Angry Banana
Chapter 729 Beyond the Mortal Realm (Part 1)
Kuang Wenbo's words came from the other end of the alley, making You Hongzhuo slightly stunned.
“Luan Fei and Qin Xiang, that dog couple, they are subordinates of Wang Juyun, a rebel leader. Acting on behalf of Heaven, robbing the rich to help the poor? Ha! Don't you know, the money we robbed is all used to finance rebellions! In the Central Plains, do you think there are few people like them? Sworn brotherhood? That's to make you provide labor and earn money for others! Jianghu heroes? Go look on the streets, how many people carrying knives don't have someone standing behind them, whose hands aren't stained with blood. Iron Arm Zhou Tong was also a boxing teacher at the Imperial Boxing Hall, under the control of the imperial court!”
Now, among the major forces that have gained a foothold north of the Yellow River, the first is Tiger King Tian Hu, followed by General Pingdong Li Xizhi, both of whom nominally submit to the Great Qi. And beyond these, Wang Juyun's force, gathering millions, is also not to be underestimated, standing as a triad with Tian Hu and Li Xizhi. Because he opposes Great Qi and the Jurchens, he is nominally more justified, and many people call him a righteous army, while others, like Kuang Wenbo, call him a rebel army.
Seeing You Hongzhuo's stunned expression, Kuang Wenbo得意扬扬 raised his hand.
“Look, kid, you lost your parents when you were a teenager, went into the Jianghu and treated them as brothers, did they treat you as brothers? Of course, you hope it's true, but unfortunately... you thought you were doing it for Jianghu loyalty, the bond of sworn brotherhood, there's no such thing. You thought you were here today to avenge a bloody feud, where's that kind of feud? Wang Juyun claims to be a righteous army, secretly letting these people kill and loot, buying military equipment and supplies. His rule is full of male thieves and female prostitutes, I just can't stand it! Rob if you rob, kill if you kill, what's with talking about acting on behalf of Heaven! Bah—”
“It's okay for me to risk my life, either we're really brothers, and we divide what we rob together. Or pay for my life, but our Big Brother Luan, he tricked us, wants us to work hard and risk our lives, without spending a penny of silver. Tricking me into risking my life, I'll take his life! You Hongzhuo, do you understand this world? There are no heroes, it's all just talk for you to hear…”
“Then I understand…”
You Hongzhuo said in a low voice, muttering. He was not very old, and his body was not considered tall. At this time, he was slightly hunched over, and because of his dejected expression, he seemed even shorter. However, after saying this sentence, he pulled out the steel knife wrapped in his clothes behind his back.
“Yah—”
“You dare!”
The young man's roar suddenly rang out, mixed with the thunderous anger of the martial artist behind him. Among the three people behind him, one reached out and grabbed You Hongzhuo, the robe on You Hongzhuo's body "bang—哗—" tore in the air. The person grabbed the clothes on You Hongzhuo's back, pulling it taut, and then shattered with a bang. Half of it, connected to the sleeves, was cut off by You Hongzhuo with a knife.
Amidst the roar, the young man rushed like a tiger or leopard, straight at Kuang Wenbo. Kuang Wenbo was an experienced veteran in his thirties, who had been prepared for a long time, how could he be afraid of this kind of young man. Wielding a steel whip, he intercepted You Hongzhuo. The young man raised his long knife, approached, but released his embrace, and rushed forward with his whole body!
To die together!
Kuang Wenbo was a cautious person. After he betrayed Luan Fei and others, even if only You Hongzhuo escaped, he did not let it go. Instead, he mobilized manpower and remained vigilant. Because he understood that this kind of young man valued loyalty the most. If he ran away, so be it, but if he didn't, then the safest thing to do was to kill him as soon as possible.
He had prepared himself, and had previously used words to attack the other party, making it difficult for him to have the passionate blood for revenge. But he never thought that at this moment, the young man's sudden attack could still be so fierce and violent, that with the first move, he would exchange his life for another!
In these few days, due to several conversations with that Mr. Zhao, the young man thought about more things, and revered things more. However, those reverences and fears were more because of reason. At this moment, the young man was still the one who risked his life at the beginning. His eyes were red, and under the high-speed charge, he faced Kuang Wenbo's moves, neither blocking nor dodging, just stabbing straight with a knife!
Either step aside, or die together!
Kuang Wenbo stepped aside, and You Hongzhuo brushed past his body. After the steel whip stepped aside, it was swung down with the momentum. This hit You Hongzhuo's shoulder with a bang, and his entire body lost balance, falling forward. The alley was cool, and the road there was flowing with black sewage, and there were ditches with flowing sewage. For a moment, You Hongzhuo could not clearly tell whether the injury on his shoulder was serious. He lunged forward, fell into the sewage with a bang, rolled over, and picked up the silt in the ditch amidst the splashing of black water, and waved it towards Kuang Wenbo and others with a 哗.
This ditch was not far from a small vegetable market. The sewage had accumulated for a long time. The black water above was fine, but the silt and debris below had been deposited for a long time. Once waved, the huge stench was disgusting, and the black sewage made people subconsciously avoid it. But even so, a lot of mud
still hit Kuang Wenbo's clothes. In the splashing sewage, one person grabbed a hidden weapon and threw it out, and I don't know if it hit You Hongzhuo. The young man rushed out of the sewage, flipped a few times, climbed onto a pile of debris in the alley in front, and flipped over the courtyard wall next to him.
Here, a martial artist brought by Kuang Wenbo had also borrowed strength and flipped over the courtyard wall in a few steps.
The other side was just an ordinary residential courtyard. You Hongzhuo fell into a chicken coop, rolled over and rushed out staggeringly, smashing open the bamboo fence in front. Chicken feathers, straw, and bamboo chips flew everywhere. Kuang Wenbo and others chased in, picked up stones and threw them over. You Hongzhuo waved a wooden bucket back and threw it, and it was smashed in the air by the steel whip. The owner of the courtyard rushed out of the house, and then there were women's voices exclaiming and screaming.
The four chased one, and for a time it was a mess. You Hongzhuo ran wildly all the way, and flipped over the courtyard in front. Kuang Wenbo and others were getting closer and closer. He flipped over another courtyard wall, and in front was the street in the city. Outside the courtyard wall was a shed made of cloth, and You Hongzhuo didn't have time to react. He rolled down from the cloth shed. He fell on a box, and the shed also collapsed. Not far away, Kuang Wenbo flipped onto the wall and shouted angrily: "Where are you going!" He waved the steel whip and threw it out. The steel whip brushed past You Hongzhuo's head and hit a horse tied to the side of the street.
In an instant, a huge chaos spread in this street. The frightened horse kicked the horse next to it, struggled, and smashed the stalls next to it. You Hongzhuo fell to the ground in this chaos. Two masters behind him had already flew out, and one person kicked him in the back. You Hongzhuo only felt a sweetness in his throat, gritted his teeth, and still ran wildly. The frightened horse broke free from the pillar and ran behind his side. You Hongzhuo's mind was buzzing. He subconsciously wanted to pull its reins. The first time he reached out and missed, and the second time he reached out, he saw a boy standing in the middle of the road not far ahead, already stunned by the running people and horses.
Without thinking too much, at this moment, he jumped out, reached out and pushed the boy towards the vegetable basket next to him. The next moment, the running horse hit him.
You Hongzhuo flew out.
In the moment when his body was in the air, there were also shouts in the crowd. The masters who were chasing him had already come over, but on the side of the street, there was also a figure approaching like a storm. That person picked up the child with one hand, and the other hand seemed to pick up a wooden pole, and swept it out with a bang. The running horse rolled towards the side of the street with a crash.
The young man fell to the ground, struggled, but could no longer get up. His eyes flickered, and in a daze, he saw Kuang Wenbo and others approaching, wanting to grab him. The man holding the child and holding a long stick blocked a few people: "What are you doing! In broad daylight... I am a Liaozhou patrol officer..."
If You Hongzhuo was still awake, perhaps he could tell that the man who suddenly came over was highly skilled in martial arts. Just the strength of the casual stick that smashed the running horse out just now was far higher than Kuang Wenbo and others. However, although his martial arts were high, he didn't seem to have much confidence in his words. In the stalemate between the crowd, the soldiers patrolling in the city rushed over...
**************
When he woke up, the night was already very deep. There were all kinds of sounds around him, vaguely, scolding, screams, curses, groans... The thatched floor, the smell of blood and rotten flesh, and the small window in the back told him the time and where he was.
Ze Prefecture Prison.
On the way to escape in Ze Prefecture, You Hongzhuo was covered with a layer of silt, and was also covered with mud, chicken feathers, straw and other things, which was unspeakably dirty. When he was dragged in, the constables poured a few buckets of water on him. At that time, You Hongzhuo was briefly awake and knew that he had been arrested as a remnant of the Black Flag.
The encounters in life, in these days, have been chaotic beyond description. You Hongzhuo's thoughts were still a little slow, and he couldn't think of too many things from the current situation. The past and the future seemed a little illusory. On the other side of the prison, there was another person, ragged and covered in blood, who was making groans that made people's teeth ache. You Hongzhuo stared blankly for a long time, and realized that this person might be a member of the Hungry Ghost who had been caught yesterday or some other day, or a remnant of the Black Flag.
He leaned on the ground and thought for a while, but his mind could hardly function normally. After an unknown amount of time, in the dim prison, two jailers came over.
One of them looked at You Hongzhuo outside the prison for a while, confirmed that he was awake, and opened the prison door with his partner.
"Woke up?"
You Hongzhuo nodded slightly.
"When you came in, you really stunk me to death! How is it? Are there any people in your family? Is there anyone who can speak for you... what?" The jailer rubbed his three fingers, signaling, "Do you want to tell the officials mine?"
You Hongzhuo thought for a while: "...Am I not a remnant of the Black Flag... I will be killed in a few days... How can I speak for myself..."
"Good! The official thinks you look cunning, as expected, you are a thorny head! If I don't give you a taste of power, it seems it won't work!"
As the jailer said, he pulled up You Hongzhuo, and dragged him out with his partner. You Hongzhuo's injuries had not healed, and he was beaten all over again this night. When he was thrown back into the room, he fainted...
