Chapter 46: The Storm Rises Again

When the eunuch prayed sincerely, Wenda and Li Cheng's search team really found Suo Chao.

Suo Chao Zhou Jin is not a professional thief after all, these two go all the way, and they are all on the road, and it is difficult not to find them.

"Master, it's no good, the chasing soldiers are following!" Seeing the dust behind him, Zhou Jin's face changed greatly. He is the same as Suo Chao, he has a straight temper, Zhu Shao is strategic, and when he thinks of saving his master, he immediately entangles himself with a gang of brothers to do it, and he doesn't have any backhand - of course, this kind of character is in love with Suo Chao, otherwise Suo Chao would not accept Zhou Jin as an apprentice.

Since being rescued, Suo Chao has been in a daze, and when he heard Zhou Jin talking about the chasing soldiers, he didn't look back, but just said casually: "The chasing soldiers are coming, but what?" ”

Zhou Jin immediately said: "Master, get off the horse and drill the forest!" The younger brother led the people to continue to move forward and lure the pursuers away! ”

Suo Chao suddenly became angry: "The eldest husband is bright and upright, and he does everything he can, why do I have a clear conscience, but I have to be shouted and beaten by everyone like a street rat and hide in Tibet?" Zhou Jin, take these brothers away! Lao Tzu stays here and breaks the queen for you! ”

Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly: "After the junior brother stays and breaks with the master, he can save a horse to come out." Brothers, go! We'll see you in the next life. ”

Among the more than 20 people, one person immediately said: "Since you have done everything to rob people on the road, are you still afraid of death?" Tihar and the lieutenants will look down on our brethren too little! ”

Some people were still hesitant, but when they saw the chasing horses in the rear getting closer and closer, they knew that there was no hope of escaping, so they simply gritted their teeth and broke the boat: "Live and die together today!" ”

Suo Chaozhou was cautious, seeing this righteousness, he didn't say much, and with an order, more than 20 people formed a circle, pulled the horses over and blocked them, stood on the road, and waited for the pursuers to arrive.

After a short time, the pursuers rushed in and surrounded Suo Chao. Li Cheng Wenda walked out side by side and took a look at Suo Chao.

Seeing Wenda Li Cheng, Suo Chao said secretly in his dazed heart, "If the eldest husband dies, he will die, how can he kill each other with his compatriots?" At that moment, he came out abruptly and bowed to Wenda Li Cheng: "Suo Chao has failed Enxiang and the two eunuchs, and there is no redemption for ten thousand deaths, so I am willing to take the axe." I just ask the two prisoners to be gracious and spare the brothers behind them! ”

Zhou Jin and the others looked at each other, they were all old Hebei departments, and when they saw their old bosses, they also couldn't fight to the death. Zhou Jin didn't say a word, abandoned the bow and gun, and led everyone to kneel behind Suo Chao, resigned to fate.

Wenda Li Cheng stood on horseback and said in an extremely arrogant tone: "You hillbillies are also respectful when you see the imperial army!" In that case, let us ask you—did you just see that the thief had passed by? ”

Suo Chao Zhou's eyes widened, and he was stunned.

Li Cheng smiled again: "It turns out that those thieves got off their horses and went to the forest." Little guys, this hillbilly has a meritorious job in ventilating and reporting the news, reward them! ”

A few colonels agreed, and sent over a suit of armor, a bag of money, a few cowhide bags full of dry food and drinking water, and Suo Chao's gold-dipped axe.

Wen Da Ma whip pointed at Suo Chao and shouted: "You hillbillies get up quickly, don't get in the way of the old man catching the thief!" ”

Li Cheng said to himself: "Now that the army is in chaos, if a thief throws himself into Liangshan, and he never comes out of the water, it will be difficult to catch him forever!" ”

As he spoke, the two of them returned to their horses and shouted: "Little ones, the thieves are in the woods on both sides of the road we came from, and the Hui army will search me carefully!" When I returned to the camp, I showed my kindness, and the collective recorded third-class merits, and everyone was rewarded! ”

The officers and soldiers agreed, and turned around with a smile.

Suo Chao kowtowed in the mud and dust, holding his breath silently, but he had already burst into tears.

The pursuers came and went quickly, leaving Suo Chao and the others in a dream. After a while, Zhou Jin asked, "Master, what should I do next?" ”

Suo Chao got up from the ground, wiped a handful of mud tears from his face, and said angrily: "Li Dujian has pointed out a clear path for us, and now, we have to force Liangshan!" ”

Blocking the road and intercepting prisoners, such a big adversity has been done, and there is no resistance in the hearts of this cadre. At the moment, he cleaned up neatly, turned a big corner, and prepared to go around the official barracks and go to Qingzhou to vote for Ximenqing.

In the middle of the line, a whistle was suddenly heard, and ambushes rose all around, surrounding everyone in the heart. Suo Chao and the others were about to make a move, but when they saw the crowd in front of them, one person came out, and said with a smile: "Is Suo Ti Shi okay?" ”

When Suo Chao looked at it fixedly, it turned out that this person was the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi. Suo Chao had mixed feelings in his heart, and stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Yang Tishi." The younger brother is now in trouble, and I have a national difficulty in surrendering, so I have to go to Liangshan to join the gang, and I hope that Yang Tizhi will introduce me! ”

Yang Zhi was overjoyed and said: "Ximen Siquan heard that Suoti Ha had eaten a traitor and was caught, and he was so upset that he couldn't go. Because we are familiar with the roads in Erlongshan, we ask my younger brother to control it in all directions, and we must save Suoti. Who knows that the Ji people have their own natural appearance, and Suo Tiha has not only already escaped, but is also willing to go up the mountain to join the gang, which is gratifying! As he spoke, the little minions offered food and wine.

Liang Zhongshu banned alcohol in the army, Suo Chao has been weak for a long time since returning to the barracks, smelling the aroma of wine, greedy insects, three bowls in a row, and couldn't help but secretly think: "In this world, it's better to be a bandit!" Thinking of Liang Zhongshu, I couldn't help but feel sad.

At this time, Zhou Jin also talked to Yang Zhi: "Does Yang Tizhi still remember Zhou Jin who competed for merit outside the Dongguo Gate in Beijing back then?" Yang Zhi saw the old man again, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, most of the friendships in the army were made, and when he talked about the old things, not only did he not get sick, but he became closer.

talked and laughed all the way, and unconsciously returned to Qingzhou City. Ximen Qingwen brought all the heroes out to greet him, and Suo Chao stepped forward to bow down: "Suo Chao is willing to vote for Liangshan!" ”

Ximenqing hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "I know that Brother Suo Chao will come!" Amid the cheers of the crowd, the heroes entered the camp and set up wine to congratulate.

In the official barracks, the eunuch heard that Li Cheng was handing over orders to Liang Zhongshu: "Suo Chao's house, twelve points of cunning, along the way, even tricks, led the young generals astray, and when they turned out, the guys had already gone far!" The young generals are not doing well, please punish the adults! ”

Liang Zhongshu's heart was bright, and he said leisurely: "Suo is super wise and foolish, and he is not comparable to an idler." The two prisoners don't have to blame themselves, this time they are chasing and escaping, there is no merit and hard work, so let's go down and rest! ”

Turning around, Liang Zhongshu said to the eunuch and the second eunuch of the palace road: "Suo Chao is on the run, this official will definitely transfer the document to the criminal department, and the whole world will hang the sea fishing documents, and he will be able to capture them." ”

After speaking, Liang Zhongshu Shi Shiran got up and went out of the account, leaving the eunuch and the second eunuch of the palace road, with big eyes and small eyes. Helplessly, the eunuch had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to Tokyo to take away the crime of losing Qin. Fortunately, he is also Yang Jian's close person, so he doesn't have to be a military station, just reprimand two sentences and it's over.

Of course, Liang Zhongshu was also reprimanded at the same time. Liang Zhongshu was ashamed and brave, reorganized the golden drum, erected the flag gun again, and came to Qingzhou City to challenge. Who knew that for three days in a row, Liang Shan let the officials and soldiers scold him in every way, but he hung up the war-free card and did not come out.

Liang Zhongshu was wondering, and suddenly probed the Malay newspaper: "Lord Qiyu, something is wrong!" ”

Everyone in the military tent was stunned. Liang Zhongshu did not move, and said indifferently: "What's the alarm?" ”

The little army who visited the letter shouted: "In the past three days, Qingming, the west gate of Liangshan, has closed the camp and not come out, but secretly has quietly removed most of the people, leaving only the Hu family to guard Qingzhou, but he himself led the Liangshan brigade to attack the Daimyo's mansion!" ”

When Liang Zhongshu heard this, he felt as if he had received a thunderbolt in the middle of his head, and he stumbled on the handsome chair, unable to speak for a long time. The elite soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion all came with Liang Zhongshu's expedition to Qingzhou, and only the old and weak were left in the city.

In the tent, all the generals in Hebei panicked, most of their relatives and family wealth were in the city of the Daimyo's mansion, if the city was broken, then it would be repaid? Everyone stepped out of the ranks and said side by side: "My lord, saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, please make a quick decision!" ”

There is no need for them to urge, Liang Zhongshu's own wife is in the Daimyo's mansion, that is Cai Jing Cai's precious daughter, in case of loss, Liang Zhongshu will die and have no place to be buried! Barely struggling out of the chaos, Liang Zhongshu squeezed out a smile to the second prison army of the palace road: "The two prison soldiers, the lower officials have something to discuss. ”

The palace eunuch saw that Liang Zhongshu's face was so bitter that he could grow Coptis chinensis, and his heart was full of joy, but on the surface, he still made up a mourning expression, and said in a tone of reciting the eulogy: "The left-behind adults have something to say, but it's okay to say it." ”

Liang Zhongshu suppressed the chaotic mood, took a deep breath and said: "The Daimyo Mansion is the land of my Great Song Dynasty's soldiers to meet the enemy Khitan, in case of loss, the foundation of the country is unstable. Huyan's rebellion is just a disease of scabies, but if the Daimyo's Mansion is lost, it is enough to shake the world! I, Liang Shijie, guarded the land and the Daimyo's mansion, but I couldn't be this sinner through the ages, so I couldn't say it, so I had to return to the army in the starry night! Under the city of Qingzhou, I had to entrust it to the two supervisors, and when the lower officials calmed the troubles of the henchmen of the Daimyo's mansion, and coerced the victorious division back to the army, Keqingzhou, Dinghuyan, it must be like a bamboo! ”

The hearts of the two eunuchs blossomed: "Liang Zhongshu, you also have today?" The heart is beautiful, and the mouth is even sharper, and the Taoist eunuch said: "The Liangshan thief Kou is wise and foolish, and he is not comparable to an idler." The left-behind adults don't have to blame themselves, let's hurry back to the army! When we catch up with the Liangshan thieves, we will definitely be able to win and succeed, and at that time, our family will say hello to Lord Liang. ”

The palace eunuch took the opportunity to seize power: "The affairs under the city of Qingzhou are naturally taken over by me and the Dao brothers, with the help of the two generals Shan Tingqi and Wei Dingguo, and it is expected that there will be no chaos, so don't worry about the left-behind adults!" ”

At this time of burning his eyebrows, Liang Zhongshu no longer cared about the benefits of talking with such eunuchs, so he only cared about his own family and horses, and returned to the Daimyo's mansion in the starry night.

When it was late, it had arrived in Zishui, Liang Zhongshu was so anxious that he ordered the soldiers to cross the river overnight. In the middle of the crossing, I suddenly heard a cannon in the forest by the water, lit countless lamp balls and torches, and someone screamed like thunder: "Liang Zhongshu, where are you going?" The old man has been waiting here for a long time under the orders of Brother Ximenqing! "This is exactly what it is:

The red flames rose in the forest, and the black wind swept on the water. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
