But it is said that there are banquets every day in Liangshan, and this day it is Hua Rong's turn to hold a banquet.
If someone else held a banquet, it would only consist of cattle, sheep, pigs, fish, vegetables, and fruits. Because Hua Rong had the skill of a magic arrow and refused to follow the customs, he took more than ten men with him, went out the night in advance, and shot four or five wild geese. Twenty or thirty pheasants, more than thirty hares, and the rarest of all, there was a huge wild boar, nearly a person tall and weighing more than 800 kilograms. The gangster cut down two big trees to make poles, and then put them in. When he was carried back to the mountain, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole village.
Cao Cao followed the others to watch the excitement, and when he saw the giant pig, he couldn't help being shocked. He knew that even bears and tigers would not dare to provoke such a pig king in the mountains, but unexpectedly he was shot by Hua Rong.
Ruan Xiaoqi excitedly pulled out his sword and made several slashes. The wild boar was covered in rosin gum and was covered in hard mud, as if it was covered with armor. Ruan Xiaoqi tried his best to chop it, but it could only be broken. Everyone couldn't help but cheered: "What a great arrow general. He can hunt such a pig king."
However, the pig had no injuries on its body, except for a sharp arrow in its eye, which missed its feathers. Peng Qi's heart felt cold when he saw it: He had been shot in the shoulder by Hua Rong before, and he was somewhat dissatisfied. Only now did he realize that they were showing mercy.
When Song Jiang saw that Hua Rong had won the big prize, he was even happier than if he had shown his face. He was all smiles, jumped on his feet and cheered, and then said: "If it weren't for Hua Xiandi's earth-shattering archery skills, how would he have hunted this pig king?" ? In Song’s humble opinion, we first defeated the imperial army and then obtained this Pig King. This is a sign of the great prosperity of the village. Today’s banquet should be called the Pig King Banquet!”
Cao Cao laughed after hearing this and said: "Brother Gongming is so talented! This Pig King's Banquet is also the King's Execution Banquet! Nowadays, the court is unruly and those princes and generals only care about their own wealth and happiness. Who cares about the world? If we can do this in the future Wouldn't it be happy to kill people to their heart's content and restore a peaceful world to the world?"
Song Gongming was shocked and thought: Why do I mean this? When he was about to defend himself, all the heroes had already applauded and shouted happily, but he could only smile silently and bitterly.
Ruan Xiaoqi clapped her chest and shouted: "If you eat the Pig King, you will kill the King. Hahaha, if you accomplish such a thing, I will live up to my mother-in-law's responsibility!" Then he loudly called the people in the kitchen to come over. Using a big saw and a big ax, he chopped the pig king into pieces, smeared it carefully with fat and honey, roasted it and ate it separately, even the minions screamed.
Because of the presence of the Pig King, the drinking was particularly lively on this day. Everyone boasted to each other, first about Huarong's archery skills, and then about defeating Hu Yanzhuo. Someone laughed and said: "That guy Hu Yanzhuo never came back. Could it be that he can’t borrow troops?”
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Cao Cao was moved in his heart and stood up and said: "This man fled to the east, either to Qingzhou or to Dengzhou. King of Heaven, don't wait for his troops to arrive before we fight. Why not send one or two My capable brother, go to Qingdeng and other prefectures to do some research so that you can be prepared in advance."
Chao Gai was drunk at this time, and he didn't know if he heard clearly, so he nodded and said: "What Brother Wu said must be true. Brother Wu, you can give the orders."
Cao Cao thought for a moment, looked at everyone, and said, "It's a pity that Shi Xiu was drunk first. Brother Fan Rui, you and Dean Dai are both righteous people. How about you two getting away?"
Dai Zong was overjoyed when he heard this. He stood up and said, "Brother, I have not made any achievements since I came to Liangshan. This time I go out to find out the accurate information."
When Fan Rui saw Cao Cao looking at him deeply, he immediately understood. He nodded slightly, stood up and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Dean Dai is very good at magic. It is a blessing for me to experience it now."
Dai Zong said with a smile: "My method has a shortcoming. If you want to do it, you won't be able to eat meat and wine. But you can't walk today, so you have to set off tomorrow."
Fan Rui said: "It's all up to Dean Dai to make the decision."
The next day, they got up, each had a bowl of plain rice, brought some cooking cakes and pickles, put herbal tea in large bamboo tubes, said goodbye to everyone, and left Liangshan by boat.
When they got ashore, Dai Zong took out four armored horses and tied them to his own and Fan Rui's legs respectively. He secretly recited the mantra and used the magic method. The two raised their legs and walked, with the wind and clouds rushing under their feet, as if someone was pushing them below. As if standing still, the trees on both sides fell behind me in rows, and the wind whistled in my ears.
Fan Rui couldn't help but feel moved, thinking to himself that such a technique could never be used more to spy on intelligence or notify military aircraft. No wonder my brother was greedy.
He turned around and smiled: "Dean, what a profound Taoist skill!"
Dai Zong has been in Liangshan since he moved to prison to rescue him from Jiangzhou. When Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others returned to the mountain, they all praised Cao Cao's ability when talking about everything in Jiangzhou. Dai Zong was both in the game and Outside the office, I can see some extra ways.
However, he did not tell anyone these conjectures, but kept them silently in his heart, which made Cao Cao even more in awe.
Therefore, seeing Fan Rui praising his Taoism, Dai Zong also had a good relationship and said with a smile: "Brother Fan is a fellow Taoist, so we can talk about it. Dai also studied Taoism in Taishan when he was young, but unfortunately his worldly mind was not pure and it was difficult to achieve Taoism. Master said to me The worldly relationship was not over, so he kicked me out, and he was afraid that I would not be able to starve to death, so he passed on this technique. To be honest, this technique is not unusual, but it is based on the power of the Yin soldiers. If brothers are interested, go to the Dongyue Emperor Temple in Mount Tai Please ask Cui Fujun to worship the statue day and night, and you can use this technique in three years."
Fan Rui didn't expect that he would be so willing to give up. He didn't know that Dai Zong intended to accept him, but he only knew that Dai Zong was heroic, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit sad, and he also brought out many of his cultivation experiences to discuss with him.
The two talked about Taoism and hurried on, full of interest. By evening, they had arrived in Qingzhou. Dai Zong stopped his magic, took off his armor and horse, and took out a few pieces of paper money from his bag to burn.
Since Fan Rui knew about his method, he was not surprised when he saw this. He knew that it was burned to the Yin soldiers, and he thought that this was really money that could make a fool of himself.
The two found an inn to stay and had two vegetarian meals. Dai Zong called the waiter, gave him a few hundred coins, and asked him: "Brother, we are fortune tellers who read Feng Shui. We have traveled here." , I would like to ask if there is anything new here."
The waiter picked up the money and said with a smile: "Since your guest is a fortune teller, how come you don't see the spirit of swordsmanship? Under the rule of Qingzhou, there have always been two strong thieves in Taohuashan and Erlongshan. Now the magistrate has gained a new general, so he He led the army to conquer, and yesterday I saw the army marching towards Peach Blossom Mountain."
The two of them looked at each other and were both overjoyed, thinking that it took no effort at all. Hu Yanzhuo actually suppressed another bandit here.
After resting for a night, Dai Zong started to practice the magic method the next day. The two of them rushed to Peach Blossom Mountain at a speed, found a hill and climbed up, hiding their bodies, and watched Hu Yanzhuo cursing at the foot of the mountain. There was no sound on the mountain.
Hu Yanzhuo cursed for a while and then led people to attack. However, the mountain was steep and large and small rocks were rolling down. Who among the officers and soldiers dared to step forward?
It was a stalemate for several days in a row.
Dai Zong and Fan Rui went out early in the morning and came back late to watch the attack on the mountain. They were interested at first, but after watching it for a few days, they couldn't help but feel bored. On the fifth day, they discussed: "We will observe for another day today. If there is no change, we will go back to Liangshan to report." .”
Hu Yanzhuo came out and scolded the formation as usual. Fan Rui yawned. According to the rules, he had to scold for half an hour, then attack the mountain and retreat. The process was roughly like this.
Unexpectedly, something strange happened today. After Hu Yanzhuo had just said a few curses, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed down from the mountain. At the head of it was a general. He was a strong man with a pointed head and a bony face. He was holding a long spear and shouted: "You are such a rogue, I don't want to deal with you." You, you are so proud, do you recognize my ‘tiger general’ Li Zhong?”
It turned out that the men Li Zhong sent earlier to ask for help climbed up the back mountain again today and informed Erlongshan that the two big bosses had brought 500 infantry troops and 500 to 60 horse troops to help, so they hurriedly ordered 300 people to go down the mountain to respond.
Hu Yanzhuo was overjoyed when he saw it. He was afraid that the other party would run away and rushed towards him with a whip. Li Zhong braced himself, raised his gun to meet him, fought desperately for a few times, and when he was no longer able to defeat him, he put away his weapon and left. Hu Yanzhuo chased after him. After catching up, unexpectedly, the little overlord Zhou Tong had prepared countless pebbles on the mountainside, and at this moment, they were thrown like hail. Hu Yanzhuo was so angry that he had to go down the mountain.
When he was angry, he heard the officers and soldiers in the rear formation shouting, and they couldn't help but said angrily: "Who dares to scream in the army formation?" The sergeants in the rear army all said, "A large army of horses is galloping over there."
Hu Yanzhuo hurried to take a look, and sure enough, a dust mist rolled up, and a fat monk, riding a white horse, rushed straight towards here, his broad robe and big sleeves dancing in the wind, his momentum was extraordinary.
Hu Yanzhuo was overjoyed when he saw it and said: "Needless to say, they must be the reinforcements invited by the thieves from Taohua Mountain! These green forest thieves are all of low ability, but their majesty and posture are not small. The little overlord from before almost bluffed me. Is this fat monk still trying to do his old tricks today? Wait for someone to smash his bald gourd with a whip!"
There are different teachings: it is ridiculous that Li Zhong is called a tiger, Zhou Tong is in vain to have the form of an overlord, a double-whip general who is arrogant, and a monk who breaks the precepts with the strength of thousands of troops!
