Chapter 17 Quick Project (VII)
There were five groups of people in front of Huo Chong, Uncle Zhu, the landlord Sanwagang, Liu Laowu who asked for money in advance, Liu Wenyuan, and an old man named Li.
Seeing Huo Chong's third apprentice brother Li Tieniu and others rushing over, several people around Liu Laowu immediately went over to stop them. Huo Chong rushed forward with a stick to greet his apprentice brother. I don't know if those people had heard about Huo Chong's powerful beatings in the past few days, but they just yelled a few times and didn't dare to fight with Huo Chong.
Four people came over, the third apprentice brother Li Tieniu, the fourth apprentice brother Xiushan, and two injured people from the Cao Gang. After the suppuration of their wounds was resolved, the fever had subsided, and at least they were able to walk with the help of Tieniu and Xiushan. However, after running so long, they were all exhausted and their faces turned pale.
After leading the four people to their side at the door, Huo Chong asked, "Tie Niu, what's going on?"
"Big Brother, the guy named Xu came back yesterday and said you were not coming back, and asked us to keep the door closed. Don't open the door even at dawn. Unless you come back."
Tie Niu was always so talkative sometimes, and Huo Chong didn't want to nitpick. He just didn't expect Xu Youlin to do this... Maybe he saw something and was worried that his people would be implicated.
"We closed the door. Unexpectedly, Second Brother brought some people in early in the morning and asked us to follow him to deal with you. We didn't want to, so Second Brother beat us." Li Tieniu said this with an angry face.
Huo Chong looked at these four people. Needless to say, they were the ones who were unwilling to follow his second senior brother in the counterattack and were driven out of the house by his second senior brother Zhu Youquan and his men.
Before tricking Huo Chong into taking the blame, Master Liu Shu had accepted six disciples in total. The eldest disciple, Li Xiunian, had already died. Liu Shu felt sorry for the second disciple, Zhu Youquan, and kicked him out of the sect. Three of the remaining four disciples had already arrived, and Huo Chong asked, "Where is the fifth disciple?"
Li Tieniu was even more angry, "Big Brother, it was Old Five who opened the door."
"Oh." Huo Chong did not find it strange. The fifth apprentice brother Zhu Youcai, just by hearing the name, can be connected with the second apprentice brother Zhu Youquan. Family members support family members , and Zhu Youcai's surrender to Huo Chong is a betrayal.
After confirming the different choices of his fellow apprentices, Huo Chong was a little confused as to why his master, Uncle Liu, the old fox, would accept the second apprentice brother, who was so silly, and still felt so sorry for him. The most ironic thing was that in the eyes of the second apprentice brother, Uncle Liu must be biased, favoring Huo Chong, the newcomer.
Knowing that Huo Chong was not in the house, Zhu Youquan took the opportunity to seize the house. He probably felt that he had seized the legacy of his beloved master, Uncle Liu. This move was not a problem. If Huo Chong really didn't want to die in an unknown corner after wandering around the world, it would be nice to watch this drama.
Given Xu Youlin's intelligence and power, I wonder if he would braise or steam Zhu Youquan, or use a simpler and more brutal method of hanging him up to air dry?
Could it be that after so many things happened, Zhu Youquan didn't realize that what Uncle Liu left behind was not a big piece of fat meat, but a huge sinkhole? Huo Chong couldn't figure it out.
Before Huo Chong had a chance to think more, Uncle Zhu on the opposite side shouted, "Huo Chong, aren't you going to bring out the wine? Hurry up and bring it out!"
Huo Chong asked his junior fellow apprentice and the Cao Gang members to stand back, and he took a few steps forward and shouted to the leading figures on the opposite side, "You were the ones who asked Zhu Youquan to go to the house, weren't you?"
None of them said anything, with more or less smug expressions on their faces. Huo Chong felt that he had determined the purpose of this group of people. The four people other than Uncle Zhu probably had no interest in Zhu Erniu's workshop. They were concerned about the position left by Uncle Liu.
Uncle Zhu cares about Zhu Erniu's new workshop and wants his cousin Zhu Youquan to get the position left by Uncle Liu. The five people are in collusion and connected based on their common interests.
Now everyone has come to the point of revealing their true colors. No matter what Zhu Erniu, the idiot, brings out, these people will say that the two wines taste the same and Zhu Erniu is just stealing the original.
With such a reason, these five gangs brought dozens of people, and Zhu Erniu's workshop was bound to be smashed. In the eyes of these people, Huo Chong was alone and they would definitely be able to deal with Huo Chong. After that, Zhu Youquan would naturally take over Huo Chong's position.
Just as I was sorting things out, I heard someone from Uncle Zhu's side shouting, "Mr. Huo, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring the wine."
Huo Chong raised his hand and hooked his finger at this guy, "You, come over and help serve the wine."
Such a contemptuous action immediately angered this guy. He rushed out of the crowd and pointed at Huo Chong and cursed: "Who the hell are you? How dare you do this to me?"
Huo Chong didn't waste any words and strode forward. He had finally come to this point, and the big hole that Uncle Liu had dug was about to be filled. He also made friends with Xu Youlin, a partner of the Cao Gang. Although there are always risks in doing business, Huo Chong has reduced the risks to a level that he can fully bear.
If Huo Chong had been tricked by Uncle Liu and had so many people come to force him the next day, Huo Chong would have simply quit and left. But if they want to force Huo Chong to leave again today, these people have to prove to Huo Chong how powerful they are.
Seeing Huo Chong approaching, the guy on the opposite side retreated. A man walked out from Liu Laowu's group, and Huo Chong stopped unconsciously. Just looking at the guy's steps, he has practiced. The so-called practice means starting from the basics. Shandong has always been a place where martial arts flourished. If you have connections or are willing to spend money, you can find such a person.
The man walked towards Huo Chong slowly, followed by two others. He looked like he was not a good person. Huo Chong felt that he was too close to the enemy camp, so he took a few steps back. The useless people on the opposite side immediately started to make noises, "Why are you running? Come on!"
"You're just arrogant, and now you're still arrogant!"
Huo Chong focused all his attention on these people. As long as he dealt with these three, the other trash in front of him would still be trash. There was plenty of time to let them know how powerful he was.
Huo Chong retreated to a position where he would not be surrounded immediately, and stopped to block the people behind him. The three people on the opposite side also stood in a safe position. The leader asked: "Brothers on the opposite side, we are from Baji Sect, where is your master from?"
Huo Chong answered loudly: "My master is Liu Feng, the leader of the Kan Gua sect of the Tianli Sect."
Uncle Liu's name was Liu Feng, and Huo Chong directly revealed his master's sect. When the people from the Baji Sect heard this, their faces became even more unhappy. Everyone knew everything about Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu might know martial arts, but his skills were not enough to get him out in the martial arts world.
But at this time, Huo Chong was absolutely right to say so, and the guys from the Baji Sect on the opposite side had no way to refute it, because Huo Chong was the real disciple of Liu Feng.
The Bajimen guys started to take off their coats, revealing their well-built muscles. Since they couldn't talk it out, they had no choice but to fight. Huo Chong also prepared to fight.
Then I heard the sound of a gong in the distance, as if it was sounding the starting signal for this fatal battle.
