3. Chapter 3 The Courage of the Tiger

Chen Xu's big drink, although it was not as majestic as Zhang Fei in Changban Slope, it also made everyone's ears buzz.

After a while, everyone recovered, and the two children held by Chen Xu were also so frightened that they cried.

Hearing the child's cry, the old woman who took care of the child came back to her senses, ran to Chen Xu, wiped her tears, and was about to kneel down to thank Chen Xu.

Chen Xu was startled, put down the two children, hurriedly supported the old woman, and said, "It's a torture for me to be like this." ”

Although the old woman was supported by Chen Xu, she insisted on bowing down, and said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you for saving my grandson and granddaughter, if it weren't for the strong man, our Xu family would really be doomed." ”

However, how could Chen Xu agree to be bowed down by the elders? Chen Xu hugged the old woman hard and resolutely refused to accept her worship.

Just when the two were at a stalemate, the man on the horse calmed the frightened horse, rode over, lifted the whip and hit Chen Xu.

Chen Hu arrived at this time, and when he saw that someone dared to hit Chen Xu with a horse whip, he couldn't help but be furious, the tiger was stunned, grabbed the flying horse whip, pulled it hard, and tore the person off the horse, and then threw it four or five meters away.

The man on the horse fell from his horse, screamed in pain, and then scolded loudly: "Untouchables, first let my horse be frightened, and then let me fall from the horse, if I don't kill you today, what face will I have in Dongjun in the future?" ”

After Chen Xu heard that the person who was pulled off the horse was Zhang Qi, his face changed.

Zhang Qi's family is a relative of Zhang Gong, one of the ten permanent servants, and they have always done a lot of evil and rampant in the township, and even the Taishou of Dongjun did not dare to touch their Zhang family.

Now Chen Hu has smashed Zhang Qi to pieces, but he has really caused a big disaster.

In the fifth year of Guanghe, it was the time when the Ten Standing Servants controlled the government, and their power was so great that even the scholars, Haoqiang, and the general He Jin of his relatives were afraid of three points.

On the one hand, they sold their officials on a large scale to collect money, and on the other hand, they sent their sons and daughters to work for officials and buy family businesses in various states and counties.

All these people recruited domestic slaves, raised dead soldiers, bullied men and women, forcibly bought land, extorted merchants, and even some scholars and heroes were bullied by the eunuchs' families.

The interests of the scholars were damaged, so they had a party dispute with the eunuchs, but in the end they ended up with a 'disaster of the party', and many famous scholars were implicated, even Qiao Xuan, the patriarch of Qiao Mao.

This is also why although Qiao Mao hates the eunuchs, he does not dare to attack the Zhang family.

Chen Xu knew that the eunuch party was powerful at this time, and he didn't want to cause trouble, and he was thinking about how to ease relations with Zhang Qi, but he didn't want Zhang Qi's words to anger Chen Hu on the side.

Chen Hu had a strong temperament, a tendon, and when he saw Zhang Qi scolding him, he was furious at the moment and scolded: "Even like a bear who believes in the ball, you dare to threaten Naiweng?" ”

'Xinqiu' means 'idiot', and 'Naion' here is also scolding, which means 'your father'. Chen Hu scolded and scolded as he walked towards Zhang Qi and wanted to beat him.

Zhang Qi's two entourages were shocked when they saw their master being thrown to the ground. When he was angry, he saw that the perpetrator was still unwilling, and he was furious at the moment.

They used to bully people, but how could they have been bullied by others? Besides, it is not they who are being bullied today, but their own masters.

As the so-called 'Lord humiliates the ministers to death', the two of them kicked the horse's belly lightly, drew out their long knives and killed Chen Hu, wanting to cripple Chen Hu.

Seeing this, Chen Xu was taken aback, and shouted urgently: "Ah Hu, be careful." "Then I wanted to help.

However, Zhang Qi's two entourages moved too fast, and they came to Chen Hu at once, and scolded loudly: "Seventh grandson (dialect, swearing), don't be arrogant!" ”

Chen Hu was about to repair Zhang Qi, who was scolding him, when he saw that someone dared to attack him and hurt people, his eyes were red at the moment. Chen Xu saw it from a distance, it was not good to scream, every time Chen Hu's eyes were red, it was when he lost his mind.

Sure enough, Zhang Qi's two entourages rode horses and attacked Chen Hu on the left and right, but Chen Hu did not dodge and met him upright.

Chen Xu seemed to see Chen Hu being knocked over by a horse and the horse's hooves stepping on his body, his eyes were splitting at the moment, and he shouted loudly: "The thief dares!" ”

People and horses are staggered, and people are turned on their backs.

Chen Xusheng stopped and looked at the scene in front of him incredulously.

I saw Chen Hu turn sideways, pull one of Zhang Qi's entourages off the horse, and then hugged the neck of the running horse, and actually knocked it to the ground.

The horse was overturned to the ground, and a mournful cry came out of its mouth.

Another retinue who had escaped was looked back, swallowed his saliva, looked at the scene in front of him in fear, and did not dare to ride forward again.

Chen Xu knew that Chen Hu's divine power was extraordinary, but he didn't expect it to reach such a level.

Since Chen Hu was fine, Chen Xu naturally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but when he saw this scene, he felt a little blood boiling in his body.

Although Chen Hu's divine power was amazing, it took a lot of strength to overturn the running horse to the ground with his bare hands, the red glow in his eyes receded, picked up the knife of Zhang Qi's follower who fell to the ground, and stared at the three of them viciously, his face full of murderous anger.

Zhang Qi came back to his senses at this time, rubbed his eyes, shook his dizzy head again, and was horrified when he saw Chen Hu's murderous appearance.

At this time, Chen Xu had already walked over, grabbed Chen Hu's hand, and said, "Ah Hu, calm down." ”

Chen Hu snorted heavily, threw away the knife in his hand, stared at the man who was moaning on the ground, and scolded: "You Xinqiu dare to scold my seventh grandson, if it weren't for the eldest brother to stop me, I would have let you know how powerful I Chen Hu is today." ”

The attendant who fell to the ground, where did he dare to speak, picked up the two teeth that had been knocked out, and nodded twice in response.

Very satisfied with the man's performance, Chen Hu pointed at Zhang Qi and said arrogantly: "You, are you still going to kill me?" ”

Zhang Qi saw that Chen Hu was so violent, how dare he speak ill again, and hurriedly said, 'Don't dare'.

Chen Xu was very entangled in his heart and did not speak.

Through the memory of this body, he knew that Zhang Qi would be revenged.

Now that they have settled a grudge, there is almost no room for relaxation between the two sides, and even if the two leave safely today, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhang Qi will not retaliate in the future.

Countless thoughts flashed in his mind, and in the end, he felt that only by killing Zhang Qi and then escaping and diverting the attention of the Zhang family could he avoid causing trouble to his uncle and aunt.

Chen Xu in this era is deeply righteous and has the spirit of a chivalrous man, and Chen Xu in later generations is affected by this body, plus he knows that the troubled times are coming, and the demise of the ten permanent servants is a foregone conclusion, so the evil is born to the side of the bold, and the cold light flashes in his eyes, and he is ready to kill.

But after all, he has a soul from the afterlife, although he also longed to be happy with revenge before, but the morality of the later life made him unable to start.

Moreover, even if Zhang Qi is killed, there is no guarantee that the Zhang family will not retaliate against Chen Hu's parents, and for a while, Chen Xu hesitated.

Zhang Qi's other entourage walked over cautiously, looking at Chen Hu's eyes, still showing fear.

But when he saw Chen Xu's face clearly, and the murderous aura that Chen Xu inadvertently emanated, his heart suddenly sank.

Chen Xu rose to prominence two years ago when he fought with neighboring villages, and he was already well-known in the township, and he was known for his courage and penchant for befriending rangers.

As the saying goes, 'the name of the person, the shadow of the tree', Zhang Qi's two entourages know most of the celebrities in Puyang.

They didn't pay attention at first, but now that they looked closely, they realized that the person with a sick face in front of them was more difficult to provoke than the reckless man who had just overturned the horse with his bare hands.

And looking at Chen Xu's appearance, he may have murderous intentions.

After all, Zhang Qi's reputation is really bad, but anyone who offends him will definitely suffer retaliation, and just now Zhang Qi was shouting to kill Chen Hu. In order to prevent future troubles, it is difficult to guarantee that Chen Xu will not kill Zhang Qige here.

Thinking of the reputation of the two big insects of the Chen family, this person felt a little empty in his heart, but for the sake of his master, he had to walk over with a hard head, saluted Chen Xu, and said: "It turned out to be the eldest man of the Chen family, and I have admired it for a long time." ”

"Da Lang and Erlang are young heroes, famous in the township, and a certain and my master have been famous for a long time, and I can't wait to see them. I am fortunate to see it today, and I am really fortunate to have three lives. ”

After finishing speaking, this person ran to Zhang Qi, secretly glanced at him, and then pulled Zhang Qi up and came to salute Chen Xu.

Zhang Qi went out of the city to play, and only took these two house slaves, which shows his trust in them.

He is not a stupid person, he has seen Chen Hu's ability, and he has seen the eyes of his own slaves, so he naturally knows what to do.

Zhang Qi patted the dust on his body, gave Chen Xu a look, and said sincerely: "The courage of Da Lang and Erlang, I have heard of it, if I knew that Da Lang and Erlang were here today, I would never dare to be so offended." ”

Chen Xu looked at the two people whose attitudes had changed, and he was a little confused, but he stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, even if the other party had a ghost in his heart, if Chen Xu still spoke ill of each other, it would inevitably make people laugh, and it would be a return gift at the moment.

"I didn't know that it was the young master of the Zhang family, and the clan brother Ah Hu had a lot of offenses, so please ask Haihan." Chen Xu is not a reckless man, if this matter can be turned into a big thing and a small matter, it would be good.

Pulling Chen Hu, Chen Xu said: "I bumped into the young master of the Zhang family, and I didn't come to make amends?" ”

When Chen Hu heard this, his face was full of reluctance, and he stared at Zhang Qi viciously with a pair of tiger eyes.

Zhang Qi was startled, and hurriedly said, "How dare you!" How dare you! We are the first to collide in this matter, how dare we make Erlang make amends? If the two of you don't give up, it's better to come to my village for a gathering, and I can also prepare a banquet and make amends to the two strong men. ”

If you go to his farm, won't you be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Chen Xu naturally wouldn't agree, so he postponed and said: "Young Master Zhang's kindness, I shouldn't have postponed it, but it's getting late, I'm afraid that my relatives at home will be worried, so I'll go another day." ”

……

A storm was resolved in this way. Chen Xu didn't want to go, Zhang Qi naturally wouldn't force it, but when he left, the fierceness in his eyes flashed.

After Zhang Qi left, Chen Hu said dissatisfiedly: "Big brother, Zhang Qi is a rich man at first glance, he invites him to eat, there is absolutely no shortage of big fish and meat, why don't you go?" ”

Before Chen Xu could answer, the old woman came over with two children and wanted to bow down to Chen Xu, but Chen Xu refused, and finally came up with a compromise solution and was bowed by the two children.

"Since the strong man wants to eat fish and meat, although the old woman's family has no extra money, she can also invite the two of them to have a big meal, and please don't postpone the two benefactors."

Chen Xu saw that the clothes on the old woman and the two children were not very good, so he naturally refused to let them break the bank and postponed not going.

Although Chen Hu is greedy, he also respects the elderly, knowing that the life of the poor is not easy, and he refuses to go.

The old woman invited the two repeatedly, but when she saw that the two insisted on refusing, she let the two children kowtow to Chen Xu and Chen Hu before giving up.
