Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, they were all some individual visitors from the rivers and lakes who came to Liangshan, this drinking horse river is a medium force one hundred and ten miles away from here, there are three village owners and five or seven hundred people, I didn't expect all of them to come.

Even Zhu Gui was shocked, and hurriedly shouted "sorry" to the people around him, and then rushed over and hugged his fists and said: "Zhu Gui is in the lower dry land, and I have come to greet all the heroes who drink Machuan, may I ask who is the master of Pei Xuan Pei Dazhai?" ”

Zhu Gui was originally in charge of receiving guests from all over the world and also in charge of intelligence work, so he didn't say everything about this Qingzhou, at least sixty or seventy percent of the forces were very familiar, and he knew that there were three leaders in this drinking horse, all of whom were heroes for a while.

Among them, Pei Xuan, the iron-faced face of the lord of the village, was originally the Confucius of the six cases of Qingzhou City, but because he was upright and meticulous, he offended Shangguan and was framed to assassinate Shamen Island.

And the owner of the second village is the fire-eyed Deng Fei, he was originally born in the army, good at making an iron chain, named because of the red eyes, the master of the third village is the jade banner rod Meng Kang, he was originally a shipbuilder, was ordered to build a large ship of Huashigang, because he did not want to be oppressed by Shangguan, he simply killed Shangguan and fled to the rivers and lakes, and later fell into the grass with Deng Fei in Yinmachuan, and also broke a reputation.

Seeing that these three village owners gathered here today, and even brought more than 500 of their subordinates, it seemed that they were planning to raise the mountain to run, Zhu Gui naturally did not dare to slack off, and came out to greet him in person.

At this time, I saw Pei Xuan also dismount - he looked stable, white and fat, and very blessed, but his eyes were shining, and the cold air between Gu Pan was pressing, and he was worthy of being a person who was once in charge of the punishment of a state.

He hugged Zhu Gui and said: "Boss Zhu is invited, I have long heard of Brother Zhu's name, today I am here to meet the leaders of Guishanzhai, especially Brother Ye, the lord of the village, Beichen Emperor, and I hope to report on my behalf." ”

Zhu Gui was even happier when he saw Pei Xuan speaking politely, and hurriedly took everyone to the hotel in person, asked people to overturn two cattle and send good wine to entertain everyone, and at the same time sent someone to fly up the mountain.

Ye Lingzheng and Wu Yonggongsun Sheng discussed future plans, and after receiving Zhu Gui's report, several people were stunned at first, and then they were all overjoyed, this other cottage to invest is not a trivial matter, they are all out to mix, and they are all the heads of the family, free and happy, and who wants to be subservient to others? This shows that they are willing to do this because they admire Liang Shan very much.

Ye Ling naturally knew more about Pei Xuan's information, knowing that this person was iron-faced, selfless, upright, and a natural person in charge of rewards and punishments, which was also a very important position for a force, even if Song Lao was so jealous and jealous, he had to let Pei Xuan sit in this position.

After discussing it, the three of them decided to lead all the leaders to greet them together, in order to show that Liang Shan attached great importance to Pei Xuan and them, and at the same time to tell the surrounding and even the heroes of the world that they Liang Shan's attitude of seeking talent and accommodating the world's mind.

Everyone was very happy after seeing each other, Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, Meng Kang saw that Liangshan was strong and strong, the mountains were dangerous and deep, and more than a dozen leaders were majestic, and they were all very admired, and more than 500 people from Liangshan were also very welcome, and the two sides talked very happily, and after saying a few words, Ye Ling invited the brothers who drank Machuan to go up the mountain to rest, and then invited Pei Xuan and the other three to come to the Juyi Hall to drink and discuss.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, as the military advisor of the cottage, Wu Yong took the initiative to ask: "Brother Pei, Brother Deng, Brother Meng, Xiaosheng has already heard the reputation of the three, I don't know what are the plans for this time?" ”

Wu Yong is tantamount to getting straight to the point and asking about the intention, Pei Xuan put down the wine glass and said: "Thank you Mr. Scholar for asking, the younger brother is also planning to report, there are two reasons for us to wait for the cheeky mountaineering, first, I heard that after the leader Ye Da and the leaders of Liangshan newly went to Liangshan, they won several big victories in a row, and played the prestige of our heroes in the rivers and lakes, so after we discussed it, we also planned to defect to the command and seek a future; Second, Pei Mou came here to inform everyone of one thing, there will be a big enemy who will threaten the cottage. ”

The leaders of Liangshan listened happily - who doesn't want to listen to others boast about their exploits, let alone a former colleague, but when they heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked again, Wu Yong hurriedly asked, "What kind of enemy is this?" I hope Brother Pei will talk about it carefully. ”

Pei Xuan explained unhurriedly, it turned out that there was a hill named Dulonggang on the ground in Qingzhou, and there was a big Zhuangzi named Zhujiazhuang in front of the mountain.

This Zhu Taigong has three sons, namely Zhu Long, Zhu Hu and Zhu Biao, among which Zhu Biao is the youngest but the martial arts are the most to get, this is also from the outside to hire a martial arts instructor iron rod Luan Tingyu, but also has the courage of ten thousand people, in addition to Zhujiazhuang on both sides of Li Jiazhuang and Hu Jiazhuang as wings, the three Zhuang formed an alliance.

And this Zhu Chaofeng is very ambitious, their Sanzhuang Alliance has been extremely strong since the previous generation, after decades of operation, and even the surrounding three counties and fifteen townships have to pay them "offerings" as a cost to protect them.

This is completely equivalent to snatching food from the mouth of the imperial court, the lawsuit is naturally not done, these three counties have repeatedly sent troops to crusade against Zhujiazhuang are not opponents, and finally even the Dengzhou Mansion above has sent troops, but still can't take Zhujiazhuang, and finally those local officials have to pinch their noses and Zhu Chaofeng secretly signed an agreement for their own political achievements, they do not come to oppose Zhujiazhuang, but on the bright side Zhujiazhuang also has to give face to the court, don't make trouble.

Therefore, Zhujiazhuang has become a major overlord of Dengzhou Mansion, and its influence within a radius of two or three hundred miles exceeds that of the government, so the ambition of Zhujiazhuang is also getting bigger and bigger, and it is constantly expanding to the surrounding areas, not only those ordinary villages have to pay taxes to them, but even those cottages and other rivers and lakes are no exception.

And just half a month ago, Zhujiazhuang sent someone to inform Yinmachuan that from now on, 10,000 yuan of "protection fees" must be paid to Zhujiazhuang every year, otherwise troops will be sent to set foot on Yinmachuan!
