Chapter 7 It’s Him Again

Although Li Qi was attacked, he did not make a fuss and returned to his home safely.

The Paibo Gang's base was also by the river, next to the shipbuilders.

Similar to the good relationship between the Lizhuang Gang and the tailors, the Paibo Gang also had a good relationship with the shipbuilders.

The Paibo Gang often helped the shipbuilders to pull out new ships for free, and the shipbuilders would repair the scrapped old ships and give them to the Paibo Gang. This mutual assistance allowed the two organizations to develop a good relationship.

As the second-in-command of the Paibo Gang, Li Qi was greeted by people along the way when he came back.

"Brother Li is back! The pigs over there have been killed and moved back, and they are being roasted!"

"The captain of the ship is also here, and he brought wine! I heard that it was rewarded by the bigwigs on the ship! Brother Li, go quickly, otherwise it will be gone soon!"

The boatmen and trackers gathered together and greeted Li Qi with a smile. Basically, everyone had a bowl of stewed meat in their hands, slurping it up, and they wanted to eat the whole bowl.

Five fat pigs were brought back and one was killed. Each pig weighed one or two thousand pounds. After removing the bones, the remaining internal organs and meat added up to more than one thousand pounds. The two gangs together had only three or four hundred people, and each person weighed two or three pounds, which was more than enough.

The day of opening the river was like the New Year for the boatmen.

The strong gang that failed to get the qualification to open the river was equivalent to not having meat to eat for a year.

However... Li Qi now knew that what they wanted was the Niu Li Shu, a real magic, rather than a few pigs.

And now, they already knew that they had stolen their magic.

But obviously, they didn't expect that Li Qi had practiced the Niu Li Shu to perfection in one night.

Not to mention them, Li Qi himself didn't expect it!

However, Li Qi had already made up his mind.

He pretended to be fine and greeted along the way, but deliberately showed his wet appearance, as if he had just come out of the water, with wet hair.

Because he had come out of the water.

Moreover, there were some blood stains on his clothes, which he deliberately painted.

He walked into the crowd as if nothing had happened, and then he suddenly limped and fell to the ground.

"Brother Li?!" The boatman beside him quickly put down his bowl and hurried over to help him up.

"It's okay, I just slipped and fell!" Li Qi immediately stood up by himself, pushed the others away, and then, in the hesitant eyes of the crowd, he quickly walked into his room and closed the door.

This made the boatmen and boatmen look at each other in bewilderment.

"Brother Li, seems to be injured?"

"I seem to have felt blood, and he didn't go into the water today? How come he is soaked?"

"I'll go find Uncle Liu!" A boatman reacted quickly and ran away immediately.

Li Qi sat on the bed and waited for a while.

As expected, soon there was a knock on the door outside, and Uncle Liu's voice greeted him.

Li Qi immediately got up, opened the door, pulled Uncle Liu in, and then slammed the door shut.

This kind of wooden shed originally had no windows, and it was pitch black when the door was closed, so there was no need to worry about someone peeking.

Uncle Six, on the other hand, was eating meat and drinking wine, and was extremely happy, but suddenly someone outside said that Li Qi was back and injured. He was so scared that he immediately swallowed the meat in his mouth, drank the wine in one gulp, and hurried over.

He knew that Li Qi had stolen the magic of the Lizhuang Gang, so he was extra careful.

However, as soon as he came in, he saw that Li Qi was in high spirits and showed no signs of injury.

"What is this?" Uncle Six was a little confused.

Li Qi confirmed that the door was closed, and pulled a wooden block to block the door, then looked at Uncle Six: "Uncle Six, don't make a sound first, let's keep the voice down, you listen to me."

Uncle Six immediately kept silent after hearing this, put away his doubts, and quietly waited for Li Qi's explanation.

"I was ambushed by the Lizhuang Gang on the way. Two people, holding wooden sticks and daggers, were ready to beat me to death." Li Qi said.

"Huh?! Have they found you?" Uncle Six's expression became solemn and his tone became higher.

"Hush!" Li Qi immediately raised his finger.

Uncle Liu immediately stopped talking and lowered his voice: "What's going on? How did they know?"

"I don't know, but it's obvious that they already know, and they specially found someone to ambush me. I guess our base is not safe either, but we are not easy to mess with, so they dare not start a full-scale war for the time being." Li Qi expressed his guess.

"So, you want to pretend to be injured?" Uncle Liu thought.

"Yes, I suspect that someone is watching our house and is monitoring it now." Li Qi said.

He can sneak into the home of the Lizhuang Gang, so the Lizhuang Gang can naturally do the same thing. Or the discipline of the trackers is too poor, it is difficult to maintain long-term concentration, and the work is very tiring, so there is really no manpower to keep alert.

"Then let's go and search them out now?" Uncle Liu suggested.

"No, don't alert the snake. I just pretended to be injured. Uncle Liu, you will go out later and spread my injuries quietly to reassure the people of the Lizhuang Gang." Li Qi instructed.

"But...what's the use of this?" Uncle Liu was a little puzzled.

It is true that pretending to be injured can paralyze the enemy, but what is the use of paralyzing him?

"Of course it is useful... We can - strike first." Li Qi clenched his fist and punched the air hard!

——————————

The leader of the Lizhuang Gang is named Lushan.

The trackers of the Lizhuang Gang usually call him Shanlaoda, and other gangs usually call him Shandazhuang.

As his name suggests, his martial arts gave him an extremely strong body, capable of carrying 2,000 kilograms, and he could pull a small boat by himself. Some strong men in the city were not as strong as him.

However, those who knew him knew that he not only had a strong body, but also a smart mind.

A few years ago, he once squeezed the Paibo Gang to death, but a man named Li Qi came out of nowhere and pulled the Paibo Gang back.

And recently, it was this Li Qi again...

"Li Qi... Li Qi." Lu Shan rubbed his temples and touched his big bald head.

He made up his mind and sent out to kill Li Qi, but he has not returned yet.

During the day, he accepted the divine inheritance of that big man, and the entire Lizhuang Gang accepted it, but there was actually an outsider there.

The man was masked, but his figure was very familiar.

He rushed over immediately, but he didn't catch up, the man ran very fast.

Later, the Lizhuang Gang found another strongman. It was said that the man was hit by a crazy man on the road, who tore off his mask and punched him hard in the face.

After carefully questioning the man, Lu Shan finally confirmed that the man must be Li Qi!

Li Qi again!

Damn it! It's always Li Qi!

This man is really endless. If it weren't for him, there would have been only one boatman gang in Lizhou City!
