Chapter 22 The Attack on Hujiazhuang
Although Zhang Shun was once one of the "Three Tyrants of Jieyang" and was an underworld force, he only sought wealth and did not love killing.
Began to rob merchants on the Xunyang River with his brother Zhang Heng, the brothers were very interesting, built a boat, ferried merchants on the river, and when the boat reached the middle of the river, Zhang Heng then took out a knife and robbed viciously. Zhang Shun pretended to be an ordinary boat passenger and came out to resist. Zhang Heng threw him into the river, and the merchants were frightened and hurriedly handed over their belongings.
After completing the original capital accumulation through robbery, Zhang Shun began to run a fish market as a black businessman, and became more and more prosperous.
Zhang Heng became more and more ferocious, and those who got on the boat all sought money and killed themselves, and they couldn't beg for mercy.
Seeing Mu Hong's hideous smiling face and carrying a woman into the house, Li Kui held an axe, his eyes were bloodshot, chasing the panicked people everywhere and slashing him, Zhang Shun clenched his fists and was very disgusted.
This Li Kui was a normal person when he was in Jiangzhou, he did things according to the rules, although he was domineering, he did not bully the old and weak, and only beat the strong. Since robbing the law field to save Song Jiang, he has become a murderous demon king.
After seeing the people of Hujiazhuang come out, he hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Don't kill, the people of Hujiazhuang have come out!" ”
Mu Hong rushed out with his pants in his hand, carrying a blood-dripping knife, and when he saw that Li Kui was still immersed in killing, he patted him on the shoulder.
Li Kui turned around with an axe, Mu Hong was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped away, "What kind of nerves, if you don't see it clearly, you will kill it, if you change it to Brother Song Jiang, you won't be cut by an axe!" ”
"Hmph, I'm here to kill happily, no matter who you are! If I kill Brother Song Jiang, it doesn't matter, I wiped my neck myself, and I went down to accompany him! What's the matter with you? ”
"The people from Hujiazhuang have come out!"
Li Kui's eyes showed a bloodthirsty and excited light, "That's just the right time to kill!" ”
He walked up to Song Jiang's side, "Brother, give the order!" ”
Song Jiang nodded, "Be careful, go ahead!" Break Hujiazhuang!! ”
Zhang Shun and Mu Hong jumped on their horses and danced their knives and rushed up, while Li Kui spread his feet and strode away, not much slower than the two of them riding horses.
"I'm here to protect my brother!" Dai Zong said righteously.
Song Jiang glanced at him expressionlessly, and Dai Zong shrunk his neck weakly.
Mu Hong saw Hu Sanniang, his eyes burst out with anger, yesterday it was this little girl who burned the Liangshan camp, robbed Zhu Biao, and caused him to lose face.
He brandished a long knife and rushed towards Hu Sanniang, the two horses approached, and he slashed obliquely and was pushed away by Hu Sanniang.
The two horses staggered shoulder-to-shoulder, and Mu Hong turned the horse's head, ready for another round.
Hu Sanniang ignored him at all, rushed straight forward, and killed Song Jiang.
Zhu Biao here too, after a move with Zhang Shun, bypassed Li Kui, went hand in hand with Hu Sanniang, and rushed towards Song Jiang.
"Brother, run!" Dai Zong hurriedly urged.
Song Jiang also panicked and fled.
As soon as Song Jiang and Dai Zong ran, the formation that had just been gathered was chaotic, and the minions were at a loss.
Song Jiang and Dai Zong ran in front, Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang chased after them, Mu Hong and Zhang Shun chased behind, and Li Kui fell behind.
Several lords chased after me, left the battlefield, and ran farther away.
The villagers of Hujiazhuang were eager for revenge, full of anger, and they all desperately moved forward, killing Liangshan's minions crying and calling their mothers, and scattered and fled.
Estimating that the time was almost up, Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang glanced at each other, the two had the same mind, and at the same time turned the horse's head and entered a fork in the road.
Mu Hong and Zhang Shun were worried about Song Jiang and couldn't care about the two of them, so they hurriedly caught up with Song Jiang and shouted, "Brother, don't run, it's okay!" ”
Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang returned to Hujiazhuang, and the villagers had returned with a big victory.
"San Lang, thanks to your plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Hu Cheng greeted him warmly.
"It's all Brother Hu's proper scheduling!" Zhu Biao wiped the sweat from his head and smiled modestly.
Hu Cheng suddenly sighed, and said with a worried face: "I'm afraid that they will come back, and the old trick will be repeated!" When the villagers suffer, we have to fight again, how can we be good? Is it better to ask for help from your village? ”
"Huh?" Zhu Biao pondered for a long time, and finally spoke: "I will write to my brother and inform him of the situation here." ”
"Good!" Hu Cheng nodded happily and turned his head to look at Hu Sanniang, "Is my little sister tired?" Let's go down and get some news! ”
Hu Sanniang shook her head, "I didn't fight with others, I just rode a horse to play with them, but it's not fun!" ”
"Isn't it an enjoyable thing to fight a war that kills people? It's good to come back safely! He shook his head helplessly.
Zhu Long received Zhu Biao's letter, read it carefully, and asked Luan Tingyu and Qin Ming and others to circulate it.
"The third brother said in the letter that he did not see the 'leopard head' Lin Chong and the 'iron flute fairy' Ma Lin and others in Hujiazhuang today, and suspected that they were engaged in conspiracy. Let's talk about what to do. ”
Qin Ming read the letter, was filled with righteous indignation, slapped it on the table, and said angrily: "When these thieves framed me, they also killed innocents like this and burned many people outside Qingzhou City. Robbers kill people and set fires are common, and if you dare to do it, you are also a hero. I can't get used to Song Jiang's black guy killing people and setting fires, and shouting benevolence and righteousness at the same time, claiming to be a righteous man! It's really an X son and a memorial arch! ”
"Brother Qin is angry, and I promise that one day, I will avenge Brother Qin!" Zhu Long stood up and said comfortingly.
"If you can get the help of the big officials and repay the blood feud of a certain family, a certain person will definitely be ruined to repay the kindness of the big officials!" Qin Ming said excitedly.
After Luan Tingyu read the letter, he had been pondering, and then he spoke: "Big official, I think it's better to plan it!" ”
Zhu Long laughed: "What Master Luan said is exactly what I want!" ”
Qin Ming and Huang Xin took two hundred Zhuang Ding Chi to help Hujiazhuang, and three miles behind them, Zhu Long and Zhu Hu led a hundred cavalry to follow quietly.
This operation is to rescue Hujiazhuang on the surface, but Zhu Long's real purpose is still Qin Ming.
Qin Ming didn't kill a Liangshan leader and handed over a letter of surrender, he never dared to use him with confidence.
This time, it's just to give him a chance.
Qin Ming, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, was shrewd in his heart, and he didn't know if he was figuring out Zhu Long's thoughts, or if he was in a hurry to show his heart, this time, he took the initiative to ask to be the striker.
He himself knows that this striker is actually a decoy, and it is very dangerous!
After walking for more than 30 miles, a dense forest appeared in front of me, with tall trees on both sides, lush branches and leaves, and no sunlight entered.
Qin Ming's eyes narrowed, he tightened the mace in his hand, pulled the reins slightly, and walked forward slowly.
Huang Xin pulled out the mourning sword, and stared at the woods on both sides, but the trees were thick and dense, and thirty or fifty steps away, his vision was blocked.
The soldiers were cautious and approached each other, and those who carried their shields were taken off and kept out of them, and their spears were set on their shields and pointed to both sides.
Suddenly, Qin Ming stopped his horse.
Ahead, there is a ride on the road!
Qin Ming took a deep breath and slowly drove forward.
"Lin Chong, I knew you would set up an ambush here, hum! Come out! ”
The person blocking the middle of the road was really Lin Chong, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Qin Ming, why did you defect to the enemy?" You must know that Liangshan treats you well! ”
"Apostasy? Haha......" Qin Ming suddenly burst out laughing, his voice was full of desolation and resentment, "Where are we people still having any 'festivals', we are all thieves in the eyes of the imperial court!" ”
"I, Qin Ming, are conscientious and loyal to the king, but I am hateful and suspicious since ancient times, and I am slandered for my faith, I was framed by Song Jiang, and the mediocre officials did not notice, and my wife and children were innocent, and I was slaughtered. Commit yourself to the enemy and prolong your life! I hate to eat the flesh of Song Jiang and drink its blood! You say, how does Liangshan treat me well? ”
