Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 390 Hu Yanzhuo: What if I'm such a big horse? [1 more]

Hey?

There's a BMW outside!
Li Kui's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zhou Tong excitedly:
How about picking up this horse and giving it to your uncle?

Zhou Tong: I think it’s okay!
In the original novel, Hu Yanzhuo's horse Kicking the Snow was stolen by Zhou Tong.

Now it can be said that it is destined by fate...

Zhou Tong was originally in charge of this business. He and Li Kui looked into each other's eyes and understood each other tacitly:

Get his ass!

"Bring me two glasses of wine!"

Hu Yanzhuo was tearing mutton by hand while calling the waiter.

The Kaogongji Ziren quotes the Han Shi as follows:

"One liter is called jue, two liters are called gu, three liters are called zhi, four liters are called jiao, and five liters are called san."

One jiao is equal to four liters. One liter in the Song Dynasty is approximately equivalent to 670 milliliters today, or 0.67 liters.

One dime is 2.68 liters, and two dimes is 5.36 liters.

The largest bucket of Coke is 2.5 liters, so you can imagine how much wine Hu Yanzhuo ordered.

He was really tired.

Since the defeat at Liangshanpo, Hu Yanzhuo has been on a strategic shift alone.

By the time they moved to Qingzhou, they were already exhausted.

There is no time to reach Qingzhou City today, so Hu Yanzhuo plans to rest for one night and leave tomorrow.

As for the Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain mentioned by the waiter, Hu Yanzhuo didn't take them seriously at all.

These days, the mountains are full of bandits and the land is full of strong men. It can't be that everywhere is Liangshanpo, right?
What Hu Yanzhuo eats is not wine, but loneliness.

I was half drunk before I knew it, and suddenly I heard the waiter yelling:
"Oh no! Oh no! Something terrible has happened!"

Hu Yanzhuo was startled: "What happened?"

The waiter complained: "I went to the kitchen!
"When I came out, I saw that my husband's horse was gone!"

"what?"

Hu Yanzhuo hurried to the gate and took a look:
Sure enough, the snow-kicking horse tied to the post outside the door was gone!
马呢？

What about a horse as big as me?
Hu Yanzhuo was shocked and angry, and grabbed the waiter by the collar:
"Did you steal my horse?"

“It’s unfair—”

The waiter cried:
"How dare I steal your horse?
"It was probably stolen by that group of strong men!"

Hu Yanzhuo's eyes widened with anger: "Who are they?"

The waiter's mind was racing at this moment:
“It’s either Erlong Mountain or Qingfeng Mountain!

"There are four leaders in Erlong Mountain: Flower Monk Lu Zhishen, Black Whirlwind Li Kui, Tiger Fighting General Li Zhong, and Little Overlord Zhou Tong!
“There are three leaders in Qingfeng Mountain, the divine fortune teller Jiang Jing, the iron flute fairy Ma Lin, and the nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang!
"No one dares to steal your horse, it's only on Erlong Mountain or Qingfeng Mountain!"

Hu Yanzhuo didn't know Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Jiang Jing, Ma Lin, or Tao Zongwang.

But Lu Zhishen and Li Kui are both serious criminals of the court and are wanted nationwide!
Hu Yanzhuo looked around and found that only the table next to him was missing.

Hu Yanzhuo remembered it clearly:
One of the black bears also looked like a big man, exuding a savage and violent aura all over his body!
The other big man with a round face and a beard, although he has a handsome appearance, his eyes are very shifty!

Hu Yanzhuo glanced at them when he came in.

The main reason is that the big black bear guy is too eye-catching, and he has a big shiny bald head.

Now that the waiter had said this, Hu Yanzhuo connected the dots and suddenly realized:

"broken!
"Isn't that guy the Black Whirlwind?"

They are both bald men, but Lu Zhishen is not that dark.

Hu Yanzhuo locked onto Li Kui in an instant!
After hearing what he said, the waiter also remembered:

"Isn't it!
"That fellow brought two heavy objects wrapped in rags!
“When I put it on the table, there was a clang!
"I was afraid of breaking the table, so I asked what that thing was!
"That fellow didn't say anything, but yelled at me instead!
"Now that I think about it, could it be two big axes?"

Real hammer!
Hu Yanzhuo was furious when he heard this:

“It was indeed the Black Whirlwind from Erlong Mountain who stole the master’s horse!

"That's a horse given by the emperor, what should we do?" The waiter gave an idea:
"Sir, you must go to the state tomorrow to file a complaint and have the government send troops to capture the horse, only then can you seize it."

Hu Yanzhuo thought this was true and no longer had the appetite to drink. He just walked towards Qingzhou City on his own two big feet.

I couldn't make it before dark, so I found a village inn outside the city to stay in.

But he couldn't sleep, so he sat there all night with a heart full of resentment. At dawn, he went into the city to see Prefect Murong.

When he arrived at the government hall, Hu Yanzhuo paid his respects to Governor Murong.

Governor Murong was surprised to see Hu Yanzhuo:
"I heard that the general was arresting the Liangshanpo bandits, so why did you come here?"

Hu Yanzhuo recounted his tragic experience with a miserable look on his face.

When Prefect Murong heard this, he realized that they were both people who had been stranded in this world!

Prefect Murong has some friendship with Hu Yanzhuo, but only children talk about right and wrong, while the adult world only talks about pros and cons.

Governor Murong took the opportunity to grab Hu Yanzhuo's hand:
"Although the general lost many men, this is not a sin of slowness!

"We have fallen into the enemy's trap, and Guan Sheng has shamelessly surrendered to the enemy. The general is helpless!

"The areas under my jurisdiction have been invaded by bandits. Although Hua Rong, the military commander, has protected the city, we are still unable to suppress the bandits.

“General, when you get here, you can first clear Erlong Mountain and seize the horse given by the emperor!

“It’s not too late to conquer Qingfeng Mountain again!

"Once the enemy is captured, I will do my best to protect him and then ask the general to lead the troops to take revenge. How about that?"

If someone else said this, Hu Yanzhuo would definitely hesitate.

But Governor Murong is not an ordinary person, his sister is Concubine Murong, the favorite concubine of Emperor Huizong of Song!

He has an extraordinary status and can have a say in front of officials!
Now Governor Murong only wanted him to help suppress the bandits and was willing to speak well of him in front of Emperor Huizong of Song.

His Kicking Snow Horse was stolen by Erlongshan again, and it was originally intended to be used to suppress bandits.

To be honest, this request is not excessive.

Besides, Hu Yanzhuo had no other choice but to thank Governor Murong:

"Thank you very much, Lord Supervisor!
"If I am to be avenged in this way, I shall repay you with my own death!"

Prefect Murong asked Hu Yanzhuo to rest in the guest room while he changed clothes and ate, and he also invited Hua Rong to meet Hu Yanzhuo.

After Hu Yanzhuo took a bath and changed his clothes, he heard the servant say that Hua Rong had arrived, and he hurried out to greet him.

As soon as he saw Hua Rong, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't help but look down on him:

How many of these pretty boys can you beat?

Hu Yanzhuo still treated Hua Rong with courtesy, but the arrogance that flashed across his eyes was seen by Hua Rong.

Hua Rong pretended not to know and greeted him with a smile:
"I heard from Prime Minister En that General Huyan is here to help me suppress the bandits. How lucky I am!"

"Where there!"

Hu Yanzhuo was very satisfied with Hua Rong's attitude.

Hua Rong looked like a junior asking for advice from his senior:
"I wonder how General Huyan plans to suppress the bandits?"

"A few petty thieves, what's the point!"

Hu Yanzhuo stroked his beard and said proudly:
"Just hit him!"

Hua Rong blinked his eyes and said, "General Huyan is right!

"But what should we do if the thief escapes back to the mountains?"

Hu Yanzhuo frowned and said, "Yes, General Hua, what good plan do you have?"

Hua Rong hesitated for a moment:

"I only have an immature idea, and I would like to ask General Huyan for some advice.

"If I set the trap, General Huyan would pretend to be defeated and run away, luring the thief into the trap and capturing him!
"Then we'll force the thieves to lead the way and take us to their stronghold...

"What do you think, General?"
