Three or four days after Qiao Daoqing left, Cao Qi sent Fu Bo to Liangshan in person, please be sure to come to Tokyo immediately before his birthday in May, Li Jing was born on May 2, according to Cao Qi's meaning, he wanted Li Jing to do his 20-year-old coronation in Bianjing. Seeing Cao Qi'www.biquge.info s insistence, Li Jing was reluctant to refuse, in Li Jing's heart, Cao Qi naturally would not harm himself, not to mention that Li Jing still wanted to ask Cao Qi for advice.

After hearing that Li Jing intended to expand the number of cottagers, Ruan Xiaoqi became active again, but in two or three days, he actually brought more than 1,300 people to Li Jing, all of whom were people from fishing villages near Liangshanbo, among which there were about 500 young people who could be soldiers, but at this time, Liangshan resources were not scarce, and Li Jing naturally did not refuse.

After all, there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses at the peak of Liangshan, which may be a little watery, but if you count the land around Shuibo, as long as you can buy enough food, it is not impossible.

This day was the beginning of April, Li Jing still had more than half a month to implement his "Liangshan Caravan Protection Plan", since Wu Gao passed by that day, several caravans passed through Liangshan, Li Jing also let Zhu Gui only charge half of the fee, and set up supply points in some areas, providing food and water, so as to avoid the caravan from entering the city to be exploited.

A few days later, Li Jing heard that there was a caravan because of the high remuneration of Liangshan, and the escort route was too close and did not want to go from Liangshan, but it was a pity that Liangshan was not born as a foot merchant, Li Jing did not know the specific income, but since someone was willing to pay the capital of one percent of the goods, it means that the remuneration collected by Liangshan was not too much. Li Jing had already planned to ask Shi Xiu, who knew the inside story, when he waited for Shi Xiu to deliver food to Liangshan two days later.

And now Li Jing's primary purpose is several important cottages on Jingdong East Road, among which Taohuashan and Li Jing have cooperated earlier, and the weapons transaction with Qingzhou is also through Taohuashan, and if you want to come to Taohuashan, you only need to send someone to say it. It's just that Deng Long of Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou suffered a big loss here at the beginning, and I'm afraid it was a little difficult, but Li Jingliang and Deng Long didn't dare to rob the caravan protected by Liangshan. As for Qingzhou in Dengzhou to the east, there is still a soldier and horse to guard Sun Li, and Li Jing has no plans to develop towards Dengzhou for the time being.

In addition to Kaiqingzhou, the first one is Kouzhou Dry Tree Mountain. There is only one leader of the Dead Tree Mountain, named Bao Xu, who, like Huang Xin, makes a mourning sword. On weekdays, he robbed houses and houses, and there were six or seven hundred minions and two or three hundred war horses. Because of his vicious appearance, he is as good at killing people as Li Kui, and he is known as the god of mourning. In the original trajectory, he, like Li Kui, was a member of the "Murder Four" of the Liangshan Infantry Army.

The distance of Withered Tree Mountain is only seventy or eighty miles, but two days away, Li Jing sent Li Kui to lead people to take the first step, and he took some men and horses to be half a day's foot, it stands to reason that Li Kui and Bao Xu should be very eye-to-eye, and Li Jing didn't have to fight, but when Li Jing arrived at Withered Tree Mountain, he found that under this Withered Tree Mountain, Li Kui was fighting with a villain.

When he got closer, Li Jing saw a wicked man holding a mourning sword, facing Li Kui's two-plate axe, thinking that it should be the 'mourning god' Bao Xu. Li Jing saw that the minions on both sides were watching the excitement, and saw that the two were not fighting, so he breathed a sigh of relief. These two are both strong people, and they show their strength in every move, no wonder the little minions on both sides are very happy to watch.

It didn't take long for Xu to be tired, as if he had discussed it in advance, and the two jumped out of the battle group together, Li Kui noticed that Li Jing had arrived, and hurriedly pulled Bao Xu in front of Li Jing and introduced: "Brother, this is my host, the most righteous, and I Tie Niu is the most obedient in my life!" ”

Thinking about it, Li Kui has told Bao Xu everything, Bao Xu is in charge of the cottage alone, it was okay at the beginning, just loot casually, and now the notoriety of the withered tree mountain has spread out, and the six or seven hundred people in the village eat horses and chew to make Bao Xu have a headache, and now he meets a like-minded Li Kui.

Listening to what Li Kui said earlier, Li Jing intends to recruit troops and buy horses, and he has heard of Li Jing's name Bao Xu, but now that he sees that Li Jing is about 20 years old, so young, and he even looks a little thin and scholarly, he regrets it a little in his heart.

If Li Jing knew Bao Xu's thoughts, he would definitely cry out for injustice, I just don't have so much fat on you, where is it like a thin scholar!

Let's say that Bao Xu was a little hesitant, but Li Kui did not hesitate, and after introducing Bao Xu to Li Jing, he hurriedly praised himself and said: "The owner, Brother Bao Xu wants to defect to my Liangshan, this is my Tie Niu persuasion!" ”

Li Jing saw Li Kui puffing out his chest and looking like he wanted to praise, he was secretly amused in his heart, of course he would not let him down, and immediately praised: "Well, Tie Niu should remember a great achievement, say, what reward do you want?" ”

"Reward?" Li Kui obviously didn't think about this, scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, and suddenly thought that when he lived in the mountain behind the cottage, the mother of the Ruan brothers made a new dress for each leader on the mountain.

"The owner, I want to take my wife to the mountain to enjoy happiness!"

"Pick up the old lady?" Li Jing was shocked when he heard this, and then thought that with his own presence, where would Li Kui's wife be unhappy in her old age, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Won't it work?" Li Jing thought about it, Li Kuike became anxious, for fear that Li Jing would not be accurate, so he asked a little nervously.

And Bao Xu saw Li Jing like this, thinking that Li Jing was going to refuse, and immediately clenched his fists, he and Li Kui hit it off at first sight, thinking in his heart that if Li Jing dared to refuse the request of his stupid brother, he must let Li Jing taste the taste of his big casserole fist on his face!

Seeing that Tie Niu was so nervous, Li Jing immediately understood that Tie Niu had misunderstood, but he didn't pay attention to Bao Xu on the side, and immediately explained: "It's filial piety for you to pick up the old lady, how can I refuse!" It's just that you are careless, and I don't worry about you going alone, so I was thinking about which safe brother to go with you! ”

Li Kui's face immediately showed joy when he heard this, and Li Jing said again: "Besides, Tie Niu, you go to pick up the old lady, where is the reward, I don't think you can think of anything for a while, keep it for now, and then tell me when you think of it later." ”

Li Kui nodded happily, and after a while, he thought that the main owner he was going to introduce to the cottage was still beside him and didn't speak! asked: "Brother Bao Xu, my owner is here, why don't you speak?" ”

I saw Bao Xu's face change for a while, and suddenly bowed to Li Jings is legs, and said, "The little brother blames the elder brother, and asks the elder brother to forgive him!" ”

Li Jing didn't know why, he wanted to help Bao Xu up, but Bao Xu just couldn't get up, and it was useless for Li Kui to help, so Bao Xu told Li Jing all his thoughts on the ground, and even said that he was going to punch Li Jing, and Li Jing knew that he was almost disfigured.

Bao Xu is a straight person, and it can also be said to be a solid eye, just based on Li Jing and Li Kui's rhetoric, he decided that Li Jing was definitely a righteous and capable person, so he deliberately asked for guilt.

For Li Jing, it's just a misunderstanding, and he doesn't care. After asking Bao Xu, Bao Xu was reluctant to stay in Liangshan, and one of the important reasons why he was willing to join Liangshan at the beginning was to fall in love with Li Kui, so he naturally wanted to go to Liangshan.

Li Jing originally wanted to make Dry Tree Mountain a transit station, but since Bao Xu was unwilling to stay here, he simply asked Bao Xu to pack up his men and return to Liangshan with him, and Li Jing planned to leave three hundred minions and Niu Da to garrison here.

Bao Xu was also very happy, knowing that he was going to Liangshan, he greeted his subordinates, packed his things in less than two hours, and then reported to Li Jingyu that he could rush back to Liangshan. made Li Jing cry and laugh, and when Li Jing explained to Bao Xu clearly, he would arrange for people to stay in Dry Tree Mountain, and after setting off again tomorrow, Bao Xu hurriedly ordered the minions to return to their residences......
