Chapter 97: Really Good News
The three leaders of Mulan Mountain were skilled in martial arts, so naturally they did not want to bear the reputation of bandits. They agreed with Chao Gai's proposal and decided to abandon the mountain village and go to Yuncheng to gather!
In the next few days, Du Ji was busy with the affairs of the village. He summoned seven or eight hundred minions on the mountain, and followed him if he was willing to do so, but he was unwilling to send money to dismiss him. He loaded valuable items, grains, and counted livestock...
Chao Gai knew that there were many powerful generals in Jinghu and Huaixi. He originally planned to use the three Mulan heroes as a breakthrough point to ask other famous heroes and heroes to visit. If they could get involved, they would get involved. If they could not win over, they would make friends.
The dozen or so good horses I brought are proof of this!
But he took it for granted, or the information transmission in ancient times was relatively backward. Although the three Mulan heroes occupied the mountain for one or two years, they had heard of many heroes, but they didn't know where they were.
Otherwise, they would have sent people down the mountain or visited and invited them in person. Just as they knew Yuan Lang's power was so powerful that they sent people to invite them several times.
The four tiger generals of Jishan, Liu Yuan, Pan Zhong...
Chao Gai thought about it, but he didn't expect where these people lived. Mr. Jin Jian Li Zhu knew, but this girl could not find fortune tellers everywhere. It would be better not to look for other brothers like Gong and Duan Er and Duan Wu.
The plan was shelved, so he could only stay in Mulan Mountain honestly, show his face and brag in front of the minions, and help with matters.
Fortunately, Feng Tai, the two rude men of Feng Cai were not bored to find him to discuss. They stayed in the mountain for three days, and the preparation work was about to end.
On that day, Chao Gai discussed the itinerary with Du Jie and Yuan Lang in the Juyi Hall. The loud loud voice of the slutty outside the hall suddenly rang out and went from far to near: "Brother, I heard the magpies calling early in the morning. See who is back?"
"Hey, this brother is good everywhere, just like it." Yuan Lang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"This is the true nature. Let's go and see!" Chao Gai smiled and stood up, holding Du Jie with one hand and Yuan Lang with the other, and walked out of the hall with his wrist.
Sure enough, I saw a big man leading a big man to come. This big man was no other person, but Ma Fang, who was looking for relatives after he arrived at Jinghu Road. The Ma family was once quite famous in Sichuan and Shaanxi, but later it fell and scattered.
In order to avoid disaster, the Ma family came to Jinghu area!
Feng Tai and Wei He heard strangers coming up the mountain, and rushed over. Chao Gai recommended both sides, and the heroes gathered together and greeted him!
After I came to Juyi Hall to sit down, my own minions served tea!
"Brother Ma Fang, have you ever found a relative?" Chao Gai asked expectantly.
"Well, my brother is worried about me and I found my uncle in Jingnan City." Ma Fang was very happy to mention this. He had met his father on Jinghu North Road when he was young, and his parents' memories of their death were blurred and they had never come again.
Now that he has seen his relatives alive, he is in a good mood, so he tells the story of what he asked along the way after he separated. At the end, he slapped his head and said, "Brother, good news! I have two cousins, who are twin brothers. Brother Ma Xie and younger brother Ma Jin, have a loyal personality and a strong martial arts skills."
"Hmm? Is there such a thing?" Chao Gai suddenly stood up, his voice distorted. He felt like he was hit by a pie. Unexpectedly, Ma Fang, who was rescued on the Cross Slope of the Big Tree, was a relative of the Ma brothers among the Five Tigers of Ji Shan.
And the relationship is quite close!
Ma Xie and Ma Jin did not have the chance to fight with the generals of Liangshan in their original trajectory. They were not as dazzling as Yuan Lang, Feng and Teng brothers, but they were as famous as their martial arts.
Especially his brother Ma Zhan, who joined forces with Ji Tong to fight against Tang Bin, the Luo Diaogong, and killed him. But the same thing is true, such a powerful general was buried by history.
Talent! Great thug!
When Chao Gai heard that the two people were fond of talent, he was a little anxious: "Brother, it's the time to use people. Are you willing to join the gang?"
"Brother, these two surnames Ma are very powerful?" Everyone was a little curious when they saw Chao Gai's appearance. They curled their mouths and looked a little dissatisfied.
"Haha, when I was a private businessman, I heard that there were many heroes in Jinghu and Huaixi. The three Mulan heroes are the most famous, and the Ma brothers are not bad either." Chao Gai said lying and his face was not blushing, and he praised it with an old routine.
"Brother Ma Xie, the white-haired tiger, and the younger brother Ma Jin Scar tiger, all have the courage to be unstoppable. But I didn't expect that my brother was actually the same cousin."
Feng Tai heard Chao Gai praise, and knew that no matter how weak the Ma brothers were, they would not be much weaker. He asked anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Try to join the gang, brothers Ma Fang, are they willing to join the brother?"
"It's not difficult to invite join!" Ma Fang nodded, then sighed again: "Hey! But my uncle is old, he is full of old problems and cannot leave his hometown. My two brothers are filial recently, probably a little..."
"That's right? Let's go and visit me in person! Look at the old man and look for the civilian doctor." After thinking for a while, Chao Gai stood up again to go in person.
Seeing him acting decisively, Du Jie hurriedly pointed at Ma Fang, who was wearing a tired face and smiled bitterly: "Brother, Brother Ma Fang, you are tired from running around for a few days, so why not go again tomorrow."
"It's me Meng Lang, so let me tell you my brother and make sure the return route." Seeing this, Chao Gai was indeed impatient, so he smiled and summoned everyone to discuss.
Everyone discussed something, and after half an hour, there was a plan. The four or five hundred minions who were willing to follow were divided into three caravans. From the northwest, along the junction of Huaixi and Jingdong Road, it was diagonally inserted into the Shandong boundary.
Considering that there are old and young members of the escort, you must make sufficient preparations in advance. The grain in the copycat is short of medicinal materials, so you can go to Jingnan City to purchase it.
Finally, there was the issue of the entourage. The bus was about to go, and Feng Tai also yelled to go. But his identity was not decided until the banquet was ready.
As the host, Du Jie invited everyone to the banquet.
Needless to say, fat chickens, fat ducks, roast geese, fried fish..., good wine and meat. Everyone kept talking and laughing, and eating a meal.
Time flies, early the next morning!
Chao Gai was thinking about his powerful general and brought more than 30 people to Mulan Mountain. Except for Yuan Lang, Shin, Ma Fang and a few personal guards, the rest were all men sent by Du Ji, who acted as accompanying guards and escorted materials back.
Everyone rode their horses and quickly got off Mount Mulan.
After walking for a while, Chao Gai, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned around and shouted: "Sai Qin Qiong Fengtai, come out for me, why are you still hiding?"
"Hehehe, brother, have you found me?" One rider in the team accelerated suddenly. A man wearing cloth and wrapped in a headscarf laughed. His cheeks were dark and ferocious, and he deliberately bent his back. Who else could it be if it were Feng Tai?
"Damn it! If you behave like this, who can you hide from such a strange person?" Chao Gai was speechless. He found a minion bent down and sticking out his butt in the mountain village. He still couldn't find out how blind he was?
"That's right, look at that guy, he looks black." Yu Shi looked contemptuous.
"Hide and don't let go!"
"If you don't obey, tie you up."
Chao Gai did not give these two reckless men a chance to quarrel, and he gave Feng Tai a serious expression. He said this with confidence because of his high force and ability to fight. Feng Tai nodded like a chicken pecking at rice when he remembered more than ten times of defeat in the challenge.
After this small episode, the Ma side led the way in front, and everyone followed closely behind. Just after more than ten miles away from Mulan Mountain, they saw many refugees.
There were about two or three hundred people, some carrying loads, some pushing wheelbarrows, carrying the elderly and the children, and carrying their families with their families, and fleeing from the East. There were men and women, most of them were old, weak, women and children. They were dressed in tatters and looked haggard. Some were pale and thin, children cried, and the scene was sad.
Chao Gai couldn't bear it when he saw these confused people, so he turned over and got off the horse, called the old man who was pushing two kids in a wheelbarrow, took out a few pieces of bread and handed it to the child, and asked, "Brother-in-law, where are you calling?"
The old man was a little panicked at first, but seeing Chao Gai was very kind, he relaxed his guard and sighed: "Hey, this official, the old man fled from Jiangnan."
Jiangnan? Chao Gai thought of Fang La at the first time, and then Hua Shigang, who harmed countless people, had a gloomy face and asked tentatively.
"But because of that Taihu Stone?"
"Oh, that's not it! The rich and wealthy families pay the money, and we wait for the poor families to pay for the family. How many people have sent me will never come back? I guess I'll die outside!"
The old man nodded with a sad expression, and the man passing by with a load stopped to respond. A group of people here did not leave, and more and more people stopped to rest.
"Brother-in-law, are you here to join your relatives?"
"Oh, official, I have relatives who have already defected!"
"I really couldn't survive in Jiangnan, so I left my hometown."
"That's right, the three children in the family never come back and can only escape to other places."
...
When talking about sad things, these people at the bottom burst into emotions and sighed. Some elderly people with grandchildren even swallowed even more while wiping their tears.
"Zhi Niang, what kind of world is this?"
Seeing that the people were miserable, Yu Shi couldn't help but feel angry and cursed. Yuan Lang, Feng Tai, Ma Fang and other minions also cursed.
Chao Gai felt that he could not watch like this. After thinking about it, he stepped forward and shouted: "My fellow villagers, be quiet first, and listen to what Chao said."
Chao Gai's voice was low and magnetic, and soon calmed the noisy crowd. The gathered people subconsciously cast their eyes.
"I heard that there is a king of Heaven in Shandong, Chao Gai, who is generous and righteous. He has opened a porridge shed to help the poor and help the poor people and help them survive. You have no choice but to go north to Jeju, Shandong. Just ask for information and you can find out that King Chao Gai of Heaven. You can go and seek help from him. There is definitely food, clothing, and no one dares to bully you."
"Official, is this true?" He was full of surprise at the father-in-law in front of him.
"It's true. If there is a half-word statement, you will be struck by lightning that day. Go, if you encounter someone who fled, you will take them to King Chao!"
Chao Gai made a poisonous oath to the sky in front of everyone, picked out more than a dozen young and strong men from the crowd, explained the way they were going to go, and reported the title of Heavenly King if they had any problems. Then he made up his mind and led the team to turn over and speed up.
He was afraid that he would not leave, and the money he carried with him would shine. If he wanted to completely help those poor people, he could only develop his power quickly.
The thief is not accused of falling into trouble, but a weak person!
