Sixty pounds of big knife, this young man didn't dare to hold it up, put down his luggage, tidied up his clothes, picked up the big knife from the knife shelf, opened the move, waved the knife left and right, and played more than a dozen actions.

"Good, good, good strength." The onlookers applauded.

Chao Jialou's guy is a descendant of Xu Hai selected from the village, although his skills are not good, he still has vision, otherwise he would not be allowed to take this position. The guy immediately said: "The guest officer is very skilled, please sit upstairs." ”

The man led the young man and his sister into the Chao family building, arranged directly into the upstairs private room, and served tea and pastries first.

The man reported it to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately sent someone to ask for Chao Gai.

After waiting for a while, the wine and food came up, first a large carp, then a plate of stew, then two green vegetables, and two pots of good wine.

The young man hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for being so rich." ”

The guy smiled: "It turns out that there are not 1,000 but 800 guests entertained every year, and only this year I put a big knife in front of the door." This fish is our Shuibo Liangshan specialty Yellow River carp, the meat is thick, delicate and delicious. This pot of stew is also a local specialty Wenshang Luhua chicken, which grew up grazing since childhood, eating grasshoppers and drinking mountain springs, absorbing the fresh air in the woods, and the taste is very good. You use it slowly, and if you don't have enough to eat, call me. ”

After saying that, the guy went out, leaving only the young man and his sister in the private room, and the young man's sister was a little timid, and asked weakly: "Should you ask us for money after eating?" ”

"Rest assured to eat, I have also heard some rumors about this Chao Gai, it turned out to be mixed with the rivers and lakes, the people of the rivers and lakes are the most creditful, rest assured to eat boldly."

The amount of Lu vegetables is very sufficient, the Yellow River carp is four catties a piece, and the Luhua chicken is a big rooster, and there are more than three catties of meat when stewed. The young man was also hungry, and he ate meat and drank at the same time, and after a while the plate bottomed out.

The young man scratched his head and said to his sister, "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry." ”

"I've eaten quite a bit."

As he spoke, the man came in with a tray, and put down a small porcelain basin, fragrant, sprinkled with coriander.

"Four dishes and one soup, this is the soup, a large pot of whole sheep soup, selected authentic goat meat, the taste is absolutely good, fat but not greasy, delicious and delicious." As he spoke, the man filled a bowl for each of them, and then went down.

This pot of soup also has at least four catties of meat, and the brother and sister are full of food and drink, and they are arranged to rest in the lounge for a while. The shopkeeper took out twenty taels of silver from the tray and said, "This store is a little interesting, and please accept it with a smile." ”

The young man was a little blindsided, but he didn't expect this Chao Gai to be really righteous, to give food, to pay for the journey, and not to ask for a name.

"The owner of your village is just to make friends with the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and there is no other meaning?" The young man asked.

The shopkeeper said: "The owner loves to make friends with the heroes of the rivers and lakes, the essence of setting up this system is to help friends in distress in the rivers and lakes, the people of the rivers and lakes are all over the world, who can not have a difficult time, Qin Qiong did not sell horses as a double hammer back then." There is no compulsion for the friends who come to eat. If you are convenient, you can wait here for the owner of my family, and you can leave at any time if you have something to do. ”

The young man was not shy, only the dozens of copper plates that were sold in the morning, and he was worried that his sister would starve, so he had to accept the money.

The young man said: "Thank you for your love, since the owner of your village is so anxious for justice and righteousness, I want to pay a visit here." ”

"Okay, let's go to the house to rest, my village is not far from here." The shopkeeper arranged for the two brothers and sisters to rest in the guest room.

It didn't take long for Chao Gai to take Jiao Ting to the Chao family building on a fast horse.

The man took Chao Gai to the room where the brother and sister were temporarily resting, Jiao Ting knocked on the door, and soon the young man opened the door. Chao Gai looked at this man carefully, this young man was dressed in gray cloth, and although his clothes were shabby, they were still clean. He is about 1.8 meters tall, with an angular face with slightly fair skin, a thin waist, and a strong man at first glance. The woman next to her was about eighteen years old, with clear eyebrows, beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, like peach blossoms after the rain, and her old clothes could not hide the beauty of youth.

The young man was also looking at the people, and the one who knocked on the door was a strong man with a door panel, five big and three thick, with an ugly face. Behind him is a man with a tower-like figure, with a slashing face and an axe, resolute and affinity, as if he were his big brother.

"Who are you?" The young man asked.

Chao Gai said: "In Xiayun City, Chao Gai, take the liberty to disturb and look at Haihan." ”

When the young man heard that the main owner had arrived, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Pang Wanchun, this is the sister Pang Qiuxia." ”

Chao Gai was shocked, is this God's favor for him? Pang Wanchun, the shooter who shot the six generals of Liangshan, actually came to his hotel.

Chao Gai said: "It turned out to be Brother Pang, and I am fortunate to be happy." This is my brother Jiao Ting. ”

Pang Wanchun greeted Jiao Ting again, and then invited the two into the house.

Although Pang Qiuxia is a female streamer, she is still very measured in dealing with people.

The guests sat down, Pang Wanchun gave a deep salute and said: "Thank you Chao Zhuang for your help, Wanchun is grateful." ”

Chao Gai waved his hand and said, "Don't mention some small things." What are the Wanchun brothers currently doing? ”

Pang Wanchun sighed and said: "Small but the original Hangzhou people's family, today's official family is a big Xinghua Shigang, local officials are clever and robbed, and the people are not happy, my family is also deeply affected, originally my family is also a medium family, there are 500 acres of paddy fields at home, more than 10 buffaloes, I dare not say that it is rich and expensive, but it is also worry-free." Later, because the county assigned the task of carrying a huge rockery of tens of thousands of catties to my family, the stone was in the deep mountains, and it could not be carried at all, but the road was built for dozens of miles, so my parents had to sell their property overnight and take us back to the mountains to live in seclusion. My siblings decided to go out and see if they could make a difference. ”

"Hmph, such a thief, he really deserves a thousand cuts, Jiangnan in the land of fish and rice, who is a good land of fish and rice, is really hateful because of the small rockery that makes the people miserable." Chao Gai said angrily.

Pang Qiuxia said: "My brother and sister just arrived in Yuncheng yesterday afternoon, and they took a carriage, and they only needed a penny. And the people of Yuncheng seem to be very rich, there are a lot of horses, and I see many farmers actually use horses to plough the land and pull carts, which is a pity. ”

Chao Gai said with a smile: "The two of you don't know, there are several kinds of carriages, and the bus carriage is the cheapest, and you can sit for dozens of miles for a penny, but you can't stop casually." The other kind of carriage is hired separately, and the price is much more expensive, and it can cost a hundred wen a day. As for the situation that you two brothers and sisters saw in the fields of horses plowing the fields and pulling carts, it is not that Yuncheng is rich. It turned out that the Yuan County Order here knocked the bones and sucked the marrow to make a mess of the good Yuncheng, and after I took over the Yuncheng regimental training, I saw that the people's lives were too hard, so that the horse market sold thousands of horses, cows, donkeys and other large livestock on credit, so that the people could resume production. ”

Pang Wanchun said: "Those who go south and north have never heard of giving livestock to the common people on credit." ”

Jiao Ting was a little unhappy, and said: "What is this, my brother gives the people of Yuncheng and County to the people of Yuncheng and County, but if there are old, weak, sick and disabled people who have nothing to rely on, each person can receive thirty catties of food every month." If you are sick and have no money for treatment, you can go to the pharmacy to get herbal medicine. My brother has also built more than 20 new schools, and when they are completed, children in the county will be able to go to school. ”

Pang Wanchun was very surprised, he originally thought that Chao Gai was just giving some silver money to the Jianghu people with some skills to leave a good reputation, but he didn't expect to help ordinary people so much, and immediately understood that Chao Gai's ambition was not small.

"The owner of Chaozhuang is kind-hearted." Pang Wanchun said.

The hotel guy watched the tea, Chao Gai and Pang Wanchun chatted carefully, Chao Gai actually knew that Pang Wanchun had the title of Xiao Yangyouji in a hundred steps, but it was not easy to say it directly, and asked: "Brother Wanchun, what martial arts are you proficient in." ”

Pang Wanchun smiled slightly: "Eighteen kinds of weapons have been studied, swords and horses are used in foot combat, and only bows are proficient." ”

Chao Gai secretly said that Pang Wanchun's martial arts are indeed good, just like Lin Chong, he has superb martial arts and looks down on Wang Lun, if this kind of person does not suppress him, it will be difficult to use it in the future.

Chao Gai laughed: "I also use a knife in foot combat, a halberd in horse warfare, and only a bow proficient." ”

Pang Wanchun was taken aback and said, "I didn't expect that the owner of Chao Zhuang is also a person who uses a bow." ”

Chao Gai said: "Since your brother and sister are here, and there is nothing important, why don't you go with me to visit the group training, how about we learn skills by the way?" How?"

"Okay, it's okay to have nothing to do."

Jiao Ting arranged for the shopkeeper to prepare two horses for Pang Wanchun and Pang Xiuxia brothers and sisters, and a group of four people rushed to the barracks, and the scenery along the road surprised Pang Wanchun, people's mental outlook is very good, the farmland is neat, and the crops are green.

Chao Gai said proudly: "Is there a taste of the north and the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

"The water network is vertical and horizontal, there is so much taste of Jiangnan, and now Jiangnan is full of devastation, except for those tea merchants and silk merchants are still thriving, and ordinary people are living in dire straits." Pang Wanchun said.

Chao Gai said: "You mean that you are dissatisfied with the official family. ”

Pang Wanchun was taken aback: "I didn't say it. ”

"Haha, Brother Wanchun, don't be afraid, I'm a soil overlord in Yuncheng County, and you have nothing to do with me if you are dissatisfied with the official family." Chao Gai laughed.

Pang Wanchun was originally a little disdainful of Chao Gai's so-called regimental training army, and the forbidden army had been rotten into a pot of porridge in recent years, not to mention the local village soldiers. But as soon as he arrived at the door, Pang Wanchun felt different, the four soldiers standing guard at the door stood straight, holding the spear in their hands and not moving, if it wasn't for the real sight, he thought it was a sculpture. Even Chao Gai had to show his waist card when he entered the camp gate, and the soldiers checked it very carefully.

"Brother Wanchun, please." Chao Gai guided Pang Wanchun and Pang Qiuxia, brothers and sisters, to the camp, and happened to meet Liu Tang, who had returned from military training.

Chao Gai said: "Liu Tang, this is Pang Wanchun, a famous marksman, you accompany the two of them first, and I will go to the treasury to find two sets of clothes and a few good arrows." ”

Liu Tang led Pang Wanchun and Pang Qiuxia to the tent where the guests were received to rest temporarily, and in less than a moment, Chao Gai found two sets of armor, dozens of wolf tooth arrows, two waist knives, and two steel guns.

Pang Wanchun's suit of armor still fits, but Pang Qiuxia's suit is bigger, but it can also make do, sassy and heroic five-foot guns, and he doesn't like red makeup and arms.

Chao Gai said: "Since the two of you are dressed, let's go to the school field." ”

"Okay." Pang Wanchun said.

"Liu Tang."

"Yes."

"Assemble the cavalry."
