When the soldiers and horses of Hujiazhuang saw Hu Sanniang being captured alive, they were immediately in a dilemma. They had to strictly maintain their formation and send someone back to the village to report the news.
Chao Yong naturally did not intend to attack the soldiers and horses of Hujiazhuang. As soon as he turned his horse's head, he saw another group of soldiers and horses coming from the east. The first one was tall and handsome, dressed in a crimson robe, with a divine white horse under his crotch, and a steel pointer in his hand.
The spear is none other than Li Ying.
On the left is an ugly person with an ugly face, none other than Duxing with the grimace, and on the right is Zhu Long, a fish that had slipped through the net before.
If Liu Tang looks like a ghost, then Du Xing is an ugly ghost. Although his face has no traces of injury, it is more terrifying than being injured. It can be said that he is naturally ugly to the extreme. At first glance, he looks a bit ghostly.
Feel.
After Li Ying received Zhujiazhuang's request for help, he did not dare to delay at all. He ordered his troops and horses to come to the rescue.
Unexpectedly, they met Zhu Long who was fleeing in embarrassment on the way, and then they found out that Zhu Biao had died in the battle and Zhujiazhuang had also been captured.
Originally, Li Ying thought that it would not be difficult to recapture Zhujiazhuang if Liangshan soldiers and horses had not completely defeated Zhujiazhuang's soldiers, so he could lead his troops over and cooperate with others from inside and outside.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived in front of the village, I heard the commotion in the village, but there seemed to be no resistance.
In front of the village, dozens of horsemen were blocking the village gate. Looking at their armor, they were soldiers and horses from the Dongping Prefecture. One of the young generals was holding a woman in his arms.
There were more than a dozen Hujiazhuang cavalry troops nearby, but Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang were nowhere to be seen.
Du Xing, the grimacing boy, was sharp-eyed and recognized the red brocade lasso in Hu Sanniang's hand held by Chao Yong, and said: "That person seems to have Hu Sanniang from Hujiazhuang in his arms, and Luan Tingyu, the teacher from Zhujiazhuang, is also in the bandit formation."
Li Ying also saw Hu Sanniang's sun and moon swords hanging on the horse following Chao Yong, but it was Hu Sanniang's horse that turned around to look for its owner.
Chao Yong held Sanniang in his arms, turned around and said, "Is the person here Li Ying the Eagle Flying to the Sky?"
Li Yingdao: "Exactly, I wonder who you are from Liangshan?"
"Liangshan Chao Yong."
"It turns out to be the little overlord Chao Yong. I heard that Liangshan upholds justice for heaven and does not harm the people. I wonder how we can attack Zhujiazhuang today?"
"This Zhujiazhuang oppresses the villagers, commits many evil deeds, and seeks wealth and murder in Zhujiazhuang's shop. He is the one whom I, Liangshan, want to do justice to. The owner of Zhujiazhuang came here with his troops. Could it be that he is colluding with Zhujiazhuang behind his back?
"
Li Ying also knew some details about Zhujiazhuang. Hearing that Liangshan acted for heaven and stood on the peak of morality, he could only say: "I, Lijiazhuang, don't know about these activities in Zhujiazhuang. It's just that the three villages have a life and death covenant, but there is good and bad luck.
They helped each other, so Li Yingcai came with his troops."
Although he was the chief of Lijiazhuang and had the responsibility to protect the place, Zhujiazhuang, which had strong soldiers and horses, was destroyed instantly, and Hu Sanniang of Hujiazhuang was also captured alive. He was the only one left in the three villages. He was already a mantis with one arm as an enemy against Liangshan, so he already had some confidence.
insufficient.
It's just that Zhu Long is still on the side. If Liangshan's troops want to kill them all, if he stands by and watches and falls into the ears of the government, he will inevitably be suspected of having an affair with the grass bandits.
When Li Yingzheng was thinking about how to find an excuse to retreat, he heard Chao Yong say: "I have long heard that the owner of Zhujiazhuang is also a hero. It was only because he was deceived by Zhujiazhuang that he made an alliance. Now that I know Zhujiazhuang
He has done many evil things, so he shouldn't protect Zhu Long?"
Li Ying was originally thinking about how to save Zhu Long without conflicting with Liangshan soldiers and horses, and escape unscathed.
Hearing that Chao Yong actually wanted him to hand over Zhu Long, he immediately felt confused: "Although Zhujiazhuang has done many evil things, I also have some friendship with Zhu Chaofeng. I guess this is the only flesh and blood left in the Zhu family. Can the little bully sell me a thin face?"
, let him live."
Chao Yong looked at Li Ying who looked embarrassed and said with a smile: "Since Master Li has spoken, how dare Chao Yong disobey him? It's just that Zhu Long has done many evil things, but he can't be let go. Otherwise, I heard that Zhu Long also has
Although Yizi has been a playboy since he was a child, but his crimes are not serious enough to lead to death, I will let him live. Zhu Long also asked Master Li to hand it over to me."
Although the three villages have an alliance, Zhujiazhuang is the only one, so Li Ying often suffers losses.
Li Ying originally did not really want to preserve the Zhu family bloodline, but was afraid that if he handed over Zhu Long to the Liangshan soldiers, he would be reported in the future and cause a lawsuit.
Hearing what Chao Yong said at this time, he immediately became speechless.
When everyone was staring at Li Ying to see how he would reply, Zhu Long suddenly hit his horse and ran away.
It turned out that Zhu Long saw that Li Ying had lost his fighting spirit and was afraid that he would be handed over. Seeing that everyone was unprepared, he did not care about Zhujiazhuang and planned to escape with his life first.
"Where to go."
Dong Ping was worried that he had not yet made any achievements after joining the army. When he saw Zhu Long suddenly running away, he roared and chased after him.
Dong Ping's horse was a war horse that he snatched from a Liao general when he was guarding the border in Hebei Province. Although it was not the best war horse in the Liao Kingdom, it was one of the best horses in the Song Dynasty.
Before Zhu Long could escape from everyone's sight, he was caught up by Dong Ping. After a few rounds of fighting, Dong Ping raised his gun and knocked him off his horse.
Li Ying just reacted to Zhu Long's fall and saw that Zhu Long had died an unexpected death. While sighing, he was also secretly glad that he no longer had to choose whether to hand over Zhu Long or not.
I just didn't expect Dong Ping's martial arts to be so strong. Zhu Long, who was slightly inferior to him, had no power to resist. I only hope that Liangshan's soldiers and horses are doing justice for heaven as they said, otherwise Lijiazhuang may also be doomed.
Little did he know that Dong Ping's marksmanship was fierce and Zhu Long was in shock, so he was quickly picked off the horse.
If Zhu Long could face the battle calmly, it would take dozens of rounds for Dong Ping to defeat him.
"Hey, now that the matter is over, Li Ying will take his leave."
Chao Yong looked at Li Ying who was bidding farewell, and suddenly smiled and said: "I have always heard that Master Li is very skilled in martial arts. Chao Yong boldly asks Master Li to go up the mountain with me and become a leader. How about that?"
Li Ying also thought that Chao Yong might make things difficult, but he never expected that Chao Yong would actually ask him to give up such a big business and go up the mountain to weed, and his face suddenly turned as pale as earth.
Liangshan's business is all about losing your head. Once you join the gang, it will be very difficult to get out. If you refuse, you will be afraid of a fight right in front of you, and your own village will be no match for Liangshan's soldiers and horses.
Seeing that Li Ying was in a dilemma, Luan Tingyu, who had just joined the gang, also stepped forward and said: "Master Li, don't think too much, the little overlord let you go. Today, Master Li, being Li Zheng, led his troops to fight with Liangshan's soldiers and horses.
They met each other but could not fight. I am afraid that if the news reaches the government, they will inevitably be involved. Liangshan has just captured Dongping Mansion. If there are not a few scapegoats for this major case, I am afraid that the new official will not be able to explain to the court. Does the owner of the village have to stay?
Can one person be sued alone?"
Nowadays, the world is full of corrupt officials, and Li Yingzhuang also has a lot of business. It is rare to deal with the government, so naturally you know their ability to knock bones and suck out marrow.
On weekdays, I have to extort money for nothing, but if I am not clear about something, I am afraid that my family will be ruined and I will have no place to reason.
What's more, a few days ago, Liangshan soldiers and horses broke into Dongping Mansion and plundered the treasury. It can be said to be a huge case. Liangshan Shuibo is so vast that it may not be possible to capture them in a year and a half. New officials have to cut down a few first when they take office.
There is some explanation in my head.
Unfortunately, the Liangshan soldiers and horses actually came to attack Zhujiazhuang. I impulsively came into contact with the Liangshan soldiers and horses. I was afraid that I would most likely become the scapegoat.
Chao Yong saw that Li Ying was deep in thought and was silent. He really couldn't do what Song Jiang did to force him to go up the mountain. He could only place his hope in the power of the current imperial court. He smiled and said: "If Master Li has not thought about it, he might as well go back to the village."
After careful consideration, the owner of the village gave me the answer in the evening, saying goodbye."
After saying that, he turned his horse and headed towards Zhujiazhuang.
Li Ying looked at Chao Yong's figure in confusion, clasped his fists and shouted: "Thank you, little overlord. This matter concerns the whole village, and I cannot tolerate being careless. Li Ying will definitely reply as soon as possible."
When Du Xing saw the Liangshan troops walking away, he said, "Guardian, what do these Liangshan troops mean? If they want to attack my Lijiazhuang, now is the best opportunity. If we go back to defend the village, they will die if they want to attack me."
More troops and horses."
Li Ying shook his head and said: "I heard earlier that King Tuota was generous with his wealth and was an upright and upright man. Maybe they are really just doing justice for heaven."
Leaving Li Ying full of doubts, Chao Yong didn't care about the soldiers and horses of Hujiazhuang on the side, and led the horse army straight into Zhujiazhuang.
