please make me king

Chapter 1256 It's Worth It
It is said that Li Shukong proposed to test the firecrackers, but Song Xiance was helpless for a while.

Just at this time, Wukong suddenly took a step forward and said with a smile: "If you talk about firing the bow, my old grandson can't do it."

"However, if Zhaizhu Li is interested, the Sa family might as well play with you."

While smiling, Wukong walked to the campfire, reached out and took out a piece of firewood, then put it on the ground and extinguished the flames, leaving only some red coals on it.

"You." Seeing Wukong revealing his shortcomings, Li Shukong couldn't help being puzzled, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"However, I can't shoot the gun, and you can't hold the target!" Wukong laughed.

"It's getting dark now, and I can't see my fingers. I can hold this firewood, and I ask Li Zhaizhu to shoot the red charcoal. I don't know what to do?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and they were immediately impressed by Wukong's courage.

Holding charcoal in the middle of the night, the archer can only see sparks but no one.If there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that he will die on the spot.

This kind of behavior is generally called "tiger", or "stupid" or "desperado" in later generations, but in the eyes of thieves and bandits in this era, it is the behavior of a first-class hero.

"Okay!" Some people couldn't help cheering, and praised, "What a good man, you are so courageous!"

Seeing that this guy overwhelmed him with momentum, Li Shukong couldn't help feeling embarrassed for a while.

Although he thinks that he hits every shot with the blunderbuss, but people and horses make mistakes, if he makes a mistake and kills him.

At that time, it would be a small matter to apologize to King Shun, but it would be a big matter to be ridiculed by others in the future.

Seeing that Li Shukong hesitated, one person stood up quickly, shook his head and said, "It's not right, it's not right, but this method is not right."

"If my village master hits the shot, there is nothing to be happy about, but if the shot misses, he will bear a lot of responsibilities."

"Your Excellency, sit back and enjoy the success, and my village master can't decide the winner, wouldn't you suffer from left and right, and work for nothing?"

"Which one is it?" Wukong asked disdainfully with a sideways glance when he heard the words.

My grandson is the Monkey King, what kind of cat and dog dare to come forward and grin?
"My next Liu Rang is the second village master of Zhou Hongzhai!" The man was quite annoyed in his heart, but he said proudly on his face.

It turned out that this person was Li Shukong's good friend Liu Rang, who went to Guihua City on Xingye, recruited [-] elite riders, broke through Jingle County, and rescued Li Shukong's people.

Song Xiance was afraid that Wukong would speak rudely again, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say a few polite words.

But Wukong thought to himself: "Although my old grandson is not good at firearms, he can't fall into the title of master. Let's see if I run on him."

Thinking of this, Wukong couldn't help laughing: "Although you are not big or small, there is some truth in what you said."

"It's not as good as this: first, the old grandson will hold the firewood, and Li Zhaizhu will try to shoot; then Li Zhai will preside over the firewood, and my old grandson will try to shoot."

"The one who hits the target wins, and the one who shoots misses loses. If there is a tie, keep shooting until one side misses or the other dares not hold firewood. I wonder what the two agree?"

Nima, Liu Rang, and Li Shukong couldn't help scolding Wukong for being despicable and shameless.

It turned out that Li Shukong was good at bird guns, and he was [-]% sure that he would hit the coals at night, and he would hit the coals without hurting anyone.

However, Wukong doesn't know anything about bird guns. If he is allowed to shoot with guns and Li Shukong is to hold firewood and stand at the target, then life and death will depend on fortune and wealth!
In this way, if it is said that the risk of Wukong holding firewood is only [-]%, then when it is Li Shukong's turn to hold firewood, the risk suddenly increases to [-]%. How can there be any fairness?

Liu Rang couldn't help being furious when he heard the words, and was about to step forward to ridicule him.

Unexpectedly, Li Shukong raised his palm and stopped Liu Rang, but instead he agreed, "Okay, let's just follow what this strong man said."

"The strong man, please step back fifty steps, and let the village master fire the gun first."

It turned out that Li Shukong, as the leader of a village, didn't really care about winning or losing. On the contrary, he had other concerns.

There have been many bandits in Jiaocheng since ancient times, and since he started his army, there are countless people who have turned up and down.

Leaving aside the distant ones, Kelan Gao Jiaji, Jiaocheng Wang Gang, He Caodi, Liu Haoran, Baowuyigan and others are nearby.

As a result, before they had a long time to shine, they were chopped down by officers and soldiers and used as military merits.

The thieves in Jiaoshan were chopped down one after another, and now only he, Ren Liang, Wang Jinying, Guo Yan, Wang Quan, and Ba Shanhu are left.

However, just these few people can't "roll".

In the territory of Jiaoshan, the land is poor and the people are scarce, so they can't support many people, let alone these "thieves" who are out of production.

He can support two thousand horses, which is already the limit of local support.

People like Ren Liang, Wang Jinying, Guo Yan, Wang Quan, and Ba Shanhu are half people and half bandits.

Ren Liang was called the "Gourd King", in fact, because he occupied the "East and West Two Gourds".

Among them, the East Gourd River is dangerous, so Ren Liang set up camps on three cliffs in the middle of the river.

The zucchini river with better conditions is where one of Ren Liang's minions is farming.

They are the people when they are busy, and they are thieves when they are idle. They have their roots here, and they are the most difficult to destroy.

Therefore, in the end, Zhou Hongshan and the three cliffs formed two forces that could not eat the other.

However, compared to Ren Liang who is willing to be a thief for the rest of his life, Li Shukong, who has read a few books, always wants to do something.

Earlier, when the Shaanxi rebels crossed the Yellow River from the east, he once saw some kind of hope.However, I did not expect this hope to be shattered soon.

Today's King Shun, although let him see this hope again.

However, he never wanted to let himself down again, so he deliberately made things difficult.

It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, as long as he can prove that this guy is a hero, he will lose his own family and life, and this life is worth it.

Thinking of this, Li Shukong chose a long bird gun, and skillfully poured gunpowder into the barrel.

Then, he tore a piece of cloth from his body to wrap the lead bullet, and sent it down with a cleaning rod.

Slowly pour in some priming medicine, took the already lit matchlock in Liu Rang's hand, and carefully clamped it on the faucet.

When Li Shukong completed these movements slowly, it seemed as long as a century.

Only then did Li Shukong pick up the gun, closed one eye, and aimed at Mars in the darkness.

"Monk, I'm about to fire the gun, are you ready?" Li Shukong asked suddenly.

"Only fire guns, no need to fart!" Wukong's impatient voice came from afar.

"Bang!" As soon as Wukong finished speaking, Li Shukong decisively fired a gun.

"Oh, you don't talk about martial arts!" Song Xiance couldn't help but feel tense when he heard the sound of the gun, but before he could greet him, he heard Wukong yelling.

Not long after, I saw this guy running over, handed the firewood in his hand to Li Shukong, and said with a smile: "This time you counted, but now it's my grandson's turn!"

Song Xiance stepped forward to take a closer look, only to see that there was a piece missing where the firewood was burning red, and he thought it must be Li Shukong's handwriting.

He couldn't help admiring: "Master Li is good at gunskills!"

"It's not as courageous as the Monkey King!" Li Shukong, who never thought about it, shook his head and laughed.

"Now I am convinced, and I am willing to follow..."

"Villager!" Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Shukong opened his mouth, Liu Rang couldn't help becoming anxious.

"Listen to me!" Li Shukong stopped Liu Rang's doubts, and continued to turn his head to Song Xiance.

"It's easy to convince me, Li Shukong, but it's hard to convince two thousand brothers under my command."

"Although there are few troops under Li's command, if King Shun cannot win the hearts of the soldiers, no one will be able to fight to the death for him. Please let the national teacher tell His Highness!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" "Great Master" Song Xiance laughed when he heard the words, then took out two documents from his pocket, took out one of them and handed it to Li Shukongdao.

"Before the old Taoist came to Jiaoshan, he asked King Shun for two blank confessions."

"One is for the post of chief soldier, and one is for the post of deputy chief soldier."

"Since Zhaizhu Li is the first to be the Zhaizhu, he naturally deserves to be sued by the chief soldier."

"As for King Shun, Village Master Li... No, he should be called Zongbing Li now. You can tell when you see him."

"There are so many heroes in the world, but King Shun is the only one who is happy to serve the dead."

"There are rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for demerit, and Yun Jue sticks to the middle, never favoritism, this is the ear of a born emperor!"
