The man at the door smelled the aroma of wine wafting from the Juyi Hall and felt greedy.
In the past, the looted property from the village was still divided into two parts, but since the tiger hunter Li Zhong went up the mountain, it was divided into three parts. The two leaders each took one part, and the remaining few hundred men were divided into one part. Naturally, their pockets were getting more and more. The more shy.
¡°And after Li Zhong took the top spot, they went down the mountain less and less frequently. As long as there was food and drink in the village, they were not allowed to rob, so naturally they had no extra money to buy wine. Although the number of arrests by officers and soldiers was reduced as a result, the brothers' life was also difficult.
¡°In this mountain, only two leaders are left who can drink wine every day.
Zhou Tong, the little bully, drank a bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Brother, this life is much better than your life in the world of selling medicine."
Tiger hunter Li Zhong tore off a chicken leg and gnawed on it while saying: "Well, now that corrupt officials are in power, everyone's life is miserable. There are many people watching you play with guns and sticks, but there are fewer and fewer people who have money to reward you. No. My brother, when I was wandering around in the world, it was like eating a lot of wine and eating meat all day long."
Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Brother, are you satisfied now? In a few days, brother will go down the mountain and find a match for you. Having a big bowl of wine during the day and having a woman warming the kang at night is called happiness."
Li Zhong heard this and said sternly: "Brother, listen to me, it is better not to do such things. There are many people in the world who are better at martial arts than you and me. Taking away wives and daughters is the most hated by others. If you attract heroes who fight against injustice, I'm afraid You and I can¡¯t afford to walk around.¡±
Zhou Tong saw Li Zhong talking like this again and said impatiently: "Brother is just timid. When I forcibly married Taigong Liu's daughter of Taohua Village, you persuaded me like this. Now I have slept with her in my arms for almost a year. Isn¡¯t it okay? My brother has been in the world for a long time and his courage has been worn away. Don¡¯t worry about it. I will go down to arrange a marriage for you in a few days.¡±
Li Zhong wanted to persuade Zhou Tong, but he saw a minion running up to report: "There are a hundred and ten people at the foot of the mountain. The leader says he is the Little Overlord of Liangshan. He wants the two leaders to come down the mountain to meet."
Zhou Tong heard this and said with a smile: "Maybe this little overlord heard that my font size is the same as his, so he came to worship me. Brother, let's go down the mountain and meet this little overlord from Liangshan."
Hearing this, Li Zhong couldn't help but said in surprise: "Wait a minute, last year Liangshan robbed Dongping Mansion, and defeated the imperial army to encircle and suppress it, with great momentum. The little overlord is the only son of Chao Gai, how could he bring hundreds of people to our Peach Blossom Mountain."
Zhou Tong said, "Brother, don't worry. You'll know if you go down and ask. There are only a hundred people. We are taking three hundred people down the mountain. We are afraid that they will come to rob me of Peach Blossom Mountain."
But Li Zhong still felt something was wrong. He turned to the minion and said, "Look carefully? There are really only a hundred or ten of them?"
"It is true that there are only a hundred people. There are spies in our village for more than ten miles in Taohua Mountain. If there are other people, they will never be able to hide it from us."
Zhou Tong, however, was already a little impatient. He picked up the green sinking gun leaning against the wall and walked out, shouting: "Children, bring my war horse."
Li Zhong was afraid that Zhou Tong would make a mistake, so he had no choice but to pick up a gun and chase after him.
The two of them lit up the three hundred men in the stronghold. As soon as they rushed down the mountain, they saw about a hundred horse troops in black clothes and leather armor. The leaders were a heroic young man and a strong man with a leopard head and eyes.
Li Zhong saw the neat armor and horses of Liangshan soldiers and horses, which can be said to be better equipped than the Qingzhou Forbidden Army. He felt frightened and said with cupped fists: "I have admired the name of Liangshan Little Overlord for a long time. I wonder what your orders are when you come here?"
Chao Yong looked at the noisy gangsters in Taohua Mountain behind him and knew that they were a real group of grass bandits. He said in a deep voice: "I heard that people in Taohua Mountain were robbing homes and harming the people. There was also a Zhou Tong who took my name and forcibly married someone." Folk girl. Is this possible?¡±
Li Zhonggang was about to explain, but Zhou Tong was already impatient and said: "You and I are both grass bandits. If we don't rob our homes, how can we still plant crops for food? Impersonation is even more nonsense. You are only allowed to be called Little Overlord, and others can't." ?¡±
Since Chao Yong traveled across time, this was the first time he was insulted like this in person, and he was about to speak.
"The leopard-headed Lin Chong is coming."
Next to him, Lin Chong was furious, shouted loudly, and came to fetch Zhou Tong with his horse and gun drawn.
Zhou Tong, however, had never been out of Qingzhou and had never met many powerful opponents. He felt that his martial arts skills were first-rate and he did not show any weakness, so he came to fight Lin Chong.
After the fight was less than three rounds, Li Zhong saw that Zhou Tong was a little tired and hurriedly mounted his horse to help.
"ßí"
Seeing that Li Zhong was about to attack, Lin Chong shouted loudly, raised a spear, and stabbed Zhou Tong under his horse.
Although Li Zhong¡¯s martial arts skills were higher than Zhou Tong¡¯s, they were still limited. Seeing that Zhou Tong could not survive the fifth round under Lin Chong, he felt that he would die if he went up.He turned the horse's head, rushed away from the men, and fled up the mountain.
Seeing that Li Zhong was about to leave, Chao Yong led the crowd to cover up the killing and shouted: "Abandon your weapons and don't kill."
The momentum of the charge of a hundred horse troops suddenly frightened many of the Taohuashan minions and lost their fighting spirit. Seeing that they could not outrun the Liangshan soldiers and horses, they did not have to worry about Liangshan soldiers and horses arresting them like the officers and soldiers to claim the merit, so they all squatted down with their heads in their hands. .
Lin Chong also reacted quickly. Seeing that Li Zhong was about to run away, he jumped on his horse and chased after him.
Lin Chong's horse was carefully selected from the more than 3,000 captured war horses. Li Zhong's horse was just a bad horse that he usually grabbed. In just a few breaths, Lin Chong caught up with Li Zhong's horse and swiped it with his spear. Then he beat Li Zhong off his horse.
Li Zhong rolled on the ground, and just as he was about to struggle to get up, Lin Chong had already reined in his horse and stopped, pointing a spear at him.
Chao Yong rode up and said, "You are better than Zhou Tong. You are willing to go to Liangshan with us to do justice for heaven."
Li Zhong has been in the martial arts world for many years, but he is self-aware. He cupped his fists and said, "If the little overlord doesn't mind that Li Zhong's martial arts are low, he would be willing to lead his horse into a stirrup."
Chao Yong smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go up the mountain and talk in detail."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Peach Blossom Mountain is really dangerous. Only the road in front of the mountain, which is more than ten feet wide, is easier to walk.
Seeing Li Zhong surrender, the guards guarding the mountain also opened the gate of the village.
Li Zhong invited Chao Yong and two others into the Juyi Hall and quickly ordered his men to rearrange the food and drinks.
Chao Yong picked up a gold wine glass on the table and said with a smile: "You two have robbed a lot of people, right?"
Li Zhong couldn't figure out what Chao Yong was thinking, so he hurriedly said: "The little overlord knows clearly that after the little one goes up the mountain, he is afraid of provoking the Qingzhou army to arrest him. As long as the village has money and food, he will never go down the mountain to harass the people. These gold and silver wine vessels are accidental Proceeds from robbing a passing merchant."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "I also found out that you have a good reputation, so I spared your life. If you are like Zhou Tong, Coach Lin will not show mercy."
Hearing this, Li Zhong couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was usually cautious, and quickly thanked Chao Yong and Lin Chong.
Chao Yong looked at the golden cup in his hand, then threw it on the table, and asked: "Do you have any connection with Qingfeng Mountain?"
Hearing this, Li Zhong nodded and said: "The government and the army are powerful, and we have some contact on weekdays. Years ago, Jinmaohu Yanshun also sent us a letter, saying that it was timely rain in Yuncheng County. Song Gongming was in Qingfeng Mountain, and invited me to visit. I will take care of it. Hao Shanzhai, just as he was about to leave, another message came from Qingfeng Mountain, saying that Song Gongming had left, but did not tell him where he was going. "
When Chao Yong heard this, he nodded and said: "Song Jiang must have gone to Qingfeng Village. You can send a few elite men to Qingfeng Village to investigate. In addition, we should reorganize the soldiers and horses in the village, and pay some money to the old and weak to let them disperse." If you really have nowhere to go, you can go up to Liangshan with us.¡±
