Chapter 158 Accidental Gathering

  This little thief begged for mercy repeatedly, and the man fell into Zhou Jing's hands. How could he dare to use his head to pick up the fists of such fierce people.

   Zhou Jing saw that he was sensible, but he was not intimidating, so he put him back on the ground and lifted the man's face towel.

   Under the face towel is a sallow face, with an ordinary appearance, stiff and expressionless, but a pair of eyes are full of spirit.

   took a look, and Zhou Jing guessed that this person was wearing a human skin mask. He didn't reveal it at this time. He pressed the thief's shoulder to prevent him from running away.

   At this time, the middle-aged man next to him who was facing a great enemy realized that Zhou Jing and the little thief were not in the same group. He hesitated, stepped forward and said politely:

   "The two heroes are invited. I was in a hurry just now, but I misunderstood them. I'm really sorry."

   "Good to say."

   Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen naturally don't blame him.

The middle-aged man looked at the little thief, his tone sank, and said, "I want to teach you two to know that I was walking on the street, and this thief took advantage of me to buy and sell things in front of the stall and stole my bag, which contained me. With all my wealth, I only have enough to chase after me."

   "So it is." Fang Zhen nodded and shouted at the thief: "Would you like to take out the things soon?"

   This little thief just threw the baggage at Zhou Jing, naturally it was a trick, not the real thing.

  The little thief did not dare to disobey, so he had to take out what he had stolen, but it was a bulging purse, clattering, making a nice sound of a lot of silver rubbing against each other.

  The middle-aged man took the purse and weighed it a little. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He solemnly took it into his arms, glanced at the thief badly, then looked away, and solemnly saluted Zhou Jing with a fist:

   "Thank you for your help!"

   "It's just a matter of time for the meeting, you don't have to be polite."

   Zhou Jing waved his hand at will, and immediately said with interest:

   "The marksmanship you used just now is very domineering, and it is also a good method."

   Hearing the words, the middle-aged man looked ashamed and said with shame, "A little skill is nothing in front of Your Excellency."

   He used a stick as a spear just now, trying to pick Zhou Jing away. Although he didn't use a heavy hand, he only used six points of strength, but he was also broken by Zhou Jing with his bare hands.

  Since his marksmanship became successful, he had never met a fierce man who took a shot with his bare hands. He couldn't help being shocked and deeply impressed. He was shocked by Zhou Jing.

  Although he felt that he would not necessarily lose to Zhou Jing in a fight, but in terms of strength, he was convinced.

   At this time, the surrounding onlookers pointed and pointed, and the poppies in the river were also fluttering ashore, all watching a few people.

   Seeing this, Fang Zhen suggested: "There are many people here, how about we talk in another place?"

   The group all nodded in agreement.

  The middle-aged people both want to make friends with Zhou Jing, and also want to express their gratitude, so naturally they will not leave.

   Zhou Jing was curious about these two talented people. Since they met, it would be good to get to know them. Maybe they could become his help in the future.

   It's not easy to fight alone. It's best to have connections and helpers. After all, you have a talent like [Domineering Spirit]. If you don't use it, it will be wasted. Anyone who sees them wants to be shocked.

  …

   The group followed Fang Zhen to a restaurant, asked for a private room on the second floor, and ordered a table of good food and wine. The dishes were almost all fish.

   Under the guidance of Fang Zhen, they still came to eat fish ahead of time. Seeing Fang Zhen's happy face, Zhou Jing didn't know how much this person likes to eat fish.

   After drinking a bowl, the middle-aged man reported himself to his family and said:

"In Xia Gaoyun, people from Shanbei were originally the second **** of the Zhenwei Escort Bureau in Qingyang Prefecture. Later, they felt that their martial arts skills were insufficient, so they went home to practice the exercises behind closed doors. …”

   After listening to him, Zhou Jing and the two knew that this person was not from the green forest, but an innocent person who had never committed any crimes. Strictly speaking, he earned food and drink on the rivers and lakes.

   However, the other party used to be the head of the dart. He traveled south and north, and it was inevitable to deal with Lulin, and he was no stranger to Lulin Road, so he could be regarded as half of the "inner circle".

   Zhou Jing looked at the thief who was cautiously accompanying him, raised his chin, and said, "What about you? Did you take off the mask yourself, or did I come?"

   This little thief had no choice but to lift the human skin mask to reveal his true face, but he was a handsome half-year-old boy, and none of the three people in the room recognized him.

   The little thief gave a wry smile and said:

   "It's my fault that I had no eyes, I bumped into a hero, but I returned my things and apologized. I wonder if you can let me go?"

   "Why, are you busy? Don't have time to sit down and have a drink?" Zhou Jing joked.

   "Hero... Grandpa invited me, how dare I refuse."

   This little thief looked helpless.

  Zhou Jing touched his chin and asked, "You're not bad at Qinggong, but I didn't expect you to be so young. What's your name?"

   The little thief looked embarrassed and hurriedly cupped his hands:

"It's not that I don't want to report my family, but it has something else to do. If I say my name, people will recognize it, and I'm afraid of hurting other people's major affairs. Grandpa, I think you are a hero who stands up to the sky. , I definitely want to get acquainted, but it is different now, and I hope to understand a thing or two."

   Zhou Jing raised his brows: "So, you are very famous at such a young age?"

   'I dare not dare...' The thief smiled apologetically.

   Zhou Jing did not ask questions, but said meaningfully: "Well, I won't ask you now, I'll find out later."

   Hearing the words, the little thief's heart skipped a beat.

   On the way he was brought by Zhou Jing, because he was afraid of Zhou Jing's force, he didn't dare to run away, but he quietly spilled something from his sleeve and made a mark along the way, inviting his companions to rescue him.

   He consciously acted secretly, but at this time he was in shock, wondering if Zhou Jing had seen it through.

   Zhou Jing ignored the little thief, turned to talk to Gao Yun, introduced himself and Fang Zhen, but did not mention their respective green forest nicknames.

   Gao Yun was originally from the north. He used to walk darts in the north. He was familiar with the northern green forest, but he did not know the southern green forest very well, so he did not recognize Fang Zhen at this time, nor did he know Zhou Jing who was just "born".

   On the other hand, the little thief on the side changed his eyes and looked at the three of them quietly. He seemed to have heard their names, but he didn't mean to speak.

   Everyone is proficient in martial arts. After chatting a few words, the topic soon turned to martial arts.

   Gao Yun's tone of admiration:

   "Brother Chen Feng, Gao has been playing darts for many years. There are no one hundred or eighty masters he has encountered, but no one has the strength you have."

   "I used to live in the mountains and wilds, fighting with ligers and tigers with my bare hands all the year round. I only ate the meat of tigers and leopards. Over time, I developed a strong body."

   Zhou Jing laughed, and still using these words is really helpful.

   "So it is." Gao Yun was stunned, and then curiously said: "Brother Chen is very talented, which makes people envious. I don't know what weapons are good at?"

   Generally speaking, it is a taboo to rashly question the origins of martial arts of strangers on the Jianghu Road, but it is not rude to only ask what weapons the other party uses.

   Zhou Jing didn't hide it, and said, "I can use a knife, but I use it very little. The most commonly used is a stick, which is used as a spear."

   Hearing this, Gao Yun immediately became interested: "It turns out that Brother Chen is also good at using guns. Everyone is like-minded. If you don't dislike it, you and I can compare your marksmanship."

   Zhou Jing waved his hand and said with a straightforward smile:

   "I'm not afraid of my brother's jokes. I don't know any advanced spear skills, and I've never met a famous teacher. So far, I only have a set of popular mid-level spears. Just talking about the changes in marksmanship, I'm far from being a match for Brother Gao."

   Gao Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "With Brother Chen's divine power, it is a simple move that is straight and straight, and it can also be used to break tricks."

   "Hahaha, Brother Gao doesn't have to lift me up, my family knows my own affairs." Zhou Jing didn't care.

   At this time, Gao Yun pondered for a while, and suddenly said:

   "Brother Chen and I hit it off. I want to harass the brother for a few days and exchange some marksmanship. I wonder what the brother thinks?"

   Zhou Jing understood the subtext. This man seemed to want to pass on his marksmanship, so he couldn't help being a little surprised and asked, "Can you pass on your marksmanship casually?"

   He still remembers this man's domineering marksmanship, which is obviously quite good in this world.

   Gao Yun heard the words and immediately explained:

"Brother Haojiao knows that I have been practicing spear art from home since I was a child, and I have the foundation of my skills from this, so naturally I can't pass it on. But later I learned some spear art that is widely spread in the rivers and lakes, but there is no difference between the doors, so I can't pass it on. Even if you go to the martial arts hall, you can also learn it, so it’s not a problem to teach your brothers. Because they are all commoners, Brother Chen doesn’t have to treat me as a teacher. You and I are brothers and you just treat it as an exchange of spear skills.”

   Gao Yun suddenly had this idea. First, he planned to thank Zhou Jing for his help, and second, he wanted to get close to Zhou Jing and make friends with such people.

   Zhou Jing thought for a while, but did not refuse politely, and agreed straightforwardly.

  Learn a few more spear techniques in this world, you will be more knowledgeable when dealing with the enemy, and you can further experience the characteristics of martial arts in the current world.

  With this batch, the atmosphere in the banquet became more lively. Several people ate fish and drank and chatted non-stop.

   At this moment, Fang Zhen swallowed a piece of fish and suddenly asked, "I wonder what your plans are after Brother Gao's visit to your friends?"

   Gao Yun shook his head: "I don't have any plans, maybe take a look in the south and gain some knowledge."

  Fang Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up and smiled:

   "Haha, but this is fate. Brother Chen and I are also wandering people. Why don't you walk with me, drink and discuss martial arts along the way, how happy!"

"This……"

   Gao Yun was a little tempted.

   However, he thought about it, but did not immediately agree, saying:

"I want to think about it after visiting my friends. I don't hide it from the two of you. It is said that the friend I was visiting this time was in trouble, was taken by officials, and was held in this dungeon city camp. I heard the news and came all the way. In addition to talking to him, it is still to see if he needs help. If he wants to get out of trouble, I will give up my innocence, and I will rob him to save him, so I don't want to implicate the two brothers..."

   Hearing this, Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen's expressions suddenly became strange.

   hesitated for a while, then Fang Zhen asked in a low voice:

   "The friend you're looking for isn't Guo Haishen, right?"

   Gao Yun's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "Do you two brothers know?"

  Fang Zhen laughed immediately, patted the table and said:

   "Haha, the iron-armed Canglong Guo Haishen, the first-class hero of the Green Forest Road, and the famous master in the arena, I have always admired, how could I not recognize it?!"

   Zhou Jing is also not unfamiliar with this name. On the way, he has heard Li Chun and the three repeat it dozens of times.

   In addition to talking about life and accidents, Li Chun and the three also went to visit a hero in the prison camp of Anlin Mansion, and this was the person they wanted to see.

  If the "Shenzhen" Lu Yunzhao's reputation in Green Forest Road is one, then Guo Haishen's reputation is at least ten.

   This person is a top figure who is truly famous in the world of green forests. He is extremely skilled and has a wide range of contacts.

This person's reputation in the Green Forest Road is all based on fighting with people. From north to south, he has learned from various Green Forest figures and heroes in the rivers and lakes. He has also fought five or six against the "King of Heaven" who is known as the first master of Green Forest. Ten harmony, regardless of victory or defeat, cherish each other.

   To put it simply, if Guo Haishen went to Xiaozhai to join the team, it would be enough for the owner of the village to abdicate on the spot.

   If he goes to Dazhai, where there are tens of thousands of minions, and the owner of the village does not give the top five or even the top three positions, then he will be ridiculed by the world's tyrants.

   This is what makes the green forest famous.

  According to Zhou Jing's understanding, Green Forest Road recruiting people is like recruiting partners.

  Partners are either famous or talented, or have power, money or connections, and they have to get involved and fill the areas that the cottage lacks.

And Guo Haishen is a top partner with a high reputation. If this person joins the cottage, his reputation will increase greatly, and he will automatically obtain a series of gain effects such as "recruiting soldiers and horses", "heroes come to vote", just like a shot with a belt Banner with halo effect.

   Gao Yun was stunned when he heard Fang Zhen's words, and was suddenly overjoyed:

   "The two brothers also came to see him?"

   "It's a coincidence, I really plan to visit him on the way, it's a pity that such a hero is gone." Zhou Jing smiled.

   He didn't go to talk about business with Li Chun and the three of them, but it is possible to meet such a famous tyrant in the world.

   On the other side, the little thief who accompanied him has been burying his head in eating without speaking. Hearing this, his face changed slightly, showing a surprised expression, and seemed to hesitate.

   But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps downstairs, getting closer and closer.

boom!

   The next moment, the door of the private room was pushed open, and several big men broke in. Everyone was wearing a bucket hat, all with stiff faces, and they all wore human skin masks.

   "Who bothered me to wait for a drink?!"

  Fang Zhen was furious, he threw the wine bowl in his hand and smashed it at the group.

   The first person was a middle-aged and strong man with white temples, dressed in fancy clothes, dressed like a rich man, but with a dignified temperament, like giving orders all the year round.

   This man flicked his hand, his sleeve hit the wine bowl, and he smashed it with a snap, revealing his profound skills.

   "Hmph, it's a good skill!" Fang Zhen frowned suddenly, raised the iron-headed stick at hand, and was about to attack.

   But at this time, this middle-aged strong man dressed as a rich man did not do anything. He pointed to the little thief sitting on the seat, and then bowed his hands politely to everyone:

   "Several heroes were invited, but this little thief is my friend. He is still young and irritable. He bumped into the heroes. I apologize on his behalf."

   Seeing this, Fang Zhen didn't want to do it right away, so he turned to look at Zhou Jing.

   Zhou Jing guessed that this group of people were the partners attracted by the thief, got up and clasped his fists, humming:

"Your friend, who stole my brother's property and wanted to trap me when he ran away, I invited him to have a drink. Seeing that he was still young, I didn't plan to do anything. But I didn't think about it, he couldn't steal, I also found a group of helpers... If I don't let them go, what are you going to do?"

The voice of    fell, and someone in the group suddenly shouted: "Then see the real chapter under the hand! Let you see Lao Tzu's methods!"

   "Shut up! Don't be rude!"

   The leading middle-aged rich man gave a deep shout to stop the clamor of his partner.

   Then, he solemnly saluted Zhou Jing, took out a bulging purse, placed it on the table, and said with a low attitude:

   "This good man, please let my friend go. This time it's my fault to wait, which disturbs everyone's interest. I'm sorry, I've invited this meal."

   Fang Zhen was furious when he heard the words, he flipped the table abruptly, and the soup immediately spilled on the ground, shouting:

   "You group of birdmen who hide their heads and show their tails, just take out some money and don't even report their origins, so you want my brother to release them? What do you think we are, how dare you insult me ​​like this!"

   In this group of people, many big men were almost splashed with soup, and they were also angry. Some people shouted: "You must be aggressive, I am afraid that you will not succeed!"

   Just when the two sides were about to become one, the little thief quickly stopped in the middle of the two groups of people, and hurriedly spoke to the middle-aged rich man:

   "Brother, don't do it! These three heroes are not idle people, they are also here for Brother Guo Haishen! They are all their own people, don't let the water flood the Dragon King Temple!"

   After saying that, the thief quickly turned to Zhou Jing and the three of them, bowed and made a big salute to apologize, and said apologetically:

   "Don't be surprised by the three heroes. I didn't know what the three of them were doing in this city before, so I didn't dare to tell them... In Shiqing, the one who was called Qianmianyan was Xiaoke."

   When he was at the table, he actually recognized the names of the three people, and knew that they were all strong men in the green forest and people in the rivers and lakes. But he didn't dare to report his family just now. There were various reasons for calculating, mainly because he didn't know whether the three of Zhou Jing came for Guo Haishen, or just happened to pass by. After listening for a while, he confirmed that these three people had the same goal as them. Come down.

   He didn't expect the rescuers to arrive at this time, so he had to rush out to accuse and stop both parties.

   "Thousand-faced swallows?"

   Gao Yun originally mentioned a long stick and planned to help Zhou Jing, but when he heard the words, he was startled, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly clenched his fists at the middle-aged rich man, and asked in surprise:

   "Dare to ask, but the leaders of Tianwangzhai face to face?"

   Hearing this, these big men stopped shouting and looked at Gao Yun carefully.

   Suddenly, someone exclaimed, obviously they knew it.

   The middle-aged rich man looked at Gao Yun, identified it carefully for a while, and suddenly said in surprise:

   "Ah yo, isn't this Brother Gao Yun, the broken army gun? Why are you whiter than before? I almost didn't recognize it!"

   Gao Yun was really embarrassed when he heard this, but he said helplessly: "I haven't played darts in the past few years.

   "No wonder, I haven't seen you on the road in the past few years, the brothers thought you washed your hands with a golden pot."

   Seeing an acquaintance, the middle-aged rich man hesitated, took off the human-skin mask on his face, and revealed a masculine and determined face that was not angry and arrogant.

   revealed his true face, and then he solemnly clasped his fists and introduced himself:

   "Under Xiang Tianjie, the four chiefs of Tianwangzhai, nicknamed the Great Sage of the River, I have met all the heroes."

  Tianwang Village is a cottage built by the first master of the Green Forest, "Tian Wang". There are 70 to 80 leaders on the mountain, known as 200,000 minions, and they are the top Green Forest forces in the north.

   The four leaders of this top Dazhai are the real big men on the green forest road.

  Fang Zhen did not expect to encounter such a character here, which is quite unexpected.

  Since they were both from the Green Forest Road and knew each other on both sides, Fang Zhen temporarily held back his anger, said a long-awaited sentence, and then said his own name and nickname, which attracted everyone from Tianwangzhai to clasp their fists and return the salute.

   Zhou Jing has learned some green forest rules from Li Chun these days. When others report their calendars, they have to report their own family. So he followed the local customs and said:

   "I am Chen Feng."

   Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the group of leaders of Tianwangzhai all screamed in surprise.

   "What! You are the one who urges Yama to kill a hundred enemies?!"

   Zhou Jing: "..."

   Good guys, you can shout louder, and the officials will come to join in the fun.
