"Liu San, Lai Yong and these two have money and know how to do things, and the time is almost up, Lin Chong, my brother is not enough, so I can only help you get here." In the backyard of Chaofu in Yuncheng, Chao Gai stood in front of the brewery and looked south.

"The saddest hero in the Water Margin, if you don't wake up, don't blame the foolish brother for digging your corner. As long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. I hope you don't give me a chance to make a move, my brother is a legend. ”

Chao Gai thought of Lin Niangzi who would rather die than give in, and sighed for no reason. I turned around and went into the brewery to discuss with the masters how to improve the distillation method.

I haven't run around these days, and every day except for practicing midnight is training guards. In addition, Chaofu's various industries have invested a lot of energy. Not to mention that he did it himself, one of them was pulled into a strong ding.

In order to improve work efficiency, there is a division of labor.

Su Ding was in charge of the training of the guards in the village, and supervised the construction of the Zhuangzi wall and the maintenance of law and order.

Li Kui also selects people he likes to train and protect the safety of the mansion.

In addition to training guards and practicing martial arts, Chao Gai is responsible for technological innovation such as breweries, forging workshops, brick kilns, training cooks and waiters, etc.

Shi Xiu led people to choose a suitable place to build a village store.

Chao Fu went to the county seat to transfer or rent a storefront.

Wu Yong, Comber ran around, used silver to open the way, and dotted the relationship.

Everyone is busy, busy but not chaotic, full and comfortable. Even the many tenants on the village were jubilant, and this year was destined to be a bumper year.

Yishui County, Yuelai Restaurant in the east of the city.

Zhu Fu was a little difficult after receiving his brother's handwritten letter the day before yesterday. I've been thinking about whether to defect to King Chao in the past. On the one hand, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and on the other hand, it is the repeated advice of the elder brother and the heavy hundred taels of gold.

In the end, I decided to listen to my brother, and it was better to have a career than to live. He gave a hundred taels of gold before he met him, which shows that King Chao is generous and righteous, but he cherishes talents and looks up to himself.

made up his mind to defect, Zhu Fu naturally did not hesitate and decided to set off immediately.

Before leaving, things in Yishui County need to be arranged.

In fact, my parents died early, and I didn't have any relatives, so it was very simple to deal with. Let the Hun family pack up the gold and silver, and set up a carriage for his wife and children to ride.

The guys in the restaurant said hello, and those who were willing to follow along.

The most valuable thing is this restaurant that has been in business for more than ten years!

Zhu Fu wanted to sell it, but after thinking about it, the time was too tight, and he would definitely not be able to sell it at a high price. I don't want to waste my hard work like this, and I'm ready to leave it to my master.

Because he likes to dance with guns and sticks, he worships Li Yun, the head of the county, as a teacher. This Li Dutou is strong in martial arts, and because of his green eyes, he is called the "blue-eyed tiger".

On the day of mid-June, Zhu Fu prepared a table of dishes and went to the county government at noon to invite Li Yun as a guest. The master and apprentice sat opposite each other and said goodbye.

He knew that his master didn't drink a drop of wine, so he replaced it with tea and had a long talk. did not hide that he went to Yuncheng to defect to Chao Gai Chao Heavenly King.

I really want to persuade Li Yun to go with him, but it is unlikely that the other party is a public person. After all, although the position of the head of the capital is not high, he is also a figure in this county.

There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and after the wine banquet, it is parting.

"Master, the restaurant is left to you, Xiao Er and the master of the room have explained."

"Hey, brother Xian, I'll watch for you, if you don't like it outside, then come back."

"Master, you must take care of your health!" In front of the Yuelai Restaurant, after the smiling tiger Zhu Fu and the blue-eyed tiger Li Yun said goodbye in tears, they drove the carriage straight to the city gate.

Not long after leaving the county seat, he met Chao Qiang and others who were waiting here. He was ordered to pick up Li Kui's wife, if he hadn't spent money to get Li Dabao out, it would have been faster. He didn't enter the city after returning not long ago.

Zhu Fu knew from the letter written by his brother that Chao Qiang was the confidant of King Chao Tian. I didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly greeted him, and after the two sides met and greeted. The two teams merged in one place, checked the baggage, and set off for Yuncheng.

Yizhou has many lofty mountains and mountains, and the road is difficult to walk. Fortunately, the team is not a caravan, so there is no need to hurry. The team picks a good road to walk, and it should be used as a tour.

When Chao Qiang came, he took a lot of unjust roads because he was not familiar with the terrain. However, with the head snake Zhu Fu guiding the direction, the speed of shortcuts is much faster.

The team is hungry and thirsty, and lives at night. After walking over the mountains and mountains for two days, he was about to leave the boundary of Yizhou. In the distance, I saw a big mountain in front of me, mountains and mountains, mountains and mountains, ancient trees, and steep mountains.

Zhu Fu pointed to the mountain: "Teacher Chao, you see that mountain has a strange shape, it is called Wengtou Mountain, let's go around it from the side." ”

Chao Qiang let out an "um", looked at the steep mountain, and ordered loudly: "Everyone cheer up, be on strict alert, and find a place to rest first." ”

The world is turbid, more and more people can't survive, and there are strong people in dangerous mountains. A dozen or so guards clenched their swords and guns, vigilant all around.

The teammates found a relatively flat place to rest in the shade of a tree. Bury the pot to cook, feed the horses for vigilance, and continue to set off after recuperating their energy.

Finally get around the mountain just as the sun is about to set. Seeing that the terrain was gradually flattening, but before everyone could take a breath, the shouting of killing at the foot of the mountain in front of them shook the sky, and faintly saw many people pouring out of the mountain to surround the caravan.

It was a robbery by a strongman!

The battle field ahead is deadly, just blocking the way!

Chao Qiang learned a lot of military knowledge during this time, and ordered the guards to guard two carriages, and more than a dozen horses paced back and forth, ready to rush and kill at any time.

"Brother Zhu Fu, the boundary here is Qufu?"

Zhu Fu will copy the martial arts a few times, and let Xiao Er drive himself to rush forward with a knife. Hearing Chao Qiang's inquiry, he hurriedly responded: "Exactly, this is Qufu." ”

"Hey, there are strong people in the saint's hometown, this world." Chao Qiang didn't know what a saint was, but after listening to Chao Gai, he naturally knew a little. Looking at the bandits surrounding the caravan in front of him from a distance, he was inexplicably a little sad.

"Teacher Chao, there are a lot of robbers, we can't sit still and go over and take a look?" Zhu Fu's brain was very flexible, and he hurriedly proposed the key point.

Chao Qiang also felt that if the caravan was defeated and destroyed, he and the others would also be in danger. That's what your own master said? Yes, it's the cold lips and teeth.

When he thought of this, he no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered a few guards to stay, while the rest charged after him. Zhu Fu stepped on a mule and chased after him.

Seven or eight good horses from the North spread their hooves and galloped wildly, and when they came to the vicinity, they slowed down. In the distance, I saw more than 100 strongmen with knives and guns surrounding a caravan. First, someone shouted as if asking for money to buy the road, and then a fight broke out without talking. More than a dozen guards of the caravan relied on several peaceful vehicles to fight fiercely.

What is surprising is that everyone in this caravan is dressed in white, with white leather boots on their feet and white robes. The whole body is white, which is very eye-catching.

And it is not as prepondered as the robbers imagined, but the morale of the caravan with few people is high. These men in white clothes had obviously practiced martial arts. Especially the young man in the lead, a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand danced like the wind, sprinting back and forth, and the robbers who beat him did not dare to approach.

What does this young man look like?

But he saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was twenty-one or twelve years old. The hair is tied on the head, and the crown is pronged, and the top is a ball of snow; The leather armor on his body is covered with a thousand points of frost. Su Luo's robe shines on the sun, and the silver flowers deceive the bright moon. Pick a halberd silver Jiao in your hand. Rushing left and right on the battlefield, no one dares to approach.

is like the white-robed Xue Rengui in the Tang Dynasty, a heroic young man. Chao Qiang, a reckless man, couldn't help but secretly praise when he saw the appearance of the young man.

Zhu Fu rode a mule and chased after him from behind, and he was happy to see the young man. Busy patting the mule came to Chao Qiang's side, saying that it was best to make friends with one or two.

"Wow, get out of the way, let me come!"

At this moment, there was an angry shout from the strong crowd, and the little minions automatically got out of the way. A burly black man carried a simple knife, shook the stride monster and screamed at the silver-robed youth, and there was a knife in his pocket.

The young man was not afraid, and swung the sword with his halberd, and then attacked with a backhand. Even if foot combat is not suitable for using halberds against the enemy, he is flexible in using them. A painting halberd flies up and down as if it is alive, stabbing obliquely, and there are many changes.

And the bandit leader was obviously a practitioner, dodging to avoid attacks, and the sword danced like the wind. You come and go with the young people, and mingle with each other. It's a pity that this guy is not good at martial arts, he is obviously at a disadvantage, and he will lose sooner or later.

Chao Qiang and Zhu Fu saw it clearly, and secretly praised the silver-robed young man for his good martial arts. Suddenly, I saw a thief-eyed guy in the crowd who wanted to release a cold arrow.

Chao Qiang roared and ordered his subordinates to attack, and he charged with the belly of the horse: "Well, that little brother in white armor is careful that there are thieves sneaking up on his side......"

But before he finished speaking, the young man who was fighting with the bandit leader noticed the evil wind on his side, and knew that someone was busy pumping the halberd back to defend himself, and with a crisp sound, the arrow flew out.

"Well done!" Chao Qiang couldn't help but praise when he saw this scene on the horse, and then roared like thunder: "The thief is going to be rampant, and Xiao Zhong Kui is coming." ”

The guards had already accelerated and rushed towards the bandits. Immediately, the guards roared loudly, causing panic among the bandits who had been frustrated by the siege.

Where did this come from?

The bandit leader saw Chao Qiang and others wearing leather armor and thought they were from the government. I secretly complained in my heart that I was panicked, and the rhythm of waving the Pu knife was disrupted. is not the opponent of the silver-robed youth. With a bang, Pu Dao was picked up by a halberd, and if it weren't for a few strongmen desperately saving each other, he was afraid that he would be killed on the spot.

The speed of the war horse's sprint is so fast, it is instantaneous. Before the robbers could escape, they crashed into the crowd in a cone-shaped formation, then scattered and rushed back and forth.

The group was not stupid, they avoided the horses, and soon the formation was scattered. Chao Qiang and his subordinates just slapped the dead hand with the back of the knife and yelled one after another.

"Lay down your arms, surrender and don't kill."

The robbers were not fully armoured, and they were a rabble, and the leader was defeated and the army was scattered. Some threw away their weapons and crawled on the ground, while others scattered and fled, as long as they entered the forest, these officers and soldiers could not do anything about themselves.

"The strongman wants to run, rush!" The caravan was overjoyed and shouted. Led by the silver-armored youth, he charged down and killed the strongmen.
