Three hundred and ninetieth chapters: Wind and fire broke Qingzhou army
When the Erlongshan gangsters stabbed to death the last dozens of officers and soldiers, the night battle came to an end.
Shi Jin looked at the corpses on the ground, threw the spear and sword full of blood into the fire from a distance, raised a hook in his mouth, and said to Wu Song with a smile: "These pair of swords are really good."
Wu Song could hear Shi Jin's tactful compliment, and looked at each other with a slight smile: "It's refreshing to stand side by side with Brother Shi."
"I also feel so happy and tight," Zhang Qing also strode forward at this time, unable to hide the excitement on his face.
"Look," Shi Jin pointed at the corpses all over the field and joked: "This place is full of high-quality yellow beef. It was burned by fire in a short time. It cannot be used to make steamed buns. It is really a pity."
Zhang Qing knew that he was joking, so he immediately answered with a smile: "Brothers, please help me disembowel myself this night, but these bird officers and soldiers are all bad, the meat has been sour for a long time, and the taste is wrong. It’s not a pity to lose it. It’s just that the brothers have worked hard all night and it’s all come to light.”
"Come on, everything is good in the village. I'm afraid there won't be any good wine. Let's talk in the village." Lu Zhishen put away his Zen staff and stepped up. He invited two warriors, Shi Jin and Wu Song, to withdraw their troops and return to the mountain. Yang Zhi nodded. Well, arrange for everyone to collect the armors and weapons that caught the eye on the battlefield and pile them up on the other side of the mountain away from the fire source. After returning to the village, they sent people to arrange carriages and horses to transport the bundles of military equipment back to the mountain. At the same time, they sent people to count the wounded and dead. , healing and comforting are not a problem.
Lu Zhishen invited Shi Jin, Wu Song and Zhang Qing to the Juyi Hall. He immediately arranged for people to kill pigs and cows and bring out large vats of fine wine.
After several concessions, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi took the upper seats, and Wu Song, Shi Jin and Zhang Qing took the lower seats in turn.
Zhang Qing introduced them to Shi Jin and Wu Song respectively and said: "These two are Lu Zhishen, the flower monk, and Yang Zhi, the green-faced beast, the two heads of Erlong Mountain."
After Zhang Qing finished speaking, Lu Zhishen clasped his fists in salute and said with a smile: "Thanks to the help of two heroes tonight, otherwise, the disaster of Erlong Mountain is imminent, and the two of us would still be kept in the dark. Dare to ask the names of our two benefactors."
Wu Song said: "It's just a casual job. I am none other than Wu Song, who was drunkenly fighting a tiger on Jingyang Hill."
"It turns out it's Wudutou. Since we're famous, it's better to meet each other. It's too late to meet us, but we don't know why Wudutou is here," Yang Zhi asked.
Wu Song immediately began to talk about his sister-in-law's murder of his brother, and briefly talked about the assassination of his wife. Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi sighed when they heard it.
After Wu Song had spoken about himself, Lu Zhishen turned the conversation to Shi Jin. Lu Zhishen's brass-like eyes looked up and down at Shi Jin and asked: "I wonder who this brother is, what kind of friend is he?" Who is it? I just took a brief look at it, and the fists and feet looked very familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen them before.”
Shi Jindao: "My master was Wang Jin, the instructor of the 100,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo."
"Oh,,," Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi both exclaimed and said, "It turns out that he is the disciple of Instructor Wang. He is very strange and incompetent." After saying that, they stood up and bowed.
Shi Jin bowed to each other, and the three of them returned to the banquet and sat down.
"When we were officials, we all received more or less care from Coach Wang. Now that we are here, we feel as if we are at home." Yang Zhi asked with great respect, "May I ask my brother's name?" ,"
"The villain's surname is Shi, and his single name has the character Jin," Shi Jin responded.
"Brother, are you not Shi Dalang, the nine-patterned dragon from Shijiacun?" Lu Zhishen asked with an unexpected surprise.
Shi Jindao: "It's just a villain,"
"Ah," Yang Zhi said with some disbelief: "People in the world have heard it, it's really thunderous, but... isn't my brother in Huayin County?
Why are you here?"
"Everything is just a matter of the government forcing the people to rebel, and that's why we went down this road. However, as the situation gets bigger, there will be more troubles. Firstly, there is a shortage of men and horses, and secondly, there is a shortage of money." When Shi Jin said this, he paused and said: "That's why I came out this time,"
"Brother, how can you spare your hands for such a big deal? I heard in Daming Mansion that the imperial court is now gathering hundreds of thousands of troops to retake Huayin," Yang Zhi said, feeling anxious for Shi Jin.
Shi Jin also frowned slightly and said: "I have been out for half a month, and I have left everything there to my brothers to take care of. I also plan to finish the matter tonight and go back."
"Brother Lao was thinking about it and came to the rescue this time."
Shi Jin said: "Brothers, there is no need to thank you. My younger brother went up the mountain this time, but he has something else to do."
After hearing this, Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi looked at each other, and they both had a rough idea of what was going on. After all, what Shi Jin had just said had already had an impact on the two of them.
Unexpectedly, Shi Jin stood up, left the table and bowed respectfully to Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi. The shocked two people quickly stepped forward to return the salute.
Shi Jin said sincerely and apologetically: "I came up to the mountain this time to personally apologize to my two brothers."
As soon as Shi Jin said these words, everyone at the table was shocked. Lu Zhishen said: "Brother, where did you start with these words?"
"I left Huazhou this time because I wanted to use the birthday card as military supplies, so I went to King Chao Tian of Shijie Village. Seven or eight people conspired and started to take action."
"At that time, we inquired and found out that Brother Yang was responsible for escorting the birthday card, so we selected three hundred men to be taken by me and a few brothers to follow him secretly. Brother Yang was fine all the way, and we didn't bother him. Whenever there was anything, When Brother Yang encounters difficulties, he secretly helps in the dark..."
When Yang Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but think of all the strange things that happened when escorting the birthday gang. One thing that impressed Yang Zhi the most was that when they were escorting the birthday gang across a big river, they were attacked by bandits and killed. After retreating from the bandits, a large number of corpses of the bandits were found on the opposite hillside, including many of the bandits' leaders. Each one of them was in the same death state, with ordinary faces, and most of them had their swords unsheathed. Yang Zhi even found that none of those people moved, but they left a deep blood hole in his heart and throat. However, Yang Zhi did not find a single figure at that time, nor did he hear the slightest sound of fighting. This unknowingly and silently killing so many people really frightened Yang Zhi, and this left an indelible memory in his heart.
When Yang Zhi thought about it, he asked hurriedly without waiting for Shi Jin to continue: "What kind of magic did you use to kill so many people silently without leaving any traces?"
After hearing this, Shi Jin smiled slightly and said: "It sounds a bit mysterious to say, but it is not difficult to do." Shi Jin looked at Yang Zhi and continued: "We specially modified a batch of bows and arrows, using tough The fishing line was tied to the tail end of the arrow feathers. We led the people to ambush a hundred steps behind the bandits. Ten thousand arrows were fired at the critical and fatal points. After killing with one move, we immediately tied the arrow feathers with fishing lines. Take it back, that's why there are only blood holes but no traces left."
"What a strange method. If you attack me like this, I will definitely be unable to guard against it. However, there is one thing I still don't understand. Why do you bother to follow me from the beginning?"
"Follow me from the beginning. Firstly, I'm afraid that you will change your direction halfway. Secondly, I'm also afraid that some 'outsider' will strike first and take advantage of you. Therefore, I want to protect you and also protect the birth plan," Shi Jin said with a look of shame on his face: "But I don't expect that my brother is not a direct descendant of the official family, but a member of our Jianghu. If there weren't thousands of brothers in Huazhou waiting for this money to help, I, Shi Jin, would never dare to shortchange your wealth. I hope that my two brothers Atonement,"
After hearing this, Yang Zhi suddenly slapped the table, which shocked everyone at the table. Yang Zhi stared with a pair of tiger eyes and shouted angrily: "For this birthday card, I have an extra gold character tattooed on my face. In the official palace You are always careful, you finally managed to get into an army, and you almost died all the way, but you got away with nothing like you," Yang Zhi scolded on the spur of the moment, ignoring Zhang Qing and Yang who had been making eyes at him next to him. Zhi pointed at Shi Jin and yelled, "You only know that your brothers in Huazhou are in urgent need of gold and silver for transportation, but you don't think about how my brother Erlongshan will live. You transport this wealth back to Huazhou, and my brother Erlongshan I also need to come to you and enjoy it,”
Lu Zhishen also stood up with a roar at this time. Seeing the two people turning against each other, Wu Song was afraid that he would attack in the next moment, so he also stood up with a roar and faced Shi Jin to protect him, clenching his fists There was a rattling sound, and at this moment, Zhang Qing also saw the tension in the atmosphere. The strong smell of gunpowder made him suddenly sweat. Zhang Qing quickly stood up and wanted to persuade him, but unexpectedly, Lu Zhishen shouted before him. : "Well said, here comes someone,"
The minions waiting outside had long heard Yang Zhi's anger. When they all knew that something had changed in the hall, they secretly drew out their swords and stood ready. When they heard the big master's shout, they immediately rushed in and took Shi Jin. Wu Song surrounded him, and the Juyi Hall was immediately filled with the light of swords.
"Brother, don't,"
"Go down here and order all the people in the village to pack up their equipment and dress up as escorts, caravans, and civilians," Lu Zhishen just ordered. The gangsters who broke in with knives were a little dumbfounded, and they couldn't react at the moment. Come, even Wu Song and Zhang Qing on the side were a little surprised. At that moment, Lu Zhishen shouted again: "Go quickly,"
"Yes," Lu Zhishen said, and the man realized that he had heard correctly, and hurried out immediately.
When the gangsters left, Yang Zhi put on a gloomy face, picked up a jar of wine, and pulled open the mud seal. The fragrant fragrance immediately spread out. Yang Zhi turned to look at Shi, who was always calm and calm. With a quick glance, he suddenly threw it towards Shi Jin without saying a word.
Shi Jin didn't even get up. He turned halfway on the chair and held the wine jar firmly in his hand. He looked at Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, then put the wine into his mouth.
"Slow down," Lu Zhishen stopped and said, "Drinking in Erlong Mountain is not for nothing. There needs to be an explanation."
Shi Jin stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "I am going to apologize for this wine..."
"No," Yang Zhi looked at Shi Jin with a pair of scorching eyes: "If you drink this wine, you will become brothers who live and die together. You say we will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, and I will not refuse."
"This is exactly the truth," Lu Zhishen grinned at this moment.
When Wu Song and Zhang Qing took a look, they realized that Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen were just pretending to be angry and joking. At that moment, everyone was very happy. They all picked up a jar of wine, opened the mud seal, and drank in unison. He said, "Fuck it," and each of them drank a jar of wine.
Shi Jin drank it all in one gulp, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and sighed: "What a strong wine. From now on, we will be true brothers."
"True brothers, forever," the five of them said in unison, smiling heartily.
