Chapter Thirty-Nine: General Shi Yong
Besides, after Shi Jin led people to repel Huang An's army, he returned to Liangshan to fight his troops.
The hotel in charge of Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang also began to distribute money and recruit heroes.
At the end of May, a team of soldiers and horses under Zhu Gui successfully won the first place in the infantry army, allowing Zhu Wu to win the gamble with Chen Da.
Although Chen Da happily gave Zhu Wu silver, he was unconvinced, and said that Zhu Gui's team won a fluke.
Zhu Wu didn't say much, and gave Chen Da another chance to pull the bill.
Chen Da did not disappoint Zhu Wu, and gambled with Zhu Wu for another hundred taels of silver to see if Zhu Gui's team could win the first place in June.
Shi Jin smiled and said nothing.
This time, Zhu Gui's team won a bit of a fluke.
The strongest team under Chen Da drew lots and met the strongest team under Yang Chun, and although they won, they also paid a lot of price.
Zhu Gui's team defeated a slightly weaker team to enter the final competition, and narrowly defeated the strongest team under Chen Da.
However, as Zhu Gui's subordinates continue to become familiar with the military formation, their combat effectiveness will become higher and higher, and it will be easier and easier to win the first place.
In fact, after watching a few drills, Shi Jin felt that the military formation was like a killing machine, and once the run-in was completed, it could show his lethality.
However, the unit of the cottage competition is still smaller, a team of fifty people, among which one or two good martial arts can lead people to break the opponent's military formation, so the power of the military formation is not very obvious.
However, fortunately, there are only 50 people in each team, otherwise it is not possible to achieve it in a short period of time if you want to cooperate well.
The cottage competition can not only stimulate the competitiveness of the cottage leaders, make them diligent in training, but also show the benefits of the military formation, so that everyone can practice the military formation willingly.
Shi Jin did not go down the mountain again, practicing martial arts for one hour and training soldiers for three hours every day, and his life was very fulfilling.
He also took advantage of his leisure time to have two carpenters make several wooden stills and distill spirits.
Shi Jin didn't know how many degrees of liquor was distilled, but except for Chen Da, the wine that was distilled twice didn't like it.
On the contrary, the sake that has been distilled once has been sought after by some people, and the sake that has been distilled once is stronger than the usual liquor in the market, but it is not unacceptable.
Shi Jin named the liquor that was distilled once as shochu, and the liquor that was distilled twice was named burnt knife.
In addition to supplying cottages, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang also took some of the soju to sell at the mountain hotel, but they were welcomed by passing merchants.
When the weather is wet and cold, they need some spirits to ward off the cold, and many passing merchants will buy some on the road after drinking.
The sale of soju also made the hotels in charge of Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang start to make money, but unfortunately this soju is only available in Yangsan, and hotels in Jeju City, Yuncheng County and other cities cannot be sold, otherwise with soju, Liangshan may also be able to open up a financial road.
One day in June, Shi Jin had lunch and was resting in the house when he heard someone outside shouting, "Is my brother there?" ”
"Yes."
Shi Jin answered and walked out of the room.
Zhang Qing led a man to stand in the courtyard.
I saw that this man was eight feet long, with pale yellow bones and a face, a pair of fresh eyes, and no mustache under his chin.
Now Dazhai has built more than 20 independent courtyards, and Shi Jin is not pretentious, and all the leaders have moved to live in the independent courtyard.
Shi Jin saw this man grow up, and he also liked it a little, hugged his fists and smiled: "If you miss the distance, you hope to forgive your sins." ”
Shi Yong hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "The villain Shi Yong has seen the leader. ”
Shi Jin heard Shi Yong's name, and a person also appeared in his heart, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, let's go into the house and talk." ”
"Okay."
Zhang Qing and Shi Yong followed Shi into the house and sat down as the host and guest.
Shi Jin asked, "I don't know where my brother came from?" ”
Shi Yong said: "The villain was originally a member of the Daimyo Mansion, and he only lived by gambling every day. Hongo has a different name for the villain, called General Shi. Last year, he killed a person with a punch in gambling, and fled to Cangzhou Chai Daguanren Village, where he lived for more than four months. Then he fell on the rivers and lakes, and at the beginning of the year, he heard that the leader was in Liangshan for the heavens, robbing the rich and helping the poor, so he wanted to come and join the gang. It's just that Dengzhou's newly acquainted brother Lin Long and Zou Yuan refused to let go, so they had to linger with him for a few months. ”
Shi Jin nodded and said: "Many brothers in the cottage have killed and injured people before going up the mountain, or they are forced to be helpless, or they are impulsive. However, once you go to Liangshan, you should abide by the rules of the cottage and do not indiscriminately hurt your brothers and people. ”
Shi Yong said solemnly: "Before going up the mountain, Leader Zhang had already told the villain. The villain must abide by the rules of the cottage, and please accept it from the leader. ”
Shi Jin said with a smile: "Since my brother is willing to abide by the rules of the cottage, then we will be brothers in the future." At the beginning of last month, I also stayed in Chai Daguanren Village for a few days. If we had gone earlier, we would have known each other earlier. ”
In the past few months, it has been rumored on the rivers and lakes that history has entered the righteous vegetables, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and distributed no less than hundreds of thousands of yuan.
In addition, Liangshan has a great momentum, and his name has overtaken Chao Gai and Song Jiang, and it is comparable to the small whirlwind Chai Jin.
Therefore, Shi Yong came to Liangshan to join the gang.
Seeing that Shi Jin, who was famous all over the world, was so polite to him, Shi Yong hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "I only hate the villain's blessing, and I have the opportunity to meet Zunyan today." ”
Shi Jin said with a smile: "Brother Shi Yong, you don't have to be polite, if you are tired, I will let someone arrange for you to rest." If you are not tired, let's go to the back to eat a small wine, and I will ask the leaders of the cottage to meet. ”
Shi Yong was also overjoyed when he heard that Shi Jin was going to invite all the leaders of the cottage to meet, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my brother, my younger brother arrived at the Li family crossing yesterday." Worried that the cottage would take the school martial arts test, he slept in the inn until midnight, and ate a full stomach, and raised enough energy, so he found the Zhang Leader Hotel. ”
Shi Jin said with a smile: "Everyone else went up the mountain to eat a meal first, and then rested for a few days to recuperate and then watch martial arts." If my brother is anxious, I will arrange for him to compete with him. ”
Shi Yongyi was bold, hugged his fists and said: "Little brother is brave, please try it and then eat the wine." ”
Shi Jin got up and said, "Okay, then let's go to the front of the martial arts arena." ”
When the three of them walked out of the courtyard, they saw Ruan Xiaoqi coming from behind.
Ruan Xiaoqi hurried up, looked at Shi Yong, and said with a smile: "New brother? ”
Shi Yong saw Ruan Xiaoqi so casual, expecting that he was a cottage leader, and hugged his fists and said: "Little brother Shi Yong, just arrived." ”
Ruan Xiaoqi hugged his fists and saluted: "Fortunately, I am Ruan Xiaoqi." ”
Shi Jin smiled: "We are about to go to the front of the martial arts competition, where are you going?" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "It's hot in the house, I'll go to the water village below to rest." ”
The civil construction of Liangshan has not stopped, and in June, a water village has been built on the golden beach, but there is no canteen in the water village, and the water army on duty also has to go up the mountain in batches to eat.
When the four of them walked to the martial arts arena in front of the Juyi Hall, Ruan Xiaoqi's hands itched and asked, "Brother Shi Yong can punch and kick?" ”
Shi Yong nodded and said, "I know how to do some punches." ”
Ruan Xiaoqi smiled: "Then why don't we practice?" ”
Shi Yong was not afraid, and arched his hand: "Then I will dare to learn a thing or two." ”
Ruan Xiaoqi took a few steps forward, turned to look at Shi Yong, and said, "They are all Jianghu men, if you win against me, I will also respect you, and I don't need to retract my efforts." ”
"Okay, then I'll be offended."
Shi Yong responded, then pulled out the posture and punched Ruan Xiaoqi.
Hearing the sound of Shi Yong's fist breaking through the air, Ruan Xiaoqi also knew that it was a hard stubble, so he was not surprised or rejoiced, and caught Shi Yong with vigor.
The two fists and feet, and the fight is not intense.
Zhang Qing also heard Shi Yong's boasting deeds, so he personally led Shi Yong up the mountain, and now when he sees Shi Yong's kung fu, he knows that what he said is true.
He recruited heroes at the foot of the mountain, if he wasn't famous, he could only ask about some deeds of the people who came.
If he likes to boast and talk about it, he will lead it up the mountain, but most of them are ordinary men and have no martial arts.
Before, he only led the mountain to the dry land Hulu Zhu Gui's good martial arts, and now he has added another one, which is this stone general Shi Yong.
"Bang"
"Pedaling"
Shi Yong and Ruan Xiaoqi fought for a while, Shi Yong flew up with a kick, Ruan Xiaoqi didn't have time to dodge, so he could only cross his arms to protect his chest.
Shi Yong hit Ruan Xiaoqi's arm with a kick, and with a muffled sound, Ruan Xiaoqi, who kicked straight, took seven or eight steps back before standing firmly.
Ruan Xiaoqi froze his body, shook his arm, and said to Shi Yong, who did not take advantage of the situation to pursue: "Brother is good at kung fu, I am not as good as you with fists and feet." ”
Shi Yong hugged his fists and said, "Accept." ”
Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said, "I didn't let you, brother, this Shi Yong brother is good at martial arts, can he be a leader?" ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Well, Brother Shi Yong will sit on the eleventh chair first." Let's go to the back to eat and drink, and invite the leaders to come together. ”
