The laughter of Lu Qian and Liu Tang made Han Bolong dumbfounded, and when he heard that Lu Qian and Liu Tang were going to take refuge in Chai Jinzhuang, they also laughed out loud. "But it's the luck of the younger brother to be able to catch up with the elder brother again."

Fellow Chai Jin's reputation was so loud that even Lu Qian had to rush to defect, which really made Han Bolong's face shine.

The rivers and lakes under the command of the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts can be roughly divided into seven parts - the most closed is Shudi, and then the weaker ones are Guanzhong and Hebei East Road, both of which are garrisoned by the imperial court's army, and the rivers and lakes cannot be allowed to be presumptuous. So Lu Junyi is so good and has such a big family business, isn't he also vulnerable when the government takes him? Even that Chao Gai also has Wu Yong as the mastermind, Liu Tang has thousands of miles to defect, Lu Junyi's industry is ten times, dozens of times that of Chao Gai, and the prestige of the rivers and lakes is even more extraordinary, and there is no right in the world to shout out the sticks clearly! And what does he have? A Yan Qing is still an adopted son. His calculation of single-handedly picking out Liang Shan was simply a sea in his head. That is because Zhao Song has heavy troops in Hebei, and there is no room for development at all, and the ceiling is too low.

Then there is the Kaifeng Mansion as the center, and the three green forests around Nada are the most prosperous.

Jingdong Qilu, this is one of them; Chai Jin, Song Gongming, and Chao Gai are all big brothers in the rivers and lakes.

Hedong Road is the second, and the representative figure is the famous Tian Hu a few years later.

The third is Jianghuai in the southeast, and the leading boss is Wang Qing. It's just that Wang Qing's hometown is also from Kaifeng Mansion.

The last of these seven places is Jiangnan, the famous Fang Shenggong, and the people in the rivers and lakes in the north have heard of it even if they have not seen it.

The fame of the little whirlwind Chai Jin is loud in the east of Jingdong, Qilu and Jidong, but Cangzhou is thousands of miles away from Kaifeng, Lu Qian has not only heard of Chai Jin's name, but also is ready to go all the way to Chai Jin in today's dangerous situation. Han Bolong's mouth couldn't close with a smile.

Whether in ancient times or in the 21st century, Chinese people have a local complex, and it is normal to be honored for the honor of their fellow countrymen.

That night, the three of them slept out on this night. The second time, the carriage traveled all morning and arrived at a town under the jurisdiction of Mengzhou. Their carriage was loaded with valuables, and they didn't even think about entering the city, otherwise they would be discovered by the soldiers guarding the city gates, and many incidents would arise. What's more, Liu Tang's appearance is too conspicuous, and it will be bad if he goes.

Han Bolong went to the entrance of the town first, and walked back with a bag of meat steamed buns in a moment.

"Is this town accessible?"

"Brother be cautious, this town will never enter. The documents of the government were posted at the entrance of the town, and a thousand letters were issued to reward money, and pictures were drawn, not only by Liu Tang's brothers, but also by his brothers. I went to take a look, but my brother was fine, but Brother Liu Tang saw that he had a cinnabar mark on his face, and he had to rely on it when he walked to the front. ”

Liu Tang said eagerly: "Can you put a plaster on your face?" ”

Lu Qian smiled: "You are the only one in the world who is obedient, say such a stupid thing!" How can this be concealed? "What is Lu Qian's background, the past memories in his mind are all there, and he understands the most when he is a public in the world, their faces are black, their hands are black, and even their hearts are black. But the brightest thing in the whole body is a pair of eyes.

He thought about this problem last night, the reality is not in the novel, and the Water Margin is just two lines of words written by the author, but the reality requires him to trek step by step. This escaped the first day of junior high school, but it couldn't escape the fifteenth. Once the traces are revealed, they can only fight, which is not good.

"I have a reason, but I'm afraid that Brother Liu Tang can't rely on it."

Liu Tang shouted: "I want to escape from the disaster and take refuge, as long as I can't drag my brother down, how can I not follow." ”

"Then I will say it, but don't be angry, brother." Lu Qian smiled on his face and patted the wooden box under his hand, "Brother Liu Tang, do you still remember the objects here?" ”

"Those two iron knives?" This is the deepest treasure in Liu Tang's memory, and his love is ten times better than that gold bar and silver ingot. The two snowflake iron knives inserted in the skin sheath of the sand fish inside were roaring loudly in the middle of the night last night, which made people marvel.

"It's a head-shaped costume inside. The brother must flee now, unless he cuts his hair and becomes a walker, presses his sideburns, and then puts an iron hoop on his head to cover the birthmark on his sideburns, and he has to make this amulet as a talisman; Nian Jia looks the same as his brothers, and the officers and soldiers can hide from themselves. ”

Lu Qian remembered Wu Song in the original book, Liu Tang is the same age as Wu Song, that Chao Gai is only in his early thirties, if Liu Tang is too old, how can he be Chao Gai's nephew? At the age of twenty-five or sixteen, his figure is also taller than him, with big shoulders and a round waist, how can Wu Song pretend to be a walker, Liu Tang can't pretend to be?

Although Liu Tang's nickname is the red-haired ghost, this does not mean that Liu Tang's hair is red, but the birthmark on his face. Just like Yang Zhi's nickname, the green-faced beast, how can he be a green-faced and fanged face? Liu Tang, with a purple and black broad face, cinnabar marks on his sideburns and a patch of black and yellow hair on it, is the reason why he was called a red-haired ghost.

Looking for a wood, Liu Tang took his clothes and drilled in, put on soap, tied a tape, removed the felt hat, untied his hair, folded it, tied the hoop up, and hung a few beads. Walking out, Lu Qian and Han Bolong looked at it, and the two cheered: "But it's not destined in the previous life!" "The clothes are made in line with Liu Tang's figure.

Han Bolong opened a wooden box and took out a bronze mirror decorated with gold and silver from it for Liu Tang to look at, Liu Tang looked at it and laughed.

"I have never worshiped the Buddha in my life, and I have never thought that I would become a practitioner today. My brother and I cut my hair. ”

Accompanied by the bronze mirror, there was also a pair of silver scissors, and Lu Qian picked up the scissors to cut Liu Tang's messy hair before and after. Han Bolong hung up two snowflake iron knives to Liu Tang again, "Hehe, brother is really a good walker." ”

Liu Tang pulled out the pair of knives, the cold light was pressing, and the sun in the sky directly lost its strength in an instant. didn't care about Han Bolong's teasing, just looked at the double knife and smiled.

Speaking of the magic weapons in this Water Margin, there are only a few of them. The treasure knife in Gao Yu's hand, the ancestral knife of the Yang family, and the golden armor of the Yanling ring handed down by Xu Ning's family, then the only thing that left an impression on Lu Qian was the water mill Zen staff in Lu Zhishen's hand and Wu Song's pair of snowflake iron knives.

It's just that Lu Qian is very suspicious, even if he throws an iron rod to Wu Song, he may not be more lethal than these two iron knives. Wu Song is really brilliant, and what is memorable is the fist and foot kung fu, but not the strength of the knife.

Wu Song still carried a whistle stick when he fought the tiger, and there was no shortage of knives and guns on Chai Jinzhuangzi, why didn't he see Wu Song carrying two knives back to his hometown?

Not to mention that Zhao Song's official family didn't let him, he ran this way by himself, and he had all the long and short knives he carried, and he didn't see him intercepted by someone else.

After Liu Tang dressed up as a walker, he really passed through the town without any surprise. Han Bolong also sold two more cows and a horse in the town, Lu Qian and Liu Tang's two horses are very good healthy horses, and they can be sold for 100 yuan in the market, which is not rare, and it is too luxurious to use them as horses to pull the cart.

The two cows were only seventeen or eighteen, and the best horses in the town were only thirty, with saddle reins, but the sixty taels of money were directly used for a box of copper coins.

Lu Qian was also suspicious, in this Water Margin world, silver has been used as money, why haven't you seen it minted into silver coins?

In real history, there was a shortage of gold and silver, but now this era is different, and the ancient Chinese were not stupid. Nowadays, in this world, copper knows how to mint money, why does no one think about minting money in silver?

The three of them walked more briskly. Lu Qian only dedicated a pair of ears to listen to Han Bolong and Liu Tang talk about their past in the rivers and lakes.

It turned out that the king of Natota Chao Gai was a big salt lord in the underground of Shandong, although the salt policy of the Song Dynasty was not as harsh as in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, but now a pound of salt is also maintained between 25 and 30 yuan. The price of salt in Bianjing is between 35 and 40 yuan.

The salt law of the Northern Song Dynasty stipulates that if the price of salt in Tokyo is less than 35 yuan per catty, it will be stored in storage and not sold, so that the price of salt will rise; If it exceeds forty dollars, the stock of salt will be distributed in large quantities.

Qilu is near the sea, illegal salt is rampant, and the people have a demand and a market, so the men in the rivers and lakes dare to escort the cart of salt to rush to the prefecture. The territory of Yuncheng flows with Jishui, and it is attached to the city of Tokyo; It is adjacent to Liangshanbo, directly connected to the Grand Canal, connecting the east, west, north and south, and the waterway is very prosperous. Since it is a major act of smuggling salt, Chao Gai is the leader in Qilu salt barons.

And Song Gongming is the first big nest owner along the Jishui and Qilu canals.

And what is a nest owner? That's the boss of the stolen den. This is also due to the convenience of Jishui and the Grand Canal. These two waterways are like two highways, intersecting in Yuncheng, what do you say about the topography and geography of Yuncheng?

Lu Qian suddenly realized, no wonder this Song Jiang is a small priest in Yuncheng County, with ordinary martial arts, but he can be so famous in the green forest rivers and lakes, it turns out that this is the case.

The stolen goods den must be in a convenient place with convenient transportation, and the intersection of the leading brother of the stolen goods den is naturally extensive, and as long as he has more money, it is no wonder that he is so famous.

This Yuncheng, "Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger." ”
