The two soldiers who stayed in Pingshan's hometown also recruited nearly 200 people with the help of the villagers, which is a bit unsatisfactory, you must know that there are hundreds of villages in Pingshan, and the population is also quite large, but there are not many people who sign up, of course, this is the reason, because although the villages in this area are poor and scum, they all have their own land, and there are many wild games in the mountains, so they can eat together. Most of these 200 or so people wanted to join the army or work as carpenters, blacksmiths, and other craftsmen.

Jiao Ting returned to Pingshan Village and called his father, second uncle, third uncle, and two brothers-in-law and sister to hold a family meeting. Jiao Ting said: "This time I went to Lingshou to recruit people and caused a lot of trouble, I'm afraid there will be troubles." ”

Dad said: "You kid is capable, if you get into trouble, just say it, and have some family meetings." ”

"I didn't cause this trouble, it was me who found it. We are just recruiting long-term workers in Lingshou, and we have a conflict with Tian Biao, who is also a long-term worker, and it was originally a fight, and there is nothing to do, so it is not a feud. But I didn't expect that this Tian Biao regarded the area around Zhending as their own territory, and sent thirty swordsmen to intercept and kill me on the way back. Jiao Ting said.

Daddy Jiao pouted and didn't speak. The third uncle of Jiao Ting, that is, the father of the second baby, scolded: "His grandmother is a bear, does no one in our old Jiao family bully, she actually dares to kill people, and she set fire to his hometown." ”

"Yes, yes, go find them." The second uncle also said.

After all, the two brothers-in-law are foreign surnames, so it's not easy to say it first, just to say that they are all a family, and if you have any orders for us to do it, we will do it. Father Jiao said, "How are you, are you injured?" What about them? ”

"The five of us are fine, the second baby may be scared, the third uncle will go back to enlighten and enlighten, if you can pass this level, you will go to become a soldier, and if you can't pass this level, you will farm at home." Jiao Ting said.

The third uncle said: "No, the second baby, this child dares to kill pigs and sheep, can you still be scared in a fight?" ”

"Just as I was about to fight, the reinforcements sent by Yuncheng arrived, this team of people and horses was too fierce, and directly killed thirty black-clothed people, and there were fragments all over the ground, otherwise Erwa couldn't be scared. After such a fuss, Tian Biao must be even more jealous of me, I don't care, it's safe to go back to Yuncheng, I'm afraid that he will retaliate against you. ”

The third uncle said: "If you don't go to him, you will burn high incense, and you dare to take revenge on us." Our people are all brave and ruthless, and there is a thing that can call hundreds of numbers, and I am really not afraid of him. ”

Father Jiao couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded: "The third stinky problem has been committed again, if you don't brag, you can suffocate to death." ”

The second uncle played a round and said, "Let's listen to the eldest brother." ”

Father Jiao thought for a while and said: "The terrain near us is dangerous, there are many villages, and there are many men, the so-called Pingshan County exists in name only, and there are no garrisons, Tian Hu will come here sooner or later to pull Zhuangding." Tian Hu is just a puppet, he can't be a big deal, we can't accompany him to death, so we have to protect ourselves. First of all, prestige is not a problem, in these ten miles and eight towns, my skills are reasonable. The second and third children can also fight and kill, and then set up a gong in a few nearby villages and send people to guard it, once there is a situation, it is not a problem to gather seven or eight hundred people when the gong is sounded. It's just that weapons are a problem, and those with hoes and shovels are not the top of the matter. ”

Jiao Ting said: "I have brought back the thirty steel knives that were captured, and they can be used as weapons for our village's henchman Zhuang Ding." In addition, I still have hundreds of bonuses, which have been deposited in the Military Merit Office and have not been received, and it is still possible to buy hundreds of Pu knives from the iron factory with this money. At least what I was given was the reserve price, which was much lower than the market price. ”

Father Jiao shook his head: "It's not proper, your Yuncheng group practice has a very good relationship with the government, but our mountain is different, and the relationship with the government has always been not very harmonious. A two-foot-long wooden handle and a two-pound axe. Not only can they cut down trees and cut trees, but they can also fight and retreat from the enemy, and the government can't say anything. ”

"Alright, alright, just the axe. When I returned to Zhending Mansion, I wrote a letter to deliver it from Cangzhou, but before that, the second and third uncles first pulled up the strong men, built a sentry post, and placed a gong. Jiao Ting said.

Just do it, this is all a foundation, otherwise you can't pull up the militia team for no reason, what is the foundation, of course, the Liao State used to often invade the Great Song Dynasty, and large-scale invasions were relatively rare, but it was a common thing for small forces to invade and fight the grass valley. The government is weak and incompetent, regardless of the small invasion, the people can only rely on themselves, and Daddy Jiao in the Pingshan area was the leader of the militia, and he was also a celebrity.

Jiao Ting's father is in command, but after all, he is a little old, and the second and third uncles will do the specific things. Jiao Ting saw that things were arranged at home, and he couldn't stay at home for a long time. Bidding farewell to his father, Jiao Ting returned to Zhending with the cavalry.

In the inn, Li Kui and Bao Xu were in a hurry.

As soon as Li Kui met, he said: "I thought you were talking about your daughter-in-law at home, and you only came over in the past two days." ”

Jiao Ting said: "I was going to talk about my daughter-in-law, but time is tight, so let's talk about it later." I stayed at home because I was worried that Tian Biao would go to my house to take revenge, so I asked my father to organize some Zhuang Ding teams, so that I could take care of them, so as not to have worries. ”

Li Kui said: "It's not simple, let's just chop up Tian Biao's kid and hang it out." ”

Ma Ling was busy recruiting people, Li Kui, Jiao Ting, and Bao Xu discussed, Bao Xu said: "Tian Biao has already sent someone to kill you, what is there to hesitate about, I will touch it tonight, go to the old store of the Sun family and arrest Tian Biao, ask clearly, and solve the problem at one time." ”

Li Kui also said the same thing, these two reckless people have nothing to fear of them.

Jiao Ting said: "I always feel inappropriate, think about it, since the knife hand has been failing for several days, Tian Biao naturally already knows about it, and he will definitely not continue to live in the old store of the Sun family, I am afraid that we will go in vain." ”

"Otherwise, the old store of the Sun family should be the store opened by Tian Biao, it is Tian Biao's nest in Zhending Mansion, let's go tonight, if Tian Biao is here, then it will be easy to do, catch Tian Biao, let him eat my two axes, if not, then it will be easy to do, just catch the shop owner and ask about the situation, if it is Tian Biao's industry, we will give him a fire, in short, we can't say nothing, let Tian Biao feel that we are weak and can be bullied." Li Kui said.

Jiao Ting thought about it, and it was the same thing. Chao Gai also does things in this style, always very hard, rarely weak.

"Alright, let's go tonight."

In the evening, after more than nine o'clock, the old store of the grandson family outside the west gate of Zhending Mansion gradually deserted, there were almost no guests eating and drinking in the lobby, the shop guy put the towel on his shoulder, yawned and was ready to close the door, when he was closing the door panel, suddenly a big hand stopped him, raised his head and slashed a frightened butt sat there, it turned out that Li Kui bared his teeth and smiled at him, Li Kui didn't smile and looked better, and a smile was more scary.

"Man, don't be afraid, I'll ask you, Tian Biao is not there."

The guy asked, "Oh, Tian Biao, he's in the store, do you have anything to do with him?" ”

"We want to beat him up." Li Kui said.

The shopkeeper saw that there was still a large group of people behind Li Kui, and shouted: "Someone is making trouble, the idea is hard." ”

This is a black word, Bao Xu has been mixed with the rivers and lakes, and understands this, which means that they are all good hands, and they are not easy to deal with, so they are called hard ideas. The big sword in Bao Xu's hand leaned forward, and the sharp big sword cut through the man's neck. At this moment, trotting footsteps sounded in the store, click, click, click. It's actually neat. Jiao Ting, Li Kui, and Bao Xu each took a weapon, and they were ready to kill them with their people. This team of people appeared, and it was okay to come out in front, Yishui's single knife, this group of people was obviously the same group as the people who intercepted and killed Jiao Ting, and there were also about thirty people. But the people who came out in the back were different, more than 20 people were all holding small flower guns. The one-meter-five-high small flower spear is the best to use.

There are almost fifty people, except for the knife is a flower gun, and the momentum is not weak, but the people brought by Jiao Ting, Li Kui, and Bao Xu are stronger, and the comparison between the plate axe and the big sword weapon is more advantageous than the single knife and the small flower gun.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a few minutes, and a person slowly came down from the upper floor of the inn, this person was wearing a strong suit of cowhide armor, nine feet tall, with a big waist and a round waist, a cold face, and he looked twenty-five or sixteen years old, holding two iron swords in his hands, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you, what are you looking for my third son." ”

Jiao Ting said: "In Jiao Ting, I want to ask your third son to understand something." ”

"My son-in-law has fallen asleep, tell me something." It's humane.

Jiao Ting asked: "Who are you, can you be the master?" ”

"In Xia Sun An, the shopkeeper of the Sun family's old store, he naturally became the master." It turned out that this person was called Sun An, and the rivers and lakes were also famous, and he had a nickname called Dragon Slayer, not that Sun An killed the dragon, but that Sun An used to kill crocodiles in the hotel and sell meat, and this crocodile was also considered to be a kind of dragon at that time, so he got such a nickname. Sun An has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was born tall and tall, but he is also literate and literate.

Li Kui doesn't care about this: "If you kill people to pay off your debts and pay off your debts, and if you dare to send someone to intercept and kill us, you should think of this fate." Look at you are also a man, do you dare to come over and fight. ”

Sun An said: "This room is narrow, you dare to fight in the backyard." ”

Li Kui pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you dare." ”

The two sides went to the backyard of the old store of the Sun family, the backyard area is quite large, with the scale of two or three acres of land, and the land is not very valuable in these years. Li Kui shouted: "Look at the axe." The big plate axe slashed at the head, Sun An dodged sideways, and returned the blow with his legs. Li Kui split four axes, all of which allowed Sun An to dodge, and kicked Li Kui. Jiao Ting could see that Sun An was not only strong, but also technical, Li Kui was not an opponent, and said: "You two go to deal with those swordsmen, and I will deal with Sun An." ”
