Early in the morning of the second day, on the official road to the south of Cangzhou, seven or eight horses galloped, the first one was naturally Zheng Zhi, and there were Shi Jin, Han Shizhong, Sun Shengchao on the left and right, and Lao Hu also brought Niu Da a few personal soldiers.

Looking at the rear of this plain avenue for more than ten miles, the dust is flying, the horse's hooves are shaking the sky, the general who leads the troops, Wang Jin is the leader, and the left and right Luda, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others, followed by more than 1,000 iron cavalry of the Western Army.

When he arrived at Chaijiazhuang, Zheng Zhi led people straight to the village, and Wang Jin stopped more than ten miles away with more than 1,000 iron horses.

It was noon, Chai Jin was eating wine with the guests in the village, and he could hear the report from the people, and the Cangzhou Economic and Slightly Xianggong came to visit the village again, Chai Jin frowned, and asked left and right: "What do you say this Zheng Xianggong is doing again?" ”

Obviously, Chai Jin didn't want to see Zheng Zhi, although he talked and laughed last time, he was also beaten by Zheng Zhi several times, and he also lost face in front of Song Jiang, causing Song Jiang to leave in a hurry the next day, which was really unhappy in Chai Jin's heart.

Hearing that Zheng Zhi came again, Chai Jin's head was naturally two big, and he had to be polite and courteous.

But this Chai Jin is obviously not afraid of Zheng Zhi in his heart, the Chai family has been in the family for more than a hundred years, where is he afraid of the government, only the Great Song Dynasty owes the Chai family, and there is no Chai family that owes the Great Song Dynasty. The world was originally still the world of the Chai family, but it was taken away by the Zhao family, in Chai Jin's heart, how he was at ease was not an exaggeration, and he deserved it.

"Official, isn't this Zheng Xianggong thinking of the official to seek some money here?" A banker replied.

Chai Jin's face changed when he heard this: "I have a meal of wine and meat, and I want my Chai family's money, delusional." Go, follow me to meet this Zheng Xianggong. ”

Although Chai Jin said so, it was not necessarily true, if this Zheng Zhi was polite to him, it would not hurt to send some money. When the Cangzhou prefect first arrived, Chai Jin really sent some money, also so that his Chaijiazhuang could have more convenience.

Chai Jin took a few people to the gate of the house, and when he saw Zheng Zhi who was riding a horse, he naturally smiled and said: "I am saying that there is a happy event today, and the original way is that the distinguished guests are here, Zheng Xianggong is invited quickly." ”

Zheng Zhi also smiled and said: "I'm here to disturb the big officials again, forgive me." ”

"It's lunchtime, it's time for the minister, please come to the table." Chai Jin greeted Zheng Zhi and went into the house.

The wine and food prepared just now only took a few bites, and this time Zheng Zhi entered the main seat, and there were seven or eight military men on the left and right, plus Chai Jin, just one table. But the farmer who had eaten with him just now had to go and get some more food by himself.

Say a few words of greeting, and go back and forth a few times. Zheng Zhi went straight to the point: "Last time I came to hear that the big officials like to shoot and hunt, it just so happens that I am also good, today the bow and horses are complete, it is to invite the big officials to hunt in the wilderness in the afternoon, I don't know if the big officials have to be free?" ”

Chai Jin thought that Zheng Zhi was speaking, so he naturally knocked on the side to signal that he was filial piety for some money, but he didn't expect Zheng Zhi to come to hunt with him, and said with a smile: "Xianggong is interested, where do you dare to refuse, just leave, Zhuangzi to the northwest, there are many brown horse chickens, this chicken is unique to the north, one has a weight of more than ten catties, the meat is extremely delicious, today I will hunt two and Xianggong to taste." ”

"Okay, eat quickly, eat quickly, eat and leave, I can't wait to see this brown horse chicken." After Zheng Zhi finished speaking, he hurriedly used his chopsticks to eat, looking eager. I was still thinking about it, this brown horse chicken seems to have really heard of it, and it is a national first-class protected wild animal in later generations, but it is still eaten in this Great Song Dynasty.

After a few bites of food, Chai Jin changed into a strong suit, picked up the carved treasure bow, and more than a dozen healthy horses in the village all went out, and took Zheng Zhi and a few people out of the village to the northwest.

The horses walked fast, turning from the avenue to the path without slowing down, and Chai Jin beat the horse at a gallop, as if to show the excellence of the horses under the seat.

After more than an hour, everyone came to a low hill, Chai Jin reined in his horses, and slowly turned his head.

"Xianggong, there are many brown horses and chickens here, I don't know how Xianggong's archery technique is? Horses and chickens are cautious, and they can't get close, and you only look at the red spots or blue and white spots in the grass, and you have to shoot when you raise your bow. Chai Jin is obviously quite good at this Tao, and he is the Tao when he talks about it.

Zheng Zhi listened and asked, "Is there a saying between red dots and blue and white?" ”

"Xianggong, this brown horse chicken, the eyes are bright red, the tail feathers are blue and white, shoot when you see it, and let this beast escape a little later." Chai Jin said as he took his carved bow in his hand, slowly dismounted, and carried the bow bag.

Zheng Zhi nodded when he heard this, and also hit the horse, he didn't hold a bow in his hand, archery is a long-term practice experience, obviously Zheng Zhi is not good at it, even if he has a good crossbow bow in the army, he can shoot in the general direction, if he really wants to be accurate prey, Zheng Zhi's archery skills are still a lot worse.

Zheng Zhi's archery skills are a little worse, but it doesn't mean that his subordinates can't do it, don't talk about others, he said that this old soldier Hu Jingzhong, with a strong crossbow in his hand, points where to shoot. Even on the city wall, with a bed crossbow with average accuracy, it can also shoot the Qiang people who are riding horses and galloping two hundred paces away, which shows that Hu Jingzhong's one-handed archery skills are exquisite.

Archery has never been a calculation of the wind level of near and far, but it is all in the experience and feeling of the shooter, the target is in the eye, and he will shoot when he raises his hand. Talent and twenty or thirty years of experience have created an old Hu.

The people dismounted and slowly walked up the hill.

"Xiang Gong is not good at shooting?" Chai Jin saw that Zheng Zhi did not bring a bow, and asked.

Zheng Zhi shook his head and said: "The way of archery is a little clear, it is only an entry, and the way of melee combat has few opponents." ”

Chai Jin smiled when he heard this, but he naturally didn't believe it in his heart, Chai Jin had seen many heroes, and no one dared to brag that there were few opponents, and it was common for him to praise each other. said with a smile: "Xianggong leads the army to fight, and he is naturally brave." Hebei and Shandong also have many vigorous heroes, and they can also learn from each other when they have time to do so. ”

Zheng Zhi naturally didn't care whether Chai Jin believed his words, raised his eyes to look at Chai Jin, and said in a relaxed tone: "I heard that the big officials have a lot of dealings with the thieves on Liangshan?" ”

Chai Jin listened to the words, turned his head to look at Zheng Zhi, met Zheng Zhi's gaze, and hurriedly turned his head to the other side, still thinking about what kind of idea Zheng Xianggong had made this kind of words three times and five times, and replied: "Xianggong, there are many people who are jealous of my Chai family, so this kind of gossip and slander are spread, and Xianggong can't believe it." ”

This Chai Jin obviously has a connection with Liangshan, there is no doubt about it, Lin Chong went to Liangshan and was introduced by Chai Jin. However, now Liangshan is dominated by Chao Gai, Wang Lun is dead, and Chai Jin obviously does not know Chao Gai.

At this time, everyone slowly went up the hill, the sky was blue, the road under the footsteps was not steep, the mountain breeze was gently blowing, it was the time when the autumn was high and comfortable.

Zheng Zhi stepped forward quickly and said with a smile: "Oh? I think it's also true, what kind of identity do the big officials have, how can they be in the company of the thieves on Liangshan, and some people actually come to me to sue the big officials, saying that the big officials will raise a lot of vicious dead soldiers on the rivers and lakes, and they want to... ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Zhi suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Chai Jin with cold eyes.

When Chai Jin heard the words, he was suddenly startled, and asked repeatedly: "Xianggong, what did that person say I want to do?" ”

Zheng Zhi suddenly closed his gaze, stretched out his hand to brush the thatch beside him, and said with a smile: "Haha... The villain who sued the big official actually said that the official wanted. Restoration! ”

"Official, who is this man? is so heart-wrenching, a certain will kill him, my Chai clan, more than 100 years, keep to themselves, where dare to have delusions, officials should be Mingjian! Chai Jin had already stopped, anxious, in this Great Song Dynasty, the Chai family committed any crime is fine, but it is this crime of rebellion, even a hundred Danshu iron scrolls can not be safe.

"Hehe... I know that this person must be framing the innocence of the big official, how happy the big official is Chai Daguan, how can he do such a thing, but the villain who framed the official also said, saying that in Chaijiazhuang, there are all vicious men in the rivers and lakes, and there are many crimes, and they have all been collected by the big officials and killed by their subordinates. . . . Zheng Zhi said this, turned around and looked at more than a dozen fellow Chai Jinzhuangke.

When these villagers saw Zheng Zhi's gaze, they hurriedly put away the weapon and longbow in their hands behind them, and their hearts were already empty.
