Chapter 195: Making a big fuss in Jiangzhou and robbing the law field
After curing Song Jiang's injuries and giving Li Kui a bath, Zhou Tian arranged for him to rest, although Li Kui was muddy, but he didn't delay much when he didn't eat and drink, so Song Jiang didn't ask much about Zhou Tian, and handed it all over to Li Kui to take care of.
At noon the next day, Dai Zong had already returned from delivering the letter, holding meat in his hand, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"Brother's injuries are healed?" Dai Zong was slightly surprised when he saw that the wound on Song Jiang's buttocks had healed.
Song Jiang nodded, but his face was a lot of sadness, "It's the credit of Brother Zhou Tian, his family medical skills can be described as magical, and he has been cured after applying medicine once yesterday." β
Dai Zong saw that Song Jiang was not in high spirits, and he was not happy at all when his injury healed so quickly, so he knew that the other party was still worried about his life, so he attached it to Song Jiang's ear and told Song Jiang that he had connected with the heroes of Liangshan.
Zhou Tian is not his own person in Dai Zong's eyes, and Li Kui is a nonsense person, so he didn't tell the two of them about this in detail.
Song Jiang, who got the good news, was naturally overjoyed, the haze on his face swept away and slapped him, picked up the Huadiao wine he bought before Zhou Tian and poured a few sips, the posture was even more proud than Li Kui, and for the rest of his life, the temperament of the bandit leader was gradually revealed.
Song Jiang, this kid, had a bad appetite yesterday and today because he had a deadly axe hanging on his head, but now after hearing the good news of Dai Zong, he felt hungry in his belly, and after drinking half an altar of Huadiao wine, he asked Li Kui to spread wine and food on the table, and sacrifice his five internal organs temple.
A few people saw that Song Jiang was in a good mood, so they naturally had to accompany Song Jiang to eat a few glasses of wine, and after drinking for a while, someone came to look for Dai Zong in this yamen, and Dai Zong saw that it was the prefect who was looking for him, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly followed.
Dai Zong left, and he didn't delay Song Jiang to drink and eat meat, he didn't finish eating for more than a day, and Song Jiang's meal was about to catch up with Li Kui, like a refugee from Somalia...... However, half an hour later, Song Jiang's kid couldn't eat, not because he was full, but because Dean Dai came back, and he was dragged back.
"Brother Xian, what's wrong with you?" Song Jiang was startled when he saw Dai Zong's appearance, swallowed half of the chicken leg stuffed in his mouth with a bone, smashed his chest hard, and then threw himself in front of Dai Zong and wept.
At this moment, Dai Zong's breath is dying, and it is a little more miserable than yesterday's appearance of Song Jiang, and the injuries on his body are naturally more serious, obviously he has been tortured, listening to Song Jiang's questioning, Dai Zong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, the matter is defeated, and we will be beheaded tomorrow, and the two of us are afraid that we will really go to Huangquan hand in hand this time." "This Dai Zong is also free and easy, and he looks at life and death very lightly.
After listening to Dai Zong's words, his face turned green all of a sudden, and he sat on the ground dejectedly, and cried loudly.
"Brother, don't cry, I'm here with Li Kui, see who dares to hurt the two brothers." Li Kui saw that Song Jiang was crying out of breath, so he took Song Jiang in his arms and comforted him with the mentality of a wet nurse and a nanny, and his expression was ...... Of course, Zhou Tian would not do these useless things like Li Kui, but hurried back to his room to write more than a dozen healing talismans for Dai Zongβthe whole body was covered with wounds, and the spirit runes as big as the quilt were no longer enough.
"Dean, this is my family heirloom plaster, it has a miraculous effect on healing, I'll put it on you first." Zhou Tian lifted Dai Zong's clothes, and sure enough, there was no good piece of meat on his body, and if such an injury was not treated in time, I am afraid that it would kill Dai Zong.
As soon as a dozen spirit runes were pasted, the wounds on Dai Zong's body really healed quickly, and in less than a moment, Dai Zong's injuries had healed.
Such a rapid recovery surprised Dai Zong a lot, but the person who was about to die had lost interest in all kinds of things, so he didn't ask Zhou Tian anything.
Song Jiang and Dai Zong are both death row prisoners, and it stands to reason that such prisoners should be chained, but the jailers in this prison are all acquaintances of Dai Zong, so there is no such trouble.
At noon on the next day, it was the day of the execution, so that night, the jailers gave Dai Zong and Song Jiang a severed head meal and a send-off wine, but at this time, Li Kui and Zhou Tian were already gone, it turned out that these two went to prepare for the robbery of the law field-
It is also a rare sight to cut off people's heads on the street, regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, so such a spectacle is naturally liked by the small citizen class after the development of the productive forces, so as soon as the list is posted on the city gate, it is surrounded by people.
"It seems that Brother Wu Yong is really accurate." Among the onlookers, there was a beggar with a toad face, and he whispered to the beggar next to him.
"Who is Brother Wu Yong, of course it has been calculated, and the execution will start in a few hours, so we have to be ready." The pheasant-looking man next to the toad's face nodded.
"Well, this time it's a tricky matter, so we have to be careful." Another man who looked more like a field chicken also said, "Okay, go and prepare, don't delay things." β
After this person finished speaking, he took the remaining two people and disappeared into the crowd, and at the same time, sneaky people dressed differently also appeared everywhere in Jiangzhou City, and most of them were crooked, and of course, there were also offspring with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Iron Bull, eat well, you can be strong in a while." On top of a teahouse, Zhou Tian and Li Kui were sitting opposite each other for dinner.
"Well, now I say brother, look at my two axes." Li Kui said while stuffing beef into his mouth while staring at the vegetable market downstairs.
"When you act for a while, don't do too much murder, just knock people unconscious." Zhou Tian drank the tea in his hand and admonished. Li Kui, this kid is a rectal person, he can take out his heart when he is good, but he is also a killing star, and when his temper comes up, he is definitely a murderer. Regardless of whether he is innocent, as long as he stands in front of him, he will definitely be hacked to death with an axe, it stands to reason that this little thing is nothing to the bandits, but Zhou Tian is unwilling to let him be a killing machine.
"I don't care about that, as long as I can save Brother Song Jiang." As soon as Li Kui spoke, he found that Zhou Tianzheng was glaring at him, so he couldn't help but change his words, "Chengcheng, I listen to my brother, and if I can kill less, I will kill less." β
In this way, the remaining hours were quiet, whether it was the big-mouthed Li Kui, or the extra beggars and porters on the street, they were quietly waiting for the time of execution.
At noon, Song Jiang and Dai Zong, escorted by a group of jailers, slowly walked to the entrance of the vegetable market with shackles.
After a night of mental preparation, Dai Zong and Song Jiang's faces were very calm, Dai Zong has always been not afraid of life and death - this stems from his experience of being a civil servant and careless of human life. And Song Jiang's calmness is because he cried all his tears last night, and he lost the strength to cry, so he left a calm and calm face, but Song Jiang's expression looked at the bandits hidden around him, that is, he was not shocked, he was not afraid of life and death, and he admired Song Jiang's state of mind.
At this time, the entrance of the vegetable market was already full, and everyone didn't want to miss this head-killing show, so the whole scene was like the premiere of "Jade Futon", which was crowded with people.
"Take death row prisoner Song Jiang Daizong." On the main seat of the prefect's court surnamed Cai, after whispering to the depressed person beside him, the official shouted loudly.
"Song Jiang Daizong brought." With the shouts of the leading jailer, Song Jiang and Dai Zong were pressed into the execution ground, kicked in the leg by the jailer, and knelt down with their heads bowed.
Song Jiang and Dai Zong both had a guilty card on their backs, and from a distance, they were dressed like Yan Chixia.
"A mortal in Jiangzhou Mansion is a Song Jiang, so he recited anti-poems, fabricated fallacies, and connected Liangshan Qiangkou, rebelled together, and was beheaded. The prisoner, Dai Zong, secretly handed over private letters to Song Jiang, colluded with Liangshan Qiangkou, conspired to rebel, and was beheaded. The supervisor of Jiangzhou prefect Cai. The chief beheader took off the guilty cards on the backs of the two people, and after reading the charges of the two aloud, he waited for Cai Jiu to order the death row prisoner to be beheaded.
However, just as the Cai Governor was about to give the order, a white feather long arrow "swished" into the eye socket of the main beheader.
After the main beheader fell, there were a few more light sounds of arrow feathers, and I saw a few long black arrows shot towards Cai Zhifu.
In the face of the flying arrows, Governor Cai was naturally shocked, and it didn't matter if he was shocked, the officials of the entire execution ground panicked, and at this moment, more than a dozen people rushed up among the onlookers on the guillotine.
Among these people are Jianghu artists and beggars, but the common feature is that they all have a bandit smell on them, and they will kill people as soon as they come up, so after these people appeared, the scene became more chaotic.
"Let's go, go help." At this time, Zhou Tian and Li Kui also jumped down from the teahouse and rushed towards the guillotine.
Zhou Tian naturally knew what the origin of these people who came to save Song Jiang was Zhou Tian, and Zhou Tian also saw Wu Song from these people, Wu Song was still dressed in cloth at this moment, and he took a Pu knife in his hand and went in and out of the officers and soldiers like a killing god, and he was majestic.
Zhou Tianzheng looked at Wu Song carefully, and suddenly felt a burst of heat on his face, but when he was about to touch it with his hand, it was a pool of blood. It turned out that Li Kui, who was beside him, actually split an officer and soldier in front of him in half with an axe.
"Iron Bull, the axe is smashed on the back, and there are fewer casualties." Zhou Tian saw Li Kui's murderous appearance of entering the mortal world, and couldn't help but scold.
However, Li Kui let the blood stain his eyes red at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to Zhou Tian's words at all, still holding two axes and killing lifelessly, as if killing a star to descend to earth.
Seeing Li Kui's appearance, Zhou Tian sighed lightly, and under the use of the dragon descending stick in his hand, he opened the way for Li Kui and knocked the other party unconscious before Li Kui cut people with an axe.
The bandits on this Liangshan Mountain are all famous and surnamed characters in the rivers and lakes, so there is no need to say much about this means, and the minions led by them are not idle people, so as soon as these people enter the ranks of the officers and soldiers, they are like tigers entering the flock, and in less than a moment, the officers and soldiers in front of Song Jiang and Dai Zong have been killed, and this matter Zhou Tian and Li Kui have rushed to a place not far from Song Jiang and the two.
"The hero on the other side is Brother Zhou Tian!" Zhou Tian waved the dragon stick in his hand, and it was naturally one stick to deal with those officers and soldiers, and this kind of performance naturally attracted the attention of Chao Gai, the leader of the bandits in Liangshan, and Chao Gai saw that Zhou Tian was so powerful, so he asked in a loud voice.
"I don't know who your Excellency is." Zhou Tian naturally recognized that the person who shouted was Na Chao Gai, but with Zhou Tian's current identity, he couldn't recognize the other party, so he had to ask.
"My brother is the Chao Heavenly King of Liangshan." Chao Gai didn't say anything, and Ruan Xiaoqi beside him shouted loudly.
"It turned out to be King Chao, it's not appropriate to talk here, let's go out of the city first." Zhou Tian took Li Kui to Chao Gai and said with a bow of his hand.
"What the brother said is" Chao Gai also arched his hand and yelled at the heroes around him, "I have saved Gongming and Dai Zong, brothers, everyone retreat quickly." β
Who said that bandits are unorganized and undisciplined groups, looking at the prestige of others, under this order, those heroes who are energetic to kill will stop their murderous work without saying a word, and fade out of the city like a tide.
Compared with the gang of bandits under Chao Gai, Li Kuike in front of him is not as obedient as others, he promised just now that he was very good, and he forgot everything when he started killing people.
Cai Zhifu, who had long been frightened, saw the bandits retreating, but he had forgotten to give the order, and the officers and soldiers under his command were also frightened, and they forgot to chase after them, just watched the bandits leave calmly.
Everyone left Jiangzhou City and walked along the river for five or six miles, but they came to a desperate situation, the Xunyang River was in front of them, and the bandits had no boats, so they had to secretly complain.
There is a small temple not far from here, and after some discussion, everyone decided to go to the temple for a while before making plans.
The bandits were running towards the small temple, but they heard Ruan Xiaoqi shouting, "Brothers, look, there seems to be a boat on the opposite side, not far away, take our three brothers to grab and cross the river." β
Before the three of them could undress and go down the river, they heard the person wearing it on the other side shouting, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" β
After the man finished shouting, Song Jiang listened to the familiarity, looked at the people in Raqqa, and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Zhang Shun, it's my brother, please save me." β
"It's Brother Song Jiang." The shouting could only hear Song Jiang's voice of joy, and he quickened the boat, and in a few moments, the person who was on the boat came ashore.
A few people reminisced about the old days, and they understood what they had said in detail. However, when he was talking, he saw a small minion come to report, saying that the army in Jiangzhou City had chased after him.
There were 7,000 garrisons in Jiangzhou City, and there were not too many guards at the execution ground at that time.
This group of bandits are all unfathomable, and when they heard that the army was coming, they planned to kill for a while, fight hard with the Jiangzhou garrison, and return to the horse gun.
Zhou Tian wanted to stop it, but he and Chao Gai didn't know each other very well, and his words probably wouldn't have any effect, so Zhou Tian chose to shut up, of course, Zhou Tian wouldn't get involved in fighting hard with the Jiangzhou garrison.
Not long after Zhou Tian and the others arrived at Mu Taigong Village, Li Kui and others, who were very comfortable slashing people, also came back, and after everyone sat down, Song Jiang thanked them one by one.
Song Jiang thanked him so much, and he really thanked the heroes for saving their lives, and this was another reason that he wanted to fool everyone to help kill the Wuwei Army who picked out words for himself and said that he wrote anti-poems sentenced Huang Wenbing.
Although the bandits were thirsty for killing, they also felt that they had killed enough people today, so they wanted to take a break and return to Liangshan to make plans. However, Song Jiang, who suffered a big crime and even ate a lot of dung, obviously didn't want to finish like this, and under his flickering and pleading, the bandits with the surname of the straight man planned to help get rid of Huang Bingwen in one go. So, the bandits who had just finished killing people discussed the killing of Huang Wenbing before they could rest their breath.
Zhou Tian was naturally not interested in these things, but focused his attention on Wu Song, and wanted to inquire about Pan Jinlian from Wu Song.
Since crossing into the world of "Water Margin" again, Pan Jinlian's figure has kept appearing in Zhou Tian's mind, making Zhou Tian unable to calm down even if he is cultivating. Originally, Zhou Tian thought that he had forgotten Pan Jinlian, but he didn't expect that the more he forgot, the more he couldn't forget it-this is the same reason as thinking about it.
"This brother's surname." Zhou Tian moved to Wu Song and asked very casually.
"Under the surname Wu, called Wu Song." That Wu Song is obviously more murderous, and he is discussing with everyone how to kill Huang Bingwen at the moment, but he doesn't want someone to talk to him at this time, so he doesn't look back.
"Ah, my brother is the strong man Wu Song who killed the tiger on Jingyang Gang, I have been looking up for a long time." Zhou Angel patted his ass and said.
"Well, I don't know what Your Excellency is ......" Wu Song was admired for a long time, and he was also happy in his heart, so he casually asked Zhou Tian's name.
"I know Yuncheng, Shandong, and I don't have a good name, just because I am used to using a spear, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him Zhao Yun." Zhou Tian also gave himself a nickname, he practiced a hundred birds and a phoenix, then call it Sai Zhaoyun, I don't know if Zhao Yun's stinky boy minds...... "Sai Zhaoyun ......" Wu Song was obviously attracted by Zhou Tian's name, turned his head to look at Zhou Tian, a sneer appeared on his lips, and said disdainfully, "Since it is called Sai Zhaoyun, then it must be good marksmanship, let's have a good fight." β
"That's for the best." Zhou Tian smiled and asked again, "Brother I don't know when I went to Liangshan, I followed the robbery back to the Dharma field this time, I'm afraid that Jiangzhou will not be able to gain a foothold, and I must be going to this Liangshan to join the gang, I don't know if my brother can tell me something about Liangshan." β
"I'm also a newcomer." Wu Song said, "But the things on this Liangshan can also be talked about, all the brothers on this Liangshan are a family, as long as they have the ability, they can be a leader, but if they don't have the ability, I'm afraid they won't be treated too well by the King of Chao." Wu Song saw that Zhou Tian looked flattering, and he didn't see Zhou Tian when he returned to Jiangzhou City today, so he decided that Zhou Tian was just a character who just played tricks, so he reminded Zhou Tian first.
Zhou Tian naturally heard what Wu Song meant, and secretly asked if this Wu Song didn't see his heroic posture of knocking down a soldier with a stick today. So Zhou Tian didn't pick up this stubble, and pulled to other things.
