I opened a tea shop in Bianjing

Chapter 20
The bald man pulled the dagger out of the gap in the coffee table, and continued to slice and eat meat calmly. "I often heard rumors in the market that Ms. Mo had practiced proficient boxing skills since she was a child. I didn't believe it at first, but what I saw just now is really admirable." He said while eating, as if he was cutting steak in a western restaurant.

Mo Yunxiao sized him up and said with a smile, "You tied me up, but you didn't come here to test my kung fu, did you?"

"Hehehe..." The man burst into laughter, and said, "We are all rascals, how can we invite Miss Mo to please me? I can only invite the girl here in this unseemly way, and ask the girl to forgive me." indivual."

"What's the matter?" Mo Yunxiao gradually lost patience, and asked again: "Who are you guys?"

"Us?" The bald man smiled and introduced himself: "My surname is Liu, and my name is Liu Dadao. Hehe, the big sword kills tigers and leopards, and the big sword kills the Jade Emperor. And these people are some down-and-out children and desperadoes, everyone gathered together Dui'er is nothing more than begging for a meal and a bowl of water."

"Slay the tiger and leopard with a big sword, and kill the Jade Emperor with a big sword." These subordinate thugs of all kinds also recited it in unison.

Mo Yunxiao heard it in his ears, and felt the hairs all over his body stand on end.She couldn't help thinking of the Yellow Turban Army in the late Han Dynasty and the Boxers in the late Qing Dynasty.

"Are you..." Mo Yunxiao felt faintly uneasy.She desperately wanted an answer.

"The Beggar Gang." Liu Dadao replied, "You don't understand the appearance of us people?"

Suddenly, Mo Yunxiao realized that the Beggars' Gang had already become popular in the Song Dynasty.They gather together and regard one person as the leader, who is called the head of the group.As a faction, this Liu Dadao must be the leader of the group.However, the former Mo Yunxiao only knew that there was such an organization in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't understand it deeply.Now sitting opposite her is a group leader, doesn't it make her feel a little incredible?

So she tried to stay calm, and said with a smile: "Minglou and the Beggars' Clan have never violated the river water. Under the blue sky and broad daylight, you kidnapped openly. If you offend the government, how will it end?"

Liu Dadao laughed and said, "Thank you Miss Mo for your thoughtful consideration. But we guess, your father will never disturb the government."

Mo Yunxiao frowned, and was about to ask "Why?" But she swallowed the words again.The man in front of him was looking at him with a confident smile, as if he had a deep understanding of his father.If I ask the question so rashly, I am afraid that I will show my timidity greatly.

So she thought for a while, then asked again: "Then what is the purpose of you kidnapping me?"

"Don't play charades, you might as well speak up." Liu Dadao put the dagger aside, put away his smile, and said, "Our brothers want to take over the Water Transport Wharf. I hope Miss Mo will not interfere in this matter."

"What?" Mo Yunxiao's already somewhat clear mind immediately fell into confusion again.What does Liu Dadao have to do with him if he wants to compete for the Water Transport Wharf?
Liu Dadao seemed to see her doubts, and continued: "But you don't have to be angry. There are three canals in Tokyo, the Cai River, the Bian River, and the Wuzhang River. We only need one Cai River, and the Bian River and the Wuzhang River are canals. Brother's lifeblood. We can't dig a way out of life anyway. We still know this truth."

Mo Yunxiao turned her head around, and seemed to catch a ray of light in the confusion of thoughts, and said with a smile: "Brother Liu has such a big tone. Since ancient times, the canal has been owned by the Cao Gang, and there is no reason for others to intervene. Why? ? Big brother Liu wants to be black and black?"

Several subordinates behind Liu Dadao became furious.Liu Dadao stopped their attack by raising his hand, and after pondering for a while, he glanced at the corner of his mouth and said, "Miss Mo won't show her face?"

Mo Yunxiao also thought for a while, and replied: "I sold your face today, I am afraid that the brothers from the Cao Gang will come to take my head tomorrow."

"Hmph!" Liu Dadao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Ms. Mo is deliberately making fun of us. We know all the details of your Hecao gang. Since the girl refuses to show face, it's better to have a fair fight." In the contest, if you win, I will never mention the matter of water transportation; but if brother and I win by half a move, please ask the girl to go to the water gang to negotiate peace."

Hearing this, Mo Yunxiao felt her palms sweating. Seeing the tall and burly man in front of her, she was afraid that she would have little chance of winning in a martial arts competition, so she asked softly, "I don't know what brother Liu wants to compete with?"

Liu Dadao drank the wine in the jug, wiped the corners of his mouth with his arm, and said, "You and I don't want to enter, but if it's better than punching and kicking, brother, I take advantage of being heavy. Hmm... so Well, the battle between gentlemen is nothing more than archery. Let's compare archery."

"Archery?" Mo Yunxiao was taken aback for a moment, and panicked even more.What is certain now is that the owner of this body has a foundation of boxing skills, but he doesn't know how to shoot.What if she had never practiced archery.

Liu Dadao stood up, with his hands behind his back, pacing and explaining: "You and I are different from men and women. If you compete in boxing skills, I am afraid that people will say that I am invincible and use force to overwhelm others. The most important thing is to compare archery. Fair and reasonable. How about it, Miss Mo, can you show me your face?"

"This..." Mo Yunxiao lowered her head and murmured, but she kept complaining in her heart: "Oh, Mo Yunxiao, Mo Yunxiao, why are you making people worry like this? It's okay to annex Fanlou, why are you still involved with the underworld We got together, and now you don’t know where you went, so you asked me to clean up this mess. Oh, I only pray for God’s blessing, as long as I get through this, I will definitely offer a lot of incense money in the future..."

Seeing her strange expression, Liu Dadao also turned his head and asked, "Miss Mo, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah? Me!" She was startled suddenly, and stood up in a panic, only to hear a "boom", and the stool she was sitting on was also brought down because of her panic.

Liu Dadao couldn't help frowning, and murmured in his heart: "This Mo Yunxiao has the nickname of 'Female Yan Luo', but why is she so pussy? Are the rumors in the market all exaggerated? But it's not true, if this person is worthless, why the Cao Gang?" So close to her again? Could it be that she deliberately made fun of me?"

"Compare! Am I still afraid of you!" Mo Yunxiao said while arranging her somewhat messy clothes.

"Hahaha! Then please!" Liu Dadao raised his hand and pointed outside the gate.Mo Yunxiao looked back and saw a small courtyard outside the door.She silently recited "Amitabha" three times, then strode out.

After leaving the gate of the central hall, turn around the courtyard and you will find a martial arts arena where you can run horses.

Mo Yunxiao looked around and saw torches were lit all around Nuo Da's martial arts arena, illuminating the night sky very brightly.

Some people in bunt clothes were wrestling and playing, or playing with weapons on the weapons rack.When they saw Liu Dadao and Mo Yunxiao, they all gathered together, shouting one after another: "Tuantou!" "Tuantou!"

With a smile on his face, Liu Dadao said to Mo Yunxiao who was beside him: "Please don't take offense, girl, my brothers here are all rough people, and they don't understand the etiquette of your rich and noble families."

Mo Yunxiao was nervous and flustered, so she could only force a smile and said nothing.

"Go, bring two archery targets. I want to shoot three rounds with Ms. Mo." Liu Dadao ordered.

"Yes." A group of subordinates agreed, and then scattered away like floating clouds.After a while, they brought two archery targets over and placed them at the place where the two hundred paces ended.Someone handed over a crossbow and a cloth bag full of arrow tufts.

Liu Dadao raised the crossbow and pulled the bowstring towards the sky, only to see that his muscles were loose, but the bow was fully drawn.Then, he relaxed slightly, and the bowstring gradually tightened, returning to its original state.

Seeing it, Mo Yunxiao was even more terrified, thinking in her heart: "Oops, this guy is so strong, pulling this hard bow is like a joke. I am a weak woman, how can I compare to him?" She The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, beads of sweat rolled down from my forehead.

Liu Dadao looked at her sideways, and asked with a smile, "Why is the girl sweating?"

"Oh, it's hot! It's so stuffy." She forced a smile and said while wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hands.

Liu Dadao also smiled knowingly, and said: "This bow has three hundred stones, and one arrow can pierce Yang with a hundred steps. Don't say it's going up the mountain to hunt a pheasant and a hare, even on the battlefield it's enough to make people frightened."

"Yes! Yes! Yes..." Mo Yunxiao echoed absent-mindedly.

"Young lady is a guest, how about trying three arrows first?" He said and sent the crossbow to Mo Yunxiao's hand, hoping that she would take it.

But Mo Yunxiao took a step back, and hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, you don't have to be polite, why don't you shoot first, little sister dare not overstep."

"Hahaha!" Liu Dadao smiled heartily, then bent his bow and set his arrow.He didn't seem to use much force, the bow was fully drawn, making a "branching" sound.

"Miss Mo is too polite. I'm just a beggar leader. I don't want to overstep."

While he was speaking, there was a "swish" sound from the cluster of arrows, like a shooting star piercing the sky, and it flew straight to the cluster of arrows in front of him.

Mo Yunxiao stared straight at the eyes, and before she could recover, Liu Dadao's second arrow had already hit the target.

"Girl call me big brother, and I'll take you for my sister." Liu Dadao said as he shot an arrow: "Do you know who is whitewashing the peace in this world, who is doing everything under the guise of sharing worries for the officials?" Goodness!"

Speaking of this, he became furious, and "whoosh" shot straight at the bull's-eye, which also made Mo Yunxiao's heart tremble, and he was greatly shocked.

Liu Dadao took the third arrow from the quiver, put it on again, and said, "Miss is right. Since ancient times, no one has interfered with the water transportation. However, we brothers also have to have something to eat. If this world is really a clear world , why do we bother to fight the Cao Gang for life and death." He frowned, and the third arrow shot out with a mournful howl.

A voice came from a distance: "Three arrows are shot, two arrows hit the bull's-eye, and one arrow is half an inch lower."

"Oh?" Liu Dadao seemed dissatisfied with the result, showing some suspicion.

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "Brother was upset when he shot three arrows and missed his aim. Why don't you shoot another arrow and you will surely hit the target."

Liu Dadao looked at her, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "I am a man, there is no reason to break the contract and cheat. Three arrows will be three arrows. Next, let Miss Mo show her archery skills."

"Ah?" Mo Yunxiao asked him to shoot again, originally wanting to delay a little, but he didn't make it.He had no choice but to stretch out a slightly trembling hand to take the strong bow.
