Zhu Biao saw Li Ying coming towards him with a long gun, and he immediately shouted loudly and mounted his horse to fight Li Ying.
The two were just in front of Dulong Gang, fighting for seventeen or eight times, back and forth, up and down. Zhu Biao and Li were unable to cope. Seeing that their killing moves were about to be exhausted, they quickly pulled the reins and returned to their horses. Before leaving, Zhu Biao had just spoken rudely, and Li Ying felt resentful in his heart. There was no way he could spare him at this moment, so he rode off without saying a word.
Zhu Biao heard the sound of horse hooves behind him and was frightened. He quickly put his gun across his horse, picked up the bow with his left hand, picked up the arrow with his right hand, put the arrow on it, pulled the bow full, looked at him closely, turned over on his back and fired an arrow.
Yang Xiong saw this and said "Be careful," in shock. However, when Li Ying hurriedly hid, the arrow feathers came too fast, and with a whoosh, they had already pierced the upper arm. The arrow feathers were castrated. Not only that, Li Ying did somersaults and fell off his horse.
Zhu Biao glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a successful move. He immediately drew up his horse and came to grab him with his gun. When Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu saw him, they were not willing to let Zhu Biao succeed. He shouted loudly, straightened two swords and ran straight in front of Zhu Biao's horse. The killer is coming.
Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong risked their lives to fight over. Zhu Biao killed two of them with one blow, but he couldn't resist. Seeing Du Xing coming up with his sword, he thought he was no match, so he turned around and left. , at this time, Shi Xiu didn't expect that Shi Xiu would live up to his reputation as a desperate man. He immediately caught up and stabbed the horse's hindquarters with a knife. Zhu Biao's horse felt pain and stood up with its front hooves, almost knocking Zhu Biao off. He was thrown under the horse, but he lost his weapon by mistake. Fortunately, the people following the horse reacted quickly enough. Seeing that their young master was in a disadvantage, they had already set up their arrows and started shooting in this direction.
Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu saw the arrow feathers whizzing towards their faces, thinking that they did not have a strong armor shield to cover their bodies, so they had to retreat. At this time, Du Xing had already caught up and rescued Li Ying and mounted his horse. Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu followed all the villagers and retreated. Zhu Biao felt unhappy because he was willing to take advantage of Li Ying like this. When he saw the Li family's soldiers and horses leaving, he immediately sent hundreds of people from Zhu's village to chase him. After fighting and chasing for two or three miles, they almost reached the boundary of the Li family. They saw that it was getting late and the Zhu family's men did not dare to go deep, so they returned.
Du Xing supported Li Ying, returned to the front of the village, got off his horse, and went into the back hall with Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu to sit down. The family members all came out to take a look, pulled out the arrows, and the attendants took off their clothes and armor, and then gave the golden sore medicine After applying the sore, they discussed it in the back hall all night. Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and Du Xing said: "Since we have fought to this point, that guy is too rude. The senior official was hit by an arrow again, and Shi Qian can't save him." , we are the ones who have caused trouble for the senior officials. Now the senior officials have created a conflict between us and the Zhu family. Looking at the momentum of Zhu Biao, I am afraid that he will kill them all and will definitely come to call for war tomorrow. The situation is tight, or is it? My two brothers went up to Liangshanbo overnight to beg Chao Gai, the head of the family, to let him bring all the leaders to avenge the high officials, and by the way, Shi Qian was saved."
Li Ying nodded, feeling angry and ashamed at the same time, and said: "Brothers, it's not that I, Li Ying, didn't care, it's really out of helplessness. Don't blame the two brothers." Then he asked Du Xing to get some gold and silver. As a gift, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu are willing to accept it.
Li Ying said: "There is no need to push the two of you above the rivers and lakes. It is inevitable that there will be some things to do on the way to Liangshan."
Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu then accepted and bid farewell to Li Ying. Du Xing led two fast horses and sent them out of the village entrance and pointed to the direction of the main road. Du Xing then saw him off. The three of them said goodbye and then returned to Lijiazhuang without further ado. .
Let's talk about Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu. They took the road to Liangshan and drove all night. The next day it was getting brighter and they saw a newly built hotel in the distance. The wine flag stuck out, which made people look at it from a distance on the road. Xian Yan, after walking all night, almost reached the boundary of Liangshan Shuibo. However, even after half a circle, he could not find the entrance to the mooring. At that moment, he was thirsty and hungry, so he got off his horse and went to the inn to fill his stomach. They asked about the distance, but Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu didn't know that this hotel was a newly built hotel in Liangshanbo, and it was managed by Shi Yong.
Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu tied their horses to the horse posts in front, entered the shop, and ordered a few kilograms of wine and a few kilograms of beef. While eating the wine, they asked the bartender about the journey to Liangshanbo.
Shi Yong heard from behind the counter that these two people were going to Liangshan, so he couldn't help but take a closer look, and saw that they had very special looks, completely different from the ordinary people's demeanor, so he thought they must be heroes who came to seek refuge. , so he dismissed the second son, and came forward in person and said, "Where are these two guests from, and why do they want to ask about the way up the mountain?"
As soon as Yang Xiong saw the person, he looked quite impressive, and secretly thought that the cabinets were unusual, so this hotel must be unusual as well. He should be careful at that moment and said cautiously: "We are from Jizhou."
"Jizhou," Shi Yong thought for a while, suddenly remembered something, and asked quickly, "Could it be that Shi Xiu, the desperate Saburo, is trying his best?"
After hearing this, Yang Xiong glanced at Shi Xiu, then looked at Shi Yong and said, "I am Yang Xiong, and this brother next to me is Shi Xiu."
Shi Xiu stood up and reported his fist and said, "How did eldest brother know Shi Xiu's name?"
Shi Yong said hurriedly: "I don't recognize you. It's just because brother Dai Zong came back from Jizhou a few days ago. He told everyone many times that he has been famous for a long time. Now that he can go up the mountain, he is very happy." The three of them said to each other After bowing, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu told Shi Yong everything about going up the mountain. Shi Yong immediately asked the bartender to buy some wine to treat them, pushed open the window of the water pavilion behind, picked up his bow, and fired a ringing arrow. I saw a small group of men rowing across the reeds in the opposite port.
Shi Yong then invited the two of them to board the boat and went straight to Yabi Beach. Shi Yong had already sent people up the mountain quickly to report that he had seen Dai Zong early. Yang Lin came down the mountain to greet him. They all bowed and went up together. In Dazhai, all the leaders heard that there was a new hero coming to the mountain, and they all came to the Dazhai in Juyi Hall to greet them. Dai Zong, Yang Lin introduced Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu went to the hall to see Chao Gai, and Song Jiang joined all the leaders to meet him. , Chao Gai asked carefully about the coming and going of the two brothers.
Yang Xiong sighed, and said, "My two brothers were almost murdered by a traitor in Jizhou. Fortunately, the Shi Qian brothers who were passing through here happened to stumble upon the conspiracy. We will kill them to vent our anger, and we will not be able to stay in Jizhou." , had to escape,"
When Chao Gai heard Shi Qian's name, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Why is there no trace of brother Shi Qian? Isn't he accompanying my second brother Shi Jin?"
Shi Xiu sighed and said: "Brother Shi Qian made an appointment with me to join the Green Forest Army twice. Brother Shi Qian said that Marshal Shi Jin was thinking about Brother Chao Gai and wanted him to come and visit. However, my luck was not good... "
Before Shi Xiu finished speaking, Chao Gai was happy and then shocked when he heard this. He knew that something bad would happen later. He frowned and hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
"When the three of us passed by Zhu's store on a starry night, there was nothing to eat. Brother Shi Qian killed the dawn chicken from their store and ate it with me. They got into a quarrel and had a fight. I couldn't bear to set it on fire. After burning down his shop, the three of us tried to escape by slandering him all the way, but Zhujiazhuang sent a large team of people to catch up. The three of us tried our best to fight out, but we didn't expect Shi Qian to be caught with a scratching hook. "Shi Xiu said this, and saw Chao Gai clenching his teeth tightly, clenching his fists tightly, with a look of shock and anger on his face.
Shi Xiu continued: "I was single and weak, so I had no choice but to escape overnight. I accidentally bumped into Lijiazhuang. The owner of the village, Li Ying, had a good relationship with Zhujiazhuang for three generations. Xiu Shu went to ask for it. He could have relied on favors to rescue Shi Qian's brothers. However, the three sons of the Zhu family intervened and refused to let him go. They said that they had found Shi Qian's bag, which Marshal Shi Jin had given to Brother Chao. In the handwritten letter, they vowed to catch the good guys in the village and follow the clues to destroy the Green Forest Army. They also insulted him in every possible way. That guy simply had eyes on the top of his head and was very rude."
Chao Gai was furious and shouted: "You are so rude, you dare to arrest Shi Qian, and you are so arrogant. You are completely against him. What Zhujiazhuang and Birdjiazhuang are talking about destroying my second brother's green forest, even if it is There is nothing he can do about me in Daliang Mountain. Without further ado, today brothers, pack up the guys and follow me down the mountain to wipe out this village."
Song Jiang watched Chao Gai leave as soon as he said so. He stood up in a hurry and tried to stop him, saying: "Brother, please calm down. I haven't figured out the details of Zhujiazhuang yet. Although I have heard of this village, how many soldiers and horses there are?" "We don't know what kind of opponents there are. As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles.' I think there is no need to rush."
Chao Gai said: "Since the war with Wang Lun, the heroes of Liangshan Bo have been loyal and righteous, and have shown kindness to the people. One by one, brothers have gone down the mountain without losing any energy. The old and new brothers who have gone up the mountain are all heroes. Who in the world would not respect our copycat village? Why is this Zhujiazhuang so arrogant and rude? It’s like sitting on my grandfather’s head and shitting. An Neng will just let him live easy. I will personally lead the army to clean up that village. Cunfang saved Shi Qian and came out. The small Zhujiazhuang is not on the top of a mountain. Even if it is the king of the mountain, we are afraid of him."
Song Jiang tried to stop him and said, "Otherwise, I have always heard people say that the guys in Zhujiazhuang are going to fight against our village. Since the elder brother is determined to kill him, the younger brother will not stop him. Now the village has strong soldiers and horses, money and food." It is enough, but since he has sent it to the door, he has just taken advantage of the opportunity to take down this village. If he defeats this village, he will have to add three to five years of food. But the elder brother is the master of the village, how can he do it lightly? The younger brother is not talented, so he is willing I personally lead an army and horses, and invite a few virtuous brothers to go down the mountain to attack the Zhujiazhuang. If I don’t wash out the village and flatten it, I will definitely not return to the mountain."
Chao Gai listened, nodded, and made a preliminary decision in advance. In the village, cattle and sheep would be slaughtered, and a celebration banquet would be held. Two houses would be allocated for Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu to rest, and ten young men would be allocated for each person. Luo Fushi,
