Chapter 313: Lobbying Up the Mountain (Part II)
Peach Blossom Mountain, here because of the peach trees planted all over, in the spring the peach blossoms bloom all over the mountain, the scenery is extremely beautiful and get the name.
However, since Zhou Tong, who is known as the little overlord, has set up a cottage here, three or four hundred people have gathered in groups, and robbed houses within a radius of dozens of miles, there are almost no people in the area of Peach Blossom Mountain, and the peach blossoms of the empty mountain are released to the sun, but no one appreciates them.
But today there were two people at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, even if they were pointed at by many bandits with knives and guns, the two of them were fearless, their faces were peaceful, and they walked directly to everyone calmly, and only then did the burly man in front of him speak: "Which of you went to the mountain to report a message and tell your two village masters, just say that Sprinkler Luda has come to see him again." ”
"You...... Do you know my owner? A few minions asked suspiciously.
"The Sprinkle family has also gone up the mountain, and drank wine with Li Zhong Zhoutong in your village. Why are you so noisy, just go up and spread the word, can you still lie to you? Ruda glared impatiently, causing the men to take half a step back, and only then did two of them turn around and run up the hill.
This Peach Blossom Mountain is much flatter than the mountain of the second Dragon Mountain, and their stockade is also the same as that of the White Tiger Mountain standing on the mountainside, as long as no one stops them, they will quickly go up to the mountains for several miles, and see the two village owners who are drinking wine and talking in the Juyi Hall, at this time they are talking about the Qingzhou Metropolitan Supervisor Sun Tu breaking the White Tiger Mountain and killing the Jurchens in two battles.
Li Zhong's face was full of uneasiness: "It seems that after enduring all these years, the official army is going to take us this time, and the next days will not be easy." ”
"Big brother, what are you afraid of, our Peach Blossom Mountain is more difficult to attack than White Tiger Mountain, and you and my brother are not comparable to the brothers of the Kong family. Those brothers under our hands are all real men who have fought hard battles, not those Zhuang Ding in White Tiger Mountain. Zhou Tong didn't take this matter too seriously: "Moreover, the officers and soldiers have long been tired from fighting for days, and I think it will be impossible for them to attack our cottage again in a month or two." ”
"Having said that, I still can't afford to be on guard. Actually, according to my intentions, it is better to go out and avoid it. "Although he is the owner of this mountain village, his martial arts are stronger than Zhou Tong, but Li Zhongke, a tiger fighter who walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, is more careful than his brother.
Just when Zhou Tong wanted to say something more, the two minions who reported the news had already arrived in front of the hall, there were no rules here, and the two ran in directly, and opened their mouths to tell the two of them about their desire to go up the mountain.
As soon as Li Zhong, who was originally worried, heard this, he immediately stood up from the chair and rubbed his hands excitedly: "Is it really Brother Lu, he is here?" That's great, if he can stay in our cottage, why be afraid of any officers and soldiers? Invite him up to the mountain, and no, I will come down to him myself. As he spoke, he hurried out.
Zhou Tong looked puzzled, and also got up and chased after him, asking, "Big brother, who is that Ruda?" Why did you lose your temper when you heard his name? Can he be stronger than you and me? ”
"Brother Lu is naturally much stronger than you and me, why, did you forget? Didn't he go up the mountain a few years ago and almost hurt you? Li Zhong saw that Zhou Tong was still a little confused, so he remembered a little and explained: "He is the monk Lu Zhishen who was kidnapped by you and went up the mountain by pretending to be a woman, Luda is his vulgar name, why is he suddenly vulgar again......"
"It's him!" As soon as Zhou Tong heard this, his whole face suddenly became gloomy. He still remembers that incident clearly, he finally fell in love with a girl from a family in the town below the mountain, but he became a fat monk when he entered the cave house, and his martial arts were far above him, so he didn't suffer much at the beginning.
"Why did he come here again?" Zhou Tong muttered in his mouth, but after all, he could still distinguish the weight, so after a little hesitation, he also followed Li Zhong down the mountain. If Na Ruda can really join the cottage this time, the strength of Peach Blossom Mountain's self-protection will increase a lot, and the original grievance can be written off.
The two of them hurried down the mountain, and soon saw Lu Da and Wu Song who were sitting at the foot of the mountain gossiping, Li Zhong stepped forward from a distance and hugged his fists to salute: "Brother Lu, you can come to see the little brother at this time, it is really righteous, and the little brother admires it so much." ”
When Wu Song heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he whispered to Lu Da: "Brother Lu, it seems that they misunderstood your intention to come this time, thinking that you are here to help them guard the mountain." It's hard to speak later. ”
"What to do if you worry about this, let's go up the mountain first." Luda laughed disappreliantly, and then strode up to meet him, laughing and saying, "Brother Li, Brother Zhou, I didn't expect us to meet again." The Sprinkle family has something to talk to you about this time, but I'm tired of traveling for the past two days, and now I just want to beg for a bowl of water and wine to eat, you won't refuse, right? ”
"What did Brother Lu say, if you are willing to come to my small cottage, it is to give me Li Zhong's face, as long as the wine on the mountain, you just drink it, it is not enough, our brother will find a way." As he spoke, he made another gesture to please go up the mountain, and at the same time glanced at Wu Song, who followed forward.
Luda introduced with a smile: "This Wu Erlang is a good brother of the Sprinkle family, and his martial arts are not under me." ”
"It turned out to be Second Brother Wu, disrespectful and disrespectful." Li Zhong didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and then gave Zhou Tong, who had a somewhat unkind face, a look. The latter only stepped forward at this time and hastily hugged his fist: "If you have anything to say, let's go to the cottage first." ”
At that moment, several people went up the mountain again, and after entering the stockade, they each sat down, and their own minions brought over the wine. Although the taste of the wine here is very bland, Luda is indeed addicted to alcohol, and he didn't say much at the moment, so he first drank four or five bowls of wine in a row. Wu Song on the side didn't let him be beautiful alone, and he actually drank five bowls of wine in a blink of an eye, and his face was not red.
This amount of good alcohol alone has already stunned the other people in the cottage, and after a while, there is a burst of praise, and they are massive.
When the two of them finally put down the wine bowl, Li Zhong said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Lu's amount of wine is even bigger than before, and Second Brother Wu is also massive, which really makes me feel ashamed." After a pause, he said tentatively: "Actually, it is not a good choice for the two of you to come to my Peach Blossom Mountain today, I don't know if you have heard that there has been a major incident in my Qingzhou Green Forest recently, and Baihu Mountain has been wiped out by the official army." And as far as the younger brother is concerned, the official army may still use troops against my Peach Blossom Mountain, and now we are in danger, hey......"
Zhou Tong's temperament is much more straightforward than Li Zhong, and then he said: "I have seen Brother Lu's ability, if you can help my brothers on Peach Blossom Mountain survive this catastrophe this time, then I didn't say it, in the future, our brothers will obey your dispatch and serve you two as the masters of the cottage." I wonder what the two brothers think? ”
"Of course, if the two brothers have any concerns and are worried that they are not opponents of the official army, our brothers will not blame you, there is still a little heart here, please don't shirk." Li Zhong clapped his hands again as he spoke, and then a minion brought up a tray with a lot of gold and silver.
The two of them sang and harmonized, which can be regarded as the ultimate in etiquette, and almost blocked the back road of Ruda's refusal. As long as they are people in the rivers and lakes, as long as they still take care of their faces and some blood, they will definitely not make excuses after hearing these words, and promise to stay in the mountains to help them get through the difficulties.
Wu Song's eyes drooped slightly, revealing a hint of ridicule, while Luda was a little stunned, and then laughed: "It's not a secret, the two members of the Sprinkle family came here today for this purpose." We are here to save you. ”
"Ah...... Brother Lu is noble, and the younger brother is really grateful. If the eldest brother does not give up, the position of the master of this cottage is yours, and I am willing to obey the instructions. Li Zhong was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly said.
Seeing this, Ruda frowned slightly, and wanted to refuse. But before he could speak, Wu Song had already pulled his arm: "Brother Lu, Master Li Zhai is also sincere, how can you bear to disappoint him?" As he spoke, he glanced at the other party.
Luda's heart turned, and he understood the other party's intentions, and immediately said, "Are you sincere?" From now on, are you willing to obey the orders of the Sprinkle family? He asked Li Zhong, but his eyes fell on Zhou Tong on the side.
Zhou Tong glanced at Li Zhong, who nodded again and again, and after thinking about it with some struggle, he said: "If Brother Lu, you can really protect my Taohuashan brother, it is only natural that we regard you as the owner of the village." Although I am not a hero, I have always been a good man. ”
"Okay, then we'll help with this." Luda immediately clapped his head and said: "As long as you are willing to obey the orders of the Sprinkle family, I guarantee that the whole village will be safe." ”
"Is that true?" Li Zhong and Zhou Tong asked almost in unison. At the same time, dozens of pairs of eyes inside and outside the hall also fell in unison, some expecting, some admiring, and some disbelieving......
Since the news that Baihu Mountain was swept away by the official army, everyone in Peach Blossom Mountain was worried, especially those minions, because they knew that once the war started, they would inevitably charge forward, and their hearts were even more panicked. Some even had the idea of fleeing the area earlier to save their lives. Now, the great hero who is so respected by his own owner actually makes such a guarantee, which really makes them both suspicious and happy.
"Of course. Although the Sprinkle family is no longer a monk, they will not lie casually. Luda smiled, and then he told his true purpose: "Actually, it's easy to do this, as long as you wait to return to the Qingzhou official army as soon as possible, they will naturally not attack Peach Blossom Mountain again, and the brothers will not have any damage." ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent, and everyone's faces showed surprise......
