There are three divisions under the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Operations Department, the Propaganda Department, and the Intelligence Department. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Operations Division is responsible for the formulation of the war plan, and Chao Chong is also the director of the Division, with subordinate members, none.

The Publicity Department is responsible for promoting the image of Yangsan. Chao Chong made He Changyan the director of the department, and he had more than 30 soldiers who were shrewd, able to speak, and had a good memory.

Chao Chong's task to He Changyan was very simple, that is, to write a short story, called "Chao Tianwang Refuses to Levy Taxes for the People", the story is about Chao Gai's family in Dongxi Village, his family has hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and there are thousands of tenants, but he has never levied a percent rent tax on the tenants. In the face of the government's rent of up to 30% and all kinds of forced labor and poll taxes, Chao Gai never showdown with tenants, but only made up for it with money from his own furniture, for which the Chao family ran several caravans, but they still kept losing money every year. Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, was a big corrupt official, and when he saw that Chao Gai was rich, he kept blackmailing and asked Chao Gai to raise taxes on tenants. For the sake of the people, Chao Gai beat up the corrupt officials in a fit of rage, robbed Cai Jing's 100,000 birthdays and went to Liangshan. He also gave all his land to the tenants free of charge, and distributed all the money and property to the people in the six counties around Liangshan.

The story is, of course, riddled with holes. First of all, the exploitation of the tenants by the Chao Gai family was not light, and the tax was 50% instead of 10%.

Second, Shi Wenbin, the county magistrate, is still a good official, and he is not too greedy.

Third, Chao Gai did not give all the money for the robbery of the Birth Gang to the people, but only a small part.

However, the brilliance of lies lies in the fact that there is truth in the false, and there is falsehood in the truth. The story isn't all nonsense either. First of all, Chao Gai did not show tenants a showdown with conscription money and poll tax, which has always been grateful to the people of Dongxi Village.

Second, Chao Gai did give away the land to the tenants free of charge. It did send money to the people of the six counties around Liangshan.

Third, although Shi Wenbin has a good reputation, the more such a person is, the more everyone hates him when they hear about his corruption.

Gossip, nothing more than that.

When He Changyan saw the outline of the story written by Chao Chong, he pursed his lips, and he didn't dare to say more, and began to process and polish:

If you describe Chao Gai as more benevolent and righteous, you will be more benevolent and righteous;

If Shi Wenbin is described as greedy, he will be greedy;

The description of Chao Gai's confrontation against the officers and soldiers is as wonderful as possible.

This kind of storybook is very much in line with the curiosity of the general public.

After the script "Chao Tianwang refuses to levy taxes for the people" was compiled, He Changyan began to teach the thirty soldiers under the Propaganda Department by hand, and it took three days to finally teach them all.

Chao Chong held a meeting with them and promised that after the task was completed, each person would be rewarded with ten yuan and 2 points of military merit. He Changyan directly rewarded the copper coins with two runs and 4 points of military merit. He was also given a two-star military badge.

Since those 30 soldiers entered the Propaganda Department, although they did not have to go to the battlefield, they also had no chance to make military merits, and they could only watch others reap the benefits of meritorious service, and their hearts were envious.

Now that Chao Chong has promised, he is all full of energy. Chao Chong began to divide the thirty people into six groups, scattered to the surrounding six counties, and walked through the villages and alleys to tell the people the story of "Chao Tianwang refuses taxes for the people". But try not to approach the county seat.

The people of the Propaganda Department took the order and left.

The Intelligence Department has been in charge of the Department of Intelligence, with more than 100 intelligence officers under it, including 50 in Jeju and more than 50 in other state capitals.

Seeing Chao Chong coming to the Intelligence Division, Shi Qian complained: "My lord, our Intelligence Division is not on the battlefield, there is no head, and we cannot make meritorious contributions. My brothers are complaining! ”

Chao Chong patted Shi Qian's shoulder and said, "Intelligence work is very important, just like Liang Shan's glasses and ears, how can I treat my brothers badly." The reason why the reward for you has been postponed is because the method of calculating military merit in the Propaganda Department and the Intelligence Department is different from that of the military. The army records merit according to human life, and you record merit according to action, and I will set up corresponding military merit rewards for you every time you act, and you will have military merit to take after you complete it. ”

Shi Qianxi said: "How to calculate this? ”

Chao Chong said: "Not long ago, I assigned the Propaganda Department a task to spread rumors, and after completion, each person will be rewarded with 2 points of military merit. The director's reward is doubled. In the same way, I will give you a task to send intelligence officers to secretly protect my colleagues in the Propaganda Division. After the task is completed, each person will be rewarded with 2 points of military merit, and the director will be rewarded with double rewards. ”

Shi Qian said: "Guarantee foolproof!" ”

Many historians have verified that the peasants lived a very good life in the late Northern Song Dynasty because the tax was very low, only one of ten taxes, or even one of thirty taxes. Think about it, under such a low agricultural tax, can the peasants have a hard time?

So the question is, since the agricultural tax is so low, why were there so many people rebelling in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty?

In fact, the reason for the problem is that the life of the peasants is not easy.

The land of the Song Dynasty was divided into two categories, one was official land and the other was private land.

Guantian includes the government's tuntian and guanzhuang land.

Civilian land includes private land owned by bureaucrats, landlords, and merchants, as well as a very small part of land owned by yeoman and semi-yeoman farmers.

From the founding of the Song Dynasty, land was allowed to be bought and sold freely, so the Song Dynasty was a dynasty with particularly serious land annexation. A very characteristic manor system was formed, and often the land of a village was owned by a certain family, and the people in the whole village were tenants of his family.

The official land is used to collect rent, and the private land is used to collect taxes.

The so-called ten taxes and one thirty taxes refer to the rent collected by the official fields.

The taxes levied on Mintian are generally mortgaged with money, and are called "wamai" and "wa". The main tax is generally three out of ten, and the secondary tax includes the poll tax, labor tax, cowhide tax, salt tax, koji tax, etc., all kinds of clever names. Because of the dense fishery and reed bushes, Yangsanbo also has to increase the fishing tax and reed tax.

Because of the large grain production in the south, it is necessary to increase the income tax, that is, when the tax is levied on the private land under its jurisdiction, each field will be inflated by six acres of ten mu, and the ten mu of mulberry land will be inflated by eight mu.

If the government collects 30 percent of the tax from the landlord, the landlord must collect about 50 percent of the tax from the tenants in order to make a profit, so that he can still retain 20 percent.

As for the poll tax, labor tax, cowhide tax, salt tax, koji tax, and other miscellaneous taxes, they are generally borne by the tenants themselves. In this way, the tax borne by the tenants has basically reached about 70%. It can be seen how heavy the burden is.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, a large number of peasants went bankrupt and unemployed under the pressure of heavy taxes. Their main way out was to enlist in the army or serve, enter the cities to engage in handicrafts or commerce, become monks, and a few or become thieves.

The ten taxes and the thirty taxes of the official land have never been enjoyed by the people. How can farmers talk about happiness?

Therefore, when the words "Chao Tianwang refuses to levy taxes for the people" began to circulate in the surrounding six counties, it quickly caused a sensation, and they were very envious of such a good owner as Chao Gai in Dongxi Village, asking for life for the people, and daring to act.

Ordinary tenants need to pay 60% or 70% of their income to block taxes, and yeoman farmers also have to pay about 50% to block taxes, and their lives are very unsatisfactory. If you can really be like Chao Tianwang Zhuangshang, only pay one percent of the tax, how good it would be!

The government has never paid attention to the countryside, even if someone goes to the county government to tell someone to spread this story, the government does not dare to go to the countryside because of the momentum of Liangshan.

Seven days later, the propaganda work was completed and the Communications Division and the Intelligence Division returned. Chao Chong generously fulfilled his promise, registered military merits for them, and awarded them a military medal as a one-star soldier.

In the first stage, the "knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger" has been successfully completed. Chao Chong is preparing to carry out the second phase: "Fighting the grass and scaring the snake".

Chao Chong ordered two cavalry capitals, four infantry capitals, a total of six soldiers and horses, according to the distribution of money from the last time they went down the mountain, and went down the mountain again, with only one purpose, that is, to publicize Liangshan's idea of armed resistance to taxes----- anyone who paid a tax to Liangshan, Liangshan would protect him from being harassed by the government. This is known as the "Armed Tax Resistance Order".

Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Lei Ting, Wu Song, Lu Da, and Liu Tang led their own teams, according to Chao Chong's arrangement, holding high the banner of "Walking for the Sky", lined up in a neat line, and preached in every village, regardless of whether anyone there agreed, and immediately turned to the next village.

Chao Chong once again emphasized military discipline, and when the generals descended the mountain for ten days, and when they returned ten days later, there was not a single violation, which made Chao Chong very happy.

But again, no village, including Dongxi Village, which has the best mass base, is willing to respond to Liangshan's "armed anti-tax order".

This made Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Lei Ting, Wu Song, Luda, and Liu Tang quite ashamed, thinking that they had not completed the tasks assigned by Chao Chong.

Chao Chong laughed and said, "Some are expected, don't be impatient." After comforting everyone, he found Shi Qian and gave another task, that is, to concentrate on the opinions of the people in the six counties on this matter, and find a thorn in each of the six counties.

The purpose of scaring the snake is not to beat the grass, but to scare the dangerous snake!

Within three days, Shi Qian put detailed information on Chao Chong's table.

Because Liangshan has always had a good reputation, and because of the recent circulation of the book "Chao Tianwang Refuses to Levy Taxes for the People", ordinary people did not suspect that Liangshan was cheating, including some county government officials who urgently reported this information to the state government because Liangshan might really arm to resist taxes during the autumn tax.

Ordinary tenants naturally hope that as the book says, only one percent of the tax will be levied, and all other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be exempted, but unfortunately they have no right to speak, and their words are useless.

The yeoman farmers who have a little land are also very interested in the policy of one percent tax, but they are too weak and afraid of the government's retaliation, so they dare not come forward.

The landlords and employees who had a large amount of land also wanted to reduce their taxes, but their families were so big that they dared to offend the government and did not know whether Liangshan would be able to protect them, so they did not dare to bet.

Of course, there are also some powerful manor owners, who are inextricably linked to the government, and even the children of the family are on errands in the government, so they scoff at Liangshan's approach.

Among them, the biggest opposition to Liangshan's "armed tax resistance order" is Dulonggang Sanzhuang!

There is a towering hill in front of Dulong Mountain, called Dulong Gang, there are three hills on it, there are three villages, and there are tens of thousands of residents. In the middle is Zhujiazhuang, in the west is Hujiazhuang, and in the east is Lijiazhuang. On these three villages, the three villages combined, there are always more than 2,000 military horses. Only the most heroic man in Zhujiazhuang, the head of the family, called Zhu Chaofeng, has three sons, named Zhu's three heroes. The eldest son Zhu Long, the second son Zhu Hu, and the third son Zhu Biao. There is another teacher, called Luan Tingyu, who is an iron rod, and this person has the courage of ten thousand people. There are more than 1,000 powerful bankers in the village.

The Hujiazhuang in the west, the owner of the village, Hu Taigong, has a son, called the Flying Tiger Hucheng, which is also very good. Only one daughter is the most heroic, named Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang, so that the two of them have two swords, and they will immediately follow the law. There are more than 400 good fighters in the village.

On the east village, the owner's surname is Li, the name should be, he can make a muddy iron point steel gun, hide five flying knives on his back, take people in a hundred steps, and the gods are haunted, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called the eagles. There are more than 600 good fighters in the village.

These three villages made a life and death vow and worked together, but there were good luck and evil, and they responded to each other.

With such a geographical advantage, such a hero, and a total of more than 2,000 people in Sanzhuang, there is indeed capital not to put Liangshan in his eyes.

Dulonggang Sanzhuang! Hehe, if you want to complete your plan, it seems that you have to cut them down.

The next day, Chao Chong did not take Li Kui and the four of them to escort him, but went down the mountain with Shi Qian and Huang Xin, and rode a horse to see the famous Sanzhuang in person.

When I arrived at Dulonggang, I saw that the path was tortuous and complicated, the four corners were similar, the trees were dense, and it was difficult to recognize the road.

Chao Chong smiled and said: "In this broad daylight, can't the three of us get lost in this forest!" ”

Shi Qian saw Chao Chong's relaxed expression, thinking that he didn't know the power of this Dulonggang forest, and hurriedly explained: "Lord, this Dulonggang forest is a hidden mystery. Don't look at the roads, but there are living roads and dead roads. ”

Huang Xin rarely had contact with this thin man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks, but he also knew that this was a brother who had followed Chao Chong from birth to death, and looking at his name for Chao Chong, he knew that their relationship was not ordinary, and interjected: "Brother Shi, what is the way of life and the way of death?" ”

Shi Qian glanced at Huang Xin and said: "Just look at the poplar tree, you can turn, regardless of the width of the road, this is the way to live; Without the poplar tree, it's a dead end. There are usually various traps on the way to death, and if you are not careful, you will die in them. ”

Chao Chong was depressed in his heart, the secret of the original way of life and the way of death, Chao Chong saw it when he was reading the original book, he wanted to pretend to be mysterious and unpredictable, so that people could worship it a little, and he didn't want to be broken by Shi Qian's words.

Chao Chong said: "How did you find out? ”

Shi Qian said with a smile: "There are tens of thousands of people living in Dulonggang, and there are always people in and out every day. ”

"Well, that's that simple."

According to the words of the times, the three of them walked along the living road all the way, and when they saw the poplar tree, they turned around, and sure enough, they turned out in less than twenty miles. Arrived at a large village. There is a flat land on the hill, with seven or eight hundred houses lined up, and it is a place where the inhabitants live.

And the walled city of Zhujiazhuang is built on the high hill, there are three layers of city walls, all of which are built of stubborn stones, about two zhang high. There are two village gates in front and back, and two suspension bridges. On all four sides of the wall, there are nests, guns, knives and weapons are inserted everywhere, and war drums and gongs are lined up on the gatehouse.

When the people of the village saw three strangers on horseback, they quickly became vigilant and ran to report to the walled city.

Chao Chong saw that the vigilance of the people here was quite high, so he didn't stay anymore and went west with Shi Qian and Huang Xin.

After walking less than fifteen miles, he met a group of men and horses, seven or eight people riding war horses, all bending bows and arrows, and three or five pairs of green and white whistle horses, with a young strong man in the middle, sitting on a snow-white horse, all draped with bows and arrows, and holding a silver spear. Walking side by side with the boy is a young girl, with a chain of armor lined with red yarn, embroidered willow waist crossing, a green-maned horse under her crotch, and a natural beauty begonia flower. Two scimitars hung from his waist, and he immediately had bows and arrows.

They were also taken aback when they suddenly met Chao Chong and the three of them, and the young man at the head shouted, "Where are you?" Why do you come to Dulonggang? ”

At this time, Zhujiazhuang and Liangshanbo were not hostile, at most it was not pleasing to the eye, so the vigilance of the people in Zhujiazhuang was not so strong, and at most it could only be regarded as vigilance.

Chao Chong smiled: "You don't know me? ”

Zhu Biao thought about it carefully, and really hadn't seen this person, so he said, "I don't care who you are!" ”

Chao Chong didn't panic, and said with a smile: "That's it, this Great Song Dynasty world is for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, why do you come here, but I can't?" ”

The young man saw that Chao Chong was about the same age as himself, and he was also carrying a knife and a bow, thinking that he was also out hunting, so he hummed: "This is Dulonggang, a radius of thirty miles is owned by my Zhujiazhuang, and every grass and tree on the mountain, every bird and beast is also my family, without my permission, I won't let you shoot, what can you do!" ”

The lord humiliated his ministers to death, and Shi Qian suddenly became angry. Huang Xin also touched his hand to the hilt of his mourning sword.

Chao Chong smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful! Under the surname Hao, a single name of a benevolent character, living in Haojiazhuang, not far from here, today followed two retinues out to hunt. Everyone in the world says that the prey on Dulonggang is good, so we wander here. I don't want to meet the owner of this place, I don't know which of the three heroes of the Zhu family is this handsome and chic, and the son with extraordinary bearing? ”

The young man was praised by others, and couldn't help but be proud, glanced at the beautiful woman next to him, coughed dryly, and raised his voice: "I am the third son Zhu Biao!" ”

Chao Chong applauded and smiled: "Could it be Zhao Yun of the White Horse Silver Spear Competition, a bow and a divine shot to raise Youji, a young jade face to beat Pan An, and the people of the rivers and lakes call --- Zhu Biao who shines on the ground!" ”

"Hey, hey, there's still a legend about me on the rivers and lakes? You're not lying to me! Zhu Biao laughed heartily.

Shi Qian and Huang Xin almost laughed out loud, there were so many good words in front of them, but in the end, this person's name turned out to be "pig fat!" ”

Why is there such a big contrast?

Shi Qian and Huang Xin bowed their heads and forced a smile. And the girl next to Zhu Biao covered her mouth and laughed.

The young man was a little dissatisfied and said, "Sanniang, why are you laughing? ”

The girl's laughter trembled, and she finally stopped laughing, and said, "The man who praises you so much must be a blind man, and does he not have eyes to see what kind of virtue you are?" ”

The young man glared at the girl very dissatisfied, and when he looked at Chao Chong again, he also had a little doubt: "I rarely go out of the mountains, why do I have my name on the rivers and lakes?" ”

Chao Chong let out a long sigh, touched his face a few times, and sighed again.

Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Why sigh? ”

Chao Chong said: "I just feel that the world is unfair!" I want to be Hao Jiazhuang Hao Ren, three years old to learn literature, seven years old to practice martial arts, only eight buckets high, rich nine cars, on the knowledge of astronomy and geography, down to know trivial, omniscient, omnipotent, omniscient, every time I go out to walk, often lead beautiful women to turn back, handsome men are worried. Its advantages are as continuous as the surging river, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, out of control, it is really a dragon among people, a genius of the world! ”

Zhu Biao heard Chao Chong boast like this, and felt that he might really be a capable person, and said even more curiously: "I can't imagine that Brother Hao has such skills and accumulates many advantages, so why do you still say that the world is unfair?" ”

Chao Chong sighed: "I am so good, but I am only given the title of a little Zhuge on the rivers and lakes." On the contrary, some people do not often go out of the mountains, but they are famous in the rivers and lakes, admired by everyone, and give them the nickname of Red Tassel on the ground, every time I think about it, I really feel unfair! ”

Zhu Biao was overjoyed, but he was a little embarrassed, and comforted Chao Chong: "Brother Tai, why are you so annoyed, you are also very powerful, you have a good export, and you must have extraordinary skills when you think about it." It's just a little worse than me! By the way, what does this red tassel mean? ”

Chao Chong said: "Your Excellency also has a red tassel on the silver spear, and naturally knows that the role of the red tassel is to block blood. It contains the meaning of heads-up invincibility. ”

Zhu Biaoxi said: "Really? ”

Chao Chong sighed: "People often say that hearing is false, seeing is believing. Originally, I was very dissatisfied with Brother Zhu's evaluation. But when I saw it today, I felt that it was too late to meet. I wish my brother to be handsome and chic, graceful, Yushu in the wind, young and knowledgeable, smart, lively and lovely, graceful and extraordinary. This praise is well deserved! ”

Zhu Biao laughed, looked at the girl beside him and said, "Sanniang, now you should know how powerful I am!" ”

The girl snorted coldly and said, "Fool! ”

Zhu Biao's face turned cold and said, "What did you say?" Do you say that about your future husband? ”

The girl snorted coldly and turned her head away, saying no more.

Chao Chong smiled: "Brother Zhu, why be angry, the world is so stupid, always jealous of beautiful things, you and I are both dragons and phoenixes among people, why care about these small details!" ”

Zhu Biao became happy again, dismounted and said: "It's really nice to meet Brother Hao, why don't you come down and have two drinks together!" ”

Chao Chong also threw the saddle and dismounted: "Today's meeting between you and me is the arrangement of fate, how can you be without wine?" Just bother with two glasses. ”

Everyone dismounted and went to a shade of a tree, and the guests of Zhujiazhuang had already laid out blankets and brought wine, melons, fruits, and dried meat.

Those Zhuang Ke's eyes were full of hostility when they looked at Chao Chong, they originally thought that their ability to coax Zhu Biao was strong enough, but they didn't want to, there was a more slapstick person! This is going to be recruited into the village by the third son, will everyone still have a chance to be in the limelight?

The girl also looked at Chao Chong with a bad look, she saw that Chao Chong had been carrying a seven-foot long knife behind his back, so she deliberately found fault and said, "What a long knife, can you show me?" ”

It has always been taboo to look at people and weapons on the rivers and lakes. Shi Qian and Huang Xin's bodies are tense and ready to respond to emergencies at any time. The hand seems to be casual, but it has always stayed in the position where it is easiest to draw the weapon.

Even Zhu Biao felt that the girl's request was a bit rude.

Chao Chong pulled out the long knife with a smile and said, "The girl wants to see it, naturally it doesn't matter, but it's too sharp, just like this." ”

After Chao Chong finished speaking, with a wave of the blade, he cut through an elm tree the thickness of a basin, and the diagonal upward incision was neat and smooth, and soon the entire main trunk of the elm tree fell to the ground. This is called the technique of "breaking wood".

Everyone was shocked, and Zhu Biao saw that Chao Chong was really a capable person, and he strengthened his heart to make friends. reprimanded the girl: "The weapon is the treasure of the people of the rivers and lakes, how can people watch it at will, and they will not retreat!" ”

The girl Hu Sanniang was also shocked by Chao Chong's move "Broken Wood", she used a knife, so she naturally knew the difficulty of breaking wood, not to mention that the incision was so neat and smooth! This is not something you can do on your own.

Chao Chong saw that Hu Sanniang was no longer entangled, so he inserted the long knife back behind his back, looked up at the treetops, stretched out his hand and said, "Bow here!" ”

Shi Qian took the bow and arrow from the horse and handed it to Chao Chong.

Chao Chong picked up his bow and arrow, and pointed at the tree: "How can there be no meat without wine, wait for me to shoot a bird and roast it for wine!" ”

But Chao Chong didn't shoot for a long time. The reason is naturally that his archery skills are average, and if he shoots with his head up like this, he may not be able to shoot accurately.

In the end, Chao Chong sighed and said: "Originally, I was ambitious, but when I met Brother Zhu, I was ashamed of myself, and in front of Brother Zhu, I didn't even dare to play with a bow and arrow!" ”

Zhu Biao laughed and said, "Brother Hao, why be so polite, wait a minute, watch me shoot a bird for you to drink!" ”

So Zhu Biao confidently drew his bow and arrow, shot an arrow, and swished into the forest, but he didn't see a bird feather falling.

Zhu Biao shot empty!!

For a while, Zhu Biao's face was as red as blood, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Whoosh" was another arrow, a bird fell to the ground, and the girl Hu Sanniang put down the bow and arrow in her hand and said: "You dare to show off such skills, I really don't know where your arrogance comes from?" ”

Zhu Biao's face was even more flushed, and he lowered his head as if he was looking for a crack in the ground to get into.

Chao Chong sighed and said, "This girl's archery skills are natural and exquisite, but she doesn't understand the good intentions of me and Brother Zhu, it's really amazing!" ”

Zhu Biao grabbed the lifeline like a person who had fallen into the water, raised his eyes to Chao Chong and said, "Brother Hao is right, tell her how we have good intentions!" ”

Hu Sanniang looked at Chao Chong, and said with an unkind expression: "I'm not that ignorant child, you better save it, I don't believe anything you say!" ”

Chao Chong didn't care, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu and I both grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, and our family has a lot of money, I haven't eaten anything, I haven't seen anything, right, Brother Zhu?" ”

Zhu Biao hurriedly nodded and said, "Not bad!" ”

Chao Chong said, "Are we people who covet the lust of tongues? Of course not! It was just a test. I wanted to test Brother Zhu's morality, and Brother Zhu really didn't disappoint me, and deliberately missed the arrow! It's just that I just want to spare the bird's life, so benevolent, let Hao admire, and it really deserves to be a dragon and phoenix among people like me! ”

Zhu Biaoxi said: "Not bad! I just missed it on purpose! ”

"You guys? What a shameless couple! Hu San snorted coldly, got on his own green-maned horse, and was about to leave in anger.

Chao Chong shouted: "Wait! ”

Hu Sanniang rode on the horse, looked at Chao Chong angrily and said, "What do you want?" ”

Chao Chong handed her the downed bird and the bow and arrow, "Please take this thing away, don't stain my eyes and my brother Zhu!" ”

Hu Sanniang snatched it away, threw it into the woods, glanced at Chao Chong provocatively, snorted coldly, and turned the horse away.

Hu Sanniang is gone, Chao Chong can unfold the flickering Dafa, block Zhu Biao's flickering mouth, and listen to the truth in Zhujiazhuang.

Shi Qian on the side sighed while memorizing attentively, the lord is the lord, and even the ability to fool people is so powerful. But looking back, he and Wu Song, Dongfang, Yang Zhi, and Luda seem to have been fooled by the lord like this.

After some wine and meat, Zhu Biao and Chao Chong both shouted that they hated each other, and agreed to visit each other in the future, so they said goodbye.

After returning home, Zhu Biao was very excited to tell his father and brother about today's experience, and praised Chao Chong as a rare genius----- alongside himself. Zhu Chaofeng also said: "If you really have such skills, it is worth wooing!" ”

The focus of Zhu Long and Zhu Hu is, I don't know what the nicknames of their brothers are on the rivers and lakes?

Only the teacher Luan Tingyu heard the problem and interrupted the gushing Zhu Biao: "You said that Hao Gongzi has a seven-foot long knife behind his back?" ”

Zhu Biaoxing's head was broken, and he was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to show it in the face of Luan Tingyu, and said: "Yes, it's still very sharp, and I cut off an elm tree with the thickness of a basin with one knife!" ”

Luan Tingyu said: "The entourage beside him is a reckless man with a face like black charcoal, and his face is extremely ugly? ”

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "No, it's a thin man with a sharp beak and a dignified man." ”

Luan Tingyu said worriedly: "Although the entourage is wrong, I think he is very much like a person!" ”

Zhu Chaofeng also sensed something was wrong from Luan Tingyu's words and said, "Who is he like?" ”

Luan Tingyu said: "Young Master Liangshanbo, Chao Chong!" This person is fierce and abnormal, with the courage of ten thousand people, and the mind of a cunning fox. His characteristics are the seven-foot-long knife behind his back, and his personal retinue of the ugly man Li Kui. Although the entourage is not matched, the ability to cut off wood with a knife is by no means something that ordinary people can have, even if it is me, it is only reluctantly! ”

Zhu Chaofeng was also a little nervous and said: "If it is really Chao Chong, the young master of Liangshan, what is the matter with him coming to spy on my Zhujiazhuang?" ”

Luan Tingyu said: "According to my speculation, this Chao Chong deliberately did not have too obvious Li Kui, just to detect the reality of my Zhujiazhuang, that Chao Chong, as the big leader of the army on Liangshan, will definitely not come to my village to spy for no reason, he must want to come to my village to borrow grain." It's a pity that he has already spied the terrain and talked with the third prince for a long time, afraid that many things have already been heard! ”

Zhu Chaofeng looked at Zhu Biao angrily and said, "Third brother, what did you tell him?" ”

Zhu Biao felt that something was wrong, and after thinking about it carefully, he broke out in a cold sweat and said, "What should be said, ...... said."

Zhu Chao picked up his crutches and was about to beat, but was persuaded by Zhu Long and Zhu Hu.

Luan Tingyu relieved Zhu Biao and said: "This is just speculation, not necessarily true." But just in case, I suggest that the village should be on guard from today and respond to the attack of Yangsan at any time! ”

Zhu Chaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's all up to the teacher!" You must block the Liang bandits! ”

……………………………….

Chao Chong, Shi Qian, Huang Xin and his entourage passed Zhujiazhuang and continued eastward, preparing to go to Lijiazhuang to have a look.

Shi Qian said: "Lord, aren't you afraid that your hidden line will be discovered by the Zhu family?" ”

Chao Chong chuckled: "I deliberately cut out that knife to leave a flaw for them to see through." If you can't even see through this, then Zhujiazhuang is not worth mentioning. ”

Shi Qian said: "What if I see through it?" ”
