It is said that Chen Jintang, Wu Bao, and Wan Chuan bid farewell to Deng Zixuan and embarked on the road to Jiangbei. Brother three starry nights rushed more than ten days later, and entered the territory of northern Jiangsu. On this day they came to the foot of a rocky mountain with a strange rocky road, and the mountain road was overgrown with grass, and it was obvious that few people walked on the road. Chen Jintang glanced at the sun and said, "It's almost noon, let's rest here!" "There were a few scattered stones under a tree beside the mountain road, and the brothers sat on the stones and ate a few bites indiscriminately and then lay down on the ground to rest.

"Big brother! Deng Gongzi asked us to recruit people, but we have to limit the age and find clever people, which is too difficult? Long-legged Wu Bao muttered. That's it! Deng Gongzi's conditions are a little too high. At the beginning, Deng Gongzi selected scholars in the huge Shanghai City, and it took a lot of effort to select 20 scholars. Beggars are easy to find children, but half-sized clever children are hard to find! Wan Chuan agreed.

Seeing that Chen Jintang was silent, Wu Bao continued: "Big brother! In two days, we will enter the Shandong territory, I think we should find an acquaintance to find a way! "You got kicked in the head by a donkey, and you forgot how we escaped. Right now, the head on our buddy's neck is fucking silver, it's too dangerous to find acquaintances, and if you report to the official, you can't complete Deng Gongzi's trust, and even our lives are not guaranteed. Wan Chuan sneered.

"I also know that it's not appropriate to find acquaintances, but how to find it now, isn't it helpless since entering the territory of northern Jiangsu? Eldest brother! What is Deng Gongzi's recruitment conditions so tight? Wu Bao said impatiently. You were indeed kicked in the head by a donkey, Deng Gongzi said that you are not allowed to ask or guess, did you forget! "You just got kicked in the head by a donkey, can't you just ask, big brother! Could it be a big secret? Wu Bao blushed and argued hurriedly.

"That's it! No noise. You two have the energy to squint for a while, and then we have to hurry. This area is inaccessible, and there may be bandits, so you two put your mind to the right place! Chen Jintang scolded, and the two brothers looked at each other unconvinced and didn't squeak. It is impossible for Chen Jintang to tell the brothers what to do with recruiting people, and in fact, Chen Jintang is also distressed by this.

"Big brother, someone is coming!" Wan Chuan suddenly shouted at the tip of his ear. The three brothers quickly sat up and looked around, and sure enough, they found a person walking along the mountain road! "Damn, this person is bold enough to dare to walk alone in this wilderness!" Wan Chuan finished speaking and lay down again. The visitor approached and was weak and staggered to walk. I saw that the braid on his head had been loosened and messy, and the loose hair blocked his dirty face.

Judging by his size, the person who came was a young man with a package under his arm. The eyes of the comers are blurred and do not squint. I saw that no one sat down next to him, his eyes fixed on the branches, and his mouth seemed to mumble something. "It turned out to be a fool!" Wu Baodao. Chen Jintang put a piece of dry food on the stone and stood up and said, "Brothers, let's go!" After walking less than 50 meters on the road, Wan Chuan shouted loudly: "Big brother, it's not good!" ”

"The man is going to hang!" Wu Bao also exclaimed. And he saw the man standing on a stone, with his trouser belt tied to the branch. At this time, he was putting his belt around his neck, watching the man stare away from the stone, and his body hung in midair. When it was too late, Chen Jintang pulled out his gun and loaded it in one go, only to hear a gunshot, his belt was broken, and the man fell to the ground and began to cry.

"Oh my God! Just open your eyes! Let me die! A few people ran back from Xin, "Why do you save me, please let me die!" "Why are you looking for death at such a young age?" asked Chen Jintang. My wife has been plundered, and I don't want to live anymore, I want to find her! "Look at your little talent, your wife is gone, you are still a man!" Wan Chuan scoffed.

The man of the earth suddenly got up and said, "Please don't laugh at a dying man!" "Shout! What does it have to do with us whether you die or not, I really don't know what to do, big brother, let's go! "Wu Bao is disdainful." If your wife is gone and you still have parents, do you want to be an unfilial person? Chen Jintang continued to ask. My parents have long since died, and I am looking for them! "Don't you have children!" "I've been married for less than two months and haven't had children!" "Big brother! Don't talk to him, let him die! To be alive is also a waste! Wan Chuan was impatient.

This kung fu Chen Jintang saw the corner of the book spread out on the ground, and couldn't help but open the package with curiosity, and found that there was a book inside, and took a closer look at Sun Tzu's Art of War. Chen Jintang secretly said in surprise: "It seems that you are a literate and hyphenated person, why can't you think about it, in case your wife lives in the world, won't you be wronged?" "The people of the earth are silent. Chen Jintang paid attention and said, "Take him with you!" ”

Wu Bao and Wan Chuan were a little reluctant to pick up the people on the ground and leave, "You let go of me, it's unreasonable!" You can do it! Let me die! "After walking less than a mile, this guy says he's hungry! Chen Jintang ordered to take out dry food and salted meat. The fellow gobbled up like a hungry wolf, waited for him to finish eating, and continued on his way, and soon it was dark and they camped under a big tree.

After eating, Chen Jintang signaled, and Wan Chuan understood that he stepped forward and tied this kid's hands. "What are you doing here?" "What? Don't you know in your heart, if you seek death again, how bad luck it will be! Wan Chuan said disdainfully. Then the brothers lay down on the ground with their clothes, and for a long time the boy said, "I know that you are good people, and you cannot go any further!" ”“weishenme？” Chen Jintang asked.

"This place is called White Tiger Mountain, and there is a group of bandits on the mountain. The bandits are robbing the road here, and no one has walked this mountain road for a long time! "How do you know?" "My name is Seinfeld, and I'm from Song Village. My wife was snatched away by bandits. I've been here for half a month, and I don't want to live anyway, but I haven't met them. I see that you are carrying silver taels on your backs, so the bandits must be on your attention! ”

"Brother Song, it looks like you want to open it, but you don't have to worry, we have a way to deal with the bandits!" Then Chen Jintang ordered Seinfeld to be untied. "I see that you are extraordinary, but there are few people and only one person, I heard that there are hundreds of thieves!" Seinfeld said. "What are you hypocritical, if the thieves hear my eldest brother's name, they will definitely be scared, what are you worried about?" Wan Chuan scoffed.

"May I ask the name of the hero?" In the dark, Seinfeld sat up, "My name is Chen Jintang!" "Could it be that you are Chen Jintang, the Whistling King?" The Whistling King didn't dare to be, it was down! Seinfeld turned around and knelt on the ground and said, "King Whistling is above, please bow down to my little brother!" "What does that mean?" "My parents are the Twist Army, they both died in battle, I have heard of your prestige!" "It turned out to be a descendant of the Twist Army, brother, please get up!" Then the bonfire was rekindled, and the conversation was very harmonious. Zuihou Seinfeld decided to follow Chen Jintang.

The next day, I continued on the road, and in the afternoon the mountain became more and more precipitous, and suddenly there was a whistle, and I saw a group of people and horses pouring out on both sides of the mountain forest in front of me, and there were 100 people at a glance. "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, and I want to hit here to buy road wealth!" A loud minion shouted. The group stopped advancing, Wan Chuan stepped forward and clasped his fists with both hands and said calmly: "Heroes, Chen Jintang, the king of the whistling king, is here, please open the net!" ”

The thieves were obviously a little shaken, and a big man came out of the crowd to visit. Da Han was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his age was about 40 years old. “haha！ Sure enough, it was the Whistling King, and it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple! Chen Jintang looked at it carefully and said excitedly: "Could it be the Black Flag leader Ge Shixiong?" ”“haha！ It was in the next step, thinking that 5 years had passed since Shandong was goodbye, but I didn't expect that the Whistling King was still alive. ”

"It's nothing more than stealing a living, I didn't expect Brother Ge to fall into the grass here," Chen Jintang said politely. Ge Shixiong smiled: "There is no way, the brothers have to live." Presumably Brother Chen is mixing well now. "There! There, it's nothing more than eating and waiting for death, and now doing some small business to get by! "Chen Jintang hits haha." Brother Chen, where is this going? "I'm going to Shandong!" "Brother Chen, you and my brother, please go to the cottage to talk about it!" Ge Shixiong said boldly. "Brother Ge is so bold, my brother will go up the mountain for a few days!" Chen Jintang was even happier.

This White Tiger Village is located on the central peak of White Tiger Mountain, and the terrain is very steep. Entering the cottage meeting hall, Ge Shixiong ordered to serve wine and food, and he wanted to get drunk with Chen Jintang before resting. After a while, the food and drinks were served. In this era, it was basically self-brewed water wine, and the alcohol content was only more than ten degrees. Before drinking, Chen Jintang glanced at Wan Chuan, and Wan Chuan kicked Wu Bao willingly. Seinfeld was anxious and single-mindedly wanted to find out his wife's whereabouts.

When Chen Jintang saw Seinfeld's expression, he nodded, meaning to tell him not to worry. After a few bowls of wine, Chen Jintang disguised himself as dizzy. “haha！ Brother Chen is massive, what's wrong today? I look at the old brother's face full of red light, is it a comfortable life that grinds out the male! Ge Shixiong laughed. Brother Ge, I'm really embarrassed, I'm tired from the journey. Tomorrow, after being full of energy, I will have a hearty time with Brother Ge. Chen Jintang pretended to be ashamed. That's it! Brother Chen was tired from the journey. I have a couple of ladies here. Although it is not beautiful, there is no problem in quenching thirst, how about Brother Chen quenching his fatigue? "Brother Xie Ge is good, brother has a heart!"

Entering the room to rest, Chen Jintang immediately became energetic, and at this time Seinfeld was already drunk. "Damn, Ge Shixiong, this kid has become a thief, it's really not a thing, big brother, I don't want to live here for a day, it's too unlucky!" Wan Chuan scolded. "Look at Ge Shixiong's face, I don't have any appetite at all!" Wu Bao said angrily. "Ge Shixiong, this kid is not the same as us, this guy has a heart for us! Don't look at him politely, but his eyes have been on the package we are carrying silver taels! Chen Jintang said with a tiger face.

"Damn, I'm going to kill this kid right away?" Wu Bao pulled out his short gun. "Don't act rashly, there are many of them right now, we will act when the opportunity arises!" Chen Jintang said calmly. Wan Chuan said: "If they choose to do it, it must be after dark!" "We're going to keep it the same, we're going to brake quietly, okay, we're going to rest for a while, they won't do it until it's dark." After Chen Jintang finished speaking, he glanced at the bullet of the revolver and inserted it into his waist.

At this time, Ge Shixiong and several henchmen are planning. "King, the silver taels they carry are estimated to be a few hundred taels, enough for us to live happily for half a year." "King, they are already drunk, and they don't know how to take the opportunity to kill them?" Ge Shixiong waved his hand to stop: "No, you can't let the brothers be suspicious because of this, after dark, a few of you will act without knowing it!" ”
