Chapter 95

Li Xinyue looked at Yu Heng, who suddenly slapped himself, and a look of sympathy flashed in her eyes.

Such a good child, how did he go crazy?

Jiang Jinshi and Wang Hou on this side were galloping on the official road on horseback, and didn't stop when passing Lin City, heading towards Qingcheng with a clear goal.

Everything was fine along the way, but they didn't expect to be stopped when they were eight miles away from Qingcheng.

Jiang Jinshi looked at the rope pulled straight in front and stopped the horse, saying to Wang Hou beside him: "It seems we are in trouble."

Wang Hou drew his short sword and held it in his hand, his expression becoming extremely serious.

Such a rope was specifically for stopping horses, first placed on the ground and covered with sand or gravel, and then pulled up from both ends when the horse was about to pass, which could trip the horse.

If Jiang Jinshi hadn't been sharp-eyed, I'm afraid the horse under him would have taken a tumble today.

Apart from peers, Jiang Jinshi couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing on the official road.

Sure enough, the next moment, more than a dozen big men jumped out from the side of the road, all holding weapons in their hands.

At this time, Jiang Jinshi still had the mind to joke with Wang Hou, "Tsk tsk! Professional! Our Yangguangzhai also needs to learn."

"Chief, still can't be careless!"

Wang Hou knew Jiang Jinshi's martial arts were not bad, but he was still a bit worried about facing more than a dozen people.

In contrast, Jiang Jinshi had a relaxed expression, not taking the mountain bandits in front of him seriously at all.

You have to know that the soul of Xiang Yu had been strengthening his combat power, and it still hadn't reached the limit until now, even if the two small squad leaders of his Yangguangzhai joined forces, he could easily deal with them.

"Hey! What are the two monkeys over there whispering about? Why don't you get off your horses and surrender quickly."

The leading mountain bandit was a bit disappointed that the trap didn't trip the two people's horses, but he didn't expect these two people not to turn around and leave. They were probably fools from somewhere!

More than a dozen people surrounded Jiang Jinshi and Wang Hou in a circle, and after ensuring that the two could not escape, the leading mountain bandit laughed.

"Robbery! Leave everything on your bodies and these two horses."

Jiang Jinshi drew his big knife, wanting to test the level of his peers, "Want it? Then come and take it!"

Seeing that both of them held weapons, the leading mountain bandit sneered: "Toasting not eating fine wine, brothers, go!"

Just the moment the other party finished speaking, Jiang Jinshi made the first move, supported himself on the horse's back with one hand, leaped up, and went straight towards the other party with his big knife raised.

The leading mountain bandit didn't expect Jiang Jinshi to be so decisive, and in a panic, he raised the big knife in his hand to defend.

"Ding!"

The moment the two knives collided, some sparks splashed into the air, and a powerful suppression force was transmitted from the knife body to the hand gripping the handle.

"Bang!"

The big knife fell to the ground and made a dull sound. The mountain bandit looked at the big knife that had slipped from his hand in disbelief, and then looked at his red-handed tiger's mouth, completely not understanding what was going on.

The battle ended as soon as it began. When Jiang Jinshi's feet landed, the big knife was already pointed at the other party's head.

Jiang Jinshi didn't expect the other party to be so weak, his full-force strike had knocked the other party's knife away.

The surrounding mountain bandits were also stunned. The captain had just ordered to do it, and he himself was captured and knelt down to beg for mercy. So, should they fight or not?

"Thump!"

The mountain bandit captain, pointed at by Jiang Jinshi's big knife, knelt on both knees with a thud.

"Good sir, spare my life!"

"You don't want my money anymore?" Jiang Jinshi raised an eyebrow.

"Don't want it, don't want it!" The mountain bandit captain shook his head like a rattle, fearing he would be slashed if he were a step slower.

"What about the horses? You don't want them either?"

"Don't dare to want, don't dare to want!"

Hearing this, Jiang Jinshi felt a bit bored and slowly put down his big knife and said: "Ask you a few things, answer them and I'll let you go."

The mountain bandit captain nodded frequently, and only after seeing the big knife was not pointed at him did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The other mountain bandits didn't dare to move even more; didn't they see their own captain still kneeling!

"What is your mountain stronghold called?" Jiang Jinshi carried his big knife, preparing to probe the other party's background first.

"Yangguangzhai! There are 153 people in the whole stronghold." The mountain bandit captain didn't hesitate at all and answered clearly immediately.

Hearing the answer, Jiang Jinshi was stunned, and turning his head to look at Wang Hou, he was the same.

Your mountain stronghold is Yangguangzhai, then what is our mountain stronghold?

Jiang Jinshi squinted his eyes and continued to ask: "Is it the Yangguangzhai that robbed Jiangcheng?"

Speaking of this, the mountain bandit captain's kneeling spine straightened up quite a bit, and he said proudly: "That's right, our mountain stronghold is the Yangguangzhai that dared to rob Jiangcheng, and our stronghold king is the legendary, Yangguang Old Ghost!"

People really will laugh when they are speechless, and now Jiang Jinshi understood the meaning of this sentence, because he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Haha! Isn't Yangguangzhai near Jiangcheng? Why did it run to Qingcheng? Do you think I don't know?"

Facing Jiang Jinshi's three questions in a row, the other party was not only not scared but instead said righteously: "This brother, you don't know, such a big thing as robbing Jiangcheng, how could our Yangguangzhai still be active near Jiangcheng? So we moved to this Qingcheng."

"Oh! This has not been heard of." Jiang Jinshi felt this matter was quite interesting, actually someone was using his name to swindle outside.

Did you pay the copyright fee? You used my Yangguangzhai's name, and you dared to call yourself Yangguang Old Ghost?

Wang Hou on the horse almost laughed out loud, seeing his own Chief was still acting, he could only hold back his laughter with a flushed face.

Seeing that the other party had heard of his "Yangguangzhai" name, the mountain bandit captain didn't kneel anymore, stood up, and said to Jiang Jinshi: "I see that the two of you are also good hands, why not join our Yangguangzhai and eat and drink spicy food with the stronghold king Yangguang Old Ghost!"

Jiang Jinshi first pretended to be thoughtful, and then pretended to say: "To tell you the truth, I have also admired Yangguang Old Ghost for a long time, I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to meet the brothers of Yangguangzhai today, this is really fate!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Hou guessed Jiang Jinshi's idea. This was to go up the mountain to capture the fake goods!

In fact, Jiang Jinshi also thought so. Although his Yangguangzhai didn't have a good reputation, it wasn't something you could use just because you wanted to.

It would be fine if he hadn't discovered it, but since he had discovered it, the other party had to bear the corresponding consequences.

Hearing Jiang Jinshi say this, the mountain bandit captain's posture immediately came up.

"Although your martial arts are not bad, you can only be considered middle-level in the stronghold, but don't worry, if I recommend you, the stronghold king will definitely accept you."

After speaking, the mountain bandit captain raised his head proudly, looking forward to the two people's admiration.

This bragging made Jiang Jinshi want to give the other party a like. You are only middle-level among more than a hundred people, why don't you say you can go to heaven?

Of course, on the surface, Jiang Jinshi had a humble and teachable appearance, almost writing the word "worship" on his forehead.

Seeing that Jiang Jinshi's attitude was so "sincere", the mountain bandit captain immediately indicated that he would take the two of them up the mountain to see the stronghold king "Yangguang Old Ghost".

He was still secretly thinking in his heart that he brought such fierce people up the mountain, this could also be considered a merit, maybe the stronghold king would reward him with a meal of meat if he was happy.

The reason he dared to brag but didn't dare to manipulate Jiang Jinshi was here. The other party's martial arts were not low, and he was afraid that it wouldn't be long before he became one of the top figures in the stronghold, and by then he would have to rely on him!

A group of mountain bandits were also speechless. In a short period of time, first they robbed the other party, then their own captain was captured and knelt down to beg for mercy, and as a result, the other party actually went up the mountain to become an outlaw with them.

It can only be said that life is full of drama at all times, and you never know what will happen in the next moment.

Jiang Jinshi didn't stay idle on the way, continuing to ask the other party about the news of "Yangguangzhai".

"Brother, Yangguangzhai can rob Jiangcheng, there should be many people! Why are there only more than a hundred people?"

The mountain bandit captain sighed with regret, "You don't know, although the stronghold king Yangguang Old Ghost robbed Jiangcheng, the loss was huge, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the government, he had to move here.

If it weren't for this, my Yangguangzhai is a big mountain stronghold with thousands of people!"

Speaking to the end, the other party puffed out his chest, completely looking like he was proud of Yangguangzhai.

"So you all came from Jiangcheng?" At this time, Jiang Jinshi asked the key question.

The mountain bandit captain laughed: "That's not it, we are local mountain bandits, we only joined after Yangguangzhai came here, our stronghold was Fengyunzhai before, the stronghold king admired Yangguangzhai very much, so he took the brothers to join Yangguangzhai together."

Jiang Jinshi's mouth twitched unconsciously when he heard this. Listening to this, the original stronghold king of this Fengyunzhai seemed to have a bad brain and was deceived!

"Then what about your previous stronghold king now?" Jiang Jinshi was very curious about what kind of role this "talent" was playing now!

"Now he is the second stronghold king of Yangguangzhai, very majestic!" Speaking of this, the mountain bandit captain was full of worship. The second stronghold king of Yangguangzhai, this is one of the top positions in the green forest road at present!

At this moment, Jiang Jinshi was not angry at all, his mind was full of curiosity about what kind of character this person who impersonated him was.

Soon this mystery could be revealed. After this mountain bandit captain took Jiang Jinshi and Wang Hou into the mountain stronghold, Jiang Jinshi also took the opportunity to look at this "Yangguangzhai".

There wasn't even a decent building here, mostly thatched houses supported by a few wooden sticks, and there wasn't even a door, completely incomparable to his own Yangguangzhai.

It wasn't evening yet, but most of the thatched houses had people lying down, which made Jiang Jinshi a bit puzzled.

"It's not dark yet! Why is everyone sleeping?"

"Oh! This is what the stronghold king said, reducing activities can reduce consumption, so we can eat less." The mountain bandit captain didn't seem surprised that Jiang Jinshi would ask such a question.

Jiang Jinshi hadn't had time to speak, and the mountain bandit captain was afraid that Jiang Jinshi would be scared by this difficult environment, so he continued to explain.

"Our stronghold king said, this is heaven-sent responsibility something something, anyway, it's that we must be hungry to achieve a great thing.

And don't look at our environment being so bad here, I'll tell you secretly, this is all temporary, after we rest and regroup, we are preparing to kill into Qingcheng and occupy the city to be king!"

In the end, the other party's voice got smaller and smaller, fearing that others would hear it.

Jiang Jinshi pricked up his ears to hear it clearly, and immediately his brain crashed. What the hell is occupying the city to be king, he himself had to run away after making Jiangcheng look like that, fearing being wiped out by the Prince of Zhenbei's troops!

They were good, more than a hundred people wanted to fight Qingcheng, and the way of resting and regrouping was to let everyone be hungry?

Where did these "big smarts" come from, these ideas and words were not like things people could think of at all.

But the key to the problem was here, this group of people actually... believed it!

Could it be that where there is a "Wolong", there will be a "Fengchu"?

At this time, the mountain bandit captain took Jiang Jinshi to a slightly larger thatched house, first signaled Jiang Jinshi not to talk nonsense, and then respectfully stepped forward and said.

"Stronghold king, met two brothers when robbing the road today, their martial arts are not bad, they admire your prestige very much, and want to join our Yangguangzhai, I have brought people up now."

"Oh? Bring them in to see!" A voice came from the house, but it made Jiang Jinshi feel a bit familiar, just couldn't remember where he heard it for a while.

After getting the stronghold king's permission, the mountain bandit captain walked to Jiang Jinshi and lowered his voice, "Don't worry! With me here, you will definitely be able to join, don't be nervous."

Jiang Jinshi nodded and followed the other party into the thatched house with Wang Hou.

There were two people sitting in the house, one was big and thick with a full face of beard, naked upper body wrapped in tiger skin, the chest hair was extremely lush and the lumps of meat all over the body were also particularly conspicuous, he was the second stronghold king of "Yangguangzhai".

Jiang Jinshi really knew the leader. If he hadn't seen the other party's face, Jiang Jinshi would have almost forgotten the other party's name, the former steward of Magistrate Liu, Old Wu!

Old Wu was kicked by Jiang Jinshi at the gate of the Magistrate's mansion at that time, but he didn't take his life.

As the steward of Magistrate Liu, although he only held the position for a few days, he still knew very well what Jiang Jinshi was doing!

Especially when he learned that Magistrate Liu was killed by Jiang Jinshi, he didn't dare to stay in Jiangcheng at all.

You have to know that once Magistrate Liu died, the city was in chaos, and if the Prefecture Governor turned back and sent someone down to investigate, he would definitely not be able to run away.

If he told the truth to the Prefecture Governor, Jiang Jinshi would definitely target him, and if he didn't tell the truth, the Prefecture Governor wouldn't let him go.

Thinking about it, Old Wu was more and more afraid, so he hardened his heart, went to scrape some money and food that Yangguangzhai didn't rob, and left Jiangcheng in a hurry.

But what he didn't know was that Jiang Jinshi didn't take him to heart at all.

Old Wu was originally drinking tea in a leisurely mood, but the moment he saw Jiang Jinshi walk in, the tea he just entered his mouth was sprayed out immediately.

Jiang Jinshi and Wang Hou looked at Old Wu with a strange expression. Wang Hou had followed him for a period of time in order to know the location of Magistrate Liu's granary, so he was not unfamiliar with him.

The second stronghold king of "Yangguangzhai" was still asking him with concern, "Big brother, is the tea too hot?"

Old Wu couldn't say a word, and could only shake his head.

His heart had already set off a stormy sea, it's over! Everything is over!

Jiang Jinshi really chased here to kill him!

The mountain bandit captain who didn't know why saw no one speaking, and hurriedly introduced to the two.

"These two are the brothers I met down the mountain today, their martial arts are indeed good, I fought three hundred rounds with them, and finally lost half a move because of a small gap.

But we were like old friends at first sight, and finally found that they actually admired the stronghold king very much, just like me! So I thought about bringing them up the mountain for you to see."

"Shut up, you idiot! Stop bragging!"

Old Wu cursed, and then knelt down to Jiang Jinshi with a mournful face.

"Chief Jiang, spare my dog life!"
