In Liantai Town, twenty miles away from Lei Xing Mountain, Lai Lu returned to the town inn smelling of alcohol and flushed. Because he was an honored guest who had booked a room in advance, the innkeeper came up to him and asked if he wanted to cook something to sober up.

When the tea was brought, Lai Lu waved his hand and said no. When the shopkeeper wanted to say something else, Lai Lu had already stepped upstairs.

The moment Lailu opened the door, his eyes changed. They were not as drunk and distracted as before, but alert and cold. Because he found that there was a person sitting in his room across the curtain, and he closed the door with his hands behind his back.

, the sword in his right sleeve is ready.

The man sat upright in front of the table, took a sip from a tea cup in his hand, then spat it out and cursed: "How can anyone in this world like to drink such a thing as tea?"

Hearing the sound, Lailu sobered up completely. He clasped his fists and bowed, "I didn't know that Lord Tie Tu was coming to visit, but Lailu didn't expect to be welcomed from afar."

Lord Tie Tu threw the tea cup aside and said calmly: "You have murderous intent, Lai Lu."

Lailu explained: "My master taught the little one to be more careful when going out, saying that this is not a bad thing."

When City Master Tie Tu saw Lai Lu moving City Master Qi Fang out, he snorted coldly and said: "Old Qi's teachings are full of principles. But it seems that you didn't do everything he asked you to do this time."

When Lailu heard the word "do it all", his heart trembled.

City Lord Tie Tu continued: "Lailu, you and that dog are really good brothers. You didn't even give him the file about the driver that Lao Qi asked you to give him. Are you afraid that the top-ranking master of the inner family will do it?

In anger, I went up the mountain and killed him."

When Lailu heard this, he went straight to the point: "Since Lord Tietu has already deployed people on the mountain, why not find an opportunity to kill him."

City Lord Tie Tu smiled and said: "Do you think it's so easy? He has already killed four of the six informants I arranged, and now the remaining two are not suspected because they have gone through life and death with him. That dog is too cautious.

Yes, it would be difficult to kill him directly."

Lai Lu said: "Then what does Lord Tie Tu mean by coming here?"

City Lord Tie Tu said directly: "I don't mean much, I just came to threaten you and talk about the terms. After all, Lao Qi was bitten by that dog. He no longer trusts dogs. I just don't know that you and that dog are still brothers."

, what would Lao Qi think?"

Lailu stared at Lord Tietu coldly and said, "What do you want?"

City Lord Tietu comforted him: "Don't worry, I can help you with everything you haven't done, and I'll make sure Lao Qi doesn't see any flaws. As for what I want? I naturally want Lao Qi to lead the men and horses to attack Lei Xingshan."

"

Lai Lu said: "Is it that simple?"

Lord Tie Tu said: "It's really that simple, but Lao Qi thinks too much. I just want you to remind him not to come when he hesitates."

Lai Lu said coldly: "It's a good idea for City Master Tie Slaughter. I wonder whether the last thing you want to swallow is Lei Xingshan or Qifang City. Oh, by the way, I heard that City Master Qufeng wasted his wealth at the dinner last night.

My master will not swallow this tone easily. Qifang City and Qufeng City are far apart, but if we join forces with Lord Tie Tu in the middle, it won’t be difficult to destroy them quickly."

City Lord Tietu looked at Lailu with admiration and sighed that it would be great if he was the steward of his own city Lord's mansion.

City Lord Tie Tu smiled and said: "Why are you looking more and more like Lao Qi, but don't worry, no matter how courageous I am, I don't dare to touch Lao Qi. It's not like I don't know who is standing behind him. The most I can do is borrow

Lei Xingshan asked Lao Qi to reduce his troops. After all, my Iron Slaughter Guard is only half of his Qi Fang Guard, and I feel uncomfortable being suppressed for so long. Besides, that bitch Qu Feng is used to being arrogant, so she should be beaten."

Lai Lu would only believe 30% of what City Master Tie Tu said, but he was also convinced that City Master Tie Tu would not dare to touch City Master Qi Fang. After all, his master had that figure behind him.

Lai Lu tentatively asked: "Then do I want to congratulate City Lord Tie Tu in advance for holding two cities?"

City Lord Tie Tu smiled and said: "Knocking does not mean swallowing. But the situation will depend on how much trouble the old man can make Lei Xingshan. When I think of the wealth accumulated on Lei Xingshan for so many years, I feel that my

It’s time for Iron Slaughter City to expand. Hahaha..."

Lai Lu reminded: "For a driver, he may not take action."

City Lord Tie Tu stood up, patted Lai Lu on the shoulder and said: "You don't understand this. The more you don't want to hurt others, but others die because of him, this kind of thing is the most irritating. Of course, the scene

It has to be more brutal."

Lai Lu said: "My master just persuaded Quan Laifu to catch the driver as a threat."

The Lord of Tie Tu City sneered and said: "How could this be Lao Qi's style? I'm here to help him and Quan Laifu add fuel to the fire to ensure that they are both satisfied!"

When Lailu wanted to say more, City Master Tie Tu tightened his grip and pushed him down directly on the stool and said, "If you drink too much, take a good rest. I have prepared the carriage and horses for you. You will go back to Qifang City in the afternoon.

I will help you finish the next play. But you must also remember that if you accept my love, you must do what you should do. Otherwise, it will not be as simple as death. I suddenly like Lao Qi.

He’s good at calculations, which is quite interesting.”

Cold sweat broke out frequently on Lailu's forehead, and he suddenly realized that the City Lord Tie Tu was more like a hunter than the City Lord Qi Fang, but the difference was that he not only hunted prey, but also pointed his sharp arrows at other hunters.

Since Da Zhuang drove away in the early morning of that day, he didn't take much rest along the way. He arrived at Liantai Town this morning. As usual, he went to A Hua's house first. When A Hua saw Da Zhuang coming, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

Although Daqian felt uncomfortable in his heart, he put aside all his worries as soon as he saw Ah Hua.

A-hua is actually not beautiful. She has a decent appearance, a little thin figure, and her clothes are washed white and old. But in Da Zhuang's eyes, A-hua is the most beautiful girl in the world.

Ahua felt embarrassed by him and spat: "Don't look at her like that."

Da Zhuang smiled sillyly and said, "You look good."

Ahua's face turned redder when she praised her.

Just as the two of them were chatting with each other, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walked out of the house. He was leaning on a cane in his right hand. He limped forward and pulled Ahua to his side, and then said with a look on his face

He looked at Da Zhuang with disdain.

"Uncle Chen, this is the red date cake I brought for you and Ahua." Da Zhuang respectfully handed over the red date cake wrapped in dried lotus leaves from the car.

The middle-aged man who was called Uncle Chen did not pick up the red date cake, but said to Da Zhuang: "Dazhuang, it's not Uncle Chen who is urging you, but A Hua has reached the age of getting married. How much have you saved as a bride price?"

?”

Da Zhuang said hurriedly: "Uncle Chen, it's almost time. I'll take this car of Angelica dahurica to Baiyao Hall in a moment. I should be able to earn four or five taels of silver. Combined with the previous nine taels of silver, it's almost time." Da Zhuang

When he mentioned four or five taels of silver, he felt a little guilty. In fact, this cart of Angelica dahurica could earn at most two or three taels of silver. Now for A-hua, he could only go further.

The middle-aged man who was called Uncle Chen heard that he had thirteen or four taels of silver. His expression immediately changed. He took the red date cake and greeted Da Zhuang with a smile. "Da Zhuang, you must be tired from driving, go inside and have a drink of water."

"Dad!" Ahua looked at her father complainingly.

The middle-aged man said: "This is my future son-in-law, Chen Youfa. What's wrong with inviting him into the house for a drink of water? Really, you girl, go and steam the cake and eat it." After that, Chen Youfa put the red date cake on the table.

Ahua held it in her hands and asked her to heat the cake on the stove.

Da Zhuang felt relieved when he saw Chen Youfa's change of attitude. Then he was pulled into the room by Chen Youfa. Ahua winked at Da Zhuang and signaled him not to listen to her father.

When he arrived at the house, Da Zhuang saw that all the large furniture in the house when he came last time was gone. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Uncle Chen, has your home been robbed?"

Hearing this, Chen Youfa sighed heavily and burst into tears and said: "It's all my damn brother's fault. He told me to do business together, but who knew that I sold the furniture and raised the money for him, but he turned around and ran away with the money.

I have pity on my poor daughter, she has never had a good life since her mother died, and she has to work as a prostitute every day to support the family."

Da Zhuang couldn't bear to look at it and said: "Uncle Chen, your family is very tight on money. Do you want me to lend you some first?"

Chen Youfa rolled his eyes and hurriedly declined: "No, no, it's okay for us to drink some porridge every day. It's just hard for Ahua. She has to work hard at night, and her eyes are a little blurry to see."

When Da Zhuang heard this, he felt sad. He immediately took out the five taels of silver from his wife's book, handed it to Chen Youfa and said, "Uncle Chen, you can use this money first. Don't make yourself and Ahua suffer."

Chen Youfa's eyes lit up when he saw it. Just when he was about to refuse again, Ahua came in with red date cake. She glared at Chen Youfa and said, "Dad, why did you defraud Brother Da Zhuang of his money again!"

Chen Youfa said without blushing, "My future son-in-law will be filial and respectful to his father-in-law. How can I call him a liar?"

Ahua hurriedly asked Da Zhuang to collect the money and said: "Dad, you have always blamed Brother Da Zhuang for not saving enough money for the betrothal gift, but other people's betrothal gifts cost ten taels of silver, but you have to ask for twenty taels! You still do it from time to time

You are going to defraud Brother Da Zhuang of his money, how can he save enough if you do this!"

As they talked, Ahua started to cry in aggrievedness. When Da Zhuang saw it, he comforted her with heartache: "If you save it, it will be full! Ahua, don't cry, don't cry."

Chen You found that Da Zhuang was busy comforting A Hua. He snatched the silver from Da Zhuang's hand with his eyes shining, and then rushed out the door with a cane in his right hand. A Hua was so angry that he chased behind him and kept yelling and cursing.

, the more he cursed, the more tears he shed.

Da Zhuang couldn't bear to say: "Forget it, we will all be a family from now on."

"Hurry up and chase him! He knows how to gamble. He must have robbed your money and gambled again!" Ahua cried and beat Da Zhuangdao with her hands, "Why are you so stupid!"

Da Zhuang kept nodding his head and listened to whatever A-Hua said. After a while, he saw that A-Hua was tired of crying, so he whispered: "A-Hua, the red date cake needs to be cooled. That was specially made by one of my uncles."

You bought it for me, let's go and eat it quickly. After eating, we'll take this cart of Angelica dahurica to Baiyao Hall, and then buy you two new clothes in town."

Ahua wiped her tears, leaned into Da Zhuang's arms and sobbed: "Brother Da Zhuang..."

Let's talk about Chen Youfa. After grabbing the money, he rushed straight to the town's gambling house impatiently. When the waiter saw that it was "Chen Laizi" who came to the door, he joked: "Hey, what kind of wind is blowing today?

Mr. Chen blew me here."

Chen Youfa shook the five taels of silver in his hand and said, "Of course it's the style of getting rich."

When the boy saw that "Cripple Chen" had actually brought so much money, he immediately bowed to greet him and said, "Master Chen, please come in quickly."

Chen Youfa was used to seeing people who flatter you when they have money but don't bother to look at you when they have no money. He casually took out a copper plate from his pocket and threw it to the boy.

Although the boy said "Thank you, Mr. Chen", in his heart he cursed lame Chen for not only being lame, but also stinging!
