A few days later, at the boundary between Xuzhou and Shanzhou, on the official road at the foot of the vast Wuyin Mountain, I saw a man covered in injuries, walking with difficulty, and soon there were bursts of horse hooves. There was a sound behind the crowd, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers were seen chasing after them quickly.
The man turned his head to look, and suddenly looked startled. He quickly quickened his pace, but he was already seriously injured and couldn't hold on for long, so after a few quick steps, he fell to the ground.
Looking at the officers and soldiers who came on horseback and quickly surrounded him, the man immediately grasped the long knife in his hand, with a look of determination in his eyes.
"Haha, brother Li Ben, can you run faster than a war horse?" A deputy lieutenant who seemed to know Li Ben said with a mocking smile.
After Li Ben saw it, he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Dong Chang, you are a despicable villain. If you hadn't been taken in by the village master, you would have starved to death long ago. But you actually betrayed the village and took refuge in the imperial court, killing his wife and young lady." , sooner or later the village leader will kill you with his own hands one day!!"
Dong Chang smiled nonchalantly, shook his head and said: "Brother Li Ben, as the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Now that Siping Village has been completely wiped out, as long as you tell where Wang You and the others are hiding in Jiuqu Mountain, you will definitely After receiving a great reward from the imperial court, instead of serving the bandits, why not serve the imperial court together with me? Such money and beauty can be enjoyed endlessly!!"
"Don't even think about it!!" Li Ben said angrily immediately.
Dong Chang's eyes turned cold, "It seems that if you don't see the coffin or cry, brother, then don't blame me. Come, take me back and torture you severely!!"
"yes!!"
Just as the two officers and soldiers were preparing to take action, suddenly sharp arrows were shot out from the nearby forest. In an instant, four or five of the officers and soldiers present were killed or injured.
Dong Chang looked startled and said quickly, "No, there is an ambush. Get out quickly."
When Dong Chang fled with his officers and soldiers, he saw a man jumping out of the forest next to him. He was tall and tall, holding a mourning sword in his hand. Soon, dozens of soldiers holding bows, arrows, swords and guns appeared. Also appeared in front of me.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Li Ben looked at it in surprise, quickly got up with difficulty and said: "Thank you hero for the rescue."
"You're welcome, what did you commit and are you being hunted by the government?"
When Li Ben heard this, he hesitated slightly and said: "Please hero atone for your sins. The stakes here are very important. I can't say. I wonder if the hero can tell me how to get to Liangshan, which is eight hundred miles away from here!!"
The burly man was stunned and said unexpectedly: "Why do you want to go to Liangshan?"
Li Ben sighed, "This time I am going to ask for help."
"Ask for help??"
"Hey!" Li Ben took a look at his injuries and knew that he couldn't do it alone. He said: "I won't hide it from the hero. My village leader is now trapped in Jiuqu Mountain. Thousands of troops have blocked the mountain, so he sent me to rush out to ask for help. "
"Who is the leader of your village?" The burly man asked curiously upon hearing this.
"The leader of my village is Wang You, the leader of Siping Village, nicknamed Tianquanzi."
"Why did he go to Liangshan to ask for help??"
"My village leader has a close friend, nicknamed Qing Niangzi, but in fact she is Hu Sanniang, the lord of Liangshan Shuibo and the sworn sister of Song Village Master."
"What!! Sanniang, do you mean it's Sanniang?" The burly man said in surprise when he heard this.
Li Ben was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Do you know me??"
"Hahaha, brother, there is no need to go to Liangshan in person. I am Huang Xin, the deputy commander of the Wuyin Mountain branch of Liangshan, and the commander is my master, Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming. We are stationed here. One is to carry out my brother's orders, and the other is to I just wanted to find out about Sanniang, and it seems that Sanniang is not dead after all!!"
"Really" Li Ben said excitedly.
“This is still fake”
"Yes, but this place is still a hundred miles away from Liangshan!!"
"Haha, Wuliangshan's power has now spread throughout Jingdong, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses," Huang Xin said proudly.
When Li Ben heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Deputy Commander, hurry up, send troops to rescue the village leader and the others. They are trapped in Jiuqu Mountain. When I came, they were running out of food and grass. In addition, the village leader has contracted a serious disease and has already died." fall sick!!"
"What!!" Huang Xin's eyes narrowed and he said, "Don't worry, follow me back to the village first!!"
"good!!"
. . . .
Soon, in a large mountain stronghold, Li Ben told the story of the battle in the valley that day, how Hu Sanniang led the cavalry in, and luckily saved Liu Meng, Wang You and other heroes.
"Okay, Sanniang is really a hero among women, and she is my brother's sworn sister. In that case, why didn't she just go back to Liangshan instead of wasting time and being blocked?" Qin Mingdao said with a thick beard and a majestic face.
"Hey, the leader of our village is very affectionate. He wanted to take his relatives to Liangshan, but he didn't expect that the traitor in this battle was our second master. He is the son of Zhang Shuye, and inside The traitor's rebellion ended in the tragic death of the wife. The young lady also committed suicide because she felt that her identity was unknown, causing harm to the entire village. After the village owner and others finally broke out of the siege, it was already too late. For more than a month, we have been looking around They fled and wanted to go to Liangshan, but the imperial court had already made preparations. All the necessary roads were set up with checkpoints. In addition, some followers were also confused by the government. They could not bear the pain of fleeing and defected one after another. In the end, the village leader They were forced to flee into Jiuqu Mountain, the mountain range where the Black Tiger Village was originally located, and managed to support themselves with the help of the terrain, but they probably won’t be able to support it for long!!”
"Master, send troops to rescue him quickly." Huang Xin said immediately after hearing this.
"No, my brother gave us orders when we came here. The task now is to gather strength. If we go out at this moment, we will definitely attract the attention of the court!!" I saw a man with stubborn eyes and a copy of Liangshan Chronicles in his hand. The man said with an indifferent expression.
"What do you mean? Zhang Sheng, you want to give up Sanniang." Upon hearing this, Huang Xin immediately said angrily.
"Of course not, but you have to get your brother's consent first. Don't lose the big by being small," the man said firmly.
"You bastard, Sanniang is my brother's adopted sister. Is this a small matter?? In addition, my brother has already said that he will give the master the right to make decisions on the spot. He must ask questions clearly, so why fight?!" Huang Xin was suddenly angry! road.
"Vice President Huang, please pay attention to the way you speak. Were you questioning my brother's authority just now?" The man picked up Liang Shanzhi and his eyes became cold.
"You kid, you are dangling this book in front of me. When I went to war with my brother, you didn't know where you were?? What right do you have to doubt my loyalty to my brother? Believe it or not, I will beat you now "You" Huang Xin was very angry.
"Huang Xin" Qin Ming shouted solemnly, then looked at a man next to him who was full of elegance, wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist, and said seriously: "Vice President Yuan, what do you think?"
Yuan Ya, the deputy commander sent by Chongwenfang, and the man who objected was his subordinate Zhang Sheng. Although they did not get involved in the military, Qin Ming did not dare to do so casually, because under the guidance of Yuan Ya and others day and night, Now, he has a high prestige in the hearts of the brothers in the branch village, especially among the middle-level officers.
Yuan Ya's eyes narrowed and he said firmly: "Save, and fast!!"
