Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 154 East Dog Paw Mountain

When the three of them met Zhao Zhen, Zhu Gui quickly stepped forward to salute and introduced his brothers Zhu Fu and Li Yun. Zhao Zhen asked: "Where are brothers Zhu Gui and Han Bolong?"

Zhu Gui smiled and replied: "Master of the village, brother Han Bolong has sent people to unload the luggage outside the village and take care of brother Zhu Fu's family. Let me take my younger brother and Li Yun to pay homage to the master of the village first."

Zhao Zhen praised: "Brother Zhu Gui is so talented that he was able to invite Li Dutou. Today, the county has gained two live tigers, which is a good time to celebrate."

Praise for poetry:

The face is broad, the eyebrows are thick, the beard is red, and the eyes are as green as a foreigner.

The green-eyed tiger in Yishui County, and all the heroes are headed by Li Yun.

Zhu Guidao: "Master, it's not my fault, it's all done by Erlang Zhu Fu." He then told how he met Zhu Fu, how Li Yun was jealous of his appearance, and how Zhu Fu invited Li Yun. After a while, everyone scolded the corrupt officials in the hall, and those who had the ability were not allowed to be reused, while those who flattered were free and at ease.

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside. When Zhao Zhen looked up, it was Han Bolong who had someone carry a large, dusty incense burner in. Behind him were five or seven men and women, who should be Zhu Fu's family members. When Zhao Zhen saw it, he stood up and welcomed everyone in. He asked Cheng Waner to go to the side hall to entertain the rich Zhu family. Then he looked at the incense burner in the hall and said, "Brother Han Bolong, how do you bring back this big incense burner?"

Han Bolong said: "Master of the village, the two brothers Li Yun and Zhu Fu heard that the owner of the village liked old things from the previous dynasty, so they worked tirelessly to transport this incense burner all the way from Yishui County. These few villagers on the way Hard work all the way.”

Zhao Zhen called the two villagers and assistants and rewarded them both with a bottle of good wine and two kilograms of overcooked mutton. Then he said to Li Yun and Zhu Fu, "Why are you two brothers doing this? It's enough to have two good men who agree with each other." Comfort your life."

Li Yun discussed the matter with Zhu Fu at the Sizhou Dasheng Temple. When they saw the incense burner, everyone said that it was God's will.

Zhu Fu also said from the side: "Master, this incense burner has never been cleaned along the way, and the ashes in the incense burner have not been cleaned, and the dust on the burner has not been wiped off for fear of attracting attention."

Zhao Zhen looked carefully and saw that there was indeed a shining white light.

world log
Sizhou Dasheng incense burner with goldfish pattern (third level, carved in white marble, standing on three legs, with a stone seat below. Worshiped in front of the Sizhou Dasheng Ancestral Hall, the power of incense fills the air)
Effect 1: Lead people to do good (all living beings are equal and compassionate. The incense will envelop their bodies, overcome evil and do good, concentrate and calm down +1, suppress demons and ghosts +)

The second effect is that the people's hearts are stable (suffering in this life, cultivating the next life, people's hearts +2) Zhao Zhen saw it and found that it was indeed a good treasure, so Zhao Ji took people to move it down, clean it up, and send it to the Pagoda Temple.

Zhao Zhen said: "The four brothers have come from afar to work hard and go down to rest. Now the brothers on both sides of the Goutou Mountain, the East Gouzhao Mountain and the West Gouzhao Mountain, have been occupied. Today I will go to arrange the affairs of the two mountains and stay until night. Let’s have a banquet with all the brothers.”

After hearing this, Zhu Fu said: "Master, although we have been on the road a lot, this journey has been peaceful and we still have strength. Master, whenever there is a need for me, just speak up. I am full of blood and use it." Come on." Li Yun echoed from the side.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhu Gui, who said: "Master of the village, I would like to take this opportunity to get acquainted with the heroes of the village."

Zhao Zhen said, that being the case, Brother Zhu Fu's family is small and they will settle here. They will arrange their place of residence later when the duties of Brother Zhu Fu are arranged later.

After speaking with Cheng Wan'er, he called Wu Yong and Jiao Ting, took Zhang Qi and other guards with him, and everyone gathered around to go to the Hougang Pier in Baishi Valley, where Ruan Xiaoer had been waiting early.

Everyone got on the boat and first went to East Dog Paw Mountain, which was completely stable. Ruan Xiaoer took the helm, and all the sailors rowed together, and soon they arrived at East Dog Paw Mountain. Zhao Zhen also heard about this place from Zhao Xing. There was a village at the foot of the mountain with more than 150 households, called Jiazhuang. Like a farm, it was also a small fishing village.

Different from the farm, East Dog Paw Mountain is a stone mountain with thin and barren soil and little fertile farmland. The village could not make a living by fishing, so many people became water bandits. On weekdays, I caught fish and sold it outside, and bought some corn to satisfy my hunger, so I could go ashore to inquire about news. As soon as there is an opportunity, several families join forces and dare to sail out of the mist to plunder.

It was also good luck that the fog cleared that day. As a large caravan passed by on the water, all the strong men in Jiazhuang village went out to rob it. Ruan Xiaoqi, Guang Hui and others suddenly attacked again, and the village was caught off guard. They captured the village without firing a single sword or arrow.

Seeing that they were all women, children, old and weak, Xiao Rang inquired and learned that the plundering fleet only returned to the village at night and set up ambushes. Ruan Xiaoqi was driving a boat in the distance, and they all used fast boats to see the pier on fire, and they all rushed into the pier. Guanghui and others on the shore also took advantage of their unpreparedness and surrounded these people. He also asked the women and children in the village to shout, and they all captured Donggouzhao Mountain without using any soldiers.

Although these strong men surrendered, they showed dissatisfaction on their faces and in their hearts. They bluntly pointed out the conspiracy and tricks used by Guanghui and others, and they refused to surrender even though they surrendered.

After some discussion, everyone felt that if these people were not convinced, they would always be a hidden danger in the future. After all, these people were not just bankers, they were all used to fighting and looting. With this, everyone set up a arena. On land, Song Wan and Jin Dajian beat down half of the men who dared to attack on land with two sticks. Ruan Xiaoqi defeated the other half in the water and underwater. These unruly men are truly convinced.

In the next few days, Xiao Rang used the medicine he brought to treat the injured men who had returned from the robbery. Guang Hui led people to practice every day. These strong men admired Guang Hui and others even more when they saw their loyalty, well-equipped armor and neat military appearance. Some even asked to join the army. Only Zhao Zhen did not return, so Guang Hui and others could not agree. After all, raising an army cost a lot of money. He only agreed to negotiate with the county magistrate and allowed these men to come to the military camp to practice martial arts every day.

Hearing that Zhao Zhen was coming today, not only the sergeants summoned by Guanghui, but also those from Murakami who were interested in joining the army stood aside and waited. The sergeants were arranged neatly. Although the swords were not unsheathed and the arrows were not stringed, they had a murderous aura. When Li Yun and Zhu Fu met on the ship, they couldn't help but look forward to the future.

world log
Li Yun and Zhu Fu saw Liangshan's army and yearned for it, and their luck +10.

Zhao Zhen felt even happier when he saw it. Coupled with the many treasures, spiritual materials, and captured sergeants brought back from the main world, Liangshan's world luck has now risen instead of falling, with 165 points.

Everyone met on the dock and went to the military camp set up by Guang Hui. Ruan Xiaoqi, Guang Hui and Xiao Rang reported one by one.

I also saw Zhengjia Mountain in Jiazhuang Village and had a thorough understanding of Donggouzhao Mountain. There is not even a teacher who teaches literacy in the entire Jiazhuang. These people have been learning to fish and fight since they were young, and they have a somewhat unruly personality. Jia Shan's ability to become an upright is all due to his physique as his name suggests, making him an invincible opponent in the entire village. Zhao Zhen has seen that the occupations of these people are also very similar. The main occupation is water gangster, and the secondary occupation is fisherman. They have a characteristic of +2 water force.

As for the seizures, except for the fishing boats on the pier, the newly snatched grain, cloth, and the village warehouses that could starve rats to death, it was really nothing. These people's plunder was based on bravery. Their armor was just some wooden boards tied to their bodies, and a harpoon in their hands was quite sharp.

After so many years of plundering, it was not like no good things were left behind. Jia Shan presented three things on behalf of the whole village.

An eye-catching piece of tiger skin with a white forehead. This tiger skin is two feet long without the tail. Even if it is dead, the tiger still has its power. According to what Jia Shan said, this was passed down from generation to generation by the grandfathers in the village. He robbed a high-ranking official and was unable to take action, so he kept it.

The second piece, which was also difficult to get rid of, was passed down together with the tiger skin. It was a jade Ruyi, which was called "Ink Jade Inlaid with Cold White Jade Eight Immortals Picture of Good Luck, Longevity and Longevity". The second-level treasure has only one characteristic, coolness. Holding this jade Ruyi on a hot summer day, your whole body will feel peaceful without any heat at all. Ruyi is one foot long and seven feet long. It is carved from a single piece of black jade. It is as black as ink and as bright as lacquer. It has a pure color without any variegated colors. Black jade is rare, and this piece is even more top-grade among the black jade. The body of the vessel is slender, with the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity engraved on the head. There is also a picture of the Eight Immortals on the handle, all inlaid with cold white jade. The tail end is triangular and tied with yellow silk tassels.

The third item is contained in a wooden box. When you open it, you will find a 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum plant. This Ganoderma lucidum comes from Donggouzhao Mountain. In addition to Ganoderma lucidum, there are also dendrobium on the mountain. Unfortunately, no one dares to go to the county town to buy and sell, so it is useless to collect it. There are many black bears and wild boars in the mountains, so people don't easily go into the mountains.

Zhao Zhen was very happy to see him. Besides, the strong men like Jiazhuang were also good at fighting. Zhao Zhen agreed on the spot that as long as the training was completed, the strong men like Jiazhuang would join the Liangshan Army. From now on, the monthly salary will be enough for the whole family. After hearing this, everyone in Jiazhuang naturally cheered.

world log
The people's hearts are attached, the soil is built, and the luck is +5.

On that day, Zhao Zhen arranged wine and food tubes to treat the strong men in Jiazhuang in the camp, and rewarded the sergeants. Afterwards, Zhao Zhen arranged for Song Wan to lead 50 people to garrison here, and the rest, along with Jia Shan's group of strong men who joined the army, took a boat to Jinshatan Water Village, leaving Ruan Xiaoqi to train Jia Shan and others. Gao Lun and Cai Zhong assisted in the training of the troops. These people fought bravely. Zhao Zhen planned to set up a separate capital. He had already thought of a name, so he called it [Yanhu Army], with Living Yama Luo Ruan Xiaoqi as the main general. From now on, he will fight full-time. No more patrolling the water.
