It is said that there are five or six hundred grass bandits in this "hero village", most of whom are refugees. The first three are kowtow brothers who worship incense. Zhu Youren, the owner of the village, was originally a talented person, a little bit of writing and ink, because of fraud in the examination field, he was denounced, seeing that there was no hope of entering the office, and he was imprisoned, so he scattered his wealth, gathered bandits, and fell into the grass in this Hutou Mountain. He is narrow-minded and easy to wield power, and everyone is afraid of him. Hu Fei, the second leader, and Yang Yi, the third leader, were originally anti-Jin righteous soldiers, but they fled due to defeat, and the government pursued them, so they had no choice but to take refuge in Zhu Youren with twenty or thirty brothers, and did this unscrupulous thing of robbing the house here!

But he said that Shang Xuhu was stopped by the arrow, and he had no plan in his heart, so he scolded: "In vain, this 'hero village' is called a 'hero village', all of them are cowardly, dare to do this hurtful thing, but they don't dare to fight me head-on, only care about hurting people with secret arrows, what kind of hero!" Those little minions were furious when they heard this, thinking that they really didn't know what to do, and dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, so a group of people besieged him with knives and guns, and shouted: "Where did the scoundrels come here to spread wildness, first kill him, and then see his hard mouth!" ”

Shang Xuhu didn't answer, and danced the sword to meet him, but in three or five together, several people were injured and fled, all shouting: "Good swordsmanship!" ”。 Shang Xuhu took advantage of the situation, grabbed a minion, put his sword against his chest, and shouted: "What a rampant thief! The little minion was frightened and told him to spare his life: "A good man spares his life!" Shang Xu Hu said: "I won't kill you, go and tell your master, if you let your wife and children go, if you don't let me go, I must suppress this Hutou Mountain!" The minion hurriedly thanked him, and ran back.

said that Zhu Youren kidnapped Lu Siniang, and saw that she was dignified and beautiful, and she was at a good age, so she felt frivolous in her heart. So he instructed his subordinates to settle the mother and son, and not to be disdainful. I was thinking about how to accomplish this good thing. Suddenly, I heard a report from a minion: "A reckless man from outside the village, asking for his wife and children, his kung fu is so good, he has injured several brothers, and he is now scolding in front of the village!" claims to raze this Tiger Head Mountain, no one dares to go up, hereby to report! ”

Zhu Youren was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "How many people have come from outside the village?" The minion reported: "There is only one person, standing with a sword, saying that he wants the owner of the village to answer!" Zhu Youren laughed when he heard this, and said: "I thought there was a lot of power, it turned out to be just a brave and reckless man, how dare I deceive no one in the village, go and invite the second and third masters to come here to discuss matters, and capture the man on the spot, so as not to harm my good deeds!" ”

The two brothers, Hu Fei and Yang Yi, were practicing the formation in the back mountain, and they didn't know anything about today's affairs. I entered the council hall and saw the owner of the village. Zhu Youren said: "There is a reckless man outside the village, who wants to break into the mountain gate, saying that he wants to raze this place, injuring a few of my brothers, no one can beat him, so please discuss countermeasures, but who dares to meet the thief, so as not to damage our prestige!" ”

Yang Yi laughed when he heard this: "I don't know who dares to boast like this!" Let's see how I capture him! Hu Fei said: "Since he dares to underestimate me, he must have some real skills, or I will meet him." Yang Yi stopped and argued: "Just a reckless man, Brother He Lao will do it, the two brothers will wait a minute, I will come when I go!" As he spoke, he picked up the knife and left, and Hu Fei instructed him later: "Be careful, don't just care about your ability!" ”

It is said that Yang Yi came to the front of the battle, thinking that this man was too deceitful, and he wanted to set foot on this Hutou Mountain with only one person. So he drank the crowd away and came alone. Shang Xuhu saw that a leader was carrying a knife forward, so he bowed down and said, "Your Excellency is the owner of the village?" Yang Yi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he raised his knife and slashed at it, and said casually: "Why do you need to capture the owner of the village?" I'm Yang Yi enough! ”

Shang Xuhu didn't say much, and the two intersected with their swords and fought. After fighting for more than 30 times, Yang Yi gradually felt that he was not supported, and his sword skills were scattered, while Shang Xuhu became more and more courageous, his sword was fierce, and his moves were deadly. At that time, Zhu Youren and Hu Fei were both upstairs watching the battle, and seeing that Yang Yi had fallen behind, Hu Fei shouted loudly: "Brother, go back, wait to ask the reason for the battle again!" Yang Yi also knew that he was invincible, but the other party was proficient in swordsmanship, and he couldn't get out for a while. As he was hesitating, the sword came from his back, unable to dodge, waiting to die. But when he saw the sword close in front of him, he suddenly folded over, only slashing through the collar. Yang Yi took advantage of the situation to jump out of the sword circle and retreated.

Yang Yi wondered in his heart, this person's kung fu is far above my generation, he could have taken my life lightly, why did his subordinates show mercy. Looking at that person again, he was sturdy and extraordinary, and he already had a sense of respect in his heart. Then he said: "Brother's fate is hard to disobey, I will go back, wait for me to ask the reason, and come back to you in the afternoon!" Shang Xuhu replied: "I respect you as a good man, and I will let you go, and replace your brother, I will also be the heroes of this 'hero village'!" ”

Yang Yi retreated to the village, and Mi said to Hu Fei: "This person has superb martial arts, excellent swordsmanship, and chivalrous demeanor in words and deeds. Today, he could have taken my life, but he intended to spare me not to die, and he was definitely not a person who intended to harm others! Hu Fei replied: "I watched from a distance in the watchtower, and I saw that this person was bold and overlooked, not like a villain." When he returned, he asked everyone, and he learned that the owner of the village had robbed his wife and children, so he came here to have a small family. Yang Yi said: "That Zhu Youren is narrow-minded and narrow-minded, and he has no talents, and he is not a person who has achieved great things. ”

Hu Fei said: "Having said that, he has the grace to accept us, if he hadn't taken him in the past, how could we be waiting for us today!" Yang Yi listened, groaned slightly, and then said: "You and my brother, I were originally heroes in the rivers and lakes, and we have long cherished the ambition of resisting gold, but now we are doing this business of robbing the house!" And what a long-term solution! I intend to make friends with that strong man, but I am afraid that the owner of the village will not allow it, so I am worried, I don't know what my brother wants? ”

Hu Fei smiled and said, "I also have this intention!" It's just that I don't know the details of the other party, and I didn't dare to say anything. I'll play against him again in the afternoon, find out, and then make countermeasures! If you get this helper in the village, you will be greatly boosted, gather heroes again, choose the opportunity to capture the state and county, and realize my long-cherished wish! ”

The two were discussing when they saw Zhu Youren entering the door with a dog-headed military division. As soon as Zhu Youren entered the door, he asked Yang Yike if he had been injured, and then provoked Hu Fei, and said: "That reckless man has a hateful face and bad intentions, he really has no one in his eyes, and he is ashamed of my brothers in the 'Hero Village'!" If the two masters dare not fight, teach me what kind of face to stand here! ”

Hu Feiyan said: "The owner of the village doesn't have to worry, I will meet that reckless man by myself!" Zhu Youren was overjoyed when he heard this: "If you have two masters, you will definitely be able to win face, but the swordsmanship is clever, so you must be careful!" The master doesn't have to show mercy to his subordinates, he just needs to end his life on the spot. If he cannot be victorious, try to lead him forward, and I will secretly ambush him with a strong bow and poisonous arrows, and shoot him in the back while he is unprepared. Hu Fei replied: "Don't hurt people with secret arrows, damage our face, forgive him for being a reckless man, what can he do?" I have my own way to deal with him, big brother just needs to wait for good news! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Hu Fei came to meet the bearded tiger, and Hu made an ancestral treasure knife, sharpening iron like clay, extremely sharp. The two fought for more than 50 battles, regardless of victory or defeat. Shang Xuhu thought in his heart, this person is proficient in swordsmanship, he can't beat him for a while, he is hungry and thirsty, and his physical strength is gradually lacking, and he must have a clever trick to win. So he pretended to be defeated and retreated, revealing his flaws, Hu Fei didn't know, swung his knife and approached, Shang Xuhu took advantage of the situation to lie down to avoid the blade, and the sword was already under Hu Fei's armpit. Hu Fei was taken aback and thought: What a wonderful swordsmanship! Shang Xuhu was in the hands of the opponent because of his small furniture, and he did not kill him, and when he saw that the other party had good kung fu, he had the idea of cherishing each other, but he turned the sword sideways and dressed past.

Hu Fei had already recognized the mercy of the other party's subordinates, and he was ashamed in his heart, but because of his feelings, he was afraid of being teased by the hero, so he turned around and fought again. The two fought for more than 50 years, but the tiger was still physically exhausted and gradually showed his defeat. The Hu Fei treasure knife was sharp, and in the middle of the butt, the sword body of the still bearded tiger was cut off, so the bearded tiger fought with his bare hands. Seeing this, Hu Fei didn't press tightly, clenched his fists and said: "It's getting late today, how about you and I fight again tomorrow?" ”

Shang Xuhu also knew that the other party intended to let him not take advantage of the danger of others, and he admired him more and more. So it was agreed that the winner would be decided tomorrow. Catch game that night, roast it on a fire, and drink some mountain spring water. Find a cave to rest in, and wait for tomorrow to fight again.

But said that Hu Fei returned to the village, and Zhu Youren blamed why not take advantage of his sword to break and end his life, so as not to worry about the future! Hu Feiyan said: "I look at his people, there is a style of pride and righteousness, so I deliberately want to accept my brother as a brother!" When other officers and soldiers come to attack, they will be a rare helper!" Zhu Youren was displeased in his heart, but said: "That deceived me too much, how can I be spared?" If I don't take advantage of this, how can I gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes? Hu Fei knew that Zhu Youren was not thinking about the cottage, but he was reluctant to let other people's ladies and unhappy, so he prevaricated and said: "I will spare him once, and fight again tomorrow, without mercy!" ”

At dawn on the second day, Hu Fei came to the front of the battle, only to see Shang Xuhu standing there early, in the cold wind, but like a dragon and a tiger roaring, quite heroic! So he said, "You don't have a blade in your hand, how can you fight me?" Shang Xuhu replied proudly: "Even if you have no sword, and you are not afraid?" The second master only needs to promise to be in the next, and if he loses to me, he will return his wife and children; If you win me, let you wait for it to fall, there is no other word. ”

Hu Fei listened to it and said: "It's really refreshing! I don't deceive you that you don't have a sword in your hand", so he unloaded the sword, walked forward with his bare hands, the two of them fought each other hand and foot, fighting more than ten times, Hu Fei moved and jumped to the distance, and said when he was fighting: "A good man is a good man, I have words to ask!" Shang Xuhu said: "I also respect my feet, but I am alone and in danger, and I dare not make friends!" The two of them then walked around the col, avoiding everyone's eyes, and clasped their fists and talked carefully.

The two parties registered each other's surnames, and each complained about their life experiences, so they became brothers. Hu Feiyan said: "I was a righteous man who resisted Jin, but I had no choice but to fall into the grass here, you and I were originally people in the same way, and when things happen in the future, I will respond to you and others from the outside, you and I will fight together!" Shang Xu Hu said: "It is a long-cherished wish to be able to make friends with heroes and heroes such as you." I'm afraid that the owner of the village has a mustard and can't tolerate me! Hu Fei replied: "Brother, don't worry, I have my own way!" You wait outside the village, wait for me to talk about the owner of the village, and then talk to my brother! ”

Besides, the brothers in the village have been waiting for a long time to see the return of the second master, and they are afraid that they will miss something, so they form a group of knives to look for the general, only to see Hu Fei walking out of the col alone, and said: "That guy is invincible, flee down the mountain first!" Everyone was happy and hugged Hu Fei back to the village.
