Everyone followed Lu Zhishen up the mountain and saw that the Erlong Mountain was steep. Only a five-six-foot-wide path was opened in the front, but the rest of the mountain was difficult to climb.
It can be said that one man can guard the gate, but ten thousand men cannot open it.
Walking halfway up the mountain, you will see a checkpoint surrounded by wooden fences. Behind the gate are wooden cannon stones and a dense row of bamboo spears. However, there is no one guarding the gate.
Chao Yong looked at it and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother, why are the guards at Erlong Mountain so lax?"
Lu Zhishen smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, brother Yong, after the Sa family heard that Liangshan was doing justice for heaven, they also imitated Liangshan and killed some corrupt officials and evil gentry nearby. Unexpectedly, they attracted the officers and soldiers of the Huazhou Brigade to encircle and suppress them. They fought several battles and lost a lot of money. There were more than 200 people. Seeing the tight situation, more than 100 people moved elsewhere, and the Sa family couldn't stop them. Now there are less than 100 people on Erlong Mountain, except for some people who are holding banquets on the mountain. The Sa family took them down to greet everyone."
Chao Yong heard that the situation in Erlongshan was now like this, and he became more confident in persuading Yang Zhi to join the gang.
After passing the checkpoint, we arrived in front of the Baozhu Temple. We saw that the temple was surrounded by wooden fences, and there was only an open space in front of the main hall.
The originally solemn and tidy temple has become a bit dilapidated because all the monks have returned to secular life.
Lu Zhishen led everyone through the open space in front of the hall and entered the main hall.
I saw that all the Buddha statues in the hall had been carried away, and there were two chairs at the end, which were obviously the positions of Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi.
At this time, there is a person sitting on the chair on the right, closing his eyes and relaxing.
A table has been set up in the middle, with a lot of food and wine on it.
Lu Zhishen saw Yang Zhi sitting there and hurriedly shouted: "The heroes of Liangshan have arrived. Brother Yang Zhi, come and see him soon."
Yang Zhi had already heard the footsteps of everyone, but he just pretended not to know and didn't want to get up. Hearing Lu Zhishen's call, he opened his eyes and stood up, walked up to them, clasped his fists at everyone and said, "Yang Zhi has met you all."
When Chao Yong looked at it, he saw that Yang Zhisheng was 7 feet 56 tall and had a green mark on his face, which was similar to Liu Tang's cinnabar mark. At first glance, it looked a bit scary.
Chao Yong also knew that Chao Gai and others had ruined his future, so it was inevitable that he had some grudges in his heart, and he was not angry at Yang Zhi's indifference.
And fearing that something might happen to Wu Song and others, he immediately introduced everyone to Yang Zhi one by one.
Although Wu Song and others were somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Zhi's attitude, after seeing Chao Yong's personal introduction, they could only greet Yang Zhi one by one with clasped fists, but their expressions were naturally not very good.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Lu Zhishen said: "The village is simple, so don't blame us for being negligent. Brother Yong, please take a seat."
Chao Yong said hurriedly: "I can't help it. My brother should take the main seat, and I'll take the guest seat."
Lu Zhishen wanted to refuse, but when he saw that Yang Zhi had already walked to the main seat and sat down, he could only smile and said, "The Sa family is big."
When everyone sat down, Lu Zhishen picked up the wine bowl and said, "The Sa family will give you a bowl first."
Chao Yong and others also raised their wine bowls and drank them all in one gulp.
Lu Zhishen put down the wine bowl, looked at the few plates on the table, and said awkwardly: "There are not many delicacies on the mountain, and some of the game has been devoured by Deng Long. The Sa family didn't even eat it when they went to Erlong Mountain. The situation has been tight recently, so I didn¡¯t take the children down the mountain to play, so it was a bit shabby, which made all the heroes laugh. "
While they were talking, Erlongshan, who was waiting on the side, watched everyone finish their drinks, and then he diligently filled them up for everyone.
Chao Yong picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Just eat whatever you want. This wine is the only thing you have to eat to your heart's content. Come on, I'll give you two brothers a bowl."
Lu Zhishen was overjoyed to see Chao Yong being so generous. He picked up the wine bowl and said, "Brother Yong, don't worry. Lu Zhishen also loves wine most. There is nothing else in Erlong Mountain, but the wine is enough for everyone to drink happily."
Yang Zhi saw that Chao Yong had already brought his wine bowl to him, so he picked up the bowl with an expressionless expression and drank it all in one gulp without speaking to Chao Yong.
Seeing Yang Zhi being so rude, Wu Song raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry.
Chao Yong hurriedly touched Wu Song under the table and said with a smile: "I didn't expect there to be such good wine in Erlong Mountain. We won't go home until we are drunk today."
Seeing that Chao Yong was so interested, Lu Zhishen also encouraged him to drink.
After eating for a while, Lu Zhishen was already blushing, but Chao Yong remained calm.
Lu Zhishen saw that he had almost eaten, so he said to Yang Zhi, "Brother Yong is here to invite us to join Liangshan. Brother Lin Chong also wrote a letter inviting you and me to go. What do you think, brother?"
Chao Yong also clasped his fists and said: "I have heard that brother Yang Zhi is very skilled in martial arts. Chao Yong respectfully invites brother to join us for a reunion."
Yang Zhi ignored Chao Yong, turned to Lu Zhishen and said, "I saidWhen passing by Liangshan, there was also a fight with the Lin Chong brothers. When he invited me to go, I shouldn't have said no. It's just that Chao Gai and others robbed me of my birthday, making it difficult for me to join the country and escape my family. This hatred is hard to get rid of, and if I are asked to listen to Chao Gai's orders again, it will be impossible to agree to this matter. "
Hearing this, Chao Yong cupped his fists and said, "My father didn't mean to harm my brother when he took the birthday card. It's just that the birthday card was stolen by Liang Zhongshu and was shipped to Tokyo just for Cai Jing, the traitor, to squander. That's why he and everyone else robbed the birthday card." "My father and I didn't take any of that gold and silver. We used it to recruit troops and fight against the enemy's officers and soldiers, and to do justice to heaven. It's better to take it from the people and use it for the people than let that thief Cai Jing squander it."
Seeing what Chao Yong said, Yang Zhi's expression softened slightly, but he remained silent.
When Chao Yong saw this, he stood up and said: "If my brother still blames my father, Chao Yong will be here to kowtow to my brother on behalf of everyone on Huangni Gang and apologize."
As he said that, he was about to bow down.
Hearing this, Yang Zhi was about to take action.
Wu Song saw that Chao Yong was already talking so softly, but Yang Zhi didn't understand. He couldn't help it anymore, grabbed Chao Yong, glared at Yang Zhi, and shouted: "You are so rude." , Brother Yong has already told you the reason. You still want to show off, you are worthy of my brother's respect. "
Jianghu men like to talk with their fists, just like the little overlord Zhou Tong couldn't defeat the tiger general Li Zhong, so he made Li Zhong the leader of the village. When Lin Chong first went up the mountain, Wang Lun was unwilling to take him in because his martial arts skills were not as good as Lin Chong's and he was afraid that he would lose his position as leader of the village in the future.
When Yang Zhi heard that Wu Song doubted his martial arts, he couldn't help but stood up and said, "You can tell me what my skills are by asking the simple sword in my hand."
When Wu Song saw Yang Zhi acting recklessly, he pulled out his sword and walked out, saying, "If you are a hero, just follow me out."
Not to be outdone, Yang Zhi grabbed a simple knife from the hand of the gangster next to him and chased him outside.
"You two brothers, please don't do anything, so as not to hurt the harmony."
Lu Zhishen saw that the two were about to fight, so he quickly got up and chased after them.
Although Chao Yong wanted to kneel down to plead guilty just now, he was still a little angry in his heart because Yang Zhi was ignorant. After all, in his opinion, Yang Zhi had always been acting as a minion of the imperial court, escorting the Hua Shi Gang and the Birthday Gang. It could be said that these were not the actions of a good man.
"It's just that he cherishes the fact that Yang Zhi is a descendant of the Yang family generals and a Liangshan hero in the Water Margin, so he wants to compromise and explain it to him, but he doesn't know that Yang Zhi is a bit incompetent. If it were someone else, he would have turned away and walked away. Such a martial artist is not worthy of his surrender.
Seeing Wu Song's attack, Chao Yong also wanted to destroy Yang Zhi's prestige and let him know that there were many heroes in Liangshan who were not weaker than him, so he should not push too far.
But he was afraid that Wu Song would suffer a back injury, so he chased him and winked at Mu Hong.
Mu Hong thought for a while and understood what Chao Yong was thinking. If he wanted to dissuade the two of them from taking action, Chao Yong could do it himself without having to ask him to come forward.
At that moment, he pretended to be angry and walked to Wu Song's side. He held up his sword and said: "This guy previously carried the Flower and Stone Guide for the gang of traitors in the imperial court, and then carried the Birthday Guide. He was just acting as a slave to the tiger and aiding the evil. King Chao Tian let him get rid of his official position. The clothes are just to prevent him from bringing shame to his ancestors. This guy is ungrateful and instead holds a grudge. Brother Wu Song, if you have an injury on your back, let me come and see this guy."
Wu Song listened and said with a smile: "A few minor injuries are nothing to worry about. I have long heard that Yang Laolinggong had a golden sword back then, and it was rare to have an opponent in the world. Today I am about to meet his unworthy descendant."
"I'm angry, so look at the knife."
When Yang Zhi heard that the two were hurting each other, he was furious and came to fight with the two of them with a sword.
Wu Song, however, had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and immediately danced his swords to meet him.
Seeing that the two of them were already fighting, Mu Hong was unwilling to win with more, so he had to step aside.
Wu Song has nimble steps and natural strength. When he goes up, he rushes to attack.
After Yang Zhi blocked it for more than ten times, he felt the tiger's mouth hurt and his arms became weak. He did not dare to fight Wu Song anymore, and tried his best to force Wu Song away. at.
Although there is no hard cover, it is a bit more dangerous. If you fail to dodge, you may be killed on the spot.
When the fight lasted for more than fifty years, Wu Song swung his swords with both swords. Yang Zhi was unable to dodge, so he could only use his simple sword to catch Wu Song's sword.
"Ding"
The two knives intersected, causing a few sparks to fly.
Yang Zhi was no match for Wu Song's magical power and stepped back.
Chao Yong saw that Yang Zhi was at a disadvantage. He was afraid that if the fight continued and someone would be injured, he hurriedly shouted: "You two are equally skilled in martial arts. If you continue to fight, I'm afraid that your friendship will be damaged. Brother Wu Song, please stop."
Wu Song was about to take advantage of the situation to pursue him, but when he heard Chao Yong shouting to stop, he had no choice but to put away his sword.Live.
Yang Zhi secretly called it a fluke. The Yang family's martial arts skills were so good that they immediately suffered a loss in a foot fight. Unexpectedly, the tiger-fighting and martial-song fighting skills were well-deserved. If they continued to fight, they would lose.
Lu Zhishen saw the two of them stop and hurriedly got between them and said: "We are all heroes who are upholding justice for heaven. If someone is injured, it will spread to the world and make people laugh."
Chao Yong also smiled and said: "We don't know each other without fighting. Don't Coach Lin and Brother Yang Zhi cherish each other after a fight?"
As he said that, he cupped his fists and said to Yang Zhidao: "Brother Wu Song is a bit impatient, and you will be punished if you offend him."
When Lu Zhishen was worried that Yang Zhi still couldn't get over it, Yang Zhi clasped his fists and smiled and said, "I'm sorry to say that King Chao Tian was so obsessed with us that day that he could have taken the opportunity to take my life, but he showed mercy. Yang Zhi also remembered the kindness of King Chao, but There was inevitably some resentment in my heart, but after the fight with the Wu Song brothers, the resentment in my heart disappeared. So I went to Liangshan with everyone." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature.
