Cao Jun pulled the official who reported the news and asked, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”

"Just glanced at it from afar, about forty or fifty people, all heads, how is this good...... Or do we go back the way we came? ”

"Retreat, but you can't retreat."

"I can only move forward."

Others don't know, but Cao Jun knows that although this Peach Blossom Mountain also has two leaders, the martial arts cannot be compared with Erlong Mountain.

In the ranking of the heroes of the Water Margin behind, it is only Kankan who has entered the top 100, ranking more than 90.

After a contest with Lu Zhishen, Cao Jun now has a preliminary understanding of his own strength, the strong in the Water Margin world is like a cloud, although he is not invincible, but it is not a problem to protect himself.

It should be enough to take these two people.

What's more, the journey of thousands of miles is only half of it now.

There is a way that is one blow, then declines, and three is exhausted.

Everyone is tired now, and if this indomitable momentum is gone, the journey ahead will be even more difficult.

"Everyone keep up with the team, don't be left alone."

With a wave of one hand, Cao Jun rode to the front.

The terrain is getting higher and higher.

Finally, on a relatively flat platform in front of them, the two groups of men and horses looked at each other.

On the county government's side, there are still about 20 people, all of whom are panting and sweating.

The team didn't panic.

After everyone put down the burden on their shoulders, they all picked up their weapons and lined up.

The servants were in front, and the coolies were behind, closely following behind Cao Jun.

On the side of the robbers, the momentum is much higher.

There were two people standing at the front.

One man was armless, wearing a tight-fitting soft armor and holding a spear.

With a big waist and a round waist, he stood there motionless, and there was a fierce momentum coming out of his body.

There was a man next to him, even bigger than him.

Dressed in a soft embroidered armor for performing arts, with a domed helmet on his head, he dominates one side with his bare hands, and he doesn't look like a good match.

Behind the two, there were also two rows of little Rolls with sticks in hand.

They were silent.

There is a bleak atmosphere in the ranks, rushing to the face.

In the crack of a boulder next to it, there is also a flag, embroidered with a dark red peach blossom, waving in the mountain wind.

Cao Jun rode alone, standing at the front, squinting at the two of them, with an uncertain expression on his face.

The two sides watched for a moment, and Xiao Luo Luo came out to shout.

"This place is Peach Blossom Mountain, which way is coming, and the name is fast."

On the side of the servants, there are mature and stable people, and after asking for instructions next to the master, they crossed Cao Jun and came out to talk.

"I, the businessmen from Yanggu County, want to live here, and I also ask you heroes to make it convenient and offer your own benefits."

This kind and wealthy answer is the handiwork of the master.

After listening to it, the other side did not speak.

The two leaders at the front gathered together and discussed for a while.

"Dare to ask, the one in front of you is Cao Dutou, who killed the tiger with his bare hands in Jingyanggang, Yanggu County? Please also take a step to speak. ”

Cao Jun was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect his reputation to spread here.

If you can get through it safely, it's the best.

After hearing this, he arched his hand forward, and after dismounting, he walked forward more than ten meters, holding a wine gourd in one hand, standing four or five meters in front of the two.

"It's Cao, I don't know what the two leaders call them?"

The man with the green gun replied first: "It turned out to be the head of Cao Dutou, a good man who fought tigers, who has been famous for a long time, and I don't want to meet today." ”

"We are a group of poor men entrenched in this Peach Blossom Mountain, leaning on the mountain to beg for food."

"I am the second leader Zhou Tong, a friend on the rivers and lakes loves me and gives me the nickname 'Little Overlord', and this one next to me is my brother, Li Zhong, the tiger general."

"Today, the two of us, we have been waiting here for a long time, and I congratulate the heroes to pass the customs."

Cao Jun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly leaned over and bowed with his fists, "It turned out that the two leaders were in front of each other, Cao was ashamed and didn't dare to be, today's kindness will be recorded for the time being, if there is a chance in the future, it will be repaid twice." ”

"Cao Dutou is polite."

After some politeness on both sides, the master would come to the matter, and among the accompanying goods, he picked two barrels of pickled dried fish and sent them as a thank you gift.

This dried fish was bought temporarily in a passing town, and it can't be left for a long time, so when you camp out on weekdays, you only need to grill it over the fire, and you can eat with the steamed buns.

This time it should be borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.

Although the courtesy is light, it shows your heart.

The two parties politely exchanged pleasantries for a moment, and the two leaders waved their hands, and none of them disappeared with their subordinates.

Leave the intersection to them cleanly.

Seeing this, the master stroked the goatee under his forehead and sighed: "I didn't expect Cao Dutou to have such a reputation in this Shandong, fighting tigers and heroes, and his reputation is well deserved!" ”

This was something he didn't expect before he set off.

Everyone didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly carried the cart and passed the Peach Blossom Mountain.

Not long after a few people left, the tiger general Li Zhong and the little overlord Zhou Tong returned to the place where they were standing just now, staring at the figures of the county officials on the way down the mountain and wondering.

"Brother, can you recognize that the young man with the wine gourd is the tiger hero who beat Lu Ti Ha and turned around and admits defeat?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten."

Li Zhong stared at the young figure riding on the horse on the way down without saying a word, his face was solemn.

"Nalu Tisha once worked as a monk in Wutai Mountain, and it is rumored that he can uproot the weeping willows, and he has a thousand catties, and you and I are not necessarily his opponents when they join forces, this young man can defeat the bald head, not you and I can provoke."

"I met Orion at the foot of Erlong Mountain in the early years, and he knew that I had a correspondence with me after the grass fell on Peach Blossom Mountain, but he specially explained these words in his letters."

Zhou Tong was still unwilling, and couldn't help but stomp his feet after hearing this, and sighed: "Hey! But it's a pity, I see that their goods are heavy, and they come out of the county government, they must be with wealth, if they can succeed, we can also learn from the Chao Tianwang of Liangshan, wave the flag, and vote from all directions, then we will have money and food, and we don't have to nest in this place where birds don't and be sulking. ”

Li Zhong thought more thoroughly.

He comforted Zhou Daodao: "Just the head of Cao Du, who fought the tiger, we can't take it down, and the goods are not ours, what is the pity." ”

"Now like this, it is not a loss to be a favor, not to mention, I still have a back hand."

Zhou Tong was also shocked when he heard this, and asked, "Brother has a good plan?" ”

Li Zhong smiled, his eyes showing smugness.

"It's nature."

"Looking at their itinerary all the way, since they are heading to Beijing, I will immediately send a letter to the king of Chao, which can be regarded as leaving a way out for the future."

"I can't wait for this full of goods, but I have the strongmen of Liangshan who can take it."
