Chapter 91 The Different Erlong Mountain
The border between Qingzhou and Zibo.
Shi Jin, Zhu Wu and Sun Erniang from Shaohua Mountain arrived with the vanguard.
Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Zheng, Lu Zhishen and Hu Sanniang came to welcome their arrival.
"I am Zhao Long, known as the Dragon Slayer, welcome all the heroes from Shaohua Mountain to Qingzhou!"
Now Zhao Kuangyin has gradually become the second-ranked person in Erlong Mountain, and the first one is naturally the Leopard Head Lin Chong.
"Cao Zheng!"
"I have met you all in Xia Hu Sanniang!"
"Haha, the Sa family is Lu Zhishen, Shi Jin, Sun Erniang, and Zhu Wu. We have been waiting for you for a long time."
The two sides got to know each other, then exchanged greetings, and then went to Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou together.
All seven of them rode on horseback. Zhao Kuangyin and his friends ate a flag on Erlong Mountain, and the words were unobstructed. Many people along the way even greeted each other and praised Erlong Mountain.
Sun Erniang said in surprise: "Lu Zhishen, what have you done? Why are you so popular among the people?"
It shouldn't be. It's the same as the fallen grass. Shaohua Mountain was called to be beaten and killed. Why are you Erlong Mountain popular everywhere? It's the same as the fallen grass. The gap is so big, it's unreasonable!
Although Sun Erniang heard about the rumors in Erlong Mountain in the past one or two years, she still felt it was exaggerating at the time. Now it seems that she has not had enough knowledge!
Lu Zhishen smiled and said, "Our Erlong Mountain is not a bandit mountain now. We do good deeds for the people every day. Help them fight bandits, help them deal with ruffians and bullies, help them uphold justice, and help them live a stable life... They will naturally say that Erlong Mountain is good."
Shi Jin asked curiously: "The government doesn't care about you? I heard that you are very close to the government now?"
Lu Zhishen laughed at this question: "The governments praise us and often publicize the good things we have done for Erlong Mountain."
Is there such a good thing?
It is too abnormal that the government does not savor the people, does not surround the bandits, but instead helps.
Zhu Wu now figured it out, was shocked and looked at Zhao Kuangyin: "Leader Zhao Long, it seems that you are planning something, and your goal is very big."
Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "It is not convenient to talk about this on the road, and the leaders of Erlong Mountain will naturally have the right to know."
They set off in the morning and arrived at Erlong Mountain near the evening.
Around Erlong Mountain, Shi Jin and others discovered that there were many houses.
Unbelievable, are there so many people living around the gathering of bandits waiting to be robbed?
Seeing the surprise of Shi Jin and others, Hu Sanniang explained: "Now, 30% of the people living around Erlong Mountain are the families of Erlong Mountain brothers, 20% are the original people, and the remaining 50% are the workers recruited by Erlong Mountain Workshop. Erlong Mountain gives them wages, and they are responsible for making goods."
So that's it.
However, Shi Jin and the others were curious that there were so many people here, half of whom worked for Erlongshan. What business was Erlongshan doing?
Lu Zhishen smiled and said, "Do you know the hero bar?"
Sun Erniang continued: "I know. It was brewed in Liangshan. I was selling it in my store before, and it was the best wine. Later, Liangshan was recruited for a while, but now it has appeared again, and it is larger than before.
You won’t say that Erlongshan got the method of brewing Hero wine, right?”
Zhu Wu guessed: "Lu Zhishen, you who came from Liangshan must have a way to get the brewing method of hero wine, or the people who created this brewing method also came to Erlong Mountain."
Hu Sanniang said in surprise: "You are worthy of being the Shenji Military Advisor. You guessed it. This liquor was originally invented by the Zhang Hao brothers. He went to Erlong Mountain with us, and of course he brought the method of brewing liquor here."
So that's it!
Sun Erniang said: "Zhang Hao, Tiangang Zhang Hao, along with the Earth Demon Zhang Ke, the Dragon Slayer Zhao Long, and the Three Heroes, have done many good things such as heroes and righteousness, seeing injustice and helping each other, and being admired by the people of the martial arts world. Now we only see the Dragon Slayer Zhao Long. We are very curious about the Zhang brothers."
Lu Zhishen said: "Brothers Zhang Hao and Zhang Ke know that you are coming, they have returned to Erlong Mountain and will see you soon."
Not long after, they came to the foot of Erlong Mountain and met Zhang Hao and Jing Ke.
Not only the two of them, but more than 30 leaders of Erlong Mountain were here, all of whom came here to welcome Shi Jin and others from Shaohua Mountain.
Yang Zhi and Lin Chong were in the front, and Yang Zhi was still the leader on the surface.
"Welcome to Erlong Mountain from Shaohua Mountain!"
The situation was quite large and very grand, and Shi Jin and the others were a little flattered.
There are more than a thousand people in Shaohua Mountain. Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Sun Erniang and others will bring some people first, and then several groups of people will arrive one after another.
Although Shi Jin and the others joined Erlong Mountain, Shaohua Mountain was not abandoned and some people would still be arranged to stay behind and would become a stronghold in Erlong Mountain in the future.
Nowadays, Liangshan, Taohua Mountain, Baihu Mountain and other places that can be guarded are under the control of Erlong Mountain in both open and secret.
Some of these places are used to open workshops, some are used to hide their troops and train their troops quietly, and some are used to hoard some money and food.
The current military forces in Erlong Mountain are also dark and bright. The ones on Erlong Mountain have more than a thousand people, trained by Lin Chong and Yang Zhi.
It is secretly divided into two parts, part of which is hidden in other places. For example, there are three thousand soldiers and horses hidden in Liangshan, and Shi Wengong and Hu Sanniang are responsible for the training.
There are also some soldiers from the government, such as the soldiers from Qingzhou have been handed over to Yue Fei for training. On the surface, Yue Fei has nothing to do with Erlongshan, but he is the head coach of the government's Qingzhou.
There are not many people on Erlong Mountain, mainly because the leaders live with their families, and some people who assist in their lives.
Therefore, the sky is not too crowded.
Some people who come to visit Erlong Mountain will feel that Erlong Mountain only has one or two thousand people, with an average scale, and are focused on doing business and doing righteousness, without any other thoughts.
This makes Erlong Mountain feel relieved on the surface. Although Erlong Mountain is not easy to provoke, it cannot cause great storms. This is the feeling.
The Erlong Mountain seems to be as lively as Shaohua Mountain, but it is orderly and is not a scene occupied by the bandits. It makes people feel that it is not a thief's nest, but a sacred place with openness and extraordinary momentum.
Sun Erniang sighed: "Why do I feel like I have come to Erlong Mountain? I am no longer a bandit. I have transformed into a hero. I feel inexplicably a sense of glory and pride! This is like a holy place! How did you do it?"
Let’s look at Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Zhang Hao, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others. They have a bit of a bandit atmosphere, and they are more like knights, like a group of ambitious people with great ambitions and high fighting spirit.
In about a month, most of the people from Shaohua Mountain had arrived at Erlong Mountain. Then, Shi Jin, Zhu Wu, Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing, Chen Da, Yang Chun and others from Erlong Mountain officially became sworn brothers with all the leaders of Erlong Mountain and officially joined Erlong Mountain.
