Lord of Puro

Chapter 581 Are you selling yourself out again?

Huangtu Bridge South Bridge, Cement Coal Yard.

When Huangtu Bridge was still an official land, Cement Terrace was a large coal yard that supported dozens of coal merchants and tens of thousands of workers.

Later, when the unlucky star took over Huangtu Bridge, dozens of accidents occurred at the Yanghuitai coal yard. Several mines collapsed and many workers were killed or injured. Coal merchants dared not do business here, and the coal yard gradually became deserted.

Ma Wu was somewhat superstitious. After taking over Huangtu Bridge, he never managed the Cement Terrace Coal Yard. Now, the coal yard was occupied by this group of drivers.

The driver stopped the car next to the coal yard, picked up some coal and threw it into the shed.

These coals have been here for many years and have long been weathered. Although they are difficult to burn, he is really not picky about them in his carport.

In fact, these weathered coals are good things for these rickshaws. When there is no coal, they can burn firewood. If there is no firewood, they can pick up some scraps of cloth, waste paper, and leaves to burn.

The two drivers counted the number of people, and there were eighty-five of them in total. Eighteen of them were killed when they fought with Li Banfeng, and there were more than sixty left.

It doesn’t matter if we lose manpower, we can still make up for it. The key is to get all the cars back.

The boss of the rickshaw drivers smiled, and the rickshaw drivers under him also smiled.

After laughing, the men each put coal into the car and took turns to add water to the well. After burning for more than an hour, the steam pressure in the car was reached.

The drivers all raised their heads, their faces toward the sky, opened their mouths wide, and let out a long whistle-like sound, spewing out white mist.

Tang Shijiang was very familiar with steam engines. He knew that this was to release excess steam and keep the steam pressure stable.

But this process is difficult to understand. When burning coal in a rickshaw, why does the driver exhale steam to release pressure?
After the steam pressure was released, the rickshaw driver got into his rickshaw and fell asleep.

The other drivers also got into their rickshaws and fell asleep. The coal yard was completely silent. Only a few drivers were left, patrolling the area with their rickshaws.

Although there are not many people, their patrolling method is very meticulous. The first level of guards patrols around the coal yard, the second level of guards patrols between the houses around the coal yard, and the third level of guards patrols on the main street leading to the coal yard. With three levels of sentry patrols, the defense is very strict and there are almost no loopholes.

After resting for a while, the rickshaw boss suddenly woke up. He saw a rickshaw driver coming to the coal yard and stopping in front of him.

The driver pointed to the distance, as if he was sending a message to the boss of the drivers.

The boss of the rickshaw drivers said nothing.

The driver waited for a moment and then spoke: "Just now a gangster came and robbed a brother's car. I guess he was sent by Beiqiao."

"Bad guys? Brother?" The boss of the coachmen laughed.

Laughter could be heard from all the rickshaws around.

The driver who came to report the news lowered his voice and said, "It doesn't seem to work."

It really didn't work. These drivers had a special way of communicating, not using gestures or words. His actions just now were obviously flawed.

"If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. We've come this far anyway!" As soon as he finished speaking, Li Banfeng jumped out of the carport.

This car was stolen by Li Banfeng.

The person pulling the cart is Tang Shijiang, who has changed his appearance through the use of craftsmanship.

The person sitting in the car was Li Banfeng. Now that he had reached this point, it was indeed time for him to take action. At this distance, he could directly use his skills to hit the driver boss.

But the driver's drivers around also woke up. Without their boss's call, they got out of their carts at the same time, pushed the carts, formed a circle, and quickly surrounded Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng was fighting with a group of rickshaw drivers, and Tang Shijiang approached the leader of the rickshaw drivers.

The driver stared at Tang Shijiang for a moment and saw through his disguise: "Brother, I went to Heishipo to discuss the matter of the Loess Bridge with you before, asking you to help me. At that time, I saw that you were in a difficult situation, so I didn't say much.
I know you have a relationship with Li Qi, so it doesn't matter whether you help me or not. I won't force you, but you came to trouble me today, which is wrong. Let's go to our master and have a good talk. "

Tang Shijiang stretched his muscles and slowly stretched out his tall body, which had been curled up. "I didn't quite understand what you said just now. I do have a junior brother who pulls a cart in Yaowanggou. I really look down on him, but we are from the same school, so I can't just ignore this friendship.
But I can't tell which master you came from. If your master wants to argue with me, please ask him to come to Black Rock Slope. I really want to meet him and ask him to collect your body."

The driver's eyes trembled: "Now that it has come to this, we are done with each other!"

Tang Shijiang said impatiently: "Why are you so shameless? I have no ties of gratitude to you in the first place!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rickshaw boss rushed forward with his rickshaw and kicked Tang Shijiang with one foot.

An iron shield appeared in front of Tang Shijiang, easily blocking the attack: "You know what, this level of ability is almost the same as my junior brother."

The boss of the coachmen was a little surprised. He couldn't tell where Tang Shijiang took out the iron shield from. It was really rare for a worker to move so quickly.

The coachman used his skill of riding the wind and clouds to pull the carriage into the air, and a group of darts fell from the carriage and flew towards Tang Shijiang's head.

A pocket appeared on Tang Shijiang's head, and all the javelins were put into it. A long spear came out of the pocket and stabbed at the rickshaw of the rickshaw boss.

The rickshaw boss turned the handlebars to avoid the spear, and the axle spewed fire to burn Tang Shijiang.

A section of water pipe extended from the back collar of Tang Shijiang's shirt, spraying out a stream of water to block the flames. The water column sprayed on the car body, creating layers of white mist.

The coachman pulled the cart desperately to dodge, and the water poured on the cart, which was equivalent to cooling it down, which was extremely bad for the steam engine.

But it was hard to avoid this water column. It was as if it had eyes and kept spraying at the rickshaws. The rickshaw driver boss could not avoid it. He walked around behind Tang Shijiang under the water column, stretched out his right foot, and tried to use the "Treading Through Wanchuan" technique again.

boom!
As soon as his feet touched the ground, a row of nails grew out of the ground and pierced the driver's right foot.

The driver felt a sharp pain and was unable to perform his skills.

When was this mechanism set up?
How could the engineering skills be used so covertly?

The driver was stunned for a moment, and the nail in his foot quickly became a knot, entangling his right foot to the ground.

A big knife came down from above the driver's head. The driver didn't know where the knife came from and could only use the free and easy skill to dodge it.

After dodging the big knife, Tang Shijiang grew an axe on his back and swept it towards the waist of the coachman boss.

The coachman boss had no way to avoid it and was hit by the huge axe, which cut a hole in his stomach.

Seeing the knife and axe coming again, the driver used the skill of Xiaoyaozizai to adjust the position of his right foot, forcibly broke free from the iron nails on the ground, and quickly distanced himself from Tang Shijiang.

He locked his eyes on Tang Shijiang, ready to use a quick inspection.

There were more than a dozen mirrors of various sizes around Tang Shijiang, reflecting hundreds of figures. The driver looked through the gaps in the mirrors and felt dazzled. He couldn't tell which figure was real, so his cursory look was ineffective.

The rickshaw boss swung his rickshaw and smashed a mirror.

The fragments of the mirror turned into a silver dragon, following the driver and chasing him hard, piercing him without missing a single one.

During the fight so far, as long as Tang Shijiang dodges a step, the driver can use the advantage of his training to crush the opponent in one breath.

But Tang Shijiang didn't move a step. He just stood there, countering the driver's moves and fighting head-on with the driver's boss.

This is the disciple of Master Train, he is tough and has tough means.

The driver turned the handle and pushed the cart, rushing towards Tang Shijiang again. He extended a reamer from the cart shed, waiting to see how Tang Shijiang would resist.

Tang Shijiang put on a pair of iron gloves, grasped the reamer in his right hand, unscrewed it from the carport, and used his left hand to tear open the carport directly, breaking a pipe in the middle of the carport.

scoff!

The rickshaw made a loud noise and began to shake uncontrollably.

This is the experience of top-level maintenance workers. Tang Shijiang just sprayed water on the carport and saw fog rising on it. From the thickness of the fog, he judged the temperature of various parts of the carport.

Through temperature changes, Tang Shijiang found the location of the steam pipe. Wearing iron gloves, he tore the steam pipe apart.

The steam pipe broke, the steam pressure dropped sharply, and the driver's speed decreased accordingly.

In this situation, if the driver boss continued to fight with Tang Shijiang, he would be committing suicide.

The boss of the rickshaws tried to escape with the rickshaw, but Tang Shijiang grabbed the shed and chased after him.

If the driver had just driven slower, Tang Shijiang would have been able to dismantle the carriage, but the steam pipe was leaking, so the driver couldn't go faster.

At the critical moment of life and death, the driver blew the whistle and called his men to come to help.

There was no need to deploy tactics or give orders. Just a whistle and the drivers who were still fighting with Li Banfeng immediately changed their formation and rushed forward to surround Tang Shijiang.

Their awareness of changing tactics remained unified. Everyone had only one thought at the moment, which was to do their best to hold back Tang Shijiang and rescue the driver boss.

But although the mind was in order, there was a problem in the actions.

Tang Shijiang scattered twenty screws on the ground.

The screws ran all over the ground and ran towards the wheels of the rickshaw.

A screw caught a wheel, passed through the spokes, penetrated the shed, and locked the wheel.

Among the more than sixty drivers, more than forty quickly changed their formation, while the remaining twenty could not keep up with the pace because they could not push the carts and moved slowly.

The most feared thing about a train formation is lack of unified actions.

If these twenty people are slow, they will be left alone in the formation.

The drivers took out tools from the shed and tried to remove the screws that locked the wheels, but Li Banfeng would not give them a chance. Taking advantage of their chaotic positions, he flashed and killed all twenty drivers.

With the loss of so many men at once, the fighting power of the chariot driver formation was greatly reduced.

But the boss of the coachmen had no other choice. Tang Shijiang was still holding on to the carriage shed from behind, so he could only order the coachmen to fight Tang Shijiang to the death.

Tang Shijiang had plenty of screws, but he didn't use many, so he just scattered twenty of them.

This is the formation of the train master. Tang Shijiang knows it inside out. He has only one goal, to make some of the cars move and some of them unable to move. He uses his own means to force the formation to expose its flaws.

This was a tactic the two had discussed. As long as the formation revealed a flaw, Li Banfeng would take action immediately. He leaped in the formation for a while and killed another twenty drivers.

There are more than twenty rickshaw drivers left. To form a formation, there must be at least twenty people. If Li Banfeng continues to kill, the rickshaw driver formation will be gone.

The leader of the drivers whistled again, but this time he did not ask the drivers to change their formation.

He asked the drivers to stand still and not move, and everyone worked together to use the technique of cutting off the path to clear the way.

This is the last resort, and there is no other solution.

Tang Shijiang, who was chasing after the car, suddenly saw a dirt wall appear in front of him, blocking his way.

If you can cut off a path and open a road, you can also cut off a path.

A dirt wall was nothing to Tang Shijiang. He simply crashed through it and continued chasing.

But with the combined efforts of more than 20 drivers, more than 20 earth walls appeared before their eyes. Tang Shijiang crashed through the tenth earth wall and his speed slowed down.

The boss of the rickshaws rushed out unhindered, leaving Tang Shijiang behind him.

He fought for a chance to escape, but also paid a heavy price.

The remaining twenty or so drivers were just offering their heads to Li Banfeng if they continued to use their skills. Li Banfeng naturally didn't hesitate to kill all of them and then went after the driver boss.

The leader of the drivers rushed out of the coal yard, gathered the five drivers who were patrolling outside, and tried their best to escape.

These five people were the only ones left alive among the group of drivers. Together with himself, they became the only hope for this mission.

Not long after running away, a bamboo forest suddenly appeared in front of us, blocking the way.

Where did this bamboo forest come from?

These bamboos grow densely, which is not an obstacle for a traveler. He can rush out by just taking a few steps.

But for this group of coachmen, the bamboo forest was a bit troublesome, because they could pass through it but not their coaches.

Xiao Chuanzi and Xiao Genzi hid in the bamboo forest and watched what was happening outside.

Chuanzi asked in a low voice: "Genzi, who did you learn this method from? What level of cultivation are you at now?"

Xiao Genzi smiled and said, "We entered the Dao sect together. Don't you know my level of cultivation?"

Because he invented the home projector, Xiao Chuanzi's craftsmanship was widely recognized in Pro Province, and his cultivation level skyrocketed. In addition, with the elixirs that Li Banfeng rewarded him from time to time, he is now a fourth-level craftsman.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

He thought that Xiao Genzi's cultivation was definitely not as good as his, at most around the third level.

But tonight, Xiao Chuanzi found that he had underestimated Genzi. With a bag of seeds and a bucket of golden juice, Xiao Genzi managed to grow a bamboo forest in just over ten minutes. This method amazed Ma Wu.

You may be amazed, but now is not the time to chat.

"Come on, they're going into the woods!"

The driver originally wanted to go around the bamboo forest and observe it for a while, but he found that the forest was not small.

Li Banfeng was about to catch up, and there was no way to get around him, so he could only cut off the path and force his way in.

Ma Wu and Genzi protected Xiao Chuanzi and began to set traps on the road. As a fourth-level cultivator, their means were really limited in front of the cultivators on the cloud.

But Xiao Chuanzi was well prepared, and many traps were ready-made and took root.

The coachman's condition was not very good. He had forcefully blocked the steam pipe, but the steam pressure was running low and he also had little physical strength left.

After walking in the bamboo forest for a while, one of his drivers fell into a pit. Ma Wu used his Huan Xiu technique to cause the driver to burst a blood vessel due to extreme anxiety.

Another rickshaw driver was knocked down by the rocks. Before he could get up, the root poured a bucket of gold liquid on him. Both he and his rickshaw were corroded and he soon died.

Li Banfeng chased into the bamboo forest, killed two rickshaw drivers first, and then caught up with the rickshaw driver boss outside the bamboo forest.

The driver boss didn't run away.

He turned the car around and placed it in front of him, staring at Li Banfeng.

This is going to be a decisive battle with Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng waved his hand behind him, signaling Ma Wu and the others to stay as far away as possible. They must hide to a place where they cannot see the driver and the driver cannot see them either, otherwise the rushing tour may very likely bring harm to them.

The driver boss looked at Li Banfeng and said, "Brother, I never thought we would get to this point today."

Li Qi sighed, "I don't want to go this far either. How about this, you put the car down and release Miss Qin, and this matter ends here."

The driver laughed: "Brother, I have been in the underworld for many years, and you treat me like a novice. If I put down the rickshaw now, can you still spare my life?"

Li Banfeng also laughed: "If you don't put down the car, I can't spare your life. Do you think I'm a novice? Who do you call brother? Do I know you?"

The boss of the rickshaw drivers knew that he couldn't carry on any longer. If he continued, Tang Shijiang would be here by then, and he would have no chance of escaping.

"We are competing here, using only one move, without any other tricks, we will just use the quick tour.
Now you stare at me, and I stare at you, and we'll move together and see who's faster and who can save this life!"

This is the rule made by the driver. Both sides stare at each other, lock their sights on each other, and then act together. The one who moves faster disappears from the other's sight first, and the quick look takes effect immediately, and can kill the other party.

In fact, Li Banfeng didn't need to gamble with the other party, as his condition was much better than that of the coachman.

But he agreed.

"We are all good men under the Lv Xiu Sect," Li Banfeng stared at the driver, "Let's fight openly here today!"

The driver nodded and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as a whip. Let's fight fairly and have no regrets whether we live or die!"

The two men took up their positions and stood face to face.

A cold wind blew, raising a cloud of dust, and neither of them blinked.

The driver's eyes twitched and he lifted his right foot.

Li Banfeng tiptoed the ground and took the lead.

He was about to leave the driver's sight, but unexpectedly the driver stayed where he was, suddenly squatted down and hid behind the carriage shed.

This was a very insidious move, because Li Banfeng couldn't see him anymore.

Not being able to see means that the sight cannot be locked, and Li Banfeng now has no way to use the skill of observing things at a glance.

But there is a mechanism on the carriage shed that can reveal a hole, so the coachman can lock Li Banfeng at any time.

The driver smiled. Now he had the initiative. All he needed to do was wait for the right opportunity to kill Li Banfeng.

To be honest, the losses in this battle were not small, but if Li Qi was eliminated, it would definitely be a great achievement for him.

He had heard some rumors about Li Qi when he was in Neizhou, and all the rumors described Li Qi as an extremely difficult person.

After the actual fight, he found that Li Qi was not only difficult to deal with, but also vicious. In one battle, he almost killed all the Fire Wheel Gang that he had worked so hard to cultivate.

But what can I do?

After all, he was still a reckless young man and he had no idea what a real duel was.

He thought that a duel was a test of foundation and luck. How could he know how much scheming was involved? How could he know how many tricks there were in a real duel?
puff!

The driver felt a chill down his spine and when he turned around, he saw a man in black stabbing him in the back with a Tang sword.

Didn’t they agree on a duel? Why did he find help?
The Tang sword twisted and tangled in the driver's body, crushing his internal organs into a pulp. The driver instantly lost his ability to resist.

Li Banfeng walked up to the coachman and opened the door of his residence.

"Duel? You're really funny!" Li Banfeng picked up the driver boss and threw him into Suishenju.

The car was a little too big to fit into the door, so the old man smiled and said, "Leave it to me."

Squeak, squeak, squeak~
An invisible force came, and the rickshaw was twisted and deformed, and was sent into the house.

Li Banfeng closed the door, returned to the bamboo forest, and greeted Ma Wu and others.

Ma Wu, Chuanzi and Genzi walked out together.

Chuanzi asked, "What about the cart driver?"

Li Banfeng said: "We have cleaned it up, including the corpse."

Genzi smiled and said, "Seventh Master is very efficient. We were worried about him just now. I was thinking of getting two bamboo men to help him..."

While they were talking and laughing, Ma Wu looked worried and muttered to himself, "That's not right."

"What's wrong?"

"The number is wrong," Ma Wu counted carefully, "There were six people who entered the bamboo forest just now. Genzi and Chuanzi killed one, Chuanzi and I killed one, and Lao Qi killed three. Where is the other one?"

Li Banfeng was startled and checked the surrounding area.

There were two wheel tracks going away in the distance.

"No, these people are special, we can't let any of them go!"

These drivers acted in such unison that Li Banfeng felt they might be replicas of some kind of life form.

Li Banfeng once heard Qiu Luoye talk about this situation. A man from Neizhou turned into a house and appeared in Prozhou. A house soon turned into a group of houses. The peddler called this "having a baby."

If Li Banfeng's guess is correct, letting one go is equivalent to letting the whole nest go.

"Hurry up and chase him!" Li Banfeng told Ma Wu, "Call all our men over. We can't let this man leave Huangtu Bridge!"

He first followed the tire tracks from the coal yard all the way to the coal-sand river.

An old man was fishing out coal slag in the river. Li Banfeng approached him and asked, "Did you see a rickshaw driver?"

The old man nodded and said, "I saw him, pulling the cart, and hurriedly heading east."

Li Banfeng chased to the east, and after a while he saw a woman selling wontons pushing a cart and shouting out her wares.

"Sister, have you seen a rickshaw driver?"

The woman thought about it and said, "Just now a rickshaw driver walked by and seemed to have gone up the East Bridge!"

Li Banfeng quickly chased to the East Bridge. In front of him was a peddler, shaking a rattle and pushing a truck on the bridge.

Li Banfeng asked, "Did you see a driver go up the bridge?"

The peddler thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of driver? Male or female? Pulling or pushing the cart?"

When he heard this, he didn't see it.

Li Banfeng continued to chase forward, but after two steps, he retreated.

He stared at the peddler for a moment and asked, "Are you selling again?"

The peddler nodded and smiled, "That's right. I was away these days and I heard that you have been selling for me. It's really hard work for you."

"You're still laughing?" Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "Where have you been?"

The peddler pointed behind him and said, "I went to look for him."

Only then did Li Banfeng notice that there was a person standing behind the peddler.

The man looked to be about fifty years old, with a very round face and fairly regular facial features. His eyes were a little small, his eyebrows were a little thick, his nose was a little low, and his nose was very round. He looked very kind.

He knew Li Banfeng and stepped forward to greet him: "Li Bufeng, we meet again!"

PS: There is only one person who calls Li Banfeng "Li Bufeng", see Chapter 302 for details.

Dear readers, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Sala salutes you all!
