There was no cool breeze at noon, and the scorching sun was scorching the earth. At this time, there was no one among the traffic streets in Dongxi Village, except for a fast horse that stumbled into Chao Gaizhuang.

Now is the ripening season for grapes. At this time, Chao Gaizheng, Wu Yong, and Liu Tang were drinking wine under the grape trees in the back garden, chatting and chatting. Then they saw Song Jiang's anxious face as if his eyebrows were burning.

broke in.

Seeing that Chao Gai and the others were so leisurely, Song Jiang felt a little angry, but he didn't care. He looked around and said to Chao Gai anxiously: "Song Jiang risked his life to save him, but Baozheng and Xue Xueying still didn't care."

I wanted to have a drink here and enjoy the coolness. Now that the Huangnigang incident happened, your gang of idlers, Bai Sheng, were taken away by the Jeju Prefecture. You and other six people were confessed in the prison. The arrest envoy of the Jeju Prefecture led a number of officials and paid tribute to the emperor.

Jun of the Master's Office came to capture you and the other six people. Fortunately, I happened to be on duty at the county office today. I just said that the magistrate was asleep and asked Na He to observe and wait for me in the teahouse opposite the county, so that he could report on Pegasus.

You, brother, have thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy. You cannot carry the pavilion. If you make some mistakes, what can you do? Don't blame me for not coming to save you."

When Chao Gai and the other three heard these words, they were all shocked. What was supposed to come finally came, and they saw Chao Gai bowing deeply to Song Jiang and thanking him: "Brother Meng Xian sacrificed his life to rescue me today. It is a great kindness."

Keep it in mind, but one day, I will definitely repay you with my life."

When Wu Yong and Liu Tang saw this, they also bowed deeply and said: "Brother Gongming is so kind and kind that it is difficult to repay him except by death."

Song Jiang returned a salute to the three of them. Na He Kuan was still waiting for his reply at the tea house opposite the county government office. He did not dare to delay and let his flaw be seen. He only said: "Three brothers, please leave quickly and don't get in trouble."

, Song Jiang will leave now. In the future, the mountains will be high and the rivers will be long, so we will see each other again."

After Song Jiang finished speaking, he left, went out of the village gate, got on his horse, whipped his horse two or three times, and flew towards Yuncheng County.

Under the grape trellis in the backyard, Chao Gai sighed with a complex expression and said to Wu Yong: "Professor, the matter is critical now, how are we going to arrange it?"

Wu Yong did not hesitate when he heard the words, and responded: "Fortunately, we have been prepared. Now Baozheng has sold all the fertile land in the village into cash, and the gold and jewelry shells in the birthday card have also been hidden. Erlang, Wulang, and Qilang have also been there a few days ago.

When we get to Liangshan, please ask Baozheng to send a group of his friends to Liangshan to report the news to the Ruan brothers. We should pack our luggage quickly and burn the village before the soldiers arrive, and go up to Liangshan at starry night."

After hearing this, Chao Gai and Liu Tang both nodded. These were things that had been agreed upon long ago, but now they are just being carried out step by step as things come to an end.

About two or three hours later, the sky gradually darkened. When night fell, Chao Gai and Liu Tang carried simple knives. Wu Yong sleeved a copper chain and led more than a hundred villagers. They were about to leave the village under the cover of night.

There were torches on the path in front of the village. The three of them all said to themselves: "It's a disaster" and hurriedly went to the back door of the village.

Within a moment, a wisp of fire was seen in Chao Gai Manor, burning up from the central hall, sending black smoke everywhere. The wind helped the fire, and in a moment, red flames flew into the sky.

Half a mile away, hundreds of officers and soldiers from Yuncheng County, led by two horse and infantry commanders, rushed towards Chao Gaizhuang. At this time, they were more than seven feet tall, with a broad face and square mouth, thick eyebrows and red beard.

The big man, whose eyes were glowing green under the firelight, was sitting on the horse. When he saw the fire ahead, he wanted to ride away.

This person is the newly appointed Majun Dutou in Yuncheng County a few months ago. Because of his green eyes and outstanding skills, he is called the Blue-Eyed Tiger in the world - Li Yun. He has been in office for several months but has not made any significant achievements.

Li Yun was trying to capture Chao Gai tonight, and Wu used this group of thieves to perform meritorious deeds in exchange for the respect of the county magistrate.

The reins of the horse's head were pulled by a big hand, and Lei Heng said to Li Yun: "Li Dutou, there are two roads in front and back of Chaojiazhuang. If we attack his front door, he will look forward to it."

The back door was gone; we all coaxed him to beat him at the back door, but he ran to the front door and left. We had to make noises in the east and attack in the west, and wait for the guys to make a fuss, then we could start. How about I and Li Dutou split into two groups and blew the whistle as a signal? You wait.

Just push in through the front door, catch one if you see one, catch a pair if you see two, and I will block the way back with you."

Li Yunjian said and nodded. He was not familiar with the terrain of Dongxi Village. At this time, Lei Heng's words were not very wrong and said: "Lei Dutou is from this county and is familiar with everywhere, so he will follow Lei Heng's instructions."

Dutou said that a certain person led his troops in through the front door."

Li Yun carried his simple sword and led more than 200 sergeants, and quickly rushed from the front door of Chaojiazhuang. They opened the door of the village together, and when they all rushed in to look inside, the blazing fire illuminated the night sky like daylight, but not a single person was seen.

film.

At the back door of Chaojiazhuang, Chao Gai and others hurried out. Seeing that there were also officers and soldiers blocking the road, they suddenly became angry and shouted: "Those who stand in my way will die, and those who avoid me will live!"

In the shadow of the dense forest outside the back door, Lei Heng shouted to Chao Gai: "Bao Zheng, don't leave. Lei Heng has been waiting for you here for a long time."

Chao Gai had no intention of answering him, so Liu Tang and Wu Yong just risked their lives to fight out. Lei Heng feinted and opened a way out, allowing Chao Gai and others to escape from the encirclement.

Lei Heng left the soldiers behind and chased Chao Gai with a simple sword in his hand. He only pursued Chao Gai for several miles. Seeing this, Chao Gai only let Wu Yong and Liu Tang lead Zhuang Ke ahead, leaving behind.

Chao Gai turned around, holding the plain knife tightly in his hand, looking at Lei Heng with a wary expression, and said: "Lei Dutou, why are you just chasing Chao Gai? Now you are the only one, don't waste your wealth and life in vain."

Looking around and seeing no one around, Lei Heng said: "Baozheng doesn't know good people's hearts, but you think that only brother Gongming can save you and others. The newcomers are all very skilled, so I won them over."

He knocked on your front door, and I waited for you to come out and let you go. Could it be that Baozheng thought that you could escape so easily, but he didn't know that he was not chasing you but sending you away."

Chao Gai also came back to his senses at this time, with a look of shame on his face, but he almost mistakenly blamed the savior of his group. He only bowed and clasped his fists to thank him and said: "I deeply appreciate Lei Dutou's life-saving grace tonight. I will repay him in the future."

.”

"There's no need to say thank you. Lei Heng saved you just because he knew you were a good man. He didn't want you to lose your life. Please be safe and leave quickly. Don't let Li Yun catch up with you." Lei Heng waved his hand towards Chao Gai.

, urged.

Chao Gai didn't say anything, turned around and left. After Chao Gai's figure disappeared under the darkness, Lei Hengfang turned around and rushed back. After only taking a few steps, he ran into Li Yun who was chasing him.

After entering the front gate of Chaojiazhuang, he walked through the village, but there was no one there. The more Li Yun thought about it, the more something was wrong. When he arrived at the back door, he heard the sergeant reporting that Chao Gai and others had broken through the siege and escaped. Li Yun thought about everything.

I understand; that Lei Heng did not give up the main attack to himself, he was obviously familiar with the route of Chaojiazhuang and took the back door to release Chao Gai and other thieves privately.

"Lei Dutou, what a deep calculation. You let the thief go without permission, but you are not afraid of being accused by the state and county government and being punished?" Li Yun looked at Lei Heng meaningfully, with a tone of voice.

Said slightly mockingly.

Lei Heng smiled at Li Yun under the moonlight and said, "Lei doesn't know what Li Dutou meant by this. Chao Gai and other thieves were all very capable and broke through the encirclement. I don't want my soldiers to die in vain.

I was chasing him alone with a knife, but now my two fists were unable to fight against my four hands, so I was escaped by those guys. Although I had the disadvantage of being arrested, I selflessly let go of the evil thief."

When Li Yun heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "What is right and wrong depends on the people's hearts. Let Lei Dutou do it for himself."

Lei Heng looked at Li Yun's back as he walked away angrily, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he whispered to himself: "Follow your heart and don't ask about your future!"
