"Usually, there are not so many! Isn't this a disaster and famine!" Liang said: "Let's say from north to south, the Jin people, the Xixia people, and a Liao people, which one of them is not all fighting grass valleys every year? As soon as they appeared, there were tens of thousands of soldiers, and they forcibly killed and retreated, and those bastard officers and soldiers went to sweep aside, let alone people, and they couldn't even keep a dog! Can they still live like this? Fools don't run away!

A little further south, there was a widespread drought, and the crops in the fields withered. The Shandong Peninsula is even more miserable, I heard that it is a locust plague, and there is a heavy rain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are always floods. Look at the price of grain when we go to Kaifeng this time? Tut, 900 yuan a stone! I have never heard of it in previous years!"

Mao Shanying sighed: "The world is not good!"

"Who says it's not!" said the shopkeeper Liang: "Our honest businessmen are the most unlucky." There are many homeless people, not only the number of small thieves everywhere is rising and turning, but the famous green forest hero has also gained at least three laps. Otherwise, how can I say that the Ice Shopkeeper is far-sighted? This White Snake Guard Protector has helped us a lot!"

"Report!" a guard strode in and saluted Mao Shanying, "There is a shopkeeper of a liquor store who wants to see the leader of the caravan!"

Mao Shanying turned his head and said, "Shopkeeper Liang?"

"Looking for me?" shopkeeper Liang said inexplicably, "Is there a wine shop here?"

"Maybe you want to buy something!

Shopkeeper Liang also nodded, and Mao Shanying ordered: "Bring that person in, well, pay attention to vigilance!"

"Yes!"

The guard strode out, returning with a rich middle-aged man.

This person has three wisps of beard, wears a brocade robe, wears a crown on his head, kicks on his feet, has a large waist and a round waist, and is amiable, and always has a smile on his face, which makes it easy for people to feel good.

When this man came in, he clenched his fists and confessed, "Disturb it, disturb it!" The villain opened a wine shop near here to provide some food for the merchants who came and went. When I saw your caravan passing by, I wanted to come over and ask if I could do business in my small shop. ”

The shopkeeper Liang is a businessman, and he pays attention to a group of harmony, although he doesn't treat this uninvited guest very well in his heart, he has a smile on his face, and he hugs his fists and says: "The little surname is Liang, and he is the head of the caravan." I don't know what the shopkeeper is called?"

"Don't dare, don't dare! The villain's surname is Zhu Minggui!

Shopkeeper Liang returned the salute and said: "I'm disappointed by Shopkeeper Zhu, I have food in this caravan, don't bother, please go back!"

"You misunderstood, I don't want to sell you, but I want to buy some food from you!" Zhu Gui hurriedly begged: "Shopkeeper Liang, these years have not been peaceful, there are few caravans, and my small shop is short of food and oil, so I can't open the pot." You should be merciful, no matter what it is, even me a little, and I will give more money to ensure that the shopkeeper Liang will not suffer. ”

said that he took out two gold barley from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the shopkeeper Liang.

Shopkeeper Liang was a little embarrassed this time, he wanted to earn money, after all, he was still in debt. But things really can't be sold, looking back at Mao Shanying, he hesitated.

Zhu Gui is a human spirit, and he directly saluted Mao Shanying, and said: "This big brother, even if the goods are not good, you can make me better if you have rich rations." I really can't boil the pot there, the guys have been hungry for more than a day!"

Mao Shanying couldn't express his position, and the shopkeeper Liang was really embarrassed by Zhu Gui's attitude, and sighed: "We have the grain, but this is specially transported from Kaifeng, and I really can't buy it for you." In this way, we still have a few stones of loose grain in the back kitchen, you can take it for two days first. ”

"Eh, great help!" Zhu Gui bowed directly.

Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly helped him up, and sent someone to the back to get a handful of grain.

After taking out some broken silver to find the gold barley, the shopkeeper Liang sighed with emotion: "It is not easy for us businessmen, we have nine hundred yuan when we buy grain from Kaifeng, and the rivers and lakes are in emergency, you will pay for a journey, and count you as a thousand dollars and a stone." There's about two stones here, and that's the change for you. ”

Zhu Gui took the pick and silver, folded his hands and said: "Shopkeeper Liang is a particular person, a small Minggan five!" After speaking, he took two steps back, picked up the pick, turned his head and went out-

Zhu Gui walked out of the camp, walked more than 100 steps, and then turned down the path, and immediately four or five men dressed as men jumped out.

"Boss!"

Zhu Gui handed them the burden on his shoulders and said, "What did you find?"

A few guys said in turn:

"The camp is heavily guarded, the big carts are connected end to end, the covers are tight, and there are white-armored guards patrolling beside them, and the small ones are not allowed to approach, and they don't know what is on the carts. ”

"Talking to five or six people, the tone is very tight, the white-armored guards don't understand people, they ask everything coldly, and they can't find out where the convoy is. I only knew from the guy's mouth that it was going in the direction of Yanggu County. ”

"The number of carts is thirty, the guys plus the coachman are nearly a hundred, and the white-armored guards are about two hundred, from the point of view of spirit, they are all elite!"

Zhu Gui thought about it in his heart and said, "Very good, it seems that my conjecture is not far from ten." The convoy was probably carrying grain. Send someone to shoot an arrow and inform you that there is a big deal in the mountains!"

"Yes!" A guy turned around to leave, but Zhu Gui suddenly stopped him.

The guy turned around.

Zhu Gui instructed: "Ask the family to bring more people, this team is different, most of them are hard stubble!"

"Yes!"

Liangshan Juyi Hall.

Li Kui jumped in with two axes and shouted: "I heard that there is a sale? His grandmother's, Brother Song Jiang, is going to let me go into battle this time! I am idle on the mountain, and I have fire sores on my cheeks!"

In the hall, Song Jiang and the others turned their heads in amazement.

Thunderbolt Qin Ming laughed and said, "Didn't this black guy say that he was drunk?

Li Kui shouted: "What do you know, I have a smart nose, just by hearing it, I know that there is a battle tonight!"

Song Jiang shouted: "What are you yelling about, you have to shout all the brothers? Come in quickly, don't bring your ears and mouth!"

Li Kui grinned twice and ran in.

Everyone laughed, and Song Jiang shook his head and said, "This black guy is also a coincidence, just in time." So Brother Huarong, how about this rammer for your team of archers?"

Hua Rong smiled: "That's great, Brother Li Kui is brave in battle, and it is more lethal to cooperate with my archers!"

Song Jiang nodded and said, "Brother Zhu Gui sent a letter saying that there are two hundred elite guards, asking me to bring more troops down the mountain." Then order two thousand minions, plus five hundred people from Li Kui and Hua Rong's brothers, for a total of three thousand people!"
