Zhu Pengsheng, Zhu Meng warmly stepped forward, placed a few people on another table, Zhu Biao was busy pouring water and wine for a few people, Zhu Pengsheng brought a wine bowl from his own table, and saluted a few people; "All the heroes of the green forest, with their enthusiasm to fight against the little Japanese devils, grow the majesty of our people, make people sincerely respect and admire, Zhu is old and dizzy, stupid, snub all patriotic warriors, Zhu is ashamed, I hope you heroes have a lot of Haihan, Zhu makes amends, and do it first for respect!" After speaking, he drank the wine in the bowl in one go. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Several cottagers also stood up and raised their wine bowls in return; "Master Zhu said there, it is our honor to be able to look down on those of us who have fallen into the grass." After speaking, several people also swallowed the booze and drank the wine in the bowl.

Zhu Meng also picked up the wine bowl and saluted a few people; "I'm sorry, in Xia Zhu, I admire the courage of all the heroes, drink this bowl of wine, all the unpleasantness passes by the wind, you heroes are my friends in Zhu's life, and the Zhu family compound in Horseshoe Bay is open to all friends at any time."

Seeing that Zhu Meng's words were concise, they were honest and upright, and several people were also busy filling up the wine, holding the wine bowl and colliding with Zhu Meng, the wine splashed, and he was happy; "Since we're friends, it's all in the wine." Then, the wine fell into the bowl and dried.

Zhu Meng asked a few people to sit down and spoke; "Let's eat some food first, and then drink it later."

A few cottage men and girls were no longer restrained, and they tore up chickens, sheep and goose meat in large gulps, gobbling them up, maybe they were very hungry in these two days of captivity, in fact, Zhu Pengsheng, Zhu Meng's uncle and nephew also changed their concepts in the face of Lu Caiting, if they looked down on them, and even hated bandits.

After a few people ate and drank for a while, Lu Caiting came over with a wine bowl and raised the bowl to salute a few people; "Heroes, Lu Caiting, the little green dragon of Qinglong Hall in Shuangji Town, toasts everyone!"

Several people were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and saluted with bowls; "We have long heard of the name of the second young master of Qinglong Hall, and today we can witness the honorable face, fortunately, fortunately!"

Lu Caiting smiled, looked at the big man and the girl, and continued; "If I'm not mistaken, this hero should be the famous 'mammoth giant elephant' Cao Jiu and his sister Cao Shimei."

The big man and the girl were amazed and asked; "Do you know my brother and sister?"

Lu Caiting shook his head and explained; "I don't know, it was your eldest brother Pang Si Python who told me, that night you attacked the devil's grain convoy, was besieged by the devil's support force, after the dispersal, your eldest brother was in danger, and was rescued by me in danger, and now your eldest brother and several other people have joined our New Fourth Army Weimeng Mountain Anti-Japanese Independent Column, I was ordered by your eldest brother to come to pick you up, I don't know if a few are willing to join our New Fourth Army and fight devils together?"

The big man Cao Jiu immediately responded generously; "Of course I am willing, there is nothing wrong with what my eldest brother has identified, and besides, you are my eldest brother's life-saving benefactor, from now on, we will follow you and my eldest brother to fight the fire, and we will never give up!"

"Okay," Lu Caiting also held up the wine bowl and said categorically; "Drink this bowl of wine, and from now on we will be brothers in life and death in the same anti-Japanese camp!"

Several wine bowls collided heavily, the sound was loud, and everyone drank vigorously.

Lu Caiting put down the wine bowl, stretched out his hand to wipe the water and wine at the corner of his mouth, and said to Cao Jiu; "Everyone, enjoy it slowly, and we'll go back to Jiangjun Ao and Dongqiao Village together later."

After Lu Caiting returned to his table, Zhu Biao sat down to entertain Cao Jiu and the others on behalf of the host.

Zhu Pengsheng picked up the wine bowl and saluted Lu Caiting; "The virtuous nephew's magic skills are world-famous, when he is a generation of heroes in today's troubled times, the old man said before, this more than 100 catties should be handed over to a person who knows the goods, and now when you meet a master like a virtuous nephew, you have nothing to say, obey the dispatch of the virtuous nephew."

Lu Caiting was moved and smiled, and also picked up the wine bowl and saluted; "It's rare that Uncle Zhu understands the righteousness so well, and the younger generation is very grateful for the support of our New Fourth Army."

After the two of them finished drinking, Zhu Pengsheng said again; "The old man is old and can no longer gallop on the battlefield, so my nephew Mengzi and my second girl will organize some people to bring guns to serve under your tent, the old man's eldest girl is naturally doting on water, and she can't leave the Yuma River, so the old man has to guard her."

When Zhu Meng saw that his uncle agreed to him to participate in the New Fourth Army to fight devils, he was immediately overjoyed, picked up the wine bowl and saluted Lu Caiting; "It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to know your Brother Lu, in the future, if you point to the east, I Zhu will fight to the east, and if you point to the west, I Zhu will fight to the west, and I will tell the devils to turn over on their backs, and there will be no armor left."

Zhu Ke also picked up the wine bowl and drank it with them, put down the wine bowl, and clapped his hands and praised; "Okay, Brother Mengzi, this is called pulling out the mountain and covering the world, you and my brother and sister join forces, looking at the Mengmeng area, my Zhu Jiajun is prancing on the horse with a horizontal sword, and it is called the devil and traitor to pee, and there is no return."

Zhu Ran, who had been silent, suddenly spoke at this time; "There is also a fleet of devils transported to the Yangtze River port on the Yuma River, they have patrol gunboats to escort, and the river is unscrupulous, your New Fourth Army can set up a water barracks on the Yuma River and Fenglingdang, destroy the devil's transport fleet, and paralyze the devil's water traffic, if the New Fourth Army agrees, my father and I are willing to set up a water barracks."

The words of this delicate and quiet woman were faint, and immediately shook everyone in the room, and everyone looked at her with wide eyes.

"No, no," Zhu Pengsheng shouted anxiously beside him; "That devil's patrol gunboat has a heavy steel deck, which can't be pierced by bullets, and is also equipped with cannons and machine guns, and our ships are all small wooden sampans, how to compete with them? Isn't it to take an egg and hit it on a stone? ”

Zhu Ran smiled lightly, and unhurriedly picked up the wine bowl and saluted everyone; "Brothers and fathers, don't be surprised, since the devil has a heavy steel deck boat, we also have a barrage net, this girl can ask the devil's patrol gunboat to spin in circles on the river, and you can't move forward half a step, if this girl's water camp is trained, as long as the devils get out of the water, then they will never get up."

After everyone at the table finished drinking, Lu Caiting poured himself full of wine in the empty bowl, raised it again and drank it alone, and then said slowly; "Speaking loudly, there must be extensive learning, the girl's words are bold and knowledgeable, so that Lu sounds enthusiastic, Miss Zhu is worthy of today's Liang Hongyu and Mu Guiying, Lu Mou in order to show sincerity, after drinking this bowl of wine, one is to show respect and respect for Miss Zhu, and the other is that I immediately asked my superiors, and at the same time, on behalf of the independent column, I agreed with you to set up a water barracks, and appointed you and your father as the commanders of the water barracks."

Zhu Pengsheng stroked his beard, and also drank a bowl of wine by himself, and said with emotion; "It seems that the old man, this old bone, can't be quiet in his old age......" There was a little anxiety and helplessness in his words.

Seeing his father's appearance, Zhu Ran was relieved; "My master taught me a unique skill, just when the country was ruined and the family was ravaged by foreign invaders, how could my daughter sit idly by, my father was chivalrous and righteous all his life, and he was above board, so let your daughter be the slave of the country who cowered?"

Zhu Ke also took the opportunity to instigate; "My sister has always been cautious and cautious, never saying much, she said this at this time, and she also had a certain degree of certainty, that is, it would not work, and it would be better to fight with that little devil than to be a slave to the country."

"Let's go, let's go, let's go," Zhu Pengsheng instantly rejuvenated himself and said loudly; "It seems that this is not only an autumn of troubled times, but also an era when young heroes are born.

Zhu Ran and Zhu Ke responded at the same time; "Daddy, this is our daddy!"

Zhu Pengsheng poured a bowl of wine for Lu Caiting and himself, and said slowly; "My eldest daughter has made me worry about being a father for a lifetime, and now it seems that she is also not a thing in the pool, you don't know, my daughter got an illness when she was three or four years old, and she had a high fever that did not go away, and her whole body was burned red, and the invited Lang Zhong was helpless, seeing that her daughter was about to die, fortunately I met a passing Yunyou nun Shi Tai, Shi Tai gave my daughter a silver needle all over her body, and then used true qi to penetrate the acupuncture points of Lao Gong, and then soaked my daughter in a wooden basin with water, so repeatedly tossed for two days, and my daughter was rescued and recovered, But since then with the water indissoluble bond, the nun said that she was too vigorous in her life, and she could only be accompanied by water in her life, so she accepted her as an apprentice, or three months, half a year, or two years, three years to teach her kung fu, this girl has been in the water like a fish in water, and won the title of 'Langli Hibiscus' on the bank of the Yuma River, famous far and wide, but her water kung fu is so profound, the old man doesn't know, and he hasn't seen Mrs. Shi come in recent years......"

Zhu Ran sighed faintly and interjected; "The master is a master outside the square, and he has already read through the mundane world, maybe he passed away in a quiet cave, or under the Bodhi tree......"

A generation of worldly masters quietly passed away, and everyone couldn't help but be in awe after hearing it.

After a short silence in the room, Zhu Pengsheng picked up the wine bowl and bumped into Lu Caiting; "Virtuous nephew, your arrival not only rejuvenated the old man's childlike heart, but also affected the feelings of my two daughters and my nephew, it seems that the Zhu family and you are really too fateful, let's arrange to come to Jiangjun Ao in a few days, Dongqiao Village to find you, Mengzi and Ke'er will not come back, I and Ran'er will officially accept your appointment."

Lu Caiting couldn't be happier in his heart, the trip to Horseshoe Bay was too rewarding, he seemed to think of something, but he didn't say it, he and Zhu Pengsheng finished drinking, and raised their bowls again and again to respect Zhu Meng and the Zhu sisters.

Seeing this, Lu Xiaohu also hurriedly raised the bowl to respect the Zhu family one by one.

Everyone drank for a while, and also left the table to drink with Cao Jiu and others, the big altar of wine hanging spring poured, the sound of the bowl, the wine bowl sparkling floating, hearty, the atmosphere was extremely strong.

Lu Caiting saw that the time was not early, it was already half of the afternoon, so he hugged his fists and said goodbye to the Zhu family, and the two sides agreed to meet in Jiangjunao and Dongqiao Village in a few days. "Your uncle and nephew don't send each other anymore, maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I will pass by you by the road, and I will send someone to inform you then."

Zhu Pengsheng, Zhu Meng saw Lu Caiting say this, it was not good to send each other again, everyone waved and said goodbye.

Lu Caiting, Lu Xiaohu took Cao Jiu, Cao Shimei and his party back to Jiangjunao, when the sun had just set, the people of Dongqiao Village were preparing dinner, and everyone greeted him when they saw the deputy captain coming back.

Lu Caiting handed over Cao Jiu, Cao Shimei and others to Pang Siboa, and Pang Siboa was even more grateful.

Dinner was prepared, more than 30 tables were set up, some villagers participated, the formation of the column was basically completed, and the battalions were summarized and eaten in a step-by-step manner, in an orderly manner, Lu Caiting went to Lin Zhifeng, Zhao Sihai, Duan Xingguo, Ning Chenlong, Qin Dapa, Bi Xingzhou, and Li Manjiang had already returned to the Fenglingdang detachment.

Everyone sat down, Niu Shuigen poured a bowl of wine for everyone, Lu Caiting stood up with the wine bowl and saluted everyone; "Congratulations on the establishment of our anti-Japanese independent column in Weimeng Mountain, from now on, we will all be in the same boat through thick and thin, share life and death, and work together to defend our homeland and drive the little Japanese invaders out of China!"

Everyone raised a bowl and drank together, Lin Zhifeng waited for Lu Caiting to sit down, and asked with concern; "How about the trip to Horseshoe Bend, did they release people?"

Lu Caiting slapped the table with joy and replied excitedly; "Not only did they release the people, but they also promised to prepare to bring more than 100 people with weapons to join our column in a few days, and they also set up a water battalion for us to attack and obstruct the water transportation lines of the devils on the Yuma River and in the area of Fenglingdang."

This is undoubtedly good news, it can be described as the icing on the cake, Lin Zhifeng was busy asking for details, and Lu Caiting told the story of what happened in Horseshoe Bay, and everyone listened happily and toasted each other frequently.

After drinking for a while, Lin Zhifeng suddenly spoke; "Dongqiao Village suddenly increased so many people, accommodation became difficult, I accepted Pang Si Python's suggestion, only set up the headquarters in the village, the rest of the brigade stationed in their original station Jiuqu Cave, he said that the hole is deep and long-term, very wide, can accommodate tens of millions of people, and there is a way out in the hole, leading to the back mountain, there is also a way out, it is considered to be a way out, the bad place is that the back mountain is connected to the Tiger Roaring Peak, there is a Tiger Roaring Peak cottage on the peak, there are more than 100 bandits stationed, elite soldiers and strong generals, I am afraid that these bandits will see that we are many and powerful, If you want to occupy their territory and come down from the back mountain to attack us, what do you think, Deputy Captain Lu? ”

After Lu Caiting heard this, his sword eyebrows frowned, and he thought for a while before he said; "I heard that the people and horses of the Tiger Roaring Peak cottage only rob things and do not hurt people, and they also help the poor people from time to time, specializing in fighting small groups of sporadic devils and traitors, they are considered righteous bandits, they are not many, even some ideas do not dare to do it to us easily, after a while I want to personally go up the mountain to visit them, to explore their details, if there is danger to us, to eliminate them."

Zhao Sihai said worriedly; "I'm afraid it's not so easy to eliminate them, after all, we are a team that has just been established, the soldiers lack training, the weapons and equipment are poor, you see the devil's mountain artillery, the machine gun weapons are so good, and it doesn't take any convenience to go up the mountain to conquer and suppress."

Lu Caiting smiled and did not answer.

Lin Zhifeng decisively decided; "Deputy Captain Lu's words are reasonable, so he decided to move into Jiuqu Cave and mobilize everyone to cut down trees and build barracks tomorrow."

Lu Caiting also remembered something, and said to Lin Zhifeng; "Political commissar, there is one more thing, I once promised my senior brother that I would go to the **** new Sixth Division for them to eliminate the snipers on the position of the Japanese Yokohama Brigade who confronted them, and I can't delay any longer, I will choose a few people tomorrow, and you will go to the new Sixth Division together, take this opportunity to contact them, have a good relationship, and win them, which will be beneficial to our column and Commander Xiao's detachment, but I am worried about your injury......"

"Okay," Lin Zhifeng nodded in agreement, Suo Xing took off the bandage, and said with a smile; "My injury is recovering well, as long as I don't do strenuous exercise, there is no major problem, you arrange, tomorrow early in the morning." She is temperamental, bold and crisp.

Lu Caiting continued; "I also plan to select a few people from the students to go to the new Sixth Division together, and stay with them to learn the technology of sending and receiving telegrams, and one day we will have a radio station."

Lin Zhifeng smiled approvingly; "Vision, vision."

Zhao Sihai also picked up the wine bowl and saluted Lu Caiting; "According to what the deputy captain said, it won't be long before our team will become a regular army.

The other people were also encouraged by these words, and Fang Buddha saw the hope of tomorrow, and everyone raised their bowls to Lu Caiting.
