Everyone waited outside the gate of the cottage for about a moment before they saw the bandits who went in to report hurriedly come out.

Yang Congyi was a little apprehensive in his heart, there were a lot of bandits who went up the mountain after the year, maybe there were fugitives who escaped from Huaining Prison inside, and they had to go in to have a look, whether there were fugitives or not, they should be confirmed. But there are more than ten people in their group, and they need a lot of rations every day, and he really has no confidence that the bandits will take them in.

The bandit came out, and before he got close, Yang Congyi asked anxiously, "Brother, how is it?" What does the boss say? ”

The bandit panted and replied, "The leader didn't see it." But when you see the three leaders, you should wait for a while, and the three leaders will come in person. ”

Yang Congyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although the leader couldn't see it, but the three leaders came out in person, there should still be a play. So he thanked: "Hard work brother." ”

The bandit pushed again and again: "It's not hard. "He is a gatekeeper, and the three leaders have to come out to see him in person, how dare he be too big and neglectful.

Yang Congyi asked again who these three leaders were, and asked clearly in advance, so as to be somewhat mentally prepared, so as not to make any mistakes for a while.

The bandits told him that the three leaders were surnamed Song, very young, and had only been here for a short time, but their origins were not ordinary, and they heard that they were close to one of the peak masters inside, and they were naturally valued by the leaders when they came outside the mountain. However, the three leaders did not sit in this position because of their relationships, he was also strong in martial arts, making him a good gun.

I asked about other things about the three leaders, but the two of them didn't know, they hadn't met the three leaders a few times, and what they said was all rumors.

It didn't take long to see a few people coming out of the village, the first person was empty-handed, dressed in a strong suit, clean and neat, the pace was not slow, vigorous and powerful, not very old, less than twenty-six or seventeen years old, but it still looked relatively stable, without the frivolity of this age, there was no doubt that it was the leader of the Song Dynasty. The few people who followed behind were all followers with knives.

Yang Congyi didn't wait for the other party to walk in, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "In Xiahutouyan Yang Lao Wu, I have seen Leader Song. ”

The young man stopped, stared at Yang Congyi, and asked with some confusion, "Oh, do you know me?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "I didn't know each other before, and I didn't have a chance to see it." I just heard these two brothers talk about it, and when they see the leader with such a demeanor, it must be the leader of Song. ”

Leader Song was surprised, and then asked: "Hutou Rock is not close to Nitou Mountain, and there should be many valleys and caves along the way, why do you come here at the expense of the near and far?" ”

Yang Congyi replied: "Leader Song, you don't know anything. Hutou Rock is outside the mountain, and the government can catch us with a stretch of hands and feet, and it is because of this that we have suffered losses, our brothers have been killed and wounded, and even our homes have been burned by the government. We also wanted to defect to other people, but they knew that we had provoked the government, and they were afraid that the government would trouble them, so they did not dare to take them in. I heard Brother Zhu of Wolf's Head Mountain say that the leader of Nitou Mountain is a righteous person, anxious for justice and righteousness, so we have eaten and slept in the open air, and traveled all the way to defect. ”

Song Tou said: "Zhu Er Mazi from the Spider Cave of Wolf Head Mountain?" He still has some hands, I heard that he is the boss in the area of Wolf's Head Mountain, there are forty or fifty people under him, are you familiar with him? ”

Yang Congyi said: "I don't know very well, but Hutou Rock is not far from his Wolf Head Mountain, he is very powerful in that area, and I have visited him a few times, and I have some friendship." ”

Leader Song asked again: "Since you have a relationship with Zhu Er Mazi, why don't you go to him?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "To be honest, friendship is some friendship, but we only have a slight friendship, and when we were in Hutouyan, we also had more than 30 people, which was not much worse than him." Even if we lose, we have more than a dozen brothers, go to his spider cave, he doesn't dare to accept it, and we can't lower this head, so we will come to defect. ”

As soon as Leader Song heard Yang Congyi say this, he nodded, and then said, "Let's go in and say, please." ”

Yang Congyi was secretly happy in his heart, and it seemed that he could stay in the cottage. Hurriedly said: "Leader Song, please." ”

The leader of Song was no longer polite, turned around first, and walked towards the village. Yang Congyi quickly followed, half a step behind. Others followed.

Leader Song glanced at his eyes and saw that Yang Cong's spear did not leave his hand, so he asked with some curiosity: "Leader Yang also made a spear?" ”

Yang Congyi hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be the leader, Leader Song can call me Yang Lao Wu." Then he replied: "I've learned the spear for a while, but it's not a trick, it's just self-defense." ”

Leader Song smiled: "I also happened to learn the spear for a while, let's try it another day?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "I am the crop style, practice casually, and I can't compare with the leader of Song." However, it would be a great honor if I could learn a few tricks from Tou Song. ”

Song Tou said: "It's easy to say, try it and then talk about it." ”

As soon as you enter the village, the layout of the entire cottage is clear at a glance. The cottage is built on the gentle slope at the back of the mountain, and the main buildings extend from the top of the hill all the way down to the gentle slope, about two miles down to the bottom of the slope, and then one point left and right, along the gentle slope and spread to the other two hills. Three hills, descending a gentle slope, meet at a low point in the middle, and at the intersection of the three mountains is a flat land of considerable area, with many houses built, and a vacant lot in the middle. Many of these buildings could not be built in a year and a half, and it took a lot of effort to think of them.

Yang Congyi couldn't help but praise: "It's really a big deal, it's an eye-opener, this blockbuster foundation will take many years." ”

Leader Song smiled: "This cottage has been built for more than ten years before it has what it is today." ”

Yang Congyi then praised: "Compared with this, Hutou Rock and Spider Cave are all dog kennels, this is where people should live." ”

Leader Song shook with a smile: "This is nothing, if you have the opportunity to go into the mountains, you will know what the style is." ”

Yang Congyi hurriedly said: "Leader Song went to the mountain? I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and if I have the chance next time, can the leader take me in and open my eyes? ”

Song Tou said: "It's easy to say, as long as you follow me and work hard, you can go anywhere." ”

Yang Congyi was overjoyed, follow him? Is this trio recruiting people and accumulating power? This is a good opportunity. So he hurriedly replied: "If I can live in peace on the mountain, I, Yang Lao Wu, am willing to listen to the orders of the Song leader, but the Song leader is the head of the horse." ”

Song Tou said: "It's easy to say, but it depends on how much ability you have." ”

Yang Congyi replied: "I don't have much ability, I have two strengths, and my brain is okay." ”

Leader Song smiled: "These two things are enough." Then without waiting for Yang Congyi to say anything, he said directly: "Don't say anything, I'll take you to see the leader first." As he spoke, he quickened his pace and walked down the mountain.

Descending the gentle slope, through the flat square in the middle of the slope, and walking towards the round hill on the left, the gentle steps are lined with houses of masonry and wood, some completely new, some old and renovated. If you look closely, the houses are a little rough and unsightly, and they are naturally incomparable with the fine houses in the city. However, those who go up to the mountains to be bandits, even if they can have a house to live in, they are very powerful, and they can only live in dark and damp caves if they mix poorly.

There are a lot of houses on the mountain, and there should be no problem at all for two or three hundred people to live, and the power of this nipple mountain seems to be not small.

I walked for almost two quarters of an hour before I reached the top of the mountain. This top of the hill is different from the previous one, there is a large piece of flat land on the top, more houses are built, walk in and see, there are window flowers carved on the window, I don't know how much finer than the house under the mountain, but look at the color of the house, it should not be built in recent years, not to mention more than ten years. The mountain where the leader lives is different, Yang Congyi sighed in his heart.

After approaching an independent mansion with Leader Song, he came to the door, only to see him suddenly stop and say, "Yang Lao Wu, this is the leader's residence, you wait here first, tell you to come in again, don't run around." ”

Yang Congyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Leader Song, we will wait here for the leader's orders." ”

Leader Song raised his feet and went straight in.

Yang Congyi and Zhong Zhuhai stood in front of the door without saying a word, for fear that they would say the wrong thing and be heard and reveal their identity.

On the road in front of the door, people passed by from time to time, and they saw that the leaders were in front of the door with dirty clothes and messy hair, and they did not know from which corner they came to defect, and they came up the mountain to eat mixed rice, and their faces showed disdain, and they did not make any stops.

Yang Congyi turned a blind eye to the bandits' faces, and when he was caught quickly, he quickly stopped them with his eyes. They are here to find out the news, but they are not here to be vindictive, and they can endure the anger for a while before they can succeed.

It didn't take long for him to see a bandit walk out of the door, and when he saw Yang Congyi and others, he shouted: "You guys are from Hutou Rock?" ”

Yang Congyi replied: "Yes, we are." ”

I heard the bandit shout again: "Who is Yang Lao Wu, come in with me to see the leader." ”

Yang Congyi took a step forward and said with a smile: "It's hard work." ”

The bandit glanced at Yang Congyi and said, "Put down the swords and guns, and you come in alone." ”

Yang Congyi said hello, handed over the knife and gun to the catcher beside him, and instructed them: "You guys are waiting here, don't walk around, wait for me to come out." ”

The crowd nodded yes and stood aside to wait.

Seeing that Yang Congyi had put down all his weapons, the bandits said, "Follow me." With that, he turned and entered the door.

Yang Congyi walked up the steps quickly and followed closely. Whether or not you can stay on the mountain depends on the leader, I don't know if this leader is as good at talking as Leader Song.

Walk into the door, bypass the wall, is not a small yard, there are flowers and trees planted around the courtyard left and right, unknown eyes, to see the flowers bloom gorgeously, float to a light fragrance, the branches and leaves are green, at a glance you feel cool, at first glance, it seems very elegant. But if you look closely, you can see that there is a weapon rack placed under the tree, and there are swords, guns, swords, halberds and sticks on the shelf, and all the commonly used weapons are complete, so that the whole courtyard reveals a restless atmosphere, which is a little weird.

Across the courtyard, you will find the main hall.

At this time, the door of the main hall was wide open, and the sound of talking came from inside, mixed with hearty laughter from time to time.
