(Thanks to Black Willow Sword and Mysterious Man for their support, thank you!)

On the south road of Zhangnan City, the black and strong troupe king Damao trotted next to the horse of the county magistrate Wang Rong, and said flatteringly: "Then Dou Jiande is now staying at the Nine-tailed Fox Inn!"

"The broken-legged shop of Zhang Chengjin?" Wang Rong rode a white Hexi horse without a county magistrate's robe, but was wearing military uniforms. He is from Guanzhong and the people in Guanzhong are strong. Naturally, he has also been a martial artsman. His family is also a government army, and his father was also the governor of the government army. Otherwise, his sister would not have been able to marry into the Li family of the Dukes and Marquis of the current dynasty. Even if he had been a concubine, everyone would not be qualified. In fact, he wanted to serve in the army, but unfortunately he was wrong when he was born.

Now that all directions surrender, Haiqing and Heyan, he had no place to fight. Without war, it would be boring to go to the army. However, although he could not be a soldier, he bought a set of high-quality military uniforms, including good horses from Hexi, Mingguang armor, horizontal swords and horn bows made by the official military equipment workshop, and even a good horse spear that he had spent a lot of money to get with his brother-in-law. However, these equipments were not available at all. Today, Dou Jiande, who was not very eyed, came back just in time.

"It's Zhang Jincheng. I heard that Zhang Jincheng has some relationship with Zhang family in Wucheng. Do we need to notify Zhang family before we go over?" The black yamen runner reminded in a low voice. Zhang Jin said that this person was not from Zhangnan, he was from north and south of Zhang. He was from the county, and there were only orphans and widows in his family. A few years ago, Zhang Jincheng went to the edge of Gaojipo and opened a nine-tailed fox-foot shop. This person is easy to make friends and is full of chivalrous spirit. However, he dare not touch Zhang Jincheng easily. It is said that Zhang Jincheng has some relationship with the Zhang family in Wucheng. He originally didn't believe it, but Zhang Jincheng said that when he first came to Zhangnan to settle the foot shop, someone in the yamen went to collect money.

, but after that, Zhang Jinsheng was reluctant to give more. A few yamen runners wanted to teach him a lesson, but they started to take action, but several tolls were beaten up. Several people returned in a mess and reported him. He was about to order his brothers to arrest Zhang Jinsheng, but a manager from the Zhang family in Wucheng came over and gave him a gift. Zhang Mingla, the head of the Zhang family. In Beizhou, he didn't know that the Cui family and the Zhang family in Qinghe were both people that they could never be messed with. The matter was left alone. Since then, he has never asked Zhang Jinsheng for trouble, and he also warned his subordinates not to cause trouble for him again.

Last time Dou Jiande was offended by the county magistrate, and in the end, Zhang Jincheng found the manager of the Zhang family and said a few words. The county magistrate gave Dou Jiande a lot.

Wang Rong rode on the horse, pressing the horizontal knife with his hand, his face unhappy. Wang Damao didn't say that Zhang Jincheng was fine, but he felt angry as soon as he talked about it. He had already found out that Zhang Jincheng was indeed related to the Zhang family in Wucheng, but he was just an illegitimate son of the Zhang family. It is said that the head of the Zhang family had sex with a girl after drinking, and then the girl was pregnant. The head of the Zhang family was not aware of the pregnancy, but his wife knew about it. After learning about this, Zhang's wife directly drove the pregnant girl out.

He went to Zhang's family and gave some money to rush back to his parents' home, Dezhou, and asked her to abort the child. As a result, the girl did not abort the child, but gave birth to it. This child was Zhang Jincheng. It was not until Zhang Jincheng came to Zhang Nan a few years ago that the head of the Zhang family learned about the illegitimate child. However, although the Zhang family met Zhang Jincheng twice, Zhang Jincheng could not really become a member of the Zhang family. Wang Rong knew very well the status of these unnamed children in the family. They were nothing, and sometimes they were not as good as a servant.

He had already given the Zhang family face twice. This time, as long as he didn't attack Zhang Jincheng and only dealt with Dou Jiande's words, the Zhang family had nothing to say. They could not deliberately offend him and the Li family behind him for the sake of a humble maid.

"Don't worry about Zhang Jinsheng. After a while, he will surround the foot shop. Never run away from Dou Jiande. This time, this county wants him to come and go." Wang Rong sneered.

Putting aside the Zhang family, Dou Jiande is nothing. So what if he has some fame in the countryside? No matter how famous he is, he is just a landlord. The family is rich, but he is just a pig to be fattened and slaughtered. Well, after taking all the wealth of the Dou family, he went back to offer a heavy gift to his brother-in-law Li Hun, and maybe he could make a fatter shortage for himself. Although Zhangnan is good, there are shadows of Cui and Zhang everywhere. Sometimes it is too difficult to make some money and is restricted everywhere. It is better to change to a better place and an unrestrained place, so that it will be great.

Thinking of changing to a fatter person soon, Wang Rong couldn't help feeling proud of the horse's hooves. He added a few more horse whip in his hand to urge the horse to go quickly. The more than a hundred people following the horse were also very excited. These people only had a dozen yamen to dodge, and the rest were mostly rogue gangs. Wang Rong had already spoken and took Dou Jiande down, and everyone would be rewarded by then.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Inn is already looking at it, but Wang Rong's face is a little bad.

Things were a little beyond his expectations. At this moment, the shabby foot shop in his impression was a huge convoy. There were no less than two hundred tall horses tied under the row of locust trees outside, and there were no less than twenty carriages parked on the side, not ox carriages or mule carriages, but real carriages. In addition, hundreds of tents were set up outside the courtyard, and countless strong men came and went. At first glance, the team may not be less than a thousand people. What made him look even more ugly was that many people in this team were openly equipped with weapons such as horizontal swords and spears.

"You said Dou Jiande was in this store at this time?" Wang Rong called Wang Damao, his tone was a little unkind.

"Yes!" Wang Damao sweated on his head. When he received the news from his subordinates, he immediately reported to Wang Rong. He himself didn't know that there were so many people in the store. Looking at the team, the other party must be traveling with a wealthy and noble family. Maybe it was still the chief supervisor of the county prince. If it collided, it would be troublesome.

"Did Dou Jiande walk with these people?"

"This...small...is not clear!"

"Then why don't you go and ask for it." Wang Rong got angry. Wang Rong came from Beijing and was very knowledgeable, but the lineup of cars on the opposite side was not common even in Beijing. For a moment, he couldn't figure out the depth and did not dare to go up rashly.

"The little one will go right away." Wang Damao trotted all the way.

After a long time, just as Wang Rong was a little impatient, Wang Damao ran back. He wiped his sweat and said in panic: "Mingfu, things are a little troublesome. I just spent a lot of effort and found out some news. Dou Jiande was following this team."

Wang Rong pondered, "Do you know what the origin of this team is? Which noble family is it?"

Speaking of this, more sweat was flowing on Wang Damao's face, "Yes...yes..."

“What is it?”

"It seems that it is a member of the Yanshan Tiger League, and it seems that Yi Sanlang is the one who leads it."

"Yi Sanlang, the White Horse and Silver Spear, the Ninth Head of the Tiger Alliance?" Wang Rong exclaimed. He was still very familiar with the famous Green Forest Bandit Leader in Hebei.

Wang Damao swallowed, "It seems that Yi Sanlang has been promoted to the acting leader of the Tiger Alliance and is about to return to Yanshan. Dou Jiande is with him. I also saw several acquaintances, Hao Xiaode and Sun Anzu, and Su Yong and Mingfu from Jizhou, should we withdraw?"

The Tiger Alliance is so famous, and there are more than a thousand people on the other side, and there are only two hundred horses alone, while the group of them is only about a hundred.

Wang Rong's face was gloomy and he wanted to rush up to take down the thieves in one fell swoop, but he looked around and knew it. After thinking, "Well, let's retreat for the time being, you can take a few people here to stare at them. I will report to the governor of the state immediately and ask him to transfer the army of the cavalry to round up these thieves."

When Wang Damao heard that he wanted to keep surveillance, his legs trembled. These are thousands of strong men in the Green Forest. If he was accidentally discovered, how could he still have his life?

At this moment, the opposite side suddenly rode a few fast horses, which made Wang Rong and others want to pull out their horses and escape.

Unfortunately, the other party was so fast that before they could react, the other party had already arrived.

"Wang Ming Mansion, since he is here, why don't you say hello and leave? There is a distinguished guest in the inn who wants to see Ming Mansion, please come with me."

The leader of the several horses that Wang Rong recognized was Zhang Jincheng, the illegitimate son of the Zhang family. The two next to him were Hao Xiaode and Sun Anzu. Wang Rong wanted to turn around and left, but when he saw the strong men under the tree not far away, he knew that he could not escape from them. He was nervous, and in the end, Wang Rong had to strengthen himself a little courage and pretended to be calm and said, "Well, okay, lead the way."

Wang Rong brought several followers to Zhang Jincheng and others into the Nine-Tailed Fox Inn. Along the way, he looked at the groups of burly men holding swords and guns, and his legs were already trembling.

"Wang Ming Mansion, we meet again." Dou Jiande said with a laugh as soon as he entered the inn hall.

Wang Rong had to smile stiffly. His eyes flew over Dou Jiande and fell directly on the young man sitting next to Dou Jiande. He immediately confirmed that this was the white horse, silver spear, Yi Sanlang, a thief from Yanshan. He stared at Yi Feng and waited for him to speak.

Yi Feng raised his head and looked at Wang Rong a few times, then said calmly: "You are Li Piaoqi's brother-in-law?"

"I dare not, I dare not, my younger sister is just Li Piaoqi's concubine." Wang Rong quickly answered.

"So, we are actually our own people." Ling Yun's words made Wang Rong a little confused. How could he be his own people with this Green Forest thief?

At this time, a tall young man came forward, "In the confidant of the King of Jin in the Yangzhou General Administration, Sima Dekan, the Grand Governor of Makuzhen, these two are my colleagues, Yang Wei and Pei Li, the Grand Governor of the King of Jin's Mansion."

Wang Rong was even more confused now. Could it be that the governors of the King of Jin's mansion arrested Yi Sanlang? But it didn't look like it.

At this time, Ling Yun stood up, "Let me introduce myself too. I am in the lower Yifeng and the soldiers of the King of Jin's Mansion will join the army. General Li Hun and I parted in Yangzhou a few months ago. Before coming, he asked me to pass by Beizhou and come to you to sit here. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in Zhangnan, Wang Ming's Mansion came to meet him immediately. This is so polite."

"The soldiers and soldiers of the King of Jin's Mansion join the army? You are not..." Wang Rong was incomparable in surprise.

Ling Yun smiled, "Yes, I am Yi Sanlang, the white horse and silver spear in Yanshan, but I am also a soldier in the King of Jin's mansion." Speaking of this, Ling Yun turned to Zhang Jin, who was standing aside, and praised: "By the way, the Zhang family in Qinghe is Zhang Qianwei. He is now the king of Jin, and is my immediate superior. Before coming, he also told me that when I passed by Qinghe, I would meet Brother Zhang. Lingzun told you to go north with me."

"Of course, there is no limit to the empty words. I have two handwritten letters from Shangguan here, so you can take them." Ling Yun took out the two letters and handed them to Zhang Jincheng and Wang Rong.

Zhang Jin said that Wang Rong was still in shock, and it was difficult for them to accept that a thief in the green forest became an imperial official in a blink of an eye, and he was even associated with them. With trustworthy, they quickly confirmed that this was true.

"Wang Mingfu, I fell in love with Brother Dou not long ago and had already become sworn brothers. I heard that Mingfu and Brother Dou have some misunderstandings?" Ling Yun asked with a smile.

Wang Rong had already come to his senses. When he heard this, he shook his head and nodded desperately, "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, all misunderstandings. Please forgive me and give me a chance to remedy?" Although Ling Yun's official position is comparable to that of him, the county magistrate, Ling Yun is the military officer of the King of Jin's mansion, which is the position of the King of Jin. In fact, he is just a slave of the Li family. Even Li Hun is the position of King of Jin. How dare he neglect Ling Yun?

Ling Yun looked at Wang Rong's arrogant and respectful look, and he didn't care. He turned his head and looked at Dou Jiande and signaled him what to do. Although Dou Jiande gritted his teeth when he saw Wang Rong, he thought about it carefully and knew very clearly that he could not go into this matter too deeply. After all, Wang Rong's sister was a concubine of Li Hun of the Li family, and Li Hun was a close confidant private soldier general of King Yang Guang of Jin. Since he could force Wang Rong to surrender, it would be enough.

"It's really just a misunderstanding. Wang Mingfu, Dou was rude before, so I asked Mingfu to take care of him." Dou Jiande smiled and said the scene.

"Misunderstanding, since Brother Dou has already followed Brother Yi, he will do his business for King Jin. We will be a family in the future. In the future, if you have anything to do in Zhangnan, just look for Wang Rong." Wang Rong went down and said nice words.

It is naturally best if things can be solved like this. Wang Rong is just a little man. Ling Yun really wants to step on him, but he has to look at the owner of the dog. After all, he is the Li family's dog, and he is not easy to beat him. What's more, before he went north this time, Li Hun did mention Wang Rong to him, and let him go to Zhangnan to rest when he passed by Beizhou and let Wang Rong entertain him.

What he was really surprised was Zhang Jincheng. Zhang Qianwei, the Zhang family leader of the Qinghe family, was also in Yang Guang's mansion, and it was the king of Jin, who was the direct superior of the military commander. In the mansion, he and Zhang Heng were called the two Zhangs of Jin. Before coming, Zhang Qianwei said that he had an illegitimate son who opened an inn in Zhangnan and asked him to take the illegitimate son north when he went north, saying that he was giving him a chance to earn a background. He never thought that the illegitimate son of the Zhang family, who was the head of the Ten-Pillar Kingdom during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, would be Zhang Jincheng, a famous brutal bandit leader in Hebei during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
