Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Under the big willow tree, more than a dozen men were guarding, and one of them was beating the hanging man with a willow branch broken from the tree.In Taohuazhuang, one can faintly hear the guests being feasted.

Zhou Tong, who was hanging on the big willow tree, heard the noise of people on the road, turned his head to look hard, and saw that Li Zhong was coming with the people from Peach Blossom Mountain, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Brother, save me!"

2 chapters encircle and wipe out Taohuashan

oops!The man on the tree is really my brother!

When Li Zhong heard Zhou Tong hanging from the tree calling for help, he confirmed that the man was Zhou Tong, the Lord of the Second Village.

hateful!Well, you old thief from Peach Blossom Village, how dare you humiliate my hero on Peach Blossom Mountain like this!Torture my brother like this!If I don't kill you Zhuangzi today, I, Li Zhong, swear not to be a human being!

"Boys, rush to me, save the master of the second village, and kill all the birdmen in the village!" Li Zhong pointed his spear, and led the young men to rush to the gate of the village.

"Wu that group of thieves! Take a shot from me!" At this moment, Luan Tingyu rode a horse with a gun, and led a team to rush out from the back of Taohuazhuang, just in time to intercept Li Zhong's team.

"It's that guy who captured the Second Village Master!" A young man who knew Luan Tingyu shouted.

Li Zhong listened, he was really jealous when he met his enemy, he yelled and rode his horse towards Luan Tingyu.Li Zhongxin said, the number [-] on the opposite side is the defensive force of Taohuazhuang, right?This Peach Blossom Manor really knows what it can do, how can it withstand the large number of people in my Peach Blossom Mountain?As long as all these farmers are killed, the people in the village will be at their mercy!

Li Zhong had a wishful thinking in his heart, but when he fought Luan Tingyu immediately, he broke out in a cold sweat, why is the guy opposite him so strong in martial arts?

Li Zhong is just a man who makes a living selling medicine with guns and sticks. Because of his strong body, people in the world call him a tiger fighter.It's a pity that this person's martial arts is only second or third rate, so he can't beat a tiger.He just used this name to sell some fake tiger bone medicines.

At this time, facing Luan Tingyu, a general with high martial arts skills, Li Zhong would not be an opponent. After three or five rounds of fighting, he has already lost his hands and feet.

Li Zhong groaned in his heart, and wanted to run away when he beat his horse.How could Luan Tingyu let him escape, he stabbed Li Zhong in the vest with one shot and knocked Li Zhong off his horse.

Seeing that Li Zhong had been killed, the young people in Peach Blossom Mountain lost all morale and fled back to Peach Blossom Mountain with a shout.

At this time, only the sound of gongs and drums could be heard in all directions, smoke and dust billowed, and the sound of killing shook the sky.Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting led the troops to rush out from both sides, blocking the path of the bandits.

"The army of Qingzhou City is ordered to suppress thieves, and you are already surrounded! Those who disarm will not be killed, and those who resist will die!" The shouts of officers and soldiers sounded all around.

The gangsters and gangsters in Peach Blossom Mountain had no leader, they stood in place and circled around like headless chickens.

Some fierce robbers shouted: "Don't believe the words of the officers and soldiers, let's fight out together!" Accompanied by their shouts, dozens of robbers rushed towards Ximen Qing and the others.

Well done!My Yanling Saber is screaming in its scabbard, ready to drink the thief's blood!Ximen Qing drew out his two sabers and rode his horse to meet him.

Jiao Ting also rushed into the group of robbers from another direction.

Since Ximen Qing learned the two swords in Hujiazhuang, he has experienced several battles and has become proficient in the two swords on horseback.In addition, in his hands are two precious knives that can cut iron like mud, which is even more powerful and unstoppable.

The dozens of thugs rushed not far away before they were blocked by Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting.I saw Ximen Qing slashing left and right with two knives, causing the heads of the robbers on both sides to fly and spurt blood wildly.Jiao Ting also wielded a thick-backed machete, cutting each of the fleeing robbers into two pieces.

After a few sprints back and forth, there was no more bandit standing in front of Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting's horses, and the dozens of bandits who took the lead in fleeing were all buried under the swords of Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting.

"Forgive me~ forgive me~ I am willing to surrender! I am willing to surrender!" Seeing that Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting are so powerful, and there is a unparalleled warrior behind him who stabbed the head of the village to death with a few shots, all the bandits I was so scared that I lost my fighting spirit.

Smoke and dust billowed in the surrounding area, and the sound of killing shook the sky. I don't know how many officers and soldiers are in ambush. Which robber would dare to take the risk to break through?

Hurling, more than [-] surviving robbers dropped their weapons and knelt down together, begging for their lives.

Three hundred sergeants led by Ximen Qing surrounded the bandits with knives and guns, watching the robbers who were kneeling on the ground.At this time, more than 100 dealers poured out from the gate of Taohuazhuang, holding ropes in their hands to tie up the robbers one by one.

Around Taohuazhuang, dozens of sergeants arranged by Ximenqing were leading a group of farmers beating gongs and drums, shouting loudly.Some people ran back and forth with horses dragging branches, raising waves of smoke and dust.

These people are suspicious soldiers under Ximenqing and Luan Tingyu, just like the time in Qianfo Mountain in Qizhou, they are to break down the morale of the bandits faster and reduce the casualties of the officers and soldiers on their side.

At this time, after receiving Ximen Qing's order, these sergeants and farmers stopped what they were doing, packed up and returned to Taohuazhuang.

When they returned to Taohuazhuang, they saw that the robbers were all tied up and knelt in several rows in front of the villa, surrounded by more than a hundred soldiers guarding the robbers with shining steel knives.Official Ximen Qing was reclining on a chair under the shade of a tree in front of the door, drinking tea while leisurely looking at the prisoners in front of the door.

Nothing to do!

After Ximen Qing, Luan Tingyu, and Jiao Ting interrogated the captives, they learned that Li Zhong had brought his young minions out of the nest, and there were only dozens of old and weak minions left in the village.

After asking about the details of Peach Blossom Mountain, Luan Tingyu and Jiao Ting asked Ying to go up the mountain to exterminate the remaining bandits and knock down the cottage on Peach Blossom Mountain.

Ximen Qing originally wanted to go out in person, but Luan Tingyu and Jiao Ting said that Ximen Qing was still pretending to be the bridegroom's official today, and it was not appropriate to run around anymore, so they snatched away the matter of attacking the cottage, and left Ximen Qing with the idle job of guarding the prisoners.

Seeing Luan Tingyu and Jiao Ting rushing up the mountain with two hundred soldiers excitedly, Ximen Qing had no choice but to go back to the manor, change into clean clothes, and come to the gate of the manor to have tea and rest, waiting for Luan Tingyu and the others to triumph.

When Liu Taigong saw that the sergeant and the village guests had come back from a hard work, he also asked the village to bring out good wine and meat to reward everyone in the open space in front of the village.

All the sergeants purposely sat next to the bandits who were tied up together, ate meat, drank in large bowls, shouted happily, and made fun of them, which made the bandits even more depressed.

It's no wonder that the soldiers of Qingfeng Village are so excited, because they have been threatened by bandits from Qingfeng Mountain and Peach Blossom Mountain for several years.

Over the past few years, Hua Rong, the deputy who knew the village, has been ignoring him, allowing the bandits to plunder around Qingfeng Village.Although Zhizhai Liu Gao intends to kill thieves, it is a pity that he is a civil servant and does not know how to lead troops to fight. In recent years, he has often suffered at the hands of robbers.

Having been crushed by bandits for several years, the soldiers of Qingfeng Village have long been suffocated, feeling that this is a great shame.This time Ximen Qing came and led them to break through Qingfengzhai and Taohuashan, and also grasped the Fa-rectification of the inner ghost Huarong who colluded with the robbers, which made these soldiers feel relieved.

snort!The people in Qingfengzhai are not cowards either. In the past, it was just that the superiors were not helpful, which made us unlucky.Now that the commander has changed, don't our soldiers in Qingfengzhai kill you thieves?

Thank you Wuyu Xie Tianya book friends for their valuable monthly votes!

Chapter 2 Eleven

About an hour later, Luan Tingyu and Jiao Ting returned victoriously with the captives and captured supplies.The cottage in Taohuashan has disappeared in a fire.

For the [-] sergeants who had suffered for a long time, Taohuazhuang naturally treated them with good wine and meat.

When the three hundred soldiers from Qingfeng Village were sent out by Huang Xin, Huang Xin lied to them, saying that this was a bandit suppression war arranged by Qingzhou Command.Therefore, kept in the dark, they didn't know that they were helping Ximen Qing with his personal affairs.

When troops are sent out on weekdays, it would be nice if each person in the village could give a few more white flour steamed buns. How could they be full of beef and mutton like today?

The soldiers in the village were all sighing, it was great to follow General Ximen and the others!Being able to win battles easily, and eating wine and meat, this soldier is really happy.

After the soldiers were full of wine and food, Ximen Qing and Luan Tingyu commanded them to set up camp outside the Peach Blossom Village.After a good night's rest, the prisoners will be escorted back to Qingfeng Village tomorrow.

Taohua Mountain was destroyed, "Tiger Fighter" Li Zhong was killed, and "Little Overlord" Zhou Tong finally completed his glorious mission of being a bait.Jiao Ting ordered Zhou Tong to be released from the willow tree and imprisoned in the barracks.

The rest of the robbers were also tied into a string with ropes, surrounded in the middle of the barracks, and arranged to be closely guarded by sergeants.

Seeing that the battlefield outside Taohuazhuang was cleaned up in an orderly manner, the three of Ximen Qing returned to Taohuazhuang.

When the guests in the Zhuangzi heard that the Taohuashan stronghold had been wiped out and that the bandits on the mountain had been captured outside the village, they all cheered and praised Ximenqing and the other three for being heroes.

The guests swarmed up, pulling each other, all rushing to have a glass of wine with the bridegroom official Ximenqing.

Ximen Qing drank dozens of glasses of wine in a daze, and he was a little tipsy even if he had a good capacity for alcohol.He quietly asked Luan Tingyu if it was time to tell everyone the truth and end this fake wedding?

Luan Tingyu told Ximenqing that Mrs. Liu spent a lot of time and energy to invite many neighbors and folks to support us in destroying the bandits in Taohuashan today.Let's act out this fake show today, so that the villagers will be happy for a day, and it will not be too late to explain it to everyone tomorrow.

Perhaps Ximenqing had eaten too much wine, but Ximenqing actually thought that what Luan Tingyu said made some sense.So Ximen Qing didn't mention this matter, and returned to the banquet to exchange glasses with everyone, continuing to play the role of his son-in-law.

I don't know when it was time to eat, Ximen Qing was already very drunk.In a daze, Ximen Qing was helped back to his room and fell asleep.
