Granny Yinhua disrupted the situation several times at critical moments, and Xu Rui couldn't bear it anymore.
Although you have been taught since childhood to respect the elderly and love the young, as an elderly person, you can't be disrespectful to the elderly, right
At that moment, Xu Rui turned back and stared at Granny Yinhua and said, "Then I would like to ask Granny Yinhua, what should our independent group do so that we do not favor one over the other?"
Granny Yinhua said coldly: "But I have to ask you, Chief Xu, about this. How do you know this?"
Xu Rui nodded, then turned around and bowed to the more than 20 bandit leaders present, and said: "In this battle of Feicheng, all the leaders took the lead in justice and extended a helping hand to our independent group. We, the independent group, are grateful. Later, each village can go to the Logistics Department to receive a thank you gift. Although the gift is light, the gratitude of all the officers and soldiers of our independent regiment is sincere. From now on, we will be the heroes of Feixi Green Forest Road. Brothers of the Independent Regiment, if there is any use for our Independent Regiment in the future, feel free to speak up, and we in the Independent Regiment will never frown even in water or fire."
After hearing Xu Rui's words, the expressions on the faces of the more than twenty bandit leaders immediately softened.
The reasons why these bandits went up to the mountains may be different, but they have one characteristic in common, that is, they believe in the concept of righteousness first. Even if a few bandit leaders do not agree with this, they will never dare to say it openly. If you dare to put aside the word righteousness in the world of martial arts, you will definitely pay the price.
Xu Rui's words just now highlighted the word "righteousness", and most of the bandit leaders present still followed this trick.
The situation took a turn for the worse. Seeing that a dispute was about to be resolved by Xu Rui's words, Granny Yinhua became a little anxious, but just as she was about to speak, Xu Rui interrupted her.
"But." Xu Rui forcibly interrupted Granny Yinhua, and continued with a louder voice, "Everything must be reasonable. The good guys from Feixi Green Forest Road have helped us a lot. We are grateful, but one code must be the same. Since today's conflict has reached me, I must distinguish right from wrong and argue the merits, lest anyone say that I, Xu Rui, defended my shortcomings afterwards."
Speaking of this, Xu Rui turned around and stared at Granny Yinhua coldly, and said: "For our friends and brothers, our independent group has only respect and gratitude, but for our enemies who dare to provoke us, our independent group will never accommodate, let alone Appeasement, our independent group only gives them fists!"
The twenty or so bandit leaders felt a little embarrassed.
Looking back now, it was just a fight, and it ended up being forced into a palace, which was really a big deal.
Especially Tang Kaishan felt his face burning. Xu Ruiyi took the lead and acted generously, but he, the head of Qiban Village, seemed petty and too fussy.
At that moment, Tang Kaishan stepped forward and said, "Sir Xu, this is all my fault..."
"Tang people don't need to take other people's responsibilities on themselves." Xu Rui stared at Granny Yinhua and said coldly, "Are there some people who dare to do it but dare not admit it?"
Xu Rui has finally figured it out. On the Feixi Green Forest Road, Qipanzhai is the most powerful on the surface, but in fact, Tang Kaishan’s prestige is far less than that of Granny Yinhua. If Granny Yinhua is not defeated, Feixi Green Forest Road will It was impossible to be truly convinced, not to mention that Granny Yinhua was still inexplicably hostile to him, and Xu Rui was not going to let her go.
The more than twenty bandit leaders all turned their attention to Granny Yinhua.
To be honest, Granny Yinhua really started this matter.
Grandma Yinhua did not expect that the situation would turn out like this, but she was not afraid of trouble. She immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, the old lady is indeed the one who took the lead in this matter. Since Chief Xu is unhappy, then let's According to the rules of Feixi Green Forest Road, my subordinates will see a real sign."
Xu Rui nodded and said, "Grandma Yinhua, please mark the path."
Granny Yinhua said: "Fight to the death! You can choose between long and short spears."
Xu Rui asked again: "There are different ways to fight to the death. What is the method of fighting to the death?"
Grandma Yinhua said: "You and I each have a gun and a bullet. We walk from one point with our backs to each other. When we reach ten steps, we turn around and shoot at the same time. The dead will lose and the living will win."
Xu Rui asked again: "What should we do if we lose, and what should we do if we win?"
Granny Yinhua said: "If I are defeated, all the children in Niangniang Village will be under your command from now on. If you are defeated, the Independent Regiment has already paid the price for today's fight, and there is no need for additional compensation. From now on, the mountains and rivers will be green, and I will be green in the west." Lin Dao has nothing to do with your independent group anymore. From now on, whether we meet friends or enemies depends on fate."
"It's nice." After hearing this, Xu Rui had a slight change in his view of Granny Yinhua.
No matter what, Granny Yinhua is still a person with clear grudges.
I just don’t know why Granny Yinhua is so hostile to him
At this moment, Xiao Taohong stood up unexpectedly and said, "Uncle, I will take your place."
"Xiao Taohong?" Xu Rui looked back at Xiao Taohong, his eyes showing surprise. He had always thought of Xiao Taohong as a timid and pretty maid. What did Sai Hongfu say about her? That's it, Xiao Taohong rarely even makes up her own mind, she is more like Sai Hongfu's shadow.
But after the surprise, I was moved, inexplicably moved.
From Xiao Taohong's firm eyes, Xu Rui felt her love for him!
Yes, this pretty maid with a proud bust, this pretty maid with a cute bun face, values his life far more than her own! For him Xu Rui, she would not hesitate to die!
But how could Xu Rui let the woman he loved take risks for him
Xu Rui shook his head and said, "Xiao Taohong, just watch from the side."
"No, uncle, I must take your place this time." Xiao Taohong's reaction once again exceeded Xu Rui's expectations.
Looking at Xiao Taohong's firm but gentle face, Xu Rui hesitated. On the one hand, he really didn't want to brush off Xiao Taohong's intentions, but on the other hand, he really didn't want Xiao Taohong to take risks.
At this time, Granny Yinhua said quietly: "Girl, you have to think clearly. Men are the most unreliable in this world, especially handsome men. Is it worth it for you to die for him?"
Xiao Taohong shook her head and said: "Mother-in-law, there is no value or not, only willingness or not."
"There is no value, only willingness or not?" Granny Yinhua was startled when she heard this.
Xiao Taohong said to Xu Rui again: "Uncle, I have never begged you. Let me beg you this time, okay?"
Listening to Xiao Taohong's soft plea, Xu Rui immediately softened his heart, nodded subconsciously and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me, you must be careful, and you must win."
Xiao Taohong hummed solemnly.
The duel began, and the bandits and officers and soldiers of the independent regiment who were watching gave way to the place.
Xiao Taohong chose a Sanba Gai, and Granny Yinhua also chose a Sanba Gai.
Then they walked to the field and stood back to back. Tang Kaishan counted the numbers himself. Every time he counted a number, Granny Yinhua and Xiao Taohong took a step forward at the same time. When Tang Kaishan counted to ten, they both turned around and looked back at the same time. If he fires again, the outcome of life or death will be decided in an instant. Looking at Xiao Taohong's graceful figure, Xu Rui instinctively wants to stop.
Xiao Taohong seemed to sense Xu Rui's worry and turned her head to give him a sweet smile.
Looking at Xiao Taohong's smile, Xu Rui swallowed the thing he had spit out and swallowed it back into his stomach. For some reason, Xiao Taohong at this moment actually gave Xu Rui a strong hint that she would definitely do it. Win, she will really win, Xiao Taohong is clearly confident, how can this girl get such confidence
"one!"
"two!"
"three!"
Tang Kaishan counted expressionlessly, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.
"Four!"
"five!"
"six!"
Tang Kaishan counted up one by one at a predetermined rhythm. The crowds around him, whether they were the bandits of the Feixi Eighteenth Village or the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, all held their breath.
"seven!"
"eight!"
"Nine!"
At the count of nine, Tang Kaishan's face jumped a little, all because of nervousness.
However, the two parties involved, Xiao Taohong and Granny Yinhua, still walked forward calmly as if strolling in the courtyard, as if this was not a duel of life and death, but just an ordinary contest.
"Ten!" Tang Kaishan finally shouted the last number, his voice a little out of tune due to nervousness.
With ten clicks, Xiao Taohong and Granny Yinhua took a step forward at the same time, and then turned around at the same time. While turning around, the two of them had already raised the 38 caps in their hands at the same time, and aimed the black muzzles at each other's heads. Then, the two of them pulled the trigger at the same time, and then there was a "bang" gunshot.
The gunfire sounded, and Xu Rui's heart skipped a beat.
Looking carefully, Xiao Taohong was standing in the middle of the field, unscathed.
Turning around to look at Granny Yinhua, she was also unscathed. Both of them had missed
At this time, Granny Yinhua said expressionlessly: "Girl, you won."
Only then did Xu Rui notice that the golden walking stick on Granny Yinhua's temple had disappeared. Apparently it had been shot away by Xiao Taohong just now. This girl's marksmanship has improved a lot.
Xiao Taohong smiled sweetly and said, "Mother-in-law, I knew you would let me."
Xu Rui's heart moved when he heard this. Did this girl know that Granny Yinhua would let her
But Granny Yinhua waved her hand and said, "If you lose, you lose. I won't let you go."
After finishing speaking, Granny Yinhua turned to Xu Rui and said: "Captain Xu, I am willing to admit defeat. Although the old woman was lucky enough to survive, the bet still needs to be fulfilled. From now on, all the more than 500 gunmen in Niangniang Village will join the independent army." Tuan, the same goes for me, old lady, but I still have a condition, I will only obey this girl’s orders.”
After saying that, Granny Yinhua pointed at Xiao Taohong with her finger, with a hint of doting in her eyes.
Seeing this scene, Xu Rui seemed to understand something. He nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."
This result was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Not only the bandit leaders of Tang Kaishan and Feixi Eighteen Villages couldn't believe it, but even Sun Changhe and Yang Banan were also in disbelief. What was going on? A life-and-death duel ended in comedy. Not only did everyone in Niangniang Village join the independent group, Granny Yinhua also became Xiao Taohong's bodyguard? (To be continued.)
