Shi Tianji also leaned over.

"Lao Shi, you two are in charge of the ground. I'll go to the air, let's give him a 'dumpling'!" Shi Lang said to Shi Tianji.

"Don't worry, brother. Grandma's, none of them want to escape alive! Seeing a woman being attacked by a group of evil men, even if there was no order from the commander, Shi Tianji would angrily draw his sword to help.

As the two spoke, the second wave of the knifeman's attack began.

Shi Lang looked at a mountain rock two meters away, stepped up with an arrow step, took advantage of the momentum, squatted, and his body rose into the air, and then a harrier turned over, and his body was already above the knife hands.

"Brush, brush ......" Shi Langfei took advantage of the elastic force of the tree trunk to fly around in the air, and used the embroidered spring knife in his hand to cut the ropes that more than a dozen knife hands had climbed one by one.

"Plop, plop, plop......" A dozen knives fell from the air like dumplings.

"Your grandma's, your grandma's ......" Shi Tianji scolded non-stop while holding his hand. After a while, more than a dozen swordsmen were sent to the West Heaven by Shi Tianji and the woman.

Shi Lang jumped from the sky.

"Lao Shi, your movements are fast enough, and you won't leave me a few." Shi Lang said to Shi Tianji.

"As soon as I saw these turtle grandchildren, I didn't get angry. I can't wait to send them all to Hades at once. Shi Tianji gritted his teeth and said.

"Thank you two benevolent fathers for coming to the rescue!" The woman clenched her fists in thanks, and at the same time, squeezed her eyes mysteriously at Shi Lang.

Shi Lang smiled knowingly.

"The 'Iron Arm Divine Ape' really lives up to its name!" Du Heng followed Luo Shiyin and walked up the slope, he was obviously impressed by Shi Lang's kung fu just now.

"Where, where, it's just a small skill of carving insects." Shi Lang said modestly.

"Shi Lang's light skills are very good." Luo Shiyin walked up to Shi Lang and the woman and praised Shi Lang.

"This is my ...... Eldest brother. These are a few of my brothers. Shi Lang introduced Luo Shiyin and the other team members to the woman. Without Luo Shiyin's permission, Shi Lang did not rashly introduce Luo Shiyin's true identity to the woman.

"Thank you for your help!" The woman's eyes quickly swept over Luo Shiyin and the others, and then she gave a salute and thanked them.

"Big sister, why did they kill you?" Shi Tianji was anxious and asked the woman.

"It's a long story, and it's hard to explain for a while." The woman did not answer Shi Tianji directly.

"Heroines are extraordinary, and they are by no means idle." Luo Shiyin looked at the woman and said.

Looking at Luo Shiyin's cold gaze, Shi Lang was extremely nervous, and he quickly considered the possible next situation and his own coping strategy.

Yes, the woman in black in front of her is the leader of the Salt Gang that Shi Lang once let go without permission, Ye Ruliu, known as the wild rose. Shi Lang vaguely felt from Luo Shiyin's speech and demeanor that he had recognized Ye Ruliu in front of him. What's next? Shi Lang couldn't guess for a while. However, judging from the fact that the commander ordered him to rescue Ye Ruliu, perhaps the commander had no ill will towards Ye Ruliu. As a close confidant who has followed Luo Shiyin from birth to death for many years, Shi Lang will always make well-intentioned speculations and judgments about the words and deeds of his immediate boss.

"Engong has won the award, the little girl is just a mountain and wild folk girl, and she has learned a little kung fu from her family since she was a child, which is just used for self-defense." Ye Ruliu felt the embarrassment of the current situation from Shi Lang's nervous eyes. Facing Luo Shiyin's compelling gaze, she was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied calmly.

"Haha, good. The heroine is not only good at kung fu, but also speaks freely and appropriately. I don't know where the heroine's home is? Luo Shiyin obviously admired Ye Ruliu's performance, and he wanted to know more about the woman in front of him who shocked the world and made his most powerful subordinate Shi Lang risk killing her head to help.

Shi Lang's nervousness relaxed slightly. His behavior of privately releasing Ye Ruliu violated the laws of the imperial court, and the commander not only did not blame himself, but rescued himself from the prison in Dongchang. At this time, Shi Lang secretly decided: Taking the opportunity of reuniting with Ye Ruliu this time, he must confess to the commander the process and reason why he released Ye Ruliu privately.

"Since a few benevolent fathers are my life-saving benefactors, I don't have to hide it, there is a Shigang Village on the top of Qinglan Peak here, and I am the owner of Shigang Village." Ye Ruliu replied.

After listening to Ye Ruliu's self-report, Shi Lang suddenly nervously observed Luo Shiyin's reaction.

"It seems that there is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in this Changbai Mountain." Luo Shiyin didn't have any expression on his face.

"Engong is serious, it's just a corner of the countryside and mountain people who want to make a living." Ye Ruliu said calmly.

"Shi Lang, you see it's getting late, can we go to the heroine's cottage to borrow a night?" Luo Shiyin turned around and asked Shi Lang.

"......" Shi Lang couldn't figure out the true intentions of the commander for a while.

"No problem. You see, this area is full of barren mountains and mountains, and there is no other place to stay. If a few benevolent princes don't dislike it, they might as well go to the village and sit down. The little girl can also bring a little wine as a token of appreciation. Without waiting for Shi Lang to speak, Ye Ruliu said first.

Ye Ruliu clearly felt a kind of kindness from Luo Shiyin's words, and she readily agreed. Of course, a large part of the reason why Ye Ruliu sent out invitations to the team members so happily was also because of his sweetheart Shi Lang. Unexpectedly, after many days of separation, they would meet again in this barren mountain and wilderness, and Ye Ruliu hated to invite Shi Lang to the village to complain about the pain of parting.

Ye Ruliu had already judged Luo Shiyin's identity from Fang Cai Shi Lang's words. Of course, she also felt that Luo Shiyin had seen her true identity. For Shi Lang's situation, if there were only Luo Shiyin and Shi Lang at the scene, she would calmly explain to Luo Shiyin her identity as the leader of the Salt Gang and try to exonerate Shi Lang. However, there were other people she was not familiar with at the scene, and without knowing the identity of the other party's personnel, it was still inconvenient for Ye Ruliu to act rashly, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to Shi Lang.

"Okay, it just so happens that the brothers are a little tired after a day's walk on the mountain road, so it's better to go to the cottage to rest." Luo Shiyin said briskly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please." Ye Ruliu saw Luo Shiyin's answer, glanced at Shi Lang quickly with cheerful eyes, and then happily walked quickly in front to lead the way.

The group walked towards Shigangzhai.

It took nearly half an hour to walk the rugged mountain road before arriving at Shigangzhai. The stockade looks small and sits at the very top of a mountain peak with a narrow path that winds from the bottom of the peak to the summit.

"The owner of the village really has a good eye, and he chose such a good place. It can be said that the mountain peak is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack! Luo Shiyin said with admiration to Ye Ruliu, who was leading the way in front.

"Eun Gong has won the award!" Ye Ruliu said modestly.

While talking, several people climbed to the top of the peak and came to the gate of Shigangzhai.

The east, south, and west sides of the cottage are surrounded by stone walls, and the north side is a cliff. The gate of the cottage faces south, and a wooden plaque hangs above the lintel. The plaque reads "Helping the Poor". About half a meter in front of the threshold, there is a nine-step stone staircase, and below the staircase is a wide platform.

By this time it was already dark.

"Brothers, there is a distinguished guest tonight, hurry up and set up a drink!" Ye Ruliu ordered his subordinates standing guard at the door.

When the sentry heard the order, he hurried inside to prepare.

The banquet was placed in the hall of the village, and although the dishes on the table were not as high-grade as those in the capital, they were also full of delicacies and game unique to the mountains.

In addition to the female owner of the village, there are also several leaders in the village.

"Thanks to the help of all the benevolent fathers, there is no delicacies in the mountains and wilderness, so I can only prepare some thin wine and wild treasures to express my gratitude. I'll give you a glass first! After the female owner finished speaking, she drank the wine in the toast happily.

"Since the owner of the village is so gracious, don't be too polite, come, let's drink together." Luo Shiyin said to several of his subordinates.

"Okay, drink, drink!" Shi Tianji was the most happy, and as soon as Luo Shiyin finished speaking, he leaned his neck and drank the wine in the cup.

"Big brother seems to be a refreshing person, I'll give my big brother a glass first!" Ye Ruliu saw that Luo Shiyin's words were refreshing, so he took the lead in toasting Luo Shiyin.

"Thank you for your kindness." Luo Shiyin drank the wine in the toast briskly.

Ye Ruliu had a good amount of wine, he finished toasting Luo Shiyin, and then walked to Shi Tianji, Shi Lang, Du Heng, and Xie Yuan to toast. When toasting to Shi Lang, Ye Ruliu's eyes were a little more tender, she gently approached Shi Lang, and whispered: "Brother Shi Lang, I haven't seen you for many days, little sister respects you!" ”

"Okay." Looking at each other, Shi Lang's heart was filled with tenderness.

The two of them touched their glasses lightly and took a sip of the wine in each of them.

Ye Ruliu finished toasting Shi Lang, returned to his seat, and said to several of his subordinates present: "Brothers, I was attacked by Qu Da's men in the mountains and forests just now, and thanks to the rescue of these benevolent dukes, I was able to turn the corner. Everyone should be kind to my life-savers and give them a few glasses of wine. ”

Hearing Ye Ruliu's order, several of her subordinates naturally did not dare to slack off, and stood up one after another to toast the members of the team.

Several of the leaders in the cottage are also boozes. The so-called wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, and eight or nine bold men gather at the wine table, which is really staggered, so lively. Shi Tianji is even more energetic with the two village owners and Gui in the village, the two of them draw fists and give orders, and they don't give in to each other, and finally both of them are drunk, one is lying on the table and sleeping, and the other sneaks under the table and snores like thunder.

"I see it's getting late, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow. Trouble the heroine to arrange a place to stay. Seeing that he was full of wine and food, Luo Shiyin said to Ye Ruliu.

"I've asked them to clean up the room. Eun Gong might as well have a few more drinks. Ye Ruliu said.

"Can't drink anymore. If I drink it any longer, with the strength of the heroine, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it tomorrow. Luo Shiyin said.

"Well, if the hospitality is not good, I hope there will be a lot of Haihan." Ye Ruliu saw that Luo Shiyin's attitude was resolute and no longer reluctant. She stood up and led the team to the east wing room with a few of her subordinates.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have a good rest, if you need anything, you can go to the upper room to find me." After settling the beds of the team members, Ye Ruliu was about to leave, and as she spoke, she quickly threw an affectionate glance at Shi Lang.

Shi Lang immediately understood the affection and expectation contained in Ye Ruliu's eyes, and he nodded affectionately to Ye Ruliu, knowing each other.

Sending Ye Ruliu away, Shi Tianji, Du Heng, and Xie Yuan immediately fell asleep on the kang.

Luo Shiyin walked out of the wing room and came to the platform in front of the walled gate.

From time to time, the grass at the edge of the platform could be heard with the murmur of crickets. The whole village is unusually quiet in the mountains.

At this time, Shi Lang came over and stood quietly behind Luo Shiyin, as if he had something to say to Luo Shiyin.

"'Wild Rose' is really extraordinary." Without waiting for Shi Lang to speak, Luo Shiyin spoke first.

"My lord, I can't hide anything from your eyes." Shi Lang's tone was full of apologies.

"In fact, during the day in the forest, the moment she pulled out the unique 'life-killing rose thorn' on the rivers and lakes from her waist, I concluded that she was Ye Ruliu, the leader of the Zhejiang Luzhou Salt Gang known as the 'wild rose' in the rivers and lakes." Luo Shiyin spoke very slowly.

"Yes, it's her. I came out with you to tell you why I let her go last year. Shi Lang felt deeply guilty.

"Actually, I know a little bit about this. I have also heard some of the various remarks about Ye Ruliu on the rivers and lakes. When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. I've got some new ideas about this legendary woman, and you might as well tell me a little bit more about her. Luo Shiyin didn't have any blame for Shi Lang.

"Yes, sir, please be seated. I'll tell you more about it. Shi Lang pointed to the stone bench in front of him and said to Luo Shiyin.

Regarding the private release of Ye Ruliu, Shi Lang has always wanted to find an opportunity to explain the original reason to Luo Shiyin. But since he was released from prison, Luo Shiyin didn't seem to be in a hurry to learn about the matter, and Shi Lang didn't find a suitable opportunity to confess to him. Now, through everything that happened today, Shi Lang knew very well in his heart that it was time to confess to the commander everything that had happened between himself and Ye Ruliu.
