The old Longshan village that makes Jianzhou and Xuantong two counties frightened, is located at the junction of Jianzhou and Xuantong two counties, the old Longshan stretches for hundreds of miles, half in Jianzhou and half in Xuantong, the main peak of Laolongshan is as high as a thousand zhang, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even in the mountainous Jiannan, the steepness and height of Laolong Mountain are also ranked first. When He Yongjiang chose such a place to occupy the mountain as the king, it was obviously carefully considered.

In this place of abundant resources, there is no decent road, and it is too difficult for the imperial court army to come once, and there is no decent road for eighty or ninety miles outside the mountain, even if you have an army of 100,000? This is also the reason why Tang Jiusheng, Qi Siyuan, Qiao Chongliang, Xu Zichu, Jin Chengzhang, and others only sent 3,000 elite soldiers to suppress the bandits after discussing with them. No matter how many people come, they can't put it away, and a large number of people means high consumption, and more military rations need to be prepared, but Jiannan Dao doesn't have so much money and food to consume.

After taking Luye's pseudo-Jiannan Palace, Tang Jiusheng found that half of the treasury had been emptied, and Niu Mandi did not tell the whereabouts of the gold and silver until he died, Tang Jiusheng probably guessed that there was no difference between eight or nine, except for a part left by Niu Mandi to his son Niu Zhicheng, the rest was probably moved away by Niu Mandi's cronies. No matter how big the family business is, it is inevitable that the tree will fall down in the end, and the father will die and the mother will marry. Tang Jiu stiffly clutched his wallet and didn't move, because next spring, Jian Nan, who was without a gang of cattle, needed the silver to prepare for farming and weaving.

As for the gold and silver treasures collected from the crypt of Biji Mountain, Tang Jiusheng hid it deep in the treasury of the palace, and only allocated a part, about three million taels of silver, so that Hou Jingxian, Ling Huyu and Zheng Daqiang, the bandit leader of Biji Mountain, were escorted to Yong'an, Tang Jiusheng knew that Emperor Yin Guang was also short of money, and the lack of money was simply blue-eyed, three million taels of silver, for the huge Dashang court, it was not much, but it was definitely enough for the emperor to support for a while, as long as the Dashang could breathe a sigh of relief, the situation would slowly improve.

Therefore, the emperor Yin Guang, who unexpectedly got this windfall from heaven, when he learned that this silver was obtained by Yulong Xingkong exploring the crypt, he said luckily: "I am trapped in the palace city, and suddenly get wealth, this providence is also! Tang Jiusheng, the second son of the National Teacher's Mansion, can be the king of Wei, so what is so strange about the third son of the Jiangdong Yulong family getting an earl.

Although Zheng Daqiang, the leader of the bandits of Biji Mountain, usurped the emperor, he was pardoned by the emperor for his death penalty because he went into the crypt to get a considerable amount of silver for the imperial court and recruited him to degrade Jiashan. Of course, these good words about Zheng Daqiang were all mentioned in Tang Jiusheng's secret letter to the emperor, and the emperor also sold him a favor to defend the king.

As for Zheng Daqiang, a bandit leader who has no soldiers and horses, it doesn't matter at all, and when he returns to the people, he can't make any waves, and he uses Zheng Daqiang's matter to set an example for anti-thieves everywhere, anti-thieves, there is no good end, Zheng Daqiang is lost and knows how to return, so he has a glimmer of life. However, the emperor also said in the court, if you don't take it as an example, there will be those who dare to encroach on the emperor and destroy the nine clans.

It happened that the cavalry of Great Xia came to plunder Liaodong and Longting again, and the emperor simply sent Niu Mandi to subordinate Hou Jingxian and Huo Yunsheng to Liaodong and Longting respectively, and became a general of a county to resist Great Xia. At this time, the military of Liaodong Province ordered Yang Jingzhong to control by Zhongshu, and it happened that Hou Jing first escorted the silver to Beijing, so it was logical that he became Yang Jingzhong's subordinate again. Huo Yunsheng set off from Jiannan and went all the way north to Longting Road to find Guo Chong, the envoy of the scriptures.

As for the construction of the Jiannan Dao Guozijian mentioned by Tang Jiusheng, the emperor waved his pen and played it on the spot, that is, it was named after the West Prison. Now the Great Shang Kingdom has Yongan North Prison, Tianchang South Prison and Jiannan West Prison, these three national prisons. Qi Siyuan, Qiao Chongliang and others also understood why the prince was holding on to the silver money in those treasury and refused to let go, and he was reluctant to take out more silver even for such a big plan as destroying Laolong Mountain and Dufeng Mountain, that was because there were too many places in Jiannan Dao that needed to spend money, and the palace and the Jingluo made the yamen poor.

It costs money to recruit troops and buy horses, it costs money to set up a new country, it costs money to attack large and small cottages, and it costs money for spring ploughing in Ming Spring...... Qi Siyuan, Qiao Chongliang, and Xu Zichu have already sent personnel to Jiangnan and Central Plains to buy seeds, after all, cultivation is imminent, and it will be needed next spring.

There is a very narrow place at the foot of Laolong Mountain, there is also more than 20 zhang wide Laolong Creek, although it is called a stream, but it is actually a big river. It is difficult to cross without a boat, but fortunately, there have been messengers from Jianbei County to Laolongshan Dazhai before, so He Yongjiang sent 3,000 men and horses to wait by the stream early, and ordered people to prepare dozens of ferries to cross Jin Chengzhang's men and horses across Laolongxi. After passing Laolongxi, I found that there were still 3,000 soldiers and horses waiting here.

Jin Chengzhang understood that He Yongjiang did not trust him, so he was protected by soldiers and horses along the way. At this time, Yulong Xingkong had been captured by Jin Chengzhang, and the five flowers were tied up and escorted in the army, and they went to Laolong Mountain all the way. Yulong Xingkong scolded at first, and finally Jin Chengzhang became angry and ordered him to block people's mouths. This army under the leadership of the cottage envoy, all the way to the main peak of Laolong Mountain, although the road under the mountain is difficult to walk, but the road on the mountain is surprisingly much better, it seems that He Yongjiang is really careful to manage this cottage.

Halfway up the mountain of the old dragon peak, a big village gate built of a bamboo gate, in the middle of the hanging "old dragon mountain blessed land" five words of the golden plaque, obviously a bit nondescript. Unsurprisingly, Jin Chengzhang's main force was left outside the walled gate, and He Yongjiang only allowed Jin Chengzhang to bring fifty personal soldiers to escort Yulong into Dazhai. After entering Dazhai, Lu Yuchang, the county Cheng who introduced Laolongshan to Jin Chengzhang all the way, immediately closed his mouth and no longer dared to say a word.

After entering the walled gate, there are buildings on both sides, mainly bamboo and wood buildings, bamboo houses are lined up one after another, every two zhang on both sides of the road, there is a minion with a knife or a gun standing solemnly on the side of the road, murderous, it seems that this He Dazhai master is clearly going to get off the horse to Jin Chengzhang. Because the Chinese New Year is about to begin, thousands of red lanterns are hung high on both sides of the road and on the buildings, which makes this village very imposing.

The long mountain road has been extending upwards, in front of the Juyi Hall as the main building, there is a flagpole more than three zhang high on a large martial arts arena, and on the flagpole is a red and white flag, embroidered with a golden dragon with teeth and claws. The main building of the Juyi Hall is a three-storey building, brick and stone structure, mainly red and yellow, the eaves and arches, more like a temple, the golden plaque hanging high, the dragon flying phoenix dance three big characters "Juyi Hall", obviously is the handiwork of the master.

This righteous hall is extremely magnificent on the entire Laolong Mountain, which is dominated by bamboo and wood buildings, but it makes people feel a little nondescript, which makes people want to laugh when they look at it. What is a soil bun, it is obvious that He Yongjiang is.

When Jin Chengzhang led fifty personal soldiers to escort the five-flowered Yulong Xingkong to the martial arts arena, five hundred sword and axe killers soared, pouring out from both sides of the Juyi Hall, lined up in two compartments, and then five hundred sturdy spearmen poured out, also divided into two columns, all lined up in front of the gate of the Juyi Hall, looking very majestic and majestic. In front of the Juyi Hall, there is a big tripod with firewood, the fire under the tripod is blazing, but the boiling oil in the tripod is boiling, emitting oil smoke, which is very terrifying. Jin Chengzhang smiled dumbly, how unconfident is this He Yongjiang, so he discharged such a lineup?

A hundred steps away from the Juyi Hall, a sturdy minion stepped forward and said loudly: "The master of Dazhai has an order, anyone who enters the Dazhai Juyi Hall in Laolongshan must untie their weapons!" Immediately dozens of minions rushed forward, and Jin Chengzhang's personal soldiers immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths as if they were facing a great enemy. The two sides immediately confronted each other with tension, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense. Lu Yuchang, the county man who accompanied him, sweated on his head, he didn't understand what the lord of the village meant, and he was afraid that the actions of these minions would anger Jin Chengzhang, so he hurriedly trotted over and tried to explain to Jin Chengzhang.

Before Lu Yuchang could speak, Jin Chengzhang smiled at him, raised his right hand, and shouted: "Untie your weapons! We are here to return to the lord of Dazhai, the lord of Dazhai has an order, how dare you not obey! The lord of Dazhai is a benevolent and righteous person, how can he embarrass us?" Jin Chengzhang took the halberd in the hands of his own soldiers, and took the lead in handing it to the sturdy minion.

After the minions of Lao Longshan took away their weapons, another minions came out, made a gesture of please, and led Jin Chengzhang and others into the Juyi Hall. Jin Chengzhang took the lead and entered with his own soldiers, escorting Yulong into the air. I saw that the hall on the first floor of the Juyi Hall was more than ten zhang deep, and there were more than 100 murderous knife and axe men on both sides. In the deepest part of the hall, in the center of a golden chair, sat a big man with one eye, wearing a black blindfold, a big beard, and a black robe. There are two chairs on each side of the big man, and only the upper chair on the left side sits a middle-aged scholar in a young shirt.

The one-eyed man sitting on the golden chair is naturally He Yongjiang. Jin Chengzhang walked up more than forty steps, and when he was still five zhang away from He Yongjiang, he stood still, restrained his smile, and arched his hand: "Under Jin Chengzhang, meet the lord of He Dazhai in Laolongshan! Jin Chengzhang led 3,000 soldiers to surrender to Cheng this time, hoping that the lord of Dazhai will be included!"

Three zhang away in front of He Yongjiang, there was a standing Tsing Yi minion who shouted and asked, "Bold! Why don't you kneel when you see the lord of Dazhai?" He Yongjiang sat on the golden chair, without saying a word, and looked at Jin Chengzhang with a fierce light in one eye.

Jin Chengzhang said unhurriedly: "Anyway, we are guests from afar, is it true that our Lao Longshan is such a way of hospitality? Besides, I brought a large number of soldiers and horses to submit to the lord of the village, will the lord of the village refuse to give me a seat for the lord of the village? Putting on such a lineup, Chen soldiers set up a tripod, like a thief, how can I Jin Chengzhang be able to worship? How can I be worthy of the three thousand brothers who came with me!"

When Tsing Yi Minions heard Jin Chengzhang say this, he couldn't make up his mind for a while, and looked back at He Yongjiang. He Yongjiang looked at the green-shirted scholar sitting on the chair on the left-hand side, the green-shirted scholar smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Jin Chengzhang, you obviously came to deceive and surrender, do you think we can't see it?"

He Yongjiang's eyes showed a fierce light, his right hand slapped the armrest of the chair, and shouted: "Little guys, take Jin Chengzhang down for me, push it into the oil tripod and blow it up!" The knife and axe men on both sides agreed, and immediately stepped forward, twisted Jin Chengzhang's arms behind his back, and walked towards the outside of the Juyi Hall. Jin Chengzhang's own soldiers were furious, and they were about to make a move, but Lu Yuchang, the master of the five villages who came together, panicked and hurriedly said: "The master of the big village is slow! General Jin really came to surrender to Cheng, why is this so?" He Yongjiang did not answer. Lu Yu often asked again, but He Yongjiang still did not answer.

Jin Chengzhang's face was not afraid, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "What old Longshan Dazhai master, what kind of humble valley is thirsty for talent, fake, all fake! And said that I, Jin someone, is a fraud, what evidence do you have to talk nonsense there? It's a pity that I, Jin Chengzhang, saw the wrong person, and deserved to die here!" Jin Chengzhang strode towards the oil tripod outside the Juyi Hall.

When Jin Chengzhang was halfway through, He Yongjiang said loudly: "Jin Chengzhang, stop! What do you mean by this? Our Sanzhai master has already seen through your treacherous scheme, and you came to surrender to Cheng but didn't even bring your family, is it really Toucheng?"
