Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 30 Jinniu Ridge Attacked

"Needless to say, the guy who is in charge must be good." A bandit laughed.

"Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know. Liu Erleng, you take a new knife, and Dahu, you still use the original waist knife. How about you two try this new knife." Li Jing said.

"Okay!" Liu Erleng said excitedly.

As he spoke, he took a knife from Zhao Shuangxi's hand and shook its weight: "Not bad, but the weight is a bit light."

"Hehe, you are strong, so it might be a bit lighter to use. I will make you a separate one that is heavier. You should try the knife first." Li Jing said with a smile.

Liu Er took up his knife and slashed twice, beckoning to Chen Dahu: "Brother Dahu, let's make gestures again."

Both Liu Erleng and Chen Dahu belonged to the kind of muddleheaded people. When Li Jing led Dahu and others to Jinniuling, he once beat Liu Erleng in front of everyone. Dahu laughed at him for his lack of martial arts skills. For this reason, the two often fought on the mountain, and every time they fought, their noses and faces were swollen. After fighting too many times, the two became friendly instead, so they stopped fighting and changed to drinking.It's just that these two people can't drink more than half a catty, and they get drunk every time.

Li Jing knew the details of the two of them very well, so he let them try their swords.

"Come on, let me see if you have made any progress during this time." Dui said, pulling out his waist knife.

Liu Er was not polite, he took two steps forward, swung his saber and slashed. Seeing the urgency of the saber, Du Hu hurriedly took a step back and raised his saber to meet him. Each takes half a step back.

"Kill me again!" Liu Er Leng yelled, and slashed at him again.

"Good time!" Chen Dahu not to be outdone, raised his saber again to greet him.

At the moment when Chen Dahu turned his saber, Li Jing suddenly saw a black line on the Dahu saber.

Li Jing's heart trembled, and he shouted loudly: "Stop! Hurry back quickly."

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, there was a sound of two sabers intersecting, and the waist saber in Chen Dahu's hand was broken in two.

Fortunately, Li Jing yelled in time. Liu Er was taken aback when he heard Li Jing's yell, and his hands paused slightly. The tiger on the other side reacted in time. Originally, he didn't take that step forward. Otherwise, the knife would follow the trend, and Chen Dahu would It will be split into two pieces.

"It's dangerous!" Li Jing thought to himself.

"Damn it, let you two try your sword, what are you doing so desperately!" Li Jing scolded.

"I didn't know that the knife made by the master is so powerful, brother Duhu is okay." Liu Er said in a daze.

"Grandma's, it was almost split in half by you, do you think it's okay?" Du Hu said with lingering fear.

"Hey, it's okay if you can still talk. Let me have a drink later, I'll calm you down." Liu Er said with a grin.

"Okay, you two are allowed to drink today, but you are not allowed to drink too much." Li Jing was also happy to see that Dahu was fine, and even allowed Liu Erleng to drink.

Originally, Liu Er Leng was trying his best to beat Chen Dahu for a drink, but unexpectedly, Li Jing agreed, and immediately opened his mouth in joy and didn't close it for a long time.

"Zhao Shuangxi, you are really good at craftsmanship. I, Mr. Li, mean what I say, and everyone will reward you with silver..." Li Jing was talking, when he saw Liu Erlen and Chen Dahu turn back to the room, he immediately said angrily: "Liu Erleng Dazed, Chen Dahu, where are you two bastards going?"

"Didn't the boss allow us to drink, let's go back and drink." Liu Er scratched his head in a daze.

"Is it time to drink now? You two go to shopkeeper Wang to get the silver, and give Zhao Shuangxi and the others a tael each." Li Jing shouted.

"Yes." Chen Dahu hurriedly replied, and after speaking, he pulled Liu Er to turn around and leave.

"You hand over all your original weapons in exchange for new sabers." After Dug left, Li Jing said to the bandits.

"Yes." All the bandits responded in unison.

This new type of saber is so sharp, the bandits saw with their own eyes that they were very happy to be able to use such a guy, they hurriedly took out their original weapons and exchanged them for new ones.

"Zhao Shuangxi, melt all these weapons and make a new type of saber." Li Jing said.

"Yes!" Zhao Shuangxi replied.

The craftsmen's weapon casting went smoothly, and the city's Zhuzi and Gao Qi's work was also extremely straightforward.

Zhuzi rushed to the city gate and told Gao Qi what Li Jing meant. Gao Qi immediately understood the meaning. After changing the guard, he brought Zhuzi to his home. Said that someone gave money and land, and immediately decided to go out of the city to the farm.

The next morning, Gao's family began to pack up. In the afternoon, everything was tidied up. Zhu Zi hired a few carriages and drove Gao Qi's family and daily necessities to Wang's Grange.

Seeing that Gao Qi brought his family here, Li Jing was overjoyed, knowing that Gao Qi had completely surrendered to him, he immediately asked shopkeeper Wang to properly accommodate Gao Qi's family.

There was no sign of the officers and soldiers in the city being mobilized, and Sun Zongqi's injuries were mostly healed, so Li Jing and Shen Zheng were going to take people to Luoyang.The Shen family's family property in Luoyang is more than that of Zhengzhou, and Shen Yi is in charge of this family property in Luoyang. However, Shen Zheng is really worried about his second brother, so he asked Li Jing to take a look with him.

It's just that after leaving, Wang's Grange has to be guarded here. With so much money stored here, Li Jing dare not be careless.

That night Li Jing was discussing with the gangsters who would keep the Wang's farm to guard after they left, when he suddenly saw Shen Zheng and shopkeeper Wang rushing over with them.One of them, Li Jing, knew that it was Uncle Fu, the manager of the Shen family who stayed on the mountain.

Seeing Uncle Fu come here, Li Jing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something happened on the mountain?
As soon as Shen Zheng saw Li Jing, he shouted anxiously: "Nephew, something is wrong. Someone attacked our cottage. Ma Wu asked Ah Fu to deliver the letter quickly, and asked you to take someone back to rescue."

Before Li Jing could make a sound, the gangsters immediately exploded: "Damn it, which son of a bitch is tired of his job and dares to attack our cottage, the boss, let's go back and hack him to death."

"What are you panicking!" Li Jing waved his hand to stop the bandits: "Uncle Fu, do you know who is attacking our cottage?"

"I heard from Ma Wuye that the person who came was from Hongshanling Sanmazi," Uncle Fu said.

Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't an official army, as long as it wasn't an official army, it would be fine.

Hongshanling Sanmazi, Li Jing heard from him when chatting with Ma Wu before that Sanmazi, like Ma Wu, belonged to the boss of Motianling Zhou, and several of them even worshiped him.After Boss Zhou separated, Ma Wu led people to occupy Jinniuling, and Sanmazi led people to occupy Hongshanling to the northwest of Jinniuling.

"We have no grudges with San Mazi in the past, and we have no grudges in the present, and besides, he is Ma Wu's sworn brother, why did he come to beat us?" Li Jing asked.

"That's right, don't we have a few boss Zhou people on the mountain? One day, Sanmazi's men came to ask them to have a drink. After drinking, these boys told the people what happened on the mountain. So he brought Sanmazi to find Ma Wuye, asked Ma Wuye to give him half of the property, and wanted to take away the lady. Ma Wuye was angry, so he scolded Sanmazi. That night, Sanmazi came to attack Our cottage. Fortunately, Ma Wuye and Uncle Chen dealt with it well and repelled the Sanmazi people. But when Sanmazi left, he said he would tell Boss Zhou, so Ma Wuye asked the younger one to come and tell the master and the boss overnight , let you go back and find a way." Uncle Fu said.

"Uncle Fu has worked hard, you go down and rest, I have my own arrangements for this matter." Li Jingjing nodded and said.

When Uncle Fu went down, Li Jing frowned and began to think. Boss Zhou has a lot of people, and he may not have enough manpower. It seems that he can only rely on Sun Zongqi and his group.

"Dahu, please invite Sun Zongqi to come here immediately. Liu Erleng, you take a few brothers to pack up the horses and weapons. Da Zhuang, you take a few brothers to lead those officers and soldiers to the yard to wait for orders. Shopkeeper Wang, send someone to come immediately Go into the city and inform Zhuzi and Gao Qi to come back immediately."

The bandits led the order and hurried out.

After a while, Chen Dahu rushed over with Sun Zongqi.

"Why does the master want to find Sun?" Sun Zongqi clasped his fists and said.

Li Jing had talked with Sun Zongqi twice in the past two days, revealing his intention to solicit, and Sun Zongqi had to bow his head under the eaves. Moreover, Li Jing's salary was extremely high, and Sun Zongqi agreed to it.

Since ancient times, for a family of soldiers and bandits, making friends with a few bandits is nothing to officers and soldiers. As long as the soldiers below are fed enough, no one will care whether they make friends with bandits.

"Sun Zongqi, something happened on the mountain of Li, and I want to borrow your brothers to help me with something." Li Jing said.

Since he wanted to ask Sun Zongqi for help, Li Jing didn't hide anything and just told the truth.

"The head of the family is polite, the life of Sun is given by the head of the house, and the head of the house can only tell Sun what to do." Sun Zongqi said.

"Fresh, I have ordered your subordinates to stand by in the yard, so you go and tell your subordinates that as long as they are willing to help me, I, Li Jing, will never treat you brothers badly afterwards." Li Jing said.

"Yes!" Sun Zongqi replied.

Sun Zongqi knew that tonight would be a test for him and his subordinates. If he hesitated for a moment, Li Jing would order him and his subordinates to be killed. Li Jingshan had already had an accident, so naturally he would not give it to him. Leave a bane.

When Sun Zongqi came to the courtyard, he saw that the officers and soldiers were in despair under the guard of Chen Dazhuang and others.

"Brothers, how has Master Li treated you these two days?" Zongqi Sun asked.

"I didn't say anything, I paid back the money for eating and drinking, and even changed my ragged clothes." A soldier said.

"Okay, now that the boss has something to do with us, what do the brothers say we should do?" Sun Zongqi said.

"Does it matter? Just order it in water or fire." A soldier answered.

"Da Li is very kind to the brothers. He needs help from the brothers. If we don't go, are we still human?" Another soldier asked.

"Well, from now on, all the brothers will obey the orders of Master Li. If anyone disobeys, I, Mr. Sun, will speak out in front of me. Even if Master Li spares you, I, Mr. Sun, will not let you go." .In addition, the head of the Li family said that this time the brothers will not be busy for nothing, and everyone will be rewarded afterwards." Sun Zongqi said.

As soon as they heard that there was a reward for the money, these soldiers immediately cheered up and shouted in unison: "We are only waiting for the order of Master Li."

Seeing that these officers and soldiers were so righteous, they agreed without even asking what they were going to do. Knowing that these two days of hard work were not in vain, he came out of the room and said, "Li Jing is here to thank you brothers, Da Zhuang, Send back your brothers' swords and horses, and we will set off later."

Li Jing left eight people including Chen Erzhuang to guard Wang's farm, and then he took all the bandits, officers and soldiers and started on the road overnight.
