When it was already dark at night, Hou Jian came out of the prefect's yamen, and he didn't care about being tired, so he walked to the inn where Xue Yong stayed.

Hou Jian is a Hongdu person, known as a first-hand tailor in the rivers and lakes, flying needles and threads, and the clothes he makes are extremely exquisite, and large families love to ask him to make some clothes. also learned some guns and sticks, because he was born black and thin, and his skills were flexible, and the people in the rivers and lakes also called him a gibbon.

Previously, Hou Jian made clothes for Huang Wenbing when he was in the Wuwei Army, and after Huang Wenbing was promoted to Zhizhou, he naturally had to buy more robes, so he recruited Hou Jian.

Xue Yong said that after crossing the Xunyang River with Chao Yong and others, he separated from Chao Yong and others and went to the Wuwei Army to find Hou Jian.

Hou Jian was naturally very happy when he saw that his master came to look for him, so he left Xue Yong to sell medicine with guns and sticks in the Wuwei Army, and he also learned some guns and sticks by the way.

After Huang Wenbing recruited Hou Jian to Jiangzhou, Xue Yong was also a person who was used to the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't stay alone in the Wuwei Army, so he also came to Jiangzhou to make a living.

Xue Yong had also collected the guns and plasters at this time and returned to the inn to rest, seeing Hou Jianhuo coming in a hurry, he hurriedly said, "Apprentice, why are you panicking?" ”

Hou Jian took a breath and said: "It's not good, when I was working in the prefect's yamen today, I heard them say that Dai Zong, the Shenxing Taibao, colluded with the Liangshan strongmen to rescue Song Jiang, and didn't want to be seen through by Huang Wenbing, and now he was arrested and imprisoned." After five days, he will behead both of them at the corner of the street. ”

When Xue Yong heard this, he said strangely: "The people of Liangshan are coming to fight Jiangzhou? ”

Hou Jian shook his head and said: "Liangshan and Jiangzhou are separated by these many state capitals, how can it be possible to mobilize a large number of people." I heard that Liang Shan forged a letter from Cai Jing and wanted to earn Song Jiang out of the city, thinking that he wanted to attack outside the city. ”

Xue Yong nodded and said, "When I came like this, I was afraid that there were not many people from Liangshan. ”

Hou Jian saw that Master Xue Yong didn't look a little anxious, and couldn't help but say, "Didn't Song Jiang have a relationship with Master in Jieyang Town before?" He is also a well-known good man, so he needs to save him. ”

Xue Yong shook his head and said: "At that time, it was the little overlord Chao Yong who gave me a piece of silver, and it was Chao Yong and Ruan Xiaoqi who wanted to help me fight with Mu Hong later, and Song Jiang brought a wooden flail at that time." I also heard the name of Song Jiang before, and I also talked a few words, and seeing that his words were extraordinary, I thought he was a real man. I don't want to be such a greedy person who is afraid of death, and I am ashamed to be with him if he does such a shameful thing. ”

Hou Jian was also very disgusted by the ugly things that Song Jiang did that spread all over Jiangzhou, and shook his head and said: "Even if you don't save Song Jiang, the master has to return the favor of Xiaobawang." The heroes of Liangshan are ready to save people halfway, and they will inevitably send people to the city to inquire about the news with Dai Zong. That Huang Wenbing is insidious and cunning, I am afraid that he has already arranged it, if the heroes of Liangshan venture to find Dai Zong, I am afraid that they will be arrested by Huang Wenbing. ”

When Xue Yong heard this, he frowned and said: "You can see it too, but I only recognize the little overlord Chao Yong and the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi, if other people come, I can't recognize them, but how can I remind them." ”

Hou Jian only heard that after Dai Zong's accident, he rushed over with enthusiasm, and he couldn't help but lose his mind when he heard it.

He turned around on the ground for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said: "Yes, the heroes of Liangshan want to save Song Jiang halfway, and there must be many people who come." You can only hide outside the city, and the hiding place can't be too close to Jiangzhou, so as not to be discovered. I expected that most of them settled in Jieyang Town, one and Jiangzhou City were only separated from the Xunyang River, and the other did not block Mu Hong also went to Liangshan Juyi, but he was familiar with the terrain of Jieyang Town, and it was still possible to hide 180 people. ”

Xue Yong listened, nodded and said: "Then I will go to Jieyang Town to find them for a few days, if I find them, I will just return Chao Yong's favor." If you can't find it, you can only blame Song Jiang and Dai Zong's thin life. ”

When Hou Jian saw Xue Yong say this, he also knew that they could only do this.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Xue Yong packed up his clothes, crossed the Xunyang River, and came to Jieyang Town.

Xue Yong came to Mu Hongzhuang, but saw that Mu Hongzhuang was already overgrown with weeds at this time, and the cobwebs were dense, obviously after Mu Hong and the others left, the people in the town didn't know if they would come back, and they didn't dare to come to occupy his Zhuangzi, so it was deserted.

Xue Yong turned around and saw that no one had come, so he had no choice but to return to the town and set up a scene to make guns and sticks sell plasters. If Mu Hong and the others came back, they would naturally see him.

After Mu Hong and the others left, no one in Jieyang Town could suppress others and dominate, so no one came to blackmail him.

Xue Yong found an inn in the town to stay, and every morning he sold medicine with guns and sticks in the town, and returned to the inn to rest in the evening.

Liangshan went all the way south, but there were many rivers, so Chao Yong and others did not ride horses. He also knew that Dai Zong's feet could not get off the galloping horse, and he didn't dare to delay all the way, so he copied the small road and hurried overnight to Jiangzhou.

Although everyone is a martial arts practitioner and has a strong body, they are all tired when they rush all the way to Jieyangling.

Looking at the land, Chao Yong asked Mu Hong to find a secluded valley on Jieyang Ridge, and everyone hid in the valley to rest first.

Mu Hong rested for a while, relieved his breath, looked at the head that was already a little westerly, and said, "Let's go to Jieyang Town first, and see if there are any people in my village." Then I bought some wine and food and came back, and everyone rushed for a long time, but they were all hungry, and they had to stay up until late at night before they could go down the mountain. ”

"Okay, let's go and see how long your tiger power can deter everyone in Jieyang Town."

Chao Yong's plan was to go to Muhong Zhuangzi to hide first, and then decide where to start when they found out the escort route. However, the premise is that Mu Hong's Zhuangzi is not occupied, otherwise everyone can only hide on Jieyang Ridge.

When Mu Hong heard this, he smiled and said: "The splashes in the town have been cleaned up by me, and within a year and a half, they will definitely not dare to occupy my Zhuangzi." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Okay, which brother is still going?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Kui immediately shouted: "Tie Niu has already been hungry, and I will go with you, so that you will not eat and drink by yourself in the town and forget us." ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Then let's go with the three of us, Brother Wu Song, you rest here, let's go and go back." ”

Wu Song was running around, and finally stopped, since someone was going to do coolies, he didn't want to move, and said with a smile: "Then let Tie Niu go with you, he has a lot of strength, and he can also carry more wine and food back." ”

It was easy to go down the ridge, and the three of them trotted all the way down Jieyang Ridge and came to Jieyang Town.

When the townspeople saw Mu Hong coming back, they stepped forward to say hello.

When the three of them walked to the center of the town, they saw a large number of people watching guns and sticks.

"Let's let's, let's let's"

Li Kui's guy loves to be lively, shouting, pulling out his legs and running over.

The people in Jieyang Town saw Li Kui's fierce face, and there were two big axes pinned to his waist, and they hurriedly got out of the way.

Chao Yong looked through the empty space that people had let go, but found that it was Xue Yong, a sick insect who made the stick in the middle.

Xue Yong also saw Chao Yong and Mu Hong, hurriedly put away the whistle stick, hugged his fists and said: "Today, the villain still has something to do, so I will come here first, thank you for the applause." ”
