Dengyun Mountain Zou Yuan, Zou Run, the two owners of the village are not rich, but the arrangement of the reception banquet is very rich, chickens, ducks and geese are ready, cattle, sheep and pigs are not lacking, melons, fruits and vegetables are decorated, and the old wine is dug out, and Chao Gai and his party are entertained to their heart's content.

As the host, the uncle and nephew are new to Chaojiazhuang, with a warm attitude, actively integrating into the group, and taking the initiative to talk about wine with everyone, talking about everything.

From dusk until late at night!

After a banquet, the Zou uncle and nephew showed their own boldness, which greatly increased the goodwill of generals such as Han Shizhong, Yu Tai, and Chen Hu, and they became familiar with each other!

Chao Gai came to Dengzhou and settled down in Dengyun Cottage.

The next day, Ouyang Shoutong was knocked down, and Ma Yuan, the brocade python, went down the mountain and left. They were to return to Salt Island to organize men and ships. As for the island occupied by the smuggling salt gang, it is about dozens of miles away from Dengzhou City.

The island is small in size, but it has fresh water and abundant vegetation. It is one of the many islands and reefs in the North Sea, located in seclusion, and Chao Gai is also unknown. The islands of Shandong, like the lion on the Lugou Bridge, are too numerous.

Zou Yuan, Zou Run's uncle and nephew were not to be outdone, and took a few henchmen down the mountain. As planned, contact the right vessel and the old fishermen who are familiar with the terrain. Before leaving, don't forget to arrange a few clever minions to entertain the guests.

Besides, Chao Gai is also not idle.

The first is the officers and men of the Eighth Infantry Army and the Fourth Cavalry Army who are waiting for long-distance training. Transform into a caravan, a team of outcasts, or bandits to arrive at the designated location.

The 2nd and 3rd Naval Corps designated routes and monitored the movements of the Dengzhou Navy Division. Although the Northern Song Dynasty did not attach importance to the naval army, the coastal state capitals of the neighboring Liao State were still garrisoned by naval divisions, which were used for patrols and vigilance in peacetime.

The other is to lead a team to patrol on and around Dengyun Mountain to understand the terrain. Go to the coast to find a suitable ferry stop and pick all kinds of wild fruits along the way.

In a flash, the past two days!

The Chao family army marched, and the cavalry and the two armies were ready.

Ma Yuan mobilized more than 20 suitable ships on the island.

Zou's uncle and nephew also brought in a lot of large fishing boats from the fishermen, a total of 100 large and small boats and sailors anchored in the unmanned harbor, and several old fishermen who had been to Salmon Island to fish also accepted the invitation and were willing to help lead the way.

Only the Dengzhouping Navy cruise route is not staggered, and it needs to wait.

I can't rush this matter!

Therefore, Chao Gai asked Han Shizhong, Chen Hu and others to pay attention to the movement. Under the leadership of Zou Yuan and Zou Run, he went to the ten-mile card outside the east gate of Dengzhou City.

He really wanted to come to visit the heroes of Dengzhou for a long time.

In the original trajectory, the Liangshan Dengzhou faction was full of people, in addition to the forest dragon Zou Yuan, the one-horned dragon Zou Run's uncle and nephew, there were also two-headed snake Xie Zhen, two-tailed scorpion Xie Bao, Xiao Wei Chi Sun Xin, mother insect Gu sister-in-law, sick captain Chi Sun Li, iron called Zi Lehe, a total of eight heroes, very important in Liangshan.

It's just that he has been suppressed by Song Jiang. Chi Sun Li, a fierce general at the level of the Five Tigers, was not ranked in Tiangang, and could only be ranked among the sixteenth junior generals.

Chao Gai always sighed, and some of them complained about this group. Zou Yuan, Zou Run loves to gamble, as long as he has money, he always goes to Shili Pai. As a result, the uncle and nephew became good friends with Xiao Wei Chi Sun Xin and his wife.

In the past few days, this matter has been mentioned at the banquet.

Zou Yuan, Zou Run's uncle and nephew were busy contacting ships and manpower, and they didn't hold back their gambling. Now I have time to be chic, with the money in hand, and I can't wait to lead the way.

Chao Gai knew that pornography, gambling and drugs were extremely harmful, and he didn't like it, so he strictly banned it in the Chao family's army. When you meet a brother who likes to gamble, you will always nag a few words.

"Two brothers, gambling is not good, nine out of ten bets are lost, you must restrain your desires. It's always like this, how much money is not enough to lose, and the family is bankrupt. ”

"Hey, hey, it's fun! That's what we love. ””

"As the saying goes, there are no fathers and sons in the casino, and your uncles and nephews must be staring at each other. It hurts both the body and the peace, so try to gamble less and don't gamble. If you are lustful and marry a wife, I won't say anything about marrying ten or eight. ”

"You ask Brother Shi Yong, after he came to Chaojiazhuang, did he still gamble?"

"Quit, since I stopped gambling, I saved a lot of money, enough to open a few casinos."

More than ten horsemen rushed to Dengzhou City without hurrying, and Chao Gai said earnestly to the Zou uncle and nephew not to gamble, analyzing the various benefits and disadvantages. Shi Yong, who came over, had a melancholy face, and kept nodding his head next to him. Use your own experiences and changes during this period to warn your good friends to quit gambling.

That's right, since Shi Yong joined Chaojiazhuang, he has been busy training the army or running the hotel in the restaurant system, firstly because of strict military regulations and military discipline, and secondly, because he is busy with affairs, he has hardly touched gambling again. Because there is no gambling, there are a lot of dividends and thousands of taels of accumulation.

"Brother, don't worry, we try to restrain ourselves as much as possible and control our desires." Zou Yuan, Zou Run's uncle and nephew seemed to be infected, and said solemnly.

"Okay, it's good to have this determination!"

Chao Gai knew that this matter was not in a hurry, so he had to take it step by step and smiled encouragingly.

Laughing along the way, at noon, I came to the ten-mile card.

This is a post station set up by the government, but there are people who have settled around to form a settlement, there are more than 100 households, because it is close to Dengzhou City next to the official road, the flow of people is large, restaurants, shops are lined up.

The reason why this place is so prosperous is all due to two people.

One is the lieutenant Chi Sun Xin, who is a native of Qiongzhou, born in the descendants of officers, because of his brother Sun Liguan Bai, Dengzhou soldiers and horses, then settled in Dengzhou, and later married a local woman Gu sister-in-law as his wife, opened a hotel in Dengzhou East Gate outside the ten miles card, killed cattle and gambled. He was born strong and strong, and learned a skill from his brother, "making a few good whip guns", and was known as the lieutenant Chi.

The other is Gu's sister-in-law, in addition to the Gu family's forces, the woman has a bold personality, and her martial arts are very high, and twenty or thirty big men can't get close. Her husband "Little Captain Chi" Sun Xin is not low in martial arts, but he is not as good as Gu's sister-in-law.

All the businesses here are controlled by the mother and the eldest insect, Gu and the little lieutenant Chi Sun Xin. There is also a sick lieutenant Chi Sun standing in the officialdom, and he dares to provoke him.

In other words, this street has to listen to the couple.

There were Zou brothers explaining along the way, and everyone sighed.

Under the leadership of these two local snakes, they went to the largest restaurant, and asked a few men to quickly lead everyone's horses to the backyard to feed.

Zou's uncle and nephew are frequent customers of underground casinos, and they have a good relationship with the owner, who doesn't recognize them, and when they heard the shouting, they turned their heads and hurriedly ran over to say hello

Seeing Chao Gai and others again, it was not simple at first glance, and they didn't dare to slack off.

"Yo, two big brothers, here!" Some deep female voices sounded, and a woman strode out of the back hall and waved at the Zou uncle and nephew.

Zou Run grinned and didn't say a word, and Zou Yuan's face, which had been straight, also showed a smile: "Hahaha, brother and sister, I've been busy these days, and I've come here when I have nothing to do,"

"Two old gamblers, save some money to marry a daughter-in-law." The woman laughed and cursed. She is burly, more than seven feet, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a fat face and waist. Insert a strange hairpin ring, revealing the arms of the fashionable bracelet. Six red dresses, like May pomegranate flowers. There are several layers of green collars, and the willows are dyed in three springs.

Although he is tall, he is not ugly, but has outstanding appearance. A pair of big feet, walking, tiger and tiger, at first glance, it is a practicing family.

Chao Gai looked the woman up and down, and knew who it was without being reminded by Zou's uncle and nephew. Just this body is not comparable to ordinary women. Sometimes when he gets angry, he hits his husband on the head when he lifts the well railing; Suddenly, the heart was anxious, and he knocked over the leg of Zhuang Ke with a stone mill. Born to not be able to pull a needle and thread, it is the mother of the mountain.

Although she is a woman, she has a bold personality and attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is the most critical figure in the Dengzhou faction. Sun Xin's two cousins, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao was framed by Mao Taigong and put on death row, Sun Xin and his wife were ready to rob the prison to save people, please climb Yunshan Zou Yuan, Zou Run to help, and forced his own uncle to help. robbed the prison and saved people and defected to Liangshan.

"Husband, this sister looks so fierce." Floral Lala Chao covered clothes.

"This is a heroine among women." Chao Gai chuckled under his breath.

Sister-in-law Gu, this woman is not simple, brave and strategic!

In the original trajectory, he sneaked into the prison twice to do internal things, once when he rescued Zhen and Jie Bao, and the other time when he went to rescue the "Nine Pattern Dragon" Shi Jin, they were both very witty. In the end, the generals of Liangshan suffered heavy losses. And Gu's sister-in-law was able to take her husband Chi Sun Xin with her whole body.

It can be seen that its strategy must not be underestimated.

"Oh, two brothers, and what are these guests?" The woman walked closer and saw Chao Gai and the others behind, and her eyes stayed on Hu Sanniang and Huazi. Turning around, he looked at the Zou uncle and nephew with a little confusion.

"Today is a distinguished guest." Zou Yuan pointed to Chao Gai and introduced: "This surnamed Chao is from Jeju, doing something, and settling down with us." ”

"Surname Chao? From Jeju? Isn't it the king of heaven Chao Gai who is here? Chao Gai's name is too big, the woman was stunned when she heard this, and then immediately thought of it.

"The mother insect Gu sister-in-law is bold and righteous, strong in martial arts, Chao has heard a lot, and I came to pay a visit." Chao Gai nodded in acknowledgement, then clasped his fists and saluted. Yu Tai and Shi Yong brought gifts such as silk and silk that had been prepared.

As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, let alone give a gift to visit.

"Boss, there's a guest coming!" Sister-in-law Gu saw that it was really Chao Gai who gave a gift, turned around and yelled at the inner hall, and then entertained Chao Gai and the others. Introduce the inner pavilion, let people bring melons and fruits, and serve good tea.

"Sister-in-law, who's coming?" A big man opened the curtain and entered.

"Heavenly King, this is a man from my family, he is used to being reckless, and he is smiling." Sister-in-law Gu smiled, then turned around and pulled the man to mutter.

"Oh, King Chao is coming, the small shop is shining, meet the adults."

"This, Brother Sun Xin, if you want to be like this, I don't want to do this here." Chao Gai hurriedly stepped forward to support the man and looked up and down.

The big man is eight feet six or seven tall, with a broad chest and a tiger's back. But he has good facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance. Sure enough, the military class is a talented man, and his eyebrows are mighty. Whip up the oolong to see, the gun comes to the jade python to fly. He has a great ambition in his chest, and he has a tiger and wolf wife at home. People everywhere admire, Sun Xin is late.

It's a fierce general's blank!

"Brother, don't be polite to your brother, your own family, don't see outside." Zou Yuan and Zou Run stepped forward to persuade one after another, with some complaints on their faces.

"Sit down, let's sit down." Sister-in-law Gu hurriedly broke the siege.

"Come on, a big feast to entertain the VIPs." Sun Xin turned around and shouted from outside. Then warmly beckoned Chao Gai and the others to sit down, drink tea and chat.
