The shopkeeper next to him also stepped forward with a smile, Lin Jue took a step back, pointed at him with a candlestick and shouted: "Don't come forward, otherwise you won't blame me for being polite." ”

The shopkeeper named Chen Gui bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Several, under Chen Gui, he is not a shopkeeper." To tell you the truth, most of the people in all the industries in this Guishan town are brothers of Guishan Cottage. Before you entered the town, we knew that you were the ones who committed a big crime in Tianchang County. Everything before was acting with you, knowing that you wanted to join the cottage, but I had to test you. ”

"You mean, it's all a temptation? You are not officers and soldiers? But the people of the turtle cottage? Lin Jue scratched his head and said.

Ma Bin and Shen Tan rolled their eyes and looked at his style, and said in their hearts: You are really good at acting, no wonder the drama of Wangyue Tower is so good, I am afraid that you taught it.

"Yes, it's just a test for you. I would like to introduce to you, this one is the leader of my cottage outpost camp, and the people in the rivers and lakes call it 'Diamond Mountain Leopard' Li An. Chen Gui stretched out his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man reached out and touched his beard, smiled and nodded.

"Look up for a long time!" Lin Jue, Ma Bin, Shen Tan and others hurriedly bowed. The Jiu Yang in Lin Jue's mouth was naturally said casually, but the Jiu Yang in Ma Bin and Shen Tan's mouth was genuine. The name of Li An, the diamond leopard in the Guishan cottage, is indeed not small. Especially in the past two years, this Ang Lee has done a lot of big cases with bandits, which can be described as notorious. is one of the core figures in the turtle cottage bandits' nest, sitting in the fifth place in the cottage.

"If you already know who we are, why do you still tease and tempt us like this? Do you think that we are insincere in going to the cottage? Ma Bin said dissatisfiedly.

"Brother Ma, don't be unhappy, this is the rule of my cottage. You should also know that my cottage has become a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the imperial court in recent years, and the court has repeatedly sent people to mix into my cottage as an internal matter, so the cottage leaders have discussed, and the people who go up the mountain must be strictly investigated. If you don't like to hear it, the timing of your arrival is not bad, and the cottage is recruiting troops recently. If I had come a month earlier, I am afraid that I would not even be able to touch the door of the cottage. Everyone knows that my Guishan Island cottage is strong, and heroes from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes live in peace, but the cottage has the rules of the cottage, but not all small fish and shrimp can come. Drill Mountain Leopard Li An said unceremoniously.

Lin Jue and the others were like mirrors in their hearts, Li An said that the cottage was recruiting troops and horses recently, and it must be because the bandits on Guishan Island had done a big case and were worried about the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, so they accelerated the recruitment and preparation. This is in line with the previous information of the Imperial City Division.

"That's it, a false alarm. So can my brother and I go to the island? You all know what is going on for us, and you don't know if there is room for us here. If we don't allow it, we can make it clear as soon as possible, so that we can find another place to live. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

"Brother Lin, if the cottage has no intention of accepting, why would we go to great lengths to test you today. To say something you don't like to hear, although we haven't heard of the name of your Huaidong Eight Tigers, you dare to break into the county government and kill the dog official's family. How can my cottage turn you away? However, there are some things that we have to make clear in advance, so as not to be our own brothers when we get them, and some of them can't be said. Ang Lee smiled.

Lin Jue frowned and said: "Leader Li doesn't have to beat around the bush, if you have something to say, you can say it, and if you have a fart, you can let it go." ”

Li An's face changed slightly, and he still regained his smile and said, "Brother Lin, you are used to wandering outside, but you don't know that my cottage has its own rules. The cottage of Guishan Island has been standing for more than 20 years, and that is not something to be said casually. The imperial court has encircled and suppressed no less than six or seven times, but there is nothing to be done, this is all because the owner of my cottage has managed well and disciplined his brothers properly. For example, what you just said about disrespectful to me, once you enter the cottage, if you are unreasonable to your boss, you will be punished. Of course, you don't know these rules at the moment, and I don't blame you. ”

Lin Jue smacked his lips and said, "It's just a casual remark." There is no malice. ”

Li An smiled: "Naturally, I know that you just said it in passing, so I didn't care." The first thing I want to say is that once you enter my cottage, you must abide by the rules of my cottage. Otherwise, they will be severely punished by the village rules. These things must be said in the head, and if you think that you can still be as free as the outside, it will not work. ”

Lin Jue turned his head to look at Ma Bin and Shen Tan, and Shen Tan spoke: "What Leader Li said is extremely true, Guishan Cottage has today's atmosphere, and it is naturally constrained by a set of effective village rules. The so-called no rules are not a circle, how can a rabble of scattered sand resist the encirclement and suppression of the imperial army. ”

"It's still Brother Shen who understands the reason, and it's this reason." Li An laughed.

Lin Jue rolled his eyes and said: "That's it, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, since the cottage is willing to take us in, naturally we have to abide by the rules." ”

Li An nodded and said, "That's it, this is the first thing." The second thing is that a few people entered my cottage, but there was no special treatment. The dragon and crouching tiger in my cottage are all heroes from all over the Great Zhou, but there is no preferential treatment after entering the mountain, everyone starts from the minion. After you entered the cottage, your identity was just an ordinary minion. I'm afraid you're not going to get used to it. ”

"What? People like us, after entering, can only be little minions? Aren't you bullying people? Lin Jue frowned and exclaimed.

This is not that Lin Jue is deliberately hypocritical, Lin Jue really feels that things are a little difficult to do. Originally, the rumor of killing the county commander was created to let the bandits know that they and others were outlaws with extraordinary courage. With this as a name, you should always be given a position or something, so that you can contact the core characters of the cottage faster, and it is more convenient to act. But if it's just a little minion, I'm afraid I won't even have the opportunity to meet the core characters.

Lin Jue secretly regretted that he had known that this was the case, and it might be much better to let the Imperial City Division make a big official such as killing the prefect or the transfer envoy. But it's not just a matter of talking. The illusion of killing the county order can be done seamlessly, because as long as the county order cooperates, the matter will not be revealed. The ability of the local imperial city division in Chuzhou is naturally possible to be done with the cooperation of a county commander, but if it is necessary for a prefect or a transfer envoy to cooperate with the acting, it will be very difficult. And a prefect or a transshipment made a rumor killed, and this rumor will be quickly debunked. If the lake bandits don't investigate, the imperial court department will also come to investigate, and then the facts will be clarified quickly, and the matter will not be done.

"Brother Lin, I'll say something you don't like to hear." Li An sneered, this was the third time he had said this. "It's not a big deal to kill a county magistrate, you think you're wrong about how powerful your case is."

Li An paused, turned his head and glanced at the few lake bandit minions standing beside him, stretched out his hand and pointed at random, pointing at a small minion who was not good-looking and thin, and said: "Take this Wang brother as an example, his current identity is an ordinary brother in my outpost camp, but do you know what case he did before he went up the mountain?" ”

Lin Jue looked dazed, and Li An sneered: "This Wang brother single-handedly broke into the Yingtianfu Prison, killed the chief and deputy prison officers, not to mention, piggybacked and slaughtered three jailers, and saved his brother who was wrongfully murdered. The two brothers came to my cottage together. Do you think it is difficult for him to break into the Tianfu Prison alone, or is it difficult for the eight of you to kill the county commander's family? ”

Lin Jue, Ma Bin, Shen Tan and others showed a look of astonishment, looking at that minion, his appearance was not good, he looked like an old hat in the market, but he didn't expect it to be such a ruthless character. At this moment, when Ang Lee talked about the old things, he was still a little shy.

"And this Ruan brother. is a person from Suzhou Prefecture, who is a butcher who kills pigs and sells meat for a living. One day, he sprayed the Suzhou prefect's office on the street, and the prefect's body was rubbed with some oil, and he insisted that he pay 500 taels of silver, otherwise his whole family would be imprisoned. Brother Ruan entered the Yanai Mansion with a pig-killing knife that night and stabbed all 18 people in the mansion to death. I cut off the dog's head and threw it on the street, and then went to my cottage. Guys, do you think you've done a big case, and how proud you are? These people are also the little minions in my cottage, and they also strictly abide by the rules of my cottage. I say this to tell you that there is no waste in my cottage, there is a dragon and a crouching tiger in it, and if you feel that you are condescending, then please take care of yourself. Li An said in a deep voice with a faint sneer.

……

On the dark surface of the lake, the night wind is biting and invades the bone marrow. A fast boat carrying Lin Jue, Ma Bin, Shen Tan and other eight people was quickly sailing into the depths of the lake.

Lin Jue and the others had to agree to the conditions proposed by Li An, the leader of the lake bandit outpost camp before, because they had no choice. At this point, even if it doesn't go as smoothly as imagined, there is no turning back. Besides, being able to smoothly blend into the bandits' lair is the key step, and as for other things, you can only do it.

Hongze Lake is shaped like a shuttle, and it is long and narrow from north to south. The distance between north and south is more than 160 li, and although the east and west are relatively narrow, the distance between the east and west lakes is also nearly 50 li wide. This is a huge lake, and with the area of the surrounding river system and tidal wetlands, the entire lake is more than enough to hide millions of soldiers.

The fast boats were speeding forward on the lake, and dozens of lake bandits took three fast boats to surround the boats of Lin Jue and others, which was a kind of protection and a kind of vigilance. Lin Jue sat on the bow deck and looked ahead, the wind and lights on the bow of the ship were dim, and the distance that could be illuminated was less than ten steps. Under the dim light, the thick fog on the surface of the lake can be seen steaming, enveloping the heavens and the earth, and there is chaos.

The land of the two Huai is the place where the cold and warm air from the north and south meet, and it is easy to frost and fog. In such a season, it is foggy almost every day. This is true on the ground, let alone on this large lake.

Looking at the chaotic fog in their eyes, the mood of several people on the ship was also as confused as this fog. They all know in their hearts that from now on, they have embarked on a road of no return. The success or failure of things depends on their own net worth and life. Once you land on the island, you will be buried there if you are not careful.
