Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 576 Dalang chops people and Erlang bao

Wu Song was just about to sneak in but he didn't expect that Ximen Qing was holding a banquet today and had invited Ying Bojue, Xie Xida, Zhu Rinian, Chang Shijie, Sun Guazui, Bai Laiqiang and other people who were both sworn brothers and bad friends. They had a banquet in the other courtyard and invited young ladies to accompany them. They were having a great time, drinking and having fun, with fine wine and white meat, wearing bellybands and folded crotch pants, playing pitch pots on the swings, and carrying guns and sticks.

How could the servants sleep if the master didn't sleep? The kitchen corridor was lit up by lanterns and torches. The maids were responsible for lighting the fire, making soup, and serving wine. If they were a step slow and disturbed the master's interest, they would be the first to eat. They all complained bitterly.

In the kitchen, two maids were complaining beside the soup pot.

"After making a fuss all day, they still don't want to go to bed, and just want tea! Those two guests are shameless. They made the sky their quilt, the ground their bed, and the swing, so they're not afraid of it falling off the swing."

"What are you afraid of, old man? There are also people who like rabbits, and they like this muddy path."

The two maids were considered well-informed in Ximen's family, and they could tell you many dangerous and ferocious words that broadened people's horizons.

Wu Song frowned, staring at the brightly lit courtyard, somewhat hesitant.

He had originally wanted to take advantage of the cover of night, enter the house with a knife and chop off Ximen Qing's head to eliminate the future trouble for his brother and sister-in-law, but who would have expected to encounter a scene like this.

Just when Wu Song was thinking about whether to kill the man together, he unexpectedly met a fellow traveler. He hurriedly leaned against the wall and hid in the corner, revealing one eye.

When Wu Song arrived, three or five more people came into the stable. There were so many of them and their feet were heavy that they woke up the groom, who shouted.

"I just went to bed. If you want to steal my clothes, you should do it earlier!"

After saying this, the groom put on his clothes, picked up the pitchfork leaning against the corner, and just pushed open the door, he heard a puff, and a cow-ear sharp knife stabbed from bottom to top several times. Without delay, a hand was stretched out to cover the groom's mouth with his eyes wide open.

He dragged the bleeding groom into the house, wiped the blood off the knife, closed the door, nodded to the men in black who were waiting, and headed towards the courtyard with the ox-ear knife in hand.

There were more than one group of people coming to Ximen Mansion today. In the dark, there were so many figures that I couldn’t recognize many of them at first glance. They were all wearing black clothes and masks, and the knives in their hands were stained with ink. They were definitely not ordinary thieves.

Wu Song was secretly surprised, wondering when such a group of strong men came to Yanggu County.

This group of men in black were not only numerous and powerful, but also very ruthless. When they met a maid, they would grab the corner of her hair and kill her with a single knife. When they met a servant, they would use a single knife to kill him or her on the spot.

Even if there was an occasional noise, what could it matter? There was music playing and dancing in the courtyard, and everyone was drunk, so no one could hear it.

As for outside the yard, Ximen Qing and his people took turns to host banquets, and it was not the first or second time that there was noise all night long. Knowing that Ximen Qing was cruel and ruthless, and that he colluded with officials, they could not sue the officials or argue with them, so they could only ignore him. Therefore, as long as there was no deafening cry of killing, they would pretend not to hear anything.

However, the villa was bustling with activity, the aroma of wine filled the air, and the sight of white meat was dazzling. Only Ximen Qing was raising his glass to look at the moon, and he was not drunk, because he was feeling sad.

Ever since he met the wife of Mr. Wu, he has been unable to sleep, eat, and have no energy to do anything. He is as if he has lost his soul, otherwise he would not have been so cruel as to give up his concubine.

Having made such a huge sacrifice but seeing no results, it's no wonder that he looks so depressed and worried.

At this moment, a group of men in black rushed in from the outer gate and started hacking anyone they saw. Ximen Qing was immediately shocked, and was so shocked that he was completely stunned.

Ximen Qing knew very well how much he was hated and how unethical his business was. He thought that the enemy was here to seek revenge, so he didn't care about his sworn brothers who were present. He turned around and ran away, even hoping that those brothers could help him block a few more attacks.

As for the oath they made at the beginning that they did not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month of the same year, it was just a joke. If they had taken it seriously, when Hua Zixu died, they would have had to slit their throats in front of his grave.

The Wu brothers wanted to kill someone tonight, and a group of thieves came that day. How could it be such a coincidence? It must have been arranged by Yan Xu.

During the whole process, Yan Xu did not intervene directly, but deliberately let Li Ji lose money, provoking several gangs of strongmen, and then killed and burned the people to Yanggu County. When they arrived in Yanggu County, he took the opportunity to let Li Zhong and the Taoist priest pretend to be strongmen who wanted to kill for money, and deliberately let these people hear the discussion, so that they would know that there was a great official Ximen in Yanggu County, with a huge fortune and a beautiful wife and concubines.

This group of people were being hunted down by Li Ji, the swift-fighting ghost. Not only did they lose their village, but they also lost their money and had no food to eat. When they heard about this good thing, they could not sit still and sent people to the county town to inquire that very day. It turned out to be just as the other party had said.

Fearing that their competitors would overtake them and also worried that others would hold them back, they formed a temporary alliance and vowed to take down this big customer together.

Without further ado, a group of people, with the intentional or unintentional help of Yan Xu, came uninvited under the cover of night and miraculously did not alarm anyone.

If they succeed, it will be the turn of others to be unlucky. For example, Ximen Qing's sworn brothers are in great misfortune tonight.

Ying Bojue was hit in the face by a knife, and the brocade stool he was sitting on was also chopped over. He lay on the ground, holding half of his face and howling.

Xie Xida, who was standing by, tried to run away, but he was so frightened that his whole body was stiff. Just as he stretched out his feet, the man turned around and swung his knife, hitting him on the head. Both he and Ying Bojue lay on the ground howling.

"Hmph, you use all your strength on women. How unpleasant." A man in black chopped off the two men's heads with two sharp cuts and snorted coldly.

"These guys are worse than us. It would be too easy for them to get away with it." This man had his reasons. Then the two of them snorted coldly at the same time and went after Ximen Qing at the same time. He was their target this time.

Zhu Rinian fled in panic, but just as he stepped over the threshold, he was hit on the neck and ear, and fell to the ground outside the door.

Chang Shijie angrily picked up a chair and swung it over, but he didn't expect that his body, which was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, was unable to support it and he sprained his waist and was stabbed to death.

Sun Guazui and Bai Laiqiang were even more useless. They hadn't even pulled up their trousers, and their legs and waists were weak and they couldn't run. They were chopped to pieces one after another. From then on, Ximen Daguanren's sworn brothers were all wiped out.

Ximen Qing fled into the backyard in panic, closed the door tightly, and trembled all over, completely ignoring the cries of his wives and concubines behind the door.

That's right, this man who ran away did not take his woman with him. Instead, he locked her outside the door, because he knew very well that if a man saw a woman, especially a beautiful woman who he could do whatever he wanted, he would definitely not have time to chase a man. As long as he could escape, his life could be saved. As long as he could save his life, the woman would be gone, and there would still be one woman he hadn't taken.

Continuously encouraging himself, Ximen Qing stumbled hurriedly, taking one deep step and one shallow step towards the back door. He actually managed to escape from the house, but just as he took one step over the threshold, a cold light flashed and his waist felt cold. As he lost weight, his upper body fell heavily to the ground, howling in pain. But when he looked up and saw the ugly face of Wu Dalang holding an axe, he almost went crazy.

"It's you!"

Although Wu Dalang didn't know who he was, he didn't intend to keep him alive.

Because of his size, Wu Dalang was unable to climb over the wall, so he thought that the noise inside was caused by Erlang. With such a big commotion, there must be no one left alive, so he simply raised the axe and chopped it vertically, turning the west door into a double door.

At this time, Wu Song came hurriedly with a black scarf and a mask on his face, just in time to see his brother wiping the blood off the axe, and Ximen Qing was lying on the ground, slightly broken.

Although I don’t know why my brother is here, the most urgent thing is to deal with the scene quickly.

Wu Song reached out and pulled down the blackout curtain on the attic window sill, wrapped up Ximen Qing's belongings and threw them into the attic, then fetched a torch and lit it with a tinder.

Wu Dalang came over, grabbed the torch, and threw it into the attic without hesitation, and it immediately caught fire.

In this case, he killed the man and set the fire.
The behavior of the two brothers really proved what Wang Po said, Dalang chops people and Erlang wraps them up, Erlang lights fires and Dalang burns them, they are indeed good brothers.
