Chapter 68 Harvesting Peach Blossom Mountain
Peach Blossom Mountain, Qingzhou
At the door, the minions smelled the aroma of wine wafting from the Juyi Hall, and the worms were hungry.
In the past, the looted property of the cottage was still divided into two parts, but since the tiger general Li Zhong went up the mountain, he has divided it into three, the two leaders each take one share, and the remaining hundreds of minions share one share, and they are naturally more and more shy in their pockets.
Moreover, after Li Zhong sat on the top spot, the number of times they went down the mountain became less and less, as long as there was food and drink in the cottage, they were not allowed to loot, and they naturally had no extra silver to buy wine and drink. Although the number of arrests by officers and soldiers has also decreased, it is also difficult for the brothers to survive.
The mountains are all over the mountain, and now there are only two leaders left who can eat and drink every day.
The little overlord Zhou Tong ate a bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Brother, this is much stronger than you making strong sticks and selling medicine on the rivers and lakes." ”
The tiger ripped Li Zhong off a chicken leg, gnawed on it, and said: "Well, now that corrupt officials are in charge, everyone is bitter, there are many people who see you playing with guns and sticks, but there are fewer and fewer people who have money to reward." Don't hide it from my brother, my brother was wandering on the rivers and lakes before, and there was no last meal. It's like now, eating wine in a big bowl and eating meat in a big piece. ”
Zhou Tong smiled: "Brother, this is satisfied?" After a few days, my brother will go down the mountain to find a family affair for you. Eat wine in a big bowl during the day, and there are women warming the kang at night, which is called happiness. ”
When Li Zhong heard this, he said: "Brother, listen to me, you should do less such things." The martial arts on the rivers and lakes are stronger than you and me, and the most hated is to take people's wives and daughters, if you provoke a bad man, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
Zhou Tong saw that Li Zhong was saying like this again, and said impatiently: "My brother is timid, when I forcibly married the daughter of Mrs. Liu of Peach Blossom Village, you also persuaded me like this. Now I've been sleeping with her in my arms for almost a year, isn't that nothing? My brother has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and his courage has gone. Don't worry about it, I'll go down the mountain in a few days to give you a family affair. ”
Li Zhong wanted to persuade Zhou Tong, but he saw a little minion running to report: "There are one hundred and ten people under the mountain, and the one who is the leader says that it is the little overlord of Liangshan, and he wants the two leaders to go down the mountain to see him." ”
When Zhou Tong heard this, he smiled and said: "Don't you know that this little overlord heard that I have the same name as him, so I can't come to worship him." Brother go, let's go down the mountain to meet this little overlord of Liangshan."
When Li Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Wait, last year, Liangshan robbed Dongping Mansion, and defeated the imperial army to encircle and suppress, and the momentum is great." Xiaobawang is Chao Gai's only son, how could he bring a hundred and ten people to my Peach Blossom Mountain. ”
Zhou Tong said: "Brother doesn't have to be sad, just ask if you go down." But there are 100 people, and we take 300 people down the mountain, and we are afraid that they will come to rob me of Peach Blossom Mountain. ”
Li Zhong still felt that something was wrong, and turned to the little minion and said, "Look carefully?" Are they really only a hundred and ten? ”
"There are indeed only 100 people, and there are more than 100 miles of this Peach Blossom Mountain, and if there are other people and horses, they will definitely not be able to hide from us."
Zhou Tong was already a little impatient, picked up the water green spear leaning against the wall, and shouted as he walked out: "Children, bring my war horse." ”
Li Zhong was afraid that Zhou Tong would make a mistake, so he had to pick up a gun and chase after him.
The two lit up the cottage of 300 minions, and as soon as they rushed to the bottom of the mountain, they saw more than 100 horses in black clothes and leather armor, but the one who started was a heroic descendant and a strong man with a leopard's head and eyes.
Li Zhong saw the neat armor and war horses of Liangshan's soldiers and horses, which could be said to be better equipped than the Qingzhou Forbidden Army, so he was cowardly first, and hugged his fists and said: "I have long admired the name of the little overlord of Liangshan, I don't know what your Excellency has to do here?" ”
Chao Yong looked at the chaotic minions in Peach Blossom Mountain behind him, and knew that this was a real group of grass cowards, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that the people of Peach Blossom Mountain robbed homes and houses, endangering the people, and there was also a Zhou Tong who took my name and forcibly married a folk girl. Is there such a thing? ”
Li Zhong was just about to explain, but Zhou Tong was already impatient and said: "You and I are both grass cowards, if you don't rob your house, do you still go to plant crops and eat." The impostor, even more fart, is only allowed to call you Xiaobawang, and others can't call it? ”
Since Chao Yong crossed, this was the first time he had been so insulted in person, and he was just about to speak.
"The leopard head forest rushed in."
Lin Chong next to him was already furious, shouted, and slapped his horse and gun to get Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong has never been out of Qingzhou, nor has he met a few powerful opponents, he feels that his martial arts should be considered first-class, and he does not show weakness, so he comes to fight Lin Chong.
couldn't fight Sanhe, Li Zhong saw that Zhou Tong was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the battle.
"Uhhhhhh
Lin Chong saw that Li Zhong was coming to attack, shouted violently, raised a gun, and stabbed Zhou Tong under the horse.
Although Li Zhong's martial arts are higher than Zhou Tong, they are also limited, seeing that Zhou Tong can't hold Wuhe under Lin Chong's hands, he consciously goes up and dies, turns the horse's head, rushes away and flees to the mountain.
Chao Yong saw that Li Zhong was leaving, and while leading the crowd to cover up the killing, he shouted: "Abandon the weapon and don't kill." ”
The momentum of the charge of the 100 horse army suddenly frightened many Taohuashan minions into losing their will to fight, seeing that they couldn't outrun the Liangshan soldiers and horses, and they didn't have to worry about the Liangshan soldiers and horses catching themselves to receive merit like the officers and soldiers, so they all squatted down with their heads hugged.
Lin Chong reacted quickly, and when he saw that Li Zhong was about to run, he chased after him.
Lin Chong's mount under the crotch was carefully selected from the more than 3,000 war horses that had just been captured, and Li Zhong's war horse was just an inferior horse that he had robbed, but after a few breaths, Lin Chong chased Li Zhong to the tail of the horse, and with a sweep of the spear in his hand, he beat Li Zhong under the horse.
Li Zhong rolled on the ground, and was just about to struggle to get up, but Lin Chong had already stopped his horse and pointed the spear in his hand at him.
Chao Yong came up immediately and said, "You are better than that Zhou Tong, but you are willing to go to Liangshan with us to do the way for the sky." ”
Li Zhong has been fighting on the rivers and lakes for many years, but he is self-aware, and he hugged his fists and said: "If the little overlord doesn't think Li Zhong's martial arts are low, he would rather lead the horse and fall into the stirrups." ”
Chao Yong smiled: "Okay, then let's go up the mountain and talk about it in detail." ”
All the way up the mountain, sure enough, I saw that the peach blossom mountain was treacherous, and only the road in front of the mountain was more than a foot wide to walk.
When the minions guarding the mountain saw that Li Zhong had surrendered, they also opened the gate of the wall.
Li Zhong invited Chao Yong and the others into the Juyi Hall, and hurriedly instructed the minions to reorganize the wine and food.
Chao Yong picked up a golden wine glass on the table and said with a smile: "You two usually robbed a lot of people, right?" ”
Li Zhong couldn't figure out Chao Yong's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "The little overlord is clear, after the little one goes up the mountain, he is afraid of provoking the Qingzhou army to arrest him, but the cottage has money and grain, and he will never go down the mountain to disturb the people. ”
Chao Yong nodded and said: "I also found out that your reputation is still good, so I spared your life, if you are the same as that Zhoutong, Lin Jiaotou will not show mercy." ”
When Li Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself that he was cautious, and hurriedly thanked Chao Yong and Lin Chong.
Chao Yong looked at the golden cup in his hand, then threw it on the table again, and asked, "Do you have any connection with Qingfeng Mountain?" ”
When Li Zhong heard this, he nodded and said, "The official army is powerful, and we also have some connections. A few years ago, Jinmao Hu Yanshun also sent us a letter, saying that it was Yuncheng County and Song Gongming was in Qingfeng Mountain, and invited me to pay a visit. When I set up a good cottage and was about to leave, Qingfeng Mountain sent a message again, saying that Song Gongming was gone, but he didn't say anything. ”
When Chao Yong heard this, he nodded and said, "Song Jiang should have gone to Qingfeng Village, you send a few fine minions to Qingfeng Village to investigate." In addition, rectify the cottage soldiers and horses, the old and weak have sent some entanglements to let them disperse, and if there is really nowhere to go, you can go to Liangshan with us. ”
