Chapter 337: Boiling Snow and Cooking Tea

This Wang Yin and Fang Jie were amazed by the heroes of the Northland, but they didn't know that it was not easy to live, Hua Rong and others also admired Wang Yin and Fang Jie very much, and they only felt that they sat in the well and watched the sky on weekdays, and underestimated the heroes of the world.

This Zhujiazhuang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, that is, Niu Gao is the vanguard, if it is really fought down, it will take a lot of effort, and this Wang Yin and Fang Jie actually found out the path of Zhujiazhuang in a short period of time, and captured Zhujiazhuang overnight.

Hence the admiration of both sides.

After taking down this Zhuangzi, the new owner of the village was named Zhu Tianlin, who was quite shrewd and righteous, and after simply collecting and appeasing the Zhuang households, he came to ask to see Ju Buyi and others, and said: "There is nothing long in the village, only 10,000 taels of gold and silver, and 300,000 stones of grain. ”

Ju Buyi said: "I have found out that you have a total of 500,000 stones of grain in the village, if you give me 300,000 stones, the rest of the grain and grass will be more than enough for your own use." ”

Zhu Tianlin's heart froze, and he knelt down and said: "General, the villain has selfish intentions and lies about the number, please punish him!"

Ju Buyi smiled and said: "You don't have to panic, this grain is yours, how much you are willing to give, we will never force it, now we are willing to give us 300,000 stones, which is already a large amount, I will not ask for it in vain, and give you an IOU, and I will return it to you when I have enough money in the future!"

Zhu Tianlin said: "I don't dare to ask the general to make an IOU, I just hope that the general can sit in Liangshan and protect the surrounding peace, and the villain will be satisfied!"

It is not easy to make an IOU, Zhu Tianlin is very reluctant, and after arguing for a while, Wang Yin next to him smiled and said: "Brother Ju, in addition to the village tyrants and villains for this Zhujiazhuang people, they are to take some money and food as a reward, which is also reasonable." If you insist on not accepting it, it is a bit outward, hurts your feelings, and is not beautiful. If you don't accept it for the time being, it's not too late to make an IOU when you borrow food for the next time. ”

Ju Buyi said with a smile: "If I have to borrow grain every day to make ends meet in Liangshan, then we are too useless, in the future, we will have business dealings, money and food, why do we need a 'borrow' word?"

Wang Yin stroked his palms and exclaimed: "Brother Ju is so courageous!"

Ju Buyi smiled: "This is what the teacher said, I'm just repeating it!"

That Zhu Tianlin heard Ju Yi say this, and his heart finally settled down: "As long as I don't borrow grain every year, my Zhuangzi can support it...... If you don't merge directly into Liangshan, you won't have to worry about it!"

He pleaded with Ju Buyi: "General, I wish Jiazhuang, Hujiazhuang, and Lijiazhuang the same breath, and now Zhujiazhuang is willing to return to obedience, but I am afraid that the other two owners will not recognize the villain, and please ask the general to call the shots and send someone to sit here to protect the village." ”

Ju Buyi said: "It's easy to talk about this!"

After discussing with Hua Rong, Niu Gao, and Tie Sheng, Hua Rong and Tie Sheng were left in Zhujiazhuang, and then swapped with the rest of the Liangshan leaders in the future and took turns to guard the town.

After leaving 500 elite soldiers, Ju Buyi, Niu Gao and others returned to Liangshan.

When they arrived at the mountain, Wang Yin and Fang Jie found Li Xiake and confessed: "Just because of a rabbit, so many people and horses have been injured, and we are uneasy. Fortunately, he atoned for his sins and cooperated with the high disciples to lay down Zhujiazhuang, and the villain's heart was a little more stable. Now that it's too peaceful, I'll wait for a long time, and it's time to go back to Jiangnan. ”

Li Xiake smiled: "Even if you want to leave, you are not in a hurry." ”

At the moment, a feast was set up, practiced for the two of them, and sent it to the bottom of the mountain, Li Xiake looked at Wang Yin and Fang Jie, and said in a low voice: "In the rich land of Jiangnan, you can't kill more people in the future, if you can't do anything, come to Liangshan." ”

Wang Yin pretended to be stupid, only pretended not to understand, and said with a smile: "Mr. speaks profoundly, and the villain doesn't understand it very well, but if he really encounters something difficult in the future, the villain will come to Mr."

Fang Jie just groaned.

After sending the two of them and their subordinates away, Li Xiake sighed, these two people are Fang La's closest people, if they want to receive their subordinates, it is too difficult, Xiao En Xiaohui can't play a role at all, at most they can only make friends with each other.

"It's a pity that there are two talents!"

In the original work, the two killed a lot of Liangshan heroes, and formed the Eight Heavenly Kings with Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue, Si Xingfang and others, which are not inferior to Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong.

It's just that these people are Fang La's henchmen, and if Li Xiake wants to accept it, it is extremely difficult, so he will give up for the time being.

After sending the two away, Ju Buyi reported the matter of Zhujiazhuang to Li Xiake in detail, Li Xiake thought about it and asked, "What are Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang like now?"

Ju Buyi said: "Zhujiazhuang was broken, and Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang also came to the rescue, but seeing that we were powerful, they all retreated, stuck to the walled city, and closed their doors." ”

Li Xiake said with a smile: "It's okay, but there is just one more place to train soldiers, and when the new soldiers on the mountain come in the future, they will use these two Zhuangzi as a place to crusade and train soldiers to fight the enemy." ”

Originally, the minions on Liangshan lacked the ability to go into battle, and they lacked experience, but at this time there was such a reason, just sharpening their knives and training soldiers, under the leadership of Yang Zhi, Niu Gao, Lu Zhishen, Tie Sheng and others, these soldiers went to harass Li Jiazhuang and Hu Jiazhuang from time to time, just for training.

That Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang could still support at the beginning, but they couldn't stand the three-day fierce battle between the Liangshan people and horses, and they were tired of coping, and the people and horses of the two villages became frightened birds.

Sent people to Jeju City to ask for help, but the Jeju prefect only reasoned that the troops were not enough, and it was not suitable to raise troops in winter, and let the villagers support them for a period of time, and then they would naturally come to drive away the thieves.

Seeing that the Laba Festival is approaching, the New Year is coming soon, and the people of the two villages are anxious.

The owner of Lijiazhuang is called Li Ying, who is a capable person, who makes a steel gun with a muddy iron point and five flying knives behind his back, which is extremely good, and he has fought with Ju Buyi for dozens of rounds a few days without winning or losing.

This person is accustomed to judging the situation and is the best at calculating, and the management of Li Jiazhuang is in good order, money, food and grass, and the arrangements are clear.

On this day, Li Ying's subordinate grimace Du Xing quietly called Hu Taigong, the owner of Hujiazhuang, and his son Hu Cheng, and the two discussed how to deal with the Liangshan thieves.

"This government can't be counted on, in the face of such a strong person, there is no other way but to submit to it!"

Hu Taigong said in the secret room: "People can even fight Zhujiazhuang, how can we two Zhuangzi be able to stop it? I think that during this period of time, it was people who deliberately made fun of us, attacked the village openly, and trained troops in secret, and never used ruthless hands, even if they captured our people, they did not kill them, and they were sent over the next day. In such a situation, it is better to compare. ”

Li Yingdao: "How to compare?"

Hu Taigong said: "Cat and mouse - coax to play!"

Hu Cheng, the son of Hu Taigong, shouted: "Daddy, how can you grow up others to destroy your own prestige? Although he has many masters in Liangshan, it is not so easy to break through our cottage!"

Li Ying sighed: "I won't hide it from you, I only know today who the current lord of Liangshan is, after hearing this person's name and surname, my brother has decided to surrender to Cheng and dare not go against him again." ”

Hu Cheng said: "Master Li Zhuang, you have been a hero in your life, who scared you like this?

Luan Tingyu, who had escaped from Wang Yin and Fang Jie's men before, was also beside him, and when he heard this, he said, "It's not Li Xiake, but who is it?"

Hu Taigong's father and son were shocked, and Hu Taigong said: "He ...... Why did he come to Jeju? Didn't he become king in Zhanshan? But how did he get to Yangsanbo?"

Li Yingdao: "I've already asked someone to inquire, among the several leaders who have attacked our Zhuangzi in the past few days, there are Niu Gao, Ju Buyi, Iron Blood Toutuo and others, and these people are a few strong people who followed Li Xiake in Qingfeng Mountain before, especially Niu Gao and Ju Buyi, the two are Li Xiake's apprentices, and their means are extraordinary, which cannot be faked." ”

Hu Taigong panicked: "Why don't you see Li Xiake take action in person?"

Luan Tingyu said: "If Li Xiake had made a move, our Zhuangzi would have been broken a long time ago! Could it be that our village can still be compared to Bianliang City in Tokyo? People can even break Tokyo, let alone our small village?"

He sighed: "I think I still have some means, who knows that these days have been defeated one after another, the two men who broke Zhujiazhuang before were so good, especially the middle-aged man, I was really difficult to resist, and then there was a black-faced young general, and I was injured again, people in Liangshan have such a man, but they don't make a force to break the village, it can be seen that they are just playing us, and there is no bloodbath." ”

Luan Tingyu has no matchless sticks, and has always admired the people and horses of Sanzhuang, seeing that he said so, Hu Taigong and others no longer have any objections, and the discussion has been decided at the moment, ready to kill pigs and sheep, reward Liangshan soldiers and horses, and return to Li Xiake.

But it is said that Hu Taigong has a son Hu Cheng, and there is also a daughter, named Hu Sanniang, who looks as glamorous as a peach and plum, bright like a pearl, two sun and moon treasure knives in his hands, murderous and does not let the eyebrows, red cotton lasso, and is used to taking people immediately, so he is very arrogant and refuses to bow his head.

Seeing that Hu Taigong was going to surrender to Liangshan, he said angrily: "After fighting for such a long time, it is about to be the New Year, but you want to surrender to the enemy, what is the face? Even if you really want to join Liangshan, you have to show some skills, catch a few people and beat them, and you can also get angry!"

At the moment, he put on armor and carried a knife, crossed the horse out of the village, and ran all the way to Liangshan.

When he walked to the side of Shuibo, he saw a very tall red-robed man standing in the pavilion on top of a nearby pavilion with his hand and snow with his back to everyone. A man in white next to him was waiting for a red clay stove, the stove was burning, an iron kettle was squatting on the stove, and the man in white kept grabbing snow from the side and throwing it into the iron kettle, which was actually burning snow and boiling water.

Hu Sanniang looked strange, walked over quietly, and asked, "Who are you?

The man in white who was boiling the snow looked up at Hu Sanniang and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the little lady of the Hu family, why did you go out of Zhuangzi alone today? ”

After Hu Sanniang saw the face of the man in white clearly, she recognized that it was Ju Buyi, the white-clothed general who often led troops to attack the villa during this time, and when a wave of anger burst out, he drew his double knives, flew up, and slashed at Ju Buyi.

At this moment, the red-robed man in the pavilion turned around, glanced at Hu Sanniang in the air curiously, raised his hand and made a false move, Hu Sanniang couldn't hold the double knives in his hands, and suddenly flew out and fell into the man's hands.

Just when Hu Sanniang was frightened, she felt tight, and the whole person was fixed in the air by an invisible huge force, and she didn't fall to the ground.

After a while, Fang slowly fell to the ground and stood next to the red clay stove, demented, as if in a dream.

The red-robed man on the opposite side walked over slowly, sat down slowly next to the stone table, and watched Ju Buyi gently filter the snow water with a white cloth, and then began to boil it with another iron kettle.

Hu Sanniang was frightened, she didn't dare to move a little, seeing the red-robed man opposite, with a bloody mark on his eyebrows, and his appearance was very majestic, he immediately knew the identity of this person, and was terrified in his heart: "Oh my God, how did you meet this person!"

But seeing Li Xiake sitting at the table, let Ju Buyi put the tea bowl away, and then glanced at Hu Sanniang, and said with a smile: "Reading in the middle of the night, red sleeves add fragrance, that is an elegant thing in the world, I don't read today, I only drink tea in the snow pavilion, there is red makeup and water, but it is also a little elegant." ”

When he said this, he pointed to the tea bowl on the table and said to Hu Sanniang: "Pour tea." ”

Hu Sanniang was aggrieved, but she didn't dare to disobey, lifted the iron kettle, poured two bowls of tea into the tea bowl, and then obediently stood next to her and waited for the order, and couldn't help but think of herself as a maid who served people.

I just scolded myself in my heart: "Why am I so useless! Why should I listen to his orders!"
