"Well, then let me tell you, we are in our hometown, we have a locust plague there, and the farmers have not harvested the grains! The people of the landlord's family forced the people in our village to pay grain rent every day, and when we didn't have grain to pay, they beat people. As they fought, they were in a hurry, and both sides moved their weapons. We lost them, left their people behind, and the landlord's family came to ask for people, and they promised not to trouble us, and promised that this year's grain rent would be paid again next year's harvest, and we were too naïve to think that they would not come again. I didn't expect it! These bastards came at night and set fire to all the houses in our village. As soon as someone in our village ran out, they would kill one, Pei Yuanshao and I had learned martial arts, and the two of us fought desperately to get out of the encirclement. The fire burned our village for three days and three nights. Saying that, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao both began to cry.

Zhou Cang wiped his tears and continued: "They knew that Pei Yuanshao and I had escaped, so they looked for us everywhere and said that the two of us set fire to our village and killed everyone in the village. They said they were sent to support our village, and they fought with the two of us. They reported to the authorities, asked the government to arrest us, and posted a message about us on the city gate. We were desperate, so we hid in the mountains for a while. The two of us swore to avenge the villagers, so we entered the city while the gates were not well guarded, and killed all the landlords' families. We hurriedly ran out of the city, and it didn't take long for the officers and soldiers of the city to chase after us, and we fought as we ran. Until we met these bandits and rogues to help us drive those officers and soldiers away. ”

"If you kill well, you should kill. There should be no such landlords. He Xing clapped his hands and said.

"Do you think so too?" Pei Yuanshao said in surprise.

"I'm not like those people. Follow me, and I'll keep you wanted by the government. so that you will have food every day. He Xing said sincerely to Zhou Cang and the others.

"Brother Zhou, what do you think?" Pei Yuanshao looked at Zhou Cang and asked.

Zhou Cang looked at He Xing, and He Xing looked at Zhou Cang with clear and sincere eyes. The two stared at each other for a while, and Zhou Cang turned his head to look at Pei Yuanshao. Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang have known each other since childhood, and they understood Zhou Cang's meaning at a glance. nodded, and said to Zhou Cang: "Brother Zhou, I listen to you." You decide. ”

"Okay, we've decided to follow you." Saying that, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao knelt down.

"The lord is above, please accept Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao bow."

"Ha, ha, ha, good, good, good, good." He Xing hurriedly helped the two of them up, and cut the ropes of Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao with a tiger head knife.

"Gao Shun, come here." He Xing turned his head and shouted at Gao Shun, who was directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

"General, get over right away." Gao Shun looked at He Xing and said.

After saying that, he hurriedly beat his horse and came over.

"General, what's wrong?" Gao Shun came to He Xing, turned over and dismounted, and said.

"This is Zhou Cang, and this is Pei Yuanshao. We're all brothers from now on. He Xing pointed to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao and said to Gao Shun.

"This is Gao Shun." He Xing pointed to Gao Shun and said to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao.

"From now on, we will all be brothers. All know each other. He Xing said to the three of them.

The three of them greeted each other. At this time, the soldiers had also finished cleaning the battlefield. When He Xing was about to tell everyone about returning to Jizhou City, Zhou Cang came to He Xing's side and quietly told He Xing that he knew where the bandits and rogues put the stolen money.

If you want to say how Zhou Cang knows where the money is, this is what the bandit leader said when he was drunk. Zhou Cang didn't think about it at first, but now that he was leaving, he suddenly remembered. So He Xing, Gao Shun, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao discussed and decided to take the money. Why pick it up? Because I was afraid that the people who had just let me go would know, I went to pick it up now.

"Soldiers, these two must have known each other! They were threatened by bandits and rogues to oppose us. Now that they have repented, they have decided to join us in our crusade against bandits and bandits. And they both told us where the bandits and outcasts had put their money, and we now went and took it. Do you agree with the two of them joining? Would you like to come with us to get the money back? He Xing pointed to Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao and said to the soldiers.

"Agree, agree, agree, willing, willing, willing." The soldiers replied in unison.

"Alright, then we'll have both of them join our army. Zhou Cang led the way in front. He Xing said to the soldiers.

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang hugged his fist at He Xing, turned around, and walked towards the forest.

"Keep up." He Xing waved his hand at the soldiers and said.

He Xing, Gao Shun, and Pei Yuanshao took all the soldiers and followed Zhou Cang into the forest. Approaching the forest, the big trees, all as thick as the mouth of the bowl, stood straight and straight, with only a few yellow leaves on the trees, and the wind blew and swayed gently. Walking under a big tree that was one meter thick, Zhou Cang used his big knife to dig under the big tree. Seeing this, He Xing waved his hand and asked a few soldiers to come forward to help.

The strength of the people was great, and they quickly dug out two large boxes with locks, and these soldiers carried these two large boxes with locks in front of He Xing. He Xing used a tiger head knife to open the locks on the two boxes. One chest contains copper coins, and one chest contains jewelry.

"Brothers, divide the money! Take home these pieces of jewelry. He Xing looked at the two boxes and said.

The soldiers were stunned. Those who have never been generals will give money to the soldiers, and they usually keep it private or hand it over. I thought to myself, our general is really different. He Xing saw that all the soldiers had no intention of stepping forward to take the money, so he hurriedly looked at Gao Shun and motioned for him to take the lead to get it. Gao Shun received He Xing's signal, and happily stepped forward to take some money from the box.

Seeing this, He Xing still didn't come forward to get the money, so He Xing took the money and planned to share it with everyone one by one. When He Xing divided more than a dozen people, all the soldiers knelt down and shouted to He Xing: "Swear allegiance to the general." ”

"Let's all get up. Don't let me get points one by one, hurry up and get it yourself. He Xing looked at the soldiers and said.

"No." All the soldiers got up and came forward one by one to get the money. Soon the money was gone. So He Xing arranged for two soldiers to dispose of the empty box, and arranged for two other soldiers to let him carry the remaining other box. He Xing and the soldiers returned to Jizhou City first, leaving only the two soldiers who handled the empty boxes, never thought that these two soldiers would bury the empty boxes under the big tree. Then he turned around and rode on his horse, beat his horse and ran towards Jizhou City together.

After everyone had walked away, in the forest, in front of the big tree as thick as one person, there was a big man, who was watching the other big men cut down the trees. Soon the men dug out the boxes that had just been sold. When they got the box out from under the tree and opened it, they saw that there was nothing inside.

"Big brother, the gold, silver and jewelry are gone? How can this be explained? One of the big men said anxiously to the big man in the lead.

"I'm not blind, I can see." The leading man said with an angry face.

"Hurry up and arrange someone for me, find out who it is? Let me know who it is, I must have hacked him alive. The leading man said fiercely to everyone. After speaking, he took out the big knife at his waist and slashed towards a big tree with a thick bowl mouth.

"Click." With a bang, the big tree with the thick mouth of the bowl broke. The leading big man calmed his mood and let out a sigh of relief.

"You don't have to worry about the above, I'll tell you. Go and find out who took the gold, silver, and jewelry. We can't stay here, let's leave quickly. After the leading man finished speaking, he turned around and got on his horse and walked in the opposite direction of Jizhou City. The remaining big men also walked in different directions.

He Xing led the soldiers back to Jizhou City, and asked Gao Shun to lead the soldiers back to the camp with their jewelry first, and went to see He Jin alone.
