The general did not die in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned from injuries and illness for ten years. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Wind Splitting Knife Shi Bao and the male and female sword Deng Bi have followed the old general for many years, and the scars on their bodies are as many as the great military exploits they have achieved.

The two were fortunate to be able to retire alive in the Western Army, a place where there were frequent battles.

The two are also unlucky, they are in the prime of life, and their skills have been fought hard with blood, and they have no place to use them ever since.

It's like a wild male wolf who has been put in an iron cage and is not allowed to be free.

Young Master Sun is still in prison, and the old general is planning a rescue plan, so he can't say that in the end, he will send Li Kui and them into battle to fight.

And what about yourself?

The old general arranged for them to lead fifty guards to escort Mrs. Wang, Miss Qi and a group of children back to Liangshan for resettlement.

Mrs. Wang is important, Miss Qi is beautiful, and the children are cute, but ......

Shi Bao rode on a tall horse and touched the sharp treasure knife at his waist. Looking at the row of carriages moving forward on the official road, I couldn't help but sigh, with a strong unwillingness in my heart. I still want to rush to the front, happy to revenge.

However, the old general's words are military orders, and if they are military orders, they must be implemented to the letter.

At this time, the sky and the earth were vast, and the crystal white snow covered the ground, and their group also entered the boundary of Jeju Prefecture, and they had been on the road for more than ten days, and the Liangshan Shuibo was also faintly in sight.

"Brother Shi, is there any news from Ying Tianfu about my son?" A carved painted carriage lifted the curtains, revealing a pale, worried face.

When Shi Bao heard this, he clasped his hands into fists on the horse and said respectfully: "Madam, not for the time being." ”

Shi Bao couldn't remember how many times Mrs. Wang had asked along the way, but he could only regretfully give a negative answer.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's disappointed and worried look, Shi Bao comforted: "Don't worry, madam, the old general once said that if there is any change in Young Master Sun, he will definitely let the fast horse come and report to us." There is no news now, but it means that nothing has changed. Madame must believe in the old general's ability, and he will definitely try his best to ensure that Young Master Sun is safe. ”

Hearing the comfort, although Wang was still very worried, his mood was a little more soothed, he bowed slightly, and said, "If there is any news about my son, please Brother Shi must tell me as soon as possible!" ”

"Definitely!"

Stomp and tread.

Riding through the snow.

Deng Bi, who was in charge of exploring the way ahead, drove his horse over, nodded at Shi Bao, and said to the Wang family in the carriage: "Madam, we have arrived at the boundary of Jeju Prefecture, and we will reach the shore of Liangshan Shuibo in a few dozen miles. Do you know the road to Yangsanbo? ”

"My husband has never told me this, but I don't know." A gentle voice came from inside the carriage.

Deng Bi and Shi Bao glanced at each other, they could only take one step at a time, Mrs. Dongxi Village, their hometown, must not be able to go back, if they are reported by the greedy neighbors, they may be chased by the government, even if they are not afraid of the martial arts of the two, but in case of damage, the gains outweigh the losses.

Now it's all about safety.

The convoy continued to walk for half a day, and finally arrived at a village south of Liangshan Shuibo, so they decided to stop here and ask for directions by the way.

In the village, a lean Bao Zheng, who was over 60 years old, saw a convoy enter the village, and dozens of horseback men at the head were all strong. There are also ten horse-drawn carriages, mighty. I was worried in my heart, and I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

He is not a rich man like Chao Gai back then, his Baozheng is just a little richer than ordinary people. Seeing so many people entering the village, I had to come forward, bowed my head and smiled: "Everyone has worked hard all the way, I don't know where you came from, where are you going?" ”

The other party is not easy to provoke at first glance, and Bao Zheng does not dare to mention the official road guide.

Shi Bao, who was in charge of the convoy guard, took out a road guide from his arms, which was stamped with a bright red official seal, and handed it over and said: "We are waiting for the guards to go to Qingzhou Mansion to visit relatives, this is the road guide of Ying Tianfu, please check the old man." ”

Lao Baozheng took the road guide with both hands, and took a cursory look, especially when he saw the bright red official seal, his heart was half relaxed, it seems that they are all serious people, so he is not afraid of the village suffering. Hurriedly greeted warmly: "Please come into the village, there is a vacant land in the village community in the center, which can be used for everyone to rest, and meals are provided at low prices, but there is no vacancy in the house and residence, please take care of it." ”

"It's okay, we're just resting and we're going to keep going." Shi Bao has a calm personality and is also handy in dealing with people. Deng Bi has a cold personality, is only obsessed with martial arts, and is not good at communicating with people, so this kind of communication is generally handled by Shi Bao.

The horses pulling the cart were also sleepy for half a day, and the carriage was unloaded and provided grain feeding with the war horses to relax their bodies.

The children in the car also got out of the car and rested at the edge of the village.

After spending money to buy some food, Shi Bao, who had a calm personality, took the opportunity to chat with Lao Baozheng and said: "Shi came from Yingtianfu, and I heard that there is a group of robbers in the Liangshanbo area, and they are passing by with so many family members, I wonder if they will encounter danger?" Can the old man give me some advice? ”

When Lao Baozheng heard the word "Liangshan", his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "It seems that everyone is really from other places." ”

Deng Bi usually speaks coldly, but he can't help but be curious: "How can you see it?" ”

Lao Baozheng said with a smile: "If you are a native of Jeju Prefecture, how can you not know the great name of the heroes of Yangsan for Tianxingdao?" And the chivalrous righteousness of King Chao to rob the rich and help the poor? As long as you haven't done anything hurtful, around this Liangshan, please rest assured to go boldly, Liangshan can protect the safety of the party. ”

"Well, that's the case? This is very different from what Shi heard in the outside world, thank you for the old man's guidance. Shi Bao smiled, "I wonder if the old man can tell me the story of this Chao Heavenly King, so that I can also have a long experience?" ”

"That's a good feeling, I'll tell you, I'm the person who knows best in this village, let's not talk about this Chao Tianwang's previous reputation in the rivers and lakes, I'll start with Chao Tianwang's refusal to levy taxes for the people......"

The propaganda that has been carried out in six months, which has been carried out at a great cost, has finally paid off. Now the people of the six counties around Liangshan have heard of the book "Chao Tianwang refuses to levy taxes for the people", and the storytellers tell the majesty and righteousness of Chao Gai in it, ask for the people's lives, and describe the greed and shamelessness and evil described by Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of the county. The traitor described by Taishi Cai Jing was made and confused by the dynasty. After everyone listened, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up and a thumbs up for King Chao stealing the Birth Gang.

The ancients were relatively closed to information, so people were relatively simple, and even Shi Bao and Deng Bi didn't expect that this was actually an exaggerated propaganda that Liang Shan spent money to make by the Propaganda Department.

After Lao Baozheng finished speaking, in addition to Shi Bao and Deng Bi, who were visitors to Jeju Mansion, there was also a large group of bored young people in the village.

Mrs. Wang and the maid Hongluan did not get out of the car, but they still heard the old Baozheng's narration in the car, and after listening to this story, the original resentment towards Chao Gai and the thought of complaining that he had brought disaster to his son disappeared.

Lao Bao Zheng saw so many people around him, and his vanity was bursting. coughed a few times, and then told the two scripts of "Liangshan Bo Shi En Zhujiazhuang" and "Armed Tax Resistance to Break Jeju", which attracted bursts of applause from the boring young people around him.

Shi Bao and Deng Bi also talked to Ma Enwei, a native of Liangshan in the book, and subdued Zhujiazhuang, and used clever tricks to break through Jeju Mansion full of interest, this kind of war example, even in the Western Army, which has frequent wars, is also rare.

Mrs. Wang and the maid Hongluan listened in the carriage, and nodded slightly, the husband and son did not kill innocents indiscriminately and rob the people because they became thieves, but showed kindness and won the praise of the people, and they were very relieved in their hearts.

Miss Qi was taking care of a group of children to eat, and when she heard the story from afar, her disgust with Chao Chong and them slowly disappeared. is worthy of Chao Gongzi, he is really a good person.

"Ahh Chao Chong, who was miles away, sneezed and muttered softly, "Who is scolding me?" ”

After listening to Lao Baozheng's narration, Shi Bao pretended to be excited and asked: "Such a hero, I really want to go to the meeting for a while, but I don't know how to go up the mountain, it's a pity......"

After speaking, he pretended to be sorry and shook his head.

Seeing this, Lao Baozheng shouted to the young people around him: "You idlers, don't you busy packing up the New Year's goods, what are you doing here?" Hurry up, hurry away. ”

After driving the boring idler away, Lao Baozheng mysteriously leaned over and whispered close to his ear: "Grapevine, ten miles east along the lake, there is a welcome hotel by the lake, which is Liangshan's eyeliner." ”

Shi Bao was overjoyed in his heart, took out a few taels of broken silver from his arms, stuffed them into Lao Baozheng's hand, and said, "Thank you for the old man's advice." ”

Lao Baozheng hurriedly excused himself, muttering "How embarrassing is this", but his big hand held the broken silver tightly.

After the break, the convoy moved on. According to Lao Baozheng, after traveling ten miles east, he saw a hotel on the shore that covers a large area.

In Wang Lun's era, the Liangshan Hotel presided over by Zhu Gui belonged to a secret whistle, secretly inquiring about news and listening to the intelligence of past merchants.

But people in the rivers and lakes who have a little ability have heard that the hotel owner, Zhu Gui, is a native of Liangshan.

The government with a little brain can also see that the hotel opened on the edge of Liangshan Shuibo has not been robbed by robbers, except for accomplices, who else can it be?

So at that time, the hotel was known to have a problem at a glance. Only Wang Lun was stupid and thought that everyone else was a fool, and he didn't know that the hotel was his property. Just ask, such a hotel still asks for a news? What's the secret?

Therefore, after Chao Chong took power, especially after the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department of Shiqian, the Liangshan Hotel became a signboard on the bright side.

In Chao Chong's planning, the area around Liangshan Shuibo will be built into a safe zone, and each of the six surrounding counties will set up a hotel called a hotel, which is actually a signboard for a liaison station. Responsible for recruiting aspiring young people in six counties, and liaising with landlords to publicize the armed anti-tax order.

The government knew that it was Liangshan's industry, but it was afraid of Liangshan's military strength and did not dare to act at will. This is Yangmou.

The real intelligence work is hidden even deeper. Like what

That old Baozheng.

Before Shi Bao and his party arrived at the Liangshan Hotel, Lao Baozheng's flying pigeon had already passed the information to Shi Qian.

"Dozens of suspicious warriors brought their female dependents into the country", a simple eleven words, but Shi Qian was vigilant.

First, intelligence officers considered them suspicious.

Secondly, it is not an ordinary person, it is a martial artist with force.

Again, the number reached dozens, which is already a significant force.

In the end, they had the intention of entering the country. That's the most worrying thing.

In Shi Qian's mind, a group of assassins disguised as merchants, intending to sneak into the mountains to assassinate the leader when everyone was slacking off at the end of the year. And those ladies are probably just covering up!

The lord Chao Chong went down the mountain and has not returned, Shi Qian has been holding a string in his heart, he must not live up to the trust of the lord, and any hidden dangers must be strangled in the cradle.

After making up his mind, Shi Qian immediately recruited more than 20 people from the Secret Service Bureau to go down the mountain, lurking in the Liangshan Hotel in advance, waiting for an opportunity to take down these people with bad intentions.

Today's Liangshan Hotel occupies a large area, similar to an enlarged version of the courtyard house, with row houses on three sides and a restaurant on one side, sitting in the north and facing south. The restaurant has three floors, more than 30 guest rooms, and in the middle of the four sides is the stable and the warehouse.

This is a collection of catering, accommodation, goods storage as one of the Song Dynasty hotel, antique, a few small two at the gate are sticking couplets on the ladder, only to see the upper link: open the altar of a thousand gentlemen drunk on the table ten miles of incense. Downlink: There are many customers in the small building and the wine fragrance. Sideways: Guests are competing.

Shi Bao and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they got closer, in his impression, the Liangshan Hotel should be hiding in a hidden corner that no one could find, a half-collapsed thatched house, with a sinister face of Xiao Er, looking around from time to time, for fear that someone would find out.

Isn't it a secret stronghold? Why is it so arrogant?

It's like being in a restaurant, ordering a bowl of wonton stew for five yuan, but serving a bowl of bird's nest white fungus soup. Instinctively suspicious, isn't that a mistake?

"Ahem, everyone, this is the Liangshan Hotel?" Shi Bao coughed dryly a few times, and stepped forward to ask.

A chubby shopkeeper saw that a guest was coming, and while urging those little two to finish pasting the pair quickly, he greeted Shi Bao and them, bowed, and welcomed: "There are guests coming, please come into the house and warm up!" ”

It was snowy outside, and it was cold even if everyone was in the car. Although Mrs. Wang was worried about her son's safety, she also knew that she was in a hurry. So with the help of Hongluan, she got off the carriage, and Miss Qi also came down with a group of children. Mrs. Wang was also very fond of the children, and beckoned Miss Qi to come into the house and sit down with them.

Shi Bao went to arrange for someone to unload the carriage and take care of the horses. Deng Bi held the male and female knives on both sides of his waist with both hands, and stood guard not far from Mrs. Wang.

The chubby shopkeeper looked rich, and came in with a few juniors holding a wine jar and a wine bowl, and when he came to Deng Bi's approach, he said with a smile: "There is just hot wine in the store, do you want a bowl from the guest officer?" ”

Deng Bi glanced at him coldly, shook his head, and the hands held around his waist tightened. Years of experience as a guard made him develop the habit of not speaking, eating or drinking during the mission, and his spirit was still highly focused on the situation around Mrs. Wang.

Seeing that Deng Bi didn't appreciate it, the rich boss grinned and didn't care, and continued to greet the other palace guards.

The other palace guards don't have the self-discipline of Deng Bi, it's freezing cold, and drinking a bowl of hot wine is simply enjoyable.

Soon, Shi Bao settled the horses, also entered the house, took the hot wine handed over by a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, took a sip, and asked: "I heard that there is some connection between this place and Liangshan Shuibo, and several brothers want to go up the mountain, and there is something important to report to the big leader, I don't know if I can lead the way." ”

The sharp-mouthed Xiao Er's eyes flashed, he took a step back, smashed the wine jar in his hand on the ground, and said with a smile: "Of course you can, but it's tied up, do it, and protect the master!" ”

With a hula, more than 20 strong men rushed out from the second floor and back kitchen of the hotel, with steel knives in their hands, pointing directly at those palace guards.

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked Xiao Er was pretending to be Shi Qian, and someone in his secret service was a member of the Chao family's escort back then, and recognized that the noble lady was the wife of the Heavenly King and the mother of Chao Chong. According to the actions of the double-knife man, Shi Qian guessed that the master mother should have been held hostage by these assassins, so he immediately decided that even if he let the assassins go, he had to save the master mother first.

The palace guards hurriedly went to copy the knife, but found that they were weak and their heads were spinning. Puff one after another, puff fell to the ground, Shi Bao also felt a little dizzy, not good, it's sweat medicine!

The sudden change made the children in the hotel lobby panic, Shi Qian and a few people surrounded Mrs. Wang, and before they could speak, they saw a person flying in the air, spreading his two knives, and shouting: "Random knife. Twin wings". The twin knives flew up, like an eagle spreading its wings, forcing everyone away and shining towards the times.

Shi Qian was not afraid, and the knife was stretched out, fighting with it.

Shi Bao also beat his spirit, and summoned the guards who had not been drugged to fight with the elite of the Secret Service.

After a few fights, Mrs. Wang also recognized the Chao family member who was guarding her, and hurriedly asked people to stop.

"Stop fighting, it's all your own people!" Hongluan also shouted at the top of his voice.

Only then did everyone vigilantly separate, Shi Qian and Deng Bi looked at each other, both staying by Mrs. Wang's side, and they refused to take half a step back.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly explained, "Escorting me is my father's cronies' guards. Which one is the leader of Liangshan? ”

Shi Qian was a hero recruited by Chao Chong after he went to Cangzhou, and when he returned to Dongxi Village, Mrs. Wang had already been sent to Yingtianfu, so she didn't know him. Shi Qian put away the short knife and arched his hand: "Under the command of King Chao Tian, Shi Qian, who is in charge of the Intelligence Department, has seen the master's mother!" ”

Mrs. Wang didn't mean to introduce everyone for Shi Qian, but hurriedly said: "Hurry up and send a message to my husband, my son is in trouble in Yingtianfu, let him send someone to rescue!" ”

"What?" Shi Qian opened his eyes angrily, the lord was in trouble, how could he be calm, and hurriedly ordered the personnel to go to the mountain to send a message to the king of heaven, and he couldn't wait to ride to Ying Tianfu immediately to rescue, but reason told him that he couldn't be impulsive, so he had to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and first send the master mother safely into the cottage before making the next step.

Everyone was silent all the way, and they crossed the ice for ten miles with trepidation, and finally arrived at the cottage. At this time, the drums in the cottage sounded like thunder.

"Is this a drum gathering?"

Shi Bao and Deng Bi were born in the military, so they are naturally familiar with the rhythm of this drumbeat.

From the moment they landed on the golden beach, the surprise in their hearts never stopped, in their minds, a group of bandits occupying the water should be a mess of their dwellings; The ragged bandit hooked his shoulders and held the wine bottle, drunk and dreamed of death; A group of one-eyed dragons, who call themselves heroes, bare half of their chests and make loud noises.

But the scene in front of me was a well-organized camp and a well-defended camp; The guards standing guard stood tall like a pine; In the spacious justice hall, a group of majestic men with helmets and crowns looked solemn; Chao Gai, who was sitting on the throne, had an anxious face.

Madame should have been happy to return, but the news she brought made Chao Gai anxious, and hurriedly beat the drum to gather and discuss countermeasures.

Mrs. Wang entered the Juyi Hall, and when she saw Chao Gai, her grievances turned into tears like rivers, and she didn't care about etiquette, she grabbed Chao Gai's hand and urged: "Chong'er is in the prison of Yingtianfu, husband, go and save him!" ”

"Madame, don't worry, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry......" Chao Gai's eyes were also red, but he could only comfort Madame first.

"How can I not be in a hurry? Mother and son are heart-to-heart, watching Chong'er being taken away by Gao Yu in order to protect my Wang family, but as a mother, she can't do anything, and her heart hurts, do you know? ”

"I know, I know, I empathize with my husband. Madame rest assured, even if the husband is bloodied in Yingtianfu, he will send troops to rescue Chong'er back, you go to rest first, and I will deal with it here......" Chao Gai comforted softly.

"No way!" Mrs. Wang decisively refused: "I want to see you send troops today to rest assured." ”

The female beast guarding the calf was the most unreasonable, and Chao Gai didn't dare to shake its edge, so he glanced at Chao Sheng.

Chao Sheng hurriedly came out of the queue and saluted Mrs. Wang: "Godmother, you can rest assured, our brother will risk his life to ensure that the eldest brother is okay!" ”

Chao Yang also said: "When I bowed to my eldest brother, I once said that I didn't want to be born on the same day in the same year, but I wanted to die on the same day in the same year!" Big brother's business is my business! ”

Thunder said loudly: "Whoever dares to hurt the eldest brother, I will let him kill the whole family!" ”

Seeing that they had expressed their attitudes, Mrs. Wang felt a little relieved and said, "You are all good children, Chong'er really didn't see the wrong person." ”

Chao Gai took the opportunity to ask Shi Bao and Deng Bi: "Brother Shi, Brother Deng, what was the situation at that time, please tell me in detail!" ”

Shi Bao organized his words for a moment and said, "The matter should start with Jinmen Yuke Lin Lingsu......

With Shi Bao's narration, the generals despised Lin Lingsu's traitor to seek glory, and Lu Zhishen hated the person who betrayed his friend even more: "If he is touched by the Sprinkle family, he will smash his head with a Zen staff." ”

When it came to Gao Yu's birthday banquet and robbing people, Chao Chong transferred Li Kui and others away and faced them alone. The generals nodded one after another, righteousness first, has always been Chao Chong's characteristic.

When it was said that Chao Chong was pierced through the pipa bone and pressed into the Yingtianfu prison to be punished, all the generals cracked their eyes and the sound of drawing knives rang out, although they knew that this injury was nothing to Chao Chong, but the lord humiliated the ministers to death, the generals were so insulted, and as subordinates, they were powerless, they were deeply ashamed!

"Rescue the General!"

"Send troops to Tianfu!"

"Kill the traitor!"

……

The generals shouted to kill, and Chao Gai was quite relieved to see that the army's heart was available.

Seeing that everyone was fanatical, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng, who were still calm, glanced at each other, but they both shook their heads, dispelling their intention to persuade everyone to be careful.

Chao Chong's prestige in Liangshan is too high, and dissuading everyone to calm down at this time is simply being a public enemy!

Shi Bao and Deng Bi had a faint regret in their hearts at this time, and they were a little apprehensive when they saw the fanaticism of the generals. If Liang Shan was just an ordinary bandit, they wouldn't be worried, but the Liang Shan generals were obviously not ordinary people.

Ruda, who is like an angry King Kong, is a famous general even in the Western Army.

Wu Song, who was as majestic as a tiger, stood in court and there was a coercion.

Lin Chong, who has a leopard head and eyes, has a gentle appearance, but he can't ignore his prestige as the head of the 800,000 forbidden army.

Yang Zhi, who has a short beard and a green face, is a descendant of the Yang family of Tianbo Mansion who is registered in the household register

……

At least half of the strength of the more than twenty generals in the hall is not under Shi Bao and Deng Bi, which makes the two of them feel depressed, is this Liang Shan's strength?

If Liang Shan, who has such strength, really sends troops to Ying Tianfu, Gao Yu and Lin Lingsu don't think about it, how should the old general Wang Shao and Ying Tianfu Wang Bo deal with themselves? Can Ying Tianfu really keep it?

Is this a blessing or a curse?

Just as their faces changed and they hesitated, Chao Gai waved his big hand to suppress the noise of the generals, and was about to announce his decision to prepare food and grass and send troops on the same day, when a guard suddenly broke in and wanted to report something.

The generals glared at him angrily, what else did you come to tell at such an important moment? If there is no big thing, just wait for everyone's wrath!

After all, Chao Gai is in the cottage, and the city government still has it, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, pointed at the guard and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" ”

The guard also sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere in the Gathering Hall, and in the face of everyone's gaze, cold sweat came down from his forehead. I was nervous in my heart, and my mouth was not good, and I muttered for a long time, unable to speak.

The red-haired ghost Liu Tang was anxious, and pulled him up and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, let it go if you have a fart!" ”

"Uh, General...... It's back!"

"What?"

"Which general are you talking about?"

A young man with a knife on his back stepped in from outside the hall and said with a smile: "He said, it's me back!" ”

Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, Yu Baosi, and Liu Huiniang followed.

"Chong'er!"

"Big brother!"

"General!"

……

Under the surprise, everyone flocked to him.

Chao Chongshou explained to his mother: "After the child escaped, he rode a horse to chase after his mother, because he was afraid that his mother would worry. But I didn't want to arrive half a step late. Please forgive Mother! ”

Chao Gai said dissatisfiedly: "I'm just afraid that your mother will worry, aren't you afraid that I will be scared out of illness?" ”

Chao Chong smiled: "You have thick skin and thick meat, what am I afraid of?" ”

"Stinky boy!"

Then Chao Chong and the generals greeted each other and told him about his escape experience.

When the generals heard that he was leading the prisoners out of the prison, they applauded. Hearing that those prisoners fought to the death under the encouragement of Chao Chong, and finally hijacked Gao Yu to escape, which was thrilling, so that the generals hated to come to the scene and participate in it.

Shi Bao and Deng Bi looked at Chao Chong's shoulders in surprise, they obviously saw that the iron hook lock penetrated the pipa bone, why was there no injury at all now?

Chao Chong arched his hand and said: "Thank you two uncles for your concern, and at the same time, welcome to my cottage!" ”
