Chapter 5 Liu Tang
Li Kui was a little stunned, and he was actually called out by the other party, obviously the actions of himself and the others had already been expected by the other party, so he must have been ambushed.
He was a little flustered in his heart, knowing that he had been ambushed but still had no choice, his huge head couldn't think of a way for a long time.
couldn't care more, Li Kui replied loudly: "What's the matter, what's not the matter, grandpa is here today to get the head of the others." β
The man in the gatehouse was not annoyed when he heard Li Kui's words, but replied respectfully: "If you are really from Erlong Mountain, the Taiping thief Kou has been bound here by me, and we are willing to surrender, I just ask you not to hurt my brothers." β
When Li Kui heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned again, this is simply a big reversal, but he really suspects in his heart that the other party has several layers of sincerity, it won't be designed to earn his own in, right?
Li Kui said loudly: "How do I know that what you said is true, what if you design to deceive me?" β
The other party listened to Li Kui's words and responded: "It's reasonable that you don't believe me, in order to reassure you, everyone here has laid down their weapons, and I myself am willing to be a hostage, how about it?" β
Li Kui thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with what the other party said, and said, "Okay, I believe you for the time being, you come over first, and tell your men to lay down their weapons." β
The man behind the gatehouse ordered everyone to put down their weapons, and then walked slowly towards Li Kui alone, while the people behind him shouted: "Big brother, why are you doing this." β
Regardless of the obstruction of everyone behind him, the man walked steadily in front of Li Kui with his feet down, without the slightest nervousness, his expression was serious, and there was a hint of grandeur.
At this moment, Cao Zheng and others behind Li Kui had also arrived, looking at the situation in front of him a little inexplicable, I didn't know what the hell was going on, but quietly came to Li Kui's side to watch the changes.
The hundreds of people standing behind the gatehouse, Cao Zheng and others, have already noticed that there are a lot of people, but they don't have weapons in their hands, and when they look at it again, they are all put their weapons at their feet, what does this mean, everyone is a little puzzled.
The man came to Li Kui's side and said, "I have fulfilled my promise, and I ask you to fulfill your promise as well, and not to harm the lives of my brothers." β
When he said this, Cao Zheng and the others understood a little, and this was the rhythm of surrendering before the fight, and they were really a little surprised in their hearts, and they didn't understand why.
At the same time, my heart was also full of joy, and it took Cui Mang Ridge without a single soldier, which was really happy and unexpected.
Li Kui said: "Haha, if you can keep your promise, of course, you will be able to keep your promise, brothers, go, escort them back to the mountain, and wait for my brother's reward." β
Cao Zheng and the others arrived at the gatehouse only to find that there were still some people tied inside, it should be the Taiping Taoist disciples in Li Kui's mouth, from Li Kui's mouth, Cao Zheng and others have already understood the general process of the matter, these Taiping Taoist disciples decided to solve it on the spot, and they are not taking it to Erlong Mountain.
All the property in Cui Mangling has been emptied, all the valuable food has been marked with the sign of Erlong Mountain, and no one has resisted in all the processes.
The leader of the Cui Mang Ridge was looked at by Li Kui, and the man was very burly, not much worse than Zou Run, and it was estimated that his strength would not be any worse.
Li Kui looked at him tightly, for fear that he would run away halfway, and counted the number of prisoners, and there were nearly five hundred prisoners, which was more than the number of people in a battalion.
Outside the woods, Erniang's cavalry company had been waiting for a long time, and when she saw everyone walking out of the forest with high spirits, and watching a lot of unfamiliar faces, she knew that she had won the battle again, and her company seemed to be useless this time.
I was very depressed, I didn't get a fight a few times, and this time I finally had the opportunity, but I didn't expect it to be useless, and I was really unwilling.
Cao Zheng stepped forward to explain the situation to her early, and learned that the other party took the initiative to surrender, and he did not spend a single soldier, so Erniang's mood was better.
Hu Sanniang's originally good mood was also ruined, and she wanted to fight out the evil spirit accumulated during this time, but she didn't expect that in the end, the bamboo basket would be empty, and it seemed that she had to wait for the next time.
The cavalry company was fast, and rushed back to Erlong Mountain first to inform the ring. situation, Li Kui and the others accelerated behind them, striving to return to Erlong Mountain before dark.
The distance between the two places was a little far, and although everyone made great efforts to move forward, they still rushed back to the mountain at dusk, and the precepts had already prepared a banquet in the kitchen to entertain the brethren in triumph.
As soon as Li Kui returned to the mountain, he pulled the leader of Cuimangling to see Jiese, and introduced to Jiese: "Brother, this is the big boss of Cuimangling, surnamed Liu Mingtang, if he didn't take the initiative to surrender, it is estimated that there will be a bloody battle between the two sides." β
Jiese looked at Liu Tang in front of him, with a wide face and a straight mouth, a burly figure, and a very heroic spirit, and then looked at his cheeks, and sure enough, there was a red mole, and a pinch of red hair on the red mole was very eye-catching.
Hahahaha, another good man has been included in my command, this is really a good year, maybe Monk Lu is also secretly helping me.
Liu Tang is a very powerful character, very good at kung fu, and he is also a person with an impatient personality, but I don't know if his personality has changed in this life.
However, judging from the fact that he voluntarily surrendered to save the lives of his brothers, it is estimated that his personality has changed a lot, at least it is not something that a person with an impatient temperament can do.
Liu Tang in front of him gave people a sense of stability and steadfastness, and he felt that he should be a very stable person for no reason, and his temperament should be more similar to Cao Zheng, Zhang Qing and others.
Liu Tang bowed deeply in the face of the precept and said: "Those who have seen the big boss have long heard of the big boss, and it is really not an honor to see it today." β
Qu Se said: "Haha, your name is Liu Tang, well, this name is good, this name is good, you will be our brother in the future, you don't have to be so restrained, just like a family, go, let your brothers also participate in today's banquet, let's have a drink." β
Liu Tang didn't expect that Jiese would be so bold, and he was excited at the moment, and he went to find his brothers when he was led by Jiese. Erniang had already recounted the incident to Jiese, and at this time, of course, he couldn't chill the brothers who had just surrendered.
The banquet was very rich, and everyone was greeted with enthusiasm to drink, and the happiest person in the banquet was Li Kui, and such a cheerful atmosphere also allowed Liu Tang and others to quickly integrate in.
Hundreds of brothers were scattered on various tables, and Liu Tang also sighed at the magnanimity of Erlong Mountain, and the number of people, worthy of being the first of all the cottages in Dunqiu.
Perhaps choosing not to confront Erlong Mountain head-on is the most correct decision, in short, seeing that the brothers can integrate well into the environment of Erlong Mountain, Liu Tang is also very happy in his heart.
After the halfway through the wine, he took a sip of wine and said loudly: "Brothers, who do you say has the greatest credit this time?" β
"Iron Bull, Iron Bull, Iron Bull."
The crowd shouted one after another, there is no doubt that although Liu Tang chose to surrender this time, in terms of credit, it should belong to Li Kui, who took the risk first.
Jie Se said: "Okay, then which company of the second battalion should belong to this crossbow this time, it is up to Tie Niu to decide." β
Li Kui said: "Thank you brother for the reward, hahahaha, I can finally use the crossbow, this trip is really not in vain, I want to give my brother a cup." β
After listening to everyone's words, Liu Tang was shocked in his heart, there was actually a crossbow in Erlong Mountain, which was a very lethal crossbow arrow, and now only a small number of troops could equip that thing, but he didn't expect that Erlong Mountain would also have it.
I wanted to see what the repeater looked like, Liu Tang had also heard of it, but he hadn't really seen it, and when he heard it, he was really looking forward to it.
As the three company commanders of the second battalion, of course, they all hoped that Li Kui could give the company a crossbow to his company, and before Li Kui made an announcement, the hearts of the people in the three companies were full of expectations.
After a toast with Jiese, Li Kui did not sit down, but pondered for a long time, and announced: "Is this crossbow, it's a pity that there is only one company, but I have three companies under my command, so let's give it to the company that just followed me in this time." β
Hearing Li Kui's words, Ding Desun and Zhu Wu were immediately overjoyed, so that they would be able to have a lot of advantages when they fought in the future.
In the face of such a strange establishment and title of Erlong Mountain, Liu Tang was a little puzzled in his heart, but he could also roughly guess the meaning of the battalion and the company, as well as the number of people under their respective jurisdictions.
It's just that why is it called like this here, not according to the name of the present world, I really don't understand it in my heart, and Liu Tang is not easy to ask at this moment, so I can only stay in my heart.
Li Kui had just sat down, and Jiese continued to announce: "This time the company of the Iron Bull has won a reward, of course, he himself will not be less rewarded, Xiao Qiu, go and bring the small repeater we just developed and give it to the Iron Bull." β
A small repeater, what is that, a sentence aroused everyone's curiosity, since it is a repeater, it must be a good thing, and the small repeater should be one size smaller than the current repeater.
While everyone was envious in their hearts, they were also looking forward to it, Hua Qiu went out for a while and came back with two things, and it was no effort to hold two in one hand.
When they got closer, everyone knew how small the small repeater in Jiese's mouth was, and the palm-sized thing was so lovely.
Li Kui couldn't wait to snatch it from Hua Qiu's hand and play with it carefully, but he didn't expect that there was a layer of quivers next to the repeater, and there were four or five pocket arrows on the faΓ§ade, which really made his heart bloom.
Turning his head and asking Hua Qiu, "Xiao Qiu, this thing is so small, can it have a role, it won't be just an ornament, right?" β
Hua Qiu said with a smile: "I knew you would ask this, my brother will definitely not give you useless things, don't look at this thing is so small, its power is not small, it can shoot nearly one hundred and fifty steps at the farthest, which is not much worse than a crossbow." β
