Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wu Yong and others said goodbye to Li Zhong and Zhou Tong to leave.

The two could not stay together, so Wu Yong said: "Brothers don't want to, as I said yesterday, I really want to go to Qingfeng Mountain and Qingfeng Village to meet the Yanshun brothers and Huazhi Village."

"As I said before, brothers, if you can abide by the rules here, if you can't, just abandon this place and go to Liangshan County to seek a job. The high officials will definitely welcome you."

After hearing this, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong had no choice but to let Wu Yong and his party go down the mountain. Before leaving, he took seven or eight pieces of peach wood and offered them to him, saying: "There are many peach trees here in Peach Blossom Mountain, but these are the only ones that are old. I searched the warehouse yesterday and found them as a return gift from the village."

Wu Yong did not refuse, and asked someone to tie him to the horse, and everyone led the horse down the mountain. Li Zhong and Zhou Tong sent them off. Seeing that Wu Yong and others were far away, they turned back to the mountain.

On the way, Zhou Tongtong asked: "Brother, are you really going to Liangshan County?"

Li Zhongdao said: "We have to take a look before talking. If the new general manager is good, I will go to Liangshan County to settle down. If everything remains the same as before, wouldn't it be better for the two of us to live happily in the mountains?"

Zhou Tong listened and nodded.

Not to mention how Li Zhong and Zhou Tong repaired the stronghold and strengthened its defenses after returning to the mountain. It is only said that Wu Yong and his party went to Qingfeng Mountain first under the guidance of Shi Qian.

When Wu Yong and his party arrived, Yan Shun and a hundred of his minions were already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.

After meeting Wu Yong and his party, Yan Shun stepped forward to greet them, and everyone cut and brushed them on the roadside. Shi Qian introduced them one by one, and after meeting Yu Baosi, Yan Shun became more determined to go to Liangshan County.

Yan Shun said: "Since my brother Qian left yesterday, I haven't slept all night. I just hope to see the military advisor as soon as possible so that we can finalize the regulations. Please go to the stronghold to rest."

After that, he asked the young man behind him to step forward and lead the horse, and everyone walked up the mountain.

Walking all the way up, Wu Yong took a closer look at Qingfeng Mountain, which was even more dangerous than Peach Blossom Mountain. But see:

It is rugged on all sides and dangerous on all sides.

Weird trees are covered with pines and cranes, and old trees are covered with wisterias.

In the gathering hall of the cottage, wine and food were prepared early. After wiping his face with a cold towel, Yan Shun asked Wu Yong to sit at the top, followed by Yu Baosi, Shi Qian and Wang Dingliu, and he sat at the bottom.

Yan Shun picked up a glass of wine and said, "Military advisor, my younger brother's ancestral roots are from Laizhou, Shandong. He was originally a sheep and horse dealer. Because he lost his capital, he wandered into the green forest and robbed."

"This place was originally occupied by only a few poor households. When I met my younger brother, I was so ruthless that I killed them all. Seeing how dangerous this place was, I decided to occupy it. Later, I replaced the magistrate Murong Yanda, a dog-eat-dog official, to force the villagers to Too much, more and more people are going up the mountain, and this has become a trend. It’s just that I was just a horse dealer, and running a cottage is not what I am good at. "

"Everyone who goes up the mountain is collected, and many criminals are inevitably collected indiscriminately. The village is full of smoke and smoke. Although I rely on my martial arts to suppress it, it is not a long-term solution."

Wu Yong said: "I see that this team of minions you led is quite submissive. Why do you want to abandon this stronghold?"

"The military advisor doesn't know that these people are all farmers who have defected here. After some training, they are suitable. I sent the unruly ones to patrol the back mountains today. I don't know where they are sleeping now." Yan Shun He shook his head.

He took a sip of wine and sighed: "Although I have never made up my mind to get rid of these people, there are some smart people who are willing to get close to me. A few days ago, someone actually asked me to eat human flesh to scare these birds. After hearing this, my brother was stunned. It's disgusting. After meeting the Shi Qian brothers, I decided to leave this place and take only these simple villagers to join Zhao Daguan in Liangshan County."

Wu Yong said: "Brothers left like this and left these unruly people behind. Wouldn't it turn Qingfeng Mountain into a cruel place?"

"After all, we have been together for a long time, and I just can't let go." As he said that, Yanshun drank another bowl of wine.

"Please ask the military advisor to come up with an idea."

Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said: "Since brothers can't bear to do harm, take these helpless people and go to Liangshan County with me. The rest will be sent away. As for this camp, just burn it down. There are people in the province. The grass falls again."

Yan Shun said: "Everyone has his or her own fate. I don't care much anymore. I just follow what the military advisor said. I will clean up the stronghold today. But how did so many people get to Liangshan County?"

Wu Yong said: "How many people are going with you?"

Yan Shun said: "Most of these are brought by their families. There are 300 households in total."

"In this case, I will pretend to be a Xiang army on duty, and I will ask Brother Shi Qian to go back to Liangshan County first, and let the senior officials send troops and horses to respond."

Yan Shun happily agreed and was about to call his confidants to clean up the warehouse. Wu Yong quickly stopped him: "Brother Yan Shun, it's not urgent. I have to go to Qingfeng Village for business. It will take three days at most. I will come back and sit down with my brother. , I think there will be less trouble.”

Remembering to go to Qingfeng Village, after Wu Yong and others had lunch, they mounted the horses that had been fed with fodder, and the group went straight to Qingfeng Village. On the way, Shi Qian took half of the people with him to guard the peach trees sent by Taohua Mountain. Went back to Liangshan County to move reinforcements.

Besides, Qingfeng Village is one of the most important places in Qingzhou. It is located at the intersection of Qingzhou’s three roads, and its place name is Qingfeng Town. Because this three-way road leads to three dangerous mountains, Qingfeng Village was specially set up in Qingfeng Town.

The Qingfeng Village Yamen is located in the middle of the town. There is a small village in the south of Qingfeng Town, which is the residence of civil servant Liu Zhizhai, and the small village in the north is the residence of military attaché Hua Zhizhai.

Wu Yong inquired about it and went to Beizhai directly. Arriving at the head of the gate, I saw several military men guarding the gate. I asked their names and went in to report. I saw the young officer walking out of the village, holding Wu Yong back and saying, "How many times have I heard about my brother's reputation? How about Mr. Zhao?"

While asking, everyone was invited to enter the village.

Wu Yong replied: "Everything is fine with the official. Today, I am here to invite Huazhizhai to serve in Liangshan County on the order of the official."

After hearing this, Hua Rong said: "My family has been serving in the military for generations. When I came here, I only built a Wuzhi village here. I am really ashamed of my ancestors. But I am somewhat reluctant to leave this place and go to Liangshan County to serve." "

Seemingly seeing something wrong with Hua Rong's words, Wu Yong said: "There is no need to worry about Huazhi Village. Although Liangshan County is a Jimi County, it is recognized by the officials after all, and the official positions are serious."

Hua Rong said: "To be honest with you brother, I am not very happy here. This Qingfeng Village was originally guarded by my younger brother alone. There are strong men from far and near, and no one dares to bother me."

"Since Liu Gao of Wenzhi Village came to office, he has violated the law and done everything he can to defraud many tenants in this countryside. This has made Qingfeng Village a smoky atmosphere. My younger brother is a military attache and deputy Zhizhai, and he often gets angry with this guy. Fortunately, the court's law protects him. Otherwise, we must kill this shameless, filthy, thief and beast!"
