Chapter 270 Murong Yanda: Send You to the Mountain
Hu Yanzhuo went eastward, not knowing what fate awaited him.

Although the Wuzhui horse was a thousand-mile horse with amazing endurance, it was now exhausted after having experienced a great battle and running for more than a hundred miles without stopping.

Hu Yanzhuo hid in a valley, fed his horse, and rested for several hours, thinking: I didn't expect that I would be stranded today and have no home to return to. Who should I go to?
He suddenly remembered: I once knew the governor of Qingzhou, Murong, so why not go there and seek refuge with him? If I could get in touch with Concubine Murong, it would not be too late to lead the army to take revenge.

So he went to Qingzhou.

They traveled for two days and were hungry and thirsty that night. Seeing that they had already reached Qingzhou, they relaxed their vigilance a little.

Seeing a thatched inn by the roadside, Hu Yanzhuo dismounted, tied the horse to a tree in front of the door, entered the inn, put the steel whip on the table, sat down, and asked the bartender to bring wine and meat.

The bartender smiled and said, "I only sell wine here. If you want meat, it just so happens that the village is slaughtering sheep today. If you want it, I'll go buy it."

Hu Yanzhuo put the silver coins on the table and said to the bartender, "Don't rush to buy mutton. Feed my horse with fine fodder first, and add five eggs to the fodder. I will stay here with you tonight, and I will go to Qingzhou Prefecture tomorrow."

The bartender said, "Sir, it's fine for you to stay at my place, but there are no bed curtains and there are a lot of mosquitoes in this summer."

Hu Yanzhuo was exhausted and said, "I am a soldier, but I just need a place to rest."

The bartender took the silver, fed the horses first, and then went to buy mutton, needless to say.

What Hu Yanzhuo didn't know was that ever since "Thunderfire" Qin Ming rebelled against the imperial court, Murong Yanda had been scared out of his wits.

When Liangshan was in Qingzhou, he became a local tyrant.

This thatched inn is the sentry post of Liangshan.

The bartender said he was going to buy mutton, but he was actually going to inform the police.

Hu Yanzhuo took off the armor from his horse, loosened his belt, and sat in front of the door. After waiting for a while, the waiter came back with a leg of mutton. Hu Yanzhuo ordered it to be cooked, and brought back three pounds of flour to make cakes and two glasses of wine.

Silent all night.

When he arrived at Qingzhou the next day, it was already late, so he did not dare to see the official and stayed in an inn for the night. At dawn the next day, he went straight to the steps of the government hall to pay his respects to the prefect Murong.

When Murong Yanda saw Hu Yanzhuo, he was shocked and asked, "I heard that the general was arresting the Liangshanpo bandits, so why did you come to me?"

Hu Yanzhuo had no choice but to recount his defeat.

After hearing this, Prefect Murong's expression became even more tangled, and he said, "Although the general lost many men, this is not the fault of slowness. He fell into the evil trap of the thieves, and there is nothing we can do."

"I came to Qingzhou to borrow some troops from the prefect so that I could take revenge."

Murong Yanda smiled bitterly, "The areas under my jurisdiction are mostly invaded by bandits. When you come here, you can first clear Taohua Mountain, then conquer Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain. If you destroy these mountains, I will do my best to protect you, and then ask you to lead the troops for revenge. How about that?"

Hu Yanzhuo bowed again and said, "Thank you very much, Lord Supervisor! If you can avenge me like this, I will repay you with my own death."

Governor Murong invited Hu Yanzhuo to rest in the guest room.

After staying there for three days, Governor Murong ordered the selection of 2,000 cavalry and infantry troops to be lent to Hu Yanzhuo, and also provided some food and fodder, and urgently sent him to suppress the bandits.

Hu Yanzhuo thanked him, put on his armor and mounted his horse, and led his troops straight to Taohua Mountain.

As soon as Hu Yanzhuo left, a man appeared behind Murong Yanda. At first glance, he looked like the former military commander Huang Xin.

"Thank you for your cooperation, sir!" Huang Xin served carefully as always, but his smile was fake.

Murong Yanda did not dare to accept such a great gift, and said with a wry smile: "My good man, the matter has been completed, what else do you want me to do?"

It's not that he is timid, but he was tamed by the last eagle training.

Who doesn’t fear death!
Powerful people are more afraid of death.

Huang Xin bowed and said, "My Lord Prefect! As long as we can get Hu Yanzhuo to go up the mountain, I will cooperate with you to get promoted and make a fortune."

"I don't need to get promoted or make money. I just want to finish this year's term in peace. Brother Huang Xin, we have known each other for many years. Please spare me!" As he said this, he was about to bow. Huang Xin helped Murong Yanda up and said with a fake smile, "Why do you have to do this, sir? We are cooperating with each other. How can I let you suffer a loss?"

Huang Xinxin felt so happy!

Before he went up the mountain, he was so humble and submissive, but now, even the governor of a state has to act according to his mood.

Murong Yanda laughed dryly a few times and nodded, "I will listen to the arrangements of the heroes. Not to mention Hu Yanzhuo, even if it is the Grand Commandant, if it can be sold! I will definitely sell it!"

"Then... Sir, please!"

On Taohua Mountain, the "tiger-fighting general" Li Zhong and the "little tyrant" Zhou Tong had already prepared a banquet.

On that day, a small entourage in ambush reported: "The Qingzhou army is coming!"

The little tyrant Zhou Tong stood up and said, "Brother, guard the camp, and I will go to welcome the government troops."

He then called up a hundred minions, grabbed their guns and mounted their horses, and went down the mountain to meet the government troops.

But Hu Yanzhuo led two thousand soldiers and horses to the front of the mountain and deployed their troops.

Hu Yanzhuo was the first to come forward, shouting loudly: "Bandits on the mountain, if you don't want to lose your lives, come and get tied up!"

"Little Overlord" Zhou Tong arranged his minions in a row, then he rode out with his spear in hand, clasped his fists and said, "I am Zhou Tong, the Jianghu people sent the Little Overlord away, and I have come to welcome General Huyan up the mountain."

"?" Hu Yanzhuo was full of question marks.

Without waiting for him to react, the two thousand soldiers pointed their weapons at Hu Yanzhuo.

"You guys..." Hu Yanzhuo was really shocked, even more shocked than the defeat at Dulonggang.

He pulled this person out from the Qingzhou camp!
Why are you in cahoots with bandits?
Could it be that Murong Yanda has rebelled?

"I know that the general is a skilled martial artist, and has mastered the art of cultivating his essence and qi. I wonder if he can escape from our numerous defenses?"

It happened in a flash. The Green-Faced Beast Yang Zhi led the soldiers of Erlong Mountain to block the retreat and shouted, "General, will you surrender?"

Then "Little Li Guang" Hua Rong shot an arrow in front of Hu Yanzhuo's horse and asked, "General, will you surrender?"

Qin Ming, the "Thunderbolt Fire" holding a mace, was ready to move, roaring, "General, will you surrender?"

After a few thunderous noises, the black horse under Hu Yanzhuo's buttocks suddenly let out a wail, its four hooves went limp, and it peed and farted. It was obvious that it had eaten something and had an upset stomach.

"How dare you bully me like this?"

Hu Yanzhuo stood on the ground with his hair standing on end, blood boiling, and the two whips in his hands trembling.

"Don't be angry, General!"

Murong Yanda rode up on horseback, came to Hu Yanzhuo with a wry smile and said: "General, corrupt officials are rampant in the Song Dynasty, and the court is occupied by six thieves. We are not going to rebel, but we have no way to serve our country..."

Hu Yanzhuo's mouth twitched. Your own sister is the imperial concubine!
You actually teamed up with bandits to cheat me?

No matter who Hu Yanzhuo suspected, he would never suspect Murong Yanda.

But the truth is that the prefect of this state sent him here personally, trying to make him become a bandit.

"what!"

Hu Yanzhuo wanted to smash the man's dog head with a whip, but after a roar of anger, he threw the whips to the ground. All his energy and spirit were drained out of his body, and he felt hopeless!
