When the soldiers and horses of Hujiazhuang saw that Hu Sanniang had been captured alive, they were immediately in a dilemma. They had to strictly maintain their formation and send someone back to the village to report the news.
Chao Yong naturally did not intend to attack the soldiers and horses of Hujiazhuang. As soon as he turned his horse's head, he saw another group of soldiers and horses coming from the east. The leader was a tall man, dressed in a crimson robe, with a divine white horse under his crotch, and a steel-pointing hand. The spear is none other than Li Ying, the Eagle Flying into the Sky.
On the left is an ugly person with an ugly face, none other than Duxing with a grimace, and on the right is Zhu Long, a fish that had slipped through the net before.
If Liu Tang looks like a ghost, then Du Xing is an ugly ghost. Although his face has no traces of injury, it is more terrifying than being injured. It can be said that he is naturally ugly to the extreme. At first glance, he looks a bit like a ghost. Feel.
After Li Ying received Zhujiazhuang¡¯s request for help, he did not dare to delay at all. He ordered his troops and horses to come to the rescue.
Unexpectedly, they met Zhu Long who was escaping in embarrassment halfway, and then they found out that Zhu Biao had died in the battle and Zhujiazhuang had also been captured.
Originally, Li Ying thought that it would not be difficult to recapture Zhujiazhuang if Liangshan soldiers and horses had not yet completely defeated the Zhujiazhuang soldiers.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived in front of the village, I heard the commotion in the village, but there seemed to be no resistance.
Dozens of cavalry troops in front of the village blocked the village gate, but they were Dongping Mansion soldiers and horses, and one of the young generals was holding a woman in his arms.
There were more than a dozen Hujiazhuang cavalry troops nearby, but Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang were nowhere to be seen.
??????? Du Xing, with a sharp face, recognized the red brocade lasso in Hu Sanniang¡¯s hand held by Chao Yong, and said: ¡°That person seems to have Hu Sanniang from Hujiazhuang in his arms, and Luan Tingyu, the teacher from Zhujiazhuang, is also in the bandit formation.¡±
Li Ying also saw Hu Sanniang¡¯s sun and moon swords hanging on the horse following Chao Yong, but it was Hu Sanniang¡¯s horse that turned around to look for its owner.
Chao Yong held Sanniang in his arms, turned around and said, "Is the person coming here Li Ying?"
Li Yingdao: "Exactly, I wonder who you are from Liangshan?"
"Chao Yong of Liangshan."
"It turns out to be the little overlord Chao Yong. I heard that Liangshan upholds justice for heaven and does not harm the people. I wonder how we can attack Zhujiazhuang today?"
"This Zhujiazhuang bullies the villagers, commits many evil deeds, and seeks wealth and murder in Zhujiazhuang's shop. He is the one whom I, Liangshan, want to do justice to. The owner of Zhujiazhuang came here with his troops. Could it be that he is colluding with Zhujiazhuang behind his back. "
Li Ying also knew some details about Zhujiazhuang. Hearing that Liangshan acted for heaven and stood on the peak of morality, he could only say: "I, Lijiazhuang, don't know about these activities in Zhujiazhuang. It's just that the three villages have a life and death covenant, but there is good and bad luck. They helped each other, so Li Yingcai came with his troops."
Although he is the upright person in Lijiazhuang, he has the responsibility to protect the place. However, Zhujiazhuang, which had strong soldiers and horses, was defeated in an instant, and Hu Sanniang of Hujiazhuang was also captured alive. He was the only one left among the three villages. He was already a mantis in Liangshan's enemy, so his confidence was already somewhat lacking.
It¡¯s just that Zhu Long is still on the side. If Liangshan¡¯s troops want to kill them all, if he stands by and watches and falls into the ears of the government, he will inevitably be suspected of having an affair with the grass bandits.
When Li Yingzheng was thinking about how to find an excuse to retreat, he heard Chao Yong say: "I have long heard that the owner of Zhujiazhuang is also a hero. It was only because he was deceived by Zhujiazhuang that he made an alliance. Now that I know Zhujiazhuang He has done many evil things, so he shouldn¡¯t protect this Zhu Long?¡±
Li Ying was originally thinking about how to save Zhu Long without conflicting with Liangshan soldiers and horses, and escape unscathed.
Hearing that Chao Yong actually wanted him to hand over Zhu Long, he suddenly felt confused: "Although Zhujiazhuang has done many evil things, I also have some friendship with Zhu Chaofeng. I guess this is the only flesh and blood left in the Zhu family. Can the little bully sell me a thin face?" , let him live."
Chao Yong looked at Li Ying who looked embarrassed and said with a smile: "Since Master Li has spoken, how dare Chao Yong not obey. It's just that Zhu Long has done many evil things, but he can't be let go. Otherwise, I heard that Zhu Long also has Although Yi Zi has been a playboy since he was a child, he is not guilty enough to die, so I will let him live. Zhu Long also asked Master Li to leave it to me."
Although the three villages have an alliance, Zhujiazhuang is the only one, and Li Ying often suffers losses.
Li Ying originally did not really want to preserve the Zhu family bloodline, but was afraid that if he handed over Zhu Long to the Liangshan soldiers, he would be reported in the future and cause a lawsuit.
At this time, hearing what Chao Yong said, he immediately became speechless.
When everyone was staring at Li Ying to see how he would reply, Zhu Long suddenly hit his horse and ran away.
It turns out that Zhu Long saw that Li Ying had lost his fighting spirit and was afraid that he would be handed over. Seeing that everyone was unprepared, he ignored Zhujiazhuang and planned to escape with his life first.
"Where to go."
Dong Ping was worried that he had not yet made any achievements after joining the gang. When he saw Zhu Long suddenly running away, he roared and chased after him.
Dong Ping¡¯s mount was a war horse snatched from a Liao general when he was guarding the border in Hebei Province.Although it was not the best war horse in the Liao Kingdom, it was one of the best in the Song Kingdom.
Before Zhu Long could escape from everyone's sight, he was caught up by Dong Ping. After a few rounds of fighting, Dong Ping raised his gun and knocked him off his horse.
Li Ying just reacted from Zhu Long's flight and saw Zhu Long died unexpectedly. While sighing, he was also secretly glad that now he no longer had to choose whether to hand over Zhu Long.
"I just didn't expect Dong Ping's martial arts to be so strong. Zhu Long, who was slightly inferior to him, had no power to resist. I only hope that Liangshan's soldiers and horses are doing justice for heaven as they said, otherwise Lijiazhuang may also be doomed."
But they didn¡¯t know that Dong Ping¡¯s marksmanship was so fierce, and Zhu Long was in shock, so he was quickly picked off the horse.
If Zhu Long can fight calmly, it will take dozens of rounds for Dong Ping to defeat him.
"Hey, now that the matter is over, Li Ying will take his leave."
Chao Yong looked at Li Ying who was saying goodbye and suddenly smiled and said: "I have always heard that Master Li is very skilled in martial arts. Chao Yong dared to ask Master Li to go up the mountain with me and become a leader. How about that?"
Li Ying also thought that Chao Yong might make things difficult, but he never expected that Chao Yong would actually ask him to give up such a big business and go up the mountain to weed, and his face suddenly became earthy.
"Liangshan is all about head-turning business. Once you join the gang, it will be extremely difficult to get out. If he refuses, I'm afraid that a fight will be right in front of me, and I'm afraid that my village will be no match for Liangshan's soldiers and horses.
Seeing that Li Ying was in a dilemma, Luan Tingyu, who had just joined the gang, also stepped forward and said: "Master Li, don't think too much, it's just the little overlord who let you go. Today, Master Li, being Li Zheng, led his troops to fight with Liangshan's soldiers and horses. They met, but they couldn't fight. I'm afraid if the news reaches the government, they will inevitably be involved. Liangshan has just captured Dongping Mansion. If there are not a few scapegoats for this major case, I am afraid that the new official will not be able to explain it to the court. Can one go to court alone?"
"Nowadays, the world is full of corrupt officials, and there are many businesses in Liyingzhuang. It is rare to deal with the government, so naturally you know their ability to knock bones and suck out marrow."
On weekdays, you have to extort money for nothing, but if you are not clear-minded, your family may be ruined, and there is no place to reason.
What's more, a few days ago, Liangshan soldiers and horses broke into Dongping Mansion and plundered the treasury. It can be said to be a huge case. Liangshan Shuibo is so vast that it may not be possible to capture them in a year and a half. New officials must first cut down a few people when they take office. There is some explanation in my head.
What is unlucky is that the Liangshan soldiers and horses actually came to attack Zhujiazhuang. I impulsively came into contact with the Liangshan soldiers and horses. I am afraid that I will most likely become the scapegoat.
Chao Yong saw that Li Ying was deep in thought and was silent. He really couldn't do what Song Jiang did to force him to go up the mountain. He could only place his hope in the power of the current imperial court. He smiled and said: "If Master Li has not thought about it, he might as well go back to the village." After careful consideration, the owner of the village replied to me in the evening by saying goodbye."
After saying that, he turned his horse and headed towards Zhujiazhuang.
Li Ying looked at Chao Yong's figure in confusion, clasped his fists and shouted: "Thank you, little overlord. This matter concerns the whole village, and I cannot tolerate being careless. Li Ying will definitely reply as soon as possible."
When Du Xing saw the Liangshan troops walking away, he said, "Guardian, what do these Liangshan troops mean? If they want to attack my Lijiazhuang, now is the best opportunity. If we go back to defend the village, they will die if they want to attack me." More troops."
Li Ying shook his head and said: "I heard earlier that King Tuota was generous with his wealth and was an upright and upright man. Maybe they were really just doing justice for heaven."
Leaving Li Ying full of doubts, Chao Yong did not care about the soldiers and horses of Hujiazhuang on the side, and led the horse army directly into Zhujiazhuang.
