On the escort road to Mizhou, Xiao Tang was unhappy. He still thought about what Bao Xu said to him that day. He was indeed not a sage who enlightened all living beings. Everyone has their own fate and fate. This was not him. Xiao Tang can control it.
Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing have not yet opened a black shop in Cross Slope. Xiao Tang can take them into his residence so that they will not do such crazy evil deeds. But Bao Xu has become such a temperament after going through many hardships, and he has his own reasons for the difficulties.
Not to mention that Bao Xu was wanted by the state government and had committed countless murders. Even if Xiao Tang wanted to protect him, even though the mourning keeper would give him some face, he would never condescend to ask for Xiao Tang's protection. .
What Xiao Tang also thought about was that these rebellious but bloody Jianghu grasslands had not yet reached the time to really show off their talents: it is currently the third year of Daguan, which is 11o9 AD, and there will be two more years of Daguan. In the first year of Zhenghe of the Song Dynasty, starting from Gao Qiu's persecution of the leader Wang Jin, and during the Jiayou period of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, Hong Taiwei mistakenly released Tiangang Disha, and the main story of Water Margin will unfold...
In the fourth year of Zhenghe, Wanyan Aguda general swore to conquer the Liao Dynasty by the bank of Lailiu River; in the seventh year of Zhenghe, Song Jiang made a big fuss in Jiangzhou and took the second place in Liangshan; in the official history of the first year of Xuanhe (1119), Song Jiang rebelled; in the second year of Xuanhe, Song Jiang rebelled The Maritime Alliance between the Song and Jin Dynasties was reached, and in the same year Manichae Fangla revolted; in the fifth year of Xuanhe's reign, Liangshan heroes Ping Tianhu and Wang Qing revolted... And in the first year of Jingkang (1126), luck was at a The peak Jurchen cavalry will sharpen their swords and march south...
History has proved that the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty alone could not withstand that catastrophe. It was difficult for Xiao Tang alone to reverse the weak military and political situation in the Song Dynasty, and those heroes and green forest righteous men who still had such passion We should not lose our lives in vain prematurely in internal strife.
Xiao Tang was thinking about it along the way. Unconsciously, he had already traveled for several days. The escort team had already entered the boundary of Jingdong East Road, passed Qizhou, and arrived at the intersection of Zizhou and Qingzhou. Xiao Tang and his party passed by Under the hill, you can see that there are sparse private houses forming a village and town. There is a tomb in the pine forest on the hill, with about a dozen thatched cottages next to it.
Xue Yong reported to Xiao Tang: "Young Master, go over the Centipede Ridge in front of you and walk for ten days to the Kongjiazhuang in Baihu Mountain. Then pass through Qingfeng Town in Qingfeng Mountain and then enter the boundary of Qingzhou."
Xiao Tang recalled the story in Water Margin. In the original work, Wu Erlang was in the Yuanyang Tower where blood was spattered. After he disguised himself as a tutuo to help Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang at Mengzhou Cross Slope, he passed through Centipede Ridge and beheaded the Flying Centipede King Taoist. Later, he Kongjiazhuang in Baihu Mountain and Song Jiang met by chance, and then they parted ways at a fork in the road. Wu Song went to Erlong Mountain, while Song Jiang went to Qingfeng Village to look for Xiao Li Guanghuarong, which later led to him causing trouble in Qingzhou and making money from the design of the rubble yard. Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, thus gathering his first group of close men after going to Liangshan...
He saw that the hills were peaceful, and he saw villagers walking around from time to time, and no Taoist priests were seen. It seemed that the Taoist Wang who was killed by Wu Song when he was surrendering to Erlong Mountain had not yet come to Centipede Ridge and died. No. Flying Centipede.
As for the two disciples of Song Jiang, Kong Ming, the hairy star of Kongjiazhuang, and Kong Liang, the only star... it doesn't mean much whether they meet or not. Not only are these two people of low ability, they would worship a martial arts three-legged cat like Song Jiang as their teacher. .
Moreover, the characters of these two people were extremely bad. The murders involved in Water Margin were either due to war or revenge. However, after the death of Mrs. Kong, these two "competed with a rich man in their hometown and left him alone." "Kill all the good ones and the low ones." Then they arrived at Baihu Mountain and Luocao. With such a person and ability, why should we make friends with him?
As for Qingfeng Mountain, not to mention, Yan Shun, the golden-haired tiger, was a cruel person who cut people's hearts and drank sobering soup; Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger, was a lustful devil and a villain who later married Hu Sanniang's father with the help of Song Jiang. He is evil and despicable; although Zheng Tianshou, the white-faced gentleman in charge of the third family, has no despicable evil deeds, what good can he learn from it?
The route this time was not like that of more than two years ago when Su Jinniang, Wu Song, Deng Fei and others passed through Peach Blossom Mountain before arriving in Qingzhou. Thinking of the little overlord Zhou Tong on Peach Blossom Mountain who always wanted to grab a wife to be the wife of the village, Xiao Tang couldn't help but wonder. Heart smiles.
Some time ago, Xiao Tang had already sent people to Taohua Mountain to give Zhou Tong 500 taels of silver as a reward for his financial support. It also made it easier for Zhou Tong to leave when the escort agency passes by his boundary on Jingdong East Road in the future. The idea of robbing the bodyguards. Zhou Tong had already known that Xiao Tang's reputation in Daming Mansion was getting better and better, so he could sell some favors, so he agreed without any hesitation.
I guess the daughter of Mrs. Liu in Peach Blossom Village at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain in the original work will soon grow into a eldest daughter, right? When Zhou Tong starts to think about it again, he will be beaten up by Lu Zhishen, who is a flower monk... Thinking of this, Xiao Tang suddenly felt that the little overlord was extremely unlucky.
I heard Xue Yong say again: "Brother Yang Lin was walking around Jingdong Road some time ago. The three leaders of Baihu Mountain and the two tigers of Qingfeng Mountain all know each other. Even though they were promised some benefits, they also promised not to come looking for us. The escort business is unlucky. There is a thief at the Baozhu Temple on Erlong Mountain called Golden-Eyed Tiger Deng Long, but he is a treacherous man. Although we will not go through his Erlong Mountain this time, we are afraid that he will go down the mountain. If you come looking for it, you should be more careful."
The two tigers of Qingfeng Mountain? The fair-faced man Zheng Tianshou of Zhemon has not fallen into the trap of becoming the third person in Qingfeng Mountain? Xiao Tang thought to himself, as for Deng Long of Erlong Mountain, he is narrow-minded and not very capable. Only Lu Zhishen can do it. He was killed until he couldn't come out of seclusion and didn't dare to fight. This person really shouldn't be taken seriously.
Also, he didn’t expect that there would be people occupying the mountain as bandits at this time of year in Baihu Mountain. Xiao Tang asked Xue Yong again: “There are strong men falling off the grass in Baihu Mountain now. Do you know where they came from?”
Xue Yong recalled it carefully and replied to Xiao Tang: "Young Master Hao Jiao learned that from brother Yang Lin, the three strong men who fell into the grass on Baihu Mountain were called 'Yundiao' Zhou Fang and 'Blue Eyed Owl' respectively. 'Zhao She' and 'Ghost Lynx' Luo Li were only two to three hundred minions, but their methods were ruthless. Nine out of ten business travelers who were robbed on the way to Baihu Mountain lost their lives."
Xiao Tang snorted coldly. He was an official of the Daming Mansion on East Hb Road. It was difficult to cross the boundaries of Qingzhou on East Jingdong Road. His troops on this trip were all just bodyguard Xiang Yong, but these three unknown rats If you really dare to offend, it won't matter if you try to get rid of them...
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Xiao Tang and his men walked for a few more days. At this time, at Baihu Mountain in Qingzhou, they saw:
The sun sets on the west mountain, and the sky turns blood red. The forest is dark and gloomy, and the strange rocks are rugged. In the gorge, biting tigers and wolves roar loudly, and in the cave, the shrill and dark wind roars. As we meander forward on the rugged road, our figure gradually disappears into the mountains and fields. This is a mountain tour with green pines and cypresses.
It’s a good place for water, but I don’t know how many innocent and poor people have been killed by the thugs in the mountains.
Suddenly, a horse galloped into the dangerous mountains and waters, turned around a few times along the mountain path, and rode the horse to an evil village. The man got off his horse, entered the main hall of the village, and faced a man sitting in the middle of the village.
The leader reported: "Master, the escort car of the Xiao family of Daming Mansion will pass through our Baihu Mountain in a few days!"
Sitting there was none other than Baiyundiao Zhou Fang, the big leader of Baihu Mountain. He had a fierce face and a tall stature, but at this moment he looked hesitant and remained silent.
Zhao She, the second leader, saw it and said: "Master, that escort car is rich in oil and water, are we really going to just let it go?"
Zhou Fang glared at Zhao She and cursed in a deep voice: "At least we have received the benefits of the brocade leopard from the Xiao family of Daming Palace. We green forest thieves also have to say 'faithful'. If we touch his escort team, wouldn't we?
To make the people in the world laugh at you?"
Zhao She and the three leaders Luo Li repeatedly said yes, but they secretly cursed in their hearts: Since the three of us have become bandits, how can you care about our integrity? I'm afraid you have listened to Gaizhou Niu Wenzhong and moved him.
Xiao Tang's escort car in Daming Mansion was eradicated within a few days. Even the most powerful Green Forest Road in Hedong Road and Gaizhou was wiped out by Xiao Tang, so you were frightened and did not dare to look for it.
That Xiao Tang's bad luck.
But seeing that the village was short of money and food, and its life was getting worse day by day, Zhao She frowned and said, "But our village is short of money and food. If we don't rob and accumulate some food for the village, I'm afraid that when the officers and soldiers come to encircle and suppress it,
They can't stand it."
Luo Li also said angrily after hearing this: "But this Kongjiazhuang is at the foot of the mountain, and the fat meat right next to your mouth can't be eaten all the time. This makes no sense!"
Zhou Fang snorted and said, "You tell me I don't want to go down the mountain to borrow food? But I heard that the two young masters in Kongjiazhuang, Mao Touxing and Du Xingxing, are both disciples of Shiyu Song Yasi in Zc County, Yunzhou, SD. Then Song Yasi
In recent years, his reputation in Jingdong has become more and more famous, and he is praised as a figure of SD Hu Baoyi. I am willing to make friends with him, so how can I touch his apprentice's property? "
Zhao She and Luo Li also lamented after hearing this. Xiao Tang and Song Jiang, one hb Hu Baoyi and the other SD Hu Baoyi, are both untouchable people. They are robbers who only care about others.
The look in his eyes is quite depressing.
Luo Li thought about it and said: "Brother, why don't we lead a group of troops to attack Qingfeng Town, where the people are rich and there is a lot of money and food. The golden-haired tigers and short-footed tigers on Qingfeng Mountain are cowardly and do not dare to plunder that town.
, but we are not as ignorant as them."
When Zhao She heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Yeah! We don't have much friendship with Yanshun and Wang Ying. They don't have the ability to rob Qingfeng Town, so let us do it! It won't be in vain for the three of us brothers.
name!"
After Zhou Fang heard this, he straightened up and exhaled the irritation in his heart and said sternly: "That's right! How can you save the trouble if you just sit back and wait for others to cut off the path and rob some merchants who are passing by alone!" Send the order to the young men.
Get ready, let's go to Qingfeng Town to borrow food!!"
