Chapter 7 Tit for Tat
There was a thunderbolt, and the rain poured down.

Wuji still sat motionless on the bow of the boat, the pouring rain soon soaked him all over.

He hated rain since he was a child. When it rained, he would be locked in the room and read scriptures that he still couldn't fully understand.

But now he doesn't hate the rain, the rain can at least calm his mind.

'Shangguan Ren is in Tangjiabao. '

Now that he knows the whereabouts of his enemy, how should he take revenge?
"The area of ​​Tangjiabao is very large. I'm not sure where he is, but I heard that he is already a widow with the owner of the castle."
The younger sister got engaged and became one of the directors of several important departments within the Tang family. '

Shangguan Ren lost his wife in his early years.

The Tang family's foreign policy is exactly the same as that of the Han Dynasty, and they like to use "marriage" as a means of making friends.Shangguan Ren's
This marriage just happened to be a guarantee between him and the Tang family.

"In recent years, the Tang family has a prosperous population and a large number of masters have emerged. After the alliance with Thunderbolt Hall, the power has become even stronger. Mr. Tang Er and Tang Ao,

Brother Tang Yu, although they are quite famous in the Jianghu, there are still some unknown masters in Tangjiabao, who may be even more respectable than them.
Afraid. '

In fact, Xuanyuan Yiguang didn't need to say these things at all, Wuji already knew about them.

After this year of arduous training, he has matured much more than anyone imagined.

□□□

Xuanyuan Yiguang had already hid in the boat tent, he didn't want to be exposed to the rain, but he didn't object to others being exposed to the rain.

Wuji finally raised his head, looked at him, suddenly smiled, and said, "I know what you're thinking!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Oh?"

Wuji smiled and said, "You are afraid that I will go to Tangjiabao to die!"

Xuanyuan Yiguang admitted.

Wuji said: "But don't worry, I am no longer the kind of stare-eyed, dumbfounded, just want to find the enemy to die

I'm such a young man, I will never rush to Tangjiabao to look for Shangguan Ren with tears in my eyes and red eyes. '

His demeanor was calm, 'cause now I've learned that pain and urges don't fix anything, the more you hurt

The more bitter you are, the happier your enemies are, and the more impulsive you are, the happier your enemies will be. '

Xuanyuan Yiguang smiled. 'I have long seen that you are not the kind of little bastard who pretends to be a filial son. '

Wuji said: "You just saw that I was fooled again, but I guarantee that it will be the last time." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang smiled and said, "I hope it will be the last time." '

Wuji said: "I can also guarantee that I will never die for nothing, as long as Shangguan Ren is alive, I will not die." '

He didn't gnash his teeth and swear with tears in his heart. This calm attitude showed his determination even more.

Wuji said: "I kept an eye on the three people you came here all the way, and I will never let them go back alive." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "What are you going to do?"

Wuji thought calmly and didn't answer.

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "If you want to fish, you have to choose a good place. I know there is a lion forest. It's a big place, surrounded by many trees...

Wuji interrupted him and said, "I know that place, I've been there." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "In an open place, it is easy to dodge hidden weapons, and in a place with many trees, it is easy to find cover." '

Wuji said: "But it is easy for them to escape in an open place, and they are in a dark place, but our hands are not enough to escape."
enough. '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said, "Do you think that place is bad?"

Wuji said, "Not good." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Then you—"

Wuji interrupted him again, and suddenly asked, "How did you get into Tangjiabao?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "On the surface, Tangjiabao looks like a prosperous town. There are several streets and dozens of

Shops, you name it, are everywhere. '

Wuji said: "Since there is a shop, of course it is inevitable to communicate with outside businessmen." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang smiled and said: "It's not bad at all, so I pretended to be a big businessman from Liaodong, and brought a large number of long

White ginseng and a large number of fur goods swaggered into Tangjiabao. '

Wuji said, "How did they find out that you, the big boss, are pretending?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "There is a little bastard in the Tang family, he played tricks on me when he gambled, and I beat him up, and later—

- '

He didn't go on.

At that time, he had to gamble and beat people, and he himself felt a little embarrassed.

Wuji smiled and said, "I remember an old saying among gamblers. '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Old sayings are usually good words, and there is always some truth in them." '

Wuji said: "Sometimes, there is more than one reason. '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "How did you say that old saying?"

Wuji said: "What is exported from gambling can only be recovered from gambling." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said with a smile: "It makes sense, it makes sense." '

Wuji said: "Last time they caught your tail from gambling, you might as well let them catch you again this time." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "As long as there is something to bet on, I always agree." '

Wuji said: "Although trees are a good kind of cover, there is another kind of cover that is better than trees." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "What is that?"

Wuji said: "People. '

Where there is gambling, of course there are people, as long as the gambling is lively, there will never be fewer people.

With Xuanyuan Yiguang around, of course there will be excitement.

Xuanyuan Yiguang suddenly shook his head and said: "This method is not good. '

Wuji said, "Why not?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "The Tang family's hidden weapons don't have eyes, if they hit someone else, wouldn't those people die unjustly?"
Wuji said: "Tang Jiabao is not a mob, they are also a martial arts family, and they also have their family rules, and their hidden weapons are even more powerful."
It is precious, and we will never place hidden weapons indiscriminately and hurt innocent people. '

He smiled, and said again: "So the more people there are, the more chaotic they are, the less they dare to throw hidden weapons at will." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "But in the chaos, wouldn't we also not be able to find them?"

Wuji said, "We can find it." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "Why?"

Wuji said: "Because Dafeng Hall has a sub-helm here, and there are always at least dozens of brothers in the sub-helm." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang finally understood: "So those who gamble with me are all brothers from Dafengtang?"

Wuji said: "Everyone is." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang said: "You want me to see each of them clearly first?"

Wuji said: "We can even make some marks on them that we can see but others can't.
If people from home come, then...'

Xuanyuan Yiguang hurriedly said: "It's like three grains of rat droppings fell into the pile of white rice, even a blind man can touch them out!"

Wuji smiled and said, "Not bad at all." '

Xuanyuan Yiguang shook his head suddenly and said: "This method is not good, at least it is not good at all." '

Wuji said, "Which point?"

Xuanyuan Yiguang laughed and said, "The people who gambled with me, since they are all my brothers, I am ashamed to win their money." '

There was a thunderbolt, and the rain poured down.

Qiao Wen stood at the window and saw the heavy rain outside the window like a bead curtain. He wanted to close the window at first, but he saw the god unconsciously.

It's a dry place, and it hasn't rained this much for a long time.

He still remembered that the last time a heavy rain came, it was at the end of September last year.

He remembered it so clearly because two rare guests came that night, one was Qu Ping, and the other was Zhao Qian, the eldest lady of the Zhao family.
thousand.

It was a standard autumn tiger weather that day. It was extremely hot during the day. The torrential rain at night just washed away the heat of the day.

, He prepared some wine, vegetables and fruits, and was about to drink two glasses.

At that time, Qu Ping and Qian Qian came, looking very embarrassed.

Later he found out that they had been living on Mount Jiuhua for two months in order to find Wuji, but they didn't find Wuji.
In Wuji, Fengniang disappeared instead.

The eldest lady had a bad temper, and she always scolded Qu Ping, very shamelessly.

Qu Ping was not angry at all.

After Feng Niang disappeared, they were alone in the mountains, what happened?
Of course Qiao Wen didn't ask, and he didn't dare to ask.He has always been a very stable and responsible person, although he has not done anything big
, but did not make a big mistake.

Although he felt that Qu Ping was a bit snobbish, he didn't dislike this young man who was willing to make progress. If Qu Ping could
He is also very happy to marry this eldest lady.

So, he asked people to add wine, add food, and prepare the guest room.

Miss Zhao insisted that she would leave that night. They came here just to ask him for travel expenses, asking for three
Thousand two.

3000 taels of silver is not a small amount, it can go a long way, where is this lady going?
Qiao Wen didn't ask either.

The more you do, the more mistakes you make, the more you talk about misfortunes, the more you know, the more troubles you will have.

This is the principle of his conduct.

Just because he has always grasped this principle, he was able to stay in this position for 20 years and lived a peaceful life for 20 years.

Last year, he was not unaware of the incident of the 'lucky leopard', nor was he completely ignorant of the 'lucky leopard' incident.

Leopard is the eldest son of Mr. Zhao.

But since Wuji didn't find him, he might as well pretend to be confused.

Who is the person Xuanyuan Yiguang told him to pick up today? He has some ideas in his mind.

But since people don't talk about it, why should he bother?
Doing more is more wrong, doing less is less wrong, not doing well.

Does a person in his 60s still want to make a big splash? Does he still want to climb up and become the hall master?
Now he has some savings, and has a few acres of land outside the city, which he sublets to a few honest tenants, and the rent is collected on time every year.

Since his wife got asthma, they separated the house, but he never wanted to marry the younger wife again.

Girls, he doesn't even touch them.

Dafengtang's rules are very strict, he can't let people gossip.

But if a fresh and clean little girl comes to the "Liuchunyuan" in the city, someone will always be sent to notify him, and he will occasionally arrange

A secluded place to enjoy half an evening.

It was a transaction where both money and goods paid off, and neither side lost money. He didn't need to be ashamed of it, and he wasn't afraid of getting into unnecessary trouble.

What's more, at his age, there is still "Yu Yong" to do this kind of thing, he is always somewhat complacent in his heart,
Every time afterward, I feel particularly refreshed and energetic.

For this kind of life, he already felt very satisfied.

□□□

The weather was getting a little cold again, he wanted to ask Baofu to prepare some food and drinks, he always liked to have a drink or two on a rainy night.

Baofu is his loyal servant. He has been with him for more than 20 years and always stays by his side.

However, today he called twice, but there was no response.

Baofu is not young, and his ears are not as sharp as before.After a while, he should be allowed to enjoy a few years of happiness.

Blessing, blessing, one must know how to keep one's own blessing, in order to be truly blessed.

Qiao Wen sighed inwardly, walked slowly to the door, and yelled loudly twice.

Sure enough, there was a response from outside.

'coming. '

As soon as he heard these two words, someone flew up.

It didn't come in or run in, it flew in, like a piece of wood, it flew up obliquely, and then
It fell to the ground with another 'beep' sound like a piece of wood.

This man is indeed Baofu, but he is dead because his neck has been broken.

□□□

Qiao Wen's whole body was cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

There was another thunderbolt, a lightning strike.

He saw a man, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, standing under the opposite eaves.

But when the second thunderbolt sounded, this person had suddenly arrived in front of him.

A very young man, with delicate features and rosy skin, looks like a girl.

Of course he didn't know that this person was Tang Yu, who was the most ruthless and hot-handed among the Tang family's children.

But based on his many years of experience, he already felt that once this person came, his peaceful life would come to an end.

He watched the man slowly put away the oiled paper umbrella and put it behind the door, trying his best to control himself and keep calm

Tang Yu finally raised her head, looked at him and smiled, and said, "Bao Fu has come, who else do you want?"

He smiled happily: "The 43 brothers in your sub-helm have already come, and they are all waiting in the yard outside. When you call
It's just that they won't walk in by themselves, of course. '

Qiao Wen's heart sank.

Although this man was all smiles and soft-spoken, he carried a biting murderous aura.

If this kind of person says that he has killed 43 people, there will definitely be 43 dead bodies lying in the yard.
missing one.

Qiao Wen knew that he was sweating all over his body, and he couldn't even control the muscles on his face.

43 people, 43 lives, all brothers who get along with him day and night.

Who is this person? Why did they do this to them?
Tang Yu smiled and said, "You can't see who I am, because I don't wear those clumsy and heavy buckskin gloves on my hands.
My hidden weapon will not be put in that damn skin, I don't want people to see my origin at a glance. '

Qiao Wen said, "Are you from the Tang family?"

Tang Yu said: "I am Tang Yu." '

Qiao Wen had heard this name before, more than once.

It is said that this person once set the record for killing the most people in one night—one hundred people from the "Ax Gang" who have been entrenched in eastern Sichuan for many years

Zero and three brothers all died in his hands overnight.

Qiao Wen suddenly asked, "Did you really kill one hundred and three people in one night?"

Tang Yu said, "That's a lie." '

He continued calmly: "I only killed 99 of them, and the other four were scared to death by myself." '

Qiao Wen sighed and said, "It seems that I am not your opponent either. '

Tang Yu said: "You are definitely not." '

Qiao Wen said: "When are you going to kill me?"

Tang Yu said: "I don't necessarily want to kill you. '

Qiao Wen said: "Am I still useful to you?"

Tang Yu said: "A little bit." '

Qiao Wen said: "What should I do for you so that you will spare my life?"

Tang Yu said, "What can you do for me?"

Qiao Wen said: "People in Dafengtang trust me very much. Although my brothers are all dead now, I just need to make up a story.
They still won't doubt me, so I can still be the rudder master of this sub-rudder here, and I can provide Dafengtang with secrets.
Here you are, some of you are here, and I can also find a way to take care of them. '

Tang Yu said: "That's great." '

Qiao Wen said: "I can even lure Zhao Wuji here for you, I know you must really want to kill him, cut the grass

dig up the roots. '

Tang Yu said: "It's absolutely correct. '

Qiao Wen said: "Although I am already an old man, the older I am, the more afraid of death I am." '

Tang Yu said: "I understand." '

Qiao Wen said: "I really like living this kind of life, and I really don't want to die, so in my spare time, I often think, if

What should I do when I encounter this situation today?'

Tang Yu said, "What do you think?"

Qiao Wen said: "My martial arts have been neglected for a long time, even if I fight with you, I will be humiliating myself." '

Tang Yu said: "You are very self-aware. '

Qiao Wen said: "So I decided a long time ago that if I encounter this situation, I will only sell Dafengtang to save my life."
. '

He continued slowly: "A person has only one life, no matter what happens, it is not as precious as his own life." '

Tang Yu said: "It's absolutely correct. '

Qiao Wen said: "So, if a person even wants to kill himself for other things, he must be a fool." '

Tang Yu smiled and said, "Of course you are not an idiot. '

Qiao Wen said: "I am." '

Tang Yu was obviously surprised: 'Are you an idiot?'

Qiao Wen said: "Until today, when I really encountered this situation, I didn't know that a person's death is not the most important thing."

, Sometimes it is better to be alive than to be dead. '

Tang Yu said, "Are you willing to be a fool?"

Qiao Wen said: "I am willing." '

□□□

Qiao Wen had already pounced on him, pounced on with all his strength, and punched Tang Yu's face hard.

To be able to stand alone and preside over the sub-helm of the Dafeng Hall, of course, he is by no means too useless.

He has also practiced martial arts hard, and his "Dahongquan" is very good. Although he has rarely shot in recent years, his shots are still

Soon, he used all his strength in this punch, and the punch became more violent.

He is working hard!
It's a pity that his opponent is Tang Yu.

When he swung his fist out, Tang Yu's finger pierced his Adam's apple.

He took two steps back slowly, and fell down slowly, as if a tired person fell asleep on the bed, looking
Surprisingly calm.

At this moment before dying, this person who is afraid of death has no fear at all.

Because he seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence, and now, he has finally got his wish.

He felt that he was worthy of Dafeng Hall and the 43 brothers in the courtyard.

He is also worthy of himself.

□□□

Seeing this person who was willing to be a fool fall down, what did Tang Yu think?
He always smiled when he killed, but this time his smile disappeared.

He always felt a cruel satisfaction and excitement after killing.

This time he felt empty.

He even thought he was boring.

Only now did he understand that it was usually impossible to tell whether a person was truly courageous.

People who are usually cowardly and useless, when faced with life and death, often show extraordinary courage and die generously.

People who usually pat their chests and say that they are not afraid of death, when it comes to this kind of time, they will instead run away.

Tang Yu couldn't help asking herself, 'If I were Qiao Wen, what would I do in today's situation?'

He doesn't want to know the answer.

He strode out quickly.

□□□

If Qiao Wen really did not hesitate to sell his friend to save his own life, Tang Yu would still kill him.

At that time, Tang Yu's mood was different after the murder.

He will find it very pleasant, because he has played with 'humanity' again.

But now he has understood that there is also a dignified side in human nature, and no one can lightly deny it.

It made him have a little respect for 'people' too - at least that's how he felt when he walked out.
