There were three carriages parked in the backyard, with about twenty people coming in and out.
They were all men from western Sichuan wearing green robes and straw sandals. They turned a deaf ear to the shouting and curses, and filled the carriages with the gold, silver, jewelry and rare items they had collected. The looted property included the Nanchang Branch's own silver vault, as well as the escorted items entrusted by clients.
It doesn’t matter, they are all Qingcheng Sect’s spoils anyway.
A round-faced man came out from the inner hall, playing with two jade horses in his hands, and walked to the side of the carriage.
The square-faced man sitting on the shaft of the cart asked, "Brother Pi, what good stuff did you get?"
The round-faced man handed him the jade horse and said, "It is made of top-grade mutton-fat jade, carved by a famous craftsman. It is worth a hundred gold coins. It is hard to come by. I think you should not put it into the public treasury. It will be the same if you give it to Master privately."
He added, "Even if Junior Brother Ji and I are honoring Master together."
The square-faced man smiled upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly: "Brother is really thoughtful."
The Qingcheng Sect is a century-old sect with complex roots and many elders from previous generations. Although Yu Canghai is the sect leader, he must follow the rules when spending money from the public treasury and cannot do as he pleases.
The two Qingcheng Sect brothers who were in the lead, the square-faced one was called Ji Renxiang and the round-faced one was called Pi Renqiu. They were the ones who pulled Lin Pingzhi out of the dog hole.
Pi Renqiu laughed softly and said, "I have left four bags of gold and silver. Come to my room tonight and I will give you half of them."
Ji Renxiang was born in a humble family and joined the Qingcheng Sect late. He had little experience and thought that all his fellow disciples were obediently bound by the sect rules. However, after being enlightened by Senior Brother Pi, he felt that the clouds had been cleared and a new world was opening up. With a sword in his hand, how could he lack money to use it?
"Thank you, senior brother."
"Hehe, you and I are brothers of the same mind, so how can we expect less benefits? This time we go to Hengshan, there is a treasure land that is famous all over the world. All the men in the martial arts world are yearning for it. When the time comes, I will take you to see it."
Ji Renxiang asked expectantly, "That must be a sacred place for martial arts, right?"
Pi Renqiu was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "A sacred place for martial arts? You are right. You can indeed learn a lot of moves here."
The two of them supervised the ordinary disciples to move the property while chatting and making small talk, but were repeatedly interrupted by shouting and cursing.
"You bastard, kill me if you can."
"As long as I am alive, I will go to Sichuan and burn down Songfeng Temple sooner or later..."
Pi Renqiu frowned and looked sideways to the back of the carriage. There stood a wooden man that was usually used by escorts to practice martial arts. A young beggar had his arms spread out and was tied up with hemp ropes to form the shape of the Chinese character "太". Only his mouth could move, and he was still shouting and cursing.
Ji Renxiang cursed: "This son of a bitch has a stinky mouth!"
Pi Renqiu said, "He killed Junior Brother Yu Renyan in Fuzhou Prefecture. Senior Brother sent out a picture and ordered everyone to conduct a thorough investigation. I was just worrying about how to take the credit for this, but who would have thought that he would come to me. It's really God's help."
When Lin Pingzhi saw the two men coming over, he struggled hard for a few times and felt sad. His parents, whom he had regarded as his support since childhood, were abducted by the Qingcheng Sect. He was the only one left to save them, but he did not expect to succeed before he fell into the hands of the enemy.
Pi Renqiu stopped Ji Renxiang from drawing his sword and sneered, "Keep him and take him to Hengshan to be dealt with by the master."
Ji Renxiang frowned and said, "But this son of a bitch has a very poisonous mouth."
Pi Renqiu's eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly smiled and said, "It's easy to deal with a poisonous mouth. I have a folk remedy in my hometown that can cure a poisonous mouth."
Lin Pingzhi felt disdainful when he saw the two men discussing how to deal with him. His escort agency was destroyed and his parents were captured. Now that things had come to this, there was no hope for revenge. There was nothing he cared about in this world anymore. He only wished for a quick death. What else was there to worry about?
"Kill me if you want, chop me with swords and slashes. Anyone who frowns, blinks, or shrinks his neck is not a good descendant of the Lin family!"
"A good descendant of the Lin family?"
Pi Renqiu chuckled, looked around, picked up a clothesline from the ground, walked to the dog hole, stuck the wooden fork into the pit, twisted it twice, and picked up a pile of still wet dog shit, which was black and yellow, and as sticky as ham covered with stored soybean paste.
Ji Renxiang covered his nose and quickly stepped aside.
"What are you going to do?"
"What are you..."
There was fear in Lin Pingzhi's eyes. He discovered that there were still things in this world that he cared about, such as the clothes fork that was getting closer and closer, with the big piece of dog shit on it.
"What do I do?"
"Don't you like dogs barking?"
"You are a good grandson of the Lin family, right? I will let you taste something good."
Pi Renqiu grinned and put the clothes fork under his nose, almost touching his upper lip. Lin Pingzhi raised his head and retracted his neck, trying to get away from the thing, moving backwards little by little with the wooden stake.
"Junior Brother Ji, help the young escort leader open his mouth!"
"Good."
Ji Renxiang walked up to the wooden man, and Lin Pingzhi opened his eyes wide, wanting to see how the other party would help him open his mouth.
"Mr. Lin, how old are you this year?"
Lin Pingzhi clenched his teeth tightly and said nothing.
"Oh!"
A hook punch hit the stomach, and the breath surged up.
"call!"
Lin Pingzhi's mind was blank, and he was gasping for breath like a fish out of water.
"Brother, get out of the way."
In fact, before Pi Renqiu could remind him, Ji Renxiang had already jumped to the side.
"The wind blows through the pines!"
Pi Renqiu used the Songfeng sword technique, using the fork as a sword, and stabbed at Lin Pingzhi's face.
Straight talk!
Straight to the throat.
"Hahaha, come and see, the young head of the Lin family has eaten shit..."
Lin Pingzhi's stomach was churning and he even vomited bile. In a trance, he looked at the Qingcheng Sect disciples who had gathered around him. They were avoiding the boy's saliva mixed with dog feces in disgust, with smiles on their faces that showed how proud they were.
Compared to the stink of dog shit, the humiliation is even more unbearable...
His face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot: "Revenge! As long as I can survive, I will kill everyone in the Qingcheng Sect!"
This humiliation gave Lin Pingzhi a strong will to live, not for anything else, just for revenge. At this time, a Qingcheng Sect disciple came running and said hurriedly.
"Brother Pi, Brother Ji, it's bad. There's a flood in the front yard."
"How did the fire start?"
"I don't know. The room full of silks and satins suddenly caught fire for some unknown reason."
The two looked up and saw a straight column of smoke rising from the front yard.
This Gan Bureau is located on Dongmen Street, the most prosperous street in Nanchang. The surrounding houses are densely populated. If it were to catch fire, the consequences would be disastrous. Although the Qingcheng Sect is not afraid of being investigated by the government, it would affect innocent people and would be contrary to its reputation as a righteous and chivalrous sect if the news spread to the world.
"Junior Brother Ji, you take care of the carriage and this kid. I will take the rest of the brothers to put out the fire."
"Brother, go ahead and leave this to me."
Pi Renqiu nodded and rushed to the front yard with the disciples of Qingcheng Sect to put out the fire.
Ji Renxiang drew his sword and looked around vigilantly to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
"boom!"
Not long after, a sound was heard outside the yard.
The black shadow jumped onto the wall nimbly.
She was a slender woman in black, with a ponytail and a green spear inlaid with kingfisher feathers.
She looked towards the courtyard and saw only one Qingcheng Sect disciple guarding the carriage. Her strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west had worked.
"who?"
Ji Renxiang was the first to notice the woman in black on the wall. He thought that she was up to no good and her whereabouts were unknown. He could only try every means to delay time until Senior Brother Pi brought back people for support.
"The Qingcheng Sect is here to do business. If you want to learn from me, please state your name first."
"So much nonsense!"
The woman in black was as agile as a leopard. She leaped down from the top of the wall, grasped the red tassel at the end of the spear, and shook it out violently. The spear head flashed with a cold light, jumped like a lightning, made a sound of breaking through the air, and flew straight to the chest of Ji Renxiang who was two meters away.
"Face the wind and listen to the waves!"
He leaped back to avoid the attack, then took three steps forward to the left, swung his sword sideways, and slashed at the wooden spear shaft...
Ji Renxiang was born in a humble family, but was accepted as Yu Canghai's disciple because he had some talent in swordsmanship. This move 'Listening to the Waves in the Wind' is quite difficult to practice in the Songfeng swordsmanship, and there are only a few people in the Qingcheng Sect who have successfully practiced it.
It's just that he started too late.
Although his sword skills were exquisite, they were not shocking enough, and his shallow internal strength and lack of energy became his fatal weaknesses.
The road of martial arts is full of pitfalls and dangers at every step. If you want to become proficient in it, the right time, place and people are essential.
It's a lucky sign, but there's no chance of this happening.
At the seventeenth move, the long sword was knocked away by the spear head and stuck into the courtyard wall.
Ji Renxiang asked with difficulty: "This move...what is this move called?"
The woman in black tightly gripped the gun handle and said in a cold voice: "Du family spear technique - Angry Kui hanging corner!"
Ji Renxiang had never heard of the Du family's spear skills. He looked down at the green spear that pierced his chest. The spear head, with a cold glow, had been completely penetrated, and blood flowed down the green spear shaft.
His breath was so weak that he knew he was going to die.
Life and death are unpredictable and only take a moment. It is really hard to accept this.
"Pfft!"
Du Xiaochai didn't say any more words, drew out his spear, and Ji Ren fell to the ground with him.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
Seeing the young man's pale face, she shook her spear, and the tip of the spear was like a bird's beak, and in a few pecks she pecked through the thin hemp ropes that bound his hands and feet.
Lin Pingzhi staggered a few times, and after steadying himself, he immediately ran to the wall and drew out Ji Renxiang's sword. He looked at the woman in black warily, with only suspicion and indifference in his eyes, without any gratitude.
"Who are you? Why did you save me?"
"You...what are you planning? Are you also going to rob my Lin family..."
Seeing this, the woman in black sneered and jumped onto the wall with a spear in hand.
"The people from Qingcheng Sect will be back soon. It's up to you whether you want to leave or not."
Lin Pingzhi looked back and saw that the column of smoke that had been standing straight up in the front yard had dispersed. The fire had indeed stopped. He heard the sound of disorderly footsteps. It must have been Pi Renqiu who reacted and guessed that this was a diversionary tactic.
"Would you like to go?"
The woman in black was standing on the wall, holding a spear, and looking at the young man leisurely.
Lin Pingzhi didn't think about anything else, put away his sword, and jumped towards the high wall a few times, but he could only wear the long boots of the woman in black.
Normally, he could just run a few steps and climb over a wall like this one, but he had not eaten enough in the past ten days and was already weak. He had just been captured by the Qingcheng Sect and had his hands and feet tied for an hour or so, so his blood circulation was blocked. This height became a natural barrier in front of him.
"He wants to escape!"
"Catch that boy!"
People from the Qingcheng Sect have arrived.
Lin Pingzhi looked at the woman in black pleadingly, but she looked down at him, unmoved, with a faint smile on her face.
She is not stunningly beautiful, but has a unique temperament of a beautiful girl next door, and the more you look at her, the more attractive she becomes.
The woman in black seemed to be completely oblivious to the boy's predicament, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to leave or not? If you don't leave, you will never be able to escape again."
Lin Pingzhi's eyes turned slightly cold. He glanced at the pursuers from the Qingcheng Sect behind him, then looked at the gun-wielding woman on the wall, and his expression gradually became numb.
"I'm leaving!"
He took one last glance at the azure sky, knelt down on his knees, stuck his butt out, and like a pig worm, he followed the way he came and crawled out of the dog hole.
On the long street, two fast horses galloped towards the city gate.
Fortunately, the soldiers of Nanchang Prefecture were very lazy during these few days, the city gates were open, and no one stopped them.
The two riders and horses galloped towards East Lake on the outskirts of the city.
