How could Xu Fengwu let Shi Qian escape? He grabbed Shi Qian's wrist tightly and pulled him back like an iron hoop. Shi Qian had only taken a step when he was forcefully pulled back.
Ruan Xiaoqi, Shan Shiqi, and the others heard Xu Fengwu's words and saw that the man was in a hurry to escape. They immediately reacted and stood up.
Ruan Xiaoqi and Chen Sheng blocked the window, Yuan Zhongliang and Yun Zongwu blocked the door, and Shan Shiqi reached out his fan-like palm and grabbed Shi Qian's neck.
"Damned thief, how dare you steal my things?”
Seeing Shan Shiqi coming at him, the lean man quickly turned his head and dodged. Then, he fell to the ground and tried to escape from Xu Fengwu's crotch like a loach.
Xu Fengwu laughed and lifted Shi Qian up with his arm.
Shi Qian was so anxious that he actually turned around. A small knife had appeared in his other hand at some point and he slashed at Xu Fengwu's wrist.
Shi Qian was already prepared. Once Xu Fengwu let go, he would immediately escape.
Who knew that at this moment, Shi Qian would feel his wrist tighten. Xu Fengwu had also grabbed it. He immediately turned pale with fright.
"You have good methods!" Xu Fengwu smiled at Shi Qian.
"You thief, you have such guts. You actually dare to use a knife on my brother. Do you want to die?”Shan Shiqi was also shocked. He kicked Shi Qian's leg, causing him to kneel on the ground.
Seeing that he could not escape, Shi Qian could not help but curse his luck and beg for mercy,"Good men, this lowly one had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. He actually dared to have designs on you all.”
Ruan Xiaoqi picked up the bag at the side and saw that the big bag of gold and silver had long disappeared. She immediately searched Shi Qian's body and found the bag of gold and silver.
"You birdman, your hands and feet are quite fast!”Ruan Xiaoqi immediately scolded.
Xu Fengwu wasn't afraid that he would escape from his eyes. He released his hands and said,""From your accent, you don't seem like a person from Ji Prefecture. Why did you come here to make a living?”
Shi Qian had no choice but to say," My name is Shi Qian. I was originally from Gaotang Prefecture. I've been wandering here for several years. Because I don't have any skills, I can only do some tricks like jumping over roofs and walls, jumping over fences and cheating horses. I didn't expect to be seen through by you today."”
Chen Sheng couldn't help but curse," So this fellow wanted to cheat our horses. If it wasn't for my big brother's alertness, I'm afraid he would have cheated us." Young Master didn't need to waste his breath on such a thief. He would break his hands first.”
One had to know that in the martial world, theft was the most looked down upon. Those petty thieves were also the type of people with the lowest status.
Xu Fengwu waved his hand and said," Although this person's methods are not glorious, he has some ability. The few moves just now were not something that ordinary people could do."”
Seeing that Xu Fengwu was speaking up for him, Shi Qian hurriedly said,"Hero, spare me this time. I was muddle-headed for a moment and won't dare to do it again.”
When Shan Shiqi heard Xu Fengwu speak, he scolded,""I'll let you off this time. If I bump into you again, breaking your limbs will be a light punishment.”
"Thank you, hero!"
Shi Qian quickly smiled apologetically at Shan Shiqi and then looked at Xu Fengwu. He could not help but muster his courage and say,"May I ask this great official's name? How did you see through this lowly person's name?”
"What?" Shan Shiqi scolded. Do you still want revenge?"
"I definitely don't have the guts to do that." Shi Qian hurriedly said.”
Xu Fengwu smiled and said," I heard your name on the road. As for me, I'm Xu Fengwu from Tokyo Jeju."”
Shi Qian was shocked.”
"That's right." Xu Fengwu nodded.
Shi Qian immediately knelt down and said,"I'm only good at stealing chickens and dogs. When can I find a way out?" As long as you don't mind my background, I'm willing to do my best for you. If I violate this oath, I'll be punished by heaven and earth!”
Seeing Shi Qian's actions, Xu Fengwu was a little surprised. He did not expect this person to be so ambitious.
"He's just a thief," Shan Shiqi said disdainfully."How can he be a hero of Liangshan?”
Xu Fengwu waved his hand and said," Brother Shiqi, you're wrong. In my opinion, as long as a person is used in the right place, there will be no useless person!" This Gushang Flea is very agile. We will be lacking such scouts when we gather intelligence in Liangshan.”
In the original novel, Shiqian was quite outstanding. He stole armor in Tokyo, set fire to Cuiyun Tower, spied on Zengtou City, struck the bell at Fahua Temple, set fire to Jeju, and so on. It could be said that in terms of merit alone, he was not inferior to anyone.
Unfortunately, Shi Qian's background was not good. Even though he had made great contributions, he was only ranked second from the bottom in the end. His ranking was not even comparable to the mediocre Wang Dingliu and Yu Baosi.
Shi Qian was overjoyed when he heard that and hurriedly bowed."Thank you for taking me in, brother. I will definitely sacrifice my life in the future!”
If it was possible, who would be willing to wander around all day without a peaceful place?
Although Shi Qian's movement technique was impressive and he could also fly on roofs and walk on walls, he could only steal chickens and touch dogs. Wherever he went, everyone would shout and beat him up like a rat crossing the street.
Once they failed, the constables would come after them, and they could only run away like stray dogs.
He lived a sullen life without dignity. If he accidentally fell, he might be finished, just like today.
If he had not met Xu Fengwu, Shi Qian might have had his limbs broken and died quietly.
Therefore, after finding out Xu Fengwu's identity, Shi Qian had the mentality of giving it a try. He did not expect to really bump into him.
Xu Fengwu helped him up and said,""In the future, we will be brothers. As our Liang Mountain grows stronger, we will not lack talents like you who spy on intelligence and cause destruction behind the enemy's back.”
Hearing Xu Fengwu say that he was a 'genius', Shi Qian said happily,"Big brother, this little brother has a group of good friends. Although their abilities are not as good as mine, they are still stronger than ordinary thieves. Can you bring them up the mountain?”
Xu Fengwu could not help but be a little surprised. The original novel did not mention that Shi Qian had any friends.
This so-called friend was probably the same as Shi Qian, who was usually a thief. After all, people were divided into groups.
Xu Fengwu thought for a moment and gradually understood.
In the original novel, Shiqian, Yang Xiong, and Shi Xiu went up the mountain. Because they stole chickens from the Zhu family inn, not only were they caught by the Zhu family, but they also almost caused Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu to be killed by Chao Gai. In the end, it caused a fight between Liangshan and the Zhu family.
In addition, Shi Qian's identity was not glorious to begin with, so how could he recommend some friends?
Xu Fengwu immediately said," Of course you can. However, the rules of Liangshan are very strict. You go and explain it to them first. Otherwise, if you break the rules, don't blame me for being merciless."”
Shi Qian bowed again.”
