In Yuncheng County, the Wangxiang Building on Central Street is brightly lit, and it is more lively than during the day. In the city, there are figures with heads and faces, some riding horses, some riding soft sedan chairs, and some going to the banquet in groups of three or five.

The candles in the observation pavilion on the top floor are shaded by candles, all kinds of delicacies are constantly served, and the wine is jar after altar, forming a meandering water feast! It is the flowing water seat of the later generations, and it is also a high-level gathering among people with status.

The county's parents, the official Ren Lao, came in a busy schedule, and was naturally warmly welcomed. But I didn't stay long, and I went home after eating a few glasses of wine with everyone.

Although the time is not very long, he behaves very cordially with Chao Gai. is almost called a brother, giving enough face and revealing signals to the outside world.

This is my brother, everyone has to give face!

The reason why the relationship is so close is because the two parties are bound by interests. Ren Zhixian came empty-handed, and when he went back, he had an extra box. The silver of the white flower is a thousand taels, and this relationship is not good, so it is strange!

After the county lord left, the people who went to the banquet were open, the dishes were delicious, the wine was clear and mellow, and it was quite popular with people, and the atmosphere was getting warmer and warmer!

Everyone swayed with wine bowls, whether they knew each other or not, they came over to eat a glass of wine and mix their faces, and they would have good business contacts in the future.

The host Chao Gai is naturally the object of toasting, and the glass is empty when the wine comes. In a hurry, he finalized several deals with the rich men in the city. Fortunately, there is Shi Xiu, and Yang Lin helps to block the wine, so he won't drink too much.

Chao Gai put down the wine bowl and hid in the corner to sit down, looking at the tall figure in the crowd. Disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes, why did he come. If you don't come to the banquet in timidity, Kui Zi will be able to knock you off with an axe tonight.

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng obviously discussed, and came together with a wine bowl. Sit beside him and drink and persuade. is saying good things about Song Jiang, don't listen to rumors, and deliberately match the two to restore their original relationship.

Chao Gai looked at these two people like fools, and secretly said in his heart that dogs can't change eating. On the surface, he talked freely with the two of them, pretending to be stupid and never mentioning it. This move is to retreat into advance, and Lei Heng grinned.

"Hahaha, Heavenly King, both of them are heads. Tonight I will not get drunk and not return. At this time, Wang Yuan's face was full of red light, and he walked over with a wine bowl and a smile.

He was followed by a young man.

This person is burly, with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, good facial features, and dark skin. He exudes iron and blood, and there is a touch of cynicism on his face. A pair of piercing eyes glanced at the others with a hint of contempt.

With such an arrogant demeanor, he is either a fool or has the ability!

Chao Gai, Zhu Tong, and Lei Heng looked at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Most of this young man has come from an extraordinary way, and his martial arts are by no means mediocre.

"Who is this?" The three of them stood up to greet each other and saluted, and when they were seated, they looked at the young man in unison, and the other party also looked at him.

"Three, you are heroes." Wang Yuan smiled, pointed to the young man next to him and praised: "This brother is from the Western Army and is still an officer. He has been on the battlefield many times to kill the enemy, skilled in bows and horses, and has the courage of ten thousand people. ”

"Have you seen three heroes?" The burly young man clasped his fists and saluted, the question in his voice could not be more obvious, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng's face stiffened, and his heart was displeased.

When Chao Gai heard the word Western Army, he paid attention to it, because this army was the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty. It is precisely with the Western Army that the Great Song Dynasty has the confidence and capital to the outside world. But any officer who comes out of it will at least take a few military strokes.

"Oh, it turned out to be a border hero, disrespectful and disrespectful, brother, in the vast sea of people, tonight's encounter is fate, come and come, eat three cups."

Zhu Tong, Lei Heng originally planned to sneer at the big-headed soldier who didn't know how to be polite. But see Chao Gai's move. They all raised their glasses and said New Year's greetings.

The burly young man looked at Chao Gai, who had a warm and sincere attitude, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times. Stretching out his hand without hitting the smiling face, the man restrained his arrogance, and hurriedly raised his glass to say that he was lucky. After eating a few cups in a row, Wang Yuan introduced him, and he slowly got acquainted.

The burly young man also learned the identities of Chao Gai and the three of them, looked left and right, and his eyes fell on Chao Gai, and he inexplicably felt that the other party had a kind of cordial feeling. Thinking of learning about this Chao Heavenly King's personality, I subconsciously had more respect.

"Heavenly King, I have heard that you are generous and righteous, helping the people, and the little brother respects you with a cup."

"Hehehe, it's nothing to do it casually, it's admirable that brothers defend the frontier." Chao Gai smiled and raised his glass, this young man felt that his words and deeds were very similar to those before he was a soldier.

"Brother, where are you from?" Chao Gai asked and poured wine for the young man himself.

Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, and Wang's staff felt a little surprised, and Chao Gai's behavior was a little abnormal. Could it be that this young man knew him? Or speculation?

"The younger brother is a native of Yan'an Mansion, and his surname is Han Dan and his name is five." The burly young man saw Chao Gai pour wine for himself personally, and his attitude changed a little while holding the wine glass in both hands.

"Han Wu? Are you Han Wu from Yan'an Mansion? Chao Gai muttered and suddenly got up. staring at the burly young man in front of him, full of incredulity.

The name Han Wu may not be known by many people, but Han Shizhong is estimated to be a household name. He was one of the four generals of Zhongxing who was as famous as Yue Fei in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Han Shizhong was born in an ordinary peasant family. His family is poor, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he is fierce and fierce, he does not need to be whipped, he can ride a foal, his family is poor and has no livelihood, he is addicted to alcohol and advocates moderation, and he is not informal. When I was young, I liked to fight and brawl, and I was known as Po Han Wu!

Han Shizhong, who has not yet reached the crown, responded to the recruitment of the township with "daring". Incorporated into the military register of Yan'an Prefecture to resist Western Xia. He excelled in his powerful shooting and won the triumvirate. Later, he resisted the Jin army and made great achievements.

"Nima, O cowman! Lao Tzu, this is a cow man! Chao Gai looked at the burly young man's eyes straight, and his mouth muttered inaudibly.

"Hey, does the King of Heaven recognize the little brother this time?" The burly young man Han Wu was a little furious and wanted to be angry, but when he saw Chao Gai's gaffe, he asked tentatively.

"Brother, I'm so excited to see you." Chao Gai came back to his senses and saw a few people looking at him, sat down slightly embarrassed, raised his wine glass, and smiled at a few people.

"The five Han brothers, with a dignified appearance, purple light Chongdou Mansion, this is the appearance of wealth and nobility. has a strong personality, and now he is not ambitious, and he will be able to soar in the future. He remembered that Han Shizhong had the order of the three princes in the future, and he also came for a while.

When Han Shizhong heard similar words again, he immediately froze. I couldn't help but think of the fortune teller who once served in Yan'an and said that I would have the life of the three princes in the future. I was poor at the time, and I didn't believe that he beat others violently. Now in Shandong, two thousand miles away, similar words are heard.

The other party is still very close to his first acquaintance, and it is absolutely impossible to humiliate himself.

Could it be that he really has the life of the Three Princes? Han Wu looked at Chao Gai and then at the wine glass, wanting to ask carefully but was afraid of being laughed at by others. I can't help but think about it.

"Heavenly King, do you still look at your face?" Wang Yuan was silent for a moment and asked curiously. Zhu Tong, Lei Heng didn't make a sound, but it seemed that Han Wu also listened with his ears pricked up.

"Hey, I've learned a little from people, and I understand a little." It is impossible for Chao Gai to tell others that he knows the historical trajectory, so he can only open his eyes and talk nonsense.

"Eat and drink, Brother Han, have time to have a good chat."

After a short episode, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and gradually got acquainted.

Chao Gai felt that the future ZTE star Han Shizhong was a great hero. He has a strategy in his mind and knows how to march and fight, and he is a rare talent.

The ability in all aspects is much stronger than the Liangshan heroes in the original trajectory. If there is such a character to join your faction, it will be like a tiger with wings.

He knew that this arrogant Po Han Wu was not so easy to accept. But since he ran into this ZTE celebrity, he couldn't let him run.

Take 10,000 steps back, and if you can't accept it, then hand it over.

It is to ask for warmth with Chao Gai, and the attitude is extraordinarily warm and sincere. Han Wu was quite moved, and secretly sighed that Chao Tianwang really lived up to his reputation.

Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, talking and laughing.

Except for Wang Yuan, a scholar who can't carry his shoulders and can't lift his hands, the four of them are all outstanding in martial arts. Naturally, it was said that archery on horseback, dancing with guns and sticks.

Zhu Tong and Lei Heng learned that this burly young man Han Wu was indeed a strong martial artist, and it was the two of them who were despised, and they all raised their wine glasses to apologize for their rudeness, Han Wu was also surprised that Yuncheng was very magical, both of them were very strong in martial arts, and they didn't dare to hold it up immediately, and the three of them clinked glasses one after another.

"Heavenly King, brother has a surprise for you!" Wang Yuan saw that the other three were eating and drinking, and no one was paying attention, so he came to Chao Gai's side and said mysteriously.

"Brother Wang, what kind of surprise?" Seeing this, Chao Gai hurriedly asked. In fact, I didn't expect anything from this guy's surprise, Yuncheng was only equipped with leather armor and a hard bow, and there was enough equipment purchased from Yuncheng and the state capital during this time.

But when he heard the next words, his eyes suddenly widened and his spirits were excited. It turned out that Wang Yuan was a little nervous, and then he leaned closer and said in the smallest voice: "Hey, hey, brother, don't you want to buy iron armor?" ”

The word "iron armor", Chao Gai's heart was pounding. Weapons such as axes and knives can be crafted by blacksmiths, but armor cannot be done. First, it is difficult to produce, and second, it is highly protective, and the imperial court strictly prohibits it.

The county magistrate has a big package, Zhang Luo helped to get the iron armor, and he has just had an eyebrow until now. The 1,000 taels of silver that I gave before was the hardship fee given in advance. Now that Wang Fatzi suddenly mentioned this matter, how could it not arouse his interest?

"Iron armor?" Chao Gai poured a full bottle of wine for the fat man, and asked in a low voice when he watched vigilantly: "The county master has just been contacted, does Brother Wang also have a way?" ”

"He can't do it, but I know a lot of officers in the Western Army."

"Oh, if Brother Wang can get it, he won't let his brother suffer."

"Hey, our friendship, I believe it!"

"Brother Wang, say it quickly, don't whet people's appetites."

"Hehe, brother, I asked someone to deliver the letter a month ago......"

……

Chao Gai and Wang Yuan exchanged heads and discussed the matter of iron armor. Seeing that this fat man had a fart appearance, he couldn't wait to go up, so he gave him a few big mouths. However, in order to get a strong defensive iron armor, he still has patience.

However, just when the two of them muttered to the critical moment.

"Woo, sir, woe, woe." Suddenly, someone rushed to the top of the building, and the shouts got closer and closer, so that the noise in the pavilion quickly quieted down.

……
