Chapter 810: Peculiar Customs

Hu Luba's elbow fell in mid-air and smashed straight down like Mount Tai pressing the top, and the strength was more than a thousand catties, and it was definitely not something that ordinary flesh and blood could withstand. Seeing that Duan Wu couldn't dodge, he was about to be hit by this elbow, but a figure suddenly jumped to the side, with a muffled "bang", the two forces intersected, and this blow was blocked by force!

But when I heard the "click" sound, the bluestone ground that the people stepped on under their feet cracked, all because of the force of this blow, and Huruba was also shocked and flew upside down more than three feet, and when he landed, he was unstable with the pile, and he retreated five or six steps in a row, and still sat on the ground with a butt.

Hu Luba turned over and jumped up again, but he saw that there was a middle-aged man next to Duan Wu.

This person is about five feet tall, with an extremely solid body, a wide forehead, a thick beard, and a very powerful appearance, wearing a navy blue short cloth shirt with arrow sleeves, but it is a martial artist's attire.

The middle-aged man just used his forearm to block Hu Luba's all-out elbow attack, but he only shook his arm, as if he was completely unhindered, his tiger eyes glared, and shouted: "Aren't you from the 'Black Wind Banner'? Why did you run to our 'Blum Xing' inn and bully Ou's apprentice!"

Although Hu Luba covered his face with a black cloth, there were not many people with his tower-like body in Hu Manzhai, and the kung fu in his hands could not be hidden, so he was immediately recognized by the other party. And Hu Luba also recognized this middle-aged man, who was Ouyang Yong, one of the two deacons of the "Blum Commercial Bank".

"Blum Xing" Zhong Da Boss has two capable generals, one is one and one martial, everyone knows in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, one is named Gu Xunhua, known as "Scar Zhuge ", just because he has a scar on his face, and he is knowledgeable and good at strategy, so he has this name. And the other one is Ouyang Yong, who is known as the "dwarf overlord".

Ouyang Yongli can lift the crown, good at wrestling, it is said that he once won a solo battle against thirty Mongolian wrestlers, his length of five feet is also considered medium, but compared to the ancient legend of eight feet two inches tall Chu overlord Xiang Yu is much shorter, it is also suitable for this nickname.

If it was only Ouyang Yong alone, Hu Luba might not be afraid, but with a Duan Wu whose strength was not weaker than his own, his chances of winning would be limited. And when Hu Luba looked around again, he was even more taken aback, just because there were figures on the courtyard wall, and there was a sound of fine footsteps from outside the wall, obviously Ouyang Yong was not the only one who came, and a large number of disciples of "Bailong Xing" were probably here!

These people came so quickly, it was really beyond Huruba's expectations, and now that the other party's reinforcements have arrived, it will not be easy for the "Black Wind Banner" to bargain again tonight.

"Stop!" said Huruba, since he knew that he would not be pleased, it was better not to fight.

When the Black Wind Banner heard the order, they all retreated and stopped fighting, and retreated to Huruba's side, while Li Hu and Ge Li also stopped and separated, they are all people who are good at change, and in the current situation, they should see the situation clearly first.

And the men in black retreated, and Hu Xiaochuan stopped fighting.

At this time, I saw the figure shaking, and the group walked over from the front yard, but it was more than ten strong men in red shirts guarding the group of three.

One of the people walking in the middle was a rich gentleman in his fifties, with a slender-looking appearance, no beard, wearing a loose silk robe, brocade boots, and frivolous steps as if he did not know martial arts. On the left side of this rich gentleman is a middle-aged woman, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white skin, a green silk bun pinned to the back of her head with a hosta, a light shirt and a short skirt, and a long sword hanging obliquely at her waist.

The one on the right is a white-robed scholar, holding a feather fan, looking over forty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, with five long beards, but a dark red scar more than two inches long is exposed on his right cheek.

This person is undoubtedly "Scar Zhuge " Gu Xunhua, and the only person who can let him accompany him is the big boss Zhong Bailong. And the middle-aged woman is Zhong Bailong's wife Cheng Yaozhen.

Several important people of "Blum Xing" actually came to the Deyuan Inn tonight.

When Hou Xiaochuan saw the comer, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and saluted, "Xiaochuan has given the master a salute!"

This monkey-like shopkeeper really has a good background, but the person he saw was not Zhong Bailong, nor Gu Xunhua, but that Mrs. Zhong Cheng Yaozhen.

Mrs. Zhong nodded and said, "The people who let you and Duan Wu protect for the teacher, are you okay now?"

Hou Xiaochuan said: "Master ordered, where does Xiaochuan dare to be negligent, although a large number of thieves are attacking tonight, those three people are all good, and no one can hurt them!"

At this time, in the small courtyard, there were constantly "Blum Xing" disciples in red shirts entering, and more than 30 people from the "Black Wind Banner" were surrounded in it.

Gu Xunhua took a few steps forward and said in a loud voice: "Huluba, do you know that Deyuan Inn is the property of our 'Blum Xing', what are your intentions in attacking with so many people tonight?"

Hu Luba said: "This matter, we will talk about it at the council another day, and then we will give you an explanation of 'Blum Xing', and we will say goodbye tonight!

Now the masters of "Bailong Xing" are all here, and there are at least hundreds of disciples brought by him, which is a lot more than his subordinates.

Ouyang Yong snorted coldly, and shouted loudly: "Zhanzhu! You want to leave after beating people, how can there be such a cheap thing? Your 'Black Wind Banner' is the first to be murderous, so it's no wonder that we are not polite, and we told you to leave your lives here today!"

Hu Luba's face changed, and he said: "The surname is Ou, don't think I'm afraid of you! If you want to leave your own life, you don't have such ability, dare to hurt one of my subordinates today, and in the future, we'll kill you ten lives as compensation!"

Ouyang Yong was also a hot-tempered person, and when he heard Hu Luba say so arrogantly, he couldn't help but feel angry, clenched his fists, and immediately stepped forward to make a move.

At this moment, only a chaotic sound of horses' hooves could be heard from the street outside the inn, and a gang member ran into the courtyard and announced: "Report to the boss, the owner of the 'Black Wind Banner' Zhuotuo Banner has blocked the street with a team of more than 100 horses!"

When Zhong Bailong heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Brother Ouyang Xian, don't do it yet, wait for them to come and see what they have to say." ”

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves outside the door stopped, and more than 20 black-shirted people swarmed in from outside the courtyard gate.

Although the courtyard of the middle hall of this Deyuan Inn is not small, but now inside and outside the wall, there are already dozens of people on both sides standing against each other, and with these more than 20 people crowding in, it is already crowded.

Among the more than 20 Black Wind Banner people who entered the door, the first one was the banner owner Zhuo Tuoerhan, and beside him was a woman wearing an emerald green cloak and a light veil, but it was Shi Qingzhu.

Zhuo Tuo Erhan was still holding the sandalwood abacus that never left his hand, and after entering the courtyard and standing still, his eyes circled around before stopping on Zhong Bailong's face.

He stuffed the abacus into his arms, reached out and patted the sleeve of the robe on his arm, made a Jurchen greeting gift, and said loudly: "Boss Zhong is good, this flag has been lost for a long time!"

Zhong Bailong's face sank like water, and he hugged his fists and said: "Zhuo Tuo Banner Master doesn't have to be polite, the industry of this bank has been robbed, and as the boss, he should come quickly, but the flag owner is not slow, isn't he already waiting on the street?"

The helm of "Blum Xing" is in the west city of Hu Manzhai, and the nest of "Black Wind Banner" is in the north of the city, not close to the Deyuan Inn in the south of the city.

Zhuo Tuo Han laughed twice and said, "The owner of this banner just happened to pass by, and when he saw that something was going on here, he came over to take a look. ”

Zhong Bailong said: "Oh, then this Mr. Huruba, these many people with your banner broke into my inn with knives and axes, but did they also happen to pass by?"

Zhuo Tuo Erhan said: "What is this...... he pretended to sink his face, and said to Hu Luba: "What's going on, why did you bring people into Boss Zhong's inn?"

Hu Luba said: "Tell the banner master, we were going to Nancheng to do business, and when we walked through the street outside this inn, I saw several thieves with knives coming in over the wall, so I took the little ones in to catch the thieves. ”

Drotharhan nodded and said, "I see. Boss Zhong, it seems that this is just a misunderstanding, Hu Luba has no malicious intentions, but he just caught the thief and broke in by mistake, haha...... haha......”

There is a rule of prohibition in Hu Manzhai, and it is a violation of the ban to break into the inn with a weapon in hand, not only the Zhong family will not let it go, but even if it is taken to the meeting of the "Northern Border Business Alliance" in the city, it will not be reasonable, but the nature of entering the inn to catch thieves is different.

This set of rhetoric was already thought of by Zrotharhan and Huruba in advance.

Zhong Bailong said: "Speaking of which, Zhong still has to thank your subordinates for their righteous and courageous actions! But even if they came in to catch thieves, why did they all have black cloths on their faces and dare not show their true faces?"

Zhuo Tuo Erhan said: "Well, everyone has different customs, each has its own habits, and it is not surprising that the mask is not surprising, and there seems to be no rule that you are not allowed to wear a black cloth on your face when you go out in Hu Manzhai, right?"

Cheng Yaozhen, Mrs. Zhong, who was standing on the side, sneered and said, "It turns out that you Jurchen people still have the custom of wearing a black cloth on your face when you go out, but it is quite special, it is not because you always be a robber on weekdays, so you have developed such a habit!"

Zhuo Tuoerhan's face sank, and he said: "What are these words, Mrs. Zhong, our Manchu Empire is a state of etiquette and righteousness, and this banner came to Hu Manzhai only to do business, how could he ever be a robber? Hu Luba They broke into this place by mistake with good intentions, and they didn't kill or injure the lives of your bank, I think it's better to forget it like this!"
