Song Shijiang immediately decided to go back to Liangshan to meet the jade banner Meng Kang and the money leopard Tang Long, both of whom stayed in Liangshan at the time, but did not follow Shouzhang County. It's a pity that thinking that everything is busy now, Wu Yonggong, Sun Sheng, Li Ying, and others are busy counting the population and inventorying the land, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, and others are busy recruiting and training troops, and distributing people, and the battalion owners and deputy generals are busy selecting and training people.

"Okay, I'll go back by myself. I must make arrangements for these talents. Song Shijiang thought so. So he called: "Come, quickly call Hua Rong to see me." He handed over the matter of the Guards Battalion to Lu Fang Guo Sheng to deal with. ”

Before long, Xiao Li Guanghuarong hurriedly entered the lobby. I saw that Hua Rong, Xu was in a hurry, although it was late autumn and early winter, the air was quite cool and sweaty, this Xiao Li Guang was about one meter eight, born with a pair of handsome eyes, white teeth and red lips, eyebrows flying into the sideburns, thin waist and arms, wearing silver helmet and silver armor, hanging a scarlet cloak. He inserted a silver gun in the weapon rack at the entrance of the county government hall, and asked, "Brother Gongming, why are you calling me in such a hurry?" ”

"Brother Xian, how is the Guards Battalion arranged?" Song Jiang asked.

"It's good to teach my brother to know. Brother Lin Chong's training camp is really lively, and everyone has to choose young, strong and brave people to fight for a breakthrough. The loss is that Lin Chong's brother has already thought about subdivision, those who are good at water enter the water army, Orion follows the treasure and treasure, the good rider enters the horse army, the good runner enters the infantry army, the bold and spicy one follows Li Kui, and the weak and careful follow Hu Sanniang. Hua Rong walked to a few cases, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Song Jiang, and then poured himself a cup, and drank it without fear of being hot.

"Be careful." Song Jiang smiled: "What about your guard battalion?" ”

Hua Rong replied, "The first condition of the Guards Battalion is loyalty. The people that my brother Tolin Chong chose for me are all loyal and resolute people with innocent backgrounds, and those who have bad deeds do not want it, and those who are not clear do not want it, and the others are not particular. Now Lu Fang Guo Sheng is training, the two of them are young, and it is just right to take more responsibility. ”

Song Shijiang praised: "Yes, I don't have to worry about you doing things, brother Xian." After drinking this tea, you and I will set off. ”

"Where to go?"

"Go back to Liangshan."

Liangshan to Shouzhang seventy or eighty miles, but not very far, if it is a flat avenue, you can reach it in an hour. However, there is no direct official road between Liangshan and Shouzhang in the Han Dynasty, but there are a few official roads to Fan County and Juye County that can be interspersed occasionally, and there are mostly barren slopes and lush forests along the way.

Song Shijiang was in front of Hua Rong in the back, riding a horse and galloping between the mountain roads. In the near winter, the trees in the mountains have lost their leaves, and the trunks of the trees are either curved or stretched straight to the sky, outlining strong lines. Looking out through the gaps in the mesh of these lines, the nature of the near winter shows a fantastic and mysterious charm.

Suddenly, there were a few rude shouts and the clashing of soldiers and irons from the front. Song Shijiang and Hua Rongju stopped.

"Straight lady thief, only such a little money. Look at how you look like a person, why do you have this money? The shouting continued.

"This brother is in a hurry to go out of the door, and he doesn't take it with him. Why don't you wait for the first place, and then double the gold when you go home? A clear voice sounded, flustered but calm.

"Damn, the ghost will believe you and take off your clothes. It's worth a little bit of money. Another rude, hoarse voice rang out.

"A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. If so, you might as well kill someone and take your own clothes. Qing Lang scolded angrily.

Looking through the woods, a sloppy man dressed in a yellow scarf raised his waist knife and slashed at a man in green clothes. ”

Song Jiang nodded to Hua Rong, and Hua Rong pulled up the carved bow and arrows to shoot at the sloppy man. The arrow was as fast as lightning and as fast as a meteor, and before the waist knife fell, the Yellow Turban Rogues fell down and stopped moving. Straight to the next few yellow turban rogues were taken aback, and they all immediately bent down and prostrate on the ground with knives.

Hua Rong grabbed the horse's back and galloped up with a gun.

"Who's coming? Dare to mess with grandpa? The Yellow Turban Liukou called out in a trembling voice.

"That's your grandfather." Hua Rong chuckled and continued to ride forward.

The crowd looked up and saw that there was only one person and one horse, and it was a handsome young man with a white face, and they were all relieved. Everyone got up, raised their knives and guns, and scolded and scolded: "Straight girl, I'm afraid it's not a girl." Come, let Grandpa cut you. ”

Hua Rong was furious, and no longer talked, and the silver spear shook a spear and stabbed at one of the rogues. "Poof", the yellow turban rogue didn't have time to block, the silver spear had already pierced the thief's throat, blood splashed out, and he was killed. The rest of the rogues were shocked, and they all turned around and fled. Hua Rong rode the horse, poked one accurately, and overturned the lives of several people.

Song Shijiang also turned around and said to the man in green clothes: "This brother, the thief has been executed, you can pick up the money and things and go yourself, be careful all the way." ”

The man must have been in his thirties, wearing a soft gauze scarf, a blue shirt, a plum and green belt around his waist, three strands of beard, a clear appearance, and a red-maned and white-hoofed horse. He saw that Song Shijiang should be the main master, so he saluted and said: "Chen Gong thanks the two generals for saving their lives. I beg the two beneficians to leave their names, and if I have the opportunity, I will repay them. ”

"What? Chen Gong, are you Chen Gong? Song Shijiang was shocked at the moment.
