Seeing that the big man like a black iron tower was carrying heavy firewood to sell, in addition to Xiao Tang, Tang Pengxiu, Guan Sheng and others were extremely frightened, other traders and pedestrians in Lushan County seemed to have been accustomed to it for a long time, and a few of them had greeted the black man, and it was obvious that the man often came here to sell firewood.

"Niu Jialang, your mother's body bones are better?" At this time, an elderly citizen of Lushan County asked the man.

The black man grinned and said; "Uncle Lao Tian asked, my mother has seen a lot of better weather in the past two days, and when I go back after selling firewood, I will hunt some game for her to replenish her body."

Xiao Tang looked straight at the black man who was talking to the county people, and his mind was confirming the origin of the people in the Water Margin, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he was not from Lushan County, Ruzhou. But looking at the popularity and strange power of the body, how can such a character be an unknown person? I can't say that since I have a chance to meet here, I naturally want to get acquainted with him.

Tang Pengxiu originally went out with Xiao Tang, which was enough for her to be happy for a long time, but seeing that Xiao Tang forgot about her own girl's house and only looked at the big black man who was five big and three thick, she couldn't help but pout, and secretly sulked.

But Tang Pengxiu thought about it again: My relationship with Brother Xiao Tang has finally come to fruition, isn't it to thank Sister Jinniang for being gentle and kind and allowing me to enter the door of the Xiao family? Sister Jin Niang and Brother Xiao Tang have a heart-to-heart relationship, they are close to each other, where am I wrong, how can I be that jealous person to play petty sex and make Brother Xiao Tang unhappy? Isn't Brother Xiao Tang just good at making good friends? Hmph, he can't marry those good men......

As soon as such an absurd and strange idea came out, Tang Pengxiu looked at the black man who was born rough and straightforward, and said in her heart, What am I doing here, how can I sip the vinegar of this black man? She couldn't help but smile with a grunt, the relationship between the two had just been clarified, and for Tang Pengxiu, it could be said that it was the stage of love between men and women.

What's more, although Tang Pengxiu has always respected and appreciated Xiao Tang's wife Su Jinniang, and also regarded her as a caring sister, the girl's family is delicate, since the two are in love with the same man, the more Tang Pengxiu is friendly with Su Jinniang, but the more unwilling she is to lose to her, so Tang Pengxiu stands with her hands upright and stands quietly like a little lady, so that Xiao Tang, who likes to accept heroes from all over the world, will not be bothered by herself.

Xiao Tang stepped forward a few steps and stood with Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi and others, among whom Guan Sheng sighed and praised: "That man is also an extraordinary person!" Hugh said that the two arms have the strength of a buffalo, if there is no tens of millions of pounds of strength, how can they move such a heavy object without changing their face? ”

If it was only about strength, he Guan Sheng was also convinced by the black man, although he imitated the ancestor Guan Yu to make a heavy Qinglong Yanyue Knife rotate like the wind, but it was not as light as the black man. Yang Zhi figured out Xiao Tang's thoughts, so he asked him, "Shangguan has the heart to recruit talents?" ”

Xiao Tang nodded and said: "I don't know how many people are left in the grass and green forests, mountains and markets, and such extravagant men will not be willing to be a woodcutter for a living." ”

As soon as the black man found a place to stay, he put aside the firewood that had accumulated like a hill, and when he sat down cross-legged, he saw Xiao Tang, Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi and other five people coming to him. He smiled again and asked, "How many of you want to buy firewood?" ”

Xiao Tang looked at the big man and asked, "I see that Your Excellency is amazingly powerful, how can you only be a woodcutter who sells firewood here?" ”

The black man frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" I have a legitimate livelihood to sell firewood, and what I do has not hindered you. You are not a buyer of firewood, but only for my amusement. ”

Although Yang Zhi is also a good man, even if he is not a sycophant and a flattering official, he has been under the command of his boss in the palace marshal's mansion for a long time, and he has long been accustomed to acting in the eyes of the official. Hearing the impatient words of the big black man, he said, "You man is so unreasonable! The one who asked you was Xiao Renxia of the Daimyo Mansion, and the former secretary of the palace who did it in the Marshal's Mansion of the Beijing Master Palace, and he was also appeased by the official family on the Jingnan Road. Lord Xiao asked you to promote you, how dare you be rude, you don't know any decency. ”

When the black man heard this, he scratched his head, smashed his mouth and said: "It turns out that they are all official masters, but what 'Xiao Renxia', 'Du Yuhou', and 'appeasement envoy' are, I don't know, can they be as big as the county magistrate?" Besides, I didn't steal or rob, you come to ask me what to do? Your official master is very exquisite, and I am a rough person, and I can't get around many bends. We can't pee in a pot, what else are we talking about? ”

When the big black man finished speaking, Yang Zhi was choked speechless. Xiao Tang listened to his words and had a good impression of him, this man was rough and straightforward, he seemed to have no scheming at all when he spoke in the world, and he treated others and things according to his own heart, it was rare to be like him at such an age without losing his pure heart. Thinking of this, Xiao Tang said again: "Okay, I bought all your firewood." ”

The big black man raised his head and glanced at Xiao Tang, and said angrily: "This firewood is enough for you to fill the stove and make a fire for a year and a half, and you officials and masters are not so tricky." Besides, I know that you don't want to buy it sincerely, so I won't sell it! ”

Xiao Tang, Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng and the others were stunned when they heard this, Guan Sheng couldn't help but laugh and said: "You man is very strange, at first you thought I wouldn't buy your firewood, but now I don't sell it, what's the reason?" ”

The big black man raised his head and said, "If you want this firewood to be really useful, I will naturally sell it to you." But even if you have money, it's not like this, why do I owe you favors for no reason? ”

Seeing that although the big man was reckless, but he also had some plans in his heart, Xiao Tang couldn't do it for a while, and said with a wry smile: "If I can tell you your name, I just want to get to know more heroes." ”

The big black man looked at Xiao Tang suspiciously, and finally said: "Daddy and mother gave me a name, that is, to be called, I have a name and am afraid to say it to you?" My name is Niu Gao, what are you going to do? ”

Niu Gao, it turned out to be him! Xiao Tang suddenly realized, and recalled in his mind that he seemed to be a person from Lushan in Ruzhou. In historical facts, Niu Gao is sixteen years older than Yue Fei, and Niu Gao was in his forties when he joined the Yue family's army.

But before that, when the Jurchens invaded south, Niu Gao had decided to join the anti-Jin rebel army to defend his hometown, until Lushan was captured by the Jin army, Niu Gao organized his own forces to resist foreign humiliation. The area where he led the righteous army to be active has always been concentrated in the area of Lushan and Pingdingshan in Ruzhou, and after two great victories in the independent army, Niu Gao has become a figure who makes the Jin people fearful.

It seems that many well-known romance novels in later generations will have a bold, straightforward, loyal, reckless and naïve character, such as Zhang Fei in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Li Kui in "Water Margin", Cheng Yanjin in "Romance of the Tang Dynasty", Meng Liang and Jiao Zan in "Yang Jiajiang...... and Niu Gao in this "The Complete Biography of Yue". But this Niu Gao's "innocent" is very different from the black whirlwind Li Kui, that Li Kui seems to be by nature, and this Niu Gao is because he still lives in the remote mountains and old forests next to Lushan County at this time.

However, the upper limit of the ability of this Niu Gao commander is definitely far better than that black whirlwind who loves to kill innocents indiscriminately. He was born as a woodcutter and a hunter, but he has a heart to serve the country, and after joining the righteous army, he showed his talent for conquest, and he was already able to lead the army alone to lead the Jin State Iron Cavalry, and then Lianke pseudo-Qi and Song traitors, captured Yang Mi alive, and made countless large and small military exploits, which can be said to be invincible! What's more, Niu Gao is upright, chivalrous, and courageous, and when he pushed his outstanding military exploits to his colleagues, he also said loudly: "Those who have my heart are the ears of national affairs." What a fight! ”... After he was framed by the traitor Qin Hui and drank poisoned wine, when he was dying, he shouted bitterly: "The hatred of the north and the south is peaceful, do not wrap the body in horse leather, and care about death." It is enough to show Niu Gao's downright temperament, as well as his heart to serve the country.

With the accumulation of Niu Gao's military exploits, he could have been able to command the army as the commander, but Zhao Gou of Song Gaozong once criticized Niu Gao and said: "Yue Fei's army is biased, such as Dong Xian and Niu Gao are quite brave and available, but they are good goods first, Gao is addicted to alcohol, and they are all short, and they cannot be unified by the public." ”......

Wait, alcoholics?

Xiao Tang's heart moved, this is a hobby of Niu Gao who is completely consistent with the official history and romance. Although he was wary of me at this time, could he get along with him by drinking and having a deep relationship? Thinking of this, Xiao Tang smiled and said to Niu Gao: "It turns out that the strong man is called Niu Gao, and when I saw that you were a good man, I had the heart to get acquainted." Since you don't want me to buy your firewood, but I want to invite the strong man to eat a few jars of wine, how about it? ”

Niu Gao was stunned when he heard this, he stared at Xiao Tang, and Xiao Tang obviously noticed that the thick Adam's apple in Niu Gao's throat rolled up and down, and he swallowed heavily.
