Chapter Eighty-Six: A Visit to Tiger Roaring Peak

Mr. Teaching is a weak cloth cloth, and the words he said have the meaning that people have to conform, Zhen Lingshan vaguely feels that the fortune teller is a little familiar, Fang Buddha has seen it there, and he can't remember it for a while, and the fortune teller and the young man next to Mr. Jiao are very similar to the three eagles in the suburbs outside the city that night, and the person who killed the bronze sculpture should be the people of Qinglongtang in Shuangji Town, but then he thought that it should not be them, and they didn't dare to come to the military camp of the Imperial Association Army in broad daylight to find themselves. His brows were furrowed, and although he was up and down in his heart, he still waved his hand and said generously; "Okay, let's go to the market town in front and find a restaurant to sit in. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After saying that, he led the way and walked straight to the market town.

They squeezed into the crowded crowd and found a decent restaurant, the shopkeeper knew Zhen Lingshan, and saw the battalion chief bring the guests, and he was busy leading the guests to the private room on the second floor to make tea for everyone.

The shopkeeper holds a wooden plate, serves cold dishes first, and then comes up with hot dishes, serves dishes for the guests, pours wine, and the shopkeeper consciously brings it to the door and retreats out of the private room.

The wine and food were ready, the fortune teller took off his sunglasses and put them on the table, he picked up the wine glass and saluted Zhen Lingshan Road; "Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, borrow the battalion commander's wine to toast the battalion commander!"

Zhen Lingshan recognized that the fortune teller was coming, isn't this the second young master of the little Qinglong Hall in Shuangji Town, who had fought with him for the matter of the Wind and Thunder Gate in the Xiaoyuxuan Restaurant in the county seat, and he was also the tall foot of the Yanyu Guanyunhe real person, he really admired this kid's kung fu in his heart, the combination of rigidity and softness, the needle was hidden in the cotton, and the kung fu had reached the peak, and that night, he came out for the swallow gate, and a nine-section whip 'Jiaolong' danced so superbly, even the grandmaster of the giant devil demon on the Jiangnan martial arts road died in him' Jiaolong's whip, that was the most fierce and exciting fight he had witnessed since his debut, and he also knew that his eldest brother Yin Kun, the master of the Flying Eagle Hall in Yuxi County, and the head of the security regiment of the Imperial Cooperative Army, who had he been afraid of in the Mengmeng region except for the Japanese? But he was also a little jealous of this kid, and he raised his glass to salute the other party; "Second Young Master, please! In fact, if you want to meet someone Zhen as the second young master, you only need to report your name, so why pretend to be a ghost? ”

This fortune teller and teacher are naturally dressed up by Lu Caiting and Ning Chenlong, and the other young man is Lu Caiting's personal guard Lu Xiaohu, Lu Caiting did not answer, just drank the wine in the cup, and then put the wine glass on the table.

Lu Xiaohu didn't disguise himself, Zhen Lingshan naturally felt familiar, in fact, that night in the suburbs outside the city and the ghost gate, when Lu Xiaohu killed the bronze sculpture, one action was too fast, and it was night, although there was a torch light, but their fighting movements were fast and fast, flickering and dark, and the second Zhen Lingshan and everyone's eyes were attracted by Lu Caiting's nine-section whip 'Jiaolong' and Wei Chentu's soft rope python dart 'python', so the first time you saw Lu Xiaohu, you felt familiar, but I was not sure.

Mr. Ning Chenlong, the teacher, raised his wine glass and saluted Zhen Ling Mountain Road; "Our brother Lu didn't tell lies, nor did he pretend to be ghosts, we were indeed entrusted by the deceased to meet the third battalion commander."

Seeing this, Lu Xiaohu hurriedly filled Zhen Lingshan's empty wine glass with wine, Zhen Lingshan picked up the wine glass again and asked; "In that case, please tell me which deceased person entrusted me? Zhen is also grateful. ”

Ning Chenlong took out a string of rosewood Buddhist beads from his arms and put them on the table, then gently pushed them over, and drank the wine in the cup while raising his neck.

Zhen Lingshan picked up the Buddha beads and looked at them, and recognized that they were worn by the master on his wrist, his face turned pale, and his expression was soothed, gentle and authentic; "It turns out that you are friends with the tutor, and Zhen is slow." He also picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in the glass in one go, then picked up the wine jug to fill the wine in the glass for the guests and himself, and said to the three guests again; "Come, Zhen someone toasts the wine of the three, and please Haihan if you are slow, I don't know if the family teacher is good lately?"

Lu Caiting also picked up his wine glass and replied with a smile; "The abbot of Lingshi Zhishan is in good spirits and in good health, but he is often worried about the future of the third battalion commander?"

Zhen Lingshan couldn't help asking; "What do you mean by that?" In fact, he knew that his master was against him joining the Imperial Association to do things for the Japanese, but he still couldn't help but ask.

Lu Caiting looked at him and replied in a low and powerful voice; "Lingshi is a generation of monks, compassionate, beyond 3,000 sentient beings, all day long incense Sanskrit praying for meditation, in order to clear the universe, resolve the boundless slaughter, I hope that the third battalion commander can understand the reason, can not make the Lingshi's cultivation dusty, now there is a way, can make the third battalion commander lost and return, to the light."

Zhen Lingshan smiled bitterly and continued to ask; "Zhen is ignorant, I hope the second young master can speak thoroughly?"

Lu Caiting is straight to the point; "Then don't look at the commander of the third battalion, we are the people of the anti-Japanese independent column of the New Fourth Army, and the brother is the captain Lu Caiting," he said, pointing to Mr. Teaching; "Ning Chenlong, known as 'Four-Eyed Zhuge in the rivers and lakes', the chief of staff of the independent column, we are stationed in the area of General Ao and Dongqiao Village in Weimeng Mountain, and we have only recently eliminated the transport convoy of devils, and the devils will definitely retaliate, and will send troops to clean up and sweep our Weimeng Mountain, and your Imperial Alliance Army will definitely participate, I hope that the commander of the third battalion can fight back in this sweep and bring your people and guns over to join our New Fourth Army."

Zhen Lingshan smiled miserably, shook his head and said; "No, I think that at the beginning, when Zhen came out of Qingyuan Temple to roam the rivers and lakes, due to recklessness, he fought with people in Luxi County, committed six murders, and has been ironclad to death, or my current eldest brother Yin Kun spent a lot of gold bars and silver yuan, how much manpower did it take to fish me out, I can call the wind and rain in the Mengmeng area today, and I still rely on the prestige of my eldest brother, Zhen can also see through! If you don't have friends and backers, it's hard to stand on the rivers and lakes, Zhen doesn't understand the truth, but he still understands that Entu Bao is absolutely not right to betray my eldest brother, but-" Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment before continuing; "You are in Jiangjunao, Dongqiao Village is also right to make trouble with the New Fourth Army, for the sake of your relationship with your family teacher, when the time comes to attack Jiangjunao, Dongqiao Village, I can order my troops to fire guns in the sky, don't embarrass you, I can only do this."

Lu Caiting smiled faintly and inspired him again; "Third battalion commander, the righteousness of the nation, the high hopes of the commander, how can you live up to it? You are just receiving Yin Kun's personal favor, but now you are doing a traitorous act of betraying the country, you should understand? Or make up your mind, surrendering to our New Fourth Army is your way out, and live up to the expectations of the commander, the disciples of Qingyuan Temple, many of your senior brothers are heroes who fought against the invaders, and you can't tarnish the reputation of Qingyuan Temple? ”

Zhen Lingshan picked up the wine glass, gritted his teeth, and said; "People are in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help it, who told me to receive favors from others, and I can't repay them? For the sake of the teacher, if I am a friend of Zhen, don't mention this matter again, let's just drink, and what Zhen says must keep his promise. ”

In the face of Zhen Lingshan's stubbornness, Lu Caiting was helpless, he also knew that these Jianghu people were short-sighted, narrow-minded, and only knew how to pay attention to personal feelings and grievances, this kind of thing was difficult for him to turn around for a while, only by waiting for the opportunity slowly, and trying to persuade him in the future, he glanced at Ning Chenlong.

Ning Chenlong understood, picked up the wine glass and said to Zhen Lingshan; "Since the third battalion commander has made up his mind, and we Jianghu people are also happy, we will not mention this matter, we should only make friends with the third battalion commander today, come! Let's drink. ”

A few people really no longer talked about persuading Zhen Lingshan to join the New Fourth Army instead, just drinking one by one, telling some interesting stories and anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, Zhen Lingshan was not good at talking, but under the influence of Lu Caiting and Ning Chenlong's personal eloquent conversation, they also talked speculatively with them, and drank happily.

After Lu Caiting, Ning Chenlong, and Lu Xiaohu returned to the camp in the mountains, they mobilized the troops and the men, women, and children in the village to transfer the food, livestock, and all the materials to the back mountains to hide, and the walls were cleared, so as not to leave a grain of grain for the invading enemy.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Caiting, Lin Zhifeng, the political commissar and the captain of the two columns led their respective guards and special combat teams Meng Yi, Xin Yang, Chang Yuling, Gu Tao, Liu Pianpian, Qin Sihammer, Tong Chuang, Qi Lianhu, Wen brothers, Gu family brothers and more than ten people, carrying a big fat pig and four jars of wine to visit the neighboring Tiger Roaring Peak cottage.

Everyone starts from the back mountain of General Ao, along the mountain range straight up to the wild deer, climb the mountain with a high overlook, the white clouds are long, the mountains and peaks are in full view, everyone really has to ride the wind to return, straight into the nine clouds, the feeling that the height is unbearable, Cao Shimei, Liu Pianpian, Liu Twelve, Lu Xiaohu, Ah Hun several young men and women are dancing and laughing.

Just arrived at the top of Yelu Mountain, a few bandits came out of the cliff woods, holding a gun at everyone, Lu Caiting explained his intention to the bandit soldiers, the bandit soldiers looked at the neat uniforms of the New Fourth Army, and then looked at the fat pigs and wine jars they carried, believing that they were coming to visit the cottage, so a bandit soldier led the way to lead everyone to continue up the mountain, and another bandit soldier immediately ran up the mountain to inform the cottage.

According to the practice of bandits, people who visit the cottage and go up the mountain are generally blindfolded with strips of cloth, but these bandit soldiers are all vigorous and strong, especially the people of the special combat team, steel helmets, black scarves, leather gloves, and submachine guns, and they also bring generous courtesies, so they did not make this request.

Everyone continues to climb the mountain, across the wild deer, over the Eagle Sorrow Rock, climb the main peak Tiger Roar Peak, this Tiger Roar Peak and the leopard thunder stream are completely different, it does not have the leopard thunder stream roundabout depth, canine teeth are linked to each other, the ravines are dense in vertical and horizontal, the sinister trace is complex, but it is the boulder abrupt, the cliff Cui Wei, the ancient cypress towering natural majestic and majestic another majestic danger, one person is the pass, ten thousand people to describe it is not an exaggeration.

Before everyone arrived at the cottage on the top of Tiger Roaring Peak, the cottage had received a notification, the door of the village was open, and there were also two rows of bandit soldiers on both sides of the road leading to the Juyi Hall in the village, everyone with big knives and spears, and the spirit of majesty.

Two bandit leaders came forward, one was rough and heroic, a pair of eyes were as shiny and sharp as eagles, a thin waist and long arms, wide shoulders and arms, the appearance was a little elegant, silver-gray cardigan, white lining, one of these two was the North Manchurian heroic 'Haidongqing' Wei Chu outside the Guanwai, and the other was the Yingjie 'Little Horse Chao' Wen Qinping in the green forest, Wen Qinping raised his hand to signal the guests to enter the village.

Lin Zhifeng, Lu Caiting and others walked into the village, and the people of the special combat team unloaded the fat pigs and wine jars they were carrying and put them in the open space in the village.

Wen Qinping asked again with a fist at the guests; "Friends who are coming, report their names!" He saw that the people on the other side were all wearing the uniforms of the New Fourth Army, and he had also seen the people of the New Fourth Army, so he didn't use the oral language on the rivers and lakes and green forest roads, but just asked each other in ordinary oral language.

Lu Caiting replied with a fist in return; "The anti-Japanese independent column of the New Fourth Army came to visit Guishanzhai!"

Wen Qinping raised his hand again, someone on the side of the cottage beat the big drum, the drum sounded 'dong dong', shaking the cottage, but also shocked people's hearts, the bandit soldiers who were in the passage of the Juyi Hall heard the sound of the drums, and shouted in unison, and put the big knives and spears in their hands in the air, forming a sword and gun array, which was a demonstration ceremony for the bandits.

Wen Qinping made a gesture of invitation to Lu Caiting and the others again, Lu Caiting walked calmly from the sword and gun forest array on the horizontal frame, and Lin Zhifeng also followed Lu Caiting into the sword and gun forest array.

Another bandit leader, Wei Chu, also made a gesture to the other special combat team members to invite them in, and Lu Xiaohu immediately called all the special combat team members and Cao Shimei, Liu Twelve and others to lift the fat pig and the wine jar and walk into the sword and gun forest together.

Wen Qinping took Lu Caiting and Lin Zhifeng walked into the Juyi Hall through the sword and gun forest array, the Juyi Hall is spacious and deep, and it is also carved out according to the cave on the mountain wall, there is a long table on the left that can accommodate more than 30 people at the same time, there are several chairs covered with spotted leopard skin on the left and right, and on the seat on the right sits a young girl wearing a red shirt, with her eyes wide open, vigilantly watching the comer, and her eyes reveal a bit of curiosity.

At the end of the hall, on the platform of the three steps of the step, there are also three golden tiger skin seats paved with flat flower stripes, arranged in a zigzag shape, sitting on the three leaders of the tiger roaring peak, and on the seat in the middle is the leader of the big boss Yao Dianchen, the swallow forehead is full, the thick eyebrows are like a paint brush, the eyes are black, the tiger cheeks are round and bulging, and the beard is like an iron beard, this person is brave and strong, and the temperament is irritable, and the people of the rivers and lakes call 'Thunderbolt Zhang Fei'.

On the tiger skin seat on the left sat Hao Zhenyu, the leader of the second master, with a strong figure, a dignified tiger body, and a beard with sideburns, this person is a native of Changbai Mountain in Beiman, nicknamed 'Changbai Tiger', and was originally also a battalion commander of the Northeast Army, 'Nine?

Lu Caiting and Lin Zhifeng came to the bottom of the steps, looked around at the three village owners, and Lu Caiting hugged his fists and saluted; "Lu Caiting, the captain of the anti-Japanese independent column of the New Fourth Army, visited the three village masters, and admired the three village masters for a long time to gather on the Tiger Roaring Peak, proud of the clouds, long roaring mountains and rivers, often holding the ambition of the tiger lying in the clouds, you often fight the little devils, which has been passed down as a good story in Suxi, and is deeply loved by the people, and Lu is very impressed."

After Lu Caiting finished speaking, he pointed to Lin Zhifeng beside him and introduced; "This is Lin Zhifeng, the political commissar of my anti-Japanese independent column."

Hao Zhenyu, the owner of the second village, stood up and returned the salute with his fists; "Thanks to Captain Lu's praise, in fact, your anti-Japanese independent column ambushed the Japanese army's transport convoy at the foot of the mountain before the mountain, and completely annihilated a squad of the Yokohama Brigade, the ace unit of the Japanese army, clean and neat, that is admirable, in Xia Hao Zhenyu, the owner of the second cottage, Captain Lu is polite!"
