Chapter 86 Peach Blossom Village under Peach Blossom Mountain
The book is divided into two ends, but it is said that since Peach Blossom Mountain came to fight the tiger and made Li Zhong the king, it has become more and more prosperous. In the past few months, he has recruited dozens of minions, made two transactions, and obtained eight or nine hundred taels of silver.
The second king, Zhou Tong, leaned against the big tree and also got benefits. It's just that he has three major wishes, and he has just fulfilled one, but he is always thinking about the other two things. One is that I didn't meet the woman I liked, or a single. The second is that Zhu Jiazhuang is powerful, and he has never avenged humiliation.
On this day, Zhou Tong and Li Zhong were feasting, and suddenly Zhou Tong's henchmen came over, "The second king, the little one has something important to report!" ”
This person is Zhou Tong's right and left hand, and when he saw Li Zhong and Zhou Tong together, he didn't continue.
A trace of unhappiness flashed on Li Zhong's face, but he didn't mean to avoid it. Now he is the king of Peach Blossom Mountain, where does he care about this little minion.
Zhou Tong saw that there was something wrong with his henchmen, stopped his wine glass, and asked directly: "What's the report?" Swallow and spit out! ”
The minion glanced at Li Zhong, and then said to Zhou Tong: "Second king, the little one heard a beautiful woman in Peach Blossom Village at the foot of the mountain, and I think it is a good match for the two kings, so I have come to report to the two kings!" ”
As soon as he heard the word "beauty", Zhou Tong's eyes straightened, and his mind suddenly became lively. In the past few years, he has handled several women, but they are all vulgar fans. A few years ago, Hujiazhuang recruited relatives, and he had the idea of getting married for the first time. After coming back, his thought was not extinguished, although there was no Hu Sanniang, but there were many beauties in the world, and Zhou Tong was determined to find a stunning one.
I didn't want to give my order only a few months later, and there was news, it was still in Peach Blossom Village at the foot of the mountain. This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
"Good, good!" Zhou Tongxi was overjoyed, and said three good words in a row, "Brothers have a heart!" ”
Turning his head, Zhou Tong toasted to Li Zhong and said, "Brother, the younger brother is going to be the groom's official!" ”
Li Zhong also returned the salute, raised his glass and said, "Brother Fool is here to congratulate Brother Xian!" ”
Zhou Tong drank the wine in the cup and said goodbye to Li Zhong, "Brother wait a while, little brother will go back!" After that, he took his men down the mountain.
Li Zhong thanked Zhou Tong more than Zhou Tong in the end, and reminded: "Brother is looking for a lady who oppresses the village, and he must not be reckless, he must treat each other with courtesy!" ”
After thinking about it, Li Zhong said again: "There is a lot of wealth in the cottage, and the brother can take some as a dowry." ”
Zhou Tong got Li Zhong's instructions and thought that this was the truth. "Brother reminds me!"
When Zhou Tong ordered his subordinates to go to twenty taels of gold, because it was a happy event, Zhou Tong specially ordered to prepare a big red silk. It's just that there is only one and a half horses of the cottage big red silk, and Zhou Tong only took one.
The purchasing power of gold is not to be elaborated on compared to silver, and the twenty taels of gold are not a small number, and the bride price will certainly not be less if it continues at this point. Zhou Tong has always been stingy, and this time he also made a bloody investment in order to marry a wife.
Zhou Tong took more than 20 minions, rode a high-headed horse, and happily went straight to Peach Blossom Village. Along the way, the shadow of the mountain is deep, and the shade is cool. The shepherd boy who was grazing cattle along the way, and the farmer who returned home saw that these people in Taohuashan were hiding far away one by one, and Zhou Tong didn't care.
A group of people waited, drove thirty or twenty miles of fields, crossed a board bridge, saw a cluster of red glow in the distance, among the trees, flashed a village, the back of the village overlapped, are all chaotic mountains.
The minion who was currently sending a letter to Zhou pointed to the village courtyard and said to Zhou: "King, that's where Madame is." "When they were not in front of Li Zhong, these people still called Zhou Tong the king. This person is Zhou Tong's confidant, and he is obedient, and directly calls the stunning woman Mrs., as if Zhou Tong has already married.
Sure enough, Zhou Tong listened to this person's words, his face was very happy, and he smiled: "Haha! Come with me, little ones, to meet Madame! ”
The crowd mustered up their strength and continued on their way, rounding a hill corner. Walk to the river in front of the village, cross the stone bridge, and face a manor. At this time, there were few people in the village, and Zhou Tong saw that the gate of the manor was closed, and he couldn't hear people's voices.
The group stopped in front of the manor, and the organic minions went over and grabbed the iron ring on the door, and knocked on it, and the startled village dogs barked.
After a while, I heard someone inside scolding: "Which one died early and disturbed people's sleep?" "The person who wants to speak out is the doorman of the Zhuangyuan, who is lazy.
The gate of the courtyard opened, revealing a lewd and stocky man. "Oops, the bandits are coming!" The man rubbed his eyes, saw the appearance of the person outside the door, and fell to the ground with a scream.
This Zhuangzi is a nearby big Zhuangzi, just at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, Zhou Tong and others went to the village to borrow grain and money, and the door of this Zhuangyuan was also recognized.
After shouting, this man reacted, the thief was coming from the front, and he was afraid that he would suffer so bluntly. Sure enough, two minions from Peach Blossom Mountain saw this person speak ill of each other, so they went up and kicked them twice. "Which one did you say died young?"
Seeing that this person was beaten, Zhou Tong spoke, "Okay, today is a day of great joy, don't spoil things." ”
After Zhou Tong's order, the two minions stopped. The man who was beaten was stunned, how could it be a happy day!
Taking advantage of this stunned effort, Zhou Tong had already taken people into the courtyard. He also knows this family, it is one of the best families within a radius of 30 miles, and the old man in the family is surnamed Liu, and he is called Mrs. Liu. There are thousands of good fields, dozens of shops, and they accumulate goodness and love in the countryside on weekdays. Even every time Peach Blossom Mountain goes down the mountain, Mrs. Liu also has a lot of filial piety.
Zhou Tong was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard shouting in the backyard, as if many people were alarmed. Then I saw a large group of men in green clothes and small hats, led by a stout man, pouring out with weapons in their hands. Some of these people have shovels in their hands, some have sticks, some have flower guns, and some have kitchen knives.
However, when these people saw the bandits at the door, one by one holding simple knives, iron spears, and bows and arrows with cold light, they all stopped, and their faces showed fear. The man headed by Zhuangzi looked at the murderous Zhou Tong, the muscles on his face jumped, and the waist knife in his hand trembled.
"What's the matter, the crop style also has to have a few tricks with the masters!" Zhou Tong looked at the man in Liujiazhuang playfully and said.
"Don't be reckless!" At this moment, an old man rushed over and shouted, "Lay down your arms!" ”
Mrs. Liu ran over, but she shouted loudly to her own family to prevent them from resisting. The thieves of this Peach Blossom Mountain have been around for a long time, and there was originally only one king, but now I heard that there is a new king. The two gathered five or seven hundred thieves, re-erected a fence on the top of the mountain, disturbed the village, and robbed the house.
The people in the vicinity were unbearable, and the big households in the county reported to the officials. The county and the state have sent officers and soldiers to arrest him, and he has fought a few times, but he can't help it. And when he saw that the mountain was dangerous, and he could not attack it, he retreated. But the big family who reported the news was looted within two days, and there was not a single living house for the old and weak women and children.
Mrs. Liu's family has been a commercial farmer for generations, how can he afford such an outlaw. Peach Blossom Village is at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, so I didn't dare to provoke it, so I had to make friends with the bandits. Every month, he brought rice, grain, fruits and vegetables with him. For several years, the two sides have been at peace, but somehow this time it came again.
Mrs. Liu saw that his family had collected the stick, and waved it at Zhou Tong again and again, "The filial piety of the New Year's Festival has been sent up the mountain early, I don't know why the king is here?" If there is something, it would be good to send someone down the mountain to give an order, how dare you bother the king himself. ”
Zhou Tong looked at Mrs. Liu with a smile, stretched out his hand to help, and said: "Don't worry, Taigong, this time I went down the mountain not for money!" ”
When Mrs. Liu heard Zhou Tong's words, she felt a lot more relaxed. Unexpectedly, Zhou Tong's next sentence made his heart lift, and he almost fainted.
