Chapter 193 Liangshan Flag Planting Dulonggang
Li Ying's reaction was due to anger.
He came with good intentions to resolve the feud between the Zhu and Hu families, but he didn't expect to be scolded by Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao. He couldn't swallow this humiliation.
In addition, Cao Jie's occasional words also served to add fuel to the fire.
With me, Little Mengde, around, even the strongest alliance will collapse.
In full view of the crowd, "Sky-Putting Eagle" Li Ying was held up.
So, he challenged Zhujiazhuang, wanting an explanation and a way out.
As for the Three Villages Alliance, if there is an external enemy it is an alliance, if there is no external enemy, then Zhujia Village is the external enemy.
Hujia Village is the weakest and dares not have conflicts of interest with Lijia Village. Zhu Family and Li Family are old rivals.
At this time, Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang also rode up to them.
Hu Cheng had a bruised face and nose and looked miserable, but in fact, it was only a superficial wound. He had a bitter face and his eyes were filled with extreme resentment.
"Brother Hu Cheng, why don't you stay at the farm to recuperate?"
Cao Jie asked with concern.
Hu Cheng was furious: "Brother Cao, Zhu Family Manor has gone too far. I, Hu Cheng, will not be a human being if I don't avenge myself...hiss!"
Hu Cheng took a breath because the wound was affected.
"Brother, please stop showing off." Hu Sanniang said bluntly, with both hands on the sun and moon swords at her waist, she said, "Your third sister will avenge you."
"I……"
Hu Cheng was just about to say something harsh when he saw the gate of Zhujiazhuang open and fifty or sixty men on horseback rushed out.
The first one to ride on a dark red horse like burning charcoal was Zhu Chaofeng's third son Zhu Biao.
How to dress?
He wore a golden phoenix-wing lotus-leaf helmet and chain-linked plum-blossom armor. He had a bow and arrows hanging from his waist and held two swords and a spear in his hands. The red tassel under his horse's forehead looked like blood, and the aura around the precious stirrups looked like clouds.
At that moment, Li Ying saw Zhu Biao, pointed at him and cursed, "You have the smell of milk on your lips and the hair of your mother still on your head. Your grandfather and I have a life-and-death friendship, and we vowed to work together to protect the village. If your family needs to take someone away, come early and let them go early. If you need to take something, I will do it. I am here today to mediate and resolve the feud between your two families. Why are you brothers insulting me without knowing right or wrong?"
At that time, Li Ying and his servant were not wearing any armor and had no farmhands to protect them, so they naturally held their breath.
But taking a step back, the more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Now that he has the confidence, if he doesn’t clamor and seek revenge, he will not be the “Flying Eagle”.
The nickname "Putian Diao" comes from "The Story of King Wu's Conquest of Zhou": King Zhou and Daji were on the stage, enjoying the morning sun, when suddenly several people below the stage released hunters from cages, riding eagles and eagles, and flew past the stage. Suddenly, a soap eagle flew up and came to the stage to challenge Daji.
When Daji saw this, she screamed and walked into the crowd. The eagle scratched her face and broke her golden crown.
The power of this eagle lies in its ability to see through the false appearance of the goblin and kill it with its force.
The nickname "Putian Diao" means that Li Ying is as fierce as an eagle.
Hearing Li Ying's scolding, Zhu Biao sneered, raised the gun in his hand towards him, and shouted: "Li Ying, old man, although my family and you have a life-and-death friendship, we are willing to work together to resist the bandits. But now you are colluding with the rebels and plotting rebellion!"
Li Ying knew who he was talking about.
But can you say this?
Isn’t the general of Xuan Yi Army watching there?
That’s Wu Song, the “Tiger Subduing Arhat”!
Can your Zhujiazhuang withstand the attack of five hundred brave soldiers and two thousand elite troops?
"You are a young boy who is still wet behind the ears. You are so outspoken and you are not afraid of causing trouble. I must cut off all ties with the Zhu family!"
Li Ying narrowed his eyes and shouted, "I think your Zhu family is the thief. Today you attacked Hujia Village and annexed the neighbors. Tomorrow you dare to attack the state capital..."
Zhu Biao said sternly, "Old man, stop talking nonsense here. If you don't leave, I'll arrest you and bring you to the authorities. I want to talk to the prefect about whether Liangshan is a group of thieves... Are you associating with those thieves to plot a rebellion?"
It was just a fight between two villages in the countryside. Since ancient times, imperial power did not extend to the countryside, and if someone was beaten to death, as long as the police were not reported, the village elders would handle it on their own.
Zhu Biao keeps talking about treason and wants to see the officials at every turn. It is obvious that he is determined to fight to the death.
Li Ying was furious, slapped his horse, pointed his gun, and ran towards Zhu Biao. Both sides shouted loudly.
Zhu Biao also rode his horse to fight Li Ying.
The two fought back and forth, up and down, for seventeen or eighteen rounds in front of Dulonggang.
Zhu Biao was defeated by Li Ying, so he turned his horse around and ran away.
Li Ying could have used a flying knife to hurt the man, but he did not do so. Instead, he showed mercy and just rode his horse to chase after him.
But Zhu Biao didn't care about all this. He slung the spear across his horse, picked up the bow with his left hand, took the arrow with his right hand, put the arrow on it, pulled the bow to its full height, turned over and shot an arrow.
When Li Jing tried to dodge, he was hit in the left arm.
In an instant, he somersaulted off his horse.
"Ghost Face!" Du Xing shouted and rushed out on his horse to rescue him.
Zhu Biao also turned his horse around to snatch people away.
But those who were faster than them were "The Man with Beautiful Beard" Zhu Tong, followed by "The Winged Tiger" Lei Heng, "The Red-haired Ghost" Liu Tang and "The One-foot-long Green" Hu Sanniang.
Luan Tingyu also wanted to take action, but was held back by Cao Jie.
After all, he was his former master’s family, and they didn’t need him, so he might as well be a good person.
Just at noon, Zhu Biao had seen this group of vicious people.
He defeated Hu Cheng in one round, and even his two brothers were no match for him.
However, at that time, everyone was just fighting for people and there was no real fight.
Although Zhu Biao knew that these people were very powerful, he didn't know how strong they were.
He stabbed Zhu Tong in the chest with the gun in his hand. Zhu Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, and swung the saber in his hand at the speed of the galloping horse, and fell down with a bang.
Zhu Biao lost control of the iron spear in his hand and it fell to the ground. He hurriedly reined in his horse and tried to ride away, but Zhu Tong had already stabbed him in the hindquarters with a knife.
The horse stood up in pain, almost throwing Zhu Biao off the horse, but his followers all drew their arrows and shot at him.
When Zhu Tong and Lei Heng saw this, they thought they had no armor to cover themselves, so they had to retreat and not chase after him.
Du Xing also rescued Li Ying, mounted his horse and retreated to Cao Jie's side.
"Brother Cao, Li Ying has embarrassed himself."
Putiandiao had a bitter face, even more depressed than Hu Cheng who had been beaten.
"Victory and defeat are common in the military. Brothers, your abilities are not limited to charging into battle. There is nothing shameful about that."
As Cao Jie spoke, he pulled out the arrows, took off his armor, and applied medicine to the wounds. He said:
"Brother said that this Dulonggang is a private matter, and we should not get involved. Before, we only seized Brother Hu Cheng, and there was no big fight. It was the same just now. But..."
Cao Jie pointed at his brothers and said, "Wu Erlang is an official appointed by the court, and these guys are also captains under his command. We passed by your precious place and just had a few sips of wine in Hujia Village, but he called us bandits in Zhujia Village. This is not a private matter! Brother Li Ying, how do you think this matter should be resolved? If we let him talk nonsense, how can we brothers be officials and convince the people?"
As a local elder, Li Ying least wants to deal with the government.
As long as the government does not interfere, they are the local tyrants.
"Brother Cao, General Wu, and all the captains, please give Li Ying some time. I will give an explanation to all the brothers." Li Ying clasped his fists.
"Alright!"
Cao Jie nodded.
Wu Song agreed, "Our vacation is about to end, so we dare not stay here any longer. My brother is here, so I'll ask brothers Li Ying and Hu Cheng to take care of him."
If the name is not correct, the words will not ring true.
On the second day, Wu Song led three captains to leave Dulonggang, but more brothers came to Cao Jie from Liangshan.
Hujiazhuang was naturally enthusiastic, and seeing this, Li Ying had no reason to refuse.
Liangshan’s flag-raising at Dulonggang was successfully completed!
