Zhu Gui sent people out to inquire about the Birth Orbit and soon got the news. The team that was escorting the Birth Orbit had already passed Fan County in Puzhou and was heading towards Yuncheng County.
Knowing that there were only 30 people, Xu Fengwu ordered 100 elites, only bringing Song Wan and Ruan Xiaoqi, and dressed up as merchants to quietly descend the mountain.
……
The weather in June was scorching hot.
On a road at the border of Jeju and Puzhou, a group of carriages was slowly advancing. On each of the ten Taiping carts, there was a small yellow flag with the words 'To congratulate the Grand Preceptor's birthday' written on it.
Beside each carriage, there was a prefectural soldier with a bow on his back and a saber in his hand, as well as two military guards with sabers and clubs.
Under the scorching sun, the prefectural soldiers and the military soldiers were sweating profusely. They were all listless, and the spears and clubs in their hands had become crutches.
The leader of the group was a strong soldier. He held a spear in his hand and led the way. After the convoy moved forward for a while, they saw a mound in the distance.
The leading soldier immediately reminded them," The Yellow Mud Ridge is right in front of us. There are always strong people who cut the road. All of you, stay alert!"”
One of the prefectural soldiers muttered," The past two years of escorting the birthday scrolls have all passed through this yellow mud mound. I don't see any strong people. The weather is so hot. Why don't we find a place to rest?"”
"Why are you resting? When we reach Yuncheng County, there will be good wine and meat. If anything happens to your birthday, be careful of your heads.”The leading soldier shouted.
Right at this moment, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out. Before anyone could react, they saw the soldier let out a blood-curdling scream and fell backward.
The remaining prefectural soldiers and soldiers were all shocked. They hurriedly looked at the soldier, only to find that an arrow had appeared out of nowhere and pierced his neck.
"Kill-"
Without waiting for the soldiers to react, Xu Fengwu, who had been hiding by the side of the road for a long time, suddenly let out a roar and led his minions to attack.
"Not good! Bandits!"
"Oh my god, run for your lives!"
"How can there be strong people in a peaceful world?”
Amidst the cries of alarm, the thirty prefectural soldiers and soldiers did not even put up the most basic resistance. They abandoned their vehicles and fled in all directions.
"Don't let any of them go!"
Xu Fengwu wielded a steel blade and chopped down two prefectural soldiers in the blink of an eye. This time, he wanted to keep this a secret, so naturally, no one could escape.
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Wan and Ruan Xiaoqi had already brought another group of people and surrounded them from the side.
Ruan Xiaoqi held a steel knife and rushed to the front. She took down a soldier with one move. The other minions also cooperated, making these soldiers have nowhere to run.
Some of the escorts who were afraid of death, seeing that they could not escape, all lay on the ground and begged for their lives!
Unfortunately, Xu Fengwu had already ordered that no one should be spared. They could only blame these people for their bad luck.
In a short while, the thirty prefectural soldiers, soldiers, and the leading soldiers had all become corpses, while only a few people on the Liangshan side were injured.
"Brother, Grand Preceptor Dog's birthday is here.”Ruan Xiaoqi wiped the blood off her face and said excitedly to Xu Fengwu.
Xu Fengwu nodded and opened a box. It was a box of gold and silver items. The bowls, plates, and other utensils were all made of gold and silver.
"Damn it, all the food is made of gold. These dog officials are too extravagant.”Ruan Xiaoqi couldn't help but widen his eyes. The lackeys behind him also gulped.
"Alright! First, he would clean up the corpses and then leave with the box.”Seeing that there was no problem with the birthday plan, Xu Fengwu immediately revealed a satisfied expression.
Following his order, Song Wan and Second Ruan led their lackeys and threw the corpses into the bushes by the roadside. The Taiping carts also gathered together and set fire to them.
After he was done, Xu Fengwu ordered his lackeys to carry the box and disappeared into the path.
……
At the entrance of the Li Family.
Ever since Xu Fengwu became the Fort Master, Li Jiadaokou's hotel had stopped doing illegal business. Other than secretly gathering all kinds of information, the rest was no different from ordinary hotels.
Zhu Gui was now in charge of money, food, and intelligence. Apart from Lijiadaokou, he also opened three new hotels in the east, west, and south of Liangshan Lake to gather information.
Usually, Zhu Gui would only come to the entrance of the Li family's road to take a look and not stay here all the time.
"The weather is too hot. My clothes are all wet. There's a hotel up ahead. Let's go in and have a seat.”A fat monk wiped his sweat and said to the three people beside him.
Among the three people, two of them were dressed as government laborers. The remaining one had a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's neck and a tiger's beard. He was about 34 or 35 years old, but he was dressed as a criminal.
The two males were already burning hot. When they heard the fat monk's words, they hurriedly nodded their heads.
Immediately, the four of them walked into the hotel. The waiter hurriedly came up to them and asked with a smile,"Are the four of you here to queue up or to stay?”
The fat monk didn't answer the waiter first. Instead, he looked at the two men and shouted,""You two, go sit at that table!”
"Yes, sir! Yes!"
The two men quickly smiled apologetically and took their luggage to sit at the table beside them.
The group of four was already eye-catching enough. Now, this fat monk was even ordering the two men around, making the waiter very curious.
"Master, are you from Tokyo?" the waiter asked.”
"Why are you asking so many questions? If you have good wine and meat, bring them all. I won't pay less for your wine.”The monk had a loud voice, which made the waiter's ears hurt.
"Grandmaster, please wait for a moment. I'll go prepare the wine and meat now.”
The waiter quickly smiled apologetically and went straight down to prepare the wine and meat, but he could not help but mutter in his heart, Which monk would call himself a monk? This monk was really strange.
"Brother, sit down and have something to eat.”
"Thank you for taking care of me along the way!"
The fat monk called out to the prisoner and the two of them sat down together.
It turned out that this fat monk was none other than the Flowery Monk, Lu Zhishen. Beside him was Leopard Head, Lin Chong. The two males were Dong Chao and Xue Ba.
Lin Chong was framed by Gao Qiu and was sent to Cangzhou. Dong Chao and Xue Ba had benefited from it and wanted to end his life on the way, but they were saved by Lu Zhishen in the Wild Boar Forest.
Under Lin Chong's pleading, Lu Zhishen spared the two men. However, he was worried that the two would play tricks again, so he planned to escort Lin Chong all the way to Cangzhou. Now, the four of them happened to pass by Jeju.
A moment later, the waiter and the others served the wine and meat. Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong were also hungry. They drank two large bowls of wine and ate with the cut meat.
Suddenly, Lu Zhishen raised his head and asked the waiter,"Waiter, on my way here, I heard that there is a Liangshan Lake in Jeju. Recently, it has caused a lot of trouble and defeated the Jeju government army.”
The waiter chuckled and said," That's true. Our hotel is not far from the lake. If Master is interested, you can go to the lake to take a look."”
"There's actually such a giant bandit in the capital region?" Lin Chong asked in surprise.”
Dong Chao and Xue Ba, who were sitting in the corner, were also speechless. They thought to themselves that these bandits were so powerful that they could even defeat the government troops of Jeju?
Were the bandits too powerful, or were the imperial guards too weak?
Lu Zhishen asked,"Since that group of thieves is right next to us, how dare you open a hotel here? Aren't you afraid that the thieves will come and rob us?"”
The waiter smiled." Master, you might not know this. That Liang Shanpo 'enforces justice on behalf of the heavens, eliminating the violent and appeasing the good'. He only kills the tyrants and evil gentry and never harms the common people. If he beats up a tycoon, he will even distribute food to the surrounding people.”
"Is there such a thing?"
When Lu Zhishen heard this, he could not help but feel stunned. Even Lin Chong had a surprised expression.
