Yi Song

Chapter 9 Good people don’t live long

Liu Da fell behind. When he heard the noise, he looked back and saw an arrow flying like lightning. Without thinking, he bumped his body and pushed Liu Guozhang away, and the arrow hit his heart.

Liu Guozhang reached out and pulled out his spear, turned around and threw it hard.

There was a loud bang, and the iron gun was inserted into the wall, more than five feet deep, and the tail of the gun buzzed and trembled.

With a click, the planks of the wall cracked, revealing a man with a crossbow slipping from his hand.

The spear penetrated his chest and pinned his body to the wall, unable to move.

The man's eyes widened and he stared at Liu Guozhang resentfully. His hands were scratching in the air in vain, and his body was shaking constantly.

Liu Guozhang knelt down and picked up Liu Da.

"Brother, you don't have to rush to save me. I have been alert and can hide away."

Liu Da smiled miserably, "What a thief, my head got hot and I moved without thinking about anything. I knocked you away and then I remembered that you can catch the arrow, so you should be able to dodge it. It's a big loss this time."

"Brother." Liu Guozhang's eyes were red and he could say a thousand words into one sentence.

"I have calculated my fate so many times, but this time I got it right.

Damn you, Yama is so stingy. I have been cheating and cheating for more than ten years. I finally did a good deed and saved you, but you want me to risk my life. Ahem! "

Liu Da coughed violently, his body began to twitch, he vomited blood, and it became increasingly difficult to speak.

"Brother, I worship my ancestors and find my relatives." He grabbed Liu Guozhang's hand and said with all his strength.

"Brother, your ancestors are my ancestors, and your relatives are my relatives." Liu Guozhang said with tears.

"Don't cry, brother. I finally recognized a brother. Live a good life and live my part well."

After uttering the last good word, the faint light in Liu Da's eyes disappeared, his body stiffened, and he died in Liu Guozhang's arms.

Wang Yan and others rushed in after hearing the sound and couldn't believe it when they saw this scene.

"This is a sandwich wall. It is built very cleverly and is difficult to find. No one can hide here. It is not an ordinary person. Chen Guang, go call a boy servant and identify who he is."

"He is Liang Shicai, the master of Manjin Hall." Gao Shiqi, the boy servant he brought, was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground when he saw the miserable state of the man, and pointed out tremblingly.

"Master of Manjin Hall!"

Liu Guozhang carefully laid Liu Da's body flat on the ground, wiped away his tears, took the four-foot willow-leaf scimitar and put it on his waist. After walking a few steps, he held the tail of the gun and pulled it out hard.

The man who was nailed to the wall fell to the ground.

Liu Guozhang walked up to him, grabbed his hair and lifted it up, revealing a pale and bloodless face. He used his last strength to look at himself bitterly.

I don’t know if he regretted it, regretted letting his men fish him out of the river, regretted not killing him directly, but threw him into the backyard prison.

Liu Guozhang pulled out the lancet and swung it lightly, like a hot knife cutting through oil, and cut off Hall Master Liang's head.

Nice knife!

The eldest brother has such a good eye, he can tell at a glance that these guns and knives are not ordinary things.

Liu Guozhang placed the head next to Liu Da's body and looked at the man who met him by chance but saved his life.

Good people don't live long.

Brother, I will definitely help you fulfill your last wish! Before that, let me pay homage to you with the heads from all over the Golden Hall!

After kowtowing three times and standing up, Liu Guozhang touched the bag of items in his arms and made up his mind.

He leaned on the iron gun and said loudly: "My name is Liu Hu, and my courtesy name is Guozhang."

He glanced at everyone and continued.

"A true man repays his kindness!

My eldest brother met me by chance, but he saved my life twice. I have no repayment, so I am determined not to leave. I will stay here, kill all the people in Jintang, and use their heads to worship my eldest brother!
  Before in prison, I promised to help you survive. Now that I have done it, you can go your separate ways, pack up and leave immediately. "

The crowd fell silent.

Regardless of Tian Cong's obstruction, Fengcheng stepped forward and said: "Where righteousness comes, life and death follow! Brother Tian and I were helped by Erlang. We were lucky enough to escape death. Due to emotion and reason, we should lend a helping hand to Erlang."

It's a pity that the two of us have no power to restrain the chicken, but have become Erlang's burden. In this case, Brother Tian and I stayed far away for the time being, waiting for Erlang's revenge. If we fail, we will definitely try our best to obtain Erlang's body and bury it properly, even if we die again. "

"Brother Feng and Brother Tian's righteousness will never be forgotten by me." Liu Guozhang answered with cupped hands.

Yuan Tianbao and Wang Buddha argued softly.

Finally, Yuan Tianbao let out a long sigh, cupped his hands and said: "I should help Erlang. I just regret that I still have a heavy responsibility and dare not take it lightly. I am extremely ashamed. We and the two Toyotas will stay far away for the time being. If Erlang misses, We will definitely find the body and bury it properly. If you violate the oath, you will be struck by thunder and die without a burial place!"

"Thank you both for your kindness." Liu Guozhang said with cupped hands.

Wang Yan and his three companions discussed the matter, clasped their fists and said, "The four of us have a duty to do this. It is not only to repay Da Lang and Er Lang for saving their lives, but also to avenge the countless wronged souls in Manjin Hall."

Manjintang has been here for more than ten years and has killed countless innocent business travelers. Since Erlang has this ambition, the four of us will fight to the death to help each other to eradicate this disaster and restore peace to the Bianhe River. "

"Okay! Brother Feng, Brother Tian, ​​Brother Yuan, and Brother Wang, the four of you should go first. We still need to arrange things properly. It's already five o'clock, and it's going to be dawn soon."

"Okay, bye!"

Oooh-ooh!

When the rooster crows, the world becomes white.

From the avenue on the other side of the dock, a group of more than sixty young men came walking, all dressed similarly. Some were carrying sticks, some were equipped with swords, and in the middle were four peace carts, which were pulled forward by mules, making a creaking sound.

There were more than a dozen boxes stacked on the car.

The crowd came to the gate of Manjintang, and the man in the lead stepped forward to knock on the door.

With a creak, the corner door opened, and a servant boy leaned out half of his body.

"The deputy hall master is back."

“Open the door!”      Yes!”

The left toilet door was wide open, and people and cars slowly walked in.

Walking to the front hall, the deputy hall master saw another child servant.

"Gao Shiqi, is the hall master up?"

"Get up, tell the deputy hall master and everyone to gather in the backyard as soon as possible. I said there is a reward for you." Gao Shiqi lowered his head and replied.

"Okay! The hall master has ordered us to gather in the backyard first!"

More than sixty people soon gathered in the middle of the backyard. They were talking among themselves at first, but soon they felt something was wrong.

"Why hasn't the hall master come out yet?"

"That's not right. I can't see any of the brothers left behind. It's really strange."

The deputy hall master also felt that something was wrong and said loudly: "Brother hall master, let's come back——"

With a whoosh, the arrow hit him in the back of the heart.

Before anyone else could react, arrows rang out one after another, and four people were struck by arrows in their chests, throats and other vital organs.

The sound of bowstrings also sounded from the front,

Arrows came like rain from all directions, and some twenty people were hit by arrows, either dead or injured.

The gang members were in an uproar, gathered in a circle in panic, and looked around in horror.

The deputy hall leader and the four people who fell first were all the most capable in Manjintang. They were hit by arrows before they even saw the enemy.

The arrow rain just now was urgent and dense, and the arrows were all fired. Are the elites of the border army coming?

Liu Guozhang was equipped with a waist knife and a spear, and walked slowly out of the prison.

Amidst the roar, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Meng and their grandson slowly closed the door to the back hall of the main house, the only exit from the backyard. He picked up the Pu Dao, stood on one side with Wang Yan and Chen Guang, and looked at the Manjintang gang members coldly.

"Close the door and kill the dog!"

Liu Guozhang roared and rushed forward with an iron gun.

With both arms exerted force, the iron gun shook, and a fan appeared from the front half of the gun. The gun hoop swung in the air and hit a thief on the head like a melon hammer.

With a bang, the thief's head exploded.

In the distance, Fengcheng and Tian Cong were sitting under a tree, talking quietly.

"Brother Feng, you are too impatient. Great righteousness, what is our great righteousness? It is to save millions of people in the southeast from the fire!"

Fengcheng argued unconvinced: "If you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world? If you can't accomplish small righteousness, how can you do all the great righteousness? Besides, we are just covering up. The more we attract their attention, the better."

Tian Cong fell silent, leaned against the tree, looked at the increasingly brighter sky, and said quietly: "I hope our sacrifice is worth it."

Fengcheng clenched his fists, "We will definitely eradicate the evil and save Southeast from the fire and water. Our sacrifice is worth it."

After speaking, he turned to look in the direction of Manjintang and said worriedly: "I wonder how Brother Liu and the others are doing now?"

Under another tree in the distance, Yuan Tianbao whispered to Wang Buddha: "If Liu Erlang cannot destroy the Manjin Hall, I will issue an order immediately after entering Kaifeng and gather the followers to destroy the Manjin Hall."

"Don't worry, young master, Liu Erlang will definitely destroy this Manjintang." Wang Buddha said confidently.

"Why are the elders so sure?"

"Liu Erlang is brave and resourceful, a peerless general; the four heroes Wang Yan are utility soldiers in Hebei and are fierce soldiers on the battlefield. Although Manjintang is cruel, it will only harm the kindness of the people and will never be able to defeat an iron-blooded army.

Liu Erlang made another plan to lead you into the urn. Seizing the upper hand on the battlefield is half the battle won. "

Yuan Tianbao praised: "The elder joined the Western Army and fought bloody battles in Hexi. He really learned a lot of skills."

"I went into the Sea of ​​Blood Corpse Mountain to practice cultivation, in order to bring light to the teachings and make light and good deeds permanent in the world."

Yuan Tianbao raised his head and looked in the direction of Manjintang.

"I wonder how well Liu Guozhang and the others killed him?"

Suddenly, Yuan Tianbao jumped up with joy when he saw black smoke rising into the sky over there.

"Successful!"

The four of them waited anxiously for a quarter of an hour, and saw five figures appear. Among them, Liu Guozhang was carrying Liu Da's body on his back, striding towards the rising sun.

Manjintang is located at the junction of Kaifeng County and Chenliu County. When people nearby saw the fire, they reported the case to the two county governments early. But when the two magistrates heard the name of Manjintang, they had splitting headaches and tried every means to evade it.

No one from the government came, and the people around him were angry and afraid, so they hid far away. So no one came to put out the fire. Within an hour, Manjintang was burned to rubble.

At noon, the two county magistrates finally arrived with a group of scribes and strong archers.

Broken walls and pillars, black smoke rising everywhere.

The scribe came forward and said that he had found two piles of charcoal, one with corpses and one with heads. There were about eighty or ninety bodies, which was consistent with the number of Manjintang gang members.

Manjintang was wiped out!

The two county magistrates had even more headaches, and they only regretted why they were so soft-hearted and came here.

Two men wearing dongpo scarves and green straight skirts hurried over. Seeing such a scene, they quietly went to the county government clerk to inquire about it.

"A bunch of trash, they didn't get things done, and they caused such a big trouble."

"Hurry back and report to the office, and then make a decision."
