The sound of footsteps echoed in the hall, making Zheng Xiao's wariness suddenly rise.
His expression changed slightly. Zheng Xiao put one hand on the table and leaned towards the chopstick cage on the side without leaving a trace. The other hand quietly slipped down and touched the saber hidden in his waist. He could pull it out at any time.
From these two people, he sensed a faint danger, that kind of deep-hidden bloody aura that only a person with a naturally keen sense like him could detect.
These people are definitely murderers who lick blood from their swords. This is what Zheng Xiao instantly thought in his mind.
Although he knew that these people might not dare to do anything in public, Zheng Xiao was still ready to fight at any time just in case.
The footsteps were very heavy, and the two people were not walking fast, but it seemed like two mountains pressing on Zheng Xiao's heart, doubling his pressure. However, there was nothing abnormal on his surface, and he still lowered his head and blew the newly served rice.
A bowl of egg soup, seems to want it to cool down as soon as possible.
Finally, two people stopped next to him, and then a hoarse voice rang out, "Brother, can we sit here with you?"
Zheng Xiao suddenly looked up and found that it was the middle-aged man with the scar on his face. The other guy with the deer-headed rat eyes had been silent from the beginning, but his eyes were staring at him closely, and his sharp eyes seemed to want to
See him thoroughly from the inside out.
"This guy with a wretched appearance is more dangerous than that guy." Zheng Xiao made eye contact with him and immediately defined him.
Without making a sound, Zheng Xiao just looked up at them, then Jiji lowered his head and ate his food.
The scar-faced man didn't think he was a stranger, so he stretched out his hand to pull a stool and sat down. Then the thin man sat next to him silently, making no sound at all, as if he was a ghost.
""Your Excellency is the famous Yi Jian Mei in Guandong Mountain." Scarface spoke in a faint voice, and Zheng Xiao was surprised by one sentence, "The famous leader of the Twelve Golden Hairpin Corps."
During the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, in the Guandong Mountain area, there were numerous bandits, thieves, and robbers, and the situation was extremely complicated.
The Twelve Golden Hairpins of the Guandong Mountains are a group of snitches that have recently emerged in the eastern part of the Guandong Mountains. Their leader is a man nicknamed "Yijianmei", who has extraordinary skills, and the Twelve Golden Hairpins have always come and gone without a trace.
, committed many crimes, but the government could do nothing about them.
Even among the various forces in Guandong Mountain, not many people have actually seen the true face of the Twelve Golden Hairpins. Scarface and Slim Man have only heard about them and have never seen them.
In order to make their roles as bandits more realistic, Zheng Xiao and Yue Xiazi put a lot of effort into understanding the various forces in the Guandong Mountains. Among the forces they learned about was the Twelve Golden Hairpins.
After hearing what these two people said, Zheng Xiao immediately understood. The other party saw that he had appeared with Zhuge Yaomei and Bai Ling, and those two people looked full of kung fu, so they aroused the other party's imagination and mistakenly thought that he was that person.
What a plum.
However, Zheng Xiao was not in a hurry to deny it, because he felt that since the other party took the initiative to talk to him, it meant that they had something to do, so it was better to listen to what they had to say.
Zheng Xiao smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying, but asked, "Who are you two, and what business do you have with Yi Jian Mei?"
After hearing what he said, the two looked at each other, and then Scarface spoke again, "Brother, to be honest, I am Scarlang, and this is our boss, Blood Fox." As he spoke, he pointed.
The thin man beside him said nothing.
Scar Wolf? Blood Fox? Zheng Xiao was shocked again this time.
There is a long-established band of horse thieves in the Guandong Mountains. They come and go like the wind, kill people with ease, and are cruel and ruthless, making the government and villagers famous and fearful. They are the notorious Forty Thieves.
The scarred wolf, the cunning rabbit, the wild bear, the earth leopard, the fierce tiger, the flying monkey... behind those names are all sprinkled with blood and human lives, and they are all well-known characters.
Especially the boss of the Forty Thieves, Blood Fox, was an even more ruthless character. Back then, he fought a fierce battle with an entire patrol battalion for a day and a night. The patrol battalion suffered 41 casualties and he was also seriously injured, but he finally managed to break through.
go.
It was after that battle that the name of the Blood Fox rose up in the Guandong Mountains. Almost no one knew about it, and the officers and soldiers were even more afraid of him like snakes and scorpions, unable to avoid him.
How could Zheng Xiao not know about such a famous person, so he was a little surprised.
However, Zheng Xiao's surprise was short-lived and disappeared in an instant, replaced by an extremely calm expression. This made the blood fox who had been observing him secretly nodded in approval, "Well, this plum blossom is worthy of being twelve."
The leader of Jin Chai is indeed a talent."
What happened this time has been known to many forces. In addition to their forty bandits, the ten bandit forces in Guandong Mountain have all sent people. Even the famous "King of Heaven" Du Xing has sent his capable generals.
, you can foresee how fierce the competition will be.
Although the Forty Thieves are all fierce people, after all, they are small in number and cannot compete with those big forces. However, they are not willing to give up. They did not expect to encounter the legendary Twelve Golden Hairpins here, so the Blood Fox
I just want to join forces with them, so maybe I can still have the strength to fight.
Seeing Scar Wolf and Xue Hu announcing themselves, Zheng Xiao stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said, "It turns out they are the first and second boss of the Forty Thieves. It's a pleasure to meet them."
"Brother, you're welcome!"
The scar-faced man Scar Lang laughed loudly and returned the gift. Seeing Zheng Xiao looking at the silent Xue Hu on the side, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and hurriedly explained, "As the master of Yi Jian Mei, our boss is born unable to speak.
So I can’t say hello to you, so I will do it for you.”
Zheng Xiao suddenly realized that Xue Hu was actually mute. No wonder he didn't say a word from the beginning.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We are all children of the world, so we don't have to worry about it so much." Zheng Xiao waved his hand boldly, and then said, "You two heads, please take a seat."
The three of them sat down around the table. Scar Wolf raised his finger and pointed at the braised noodles on the table, and exclaimed, "Yijian Mei is the master of the house. It's indeed as rumored."
Only then did Zheng Xiao wake up. According to the information he collected, Yi Jian Mei's favorite food was braised noodles, which had become one of his signatures. He couldn't help but laugh, "This is really a mistake."
Of course, he would not say these inner thoughts to Xue Hu and the others, he would just think about them in his heart.
Since the forty thieves have arrived in the ancient city of Liaoyang, it means that they must have something important to do. Why don't you find out what they say, it might be of some help to you.
