However, it was said that Hu Sanniang protected Lin Niangzi, Jin'er and more than ten Chaijiazhuang guests, and two carriages took the road to Hujiazhuang in Dulonggang, Jizhou, and traveled for seven or eight days, without saying anything all the way. On this day, when I arrived at the time of the day, I came to a place in front of me, surrounded by high mountains, and a post road in the middle. Lin Niangzi looked at this and asked, "Sanniang, what kind of place is this?" The end is so precipitous? ”

Sanniang recognized herself, so she said to Lin Niangzi: "Sister-in-law, the name of the place here is called Yinmachuan, and there are often a lot of strong people in the high mountains in front of me, and I don't know how to do it recently." Because the mountains are beautiful, the water surrounds the peaks, so it is called the Drinking Horse River. ”

Lin Niangzi heard that there was a strongman, and she was scared and said, "Since there is a strongman, let's go somewhere else." Sanniang said: "Only this road is near, since I followed the master to learn art, I went home once in two or three years, and I walked here, although there are many strong people here, but they are all guts bandits, even after walking a few times, I have been taught to fight, there are five or seven hundred people, and there are not enough to be afraid." ”

Seeing that Sanniang was determined, Lin Niangzi also relieved her heart, and the group walked forward again, and came to the side of the mountain, only to hear a sudden gong sound, war drums sounded, walked out of one or two hundred small minions, blocked the way, and first hugged two good men, each holding a simple knife, pointing at Hu Sanniang and shouting: "Pedestrians must stop." What kind of birdman are you? Where to go? Hurry up and get the money to buy the road, and spare your two lives! ”

Hu Sanniang instructed Zhuang Ke to be optimistic about Lin Niangzi and Jin'er, took a few steps forward, looked sideways, and said with a smile: "I have also walked more than a dozen times this drinking Machuan, it turned out that a few unsuccessful little guys were stationed here, when did you replace the two of you here?" ”

The good man above shouted: "You are from the village, so I can teach you to know that this place has been taken by the two of us a few months ago, but when it is time to pass, I will leave the money to buy the road!" ”

Hu Sanniang smiled: "If you want money, it depends on whether you two have the ability to do it!" "After that, he pulled out the sun and moon double knives, and as soon as he urged the horse under his crotch, he was going to catch up and fight. Seeing her fierceness, the two hurriedly said: "Stay, since you are a native of the country, you can come by name!" ”

Sanniang grabbed the horse and smiled: "I am a Qinghu Lan in Jizhou!" Both of them were taken aback, and the hero above shouted, "Didn't you use your name or surname?" Sanniang said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask me about these two knives." The next one said: "I heard that the righteous soldiers of the Western Army, Jizhou Yizhang Qinghu Lan is a divine shot, you can shoot a few arrows to see!" ”

Sanniang sneered: "My magic arrow only takes people's lives, not for playing!" If you two want to fight, you will fight, and you will talk a lot. The man above said: "It's okay, when you can fight me, you will believe you, but you have ridden a horse, and you have fought cheaply, can you dare to get off your horse and fight with me?" ”

Sanniang got off the horse and said, "Why don't you dare?!" At that moment, he stepped forward with a pair of knives, and the big man on the top roared, and he came to greet him with a knife, and the two of you came and fought in one place.

After fighting for more than ten times, the big man was no match for Sanniang's fast knife, and he was killed and retreated, and the next person roared when he saw it, and came up to fight Sanniang. Sanniang was not afraid, and said coquettishly: "It's a good time!" "Transporting the jade ring step, the chain strength, and the two of them fight, within more than 20 combinations, neither of them can be stopped.

Seeing that the two martial arts were not weak, Sanniang's heart moved, and after jumping out of the circle, she stood with a sword, looked at the two and said with a smile: "Seeing that your two martial arts are extraordinary, how about you stop here?" Both of them were exhausted from being killed, and gasped and said: "Sure enough, the name is well deserved, he is really a righteous soldier of the Western Army, and he is really a good means." ”

After a little respite, the big man at the top carried the weapon and cut it forward, so he called the chief man to cut it, and Sanniang helped the two up. The head of the Han said: "Hu Yishi, Xiao Keyuan is a native of Xiangyang Mansion of the Gaitian Army, surnamed Deng, and named Fei." For my red eyes, everyone in the rivers and lakes is called a fire-eyed man. I can't make an iron chain, and no one can come near me. ”

Sanniang said happily: "It turned out to be you, I have also heard of your name, it is really a blessing to see you today." Who is the other brother? When Deng Fei heard this, his heart was full of joy, so he pointed to the next big man and said: "I didn't expect that the lowly officials also know that my brother, surnamed Meng, named Kang, and Zuguan is a native of Zhendingzhou, and he is good at building large and small ships. The reason was to escort Hua Shigang to build a big ship, and he blamed the official for urging and punishing him, killing the official for a while, abandoning his home and fleeing to live in the green forests on the rivers and lakes, which has been a long time. Because he grew up white and clean, everyone saw that he was a good **, and gave him a nickname, calling him to be the jade banner rod Meng Kang. ”

Sanniang said that she was overjoyed in her heart, and secretly thought that in the future, when there was a naval army, the warship would be worry-free. Look at how Meng Kang looked, there are poems as evidence: he can climb a strong crossbow and rush to the front of the battle, and be good at building a ship to cross the river. Zhenzhou Miaoshou Lou boatsmith, the white jade banner rod is Meng Kang.

At that time, Sanniang saw the two of them, and she was very happy, and while the three of them were talking, Sanniang asked, "How long have the two brothers been here?" Deng Fei said: "Don't hide it from the officials, it's been more than half a year." Only three days ago, I met an elder brother on the ground in this straight west, surnamed Pei, named Xuan, Zuguan is a native of Jingzhao Mansion, originally from the six cases of Confucius in this mansion, excellent knife and pen; He is loyal and intelligent, and he is unwilling, and everyone here calls him an iron-faced face. He will also wield a gun and a stick, dance a sword and a knife, and be wise and brave. In order to remove a member of the imperial court from the arrival of the greedy prefect, he was assassinated on the island of Salmon, passed by me, and was killed by us to send the public to save him, and gathered three or two hundred people. This Pei Xuanji made a good pair of swords, making him older, and now he is the main in the cottage. Please go to Xiaozhai with the officials and meet for a while. ”

Sanniang had the heart to accept the three and readily agreed, Deng Fei called the little minions to open the way in front of them, Sanniang led the horse and two on foot, and the back Zhuang Ke drove two cars to look at the cottage.

When he didn't travel much, he arrived at the village early, got off the horse, Pei Xuan had already been informed, and hurriedly went out of the village, and lowered the steps to pick up. When Hu Sanniang looked at Pei Xuan, she was really a good character, she was born white and fat, flat and stable, she was secretly happy in her heart, and she just wanted to say: "Since then, I have people under me who are severely punished." ”。 There are poems as evidence: when asking about things, the clever soul, the ghost crying at the pen. The heart is calm and selfless, and he calls Pei Xuan's iron face.

At that moment, Pei Xuan invited Hu Sanniang to the Juyi Hall, and Lin Niangzi's own servant woman in the village led her to the backyard to rest. After each of them spoke about the ceremony, he humbly let Hu Sanniang sit in front of him, followed by Pei Xuan, Deng Fei, Meng Kang, three good men, the guests and hosts treated each other, sat at the feast, and boasted and drank that day. The three are the number of the earth's evil stars, there is Hu Sanniang, who changed the life of the stars here, the season is coming, the natural righteousness gathers together, there are poems as evidence: Haojie has a reason for encountering letters, and the chain of hooks and locks is looking for each other. Han Ting will slaughter and fish, don't blame Liangshan for his wrong intentions.

At the moment, in the middle of everyone drinking, Hu Sanniang talked about Huazhou Shaohua Mountain and Shijiazhuang recruiting talents at the feast, getting acquainted with heroes from all over the world, treating people and things, being harmonious, fighting righteousness and squandering wealth, governing the township, the officials and soldiers did not dare to underestimate it, many benefits, just say the words to him three.

Pei Xuan replied: "Shaohua Mountain, Shijiazhuang deeds, the three of us are like thunder, the little brother village is a small number of people, but there are also more than 300 people, wealth also has more than ten cars, grain and forage are not counted, if the officials do not abandon the lowly, introduced to Huazhou Dazhai to join the family, willing to listen to the order to serve." What does it mean to know what it means? ”

Sanniang was overjoyed, and she wanted to just pry the three to form an alliance, but since the three of them were sincerely engaged, they said happily: "If Shaohua Mountain and Shijiazhuang get the help of the princes, it will be like icing on the cake." If you have this heart, you can pack your luggage, wait for me to go back to Jizhou Hujiazhuang, meet the parents, settle the family, come back here, then pretend to be a merchant together, go to Shaohua Mountain in the starry night. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, the wine was half drunk, and it was removed to the broken golden pavilion in the back mountain, and the scenery of drinking Machuan was eaten and drunk, and it was a good drink Machuan. Sanniang and the three-chip heroes ate wine, Sanniang drank heroically, and when the three-chip heroes were drunk, she was still very sober. Pei Xuan got up and danced the sword to help the wine, Sanniang was full of praise, and on a whim, she also went to dance with the double sword, but when she saw the two swords fluttering, everyone praised loudly. In the evening, they went back to the village to rest.

On the second day, Sanniang said goodbye to the three-level heroes, and still escorted Lin Niangzi to Hujiazhuang. After a few days, when the day was getting closer to the mountain, it was early to arrive in front of Hujiazhuang in the west of Dulonggang, and Sanniang ordered someone to go to pass the word. Lin Niangzi and Jin'er looked at this Hujiazhuang and also admired it, only to see that this Hujiazhuang occupied the west side of this Dulong Mountain, and the mountains and forests were overturned. The village was built on the hill on the west side, and there were two layers of walls, all of which were made of stubborn stones, about two feet 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.

Sanniang pointed to Zhuang Shang and said: "My family was arranged like this a hundred years ago, here the Song and Liao armies have been fighting each other all the year round, and there are often cross-border Liao troops to fight the grass valley, and when each village has no choice, they will build stone walls, gather Zhuangke villages, and drill military preparations to prevent Liao people." Lin Niangzi sighed: "I don't want to be on the border, but it's like this." ”

Sanniang said: "However, since the alliance with the Liao people Tanyuan, the Liao people have been behaving for a long time, and in the following decades, they have been guarding against more strongmen everywhere, and at the junction of the two countries, there are many thieves, and every village is so self-protecting." ”

While speaking, I saw the opening of the village gate, and more than ten horses were embraced, and when I rode a horse like a red charcoal, it was the eldest son of Hujiazhuang, the eldest brother of Sanniang, and the flying tiger. I saw him wrapped in a red scarf, wearing a parrot green silk robe, a jade green silk silk around his waist, and a pair of eagle claw leather yellow boots.

Sanniang said with a smile: "Senior sister-in-law, this is my brother, who called the Flying Tiger." Seeing this, Mrs. Lin hurriedly pulled down the carriage curtain and said, "It's inconvenient to see you first." Sanniang smiled: "My brother has already gotten married, and I will lead my sister-in-law to meet my sister-in-law in the house later." ”

At that moment, Hu Sanniang urged the horse, first greeted it, and when the two in front of him restrained the horses, Hu Cheng looked at Sanniang and said: "You are back again, you tell your brother, the righteous soldier of the Western Army who is spreading all the rage is you?" ”

Sanniang pouted and said: "Brother, I haven't seen you for two years, and I will teach people a lesson as soon as we meet!" What am I doing? Hu Cheng shook his head and said, "What else?" The whole body spoiled you, and the old father remembers you every day in the church, and you go to see you. ”

Sanniang said: "Brother, it's my sister-in-law in the back car, I want to come to the village to stay for a few years, don't be lazy." Hu Cheng said: "I have called your sister-in-law to wait in the village, and your sister-in-law will settle down after entering the village." At that moment, the two of them came to the village with a dry cart and horses.
