Chao Yong and Wu Song sat in the grass by the river, talking to each other about what happened after their separation last year.

After listening to Chao Yong, Wu Song patted his thigh and said: "Brother, this year is a happy life, but Wu Song has lived this year in vain, leaving only these two golden marks on his face." ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said: "Brother Jingyang Gangshang fights the tiger with his bare hands, who doesn't admire the heroes of the world." I only hate that the world is now muddy, and wicked people are rampant, forcing heroes like brothers to have no way out. ”

Wu Song remembered that Ximenqing, Pan Jinlian, Jiang Menshen, Zhang Dujian and others had forced him to be assassinated twice, and he couldn't help but feel resentful, got up and said, "It's dark, let's go to Mengzhou." Wait any longer, I'm afraid this bad breath will suffocate me. ”

Chao Yong also felt that the mosquito bites at the water's edge were even more severe after night, which was really a bit difficult.

At that moment, the two of them got up and rushed to Mengzhou City, and when they arrived at Mengzhou City, the two of them found that they had missed a question.

Although Mengzhou is a small state, the city walls are also three or four zhang high.

The two walked around the city for a while, but they didn't find any low or dilapidated places, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Wu Song thought for a while, but he didn't have a clue, and couldn't help but slam his fist on the city wall in anger, and said unwillingly: "Is it difficult to let them live one more night." ”

Chao Yong turned around, and suddenly saw the trees on the side of the official road, and couldn't help laughing: "There is." ”

Wu Song had already decided to give up, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at Chao Yong in surprise and said, "Brother Yong'er has thought of something?" ”

Chao Yong pointed to the trees in the distance and said with a smile: "Let's go and pull out a tree, lean on this city wall and climb it." Lu Zhishen once uprooted the weeping willows in Tokyo back then, and you and my brother also have a divine power, so they will not be weaker than him. ”

Wu Song felt that this method was a bit outrageous, but when he heard that Lu Zhishen had pulled out the willows, he was not to be outdone.

When Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the dynasty, came from the military power in his own hands, so after the throne was stabilized, he released the military power with a glass of wine, and deprived all the generals who supported him as the emperor, in case they supported others again.

Zhao Kuangyin was still not at ease after relieving the generals of the DPRK, and set a national policy of strengthening the cadres and weakening the branches, and collected the elite soldiers and horses of the world into the Beijing division, and only left some soldiers and horses to maintain law and order in the local area to prevent the local princes from supporting the army and causing chaos.

In this way, although there are no local princes to rebel, from time to time some homeless people and grass bandits will plunder the city. At this point, the local forces are insufficient.

In order to allow the forbidden army of the Beijing division to quickly march into the local area to quell the chaos, the imperial court asked each state capital to build an official road leading to Tokyo, and trees such as elms and willows should be planted on both sides of the official road, and some drainage ditches should be dug in some low-lying places. Every five miles, there is a mound of mounds, on which there are stone tablets engraved with road mileage and state and county boundaries.

There were many decades-old trees on the official road, and the two walked to the side of the road to take a look by the moonlight.

Chao Yong pointed to one of the willow trees, which was four feet high, and said, "This one is enough." ”

Wu Song looked at the trunk of the tree, which was a foot square, and took two steps forward and said, "I'll try it." ”

"You have a wound on your back, so I'd better come."

Chao Yong stepped forward, his right hand went down, his body climbed down, his left hand pulled up, his waist was forced, and the whole willow tree was pulled out.

Wu Song listened to the broken tree roots in the ground, and couldn't help but praise: "Brother Yong'er is so powerful." ”

Chao Yong had already used all his strength, and when he saw that there was a play, he took off his horse again, uprooted the willow tree, and used all his strength to pull out the tree by the roots.

However, this time he also emptied all his strength, the tree left the ground, and fell to one side, and Chao Yong was also taken to the side.

Wu Song saw that Chao Yong had lost his strength, and hurriedly hugged the willow tree, so Chao Yong did not fall down with the tree.

Wu Song saw that Chao Yong's face was flushed, and he hurriedly said, "Brother Yong, are you okay?" ”

Chao Yong straightened up, gasped, and said, "It's okay, it's just that the force was a little fierce, just slow down." ”

The two of them held on to the tree, and Chao Yong rested for a while, before he felt his strength recover, so he picked up the tree and moved to the edge of the city.

Chao Yongqiang reached the edge of the city, his legs were already weak, and the sweat was like rain, but he had just pulled out the tree too hard.

Wu Song helped Chao Yong lean the tree against the city wall, and saw that Chao Yong's legs were trembling a little, so he said: "Brother Yong, I'm afraid I was injured when I pulled out the tree just now, if you wait for me here, I can kill those dog thieves by going into the city alone." ”

Chao Yong took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I've already eased up, the night is long and dreamy, I'll help you climb up first." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Wu Song to step on it, and then with a strong force, he threw Wu Song to a place more than a zhang high, Wu Song grabbed the branch and climbed to the top of the city in three or two strokes.

Chao Yong also climbed up step by step along the trees.

Mengzhou is located in the center of the Song Kingdom, and there are many soldiers and horses stationed there, and they have not suffered from military disasters for many years, so their precautions are lax. The soldiers who were supposed to patrol the city did not know where to hide and sleep, so the two of them went up to the city, and when they saw that there was no one around, they went down the city wall along the road.

At this time, the city was closed to every house, and every place was closed.

Wu Song was also familiar with Mengzhou, and soon touched the outside of the wall of the back garden of Zhang Dujian.

After hearing that there was no one inside, the two climbed up the wall and jumped into the back garden.

Along the path, you will soon arrive at the Mandarin Duck downstairs.

When the two were about to go upstairs, they could hear Zhang Dujian, Zhang Tuanlian, and Jiang Menshen talking.

Zhang Dujian was eating and drinking, and suddenly felt a palpitation, and couldn't help asking, "How are the two apprentices you sent?" ”

Jiang Menshen looked at Zhang Dujian and asked, and hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand and said, "Don't worry, my lord, they are also top-notch among my dozens of apprentices." And that Wu Song ate twenty spines, that is, the tiger lost its backbone and became a sick cat, and this time it will definitely result him. ”

Zhang Tuanlian also said: "Exactly, besides, there are two public servants as helpers, and Wu Song has a wooden flail, if they can't kill Wu Song, they will be too incompetent." ”

When Zhang Dujian heard this, he nodded and said, "That's right, it's just that I suddenly had a palpitation, as if something ominous was about to happen." ”

When Jiang Menshen heard this, he smiled and said: "I instructed them to do something in Feiyunpu, that Feiyunpu is more than ten miles away from the city gate, dare they come back late, the city gate is closed, so they can't enter the city." Tomorrow morning, they will have good news. ”

When Zhang Dujian heard this, he relaxed a little, and sighed: "Wu Song is a good man, if he is at the border, he will take a thousand taels of gold, and I am reluctant to harm his surname." However, in this Mengzhou, he is not as good as Happy Lin's money. ”

Jiang Menshen heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, after the little one takes the Happy Forest, the money collected every month will be handed over to the two adults." ”
