When he was a general, Zhang Xizai finally found the merchant group camped on the bank of the soaked water in the dark.

Among the guards of the night vigil was Zhang Dubao's men, so he was put into the car formation. He didn't make a fuss, and tiptoed to find Zhang Dubao, who personally led the escort, and put together the requirements of the heroes of Liangshan.

Buying road wealth is actually negotiable, robbers also have robber rules, basically will not do things absolutely, do absolutely it, that is a hammer deal.

There have always been bandits here in Daze Township and Mangdang Mountain, but the trade routes are endless, just because the money from buying roads is reasonable. It is not necessary to ask the passing merchants to take a long detour to take the canal-Fuliji, and then go north - there are no bandits on this route, but it is much farther, and there are tax cards of the Great Song Dynasty officials, so the cost is similar to that of Daze Township and Mangdang Mountain, and it is a waste of time.

And although the heroes of Liangshan are crossing the river in Daze Township, the rules of the rivers and lakes still have to be taught. Otherwise, the heroes of Jingdong West Road will look down on Liangshan and say that they are not righteous.

Therefore, the money that the heroes of Liangshan want to buy is also in size.

But this time, the heroes of Liangshan obviously didn't come to buy a few road money, they seemed to be here to seek revenge, and they wanted to kill Wu Haogu by name......

"Why do you want to kill people?" Zhang Dubaozheng frowned, "Erlang (Zhang Xizai), can't they kill elsewhere?" ”

"They won't." Zhang Xizai spread his hands, "I don't know where the surnamed Wu offended Liangshan, and he actually came so far to kill him."

Uncle, what should we do? Can they be killed? ”

Zhang Dubaozheng shook his head, "It's not easy to do......"

"Don't let you kill?" Zhang Xizai asked.

Zhang Dubaozheng glared at his nephew, "If you don't let you kill, those Liangshan heroes are going to kill us!" ”

"Then let them kill you?"

"It's not possible," Zhang Dubaozheng said, "who is still looking for our Zhang family guards when it is passed out?" ”

In the line of guards, it is impossible to say that you have not "lost" people and goods, but it is a big loss of credibility to abandon the guest officers of the guards and let the robbers kill and plunder. If it is to be spread, no one will look for the Zhang family to protect it in the future.

"It's not to kill, it's not to kill, but how can it be good?"

Zhang Dubaozheng pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Ting Yang (Zhang Xizai's trade name), hurry up and find Ximen Qinglai."

Also, take care of your stinky mouth, and no one is allowed to tell you about the meeting with Liang Shan. ”

"Yes, I know." Zhang Xizai replied repeatedly.

Of course, he knew that this matter could not be leaked out, even if he betrayed Wu Haogu, he had to sell it without knowing it. Otherwise, the guard business, Zhang Jiake would have done it.

In addition, Zhang Du Baozheng also saw that Ximen Qing and Wu Haogu were "full of affection", and if he wanted to sell Wu Haogu, he might have to pass him.

It didn't take long for Ximen Qing, who had been yawning all the time, to be taken to Zhang Du Baozheng's side by Liu Er, and Liu Du Baozheng began to set Ximen Qing's words around a bonfire.

"Xiao Yi, I just got the news that Liangshan's gang came down the mountain to seek revenge......"

Ximen Qing laughed when he heard this, and said nonchalantly: "Looking for revenge? Do you seek me? ”

"How is it possible," Zhang Dubao said with a smile, "Yanggu Ximen is a big family in Yunzhou, as well as relatives and friends in the Liao Kingdom, and Liangshan will not be looking for your family's bad luck." ”

"Who's so unlucky?"

"Who really doesn't know," Zhang Dubaozheng frowned, "Xiao Yi, what do you say about this?" ”

"How can you ask me?" Ximen Qing smiled, "Your guards have rules. ”

"There are ...... rules," Zhang Dubao nodded, "But I'm afraid that it will affect others, after all, it's the Liangshan thieves." ”

Ximen Qing said lightly: "If you are a thief in Daze Township, you will have to sell your old face, even if you are an enemy, you have to let it go." ”

"That's, that's," Zhang Dubao stroked his beard, "with the old man's face, if it's really a local thief, nothing will happen on this trip."

However, the heroes of Liangshan are not local thieves.

Brother Xiaoyi, you and I are world friends...... This time, I can't tire you with anything. Otherwise, early tomorrow morning, you will take someone to go first. Those people in Liangshan won't rob you of your way if you want to. ”

Ximen Qing looked at Zhang Du Baozheng, "What about Zhang Du Baozheng?" ”

"I will protect the others and return to Yucheng," Zhang Dubao said solemnly, "Although I can't get through Daze Township, I can always keep people and goods." ”

"Oh." Ximen Qing nodded, noncommittal.

"Of course," Zhang Dubaozheng said, "If Xiao Yi is willing to go back to Yucheng with the old man, the old man will ask for it." ”

"Okay," Ximen Qing smiled, "I'll go back and talk to someone, and I'll give you an answer in a while." ”

……

Ximen Qing and his men were camped next to Wu Haogu's people. When he came back from Zhang Du Baozheng's side, he immediately found Wu Haogu, Guo Jing, Lin Wancheng and Wu Song, and discussed around the fire together.

"The gang of thieves in Liangshan are here to seek revenge, and this trip is not good." Ximen Qing frowned, obviously a little worried.

Wu Haogu couldn't help but ask, "Do you know who you are seeking revenge against?" ”

When he asked this, he was very worried that the person Liangshan thieves were going to deal with was himself...... He was in Kaifeng Mansion before, but he offended a lot of people.

Maybe they bought Liangshan!

"I don't know, the old fox surnamed Zhang refuses to say, I think he wants to sell the guest to protect himself."

"Can you return to Yucheng?"

"I can't."

Lin Wancheng and Wu Song said at the same time.

The two warriors glanced at each other, and the elder Lin Wancheng said: "There must be an ambush on the way back to Yu City!" ”

Wu Song also said: "It is estimated that the Liangshan thieves will divide their troops into two routes, and there is still one way to pounce on us." ”

"Can you beat it?" Wu Haogu's voice trembled a little.

After all, he was a painter, not a military strategist...... Now he regrets coming out of Kaifeng Mansion.

"I can't beat it!" Wu Song said in a deep voice, "If a certain family is in command, the custody can be beaten like a thief."

But the surname Zhang is a bad race, and he is cowardly before fighting, and this battle has no to fight. Xiao Yi, we have to go separately from them. ”

"Separated?" Wu Haogu was taken aback, "That's only more than forty people (this is the total number of people including the Ximen family and the Wu family)." ”

Wu Song glared at Wu Haogu, "What's wrong with the forty or so people?" With a certain family in command, even hundreds of thieves can be defeated! ”

"It's better for the old man to command!" Lin Wancheng and Wu Song fought for command, he glanced at Wu Song, "The old man has beaten the western thieves, and he has been in the team since the year of Zhiping." ”

The "team" is the establishment unit of the general forbidden army, and there are usually as many as 100 people in one department! It is equivalent to a "capital" that is not tied to the forbidden army. In the Western Army, most of the generals are fought with a knife and a gun, and their ability to fight in battle is far greater than that of Wu Song, who has never seen a real battlefield.

By the way, the ability of Liangshan heroes to fight is definitely not as big as described in "Water Margin".

"It turned out to be an old-timer," Wu Song also knew the power of the Western Army...... Now among the armies of the Great Song Dynasty, only the Western Army can fight, "Then it will be commanded by Lin Jiaotou." ”

Lin Wancheng glanced at Ximenqing again, and Ximenqing also nodded, "Just listen to the old Lin sect leader." ”

"Good!" Lin Wancheng's eyes shot a sharp edge that he didn't know how long it had been hidden, "The one surnamed Zhang will take someone away immediately and leave us a guide." ”

"Tell them to go right away?" Ximen Qing was a little puzzled by Lin Wancheng's arrangement, "Then when will we hit the road?" ”

"We're not on the road," Lin Wancheng said, "just form a smaller car formation here, and then recharge our energy and wait for the Liangshan thieves to come and die!" ”
