In the territory of Qizhou, a group of officers and soldiers, numbering about 200 people, walked on the official road, and escorted two prisoner wagons in the procession, in which the two prisoners were held, wearing white coarse cloth prison uniforms, unkempt hair, and their faces were as dead as ashes.

These two people are Hu Yanxuan and Wang Hou, for the two of them in Hezhong Mansion by Ma Taishou under the anger of the brought to Jingzhao Mansion, convicted and assigned to Salmon Island, Shamen Island is a small island, in the northwest of Penglai, Shandong Province, in the sea, the Song Dynasty belonged to Dengzhou Mansion, because of the remote location, surrounded by sea water, it has become an ideal place to detain criminals. According to the "Recent Events", during the Later Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, a deputy envoy of Jiedu who had lost the city was exiled here, and Shamen Island has been used as a place of exile for repeat offenders since then.

According to the "History of the Song Dynasty and the Criminal Law Chronicle", the flow is divided into several levels from heavy to light: "Matching, heavy, Shamen Island; secondly, the ridge table; secondly, three thousand miles to neighboring states; secondly, custodial; Second, relocation. "Thorn with Salmon Island is the harshest level.

Moreover, this prisoner who is often assassinated on Salmon Island is dead and lifeless, as long as he arrives on Salmon Island, it is the same as the death penalty.

A team of officers and soldiers walked on the road, led by the most powerful general under Ma Taishou, who also came out of the Western Army, and was recruited to Jingzhao Mansion by Zhou Yunqi, named Niu Leng, and had no other hobbies, just like to kill, whether it was friend or foe, the old, weak, sick and disabled, but not picky eaters.

On this day, the military horse walked to the territory of Qizhou, there is a small forest in front, just catching up with the strong wind, the winter wind can be said to be extremely cold, hit the face like a knife, Niu Leng rode on the horse, shouted to speed up the march, to the front of the woods to avoid the wind, and wait for the wind to be less and then hurry.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a tremor of the earth, and the battle-hardened Niu Leng was shocked, according to experience, this must be at least a cavalry group of thousands of people charging up to have such a big movement. At first, Niu Leng thought that there were thieves coming to rob the prisoner car, but then he thought about it, such a huge cavalry force, not to mention thieves, even the imperial court is only a few thieves and robbers, where will there be thieves and robbers, I immediately put my mind at ease, thinking that it was just a passing court military horse.

As the sound became louder and louder, a cloud of smoke and dust gradually appeared in front of him, the dust was flying, Niu Leng sat on the horse, looked at it fixedly, and was quite envious in his heart, how good it would be if such an elite cavalry and military horse were led by him, gradually, Niu Leng found that a big flag faintly appeared in the smoke and dust, with the word Huyan written on it, which should be the general's flag.

In a moment, the cavalry troops flew to Niu Leng's approach, knowing that at this time, Niu Leng saw the true face of this cavalry, black clothes and black armor, holding a spear, a member of the general, the head of the iron head of the sky, the lock golden Luo wiped the forehead, the seven stars nailed the soap robe, the black oil on the inlaid armor, riding a royal horse to kick the snow black horse, so that two water mill eight-edged steel whips, the left hand weighs 12 catties, the right hand weighs 13 catties, it really looks like Hu Yanzan.

Seeing the murderous aura of the cavalry on the opposite side, Niu Leng reacted at this time, where is the men and horses of the official army, but the cavalry of the Liangshan thieves, but now he found out that it was too late, and in an instant, Hu Yanzhuo rushed over first, the tiger's eyes were wide, and the steel whip in his hand fell heavily, and before Niu Leng could react, it was already a human head on the ground.

Where are the 200 officers and soldiers who are the opponents of Liangshan's elite people, and Liangshan sent the soldiers and horses of the general Hu Yanzhuo this time, more than 1,000 elites who have experienced a hundred battles, just one charge, the officers and soldiers were scattered, and they fled to death.

Eliminated the official army, Hu Yanzhuo flew directly off the horse, ran in front of the two prisoner cars in the middle in a few steps, waved the steel whip in his hand, and beat the prisoner car to pieces in a few strokes, and then ordered people to rescue Hu Yanzhuo and Wang Hou.

That Hu Yanzhuo, Wang Hou and the two got out of the car, and when they saw a general on the opposite side, Tiger and Tiger were mighty, a good general, Wang Hou didn't know Hu Yanzhuo, so how could Hu Yanzhuo not recognize the moment and exclaimed, and said: "Brother? How could it be you? Aren't you in Liangshanbo? ”

Hu Yanzhuo hugged his fist towards Hu Yanzhuo and Wang Hou, laughed, and said: "The younger brother has seen his cousin, he has seen General Wang, yes, the younger brother is in Liangshanbo, my brother Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai, Chao Tianwang heard that his cousin and General Wang were framed by traitors and exiled to Shamen Island, so he specially ordered the younger brother to lead the troops to come and rescue the two. ”

Hearing the words of his cousin Hu Yanzhuo, Hu Yanzhuo laughed and said: "Happy, I have long been disheartened with this bullshit court, thinking that I Hu Yanzhuo fought desperately on the battlefield on the frontier battlefield, and walked countless back and forth from the pile of dead people, but in the end, it still ended up like this, the dog official framed me and said that I colluded with the Liangshan thieves, then today I will go to Liangshan with my brother, so that they can confirm my charge." ”

"My cousin's name, my brother has heard about it for a long time, and when he heard that his brother was framed, he ordered me to rush over, if my brother can join Liangshan, everyone is really happy." Hu Yanzhuo was also overjoyed, now that the Hu family is the only one left with him and Hu Yanzhuo, it is great that the two brothers can join Liangshan together.

After finishing speaking, Hu Yanzhuo looked at Wang Hou, who was silent on the side, and immediately hugged Wang Hou's heavy fist and said: "General Wang is also a famous family, the court treats the general like this, why don't the generals go to Liangshan together, my Liangshan heroes do the right thing for the sky, ask for life for the people, do loyal things, protect the land and the people, my brother Chao Tianwang is the world's first-class hero, as the saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, now the Great Song Dynasty is terminally ill, there is no cure, why not do something great for the people." ”

Hu Yanxuan next to him also echoed and said: "Brother Dao, your ability is above the junior brother, how did the dog official frame you and me, have you forgotten Brother Dao, there is also an old general in the division, who has been loyal to the monarch and the country all his life, but what about being abandoned in the Hezhong Mansion and forced to commit suicide to serve the country, what is Brother Dao still hesitating about?" Is such a Great Song still worth our lives for? ”

Hearing Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Yanzhuo's words, Wang Hou sighed heavily, and after a long time, he said: "Brother, you are right, but my brother is now disheartened and unwilling to fight on the battlefield, just thinking about finding a quiet place to retreat to the mountains and forests. ”

"This ......" After hearing this, Hu Yanqiu had no choice, sighed, and stopped talking.

Hu Yanzhuo next to him also had no way at this time, suddenly, he had an idea, and said at the moment: "Everyone has their own ambitions, don't force it, General Wang doesn't want to return to the battlefield, the younger brother understands, but my brother Chao Gai brother is looking forward to seeing the general, why don't the general come to our Liangshan Shuibo for a few days, tell me to wait for the friendship of the landlord, and then make plans, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo's idea is that since I can't persuade you, then let you go to Liangshanbo, Brother Chao Gai is today's great hero, and he will definitely be able to convince Wang Hou.

And Wang Hou, hearing Hu Yanzhuo say this, he had just rejected others, and it was not good to refuse now, and after all, Liangshan's military horse had just saved himself, so he nodded at the moment, and agreed, and said: "Okay, I'll go to Liangshanbo to see this Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai, the rumors of the rivers and lakes are calloused, and I will also worship Xie Chao Tianwang in person for saving his life." ”

Seeing that Wang Hou agreed, Hu Yanzhuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, you just agreed, and it would be difficult to wait until you went to Liangshan and then came down.

Seeing that the task was completed, everyone was overjoyed, cleaned up the battlefield, and returned to Liangshanbo.

Along the way, Wang Hou and Hu Yanxuan were also secretly observing Liangshan's military horses, and finally had to secretly admire, there was no sergeant on the march to speak, it was very quiet, only the sound of hurrying, such a disciplined army, it is hard to believe that it was trained in a robber cottage that occupied the mountain as the king, and it was better than the Western Army.
