Soon after, Lei Ting and Cao Zheng came back from the backyard, nodded to Chao Chong and said, "All cleaned up, no one left!" ”

Chao Chong patted Gao Yanei's shoulder with a smile and said, "So Xiao Yanei is the only survivor?" You're in luck. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Gao Yanei smiled and said, "Grandpa just shouts to his grandson Gao Pan." Grandpa Xie's grace of not killing, Grandpa Xie's grace of not killing. ”

Chao Chong stood up and said with a smile: "Don't thank me, if you want to thank you, thank you for your private money and the sun-pressing sword." Chao Yang took him to the house and tied him up. Chao Yang nodded, leaned over and picked up Gao Yanei like a chicken, and walked towards the house. The maid Jin'er also ran over and said, "I'll help the hero get the rope." ”

Seeing Jin'er's girl's eyes flickering, Chao Chong thought to himself, this Gao Ya is afraid that he will suffer a little, and sure enough, soon there was a low whining sound in the room, obviously the mouth was blocked, but the wail of pain, I hope that the girl is not too much, this Gao Ya is still useful.

Zhang Jiaotou invited everyone into the house, and Chao Chong asked Thunder to guard at the gate in case of accidents.

After Cao Zheng entered the house, he knelt down and saluted Zhang Jiaotou and Zhang Zhenniang: "Old man, master, Cao Zheng is late, you have been wronged." ”

Although Zhang Jiaotou was injured, he still hurriedly got up, helped Cao Zheng up and said, "Chong'er has taught a good disciple, how is he now?" This question is exactly what Zhang Zhenniang wants to ask, but she is a woman, and it is said that this kind of occasion should be avoided, but because she is anxious to know Lin Chong's news, she can't care about any etiquette.

Cao Zheng said with a smile: "Master, he is doing well now, Gao Yu arranged for Lu Yuhou and Fu'an to lead people to assassinate the master in Cangzhou, but the master saw through it and killed them." Because the forage field was burned and people were killed, he had no choice but to take refuge in Liangshanbo, and now he is the fourth leader on the mountain. "Lin Chong is living a very bad thing now, Cao Zheng didn't say it, because he was afraid that saying it would make the master's family anxious, but he couldn't help, wouldn't it add to the chaos.

Zhang Zhenniang heard that Lin Chong was fine, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it's good to be safe, as long as people live, they can take their time in the future.

When Zhang Jiaotou heard that Lin Chong was a thief, he was slightly unhappy in his heart, but thinking of the current situation, he also nodded and said: "Although he is a thief, it is also out of helplessness. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was depressed, Cao Zheng hurriedly changed the topic, and led his hand to Chao Chong: "This is Chao Chong, a righteous young man from Shandong, who is full of courage and righteousness, although he is just a god friend with my master, but he has traveled thousands of miles to help me pick everyone up and get together with my master, all the way, it all depends on Chao Chong Shaoxia and his brothers." ”

Zhang Jiaotou also saw that Cao Zheng and his party were mainly Chao Chong, and hurriedly bowed to Chao Chong and said: "If it weren't for the righteous people to come to the rescue, our family would not be able to escape tonight's doom!" Please be worshiped by the old man! ”

Chao Chong stretched out his hands to stop the old man, and said: "It is the nature of our people to walk the rivers and lakes to help each other when we see the unevenness of the road, and I am a junior, how dare I accept the gift of the elders!" ”

Zhang Jiaotou saw that Chao Chong had a thousand catties of strength with both hands, and he couldn't worship it no matter what, knowing that the other party was sincere and respectful to him, how could he rely on the old and sell the old? After all, the grace of saving lives is extraordinary, so he took a step back and bowed down again, this time Chao Chong didn't have time to stop it, so he had to bow back with both hands in his fists, for such an old man who fought to the death for his family, Chao Chong was still full of admiration.

After Zhang Jiaotou finished worshipping, he looked at Zhang Zhenniang, Zhang Zhenniang was smart and immediately understood, and said a thousand blessings: "Zhenniang, thank you for saving my family's life." ”

The other party was a female dependent, Chao Chong was not good at supporting, so he had to hug his fists and salute back: "Sister-in-law, don't be so polite, I have great respect for Brother Lin Chong, and I am also quite honored if I can help." ”

Zhou Tong on the side saw that they were polite, so he said, "Young man, your surname is Chao?" Can you recognize the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai of Dongxi Village? ”

Chao Chong nodded at Zhou Tong and said, "It's my father!" Old hero Zhou also recognizes his father? ”

Zhou Tong smiled and said: "I don't recognize it, but I heard my disciple Luan Tingyu say that he once lost to a hero named Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai in Dongxi Village." In the letter, he also admired him very much, saying that Chao Gai was a great hero, a man who was righteous and wealthy, and who loved to make friends with the world's heroes. My disciple is arrogant and rarely convincing people, and it is very rare to be able to respect a person so much, so I keep it in my heart. ”

Chao Chong smiled and said, "He will be very happy to be remembered by the Martial Saint and tell his father when he goes back." ”

Zhou Dongqi said: "You seem to be familiar with me?" ”

Chao Chong spread his hands to both sides and said: "Forty years of crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, no one in the world knows you." I think everyone around me mentioned the name of Iron Arm Zhou Dong, and none of them dared to say that they were not familiar with it! ”

Speaking of why Zhou Tong's nickname is called Iron Arm, it should be because Zhou Dong's archery skills are very superb, and archery requires strong arm strength.

In ancient times, the bow force of a bow was calculated by fixing a bow on the wall, and then hanging a weight on the bowstring, and when the bow was completely pulled away, the weight of the weight of the weight hanging on the bowstring was the bow force of the bow.

In the Song Dynasty, one stone was equal to ten buckets, and one bucket was equal to about twelve catties now, so one stone was equivalent to 120 catties in modern times, about 60 kilograms. The standard of the forbidden army is five buckets with one stone, that is, 90 kilograms and 180 kilograms. And Yue Fei can open the bow left and right, and pull out the three-stone strong bow, that is, 180 kilograms, 360 catties, which is already a very top level. For athletes in the modern Olympic Games, men only shoot 14-23 kilograms (30-50 pounds) of bows, which is less than four buckets in ancient times. Of course, the material of modern bows and the application of pulley sets make it easier to draw the bow, but the range is not close.

Zhou Tong, as Yue Fei's master, has superb archery skills, and he should be able to pull out the three-stone strong bow, so he has the nickname of Iron Arm.

Chao Chong looked at Zhou Dong's character panel

Name: Zhou Tong (Wu Sheng)

Health: 2140/2140

Commander-in-Chief: 63

Force: 100

Intelligence: 55

Politics: 56

Charisma: 92

Affinity: Appreciation

Characteristics: Good teacher (Tianzi No. 1 teacher, educating countless people)

The basic attribute of the old man Zhou Tong should be because he has become older, and his physical condition has declined, but the force value has reached the peak of the world, and this item has been maintained.

It can be imagined that when he was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, he was such an outstanding person.

Zhou Tong saw Chao Chong in a daze, but he didn't mind, nodded and said, "It's a talking doll." After speaking, the young man behind him introduced Chao Chong and said: "Xu Guanzhong, the disciple I just accepted in the boxing gym a year ago, this year's martial arts people, is the most likely genius to win the martial champion in next year's palace examination. ”

The young man was excited and saluted Chao Chong with his fists on his face: "Xu Guanzhong, I'm very happy to meet Brother Chao!" ”

Chao Chong quickly recalled the Water Margin in his mind, but he didn't remember any famous person named Xu Guanzhong, it shouldn't be a powerful character. But it feels a little weird, how can this name be so similar to Luo Guanzhong, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and suddenly a thought flashed in his heart, could it be him?

So Chao Chong smiled and replied: "I have a friend named Yan Qing, and he also has a close friend named this name, but he is just a member of the Daimyo Mansion." ”

Xu Guanzhong was overjoyed, grabbed Chao Chong's arms and said, "Do you know Yan Qing?" Haha, it's so fateful, the person he mentioned is me. In the next year, because he wanted to gain fame in the exam, he was recommended by his master, Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, to come to the capital to learn art. He should be seventeen by now, right? It's similar to your age. ”

After confirming what he was thinking, Chao Chong was also very excited, and finally met a master of both civil and military affairs. Chao Chong remembered that Xu Guanzhong appeared once as a soy sauce party in the Water Margin and persuaded Yan Qing to find a way out, and this conversation also indirectly saved Yan Qing's life.

The book said that Xu Guanzhong was proficient in the art of war, martial arts, and strategy, knew everything about qinqi calligraphy and painting, was proficient in Khitan, Jurchen, Dangxiang, Tubo, and Mongolian Chinese, and was an all-round talent in literature and martial arts. The most rare thing is to know the geography of the world, have traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, and are known as living maps.

Of course, maybe I knew him a little early, according to the autumn of 1114 now, to the summer of 1122 when Yan Qing met Xu Guanzhong again, eight years have passed. Looking at the young man in front of him who is less than twenty years old and has an angry face, will he really be a rare genius in the world? Or is he under Zhou Dong's **, plus the accumulation of age from traveling in all directions, he has become a potential stock of a master?

Either way, it's always good to have a good relationship. So he nodded and said, "Sympathetic to each other, Yan Qing is a friend worth dating." ”

Xu Guanzhong also said: "Xiao Yi is indeed worth dating, how is he now, is he still lingering in Goulanwashe?" ”

Chao Chong had never seen Yan Qing, but relying on the understanding of the Water Margin, he also knew a rough idea, and sighed: "If it weren't for that, how could I get the title of a prodigal son." ”

Xu Guanzhong also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, if you turn back, you won't be called a prodigal son." ”

Li Kui stared at Xu Guanzhong for a while, and then interjected: "Why do I think you are also very familiar?" ”

Chao Chong glanced at Li Kui, and said in his heart, I am lying to confirm what I think in my heart, so I lied and brought the relationship closer. Xu Guanzhong has been seeing Yan Qing for eight years, and my lies are not so easy to see. But Tie Niu, your lies are too clumsy.

Xu Guanzhong thought for a while, and seemed to have a clear understanding: "Aren't you the one who robbed me of my wine?" ”

Li Kui smiled and said, "I also remembered, aren't you just the little white face who was bullied by me." ”

Xu Guanzhong and Li Kui looked at each other and laughed, Chao Chong also remembered that in the roadside wine shop during the day, Li Kui did snatch a person's wine and scared them away. At that time, because Li Kui's aura was too strong, and the young man who drank was too weak, he ignored it, and now when he recalls it, he really overlaps with Xu Guanzhong. But now that I think about it, if there was a fight at that time, I don't know who would have won and who would have lost.

By the way, Chao Chong also introduced Chao Yang and Thunder who guarded the door in Gao Ya. After everyone got acquainted, Zhang Zhenniang took Jin'er to the back to get some wine and food for everyone to eat, and it was a long time in the middle of the night, and it was estimated that everyone was hungry.

Chao Chong raised his hand to stop him: "Sister-in-law, slow down, it's not too late to go after the words are finished." ”

Zhang Jiaotou looked at Chao Chong suspiciously, not knowing what Chao Chong meant. Zhang Zhenniang and Jin'er also stopped and looked at Chao Chong.

Chao Chong turned his head and hugged his fists at Zhou Tong and Xu Guanzhong, and said solemnly: "Can I trust the two of you?" ”

Zhou Tong felt the change in the other party's attitude, and said seriously: "The matter has come to this, we are already in the same boat." ”

Chao Chong nodded and said, "When we were talking just now, I found that Brother Xu seemed to want to stop talking, but I wondered why I didn't kill that Gao Yanei?" ”

In the conversation just now, Xu Guanzhong also felt that Chao Chong was a cheerful person, so he was not hypocritical, and said: "Indeed. I don't think you're a coveter of money and treasure. ”

Chao Chong sighed: "Leaving him alive is really a helpless move. To tell you the truth, my primary purpose in entering Beijing this time is to escort Lin Jiaotou's family to Shandong safely, and my brother has already prepared a carriage outside the north gate. According to my plan, I will escort them out of the city first, and then the Cao Zheng brothers will escort them away. My sworn brothers and I stayed in the capital to delay the time, and it would take at least two days before we could clean up the high ya. In these two days, even if Gao Yu uses the government to hunt down Lin Jiaotou's family in the future, the clues have been broken, and there are so many roads to Shandong, I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up. But it's a pity, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and I didn't expect that Gao Yanei would take the initiative to send us to death on the first day we entered the city. Tonight's incident, although no one escaped, but such a big movement, such a thick bloody atmosphere, the surrounding neighbors have long been aware of it. Tomorrow at the latest, Gao Yu will get the news. Even if we fled overnight, the target was too obvious, and I was afraid that we would not be able to escape the pursuit of the cavalry of the government or even the forbidden army. So, we're in a precarious situation right now, very precarious. ”

Zhang Zhenniang and Jin'er, who originally escaped from death and were full of joy, turned pale when they heard Chao Chong say this, it turned so critical now!

Zhou Tong, Xu Guanzhong and Zhang Jiaotou only looked heavy, but there was no trace of surprise. Obviously, with their wisdom and life experience, they have thought of this a long time ago, but they have not yet found a way to solve the problem.

Chao Chong continued: "So if you want to solve the current predicament, you can only use dangerous moves." ”

After all, Xu Guanzhong was young and a little uncontrollable: "What's the explanation? ”

Chao Chong looked at the crowd: "Plan to make some changes." First of all, tonight, Cao Zheng took Mr. Zhang, sister-in-law and Jin'er out of the city overnight. Because the city gate is closed at night, you need to climb over the city wall, so there is Lao Zhou's old hero and Brother Xu to help. ”

Zhou Tong nodded and said: "This is simple, the city wall dozens of miles long at the north gate must have lax defense, the old man has been here for many years, and he still knows something." But what about after that? What are you going to do? ”

Chao Chong said with a smile: "After everyone left the city, Cao Zheng took them to find Chao Sheng, where the carriage and dry food should have been prepared, and Cao Zheng led people to Shandong overnight." Let Chao Sheng prepare his horses and wait for us outside the city gate tomorrow morning. Cao Zheng hugged his fists and said: "Okay! ”

Chao Chong said to Zhou Tong again: "The old hero and Brother Xu took the weapons we left outside the city and entered the city again and came here to meet. After that, you can go back to the gym and live with it as if nothing happened tonight. Anyone who knows the news, except for that Gao Yanei, can be trusted, so don't worry, Gao Yanei will die tomorrow! ”

Xu Guanzhong looked at the thunder guarding the door, Chao Yang with a calm face, and Li Kui who didn't care, and said, "What about you?" What are you going to do? ”

Chao Chong said with a smile: "Gao Yanei will die tomorrow, so things will inevitably make a big fuss." In order to remove Gao Yu's spearhead from the Lin Jiaotou family, something more exciting must happen. Therefore, I decided to go deep into the Taiwei Mansion tomorrow and assassinate Gao Yu! ”

"What?" Not only Xu Guanzhong, but even Zhou Tong and Zhang Lao opened their mouths wide, and Jin'er covered her mouth in surprise, this is too crazy. Although everyone thought about revenge on Gao Yanei, they never thought about such a crazy thing as assassinating the imperial lieutenant.

Chao Chong looked at Thunder, Chao Yang, and Li Kui at the gate and said, "Since things are already chaotic, let him be even more chaotic!" Since we have already killed so many people, let's kill him again and there will be a river of blood! If you don't go crazy, you can't become a Buddha! If I fail, I will have my closest brother to accompany me to Huangquan! If we succeed, then we will be the great heroes of the present generation to eliminate thieves for the country! Brothers, would you like to go crazy with me this time! ”

Chao Yang was still calm, looked at the thunder guarding the gate in the distance, and said with a twitch of the corners of his mouth: "I will say it on behalf of my second brother, I don't want to be born on the same day in the same year, but I want to die on the same day and in the same year!" ”

Li Kui had already been enthusiastic, but he couldn't find the right words to express his excitement for a while, so he also followed Chao Yang's words and said: "I am the same, I don't want to be born on the same day in the same year, but I want to die on the same day and in the same year!" ”

Chao Chong looked up to the sky and laughed: "If you have a brother like this, what more can you ask for!" Tomorrow, let's go big! ”
