Chapter 359 Falling out
Zhao Yushu sat on the comfortable couch in the compartment.
He expressed sympathy for the two people below, but he did not intend to take action for them now.
Because now there is only one side of the story, and these two people really couldn't resist the temptation and made mistakes.
The swordsman and the gunman were almost exhausted, but they didn't stop. They were not completely forced to fight. Long before today's drama, they had been toyed with and became estranged from each other, but it had not reached the point of life and death feud.
Next to the stage, there was an old lady chanting Buddhist scriptures with her eyes closed, and a mother and daughter hugging each other and crying. These people were once as close as a family.
Zang Niu apologized and walked out. Master Xia sat directly next to Zhao Yushu and said, "I wonder how long Brother Bai can stay in Xiangzhou? If it's long enough, we have other people to play with."
Zhao Yushu suppressed his anger and said, "Oh? There are still people so blind as to dare to offend the Cao Gang?"
Master Xia chuckled, "There are so many people who don't know how to appreciate others' kindness. They all think they are heroes. If they were really heroes, how could they kill each other for a little fame or a woman? It means that they were just acting before, so we set up a stage for them to act to their heart's content. By the way, Brother Bai, you came from Xijing, do you know anything about the academy?"
Zhao Yushu moved slightly: "Of course I know. I am also fortunate to be familiar with a royal child. Ha, he is very good at swordsmanship and is now the emperor's right-hand man."
Master Xia was stunned: "Oh, I'm talking about the academy in Dongdu."
"Oh, Mr. Xia, why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't even been to Dongdu. What's going on at the White Horse Academy?"
"Mr. Liu from the White Horse Academy has become quite famous recently. Let's see who will win!"
Zhao Yushu thought what a pity, Brother Gai was about to get to the point, but it was a pity that the two unlucky knights were going to be doomed.
After all, the spear had the advantage of length, and it finally tortured the swordsman until he had no strength left. The swordsman's whole body was oozing with blood, and even without the tip of the spear, his skin was still as rough as rags.
Although the Gunners didn't have an easy time, he won in the end.
The swordsman fell to the ground, looked at his mother, then glanced at his former good brother, as if he wanted to say something, but unfortunately there was a wooden ball in his mouth, so he died without even having the chance to say his last words.
However, the Cao Gang did not let the wounded gunman go. A masked man walked up, handed the gunman a dagger, and pointed at the old lady in the iron cage.
Zhao Yushu stood up. Master Xia was startled and stood up as well: "Yes, the next part is the most exciting. Stand up to see it more clearly."
The gunman had a dull look in his eyes as he took the dagger blankly and walked towards the iron cage like a zombie. His footsteps paused when he passed by the body of his friend, but it was just a pause.
Zhao Yushu held a few silver needles in his left hand. This distance should be enough to deceive Master Xia on the right and subdue the gunman. He didn't know if his accuracy would be good enough at such a distance. As long as he could save these people's lives first, he would have a chance to rescue them quietly later. As for the future, alas, things had come to this point, and the future would be better than the current situation.
However, when the gunman was only a few steps away from the old lady, there was a sudden burst of light.
Zhao Yushu couldn't help but squint his eyes, only then did he realize that the stage on the first floor was not surrounded by walls, but supported by several large pillars, and the rest were all curtains. At this time, the curtains were pulled open together, and the torches outside lit up as bright as day, with many people exclaiming.
"Hahahahaha, Brother Bai, look, we specially found the biggest mouth in Xiangzhou to wait here, and let them watch this final scene, hahaha!"
The gunman stared at the dozens of people outside the house in amazement. He was walking towards his best friend's mother with a dagger in his hand, and behind him was his good brother of decades.
Although his reputation had been ruined long ago, he had killed his best friend and wanted to kill his best friend's mother. No matter how many good things he did in the future, he could not turn over a new leaf.
No, he has no future.
The gunman's tears slowly rolled down. He looked back at his wife and daughter, with reluctance and guilt in his eyes. Then he laughed miserably, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times respectfully to the old lady in front of him.
The dagger slashed across his neck, and the Xiangzhou hero, an expert in both spear and sword, died.
Death is not the end, and his reputation will not improve because of his suicide. His mastery of spear and sword will only become a topic of conversation or a laughing stock for the people of Xiangzhou.
"What a pity! Why did he commit suicide? I was counting on him to fight back in anger and release some mad dogs in there. Brother Bai, think about it, a great hero ended up being bitten to death by mad dogs. Isn't that quite interesting? Hahaha!"
Zhao Yushu took off his mask and said, "Master Xia, have you forgotten something?"
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"I just like to play and enjoy excitement. When have I ever said that I am a heartless and immoral person?"
Mr. Xia's face changed: "Boss Bai, I treat you as one of my own, so I brought you here with Brother Niu."
"One of our own?" Zhao Yushu sneered, "You just want to show off your power to me. You are playing the good cop and the bad cop. You have clearly made up your mind to do business with me, but you still pretend that the Cao Gang does not want to interfere in this matter. However, Master Xia has made a wrong calculation. I hate bullying the weak the most in my life. Boss Zang, why don't you show up!"
The cold iron sword was unsheathed with a loud bang, and the sound attracted the attention of several people in the surrounding compartments.
"Boss Bai, you are so courageous!" A round of applause rang out, and Zang Niu opened the door and walked in: "But Boss Bai, what can you do with just a sword?"
"Haha, Bai has been through a lot all his life, and I have seen a lot of big scenes. Every time I draw my sword, I am determined to die. Before I die, I will kill as many people as I can!"
Master Xia shuddered, and the look he gave Zhao Yushu was no longer so enthusiastic: "Niu, Brother Niu, please talk nicely if you have anything to say."
Zang Niu's expression changed. The other party was just a mortal, and he was a cultivator. This was his territory, and it would be easy to kill the other party. However, the other party was right in one thing. He wanted to do business. Although the Cao Gang also engaged in water bandits, at least more than half of their business were legitimate businesses.
"Hahaha, Boss Bai misunderstood. We, the Cao Gang, really want to do business with Boss Bai. I mistakenly thought that Boss Bai was interested in this, so I brought you here. It's my fault. Since Boss Bai is eager to help others, how about giving these three people to Boss Bai as a favor?"
Zhao Yushu snorted coldly: "That's great, but I'm not expecting Bai to be chopped up and thrown into the river as soon as he leaves this door."
Zang Niu smiled and said, "We are all gentlemen. Who would think about fighting and killing every day? Boss Bai, I have given you my sincerity. If Boss Bai is still not satisfied, then I will personally send Boss Bai out."
Zhao Yushu touched his chin and said, "Boss Zang is very sincere. If I continue to pester him, it would be too rude. I have accepted these people. But speaking of scholars, what gentleman in the academy did Mr. Xia mention just now?"
