Chapter 403: Passing through Erlong Mountain
At the beginning of mid-August, spend a few days in the Mid-Autumn Festival!
The Liangshan fleet drifted at sea for a few days and arrived at the Dengzhou Navy Division Base first. Wang Jin rested there for the night, drinking with Ruan Xiaoer and Ma Yuan. The next day, leaving behind a lot of island specialties, he led his team south.
The fleet traveled for a day and sailed into the Beiqing River in Qingzhou!
Wang Jin learned more or less about the situation in the Great Song Dynasty from the expedition fleet. Knowing that the old man Chao Gai could not get rid of his fate, he went up the mountain and fell into the grass, and did not go to Liangshan to join the gang, but settled in Erlong Mountain, which was prepared for him early.
The fleet happened to arrive in Qingzhou, not far from the place where Chao Gai settled, so Wang Jin let the fleet dock, took his wife to lead the guards, and went to Erlong Mountain to visit with special products. Look at how much this Chao Heavenly King learned in Liangshan.
For Chao Gai's integrity, Wang Jin showed such respect. In the past, they sold illicit salt, and they were supplied at almost the lowest price, so that the other party could make a lot of money. Now that I have returned from overseas, I have learned the news and have not forgotten to bring souvenirs.
Not to mention Guo Sheng, Lu Fang, Yu Tai, Yu Baosi and others were puzzled, even Shang Guihua, Hu Sanniang and other pillow people were puzzled, but they didn't ask more.
Wang Jin sensed everyone's doubts, and immediately talked eloquently: "King Chao Tianwang is a good man who can stick a knife in both ribs and risk his life for his brother. The Liangshan family has a big business, strong soldiers and strong horses, and there is no need to fight hard. But in life, how many friends do you have? Don't forget the old brothers. ”
"Gou Fugui, don't forget each other!" Wang Jin searched his intestines and scraped his stomach and remembered this sentence. It is like a worldly master who is full of emotion and touches the people around him.
The team rode their horses, no one spoke, and it was quiet.
Wang Jin rode his horse to the carriage, and Li Qingzhao, who was looking at the probe, smiled and said:
"Qingzhao, let's go to Qingzhou, do you want to go to the village to have a look?"
The smile on Li Qingzhao's face retracted, and she naturally understood what it meant to go back to the village to see. Thinking of Zhao Mingcheng and his past, his face became more and more cold, and he rolled his eyes at Wang Jin and snorted coldly: "If you want to go, I won't go." ”
"If you don't go, I'll just say casually, don't be angry." Wang Jin, the woman, was a little angry and hurriedly smiled, saying that the scenery of Qingzhou is so beautiful.
The group talked and laughed, and went straight to Erlong Mountain with a familiar car.
It was true that the king came in to visit, and also wanted to see if Chao Gai had changed. Sent fast horses to disperse to inquire about the news, and Chao Gai, the king of Erlong Mountain, became famous.
Even the old farmers who work in the fields know a thing or two.
Such as the hero who robbed the birth gang, the bold and righteous village is upright. When he came to Erlongshan, he never oppressed the people, and he bought a lot of grain and vegetables. It is also a good king to eliminate harm for the people, distribute money and food......
In the past two months, Chao Gai's deeds have been widely spread and talked about with relish.
The most important point is that Erlong Mountain sells cheap refined salt, which makes the people of ten miles and eight towns grateful inexplicably, and there are many people who go to the mountain with their families.
Along the way, there was a lot of news about Chao Gai along the way.
Seven or eight miles near Erlong Mountain, a village store is very lively. There is a simple wooden fence all around, people come and go in it, shouting and shouting, some people set up stalls to sell goods, some people carry carts with burdens, there are also merchants who sell food, and the materials come to ......, bustling, just like a bazaar.
"Yes, King Chao is very capable." Wang Jin led the team to come and happened to see it, and sent people into it to inquire and learned that it was the place where Erlong Mountain sold refined salt in large quantities, every month
Three times, for three days, I can't help but sigh.
"Is this learning from us to heal the people?" Yutai pouted in disdain.
Wang Jin looked at the big black man and patiently said the exquisiteness: "Learning is also a kind of ability, make a gimmick, don't you know it when you find out?" As a common person, at the end of every decade and the beginning of the decade, I will think of Erlong Mountain. ”
Zhang San, a rat crossing the street, and Li Si, a grass snake, have seen the world, and their brains turn fast. He also had a good relationship with Yutai, and reminded him on the side: "Kuroko, this is like selling wine, there is a gap between a name and a name." Just like a rice flower fragrance and a nameless drink, which one do you choose? ”
"Of course, it's the scent of rice flowers!" Yu Tai didn't think about answering.
"It's the same for this gimmick to make a name for yourself." Wang Jin added on the side. The black man who didn't seem to understand it or not, continued to lead the team to Erlong Mountain.
But this time, before he had walked half a mile, a group of men and horses in front of him turned out of the forest. The head is an eight-foot-tall, black man like an iron tower, dignified and majestic, it is the king of Tota Chao Gai. On the left hand side is Wu Yong, who is holding a feather fan and wearing a scarf, and on the right is a beautiful eyebrow, and the outstanding ones are Shi Jin, Shi Dalang, Xiao Rang, Bai Sheng and others. (Bai Sheng was arrested in prison, and Chao Gai spent money to buy it up and down)
Wang Jin and his entourage saw clearly who the oncoming person was.
Chao Gai and Wu Yong also saw the people opposite, and recognized Wang Jin, Shang Guihua, Hu Sanniang, Guo Sheng and others. With a smile on his face, he came quickly.
"Master, master." Shi Jin and Huazi shouted in surprise.
"Hahahaha......," Chao Gai laughed heartily, and when he got nearby, he quickly turned over and dismounted and ran: "Brother Xian, the spy said that it was Wang Zhai."
The Lord came with a team, and I didn't believe it. Is it really you, brother, right now? ”
"It's still the same, big brother, red face, all wishes come true."
Wang Jin also jumped off the horse and met Chao Gai, and the two of them held their arms and laughed. The leaders of both sides are old acquaintances, and they greet each other.
Wu Yong, Han Bolong has a kind attitude, and there are many words to please Wang Jin. The latter talked to the leaders of Erlong Mountain one by one and gave enough face.
Chao Gai ignored Wu Xue's eyes, took Wang Jin's hand and asked with concern: "Brother Xian has never been in the cottage, so what is the matter, you need to work in person?" If there is a place to find a brother, just ask. ”
The smile on Wang Jin's face retracted, and he said with a solemn face: "Busy with the affairs of my Liangshan Water Army, the Northern Jurchens have defeated the Liao State one after another. Dengzhou is only separated by an inland sea, but the defense measures are indispensable. ”
Wang Jin did not reveal the matter of Jeju Island overseas, and Dengju Salt Island was not a secret and was not concealed. And it is also true that the naval army stationed on Yandao is always on guard against Jurchen spies and threats from the north.
"That's what happened, for, brother Xian, go, go to the mountains to eat and drink."
"Okay, this time I'm here to see the eldest brother, and I also brought a lot of specialties."
Chao Gai's bold invitation, Wang Jin naturally would not refuse, and both sides laughed. Quickly got on the horse, the two teams formed a group, and rushed to Erlong Mountain.
While chatting halfway, Wang Jin learned that Erlong Mountain has changed a lot now. With the past two months, Chao Gai has built a series of robberies and robberies for the people. Originally, from a thousand minions, to now three thousand. The 3rd Infantry Battalion had withdrawn by water more than 10 days earlier
Back to Liangshan.
"Thanks to the virtuous brother for giving such a good hill to settle down, otherwise he would have been hiding everywhere."
Everyone came to the foot of Erlong Mountain, and Chao Gai looked at Xiongguan with emotion.
Wang Jin smiled silently, and suddenly asked again: "Big brother, can you forget Song Zhisi?" ”
Chao Gai nodded with a smile, and Han Bolong next to him had a righteous and awe-inspiring face: "Then you don't need to say!" The elder brother said that Song Zhisi risked his life to report the news, and he could not be ungrateful, and more than ten days ago, it was the younger brother who went to Yuncheng to send some gold and silver......"
"Fate is impermanent!" Wang Jin didn't know whether he was happy or sad, and sighed faintly. Later, Chao Gai and others were extremely disgusted and invited to go up the mountain and be hospitalized.
These people eat meat and drink wine, drink heartily, and are not happy.
And in Yuncheng, Song Jiang, the first priest, killed Yan Poxi, the outer house, and fled out of the city in a panic and returned to his hometown. Anxious like a lost dog, vast like a fish that has slipped through the net.
The cause was a hundred taels of gold and a letter of thanks sent by Chao Gai, the lord of Erlong Mountain. was found out by the woman she raised by herself, and she had to kill the killer. Back in Songjiazhuang, he hid in the backyard and in the cellar of the Buddhist hall, and did not dare to take his head.
What happened to Song Abshiji once again proves that some things are predestined in the dark!
