In order to avoid the eyes and ears, when I returned to Liangshan with the Birthday Gang.

The Liangshan army did not take the official road, but took mountain roads and country roads to detour back to Liangshan, and tried to sneak day and night along the way.

That night, Yuan Lang and others led their men to the mountains to catch game, and Li Kui was busy beating the fire with flint.

Shi Jin asked someone to escort Suo Chao from the carriage.

Seeing that his subordinates rudely pushed Suo Chao to the ground after taking him, Shi Jin hurriedly shouted, "How can you treat Suo Tisha like this, quickly untie the rope!" ”

Shi Jin suspected that his subordinates were busy, so he hurriedly told them to go away, personally helped Suo Chao up, untied the rope on his body, and said with a smile: "The little ones are not sensible, and they neglected Suo Tiha, please forgive me!" ”

Suo Chao gritted his teeth angrily and shouted: "If you want to kill, you will kill, Hugh is here to be hypocritical!" ”

Seeing Suo Chao angry, Shi Jin laughed and said, "Haha...... If I want to kill you, do I need to keep you until now? I see that you are brave and extraordinary, and I can't bear to kill you! ”

Suo Chao glared at Shi Jin fiercely and said, "What do you want, Lao Tzu will never surrender!" As long as you can go back alive, you will definitely bring troops to you again in the future to avenge this great revenge. If you don't want to regret it, kill me quickly! ”

Shi Jin didn't care, threw the untied rope on the ground, picked up a horse bag from the ground and threw it to Suo Chao, saying, "Taste it, the mountain wind is strong at night, and it's a little cold." This is a liquor burning knife to ward off the cold. I don't know if you dare to drink it! ”

Suo Chao drank the burnt knife once before, and the taste of burning the belly is still remembered.

Hearing that it was a burning knife, Suo Chao shouted, "I'm not even afraid of death, I'm also afraid of wine!" ”

Suo Chao picked up the horse bag, unplugged it, and drank on his back.

After a few sips, Suo Chao put down the horse bag, touched the wine traces on the corner of his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Good wine!" Hahaha...... can get drunk and go to Huangquan, and it will be happy. Whoever wants me to ask for a superordinate head, come on! ”

Shi Jin looked at Suo Chao with idiotic eyes, saying that he didn't want to kill him, and begged for death all the time.

Shi Jin skewered the peeled and salted pheasant on the branch of the tree, and said, "What can I do even if I let you go back, I lost the Birth Gang." Do you think Liang Zhongshu will let you go? I'm afraid that I will be exiled for thousands of miles and be a prisoner. What are you talking about and then leading troops to take revenge on me! ”

Suo Chao's face was gloomy when he heard this, of course he knew that if he lost his birth gang, Liang Zhongshu would inevitably punish himself severely, otherwise he would not be bent on death.

Shi Jin roasted the pheasant on the fire and continued to ask, "How many years has Suo Ti Shi practiced martial arts?" ”

Being asked by Shi Jin's sudden question, Suo Chao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you asking this?" If you want to kill, you will kill, where is so much nonsense! ”

Shi Jin said to himself, "I don't remember when I started practicing martial arts, I only know that practicing martial arts is very hard, practicing in winter and summer." After years of hard work, I have achieved a small success until today! Suo Ti Zhi is very strong, and he should be the same as Shi Jin, he has worked hard for a long time to get to where he is today! ”

Hearing the other party say that martial arts training was hard, Suo Chao couldn't help but recall the situation when he practiced martial arts, it was really hard at that time, and his palms grew into thick calluses.

When he heard him call himself Shi Jin, Suo Chao shouted in surprise: "Shi Jin? You are the Liangshan thief Nine-Pattern Dragon Shi Jin! ”

Shi Jin said with a smile when he heard it, "It turns out that I am so famous among your officers and soldiers, and even the Daimyo's Mansion knows my name." It has also made a lot of fame! ”

Suo Chao shouted, "You don't stay in Liangshan, how did you run to Hebei West Road, do you know whose one you robbed?" ”

Shi Jin said nonchalantly, "How could I not know, Liang Zhongshu!" ”

Suo Chao shouted: "Since you know that you still dare to rob, you must know that he is the son-in-law of Taishi Cai, and this birthday gang is dedicated by Liang Zhongshu to Taishi Cai." If you want to rob him, Taishi Cai will definitely ask the imperial court to send an army to exterminate your Liangshan! ”

Shi Jin said disdainfully, "The ability of the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, you must also know it. How can I be? ”

Suo Chao heard that he wanted to speak, but he didn't know how. He was the envoy of the army in charge of the Daimyo Mansion, how could he not know the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Shi Jin continued: "Not to mention that your parents worked hard to raise you, are you willing to waste years of hard work in vain? ”

"What's more, you don't have children yet, do you die like this, leaving the Suo family dead. When you don't have a descendant? ”

Suo Chao said angrily, "If I take refuge in you as a thief, won't I defile the remains of my parents!" ”

Shi Jin looked at Suo Chao and said: "If you lose the Birth Gang, Liang Zhongshu will definitely not pity you because of your death, but will only insult you for being useless." Do you really think you're useless? ”

"Dead, that's it for your whole life, you've been a defeated general all your life!"

"But if you live, you still have a chance to make a name for yourself. Follow me to Liangshan, if he can be recruited by the imperial court one day, you can become an official again. When the time comes, you will make a name for yourself with a knife and a gun, so that you can prove it yourself, and you will also fight for your ancestors! ”

Suo Chao was determined to die at first, but after blowing the mountain wind for so long, the idea of dying was no longer so strong.

Hearing Shi Jin's persuasion, Suo Chao fell into deep thought.

Shi Jin didn't bother the other party and pinched the chicken with his hand.

After a long time of roasting incense, Shi Jin easily tore off a piece of chicken.

Well, cooked!

Shi Jin split the roast chicken in two, threw half of it to Suo Chao, and shouted, "Come, try my craft." Very good! ”

Seeing that Suo Chao was still hesitating, Shi Jin sighed and said, "I was originally the owner of Shijiazhuang, I have a house and a field, and my life is boundless. Who knew that Nazhi County was greedy for my family business, slandering me for colluding with bandits, and I was forced to go to Liangshan in desperation. ”

Hearing that Shi Jin was also forced to go to Liangshan by officers and soldiers, Suo Chao sighed and said, "It's not that Suo Chao doesn't want to repay the emperor's favor, it's just that he ......." That's it, Suo Chao has a family that is difficult to run to today, and a country is difficult to vote for, and he is willing to be under the account as a pawn! ”

Shi Jin was relieved to hear that Suo Chao had agreed to surrender.

You girl, Lao Tzu helped you untie it personally, handed over wine, divided half of the roast chicken to you, and persuaded you with kind words.

If you don't submit to you, Lao Tzu will put you on horseback and suffer from bumps along the way!

When the others came back, Shi Jin called them all over to greet Suo Chao. At the same time, he also gave him back his golden axe and hissing horse.

Suo Chao has not yet married a wife and had children, and he is alone. There is no old age or young, and there are not many valuable things at home. After agreeing to return to Shi Jin, he would not return to the Daimyo's Mansion, and decided to go directly to Liangshan with Shi Jin.

When Shi Jin led a group of people to continue to return to Liangshan, outside a ruined temple in the middle of Anyang, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang got off his horse and handed over the horse to his subordinates to take care of, and he walked into the ruined temple quickly.

In the ruined temple, Chao Gai and Wu Yong were closing their eyes to recuperate.

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang had a chance to find out that Liang Zhongshu had prepared a birthday compendium worth 100,000 yuan to dedicate to Taishi Cai.

He also intended to rob the ill-gotten wealth of Shengchengang, so he went to Dongxi Village in Yuncheng to defect to Chao Gai, the king of Tota, and invited Chao Gai to rob Shengchengang together.

Chao Gai heard that there were 200 officers and soldiers escorting him, and Suo Chao, the vanguard of the escort, had the courage of ten thousand people.

Relying on Liu Tang and his Chao Gai alone, as well as the hundreds of bankers on the village, they are afraid that they will be weak and difficult to win.

So he invited his friend Zhiduoxing Wu to help with advice, and the three of them conspired together for this birthday.

Liu Tang walked into the main hall and did not participate in the Buddha or worship the Bodhisattva. The diameter walked to Chao Gai, who was sitting on the futon in the middle, and shouted, "Big brother, it's not good. The Birthday Gang was robbed! ”

Chao Gai heard a frightened shout, "What? Snatched it away! Who snatched it? ”

Liu Tang shook his head and said, "But I don't know, the weird thing is that I heard that there seem to be two groups of people coming to rob at the same time." Among them, a group of people who claimed to be from Heifeng Village, with nearly three to five hundred people, were very fierce. The other gang was a gang of horse thieves, who did not leave their names, but they were all on horseback, and there were one or two hundred of them, and all of them knew how to ride and shoot. The two of them fought for the birth gang, and in the end, it was the people of Qingfeng Village who won, snatched the birth gang, and also killed Suo Chao, the pioneer of the Daimyo Mansion. ”

Wu Yong, who was sitting on the side, heard that the Shengchengang was snatched away, pondered for a moment and asked: "Where was the Shengchengang snatched, after the thieves snatched the Shengchengang, they ran in that direction again!" ”

Liu Tang heard it and thought for a while and said, "It was robbed more than ten miles outside the north gate of Handan City, and that gang of thieves ran towards the east. Yes, I ran to the east! ”

"East!" Wu thought in his heart, "If it's east, it seems that the people on this side of Jingxi Road did it." It's just that there are not many people on Jingxi Road who can gather three or five hundred people, and they are not few, who will it be? Who are those horse thieves, all of whom can ride and shoot? Could it be officers and soldiers, but which general has so many people who can shoot on horseback? I've never heard of it! ”

With incomplete information, Wu Yong couldn't guess who these two groups of people fell to the ground?

Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "Since you are running away towards the east, it must be the people on the Jingxi Road who did it." Brother Chao might as well send his subordinates down and inquire about the news along the way. With so many soldiers and horses, it is difficult for them to hide their whereabouts. You'll be able to find a clue! ”

Chao Gai heard that there were three or five hundred people on the other side, and he hesitated.

But thinking that in order to snatch the birth gang, he promised a lot of benefits to his bankers.

Only then did he bring more than 100 bankers to rob this batch of Birthday Gang, if he gave up like this, the money spent before would be in vain.

Chao Gai said a little unwillingly, "Well, what Mr. said makes sense. Find out where this group comes from, and then make plans! ”

Hearing Chao Gai say it, he would make plans when he said it, but he didn't make up his mind to snatch this batch of birth gangs, Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai, shook his head and didn't say anything!
