Underworld Chronicles: Qiao Si's Strategist, Xiao Ke, and Wang Weifan

After killing off one of Wang Zhi's underlings, he got into a fight with another of Yuan Lao Er's underlings.

Zhang Guangyue was incredibly brave. When he saw a henchman wielding a large cleaver coming at him, he turned his body to the left, and the cleaver swept down just short of his nose.

Zhang Guangyue gripped the dagger, the tip pointing outwards and wedged it against his wrist. He swept it upwards in a swift motion. With a heart-wrenching scream from the henchman, his little finger and the large dagger fell to the ground simultaneously. Bright red blood dripped from the henchman's severed finger, like scattered dark red flowers.

Seeing that his companion had lost his fighting ability, another of Yuan Lao Er's henchmen gripped a large broadsword with both hands and slashed at Zhang Guangyue. Zhang Guangyue suddenly turned around, grabbed his wrist with his left hand, and the gleaming broadsword stopped in mid-air.

Zhang Guangyue didn't give his underling any time to react. While grabbing him with his left hand, he flipped the dagger in his right hand and stabbed it into his stomach.

After stabbing him five or six times, Zhang Guangyue finally stopped. The henchman, staring in terror, fell straight to the ground along with the large knife, never to get up again.

Even after the other man fell to the ground, Zhang Guangyue didn't let him go. He stepped on the henchman's hand, stabbed down with his dagger, and cut off one of his fingers.

Then Zhang Guangyue ran to Wang Zhi's side and joined him in dealing with the henchman opposite him. When Wang Zhi saw Guangyue coming to help, he picked up his baton and swung it vertically at the henchman's head. The henchman instinctively blocked with his knife, and Zhang Guangyue took advantage of the opening to slash him in the armpit.

The henchman cried out in pain and dropped the large knife in his hand. Wang Zhi swung his stick horizontally and struck him directly in the jaw. The henchman fell to the ground with a thud.

Seeing his underling fall to the ground, Wang Zhi slammed his foot into his groin, smashing one of his testicles open like a ripe tomato bursting with juice, blood splattering everywhere.

The underling let out a bloodcurdling scream that pierced the silent night. Even though the underling was in so much pain, Da Hu forced Zhang Guangyue to jump on him, grab his hand, twist it backwards, and with a swift motion, cut off his little finger.

Yuan Lao Er's five henchmen were all wiped out, leaving only him holding a large knife and locked in a stalemate with Xiao Ke. At this moment, Wang Zhi and Zhang Guangyue rushed over.

Xiao Ke and his two companions, one wielding an iron chain, one chopping with a baton, and one stabbing with a dagger, after a couple of rounds, Yuan Lao Er was struck on the face by an iron chain, leaving a large, red bloodstain that was quite gruesome when reflected in the bright moonlight.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Lao Er was stabbed in the arm and hit on the shoulder with a baton. Seeing that the situation was bad, he slashed wildly a few times, abandoned his wounded underlings, and turned to run away.

Wang Zhi and Zhang Guangyue wanted to continue chasing, but Xiao Ke stopped them, saying, "Don't chase them. This is their territory. There are many of their people in the casino. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Let's go back quickly."

Xiao Ke led Wang Zhi and Zhang Guangyue back, while Yuan Lao Er scrambled back to the casino. Yuan Lao Da and Yuan Lao San were dumbfounded when they saw how badly their second brother had been beaten. What happened to their second brother, who rarely lost a battle?

"Second brother, what's going on? Where are the others?" asked Boss Yuan.

"Brother, they've all been caught! Quick, call for help and go after those guys!" Old Yuan said, panting, clutching his injured arm.

"Hey, Tiger, Tiger, get the brothers together! Come quick, let's go after them!" Yuan Laosan ordered his men.

The three Yuan brothers were quite influential in Daoli District, with more than 20 henchmen under their command. Upon hearing the third brother's shout, his men immediately gathered around, grabbed their weapons, and ran out with the third brother and his men.

But by then, Xiao Ke and his gang had already disappeared. Boss Yuan and Boss Yuan chased after them for a long time but couldn't catch up. Helpless, they could only send their injured underlings to the hospital, leaving revenge for tomorrow.

The next day, the Yuan brothers used all their connections to find out who Xiao Ke and his family were, what their names were, and where they lived.

Back at his uncle's house, Xiao Ke wasn't idle either. He believed that the Yuan brothers, having suffered such a great loss, would definitely not let it go easily and would eventually find out where they lived and come to take revenge.

Xiao Ke told Wang Zhi and Zhang Guangyue that the people from that casino might come looking for them any day, so they shouldn't go anywhere or be alone for the next few days and should stay at his uncle's house.

In addition, we need to prepare some tough weapons. They have a large number of people and are powerful. If we want to intimidate them, we need some tough stuff. Does anyone have any connections?

"Brother, I have a friend whose family owns a hunting rifle; his dad often goes hunting in the mountains," Zhang Guangyue said.

Xiao Ke immediately gave Zhang Guangyue twenty ten-yuan bills and said, "Guangyue, go and buy the hunting rifle. Take as many bullets as you can get. Go now. If you don't have enough money, we'll give you as many as you need."

"Brother, he can sell ten; he doesn't need that many," Zhang Guangyue said.

"No, just give him more, so he can't tell anyone he sold it to you; he can keep it to himself," Little K said.

Okay, I'll go right now. Zhang Guangyue took twenty ten-yuan bills and ran to his friend's house.

The friend Zhang Guangyue mentioned was named Wei Qinggang, who later followed Xiao Ke. At this time, Wei Qinggang and Xiao Ke did not know each other.

Zhang Guangyue approached Wei Qinggang and said, "Gangzi, I want to buy your dad's hunting rifle and bullets. How much do you think is reasonable?"

Wei Qinggang was also a gambler. He had just lost all the money in his pocket yesterday and was short of cash. When he heard that Guangyue wanted to buy a hunting rifle, he couldn't be happier.

"Why did you buy that thing? Do you want to hunt too?" Wei Qinggang asked.

Never mind that, will you sell ten Great Unity bills?

How much? Actually, Wei Qinggang had expected 50 yuan, but he didn't expect Zhang Guangyue to be so generous.

"Ten large bills, will you sell them? How many bullets do you have left?" Zhang Guangyue asked.

"Sell, sell!" Wei Qinggang jumped up and ran into the hut to find his father's hunting rifle. A moment later, he came out with the rifle and 10 bullets.

"There are 10 bullets left," Wei Qinggang said, handing them to Zhang Guangyue.

Here, twenty ten-yuan notes. Ten are for the gun, and the other ten are for your mouth. Don't tell anyone you sold it to me. Zhang Guangyue took out the 200 yuan Xiao Ke had given him and handed it to Wei Qinggang.

When Wei Qinggang saw the twenty ten-yuan bills, even the wrinkles in his anus stretched into a wide grin.

Guangyue, you've made a fortune, huh? I won't tell anyone. If my dad asks, I'll just say I lost it. I won't tell anyone.

"That's good. I'm off; I have urgent business to attend to." Zhang Guangyue took his hunting rifle and bullets and left.

Wei Qinggang happily took the twenty ten-yuan bills and went to the casino to enjoy himself.

Will the three Yuan brothers find Xiao Ke and his friends next? And how will Xiao Ke respond? Stay tuned for the next episode.
