Chapter 98 Entering Hu's Village under the pseudonym Yanqing
Chapter 98 Entering Hujiazhuang under the pseudonym Yan Qing
Under the command of Yue Fei, the 2,000 Fuhu Army ceased its flag and marched straight to Zhujiazhuang overnight.
Yang Zhi, Yan Qing and others accompanied the army.
Because Wu Song was seriously injured, he stayed at Wang's house in Yizhou to recuperate.
It is about three hundred miles from Yishui to Zhujiazhuang.
Wang Lin's death order was to rush to Dulonggang, the northern exit of Liangshan Mountain, within three days.
For now, this should be the limit of the Fuhu Army.
After all, the horse army only had one battalion controlled by Yue Fei, which consisted of 500 people. The rest were infantry, and could march more than a hundred miles a day at most.
Wang Lin was worried about Meng Yulou's safety, so he left the main force, activated his magic skill, and went alone. At dusk that day, he arrived at the foot of Dulong Gang.
This was Wang Lin's first time using the magic skill on a large scale for a long time. Although the effect was better than he imagined, he was not a god after all. He ran for three hundred miles at high speed in one go. He felt like he was exhausted and was sweating profusely.
Drenched and pale, he rested in the grass at the foot of the hill for a long time.
This place is very, very close to Liangshan.
Looking south from Wang Lin's perspective, he could vaguely see the big flag fluttering in the wind on Liangshan Mountain, as well as the surrounding 800 miles of water, the vast crisscrossing ditches, and the afterglow of the setting sun, which formed the largest barrier on Liangshan Mountain.
.
Liangshanbo is also called "Liangshan Lake".
In the first year of Kaiyun in the Later Jin Dynasty, the third year of Tianxi in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the tenth year of Xining, the water from three major breaches of the Yellow River gathered here, causing Liangshan Lake to expand again and again, so vast and boundless.
Liangshan Po is the only way for the Yellow River to pass through, and the water is the strongest, so it is known as "Liangshan Po Eight Hundred Miles of Water".
"The vast ocean is so vast that it is difficult for a boat to support the sun."
Being immersed in the scene, Wang Lin couldn't help but think of Han Qi's "Guoliangshan Po".
However, this grand occasion gradually ceased to exist as the Yellow River changed its course. By the time he lived in his previous life, Liangshan was the only mountain without a drop of water at all.
Water is the source of life, and the surrounding states and counties have actually created a lot of land of plenty and densely populated areas in Shandong.
Otherwise, how can it be said that there are three Zhuangzi, Zhujiazhuang, Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang on Dulonggang, with a population of 10,000 or 20,000 people?
Wang Lin knew very well that at this stage, people like Song Jiang, Chao Gai, and others had not yet gone to Liangshan to rally and raise the banner. The strength of Liangshan at this time was far inferior to that of the three villages at the foot of the mountain, so they could live in peace and harmony.
.
Otherwise, how could the tiger sleep soundly beside the couch?
A dirt road about two feet wide was obviously artificially constructed and extended upward for more than ten miles.
Wang Lin walked in a hurry and met no merchants or pedestrians on the road. Even the locals were nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Lin had never found the so-called Zhujia's old store that was burned down by Shi Qian in the Water Margin. Along the way, there was no inn where he could stay or find out information, so he became irritated.
This area of more than a hundred miles is the sphere of influence of Sanzhuang. Since Wu Song said that Zhu Biao robbed first, and Meng Yulou was later rescued by a masked woman, this means that Meng Yulou did not fall into the hands of Zhujiazhuang people.
Then, the most likely possibility is that he was rescued by people from Hujiazhuang or Lijiazhuang who pounced on Li Ying.
Suddenly, the fierce roar of horse hooves came from the direction below the post. Wang Lin was startled and turned around to look.
More than ten riders came galloping over.
The leader was a man in his early twenties, with a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a satin shirt, and holding a simple knife.
After this person, everyone dressed up as a banker in Tsing Yi.
The people from Hujiazhuang, Wang Lin's heart moved.
Hu Cheng glanced at Wang Lin on his horse and saw that Wang Lin had an unusual appearance and a graceful demeanor. Especially his face was unfamiliar and he was obviously not from Sanzhuang. He stopped his horse slowly, turned to Wang Lin and shouted: "Who are you?
Where to go?”
When Hu Cheng shouted and asked, Wang Lin suddenly remembered someone from Hujiazhuang. He said calmly without changing his expression: "I am from Damingfu, Hebei Province. My surname is Yan and my name is Qing. May I ask where to go from Hujiazhuang?"
Hu Cheng jumped off his horse with a cry, looked Wang Lin up and down, and said in surprise: "Are you Yan Qing, the famous prodigal son of Hebei?"
Wang Lin cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
Hu Cheng laughed loudly: "It turns out that Yan Xiaoyi is here! I am Hu Cheng of Hujiazhuang. I wonder why Brother Yan is visiting me in Hujiazhuang?"
Wang Lin smiled slightly: "Yan was wandering around Shandong and heard that the brothers and sisters of the Hu family in Hujiazhuang, Feitianhu and Yizhangqing, are famous for their martial arts skills, so they came here to pay a visit."
These days, it is common for people from all over the world to travel and visit each other, so Hu Cheng did not feel out of place. He smiled loudly and asked Zhuang Ke to give up a horse, "Brother Yan, please!"
Wang Lin got on his horse with clean and quick movements.
Hu Cheng nodded and took the lead to gallop away. Wang Lin rode on horseback and mixed in with the villagers, and entered Hujiazhuang after a while.
When entering the village, Wang Lin looked at it secretly. The Hujiazhuang was huge in scale, with high and deep courtyard walls. There was a spacious suspension bridge hanging in front of the main entrance, and underneath it was a river protecting the village, about two to three feet wide, flowing around the village.
This is not a farm, it is clearly a castle that has been fortified over many years.
On top of the castle, an indistinct number of bankers, heavily armed and heavily guarded, were gathered in darkness.
This Zhuangzi is actually larger than the Yishui County where Wang Lin works.
From Hujiazhuang, we can get a glimpse of the shape and scale of Zhujiazhuang.
…
Zhujiazhuang.
Zhu Chaofeng looked gloomy and paced back and forth in the hall.
The three heroes of the Zhu family, Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, and Zhu Biao stood on one side, and on the other side was a tall and tall man. Although this man had an ordinary appearance, he had a calm demeanor and stood as tall as a mountain.
Zhu Chaofeng turned around and glared at Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, you are really too reckless this time! That Wang Lin is famous far and wide, and he is also an official of the imperial court. It is said that Fuhu God General is a protégé of the emperor. He has a great background. The key is that he
How can you rob the Wang family's caravan in such a good manner when you still have an army in your hands?"
Zhu Biao said disapprovingly: "Dad, I actually didn't know it was the Wang family's caravan at first. When I saw a beautiful young lady in the caravan, I was tempted and went to rob it. Who knew that Cheng Yaojin would appear on the way?
Come on, that little lady was rescued... I've been busy all this time in vain. However, it's just a few carts of goods, and they were robbed. It's just Wang Lin, a small official as big as a sesame seed, and an official from Yizhou.
He still dares to come to Zhujiazhuang to investigate?"
"If he dares to come, he will never come back!"
Zhu Chaofeng sneered: "You bastard, you really don't know how high the sky is. No matter how powerful the Zhu family is, they are still the people. The people don't fight with the officials, don't you know? This Wang Lin is not easy to mess with. Please hurry up and take away the Wang family's goods and money."
Send it back to avoid bringing trouble to my Zhu family!"
Zhu Biao curled his lips and said: "Dad, even if the goods are sent back at this time, the problem is still broken. In this case, why bother asking for trouble?"
Zhu Long also advised from the side: "Yes, Dad, now that the matter has come to this, we can only wait and see what happens. However, there is no need to worry, let alone Wang Lin, even if the imperial court sends troops and horses to pacify my Zhujiazhuang, it will not
so easy!"
Zhu Hu echoed: "When the soldiers come, we will block it, and when the water comes, the soil will cover it. With the three heroes of our Zhu family and Teacher Luan here, there are thousands of soldiers in the village, and the soldiers are well-fed. In Shandong, who can attack my Zhu family village?"
There aren’t many people.”
Seeing the three sons singing harmoniously and being arrogant, Zhu Chaofeng had no choice but to look at Luan Tingyu and smile bitterly: "Teacher Luan, please lead people to guard the door to prevent Wang Lin from bringing people to seek revenge!"
Luan Tingyu nodded slowly: "Please rest assured, Chao Feng, I will be careful, just in case."
Luan Tingyu was actually quite upset.
He was originally a chivalrous and righteous person, and the last thing he saw was committing crimes. Five years ago, he fell to Zhujiazhuang due to illness. He wanted to teach the three heroes of the Zhu family martial arts and live in seclusion here. Unexpectedly, the three sons of the Zhu family
He is becoming more and more useless, and the activities he does in daily life are becoming more and more embarrassing to him.
However, Zhu Chaofeng was so kind to him that he could not leave the Zhu family for a while.
…
Hujiazhuang.
In the inner house, Hu Sanniang was chatting with Meng Yulou in the boudoir. During the past two days, the relationship between the two women became increasingly close.
Of course, the most talked about topic is Meng Yulou’s husband, Wang Lin.
Meng Yulou praised his husband as something rare in the sky and hard to find on earth, saying that he had superb martial arts skills, outstanding literary talent, and handsome appearance, and that he was one of the best among men. Hu Sanniang just listened and didn't take it too seriously.
If you can account for one of these three, you are already a hero in this world.
Having all three, Hu Sanniang felt that such a person might only appear in a girl's dream of Huaichun.
But there is one thing that Hu Sanniang has no doubt about.
Wang Lin treats his women very well.
In fact, she couldn't simply use the word "good" to describe it. In short, when she saw Meng Yulou's sweet and happy expression when he mentioned Wang Lin, she knew it was true.
This is enough to show that once the news of Meng Yulou's accident in Dulonggang reaches Wang Lin, Wang Lin will definitely come to Dulonggang to save people.
And I will definitely not let things go with the Zhu family.
Hu Sanniang really wanted to take the opportunity to meet the world-famous Fuhu Divine General and test his martial arts skills to see if he was as brave as the rumors.
At this time, a report came from the front yard saying that Yan Qing from Daming Prefecture in Hebei Province was visiting and was having a banquet with Hu Cheng and asked her to come and accompany the guest.
Hu Sanniang was a little surprised. This Yan Qing was also a famous hero, the adopted son of Lu Junyi from Hebei Yuqilin. He suddenly came to our Hujiazhuang... Hu Sanniang hesitated for a moment, then said to Meng Yulou: "Sister Meng, please wait a moment, I will go there."
Come!"
Hu Sanniang left in a hurry.
She didn't notice that there was a strong look of surprise on Meng Yulou's charming face.
Yan Qing was a warrior under the command of the Xian Gong. Yan Qing came to Hujiazhuang at this time, obviously on the commission of Wang Lin. Maybe the Xian Gong was also here.
But after a while, Meng Yulou felt suspicious again.
It had only been two or three days since her accident. Wu Song desperately escaped from the siege and went to Yizhou to report the news. At this time, the news had just reached Yizhou, and it seemed that his husband would not arrive so quickly.
Meng Yulou thought carefully and worried about gains and losses.
Fortunately, she knew that Hu Sanniang had no ill intentions towards her, so hiding here with her should be safe for the time being.
