Zhu Long stood on the city wall, looking down.

"Jin Leopard" Yang Lin was tied to a pillar, with a round head and a straight nose and a square mouth, which really looked like a leopard.

But at this moment, he did not have the might of a leopard, but was a little embarrassed, his clothes were torn, his face was bruised, because he injured several brothers during the arrest, the Zhuang Ke was naturally not polite, punched and kicked him.

"Third brother, you go and scare him, pretend to kill him and sacrifice the flag." Zhu Long thought for a while and said to Zhu Biao.

"Kill if you want to, why pretend?"

Zhu Long looked at his younger brother with a serious face, and Zhu Biao was furious: "Why does the eldest brother look at me like this, good!" I'm going to scare him! ”

He went down the city wall and announced that he was going to kill Yang Lin to sacrifice the flag.

Zhu Hu was very happy to hear this, pulled out the big knife, and made a few strokes on Yang Lin's neck, eager to start.

Yang Lin closed his eyes tightly, pursed his lips, and his face turned pale.

Zhu Long didn't underestimate him because of this, to be honest, he was already a tough guy to have this performance, and at this time, most people would cry and beg for mercy.

He felt that the heat was almost over, and if he didn't go down, he wouldn't really cut it.

"Stop!" Zhu Long shouted, hurriedly went downstairs, his eyes swept over everyone, and finally fell on Zhu Hu's face, and said, "Second brother, what are you doing here?" How can you treat a hero like this! ”

Then he took a few steps forward, untied the rope for Yang Lin, and said again and again: "I have long admired the name of Brother Yang Lin of the 'Golden Leopard', I am offended, please forgive me!" ”

"Big brother, what are you doing here! He's a thief from Liangshan! Zhu Hu pulled him, puzzled.

Zhu Long ignored him and said to Yang Lin with a humble face: "My brother is reckless and frightened my brother, don't be surprised!" ”

"This ......" Yang Lin looked confused, and was taken by Zhu Long to the courtyard where he lived.

Zhu Hu was unwilling, and led people to follow behind and guard the door.

Zhu Long invited Yang Lin to sit down and bent down to worship.

Yang Lin hurriedly stood up, helped Zhu Long up, and said puzzledly: "What do you mean by the big official, torture me!" ”

"In Xia Zhulong, I have always admired the heroes of Liangshan very much, and I have heard my brother's name for a long time, I can't wait to see each other as soon as possible, and today I can see my respectful face, which is enough to comfort my life!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, it's a cheap name, it's insulting." Yang Lin hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's a shame to offend your land!" ”

Yang Lin was really a little moved, to be precise, flattered.

His martial arts are mediocre, and he has no background to be proud of, he is unknown in the rivers and lakes, although he has many friends, but they are all robbers who occupy the mountains and are also the bottom of the rivers and lakes.

The days of occupying the mountain as the king are very difficult, often without enough food and clothing, and facing the encirclement and suppression of the government, and losing his head at any time! Not everyone is like Liangshan, who has both natural and geographical advantages and many masters, who can walk sideways.

So he would rather wander in the rivers and lakes than go to a small cottage to fall into the grass.

Later, he got a letter of recommendation from Gongsun Sheng, the "Cloud Dragon", and happened to meet Dai Zong, the "Shenxing Taibao", ran errands with him, and finally joined Liangshanbo.

In Liangshan, where there are many factions, he is naturally labeled as "Dai Zong", and Dai Zong is Song Jiang's younger brother, as a younger brother's younger brother, Yang Lin is also a man with his tail between his legs on Liangshan, no one takes him as a thing, and his sense of existence is extremely low.

Zhu Long, the second generation of local tyrants and riches, treated him so politely and courteously, which made him feel the attention and respect he had been longing for.

The so-called soldier dies for his confidant, and the people of the rivers and lakes are so simple. Everyone came out to mix, just for fame and fortune.

Profit, that is, silver, Jianghu people are extravagant, there are haunts, unless there is a mine at home, otherwise everyone is short of money, so Song Jiang's means of sprinkling silver everywhere are invincible.

Fame is fame and face.

Jing Ke didn't know Prince Dan's thoughts, and Wu Song didn't understand the purpose of giving grace, but as long as you had enough face, what if you were using it? After learning a skill, it is to sell to people who know the goods!

If the officials persuade me to surrender, should I agree? Brother Gongming has never treated me badly!

Yang Lin's heart was shaken, and he was in a dilemma!

Fortunately, Zhu Long did not persuade him to surrender, but sighed: "It's all the villains who provoked it, causing the misunderstanding between Zhujiazhuang and the heroes of Liangshan!" ”

"Misunderstanding?"

"At that time, Qian and others pretended to be heroes of Liangshan and stole chickens from my village, how can I tolerate this kind of behavior that ruins Liangshan's reputation!"

"But ......"

"The great names of the heroes of Liangshan, all of them are like thunder, when did there be Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu Shiqian? Didn't they deceive me? It's a pity that you Chao Tianwang didn't notice, listened to the words of the villain, and asked the teacher to ask for guilt, I wish Jiazhuang to protect himself, so he can only rise up and resist! ”

"This ......" Yang Lin couldn't argue, Shi Qian was stealing chickens on the way to Liangshan, and he really couldn't be regarded as a hero in Liangshan at that time.

And many people in Liangshan also scoffed at their actions, Chao Gai was angry because they stole chickens under the banner of Liangshan, and wanted to kill Yang Xiong Shixiu, but was persuaded by Song Jiang.

"Big brother is talking nonsense to him, let me kill him! When a friend comes, he has wine and meat, and when a robber comes, he has a sword, and he Liangshanbo comes to attack us, so I can't kill him! Zhu Hu led people into the house.

Zhu Long stopped the door and shouted: "You go out, whoever dares to come in, I recognize him as a brother, but my knife does not recognize him!" ”

Zhu Hu snorted unwillingly, "Okay, I won't go in, but he doesn't want to come out!" Brothers, you are guarding the door, as long as this man surnamed Yang takes a step out of the door, you will chop him up! ”

"You-" Zhu Long pointed at Zhu Hu, trembling with anger, but helpless, "I'll go to my father for comment!" ”

He said apologetically to Yang Lin: "Let Brother Yang see and laugh!" My brother is as fierce as fire, and only my father can control it. ”

"It's not here, don't hurt your brother's harmony because of me!" Yang Lin looked ashamed.

"I've wronged Brother Yang!" Zhu Long called the four servants in the courtyard and admonished: "This is my brother Yang Lin, a famous man in the rivers and lakes, you must serve carefully, just like for me!" ”

The four servants hurriedly nodded yes.

After Zhu Long left, Zhu Hu left twenty Zhuang guests to guard the door, and then followed, waved to the relatives behind him, let them stay away, and then said with a smile: "Big brother, am I pretending to be like?" ”

"Good cooperation, worthy of being a brother!" Zhu Long gave a thumbs up, "Send someone to watch it, don't let it run out!" ”

"Don't worry, I'll let people watch! But I don't understand, why is the eldest brother so polite to him? ”

While talking, the two walked to the door, Zhu Biao heard their voices, walked towards them, and looked at Zhu Long suspiciously.

Zhu Long looked left and right, there was no one beside him, and said, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?" I'm just trying to leave a way back. Don't talk about him yet, I'll take people to patrol the village to see if there are any spies in Liangshan. ”

"I'll go with my big brother!" Zhu Hu can't be idle, and he wants to follow.

"Okay, you wait a minute, I have something to do."

Zhu Long found two hundred captains from Zhujia Village from the barracks, one was called Zhu Kang and the other was Zhu Fei.

"Do you know a family in the village with the surname Zhongli?" He remembered that in the original book, the old man who took in Shi Xiu and leaked the secret of life and death in Zhujia Village was surnamed Zhongli.

Zhu Fei shook his head, "My subordinates haven't heard of it." ”

Zhu Kang thought for a while and said, "I heard my brother seem to have mentioned that he has a neighbor surnamed Zhongli. ”

"Get him! Don't say anything! Zhu Long ordered.

"Yes!" Zhu Kang answered loudly, then ran back to the barracks and came over with a young villager.

"Villain Zhu Ming, meet the eldest young master!" Zhu Ming didn't know why the eldest young master was looking for him, and he was uneasy.

Zhu Long put on a pleasant face and asked, "Do you know a family surnamed Zhongli?" ”

"Yes, it's the villain's neighbor."

"Who are those people?"

"His son is out on business, and only one old man is at home all year round."

Zhu Long was secretly happy, "Then you take us to his house immediately!" Zhu Kang, take your team of brethren with you! ”

"Yes!" Zhu Kang turned around and went to gather his men.

Zhu Long called Zhu Hu, took a hundred men and horses, led the way by Zhu Ming, went out of the front door, crossed the suspension bridge, and entered Zhujia Village.

Along the way, there are bankers with knives at all intersections and at the entrance of the hotel, interrogating strangers.

Doors and windows were closed, there were few idlers in the village, and the air was filled with the tension of the approaching war.

After walking for about three or four miles, Zhu Ming, who led the way, suddenly stopped, pointed to a family in front of him, and said, "Daguan, this is it!" ”

Zhu Long waved his hand, "Surround it!" A bird can't let him fly away! ”
