Five days later.

On the entire Dead Tree Mountain, there was a crowd of people, and all the families of the soldiers and minions marched slowly down the mountain in a long line.

Jiao Ting and Bao Xu stood at the back of the line, looking back three times at a time. Looking at the withered tree mountain that was gradually moving away, his eyes revealed a strong reluctance.

"Brother, let's go, don't teach Brother Tianwang to wait for a long time!" , Jiao Ting sighed, looked at Bao Xu beside him, and urged.

When Bao Xu heard this, he also let out a long breath, then nodded slightly, turned the horse's head, and followed the team.

Yesterday, he thought that Liang Shan would never be able to tolerate his own behavior, but it was unimaginable that he didn't want to cover his belly. Chao Gai's words full of warmth and heroism really can't help but refuse.

If it weren't for Song Jiang's matter, I'm afraid that when Jiao Ting proposed to go to Liangshan to join the gang before, he would have agreed. I didn't want to really make people worse, and when I was hesitating and wandering, I heard the report of the soldiers, and Liangshan Bo Chao Gai came in person with three people. Then, Bao Xu's heart was horizontal, and there was something before.

When Bao Xu and Jiao Ting caught up, they saw Chao Gai and others waiting for them from a distance.

Bao Xu looked at Chao Gai in front of him, but he still couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. At this time, Jiao Ting's heart was secretly speechless. At present, the three people beside Chao Gai, in addition to Lin Chong, the other two Xu Guanzhong and Meng Hu are all characters they have never heard of.

Especially that Xu Guanzhong, although this person doesn't have a lot of words, he has a deep sense of concealment. Moreover, Jiao Ting had an intuition that Chao Gai seemed to attach great importance to this person.

"I've been waiting a long time to teach a few brothers", Bao Xu came to him and said a little embarrassed.

"It's okay", Chao Gai waved his hand and smiled: "Since all the people and horses have gone down the mountain, then the two brothers Meng Hu, Bao Xu and Jiao Ting will go to the cottage!" “

Hearing this, Bao Xu and Jiao Ting were stunned, then looked at Chao Gai, and said with a puzzled expression: "Brother Tianwang doesn't go back to the cottage with me?" ”

"I still have to go to Qinghe County, and there is a brother who is currently in Qinghe County, I can't rest assured, I still want to go in person!"

Chao Gai smiled, and then said: "The two brothers can directly escort the soldiers to the cottage with the Meng Hu brothers, and at that time, the two military advisors will definitely be properly settled, and the two brothers don't have to worry!" ”

"Brother is going, if only Sect Head Lin and Brother Xu go, there are really fewer people accompanying him, if the elder brother is not far away, it is better to ask the younger brother to go with him!"

Seeing Chao Gai say this, Jiao Ting couldn't help but look at Chao Gai, and said with his fists clenched.

"Yes", Bao Xu also nodded solemnly when he saw this: "Now that there are Meng Hu brothers with him, there is no need to worry about escorting the team to the cottage." My brother doesn't have to worry about this time, but my brother's trip is dangerous, and the future is dangerous and unknown, and the safety of Brother Tianwang is of the utmost importance."

Hearing this, Xu Guanzhong also looked at Chao Gai and said: "Even so, my brother might as well let Brother Jiao Ting accompany him, and if anything happens, there will be many capable brothers to take care of him." Even though the head of the Lin Sect is an enemy of ten thousand people, if something urgent really happens, I'm afraid he will also be a little lacking in skills! ”

As he spoke, Xu Guanzhong then looked at Lin Chong on the side with a smile, Lin Chong understood, and also smiled: "Brother Xu is right." The Jiao Ting brothers are very good at their hands and feet, but this trip is just right."

Hearing this, Chao Gai nodded suddenly: "Then according to the meaning of the brothers, the two brothers Meng Hu and Bao Xu will escort the soldiers forward, and I will wait for the four of them, and go to Qinghe County, and after finding Brother Wu Songxian, we will go back to the mountain!" ”

"Little brother takes the order!"

Meng Hu and Bao Xu immediately clasped their fists and said in a deep voice. Then they turned their horses and headed north. Chao Gai and several people watched the team leave, and immediately got on their horses again, preparing to go to Qinghe County.

……

"Brother, Yanggu County is in front of you."

Xu Guanzhong immediately pointed to a somewhat prosperous county town in front of him, and said with a smile: "This Yanggu County is adjacent to Qinghe County, and we can go directly to Qinghe County when we cross Yanggu County!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Chong nodded: "Thinking about coming at this time, Brother Wu Song has been at home for more than ten days. I'll go and go back to Liangshan with him! ”

This way, they walked more slowly. Along the way, Chao Gai slowed down, intentionally or unintentionally, and searched everywhere for those heroes who were passed on by word of mouth, hoping to find something again. But now, along the way, Chao Gai has nothing else to gain except for seeing some customs and understanding some social conditions.

Chao Gai just smiled noncommittally when he heard what the two men said, and then nodded.

When everyone came to Yanggu County, they found a hotel near the city gate, and as soon as they sat down, they heard other guests in this hotel talking about something.

"Have you heard, the hero who fought the tiger has now become the head of our county government!"

"Hey, I've heard about that! However, this hero who fights tigers has become the head of our county government, and those thieves who want to come to our county government are going to live in fear, and in the future, we are afraid that there will be a peaceful life in Yanggu County......"

"Who's to say it isn't. This man can even beat that big worm to death with his bare hands, who else dares to oppose him? Isn't that the old birthday boy eating arsenic and looking for death? ”

"It's not more than that, I heard that the hero who fought the tiger was drunk on that Jingyanggang before, and the wine on Jingyanggang, who doesn't know, is it in vain to 'go out and pour'? This person has drunk eighteen bowls together, if it is an ordinary person, I don't know what it will be like to get drunk, but in this case, this person can still kill the big worm with his bare hands! ”

"That is, such a person, who does not admire. How do you say that, uh, yes, the county magistrate has a discerning eye. Fang just promoted this hero who fought the tiger to become the head of the county. You see, in the past few nights, every family has not left any roads behind, and they have not closed their doors at night, where can I see half of them going to sue the officials. ”

"That's not it, I have heard that the magistrate is very happy, and he is ready to personally feast this hero who fights tigers......

Hearing this, Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, with a stunned expression. The reason why he asked Xu Guanzhong about the location of this Yanggu County was because Chao Gai remembered clearly that the Wu Song fighting tiger in the Water Margin was on Jingyanggang, and then went to Nayanggu County to be the capital. I don't want to be like this now, but this thing is still like this, and it hasn't changed much.

"Brother", Xu Guanzhong poured a full wine for Chao Gai, holding a bowl to pay tribute to Chao Gai, but he didn't want Chao Gai to be stunned, as if he was listening to something distracted.

Hearing this, Chao Gai immediately came back to his senses, and immediately looked at the few people in front of him and smiled: "Do you know who the hero of the tiger is in their mouths?" ”

With Xu Guanzhong's "living map" accompanying them, they naturally don't have to explore the way everywhere on this trip. However, Chao Gai

With Xu Guanzhong's "living map" with him, Chao Gai and the others set off from the foot of the dead tree mountain, but they couldn't
