"When Li Zhi is rescued, Jiangzhou officers and soldiers will inevitably be alerted. At that time, the four brothers Yuan Lang, Dian, Ma Jin, and Ma Yi will lead their cavalry to disperse the pursuers and cover us to rescue people to the bank of the Bailong Temple River."
Although time was tight, after all, they had to cross the road to jump across the state, and come all the way to Jiangzhou to rob the prison, so Yuan Lang only led three to four hundred light cavalry under his command. However, relying on the ability of Yuan Lang and Ma Jin to rush into the formation in chaotic battles, Yuan Lang and Ma Jin
, the bravery of the three Jishan Five Tigers by Ma Yi, it would not be a problem for them to disrupt the pursuing army in a short period of time. After Xiao Tang told Yuan Lang and other close men in Shiliangshan, the four of them suddenly accepted the order.
Xiao Tang then said to Ou Peng, Jiang Jing, and Tao Zongwang: "When I wait to enter the city to rob the prison, I will ask the three brothers who led the team to lurk at the entrance of the prison camp to support me. I dare to rush out before the officers and soldiers in the city come out to arrest them."
In the Song Dynasty, prison camps in places such as Cangzhou and Mengzhou were mostly set up in remote places outside towns. Jiangzhou was known as "the mouth of three rivers and the thoroughfare of seven provinces" and "the most visible place in the world". When the Xiang army was guarding the river banks,
Lao Cheng Ying is located near the outside of Jiangzhou City (so after Song Jiang was paired, he could just walk into the city if he wanted to visit Dai Zong to reminisce about the past, or if he wanted to go to a tavern).
Not only the prison camp, but also Xiang troops were stationed. Due to the boom in commerce during the Song Dynasty, the night markets in the city usually did not open until after the third watch. Song Shenzong now ordered that all the gates in the old city of Bianjing be closed at three o'clock (until 11 o'clock at night).
One o'clock in the morning) and one o'clock at five o'clock (three o'clock to five o'clock), so although Xiao Tang and others were acting at night, it would be best if they could quietly rescue Li Zhi secretly.
When he was in prison, there was no guarantee that he would not be chased and intercepted by a large number of officers and soldiers in Jiangzhou City. Therefore, whether it was sneaking into the prison city to rescue people, coordinating at the gate of the camp, intercepting the pursuing officers and soldiers, and having ships on the river to meet them, etc.
You must be fully prepared.
Ou Peng and others also responded, and Xiao Tang decided to sneak into the prison with Yan Qing, Shi Xiu, and Ma Lin. Xiao Tang had appeared in the prison camp, and Yan Qing and Shi Xiu acted as Xiao Tang.
The cronies in Bianliang, Tokyo, were not easy to see clearly. They dressed in black and broke into the camp when they planned to wrap their mouths and noses with black cloth.
"Brother Xiao Tang, Xiao Yi found this thing in the city. Big brother can use it." At this time, Yan Qing suddenly said to Xiao Tang. When Xiao Tang looked over, he saw that what Yan Qing handed over was a piece of beast.
The mask was shaped like a unicorn, with a black body and a horn carved on her forehead. The mask was carved lifelike, ferocious and mighty, and seemed to be the Haechi, one of the legendary Chinese mythical beasts.
When Shi Xiu saw it next to him, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Isn't it unnecessary for Xiao Yi to do this? We just cover our mouths and noses so as not to show ourselves in front of those guys, so why do we need to ask my elder brother to wear this thing?"
Yan Qing said with a smile: "I also think that the elder brother decided to act righteously this time to rescue that Li Zhi. I'm afraid that in the future, when the elder brother wants to personally take action, he will have to do many more such righteous deeds. Since it's so bad, it's not convenient for the world to know it now.
The leader of the Five Mountains is actually Xiao Renxia, who is famous in the world and is an official of the imperial court, but he can also make the heroes of the green forest admire him with this other identity."
After hearing this, Shi Xiu frowned slightly and said, "But if you do this, I'm afraid it's a bit too showy, and if you act with this mask, won't it look too much?"
Yan Qing shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Xiao Tang can wear this mask to act, but brother Xiao Tang is not the only one who wears this mask."
When Yan Qing finished speaking, Xiao Tang immediately understood his intention: this Haezhi mask did represent his other identity, but it was somewhat inconvenient to be exposed in front of the government, so he used this mask to cover up his original identity.
Identity is not just a gimmick to attract attention. Xiao Tang can wear this Haechi mask, and so can any of the heroes of the five mountains and green forests under the green forest line.
Even if Xiao Tang attracted the attention of local officials when he acted with this mask, when he returned to the capital, the thief who wore the strange mask and openly robbed the prison could appear in Qingzhou, east of Beijing, or in Dengzhou, west of Beijing. Someone
After Gongzi Yu, the master of martial arts, puts on a bronze mask, Gongzi Yu can be Gongzi Yu, Yan Nanfei can also be Gong Ziyu, and even the protagonist Fu Hongxue in that masterpiece can also be Gong Ziyu. Although it is just a mask, it can also be Gongzi Yu.
It is enough to confuse the audience and listeners. Even if Xiao Tang sometimes acts in the green forest, it will be more difficult for people to guess his true identity.
When Xiao Tang took the dark and exquisite Haechi mask from Yan Qing, he stared at the head of the mythical beast that could distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, loyalty and traitor, and represented bravery and justice, just like the great writer Su Shi
It was once mentioned in the story "The Haechi Distinguishes the Good" in "Ai Zi Zashuo": Haechi can distinguish between good and bad, and when he finds a treacherous official, he knocks him down with his horns and eats him. He also lamented that if the imperial court today
If there is such a beast in the house, it will not have to look for other food... When Su Da Shi Zhang died, Song Huizong Zhao Ji had just ascended the throne. It was also a satire on the officialdom when treacherous officials and corrupt officials brought disaster to the imperial court.
It became more and more rampant, and the Song Dynasty court became increasingly ignorant and rotten.
In this case, why can't I do anything for this evil-eating Haechi?
Xiao Tang put the Haechi mask on his face, and he thought of those super heroes in American comics: he was a reporter from the Metropolis Daily Planet, he was also a person from Krypton with various super powers; he was a brother
A playboy from a wealthy family in Tan City, he is also the Dark Knight Batman who uses various high-tech equipment and powerful fighting skills at night to make criminals fearful; he is not only an ordinary student, but also has special physical induction and uses spider web shooters.
The elusive Spider-Man who haunts the metropolis; he is the prince of the Imperial Palace, a new official in the officialdom who is favored by today's officials, but he is also a man who punishes rape and eliminates evil, and commands the heroes in the green forest...who cares?
Xia.
Xiao Tang, who was wearing a Xie Zhi mask, looked around. Yan Qing and Shi Xiu smiled but said nothing. Yuan Lang, Gu Jian and others were amazed. The iron flute fairy Ma Lin saw it and shouted "interesting", but Xiao Tang couldn't see it.
I don't know what my current look is like.
At least Xiao Tang feels that he is quite popular.

"Don't talk about dying to meet the King of Hell, this will be the real hell..." At this time, Li Zhi, who was imprisoned in the prison camp of Jiangzhou, finally woke up after being tortured. He looked up at the black man through the prison window.
The night sky shrouded in clouds could not help but murmur.
Although Li Zhi cursed endlessly under the torture of the wolves and tigers in the small cell and refused to show weakness in front of the lackeys who abused officials, it was also because he knew very well that after his father's death, those officials he served as officials in Beijing
Each of his uncles has repeatedly been cunning and mean-spirited. He was persecuted and framed by powerful traitors just because he was afraid of Liang Shicheng's power in the palace. Now he has fallen into the hands of Cai Jiu, who had an old grudge.
What's the use?
I ask myself that I am worthy of heaven and earth in doing things. I follow my father's teachings, be loyal to my duties, and do good deeds. But God does not pity good people. Why do I end up like this? Why are only evil people happy in this world? Good people suffer?
In front of those cruel and cruel officials, Li Zhi had to fight even if he endured all kinds of hardships, but when he was alone, he could not help but feel sad and self-pitying. Stop it! He has suffered all kinds of torture and suffering, and now he is dead , isn’t it also a kind of relief? What’s more, I asked myself that I have never done any evil things without conscience in my life. Even if I enter the underworld and meet the real King of Hell, it will not be far better than being in this chaotic world and being persecuted by those loyal dog officials. Concocting a frame-up!?
With the thought of seeking death, Li Zhi sat up tremblingly. He looked around blankly in the damp, dim, and rancid prison. The porcelain bowls and plates had long been taken away by the small prisoner, and Li Zhi went to the prison again. Looking at the moldy prison wall, he could see that even if he had the guts to hit him head-on, he wouldn't have to suffer the consequences anymore. Let Cai Jiu and his lackeys get their wish! But Li Zhi struggled a few times and tried to stand up. But his body suddenly twitched, causing severe pain all over his body, and he fell to the cold ground again.
He doesn't even have the strength to seek death right now.
At this moment, he faintly heard a few muffled sounds coming from outside the prison. Li Zhi was slightly startled. He thought he had heard something wrong. But then he heard a muffled sound of "Boom!" again. He was stunned for a moment. The door of the cell where he was located shook, as if someone had pushed him in front of the door.
Seeing this, Li Zhi hurriedly stood up and crawled towards the cell door. He heard someone shouting in a low voice: "Li Zhi, who was tortured by you guys, is locked up here?"
At this time, I heard that the prisoner was going to pull him out and torture him from time to time. He just wanted to be happy. His two rows of teeth kept chatting, and he begged for mercy from the man: "Yes...yes... .Since these brave men have found the rightful owner, please spare the life of this villain."
After hearing this, Li Zhi's heart, filled with despair, suddenly seemed to be filled with a ray of light. Although he could not guess who would come to rescue him, it was obvious that he had hope of surviving a desperate situation. How could he not be happy?
"Look, you are used to torturing ordinary prisoners, but you know you are afraid of death? You asked grandpa to spare you, but grandpa refused to spare you!" After the words were finished, the sound of a sharp knife entering flesh was heard, and the small cell seemed to be covered. He closed his mouth, only whined twice and then fell silent.
"Sanlang, take the key from this guy and open the cell door. I'm afraid the other prisoners will be here soon." At this time, another man next to him said.
After another squeaking sound, Li Zhi heard a soft "crack" sound, and the door of the cell where he was was pushed open.
Both Li Jie and "Chuo Fa Shi" are historical facts. The character of Li Jie's father and brother was evaluated in "History of the Song Dynasty" as "repeatedly erratic, without any special qualities, and those who know it will be wrong", and "people think they are mean" is not fabricated. , but Li Zhi, the sky-mending hand, is an original character created for the "upgraded version" of the leader who oversees all matters under the protagonist's command.
