Chapter 20 Chapter 20 The Blue Shirt

From Lanzhou to Ganliang, the most ideal place to rob is near Anxi Fort. Lanzhou is the location of King Su's Mansion. In addition to the Lanzhou Guard, there are also the three guards of the Palace. The idlers and others can't think of fighting with open flames in Lanzhou. The first stop is Zhuanglangwei. Its jurisdiction starts from Kushuiwan Castle in the south and stops at Hongchengzi Castle on the way. Commander Zhuang Langwei's surname is Lu, who was originally from Xidatongbao in Southwest Wei, and is a Sinicized Mongol. The first to belong to the Ming Dynasty, the ancestor was named Ashda, who had military merits; the second biography, Gong Bu Shijia, was appointed Zhuang Langwei to command Tongzhi.The third pass changed the Han surname to Lu Jian.

This commander was famous for his loyalty, bravery and determination. During the orthodox period, Guyuan Manchu rebelled four times. He led the soldiers of Benwei to the expedition and made great contributions. In the hundreds of miles around here, all the Mongols only listen to his orders, and only he can govern those naturalized and fierce peoples. In his jurisdiction, no one dares to do anything wrong. In any remote corner, there is no way to hide a criminal. For those who entered the country and committed crimes, they were executed in full accordance with local customs. His team of patrolling hussars can chase seven or eighty miles in an hour, and any fast horse thief will hardly escape the lightning-like pursuit.

To the north of Wusheng Fort, the land belongs to Gulang Qianhusuo. The head of the household was mediocre, and the neighborhood was full of thieves and gangsters.Anxi Fort in Maya Mountain is such a lawless place where bandits are harbored. This is the reason why this group of evil heretics from the Central Plains chose Anxi Fort to fight. The young and old of the beautiful bearded Li family stayed in Lanzhou, which disappointed this group of lawless gangsters. If they stay here for one more day, they will be more concerned about leaking the news. However, there is no other way but to wait.

During the period before noon, Daoist Tiangang, the mastermind of the civet cat, brought several other henchmen to join them one after another. This well-known Daoist Tiangang in Jianghu is said to have been born in Wudang, and some people said that he was a disciple of Wudang. Tiangang swordsmanship is superb, and he is well-known in Jianghu. During this period, the heroes began to move, and they did not hesitate to coerce and lure them to win over those who were few and weak to form an alliance to expand their strength. Emotions gradually become uneasy with the passage of time, and the superficial politeness between people gradually disappears, replaced by suspicion and hatred.

The hostility between gangs is becoming clearer, and there are warning signs of incompatibility between individuals. Conflict of interest, how can hostility be avoided?If there were no factors of mutual utilization, this group of people would have launched a rush to eradicate dissidents long ago. It was near noon that day, the south side of the official road was full of cries, and a man came riding a small gallop. It was a tall and strong Dawan horse, commonly known as Zaoliu. The knight on horseback was young, tall, with ape arms and shoulders, majestic and strong, with a ruddy complexion with a touch of dust, with delicate features and bright eyes.

Wearing a blue strong suit, a hero scarf on the head, half boots on the feet, a wide leather waist, and a long sword.There are hundreds of treasure bags and leather water bags hanging under the side.There is a horse bag on the back of the saddle, and you can tell it is a long-distance traveler at a glance. A man in green shirt stood at the gate of the fort, and a big man stood outside the tea pavilion.Outside the rest shed, there stood a sturdy Iron King Kong. The three of them greeted Xiaochi's Jian Ma, and there were too many questions in their eyes. The steed galloped forward, approaching the gate of the fort and stopping slowly.The blue-step knight glanced at the three nearby Jianghu athletes who were staring at him, and then turned to look at the Anxi Inn not far from the gate of the fort.

On the big golden lantern outside the inn door, the words Anxi Inn can be seen clearly, and you can even see the wine flag waving in the wind. Tie King Kong has a sharp trick, and at a glance he can tell that the other party is a friend from the Central Plains. His heart is inevitably moved, and he waved and called: Hi!Brother Taiwan, are you from the Central Plains? The knight in blue sat high on the carved saddle, flicked his whip lightly and said with a faint smile: Yes, Zhongyuan. Where are you going? Gan Liang, maybe further away. Never go to Turpan. Maybe further away, Samarkand, Tianfang.

The Mongols who fled to the west established their capital in Samarkand, once ran wild in Eurasia, ravaged the kingdoms of heaven, burned Baghdad three times, and ruled Moscow. Huchun Chi Khan is currently in power, and the power of the country has declined. The capital is still in Samarkand, and he still maintains contacts with the Ming Dynasty, but his relationship with the Mongolians (Northern Yuan), who are still nomadic in the east, is not close enough. Because of the long-term turmoil, the Mongols in Samarkand have converted to Islam, which is the result of long-term exchanges with Arabia.However, the tribes in the east believed in Lamaism, and the two were incompatible, which is not surprising.

At present, people are officially prohibited from going out of the country, but exiled businessmen often gang up to smuggle through Yumen Pass, and trade as far as Samarkand, thousands of miles away. Of course, there are also spies sent by the imperial court. More than a hundred years ago, Timur Khan dispatched 400,000 cavalry and 200,000 infantry to brave the cold and forcibly cross the Wuhu River, marching towards Yumen Pass, hoping to return to the Central Plains. Little did he know that the imperial court's intelligence had already arrived, and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty gathered at the border, ready to attack head-on.If it hadn't been for Timur Khan who died of illness on the way to the army, it is still unknown who will win the battle.

But it can be asserted that Timur Khan will not succeed, and the intelligence had arrived two months ago.The imperial court was able to calmly dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops and horses to meet them, and it was doomed to fail. The tribute envoys of Samarkand enter the customs once every three years, so the local people are no strangers to Samarkand. Tie Jingang didn't know Samarkand, and he didn't know what Tianfang was, so he said with a strange smile: "Go south, no matter how far you go, you're all under the sky anyway, if you want to go, go, it's best not to stay here."

You drive me away?the blue knight asked calmly. It's good that you understand. Instead, the blue-clothed knight got off his horse and said, "It's already noon, but I want to fight here." Dajian means to rest and eat. If it is dusk, it can be interpreted as lodging. Tie King Kong came to his senses a little bit, and sneered: So you are also a friend on the Tao, so why put on airs?Hit the tip, you come in! hehe!Your brother has a lot going on.Said the knight in blue, and led the horse towards the gate of the castle. Tie Jingang's eyes fell to the south, and said: Your Excellency still has companions, why don't you go? The knight in blue turned his head and looked back. The horses were galloping in and out to the south, and the dust was flying. Two horses were galloping towards this place. He furrowed his brows deeply, and said: Those are not my companions, but two girls with swords. They came from Lanzhou, and they caught up! You also come from Lanzhou?Iron King asked. Didn't you ask in vain?Among the Central Plains people who travel north and west, who doesn't come from Lanzhou? What is your last name? The surname is Xin and the first name is Wu.oh!Heard of my character? Say your nickname, maybe I know it. nickname?oh!You see I am all in blue. Yes, blue eyes. Therefore, my nickname is Blue Shanke. Blue shirt?Never heard of your character. On the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, there are tens of thousands of friends who break the road, and there are not a few people with similar nicknames. Isn't there a dozen or twenty people in blue shirts?The blue shirt guest Xin Wu half-jokingly asked. Tie King Kong snorted, and said proudly: Although there are many friends who break through the road, there are only a few people who really make a name for themselves.I only know people with famous names, and I don't bother to inquire about those juniors who add their own names. oh!Your Excellency's tone is not small.Dude, tell me your name!Let's see if I, a self-proclaimed junior, have heard of your name. Tie Jingang's face sank, and he sneered and said: Junior, are you an explorer? The blue shirt guest also opened his eyes, and said with a sneer: Your Excellency is too domineering, you are only allowed to ask for your name, are you not allowed to ask back questions? If what I expected is not bad, your brother is probably a junior who made his own name, and it would be embarrassing to say it. Tie King Kong rushed up in anger, took two steps and shouted: Junior, you are courting death.If you have been in the rivers and lakes for two days, you should know the name of Guo Wei, the iron king. How dare you speak so presumptuously? The blue-shirted guest smiled faintly, raised his hand to the big man in the tea booth and asked with a smile: Brother, please, have you ever heard of the name of this Iron King Kong? The big man probably wanted to fan the flames and watch the excitement, he shook his head and said: Sorry, I have never heard of it, I have only been in the rivers and lakes for a day and a half. The blue shirt guest laughed loudly, and said to Tie King Kong: "Listen!"This is not what I said. Next time, don't use your own name to bluff people, lest you make a joke.hehe Tie King Kong couldn't bear it anymore, he rushed in two steps and punched like a mountain, Heihu secretly punched his chest, using 50% of his real strength, the fist was powerful and powerful, and he wished to flatten the opponent with one punch. The guest in blue came prepared, and the other party's attack was exactly what he wanted.With a flick of the horsewhip in his right hand, it hit Tie Jingang's right hand pulse door exactly, and the fist swung out involuntarily, opening the door wide open. puff!With a sound, the blue-shirted guest kicked Tie Jingang's lower abdomen, faster than lightning, and there was no chance for the opponent to dodge. If the kick is five inches lower, Iron King Kong's genitals are sure to shine. Tie King Kong screamed, Deng Deng Deng retreated four or five steps in a row, almost fell down, his face changed drastically, and he let out a tiger roar, the hungry tiger pounced on the sheep again, his hands were like claws, and he grabbed him fiercely. . Xin Wu, the blue-shirted guest, threw away the reins and whip, and waited until the claws were about to reach his body. Then he summoned the boy to pray to the Buddha, and put his hands together to break up the claws first. The moves are ordinary and there is no difference. The wonderful thing is that the control is just right. Once a move is made, it is impossible for the opponent to change the move. Iron King Kong's claws were split to the left and right by the ferocious force, and his body became an undefended city. Then, the head was buckled, and Qianjun's strength reached his body, not only fast but also accurate.The force was so heavy that I couldn't help myself, and my head drooped. The man in blue shirt didn't stop doing anything, he raised his right knee and loosened his hands. puff!Iron King Kong's chin was hit by a knee, and the fierce and incomparable shock force made him dizzy and dizzy. Stars appeared in front of his eyes, as if he had been hit by a ten thousand catty boulder. His body straightened up and fell backwards. Inner family vs. inner family, qigong beats qigong, the one with the deepest qigong wins, you can't take advantage of it. Iron King Kong's Hunyuan Qigong has been practiced to 80% of the fire, but he still can't withstand the heavy and merciless blow from the blue shirt man, so he retreats sharply, holding on and refusing to fall. The man in blue caught up and stretched out his foot to hook him. boom!Tie King Kong finally fell down, with blood coming out of his mouth, he turned over and jumped up in a dizzy manner. Oops!The guest in the blue shirt was waiting on the sidelines, but he hadn't stood still yet, bang!boom!puff!There were three violent bangs, and each of the left and right cheeks and waist and abdomen received heavy punches. puff!Iron King Kong got down this time. The man in blue clapped his hands and said with a smile: Brother, don't use your name to bluff people next time. Tie Jingang knelt up, gritted his teeth and reached out for his saber. Two healthy horses had already stopped by the roadside, and two young girls in dark green double-breasted riding clothes were standing on the sidelines. A young girl said with a charming smile: "Big man, you must be unlucky if you use a knife. You have been beaten to death with fists and feet. I'm afraid you will lose your head if you use a knife!" The blue-shirted man leaned over and picked up the whip, and pulled it out with his backhand, snap!There was a thump when Tie Jingang was holding the knife, and it happened to hit the numb tendon on the inside of the elbow bone. Hey Iron King Kong screamed, his elbows twitched violently, he suffered a lot, like a sick cat. The blue-shirted guest glanced at the two girls, and said coldly: Girls are talkative and will cause trouble, so don't rush your way! The leading girl was as beautiful as a flower, and she smiled sweetly and said: Your Excellency, mind your own business! After finishing speaking, he waved his whip to his companions, and with a sudden sound of hooves, he galloped towards the gate of the fort and headed straight for Anxi Inn. The blue shirt guest wanted to stop him, but turned his tiger's eyes, but held back, led his horse and followed, and walked towards Anxi Inn. After fastening his mount to the horse stakes, he stepped into the shop and called to the shop assistant, "Where is the canteen?"I want some wine and food to satisfy my hunger, and I have to hurry! A big man in Tsing Yi followed outside the door, giggling and saying: "Brother, you are already here, so you don't have to hurry!"If you miss this fort, there will be no such store. Anyway, you can't make it to Zhenqiangbao tonight, so just drop off here!If you miss Sutou, make sure to make dim sum of jackals, tigers and leopards. The blue-shirted guest suddenly turned around and said grimly: Your Excellency, don't make up for others.Your kindness is appreciated, you can shut up! The big man rolled his eyes strangely and was about to explode when a charming girl in colorful clothes walked out of the inner hall. She turned her phoenix eyes and called out in a charming voice: "Yan Yong, it's none of your business." Yan Yong's anger disappeared completely, he bowed his body and obediently responded, and left the shop. The blue-shirted man glanced at the girl in colorful clothes, then turned around and followed the shop assistant into the dining hall next door. The dining hall is not big, with six heavy Eight Immortals tables and a small door leading to the kitchen at the back. There are already three diners at the two tables by the window, two of them are the girls in green clothes who just left the store. The girls of the Han family dined generously in the dining hall, which was very rare; but these two girls were calm and calm, smiling and chatting in a low voice as if no one else was around, waiting for the food to be served skillfully, without restraint. The two women turned their heads lightly, and smiled maliciously at the blue shirt guest who entered the hall, as if greeting him or demonstrating. He ignored it, with a look of vigilance in his eyes. In Huangcunyedian, everything is simple.The clerk invited the guests to sit down, cleaned up the table without expression, and asked casually: "What would the guest officer want to eat?"Please order. Bring two jugs of wine, cut a plate of meat to make do with it.he said with a smile. The food for the two girls at the next table was brought, each with a big bowl of mutton soup, and two pairs of slender hands, skillfully tearing the hard buns into the bowls. His food and drinks have arrived, and a bowl of wine has not been finished yet. An old man with a big horse face came in and stood by his table gloomyly. Very unfriendly. At the entrance of the dining hall, there were also two people standing with their elbows crossed.They are Chao Fei, the civet cat, and Zhang Quan with his partner. The hall was full of strong hostility, and the atmosphere became tense. He drank the wine in the bowl, filled it up, and said with a faint smile: "Master Daoist, don't be so condescending, if you want to sit down, just sit down!"There are plenty of stools, so you don’t have to give up your seat! The old Taoist snorted coldly, pulled out a bench with his feet and sat down gloomyly. The Taoist priest doesn't look like a real person from Kongtong Mountain in Pingliang?He said. Are you the blue shirt guest Xin Wu?The old man asked a question for the first time. It's just the next one. Is it a real name? That is of course, of course the name is self-inflicted. Judging by your age, you don't look like someone who has successfully made a name for himself.The old man said disdainfully. This is the truth, how do you call the Taoist priest? Poor Dao Tiangang. oh!Nice to meet you.Dao Chang's thirty-six-style Tiangang swordsmanship is said to be unmatched in the martial arts world, and it is known as the best in the martial arts world. It's not heard, but the fact, don't you want to try it? Don't dare to learn.Xin is not someone who wants to get away with it. The swordsmanship that he has learned almost kills pigs and dogs. It is not worth laughing by experts. I would rather hide my clumsiness.He said self-deprecatingly, but his tone contained sarcasm. The old man Tiangang didn't want to have a premature attack before he found out his details. The old man smiled sinisterly and said: It turns out that the benefactor has already figured out the details of the poor man. It is not accidental to strike the Iron King Kong, but to test our strength on purpose. He turned his sword eyebrows, his face darkened, and said coldly: I don't understand what you said. What is the plan of the benefactor when he came to the store, why not explain it straight to the point? what do you want me to say? Pindao doesn't care which side you are from, and who is instigated to fight against Pindao.A bell will not ring until it is struck, and a drum will not ring unless it is struck; words must be spoken clearly first. But our gathering at the Anxi Inn, on the surface, looks like we have aspirations together. Everyone is here for the beautiful bearded man Li Jiadong. The conflict has clear boundaries, and no one is willing to let go. He coldly looked at the people around him, all he saw were stern faces, and all he met were hostile eyes, and he said calmly: "Master Daoist, you have said a lot, and I am confused by your words." The old Taoist Tiangang laughed, stood up and left his seat and said: If you are really confused, that's a good thing.You remember, Pindao doesn't care about your festival of playing Iron King Kong, but there will never be a next time, understand? I still don't understand. Don't pretend to be confused.Remember, Pindao has warned you.Pindao doesn't want to break the current situation of living together for the time being, and we will definitely have a day to clean up the festival afterwards. After the old Taoist finished speaking coldly, he left the hall boldly. He continued to drink, and continued to say: Strange thing, this inn is really a bit evil. He stretched out his foot and gently touched the bench that Tiangang old man had sat on, and the bench suddenly split in the middle and collapsed.The surface of the stool that was more than a foot long where the old Taoist sat was shattered like powder when it collapsed. The green-clothed girl was startled, and said in surprise: "What a pure fossil rot magic skill." Chao Fei, the civet cat at the door, sneered and said, "You haven't seen the magic of melting gold through spacers, have you?" Have you seen it?The girl asked with a smile. Daoist Tiangang has such magical powers.The civet said proudly. very impressive!The man in blue shirt said calmly. So you better not compete with us.Civet took the opportunity to warn. The meaning of the other party has been clearly expressed. Xin Wu smiled lightly, and said indifferently: I will remember it. The skinny Shashou opened his mouth and asked: Your Excellency is still a little bit unwilling to give up. He looked at the other party and smiled and asked: "Does your lord also want to show off your hands?" Zhang Paojin said proudly: "What strange science do you want to see?" He raised the wine bowl in his hand and said: You can break the bowl with one palm. Sha Shou Zhang replied with action, and swung his backhand, like a flash of lightning, pop!A sound hit the wine bowl. Ouch!Sha Shouzhang hung his hands and yelled wildly, his face was ashen and he retreated in defeat. Not only was the bowl in Xin Wu's hand unbroken, but even half of the wine in the bowl remained intact, as if it hadn't been affected in any way. He put down the wine bowl, shook his head and said: Brother, you are far behind Daoist Tiangang, why bother to show yourself? Sha Shou Zhang backed away as if he had seen a ghost, and fled out of the hall. The civet also turned pale, and staggered out of the hall in horror. The two green-clothed girls chuckled and shook their heads. Outside the door, the girl in colorful clothes slowly left with a solemn expression. The leading girl withdrew her smile, lowered her voice and said sincerely: Master, why bother wading through this nest of water, you are a master of art, with a righteous face, and you are by no means heretics.The beautiful bearded man is famous all over the world, so he won't form an indissoluble enmity with his brother. Although his voice was low, he could hear every word. He smiled lightly, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the other party: Girl, don't use words to make excuses.You have been following the next two days, and the thought that you are about to die will be of great benefit to you. you He put down the bowls and chopsticks, walked out of the hall, put a piece of broken silver on the cabinet, and under the gaze of several pairs of unfriendly strange eyes, he walked out of the shop with great strides. The midday sun seemed a bit hot, and the horse beside the hitch was moving its hooves uneasily.He took off the whip and untied the reins quietly. A clerk at the store door casually asked: Is the guest officer leaving? He led the horse, turned the saddle and got on the track: Yes, after two trips, we should be able to reach Andabao tonight. Before the healthy horse galloped out, his expression changed. Not far from the gate of the fort, two big men are closing the gate of the fort and putting up bars. There were people approaching from all around, about fifteen or sixteen people, each with a weapon.Among them is the old Taoist Tiangang, and Yan Yong is accompanied by a girl in colorful clothes. Heimei Tang Gang and his wife stood side by side in the southeast corner, and said with a weird smile: Your Excellency, do you want to leave? Knowing that trouble was coming, he got off the horse vigilantly, put the rein on the horse post again, slowly moved forward five or six steps, and asked calmly: Yes, what's wrong with leaving on the road? The silver-haired old yin woman paused with her dragon head stick, and said in a strange voice: You, a junior, have two possibilities to leave at this time. One is that you are a friend of Li Jiadong, and you want to escape to ventilate and call the police.The second is that you are greedy and want to go forward and gather party members to fight first.Junior, tell me!Do you want to speak up? He looked around calmly, feeling a little uneasy. In addition to the fifteen or sixteen people scattered around, there were also some seemingly unrelated people walking around the periphery.All attention was on him. The girl in Caiyi brought a maid, and three big men stood on the right side of the store door and watched him as if nothing had happened. From the window of the cafeteria, the two girls in green looked out nervously. This was the only non-hatred look he saw, and he seemed to feel the concern in their eyes. He felt his heartstrings being shaken, and his heart surged. Surrounded by powerful enemies, every pair of eyes is showing a fierce look, but there are two pairs of concerned and friendly eyes, no wonder his heart fluctuates. Could it be that these two girls who followed him for two days without distinguishing between friends and foes were friends rather than enemies? He felt very confused and had to get out of the predicament in front of him. Now was not the time to think about friend and foe. His eyes returned to the old woman, and he said coldly: I have nothing to say. You have to say it.said the old woman sharply. You must be disappointed, old woman.he said in a low voice. The mouse-like three-inch nail stood on the tall carriage seat and shouted: "My friend, show your attitude." He sneered and asked: If I express my attitude, will you leave me? Of course, but that is my personal opinion. With so many of you, personal opinions are not taken seriously.This means that you cannot be the master.he said disdainfully. The old Taoist Tiangang said as if to smooth things over: The benefactor has no other way but to stay.At the same time, in today's situation, if the benefactor does not show his attitude, it will not be good.We all doubt your identity, you will not let us down, because you are not stupid. It is impossible to leave the truth safely, unless he can defeat so many masters of the rivers and lakes.Who knows how many masters among these people are as terrifying as Daoist Tiangang? Of course, this is also his intention to stay. Without the certainty of victory, it is not advisable to be brave and avoid accidents. He let out a long breath and said in concession: "Okay!"stay here. Staying is not enough.Someone called. He snorted, his tiger eyes opened angrily, and said in a deep voice: Your Excellency, don't push people too far.I promised to stay, but I was already giving in under duress, and my face was already dull.I will not interfere in your affairs. I hope that during this stay, we can live in peace and have no conflicts. The old yin woman had to be reasonable and refused to let others, and said strangely: You must show your attitude, otherwise What else?he asked displeased. Otherwise you will die.The old woman said grumpily. He was furious, and said word by word: Old woman, don't bully others too much, I am young and energetic, and patience has a limit. After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the mount. In front of so many masters of the rivers and lakes, the old yin woman was ridiculed by a young junior, her face was really dull, she couldn't get off the stage, she couldn't help becoming angry from embarrassment, and shouted: "Stop!"It depends on how much you can endure. He slowed down and resumed his steps, ignoring him. Jiuyou Niang Guo Widow's face turned cold, and she said to the old yin woman: "Old yin woman, don't take it too far, everything is enough, don't force him." Jiuyouniang defended him against injustices, and Sancunding was forced off the counter by the old woman in the store yesterday, and she was bitter about it, planning to retaliate all the time, how could she easily let go of this good opportunity? He laughed strangely and said: Yes, old woman, please don't say a few words!There are 20 or 30 well-known masters and famous figures in the Jianghu. Everyone is not a leader, but your old woman insists on showing off her might. Who are you?You can't keep him at all. The biggest problem with martial arts friends is that they are arrogant, unable to stand teasing, disagreeing with each other, and will not hesitate to fight with swords, especially when face is at stake. The old woman is vicious and vicious, with a narrow mind, how can she stand the excitement? With a stern cry, he rushed up quickly, and the dragon's head and stick came to press down on the top of Mount Tai, like a collapsing mountain.Hitting Xin Wu's head, the stick was heavy and powerful, and it was extremely fast. Xin Wu seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and he floated eight feet forward, dodging the fatal blow in time, then turned around suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Old woman, what are you doing?" There's no shame in attacking from behind.The Three Inch Nails screamed strangely. These two sentences add fuel to the flames.
