Water Margin Survival

As the last truck that creaked under heavy loads drove out of the village entrance, the noisy Xixi Village gradually returned to tranquility in the middle of the night. Wang Lunchao, who stayed at the back of the temple, clasped his hands to the remaining old and young women and children in the village. Farewell: "Folks, there will be a period later!"

"My lord, go slowly!"

I saw that the old man who had handed over the two great-grandchildren to Wang Lun with his own hands just now came out to say goodbye to him with the support of his family members. Wang Lun rushed to meet him, took the old man's hand and patted him gently: "Old man, It’s so cold! You’d better go back and rest earlier, I’ll tell Li Si to take good care of those two children! I’ll treat all the young people in the village who go up the mountain as equals! Don’t worry, you and the villagers !"

"Don't worry! If you don't worry, how can you hand them over to the king!" The old man nodded vigorously.

"Old man, if you want to have a child in the future, please send a letter, and I will send someone to pick you up and stay up the mountain for a few days! Also, if someone comes to ask the folks for some food in the future, please take the lead I told the folks not to fight recklessly with them. Give what is due, pay what is due, even if they take the house, don’t say anything, don’t suffer immediate losses! Just ask someone to go up to the mountain to report to me, and then I will Bring people down the mountain to stand up for the villagers!" Wang Lunlang said.

"Your Majesty's benevolence! Your Majesty's benevolence..." The old man sighed repeatedly after hearing the words, his eyes were red and swollen on his wrinkled face.

Wang Lun waved his hand, and then instructed: "If there is a lawsuit in the future, the folks just push it on me, Wang Lun! Remember: I took the children away! Then you can cry and beg the county. Ya will uphold justice for everyone, so they won't come here to pester you!"

Before Wang Lun could finish speaking, the old man had already burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.Those bony old hands just held onto Wang Lun's wrist tightly and refused to let go for a long time.

I don't know whether he was infected by the old man's emotions or moved by Wang Lun's words. There was a burst of whimpering in the crowd. Wang Lun clasped his fists at the crowd, shouted "Farewell!", and took the queen with him. Ladies and gentlemen, amidst the reluctant cries of the villagers, we headed towards the path outside the village.

Because of the good harvest tonight, among the descendants, no matter the two leaders Du and Song, or the ordinary minions, all were filled with joy in their hearts.Only Wang Lun didn't feel any sense of relief at the moment. On the contrary, the hidden danger that had been worrying in his heart had not been eliminated until now.

In fact, in Wang Lun's view, the biggest threat has never appeared in this operation tonight!

Ever since he made up his mind to avenge Li Si, he never looked directly at Baozheng of Xixi Village. In his eyes, Baozheng was nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.This person did evil in the village and bullied the villagers. The whole Xixi Village can be described as a mess.On the contrary, the thing that worried him most all the time came from Dongxi Village next to the target!

Chao Gai has some skills in his work. According to his own estimation, Dongxi Village is run like an iron barrel in ten out of ten. In addition, there are many heroes from the rivers and lakes staying in his village. !Whether this force that should not be underestimated will boost Chao Gai's confidence in taking advantage of the fire to loot, Wang Lun feels that the answer is not good for him.

To say that this Chao Gai is also a big brother who became famous earlier in the Jianghu. In addition to the fact that everyone in the same circle knows that he is a private businessman who sits on the ground and divides the spoils, he also has a white Taoist identity of Baozheng on his head, and he has a relationship with the county government. The friendship between officials (Song Jiang) and public security officials (Zhu Dian, Lei Heng) and others is not shallow. Combining black and white factors, it can be seen that this person's behavior has great flexibility objectively, and he can do some illegal activities secretly. , and can switch identities on the bright side to enjoy free and black, but in the end, which identity he will show others depends on which identity can maximize his interests.

Wang Lun didn't know whether King Chao Tian had been cheating for nothing.It's just that he has a "criminal record" for being black and black.If Lin Chong is the sharp knife that killed Wang Lun in the original trajectory, then Chao Gai is the one who catches the knife behind the scenes.

Wang Lun also knew that Chao Gai was a righteous man, otherwise he would not have sent someone to rescue him after Bai Sheng confessed to him, regardless of the previous suspicions.But Wang Lun knew better that Chao Gai's loyalty was only limited to treating his brothers. If he thought that only a letter could make Chao Gai treat his elder brother on the road next door as a brother, Wang Lun felt that it was a bit too childish.Just because Chao Gai was able to acquiesce in Wu Yong's act of urging his master's roommate to merge with the family master, and then occupying the magpie's nest as his own master, he knew that Chao Gai was not a person who could be summed up in the word loyalty .

Besides, as Baozheng, Chao Gai would not fail to estimate the wealth of his old enemy's family.[-] guan of money and food, the amount is almost close to the birthday plan, can Chao Gai hold back his indifference?If you snatch it from your own hands and use righteous people to fight against bandits, not only will there be no sequelae on the official side, but it will also be of great benefit to him.Since all of this is so legitimate, it means that my group is in danger of being attacked at any time.

The reason why Wang Lun sent someone to Chaogai Village to deliver the letter from the very beginning was that he had the idea of ​​scaring the snake out of his mind, and he lifted it up to the sky with a gentle and kind word, which can be regarded as the etiquette of the first salute and then the soldier.He only hoped that Chao Tianwang could understand in just a few words that he was ready to be eaten for nothing, and then weigh the gains and losses, and don't be reckless.

However, it has been almost two hours since he first entered the village. Not only did the two people who wrote the letter to Chao Gai still have no news, even the minions he secretly sent to the entrance of Dongxi Village to keep an eye on him did not return. Lun raised his vigilance. Although he ordered everyone to be more careful, he still couldn't let go of his mind. Therefore, after agreeing on a plan with Du Qian and Song Wan, he personally brought more than two hundred elite minions to the queen.

well!In the final analysis, all this trouble and effort is due to the fact that one's own strength is too weak!

Coach Lin, where are you? I have been waiting so hard for you!

Thinking of this, Wang Lun shook his head and took a deep breath. Stimulated by the icy cold, he lifted his spirits slightly, and shouted loudly for everyone to proceed carefully.

Originally, the night in the countryside was full of charm, but at this time, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the faint moonlight disappeared on the painted path. The only thing to hear was the howling cold wind, which made everyone's ears buzzing.

"It's really a night where the moon is dark and the wind is high!" Wang Lun sighed softly.

Suddenly, there was a loud warning sound, which made Wang Lun very nervous.I saw an ambush minion appearing and shouting: "There are people by the stream, armed with weapons, no less than five hundred!" Seeing that the target had been exposed, the man did not hide his surname, but ran to warn Wang Lun. running.

Wang Lun's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself that he had guessed it, this guy came here after smelling the fishy smell!It's just that I didn't expect that the name of Chao Gai's local snake was really not a bragging, and more than [-] people were mobilized!It seems that in the face of absolute strength, his strategy of scaring the snake has failed.He steadied his mind, stretched out five fingers to point to the left and right, and the five minions beside him hurriedly took out the loud arrows they had prepared in advance, and shot towards the sky angrily, only to hear five ear-piercing arrows resounding through the sky .

I didn't want to shoot an arrow here, only to hear bursts of exclamation from the stream, and after a few shouts, the restlessness of the crowd hidden in the darkness gradually stopped.At this time, I suddenly heard a voice in the darkness, urgently urging: "Baozheng, it's not too late! Either lead everyone forward desperately, or step forward to clarify the misunderstanding, don't hesitate!" At this time another person answered: "Mr. Jia Liang, this Liangshan team has passed 3000 people back and forth, and five arrows have been released there, clearly counting the number of people waiting for me. Presumably, the former team will return to help soon. I can go forward at this moment." Can you take advantage of it?" This person's words fell to the ground, and no one answered, it seems that everyone is thinking in their hearts.

Wang Lun saw that the group of people hiding in the dark were fighting and not fighting, avoiding and not avoiding, and thought to himself, could this group of people be hesitant?I didn't have time to think about it at the moment, I only knew that I couldn't show weakness at this moment, so I stepped forward and said loudly into the darkness: "Wang Lun in Xialiang Mountain, I don't know which hero is here, why don't you show up and meet each other!"

Woo... woo...

Except for the cold wind blowing hard and the stream flowing, there was silence.

After a long time, there was still no response by the stream.

But at this moment there was a rustling sound in the darkness, presumably they were discussing countermeasures, but Wang Lun didn't urge him to speak anymore, he knew that the longer these people discussed, the less determined they would be to take action, so they just turned their heads to the little ones After making a gesture, everyone straightened out their clothes, armor, knives and guns, wiped off the cold sweat on their hands, and waited for Wang Lun's order before stepping forward to fight for their lives.

"Bolong, didn't you say that there are only seven or eight hundred people on Liangshan? Why are there so many people tonight!"

"Vendor Master, my little brother is also very puzzled! It's just that my news will never be wrong. This is the truth from my confidant brothers. I heard that there are only three hundred soldiers capable of fighting on Liangshan..."

"What do you think sir?"

"Baozheng, according to Brother Han's previous information, we should have an eight-point chance of winning this time. But at this time, there are no less than two thousand bandits in Liangshan. Although we have four or five hundred people at this time, it is more than double that of Wang Lun's rear team. But most of them are villagers, and only 500% of them are able to fight. I think Wang Lun is already on guard. If there is a fight, the thieves will take care of them first and last. I guess it will be difficult for me to gain the upper hand! According to Xiaosheng, Wang Lun's letters are sincere and sincere. There is a lot of friendship in the language, presumably he is not willing to be an enemy of Baozheng, if you don't want to talk about friendship with him, then think about it!"

"My husband's words are exactly what I want, so I will make peace with him!"

"Wait a minute, Wang Lun got the money and food from Xixi Village tonight, and it is just when he is full of ambitions. Although his letter is sincere, it is hard to say that it is not a plan to avoid the enemy. If I light a torch, I will let him see it." The majesty and prestige of my village, don't let the heart of looking forward to Shu!"

"Mr.'s words are very reasonable, come on, light the torches!"

Immediately when the flames lit up, four or five hundred strong men stood in the cold wind beside the stream with their weapons in their hands. The first one was as strong and burly as an iron tower. He took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that it is Liangshan Mountain The leader of Wang Lunwang, a white-clothed scholar, is in Xiadongxi Village to protect the Zhengchao Gai, so be polite!"

Wang Lun thought that it really was Chao Gai. Seeing that this man was talking to him and declaring his family name, instead of rushing to kill him, thinking that this battle would not be fought, he made up his mind and replied, "I don't know if the king of heaven went out of the village overnight. What can I teach you?"

Chao Gai hadn't answered yet, only to hear a man dressed as a Confucian scholar beside him answer on his behalf: "It's because the villagers have never seen anything in the world, and they all want to see the heroic appearance of the king. Therefore, Yang Baozheng is taking the lead to comfort the heart of admiration for heroes throughout his life!"
