Chapter 109 The Water Margin 1 Breakthrough (32)

It took Shi Qian five days to rush from Liao to Yunzhou. He met Zhu Wu and received a dangerous and difficult task. He needed to sneak into Liangshan and collect information on Liangshan bandits.

"Brother Shi Qian, we only dared to ask you to do this after we heard that you had lurked into the Liao Palace several times. How can you say that the guards of the Liao Palace are much stricter than the Liangshan Bandit Village?"

Shi Qian glanced at Yang Chun, and he knocked on the teacup on the table, signaling Yang Chun to pour water.

Yang Chun hastened to show his courtesy.

After drinking the water, Shi Qian opened his mouth and said, "The place where Liang Shanshui is parked is too big. If you want to leap over such a long water area without being discovered by light work, I can't do it for the time being. I guess only the Taiwei in the Forbidden Army can do it, um." , maybe the officials can do it too?"

Zhu Wu frowned, the most difficult part of this task is here, the wide water area is a natural barrier for Liangshan bandits.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shi Qian took out a strange looking equipment from the bag at his feet, "The official has already guessed why you called me here, this is the treasure he gave me , Navy snorkeling device, wait for me to sneak in from the bottom of the water."

Zhu Wu and Yang Chun looked at each other, and even Han Chaoyang, who had been silent all this time, became very interested in the things on the table.

Yang Chun wanted to pick up the equipment to have a look, but was photographed by Shi Qian.Shi Qian put his things back into his luggage, "Just wait for my good news."

Zhu Wu held down Yang Chun's hand that was about to move, took another look at Han Chaoyang, and said to Shi Qian, "Then thank you brother Shi Qian, and please be careful."

Shi Qian sneaked into Liangshan with a mission, and Hua Rong, who was far away in Qingzhou, also received an order from the imperial court. He was transferred to Cangzhou to be the capital commander, and led the Xiang army on Hebei East Road to support the Yunzhou forbidden army to attack Liangshan.

The situation in Qingzhou has stabilized. After the new magistrate took office, various policies have been implemented smoothly. Due to the geographical environment, the development here is not as fast as that of Mengzhou next door, but compared to the previous situation where bandits were rampant and corrupt officials exploited, it is much better now.

When Hua Rong left Qingzhou with his forbidden army, he was sent off by the people of Qingzhou ten miles away, and his eyes were red because he was not good at words.With excitement, Hua Rong rode fast all the way, and he didn't really take a break until he reached the Cangzhou Barracks.

Hebei East Road has 57 counties under the jurisdiction of three prefectures and eleven prefectures. Among them, Daming Mansion is the closest to Fengfu. After the spacious cement road was built between the two prefectures, business and travel exchanges have become more frequent. Therefore, Daming Mansion has become the most prosperous city on Hebei East Road. .

After the Daming Mansion was launched, Hejian Mansion and Kaide Mansion followed closely behind, and the other eleven prefectures were not far behind. Currently, Cangzhou is developing very rapidly. The previous earthen city wall was much stronger.

After Hua Rong arrived, he stayed in the barracks for several days, until he had figured out all the general affairs, and then he gave himself a day off to visit Cangzhou City.

The streets of Cangzhou are different from those in Tokyo. The streets here are much narrower, and the shops on both sides are not as luxurious and spacious as those in Tokyo. However, the people of Cangzhou are very content. They guard their stalls and shops and face the passing customers. , laughing extremely satisfied.

After strolling around for a while, Hua Rong asked the lieutenant behind him: "What day is it today, why are there so many people on the road?"

"Have you forgotten, General? Today is February [-], a good day when the dragon raises its head. The common people will sacrifice to the God of Earth, and there will be a temple fair at night."

Hua Rong was stunned for a moment. He had been staying in the camp for the past few days, and he had forgotten the time. He asked again: "Is there anything to say about the Qinglong Festival in Cangzhou?"

"It's no different from the Qinglong Festival in other places, but the people's life is better in the past year, and this festival is even more lively. I heard that several villages on the outskirts of the city have tied huge dragon heads and prepared a grand ceremony. The Town God's Temple on the east side of the city also has a Celebration, there are more people there."

Hua Rong turned sideways to avoid pedestrians, and slowly moved forward with his lieutenant and followed the jugglers.

"Why don't you see the government servants maintaining order?" After being pushed by the crowd for a while, Hua Rong frowned.There are also festivals in Tokyo, and the scale is several times larger than Cangzhou. However, during the celebrations, the Kaifeng government will send people to maintain order, and sometimes the imperial army and city defense will be called in. But here, he did not see any government officials. .

"You go back to the camp and bring some people over to maintain law and order. If anyone asks, just say it's my order."

The deputy general hesitated: "General, what about your safety?"

Hua Rong shook his head: "Don't worry about me, just do it quickly."

After dismissing the lieutenant general, Hua Rong slowly withdrew from the crowd. He looked around and found a relatively quiet alley to rest.The flow of people on the street is getting bigger and bigger, and it always feels like something will happen in such a mess.

When Huarong was considering whether to go to the Cangzhou government office, footsteps came from the depths of the alley. Hearing the distance between the footsteps, he should be someone with kung fu.With a sudden heartbeat, Hua Rong had a bad premonition, so he pressed the dart on his waist and galloped towards the alley.

In the depths of the alley, a fat white doll was lying on the ground with his eyes closed. In front of the little doll stood a big man with a beard and a black face. At this time, the big man was holding an ax to strike at the little doll.

"Dare you, thief!" Hua Rong yelled sharply, and the dart flew out of his hand.

The big black-faced man turned over with a kite and dodged the darts. When he was about to look at the person coming, four or five darts struck him again.Taking advantage of the other party's avoidance, Hua Rong picked up the little doll and led him away from the black-faced man.

After landing, Hua Rong checked the child and found that he was in a comatose state, which should be caused by drugs.

"Who is the thief? How dare you do evil in Cangzhou City!" Huarong's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Today, Muxiu did not bring a bow, arrow or silver gun. It is difficult to catch this thief with darts alone.

The black-faced man turned around, and rushed towards Huarong with two axes in his hands: "Your grandfather will change his name and surname, so does Black Whirlwind Li Kui! Eat me with an axe!"

"Huh!" The ax blade slashed towards Huarong's waist with the sound of the wind, he jumped up to avoid the sharp edge, turned around in the air, and swept across the black-faced man's neck with his kick.

Li Kui was kicked and staggered, but he still stabilized his figure.

"This man's bones are so hard!" Hua Rong frowned. He was good at his legs and feet.

Hua Rong moved two steps to the side, and now he can only deal with this guy, dragging his subordinates to come.

The black-faced man was aroused by Hua Rong, and he swung his ax faster and faster, and he became more and more crazy.Huarong maneuvered around in the alley, trying his best to avoid the opponent's attack, and at the same time he took the opportunity to release the signal whistle he carried with him.

The two exchanged more than 100 moves, but Huarong didn't dare to lead the crazy black-faced man to the street, so he could only support himself in this secluded alley.

It wasn't until the sound of orderly footsteps came from outside the alley that Hua Rong felt a little relieved, and he shouted loudly: "Lieutenant General!"

Hua Rong rolled backwards, raised his eyes and saw his subordinates appearing at the entrance of the alley.After standing still, he threw the child in his arms towards the lieutenant general.

"Take it!"

The lieutenant general was also from the Forbidden Army, he leaped vertically, caught the child steadily, and at the same time threw the bow and arrow in his hand towards Huarong.

After Huarong got the bow and arrow, he immediately counterattacked. Three stars shine brightly, nine stars shine in succession, and twelve arrows shot towards the black-faced man one after another. Eight of them blocked all his escape routes, and four shot directly through his limbs.

"Ah!" Li Kui's legs were injured, he roared angrily, and knelt down.

Just when Hua Rong was about to step forward to grab the black-faced man, a gray ball was thrown into the alley by someone, and the thick smoke blocked everyone's sight.

"Where are you, Xiao Ya Nei?"

"Brother Zhu Tong, you are dead!"

Hua Rong listened to the sound and moved, raised his bow and shot an arrow at the speaker.

When the thick smoke dissipated, the black-faced man named Li Kui had disappeared, and there was a person lying down at the end of the alley, holding his leg with the arrow in his arms and looking at Huarong.

The imperial army quickly surrounded the man.

Hua Rong walked over and asked with a sullen face, "Who are you?"

"My name is Zhu Dian, how is the yamen?" Zhu Dian wanted to stand up, but there was an arrow stuck in his leg, so he couldn't stand up at all.

Hua Rong turned to look at the lieutenant general, and asked, "How is the child?"

"I'm still in a coma, I've inhaled too much drug, I need to see a doctor."

Hua Rong nodded, then asked Zhu Dian, "Whose child is he?"

Zhu Tong quickly replied: "The prefect of Cangzhou, he is the young son of the prefect of Cangzhou, can the general send him back?"

Hua Rong ordered the lieutenant general: "Find someone to send the child back."

"Yes!" The deputy ordered a few subordinates and handed over the child to them, "Must" send him to the government office safely. "

After his subordinates left, Hua Rong then asked Zhu Dian, "Who is the black-faced man who wants to beat the child? And who is the person who is addicted to smoking?"

"Hit the child?" Zhu Tong was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a sudden realization expression. He punched the ground and roared, "You despicable villain!"

Hua Rong asked sharply, "Stop talking nonsense, who are they? What's your relationship?"

Zhu Tong held back his anger and told the whole thing.Today he took Xiao Ya Nei to the temple fair, and met his good brother Lei Heng on the street, so he handed Xiao Ya Nei over to the boy to guard for a while, and went to talk to Lei Heng himself.Unexpectedly, Lei Heng took him to meet Wu Yong, the military commander of Liangshan, and he rejected the two people's suggestions to persuade him to fall into the grass. Unexpectedly, the accomplices of the two people tied up Xiao Ya Nei to force him to submit.

Zhu Tong was full of remorse: "I didn't expect that they would force me by killing Xiao Ya Nei!"

As soon as he heard Liangshan Huarong, he thought of Song Jiang, and his relatives who were almost killed, his teeth were gnashing.

"Adjutant, let people guard the four gates of Cangzhou City, and make sure that no fly can fly out!"

"Yes!"

"Go and evacuate the people gathered in the city. I beat that black-faced man into a vicious man. Even if he is injured, he can swing an ax to kill people. Before we find him, we must ensure the safety of the people."

"Yes!"

"Take this man to the cell in the barracks." After Hua Rong finished speaking, he squatted in front of Zhu Dian, his eyes were extremely cold: "You'd better tell the truth, if this general finds out that you are connected with Liangshan bandits, this general will let you You have no place to die!"

Cold sweat broke out on Zhu Ting's forehead, and he could see that the young general in front of him was telling the truth.

The magistrate's son was almost killed, and Liangshan bandits mixed into the city, and one of them was a murderous maniac. After these news spread, the whole Cangzhou was in turmoil.The common people stayed at home obediently, and all the vendors on the street were closed. Everyone prayed that the court would catch the bandits as soon as possible.

After three days of carpet search, they still found nothing. The three of them seemed to disappear out of thin air, and Hua Rong was so angry that he smashed several sets of teacups.

"General, there is no way to go on like this. After a long time, the people will complain.

Huarong knew that the adjutant's words made sense, but he had a premonition that the person he was looking for must still be in the city.

"Search again, look for another two days." Huarong's tone was full of unwillingness, but he really couldn't find anyone, and he couldn't let his subordinates continue. The people in the city always have to live normally.

"Go and bring that Zhu Tong up, the general should have a good chat with him."

"As ordered!"

Huarong took a deep breath. The reputation of the Liangshan bandits as "walking the sky" has spread to Cangzhou, but their "walking the sky" is to slaughter innocent children for their own selfishness?This is simply a joke!Slowly exhaling the breath in his mouth, his mood calmed down, and it was imperative to attack Liangshan. Before that, temporarily suppress the fighting spirit and collect more information.
