Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Conclusion of the Covenant

Senior brother Meng Guangyuan didn't know that Qiu Shao'an had already bought the horse bandits in Crab Mountain, and when he saw Qiu Shao'an returning from a great victory over everyone in Hutou Mountain, he seemed to be unhappy, and couldn't help but smile at Qiu Shao'an: "Brother Qiu, you see all the heroes in Hutou Mountain, how is their combat power?" On the night of going down the mountain, so many war horses were captured, and the strength should not be underestimated. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When Qiu Shaoan heard this, he saw that Liu Gouwa also noticed him, so he hurriedly put away the unhappy look on his face, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Yes, it's really impressive, I didn't expect them to go down the mountain and completely wipe out a well-known and powerful Crab Mountain, hehe." ”

Qiu Shao'an laughed more ugly than crying, Liu Gouwa knew that he also had suffering, a cottage that he had just bought, and in an instant, he let himself get rid of it, not to mention the loss of property, but also the loss of a powerful assistant, which was a slap in the face to him. But Qiu Shao'an's bribery of various cottages in Songcheng couldn't be announced, so Qiu Shao'an felt uncomfortable when he was dumb and ate coptis, so he had to endure it.

Liu Gouwa pretended not to see Qiu Shao'an's ugly look, and when she heard the praise of one of them against her will, she couldn't help but bow her hand to the two and said modestly: "Let the two of you laugh, let's go down the mountain this time, but we just used some unsavory means to catch them off guard, which is not much strength." ”

"Haha, it's useless to see people, as long as you can win, it's a good means, Brother Qiu, don't you say?" The elder brother laughed.

"Yes, what Brother Meng said makes a lot of sense." When Qiu Shaoan heard this, he also forgot about the unhappiness just now, and echoed with a smile.

"Unexpectedly, the two of them drew their swords against each other yesterday, but now they are confidants who have shared their grievances, congratulations, hehe." Liu Gouwa couldn't help but congratulate them when they saw their current brothers, eldest brothers, and short brothers, singing and harmonizing.

Before going down the mountain, the senior brother and Qiu Shaoan and others, in order to win over Hutou Mountain, the relationship was still a little stiff, and now they haven't seen each other overnight, they have already called brothers and brothers, Liu Gouwa doesn't know what consensus they have reached in private, but he knows that he is now a fragrant glutton, sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, no matter which of them wins, he is the role of a fisherman, and he can't help but be calm.

"Haha, Brother Liu laughed, let's not know each other if we don't fight." Senior Brother Meng Guangyuan then laughed.

"Yes, our Tang and Shu countries are not undying enemies, why should we draw our swords against each other, the enemy we have to deal with is only the Jin Kingdom." Qiu Shaoan also said with a smile.

"The two of you have reached a consensus to cooperate in the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom?" Liu Gouwa heard them say that the Jin Kingdom was their common enemy, and knew that they had secretly concluded an alliance, and couldn't help but be stunned, they were still arguing over their identity and name yesterday, who is qualified to rule the world, but now they have to work together.

"Yes, the Jin State has been stealing the Central Plains for many years, and has long lost the hearts of the people, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and we can only relieve the people from hanging upside down if the two countries join the Northern Expedition. Qiu Shaoan smiled and said, "At that time, I will invite Lord Liu Zhai to participate in the grand event to help our two countries together, and when the Northern Expedition is successful, the imperial court will reward meritorious deeds, and the glory and wealth of the heroes of Hutou Mountain will be inexhaustible." ”

Liu Gouwa listened to Qiu Shao'an's righteousness, and the promise was outrageous, and before she had a single stroke, she wanted to empty the white wolf, and her heart was cold, and she didn't know whether the court you were talking about was Tang or Shu.

Seeing that the senior brother Meng Guangyuan was also standing aside, looking at himself with a smile, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but smile and said: "We have few people in Hutou Mountain, and we lack training, and we are besieged by the officers and soldiers under the mountain to starve. ”

"Brother Liu said with a smile, the military horses you just robbed from the mountain are a treasure, as long as the heroes on the mountain are trained a little, they will be a cavalry force that cannot be ignored, besides, Brother Wei and Brother Qiu have discussed, our Shu and Tang countries are willing to jointly help Hutou Mountain with some money, food and property, so as to help Brother Liu recruit troops and horses and strengthen their strength, how about it?" The senior brother listened to Liu Gouwa's words and knew that he was asking for money and food from Shu and Tang Countries, but if he wanted the horses to run, he had to feed the horses some grass, so the senior brother had to promise Liu Gouwa.

Liu Gouwa is a bandit, there is no distinction between countries, and there is no effective death for Tang and Shu, but he just intends to get some benefits from Tang and Shu, and Tang and Shu also have the intention to use themselves, so they have to have some property to win them over. At that moment, Liu Gouwa, senior brother Meng Guangyuan, and Qiu Shaoan reached a verbal agreement in Hutou Mountain General Hall.

The next day, the mountain bandits who went down the mountain to inquire about the information returned to the mountain to report, and the Songzhou government issued an announcement that a group of stubborn bandits entrenched in Crab Mountain had been exterminated by the state government officials and troops the day before yesterday, and one of the bandits had been captured, and he had been beheaded for public display, and the head had been submitted to the imperial court for merit.

Everyone in Hutou Mountain knows that the bandit leader who was beheaded is the big brother of the horse bandit who escaped from Crab Mountain. Presumably after he escaped, he went to the state city to defect to Shi Weiyi, who saw that he had lost the horse team of Crab Mountain and had no use value, so he was angry and angry, so he killed him and asked the court for credit.

The bandit leader of Crab Mountain became the credit of Shi Weiyi's door, which made those Crab Mountain captives on Hutou Mountain feel sorry and very angry. They had lived together for many years, and they had been brothers and sisters for many years, and they had more or less some feelings, but now when they heard that Shi Weiyi unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, and his eldest brother died tragically in the hands of Shi Weiyi, they couldn't help but grit their teeth with hatred for Shi Weiyi.

Liu Gouwa led the people of Hutou Mountain to exterminate the horse bandits in Crab Mountain, but Shi Weiyi reported to the imperial court, and Liu Gouwa also despised his behavior for his own merits.

On the third day, there was a person from Tang Guo secretly sent an envoy with Qiu Shao'an to report that Tang Tianqin's eldest uncle had died of illness the day before yesterday, and Tang Tianqin and Tang Ying choked and came to say goodbye to Liu Gouwa.

Liu Gouwa heard Tang Tianqin say that the last time she was in Xiao Song City in a hurry to rush back, her eldest uncle was seriously ill once, and then after treatment, she slowly got better again, and she came north to Hutou Mountain with confidence to find herself. Now that the two have met for a long time, the sad news of her eldest uncle's death suddenly came, which made her sad.

Liu Gouwa saw Tang Tianqin's pear blossom sobbing with rain, and felt sympathy, and couldn't help but comfort: "Tianqin, people can't be resurrected after death, let's mourn and change, the most important thing now is to rush back to see his old man for the last time, didn't you say that his body has gotten better?" ”

"Uncle's body was originally getting better, but I heard from the reporter that the uncle suffered three days ago... The third lady was angry, and her body turned sharply, and she couldn't afford to get sick. Tang Ying saw her young lady wiping her tears sadly, and couldn't help but choke, and replied on her behalf.

"Who is this third lady?" Liu Gouwa heard that Tang Tianqin's eldest uncle was angry with a third young lady, so she couldn't help asking.

"The third miss is the uncle's biological daughter Tang Tianxin, but the third miss has a somewhat eccentric temper and rebellion, this time I heard that it was for her mother's identity at home, and she contradicted the uncle." Tang Ying explained.

Because it involved the affairs of the Tang family, Liu Gouwa didn't want to ask too much, but comforted them softly, called the people in the cottage, and prepared some long-distance salutes for them.

It was the brother of the concubine of his country who died of illness, Qiu Shaoan and others did not stay for a long time, so they also said goodbye to Liu Gouwa and others, and went down the mountain with Tang Tianqin and Tang Ying, and returned to Tang Kingdom.
