Yang Huairen recalled that when a few people walked out of the council hall after delivering lunch to several leaders just now, it was the best time at noon, the fog had dissipated, and standing on the top of the mountain, he could see the entire whole picture of Liangshan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The north and south sides of Yangsan are somewhat steep, while the west and east sides are relatively gentle, especially since there are large flat areas on the mountainside where houses can be built.

The pier is on the west side, and from the pier, there is a one-zhang-wide stone staircase road leading up the hill to the top of the mountain, and at the mountainside are large small houses, forming the main part of the cottage, where most of the thieves also live.

Further up, there are a few small courtyards on both sides of the mountain road, and the small courtyard where Yang Huairen and the others live is about 200 steps away from the top of the mountain.

The largest building on the top of the hill was the council chamber, and the whole top of the hill was only ten zhang square, and further east was a mountain road down the mountain, leading to another mountainside with small houses scattered around, and this area of residence was supposed to be where the chiefs lived.

In such a pattern, Yang Huairen discovered another weakness of Liangshan cottage. Up and down the mountain, in fact, there is only one way, and there is only one way to enter and exit the mountain, and that is the wharf.

This pier is not big, but it is the throat of Liangshan. As long as the dock can be guarded with heavy troops, it is basically equivalent to blocking the entire Liangshan bandits on the mountain.

The problem is that outsiders are not familiar with the complex topography of Yangshan Boli, and the chances of reaching the pier through the labyrinth of reeds are slim.

Li Guangpu also understands this, Liangshan's defense is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and there are normally thirty or forty people on duty on the wharf, and there are also secret sentries and patrol posts in the reeds, which basically ensure that people from outside cannot attack them, but there is no guard on the mountain, just some sporadic patrol posts.

The problem in front of Yang Huairen is also very simple, one is to find a way to separate several leaders and make Liangshan chaotic, and the other is to find a way to enter and exit Liangshan, and to be able to contact the internal guards outside the mountain.

The work in the kitchen can be helped, and the other four people still follow Yang Huairen's instructions to go to the cottage to familiarize themselves with the terrain and see if they can find other loopholes in the cottage that can be exploited.

They went their separate ways and wandered around Liangshan, but no one stopped them, except, of course, the docks.

Xiao Qi's small stature made it easy to hide, and with his good light skills, he decided to go around the top of the mountain and go to the residential area on the east side of the mountain top from the steep side to find out the exact residence of the seven leaders.

The rest of the people wandered around the cottage separately to learn about the living conditions of the Liangshan bandits, such as medical care, food and accommodation.

Xiao Qi quickly found out the situation of the scattered courtyards on the east side of Liangshan, and in addition to the residences of the seven leaders, he found something very strange.

In the cottages to the west, most of them are men, and more than ninety percent of them are young adults between the ages of 16 and 40. In the village on the east side of the mountaintop, there are many old people, women, and even children, who look more like ordinary villagers in a mountain village, without the slightest taste of a bandit's den.

And the seven leaders of Liangshan do not all live here, only Li Guangpu, the third boss and the seventh boss live here, and the remaining four leaders live in several courtyards around the summit hall.

Xuanshen and Tianba's younger brother pretended to have a headache and brain fever found Lang Zhong in the cottage and grabbed two pairs of medicines, just looking at what medicinal materials were in the medicine and the quality of these herbs, Xuanshen could basically understand the general level of Langzhong's medical treatment in the cottage.

When Ke Xiaochuan walked to the northern edge of the cottage, he found that there were hundreds of people digging mountains and opening rocks, and the people working were dressed in tatters, which did not look like bandits, but made him feel like ordinary fishermen in the fishing villages around Liangshanbo.

When he saw a familiar face, he confirmed his suspicion.

That person was when he gathered those half-grown children in Zhujia Village to rob Yang Huairen, one of the middle-aged villagers who stayed in the village, thirty-five or sixteen years old, and everyone in the village called him Fourth Brother Zhu.

Ke Xiaochuan couldn't help but feel his heart tighten when he looked at him sweating and knocking stones with a pickaxe. How did he get up the mountain? More than a month ago, when he left the village and returned to Qizhou, Fourth Brother Zhu was obviously still in Zhujia Village, why was he being guarded here as a coolie now?

He wanted to go up to talk to Fourth Brother Zhu, but when he was still ten steps away from Fourth Brother Zhu, he was stopped by a man with a whip in his hand, and asked if Ke Xiaochuan was a new assistant cook on the mountain, so the man impatiently drove him back to the village, not to delay their work here.

Fourth Brother Zhu heard someone talking behind him, and turned around to see Ke Xiaochuan. But now that Ke Xiaochuan has blackened his face and made his facial features very ugly, he didn't recognize Ke Xiaochuan.

Ke Xiaochuan gave him a look, and motioned for Fourth Brother Zhu to wait for him at the edge of the excavation surface, which was a pile of gravel nearly one person high, and some dry bushes behind it.

Although Fourth Brother Zhu didn't know the black-faced young man in front of him, he understood what he meant, and nodded to Ke Xiaochuan stunned.

When the man with the whip saw Fourth Brother Zhu stop working and looked back at them, he immediately rushed over and viciously raised the leather whip in his hand and whipped it on Fourth Brother Zhu's back, making a crisp sound of "pop".

"You girl, don't you want to be lazy, Lao Tzu will beat you to death."

Fourth Brother Zhu couldn't bear the severe pain, and lay on the ground with a pale face, but the wicked man had no intention of stopping, rolled up his sleeves again, and prepared to continue whipping.

Ke Xiaochuan's heart rushed to the top of his head with a wave of anger, eager to rush up and kill this evil man who beat people, he turned his head to look around at the more than a dozen guards who were also holding whips in their hands, gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to kill.

It's not that he's afraid of the number of them, but he suddenly remembered his current identity, and if he does it now, there will be no surprise that his martial arts and identity will be exposed.

In his heart, it doesn't matter if he is exposed, but after he is exposed, he will destroy Yang Huairen's entire plan, remembering the words that Yang Huairen instructed many times before going up the mountain, if he can't bear it, he will make a big plan, he still took a deep breath and endured it.

Fourth Brother Zhu had a hot pain on his back, but in order not to be whipped a second time, he still endured the severe pain and stood up with one hand, returned to the excavation surface, and barely supported his prostrated body to continue to work.

The wicked man who beat people with a whip in his hand and whipped it the ground, which frightened several working coolies trembling, but the wicked man smiled with a hideous and smug smile: "These slaves are cheap to their daughters and horses, and if they don't whip them hard, they won't work honestly." ”

Ke Xiaochuan tried his best to suppress his urge to kill, turned around and left the stone digging field, and when he was far away, he took advantage of no one to pay attention, jumped into the dead wood on the side of the road, found the right direction, lowered his body and secretly returned to the place agreed with Fourth Brother Zhu just now.
