But he said that Wang Shuirong of Beijing County finally figured it out after thinking about it for many days, called Zhong Heng, and promised to let him go to Luzhou. Zhong Heng was very happy and grateful, and bowed down again and again. Shui Rong changed his words and said with a smile: "You are not too young, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

Zhong Heng blushed and said, "Uncle is in charge of this matter. ”

Shui Rong thought for a while and said, "Even if you hold a military position in Luzhou, you can't do it without manpower." You take a few brothers with you. ”

Zhong Heng was overjoyed: "Lord Wang, is this true?" ”

Shui Rong sighed: "You have been doing things for Xiao Wang for many years, but Xiao Wang never thought about your life's events, whether it was Xiao Wang's." If any of your brothers have the same peace of mind as you, let them follow you. ”

Zhong Heng hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and said: "If the prince has the heart to send troops overseas, it is better to go to Jiaozhi, Siam and other Nanyang countries, and the prince has a naval army." Now that all the kings want to go to Dongying to get a handful, why rob them of it? ”

Shui Rongqi said: "Why do they all go to Dongying?" It's not that King Chen, King Wu, and Huo Sheng have all fished out, how much can be left? Why don't they go to Goryeo? ”

Zhong Heng said: "A story of a Japanese invader who has disturbed my territory and killed my people for hundreds of years, and it is quite justifiable to fight Dongying; Second, Dongying's national strength is weak, it is easier to fight than other places, and there are many rich households, and one or two trips can't be finished; There are silver mines in the third Dongying. It's just that most of those silver mines have been mined for hundreds of years, and there are not many left. Even if you get all the silver mines, someone has to dig them, right? Wouldn't it be good for the prince to go straight to Jiaozhi and open the treasury in Siam? The matter of the silver mine was casually said by Jia Cong on the way from Ezhou to Luzhou that day, and he remembered it.

Shui Rong exclaimed: "You actually have this insight!" I underestimated you. "Yes, many years," he sighed again, "yes, many years......" he laughed suddenly.

Zhong Heng said inexplicably: "Why is the prince laughing? ”

Shui Rong smiled: "In the past, Cong'er often said a few witty words. 'There was a piece of precious osmanthus cake in front of me, I did not cherish it until it fell to the ground, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this. ’”

Zhong Heng said with a smile: "My subordinates have also heard that they are not talking about osmanthus cake, but mung bean soup." When God gave him another chance, he said three words to the kitchen, put less sugar. ”

Shui Rong said: "I just thought of this. There was once a rare general who was placed in front of me, and I did not cherish it until he resigned. ”

Zhong Heng lowered his head and said: "My subordinates have a great favor from the prince, and they will be rewarded in the future." ”

Shui Rong shook his head and said, "You don't need to take it to heart. He sighed again and waved him away. Zhong Heng saluted again and withdrew.

The next day, Zhong Heng got up and rushed back to the cottage, and told the brothers that he had found his uncle and had the intention to go to Luzhou to live a stable life, and everyone was reluctant to give up. Zhong Heng said: "Now the prince intends to send troops overseas, if the brothers fight bravely to kill the enemy, they will be able to achieve a career." He also asked if anyone was willing to go to Luzhou with him. There were more than a dozen brothers who had followed the Zhao leader in the past and had been close to him in the past few years and stood up and said that they were willing to join him; On the contrary, the ones he himself accepted from Ping'an Prefecture in the early years looked at each other for a long time, and no one was willing to go with him. Zhong Heng sighed lightly, said goodbye to everyone, and led a dozen brothers to get up.

All the way to Luzhou, I went to the inn and asked, Zhong Wei had already bought a shop and moved away. Zhong Heng and others then rushed to the teahouse. When I got to the back, I saw that Zhong Wei was teaching Xiaolu Wang kung fu. Although the prince is short and his moves are a little chaotic, he is very attentive, and Zhong Heng is quite relieved to see it. For a while, King Lu saw him, and pounced with a shout. Zhong Heng smiled and hugged the little disciple in his arms, full of joy. There is no need to elaborate on the reunion of uncles and nephews.

A few days later, someone came to report that a group of mountain bandits had recently come outside Luzhou City, and they had looted two granaries and a number of wealthy households in succession, but fortunately no one was hurt. The king of Lu ordered to pacify Du Dequ and go to suppress the bandits. Du Dequ was not happy that they opened so many schools in the city, but they only asked for military salaries and refused to leave. Zeng Chun had no choice but to discuss with King Lu and others to transfer some money from elsewhere to him. King Lu was unhappy, and the puffed up Xun Zhongheng complained: "I hate that Du Dequ the most!" It's not good to train soldiers, and he only thinks about calculating money all day long. Zhong Heng just didn't hear it, and ordered him to practice martial arts. King Lu had to pout and tie his horse, but fortunately he was quite stable.

After King Lu got out of school, Zhong Heng returned to the teahouse and said to Zhong Wei: "Uncle, it's just a group of thieves, why don't you lead me to take a look?" ”

Zhong Wei immediately understood what he meant, and chuckled: "Well, my arms and legs are not old." ”

The uncle and nephew packed up a little, rode out of the city, and ran all the way to the place where the bandits were entrenched, and arrived at the foot of the mountain when the sun was setting. With Zhong Wei's ability, it is not difficult to go up the mountain alone to lead the bandits; Because I received my nephew today, I had to teach him something, so it took some effort. Fortunately, Zhong Heng has also been a mountain bandit for many years, and it is not a problem to move around. And Zhong Heng is very familiar with the bandits, and easily found the bandits' den.

It was winter, it was dark early, and there was a bright moon hanging in the sky. The bandits' dens are nothing more than tents set up at random. Zhong Wei glanced up and praised: "There are three talent formations lined up!" This bandit leader is a capable man. If you can take it, it's better not to kill it. ”

Zhong Heng took a look at it and said with a smile: "Usually our village is marching outside like this. Is this the Sancai Array? ”

Zhong Wei felt sorry in his heart, and only said after a while: "You don't practice the art of war!" It can also be discharged from the three-talent array. It can be seen that the talent is not inferior to others. Tomorrow I will teach you the formations commonly used in the army. Zhong Heng pursed his lips and replied "yes".

The two of them quietly bypassed the two patrolling bandits and sneaked to the back and looked at the tent first. Zhong Wei praised again: "Good tent!" Nai listened attentively, there was no voice inside, and there were two people guarding the front, and said with a smile, "Where to put money." Then he cut through the tent with a dagger and got in, and sure enough, he saw that there were neatly stacked boxes inside, and it was obvious that they had been moved out of someone's storehouse.

Zhong Heng glanced at it, felt strange, and looked at it a few more times. Zhong Wei asked, "But what's wrong?" ”

Zhong Heng said: "These boxes are not piles. How could ordinary mountain bandits loot things so neatly? It's like it's sitting in a storeroom. ”

Zhong Wei said: "Or is this king thoughtful? ”

"It shouldn't be a stack of high, a stack of low." Zhong Heng opened some of the tent openings that his uncle had opened, let in more moonlight, and said, "And why are each stack of boxes in the same style?" Could it be that the bandits have robbed their property and divided it according to the people from whom they came? ”

Zhong Wei said: "You have been a bandit for many years, and you have been robbing merchants and rarely interacting with others. There is also a kind of bandit who is a group of several gangs to commit crimes, and when they divide the spoils, they divide according to which gang is the main group. ”

Nai quietly approached the tent door, where two mountain bandits were gossiping. Zhong Heng didn't see his uncle's hand at all, the two of them had already fallen, and he secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, and he was a little happy. The two got out of the tent, and Zhong Wei said: "Take these two people to the back trial." ”

Zhong Heng nodded, looked down, and was stunned: "Ding Laosi!" Then look at the other person next to him, "Wang Zhuzi!" How are they? ”

Zhong Wei frowned: "Do you recognize?" ”

Zhong Heng said: "It's my former subordinate." After thinking for a moment, he walked a few steps to another tent, and recognized it at a glance. Turning his head and coming back to sù Zhongwei, "It's all my people." ”

Zhong Wei pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I roughly know why that tent looks like a storeroom. ”

Then he turned around and shook the two bandits awake. The two of them opened their eyes in a daze, and were overjoyed: "Leader Zhong!" You're here! ”

Zhong Heng looked at them and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The two of them did not answer, but shouted, "The leader of the clock is here—the leader of the clock is here—" and in an instant, a large area was alarmed, and countless mountain bandits came out of the tent one after another, shouting, "Where is the leader of the clock?"

Not long after, a Humpty Dumpty man hurriedly ran over, hugged his fist to Zhong Heng and said, "I was thinking that I would go to find the leader in the next few days, but you always came first!" ”

Zhong Heng had some vague thoughts in his heart, and asked angrily: "Say it quickly!" What's going on? ”

The Humpty Dumpty man smiled and invited him to the big tent in front of him with the mountain bandits, and poured two bowls of hot water for their uncle and nephew.

These people were not Shuilu's subordinates, but ordinary mountain bandits in Ping'an Prefecture. At that time, the leader of Zhao wanted to rob the birthday gift sent to the Gao family in Chang'an by Rongguo Mansion and Ping'an Prefecture to Jia Taijun, and he ordered Zhong Heng to subdue them, and ordered Zhong Heng to lead them to besiege the Shouli convoy first, and then lead people to rescue him, so that Gao Ying, who was escorting the Shouli, would neglect to take precautions and then rob at night. I don't want Zhong Heng to have other thoughts, and a group of young people in Rongguo Mansion are not simple. Later, these mountain bandits followed Zhong Heng and threw themselves into the water. Because Shuijun's original soldiers and horses were all serious court soldiers, some of them didn't look down on these serious bandits, and they didn't stay on the same mountain with Shuilu's people. Although they are all led by Zhong Heng, there is not much contact between the two sides.

About a month ago, Ge Qiao, the owner of Panlong Cottage, suddenly went to their village and told the brothers early, Zhong Heng was afraid that he could no longer be a mountain bandit because of his family. The people were astonished, and immediately worried that the new leaders would look down on them, and that their baggage and possessions would be biased towards those people.

Ge Qiao said, "That's all I say, and that's all you hear." The lord of Luzhou, King Lu, was young, and the soldiers and horses were all in the hands of Du Dequ, the pacification envoy. Du Dequ was greedy and didn't listen to King Lu. The brothers all know that the bell leader is superb. As the saying goes, pregnancy is like pregnancy, as long as you have it, it will be seen sooner or later. Zhong Tou led to the rule of King Lu, and sooner or later he was invited to be a military attache by others as a great sage. It's just that as soon as he has the ability, the second has no official position, the third has no merit, and the fourth has no subordinates, he will be bullied by that Du Dequ. The brothers looked at each other. He then smiled and said, "If you are worried about Leader Zhong, it is better to move to Luzhou, rob some rich households, and then contact Leader Zhong, and let him ride up the mountain alone to recruit hundreds of mountain bandits, and show his face in front of King Lu and the people of Luzhou." In this way, he has the credit and his subordinates, but he is still worried that he has no official position and no future? Wouldn't it be good for you to follow him seriously as an officer and soldier of the imperial court, and secretly change your clothes and resume your old business in your spare time? ”

When everyone heard this, they all said that it was a good idea. It's just that they are still water-soluble people on the surface. Therefore, at that time, Zhong Wei asked who intended to come to Luzhou with him, but no one said anything; really secretly made up their minds, and as soon as Zhong Wei left, they followed the camp and set up the village, all the way to Luzhou, and acted according to the plan.

Back then, Rongguo Mansion invited Zhong Heng to see his uncle, which was the line taken by Liu Xianglian of Panlong Mountain. Others don't know, Zhong Heng naturally knows that Panlong Mountain has something to do with Rongguo Mansion, and this matter is obviously the idea of the two brothers of the Jia family. couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "I owe him another favor!" Nai looked at the group, "Are you really willing to follow me?" ”

The brothers were all overjoyed and shouted in unison: "Yes!" Follow the Bell Leader! ”

"Okay." Zhong Heng said, "Since everyone is willing to follow the surname Zhong, I will not disappoint you!" ”

"Follow the bell leader--follow the bell leader-" The cheers were waves, and the birds on the mountain fluttered and flew up. Zhong Wei nodded secretly beside him, feeling extremely proud.

Early the next morning, the uncle and nephew of the Zhong family led a large group of mountain bandits, and returned to Luzhou City with many mountain bandits looting property in Luzhou. The city is like boiling oil! Everyone on the street is talking: the Zhong Daxia who taught Luwang Chitose to practice martial arts and the Zhong boss of Yuezhi Teahouse are all rare heroes in the world! The two rode in pairs, broke into the bandits' den at night, and fought with more than 700 mountain bandits. The mountain bandits first fought on wheels, and then they swarmed up and let them all fight down! These mountain bandits have been subdued by them! Now the king of Lu has issued a recruitment order, and these mountain bandits are incorporated into the guard camp of the king of Lu, and he ordered Zhong Heng to lead the camp as the captain of Zhongxian. and ordered all the rich families who had been robbed to come to the palace of the king of Lu to receive the looted property, and returned a lot of original goods. Those rich families who suffered were all so happy that they wept tears, and they all claimed that the two Zhong heroes were the gods who saved the suffering in the lower realm.

Such a hero, all without a daughter-in-law!! Especially Xiao Zhong, Lieutenant Zhong, who is young, strong in martial arts, handsome in appearance, commands the personal guard camp of King Lu, and is still the martial master of King Lu! The future is simply not counted, everyone knows it. Who wouldn't want to marry the big girl in the city? After only three days of hard work, the threshold of Yuezhi Teahouse has broken two! It's all done by the matchmaker.

Zhong Wei was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. The business of the teahouse is gone, and every day I only see all kinds of matchmakers, public matchmakers, women, and women, and carefully select nephews and daughters-in-law. It's just that the two of them are a little weird. The family used to be the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, but because of the great changes in the DPRK and the central government, he was depressed, and recently led the whole family to Luzhou; The other is a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou, who is very rich. It's not that the girls of these two families are bad, Zhong Wei just thinks that they can't beg to marry Zhong Heng. No matter how heroic Zhong Heng is, he is just a martial artist, and he can't climb high.

He then released a pigeon in the capital and asked Shi Li to investigate the two families. I didn't want Shi Li to do things very quickly, and it didn't take long for a pigeon to send a message: that Hanlin is the person of the king of Beijing County, the king of Shui, who had saved the lives of his whole family, and his entry into the Hanlin Academy was also the way for the water. The rich merchant was the brother-in-law of King Lu's uncle, Zeng Chun. Zhong Wei saw that he didn't say a word, and only showed the letter to Zhong Heng.

Zhong Heng was shocked: "Prince Beijing! What is he doing with my relatives? ”

"My nephew is a general, and he didn't check before; After he has allowed you to leave the village, he understands that he is very sorry in his heart, and he wants to win you over. Zhong Weinai sneered, "Before leaving, Third Master Cong also told me that the Zeng family has five daughters, all of whom are used to win over others. If they want to marry their daughter to you, I'd better not say yes. Both of us are honest people, and we can't calculate their family. Who knows that people are reluctant to give their own girls to our family. ”

Zhong Heng was silent for a moment, slowly shook his head, and sighed.
