Period drama: Old Cao's carefree life

Chapter 156 You have absolutely no face!

"Ah~~"

The pain caused the younger brother to release the stone, which fell freely and slammed hard onto the foot of the younger brother below.

"what!!"

Another scream.

Smack~~
The underling who was just up there fell face down to the ground, landing hard on his stomach.

Fortunately, he instinctively braced himself with his hands on the ground; otherwise, his face would have been flattened in that instant.

His face escaped unscathed, but his arms were in terrible shape.

The incident happened suddenly and without warning; both arms snapped instantly with a cracking sound.

The underling, who had just come to his senses, was about to scream again when Xiao Jianbiao strode up and covered his mouth.

Xiao Jianbiao was both anxious and furious. He growled at his underling, who was writhing and screaming on the ground clutching his heels like a maggot, "Damn it, stop yelling! Quick, gag him too!"

They're doing something shady right now, and if they get caught this early, they're finished!
The younger brother, belatedly realizing what was happening, hurriedly stepped forward to cover it.

Hiding in the shadows, Cao Weida couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He was quite satisfied with the results, but not entirely pleased.

He clearly aimed for the other person's head, but it missed so much; he thought he had aimed pretty accurately.

"If I could draw a skill like Mastery of Hidden Weapons, and replace stones with darts or nails, it would be an amazing skill for ambushing people at night."

Of course, compared to abilities like throwing weapons, he was more eager for divine shooting skills.

No matter how amazing a concealed weapon is, its short range is its limitation. It can't compare to the satisfaction of taking down a Japanese soldier with a single shot from hundreds of meters away.

Seeing that the world had quieted down, Xiao Jianbiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and growled under his breath, cursing, "You bastard, you can't even hold a rock! Tell me! What happened!"

"Waaah." The younger brother, whose arm had been broken, looked pained but innocent.

"I'm asking you a question!"

The underling beside him cautiously asked, "Brother Biao, is it possible that he's being covered by your hand and can't speak?"

Xiao Jianbiao was taken aback, then glared at his underling. "Damn it, you think you know everything?! You think you're so great?!"
He moved his hand away, and the younger brother with the broken arm gasped for breath; he had almost suffocated.

"Boss, I don't know what happened. My wrist just hurt when I raised it, so I instinctively let go."

While speaking, he secretly glanced at his accomplice whose foot had been hit.

The accomplice was also being covered in the mouth, his expression turning purplish-red. He had clearly been hit hard and his mouth was covered so he couldn't make a sound, which made his face turn purple.

He couldn't help but shrink back; I really didn't mean to.
"Damn it, you're more trouble than you're worth!" Xiao Jianbiao cursed, pinching his arm and saying irritably, "I'm going to set your bones, so bear with it and don't make a sound."

Xiao Jianbiao is ruthless, vicious, cunning, and extremely greedy, and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

But it must be said that his skills are definitely not weak.

Xiao Jianbiao is proficient in Baguaquan and is the junior brother of the current head of the Bagua School. His kung fu skills are quite remarkable.

With his exceptional skills, he founded the Sanhe Gang, a criminal organization that committed numerous crimes and acted arrogantly in Beiping City, making him a target of widespread hatred.

There's a saying that medicine and martial arts are inseparable. Martial arts practitioners are constantly getting into bumps and bruises, so they are especially skilled at treating common external injuries and broken bones.

For him, things like bone setting are a piece of cake.

The younger brother, whose arm was broken, was sweating profusely from the pain. He nodded and asked someone to bring him a small wooden stick to bite on in order to prevent himself from crying out.

Crack~~
Crack~~
With two sharp cracks, Xiao Jianbiao stood up and said to his underling, who was in so much pain he almost bit the stick in half, "You rest first. You, find some small sticks to help tie his arm up."

"Thank you, Master Xie Biao," the underling said weakly.

"Alright, we're brothers, no need to be so polite." After offering a perfunctory reassurance, Xiao Jianbiao arranged for people to stack up on top of each other and continue knocking.

Before anything had even happened, two of his brothers had been involved in accidents, leaving Xiao Jianbiao feeling incredibly frustrated.

But the younger brother had only hit the stone a couple of times when he cried out in pain again. This time, the younger brother didn't throw the stone away, but he clutched his armpit and showed signs of pain.

"Damn it, how dare they ruin my good time!" This time, Xiao Jianbiao saw it clearly. A pebble flew from the right, which instantly enraged him.

He knew it! Why would that underling suddenly let go of the stone? It turns out someone was playing dirty tricks in the dark!
"Go, show me who this is! Grab him!"

At Xiao Jianbiao's command, two of his underlings angrily rushed into the depths of the alley on the right.

As soon as the person turned the corner, they heard two muffled thuds, followed by a thud as someone fell to the ground.

Clearly, they were ambushed.

Xiao Jianbiao was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "Damn it, what a bunch of trash! Grab your weapons, everyone come with me to take a look!"

The things in this courtyard belong to Cao Weida. If they come to steal them, they are seriously offending Cao Weida. The guy in the shadows is clearly trying to sabotage their operation; he's in cahoots with Cao Weida.

If they manage to get away, they'll be in big trouble.

Although they all wore face coverings, who knew when that person arrived?
If they had arrived much earlier, wouldn't their faces have been seen by everyone?

Therefore, we must capture the guy who ambushed us from the shadows no matter what!
A group of henchmen angrily followed Xiao Jianbiao into the alley, while Cao Weida, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but smirk.

Come on, come on, this is a dead end.

Once you're all inside, I'll trap you all, and then none of you will be able to escape.

As he had hoped, relying on their superior numbers, Xiao Jianbiao and his gang of henchmen rushed straight into the dead end without any warning.

But when they chased them deeper into the area, they found that there was no road ahead, and they didn't see a single person, not even a hair.

Oh, no, that's not right either. There are two underlings lying on the ground wearing face veils.

"Where is he?" Xiao Jianbiao's eyes were sharp as if he were searching, not even missing the top of the wall.

Unfortunately, I didn't see anything.

"Damn it, this bastard's pretty fast. Don't let me catch him, or I'll skin you alive!"

Seeing that he hadn't caught them, Xiao Jianbiao was furious. He darted his eyes around and then waved his hand, saying, "Take the two of them with us. Let's go back and continue!"

There's no turning back now. What's done is done, and the people have already been offended. At this point, there's no other way but to go all the way down this path.

He had already made up his mind that once he got the money, he would immediately slip out of Beiping. At that time, he would be free to do as he pleased, and no matter how powerful Cao Wei Da was, he would only be confined to Beiping. Once he was in another place, he would still live a life of luxury.

As for those underlings, I don't care if they live or die!
Xiao Jianbiao has never been a person who values ​​loyalty and righteousness!

But just as they were about to leave the alley, they found someone standing at the alley entrance who had abducted them.

"Everyone, where are you planning to go?"

Xiao Jianbiao's eyes narrowed. How did this guy end up at the alley entrance?

He clearly saw his two henchmen go into the alley and get knocked unconscious, but he didn't see anyone leave when he rushed in!
In just a moment, he realized that this person was extremely skilled!

Having figured all this out, he withdrew his smile, cupped his hands, and said, "Brother, which side are you from? I am Xiao Jianbiao from Nancheng. Greetings."

"Brothers?" Cao Weida scoffed. "Who's your brother? You're just flattering yourself."

Xiao Jianbiao's heart sank, and he squinted at Cao Weida.

As the last rays of the sun were about to fade, Xiao Jianbiao focused his gaze on the other person's face through the dim light. Looking at the ambiguous smile on the young man's face and listening to his disdainful words, Xiao Jianbiao's heart sank deeper and deeper.

You're trying to raid someone's base, but the person in charge has blocked you at the alley entrance. What do you do?
Chun Chun ran right into the line of fire!

His mind raced, and he threw the razor blade on the ground to show his sincerity, then stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:
"So it was Master Cao in person; this was all a misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding?" Cao Weida sneered. "They sneaked into my house before dark, climbed over my wall, and now you're telling me it's a misunderstanding?"

"Are you trying to fool me?"

"Master Cao, I absolutely did not mean that. I truly did not know that this house belonged to you. If I had known, even if you gave me Xiao Jianbiao another chance, I would not have dared to be so presumptuous."

As he spoke, he took two more steps forward, but the next moment, with a 'bang,' a bullet hit right in front of his feet, startling Xiao Jianbiao so much that he froze on the spot and dared not take another step forward.

His face stiffened. "Master Cao, what do you mean by this?"

Cao Wei chuckled coldly: "Stop with your petty thoughts. If you dare take another step forward, the next bullet won't hit the ground, but your head!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Everyone, unbuckle your belts, tie your hands and feet together, and squat down!"

"Anyone who dares to disobey me, I'll give them a good shot!!"

Did he really think he couldn't see through Xiao Jianbiao's scheme? Did he think he was some naive newbie in the underworld?!
Xiao Jianbiao's face darkened. "Master Cao, is this really necessary? We're all in the same boat, we'll run into each other again soon. Aren't you being a bit too disrespectful?"

Cao Weida scoffed, "Face? You have no face whatsoever with me!"

"Do you really think you're something special just because others respectfully call you 'Master Biao'?"

"I'm a soldier, you're thieves. Don't try to be my brother, you're not worthy!"

"Master Cao, are you sure you won't give me any face at all?" Xiao Jianbiao's face was gloomy. He was a man who cared about his reputation, and he was already burning with anger after being mocked like this in front of so many of his underlings.

His gaze fell on the Browning in Cao Weida's hand, and he said with a straight face, "The Browning M1910 is indeed a good gun, but if I remember correctly, it only has seven bullets."

"You've already fired one shot, which means you have six bullets left."

"We have over a dozen brothers here, can you kill them all?!"
