"Master", the round-faced man in front of him saw Lin Chong say this, his face was full of surprise and shock, and he suddenly turned into a panic, and bowed to Lin Chong: "Apprentice...... Knowing that you are wrong, knowing that you are wrong! ”

In the eyes of the man in front of him, tears came out of his eyes, and he looked worried, but he couldn't stop muttering that he knew that he was wrong, and then he kept buttoning his head at Lin Chong, and his head smashed to the ground.

"Boss, why don't you greet guests without making a sound?"

At this moment, another female voice came from the previous room, Chao Gai and the others looked for the sound, and saw a plainly dressed woman walking towards him, with black hair, beads of sweat on the door of her head, and a bamboo dustpan in her arms, which I didn't know what to contain, covered with a clean cloth.

"Boss, you are ......"

After taking a few steps forward, the lady saw that her husband couldn't stop kowtowing to the person in front of her, and she was stunned, stunned, and looked at each other with a look of surprise and puzzlement.

"This is my master", when the man saw it, he immediately turned his head, looked at his mother-in-law and said, "Why don't you come over quickly and meet the master with me!" ”

"Ah...... Oh"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, although her face was still a look of surprise, but her feet were not slow, and she hurriedly put the bamboo dustpan she was holding in her arms on the table beside her, trotted to her husband, and fell to her knees.

"Master", the round-faced man looked at Lin Chong and said, "This is the Neiko Zhang family!" ”

"Disciple Cao Zheng and his inner son Zhang knock to see the master!" As he spoke, Cao Zheng and the Zhang family next to him bowed to Lin Chong again.

Hearing this, Chao Gai was shocked, this man was actually Cao Zheng, Lin Chong's registered disciple, Cao Zheng, the ghost of the knife?

In an instant, Chao Gai remembered this person. In the original Water Margin world, this person is not very inconspicuous. At the time of the Liangshan Dajuyi Ranking, he was ranked eighty-first and was responsible for slaughtering livestock. Later, when Fang La was requisitioned, he died in Xuanzhou.

"Hey......"

Lin Chong sighed, and immediately introduced to Chao Gai beside him: "Brother, this person's name is Cao Zheng, and he was also a registered disciple I accepted in the past. This is a native of Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, and he was born as a butcher for generations, so he is very good at slaughtering livestock, and he is nicknamed the knife ghost! ”

Then Lin Chongfang looked at Cao Zheng in front of him again and said, "Get up." I can't believe that after all these years, you already have a family! You didn't say goodbye back then, but what is there about me Lin Chong who can't stand you? ”

"Master!"

When Cao Zheng heard Lin Chong say this, he looked even more distressed: "The disciples are not filial!" The master treats the apprentice like a mountain, but the disciple doesn't know what to do, and he has done something wrong, so he will see the master again without a word! I wanted to spend the rest of my life here, but I didn't want to meet Master here today, and my disciple had to tell the truth." As he spoke, Cao Zheng choked up several times, but still told the inside story.

It turned out that this Cao Zheng first worshipped Lin Chong as his master, but Lin Chong only accepted Cao Zheng as a registered disciple for a period of time in view of the first examination. But although he said so, Lin Chong also taught Cao Zheng martial arts hand-in-hand, and he didn't hide any secrets. It's just that Cao Zheng studied for half a year, and accidentally got married to a rich man in Tokyo, and the rich man saw that Cao Zheng was honest, so he wanted Cao Zheng to do things for himself.

After coming and going, Cao Zheng's martial arts learning has also been delayed a lot, but his mind is a little biased. Besides, Cao Zheng received the benefit of others, and he couldn't erase his face, so he could only agree to run a few business trips for the other party. Unexpectedly, Cao Zheng just started, but lost all his capital.

Cao Zheng was afraid that he would return to Lin Chong, and the rich man would go to Lin Chong to find him, and then Lin Chong would be involved, and then he could only leave and wander into the rivers and lakes. Later, he wandered here, temporarily settled in a farmer's house, and later married the farmer's daughter and became a son-in-law, so he took over the wine shop from his father-in-law, and lived a miserable life.

"Hey", when Lin Chong heard this, he often exhaled a breath, looked at Cao Zheng in front of him and sighed: "The reason why I was willing to accept you at the beginning was just to see that you were loyal and honest. But judging by your words and deeds, your talent for martial arts is not superior, and although your heart is loyal, it is not tenacious enough. Therefore, I originally only wanted to accept you as a registered disciple, that is, to sharpen your temperament, if you want to learn a good martial arts, you don't need to suffer a lot, if you don't have the perseverance to practice Sanfu in summer and Sanjiu in winter, how can you succeed? ”

"Yes!"

When Cao Zheng heard this, he immediately looked ashamed: "The apprentice's master is disappointed, and the disciple is not filial!" ”

"You get up", Lin Chong sighed: "Everyone has their own ambitions, you are a waste of martial arts, and you also have the ability to slaughter livestock." A man who does not steal or rob, does not cause trouble to the village, does not oppress the people, and eats with his own hands, what is there to be ashamed of! ”

Chao Gai heard Lin Chong say this, and immediately thought so. The so-called three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion. It's good to love what you do, and to be able to persevere and persevere. But every man is different, and he cannot force it.

"Thank you, Master, for your leniency!"

Hearing that Lin Chong didn't seem to have any intention of blaming, Cao Zheng suddenly looked excited. pulled his mother-in-law to kowtow to Lin Chong again.

"This is the owner of Shuibo Liang Cottage, Chao Tianwang and Meng Hu brothers", Lin Chong reminded Cao Zheng in front of him: "Don't hurry up and see you!" ”

"Chao ...... Chao Tianwang? ”

When Cao Zheng heard this, he was even more shocked, and he and his insiders were stunned. I paid attention to Lin Chong before, but I felt that the man in front of me was very high, and I suddenly felt that he was not like an ordinary person, and I didn't want to be the master of Liangshanbo.

"Cao Zheng didn't know that it was King Chao who arrived, forgive his sins!" , Cao Zheng suddenly cast a grateful look at Lin Chong, and then bowed to Chao Gai again.

No one knows the name of Chao Gai. Moreover, not far from this yellow mud gang, Cao Zheng naturally heard that his ears were about to grind out cocoons. I have always only heard of his name, but I have not seen him, but I don't want to see it now.

"What a knife ghost Cao Zheng, brother, please get up!" Chao Gai smiled and nodded, leaning down to help the two people in front of him.

"I think it's the blessing of the Bodhisattva, today's teacher, Chao Tianwang, and Brother Meng Hu came to give up, and they are really happy to descend from the sky!"

Cao Zheng stood up, and while talking, he hurriedly took a towel and wiped the table and chairs, motioned for Chao Gai, Lin Chong, and Meng Hu to sit down, and then hurriedly went to the house with Zhang to drink and eat.

After a while, Cao Zheng first came with a few plates of cooked beef and a few side dishes, and then brought two jars of good wine, and instructed Zhang to fry a few hot dishes.

"Master, disciple respects you a bowl!" , Cao Zheng held the wine bowl and said to Lin Chong: "It is really a great blessing for Cao Zheng to meet his teacher again today!" ”

Seeing this, Lin Chong didn't speak, nodded and drank the bowl of wine. Now seeing Cao Zheng again, Lin Chong is also very relieved.

"Chao Tianwang, the villain dares to give you a bowl!"

Cao Zheng filled himself with wine again, and then said: "The villain lives in seclusion here, and I don't know how much I have heard of the name of Chao Tianwang, but I only thought that I had no chance to see the golden face of Chao Tianwang in this life, and I didn't want to drag my mentor today, but I was fortunate to visit Chao Tianwang!" ”

Looking at Chao Gai, Cao Zheng suddenly said with some excitement.

"Brother Cao Zheng is polite", Chao Gai said: "Chao Gai wants to congratulate you on the reunion of your master and apprentice!" ”

Cao Zheng saluted Meng Hu again, but Meng Hu didn't dare. Hearing that this Cao Zheng was actually Lin Chong's brother, Cao Zheng suddenly didn't dare to underestimate Lin Chong. Even he, a newcomer who has just joined Liangshan, knows what status Lin Chong has in Liangshan, he is a real pillar of Liangshan, a veteran-level figure. What's more, today's Lin Chong is under Chao Gai, commanding the military affairs of Liangshan. This Cao Zheng is now meeting Lin Chong, and the tide is naturally rising.

"Why did Master and Chao Tianwang come here?" , Cao Zheng looked at the three people in front of him, and then expressed the question in his heart.

"Since you know that I am in Liangshanbo, why don't you come to join me and meet me?" When Lin Chong heard this, he knew that Cao Zheng must have known that he was in Liangshan. What's more, this place is not very far away from Yangsan.

In fact, it was not long ago that the apprentice learned that the master had settled in Liangshanbo. At that time, I went to Liangshan to look for the master twice, but the apprentice was really ashamed of the master, so he lingered at the bottom of the mountain for a long time and never went up the mountain. I just want to delay for a while and then bother with it! Seeing Lin Chong ask like this, Cao Zheng had no choice but to answer truthfully with a ashamed face.

Hearing this, Chao Gai and Lin Chong couldn't help but smile.

"Now that you and Sect Leader Lin have also met, are you willing to go to my Liangshan to join the gang?" , Chao Gai looked at Cao Zheng with a smile and said.

"Thanks to Master's great kindness, the apprentice will definitely serve Master and repay Master's great kindness in the future!" , Cao Zheng glanced at Lin Chong and said.

"I am doing well now, and I want you to serve. Don't you thank Brother Tianwang, do you think Liangshanbo is so good? When Lin Chong heard this, he immediately laughed angrily: "Now I, Lin Chong, am a person from Liangshan, if you have a heart, you will regard Liangshan as your home, and now, I will be at ease!" ”

"Disciple obeys!"

Hearing Lin Chong say this, Cao Zheng immediately bowed down to Chao Gai again: "Cao Zheng has seen Chao Tianwang, thank you for the kindness of Brother Tianwang!" ”

"Okay", Chao Gai nodded with a smile: "I don't want to just go down the mountain today, and recruit a good man for me Liangshanbo!" ”

At the same time, Chao Gai looked at Cao Zheng in front of him, and thought to himself: Since this Cao Zheng is known as a knife ghost and is proficient in slaughtering livestock, it must be a good idea for Ding Ding to solve the cow. Since this is the case, then after the Cao Zheng brothers go up the mountain, they will assist Wu Yongxian's brother in charge of logistics.

The three of them rested here for half a day, and then they did not delay any longer. Then, Chao Gai instructed Cao Zheng to take out the banknotes, and Chao Gai personally wrote a letter and handed it to Cao Zheng, asking him to clean up and stop his belongings, and then go to the hotel at the foot of Liangshan to find Zhu Gui, and let Wu Yong arrange according to the letter.

Then, the three of them set off again and embarked on the road to Cangzhou.
