Chapter 109 I, Yang Zhi, swear to never become a bandit, it smells so good

As the saying goes: March rain destroys the fallen flowers, September frost destroys the willows.

There is also a saying: A hemp rope breaks at the thinnest part, bad luck visits the unfortunate, when it rains it pours, when it rains it breaks, when the boat is broken it encounters headwinds.

Yang Zhi has never had a smooth life.

The loss of the birthday gift this time was a fatal blow.

If Wu Yong hadn't captured him, he would have been lured up the mountain.

In the original book, he even had thoughts of committing suicide.

Of course, he has no such idea now, only endless rage.

Burning with rage and murderous intent.

"Bah!"

"Dog thief!"

"Let your grandfather down and fight me for three hundred rounds..."

"What kind of hero are you if you drug me?"

Nearing the Lijia Road Crossing, Yang Zhi finally woke up from his coma and started cursing.

He had the strength of a master of refining his essence, and his Qi cultivation was also innate. Even a rope woven from cooked beef tendons and steel wire could not trap him. Fortunately, Chao Gai and Liu Tang were with him, and with three punches and two kicks they broke up his condensed Qi. Now he could only lie on the car and shout.

"Brother Yang Zhi!"

The weather was hot and dry. Wu Yong fanned himself vigorously with his goose feather fan and sighed, "It's not that we want to embarrass you, but this birthday gift is the blood and sweat of the people. We can't let Liang Zhongshu transport it to Tokyo to celebrate the birthday of Master Cai. Now that we have robbed 100,000 strings of cash, we have done it. You see, why don't you follow us up the mountain!"

"Oh!"

Yang Zhi was furious and gritted his teeth, saying, "I am a man of eight feet tall, I am a man of integrity, how could I go up the mountain to be a bandit? Either kill me, or I will cut off your heads and report to the authorities sooner or later..."

"Ugh!"

Wu Yong reached out his hand to stop Liu Tang who was rubbing his hands in anticipation of a fight: "You have two golden seals branded on your face, a lifetime of shame, and you have lost the birthday gift. Now you have no other way to go. Whether you are willing or not, I don't allow you to say it, just follow us up the mountain!"

"It doesn't matter if you go up the mountain! It doesn't matter if you don't go up the mountain! You have to go today. Don't scold me anymore, otherwise grandpa will have to stuff your mouth with socks." Liu Tang glared at him fiercely.

When they arrived at Lijia Road Crossing, they rowed a small boat into the water and arrived at Liangshan.

"Dog thief!"

"Even if I, Yang Zhi, starve to death or drown in a lake, I will never go to the mountains and become a bandit and collude with you bastards!"

"..."

Yang Zhi was trapped in the mountain stronghold, surrounded by powerful men like Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Chao Gai, Liu Tang, and Ruan Xiaoer. There was also a government wanted notice in front of him, which made him feel completely hopeless.

Lin Chong forced him to drink a bowl of wine and consoled him, "I was the instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards in Tokyo, but Gao Qiu wanted to kill me because of Gao Yanei. Fortunately, Brother Cao saved me, so I was able to reunite with my wife.

In Liangshan, there are no corrupt officials, no need to curry favor with superiors, and the soldiers are trained every day, which is really a happy place. In my eyes, Liangshan is like the Peach Blossom Spring in Wuling. "

Yang Zhi picked up the wine bowl, sighed, and thought to himself: After all, this is a den of thieves! My ancestor died of hunger strike, how can I, Yang Zhi, live in shame?

Thinking of this, he put the wine bowl down again.

Lu Zhishen, who was repeatedly asked to stay by his brothers, slammed the table and said, "You are so unhappy. I was once an officer in the tent of Mr. Zhong Jinglie, the old minister of Yan'an Prefecture, and I also practiced in the Daxiangguo Temple. Now that I am in the mountains, do I bully men and women and cause trouble to the people?

On the contrary, I conquered Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou, and the people within a radius of dozens of miles all called me Vajra Master and worshipped me sincerely. "

Wu Yong stopped trying to persuade him and just said, "It won't be long before my brother comes over. Brother Yang Zhi should go and talk to my brother about whether to go or stay!"

"I...let me think about it..."

"Okay, brother Yang Zhi, please do as you please. Just don't leave the stronghold and make things difficult for me and other brothers."

"Alas!" Even though Yang Zhi's strength could be ranked seventeenth, he was nothing in the eyes of all the heroes today.

Those who were stronger than him in one-on-one combat included Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, and Chao Gai.

Those who could fight with him for dozens of rounds included Liu Tang, Ruan Xiaoer, and Ruan Xiaoqi.

I am not afraid that he will force his way down the mountain.

Having robbed the birthday gift and earned 100,000 strings of cash for the stronghold, Liu Tang was in high spirits. He stood up, raised his wine bowl, and said loudly: "Well, today Brother Chao Gai and Mr. Gongsun have come to the mountain. Don't let Yang Zhi disturb our mood. Let's drink..."

"Cheers to Brother Chao Gai and Mr. Gongsun!"

In Liangshan, the night wind stirs up the night sky, and the tides rise and fall on the water.

"Now I have no home to return to, no country to surrender to. Do I really want to be a bandit and disgrace my ancestors? It would be better to find a place to die on Liangshan Mountain!"

Yang Zhi lifted his clothes and took a step forward, looking towards the cliff and was about to jump off.

But when he was about to jump, he suddenly came to his senses, grabbed his feet, and thought: "My parents gave birth to me, I am handsome and strong, I learned all kinds of martial arts since I was a child, I can't just die quietly like this!"

"I want to live..."

"Only by living can we fight for our ancestors!"

"Killing people and setting fires to others will lead to amnesty. Liangshan will be amnesty sooner or later. By then, I may be able to fight on the frontier and win a title for my wife and children..."

As soon as the thought of Zhao'an arises, the world becomes wider in an instant.

"but……"

Yang Zhi is also a man, he also needs a way out!
At noon the next day, Cao Jie rode at full speed to the mountain.

'It's really him!'

Gongsun Sheng went forward with a group of heroes. When he saw Cao Jie, his heart skipped a beat.

"Brother Chao Gai." Cao Jie clasped his fists.

Chao Gai bowed and said, "Brother Cao, I have been thinking that if I want to go up the mountain, I need a token of surrender. I wonder if you can let me stay in the mountain and live happily with the birthday gift?"

"Brother Chao Gai, what are you talking about? If you come up the mountain, I will beat the gongs and drums to welcome you up the mountain."

"The rules cannot be broken. From now on, if you order me around, I will do it even if I die."

"There's one more hero on the mountain, congratulations! Mr. Gongsun, we finally meet."

"Brother Cao's name is well-known. I, Gongsun Sheng, have met you..."

After some greetings, Cao Jie set his sights on Yang Zhi, who looked like a stray dog.

"Brother Yang Zhi, you've suffered so much." Then he took his hand and said, "Now that the government is looking for you, why don't you stay in the mountains? We are not robbers, but we are being persecuted and can't survive, so we come to the mountains."

"elder brother……"

"Once you are in the mountains, it's like going back home. My brothers are your brothers."

"My brother persuaded me, so I, Yang Zhi, will stay here! If my brother sends me there in the future, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I, Yang Zhi, will never frown."

"Good good!"

The mountain is occupied by elite soldiers and generals, with sufficient food and grass, and a favorable geographical location. It is indeed a good place for killing and arson.

Judging from Yang Zhi's military proficiency, it will be difficult for the local army to wipe out this place. In the next few years, Liangshan will be taken seriously by the imperial court.

By then, I will receive the imperial edict and follow my brother to the border court to seek a title and a son. Wouldn't that be great? !
Also, the food on Liangshan is so delicious!
