It was late at night when Hou Jian came out of the magistrate's office. Regardless of how tired he was, he walked to the inn where Xue Yong was staying.
Hou Jian is from Hongdu, and he is known as a first-hand tailor in the world. He is very good at sewing with flying needles. The clothes he makes are extremely exquisite. Rich families like to ask him to make some clothes. He also learned some martial arts skills, because he is dark and thin.
, so agile and agile that people in the world also call him a brachiosaurus.
Hou Jian had previously made clothes for Huang Wenbing when he was in the Wuwei Army. After Huang Wenbing was promoted to magistrate, he naturally had to buy more robes, so he recruited Hou Jian.
However, after Xue Yong crossed the Xunyang River with Chao Yong and others that day, he separated from Chao Yong and others and went to Wuwei Army to find Hou Jian.
Hou Jian was naturally very happy when his master came to look for him, so he left Xue Yong to sell guns and sticks in the Wuwei Army, so that he could learn some guns and sticks along the way.
After Huang Wenbing recruited Hou Jian to come to Jiangzhou, Xue Yong was also a man accustomed to rivers and lakes. He couldn't stay alone in Wuweijun, so he came to Jiangzhou to make a living.
Xue Yong had also put away his gun and stick at this time and returned to the inn to rest. Seeing Hou Jian coming in a hurry, he hurriedly said: "Apprentice, why are you panicking?"
Hou Jian took a breath and said: "The situation is bad. When I was working at the prefect's Yamen today, I heard them say that Dai Zong, the magical Taibao, colluded with Liangshan strongmen to rescue Song Jiang. He didn't want Huang Wenbing to see through, and now he was captured and imprisoned. Five
From now on, I will kill them both at the street corner."
When Xue Yong heard this, he wondered: "The troops from Liangshan are coming to attack Jiangzhou?"
Hou Jian shook his head and said: "Liangshan and Jiangzhou are separated by so many state capitals. How can it be possible to mobilize a large group of people? I heard that Liangshan forged a letter from Cai Jing in order to get Song Jiang out of the city. I think he wanted to start outside the city.
.”
Xue Yong nodded and said: "Looking at it this way, I'm afraid not many people from Liangshan will come."
Hou Jian saw that his master Xue Yong didn't look anxious at all, so he couldn't help but said: "Didn't Song Jiang have friendship with the master before in Jieyang Town? He is also a well-known hero, so I have to save him at least one way."
Xue Yong shook his head and said: "It was the little overlord Chao Yong who gave me a piece of silver that day. Later it was Chao Yong and Ruan Xiaoqi who helped me fight Mu Hong. Song Jiang was carrying a wooden shackle at that time. I heard it before
I got the name of Song Jiang, and I had a few conversations with him that day. Seeing his extraordinary words, I thought he was a real man. But he turned out to be such a greedy and fearful person who did such shameful things. I was ashamed to be associated with him.
"
Hou Jian was also disgusted by the scandal that Song Jiang had done that spread throughout Jiangzhou. He shook his head and said, "Even if we don't save Song Jiang, Master still has to return favors to the little overlord. The heroes of Liangshan are going to save people halfway, so they will definitely send people to the city to neutralize them."
Dai Zong inquired about the news. Huang Wenbing is cunning and cunning, and he may have already made arrangements. If the Liangshan hero goes to look for Dai Zong rashly, he may be caught by Huang Wenbing."
Hearing this, Xue Yong frowned and said, "You can see that too, but I only recognize the Little Overlord Chao Yong and the Living Yama Ruan Xiaoqi. If other people come, I won't be able to recognize them, but how can I remind them."
Hou Jian just heard about Dai Zong's accident and rushed over with enthusiasm. Hearing this, he couldn't help but lose his mind.
He walked around on the ground with a frown for a while, then suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said: "Yes, the heroes of Liangshan want to rescue Song Jiang halfway, and there must be a lot of people coming. They can only hide outside the city, and they cannot leave the hiding place.
Jiangzhou is too close to avoid being noticed. I guess that most of them settled in Jieyang Town. The first one is only separated from Jiangzhou City by the Xunyang River, and the two are not blocked. Mu Hong also went to Liangshan Juyi. He was familiar with the topography of Jieyang Town.
But it is familiar, and it can still be done if you want to hide a hundred or eighty people."
After hearing this, Xue Yong nodded and said: "Then I will go to Jieyang Town to look for them for a few days. If I find them, it will be a good time to repay Chao Yong's favor. If I cannot find them, I can only blame Song Jiang and Dai Zong for their fate."
When Hou Jian saw what Xue Yong said, he knew that this was all they could do.
The next day, just after dawn, Xue Yong packed up his clothes, crossed the Xunyang River, and came to Jieyang Town.
Xue Yong came to Mu Hong Village and saw that Mu Hong Village was overgrown with weeds and densely covered with cobwebs. Apparently after Mu Hong and others left, the people in the town didn't know if they would come back, and they didn't dare to come and occupy his village.
, so it was deserted.
Xue Yong walked around and saw no trace of anyone coming, so he had no choice but to return to the town, set up shop, and sell plaster with guns and sticks. If Mu Hong and others came back, they would naturally see him.
After Mu Hong and others left, no one in Jieyang town could stop others from dominating, so no one came to blackmail him.
Xue Yong found an inn to stay in the town. He used guns and sticks to sell medicine in the town every morning, and returned to the inn to rest in the evening.
Liangshan went south, but there were many rivers, so Chao Yong and others did not ride horses. Knowing that Dai Zong could not reach a galloping horse, he did not dare to delay much on the way, so he took all the small roads and hurried all night to get to Jiangzhou.
Although everyone was a martial arts practitioner and had strong bodies, they were all exhausted when they arrived at Jieyang Ridge after traveling so fast.
After looking at the land, Chao Yong asked Mu Hong to find a secluded valley on Jieyang Ridge, and everyone hid in the valley to rest.
Mu Hong rested for a while, regained his breath, looked at the sun that was already turning westward, and said: "Let's go to Jieyang Town first to see if there are any annoying people in our village. Then we can buy some food and wine along the way.
When we came back, everyone was hungry after a long day's journey, and had to stay up late at night before going down the mountain."
"Okay, let's go and see how long your tiger power can frighten everyone in Jieyang Town."
Chao Yong's plan is to hide in Mu Hong's village first, and then decide where to attack after finding out the escort route. However, the prerequisite is that Mu Hong's village has not been occupied, otherwise everyone will have to hide in Jieyang Ridge.
Hiding.
When Mu Hong heard this, he smiled and said: "I have made the rogues in the town docile. Within a year and a half, they will definitely not dare to occupy my village."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Okay, which brother wants to go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Kui immediately shouted: "Tieniu is already starving. I want to go with you, lest you start eating and drinking by yourself in the town and forget about us."
When Chao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "Then the three of us will go. Brother Wu Song, you guys have a rest here, and we will come back as soon as we go."
Wu Song, however, was running around for days and finally rested. Since there were people doing hard work, he didn't want to move. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then let Tieniu go with you. He is strong and can carry more food and wine back."
Going down the ridge was easy. The three of them trotted all the way down Jieyang ridge and arrived at Jieyang town.
When people in the town saw Mu Hong coming back, they all came forward to say hello.
When the three of them walked to the center of the town, they saw many people gathered around looking at guns and clubs.
"Give way, give way"
Li Kui was a lively fellow, so he shouted and ran over.
The people in Jieyang town saw that Li Kui looked ferocious and had two big axes in his waist, so they hurriedly got out of the way.
Chao Yong looked through the space where people got out of the way, only to find that the man wielding the stick in the middle was Xue Yong, a big sick insect.
Xue Yong also saw Chao Yong and Mu Hong. He quickly put away his whistle stick, clasped his fists around and said: "I have something to do today, so I came here first. Thank you for your support." (To be continued. If you
