In the year of Dingyou, on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, there was a slight summer heat.
As the fire broke out in the Mangdang Mountain village, the fourth team led by Guo Sheng and Fan Rui also drove out of Mangdang Mountain.
Cao Cao, Luan Tingyu, and Li Kui all rode horses and walked with Guo Sheng and others. Not long after leaving the mountains and forests, they arrived at the fork.
From here, you have to go straight north to Yanggu County, but turn eastward from Yishui County. After passing Xuzhou, you will reach the territory of Yizhou. As for Yishui County, it is on the northeast corner of Yizhou, a distance of about 800 miles.
The three of them bid farewell to the brigade and traveled for a day. They met a village and found Baozheng in the village. They stayed overnight and left again the next day. They arrived in Pengcheng County in the afternoon.
Pengcheng County is the seat of Xuzhou County and is quite prosperous. When Luan Tingyu saw it, he avoided Li Kui and whispered to Cao Cao: "Brother, I wasted more than thirty years of my life, only thinking about beating my body and using spears and sticks, but now I can't even do it." Shi Xiu couldn’t fight either and felt very sad.”
Cao Cao looked at him sideways and said, "It doesn't hurt to speak directly if you have anything to say."
Luan Tingyu swallowed and smiled expectantly: "What I mean, little brother, is that this is the strategic point between the north and the south, and there must be Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion..."
Cao Cao glanced at Li Kui, who was riding a horse chasing butterflies, and whispered: "Tell Tieniu to drink a few more drinks. When he goes to sleep, you and I can go."
Luan Tingyu was overjoyed and called Li Kui loudly: "Tieniu, everyone knows that you are invincible. I will split wine with you tonight. I will drink one cup and you will drink five. Do you dare?"
Li Kui was also overjoyed and immediately clapped his chest and said, "I dare not be your son."
While the two of them were fighting and making noise, they had arrived at the city gate. On the wall beside the gate were posters offering rewards for drawings and figures. Many people were vying to look around. Cao Cao was moved and took a closer look. Among them, the first picture There is a general wearing a golden helmet, dragging a pagoda high in his hand. On the side are written the words "Chao Gai, the Heavenly King of Liangshan Pagoda", and clearly marked below. Anyone who catches this thief and delivers him to the government will be rewarded with a hundred thousand coins.
Cao Cao looked at it if he was interested, but the second one was "Liangshan Dwarf Tiger God King Wang Ying". Perhaps the scene of him jumping and slashing people was so impressive that he was regarded as the second most important person in Liangshan and was rewarded with 80,000 yuan. Through.
Cao Cao laughed when he saw it. The person in the painting was as round and fat as a Yuanxiao spirit, with some tiger spots painted on his body. It would be difficult to capture the person based on this picture even in ten thousand years.
Looking down a dozen more pictures, Liu Tang, Song Jiang and others are among them. The artist is obviously looking for creative inspiration from the nicknames. Each of the paintings is diverse. In the last picture, it is "Liangshan Black Whirlwind Li Kui". In the painting There are no people, only a large mass of black ink that looks like a human form and a tornado, which captures the essence of freehand brushwork.
Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing as he looked at the painting. He loved the painter's rich imagination.
Li Kui was illiterate. When he saw Cao Cao laughing, he laughed too. He pointed at the ink man and teased: "Brother, isn't this guy painting a goblin? How can there be such a black man in the world?"
Before he finished speaking, two men suddenly came out of the thorns. They tilted their heads and looked around. They smiled, stared at Li Kui, and pointed at the portrait: "Humph, you are the prisoner in the picture!"
Li Kui was furious, took a step forward, glared angrily and shouted: "What a fool! You see that my grandfather is a bit shady, so you want to frame him for blackmail. Don't you understand this method of extorting the blood and flesh of your loved ones?" "
Although he is a small prisoner in Jiangzhou, he is still within the system. These common methods of making money have never been seen or heard of a hundred and eighty times.
The official sneered: "What do you think you'll do if you don't understand? You're just a passerby from the accent. You have no roots and no support. Grandpa will crush you to death easier than crushing a bed bug."
He poked the big ball of ink on the paper again: "You are clearly exactly the same as the Liangshan evil thief Black Whirlwind Li Kui, why are you denying it!"
Li Kui opened his mouth in surprise, pointed at the group of ink figures, and said in disbelief: "Is this the painting of me?"
Cao Cao and Guan Cha nodded at the same time: "It's you!"
Cao Cao waved his hand: "There are all people from Liangshan here. Don't you see the pagoda king who holds the pagoda? He is rewarded with one hundred thousand guan for catching it. The second Wang Ying is rewarded with 80,000 guan."
Li Kui was shocked when he heard this, and muttered to himself: "Is my head worth tens of thousands of dollars?"
Cao Cao pointed to the amount of money on the painting and said: "Ten thousand guan is the price of the thief's head. If you catch you, there will be a reward of 50 guan."
Li Kui was furious after hearing this, and shouted like thunder: "I deserve to die for such a bird, just paint me as a goblin, how come the price is so much cheaper than Wang Dwarf's thief!" He reached out and removed the reward. , tore it into pieces, threw it all over the sky, and spread it all over the gentleman's face.
The gentleman's face turned green, and he said tremblingly: "You, you are really Liangshan, black, black..."
Li Kui roared: "Grandpa is Black Whirlwind Li Kui." He punched the man in the face, and he flew back a foot or two, knocking over seven or eight onlookers.
Another gentleman was so frightened that his feet were weak and he said with a smile: "You guys can't be joking, but Li Kui's two big axes are just signs. You didn't..."
Li Kui turned around and walked away, walked to the horse in a few steps, lifted up the large piece of cloth covering the saddle, revealing two large axes like wheels, and took them in his hands.
The man's liver and gallbladder were split, and he shouted in a hissing voice: "Mom! It's really a black whirlwind coming!" He turned around and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
With his voice, there was an explosion outside the city gate.
Hearing the words "The black whirlwind is coming", those who were waiting to become officials or those who were working in the yamen were either frightened out of their three souls or scared away their seven souls. Some of them could scream and run away. Run, cry if you can't scream, lie down if you can't run.
It was as chaotic as making a riot in heaven, and the air was still filled with stench. Some of them were so frightened that they even peeed out.
Many people were full of surprise. Who knows the story of Jiangzhou now? The heroes of Liangshan interrogated and killed corrupt officials and robbed the government treasury of money and food, but they did not touch a pin of the people's things, and even a lot of rice and food that could not be taken away were scattered.
How many people would not wish for such a good thing to happen to them? They all cheered for a while, and some people pointed at the city gate and jumped in excitement: "Then guys are going to close the city gate, hurry up, hurry up, hero!"
Li Kui looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, several gate soldiers were closing the door in a hurry. Seeing that he had no time to rush, Dantian became angry and shouted: "Hey! Even if your guy closes the Bird City Gate, I will chop it down." It has seventeen or eight bird holes.”
Unexpectedly, it was just a harsh word, but it scared the shit out of several soldiers. Who still remembered what a city gate was? They threw their swords and guns on the ground, looked at the city, and ran away, shouting: "This is amazing." , it’s a disaster, the black whirlwind from Liangshan enters the city.”
Many people in the city gate heard the shouting outside. Lian Tianzheng was curious and saw several gate soldiers running away without their lives. He shouted that Liangshan Black Whirlwind was entering the city, and he immediately shouted with joy: "The heroes of Liangshan have come to my Pengcheng, and all the heroes of Liangshan have arrived in Pengcheng."
Li Kui looked at the half-open city gate and was stunned for a moment. In this situation, should he enter or not?
Looking back at Cao Cao, Cao Cao and Luan Tingyu looked at each other, a little stunned.
I was watching Li Kui's mischief, but within a few moments, he captured the city. Should I enter or not?
If you go in, you will have no soldiers and horses, and you will have to be alone with three brothers. If you don't go in, the people inside and outside will shout together and watch eagerly.
"Haha, ridiculous, too ridiculous!" Cao Cao laughed and scolded twice, turning his head and saying with pride: "Teacher Luan, you see that the whole city is calling the name of Liangshan a hero. If he leaves now, won't it damage Liangshan's reputation?" It's against the rules of my friends, and it's not what I want."
Luan Tingyu looked at Cao Cao's eager face and asked in surprise: "Brother, are you serious?"
He said no, but his eyes were already faintly excited. After all, who doesn't have an uneasy heart?
"Just tell me if you dare!" Cao Cao provoked him.
Luan Tingyu no longer had any worries and laughed loudly: "My elder brother dares to take risks even though he has a rich body. I will naturally sacrifice my life to accompany a gentleman!"
He is good at martial arts, but his character is calm and steady. Now that he has been hanging out with Cao Cao and the others for a long time, he can't help but want to be arrogant. It was as if an honest man who had been at ease for half his life felt the same anticipation and excitement when his friends dragged him to repair a big sword.
"Okay!" Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Tieniu, Tingyu, today we are going to perform a scene of three knights conquering Xuzhou! I won't speak later, so don't speak lightly, just look at my eyes and act."
At that moment, the three of them packed up their gear and got on their horses in high spirits. Cao Cao was in the middle, Luan Tingyu and Li Kui were arranged on the left and right. The three horses stood side by side and entered from the west gate of Pengcheng.
"Ah! How come there are only three people?" "No way? Is the army behind you?" "Quickly inform Master Zhizhou, there are only three strong men."
Amidst the commotion and discussion, Cao Cao raised his fists at the people watching: "You don't have to worry about me and others being few. I, Liangshan Shuntian, should judge the dog officials by the people. There are many ways to have more people, and there are ways to have fewer people! Cai, whose surname is Song and whose name is Jiang, sits in the second position in Liangshanbo. If you have any grievances, you can complain!"
There are different religions: Dwarf Tiger has a bounty of 80,000 coins, and Iron Ox has a bounty of 50,000 coins. For a moment, the heroic man was angered, and three horses roamed the busy city.
