Early in the morning, the small market in front of Dulonggang, in the open space in front of the inn. Among the three brothers of the Qi family, Qi Xinyi and Qi Xinhan are fighting empty-handed, confirming their martial arts, Qi Xinyong supervised a few guards who followed to squatt, and the shopkeeper drove a few chickens past the side, on the other side, Ning Yi, who was dressed gorgeously, was silently chanting "one, two, two, three, four" while doing jumping sports, because he felt a sense of shame for this kind of sport, everyone avoided him and hid far away. On the road ahead, the teacher in the Zhuangzi was leading the villagers who got up in the morning to walk over, Luan Tingyu took the octagonal mixed copper stick in his hand, glanced at this side, and then turned away after a slight pause.

After doing such maverick radio gymnastics, he sat at the table in front of the inn drinking tea and thinking about things, his fingers dipped in tea and drew on the table, when Wang Shanyue came out, he hit a set of punches in front of him, and after retracting his breath, he came over and sat down.

Ning Yi was sitting there, leaning on the back of the chair, looking up in a daze in the image of a rich boy, after Wang Shanyue poured himself a cup of tea, he asked, "Young Master Lei, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm wondering if I should go out for a walk today......

"Huh? Aren't you going to wait here? ”

"There's a lot of mess." Ning Yi sighed, then sat up straight, and tapped his fingers on the simple map drawn by the water stains on the desktop, "But I still won't go...... Zheng Biao. ”

"Huh?"

Wang Shanyue frowned, glanced at Ning Yi, and then looked at the simple illustration on the table, but in this case, he actually couldn't see anything: "That...... Demon King Zheng? ”

"I should have slaughtered a small village last night. The next should be on the side of Wuji Mountain, if the Wurui battalion dispatches two or three thousand people. I can wrap him in dumplings, but forget it for the sake of the big picture......"

"Why not?" Wang Shanyue spread her hands, "Before the big battle, it is necessary to let the Wurui Battalion fight a small victory, not to mention that this Zheng Demon King is strong in martial arts, he has been leading people to kill around, which will only increase the momentum of Liangshan." ”

"It's all a small bandit village of forty or fifty people, at most hundreds of people, who don't accept Liangshan. He was leveled one by one. Now there are only four of them beaten by him. It is estimated that there will not be much oil and water. It's better to wait, when he kills more people and has enough oil and water on hand, then let the Wurui battalion go out to sweep him. Otherwise, these soldiers are in the army. There is no benefit in winning a battle. The motivation is not too high. On the other hand. It can also make people like Dulonggang and Wanjialing know the ruthlessness of Liangshan. Ning Yi poured himself a cup of tea, "However, is Zheng Biao strong in martial arts?" ”

"It's amazing, isn't it?" Wang Shanyue nodded.

"I didn't think much of it before......"

"Young Master Lei knows him?"

"Oh. There have been several encounters. Ning Yi nodded, "When I was in Hangzhou a few years ago, I had a little conflict with his master. ”

Wang Shanyue looked at him and was silent for a moment: "What happened later?" ”

"Later, Zheng Biao's master let him die."

"Well, Bao Daoyi."

Qi Xinyi, who was practicing martial arts over there, walked over, sat down next to him, and interjected. Wang Shanyue was speechless, Ning Yi raised his glass to drink tea, and recalled the situation in Hangzhou: "I only know that he wanted to cry out for Lao Bao, and he was almost hacked to death, and when he saw me a few times later, he didn't have a good eye, and he looked a bit like a crab." Later, Chengpo was captured, and he was arrested and escorted to Beijing, he should have been rescued when he crossed Jiangning, and I was not very impressed with him. ”

When I was in Hangzhou, most of the people around me were Liu Watermelon, Chen Fan and other characters, Chen Fan assassinated Bao Daoyi on the street, and he almost succeeded in fighting dozens of people alone, even if it was Liu Tiannan, the head of Badaozhuang, Ning Yi, the nickname of "Sleeve Treasure", has always felt very stylish, and I am afraid that he is also a master who can match Bao Daoyi. For Bao Daoyi, a disciple, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, maybe it was not much worse than Bao Daoyi in martial arts.

At that time, he shouted to Bao Daoyi to make trouble, and his words angered Liu Dabiao too much, and the girl pulled out a knife and cut people on the Golden Palace, if it weren't for Fang Baihua and Deng Yuanjue, it is estimated that this Zheng Biao would have been hacked to death. Ning Yi had heard of this.

There is nothing to remember about such a friendship, and even if you really see it, you won't be in tears. Recalling, Ning Yi was curious about Wang Shanyue's skills: "There is nothing to do left and right, if Brother Wang is free, you and I might as well come and join hands and have a discussion?" Wang Shanyue hesitated slightly, and then agreed.

Then the two got into a fight, and after a few punches and kicks to each other, they were somewhat disappointed.

Ning Yi's martial arts mainly come from all kinds of tricks, the ruthlessness when fighting for his life, and the trap-style kung fu taught by Lu Hong. On the other hand, the wolf thieves led by Wang Shanyue are quite notorious in this area, but their martial arts are only not much higher than Ning Yi at this time. After the beating, each person took an egg to apply to the wounds on their faces, and they must have been even more confused about each other's skills.

However, although these days have been official exchanges, and there is not much personal friendship, there are still some things to say between the two. Wang Shanyue's face was puzzled: "Young Master Lei's kung fu ...... It's not too high......"

"I practiced martial arts a little late, and I didn't start practicing from a young age. Eat with your head. ”

"I have been weak since I was a child, and when I was a child, my family invited a master to teach me martial arts, also to make my body a little stronger, and then I really practiced, but I couldn't practice too well." Wang Shanyue's expression was indifferent, but she was obviously a little unwilling to do so.

Ning Yi said: "That little brother is strange, in this way, how did the wolf thief make a name for himself here?" ”

Wang Shanyue's eyes turned cold, and she got up and prepared to leave: "Killing people depends on ruthlessness, and if they eat people, they will be afraid." ”

Ning Yi frowned: "Really cannibalism? "Before he came, Qin Siyuan said that Wang Shanyue's temperament was a little extreme, and after getting to know him, he also probably understood this, but he was still a little puzzled by the rumors of wolf thieves eating people. When he was in Hangzhou, there were many fierce and evil people in the army under Fang La, and there were all kinds of bad rumors, but if they really used cannibalism as a means of fun or fame, then there was no one.

Hearing him talk about this, Wang Shanyue glanced at him coldly. After a moment, he turned around and left: "You will have a chance to know the Tao in the future." ”

At the moment, the private communication within this small group has no effect on what will happen with it. In the sound of cicadas in summer, there are many fewer merchants coming and going in the small market. The atmosphere in the three Zhuangzi in Dulonggang was tense, but in such an era, except for some people at the top, in fact, it was not easy for ordinary people to predict what would happen. Trained during the day, the rumor that Liang Shan might call over is also spreading, but everyone is still lucky in their hearts. Hope is only a momentary sensitivity.

This is in between. It's not just the Zhuang household, even the young people like Hu Cheng and Hu Sanniang, although they are already making preparations, they still hope that things won't happen. There is only Zhu Biao, the third son of Zhujiazhuang. All day long, I was looking forward to the coming of the war. I am going to give the bandits in Liangshan a good look. From time to time, he went to the school field to compete with the powerful young people in Zhuangzhong, and he felt that "my big gun is already hungry and thirsty", and he is strong in martial arts. For a while, it also drove the atmosphere of preparation for Zhujiazhuang, and a group of young people were gearing up and their morale was quite high.

In such an atmosphere, Lei Fenggongzi, who came to do business, was occasionally interspersed, but it was a tiny existence that did not have much to do with the armed defense of the three Zhuangzi. For Sanzhuang, this Lei Gongzi came over, he was burdened with the task of family business, and when he was in Dulonggang, he brought other subordinates who were also purchasing various things around, and in the past two days, there were also big cars coming over, all of which were all kinds of goods bought nearby.

Although he verbally said that he didn't care about business, this Lei Gongzi was actually very good at doing business. And the chirping and crooked chivalrous righteousness in his mouth, why don't men bring Wu hooks and the like, it is pure nonsense that does not know the height of the sky, and he doesn't know anything about the arrangement of troops. Although he said heroically in the first two days that there might be a war here, and he would watch and meddle, but then he saw the atmosphere in the village, sometimes he asked a little puzzled: "It won't really be a war, right?" Others can naturally see that this is what he really thinks in his heart.

Several Zhuangzi had their own defense systems, which he couldn't touch, but many times he could still watch the villagers practice with relish on the sidelines of the school field. After being introduced by Zhu Chaofeng, the Jianghu people sent the bandit "Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt" Lei Feng Gongzi even took the initiative to ask to learn from Luan Ting Yuluan.

After a few fights, he was beaten to the ground, Luan Tingyu is a good person, and he is very measured, and he can make the other party understand the gap after a few click-to-point fights. After unrelentingly challenging a few times, this Lei Feng son also said: "Today's diarrhea, it may not be a long time, the water and soil are not in a state, Luan Jiaotou's martial arts are really good, and I will learn another day." ”

At the time of such a competition, Zhu Long, Zhu Biao and others led the horse to pass by, and Hu Sanniang, who happened to pass by, was a little disdainful in his eyes, but more bored and helpless. Because this Lei Gongzi is really good in business, it is said that in recent days, he has put forward some advice to the small workshop in the village, and the manager in charge of managing the business respects him quite a lot, and Zhu Chaofeng also attaches great importance to this, and he can be patient with his little temper of the young master who does not know the height of the sky. Even Zhu Hu, one of the three brothers, was quite polite to him, and sometimes told him stories about the battle between Zhuangli and other mountain bandits.

“…… The three Zhuangzi have different attitudes, but for now, they can be regarded as having a number. "In the gap when others are hard to see, Ning Yi will also talk to Wang Shanyue, the Qi family brothers and others about the information he gets, even if he has been talking about business, many things can be seen clearly in it.

"Zhujiazhuang is the master, the Zhu Dynasty Fengzhu Zhuang is the strongest, he will definitely fight, to ensure that Dulonggang is under his own hands, and it is also the strongest strength of Zhujiazhuang. When he talked to me about business, he liked to hear about the vision of Zhuangzi that had developed under him; Hu Taigong is more conservative, he likes to live a peaceful and happy life, watching his children and grandchildren full of people, of course it is good to be better, but it is not necessarily urgent. Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang also have the closest relationship, Zhujiazhuang fights, they will generally follow. As for the owner of Li Zhuang......"

Ning Yi frowned: "'Soaring Eagle' Li Ying, the head of the village is called Du Xing, nicknamed 'Grimace', these two people ...... cough, I heard that he was very good at playing when he was young, but this Li Ying is the most enthusiastic person about business and the general trend, I talk about business, he likes it very much, and he likes it more when he talks about the development trend of the capital and various places...... In his bones, he is a little bit of a drifter to protect himself, what the hell is this Jianghu person......"

These two people, Ning Yi, knew that they were the last to go to Liangshan, and of course it was difficult to say that they were unpredictable prophets at this time. However, just from the character of these people, you can see some clues.

"Du Xing seems to be very loyal, but Li Jiazhuang and Liang Shan are related, last year I heard that there were some conflicts with Liang Shan, it was the illness Guan Suo Yang Xiong through Du Xing's relationship, let Li Jiazhuang come forward to intercede. At that time, the incident in Zengtou City had just happened, and Zhujiazhuang took a step back. This is not a big deal, Gulonggang and Liangshan are not far away, they are both underworlds, and it is normal to talk about all kinds of contradictions and frictions, and there is more than this. But if you really fight, you have to be mentally prepared for Li Jiazhuang first......"

Although Ning Yi has performed badly in martial arts and strategy in the past few days, he can simply subdue several leaders in Zhuangzi with his business experience, and then deduce everyone's temperament and position from it, which is also amazing. In the atmosphere of preparation for war in Dulonggang, Wang Shanyue watched him like this, and quickly dismantled the little vigilance that Zhu Chaofeng and others had originally had in their hearts.

He was originally an outsider, but in a few days, several workshops in Zhuangzi were instructed by him, and secondly, he is now the young master of the Lei family, if something happens here, the Lei family will certainly not be able to destroy Liangshan, but if the worst happens, Dulonggang really can't hold on, and his accident here can be regarded as a kind of revenge on Liangshan. Because of this mentality, Zhu Chaofeng and the others did not deliberately want this Young Master Lei to leave, but after arranging someone to accompany him, they stayed here casually and made childish war remarks, as long as they did not touch the defense situation on the Dulonggang side.

In a sense, Dulonggang, which is shrouded in heat and oppression, is doing the most important thing to prepare for war. And according to the information collected from all sides, there must have been the same excitement and fanaticism on Liangshan. Seventy or eighty thousand people on both sides were involved and shrouded in the overall situation, and this seemingly inconspicuous scholar seemed to be hidden in the darkness that no one was paying attention to, quietly waiting for what he wanted to wait for. After knowing that he had killed Bao Daoyi, Wang Shanyue occasionally felt that this scene was chilling down his spine, seeing him so successful in his chest, could it be really promising?

For Wang Shanyue, what makes him hesitate a little now is this one. More than 30 people of wolf thieves have come to Dulonggang with large carts and small carts of goods, if the expected war starts, enter with this scholar named Ning Yi, that is, put his life on the ground, there is no room for regret, he has been running wolf thieves for several years, and now he is not only burdened with his own life. The teacher's letters and orders were in front of him, and he only hoped that the time for the war would be a little farther away, and that he would have more time to think about the situation clearly.

However, Liang Shan did not give everyone too long, although many people felt the omen at the beginning, when he suddenly arrived, it still made the hearts of the participants sink suddenly.

In the summer of the tenth year of Jinghan, on the twenty-fifth day of May, in the evening, when the clouds were red, a knight with a white horse, silver armor, and a steel spear and a longbow appeared in the setting sun, and shot three arrows at the small market outside Dulonggang without hurrying at the two hundred paces away. The first two arrows flew the hat of Zhuang Ding, who was guarding outside the market, and the third arrow was wearing a war letter, and slammed into the plaque with the words "Dulonggang" written on it.

The knight turned his horse's head and walked slowly. Ning Yi was standing outside at the time, watched this scene with great interest, smacked his lips, and turned back to the inn. Even if he hadn't seen it before, he could roughly guess the identity of the other party.

Xiao Li Guang - Hua Rong!

Before the evening, the news of Liangshan's attack on Dulonggang had already spread, and chaos broke out in the small market......
