Lu Caiting made a gesture of invitation to Ji Xiaolou; "Master Ji Shaozhai, please go back to the mountain! Say hello to a few village owners on my behalf. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Ji Xiaolou looked at the ruthless appearance of a group of people under him, but he had no intention of leaving, he looked up at the sky, and said gloomily; "Brother went out with the gold owner, but returned empty-handed, this does not damage the reputation of my Leopard Leijian Cottage, brother can't afford to lose this face?"

Shen Shenjun was a little annoyed and asked him sharply; "What does the young village master mean?"

Ji Xiaolou's nostrils 'snorted', lowered his head and looked at Lu Caiting and said, "Didn't the second young master keep shouting that he wanted to visit the mountain?" If you really have the ability, go up the mountain with your brothers, explain it to the owners of our cottage, and give an explanation, otherwise this beam will be settled, and the brothers will definitely return it. ”

Qi Lianhu rushed forward and pointed his finger at Ji Xiaolou angrily; "You kid, don't be embarrassed, do you think you can't be a leopard thunder stream cottage? The master started a fire and stepped on your cottage as well. ”

Ah Hun was also puffing out next to him; "They all say that we are muddy, and there are even more muddy than us, deputy captain, just tie them up and escort them back to the camp, starve this kid for a few days, see if he is still hard-mouthed?"

Wen Leopard also agitated beside him; "They are our captives, take them back, and naturally some people from their cottage will come to beg us to release them, whether they will be released or not, it depends on whether the master is happy or not."

Chi Lingchong didn't speak beside him, but with an angry face, he was looking at what Lu Caiting meant.

Ji Xiaolou didn't care what these people said, and he looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

Lu Caiting pondered for a moment, and then said to Ji Xiaolou; "In this case, you go back first and tell the owner of the village, and I will come to visit the cottage later."

Ji Xiaolou sneered; "Why is the second young master so untruthful? Let's go up the mountain with my brother. ”

Lu Caiting looked at him playing lazy, and was a little angry, but he still couldn't help it and explained; "I said you, a little chicken belly, Leopard Leijian Cottage is a big cottage in the Mengmeng area after all, did I come here empty-handed? I'll also need to prepare a little bit of a greeting gift to show my appreciation. ”

Ji Xiaolou heard that he was reasonable, so he hugged his fists and said goodbye; "Okay, brother will take the first step and wait for you as a distinguished guest in the village." With that, he took his minions with him, picked up his guns, and returned to the mountain in a gloomy manner.

Looking at the backs of these bandits leaving, Lu Caiting said to Zhu Pengsheng; "Uncle Zhu, prepare a pig and four jars of wine immediately, and I'll go up the mountain to visit the cottage."

Zhu Pengsheng said disdainfully; "Deputy captain, these bandits are stubborn and have a bad heart, you demolished their financial routes today, and some of them are afraid that they will be more than lucky when they go to the mountains? I think it's better to go another day, let's gather our troops around their mountains, so it's safer. ”

Lu Caiting shook his head and said; "No need, if that will cause the bandits to be suspicious, let's go, let's go back and prepare gifts."

Zhu Pengsheng still asked uneasily; "Otherwise, I will take the people from the water camp and follow after you, and if anything happens, I will have a good response."

Lu Caiting smiled and seemed to reply confidently; "It's not proper, if we go tonight, we may not be able to say that the bandits will cooperate with us to fight against Japan, but at least we can ensure that the bandits will not come to Woma Beach and Horseshoe Bay for a while, and when the time comes, we will be relieved and we will not be afraid of them when we have our hands free, and our etiquette has also been achieved, salute first and then soldiers, and it is reasonable to eliminate them at that time."

Everyone rushed back to the market town of Womatan, and Zhu Pengsheng sent his nephew back to his house, comforted his family a few words, and immediately ordered a pig and four jars of wine to be prepared.

Lu Caiting also ordered the people of the special combat team to carry four jars of wine and a pig, bid farewell to Zhu Pengsheng and the people of the water military camp, and went to the leopard thunder stream overnight.

Chi Lingchong, who is familiar with the Mengmeng Mountain, still leads the team, and everyone climbs the Scorpion Ridge, the Scorpion Ridge is steep and pulls Cui Wei, the canine teeth are scattered, the dense forest is thick, the mountains and trees are treacherous, if there is no one to lead the way, it is easy to get lost in the mountains and forests.

Just crossed the scorpion ridge, only into the python ditch, I saw that there were bandits on the cliff to lead the way, the bandits were also shocked by the prestige of Qinglongtang and the second young master, so they avoided the blindfolded rule, this python ditch is completely different, the ravine is vertical and horizontal, the forks are dense, the wrong trace is meandering, the fog is filled, the ghost is dense, fortunately, the stars and the moon are clear, the path can be argued, and there are bandits leading the way, everyone passes out of the python ditch, and then board the leopard thunder stream, just climb over the leopard thunder stream, you can hear a huge roar endlessly, almost make people unable to hear each other's voices, From a distance, it is another peculiar scene, a huge waterfall on the cliff falls, crashes on the rock, and makes a huge roaring sound, from which the leopard thunder stream is named.

In front of the Leopard Thunder Stream cottage, there is a horizontal plaque with the words 'Juyi Hall' on the door, the door of the village is open, all the bandits and horses gather, there are bonfires burning all around, the outer walls of the cottage can be clearly seen in the firelight, they are all fences made of huge round wood, digging a shallow ditch, with thistle thorns and antlers, and then in the distance, it can be vaguely argued that there are hidden castles to form a cross fire network.

The bandits knew that it was the second young master of Qinglong Hall who came to visit the cottage, and the people in the rivers and lakes called it 'Little Qinglong', which was a person they admired, they didn't care about the independent column of the New Fourth Army, and saw that the visitors brought them gifts of pigs and wine, and there was no shortage of gifts, and they saw the second young master of 'Little Qinglong' and the people he brought were all handsome and mighty, heroic, the bandits were a little excited, and they let out a roar, and immediately stood in two rows of people on the left and right, until they reached the door of the innermost cottage hall, and the passage in the middle was reserved for guests.

Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun walked into the passage lined up by the bandits, and the others stayed outside, and the two raised their heads and walked inside calmly.

The bandits shouted again, and crossed their spears or broadswords in the air to form a sword and gun array, which was also a kind of demonstration ceremony for the bandits.

Lu Caiting and Shen Shenjun also turned a blind eye, their faces did not change, they walked inside calmly, and when they arrived at the gate of the cottage, Ji Xiaolou greeted the guests in front of the gate, made a gesture to invite in, and then stood sideways.

The two stepped into the hall, only to see the spacious depth of the hall, it was originally built according to the mountain wall excavation, there are braziers on both sides of the ground, there are iron chain copper lamp plates hanging on the top, the fire is blazing bright, there is a thick long table on the left, about twenty or thirty people can eat, and then inside, three on the left, four thick seats on the right, covered with leopard skin, sitting seven fierce and fierce men, and then two thick seats on the platform on a step above the ground, paved with tiger skin, but the seat on the right is smaller.

Lu Caiting glanced at Shen Shenjun, indicating that the seven seats under his steps and the people on the seats on the steps were the eight masters of Leopard Leijian Cottage.

The person on the huge tiger skin seat on the steps has a burly body, a pale golden striped side plate, thick eyebrows flying, eyes deep in the sockets, the pupils are especially red, the eagle is cold, the lips are broad, the lion's mouth is broad, the sideburns are crossed, the beard is crossed, a yellow-brown silk shirt, the appearance is hideous, needless to say, this person must be the master of the big village. Fire Lion' Ji Xiaotian, next to the smaller tiger skin seat is a woman, long hair on the top of her head, silver-white pearl earrings, her face is pale, and her lips are painted blood red.

Lu Caiting clasped his fists and saluted left and right; "Lu Caiting, deputy captain of the anti-Japanese independent column of Weimeng Mountain, has visited the eight village masters!"

Shen Shenjun also clasped his fists and saluted; "Shen Shenjun, the captain of the special combat team of the independent column, has visited the eight village masters!"

Ji Xiaolou stepped forward and said to Lu Caiting; "We know what kind of independent column you are of the New Fourth Army, but you are also a person in the rivers and lakes, so you should call yourself a person in the rivers and lakes here and talk about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, otherwise you will not be allowed to talk about other things."

Lu Caiting smiled bitterly, and reluctantly clasped his fists again and saluted again; "Qinglong Hall's 'Little Green Dragon' has worshiped the Eight Great Village Masters!"

Shen Shenjun had no choice but to clench his fists again and salute again; "HB Cangzhou Longmen Shen Shenjun has worshiped the eight masters!"

On the leopard skin seat on the right stood a young man, with a thin waist and arms, with a fierce expression, and returned the salute with a fist to Lu Caiting; "The second young master's name, he is famous for Suxi Xianmeng, and he has admired him for a long time!" After saying that, the fists in his hands were raised high, and then he said with a cut in the rivers and lakes; "The Giant Stone Shines on the Mountain Demon—"

Lu Caiting also raised his fists and said; "Pagoda Towering Town Water Monster!"

On the leopard skin seat on the right stood a young man with a pale and pale face, who also raised his fists and spoke again in the words of the rivers and lakes; "There was a thunderclap in front of the South Heavenly Gate—"

Lu Caiting replied again; "100,000 Heavenly Soldiers Descend to the Clouds!"

The other bandit leaders also stood up one after another, and they all said in the rivers and lakes; "Nezha acts as a pioneer-" "Shake the fire-tipped spear, shake off the demon rope, and step on the Hot Wheels!" ”

"The King of Heaven opens the umbrella-" "The demons of the four directions are in it!" ”

"The king of heaven plucks the strings of the lute—" "The eight-sided ghost is frightened! ”

"Turning over the clouds and rain, taking the clouds-" "Crash into the heaven and earth!" ”

"The leopard lies on the peaks and streams, and the rolling thunder splashes and shocks the mountains-" "The heroes on the banks of the Yuma River, the heroes gather in the green forest!" ”

Lu Caiting agreed to the cutting words of the bandit leaders in one breath, and kept moving his body to come to Ji Xiaotian, the master of Dazhai, and bowed with his fists; "The roaring rivers and lakes are shaking the clouds and the sky, and the king of all beasts dominates the group! Ji Dazhai main hero of the world, righteous thin clouds, is known as the first righteous bandit in Mengmeng, if the name of the person, the shock of Suxi, Lu someone has long admired and thirsty, today to be able to look at the prestige of the village master, it is really a blessing for three lives. ”

This Ji Xiaotian is known as the first bandit in Mengmeng, that is, he is violent and murderous by nature, and people demean him, he and his subordinates are taboo to this title, but Lu Caiting skillfully used a word to compliment him, which made him sound like a fish in his throat, but he couldn't have a seizure.

Sitting on the wide tiger skin seat on the steps is naturally the head of the eight major village owners of Leopard Leijian Cottage, Ji Xiaotian, the owner of the big village, because of his pale yellow complexion, reddish eyes, and hot personality, so the people on the rivers and lakes are called' 'The fiery lion', he looked at the young man in front of him, and saw that he was in front of his murderous and unblinking subordinates, dealing with it calmly, articulate, neither humble nor arrogant, and he liked it a little in his heart, he had heard a little about what this young man did, but he didn't think so, but the young man's master, the Yunhe real person of the Yanyu Temple, he had to be in awe, he stood up, arched his fist and saluted back, "I heard that the master of the Qinglong Hall has a brother, both civil and military, unruly, and he is not inferior to his brother today, Qinglongtang also has a little affection with us, how is Brother Ling lately? ”

"Thanks to the concern of the owner of Dazhai, although my brother is now closed at home and does not have much business, he is open-minded by nature and can be quite open-minded." Lu Caiting replied.

Ji Xiaotian smiled faintly and nodded; "Brother Ling is a person who does big things, of course, he is broad-minded, and he will not be confused by the fact that he is stumped by RB people in front of him." He actually has some dealings with Qinglongtang, before the RB people came, he occupied the leopard thunder stream at that time, and there were not so many people and horses now, robbing the past caravans under the mountain, or neighboring villages, and it was not as rampant and ferocious as it is now, Qinglongtang sometimes sent people to send some gifts to the cottage, and he did not rob the past chariots and horses of Qinglongtang, one is that people send some money and gifts after all, and the number of courtesies is done, and the other is that Qinglongtang is Suxi Mengtang's gang, and the people in the gang are all strong in martial arts, and they have weapons, if they turn against them, It would be troublesome for them to help the government army to conquer the mountains, and he had not met Lu Caibin, the master of the Qinglong Hall, but the Qinglong Hall often sent people, and it was considered a relationship, and he should greet his brother at this time, but he just didn't want to mention the old Taoist of Yunhe Zhenren.

Lu Caiting saluted the woman sitting on the tiger skin seat beside him; "This should be the wife of the owner of the village, good madam! The heroines on the green forest road of Weizhen Suxi are sassy and heroic, charming and colorful, and Lu is full of eyes and wishes. ”

That woman is Ji Xiaotian's wife You Zhaohua, known as the 'Rouge Tiger' in the rivers and lakes, and is also an outstanding kung fu, since she was a teenager, she followed her husband to roam the rivers and lakes together, and finally fell into the grass in the green forests, and earned reputation in the rivers and lakes and green forests, You Zhaohua also likes the handsome young man in front of her, she looks delicate, and she speaks well, she stands up, and slowly clenches her fists in return; ”

Ji Xiaotian smiled all over his face and said happily; "A hero is a young man, this is not false at all, Ji someone has learned today, and the second young master can be regarded as a distinguished guest in my cottage," he said, pointing to the first bandit leader with a thin face and bright eyes on the seat on the right under the steps; "I am Chao Han, the second owner of the Eight Great Villages of Leopard Leijian, and the people on the rivers and lakes call him 'Sky Patrol Eagle'." After the introduction, he pointed to the second bandit leader with a round head and a big face, fish bubble eyes, and small eyes; "The master of Sanzhai is Lian Baitong, and the people of the rivers and lakes call 'the harrier who turns the sky upside down.' He pointed to the third big man, the stout and reckless bandit leader; Li Kui, the master of the four villages, and the people of the rivers and lakes call the 'giant python'. ”

After introducing the three bandit leaders on the left, and the four bandit leaders on the right, the five village owners are bald, there are two centipede-like scars on the face, the ferociousness is revealed, called Ao Zhuang Jiu, the people in the rivers and lakes are called 'Wild Flying Dragon', the six village owners have a small round head, eight-character eyebrows, hanging eyes, cunning and treacherous, called Mo Shunwu, the people in the rivers and lakes are called 'pangolins', the owners of the seven villages have long hair, their faces are gray and blue, they are crying and mourning, their eyes are gloomy, gloomy and capable, they are called An Yunqiao, and the people of the rivers and lakes are called ' Howling the sky is ruthless', Bazhai motherboard chestnut inch head, ring-eyed Ruoling, thin waist and arms, vigorous and fierce, called Liang Leopard, Jianghu people called 'Hissing Wind Leopard'.

After introducing his bandit leader, Ji Xiaotian was a little proud, and he commanded the bandit minions at the door of the hall with a grin; "Little ones, set up a banquet and wash the dust for the guests!"

Immediately there were minions shouting at the door and running to the kitchen.
