With the concerted efforts of the neighbors, Zhu Long, the shopkeeper, and the guys, the fire was finally extinguished.

Because there was a great favorable condition, the ground was covered with thick snow, and countless snowballs smashed through the doors and windows, and finally suppressed the fire, and then Lu Zhishen and a few people carried a few baskets of snow into it and extinguished the flames.

The shopkeeper looked at the blackened inn and wanted to cry without tears, but fortunately the main structure of the house was preserved and did not collapse.

Fortunately, his life was saved, and when the thieves smashed the door frantically just now, the shopkeeper and the guys were terrified.

"Thank you for your help and saving our lives!" The shopkeeper took the guys to bow down and thank Zhulong.

"It's a trifle!" Zhu Long was a little ashamed in his heart, if he didn't follow those two spies, but woke everyone up to prepare early, maybe the rest of the matter could be avoided.

He pointed to the guy lying motionless on the plank, the guy on duty he dragged out of the lobby, and asked, "How is he?" ”

Another guy cried and cried, "Dagen is dead!" ”

Everyone was in a heavy mood, and the shopkeeper sighed helplessly, and said: "I didn't expect Li De and Wang to be the spies of the bandits, and they all blamed me for being soft-hearted for a while, seeing that they were homeless and very pitiful, so I took them in, but I didn't expect ...... Alas! ”

Suddenly, the servants who went out to chase the bandits came back in embarrassment, all with wounds, and came to the three scholars who were mourning, and said in a trembling voice: "Childe, we caught up with those bandits, but there are many of them, and there are two leaders who are good at martial arts, if they don't run fast, we will explain there!" ”

"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! Li Shusheng was disappointed and scolded.

Zhou Shusheng suddenly rushed to the shopkeeper, grabbed his collar, and shouted: "We were robbed in your store, you have to compensate me, that's 100,000 pieces of jewelry!" ”

"I'm worth 120,000 yuan!" Wang Shusheng also felt distressed, this money is related to his future!

Of course, the shopkeeper didn't admit compensation, where could he afford it, and shouted: "We are also victims!" The house is burning, and the whole family is going to drink the northwest wind! We have already reported to the officials, and there will be officials and soldiers coming soon, and they will recover your losses. ”

As soon as Zhu Long heard that an official was coming, he decided to leave immediately, and said to the shopkeeper: "Our horse was also taken away by the bandits, and we are going to chase it back, so we will leave!" ”

The shopkeeper persuaded: "There are only five of you, how can you do it, or wait for the official to kill the bandits!" ”

"Don't treat us as fools, bandits are like combs, soldiers are like grates, officers and soldiers defeat bandits, and they can't wait to even pull out their clothes, how can they return the thieves' stolen goods to their owners!" Zhou Shusheng said angrily.

Zhu Long left with Lu Zhishen, Shi Wengong, Bian Xiang, and Lu Fang, and just walked out of the back door, Wen Huanzhang chased him out, called Zhu Long, and said, "Engong will leave now, please leave the surname Gao!" ”

"What a lot of effort." Zhu Long did not dare to reveal his identity now, for fear of attracting the pursuit of the officials and soldiers. He didn't think that if he saved the lives of Wen Huanzhang's father and daughter, the other party would repay the favor and bow to him.

In fact, the Song Dynasty has always given preferential treatment to scholars, so scholars are very supportive of Zhao. The Zhao family not only gave the civil officials generous benefits, but also truly respected the literati, and legally affirmed that "the Son of Heaven and the scholars rule the world together", and the political status of the literati was very high.

In contrast, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty are not only fatally low, but also have no basic protection for their personal safety, and the descendants of the Zhu family kill civil officials, which is called a person with a rolling head, and there are many tricks, peeling the skin and filling the grass, the court cane, the nine clans, Ling Chi ......, being an official under Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely a high-risk profession, and the treatment is extremely low.

It's just that civil officials are like leeks, after killing a batch, what grows is still the same leek, and Emperor Zhu is tired of killing and can't kill anymore.

Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty fell, many civil officials looked at them coldly, and even many people were impatient to throw themselves into the arms of the Dashun regime.

Everything has a cause and effect, and you can't blame people for not being ancient, and everyone is not the same heart from the beginning.

But the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were generally of one mind, when the Southern Song Dynasty was about to die, countless ministers were martyred, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians jumped into the sea to die, not afraid of the water being too cold at all.

Wen Huanzhang is a literati, and his reputation is not small, he is familiar with many officials in the capital, it can be seen that he is also a person who is enthusiastic about fame, Zhu Long does not trust him.

Seeing that Zhu Long refused to tell his name, Wen Huanzhang asked, "I don't know where Engong is?" ”

"I ...... Let's go to Tokyo! Zhu Long thought for a while.

Wen Huanzhang said with a smile: "The contemptible people happen to live in Anren Village outside Tokyo, and teach in the school there. When Engong arrives in Tokyo, he must go to the humble house to sit down, so that the contemptible people can enjoy the friendship of the landlord. ”

"Okay, I'll be bothered next!" Zhu Long said, turned around and strode away.

"Daddy, it's so dark outside, aren't the uncles afraid?" The daughter Wen Jing looked at the dark night outside and asked with some fear.

"Huh!" Wen Huanzhang touched his daughter's head lovingly, and said, "These uncles are not afraid of the dark!" ”

With a Shandong accent and four murderous tigers and wolves, they made a gesture with a chilling killing atmosphere! Extraordinary bearing, eloquent words, but hiding identity, not even revealing his name, mysterious and secretive, except for the one in Shandong, who else?

I thought that Shandong Zhulong, who was in an uproar, was just a brutal anti-thief and rebel people, but when I saw it today, he had a heroic spirit, I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for the common people in the world!

Zhu Long didn't know that Wen Huanzhang had already guessed his identity, and it was a pity for him to meet such a talent, but he couldn't drink and talk for a long time. He decided that when he arrived in Tokyo,

^0^ Remember for a second

I want to visit Wen Huanzhang in Ren'an Village.

The five of them walked out of the town, and Bian Xiang asked, "Are we going to chase the bandits, or are we going to continue on our way?" ”

Zhu Long stopped, looked at Lu Fang, and said, "I fought with the bandit leader just now, and I know one of them." ”

"Who is it?" Lu Fang asked calmly, already guessing something in his heart.

Zhu Long said word by word: "Guo Sheng! ”

Lu Fang clenched his fists and looked up into the distance, his eyes flashed, like a cold star in the night, and said coldly: "Lord, I'm going to chase the bandits!" ”

"Alright, let's go!"

Although the night was dark, Zhu Long insisted on not lighting torches, because he did not want to expose his position in the darkness and thus fall prey to the prey.

Fortunately, the eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness, at least they could see the road under their feet, but they couldn't see the bandits, didn't they light torches? How can it be that there are so many people, pushing carts?

Zhu Long and the others looked up as they walked, searching for the firelight.

After walking for a long time, they finally saw a little light in the distance!

Everyone lifted their spirits and chased after the firelight.

The light of the fire looked not far away, but it took a long time to come to a short distance.

Zhu Long, they found that this was the fire from a deserted temple.

The five people stopped outside the temple, observed around, and found no abnormality, and then quietly touched the temple gate, only to see a fire burning in the middle of the main hall, and an ugly yellow-faced man sleeping on the grass next to the fire, snoring and sleeping.

Lu Zhishen laughed and said: "What a reckless man, I don't know if my head was cut off in my sleep!" ”

A few people laughed, the big man sat up in shock, saw five people standing in front of him, inquired, grabbed the Pu knife in his hand, rolled back, and asked sharply: "Who are you?" ”

Bian Xiang said angrily: "Han Zixiu should be alarmed, if we wanted your life, you would have no head in your dreams long ago." ”

When the big man heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he relaxed and asked again, "Who are you?" The tone softened a lot.

Zhu Long stepped forward and said: "The merchant who passed by under the road, because he was stolen by the bandits, chased him all the way, saw the fire here, and thought he had found the thief's den. ”

Dahan said: "That must be the 'Demon King of the Mixed World' Fan Rui and his group in Mangdang Mountain, who often rob homes and houses in this area. However, a few of you have really eaten the gall of bears and leopards, and you dare to go to their trouble, there are only five of you, but they have three or four hundred minions! ”

"Even if there are thousands of troops, I'm not afraid of the family!" Lu Zhishen patted his chest and said.

The big man glanced at Lu Zhishen, saw that he was huge, nodded, agreed, and then said: "This gang of three thieves is not only a lot of people, but several leaders are also extraordinary, in addition to the big leader Fan Rui, there is also the second leader 'Sai Rengui' Guo Sheng, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd, very brave.

The three-headed 'eight-armed Nezha' Xiang Chong, good at making a group of cards, with twenty-four flying knives on his back, can take people in a hundred steps, and all of them are missed, and the same is true for the four-headed 'Flying Sage' Li Gon.

The five leaders, 'Little Shield' Mu Chun, and 'Sick Big Worm' Xue Yong, turned out to be good men in Liangshan, but they annoyed the officials of Zhu Daguan and fled for their lives here. Several of the leaders are skilled in martial arts, and you must not give your lives in vain! ”

That big Chinese is sincere, and it seems to be really kind.

"You man, how can you know so much about bandits?" Lu Zhishen asked.

"Hmph, I have a good heart and if people suspect it, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people!"

"Ahh Lu Zhishen grabbed Dahan's collar, and Zhu Long hurriedly asked Shi Wengong to separate the two.

"Dahan, thank you for your kindness, I don't know your honorable name?" Zhu Long asked with his fists clenched.

"I have no face in my life, so don't mention it!" The big man said indignantly.

Faceless?

Zhu Long asked tentatively: "I heard that there is a good man in the rivers and lakes, named Jiao Ting, who is known as faceless, and is the best at sumo wrestling, but is the brother in person?" ”

The big man was overjoyed, "You even know my name?" I don't know who the driver is? ”

"You don't have to ask me in a hurry, I don't know how Brother Jiao Ting ended up here?"

Jiao Ting sighed and said: "I have cast people everywhere in my life, but I can't vote, so I have the nickname 'faceless'." I wanted to go to Liangshan to seek refuge in the Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai, but Liangshan was broken by Zhujiazhuang, so I planned to go to Tokyo to try my luck, I didn't want to be robbed by the bandits of Mangdang Mountain halfway, I wanted to join the gang, but they didn't accept me, it's really hateful! ”

Bian Xiang asked, "Then why don't you take refuge in Zhujiazhuang?" ”

"I want to go, how can Zhujiazhuang want me? No one recommends! Jiao Ting hung his head.

Zhu Long said in a deep voice: "I only ask if you are willing to go to Zhujiazhuang?" ”

"Yes, of course I do! What's the use when I'm willing? ”

"Okay, then I'll take you! From now on, you are the person of Zhujiazhuang! Zhu Long said with a serious expression.

Jiao Ting was taken aback: "You? You are? ”

"I'm Zhulong!"

Jiao Ting was stunned, and after a while, he shouted: "My mother, I said why am I so miserable, I can't cast people everywhere, it turns out that God doesn't let me go astray, there is a broad road waiting for me!" ”

After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed: "The villain greets the great official!" ”

Zhu Long helped him up, introduced Lu Zhishen and the other four to Jiao Ting, and heard these famous celebrities, Jiao Ting saluted one by one, calling him "brother".

^0^ Remember for a second

After everyone got to know each other, they sat down around the brazier.

Zhu Long asked, "Brother Jiao Ting, have you been to Mangdang Mountain?" ”

"I've been there, and I've stayed for two days."

"Then you take us tomorrow!"

"Okay, no problem!" Jiao Ting is full of confidence in Zhu Long, in just half a year, Zhu Long rose like a meteor, dominating Dongping Mansion, rampant in Hebei, the government encircled and suppressed many times, lost troops and generals, helpless, now the most prosperous in the rivers and lakes is Zhu Long, many heroes in the rivers and lakes have defected.

After sleeping all night, the next morning, Zhu Long woke up, Bian Xiang and Jiao Ting had just woken up, Lu Zhishen was wielding a Zen stick at the door to practice, but he didn't see Shi Wengong and Lu Fang, and wondered where these two people were.

"Master, what about Teacher Shi and Brother Lu Fang?" He asked as he walked to the door.

Lu Zhishen stopped his Zen staff and replied, "They went hunting, saying that they were preparing breakfast!" ”

"On this snowy day, how can there be prey!" Zhu Long didn't believe it, squatted down, grabbed two handfuls of snow and rubbed his face, grabbed two more handfuls and stuffed them in his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and spit them out, and then rinsed his mouth.

Jiao Ting went to another meditation room to make a fire to cook, Zhu Long glanced at him and asked Bian Xiang to come over to help.

Bian Xiang is also an old man, and he immediately knew how to go over to help, and never leave.

Zhu Long moved his body for a while, and then competed with Lu Zhishen.

After a while, Shi Wengong and Lu Fang came back, Shi Wengong carried a bow and arrow, and Lu Fang followed behind, carrying a rabbit and two pheasants in his hands.

Zhu Long said with a smile: "Teacher Shi, not only is your halberd method the best in the world, but even your archery skills are so strong, admire!" Lu Fang, you have to learn from your master! ”

"Yes!" Lu Fang nodded.

"What is it, how are you learning? Did you teach you the real skills? Seeing Shi Wengong carrying the game to the side to peel and remove the hair and clean it, Zhu Long pulled Lu Fang and asked in a low voice. Lu Fang has always followed him, and he really regards Lu Fang as a little brother.

Lu Fang thought for a moment and said softly, "I think the halberd method has improved a lot. ”

"Well, that's good! Teacher Shi is a great master, you have to ask him for advice seriously. ”

"Yes!"

After working for a long time, I finally had a hearty breakfast.

After eating, the brazier and stove were doused with snow, and then under the Jiaoting leading the way, set off towards Mangdang Mountain.

Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
