Chapter 25: Temptation

Knowing that these people might be sent by Li Linge to make trouble, Tang Cheng, who walked out of the room, walked towards the stove room in the backyard without hesitation, Lao Xu and a few people from the Sichuan army were busy making food, and Tang Cheng was going to steal a few bites to make his stomach feel better. The men who broke into the compound of the militia barracks saw that no one paid attention to them, and some people immediately panicked, and the Zhou brothers were all beaten to death by these outsiders, and they were so defenseless that they could not be gnawed and there was not even scum left.

"Steward Li said, after the matter is completed, each person will have 5 pieces of ocean and 3 taels of cloud soil, if anyone dares to say that he will not do it at this time, be careful Lao Tzu cut off your head first to sacrifice the flag." A man in black mixed in the crowd looked around viciously at those who wanted to retreat, lifted the front lining of his shirt, and a short gun appeared in everyone's eyes. "Don't worry, these outsiders don't dare to shoot in the county, Lao Tzu's guns are not vegetarians, as long as they dare to use guns, Lao Tzu's dozens of brothers outside will be able to rush in immediately."

Seeing that everyone's eyes had flashed, the man in black added another fire, "Steward Li said that these outsiders have a lot of money, as long as we make trouble here, this money will be divided equally among everyone, and Steward Li doesn't want a penny." "Money is the most moving, these men can be instigated to come to the militia barracks to make trouble, isn't it just for the few pieces of ocean and a few taels of tobacco given by Li Shun, since they are pinning their heads to their belts to beg for a living, it is naturally best to get more money.

"On the bayonet" Just when the group of men were about to storm the barracks according to Li Shun's arrangement, Lu Yong, who had been lying in the house, came out, although he didn't know what was going on, but Lu Yong's first reaction was to order his men who stayed in the barracks to show their bayonets. Regardless of whether the other party deliberately ran to provoke or not, it was impossible for Lu Yong to directly order the shooting, so the bayonet became the best choice for the fairy, it was best to scare the other party away, if the other party could not be forced back, the damage caused by the bayonet would be much smaller than the shot.

"Brothers, these Qiu Ba are all cowards, they don't dare to do anything to us, come on, drive these outsiders out of Lu, everything here is ours." The men in black shouted back and forth in the crowd, inciting these men who could forget everything for money to attack Lu Yong and them. Lu Yong, who was standing on the steps, also noticed that something was wrong, these people who broke into the barracks seemed to be organized, and these people were all adult men.

"If you have the ability, you will pierce Lao Tzu here, you will pierce it." A man squeezed in front of him violently opened his shirt, exposed his strong chest, and kept deliberately slamming his chest into the bayonet in the hand of the Sichuan soldier on the other side. Without receiving Lu Yong's order, the Sichuan soldiers who confronted this group with rifles naturally couldn't react, and under the provocation of the ploppy man, the Sichuan soldiers in rows were forced to retreat a few steps, and they were about to retreat to the bottom of the steps on Lu Yong's side.

The muffled sound of "pop" made the chaos and eerie silence fall, and the sloppy man who had just yelled angrily for the other party to stab him with a bayonet covered his face and squatted down, and the sharp-eyed man beside him looked directly to the left, and the thing that had just flown into the crowd came from their left. "Who? Who just threw something at Lao Tzu? Come out. The man who was squatting on the ground stood up, and there seemed to be no scars on his face when he was thrown by a foreign object, just a little more suspicious oiliness.

"Bang" The man who had just stood up covered his face and squatted down again, this time everyone could see clearly what hit the man, and what fell to the ground and kept rolling was not just a steaming meat and bone. "Clean mouth, if you haven't brushed your teeth, the master can help you." Appearing on the left side of the crowd was Tang Cheng who ran to the stove room to steal his mouth, Lao Xu stewed a big pot of meat with those guys from the Sichuan Army, Tang Cheng couldn't help but take two pieces and gnaw them out first.

Tang Cheng originally thought that it was just some scoundrels who came to make trouble, and Lu Yong and they should be able to solve it easily, but he didn't expect that Lu Yong's people would be forced to retreat again and again by these scoundrels, and they were about to retreat to Lu Yong's side, Tang Cheng couldn't help but throw the meat and bones that he had gnawed in his hand. "Little rabbit, I see that you are impatient, right?" The man who was hit by Tang Cheng with meat and bones one after another got up and roared angrily and rushed towards Tang Cheng, with the intention of crushing Tang Cheng's bones and scattering ashes.

"Hmph" Tang Cheng's movements were faster than him, and he had already pulled out the shell gun on his waist with just a backhand, "Come, move another one and I'll take a look, didn't you say that we don't dare to shoot?" Then let's give it a try and see if I don't dare shoot you. Seeing that Tang Cheng had a gun in his hand, the playful man didn't dare to move anymore, and directly stood there stiff in an extremely awkward posture, no matter how the black-clothed man in the crowd looked, he resolutely did not move.

What he was afraid of was not the gun in Tang Cheng's hand, but Tang Cheng's eyes at this time, which looked like a beast in the mountains and forests, making him feel like he had been targeted by a beast, as if as long as he moved, the beast would immediately pounce and devour himself. Swallowing the saliva stuck in his throat with some difficulty, a smile appeared on the stiff face of the pranky man, and according to the meaning of Tang Cheng's swing with the muzzle, he directly squatted down with his head in his hands.

"Big guy, this is just a hairy child, maybe he doesn't have any bullets in his gun at all, there are so many of us, he can fight a few, let's go together, let's put this little cub first." The black-clothed man in the crowd was inciting the people around him again, and with his shouting, the eyes of those men who were obviously timid showed greed again, and under the temptation of money, these ignorant people directly chose to ignore the shell gun in Tang Cheng's hand.

"Close the door, don't let any of them go, it just so happens that the latrine in the backyard hasn't been cleaned yet, and the firewood that has just been brought back is waiting to be chopped." Liu Goat's voice appeared behind the gang at the right time, and Jiujin even carried a thick wooden stick at the gate. "You bastards, do you know what kind of place this is? This is Lao Tzu's military camp, and trespassing on the barracks is to be shot. Liu Goat pushed away those dumbfounded men with ruffians, and stood beside Lu Yong leisurely.

"Don't listen to this Qiu Ba fooling people, this is Mengcheng, it is our territory, these outsiders want to come to our Mengcheng to play prestige and bully our Mengcheng people, everyone fights with them." The man in black in the crowd saw that something was wrong, so he directly drew his short gun and aimed at Liu Goat, who had just returned. Before being called by the housekeeper Li Shun to arrange this matter, he had already learned that the person in charge of this group was Liu Goat, although he had not seen Liu Goat with his own eyes, from the verbal description of the housekeeper Li Shun, he could easily recognize Liu Goat, because among these Qiu Ba, only Liu Goat himself had a beard on his chin.

"Bang" The gun went off, but it was not Liu Goat who fell, but the man in black who suddenly shot out, and it was naturally Tang Cheng who shot it. Only a few meters away like this, according to Tang Cheng's current marksmanship, he would not miss at all. "Squat down, squat with your head in your hands." The Sichuan soldiers with bayonets surrounded them, forcing those men to squat in a circle with the rifles in their hands, and Jiujin even waved the wooden sticks in his hands and knocked down several broken men who wanted to flee in a panic.

"Are you comfortable now? If you are still uncomfortable, the master can help you with a few more bullet holes. Tang Cheng slowly walked to the man who was lying on the ground screaming miserably, and looked down at the horse-faced man with blood on his right shoulder. I won't kill you this time, go back and tell your master, we are just passers-by, and we don't want to take root here, if your master has to get along with us, then let's start a fight. ”

Lu Yong thought that Liu Goat was back, and this matter would be over, but he didn't expect that the person sent by the other party would bring a gun, and he would actually commit a black hand to Liu Goat. If Tang Cheng hadn't shot first, maybe Liu Goat would have been shot and lay down, but before Lu Yong could spit out the turbid qi that was stuck in his chest, Tang Cheng's next words made Lu Yong's heart lift again. It's not that he doesn't want Tang Cheng to take it upon himself to put the injured horse-faced man back, he thinks that Tang Cheng shouldn't say the last sentence, what if Li Linge mistakenly thinks that he is writing a war?

"Do you understand? That's what Lao Tzu meant, if your master is still not happy, if you have to do these sneaky things about chickens and dogs, we have to fight a battle to divide the winner. Tang Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said just now, maybe he had been with Liu Goat for a long time, Tang Cheng now has a bit of Liu Goat's virtue in talking and doing things, and Liu Goat of course agreed with Tang Cheng's words just now.

Let Jiujin throw the horse-faced man out of the barracks, Liu Goat instructed Zhang Yun and they took the remaining pimpy men to clean the toilet, chop wood and clean the yard, although Tang Cheng's injury did not look serious, but Tian Kui said that he needed to recuperate for at least half a month before he could continue on the road, and Liu Goat was ready to occupy this place as his own barracks. "Don't worry, the people sent by Li Linge to make trouble in the barracks are all scoundrels who can't be put on the table, which shows that he just wants to test our hypocrisy, if we are too weak, Li Linge's old dog will bring someone to kill him immediately, and it is good for us to be tougher." Seeing the worry in Lu Yong's heart, Liu Goat Wen Yan persuaded him to go back to lie down, and then called Tang Cheng to the backyard. For Tang Cheng's reaction just now, Liu Goat was naturally a hundred satisfied, in this troubled world, there should be such a decision and means, otherwise in the end it can only become a dry bone buried deep in the ground, if you want to live long, you must be stronger and ruthless than your own enemy.
