Chapter 84: The Iron King is Drunk and Pagoda

It is said that Zhao Zhen settled the people in Dongxi Village and the soldiers returned to their respective places. On that day, he could not hold a banquet in honor of Chao Gai and Wu Yong. When he arrived at the village, Zhao Zhen first served Jiefeng wine, and all the heroes went to sit down in the east cross courtyard. At the banquet, as usual, two four-tailed carp were served first and presented to Chao Gai and Wu Yong.

At night, Chao Gai packed his bags and moved into the Pagoda Temple, where he was entertained by Guanghui. Wu Yong moved into Zhao Zhenzhuang, and the two held candlelight talks at night and made plans.

The next day, Zhao Zhen summoned all the heroes and villagers to gather under the vineyard. Zhao Zhen took the seat at the head, and the others sat down equally. On the left hand side, Zhao Yuanli was at the head, followed by Zhengsun Zheng of Liangcunli and Zhengsun Zheng of Xixicunli. Zhengtang Tian, ​​Gushu Tunli Zhengdingchou, Tianzhuangli Zhengtangsen, Zhangzhuangli Zhengzhusha, and then Wang Lun, Li Liang, Tian Dasheng, Zhang Wang, Chao Cuo, Chao Ning, Zhu Yingchun (Chaojiazhuang) The two chief stewards took their seats one after another.

In the area on the right hand side, everyone gave way to each other. In order, there were eight heroes: Guang Hui, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Jiao Ting, Ruan Xiaowu, Bao Xu, Du Qian, and Tao Zongwang. Zhao Ji, Gao Lun, Cai Zhong, Li Xiaming, and Wang Benxing sat down. After that.

After introducing each other, Zhao Zhen first walked around for three times, and then said: "Brothers, let's get together. From a Xixi Village with more than a hundred households to a Liangshan Township with more than a thousand households, it has been a big scene. Now I As the head of Liangshan Township, and to plan our future, I made plans with Zhiduoxing Wu Xuexue last night to re-adjust your duties. You and all of you should follow your duties, manage the affairs of the township, and guard the villages. It would be a mistake to suspend teaching. Everyone must work together to participate in this grand event.

Let’s talk about the military affairs first. From today on, except for Zhuang Ding on my village, we will all be called Liangshan Army from now on. We are all heroes in the martial arts world, and we have learned all about martial arts tactics, but we are a little bit behind the formation of troops. Today, there is Mr. Jialiang, who has dabbled in military art, is extremely resourceful, and understands the methods of battle formations. Today I appoint Wu Xuexiu to be a military advisor, who will make plans in time of war, but will not take care of the army on weekdays. I will also appoint Wu Xuexiu to serve as a township official to assist me in managing the affairs of Liangshan Township.

The Liangshan Army usually conducts weapons drills, physical training and formation formations. Now I see that there are still people in the army who do not distinguish between left and right. Gao Lun and Cai Zhong are the leaders of the formation. These two people also served as escort officers. Now they are exempted from the duty of arresting the leader. For the next month, they will be responsible for training the formation. Then he transferred to Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi's navy to assist the two heroes in managing the army. Li Xiaming and Wang Benxing were also good at water warfare and transferred to Ruan Xiaoer's fleet to assist in managing the navy.

Liu Tang, Shi Qian, and Han Bolong were appointed as Youyou, each leading a team of troops to take charge of patrols and arrests. The rest of the people still carry out weapons and physical training for each department according to their old duties. They practice day and night without slacking off. Every ten days of exercises, all the troops come to Xixi Village to practice and gather together. Wu Xuexiu trains the formations, such as square formation, circular formation, number formation, wild goose formation and sparse formation, etc. All must be mastered.

Let's talk about the chief stewards of each village. In the farm, Tangsen was appointed as the mountain patroller, and was changed to the chief of Kushu Village. Chao Cuo was his deputy, and he also served as the ranch steward. As an assistant, Li Liang was appointed deputy; Tang Tian tidied things up and was appointed as the chief of Dongxi Village, Zhu Yingchun was appointed deputy, and Wu He was appointed as the manager of the goose farm. In Liangcun, Sun Zheng was appointed, and Tian Dasheng was his deputy. Liangshan Ranch was newly established, and Li You was appointed as the steward. In Zhangzhuang, Zhusha was appointed as the steward of the township fishing team and was in charge of the fishing affairs in the township. Chao Ning was appointed as the steward of Zhangzhuang and Zhang Wang. Vice-president: Tang Ding is appointed as the manager of the bee farm, and he can keep bees in both Dongxi Village and Liangshan Township. Zhang Wang was appointed as the township official, and Wang Lun was appointed as the head of the township school. They also managed the three village schools in Xixi Village, Dongxi Village and Liangzhuang.

King Tie Tian still temporarily resides in the Pagoda Temple. When the affairs in Dongxi Village are over, he will also become a general in charge of the army, competing with many heroes with guns and sticks, and competing in martial arts. "

Everyone was happy after hearing this. In the Baishi Valley, the order has been given, and under the grape trellis, everyone obeys it.

Everyone agreed, so Zhao Zhen called the banquet open. There was a village waiter in front of each person, and everyone ate and drank to their heart's content. The weather is hot, and in Baishi Valley, the wind from the lake is blowing up, accompanied by water vapor, which is quite comfortable.

Everyone got excited about drinking, and they couldn't help but talk about guns, sticks, and fists at the table. Everyone gained something, and Zhao Zhen also felt that he benefited a lot.

At the banquet, Wu Yong suggested that everyone have a fist fight, and Jiao Ting and Bao Xu also started making noises. At that moment, Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Yuanli to bring out a sapphire blue, dark purple pattern, cloud pattern, and eight crows from the village. Blue pigmented fine kudzu cloth.

At present, eight people, Guang Hui, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Jiao Ting, Ruan Xiaowu, Bao Xu, Du Qian and Tao Zongwang, were fighting each other in pairs. Wu Yong and Tao Zongwang were a pair, and they were the first to play. Tao Zongwang was very powerful, and he caught Wu Yong's weakness and pushed Wu Yong out of the circle.

The second pair, Ruan Xiaowu and Du Qian, were both strong men but neither good at boxing or kicking. They fought each other. Ruan Xiaowu relied on his flexible steps to get around Du Qian and used Du Qian to jump forward. With such force, he pushed Du Qian out of the circle with a strong push of both hands. Needless to say, the pair of Jiao Ting and Bao Xu knew each other well, and Bao Xu was not good at punching and kicking. Jiao Ting seized the opportunity and punched Bao Xu with one hand, knocking Bao Xu out of the circle. .

The last pair is Guang Hui and Chao Gai. Guang Hui is still in the third level now. His strength is much worse than Chao Gai's, but his fists and kicks are better than Chao Gai's. This fight is exciting:

But I saw one wielding the Luohan Fist, which moved like a stretched bow, and erupted like thunder. The momentum was as fast as lightning, and the other wielded the Taizu Changquan. His body was like a cat, his body shook like a tiger, and his movements were like a swimming dragon. The two fought for five times. Sixty rounds, no winner or loser.

Seeing that both of them were very hot, Zhao Zhen shouted loudly: "You two, stay here and rest for a while before competing again."

Guang Hui and Chao Gai each jumped back a step, looked at each other, laughed loudly, and everyone around them also laughed. It was really a good fight.

The two took a break, and Jiao Ting fought with Ruan Xiaowu and Tao Zongwang. With his sumo skills, he won two games in a row. Guang Hui and Chao Gai had rested and were about to play again. Guang Hui said: "If you want to compete in fist and kick, the Sa family is not as good as the Jiao Ting brothers. If Chao Tianwang can win against the Jiao Ting brothers, he will be the first in this fist fight." one."

Chao Gai heard this and said: "Brothers Jiao Ting competed three times in a row. Now we compete. If we win, I won't show off my skills. I will wait for brothers to rest for a while before competing again."

Now everyone sat down to have a drink again. After a moment's rest, the two stood in the circle again and started fighting again. The two were of equal strength. Jiao Tingshi used his skills and finally fell down with Xiaocheng's dragon-capturing hand. Chao Gai won this fist and kick competition.

I only got a piece of sapphire blue dark purple patterned moire pattern, a piece of fine kudzu cloth with crow blue pigment surface, and the other seven people each got a piece of fine kudzu cloth.

After drinking till night, everyone took advantage of the moonlight to climb up Baishi Gang and entered the Pagoda Temple. Guang Hui led everyone to the wing to rest, and passed by the Bluestone Pagoda without realizing it. Zhao Zhen led everyone to tell the story of the Bluestone Pagoda and the Pagoda Temple again.

Guang Hui said from the side: "This tower is in the second courtyard. Now the owner of the village has brought another stone camel. The layout is a bit off. Let's move it to the opposite side of the stone camel tomorrow."

After hearing this, Chao Gai said: "Why tomorrow? I'll give it a try." He took off his shirt, shirtless, squatted down, put his hands on the stone tower, picked up the bluestone tower with just one support, and walked a few steps , gently put the stone tower next to the stone camel."

Everyone saw it and cheered in unison. Zhao Zhen said: "It's so powerful. It's really like a heavenly king holding a tower."

From then on, people called Chao Gai the King of Pagoda.
