Zhang Tao, who was tied up, saw Jin Biao's knife fall and shouted loudly: "Don't." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" When Jin Biao's knife fell, it fell right in front of Chaoping's eyes, and Chaoping looked at Jin Biao without even blinking his eyes. At this time, Jin Biao, who was angry, turned around and laughed, "Good boy, you have guts, this king sees that you have some courage, so I will spare you today and go down the mountain with your entourage." Chao Ping replied calmly: "Please return our belongings to us too, we have a long way to go to the border pass, and without those belongings, we will definitely delay the journey." "Isn't it good that Chaoping doesn't know that he can live with his life, in fact, he is so smart and of course he knows what's going on, but he can't get used to Jin Biao's banditry behavior, and besides, he is also very anxious to go to the border, so he said so. Jin Biao was really angry, and said to his subordinates: "Someone will drag this kid out and beat him to death." Zhang Tao shouted: "You can't do this, do you know who my son-in-law is, he is the grandson of the old general Li Luoyun, if you dare to hurt our son-in-law in the slightest, I guarantee that your broken cottage will be razed to the ground, and you all have to die." Jin Biao said hurriedly to the minions: "Slow down, bring this kid back." ā
Jin Biao looked at Chao Ping, and Chao Ping said angrily to Jin Biao: "You gang of robbers, after the border pass is recovered, I will definitely destroy you gang of robbers who rob people's money and property and harm people's lives, you had better kill me now." ā
Jin Biao heard this, not only did he not get angry, but fell to his knees with a puff and said: "Young marshal, the last general is not a thief who robs the house and robs the house, in the early years, the last general followed the old general to fight in the south and the north, but the old general may not know the last general, I was in a humble position back then, and later led the troops to be scattered by the enemy army and was taken under the command of the Taishou of other states and counties, and then because of the violation of military law, I had to fall here." Li Chaoping said: "Oh, it turns out that you are Li Jiajun, so why didn't you return to your original unit later." Jin Biao said: "Alas, at that time, the army lost the battle, and there was no face to go back to the Li family barracks, it just so happened that the Taishou wanted to keep us, and he reported these things to the above, and we did not go back after the imperial court approved it." "Maybe it's because they are Li Jiajun, after saying these things, Chaoping's impression of them is not so bad, and he has a little feeling. Chaoping said: "Oh, so that's the case, then you plan to be a robber who robs homes and houses like this in the future." Jin Biao said: "We have no choice, although we want to go back to serve the imperial court, but after all, we have committed a capital crime, but we have not done anything to hurt heaven and reason." ā
After speaking, Jin Biao hurriedly drank: "Don't hurry up and untie the young marshal." The minions loosened the tie for everyone, and then Chaoping said to Jin Biao: "This is Zhang Tao, the general of my Shuaifu, and the rest are all soldiers of Shuaifu." Jin Biao greeted everyone, and it can be regarded as turning enemies into friends. Everyone had dinner together, and during the banquet, Jin Biao introduced the other four masters to Chaoping. Jin Biao also said to Chaoping that there are actually seventy-one large and small cottages within a radius of more than 100 miles, and after a long time of fighting, in the end they won the boss's seat, and finally the rest of the cottages also submitted to this Jin Biao, but they still operate their own cottages, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, only when the strong enemy comes to attack, Jin Biao will lead everyone to get together, large and small, there are thirty or forty thousand people, covering the surrounding three states and counties. Chaoping was amazed and said, "You have so many people. Jin Biao said: "Back to the young marshal, that's the case, I ordered someone to gather their leaders, and tomorrow I will gather everyone to meet the young marshal together." "These can make Chao Ping stunned, thinking if there is something wrong with this Jin Biao, he is under his own Li Jiajun, but the rest of the people are not, why did they come to see me, and he shows how appealing he is, right? Chao Ping thought about it and immediately said: "Brother Jin, this is not appropriate, we are in a hurry to dare to go to the border pass, not to mention that I don't know those kings, this is really not good." Jin Biao said that he would not let Chaoping go, and in the end Chaoping had to agree to him, the next day he saw these kings, and on the third day he left, Jin Biao also promised him.
The next day, everyone came to see the young marshal in Jin Biao's mouth, that is, Chaoping. Everyone had a feast with laughter, and everyone had a very good impression of Chaoping, because these people are rough people, and they like it a little when they see Chaoping reading poetry and books, and Chaoping sees that these people are also heroes, so they are naturally not as disgusted as before. After the banquet, everyone said goodbye to Jin Biao and Chaoping and returned to their respective cottages. Jin Biao and Zhang Tao accompanied Chaoping back to the backyard to rest, and happened to meet Jin Biao's wife holding her little daughter who was not yet one year old, Jin Biao hurriedly said with a hippie smile: "Young marshal, this is my wife and my daughter under the age of one, I haven't named my daughter yet, can the young marshal give a name to the little girl." Chaoping said: "Yes, you can, but if you don't think it sounds good, just take it as a joke." Jin Biao said happily: "The young marshal can be called whatever he wants." Chaoping said: "You are a beautiful tiger, your daughter is called Ling'er, which symbolizes the spirit of beauty." Jin Biao happily applauded: "Just call Ling'er, Jin Ling'er, good, good." Then Chaoping went back to his room to rest.
On the morning of the third day, Jin Biao reluctantly sent Chaoping Zhang Tao and his party down the mountain at the gate of the cottage, Jin Biao said: "Take care of the young marshal, as long as the young marshal will be useful in the place in the future, the report will be a death, if the young marshal comes back from the border pass, he must return to the cottage to live for a few days." Chaoping said: "Brother Jin, go back, don't do anything harmful to nature and reason in the future, and when the border is peaceful, I will definitely be a guest here." Zhang Tao also said hello to Jin Biao, and then the group of them went on the road.
After going down the mountain, he didn't go far, and Chaoping heard a cry, which was very desolate. Chaoping wondered if it would be a cottage that harmed people's lives, and hurriedly called Zhang Tao to investigate, Chaoping also got out of the carriage and walked over accompanied by his entourage, and when he got closer, it turned out to be two old people, the old woman and the old man dragged the plank behind them, and there was a person covered with a white cloth on it, obviously there was a funeral in this family. Zhang Tao stood aside, and said to the old man in front of the peace, the two old men mourned, and then took out a few taels of silver and gave it to the two old men, because he saw that the two old men were dressed very shabby and had this incident, and he thought about helping them a little bit. Later, he asked Zhang Tao and them to help bury the girl's body and erect a tombstone made of wooden planks. Then the old man told Chaoping about the cause and effect. It turned out that this person was their granddaughter, in front of Yingchang Mansion, the governor of this mansion was a villain who did all kinds of evil, two generations of their family were local officials here, the father and son did all kinds of evil, robbed the granddaughter of the old woman's family and killed them, the two old people had nowhere to redress their grievances, there was no way, they were old and had no money at home, and they had no strength, so it took a lot of effort to carry their granddaughter to the suburbs, thinking that they were sad and crying on the side of the road. Chao Ping was angry, and Zhang Tao was also very angry. After comforting the two old men, they went to the Yingchang Mansion that the old man in front of them said. First, this Yingchang Mansion is the only way for Chaoping and them, and secondly, Chaoping also wants to avenge the grievances of these two old people.
