"Brother, this Wagang Village is really extraordinary! There is actually a high wall built around the mountain at the foot of the mountain, which is the only green forest in the world! If you want to storm the cottage, this tall walled wall is like attacking a big city, which is not easy! Wu Kui crouched behind a big rock in the distance, and whispered to Jiao Fang, who was still stretching his neck to look at Wagang City, and there were 6 personal guards behind them lying quietly behind the stone.

"Yes! Brother, this is much stronger than you and me in a few cottages in Taihang Mountain. This place can really be described as an attack, a retreat, and a defense! With this walled wall defense, what can tens of thousands of soldiers and horses do? Jiao Fang sighed lightly, feeling a sense of frustration in his heart, he had been gathering in the mountains for a long time, and it was also mixed with green forest roads, this difference was really fucking big! Where is this Wagang Village a green forest cottage so simple! This is simply a kingdom, a large piece of business, but it can compete for the foundation of the world! No wonder the lord values this place so much.

"What a treasure land, only a river away from the east of my river, if it is not owned by my lord, it will become a great trouble for my lord." Wu Kui looked at Jiao Fang, who had a solemn and serious face, and said fiercely.

"Alright, it's almost surveyed here. I will wait for the ambush to return to the mountains as soon as possible, and it is estimated that the day after tomorrow at most, the Zheng family's salt caravan will arrive. Eight people left the boulder and got on their horses.

Wagang cottage Dazhai Hall.

At this time, a tall hall is different from the general green forest cottage Juyi Hall. The inside and outside of the main hall are exquisitely decorated, all kinds of carvings reveal a royal spirit, turn into the interior of the main hall, all kinds of furnishings, utensils are not gold or silver, revealing the richness of the cottage. There are two people sitting in the middle of the main hall, one person on the left, wearing a bucket-like scarf of eyebrows, wearing a wide shirt of linen along the edge of the soap, a brown luan belt tied around the waist, silk shoes and socks below, the face is white and the beard is long, the eyebrows are slender, and the birth seems to be a little delicate, the arms are long, and the waist wears a long sword, this person is the master of Wagang Mountain Dazhai Pu Guzhong. One person on his right hand, wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a vermilion armor, wearing a blue brocade jacket, green boots, a leather belt at the waist, and an iron front and back to cover his heart. This person is Fei Tianxi, the owner of the second cottage. At this time, the leaders of the temple were deliberating.

I only heard Fei Tianxi shouting loudly to Pu Guzhong: "Brother, the younger brother will patrol along the official road to Shandong early in the morning, and it is more than 30 miles away. Could it be that this winter festival is not over yet? Are you no longer buying and selling? Fei Tianxi obviously had just returned to the mountain from outside the village, and he hadn't taken off his armor all the way, and after speaking, he hurriedly swallowed a few sips of hot wine and spit out a mouthful of hot wine.

"Brother, my eldest brother asked you not to run in vain this morning, you don't believe it. You see, the heavy snow outside has closed the road, and it is difficult for cars and horses to travel. How can there be a businessman who can easily go out at this time? Even the people who fled were rare. Pu Gu held the wine bowl and comforted Fei Tianxi, who had run for nothing.

"Brother, you really don't know that in the past, the village collected more money from passing merchants, and there were not many merchants who trafficked grain. Nowadays, there is no shortage of gold and silver in my cottage, but the stored grain, oil and salt are not enough to survive the winter! We're so poor now that we only have money left. Fei Tianxi clenched his fists and hammered down the thick rosewood table and said.

"Dasui has been affected everywhere this year, and there is a shortage of food in all places. In the past, my cottage mainly relied on the caravan from Luoyang, Zhongzhou to sell grain to Dengzhou, Shandong in exchange for sea salt, but now his caravan is rare. There is also this refined salt that also needs to be replenished. It seems that there are only two ways to do it now, one is to send troops to the surrounding states and cities to seize it, and if you can buy it, it is best not to use sword soldiers. The second went to Erxian Village, Luzhou, Hedong to discuss with the second brother Shan, and asked him to borrow winter food, only two ways. "Pu Guzhong's martial arts are not good, but he has some resourcefulness, and he also sat on the top spot of the cottage by virtue of this. At this time, I thought of going to Luzhou to find Shan Xiongxin, the boss of the green forest, to help solve his own problems. What's more, the green forests of the nine provinces belong to my Wagang, and the most silver money is tributed.

"According to the younger brother, it is not feasible to buy grain. Attacking the state city to grab grain broke the rules of the rivers and lakes, and it was not feasible. It's okay to find a way for the second brother to find a way. He was originally a big family in Luzhou, and his family had a wide range of grain stocks. Who is like me Wagang who deducts the elements with silver money every year, and many cottages offset the share with grain. It shouldn't be difficult to buy back tens of thousands of stone of grain from him. Fei Tianxi thought about it, and if there were difficulties, it was only feasible to find an organization, so he supported the boss to find Shan Xiongxin for help.

At this time, he suddenly rushed into a small school and reported: "Qiqi two village owners, there are Hedong salt merchants passing by at the foot of the mountain to go to Jianghuai to buy them in exchange for Jianghuai winter grain." The proprietor of the caravan is now outside the temple. ”

The two village owners and the small leaders on the seat were also shocked when they heard this, and they were shocked that there were actually salt caravans that still had to travel in this deep winter season.

"It seems that the place east of the river is not without a shortage of grain and rice as rumored. The proprietor was ordered to enter the temple, and the king himself was to inquire about it. Pu Guzhong said to the newspaper school.

After a while, Xiao Xiao led the caravan proprietor into the main hall, and the proprietor did not dare to raise his head, and hurriedly knelt on his knees and said straightly: "Xiaomin bought 10,000 catties of refined salt from Huan County, Hedong, and wanted to exchange it for winter grain in the Jianghuai area. With that, he hurriedly took out a red cloth package from his bosom and raised his hands above his head. On the side, the small school hurriedly took the silver bag and put it on the table in Pugu.

"Huh! Don't be afraid, get up and speak. This king asks you, I heard that there is no shortage of grain in your Hedong County, why do you still sell salt for grain at this time? Pu Guzhong asked softly.

"The king doesn't know, Hedong County has a bumper grain harvest this autumn, but the villain lives in Huan County, Huan County is far away from Luzhou, and it is a small county in the mountains. There are few fields and there is no abundance, so it is still necessary to exchange salt for grain to tide over the difficult time. It's not that the villain doesn't want to stay at home for a long time, it's really helpless. "The proprietor of this salt merchant is a fine person selected by Lu Zhaolin from the Zheng family in Zezhou, who was originally a steward of the Zheng family, has seen the world, and is not afraid of this kind of scene at all.

"Alright! This king will accept the mountain worship money, you can go by yourself, hold my cottage order flag, and no one will disturb you within a radius of 50 miles. However, in this year of catastrophe, your caravan will inevitably encounter some thieves who don't understand the rules. After me, you will be blessed. Drop-off down the mountain. Pu Guzhong saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he was in no mood to continue asking, so he sent the little school to send him down the mountain.

"Big brother, no fat sheep have come to the door for many days, according to the little brother's ---" Fei Tianxi made a murderous gesture after speaking. Immediately, the small leaders below nodded and applauded, eager to try.

"Don't, don't break the rules of the green forest, I'll go to Luzhou Erxian Village for my brother in two days, don't let the heroes on the road laugh at me and wait." Pu Guzhong objected.

If there is a wind and grass in this green forest road, the leading boss of Luzhou Erxian Village will know it immediately. It's better not to make trouble.

"Okay, big brother, in a few days it will be the 30th birthday of the second brother Shan Da Shan Xiongzhong, and everyone in the rivers and lakes will go to Erxian Village for a gathering, and my cottage is not short of gold and silver, so I will prepare some more as a gift, and give it to the second brother Shan, you and I will go together." Fei Tianxi said loudly, he knew that with the temperament of the second brother and his reputation in the rivers and lakes, he would definitely help solve the problem of food for the cottage, as long as the two of them asked for it.

Another day later, Pugu patrolled the wall back to the main hall and sat down. There was a patrol spy who came to report, so Pu Guzhong whispered a few words in his ear and then stepped in to give a salute and went out. Leaving Pu Guzhong in a daze on the seat in the hall.

"Go, let Fei Er's family go back to the palace immediately." After thinking about it for a while, Pu Guzhong decided to send someone to find Fei Tianxi to discuss.

After a while, I saw Fei Tianxi striding into the hall and shouted, "Why is the eldest brother in a hurry to recruit the younger brother to come?" So saying, he sat down in his seat, his face tired, and he was half-reclining.

When Pu Guzhong saw his expression, he knew that he had been fighting with a few concubines all night last night, and he was sleeping soundly when he called him, but he was woken up by himself. didn't break it, so he said to him directly: "Brother, my cottage spies from Hebei Province came to report that Luzhou had arrived with a batch of 500,000 stone of grain to help Qinyang, Qinshui, Heyang, Boxian, and Zhixian across the river from my cottage, and this batch of grain is currently stored in the Boxian government treasury. ”

When Fei Tianxi heard this, he suddenly fell asleep, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Brother! This is also a bird, my cottage men and horses quietly cross the river tonight, tomorrow morning to break through 60 miles to Bo County, the deal will be completed, these several cities are a small number of unusable soldiers. The younger brother is enough to bring 800 men and horses, and he will return tomorrow. ”

"This ---, brother, my green forest also has the way of the green forest, this robbery of the official city, once it is reported, it will definitely attract the official family to expropriate and suppress, so that the brother is thinking about it." After saying that, he bowed his head and said nothing, and paced back and forth in the hall with his hand and long beard. On the side, Fei Tianxi looked anxious, and kept pouring the tea on the table into his mouth. After getting drunk last night, he hugged left and right, and now he is very thirsty.

At this time, a small school school who suddenly rushed in from outside, and saw that the two leaders were there, so he intervened and said: "Report to the two kings, a group of people who have thrown themselves into the mountain have come down from the mountain, and the two leaders are called Jiao Fang and Wu Kui, leading 200 brothers and a group of women and children. There are several truckloads of salt bags behind him, estimated to be about 10,000 catties. Now waiting at the gate of the village under the mountain to enter the village. ”

"Oh?" Pu Guzhong stopped, glanced at Fei Tianxi, the second child who was also stunned there, and then asked: "Can Jiao Fang and Wu Kui, who cast themselves in the mountain, tell them where they came from, and which hill is the owner of the village?" How many horses and weapons are there? Pu Guzhong hurriedly asked.

"Report to the owner of the village, among these 200 people, there are more than ten inferior horses such as Jiao and Wu, and the rest have no horses. There were no more than 100 men with weapons in their hands. Jiao and Wu were soldiers who deserted the army, and the rest were refugees from Jizhou who were collected by the two of them. ”

"Let Jiao and Wu Er lead the village into the hall to speak, and the rest of the people wait outside the village. By the way, send someone out to bring those truckloads of refined salt into the village. Pu Guzhong glanced at Fei Tianxi, and when he saw that Fei Tianxi didn't speak, he took charge of his own orders. The little colonel hurriedly ran out after hearing the order.

"Big brother, my cottage also has a lot of heroes from other mountains on weekdays, according to the younger brother, this time it's just some homeless people who can't stand the cold winter to live in my cottage. We don't lack food for these hundred or so people here, besides, let's ----- immediately" Fei Tianxi was about to continue, but when he saw Pu Guzhong raise a hand, Fei Tianxi hurriedly shut up when he saw this.

"Brother Modo said, let Brother Wei ask in person. If he is really a good man on the road, and the rivers and lakes are in emergency, I will naturally keep him here. If it's a spy sent by the government, then it's two words. "Pu Guzhong is still much more rational than Fei Tianxi, a rough man.

A moment later, Xiao Xiao led Jiao Fang and Wu Kui into the main hall. Jiao and Wu saw the two masters of Wagangzhai, and they hurriedly performed the ceremony of cutting and whisking according to the rules of the rivers and lakes.

Pu Guzhong saw that the two were also colleagues in the rivers and lakes, so he relieved himself.

"Where did the two heroes come from? Why do you still carry 10,000 catties of refined salt? After Pu Guzhong beckoned the two to sit down, he asked.

"Pu Dangjia, Fei Dangjia, my two brothers were originally the leaders of the Yanmen Pass cottage in Taihang Mountain, but because the big leader of the cottage voted for the king of Hedong Jin and left the cottage, and now the cottage dragons have dispersed without a leader. My two brothers were originally from Zhongzhou, so they got some money to return to their hometown to make a living, but this year's drought, the hometown is also more serious, so they took in some refugees along the road, and wanted to make a living in a cottage. Jiao Fang bowed his hand and saluted.

"Do you know that this salt merchant convoy has my cottage order flag? Dare to rob and break the rules of my rivers and lakes. Pu Guzhong asked sharply.

"Tell the two leaders, a certain two people are also people who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, how can they not know the morality of the rivers and lakes? A certain hand was made after the convoy was far away from the noble land of Wagang Mountain. If it weren't for the territory of the two leaders, the robbery of the convoy had nothing to do with the Wagang cottage. Besides, X didn't kill anyone in vain, but just dispersed. Jiao Fang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Huh! Brother did a good job, Fei Mou also thought about the idea of moving this salt cart a long time ago, but he didn't dare to act rashly because of the rules of the rivers and lakes, and he never thought that this fat meat would fall into the hands of your two brothers. All right! After Fei Tianxi listened to it, he cheered loudly. He knows that there is no breaking the rules by doing this, and I will not do it here, but I can't guarantee that you will be planted in the hands of someone else when you go elsewhere.

Pu Guzhong was speechless after hearing this, and he also smiled slightly. After all, this 10,000 catties of refined salt is a good thing for the cottage, and there is no broken rule when you accept it.

"Brother Jiao Fang, Fei also heard that you voted for the official army in Taihang Mountain, and you were recruited, and now the people in the mountains are doing well? Is the cottage burning? Fei Tianxi asked, because Wagang Mountain is not very far from Taihang Mountain, and some news can still be heard. It's just that Taihang Mountain is relatively closed and the reason for the closure of the mountain in winter, there is still relatively little news on the rivers and lakes.

"Fei Dangjia's question is good, if my brothers hadn't gone out of the mountain earlier, they would have been trapped in the mountains by now, and there is also a shortage of food in the mountains, and the people in the mountains have died of hunger。。。。。
