The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 383

In Zengtou City, the main hall of the Zeng family mansion.

Holding a few booklets in his hands, Zhu Wu reported to Mu Xu, "Village Master, the money, food and horses in Zengtou City have been counted, and all have been registered in the booklet. Please also have a look at the village master."

After taking the booklet from Zhu Wu, Mu Xu glanced at the money and food, and then set his eyes on the page recording the horses. Then a smile appeared on his face, and he sighed,

"This Zeng family really did not disappoint. It has nearly [-] horses, and most of them are high-quality war horses."

Zhu Wu said with a smile, "Congratulations to the village master, with this batch of horses, we can form a large cavalry in Liangshan, and we will be able to attack Hedong in the future."

"It's just enough for the time being. Without a place to raise horses, it's not a long-term solution after all. What did the old man say, does his family have a stable source of horses?"

Zhu Wu said regretfully, "I disappointed the village owner. I personally interrogated Zeng Nong. His family's war horse was smuggled from Jurchen by Zeng Nong's previous tribal relationship. Established, this channel is also unreliable.”

Mu Xu sneered and said, "Since it's useless to me, what's the use of keeping their father and son? Pass on my order, transfer Pei Xuan to Zengtou City, call the people to hold a complaint meeting, and give me a good trial of the Zeng family father and son." !"

Zhu Wu was taken aback, and wanted to say something, so he listened to the report from the guards at the door, "I will report to the village master, Chief Shi and others to see me."

"Invite him to come in!" Mu Xu replied, then frowned slightly, and secretly said, "Once we have a separate territory, we must establish a complete system, otherwise we will always be called leaders, and there will be no face-to-face some."

Just when Mu Xu was considering which dynasty system should be used as a reference, Shi Wengong came in with Su Ding and Yu Bao who had already surrendered, and after paying respects to Mu Xu, he replied, "The three villages in the east, west and south have been successfully surrendered. I’m here to give orders to the village master.”

Mu Xu smiled and said, "I'm sorry for the three brothers. After returning to Liangshan, we will reward you for your merits."

The faces of the three were filled with joy, but their mouths became humble in unison.Naturally, Mu Xu didn't take these words seriously. He invited the three of them to sit down and asked Yu Baosi, "I heard that brother Yu and that gun general Dong Ping are old acquaintances. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Yu Baosi respectfully said, "Brother Mingjian, the younger one has a few encounters with that Dong Ping, but it's not a life-and-death friendship."

"That's enough. I have something to ask you to do. If you can do it well, I will remember you as a great achievement!"

Yu Baosi was worried because he was a newcomer, and his martial arts were far inferior to Shi Wengong and Su Ding, so he was even more worried.Hearing Mu Xu's words at this moment, it was like falling asleep on a pillow, and he patted his chest in a hurry to promise,
"Even though elder brother orders, younger brother will go through fire and water, and will die!"

Yu Baosi didn't know, but in Mu Xu's heart, he was even more important than Shi Wengong, and the reason was simple, that is, he knew how to raise horses.So hearing what Yu Baosi said, Mu Xu said,

"Don't say that. Everything should be done with the safety of your brothers in mind. If you can't do something, you don't have to force it."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Yu Baosi, but also Shi Wengong and Su Ding were secretly moved, and felt that it was a very wise move to seek refuge with Mu Xu.

Mu Xu didn't care what they thought, but he just told him earnestly, "You take some people with you today to meet Dong Ping. After meeting him, you will be like this..."

At the end, he asked Yu Baosi, "Do you remember clearly?"

Yu Baosi replied solemnly, "Don't worry, elder brother, younger brother will definitely live up to his mission."

On a mountain path leading from Dongping Prefecture to Zengtou City, there was a large army lined up like a long snake, marching hard against the scorching sun.

At the front of the team was the leading general, with a handsome face, and a small flag stuck in a quiver on his back, on which was written, "Heroic general with two spears, a man of ten thousand households."

But it is said that Dong Ping, under the order of Cheng Wanli, the governor of Dongping Prefecture, led [-] soldiers and horses to help Zengtou city day and night.It's just that after leaving Dongping Mansion, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the weather is extremely hot. With Dong Ping's impatient temper, how can he bear it?
He was riding on the horse at this time, slapping the mount under his crotch desperately, and cursing, "That dog officer Cheng Wanli, who has collected so much money from the Zeng family, has troubled this general to save the Zeng family, it's his mother's bad luck! "

"Sir, there is someone ahead!"

Hearing the reminder from his own soldiers, Dong Ping hurriedly reined in the horse, raised his hands and looked around, and saw a dozen men coming out of the mountain road in front of him, and the leader was extremely tall.

Before Dong Ping could make a clear identification, he heard the tall man shout, "But Supervisor Dong Du is in front of him, and the villain Yu Baosi is here to meet you at the order of Master Zeng."

When Dong Ping heard that it was Yu Baosi, he immediately put down his vigilance and ordered his left and right to invite him over.When Yu Baosi approached, Dong Ping sat down and asked immediately, "Then Zeng Nong couldn't hold on anymore, and you specially asked you to rush me?"

Seeing Dong Ping's arrogance, Yu Bao couldn't help being secretly angry, thinking, "It's a good thing I still boasted in front of Brother Mu, saying that I was an old acquaintance with this guy, I didn't expect him to be so rude! Anyway, if that's the case, don't blame me Don't miss the old relationship."

Making up his mind, Yu Baosi put on a smile and said, "Where is the capital prison? The Liangshan bandits fought around Zengtou City for a few days, but failed to take advantage of it. I don't know where they got the news. The general led the troops here, and those thieves were afraid of the general's reputation, so they went back home last night."

Dong Ping has always thought highly of himself, otherwise he wouldn't be bragging about himself, so he would brag about himself with a small flag on his back.So when he heard Yu Baosi's words, he didn't have any doubts at all, and laughed loudly, "You have no guts, you are just about to let them try my two guns, and if you don't want to run away, it's really a bargain for them!"

After laughing, he said unhappily again, "Damn it, in this way, am I just running for nothing?"

Yu Baosi hurried forward, grabbed Dong Ping's rein, and said in a low voice, "Why did the supervisor say that, how dare you make your hard work in vain? Before my little one came, Master Zeng ordered me to Please go to Zengtou City to rest for two days, and send it with your heart."

Speaking of this, he suddenly yelled loudly again, "The villain was ordered by Master Zeng to come here specially to work in the army, and today he brought more than a dozen loads of good wine. Please use it first. Wine and meat treats."

A smile finally appeared on Dong Ping's face, and he said triumphantly, "For he has learned a lot."

While speaking, Dong Ping got off his horse and ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, while he himself took a group of school officers, found a shade with Yu Baosi, and sat down to eat wine.

This meal lasted for more than an hour, and when the sun was setting, Dong Ping remounted his horse drunkenly, and led the army towards Zengtou City under the leadership of Yu Baosi.

When they arrived at Zengtou City, it was almost dusk, Yu Baosi said at the right time, "Captain, Dongzhai has been vacated, but the generals and horses can be stationed there."

Dong Ping nodded in satisfaction, and sent his generals to resettle the army, while he took ten followers and swaggered into the main village of Zengtou City.Entering the village, under the guidance of Yu Baosi, a group of people came to the Zeng family mansion.

When passing by the courtyard, Dong Ping saw patrolling soldiers all around, and the behavior of these people was quite different from that of ordinary Zhuang Ding, they were obviously well-trained elite soldiers.That's all, but since he arrived in Zengtou City, no one from the Zeng family has come to greet him, which is too unreasonable.

Thinking of these questions, Dong Ping woke up in a frightened drink, with a layer of cold sweat on his back, he couldn't help holding the two guns in his hand, and asked calmly,

"Brother Yu, why didn't you see Master Zeng and his son?"

As soon as Yu Baosi entered Zeng's house, he secretly kept an eye on Dong Ping's movements to prevent him from violently injuring others.Therefore, he had discovered Dong Ping's abnormality earlier, and he knew that he was no match for Dong Ping, so when he heard Dong Ping's question, he immediately ran wildly, and rushed into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Dong Ping saw this situation, how could he not know that he was being tricked, he saw his eyes widened, as if he was going to eat people, he gritted his teeth and said, "You thief, I trust you so much in vain, how dare you harm me? !"

Yu Baosi waited to refute, but was patted on the shoulder from behind. He turned his head to see that it was Mu Xu who had come, so he heard him say, "Brother Yu, stop arguing with him, I'll talk to him."

"Who are you?" Dong Ping shouted sternly.

Mu Xu flicked his sleeves and said with a light smile, "Mu Xu, the master of Liangshanpo, has been waiting for Dong Du's prison for a long time!"
