It was late at night when Hou Jian came out of the magistrate's office. Regardless of his fatigue, he walked to the inn where Xue Yong was staying.
Hou Jian is a Hongdu native. He is known as a first-hand tailor in the world. He can fly stitches and make extremely exquisite clothes. Rich families like to ask him to make some clothes. He also learned some skills with guns, sticks, and kicks. Because he was dark, thin, and agile, people in the world also called him a brachiosaurus.
Hou Jian had previously made clothes for Huang Wenbing when he was in the Wuwei Army. After Huang Wenbing was promoted to magistrate, he naturally had to buy more robes, so he recruited Hou Jian.
However, after Xue Yong crossed the Xunyang River with Chao Yong and others that day, he separated from Chao Yong and others and went to Wuwei Army to find Hou Jian.
Hou Jian was naturally very happy when his master came to look for him, so he left Xue Yong to sell guns and sticks in the Wuwei Army, so that he could learn some guns and sticks along the way.
After Huang Wenbing recruited Hou Jian to come to Jiangzhou, Xue Yong was also a man accustomed to the world. He couldn't stay alone in Wuweijun, so he came to Jiangzhou to make a living.
At this time, Xue Yong had also put away his guns, sticks and plasters and returned to the inn to rest. Seeing Hou Jian coming in a hurry, he hurriedly said: "Apprentice, why are you panicking?"
Hou Jian took a breath and said: "Something bad has happened. When I was working at the magistrate's office today, I heard them say that Dai Zong, the Shenxing Taibao, colluded with Liangshan strongmen to rescue Song Jiang. He didn't want to be seen through by Huang Wenbing, and now he was caught and imprisoned. Five From now on, I will kill them both at the street corner."
Hearing this, Xue Yong asked curiously: "The people from Liangshan are coming to attack Jiangzhou?"
Hou Jian shook his head and said: "Liangshan and Jiangzhou are separated by so many state capitals. How can it be possible to mobilize a large group of people? I heard that Liangshan forged a letter from Cai Jing in order to get Song Jiang out of the city. I think he wanted to start outside the city. ¡±
Xue Yong nodded and said: "Looking at it this way, I'm afraid not many people from Liangshan will come."
Hou Jian saw that Master Xue Yong didn't look anxious at all, so he couldn't help but said: "Didn't Song Jiang have friendship with Master before in Jieyang Town? He is also a well-known hero, so I have to save him at least one way."
Xue Yong shook his head and said: "It was the little overlord Chao Yong who gave me a piece of silver that day. Later it was Chao Yong and Ruan Xiaoqi who helped me fight Mu Hong. Song Jiang was carrying a wooden shackle at that time. I heard it before I got the name of Song Jiang and had a few conversations with him that day. Seeing his extraordinary words, I thought he was a real man. However, he turned out to be such a greedy person and did such shameful things. I was ashamed to be associated with him. "
Hou Jian was also disgusted by the scandal that Song Jiang had done that spread throughout Jiangzhou. He shook his head and said, "Even if I don't save Song Jiang, Master still has to return favors to the little overlord. The heroes of Liangshan are going to save people halfway, so they will definitely send people to the city to neutralize them." Dai Zong inquires about the news. Huang Wenbing is cunning and cunning. If the Liangshan hero goes to look for Dai Zong rashly, he may be caught by Huang Wenbing. "
Hearing this, Xue Yong frowned and said: "You can see that too, but I only recognize the Little Overlord Chao Yong and the Living Yama Ruan Xiaoqi. If other people come, I won't recognize them, but how can I remind them."
Hou Jian came over with enthusiasm just after hearing about Dai Zong's accident. Hearing this, he couldn't help but lose his mind.
He walked around on the ground with a frown for a while, then suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said: "Yes, if the Liangshan heroes want to rescue Song Jiang halfway, there must be a lot of people coming. They can only hide outside the city, and they cannot leave the hiding place." Jiangzhou is too close to avoid being discovered. I guess that most of them settled in Jieyang Town. One is only separated from Jiangzhou City by the Xunyang River, and the other is not blocked. Mu Hong also went to Liangshan Juyi. He was familiar with the topography of Jieyang Town. But it¡¯s familiar, and it¡¯s still possible to hide a hundred or eighty people.¡±
Xue Yong listened and nodded: "Then I will go to Jieyang Town to look for them for a few days. If I find them, I can repay Chao Yong's favor. If I can't find them, I can only blame Song Jiang and Dai Zong for their fate."
When Hou Jian saw what Xue Yong said, he knew that this was all they could do.
The next day, just after dawn, Xue Yong packed up his clothes, crossed the Xunyang River, and came to Jieyang Town.
Xue Yong came to Mu Hong Village and saw that Mu Hong Village was overgrown with weeds and densely covered with cobwebs. Apparently after Mu Hong and others left, the people in the town didn't know if they would come back, and they didn't dare to come and occupy his village. , so it was deserted.
Xue Yong walked around and saw no trace of anyone coming, so he had no choice but to return to the town, set up shop, and sell plasters with guns and sticks. If Mu Hong and others come back, they will naturally see him.
After Mu Hong and others left, no one in Jieyang town could stop others from dominating, so no one came to blackmail him.
Xue Yong then found an inn to stay in the town. He used guns and sticks to sell medicine in the town every morning, and returned to the inn to rest at night.
There are many rivers along the way from Liangshan Mountain, so Chao Yong and others did not ride horses. He also knew that Dai Zong was as fast as a galloping horse, so he didn't dare to delay much on the way, so he took all the small roads and hurried all night to Jiangzhou.
Although everyone is a martial arts practitioner, The body is strong, but after driving all the way, when we arrive at Jieyang Ridge, we are exhausted.
After looking at the land he saw, Chao Yong asked Mu Hong to find a secluded valley on Jieyang Ridge, and everyone hid in the valley to rest.
Mu Hong rested for a while, regained his breath, looked at the sun that was already heading west, and said: "Let's go to Jieyang Town first to see if there are any annoying people in our village. Then we can buy some food and wine along the way. When we came back, everyone was very hungry after traveling all day and had to stay up late at night before going down the mountain."
"That's fine, let's go and see how long your power can frighten everyone in Jieyang Town."
Chao Yong¡¯s plan is to hide in Mu Hongzhuangzi first, and then decide where to start after finding out the escort route. But the prerequisite is that Mu Hong's Zhuangzi has not been occupied by others, otherwise everyone will have no choice but to hide on Jieyang Ridge.
Hearing this, Mu Hong smiled and said, "I have made the rogues in the town docile. Within a year and a half, they will definitely not dare to occupy my village."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Okay, which brother wants to go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Kui immediately shouted: "Tieniu is already starving. I want to go with you, lest you start eating and drinking by yourself in the town and forget about us."
When Chao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "Then the three of us will go. Brother Wu Song, you guys have a rest here while we go and come back."
Wu Song, however, was running around for days and finally rested. Since there were people doing hard work, he didn't want to move. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then let Tieniu go with you. He is strong and can carry more food and wine back."
It was easy to get down to the ridge. The three of them trotted all the way down Jieyang ridge and arrived at Jieyang town.
When people in the town saw Mu Hong coming back, they stepped forward to say hello.
When the three of them walked to the center of the town, they saw many people gathered around looking at guns and clubs.
"Give way, give way"
Li Kui loves to be lively, he shouted and ran over.
The people in Jieyang town saw that Li Kui looked ferocious and had two big axes in his waist, so they hurriedly got out of the way.
Chao Yong looked through the space where people stepped aside, only to find that the man wielding the stick in the middle was Xue Yong, a big sick insect.
Xue Yong also saw Chao Yong and Mu Hong, he quickly put away his whistle stick, clasped his fists around and said: "I have something to do today, so I came here first. Thank you for your support."
