Chapter Eighteen: Fleas on the Drum and Xinghuo Returning to the Mountain III
Although the situation in Huazhou was imminent, in Shi Jin's opinion, with the joining of two generals, Yang Zhi and Lu Zhishen, and the help of the Liang Shang brothers, it would not be difficult to defeat the imperial court's siege.
After everyone had made up their minds, Chao Gai sent the three men of the Ruan family to gather the boats at Liangshan River, pick out the big and sturdy ones, and prepare to send everyone to Huazhou the next day. At the same time, Chao Gai ordered Bai Sheng to start planning. Rations, drinks, and other supplies were provided for everyone to eat on the way. Finally, Zhu Gui did not forget to ask Zhu Gui to hold a banquet so that the brothers could have a good day of drinking.
Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Lin Chong and others packed their luggage separately, and everyone was doing their own thing. When they were busy, another messenger came galloping up from the mountain with a message. At this time, Shi Jin and Chao Gai were gathering. Sitting idle in the righteous hall, I saw this guy running to the door, so I invited him in.
"Report, there is information about Yamashita's informant," the man said, raising a bamboo tube above his head with both hands.
Chao Gai stood up and took it, retreated from the group and went down. He twisted open the bamboo tube with his hands and took out a rolled piece of papyrus. He and Shi Jin looked at it together and reported to the leader: According to various inquiries, Hidden Dragon There have been frequent movements of people in Lingzhong recently, and they seem to be similar to those of the fugitive Three Eyes. In Yuncheng County, Zhu Dingdutou is safe and sound, while Lei Hengdutou was expelled by the government that day and left Yuncheng County, demoted to a temporary post in Shuangfeng Town. .
"Lei Heng was demoted to Shuangfeng Town..." Chao Gai shook his head slightly and said: "Shuangfeng Town is a famously desolate place in Yunzhou. Except for caravans and bandits who often go there, who else would want to go there?" Go there and have nothing to eat or drink. When I heard people talk about it before, I felt that it was in ruins. Now I am assigned to work as an errand. Those days are more than just a bitter word."
"Brother Lei Heng's situation today is all because of Zhang Wenyuan. I wanted to kill this guy that day, but was blocked by other things on the way, so I couldn't do it. It's really a pain for my brothers to leave this scourge behind. ," Shi Jin said angrily.
"Shuangfeng Town is some distance away from Liangshan..." Chao Gai lowered his head and thought for a moment and said: "Well, no matter what, I will contact him first, and I will send people to take care of him."
Shi Jin nodded. Although he didn't say anything more, he felt in his heart that he should do something before leaving to be worthy of the brothers who had helped Yuncheng over and over again. Deep down in Shi Jin's heart, he always felt that this matter could not end so hastily. Vaguely, there is always an indescribable feeling, as if everything has been arranged and is just waiting for an opportunity.
With this uneasiness, Shi Jin and Chao Gai gathered together with the Liangshan brothers at noon. They drank from big bowls and ate meat. They were extremely happy and happy. This meal of wine and meat lasted most of the afternoon. , until the sun sets in the west, the people still stay together, making fists to persuade people to drink, and it is really lively. But just when they are drinking and drinking, a minion rushes up from the mountain and stands outside the hall to report something important.
Chao Gai called in, and the guy handed over another bamboo tube. Shi Jin, who was sitting next to Chao Gai, could see clearly that it was another piece of military aircraft information. Chao Gai and Shi Jin looked at each other, and the two of them felt mixed feelings. Chao Gai Gai twisted the bamboo tube open, took out the papyrus inside and looked at it with Shi Jin, and reported to the leader: It has been clearly investigated that our traitorous Three Eyes and others are indeed the new troops stationed in Zanglong Ridge. In the afternoon, a few people came out of the mountain, and at Youshi, the Three Eyes and others came out in full force and headed towards Shuangfeng Town.
,,Three Eyes, Twin Peaks.
These two words were put together at this moment, and Shi Jin's heart tightened when he saw it. He couldn't explain why, but he had an indescribable feeling of ominousness, and he couldn't help but worry about Lei Heng.
Everyone looked at Chao Gai and Shi Jin with vague displeasure on their faces after reading the information. Wu Yong then asked: "Brother Chao, could it be that there is news about that group of rebel traitors?"
Chao Gai nodded and said: "Yes, they are in Hidden Dragon Ridge, but the informant over there reported that the Three Eyes and others came out in full force at Youshi and headed towards Shuangfeng Town."
"That's not a good idea," Lin Chong said, standing up and saying, "Brothers, take a rest for a moment. I'm going to pick up this guy's dog head and come back. I was worried that he would be huddled in the mountain and wouldn't come out. This is just right for us. That's what I want," Lin Chong said, then stood up slowly and slowly, and called his minions to get his spear.
"Slow down, Coach Lin, wait a minute," Wu Yong saw Lin Chong drinking heartily and was already a little drunk. He was afraid that he would make a mistake by going there, so he stretched out his hand to stop Lin Chong and said, "Coach Lin, don't be anxious, you can sit down first. Think long term,”
Wu Yong was the number one think tank in the village, and Lin Chong respected him very much. When he heard what Wu Yong said, he sat down and waited for Wu Yong to give him advice. However, Wu Yong did not speak, but stood up. , he lifted up the wine jar, sifted the wine bowl in front of Lin Chong, and said: "Teacher Lin, I haven't drunk enough wine yet, how can I let you go elsewhere?" After saying that, he gently leaned against Ruan beside him. The waiter, Ruan Xiaoer, and Wu Yong have known each other for a long time. They understood what Wu Yong meant best at the moment, so they quickly brought the wine bowl to drink with Coach Lin.
Coach Lin couldn't refuse. After finishing the bowl, he quickly asked Wu Yong, "Military advisor, after all the hard work of waiting for him to come out, why don't you deal with this remnant early so that all the brothers can feel at ease?"
"It's really not possible to let him get away with it, but now that these three eyes have come out, if he doesn't get some benefits, he won't go back in despair. I guess he is also afraid that we will seek his bad luck, and the cat does not dare to come out in the mountains. , hurriedly grabbed some food from the nearby mountain people, but how long can it last? Even if Three Eyes can stay, he will never be hungry and will always come out to find some food." Speaking of this, Wu Yong stood He stood up and paced among the people and said: "Brothers, think about it, there were only dozens of people when he escaped from Liangshan, and the news we inquired a few days ago said that there were nearly a hundred people in Zanglong Ridge. , this guy must have been very familiar with Zanglong Ridge before he went up the mountain. In other words, when he went there, he wanted to hide there and settle down, but he was anxious for help. These hundreds of people were eating, drinking, and defecating in a day, which was not a problem. It's a trivial matter. He came from the mountains, and he didn't dare to ask Yuncheng County to "borrow food" with these manpower. If he invaded the village, it would be easy to leave traces. He was afraid that we would follow the clues and find him, so he had no choice but to run far away. Some of them took a detour from one side of Yuncheng County to the other. Although Shuangfeng Town was so desolate that not even a blade of grass grew, the government was unwilling to take care of it. The chaos in public security was a good opportunity for them to take action, and Shuangfeng Town was a business community. In a place where teams pass frequently, wouldn't it be easy to rob some supplies and food and grass? Since they are all out this time, I'm afraid they have stepped on it better and are waiting for an ambush." Wu Yong said this in a long speech, paused, and looked towards Lin Chong said: "With the greedy nature of the Three Eyes, since they risk their lives and return with a full load, it will inevitably affect their traveling speed, and it will be very eye-catching. Why don't we wait for them to return before killing them?" They were caught off guard and killed two birds with one stone,"
"The military advisor is indeed a military advisor," Lin Chong was convinced in his heart. He then filled up the wine and presented it to Wu Yong. The two of them drank a large bowl of wine.
Although what Wu Yong said was reasonable, Wu Yong didn't know the news that Lei Heng was in Shuangfeng Town at this time. If these three eyes took a hundred people to Shuangfeng Town to rob the caravan, they would follow Lei Heng's instructions. He has such a violent temper, how could he just sit back and do nothing, he will definitely be involved, and there are so many people, if something goes wrong, how can these brothers be worthy of the word "righteousness" between their chests? Shi Jin and Chao Gai looked at each other. , said: "I am destined to take this trip,"
Everyone looked at Shi Jin together.
Shi Jin picked up the wine bowl and said: "We are here today because of Lei Heng's power. Right now, he is being framed by evil people. He is currently serving as an assassin alone in Shuangfeng Town. If the Three Eyes rob the caravan tonight, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for Lei Heng not to think about this flood. Brothers are in trouble. How can I, Shi Jin, just sit back and do nothing. Brothers, please thank me and lend me a fast horse. I will have three eyes, so I will go back quickly. "
"Brother, just ride on my horse," Chao Gai said, calling the boy over, and went to the back mountain to fetch the curly-haired lion beast that traveled thousands of miles a day. Chao Gai loved BMWs the most, which was why he spent so much money back then. A good horse bought with little thought. The horse spread its hooves and flew away as if it were flying with wings. Ordinary horses can't even be half as good as it even if they are exhausted. Except for Chao Gai himself, this kind of horse can't be compared. He was willing to lend it to others to ride on, but this time he was so generous that he lent it to Shi Jin, which shows Chao Gai's close trust in Shi Jin.
However, this was all unknown to Shi Jin. Shi Jin was eager to leave. When the young man brought the horse, he was stunned for a moment. The horse looked domineering from a distance. The horse's frame is much taller than that of ordinary horses. The muscles of the four strong horse legs are tensed into arcs full of explosive power. The horseshoes are clasped on the ground, and they feel like they are about to take off at any time. Shi Jin stepped forward with a simple sword. He pulled the reins around his waist and turned onto the horse. Only then did he realize that the horse's back was much wider than that of ordinary horses. Sitting on it was as stable as a fish platform and gave him a condescending and domineering feeling.
"What a good horse," Shi Jin couldn't help but sigh.
Wu Yong smiled and said: "No, this is your brother Chao's treasure,"
"Then," Lin Chong came over at this time and threw a silver gun in the air. Shi Jin caught it in the air and spun a gorgeous gun flower, then hung it on the side of the horse and said, "Thank you very much, Coach Lin. A good gun,"
Lin Chong smiled happily when he was drunk.
Shi Jin was ready to continue, and immediately wanted to turn off the switch and leave, but Wu Yong said: "Be careful when going down the mountain this time. I will send twenty more Qingqi to go with you in case of emergency."
Shi Jin never thought of taking anyone with him, and even if he did, he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed of the crotch. However, Shi Jin couldn't resist Wu Yong's kindness, so he immediately ordered twenty Qingqi. After passing through the various gates of the village and passing the Golden Beach, Ruan Xiaoqi arranged for a few speedboats to transport Shi Jin and others up to the boundary of Yuncheng.
