Wu Song went to resign, although Chai Daguan had some doubts in his heart, he was also happy in every way, and he admired Chao Gai even more.

Previously, Chai Daguan did not touch nails in front of this Wu Er, and it was not easy for him to come forward to drive him out. As soon as Chao Gai came forward now, he didn't know what to say, so Wu Er asked to leave by himself.

As for whether this Wu Song will go to Liangshan to join the gang, then he has no curiosity at all. It seems that he has no name and no point, and he Chai Jin really can't raise that kind of interest.

After Wu Song left, Chao Gai couldn't bear Chai Jin's hard stay, and a few people stayed in Chai Jinzhuang for two days before Chai Jin left reluctantly. However, at this time, it was Chao Gai's side, but there was one more person, and that person was Xu Guanzhong who Chao Gai had seen on Chai Jinzhuang before.

Xu Guanzhong naturally also needed to resign from Chai Jin, and said that he had seen Chao Gai coming, and had always wanted to go to Liangshan to join the gang, but he had no chance. Seeing this, Chao Gai naturally expressed his willingness to teach Xu Zhong to go up the mountain in front of Chai Jin.

Seeing that "Xu Zhong" and Chao Gai in front of him were willing to fight and suffer, Chai Jin naturally didn't want to say anything more, and immediately nodded happily. After all, this Xu Zhong is just an extremely ordinary banker in his village. He Chai Jin is not someone's biological parents, how can he restrain the footsteps of others.

Chai Jin kept sending Chao Gai and the four people out of ten miles before waving goodbye. Chao Gai and Chai Jin said goodbye and left, looking at Xu Guanzhong beside him, at this time he had nothing to ask for, and he was about to return to Liangshan at the moment.

"Brother Tianwang is in a hurry to return to the cottage right now?"

Seeing that Chao Gai said that he was going to leave for Liangshan, Xu Guanzhong looked at Chao Gai with a smile and said.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Chao Gai suddenly looked at Xu Guanzhong with some hesitation, and the other party seemed to have something to say.

There is nothing urgent at the moment, if there is something, Ma Ling will definitely come to inform them, and they know that they are coming to Cangzhou to visit Chai Jin.

"Sixty or seventy miles to the west of here, there is a small hill called Dry Tree Mountain. On this mountain, there is an ancient tree, which withered for a hundred years and did not die, so it got its name. There are two leaders on this Dry Tree Mountain, gathered five or six hundred small minions, and there are two or three hundred war horses under their command, occupying the ...... of the Dead Tree Mountain", Xu Guanzhong saw that Chao Gai looked hesitant, and then slowly explained.

"Dead Tree Mountain?"

When Chao Gai heard this name, he was stunned for a moment, and then two names appeared in his mind, and he looked at Xu Guanzhong in front of him and said, "What Brother Xu said, isn't it the mourning god Bao Xu and the faceless Jiao Ting?" ”

Hearing Chao Gai shout out the names and nicknames of these two people, Xu Guanzhong couldn't help but be taken aback again, and then said with a smile: "I don't want Brother Tianwang to know about the two of them!" It's just that I don't know if Brother Tianwang is interested in these two? ”

Hearing this, Chao Gai was stunned. It's okay to say that this is faceless, but this mourning god Bao Xu, in Chao Gai's impression, this person was arranged to be Li Kui's deputy in the original Water Margin, and he did a good job, but what is this person's temperament, it seems that in his impression, this person's reputation is not very good.

"I want to come to Brother Tianwang, do you have some doubts, that Bao Xu, the god of mourning?" , It seemed that he knew what Chao Gai was thinking, Xu Guanzhong then said with a smile.

When Chao Gai heard this, he didn't hide it and nodded slightly.

"Brother Tianwang doesn't know, it is rumored that Bao Xu, the god of mourning, likes to kill, but it is a rumor! Not only is this person not a murderous demon, but he is an extremely loyal person", Xu Guanzhong shook his head and explained with a smile.

It turned out that this mourning god Bao Xu was originally born in a wealthy family and had a lot of wealth, but his parents later disliked the ugliness of his birth, so they adopted a son from outside. This stepson is clever by nature and has been loved by thousands of people, but his own son Bao Xu has been snubbed. And the stepson's heart is even more vicious, squeezing out Bao Xu everywhere. Seeing this, Bao Xu only felt that there was no place for him in this family, so he ran away from home, and then learned a skill due to fate.

Bao Xu wandered away for four or five years, went home to visit, did not want his parents to have passed away due to illness, the younger brother of the family directly swept him out, for fear that he would take away his family business and property, and the stepson also bought off the government and directly exiled Bao Xu, so that he would never return to the state and county.

Bao Xu always felt that this matter was strange, and then went to find out in private, but he didn't want to, his parents were actually killed by his stepbrother. Then, Bao Xu immediately went to the door and killed the so-called brother, and then he was afraid that the government would come to investigate, so he directly fled to Dry Tree Mountain with all the furniture.

"That's exactly what happened!"

When Chao Gai heard this, he immediately glanced at Lin Chong and Meng Hu with a look of surprise.

"I only found out about this matter when I chatted with another villager in Chaijiazhuang before", Xu Guanzhong looked at Chao Gai and said: "He was originally a fellow villager of Bao Xu, so he knows this matter very clearly!" ”

"In that case, I might as well go to the Dead Tree Mountain! If Bao Xu and Jiao Ting can go to the cottage, they will be even more happy! Hearing this, Chao Gai paused and said.

After learning about Bao Xu, Chao Gai naturally lost his previous prejudices against him. Chao Gai remembered that in the original Water Margin, Bao Xu, the god of mourning, ranked 60th when he was in Liangshan.

In contrast, it was the Jiao Ting, and Chao Gai was more interested. That Jiao Ting's nickname has no face, but it refers to this person who doesn't like to talk about friendship, and goes straight to the point. This person is also regarded as a strange person in Liangshan in the original Water Margin, originally suitable for the Zhongshan Mansion people's clan, three generations of ancestors, sumo wrestling for a living, born in a sumo family, and then lived in the rivers and lakes, and ranked ninety-eighth in Liangshan in the Water Margin.

If these two people can be obtained, the Liangshan Bobu army will take two good leaders. This kind of thing, Chao Gai naturally wants to give it a try.

"That being the case, I will go while this is the case. The Dead Tree Mountain is not very far away, turn the woods here, and then pass the hill in front of you, and you can probably see it faintly! Xu Guanzhong said with a smile. Chao Gai's thirst for talent, he can naturally see it.

"It's okay, then please ask Brother Xu to lead the way, I'll go to the Dry Tree Mountain later!" , Chao Gai nodded, and said with a wave of his big hand.

About half a day later, Chao Gai and his party of four came to the foot of the dead tree mountain.

Chao Gai looked over and saw that on the mountain of dead trees in front of him, the trees were sparse and sparse, but they were permeated with some withered yellow meaning. The whole hill is not very steep, and even in the center it seems to be a little gentle, leading from the base of the mountain to the top of the mountain. At a glance, it is inconspicuous.

Lin Chong glanced at Meng Hu, Meng Hu nodded, and was just about to make some noise, but he didn't want to hear some rustling sounds in his ears.

"Stop, who are you waiting for?"

Then, Chao Gai and the others saw that there were about a dozen people with swords in their hands outflanking them from both sides. As he spoke, he surrounded the four of them.

Seeing this, Meng Hu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the minions who came and sighed softly: "I'm here to see the owner of your village." Quickly went to report, and said that someone from Shuibo Liangshan came to ask to see Bao Xu and Jiao Ting, the two owners of the village in Dry Tree Mountain! ”

Seeing that Meng Hu in front of him was not a tiger, he was staring at him with a cold face, and the other three people beside him were even more extraordinary. These minions didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and one of them then said to Meng Hu: "That is the case, please wait a while, the villain will go and report!" ”

As soon as the minions' words fell, and as soon as they turned around, everyone only heard a somewhat thick cry in front of them: "No need, I want to see which Liangshan hero came to my Dry Tree Mountain!" ”

When the words fell, a somewhat sturdy figure suddenly appeared in front of Chao Gai and several people. The man's hair was shaved very short, his face was round, his eyes were very different, his arms were bare, his muscles were knotted, and he seemed to be full of explosive power.

"The owner of the village!"

Seeing this, those minions immediately looked at the man in front of them with a look of awe on their faces.

"Your Excellency, isn't that faceless and anxious?" , Meng Hu looked at the man in front of him and said. At present, since this minion calls this person the owner of the village, I think this person must be one of Bao Xu and Jiao Ting.

"Not bad", the man was not surprised to see that his identity was revealed, but looked at the four Chao Gai in front of him: "Who are you waiting for Liangshan, what are you doing?" ”

"It's a shameless one, it's really extraordinary!"

Chao Gai looked at Jiao Ting, chuckled, and then said to the other party: "Contemptible Chao Gai, this time I have come to visit the two masters of the village in Dry Tree Mountain!" These three are my Liangshan brothers, the leopard head Lin Chong brothers, Xu Guanzhong brothers, and Meng Hu brothers! ”

"You...... You are Chao Gai...... Chao Tianwang? ”

Hearing this, Na Jiao Ting was startled, looked at Chao Gai with two eyes, and said with a look of disbelief.

Earlier, he thought that someone was coming to make trouble, but he happened to be patrolling the neighborhood and rushed over. On the way here, when he heard Meng Hu's words, saying that he was from Liangshan, Jiao Ting was even more hesitant. Good manner, why did he Liangshan come to his own little-known Dead Tree Mountain, could it be that someone above came to discount Liangshan's signboard to make trouble?

At this time, when he heard Chao Gai in front of him say his identity, he suddenly felt a little incredulous. Nowadays, on the rivers and lakes, who has not heard of Chao Gai's name. In his own opinion, this person has an extraordinary momentum, but he doesn't want this person to be that Chao Gai.

"Exactly!"

Chao Gai nodded, chuckled again and said, "It's like a fake!" ”

When Jiao Ting heard this, he looked at Chao Gai, and then at Lin Chong, who was surrounded by leopard heads and eyes beside Chao Gai, and suddenly did not doubt him. Although he had never seen Chao Gai himself, at a glance, there was no doubt that the person beside him must be the leopard head Lin Chong.

"Jiao Ting didn't know that King Chao was here in person, hoping to beg for forgiveness!"
