Getting back to the point, it was said that on Liangshan, all the big and small leaders came to see Wang Lun off. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWang Lun is going to the northwest to recruit talents, and he is leaving today.

Yang Lin and Deng Fei had friends in the north, and for the development of the cavalry in the cottage, Wang Lun had ordered the two to purchase horses. Meng Kang also took root in Liangshan at this time, bringing three or four hundred people from Yumachuan to build warships. In the past few days, the Ruan brothers have been a little smart, and they have been fighting with Meng Kang fiercely. In addition, Meng Kang and Deng Fei also brought more than 200 war horses from Yumachuan, which greatly enhanced the cavalry strength of Liangshan.

Wang Lun traveled west this time, and the only people he led were Du Qian and Shi Bao, one could be a guide and the other could be a thug. After Wang Lun left, the affairs of the cottage were handed over to Li Zhu, Song Wan, and Zhu Gui to preside.

Li Zhu led Song Wan and Zhu Gui to Wang Lun and said, "Brother, rest assured, brother will take care of the cottage in an orderly manner!" ”

Song Wan and Zhu Gui are Wang Lun's old brothers, and they also said that they would do their best to protect the cottage.

Wang Lun looked at the dozen or so people who saw them off at the foot of the mountain, and said in his heart that although the brothers had different skills, some were strong and some were weak, the rise of the cottage was predictable. When I come back from my westward trip this time, the cottage will grow, even if Chao Gai and Song Jiang come up the mountain, they are not afraid.

Shaking his fist at more than a dozen leaders, Wang Lun said: "In this way, the cottage will be entrusted to the brothers, and I hope that the brothers can perform their duties." ”

Jiao Ting and Shi Qian slapped their chests with a tom and said, "Brother, but don't worry, the brothers will never go on a business trip." ”

Wang Lun saw Li Kui staying aside and was sullen, but he said that it was because he didn't take him with him. So he said to Li Kui: "Tie Niu, don't be temperamental, I'll take you with me when I go out next time!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Kui raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Brother's words are true, all brothers can testify to me!" But he was afraid that Wang Lun would not admit it.

Wang Lun still has to train Li Kui, of course, he will take more care of him and will not deceive him. said: "Naturally, take it seriously! ”

When Li Kui heard Wang Lun's affirmative reply, he opened his mouth and smiled, as if a child had got candy.

Du Qian saw Li Kui smiling happily, and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water. Said: "Iron Bull! My brother and I went out for a few days, and you have to memorize the rules and military laws of the cottage, but don't be lazy. ”

Sure enough, after listening to Du Qian's words, the corners of Li Kui's mouth twitched, and he felt that his head was big.

When everyone saw Li Kui so innocent, they all smiled.

At this time, it was not early, Li Zhu led everyone forward here, and said to Wang Lun: "This is going to the northwest, the road is far away, take care of Brother Wanwang!" ”

Everyone else also said: "I wish my brother success and a safe journey!" ”

In this way, Wang Lun, Du Qian and Shi Bao bid farewell to the people of Liangshan and headed west.

At this time, it was already June, and Wang Lun remembered that Wang Jin stayed in Shijiazhuang until August, and he had to find Wang Jin within two months, otherwise it would be difficult to find him in the future.

The three of them rode horses, traveled more than 100 miles a day, and came to Puzhou on this day. Wang Lun looked at the large red pine forest in front of him, and only felt familiar. Xiang Shi Bao asked, "Brother Shi Bao, can we walk this road?" ”

Shi Bao looked around carefully, and then replied to Wang Lun: "Brother, why don't you have an impression, last time we went out to do business, we took this road." ”

The business that Shi Bao said was the last time he robbed the Birth Gang, and after being reminded by Shi Bao, Wang Lun also remembered it. "I didn't expect it to be a revisit."

Du Qian smiled on the side and said, "It's a pity that there is really no last deal here!" ”

Wang Lun pointed at Du Qian and laughed, Shi Bao felt that the fatigue of rushing was gone when Du Qian said this.

At this time, the weather was hot, and the three of them drank water to cool off. After taking a sip of water, seeing that there was not much water in the water bag, Shi Bao said: "This ghost is so hot, I don't know if there is a place to draw water here?" ”

Wang Lun saw that the water in his water bag was almost bottoming out, and said, "Let's take a walk!" ”

The three of them continued on, and in about a quarter of an hour, they entered the middle of the woods. Wang Lun saw a big pine tree four or five zhang high in the forest, and it was as thick as a person hugging each other. Under the tree, there is a large cyan stone with three large characters engraved on it: "Red Pine Forest".

Seeing the words "Red Pine Forest" with his own eyes, Wang Lun suddenly remembered, isn't this one of the dangerous places in the Water Margin! Yang Zhi escorted the birth gang to go here, and Shi Jin was also a strongman here!

Knowing that there are always strongmen in this place, Wang Lun didn't dare to be careless. instructed Shi Bao and Du Qian to say: "This place is densely forested, and it is a little dangerous, so the two brothers should wake up. ”

Since ancient times, there have been countless big people who have capsized in the gutter, and Wang Lun did not dare to be careless in the red pine forest. Du Qian and Shi Bao obeyed Wang Lun's words, and after Wang Lun's instructions, they each took the Pu knife in their hands.

The three of them were on full alert, and the speed of the rush was full. When the three of them were about to walk out of the pine forest, suddenly there was a singing voice in the forest.

"While you are in the east, I am in the west, and you have no man, and I have no wife. I am idle when I have no wife, and you are so lonely when you have no husband. ”

When Shi Bao heard this song, he frowned and said, "Where did the pickles come from, it's so unbearable!" ”

Wang Lun listened to the lyrics rudely, and when he heard it, he was not a good person singing it, and he was also unhappy. said: "Do what you want!" ”

Du Qian and Shi Bao glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.

After a while, a Taoist walked out of the forest, only to see a soap towel on his head, wearing a cloth shirt, a variegated silk around his waist, and bast shoes on his feet. He carried a simple knife on his waist and a burden on his shoulder. At one end is a bamboo basket, in which some steamed buns are exposed, and lotus leaves hold some meat. Carrying two bottles of wine on one end, also covered with lotus leaves.

This person also saw Wang Lun and the others at this time, and was taken aback, his face was cloudy, and he stopped.

Wang Lun and the others had already realized that this person was wrong, and they also stopped to look at that person at this time.

The Daoist saw Wang Lun and the three of them looking at him, and said in his heart that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Dao Ye to bump into him, wouldn't it be a pity to let it go, but I'm afraid that he can't deal with these three people alone.

Ladies and gentlemen, who is this person, but it turned out to be a person who was ambushed in the red pine forest after Wang Lun and others robbed the Birth Gang that day. It's just that Wang Lun and others had a lot of hands that day, and he and his accomplices didn't do it. But he recognized Wang Lun and Shi Bao, and when he met here this time, he didn't want to let go of the wealth.

Finally made up his mind to rob Wang Lun and the others, the man put on a charitable smile and asked Wang Lun and the others, "Are the three of you passing by merchants?" ”

Du Qian pulled out the Pu knife in his hand and wiped it carefully with his hands. He didn't look at the man, but said, "So what? Isn't it? ”

The man saw that Du Qian's face was not good, smiled awkwardly, and said: "Don't misunderstand the three, Poor Dao just wants to remind the three of them that there are often strongmen here, be careful." ”

Du Qian put away the Pu knife, arched his hand at the man, and said nonchalantly: "Then thank you Dao Chief!" Du Qian bit the word "Taoist" very hard.

Seeing Du Qian like this, the Taoist heart said: Let you be proud for a while! When you get to the temple, the Taoist will give you a good time.

"Well said! Say! Poor Dao is the Taoist priest in the temple nearby, and he is the most enthusiastic, often helping passers-by who are lost or encounter strong people. ”

Shi Bao saw that this Taoist priest was not ashamed, and he still spoke in front of the three of him, and said in a burst of color: "Where is there any strong man, I think it's you, a thief Taoist!" ”
