"Buzz!" was suddenly heard, and the long knife in Shi Jin's hand slashed into the air. Xiao Tang calmly raised his knife to block, but Shi Jin was shocked to the point of numbness. Shi Jin gritted his teeth and swung his knife to meet him.
, fighting fiercely with Xiao Tang.
After Shi Jin visited Xiao Tang, he exchanged pleasantries with Xiao Jiasui and Shi Xiu. After arriving at Xiao Tang's residence, he met Xiao Tang's other confidants one by one. When Xiao Tang held a banquet and had wine and conversation with Shi Jin,
, this Shi Dalang was still brooding over his defeat at the hands of Chen Liqing. Xiao Tang encouraged Shi Jin and also talked to him about the topic of guns, sticks, and fists. Shi Jin, who loved martial arts, became more and more speculative with Xiao Tang as they talked.
It was time to compete with Xiao Tang on some skills.
After sparring two or three times, Xiao Tang defeated Shi Jin within thirty rounds at most. However, seeing that Shi Jin still had high fighting spirit, he simply threw aside his sweat-soaked clothes, revealing nine circling and flying blue dragon tattoos. Even if he won,
He was helpless, but setbacks and failures were like dry wood, igniting the fighting spirit in his heart like a raging fire.
"This Shi Dalang has superb swordsmanship, and he is worthy of being a master who has been taught by Wang Jin. It's just his nature. He is a little reckless when competing with others, and it is easy for others to see his flaws, so he cannot win against the young master." Xiao Jiasui, who was watching from the sidelines.
Watching Xiao Tang and Shi Jin compete with each other, he said slowly.
Yan Qing, who is beside Xiao Jiasui, won the Golden Stage with Xiao Tang and Xu Guanzhong a few years ago. Tan Zhengfang taught martial arts and witnessed how Xiao Tang has come down step by step over the years and achieved the level of martial arts he has today.
He is a thoughtful person, so he chuckled and said, "I understand why Brother Xiao attaches great importance to Brother Shi Jin, whom he has never met before..."
When Xiao Jiasui and Yan Qing were talking, they saw Xiao Tang's two swords suddenly intertwined, and with five or six consecutive moves, Shi Jin was forced to retreat. Shi Jin jumped back and jumped out of the circle. He let out a long sigh, his face full of admiration.
He said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Tang is really good at skills! But my little brother's little ability is not as good as my brother's."
After hearing this, Xiao Tang smiled implicitly and said: "Brother Shi Jin has been learning martial arts with instructor Wang Jin for less than a year. It is already very rare to have such attainments. If we continue to study hard and practice hard, we can compete with the first-class figures in the world."
.”
It is said that now Shi Jin is proficient in swords and sticks, and his martial arts has surpassed what he could have originally achieved. However, when he thought of his defeat to a woman like Chen Liqing, Shi Jin, who was very angry, couldn't help but feel annoyed: "But
During the sword competition, I still lost to that woman. Now that I know the whereabouts of the father and daughter, I will definitely look for her and compete again. Once this is revealed, I feel disgusted!"
Xiao Tang thought about what he knew about Chen Xizhen and Chen Liqing in the book, and shook his head and said: "That Chen Liqing is not only good at using the sword, but I heard that she was born with supernatural powers. Chen Xizhen taught her all his life skills, and taught her how to
I am average. But Chen Liqing is also good at marksmanship, and has also learned to be good at bows and arrows. She can hit a hundred hits and pierce through poplars. It is said that she is also called the 'Female Flying Guard'."
After hearing this, Shi Xiu couldn't help but snorted and said: "What a big statement! Brother Hua Rong calls him 'Xiao Li Guang', but she calls her 'Female Flying Guard'. Brother Hua Rong's ability with bows and arrows is beyond me."
You know it, but who is a woman?"
"But that father and daughter should not be underestimated..." Yan Qing said: "Although Chen Liqing is a female classmate, there are not many people in our family who can beat her in terms of martial arts. And Chen Xizhen's fists and kicks
It's quite subtle, and the moves seem to belong to Taoist Taoism. Besides, the father and daughter are quite hostile to Brother Xiao, so we have to be careful when dealing with them."
"Why are you afraid of him? Aren't Niu Er, Wang Qing, and Gao Yanei all tyrannical figures in Bianliang, Tokyo, and now we have eliminated them all?" Shi Xiu sneered, and then said to Xiao Tang: " Brother, why don’t you just leave this matter to me, and I’ll go find them to take care of it myself!”
"I'm afraid it's not just the two of them that we have to deal with in the future." Xiao Tangzhong secretly said that Chen Xizhen represents a group, and those who have interacted with him are not just Liu Guang and others who have died long ago. He With Chen Liqing appearing in the capital, I am afraid that there will be forces such as Fengyun Village, Yuanbi Village, and Zhaojia Village in Hebei, Shandong and other places. With the development of several green forest villages under his command, sooner or later there will be a war with those forces. , and although he is far more powerful than Chen Xizhen now, just as he secretly commanded Lu Zhishen, Xi Sheng, Yuan Lang and other copycat village owners, Chen Xizhen, who has taken refuge in Gao Qiu, is also very likely to win over those mortal enemies of the Water Margin people.
The rapid growth of the cottage in the green forest is also imminent...
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang asked Yan Qing again: "Xiao Yi, has the money, food and materials allocated by Brother Yang Xu been transported to Erlong Mountain?"
After hearing this, Yan Qing replied to Xiao Tang: "Brother, there is no need to worry. A letter has been sent from Daming Mansion. Brother Yang Lin's thirty peace cars have set off. It is estimated that in due time, they should have been transported to Dazhai, Erlong Mountain."
On the official road not far from Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou, a group of chariots and escorts drove straight into the mountains. At this moment, several groups of strong men suddenly emerged from the mountains on both sides and rushed towards the chariots and escorts.
When the man sitting in the front car saw this group of strong men, he stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhishen, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing lately?"
The leader of those teams of strong men was none other than Lu Zhishen, the leader of Dazhai in Erlong Mountain. He laughed loudly and said: "It turns out that Brother Yang Lin is here in person, and we can have more wine with him!"
Just as he was talking, Lu Zhishen saw that the pockmarked man next to Yang Lin was a brother he had known since he was still in the army in Yan'an Prefecture, and he smiled again and said: "Brother Tang Long, why are you here too?"
Tang Long cupped his fists at Lu Zhishen and said: "My younger brother listened to brother Xiao Tang's instructions and brought dozens of craftsmen to join brother Yang Lin in Zizhou. He came to the village to help brother Zhishen. He set up a workshop in the village to build a variety of ordnance. Regarding weapons, I can also come in handy."
"Good luck! The Sa family knows how good our brothers are. There is really a lack of a leader like you who is good at making weapons in the village!" Lu Zhishen said with a smile: "The Sa family heard that you and brother Xu Ning are cousins. At this time, he and brother Lin Chong The young boy is practicing his spear skills in the stronghold, and he will definitely be happy to know that you have also moved to the stronghold!"
The men driving horses and carts were all Yang Lin's associates in the Damingfu escort agency. They also clasped their fists and sang to the strongman leader next to Lu Zhishen. The two groups joined together and rushed to Erlongshan Baozhu Temple. .
While talking to Lu Zhishen, Yang Lin asked again: "Brother Zhishen is taking care of the affairs of the village, is everything going well?"
Lu Zhishen laughed and said: "Since we brought in brother Lin Chong, brothers Yang Zhi and Xu Ning, and several brothers from Huangmenshan who came to vote, it has become even more powerful! These small-minded people in the Sa family are looking for people to exploit the villagers. We went to fight against the evil gentry and captured four villages and towns, seizing more than 100,000 guan of money and more than 6,000 stones of grain and grass. Excluding the food distributed to the villagers in various places, it was enough for the children to eat for about half a year."
Yang Lin nodded when he heard this, and asked Lu Zhishen: "How many people are there in the village now?"
"Taking into account the 400 troops of Brother Oupeng in Huangmen Mountain and the 1,000 troops surrendered by Jiangzhou Laocheng Camp, there are now about 5,000 people in Erlong Mountain Dazhai. In the village of Brother Sun An in Qingfeng Mountain,
There are also three thousand troops."
Yang Lin was surprised when he heard this. He said happily: "When we conquered these two fortresses, they only had a thousand men and horses together, but now they have reached this size!"
"Didn't Brother Yang Lin transport money and grain to avoid the worries of the village? After breaking the nearby village, the Sa family also opened a warehouse to distribute grain according to the instructions of Brother Xiao Tang. When the grain and grass were distributed to the people in various places and the refugees, many of them were affected
The villagers who are used to mermaid meat are clamoring to join the gang! There are hundreds in a village and nearly a thousand people in a town. As Brother Xiaotang said, the chaos of the world has become so messy that it forces good people to rush to be strong men.
!”
Having said this, Lu Zhishen's face became a little more angry. At this moment, seeing the dust rolling in the distance, he saw two more leaders galloping in with dozens of horses, but they were Yang Zhi and Zhu Jing.
Yang Lin knew Zhu Jing when they were together at Xiao Jia Gathering in Daming Mansion, but it was the first time he met Yang Zhi. When he saw the green mark on Yang Zhi's face, he clasped his fists and said, "You are here, the green-faced beast Yang Zhi brother? I'm in the Jin Dynasty."
Leopard Yang Lin, please hear more about your brother’s name!”
Yang Zhi reined in the reins, clasped his fists at Yang Lin and said in return: "The Sa family also knows that Brother Yang Lin has been following brother Xiao Tang for a long time, and the supply of money, food and weapons for the village requires brothers to work hard. Today, I finally get to meet my brothers, and I can directly teach the Sa family.
happiness!"
Yang Lin and Tang Long exchanged greetings with Yang Zhi and Zhu Jing. Seeing the dozens of cavalry they led, each of them were strong, tall and full of energy, Yang Lin couldn't help but praise: "Brother Zhishen and Brother Yang Zhi are indeed
The people who come out of the Western Army are all good soldiers!"
"Brothers Lin Chong and Xu Ning have contributed the most to this."
After Lu Zhishen finished speaking, he chuckled and added: "Over at Qingfeng Mountain, brother Sun An alone led a thousand cavalry troops, and brothers Jiao Ting and Bao Xu each led a thousand infantry troops; on Erlong Mountain, the Sa family allocated a thousand men.
The Dazhai of Baozhu Temple is guarded by Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing. Brother Yang Zhi is the general, brother Zhu Jing is the deputy general and leads an army of 1,000 cavalry, brother Ou Peng is the general, and brother Ma Lin is the deputy general and leads an army of 1,000 infantry.
, plus the thousand infantry troops commanded by the Sa family, with brother Lin Chong as the chief instructor of the Shanzhai troops and horses, and brother Xu Ning as the deputy instructor for training the three soldiers and horses. There are also brothers Jiang Jing who have calculated the money and food expenses, and brother Ling Zhen alone leads a hundred
The gunners made stone artillery tools, and the two brothers Li Zhi and Tao Zongwang supervised the construction of the city wall and built and repaired the houses... The rest was fine, except that there were still more than 500 horses in the stronghold according to the quota.
I have to worry about Brother Yang Lin."
Yang Lin nodded when he heard this and replied to Lu Zhishen: "I understand. When I return to Daming Mansion, I will inform Brother Duan Jingzhu, who is in charge of the horse herding prison."
As they talked along the way, under the leadership of Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, and Zhu Jing, Yang Lin and his bodyguards finally arrived at the main peak of Erlong Mountain. However, when Yang Lin and Tang Long faintly saw the dangerous mountains on both sides surrounding the Baozhu Temple, standing in front of it.
When he passed three dangerous passes on the mountain road, he was immediately dumbfounded.
