A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 450: Flying Knife Skills

Li Ying, the Flying Eagle, is the owner of Lijia Village and a famous wealthy man in the county. Whether in terms of martial arts, status in the martial arts world, or family background, he is quite similar to Jade Unicorn Lu Junyi.

Speaking of which, this Pu Tian Diao was also targeted by Liangshanpo, framed by Wu Yong, and forced to go to Liangshan.

Originally, Li Ying was a powerful landlord with connections and money at home. He also had hundreds of young and strong men on his farm and was quite powerful.

It was because Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and Shi Qian wanted to join Liangshan Marsh. When they passed by the foot of Zhujiazhuang, Shi Qian was greedy and stole a rooster that crowed to announce the dawn from a farmer. After being discovered, instead of apologizing, he made a scene in Zhujiazhuang, which made the farmer furious and they arrested Shi Qian.

Afterwards, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu went looking for help and met an acquaintance, Du Xing, who was the housekeeper of Lijiazhuang. Du Xing took Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong to seek help from Li Ying, the flying eagle of Lijiazhuang.

When Li Ying heard that the incident was caused by a chicken, he did not take it too seriously. He asked someone to write a letter and sent it to Zhujiazhuang, asking Zhujiazhuang to release the person for his sake.

Unexpectedly, the people of Zhujiazhuang didn't take Li Ying seriously at all and ignored him. Li Ying wrote another letter in person, asking Zhujiazhuang to release the people. Zhujiazhuang not only refused to give him face, but also tore up Li Ying's letter.

Li Ying was rejected, so he gathered 300 men and went to Zhujiazhuang to ask for the person. He fought with Zhu Biao, the best fighter in Zhujiazhuang, for seventeen or eighteen rounds. Seeing that he could not win, Zhu Biao turned around and fled, and shot an arrow to injure Li Ying.

Afterwards, the alliance between Lijiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang was completely broken.

Afterwards, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu arrived at Liangshan Lake and asked Song Jiang to send troops to rescue them. Song Jiang really wanted to find an excuse to destroy Zhujiazhuang at the foot of the mountain, so he led his troops to attack Zhujiazhuang.

However, Song Jiang's expedition was not successful. Not only did he fail to capture Zhujiazhuang, but he also suffered heavy casualties. At Yang Xiong's suggestion, Song Jiang took people to ask Li Ying to help him attack Zhujiazhuang. Li Ying did not want to get involved too much with the bandits in Liangshanpo, so he pretended to be sick and watched from the sidelines.

After conquering Zhujiazhuang, Wu Yong asked the scholar Xiao Rang to pretend to be the prefect of Yunzhou. On the pretext that Zhujiazhuang had sued Li Ying for colluding with Liangshan, he arrested Li Ying and Du Xing and sent them to the prefecture. Later, he kidnapped the two men and took them to Liangshan on the way.

After arriving at Liangshan, Li Ying still wanted to return to his Lijiazhuang to live his own life. However, the Liangshan hero turned his kindness into enmity and brought Li Ying's family to Liangshan in advance, emptied Lijiazhuang of its property, and burned it down, completely cutting off Li Ying's escape route.

At this point, Li Ying had no way back and had to go to Liangshan.

When the Liangshan heroes gathered together, Li Ying was ranked 11th, and was given the title of Tianfu Star, in charge of money, food and supplies for Liangshan.

Fortunately, Li Ying had a good ending. After the expedition against Fang La, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Yunzhou. He returned home and became a wealthy man, and had a good end to his life.

"Master Li, do you know anything about the bandits on Liangshan Lake?"

"Of course I know. Our Dulonggang is right at the foot of Liangshan Lake. In order to guard against the bandits in Liangshan Lake, our Li, Zhu, and Hu families have formed an alliance. Half a year ago, Chao Gai and his gang robbed the birthday gift and went to Liangshan.

Later, it was said that there was an internal conflict on Liangshan Mountain, and the leader of Liangshan Mountain, Wang Lun, was killed by his subordinates, and Chao Gai successfully took the top position in Liangshan Mountain. After that, Liangshan Marsh attracted many bandits in the past six months, and also formed infantry and navy, and had organized 1,000 to 2,000 troops.

The 800-li lake already has a geographical advantage, and with their elusive navy, Liangshan Lake has become a force to be reckoned with..."

"Even if they become powerful, they are still just a bunch of bandits. If the imperial court really wants to send troops to fight them, they won't be able to hold out for long."

"What Yuanwailang said is very true."

The two chatted about some things in Liangshanpo, and then talked about other things for a while. Lu Cheng asked Li Ying about his ambitions in a roundabout way.

Li Ying is nearly forty years old. Although he has good martial arts skills, he has lost his drive. He just wants to be a wealthy man and live a good life with his family.

However, he didn't know that given the current location of Lijiazhuang, the people on Liangshan would not let him live a peaceful life.

Of course, Lu Cheng had no intention of recruiting him for the time being. He just told Li Ying to be on guard against the bandits in Liangshanpo.

Afterwards, the two went to the training ground to compete in spearmanship. Li Ying was good at using a solid iron spear, and his martial arts skills were indeed not low, on the same level as Lu Da at the time.

The two exchanged more than ten moves. Lu Cheng separated the spear from Li Ying's hand and said loudly, "Master Li, I have heard that your flying knife can injure people within a hundred steps. Why don't you show off your flying knife skills?"

"This...I'm afraid it will hurt Manor Master Lu."

"It's okay. If you really hurt me, I won't care."

"Then please be careful, Master Lu!"

As he spoke, Li Ying reached back to his waist and threw out a flying knife, which avoided Lu Cheng's vital points and went straight to Lu Cheng's shoulder.

When Lu Cheng saw his skill, his eyes lit up. He dodged at the critical moment, then quickly stretched out two fingers and caught the flying knife with incredible precision.

After feeling the force of the throwing knife, I discovered that its power at close range is no less than that of an ordinary pistol.

Li Ying was also shocked to see that Lu Cheng could easily catch his flying knife with two fingers. Although he had just held back and did not use his full strength, it was not so easy for him to be caught.

"Master Lu is indeed an extraordinary martial artist. No wonder he was able to frighten the Liao soldiers. Li Ying admires him."

"Master Li probably didn't use his full strength, right? Can you let me see Master Li's real flying knife skills?"

"Then I, Li, will show off my ugliness. Please be careful, Master Lu!"

Let’s talk. Li Ying reached for his waist again, then stepped forward and three flying knives flew out at the same time, forming a triangle shape and heading towards Lu Cheng.

Seeing three flying knives coming towards him, Lu Cheng used both hands to quickly dodge one of the flying knives, then intercepted a flying knife with each hand, nodded and praised: "It is indeed extraordinary."

Instead of being happy to receive Lu Cheng's praise, Li Ying felt a little disappointed: "I didn't expect that Master Lu could catch 3 of the 2 flying knives I threw out at the same time."

"Lu was just taking advantage of the situation and saw the direction of Master Li's power in advance..."

The reason why Lu Cheng asked Li Ying to use his full strength was to witness his true flying knife skills so that he could imitate and learn from them.

Just as the opponent attacked, Lu Cheng carefully observed the opponent's way of exerting force and the timing of attack, and had basically grasped the trick of flying knife.

To be honest, Lu Cheng also practiced throwing knives for a period of time, but because he had a gun on him, he rarely used throwing knives, and his skills were not as good as Li Ying.

However, after seeing Li Ying's attack method, Lu Cheng was able to learn it quickly, and combined with his own energy, he figured out a set of flying knife skills of his own...
