"Master, something is wrong!"

A dogleg ran back in a panic.

Ai Yingjia, who was accompanying Yan Zibin to the banquet, looked unhappy: "What's the matter?" ”

"Those Diao people rebelled and kidnapped Li Hongji."

Dogleg Ziyu reports.

Ai Yingjia froze for a moment, but only for a moment.

Are there still fewer people making trouble in northern Shaanxi? There is no shortage of these.

Yan Zibin said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. I sent someone to arrest him, but those people still dare to resist. ”

After that, he ordered his subordinates to take all the officials and go straight to Li Jiqian's village.

It turned out to be a no-brainer.

It turned out that after Li Hongji was rescued, he knew that the government would send someone to arrest him, so he simply persuaded his neighbors to leave with him and find a place to stay.

This place was a peasant army active near Mizhi County, and its leader was named Zhang Cunmeng, nicknamed Bu Mud.

Zhang Cunmeng heard someone running away and led a group of leaders to greet him at the door of the house.

From afar, I saw Li Hongji and the ragged people helping the old and the young, walking towards them.

Zhang Cunmeng frowned slightly: "This group of people is also useful?" ”

His subordinate Winged Tiger smiled: "Big brother, what do you care about these things for, but someone can defect." ”

"We're going to go all over the place, and it's a burden to take these people with us." Zhang Cunmeng was not at ease.

Another subordinate, Zijin Liang, said: "Why don't you let them join the gang first, and wait for them to submit their names, and then join the gang." ”

"Okay." Zhang Cunmeng heard that the two subordinates had the intention of taking them in, and nodded reluctantly.

Li Hongji was far away, so he didn't hear this conversation, so he approached and hurriedly saluted.

Zhang Cunmeng replied: "I am not muddy to be able to get you to defect, I am very honored." ”

Li Hongji said: "Li Mou is an honest person, if it weren't for the oppression of the government, he wouldn't be here." Now that he has arrived here, he will only obey the order of the big brother who will not get muddy in the future. ”

"Don't be busy, watch you all the way, wait until you've eaten."

Zhang Cunmeng made a "please" gesture.

"Thank you."

Li Hongji turned around and secretly exchanged glances with Li Guo, and was faintly worried.

At the banquet, seeing that Zhang Cunmeng did not mention the matter of taking him in, Li Hongji was even more worried.

Waiting for Zhang Cunmeng to toast, Li Hongji picked up the wine bowl and said: "Don't stick to the mud big brother, the old Li is a rough person, he doesn't know how to twist and turn, please give a happy word, whether you can accept the amount or not." ”

The slightly lively banquet suddenly quieted down.

Zhang Cunmeng didn't want to say it on this occasion, but when he saw Li Hongji pressing, he had to say: "According to the rules of our road, you must accept the name of the gang to join the gang." ”

To vote for the name is to have blood on your hands as a sign of loyalty.

After hearing this, Li Hongji laughed and said, "This thing is naturally going to be done!" When we were full of food and drink, we went down the mountain to cast our name for the eldest brother. ”

"How many days will you not rest?" Zhang Cunmeng said hypocritically.

"No, I don't. Please sit down, big brother, and I will be victorious. ”

Li Hongji said, raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl.

Drink until late before the table ends.

Early the next morning, Li Hongji carefully selected dozens of young people and said goodbye to Zhang Cunmeng and other cottage leaders with Li Guo.

With these young people, Li Hongji's uncle and nephew deliberately haunted the southeast of Mizhi County.

When Ai Yingjia heard about this, he personally went to the house of Wang Wenchang, a Wuju person.

Wang Wenchang's home is in the southeast of Mizhi County.

"Master Ai, don't worry, that's my opponent."

Wang Wenchang glanced at the treasure given by Ai Yingjia, "With me and dozens of Zhuang Ding under my command, we can beat Li Hongji to lose his armor." ”

"So I will wait for the good news of the prince."

Ai Yingjia said with his fists clenched.

"Well said, well said."

Wang Wenchang ordered 70 Zhuang Ding on the same day and went straight to the place where Li Hongji haunted.

Northern Shaanxi is not very peaceful, and many squires will privately hire some strong men to act as Zhuang Ding in order to keep their family property.

These vicious dogs are usually taken care of by the family and the hospital, and they will come out of the cage and bite people when something happens.

The local people suffered greatly, but no one dared to fight back. I can't fight back, so I can only swallow my anger.

Wang Wenchang led the seventy Zhuang Ding to Xinzhuang in the southeast of Mizhi County.

I saw a group of ragged people.

They also saw Wang Wenchang and Zhuang Ding brought by Wang Wenchang.

"Brothers, someone from the government is here, run."

The people turned around and ran.

When Wang Wenchang saw it, he ordered loudly: "Chase!" Whoever kills more people will get the master's reward. ”

When Zhuang Ding heard this, he was not afraid of Diao Min, and he became more and more energetic.

They chased from Xinzhuang to the northeast and soon crossed the village of Liujiaping.

The more Wang Wenchang chased, the more he felt that something was wrong: "These guys, how can they run so much." When I looked up at the terrain again, I was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

It is a long and narrow valley flanked by cliffs.

"Withdraw! Evacuate quickly and return to Liujiaping Village. Wang Wenchang shouted.

Zhuang Ding, who was chasing hard, stopped when he heard the call of his master.

They looked confused and did not understand why they were retreating.

Soon, they got the answer.

Oooooooooo......oo

On both sides of the canyon appeared the Diao, who let out strange screams and pushed the prepared stones down the hill.

Thundered...... The sound of rolling stones resounded through the valley.

Then the miserable howl of Zhuang Ding being smashed sounded.

Diao Min crossed his hands on his hips, stood on the mountain and laughed.

After being bullied by these dogs for so long, I finally got this bad breath.

"Don't mess around, come out with me."

Wang Wenchang rode his horse and commanded the remaining Zhuang Ding to withdraw from the valley.

Then, what they saw was Li Hongji appearing in front of them with a few Diao people.

"Li Hongji!" Wang Wenchang shouted, "Catch him and reward him for a tael." ”

"Kill."

The Zhuang Ding howled excitedly and rushed towards Li Hongji.

Wang Wenchang rode a horse and followed Zhuang Ding.

Suddenly, he felt the horse's hooves step into the air, and before he could react, he smashed the horse into the pit.

"Brothers, come on!" Li Hongji personally lifted the stone and smashed it towards Wang Wenchang in the pit.

Li Guo and others also threw stones into the pit and stoned them to death.

Standing opposite, Zhuang Ding, who was lucky enough not to fall in, was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Lay down your arms and come over yourself."

Some places in the pit have been filled with stones, Li Hongji ordered.

The surviving Zhuang Ding trembled and did as he said, and was hit by a sudden stone as soon as he walked into the pit and before he could climb.

It was Lee Hong-gi who threw the stone!

"These vicious dogs will not repent, kill me!"

Li Hongji said murderously.

In the end, all the Zhuang Ding were buried in stone.

Li Hongji went down to the pit, pulled out the Yanling knife on Wang Wenchang's waist, and cut off Wang Wenchang's head.

Carrying it, he submitted his name to Zhang Cunmengna.

Zhang Cunmeng was overjoyed: "Brother Li, you will be my brother in the future." There are already seven teams in our army, and the people you bring are called 'eight teams'!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Bumud!" Li Hongji knelt down to thank him.

Zhang Cunmeng helped him up: "According to the rules of the road, you have to have a nickname." ”

"Ask the eldest brother to give the younger brother a nickname."

"You are from a horse household, and there is a horse in the door, so you are called Chuang! Well...... Gao Yingxiang calls himself the king of Chuang, you are called Chuangjun! ”

"Brother Xie gives him a nickname, and the younger brother will be called a general in the future."

"The name should also be changed, Li Hongji's name is too elegant, it will make other leaders think that you are a scholar."

"Little brother has already thought of a name on the road."

"Oh? What's the name? ”

"Li Zicheng!"

Chuang general Li Zicheng!
