Jiankang Mansion, in the hotel. Qinbei Pavilion
"Brother, Wang Dingliu hasn't come back yet, will something happen?"
Zhang Shun looked at Sun Lei and asked. They didn't see Wang Dingliu come back until noon, which made Zhang Shun a little uneasy.
"Don't be impatient. Something happened in Jiankang Mansion. The search must be strict now. Maybe we were delayed by something. It's normal to be a little later."
Sun Lei shook his head. Wang Dingliu had no contact with them. He was a local, so there was no reason for anything to happen.
"Store, do you have food?"
A man walked into the hotel and said hello.
"This guest, please have some delicacies, wine and meat."
Wang Laozhang walked out from behind the counter with a smile and said that he wanted to close the store, but Sun Lei said that closing the store rashly would be more likely to cause suspicion, so he lowered the wine flag and looked like he was about to close the store.
"Just serve some meat and wine! I'll have to go on my way after eating!"
The man took down a bunch of copper coins and said.
At this time, Sun Lei and others were also drinking and waiting in the hotel. When they saw someone coming in, they took a few more glances. This man was burly, carrying a whistle stick, and carrying a small baggage.
Mr. Wang quickly served the food and wine.
"Black man, what do you think I'm doing?"
The new man took two sips and drank a drink, then looked at Li Kui and asked. From the moment he entered the store, Li Kui had been staring at him with murderous intent in his eyes, but he didn't know Li Kui.
"You didn't look at me, how could you know I was looking at you!"
Li Kui's mouth was unforgiving and he still stared at the man.
"Are you a black man looking for a beating?"
The man became angry when he heard Li Kui's provocative words, and looked at Li Kui unkindly with his whistle stick.
"Brother, this guy is a spy, I will chop him up right now!"
Li Kui picked up a pair of axes, pointed at the man and said to Sun Lei. He directly believed that this man was a government spy.
"sit down!"
Sun Lei slapped the table and scolded, and Li Kui immediately became honest after hearing this.
"This brother, I was so offended just now."
Sun Lei smiled and clasped his fists at the man and said, Li Kui is just a troublemaker. I didn't want him to come to the front hall, but this guy is not honest even in the back hall, so he can only keep him by his side and watch.
When the man saw Sun Lei speaking, he stopped arguing with Li Kui and sat down to continue eating.
"Tieniu, if you don't behave honestly, can we go to the back to practice?"
Seeing that Li Kui was still unconvinced, Wu Song went to get the axe, put one hand on it, looked at Li Kui and smiled.
"Who wants to practice with you? I drink!"
How could Li Kui dare to spar with Wu Song? He held the wine bowl and started drinking.
"Brother, I'm back!"
Wang Dingliu hurriedly entered the hotel.
"Shi Xiu, why are you here?"
Wang Dingliu took a look inside the store and realized that besides Sun Lei and others, Shi Xiu was eating alone.
"I'm going to the north with my uncle to sell some sheep and horses. My uncle and his companions will go ahead. I'll leave today after I finish."
Shi Xiu looked at Wang Dingliu and said.
"Go to the north and sell sheep and horses!"
Wang Dingliu nodded. The rich people in the Song Dynasty liked to eat mutton. They thought it was delicious and nutritious and regarded it as top quality. They flocked to it. However, there was not enough cultivated land in various places. Even if there was open space, they had to raise horses for the court. There was no land to raise sheep. The price of mutton was very low. The price is still high, so many people are thinking about sheep from the Liao Kingdom and Xixia in the north. A sheep there may not be worth as much as a piece of cloth, but after being sold, it can be exchanged for several pieces of cloth.
"Have a nice trip!"
When Wang Dingliu saw Sun Lei and others, he didn't exchange any more greetings with Shi Xiu, and went to the back hall with fists in his hands.
Sun Lei nodded and led people into the back hall, but Wu Song was not in a hurry. He took a small jar of wine to the door and found a chair to sit down and drink.
"Brother, Dr. An is really a tough guy..."
Wang Dingliu talked about the news he found in Jiankang Mansion. After An Daoquan was betrayed by Li Qiaonu, he was tortured without saying a word.
"That bitch!"
Zhang Shun heard what happened to An Daoquan and was so angry that he punched the pillar with his fist.
"I didn't expect Dr. An to be so loyal!"
Sun Lei sighed, he only knew that An Daoquan had great medical skills, but he didn't expect him to be so loyal.
"Brother, the Sa family will go to the city to rescue Dr. An tonight!"
Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei and said, he admires the loyal heroes the most. An Dao was able to withstand the torture without confessing to them. He was already a complete hero. How could he not save him?
"Let's go together tonight, and we'll leave after we save people!"
Sun Lei nodded and said, how can An Daoquan be so loyal and unresponsive?
"Thank you two brothers!"
Zhang Shun knelt down and said gratefully to Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen.
"I'll do whatever it takes to save a hero!"
Lu Zhishen helped Zhang Shundao up.
"Brother, I'm going too!"
Pang Wanchun and Wang Dingliu also spoke.
"You can't go. If you all go, what will happen to Mr. Wang and Taigong Pang in the backyard?"
Sun Lei pointed at Mr. Wang and Taigong Pang. Two old men, one of whom was still sick, how could they be separated from others?
"Wang Dingliu, I think you are also a loyal man. Now that you have taken the risk for us, it may not be good to stay in Jiankang Mansion. Why don't you go back to Liangshan with us?"
Sun Lei looked at Wang Dingliu and said, although the matter of Wang Dingliu and his gang is currently very hidden, there is no airtight wall in the world. Once someone discovers it, it will be a death penalty.
"Thank you brother, I am willing to follow you to Liangshan!"
Wang Dingliu knelt down and kowtowed excitedly to Sun Lei and others. It was really pointless for him to guard the village shop, and he had to be exploited by corrupt officials. It was better to go to Liangshan together and live happily.
"What are Zhang Shun's plans after rescuing Dr. An?"
Sun Lei looked at Zhang Shun and asked, An Daoquan will definitely go to Liangshan if he gets into a lawsuit now, but he doesn't know what Zhang Shun thinks.
"My younger brother is also willing to follow my elder brother!"
Zhang Shun originally envied Wang Dingliu, but when Sun Lei asked, he spoke without hesitation.
"Okay, let's do it tonight. Master Lu, Wu Erlang, and Zhang Shun will go to the city to rescue people. Pang Wanchun, Li Kui, Pang Qiuxia, and Wang Dingliu will take Wang Laozhang and Pang Taigong to wait by the river first."
Sun Lei looked at everyone and said.
"Brother is biased, how can he save someone without taking me with him? He lets me look at the old, weak, women and children all day long, and I'm not a nanny!"
Li Kui quit, and he also wanted to go to the city to save people.
"Why are you doing such a confidential thing?"
Sun Lei looked at Li Kui and asked.
"Brother, I just don't say anything!"
Li Kui answered immediately.
"I'm afraid you won't listen to me when the time comes."
Sun Lei pointed at the pair of axes in Li Kui's hands. Li Kui was not a man who could bear his temper. To put it nicely now, when his temper got high, he was really a tough guy who couldn't get enough oil and salt.
"Brother, I told you to be obedient!"
Li Kui seemed to know his problem. Although he still wanted to go, his voice was somewhat unconfident.
"Wait until you are really obedient. Please be more honest. Otherwise, I will put a nose ring on you next time and tie it to the mountain with a rope to prevent you from coming down."
Sun Lei said to Li Kui with a straight face, at this time, we can no longer let Li Kui act recklessly, everyone's safety is at risk tonight.
"You black guy, don't cause trouble!"
Pang Qiuxia looked at Li Kui politely with her hands on her hips. Everyone was thinking of ways to save people, but Li Kui was the only one who was ignorant and always thought of doing random things.
"Where did I make trouble? I listen to my brother the most!"
Li Kui shouted a few words and then stopped talking.
