In the evening, a grand banquet was held in Taohuayu Hotel. On behalf of the emperor, Taiwei Su made a consummation of incense on Taihua Mountain, and all the officials and soldiers celebrated together, and the post house was full of sumptuous banquets inside and out, and people with a little status were able to attend the banquet.

In the main hall of the post house, He Taishou sat on the upper seat with Su Taiwei and other dignitaries. I saw that he stood up and made a praising speech to the officials present, and then Taiwei Su pretended to say something praising virtue. Then the wine and delicacies came up like a stream, and a group of officials also took the opportunity to gather around Su Taiwei to toast and flatter, and for a while, the whole hall was full of people, and the sound was undulating, like a busy city.

At about the end of the unitary time, the relatives of the captain in the small courtyard suddenly said that the house was stuffy, and they wanted to go to the valley for a walk, and the guards in front of the door had been explained by Chang Yicheng before, so they naturally did not dare to stop it, so the carriage quietly left the post house accompanied by several guards.

The time gradually came to the middle of the day, and the banquet in the lobby gradually came to an end. At the exit of Taohuayu, more than a dozen officers and soldiers on duty listened to the constant noise coming from inside, and scolded their mothers fiercely in their hearts.

"Straight lady thief, everyone drinks wine and eats meat, but we are blowing a cool breeze here, this is very reasonable."

A sergeant stared at the inn, grumbling indignantly.

"Don't gossip, the top will never treat us on duty badly, let's do our errands first."

The person who said this looked like a small leader.

"It's good to have some leftover vegetables and cold wine, and I hope for a lot of good." The first one replied coldly.

"Hugh's Luo Zha, there's someone inside." The little leader let out a snort, and prepared to inspect the car.

"The boss didn't drink, why didn't he look at it, this car has often passed here in the past two days, and it was used by the lieutenant's family, so it's easy to check."

The sergeant had a good look in his eyes, and he saw the incoming car at a glance. And the head saw that it was, but he was not at ease, so he took two steps forward and accosted the guard on the side:

"Dare to ask this brother, it's dark and the road is dark, but where is this car going?"

"The lady said that it was stuffy inside, and she went to the valley to breathe the air, but she didn't go there, you just took care of yourself."

When the head heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and went back to his post. However, in just a moment, there was a noise outside the valley, and I saw more than a dozen men pushing a cart full of watermelons on the road in front of me under the moonlight.

"Who are you waiting for, stop quickly." When the little leader saw this, he hurriedly shouted loudly and hurried over.

"Master Rongyu, we are all melon farmers in Fushui Town, and we have sent watermelons to Shangguan in response to the agreement of the shopkeeper Diao." Then I saw a young man come to the sentry and return to the road.

"If it's a melon, why don't you come during the day?"

"Official, you don't know, if it's hot today, the melons picked during the day are not fresh, and the ones picked at night are cold and sweet, otherwise how could the shopkeeper let me wait for this time to send them. I don't believe in the official, but now I taste one, and I know that it is not bad. ”

As he spoke, the melon farmer turned around and took a watermelon from the car, knocked it in half on the wheel, and then brought it to the sentry.

"Go! Go! Whoever wants to eat your watermelon, wait until I send someone inside to find out. ”

But the little leader ignored him, and when he turned around, he sent someone to report it.

"Hey! The man outside handed the melon here, and I want to use it here.

At this moment, a voice sounded behind the sudden overhearing. He looked back and saw that one of his close guards had approached the sentry at some point. Then I watched him take the watermelon, handed half of it to the car, and the rest of the people each shared a share and ate it with relish.

"Straight sissy thief! Wine and meat can no longer be enjoyed, why not eat a piece of watermelon to quench your thirst! That man, I'll hand over two of them to taste first, and I'll report them for you later. ”

The grumbling sergeant couldn't hold back anymore and shouted at the melon farmer.

The man was also very obedient, and immediately turned back to the car and took two melons. The sergeant took it, took out his waist knife and cut it into more than ten pieces, and immediately grabbed a piece and gnawed it hard, and couldn't help but praise:

"Straight sissy thief! The freshly picked at night was delicious. ”

Seeing that he quickly ate one piece of three times and dividing five by two, he immediately reached out to get another piece. And the soldiers next to him withstood such a temptation, and quickly divided the rest in a hurry. But after only a few breaths, the melon-eating sergeants fell one by one. The little leader was still a little conscious, and was about to shout, but was slashed by the captain behind him.

"Battalion commander, this place will be handed over to you, and mine will go back quickly."

It was Yang Zaixing who pretended to be the guard, and after he hurriedly said a word, he immediately led people to drive the carriage away.

The more than ten melon farmers outside were Bian Xiang and Chen Da and others, but when they saw them, they immediately poured watermelons, took out their weapons and occupied the crossing, and then sent a signal, and in a moment a large number of figures outside the mouth quickly came.

Not long after Yang Zaixing and the others rushed back to the small courtyard, the banquet in the lobby of the post house was also coming to an end. Su Taiwei was worried about the beauty in the room, and accidentally got drunk, but He Taishou knew it, so he said that Taiwei worked hard for days and was too strong to drink, and I sent him back to the room first to continue to have fun, and then helped him back to the small courtyard.

He Taishou was sent to the door of the room, and seeing the silhouette of a beautiful woman under the headlamp inside, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and then said ambiguously:

"Tai Lieutenant, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and I rested earlier."

However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he was suddenly pushed behind him, and he involuntarily followed in.

In the lobby, everyone had already drunk about it, and no one paid attention to Taiwei and Taishou if they didn't return. The guards at the gate of the small courtyard didn't come out after watching the two Shangguan go in, but they just said that they had common hobbies and discussed and studied together.

Let's say that after Bian Xiang, Chen Da and others occupied Gukou, Gu Haotian, Zhu Wu, Yang Chun and others quickly led more than 1,000 people from Shaohua Mountain to kill them. Later, Chen Da was left with more than 100 people to guard the mouth of the valley, and Yang Chun was asked to take more than 100 people to search all over the valley, and the rest of the people immediately surrounded the entire post house.

After about half an hour, a group of people in the lobby of the post house were confused, and they heard a commotion outside. Chang Yicheng, as the on-site conductor of tonight's banquet, almost did not participate in the drinking, so he was also the most sober. At first glance, he thought it was a drunken disturbance by the people outside, but immediately felt something strange, and when he hurried to the door, he saw a large group of people rushing over, and the frightened souls were frightened, and then screamed with a heart-splitting voice.

"Oh no! Bandits are coming! Oh no! Bandits are coming! ”

When a diner was drunk and dreaming of death, Chang Yicheng suddenly heard the frightened voice, and they couldn't believe it, and even thought that he was drunk and out of shape. It wasn't until someone outside came in that he woke up like a dream, but when he wanted to resist or run for his life, he found that he couldn't do anything.

Zhang Hong is the head of the forbidden army in the capital, this time as the pro-army guard of Su Taiwei out of Beijing, because of his duties, he rarely drinks tonight, so he first felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to the back of the small courtyard, but found that the guards guarding the door were not his own people left in Huazhou, at that time he shouted badly, he originally saw Su Taiwei to the back of the head to freshen up, and came out with a spring breeze on his face, naturally he didn't think there was any problem, so he didn't go to check it out, and now he thought about it but had already won someone else's design. At that moment, he wanted to turn around and recruit people, but it was too late, and then he only heard a cold voice beside him:

"If you are here, why leave in a hurry!"

"You ......"

However, before he could finish speaking, he received a heavy blow to the neck, and then fell limply.

It was Yang Zaixing who made the shot, and I saw him carry Zhang Hong into the courtyard and whispered to the twenty or thirty guards inside:

"The outside has been attacked, and it is the most chaotic at this time, guard the yard, and you must protect the safety of the lady."

The dozens of guards here are all members of the pro-guard battalion, and they have used the carriage for the past two days

In and out quietly brought in. Although Gu Haotian let Hu Sanniang participate in the operation, he cared more about her safety. So in addition to sending Shi Qian, he asked Yang Zaixing to follow up as a guard. And for Yang Zaixing and these people, it doesn't matter if they are too lieutenants or too guards, but the talents around the petty officials are important.

At this time, in the room of the small courtyard, Su Taiwei and He Taishou had been tied into two zongzi. Hu Sanniang sat on the chair excitedly, just now it was she who overturned Taiwei Su with one hand, and stepped on that He Taishou with one foot, looking at the two senior officials who she had won with her own hands, but she was thinking about how to brag to that person tonight, and she didn't care about the safety of the courtyard at all.

The battle in the post house was not very difficult, because there were dozens of helpers led by Ma Ling in the back kitchen, although they could not directly participate in cooking, it was still easy to add a little thing to the water for washing vegetables, so everyone who had eaten the food was more or less hit, so Gu Haotian, Zhu Wu and others controlled the situation without much effort.

By the beginning of the night, the entire inn had been cleaned up, and there were almost no fish that slipped through the net. But Gu Haotian still didn't dare to take it lightly, so he asked Chen Da to lead people to guard the prisoners, and the rest of the people immediately changed into the costumes of the incense team, and took Su Taiwei, He Taishou and other key people to set off towards Huazhou City overnight.

The next day, the team of Taihua Mountain incense returned to Huazhou City lively, but no one paid attention to some discrepancies in time.

He was sitting in the government on this day, but he heard the report from the bottom that the incense team came back, and he couldn't help but be surprised, because according to the pre-arrangement, these people were going to stay in Taohuayu for a few days, why did they return so early? When he hurried out with questions in his head and a group of officials left behind in the yamen, the team had already entered the yamen, and then there was no more.

It is said that not long after He Taishou returned to the government, a team of forbidden soldiers went to the treasury of Huazhou with his handwritten documents, and the officials guarding the treasury looked at the huge amount of data on it and were suspicious, but these forbidden troops were very barbaric, and even detained the guards together, and then transported all the valuables inside without authorization. It wasn't until late in the evening that the imperial court's fleet of incense and several hired civilian boats set sail with a full load, and the people outside the city watched the captain get off the sedan chair and board the ship, and all scolded him for his greed, but no one suspected that something had happened here.

At dusk, a cool breeze blows above Weishui, and a fleet of ships under the royal flag is going down the river. Gu Haotian, Lu Junyi, Bian Xiang, Shi Qian, Ma Ling, Yang Zaixing, Zhu Wu, Yang Chun, and Shi Jin, who had just been rescued, sat on the captain's boat together.

"What are the next steps of the brothers?"

Gu Haotian sat on the top, and then turned his head sideways and asked Shi Jin, Zhu Wu and others on the right. The purpose of this westward trip to the pass is these few people, but after all, it can't be forced.

Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, and Yang Chun had obviously discussed, and when they saw the three of them looking at each other, it was Zhu Wu who spoke first.

"Liangshan Manor is famous in the rivers and lakes, and the petty officials are benevolent, righteous and wise, and we have long longed for it. This time, we robbed the Taiwei, killed the Taishou, and plundered the treasury in Huazhou, which will definitely alarm the imperial court, and how can more than 1,000 people in the Shaohuashan District block the officers and soldiers from entering and suppressing. My brother and I have made up our minds, so I went to Liangshan to create a career with the petty officials, and I beg to take them in! ”

"I Shijin is a rough person, I can't talk much, this time the petty official saved my life, and I will repay it with my life in the future."

Shi Jin then opened his mouth, and after saying that, he actually came to Gu Haotian and knelt down. Seeing this, Zhu Wu and Yang Chun also came over together to make a big salute.

"It's a great honor for the brothers of Shaohua Mountain to be able to see Liangshan and me, how can a few brothers bear such a big gift."

Gu Haotian was overjoyed when he saw that these people were sincerely attached, and hurriedly stepped forward to help them up one by one.

When the night boat picked up Chen Da and others by Shishui Town, and went down to Shaanzhou Ma Ling got off the boat and rushed to Liangshan first, and when he arrived at Kaide Mansion, Xiao Jiasui had already brought two battalions of cavalry and a team of sailors to meet him, so everyone abandoned the boat and went ashore to Liangshan by land. But it was a pity that the official ship was abandoned, and the sailors took over the north.

Only the captain was left alone in the wilderness on the riverbank at a loss.
