Liu Shengli asked the lightly wounded to hold the seriously wounded and sit on their horses, and the unwounded soldiers led a few horses by themselves, preparing to buy some civilian clothes to wear after approaching the villages and towns, and then find Lang Zhong to buy some medicine. I was walking less than twenty miles, and I saw a big man walking by the side of the road, and he looked this way with his probe. When Liu Shengli saw that he was suspected of being a spy of the officers and soldiers, he led someone to ride over and surrounded him in a circle.

The man was not afraid, looked left and right at Liu Shengli and a few others and asked, "What are you doing around me?" I don't know you! ”

Liu Shengli was afraid that he was a spy of officers and soldiers, so he deliberately deceived him and said: "You are sneaky, with fierce eyes, I think it must be Liang Shanbo's spy, arrest and interrogate!" ”

The man laughed when he heard this, and said nonchalantly: "I want to be a hero of Liangshan, but do they want me like this?" You don't want to think about it, if I were a hero in Liangshan, I wouldn't beat you all over the ground to find teeth! ”

Liu Shengli said again: "Then you are a spy of the imperial court?" I don't know what the business is here? As he spoke, he arched his hand on his horse.

The man showed a dissatisfied look and said, "I don't bother to enter the public door, and I have no intention of being in the company of wolves!" Bah! Bah! Bah! He spat and said: "Hugh has to compare me with them, and spread it to the rivers and lakes, and I will be laughed at by the heroes!" ”

Liu Shengli saw that this self-proclaimed anxious man did not have any sense of protection, and he did not feel that he had put himself in danger, and he did not have any scheming, so it can be seen that he is an upright man, and he will definitely not be a spy of officers and soldiers.

He looked at Jiao Ting's bronzed skin, burly figure, full of explosive power, as if he had an enmity with everyone, his eyes were full of hostility, and he looked like he was rushing over desperately at any time. He liked this stunned look a little, so he asked, "Since it's nothing, why are you hiding here?" ”

Jiao Ting still said in the same way as a big lama: "You take care of the heavens and the earth and take care of other people's walking, and this road is not built by your family, why are you shouting here, asking long and short questions?" ”

In the face of the naked provocation, the Liangshanbo warriors couldn't help but get angry, and the two warriors dismounted and rushed to Jiao Ting and captured him. Who knew that Jiao Ting was agile, and kicked a soldier in the lower abdomen first, and the soldier covered his abdomen with his hands and lay down on his back. Seeing this, the other warrior flew up and kicked over, Jiao Ting took a step back, grabbed the warrior's ankle with his right hand and pulled it, and his body took advantage of the situation to crash into him, and the warrior fell to the ground.

Immediately, the rest of the soldiers dismounted and surrounded Jiao Ting, waiting for Liu Shengli to give the order. Jiao Ting was not afraid, he said angrily: "Let's fight one by one, come two to fight a pair, the master will show you the tiger fists and kicks today!" ”

Liu Shengli saw that he was extraordinary, not afraid of danger, and was a man who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he was even more happy in his heart. He said: "The hero is so bold, why not go to our cottage, there is a chance to show his skills!" ”

Jiao Ting looked at everyone for a while and said: "If it's a well-known cottage, I'll join it, and if it's a cottage like a dog and a cat, Hugh has to mention it!" ”

Liu Shengli smiled, this Jiao Ting is really a tendon bull, he smiled: "I wonder if Liang Shanbo can accept Your Excellency's big Buddha?" ”

Jiao Ting was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Are you really a good man in Liangshanbo?" Ah! I have always admired the name of Song Gongming, and I wanted to go to Shuibo several times, but no one was introduced to me, and I didn't want to meet someone who was destined today. Jiao Ting has seen all the heroes, please bear with me if you are offended! As he spoke, he hugged his fists and made a circle, his face was full of joy, like a child who had found his mother.

Liu Shengli smiled: "If you don't fight, you don't know each other!" Saying that, he got off the horse and took Jiao Ting's hand and said: "We didn't know each other before, but today we are a family, what are you polite!" What industry did the Jiao Ting brothers do before? Where are you going in a hurry now? ”

Jiao Ting said: "The villain was originally a native of Zhongshan Mansion, sumo wrestling for a living, ancestral tiger fists and feet, passed down from father to son, not to teach disciples." The villain disdains to enter the public gate, and there is no way, he throws people everywhere and hits the wall, the most faceless in his life, and the heroes on the rivers and lakes call me to be faceless and anxious. Recently, I received a message from my friend Bao Xu, the god of mourning, that he robbed his house in Dry Tree Mountain and invited me to join there! ”

After speaking, he said: "I don't know the names of all good Henkels? Yangsan is in Jeju, how did you get here? "Come on

Liu Shengli said: "Liu Shengli, the commander of the cavalry platoon in Xialiang Mountain, these are cavalry soldiers, and the wounded are on the horse. Dadao Guan Sheng led his troops to attack Liangshanbo, and Lingzhou Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo led their troops to fight together. We came to slow down their march on the orders of Staff Officer Wu, and we didn't want to be deceived by Wei Dingguo today, and we were burned by him. I led the wounded to a safe place and waited until they had recovered before joining the group. I didn't want to run into Brother Jiao Ting here, and I said that I was a government spy, and I was afraid of revealing our whereabouts, so I intercepted and inquired. ”

After hearing this, Jiao Ting said: "Dry Tree Mountain is not far from here, and you can reach it in one day by riding a fast horse." Why don't we go to Dry Tree Mountain to heal the wounded, and at the same time persuade Brother Bao Xu to lead the crowd to join the gang and strengthen the prestige of my Liangshan Bo! ”

Liu Shengli was overjoyed when he heard this, if he led a group of men and horses to help the head of the regiment and endlessly dragged the people of Lingzhou endlessly, it would be a great achievement. He readily agreed.

Jiao Ting was even more elated, he said: "There is a market town not far ahead, ask a few brothers and me to hire a carriage, you go slowly along the way, we will rush to meet you, and then go up to the Dry Tree Mountain together!" ”

Shangguan Anbang was almost so angry that he was blown up, and there was no principle.

He was not allowed to sleep at night, and he was not allowed to walk quickly during the day, and he did not come to fight, and he turned around and ran away. If you don't chase him, you will stick it again in a blink of an eye, just like a fly on a banquet, it will fly away as soon as you catch it, and fly to peep at the delicious food in the blink of an eye, which is not very annoying, but there is nothing to do, you can only wave your arms to drive away.

This is nothing, the good official road was forced by them to dig deep and wide ravines, and they either trapped pits or buried some iron nails along the way.

Recently, a kind of explosive jar was buried, and the soldiers were afraid to move forward, so they could only sacrifice their horses and pull the wooden poles forward. Moreover, sometimes the road ahead seems to be full of potholes, but the horses rush over it unharmed, and sometimes the road ahead seems to be flat, but the soldiers walk past it but the sound of explosions repeatedly, which directly causes the officers and men to have nervous headaches. The journey is only a dozen miles in a day.

The thieves became more and more rampant, and the cavalry casually rushed within dozens of paces, shot arrows for a while and turned away, and when the officers and soldiers opened their positions to shoot, he had already run out of range. Sending troops to pursue, if there is less, you can't come back, and if you have more, won't you be led back the same way?

The same scene also plagued the soldiers and horses of Lingzhou, who thought that Wei Dingguo would be able to stop the thieves and that the army could advance quickly, but who knew that the resistance encountered on the road was dozens of times greater than before. Wei Dingguo had no choice but to order the army to slow down, and the most important thing was to reach Liangshanbo safely.

A mountain of dead trees, a mountain full of dead trees.

There is no shortage of water in the Dead Tree Mountain, and in spring, the mountain is full of life, but strangely there are many dead trees.

The fact that there are many dead trees on the dry tree mountain is a major feature of this mountain, and the fact that the dead trees do not dry is a greater feature of this mountain.

A dead tree is not a dead tree, it shows an indomitable character everywhere, challenging the limits of life.

Every spring, the spring rain falls, the withered tree mountain is dressed in green, and the withered trees are also striving for greenery with the grass. Some of the dead branches are all withered, all the leaves are withered, but a few green side branches emerge from the thick stems, so as to announce the existence of life to the world. Some dead trees seem to have their main stems and branches all yellow, and the top tips are sparsely spread out with green leaves, smiling proudly at the highest point of the tree, clamoring for immortal life. Some of the dead trees had a large hole in their trunks that anyone could walk through, but their branches showed a vigorous green color...... In short, the dead trees of the Dead Tree Mountain have their own forms, and the images are ever-changing, and they are so varied.

The people on the withered tree mountain are just like this withered tree, although they have endured wind, rain, snow and frost for a long time, they still stand. How many times have the officers and soldiers of Kouzhou surrounded and suppressed, and they only had one breath left like this dead tree, but they still occupied this mountain. And the more you fight, the more people you fight, the stronger the cohesion.

Because there is jealousy and hatred in Dry Tree Mountain, Bao Xu, who dares to stand up for the poor people and dare to kill bullies and abuse officials, is regarded by the government as a demon and is called the god of mourning.

Bao Xu has a black face and beard, blue eyes and broad lips, and a fierce appearance, looking like a ghost hunter Zhong Kui. Since occupying the mountain, there have been dozens of battles of all sizes, and the fame has been resounding all over Kouzhou. The people who were oppressed by the government to the point that they had no way out came to join the gang, and now there are nearly 2,000 people, and the strength cannot be underestimated.
