According to Wang Yong's teaching, Zhu Gui opened a hotel at the foot of the mountain, or arranged a guy who could write down what happened in a day on paper, or arranged a good memory to record what happened in a day, and recorded it in his head, and then he visited each store in turn every day to understand the total, so that he could open a few more hotels and establish a huge news network nearby, and he could be much easier.

On this day, Zhu Gui was sitting and watching chess in the old shop, and as soon as the door curtain was raised, a strange-looking man hurriedly came in and shouted to Xiao Er: "Man! Beat a pound of wine, cut two pounds of cooked beef, and come with peanuts for one or two dollars. ”

After Zhu Gui heard it, he couldn't help but raise his head violently and looked at the man, in this era, there are no peanuts, Wang Yong taught people to fry soybeans and burst the mouth, and sent the news to Chai Jin, Chao Gai and others.

Zhu Gui walked over and said with a smile: "I don't know if my friend is from the north or from the east?" ”

The man looked at Zhu Gui and saw that he was extraordinary, so he saluted back: "Xiao Ke Jiaoting, but he is from the north." ”

Zhu Gui couldn't help but be awe-struck, and said: "It turned out to be Brother Jiao, Xiao Ke Zhu Gui, I often hear our second village master talk about Brother Jiao's name, come, come, let's talk in the back." At that moment, he led Jiao Ting to the water pavilion, and then asked people to arrange a portion of wine and food.

Jiao Ting said a little anxiously: "Leader Zhu, I don't know if my old brother is on the mountain?" I came to beg him on the orders of the Chai officials. ”

Zhu Gui saw that Jiao Ting was in a hurry, so he said: "Brother Jiao, don't be in a hurry, like this; I'll call it a boat, and as soon as the boat arrives, we'll go up the mountain!" After saying that, he hurried into the water pavilion, and in the direction of the mountain, he cast an arrow and called the sentry ship to come.

Jiao Ting was so anxious that he didn't even eat the wine and food that came up, and when he saw the boat coming, he immediately pulled Zhu Gui and left, heading towards Liangshan.

At this time, Wang Yong was holding a family banquet, Su Yi held the dowry of Su Jinniang and Sun Erniang, and when he arrived in Liangshan, he was not willing to have dealings with other village owners, so he went to Wang Yong's small home, Wang Yong also knew his high level, so he didn't bring others over, so he set up a small banquet in his own home, and took Su Jinniang and Sun Erniang as companions, and ate wine there.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Su Yi said to Su Jinniang: "Sister, I came back after the New Year in the capital, and my father sent me a letter, I am very dissatisfied with you not going back for the New Year." ”

Su Jinniang bit her lower lip lightly and said in a low voice: "I look like this, can I grow back?" ”

Wang Yong coughed dryly and said, "That'...... One, one day, invite the old man to the mountains to play. ”

Su Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Excuse me, if my father knows that his daughter is a wife of the village, he will have to die of anger." ”

Wang Yong saw Su Jinniang's mood bowing his head, and couldn't help but raise his hand to give Su Yi a head melon, and scolded: "Can't you say a few words!" ”

Su Yi glared at Wang Yong, and then said, "Sister, if you have time, you should go home and have a look, anyway, you are not on the record, and there will be no major incident." ”

Su Jinniang nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know everything." ”

While they were talking, a little minions walked in, saluted Wang Yong, and said, "Back to the village master, Zhu Leader took a man named Jiao Ting up the mountain, saying that he was from the north and wanted to see you." ”

Wang Yong was stunned for a moment and said, "Sixth Brother Jiao is here?" He said to Su Yi: "You drink here first, I'll go and see." ”

Sun Erniang hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go with you." Su Yi was also about to talk to Su Jinniang, so he nodded and said, "Okay, you can go." ”

Wang Yong took Sun Erniang out, and hurried to the Juyi Hall, where he saw Han Bolong talking with Jiao Ting, and Bao Xu, who was in charge of the three passes in front of the mountain, also came back, and was also in the hall, but Zhu Gui was at the bottom.

Wang Yong stepped forward and said, "Sixth brother, why are you here?" ”

Jiao Ting said: "Old brother, it's like this, Chai Gui, the clansman who was crowned the king in Yunnan, has gone north, and is going to compete with Chai Daguan for his iron scroll, this time he made very preparations, and wrote the rules for the competition to win the Danshu iron scroll in advance, saying that it is to compete in five games, and the winner of the five games can keep the Danshu iron scroll, and one person can only compete once." ”

Wang Yong frowned, and said, "This is knowing the existence of you and Second Brother Wu, and deliberately targeting you!" ”

Jiao Ting nodded and said: "That's right, the big officials also felt that something was wrong, so they asked people to inquire about the news, and then I knew that the head of the family guard, Hong Yan, who was admired by the big officials at the beginning, had already served Chai Gui, and the identities of me and Second Brother Wu were passed on by him to that Chai Gui." ”

Wang Yong frowned and said, "What about Hong Yan's martial arts?" ”

Jiao Ting said: "When he came, the two of us competed in boxing, he beat me in thirty, and later fought with the second brother Wu, at that time the big official said that he wanted to recruit him, the second brother Wu left mercy, and the two of them also fought for thirty rounds, and finally drawn, Hong Yan was not convinced, and the second brother was more than a stick, the second brother annoyed him and didn't know how to advance or retreat, Shihe forced him to be in a hurry, or the big officials saw it, stopped the second brother, after the fight, he was in front of the second brother, he has always been honest, dare not be arrogant, but not in front of the second brother, he is arrogant, Later, he challenged Lin Jiaotou, but was secretly signaled by the big officials to knock Lin Jiaotou to the ground, and left Zhuangzi. ”

Wang Yong thought about it, this Hong Yan also has some ability, and he should have the ability of about eight horses, so he said: "Then this competition, will he participate?" ”

Jiao Ting shook his head and said, "Without him." As far as we know, he was under Chai Gui, and he was only regarded by Chai Gui as a spy who knew the big officials, and he didn't really use it, in fact, he was under Chai Gui, and he couldn't be ranked at all. ”

Wang Yong couldn't help but gasp, and rated Hong Yan as the eight poles, which should be counted as the bonus of "Guben Water Margin", but even if there is no such bonus, Hong Yan is enough to reach the level of Xiaoxiao Biao, and he can't even rank in Chai Gui's hands, so what kind of fierce people are Chai Gui's subordinates.

Jiao Ting saw Wang Yong's thoughts, so he said: "Chai Gui has set out all the people who are fighting this time, it is the five tiger generals under him, I heard that they are all from the barbarian tribe in Nanzhong, and they were recruited by him to his subordinates. ”

Wang Yong said: "You tell me, these five of them." ”

Jiao Ting said: "The first" Shangshan Tiger "Meng Lin, it is said that it was the Three Kingdoms, the descendants of the Southern King Meng Shu, so that a pair of big axes, brave and invincible, the second called "Xiashan Tiger" Zhu Yan, I heard that Meng Lin's cousin, good at making a long standard, the third called "Fengshan Tiger" A Zuolai, so that a truncated knife, once in the mountains, fighting two leopards, unscathed, the fourth called "Zhenshan Tiger" E Yongzhou, so that a pair of halberds, people say that Rudian Wei is alive, the fifth is called' Baoshan Tiger's Yang Shengfeng, good at using a pair of swords, these five people followed Chai Gui to kill and retreat the Tufan army, and were rated as five tigers by the people of Nanzhong, according to our informant, Hong Yan and the five of them have all made moves, and none of them can go on forty rounds. ”

Wang Yong's expression couldn't help but become solemn, walking around the hall with his hands behind his back, Jiao Ting continued: "These news are all passed on to us by Chai Gui, he said that the big officials can ask for helpers at will, he will go to the uncle Zhuang of the big officials in Gaotang Prefecture in Duanyang in May, and then compete in martial arts, originally the big officials thought that with me and the second brother Wu they would be able to win, but now it seems that the second brother Wu can still fight, I am bound to lose, the big officials have no choice, so let me invite your brother to you, let you take someone over to lie down." ”

Wang Yong said irritably: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to get many available people here!" As he spoke, he turned back to Han Bolong and said: "Leader Han, you see the head of the Lin sect, Du Tongzhi, one only did a big case in Cangzhou, it was when the shadow figure was taken in Sixiali, he still had a golden seal on his face, this is unacceptable, Du Tongzhi has been an officer in the Daimyo Mansion, although Gaotang Prefecture is still far from the Daimyo Mansion, but every move in the house of the Chai Daguan will alarm the official government, I am afraid that he will be recognized by the time, Master Lu is better, Gao Yu has no evidence of his crime, so he did not send someone to take him in the four places, I am counted as one." , plus Second Brother Wu, but this is still a short person. ”

Bao Xu couldn't help but shout: "Good brother, you forgot me." ”

Wang Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Fifth brother, it's not that I forgot you, but ......." ”

When Bao Xu heard what he meant, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he shouted, "Brother Xian, am I just so unreassuring to you?" ”

Wang Yong hurriedly said: "Brother, don't get me wrong, that Hong Sect Head can win the sixth brother in thirty times, but under the hands of the five tiger generals, he can't go for forty rounds, you ...... this." ”

"That's it!" Bao Xu waved his hand and said: "Don't say it, I must go, even if I die there, I will not admit defeat, if you don't take me, I will go by myself." ”

Han Bolong said at this time: "That Hong Sect Leader is under the hands of the Five Tiger Generals, and he can't pass forty rounds, and this is also what they said, not necessarily accurate, you can bring Brother Bao." ”

Wang Yong was helpless, nodded and said, "Okay, then call everyone, I'll say it, and then leave immediately." ”

After Wang Yong and the others arrived, they told Chai Jin about asking for help, and then said: "Chai Daguan has a great favor to our cottage, we can't ignore it, I have discussed it with Leader Han, so I asked Master Lu, Brother Bao and I to go together." ”

Su Jinniang suddenly said: "Erzhai master, is it that this time you go down the mountain, there are more people who have no murders?" ”

Wang Yong nodded and said, "Exactly, but the other party is ruthless, so ......." ”

"Then I don't have a murder case in my body, I don't know if I can take a trip!" Su Jinniang interrupted Wang Yong's words and said, Wang Yong actually knew her thoughts when she spoke just now, and wanted to refuse, but she still said it first, Wang Yong was helpless, and said: "They are all ruthless, I'm afraid you are not their opponent." ”

Su Jinniang said unconvinced: "I haven't compared, how do you know that I am not their opponent, the second village master is too arbitrary." ”

Wang Yong said again: "Your women's army has just formed an army, so it's better not to leave." ”

Su Jinniang immediately turned back to Sun Erniang and said, "Sister, you went down the mountain with the officials, and this time you will change me, you stay on the mountain and take the female army with you, okay?" ”

Before Sun Erniang could speak, Su Jinniang said again: "Good sister, anyway, their new training has to learn fist and foot kung fu before they can get on the horse, even if you help me bring it." ”

Sun Erniang really had no choice, so she had to nod her head in response, Wang Yong looked at Su Jinniang and couldn't help but have a headache, he really didn't want Su Jinniang to go, it was too dangerous, Su Jinniang saw Wang Yong's thoughts, and said: "If you let me go, I will move my little brother and go with me." ”

Wang Yong's heart moved, Su Yi is a tiger general, and Su Yi uses a halberd, he can also teach him some, and the hope of winning is greater, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I'll take you with me." ”

At this time, Jiao Ting said: "Old brother, I think you can take Commander Du with you, as long as your spotted caterpillar is wiped again." ”

Wang Yong slapped his thigh and said, "I forgot." "So I turned back to Du Yan, Commander Du, you can go with us."

Du Yan didn't have anything to say, and said: "It's nothing to take a trip, as long as you can let me cover my face, then it's nothing." ”

Wang Yong said: "You don't have to worry about this, it's naturally on my body, but your folding tree spear can't be brought, otherwise it will be easy to be seen." ”

Du Yan said: "This is also easy, Chai Daguan's family should not be short of a good spear, just choose another one." ”

Lin Chong said: "In the house of the Chai official, there is a Xuantie Zhangba snake spear, which is said to have been left by Zhang Yide back then, and the official wanted to give it to me, but I came to the mountain, it is not good to bring that thing, and Commander Du can make that spear." ”

Wang Yong clapped his hands and said, "That's good, when we come back, let's turn this spear back to Lin Jiaotou." ”

At that moment, Han Bolong led people to prepare, and asked Wang Yong and them to dress up as merchants, and hide their weapons and armor in the goods.

Originally, Su Yi didn't want to go, but he was repeatedly asked by Su Jinniang, and he didn't want to go back to let his father scold him, so he followed, but Su Yi is a serious martial artist, and he can bring weapons and armor with him, so he doesn't have to hide them, which is much better than Wang Yong.

Three days later, Wang Yong and Du Yi pretended to be merchants, Su Jinniang pretended to be a concubine to do all the way, Su Yi still dressed as a martial artist, and took their subordinates to be companions.

On this day, the three people arrived at the edge of the Yellow River, ready to cross the river to the north, to Gaotang Prefecture, today there are more people crossing the river on the bank of the Yellow River, some chaotic, Wang Yong knows that his people are some ruthless goods, but he is afraid that they will not agree, and they will fight with others, so they restrain their own people, all retreat away from the river bank, waiting for an empty boat to go.

A few people were bored on the shore, and one of the minions beat two partners and made a fortune with eight dollars.

The three minions robbed twice, and one of them lost hard, so he grabbed all the money on his body and shouted: "Wu Liu, do you dare to fight with me?" We're going to gamble all the money I have. ”

That Wu Liu won a lot, and he didn't want to gamble anymore, so he said, "Forget it." Saying that he was about to take it, the minions who were in a hurry to lose shouted: "Don't leave if you win, don't you rely if you lose, don't you even know this?" ”

Wu Liu was helpless, so he had to take out the eight copper coins and said: "Let's bet on one door, it's all words, that is, you win, it's all rivers, that is, I won, if there are words and rivers, even if it's a tie, we won't play anymore, what do you think?" ”

This Wu Liu thought that it was not easy to turn his face, so he counted it like this, eight dollars in one hand, all of them were one side, whether it was a word or a river, it was not an easy task, most of the situations were counted, there were words and rivers, as long as he threw out like this, then everyone had nothing to say, and he could still hold it in his hand.

Sure enough, the anxious minion said, "Okay, just listen to you." ”

Wu Liu folded the money word by word, and then said: "If you want to gamble, I will count you as the banker, and you can throw it." ”

The soldier who lost in a hurry, without saying a word, grabbed the money and threw it down, eight copper coins dripping and turning on the ground, and I couldn't see it at first, but gradually the eight copper coins poured seven, and they were all rivers, and the face of the soldier who lost in a hurry was ugly, and he couldn't help but stare at the last money that was still turning, and he didn't want to win, just thinking about not losing.

The last money kept turning, and suddenly hit a drip, and it was about to fall, and it was a word that appeared, and the soldier and Wu Liu, who were in a hurry, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, but at this time, a man flashed over on the side and shouted: "River, river, river!" I don't know what happened, but with his shout, the copper coin turned on the spot, and when it fell, it was really a river.

The two soldiers were stunned at the same time, and then the soldier who was in a hurry returned his hand and grabbed the person who shouted the river, and scolded: "Our brother is playing here, how many are you coming...... Yes! Before he could finish speaking, he was grabbed by the wrist by the man who shouted and fell out.

Wu Liu and the others didn't care about the money, so they jumped up together and surrounded the man.

When Wang Yong heard the sound, he saw that the person who was surrounded was a man in his thirties with a yellow and white face, who would be surrounded by a few soldiers and was not afraid, holding a long cloth bag in his hand, looking at his people proudly.

Wang Yong walked over, separated the soldiers, and arched his hand: "This friend, my companion didn't offend you, right?" Why are you beating people? ”

The man said coldly: "His dirty hands are about to catch me, haven't you offended me yet?" ”

Wang Yong smiled and said, "It seems that your body is not clean!" "He can be regarded as having been in the green forest for a long time, and he can see at a glance that this person is also a green forest, since it is a green forest, then he must have some criminal records, so he deceived him.

The yellow-faced man was not fooled, and said, "I have just washed it, and it is very clean." ”

Wang Yong snorted coldly and said, "I don't think so, let me touch it!" As he spoke, he took a step forward and grabbed the chest of the yellow-faced man, the yellow-faced man snorted coldly, and the long cloth bag that was originally on the ground was rolled up and swept towards Wang Yong's chest, he was also very good, and it was obvious at a glance that Wang Yong's martial arts were definitely above that minion, and he would never get Wang Yong's wrist, and there were so many people behind Wang Yong, he didn't make a mistake, so he shot directly.

Wang Yong had already taken precautions, grabbed his left hand at his waist, ripped off the light water sword with the scabbard, and slapped it on the other party's long cloth bag, with a muffled sound, both of them felt a shock in their hands, but Wang Yong felt a shock in his hand, it was in the other party's cloth bag, which was wrapped in a heavy weapon, and the man was slapped away by a sword, and his hand was numb, and he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Wang Yong slapped away the opponent's weapon, his body did not retreat, he still moved forward, his fingers had already touched the clothes on the man's chest, and the man was also good, took a long breath, his chest collapsed back, and the placket collapsed.

Wang Yong grabbed the air, flashed in, and the palm of his hand went forward, the man had a little anger in his heart, the long cloth bag came back, and slapped it towards Wang Yong's ribs, Wang Yong used the sword for the second time, the man turned his hand, the long cloth bag went up, and the head of the cloth bag was punctured, revealing a half-curved crescent, and the scabbard was hooked, followed by the man's empty left hand into a fist, and hit Wang Yong's palm.

Wang Yong pressed the spring of the light water sword in his hand, and the sword came out of the sheath, the half-curved crescent slid diagonally with the scabbard, and the yellow-faced man's body couldn't help but tilt, and fell to the side, Wang Yong reached out and grabbed his fist, and shook it hard, so that he could stand by strength, but the sword in his hand was slashed, and the cloth bag on his weapon was cut to the ground, but it was wrapped in a Qimen weapon, a double-headed snake halberd.

Wang Yong slowly let go of his hand and arched his hand to the yellow-faced man: "It's rude." ”

The yellow-faced man glanced at Wang Yong with a complicated face, and said, "Skills are not tolerated, and you deserve to lose." After speaking, he picked up the cloth, wrapped the weapon again, and then returned the scabbard to Wang Yong, and turned around to leave.

Wang Yong hurriedly shouted, "Haven't you asked your Excellency to be your name yet?" ”

The man said lightly: "In Xia Zhujing, there is no big name." After speaking, he still wanted to leave, Bao Xu suddenly said: "But is Lingzhou's 'three-handed general' Zhu Jing?" ”

The man's footsteps stopped, looked at Bao Xu with some strangeness, and said, "How do you recognize me?" ”

Wang Yong also thought of this person, after Liangshan Bo Zhao'an, the Northern Expedition to Tianhu, when he was in Huguan, Lin Chong fought Huguan to guard Shan Shiqi, and under Shan Shiqi's subordinates, one person rushed out to respond, and defeated Zhang Qing with 'no feather arrows', and beheaded Zhang Qing's war horse, so that Zhang Qing had to return with his life.

Zhang Qing is one of the eight horses, and he once defeated Yan Shun, the 'Jinmao Tiger' among the three heroes of Qingfeng Mountain, it can be seen that he is not only powerful in flying stones, but also very good at marksmanship, and Zhu Jing can not only defeat him, but also let him not find a chance to hit stones in twenty rounds, which shows how this person's martial arts are.

Wang Yong immediately arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be Brother Zhu, I didn't know just now, how offended I was!" ”

Zhu Jing returned the salute and said: "Zhu has always been a good man, just now I saw your subordinate Xiangbo, I couldn't help but speak, and please don't blame Your Excellency." ”

Wang Yong waved his hand and said: "Brother Zhu doesn't have to pay attention to them, they are all idle and boring guys, does Brother Zhu want to cross the river?" ”

Zhu Jing nodded and said, "It's just to cross the river." ”

Wang Yong clapped his hands and said, "That's great, we all have to cross the river, and Brother Zhu will go all the way with us." As he spoke, he couldn't help but say, so he pulled Zhu Jing over.

Both sides reported their names, at this time Tian Hu had not rebelled, Zhu Jing was still just a lone thief, Bao Xu knew his identity, so he didn't hide it from him, so he introduced everyone present to him one by one, Zhu Jing couldn't help but be surprised, his expression was a lot more restrained, and he arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be a good man in Liangshan, and there are already your names on the rivers and lakes, especially the owner of Wang Zhai, Jingdong all the way, for the name of 'Cyberdang', who doesn't know who doesn't know." ”

Wang Yong laughed and said, "How can Xiao Ke have such a big reputation, Brother Zhu exaggerates it." ”

Zhu Jing smiled and didn't say anything more, indeed; Wang Yong and the others swept all the small hills and made some reputations, but compared with the old green forests in Jingdong, they were even worse.

Zhu Jing said: "I don't know where the lord of the Wang Zhai is going with the leaders?" ”

Wang Yong didn't hide his respect from Zhu, so he said where he was going, and then said: "Brother Zhu, we people went, and we can't be insured, Brother Zhu has a good martial arts, why don't we go together?" ”

Zhu Jing said with some hesitation: "It's just that I don't know each other well with Chai Daguan, so I came to ...... door out of the way." ”

Wang Yong waved his hand and said: "Brother Zhu is here to help, Chai Daguan has the name of 'Gai Mengwei', knowing that Brother Zhu is going, he will only be happy, how can he be annoyed because he took the liberty to come to the door." ”

Jiao Ting also said: "If Brother Zhu goes, there must be a thank you from the Chai officials." ”

Zhu Jing was originally also a wandering person, going forward and retreating, there was no fixed place, this would be moved by everyone, so he said: "Okay, I won't be ashamed, follow the lord of the village and the leaders Jiwei, go and make a trouble." ”

While a few people were talking, the boat also came, and everyone got on the boat and headed towards Gaotang Prefecture. The dragon is in the water
