Ruan Xiaoqi and Chao Gai rushed all the way, and because they had a good horse to walk, their speed suddenly increased a lot. The two estimated that even if it was a delayed journey, if the two of them chased with all their might, they would be able to catch up with Lin Niangzi in one day at most.

"Brother, you see, the horse in front of you is very similar to the horse of you and me. Do you think it will be, that fat monk is the person that Duan Jingzhu's brother said before? ”

The two walked for a long time, turned a corner, Ruan Xiaoqi had sharp eyes, looked at the two people and a horse on the side of the road not far in front of him, and suddenly turned his head to Chao Gai and said.

"It's possible".

Chao Gai nodded and said. Hearing Ruan Xiaoqi say this, Chao Gai suddenly remembered what Duan Jingju said before, because the man was in a hurry because of the lack of money, he grabbed the horse and fled. The two people resting on the side of the road in front of him, especially the fat monk, judging from the horse tied to the tree beside him, this person was very likely to be the person Duan Jingzhu said.

Thinking of this, Chao Gai suddenly became a little vigilant. If this person really went to Lin Niangzi, the first problem was to find out whether he was friend or foe. If it's a friend, it's fine, but if it's an enemy, I'm afraid you need to be careful. According to Duan Jingju, his subordinates followed him to the north and south, which can be regarded as some martial arts, but he was easily injured by this person, and he still kept his hand. Obviously, this person's martial arts are quite good.

Chao Gai thought like this, and he and Ruan Xiaoqi had already arrived in front of the fat monk.

"Hey, please stay, you two."

Lu Zhishen couldn't think of a way for a while, and he was already in a hurry. I am worried that if I waste time like this again, it may be difficult to catch up with Lin Niangzi and her party in front. At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when I looked up, I saw the two people in front of me riding towards me.

Seeing that these two people were approaching, Lu Zhishen suddenly had a plan, shouted, took the Zen staff with his hand, and stood in the middle of the road to stop Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi who came to him.

Hiss......

Seeing that the fat monk in front of him suddenly rushed out to block his way, Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly pulled the horse tightly, and at the same time exerted force under them, and their legs tightly clamped the horse's belly. With two sudden neighing of horses, the two finally stopped.

"You monk, don't you want to die?"

Seeing that the other party actually stopped him again, Ruan Xiaoqi asked angrily.

"Two heroes, the Sprinkle family had no choice but to stop the two, it was really an urgent matter, and I hope the two strong men will forgive me." Seeing Ruan Xiaoqi's questioning, Lu Zhishen was not annoyed, and then hugged his fists and bowed to Ruan Xiaoqi and Chao Gai to apologize.

Chao Gai saw the fat monk in front of him behaving like this, and couldn't help but look at the other party carefully. This person is eight feet long, with a wide face and big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, a large string of Buddhist beads hanging on his chest, and a heavy water-mill Zen staff in his hand.

"Two good men, I don't know if I can borrow a horse. Right now, this old man's leg injury has recurred, and he can't walk, and the two of us have 100,000 urgent matters, and we can't delay, so I hope the two of you can make it convenient", Lu Zhishen said this, but his eyes looked at Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi in front of him earnestly. Although he didn't know the two people in front of him, his intuition told him that the two people in front of him were probably extraordinary.

"Who am I", Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly smiled when he heard this, looked at Lu Zhishen and said, "It turned out to be a horse thief." I couldn't afford to pay the price of the horse before, so I robbed the horse and ran away. ”

Well?

Hearing this, Lu Zhishen was stunned. Then he noticed that the horses that the two people were riding in front of him were very similar to his own, and they were both good horses. Suddenly, Lu Zhishen understood something.

"Hey, the matter is urgent, and the monk has no choice but to do it. Waiting for this matter, after the monk takes the gold and silver, he will return it twice", seeing that Ruan Xiaoqi had broken the matter of stealing the horse before, Lu Zhishen was also a little ashamed, and couldn't help shaking his head and said. After a pause, seeing that the two people in front of him did not react, he immediately clasped his fists again and pleaded: "Please also ask the two heroes to make it convenient, at this time, people's lives are at stake, and they can't be delayed." When it is done, the Sprinkle family invites the two of them to drink, and then returns the double horse money."

"Huh?"

"Do you want to make it easier? Is life at stake? You just said that you have a big matter of life, so we are not in a hurry? I don't think you're a serious monk. If we don't agree, will you really want to rob it? Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help laughing.

"If I don't agree, I'm afraid I'm really going to embarrass Master Lu", without waiting for Lu Zhishen to speak, Chao Gai took a step forward, looked at the fat monk in front of him and laughed and said, "Master Lu, do you say yes or no?" ”

"You...... Do you know the Sprinkle family? Lu Zhishen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"Flower monk Lu Zhishen, I have heard of the famous for a long time, I don't want to meet here, fortunately, fortunately", Chao Gai smiled at Lu Zhishen.

"How dare you", Lu Zhishen saw that the other party really knew himself, and couldn't help but look at the two people in front of him again: "Please forgive me for being clumsy, I don't know the names of the two heroes."

"Xiao Qi", Chao Gai smiled at Ruan Xiaoqi: "This is the fierce general under the old Zhong Jing's slightly public account, Lu Dalu Tizhi."

"Ho", Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Isn't it a good man who uprooted the weeping willows in Tokyo before, the flower monk Lu Zhishen?" ”

"Ho", Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly arched his hand at Lu Zhishen in front of him and said, "I don't know that Master Lu is in front, Xiaoqi is offended."

As he spoke, seeing Lu Zhishen's puzzled expression, he couldn't help but explain again: "Little brother Ruan Xiaoqi, the master of the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname Living Yama. This is the king of Chao Gai Chao."

"Chao Gai Chao Heavenly King?"

Lu Zhishen said, he couldn't help but think of something, and looked at Chao Gai with a pair of sharp eyes: "Isn't it Chao Gai, the Tota Heavenly King who was rumored to be suddenly infected with a vicious disease and miraculously returned to the yang on the rivers and lakes before?" ”

"Ahh

"Master Lu knows me?" , Ruan Xiaoqi said with some surprise. Thinking about it, he felt that the three brothers were just fishermen in Shijie Village, and what kind of fame could he have in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't want Lu Zhishen to know about him.

"The Ruan family brothers, all heroes, have heard of it on the rivers and lakes, how can the Sprinkle family not know, but they don't want to meet here today", Lu Zhishen laughed: "But the little seven brothers are masters, but the Sprinkle family is deserved." What the Shicai Xiaoqi brothers said is true, the Sprinkle family is not a serious monk now."

Hearing this, Chao Gai and Ruan Xiaoqi both laughed. This is the first time Chao Gai has seen this legendary figure in the Water Margin, but it was this short encounter that made Chao Gai look sideways at Lu Zhishen. This person can still laugh like this at this time, which shows that he has a down-to-earth temperament, is free and uninhibited, and is a good man with a true temperament.

"How could Master Lu be here?"

Chao Gai didn't have too much politeness, so he went straight to the point and asked: "What Master Shicai Lu said about the important matter of human life, I don't know if it is related to the leopard head Lin Chong?" ”

"How could King Chao know about this?" Seeing Chao Gai's words, Lu Zhishen was suddenly surprised: "It's hard to ......"

"Not bad", Chao Gai nodded: "The two of us are also here for the matter of Sect Leader Lin."
