Chapter 35: Origins
Wu Yong had been following behind Wang Xi, and when he saw Zong Ze riding out of the city, he said to Liu Tang: "The big thing has been decided, let's take the road and hurry back to Liangshan!" ”
Liu Tang took the hat and said with a smile: "These days are suffocating, when we return to Liangshan, I will ask my brother to invite us to have a drink." ”
Wu Yong said with a smile: "As long as this matter is done, you will take a bath with wine, and my brother will not be reluctant when he pours it." ”
The two went to the city, rode the horse brought from Liangshan, and specially copied the path, and there was naturally trouble on the road, Liu Tang did not ask the names of those thieves, as long as someone jumped out of the woods, without saying a word, it was Pu Dao, so the next afternoon, the two rushed to Liangshan and reported the good news to Deng Long.
Deng Long was naturally overjoyed, and set up a banquet for the two of them, and washed the dust for the two of them.
Wu Yong was at the banquet and exclaimed: "That Zong Ze is really not an ordinary person, if I hadn't released the news in advance to let him know the bottom of his heart, Wang Xi and Huang An are afraid that there is very little hope of success." ”
Deng Long said: "If it were an ordinary person, would we use so much effort!" As long as he is framed out of the city and his family is brought to Liangshan, he will not be satisfied. It's just that Zong Ze is too terrifying, if we take his family as an ancient, he will be angry, point to the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou, and attack Liangshan, I dare to assert that as long as there are 2,000 men and horses, none of us will be able to escape. ”
Wu Yong sighed: "Brother's words are true, I have met heroes who occupy mountains as kings in other states and counties, but I have never encountered a petty theft in Dengzhou, and I only learned that the strongmen in Dengzhou have been exterminated by Zong Ze, and no cottage can withstand Zong Ze's attack for a day." ”
Deng Long said in his heart: Even the Jin Army, who is known as 'Jurchen is not ten thousand, and more than ten thousand are invincible', was beaten by his old man, not to mention those grass kings.
Deng Long asked, "How long will it take for them to get to Jeju?" ”
"Probably tomorrow afternoon!" He and Liu Tang came by small road, while Zong Ze and they took the official road, of course, a little slower.
"The military advisor has a good night's rest today, and tomorrow morning, we will go down the mountain together and meet the old man."
Thinking of tomorrow's situation, Deng Long couldn't help but worry for a while, everything that should be done has been done, it's just about tomorrow's trembling, there must be no accidents!
In the afternoon of the next day, when Zong Ze and his gang were still more than ten miles away from Jeju City, a general appeared on the road, riding a horse and holding an iron gun, and shouted: "Well, I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave and buy road money." ”
Wang Xi said immediately: "We didn't bring much money when we came out, can the hero let us go?" ”
Before Wang Xi finished speaking, Zong Ze immediately snatched the Pu knife in Huang An's hand and shouted: "What a thief, in broad daylight, he actually blocked the road and robbed and ate the old man's knife." ”
Zong Ze rushed to Lin Chong as soon as he slapped the horse, Pu Dao slashed Lin Chong's Tianling Gai with the sound of the wind, Lin Chong was also shocked by Zong Ze's shout, Deng Long didn't say that Zong Ze knew martial arts, Lin Chong was slightly stunned, Pu Dao was already less than a foot away from his head.
Lin Chong hurriedly grabbed to block the whereabouts of Pu Dao, 'dang long', the spark went straight up, Zong Ze exerted all his strength, pressed down, Lin Chong's gun tip shook, shook off Zong Ze's Pu knife, and went straight to Zong Ze's heart.
Zong Ze is not a vegetarian either, he took a Pu knife to swing away Lin Chong's gun, and the two became a tug-of-war.
Ten rounds passed, and the two did not blush, their hearts did not beat, and they continued to fight.
Zong Ze can't reach the age in the end, when the two fought for fifty rounds, Lin Chong sold a flaw, Zong Ze used his last bit of strength to swing the knife and cut it, Lin Chong jumped off the horse, squatted down and swept the horse's legs, the four legs of the war horse were broken by Lin Chong, the war horse neighed, and suddenly fell to the ground.
Zong Ze knew that he had been tricked at the moment when Lin Chong jumped off the horse, and at the moment when the war horse fell, he took advantage of the situation and a donkey rolled and fell into the grass next to him.
Deng Long was in the woods, he sweated for Lin Chong, the official history only said that Zong Ze was both civil and military, but he didn't say how powerful Zong Ze's martial arts were, Lin Chong was a proper first-class general, and now he is still in the prime of life, you must know that Zong Ze is sixty years old, and he has been on the road for a day, and he is still hungry.
In this way, Zong Ze still fought with Lin Chong for fifty or sixty rounds, if Zong Ze had eaten enough and his physical strength was not consumed, would Lin Chong still be able to put down Zong Ze?
The moment Zong Ze fell to the ground, he got up and said, "Who are you down, why do you know the Lin family's marksmanship?" ”
Lin Chong thought that Zong Ze was delaying time, and was about to step forward to take Zong Ze, but Zong Ze continued: "What is the relationship between you and Lin Wenyi. ”
Lin Chong stopped and said in surprise: "You know your father, why did your father never mention you." ”
Zong Ze said with a strange face: "Do you know the old man!" ”
Lin Chong said embarrassedly: "You haven't answered my words yet." He was excited for a moment, leaked out of the horse's feet, and asked Zong Ze with a red face.
Zong Ze turned around, looked at Wang Xi and the others behind him, and said, "You turned out to be a gang, what do you want to do by earning the old man here?" ”
When Huang An saw that his identity was revealed, he commanded his men and horses to surround Zong Ze, and more than 300 minions surrounded Lin Chong and Zong Ze in the center.
Lin Chong said: "You haven't said yet, what is the relationship between you and your father?" ”
Zong Ze knew that he was not in danger, threw down the Pu knife, sat on the ground, and said with a smile: "When I met your father, you were still peeing and playing with mud!" He burst out laughing.
Lin Chong blushed on the side, and said angrily: "Don't say it quickly, if you dare to tell a little lie, I will kill you alive today." Lin Chong is already in his thirties, and he has no temper when he is teased by Zong Ze.
Zong Ze sighed: "The people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining!" Your father didn't dare to talk to me like that back then! Zong Ze sighed, and when he saw Lin Chong's restless heart, he told the origin.
Thirty-five years ago, Zong Ze fell to Sun Shan in the imperial examination, but he didn't get in, just when he was depressed, Lin Chong's father appeared, and when he saw Zong Ze squatting in the corner of the wall and drawing circles, he knew that Zong Ze had fallen off the list, and Lin Wenyi would still be a gangster in Kaifeng, so he opened his mouth to mock Zong Ze a few words.
Zong Ze was angry and had nowhere to spill, Lin Wenyi just gave Zong Ze a reason to be angry, and with a thunderbolt, Lin Wenyi was tragic, and was beaten by Zong Ze.
It is said that people who are gangsters have a good eloquence, Lin Wenyi is like a lotus, and hurriedly begged for mercy. Zong Ze saw that he was almost angry, so he let Lin Wenyi go.
The matter was already over at this point, but Lin Wenyi was unwilling to return home, and found a group of fox friends and dog friends to find Zong Ze for revenge, but of course there was no accident, more than a dozen gangsters were knocked down by Zong Ze with three punches and two kicks, and Lin Wenyi saw Zong Ze's martial arts clearly.
I can't feel it alone during the day, but now I can fight ten by one, and before I can make a cup of tea, my buddies will **** over the ground, Lin Wenyi hurriedly apologized to Zong Ze and invited Zong Ze to drink a meal, the two can talk, and after a meal, they have become good friends who have nothing to say.
Due to the failure of the imperial examination, Zong Ze was idle, so he stayed in the capital and handed over Lin Wenyi's martial arts for two months, strictly speaking, Zong Ze is still Lin Wenyi's master, the two are not much different in age, Zong Ze is twenty-eight, Lin Wenyi is twenty-two years old, and after two months of getting along, Lin Wenyi proposed to worship Zong Ze.
Zong Ze knew that Lin Wenyi's nature was not bad, so he agreed, and after the two got married, they got along for more than a month, Zong Ze couldn't rest assured that his mother at home would leave Lin Wenyi and go home.
Lin Wenyi also wanted to travel and hone his martial arts, and the two agreed that they would reunite here in three years, so they parted ways and went home south. One traveled north.
Three years later, Zong Ze returned to the capital first, participated in the scientific examination, won the first place in one fell swoop, and lifted people in the examination, Lin Wenyi did not miss the appointment, and arrived in the capital on the back foot.
The two drank a meal, Lin Wenyi proposed to fight with Zong Ze, Zong Ze readily agreed, the two came to the courtyard, Zong Ze held a Pu knife, and Lin Wenyi took out an iron gun and fought against Zong Ze.
Zong Ze has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, Lin Wen Yiman has only been practicing martial arts for three years, and he is Zong Ze's opponent, if it weren't for his too exquisite marksmanship, he might not be able to last twenty or thirty rounds in Zong Ze's hands.
When the two fought for sixty rounds, Zong Ze subdued Lin Wenyi with one move, Zong Ze secretly wiped a cold sweat, if Lin Wenyi didn't get home, he would be subdued now. Helping Lin Wenyi up, Zong Ze asked Lin Wenyi about the past three years.
Lin Wenyi only said that he met Yiren and saw that he had good bones, so he got along with him for three days and passed on his own set of marksmanship. Lin Wenyi walked all the way, honing his marksmanship all the way, until the time of his appointment with Zong Ze was almost up, and he returned to the capital.
Soon Zong Ze was released and went to the local government to be the county commander, and Lin Wenyi defeated countless competitors with his good marksmanship and became the head of the forbidden army.
In ancient times, there was no telephone, and they could be contacted anytime and anywhere, and at the beginning, the two still exchanged letters, but Zong Ze was transferred around, and the two were busy with official business, so the two broke off contact.
Time flies, more than 30 years have passed, Zong Ze is over 60 years old, and he is naturally embarrassed to meet the descendants of his best friends in Jeju.
