Chapter 37: Infighting
There is a way that one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, unless one male and one female, although the Juyi Hall of this Tiger Cave Mountain is brightly lit, all kinds of wine, meat, melons and fruits are placed on the same table, and the scarred face and the big boss sitting on the main seat are even more of a good posture of the two brothers, bragging and fart, and deep brotherhood, but Li Daoshi intuitively felt that something was wrong.
According to the law of survival in the workplace, there can only be two kinds of people in the office, the protagonist and the dragon set, the foundation of the big boss is now destroyed, and he goes to the old brother's territory to eat, if it is a day or two, it will be just a day, and if he stays for a long time, the relationship will be embarrassing, and at that time, there will only be two choices, annexation, or annexation.
And since the morning, when the leader of the cottage, Scarface, brought the entire village, a full three hundred people and horses, to greet them together, this Scarface's idea is probably not so simple.
"Boy, why don't you eat, my lord brought you over for a long time today, and you don't look happy?"
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare," Daoist Li pretended to have a frightened expression on the surface, but in his heart he was slandering, it was you who were reluctant to miss the dinner, and you had to look at me, so you brought me here, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.
Immediately afterwards, Daoist Li's body stiffened, and the white hair and sweat were frightened, as if he had seen a ghost, it turned out to be the left hand of One-eyed, and it touched his thigh.
One-eyed did not retreat, but advanced, sat down directly, and laughed sharply twice: "Boy, from the first time I saw you, Lao Tzu fell in love with you, I used to have a good relationship in the mountains, he was five or six years old with you, and he was still a showman, and he was obedient to the rule, and his body was bone, tsk-"
Li Daoist can be 100% sure now, this guy is a homosexual, according to the current saying, there is a good dragon and yang, a habit of dividing peaches, and he suddenly wants to cry without tears, damn it, it doesn't matter if he was kidnapped by a knife bandit, and even more unlucky is that he was tied up by a pervert, and he can't say that he will get the chrysanthemum residue and wounds all over the ground tonight, no, Dao Ye, I would rather be killed than be blown up chrysanthemum, this is a matter of principle!
Just when Daoist Li was about to fight to the death and kill one by one, it happened that two companions of the other party came to pour wine, and this one-eyed child let him go temporarily, but from time to time he threw an ambiguous look, which made his goosebumps fall to the ground, no, even if he risked being thundered, he had to think of an escape!
As a result, the banquet was drunk until the third watch, and ten vats were emptied, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol, and a large area lay down in the hall and was carried away by their respective men and horses, even the one-eyed child, and settled in the prepared cave.
Daoist Li quietly opened his eyes, just now he wiped some wine and sprinkled it on his face, deliberately pretending to be drunk, in the middle of the night, no one tied a rope to him, this is a godsend, quickly took advantage of the dark moon and high wind, and quietly slipped out.
This scarface does have some governance skills, saying that it is a cottage, in fact, it is not much different from a county seat, there are granaries, weapons shops, clothing shops, and more importantly, five steps and a post, ten steps and a sentry, and before he walked a few steps, he was stopped by several mountain thieves.
"The mountain road has been sealed, where is my brother going in the middle of the night?" said the other party suspiciously, and the knife in his hand was half drawn.
Daoist Li swallowed and foamed, "Thatched house, where is the thatched house?"
"Haha, where is there a thatched house on the mountain, brother, you are confused, go to the back mountain and find a place to solve it. ”
"Drinking too much, really drinking too much. Daoist Li muttered a sentence and staggered to the back.
When he arrived at the back mountain, he understood why these guards did not guard the front, the mountain of this Tiger Cave Mountain is very strange, the front mountain caves are one after another, and the back is a bare cliff, as if it was split by a giant with a knife, smooth and slippery, hundreds of feet from the ground, the wind gusts, whimpering from time to time, in this case, unless it is a sword immortal of the level of Huo Dabeard, otherwise it will be a broken bone.
For this situation, Daoist Li can only use the word 'rely on' to describe it, and was about to sneak back to find a way, when he suddenly heard a movement in front of him, and hurriedly squatted behind the tree and pretended to be dead.
"What Brother Hu means is that we will abandon this property and go to Jiangkou with him to planh food, the people of the Cao Gang have his friends, and robbing on the road is not a long-term solution after all, if it is small, there is no oil and water, and the big one will be worried, what do you mean, Changhe?"
Listening to this voice, Daoist Li instantly understood that the other party was Scarface, an old swordsman in his fifties, as for this long crane, he was the third master and master in the Tiger Cave Mountain, there were four leaders on this mountain, in addition to Scarface, they were the money leopard Zhao Shanke, Mr. Paper Fan Bai Changhe, and the pink lady Taogu, these three people have their own backgrounds, and they are also second-rate experts in the green forest.
"That Hu Da Boss made a gesture of being the leader on the surface, but in fact, it was for himself from head to toe, most of our three hundred people, most of them were local people who couldn't eat and couldn't eat, so they went up the mountain to be thieves, if they really want to go to the south, at least half of them are unwilling to go, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the big guys are willing to follow the leader, the big gang of hundreds of thousands of Cao Gang, we people add it, isn't it like throwing a stone into the river, how big a wave can it set off? In the end, it doesn't depend on his relationship with the big boss, one or two come and go, and the brothers can't tell who they will listen to," Mr. Bai said heartily.
Scarface was stunned for a moment, and then angry and angry: "So that's what it means, hey, this old buddy of mine, I really think he has changed his character, or is it exactly the same as back then, bold on the surface, and insidious tight on the inside." ”
"What do you think, Chief? These are villains!"
"I understand what you mean, but don't underestimate those twenty Taihang Mountain brothers, if you really want to go down with fire, even if we can eat them, it will be a situation where our strength is greatly damaged, and with the set of two-handed knives of the big master and the kung fu of a horizontal practice, if I really want to fight, I may not be his opponent. ”
"Changhe understands, let Taogu go out tomorrow and see if he can ......"
The two of them discussed several poisonous schemes, but they did not expect to be heard by Taoist Li cleanly, and after waiting for half an hour, after the two left, the Taoist priest exhaled deeply, his face was pale, and he was suffocated;
"These people don't want to engage in internal fire, right?" Daoist Li pondered, should he wait for the two sides to fight, and then take advantage of that pass to sneak down the mountain, it seems to work, but time waits for no one, stay on the mountain for a few more days, and his chrysanthemum can't be saved.
Before he could think about it, there was a 'poof', and a seven-foot-long Qingfeng sword was already attached to his neck.
"Tiger Cave Mountain bandits, sixty-seven crimes in five years, the evidence is conclusive, and there is more than one innocent," as a clear female voice sounded from behind, the blade of the sword slashed to the throat.
Daoist Li didn't say a word, his legs were weak, "Woman, spare your life, I'm a good citizen!"
"Good people?"
"Yes, great good people," Daoist Li swallowed and spat, and carefully moved the sword to the side with his fingers.
"You're not a bandit in the mountains?"
Daoist Li turned his head and squeezed out a man who looked as beautiful as a flower, "Of course not, have you ever seen such a kind robber like a woman?"
The woman raised her eyebrows, the other party's appearance did not look like a wicked person, but the tone of a flamboyant tongue made people uncomfortable to listen to, especially the pair of thief eyebrows and mouse eyes, all of them beckoned to her, threw the sword body, and a sword flower bloomed in front of the other party's eyes, and the frightened other party sat on the ground, and then took back the sword with satisfaction.
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
