If you want to rob the law field, your retreat will naturally be arranged in advance.

Sanshan Street goes straight south and is very close to the south gate of Jinling Prefecture. Nowadays, many people in the city are attracted to the northwest by the fire in Qingliang Mountain. Wenren Shizong attracted everyone and rushed out of the city through the south gate without any effort.

Just out of the city is the Qinhuai River. We have already prepared a fast boat that can reach the Yangtze River. When the river flows eastward, who can catch up and stop it?

It's just that these heroes are loyal people. Now that Shi Jin has fallen into the enemy's hands, should he be abandoned?

So they got on the boat and walked not far, everyone got off the boat again. They all changed their navy uniforms and armor, and when they heard that Renshi Chong went to hide in his mansion.

Only Yang Chun was left on the boat, and he still headed to Zhenjiang Mansion by water to try to move reinforcements.

When Hu Jing and Hu Xian were in chaos, they dispersed and fled as planned. At this time, they also returned to the Marquis Mansion. They heard that the two of them were entertaining everyone, so they changed their armor and robes and led two hundred personal guards. Go to Miyagi City to "escort" and inquire about Shi Jin's whereabouts.

At this time, there was a big chaos in the palace. The old officials heard that the soldiers of King Lu Qin had rebelled and wanted to "clear the emperor's side", which frightened his soul. Fortunately, Tong Guanxiang was with him. He dealt with the situation and ordered the palace to be closed first. He then sent General Zhang Suo back to the defense and sent people to various military camps to inquire about details.

Not long after, reports came one after another from the outside: King Qin's soldiers and horses from all walks of life were stationed in their respective camps and had not moved. The rebels in the city had disappeared. Only half of the forest in Qingliang Mountain was burned, but Zhao Huan and others were not lost.

After hearing this, the old official calmed down for a moment. At this time, Fu Miao rushed back in panic and reported that the execution ground had been robbed. Tong Guan was furious and asserted: "Your Majesty, this is a plan to attack the east and attack the west! It must be a bluff by the remnants of the Ming Cult. , making such a commotion."

Then Kui Xiangyang flew in and reported that he had captured the leader of the thief, "Nine Patterns Dragon".

The old official was filled with anger and immediately found an outlet: "These thieves are so abominable, and they tortured their leader carefully to reveal the hiding place of his remnants. The Imperial City Division, in cooperation with Tong Shuai, will definitely catch them all." Only by chopping them up carefully can I resolve this hatred."

After that, he scolded Fu Miao for being useless: "Tong Shuai always praises you for your martial arts skills in front of me, but it's useless. You just eat up a few thieves and leave."

Fu Miao was frightened and quickly threw the blame: "Your Majesty, you know what happened! The demon sect came out from all directions at that time. They killed General Liu first, and all the ministers fought hard and managed to block it. Unexpectedly, Marshal Zhang's son Zhang Xian was brutally killed by the traitor." They knocked him unconscious, and I rescued him, and then the thieves ran away."

When the old official heard this, he immediately frowned: "Knock him out? These demon sect rebels are extremely cruel, killing officers, soldiers, and police officers. How could they show mercy? Why did they only knock him out and not kill him?"

After hearing this, Tong Guan was secretly happy.

He was defeated in Hebei and lost his holy family. Zhao Ji believed that he was incompetent in leading troops, so the important post of Grand Marshal of Jinling was handed over to the veteran Zhang Suo. Tong Guan had long wanted to compete for this important position. He had captured Zhang Jue and Li Ying the previous time and bragged about his achievements in Yuguan just to show that he could actually fight. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he not take advantage of it?

He immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zhang Suo's nature, I know very well that although his general talents are limited, he is really a loyal and good general! I guess that these leaders of the Demon Sect all claim to be powerful people in the world. The reason why the robbery was successful was because Zhang Suo temporarily returned to defend the palace gate and brought back all the soldiers and horses. This gave them the opportunity. Therefore, they did not kill the little Zhang Xian, which was just wishful thinking. Repay kindness with kindness."

When the old official heard this, he immediately forgot to hurriedly mobilize Zhang Suo to return reinforcements. He was so frightened that he looked like chaff. He frowned and said unhappily: "Humph, this Zhang Suo is also a veteran general. How can he care about one thing and lose another? Although he is returning reinforcements. As ordered, but if he really knows the army, he only needs to leave 500 or 1,000 troops to guard the execution ground, and he will not let the enemy succeed so easily."

He lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Well, as the saying goes, one can tell the world's autumn when a leaf falls. When I think about it carefully, Zhang Suo can't even do such a small thing well, how can he be entrusted with the overall situation? He, the Generalissimo of Jinling, The title should be held by Tong Lao Aiqing personally, so that I can rest assured."

Tong Guan's heart was filled with joy, but his head was shaking: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this move! The veteran is old and has limited energy. When Commander Kui is tortured about the situation of the demon sect, the veteran will definitely conquer it himself. How can Yixin do it? Second use? Miao Fu, on the other hand, is loyal and dares to fight. If he is not allowed to be the defense envoy of Jinling Prefecture and takes charge of the defense of the city, as for Zhang Suo, there is no need to remove him from the rank of commander. He can be allowed to lead troops to garrison Yangzhou and Luzhou. Other places think that the Jinling Barrier is not the best of both worlds?”

When the old official heard this, he clicked his tongue for a moment, and couldn't help but nodded and smiled: "Old dear, you are worthy of being my pillar, and you have a mature strategy for the country. I think these many soldiers and horses of the King of Qin are stationed inside and outside Jinling, and they have been idle for a long time. The army The general will inevitably be slack and will inevitably cause trouble and disturb the people. It is just a sign of my love for the people to let Zhang Suo lead him across the river."

Tong Guan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is so kind, which is really a blessing to the people!"

The king and his ministers looked at each other and laughed.

Miao Fu watched from the side and felt admiration in his heart. He knew that this was Tong Guan's brilliance: the old eunuch knew everything about the emperor's thoughts.

You must know that after the old official abdicated and fled south, he felt regretful, and then he had the desire to restore the throne, so he became suspicious.

Although Wang Qin's army along the way had done nothing today, it was not appropriate to report their names to the commotion in Qingliang Mountain. Although Zhao Ji knew that it had nothing to do with them, a suspicion was planted in his heart. Tong Guan looked at this. You must understand, so he proposed a plan to mobilize troops to the north bank of the Yangtze River, just in time for Zhao Ji to take the opportunity to relieve his knot.

Soon, the imperial decree came out. Zhang Suo was surprised, but he did not dare to say anything. He then ordered all the soldiers and horses to cross the Yangtze River north and set up defense lines in the Lu and Yang areas.

On the other side, Kui Xiangyang tortured Shi Jin day by day, thinking that under three trees, what could he ask for? Unexpectedly, "Jiu Wenlong"'s bones were harder than Kung Fu. He was tortured in every possible way and refused to confess a single word.

Hearing that Shichong had already found out where Shi Jin was being held, he visited the place several times at night, but the Imperial City Division was heavily guarded and returned without success.

He was also afraid that Shi Jin would not be able to survive the torture and would recruit him, so he did not dare to hide people in the Hou Mansion, and arranged another place for several people to hide.

However, for several days, no one came to the Hou Mansion to inquire and search, because they knew that Shi Jin must have never confessed. While everyone admired him, thinking of his suffering, their hearts grew more anxious.

But none of them knew that if the original time and space were to go by, among the one hundred and eight heroes on Liangshan, Shi Dalang would be the number one in terms of toughness of bones.

Here are a few words:

In the original time and space, many of the brothers in Liangshan had been sued. Although they were all good men, it was really rare for them to be able to withstand severe punishment. For example -

Wu Erlang: "The jailer picked up a batch of bamboo splinters and beat them down like raindrops. Wu Songqing knew that he was not talking about anything, so he had to give in."

Xiaoyi Kurosaburo: "Hit him fifty times in a row, until one Buddha of Songjiang was born, and two Buddhas passed into nirvana. His skin and flesh were torn, and his blood was dripping. Songjiang also talked nonsense at the beginning, but he couldn't bear the torture after that, so he had to confess."

Chai Daguan: "Everyone beat Chai Jin until his skin and flesh were torn, and blood flowed out. We had no choice but to order the village guest Li Da to beat Yin Tianxi to death."

Mr. Lu said: "The gentlemen tied Lu Junyi to the ground. He couldn't help but beat him until his skin was torn and his flesh was bleeding. He fainted three or four times. Lu Junyi couldn't survive the beating. He looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am destined to die unexpectedly. I am destined to die today." Just give in."

Dean Dai: "The beating was so severe that the skin and flesh were torn, and blood flowed out. Dai Zong couldn't stand the torture, so he had to say: The letter he held was a fake."

Tieniu: "Everyone had no choice but to take Li Kui over and beat him until one Buddha was born and two Buddhas reached Nirvana. Magistrate Ma shouted: You're about to recruit a demon, so I won't beat you! Li Kui has no choice but to recruit 'Monster Li Er'."

Lu Zhishen: "The prefect yelled and scolded:...let's hit that bald donkey with all your strength! Lu Zhishen shouted: Don't hurt the master! I tell you, I am Lu Zhishen, the heroic monk in Liangshanbo. It doesn't matter if I die, Sa's brother Song Gongming learned that when he came down from the mountain, you had your donkey's head chopped off as soon as possible! After hearing this, Governor He was furious and tortured Lu Zhishen..."

And "Nine-Patterned Dragon" Shi Jin was the only one who could withstand it from beginning to end. He was beaten with two hundred sticks without saying a word, and he was a strong man!

"Dong Ping then said: How can you recruit such a thief if you don't beat him! Cheng Taishou shouted: "Please help me beat this guy harder!" He also sprayed cold water and hit each leg with a hundred sticks. Shi Jin was tortured by him. Don’t tell the truth.”

Just to mention this, if we talk about the second toughest guy in Liangshan, it is none other than "Day Rat" Bai Sheng.

"When I asked him about his intentions, Bai Sheng denied it and refused to recruit Chao Baozheng and seven others. He was beaten three or four times in a row, and the skin and flesh were torn and blood burst out. Fu Yin shouted: The real master of the accusation has recruited stolen goods and is arresting people. We already know that it is Chao Baozheng from Dongxi Village, Yuncheng County, how can we rely on you! Just tell me who those six people are, and I won't beat you. Bai Sheng took another break, but couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to fight. : The leader is Chao Baozheng."

This went on until the fifth day, when "Female Gongjin" Yu Wupo was the first to be unable to bear it.

It was the third watch of the night, and she was alone, dressed in black, carrying a gun, and was about to go out quietly. She happened to meet Wu Shangzhi who got up and went to the hut at night, and bumped into her in the yard. She was startled and said: "Miss Yu, you Where to go?"

Yu Wupo gritted her teeth and said, "I feel depressed. Let's go out for a walk to relax."

Wu Shangzhi shook his head and said: "How can you bring a spear to relax? Are you going to save Shi Dalang?"

All the heroes had been sleeping cautiously these days. The two of them said a few words, which immediately woke everyone up and went out to see him. .

But under the moonlight, two lines of tears fell from Yu Wupo's eyes: "I am not afraid of my brothers' jokes. When I was young, I once married a husband-in-law, but unfortunately he was killed by the government. In the past year, I have been getting along with Shi Dalang. Although he has never said it clearly, I know that he is interested in me, and I admire his generosity and chivalry in my heart. Although we have no matchmaker or retainer, in the heart of the fifth wife, I already regard myself as his person... Now he has been arrested I have been away for a few days and I don’t know whether I will live or die. I really can’t bear it any longer. Even if I die today, I can only die with him.”

Yu Wupo doesn't talk much on weekdays. Unless she talks about business, she is always reticent and gentle.

At this moment, it is rare to have a long speech and say something deeply and deeply. Who among the men present is not moved?

Yu Hualong was the first to shout: "In that case, my brother and sister should also go together. If you really marry Shi Dalang, he will be my brother-in-law."

Chen Dadao: "Shi Dalang is my life-and-death friend. If the fifth wife and one woman are like this, what is Chen's life worth?"

Without saying a word, Yan Chengfang went back to his room, took out two hammers, and shouted: "Go, go, all, what's the matter of 'taking the long term'? Brother Shi can beat a drum with his bones, and we will kill that man today." Imperial City Division, we can’t save anyone, we all died together, it’s not a waste of time to meet each other.”

Zhang Jue and Li Ying looked at each other, and both smiled and said: "It was you and others who saved my two lives. These days, I think of Shi Dalang, who was captured and suffered because of us, and every moment is torture. If you want to go, we must go together." Go and die happily."

After all, Wu Shangzhi was mature, and he frowned and said, "But when I go here, I have to let Brother Wen know."

Li Ying shook his head and said: "It should be so. It's just that the 'Dragon King of Hanshui' is also a person who is bearish on life and death. If he sees that we are determined to go, the three of them will definitely go with us. It's just that it doesn't matter if we are trapped. The three of them are now in the position." Although he has high authority, he will be useful to Brother Wu’s great cause in the future, so why involve him?”

Wu Shangzhi sighed: "That's right! In that case, let's just make a big fuss..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone outside sneer: "If you don't call me for something like this, you really think I'm not your brother!"

Yu Hualong was shocked: "Brother Wenren? Why are you here now?"

He hurriedly opened the door and saw that Ren Shichong was dressed in black and stepped in: "I was looking for you to save Shi Jin tonight, but unexpectedly you tried to throw me away!"

Yu Wupo was surprised: "Why do you want to do this suddenly?"

Wen Renshichong laughed and walked into the courtyard, but a towering figure like a mountain followed behind him and said boldly: "Of course it's because Sajia has arrived!"

Yu Wupo, Yu Hualong, and Chen Da exclaimed in unison, with joy on their faces: "Brother Zhishen!"

The man who came in had a bald head and a curly beard, and his gray monk's clothes were open, revealing a piece of flower embroidery on his chest and abdomen. He was carrying a thick and long water-milled Zen staff. He was not the "Flower Monk" Lu Zhishen, who was he?

Behind him, several more people came in one after another, and each time they smiled and said: "You only have senior brother Lu in your eyes, don't you see Sajia?"

The five wives of Yu took a closer look and saw a big man with a golden sword in his hand and a green birthmark on his face. They suddenly became more and more happy and shouted in unison: "Brother Yang Zhi!"

The few people were really happy at this moment, and they quickly looked behind: "Second brother, seventh brother, Ma family brother!"

The last three are Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Ma Ling.

At this time, Yang Chun walked in happily and said with a smile: "Do you know these two brothers?"

Immediately after the two of them walked in, the first one was thin and small. Yu Wupo and others did not recognize him, but Chen Da laughed: "Brother Shi Qian! Why are you here too? Who is this eldest brother?"

The visitor was none other than "Flea on the Drum" Shi Qian. He raised his hand and pointed: "This one, even Big Brother Wu, calls him brother. He is the famous general of the Western Army, Liu Yanqing, Old General Liu, who is known in the world as the 'Shenjian of Suiyu'." !”

Chen Da smiled and said: "How come the two brothers came to Jiangnan if they are not with Brother Wu to help?"

Shi Qian said: "It's a long story! Originally, we followed Brother Wu to fight. We first attacked Bianliang City and then Yingtian Mansion. We were about to go north to wipe out the Kingdom of Jin when Ma Ling suddenly came. Tong Guan returned from a mission and wanted to cut off the land north of the Yangtze River from the Jin people. There was a man named Huang Shang who did not want to see Zhao Ji betraying his country, so he escaped at the risk of death. He found the "Shenggong" to report the news, and then sent Ma Ling to come. I informed the army before the army. My brother sent me and General Liu to Jinling Mansion to find the young emperor Zhao Huan, and asked him to write an edict in the name of Emperor Song to give way to my brother, and to take over his kingdom. The two of us will come When I get to Jinling, I will naturally look for a place to stay at Brother Wenren’s house. I don’t want to meet you at the right time and want to rescue Shi Dalang.”

Ma Ling said: "Brother Wu also asked me to go back to the south of the Yangtze River and tell the Holy Duke to prepare for a big move. As soon as I came, I met Yang Chun who rushed over and told me about Shi Dalang. Now the Holy Duke has dispatched soldiers and horses everywhere. , I will come to Jinling with Senior Brother Lu and others first to seek information from Brother Ren and discuss it."

Wen Renshichong said with a smile: "I was worried that our manpower was limited and we would not be able to break into the Imperial City Division. Unexpectedly, the brothers from the north and the south came together tonight. Isn't it destined that we would make a big fuss and rescue Shi Dalang? Also called Mr. Zhao Ji Son, I was completely surprised!"

Everyone laughed in unison and shouted: "Okay! We are about to make a big fuss to relieve the evil in our chests!"

This is exactly:

The history in prison is as strong as iron in the bones, and the heroes outside the prison are as righteous as heaven! When a brother is in danger, who cares about his life? A group of arsonist murderers!
