The three leaders of Mulan Mountain are full of martial arts, so they naturally don't want to bear the infamy of thieves. I very much agreed with Chao Gai's proposal and decided to abandon the cottage and go to Yuncheng Juyi!

In the next few days, Du Yan was busy with the affairs of the cottage. Gather seven or eight hundred minions on the mountain, and follow them if they are willing to follow, and they are not willing to send money to dismiss. Valuables, grain trucks, counting livestock......

Chao Gai knew that Jinghu and Huaixi had many fierce generals, and originally planned to use Mulan Sanxiong as a breakthrough to ask other heroes with surnames to visit, and if he could get into the gang if he understood the situation, he would pull in the gang. If you can't get together, you can make friends.

The dozen or so good horses brought with you are proof of that!

But he took it for granted, or maybe the ancient information transmission was relatively backward. Although the three heroes of Mulan have occupied the top of the mountain for a year or two, they have heard of many heroes, but they don't know where they are.

Otherwise, they would have sent someone down the mountain or personally visited to invite them. It's like they know how powerful Yuan Lang is, and they sent people to invite them several times.

Jishan Four Tiger Generals, Liu Yuan, Pan Zhong......

Chao Gai thought about it, but he didn't think of where these people lived. Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, knew it, but this girl's fortune tellers couldn't find it. Others, such as the Gong brothers and Duan Er and Duan Wu, are better not to be found.

The plan was shelved, so he could only honestly live on Mulan Mountain, show his face in front of the little minions, brag and help deal with affairs.

Fortunately, it is not boring for these two reckless men to talk to him. I have been in the mountains for three days, and the preparations are nearing completion.

On this day, Chao Gai discussed the itinerary with Du Yan and Yuan Lang in the Juyi Hall, and the loud voice outside the hall suddenly sounded and came from far and near: "Brother, I heard the magpie calling early in the morning, do you see who is back?" ”

"Hey, this brother is good anywhere, he loves to babble." Yuan Lang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"This is the true temperament, let's go, go and see!" Chao Gai smiled and got up, holding Du Yan with one hand and Yuan Lang with the other, and walked out of the hall hand in hand.

Sure enough, I saw a big man galloping over. This big man is none other than Ma Fang, who separated to find his relatives after coming to Jinghu Road. The Ma family was once quite famous in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, but later declined and dispersed.

In order to avoid disaster, the Arima family came to the Jinghu area!

Yu Tai, Wei He heard that a stranger was coming up the mountain, and rushed over one after another. Chao Gai made an introduction to both sides, and the heroes got together, and it was a pleasant greeting!

After coming to the Justice Hall and taking a seat, your own minions will serve tea!

"Brother Ma Fang, have you ever found your relatives?" Chao Gai asked expectantly.

"Well, Brother Lao is worried about finding Uncle in Jingnan City." Ma Fang was very happy to mention this incident, since he met his father on Jinghu North Road when he was a child, and he has never been here since his parents passed away.

Now that he saw that his relatives were alive, he was in a good mood, so he told him about the things he inquired about along the way after they separated, and at the end he patted his head and hurriedly said: "Brother, good news! I have two cousins, twin brothers. The elder brother Ma Xun and the younger brother Ma Jin have a loyal personality and strong martial arts. ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Chao Gai suddenly got up, and his voice was out of tune. He had the feeling of being hit by a pie, but he didn't expect that Ma Fang, who was rescued on the cross slope of the big tree, was actually related to the Ma brothers in the Jishan Five Tigers.

And it's pretty close!

Ma Xun and Ma Jin did not have the opportunity to fight with the generals of Liangshan in the original trajectory, unlike Yuan Lang, the Teng brothers, who performed so dazzlingly, but they could be as famous as them, and they were fierce generals with high martial arts.

Especially his elder brother Ma Qiang, who joined forces with Zhu Ji to fight Tang Bin and kill him. But it's still the same sentence, this kind of fierce will be buried in history.

Talent! Good thugs!

Chao Gai heard that these two people had a problem with their love for talent, and he was a little anxious: "Brother, it is the time to employ people, are your two cousins willing to join the gang?" ”

"Brother, these two surnamed Ma are very powerful?" Everyone was a little curious when they saw Chao Gai's appearance. He pouted, a little unconvinced.

"Hehehe, when I was a private businessman, I had heard that there were many heroes in Jinghu Huaixi. The three heroes of Mulan are the most famous, and the Ma brothers are not bad. Chao Gai lied, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, and it was an old routine of praise.

"The elder brother Ma Xuan, the white-haired tiger, and the younger brother Ma Jin and the scar tiger, all have the courage to be unstoppable. It's just that I didn't expect my brother to be cousins. ”

When Yu Tai heard Chao Gai's praise, he knew that no matter how weak the Ma family brothers were, they would not be much weaker, so he asked urgently: "Then what are you waiting for, win over the gang, Ma Fang brothers, are they willing to defect to their brothers?" ”

"It's not difficult to invite in!" Ma Fang nodded, and then sighed again: "Hey! But my uncle is old, and he is sick and can't leave his homeland. My two brothers have been filial lately, and I guess it's a bit ......."

"Is that so? Let's go, I'll visit in person! Look at the old people and find a civilian doctor. Chao Gai pondered for a moment, then got up again and prepared to go in person.

Seeing that he was resolute, Du Yan hurriedly pointed at Ma Fang, who was tired, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, Brother Ma Fang is tired from running around for a few days, so it is better to go again tomorrow." ”

"It's me Meng Lang, then listen to my brother and determine the return route." Seeing this, Chao Gai was indeed impatient, smiled and called everyone to discuss.

Something was discussed, and after half an hour, there was a plan. The four or five hundred minions who were willing to follow were divided into three caravans. From the northwest, it is diagonally inserted into the Shandong boundary along the junction of Huaixi and Jingxi Road.

Considering that there are young and old members of the entourage, it is necessary to be fully prepared in advance. There is enough food in the cottage to lack medicinal materials, so I went to Jingnan City to purchase it by the way.

Finally, there is the problem of the entourage, and Yu Tai is also clamoring to go. But his identity was not decided until the banquet was ready

As the host, Du Yan beckoned everyone to go to the banquet.

Needless to say, fat chickens and ducks, roast goose and fried fish ......, good wine and good meat. Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, talked and laughed, and ate a nonsense meal.

Time flies, the next morning!

Chao Gai was worried about his fierce general brother, and took more than 30 people down Mulan Mountain. Except for Yuan Lang, Su Qi, Ma Fang and a few personal guards, the rest were all sent by Du Bai to act as accompanying guards and escort supplies back.

Everyone rode horses and soon descended Mulan Mountain.

After walking a distance, Chao Gai, who was walking in the front, turned around abruptly and shouted: "Sai Qin Qiong Yutai, you come out for me, what are you hiding?" ”

"Hey, hey, brother, did you find me?" One of the horsemen in the group left the team and accelerated violently. A man dressed in a cloth and with a torn turban on his head laughed. The cheeks are dark and vicious, and he deliberately bows his back, who else can he be if he is not Yutai?

"! With such a little person, you behave strangely, who can you hide? Chao Gai was very speechless, and found a little minion bending over and pouting his ass in the cottage, so he couldn't find out how blind he had to be?

"It's like, look at that head, black look." His face was full of contempt.

"Hide, don't shout!"

"If you don't obey, I'll tie you up."

Chao Gai didn't give these two reckless men a chance to fight, and told Yu Tai with a serious expression. He said this with great confidence, because force is highly capable of fighting. Remembering the fiasco of more than a dozen challenges, he nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

After this little episode! The horse side led the way, and the crowd followed. Just more than ten miles away from Mulan Mountain, I saw many refugees.

There were about two or three hundred people, some carrying burdens, some pushing wheelbarrows, carrying the old and the young, dragging their families and families, and fled from the East. There were men and women, mostly old and weak, women and children, dressed in tatters and with haggard faces. Some of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, and children are crying, and the scene is sad.

Chao Gai couldn't bear to see these blank-looking people, turned over and dismounted, called the old man pushing the two babies in a wheelbarrow, took out a few pieces of bread and handed them to the child, and asked, "Uncle, where did you come from?" ”

The old man was a little flustered at first, but seeing that Chao Gai was very kind, he relaxed his guard and sighed: "Hey, this official, the old man fled from Jiangnan. ”

Gangnam? Chao Gai's first thought was Fang La, and then Hua Shigang, who had harmed many people, had a gloomy face and asked tentatively.

"But it's because of the Taihu Stone?"

"Oh, not really! The rich and the rich will pay, and the poor will pay for us. How many have been sent and have not come back, and it is estimated that they will die outside! ”

The old man nodded gloomily, and the man who was passing by with his burden stopped in response. A group of people here did not leave, and more and more people stopped to rest.

"Uncle, are you here to join your relatives?"

"Ouch, official, if you have relatives, you have already defected!"

"I really couldn't survive in Jiangnan, so I left my hometown."

"That is, the three babies in the family will never return, so they can only flee to other places."

……

When it comes to sad things, these low-level people burst out emotionally and sigh. There are even some elderly people with grandchildren, wiping tears and choking up.

"Straight lady thief, what kind of world is this?"

Seeing that the people were miserable and thinking of themselves, they couldn't help but be angry and scolded. Yuan Lang, Yu Tai, Ma Fang and other little minions were also scolding.

Chao Gai felt that he couldn't watch like this, so after thinking about it, he stepped forward and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, be quiet first, and listen to Chao's words." ”

Chao Gai's voice was low and magnetic, quickly quieting the noisy crowd. The people who had gathered subconsciously cast their gazes.

"I heard that there is a Tota Heavenly King Chao Gai in Shandong, who is generous and righteous, and opens a porridge shed to help the poor people and help them make a living. You have fled and come and have no place to run, it is better to go north to Jeju, Shandong. If you ask casually, you can know that Tianwang Chao Gai can go to him for help. There is absolutely food and clothing, and no one dares to bully you. ”

"Official, is this true?" The face of the old man in front of him was full of surprise.

"It is absolutely true, if there is half a lie, it will be struck by thunder that day. Go, if you encounter people fleeing, take them all with you and go to the Heavenly King! ”

Chao Gai swore a poisonous oath to the sky in full view of everyone, picked out more than a dozen young men from the crowd, explained the route of travel, and reported the name of the king if there was anything. immediately relentlessly and led the team to turn over and speed up.

He was afraid that if he didn't leave, the money he carried with him would be gone. If you want to help those poor people thoroughly, you can only develop your power quickly.

The infamy of thieves is not because of falling grass, but because they are weak!
