In the middle of winter, the land of Qilu is still cold, especially in this unsheltered barren mountains and mountains. I only heard the mountain wind blowing at this time, and even the insects and birds had long since disappeared. Only a group of merchants camped here, only to see them besiege the truck in a circle, and everyone hid in the circle, baking a fire together to avoid the cold.

"Brother, I think we finally scraped together a few hundred yuan of money, and worked hard to come out to do business, how can this Shandong crude drug be difficult to sell at a starting price, tell us to go back and explain to our relatives and friends!" Just listen to a man dressed up in a strong costume and say bitterly.

At this time, a long sigh came, and I saw that the man who was called my brother just shook his head, obviously there was no good way to face such a predicament.

I think he brought a few confidants and friends to sell medicinal materials from Jinghu South Road to this Jingdong East Road, but because the news is not convenient, these medicinal materials he brought are all over Shandong, and if they are sold cheaply at this time, they can't even recover the capital. And because it has been out for a long time, so that there is no longer even a place to live in the hotel, and at this time, I can't find a village to spend the night in, so we have no choice but to sleep in this wilderness in the middle of the night.

"Sit closer, don't let this cold soak again! I'm in a different place, not as much as I used to be at home! Big guys, bear with it! The man with the head beckoned to the men.

When everyone saw this, they moved their buttocks towards the fire, stretched out their hands to roast the fire, and the light emitted by the fire that "crackled" from time to time illuminated the sad faces of everyone very clearly.

The man who was the head just sighed and couldn't bear to say, "It's all useless for me to cause you to suffer with me!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all said: "Where did my brother come from, I was taken care of by you when I was in my hometown, and I can't wait to be grateful!" Besides, coming out to sell crude drugs at this time, you didn't force it, the big guy didn't want to come out by himself, if he could spell out a decent one, wouldn't it be glorious when he returned to his hometown? ”

At this time, the man in a strong suit who suddenly heard Fang just say said, "Brother." We are all well-known men, but what kind of medicinal herbs do we sell? Wouldn't it be happy to simply find a dangerous place and occupy the mountain as the king there? ”

Unexpectedly, this sentence suddenly made everyone in the predicament excited, and someone chimed in: "Brother, we are all from a family, and only because there is no way out, we pooled money to sell medicinal materials, but where are we the material for business?" Seeing that you are going to lose all your money, let everyone have their own skills. Don't go to rob houses, but it's not a waste! In the future, everyone will drink wine together in a big bowl and eat meat in large pieces, which is no better than eating wind and birds here! ”

"Yes, yes, a few days ago, I heard passers-by say that this Shandong grass is rampant, there are two cottages in Qingzhou, the first one is a Jeju man nicknamed Tota Heavenly King who fell into the grass in Erlong Mountain, his surname is Chao Minggai, the most righteous. Whether it is martial arts, it is even more powerful, and his cottage is in the north of Qingzhou. The other place, not far from where we rested, was a clear wind mountain. There are three great kings on the mountain who fall on the grass there, the one with the head is called Jinmao Tiger Yanshun, and there is also a short-legged tiger Wang Ying and a white-faced Langjun who are there to help him. Originally, there was still a peach blossom mountain here, but the officials and soldiers were exterminated. The two kings of his there ran to Erlong Mountain and sat on five or six chairs! ”

The head of the man pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of the green forest heroes of Shandong. but the first man on the road was not here. Thinking that his surname is Wang Minglun, the heroes on the rivers and lakes all praise his benefits, and I heard that he is a good man who is extravagant. He has now gathered tens of thousands of people to gather on Yangsanbo in Jeju, thinking that he is not bad for the people, nor is he bad for such a passing businessman like me, but for the heavens, there are 800,000 forbidden army Lin Jiaotou and the famous flower monk Lu Zhishen and others on the rivers and lakes to help, the momentum is extremely strong, much stronger than the two cottages in Qingzhou! ”

"That's it! I've heard that the Tota Heavenly King is still Wang Lun's defeated men! I thought that the two of them pinched you to death at the beginning, but later it was Wang Lunqi who was high and pressed Chao Gai to death. Later, Chao Gai snatched Liang Zhongshu's birthday outline, was wanted by the imperial court, and was panicked like a lost dog, but he didn't want to be the sworn enemy Wang Lun who sheltered him, and gave him all the Erlong Mountain under his command! Where can such open-minded people be found in the rivers and lakes? Now there is him among the four people who are the most famous in the north, and he is as famous as the Cangzhou Chai official, the Hebei tyrant Tian Hu, and the Yuncheng Song Jiang! One interjected.

"I also know what you said, that day, the Qingzhou army pressed the border and came to attack Erlong Mountain, but it was the white-clothed Xiushi who saved Chao Gai and retired the officers and soldiers! Which of the state capitals of Shandong dares to look at that Liangshanbo now? I think if you want to fall into the grass, you don't have to go to Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain, if you want to vote, you can also go to Naliang Mountain! The first man in the strong suit said.

The man who was the head suddenly smiled and said to the brothers: "Where is it so easy to fall into the grass, otherwise why would you and I have traveled thousands of miles to this Shandong?" This Qingzhou is the road governance of Jingdong East Road, it must be a big city, I will wait tomorrow and go to Qingzhou City to ask the price, if you can sell these dozen cars of crude drugs at a good price, it is good to go back and let the people who look down on us stare wide-eyed! ”

Everyone laughed embarrassedly when they saw it, it was indeed as my brother said, if you want to fall into the grass, why bother to come to Shandong, which is thousands of miles away, or sell the crude drug that was smashed in your hands seriously.

I only heard that the man in the strong suit who was the first to speak sighed and said, "Brother, if the price can be sold in this Qingzhou city, haven't the pharmacists from other local state capitals rushed over early?" It's your turn and I'm going to make money! In this world, it is not easy to do anything! After speaking, he looked around at the darkness, remembered the situation of himself and the others, and just sighed.

The man who was the head sighed when he saw this, he didn't know what the guys were talking about, and shook his head in annoyance.

Idle is also idle, only to listen to the gossip of everyone at this time: "Brother, if you don't want to vote for that Wang Lun, let's occupy a hill by ourselves and set up our own banner, but we are also happy!" ”

"Stupid? Those officers and soldiers of the state capital can't help Liang Shanbo, and they can't help us? Heroes like Chao Gai were almost captured alive by the officers and soldiers! There are only a dozen of us, and we are almost out of food, so it is so easy to plant a flag! ”

"Then I went to Touliangshan, and I heard that the new leaders of the mountain have a settlement fee of 1,000 yuan! is like his brother's martial arts, so why should Wang Lun ask his brother to sit on a chair? ”

"Settling-in expenses? Still a thousand? You're dreaming! It's good that he can take us in, where is the settling-in fee? After all these years, have any of you ever heard of such a good thing in the rivers and lakes? It's a surprise! It's also a thousand times, and we can't get this money after selling it! ”

While everyone was discussing the future, suddenly a rumbling sound came from in the distance. The man who was the head was very surprised, and hurriedly turned his head away, and knelt on the ground to listen to the movement, and after a while, he saw him raise his head and say, "Afraid of no less than three or four hundred horses?" Even the horse dealers are not so large-scale, but where did the officers and soldiers pass by in the middle of the night? ”

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, but they were not afraid in their hearts. It's just because everyone doesn't have anything to wrap up on them, otherwise they still need to spend the night in this wasteland? The crude medicine in the car is not worth much here, otherwise you can make yourself lose all your money? At the moment, everyone was gathered around the fire, but they couldn't help but look at the road.

It didn't take long for a group of cavalry to rush over unhurriedly, and the dense torches in the queue illuminated the surroundings very brightly, and everyone saw that the first general was in armor, very powerful, and that hand was carrying a mace. A middle-aged general next to him was accompanied by a middle-aged general, but his face was full of red light, and a heavy arrow was stuck in the saddle.

Let's say that when the two people saw a group of people on the side of the road spending the night in the wilderness, lighting a fire to resist the cold, and there were more than a dozen cars piled up around, they couldn't help but shake their heads, and saw the general with a mace say to the people around them: "Look at these men, they are still spending the night in the field in such a cold, it seems that it is not easy to be a foot merchant!" ”

The middle-aged general next to him nodded, then took off the wine bag around him, and handed it to the soldiers around him, at this time, the mighty general also took his own wine bag, and handed it over, the soldier understood, and took it together, and then galloped over, threw the wine bag, the head of the person hurriedly stood up, caught one with one hand, opened the skin bag and smelled it, saw that it was strong wine, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for the wine!" ”

Seeing this, the dozen or so people gathered around the fire immediately had a good impression of this group of officers and soldiers, thinking that they had traveled thousands of miles all the way, where had they seen such an easy-going and people-friendly general? He immediately took the wine bag from the hand of the leader, poured it into his own leather bag, and hurried over with his brother, and returned the wine bag, and the two generals, seeing that they were very polite, ordered the team to go first, and the two of them stopped and began to talk with them.

At this time, he saw that the Chinese army had caught up, and at this time the three horses walked out of the team, and the head was a white-clothed scholar, followed closely by two very burly men, this white-clothed scholar had a solemn face, obviously with a heart, at this time he saw that the leaders of the two escort teams in front of him only cared about talking to passers-by, and felt a little surprised in his heart, and he didn't want to be in the middle of the night with people rushing like himself?

I saw him approaching and seeing the dozen or so truckloads of goods, his heart suddenly changed, but when he looked at these people again, he was so strange.

It is not uncommon for women to wear red in these years, but it is rare for men to wear red, but at this time, not only have I seen it, but what is even more strange is that these dozen people are all dressed in red, as if they had agreed to it, and then look at the man who talked to Qin Ming and Huang Xin, I saw that he had grown up and had a handsome face, but there was a sadness between his eyebrows, as if he was full of heart. When the scholar went to see the situation by the fire again, he saw a Fang Tian painting halberd leaning against the truck. Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, and it is very common for businessmen to drive cars and bring some simple knives and blades for self-defense, but it is very rare to see someone carrying Fang Tian's halberd to do business.

The scholar looked at the man with the head again, pondered for a moment, and urged him to step forward and say, "Brother, you don't look like a nameless person, dare to ask who is the surname?" (To be continued......)
