One day later, Lin Chong and his wife and the maid Jin'er came to Yuncheng County, Shandong, and sure enough, when they asked the neighbors about the place, they didn't know that there was a place.

On this day, I came to a liquor store near the lake, and there was a wooden sign hanging at the door of the store, which read "White Wood Hotel".

Lin Chong and his entourage opened the curtain and went in, only to see that the table was bright and bright, the wine and meat were fragrant, and it was also a clean shop. It's just that there are very few diners and drinkers.

The three of them sat down at a table with a view of the lake.

The shopkeeper hurriedly came to greet him: "May I ask how much wine the three guest officers have?" ”

Lin Chong said: "Let's play two corners of wine first." What are the snacks? ”

Xiao Er said: "Raw and cooked beef, fat goose and tender chicken." ”

Lin Chong said: "First cut two catties of cooked beef, and then come to a tender chicken to make a pot of 'three cups of chicken'." ”

Xiao Er said: "Dare to ask the guest officer, but which three cups?" ”

Lin Chong said: "A glass of wine, a glass of oil, and a glass of sauce." The whole chicken is plucked and the internal organs are removed, brushed with these three cups of seasoning, wrapped in oiled paper lotus leaves, buried in the ground, and a pile of firewood is made on it. ’”

Xiao Er didn't know what to do, but he understood the method, so he had to agree, and greeted the kitchen loudly: "Two corners of good wine, two catties of cooked beef, and a pot of 'three cups of chicken'!" ”

At a table near the counter of the storefront, a businessman dressed in brocade clothes was drinking alone, and when he heard the conversation between Lin Chong and Xiao Er, he seemed to be touched. But it was only for a moment, and he was leisurely sipping wine and eating a plate of peanuts in front of him.

The shopkeeper quickly served wine and cooked beef, and when he brought the cups and chopsticks, Lin Chong asked, "I wonder if the little brother knows the location of 'Shuibo Liangshan'?" As he spoke, he quietly handed a silver tael to his hand.

Xiao Er's eyes rolled, and he lowered his voice and said, "Don't hide it from the guest officer, this 'Shuibo Liangshan' is not far from here." Just ......"

Lin Chong's and his entourage's eyes lit up and looked at each other. Lin Chong urged him, "Just what? ”

The shopkeeper continued: "It's just that the guest officer doesn't know, the passage into the 'Shuibo Liangshan' is all waterway, and the reeds are dense along the way, and the strange ones are staggered, not to mention the outsiders, even the neighbors know the way, and they also need to pick a sunny weather, pick a light boat, or mark everywhere, or someone to guide them, before they can go ashore." People say 'eight hundred miles of water to park Liangshan', and the difficulty of entering the mountain can be seen. ”

Lin Chong continued to ask: "I wonder if the little brother can find a boat owner and bother to lead him down the mountain?" ”

The shopkeeper hesitated, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw the businessman at the counter dressed as if he had suddenly discovered a new world, and ran to Lin Chong's table and said, "Isn't this Brother Zhang's eldest brother and sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm?" ”

Without waiting for the surprised three people to speak, he instructed Xiao Er: "Xiao Er, reorganize the cups and plates, I want to invite Brother Zhang's family to the elegant seat to catch up with the old days." ”

The shopkeeper Nuo Nuo said yes, and led the four of them to a single room.

As soon as he entered the door, the businessman clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency is the head of Lin Chonglin?" ”

Lin Chong returned the salute and said, "It's exactly below." What is the ...... under the foot? ”

The man laughed and said, "Offended, offended!" Under the surname Zhu Minggui, people are called 'dry land law'. ”

Lin Chong seemed to have found the organization, and he was overjoyed: "It turned out to be the leader of Zhu, and the junior brother was Lin Chong who came to defect with the letter of Chai Jinchai's big official." It's just that how does Leader Zhu know it? ”

Zhu Guidao: "Who doesn't know the 'leopard head' of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo? It's just that Captain Gao's secret wanted is only in the counties and cities around Tokyo, and it is overwhelming. Lin Jiaotou is also bold and takes his family to walk in the rivers and lakes. The practice of "three cups of chicken" implies the allusion of Lin Jiaotou and the three people of Lin Jiaotou and the "Chai Jin" Chai Daguan, "no need to use water, stabilize the chicken body", implying the "water" and "mountain" of "Shuibo Liangshan". Brother, I paid special attention, and sure enough, the head of the Lin sect was here. Providence, providence! ”

Lin Chong stroked his palms and laughed: "What a 'dry land law' Zhu Guizhu leader, Lin Chong's riddles have all been guessed. What a master! Please ask Leader Zhu to introduce Lin Chong's family into the mountain to pay homage, and the leaders and brothers will do it together. ”

Zhu Gui happily agreed, and saw Lin Niangzi and the entourage maid again, reset the banquet, and saluted one by one, no problem.

When he was ready to stop, Zhu Guiqing took a bow, walked to a water pavilion in the hotel, and shot a whistle arrow at the depths of the water lake. After a while, a small boat emerged from the lush reeds. Zhu Gui led Lin Chong and his entourage onto the boat, and taught people to carry their luggage and belongings, and then left the water pavilion and sailed towards the depths of the reeds.

A good water park Liangshan, only this waterway with nine bends and eighteen bends is like an endless labyrinth, layered, complex and vast. There are also various sentinel points with secret joints, and patrol boats are constantly coming and going, and they are heavily guarded and do not leak.

After walking back and forth for many miles of waterway, I got to the land and went ashore. The guard post on the shore had already reported to the cottage, and a guard came to greet Zhu Gui and Lin Chong.

This cottage is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, with banners and heavy organs, it is really difficult for even a bird to fly into the walled city.

When I arrived at the Juyi Hall, I saw the three leaders led by Wang Lun, Du Qian, and Song Wan, sitting in the upper position. Zhu Gui stood beside Lin Chong and his party.

Lin Chong, Mrs. Lin and her family members met with the leaders, conveyed Chai Jin's letters and gifts, and stated their wishes to join the family.

After hearing this, Wang Lun, the "white-clothed showman", still sat stiffly, and thought in his heart: "I am a down-and-out scholar, so I have no choice but to move here with Na Du to fall into the grass, and then pull Song Wan and Zhu Gui to lead this cadre. Zhu Gui is in charge of intelligence work and reconnaissance, and it is not enough to be away from the mountains all day. Du Song and the others, plus themselves, are really inferior to Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army in Tokyo, in terms of martial arts and intelligence. If he is accepted into the gang, he will lose his position sooner or later. But this person was recommended by Chai Jin, if he didn't accept it, his face over there would not be good-looking. Cease! Cease! Cease! still doesn't care about Chai Jin's kindness, just shirk, if he insists on joining the gang, there will be a few problems. ”

Wang Lun thought about it, so he rushed towards Lin with a smile on his face: "Sect leader Lin has come to this point, and he has lost his welcome and atoned for his sins." It's just that there is little porridge in this temple, and it is difficult to invite Jinzun. Please also ask Lin Jiaotou to plan elsewhere. ”

Lin Chong didn't say anything, and Zhu Gui next to him continued: "Leader Wang, the head of the Lin Sect is the person introduced by the Chai officials, and he is skilled in bows and horses, and his martial arts are outstanding. If Sect Leader Lin can join the gang, he will definitely be able to strengthen the soldiers and horses and train the sergeants. If it doesn't work, Chai Daguan's side must not look good. Please also ask Wang Jiaotou to think twice. ”

That Du Qian and Song Wan were just careless and silent.

Only Wang Lun said: "The pros and cons of things, I will take care of myself." It's just that the rules on this mountain require the payment of a 'certificate of nomination'. ”

Lin Chong said: "I can read, please beg for paper and pen, I can write myself." ”

Zhu Gui explained: "Lin Jiaotou doesn't know that this 'letter of nomination' is not a document. When the cottage is occupied, it is necessary to make a case, or rob money, or kill people, which is called 'falling grass with a sound, and blood on the knife'. ”

Lin Chong said: "Lin killed unrighteous people and took ill-gotten gains. It's not that hard. ”

Wang Lun said lightly: "Then please ask Sect Leader Lin and his family to repair it today, and deliver the 'Vote of Nomination' tomorrow." ”

immediately accepted the gift and placed the Lin family's residence without mentioning it.

The next day, Lin Chong and his wife let Jin'er rest in the room, and then the two went out of Shuibo Liangshan and took the small road to wait for the passing merchants and strongmen.

After a while, two strange-looking men walked on the road. Just looking at the face, it really doesn't look like a good stubble.

One was tall, with fiery red hair and a red face, and carried a long-handled simple knife; The other is short and obscene, especially with pointed rat teeth, which makes people forget their faces at a glance. But this short lewd man carried a long burden that exceeded his own, and he didn't know what was in it.

Lin Chong and his wife handed each other a color, each took a spear, one in front of the other, and intercepted the way and the way out of the two.

Lin Chong first saluted and said: "The two of you are invited, and the couple must not offend the two of them and take some entanglements." If it's convenient, please donate some, and we will double the payment the day after tomorrow. ”

The two men looked at each other for some reason, and then laughed.

The tall red-haired man smiled: "This is the first time I have met this mandarin duck who robbed the road. Come on, come on, I'll accompany you through a few tricks. Will the husband go first, the wife go first, or will the husband and wife go together? ”

Lin Niangzi shot a spear, like a long snake, and took the red-haired man directly.

The red-haired man's martial arts are also good, and a long-handled simple knife makes it have a board and an eye. Lin Chong and the short lewd man didn't help anyone, so they hugged their hands and watched.

After more than a hundred rounds of fighting, Lin Chong had a task in his body, regardless of fighting more and less, he joined the battle with a gun. The short, lewd man held his breath and watched steadily.

Gradually, the red-haired man was a little overwhelmed, and jumped out of the battle group with a loud roar, and beckoned the obscene man to come over to help with a complaining face. The lewd man unhurriedly untied the long burden on his back and took out two strange things.

It turned out to be two spindle-like metal objects, surrounded by floral patterns, and two glass-like gems at each end, which shone dazzlingly from time to time.

Rao is Lin Chong and his wife are well-informed, and they have never seen such a peculiar prop.

The lewd man took one for himself and threw the other one to the red-haired man. The red-haired man threw away the long-handled Pu knife and took over the "spindle"-like metal object, intending to use it as a weapon.

The four fought again.

The lewd man's martial arts are mediocre, but the red-haired man should still not be the opponent of Lin Chong and his wife. It's just that there is only one thing that is amazing, and the two men who took these two strange weapons suddenly fought more and more bravely.

Lin Chong and his wife are full of spirits, the spear makes it like a meteor chasing the moon, coupled with the tacit understanding between the husband and wife, it is pleasing to the eye. Looking at the two men again, although the moves are all mediocre, the "spindle" blade seems to be extremely hard, holding the sword as a knife, it is completely integrated, and it actually makes the two spears unable to get close for a while.

Suddenly, there were two "bangs", and the heads of the Lin family's spears were broken together.
