Yang Zhi followed Suo Chao's fast horse to Suo Chao's mansion. When the two boys heard the sound of horse hooves, they knew that his master was coming back. Because no one in this street had the skills to gallop like flying, they hurried When we came out from the gate, we met Suo Chao, who reined in his horse and stopped at the door. Before the boy could come forward, he heard the sound of a series of rapid horse hooves, and in the blink of an eye, there was another sound like a gust of wind. A man came flying over and stopped in front of Suo Chao's door.
"Yang Tiha, you are really good at riding, hahaha, let's go." After saying that, he turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the boy to take care of, and took Yang Zhi straight to the front hall as if meeting an old friend. Only now did Yang Zhi realize that Suo Chao's galloping across the street was not only to "force" him to come, but also had a plan to test his skills. Looking at Suo Chao's face, he realized that his trip Kuangbiao still caught Suo Chao's eye.
At that moment, Suo Chao invited Yang Zhi to have tea in the front hall. While arranging people to prepare a banquet, they started chatting in the front hall.
Because Suo Chao was optimistic about Yang Zhi's ability, he felt sympathy for each other. Therefore, when he returned to the house this time, he gradually talked more and more, talking about Yang Zhi's place of origin and his origin. Especially, when Yang Zhi When Zhi mentioned that he was the grandson of Yang Linggong, the fifth prince, after three generations of generals, Suo Chao was even more respectful and sighed: "Sure enough, there is a legacy of generals, but with such a good background, why not strive for fame in the army? Reduced to the point of serving as an assassin and serving in the army,"
Yang Zhi let out a long sigh and said: "Suotiha doesn't know something. The Sa family took military examinations when they were young, and also served as palace envoys. However, Daojun was short of the average ten qualifications due to the construction of Long Live Mountain. The envoys went to the Taihu Lake to carry the Hua Shi Gang to Beijing for payment. Unexpectedly, the family's fortune was bad. When it was our turn to carry the Hua Shi Gang to the Yellow River, we encountered a strong wind and capsized the ship. The Hua Shi Gang also sank. Because of this, I can't go back to Beijing and take refuge elsewhere..." At this point, Yang Zhi suddenly stopped, as if he had said something sensitive, and hurriedly stopped before the last word was uttered. Got it.
Suo Chao sounded a little strange, and thought that it was the former official who fell into the enemy's trap when he was desperate... When Suo Chao thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. However, when he thought about it at this moment, he couldn't help but feel his back rise. There is a hint of chill, this person who has fallen into the grass has a gangster spirit in him. Now the rivers and lakes are full of bandits and robbers from all sects and sects. They are making plans for birthdays. But this time, a man who has fallen into the grass has a gangster spirit. If a person with a proven criminal record takes on this burden, wouldn't it be like handing over the birthday plan to the hands of the bandits, fearing that something bad will happen? Suo Chao thought of this for a moment, and felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Yang more. Have two eyes.
At that moment, Yang Zhi picked up the topic and continued: "One day, the world happened to pardon us criminals, so the Sa family packed up a load of money and belongings, returned to Tokyo to use it at the Privy Council, and then took care of their own affairs. But I didn’t want to meet that guy Gao Qiu, but Gao Qiu couldn’t tolerate me and couldn’t stay in Tokyo. However, I had no money, so I had no choice but to sell a sword handed down from my ancestors on the street. However, I didn’t want to be a rogue. Niu Er, who had broken down in the house, took Sajia's knife by force. When he didn't agree with the three sentences, he punched Sajia again, which made Sajia angry. He killed the man and finally stabbed him here."
When Suo Chao heard this, he realized something, and the doubts on his brows disappeared. He thought to himself that this man was happy with revenge, and he could be considered a good man.
When Yang Zhi said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Suo Chao heard it deeply. This sigh contained a lot of helplessness and frustration. It is not something that people can pretend casually. It can be seen that this man also has a lot of good skills. , has always been unable to serve the country, but now he has finally achieved success. Thinking of this, Suo Chao's doubts have been reduced by three points. However, Suo Chao does not know that although Yang Zhi's sigh does contain a heavy sense of helplessness and regret. The despair of the world, but the deeper meaning here is not just that there is no way to serve the country.
Because Yang Zhi lost his granite, he fled all the way to Qingzhou. There is a mountain there called Erlong Mountain. There is only one road to get to that mountain, and the other sides are covered with cliffs. It is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack. Erlong Mountain was originally occupied by the Spirit Snake Sect. Later, the Spirit Snake Sect encountered internal and external troubles. It happened that the leader of the sect led all his troops to attack the city and rescue the rudder. Therefore, a man named "Golden Eyed Tiger" Deng Long led four or five people. Hundreds of people took advantage of this opportunity to sneak in and seize the mountain. Later, the leader of the Spirit Snake Sect died in the siege battle, and Erlong Mountain was never recaptured by the Spirit Snake Sect.
In this way, Deng Long took over the mountain and became the king without any scruples, until he finally met Yang Zhi.
That day, Yang Zhi came to a forest at the foot of Erlong Mountain, and was deeply surprised. He saw a fat monk lying on the road. He was naked, with flowers tattooed on his back, and he was lying on the root of a pine tree. With his head resting in the cool air, the monk heard the sound of footsteps in the forest. He turned around and saw Yang Zhi. He held his Zen staff at his side, jumped up and shouted, "That bird, where did you come from?"
At that time, Yang Zhi heard this accent and thought, "It turns out that this is also a monk from Guanxi. The Sa family and he are from the same hometown, so I have to ask him." So, Yang Zhi shouted: "Where are you a monk from? ,"
Yang Zhi didn't mean any harm, but he didn't want the monk to listen too well. Without saying a word, he just took up the Zen battle in his hands and just fought.
When Yang Zhi saw that the guy was so ignorant, he immediately became angry and shouted: "The bald donkey is rude, let's take it out on you first." After that, he raised his sword in his hand to face the man who was running towards him. The two monks started to fight, and the two of them went back and forth in the forest, fighting each other up and down. They fought until they were forty or fifty, and they still couldn't decide the winner or the loser.
After fighting for nearly a hundred rounds, the monk used a flaw and made a feint, then jumped out of the circle and yelled "stop" with a voice like thunder. When Yang Zhi heard this, he stopped his hand.
Although the outcome was still undecided, Yang Zhi at that time had already secretly cheered: "Where did this monk come from? He is so talented. The Sa family can barely beat him."
At this time, I heard the monk shout: "That green-faced man, who are you?"
Yang Zhi responded: "The Sa family is the grandson of Yang Linggong, the fifth prince, after three generations of generals. It is Yang Zhi who made the envoy of Tokyo."
When the monk heard this, he immediately showed surprise on his face and said, "I have been famous for a long time, but I don't want to meet my brother here."
Yang Zhi heard that the monk knew him, but when he took a closer look, he really looked strange at the monk, so he couldn't help but asked a little sarcastically: "I dare not ask, but who is the senior brother? How do you know the name of the Sa family?"
The monk patted his hairy chest and said: "The restaurant is none other than Lu Tisha, an old man from Yan'an Prefecture and a former military officer in the official account. Because he was beaten to death in Zhen Guanxi with three punches, he went to Wutai Mountain to become a monk. "When people see the flower embroidery on the back of the restaurant, they call me the flower monk Lu Zhishen."
Yang Zhi smiled and said: "It turns out that he is a brother from his hometown. I heard his name a lot in the world and heard that he was posted at the Daxiangguo Temple. Why are you here now?"
Lu Zhishen sighed and said: "If you don't say it, that's all. As soon as you talk about it, the Sa family is filled with the anger of the mother. Just when it's hard to explain, the restaurant was originally in charge of the vegetable garden in Daxiangguo Temple, but when they met that leopard Tou Lin Chong was framed by Lieutenant Gao for his life. Seeing an injustice on the road, I sent him straight to Cangzhou and saved his life. I didn't want the two guards to come back and said to Gao Qiu, "I was about to die in the wild boar forest." Lin Chong was rescued by Lu Zhishen of the Daxiangguo Temple. The monk was sent directly to Cangzhou, so he couldn't do it. So, Gao Qiu, a straight mother-in-law, hated to kill the restaurant, and paid the elders of the temple not to let me continue to hang out. I ordered someone to arrest the restaurant owner, but a group of rogues happened to report it to the Sa family. I didn't fall into that guy's way, so I burned the vegetable garden, and then walked around the rivers and lakes out of anger. I couldn't get anywhere in the east or the west. I wandered around many places but couldn't find a place to stay. Later I arrived at the cross slope of Mengzhou and was almost killed by a hotel woman. It happened that his husband came back early and saw the appearance of the restaurant and my Zen staff and sword. He was surprised and quickly got the antidote to save me from waking up. Later, he asked me the name of the restaurant and it was very popular, so he stayed with me. A few days later, they became sworn brothers at the restaurant. The man and his wife were also famous heroes in the world. People in the world called him the vegetable gardener Zhang Qing, and his wife was the mother yaksha Sun Erniang. The couple were both very loyal, and the Sa family was there. After staying for four or five days in a row, I found out that Erlong Mountain was a place where I could stay. The restaurant came here specially to invite Deng Long to join him. The guy was afraid that the Sa family was a spy of the Spiritual Snake Cult. There was a fuss, so he started fighting with the guy. Who would have thought that the guy was no match for the restaurant. He was only tied tightly to the three gates at the bottom of the mountain, and there was no other way up. You can scold those birds, but they won't come down. The fight is so angry that the restaurant is suffering. There is no resolution here, but unexpectedly, the eldest brother is here."
Yang Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "That guy has no ability, but he still comes to occupy the mountain and become the king. How can we help him? He was bumped into by our two brothers. He deserves to be unlucky. Don't worry first, but we will find him first." I filled my stomach in a restaurant, but I came back to talk to them again,"
Lu Zhishen listened and touched his stomach that was already growling. He smiled honestly and nodded in agreement. He picked up his Zen staff and left the foot of Erlong Mountain with Yang Zhili. They picked up an official road and walked along. After walking a few miles, they saw a wine shop not far from the roadside. At this time, it also happened to be the sunset, so the two of them went there happily.
The two of them entered the hotel, sat down on the mulberry wood table and bench, and leaned their weapons beside them.
I saw a woman standing by the stove and asked, "Sir, would you like to light the fire?"
Yang Zhidao said: "First take two cents of wine to eat, borrow some rice to cook, and arrange some if you have meat. I will pay you back if you stop for a while." The woman first asked a young man to come and sift the wine in front of her, and then she I went to the kitchen to cook and fry meat, and made my own arrangements.
