Chapter 55: A Visit to Chao Gai
After sitting at the Lijiadaokou Hotel for a few days, Shi Jin was really a little idle.
On this day, after sitting in the hotel at the foot of the mountain for another day, I came to the Military Administration Department when I went up the mountain.
Zhu Wu was reading the military book in the Military and Political Department, and when he saw Shi coming in, he got up and said with a smile: "Brother just came up from the mountain?" ”
Shi Jin nodded and said: "Well, today I heard people talking about the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai at the foot of the mountain, and the cottage brothers also said that this person was righteous and squandered money. We've been here for a year, so it's time to pay a visit to this hero. ”
Zhu Wudao: "What my brother said is that there is nothing to do in the cottage now, if my brother wants to go, I will accompany my brother to go." ”
Shi Jin smiled: "Okay, you haven't been down the mountain for a long time, so you just happened to walk together." It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, how about we go tomorrow morning? ”
The cottage has been on the road to heaven several times, and Zhu Wu has stayed in the cottage.
But he didn't feel anything sad, he read books and practiced martial arts on the mountain every day, and he was accompanied by his brothers when he ate and drank.
He also knew that this kind of life was a bit monotonous for young people, especially for people like Shi Jin who were born in a big family and were used to playing in the city, the cottage could be said to be very boring.
But in the past year, except for a few times to go down the mountain for Tianxingdao and escort Lin Chong and move Lin Chong's old and young for more than a month, Shi Jin stayed in the cottage for the rest of the time, which made Zhu Wu a little surprised.
In the past few days, Shi Jin has gone to the hotel under the mountain every day, which makes Zhu Wu feel more normal.
"My brother said that it will be when, but Dongxi Village is not far from Yuncheng County, just in case, we will let two teams of horse soldiers patrol nearby tomorrow. If something happens, it's easy to help. ”
Shi Jin shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." If it spreads to the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that we will think that we are not sincere. Chao Gai is not easy to say there, he doesn't know how many friends he has received there, he has never made a mistake, there must be his means. If we believe in Him, let us go. ”
Zhu Wu was puzzled: "What my brother said is that now my brother is involved in the fate of thousands of people in the cottage, so I have to think about it more." ”
Shi Jin also knew Zhu Wu's cautious temperament, and said with a smile: "In this way, let's call Brother Luda to go with us again." With him by his side, even when something happens, no one must be able to stop him. ”
Zhu Wu didn't doubt that Chao Gai was a person, and seeing that Shi Jin had made up his mind not to bring troops, he had to agree.
The two of them gossiped a few more words, and the drums sounded outside.
Shi Jin said: "Let's go to the back to eat, and by the way, talk to the brothers." ”
The unitary time is the time when the Liangshan canteen is opened, and all teams will end their drills at this hour, and the Money and Food Department and the Military and Political Department will naturally stop working.
At that moment, Zhu Wu and Shi Jin came to the back cafeteria.
met Shi Yong and Li Zhong on the way, and Shi Jin beckoned the two to go to the No. 1 canteen together.
When there is a new leader on the mountain, or when there is a holiday feast, all the leaders will eat together in the No. 1 canteen, but on weekdays, most leaders will eat with their minions.
When everyone arrived at the No. 1 canteen, Shi Jin asked people to invite the leaders.
And in a short time all the people came.
Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang are both in the Bowai Hotel, and the Golden Beach Water Village has also added a canteen, and Ruan's Sanxiong also eats in the Water Village on weekdays.
Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Chen Da, Yang Chun, Zhu Gui, Shi Yong, Lu Da, Zhou Tong, Li Zhong, and Lin Chong are just one table, but their wine and food are not more than cottage minions.
Shi Jin saw that everyone had arrived, so he said: "Tomorrow I want to ask the military advisor and the Luda brothers to accompany me to Dongxi Village to visit the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai, after we leave, if there is something in the cottage, the brothers can discuss it, and if there is a difference of opinion, the Chen Da brothers will make the decision." ”
Chen Da is a founding father, and he far surpasses others in terms of martial arts and merits.
When everyone heard Shi Jin's words, they were not surprised.
Ruda said with a smile: "I have heard of the name of the Tota Heavenly King many times in the rivers and lakes, but I want to compare with him to see who has the most strength." ”
Zhu Wudao: "Brother Luda can carry the tripod, and when he has the power of the overlord of Chu, it may not be easy to find an opponent." ”
During this period of time, everyone also comprehended Luda's divine power, and they all believed in Zhu Wu's words.
Shi Jin was a little curious.
There is no mention of Chao Gai's force in the Water Margin, but Chao Gai can lift the stone tower, and he must be a powerful person.
Ruda is even more amazing, and the two can't say that they are really fighting.
And when they had eaten, they rested.
The winter days are short, and there is no entertainment life in the cottage, and most of the people go to bed early, which is also one of the reasons why Shi Jinneng gets up early every day.
In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, and Luda took the Pu knife, each carried a waist knife, and led the horse down the mountain.
When they arrived at the Golden Beach Water Village, the three heroes of the Ruan family were preparing to train their troops, and Ruan Xiaoqi saw the three of them leading the horses, so he ran over and asked, "Where are the three brothers going?" How about piggybacking on Xiaoqi too? ”
Shi Jin said with a smile: "Let's go to Dongxi Village to visit the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai, and we will come back in the evening." You can train in peace. ”
Ruan Xiaoqi said: "I also heard that this Chao Gai is a good man who fights for righteousness and squanders money, is my brother going to invite him to join the gang?" ”
Ruan Xiaoer, who came from behind, heard Ruan Xiaoqi's words and said: "Chao Baozheng's family is rich and wealthy, and he is a local tycoon, so he will definitely not want to join the gang." ”
Shi Jin shook his head and said: "What the second brother said is that if he didn't commit a crime, how would he be willing to fall into the grass." We only went to see him, and we had no other intentions. ”
Ruan Xiaoqi salivated and said, "In this way, that brother must take me there." I have heard the name of Chao Baozheng for a long time, but the fate is shallow, and I have no chance to see it. It's good that my brother got my wish. ”
Shi Jin looked at Ruan Xiaoqi's scoundrel appearance, shook his head and said, "When you want to go, go and prepare the horse." ”
Ruan Xiaoqi heard Shi Jin's promise, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go now." Brother don't have to wait for me, you just have to go on the road, and I'll catch up soon." ”
Ruan Xiaowu also blinked the copper bell and said, "Why don't you take my brother with me?" ”
Shi Jin didn't want to favor one over the other, and said helplessly: "Okay, the second brother won't go, right?" ”
Ruan Xiaoer said with a smile: "When they all go, I can't go if I want to, there must be someone watching this water village." ”
Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi went to prepare a pommel horse.
Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, and Luda didn't wait, they led the horses out of Shuibo, and rode slowly for a while, and Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi rode after them.
The five of them did not gallop on horseback, but rode slowly.
Unfortunately, there is not much scenery in winter, and only loess and some rhizomes left over from harvest are left between the ridges.
Some of the snow in the shade has not yet cleared, making the ground look speckled.
Fortunately, there is no cold wind today, and the winter sun is also warm.
Dongxi Village is only more than 50 miles away from Liangshan, and it was almost noon, and the five of them had already seen Dongxi Village.
