Chapter 93: The Rough Man Wang Jinwu

The leading man came forward to meet Li Hu and warmly invited the brothers from Yangtou Mountain to enter the village.

Just like that, the group entered Zhaowu Village in such a swagger, and the journey was so smooth that it was unimaginable.

"Sixth brother, why didn't you take any precautions against this gust of wind that has taken over Zhaowu Village? Why don't you just wait until you get into the village and take action directly?" Walking towards the village, Wang Jinwu couldn't help but whisper a suggestion to Zhu Shenzhui.

In his opinion, the defense of Zhaowu Village was simply a joke. They had so many people come to Zhaowu Village, but no one discovered them until they reached the village entrance. Moreover, the few people they met at the village entrance were just ordinary men, and the weapons in their hands were just some tools such as javelins, hoes, and dung forks.

Wangjia Village was originally a military household. Because they had been smuggling salt with Zhu Shenzhu over the years, the villagers had long been accustomed to the rules set by Zhu Shenzhu. If it were Wangjia Village, outsiders would be discovered several miles away from Wangjia Village. How could they easily reach the entrance of the village?
Yifeng is now engaged in a business of rebellion with his head on the line, which is much riskier than their smuggling of salt. But even so, judging from the layout of Zhaowu Village, it is simply a child's play.

Zhu Shenzhui was also slightly surprised by the situation in Zhaowu Village. He originally thought that Yizhengfeng was a heroic figure, but who would have thought that he was like this. If Yizhengfeng's subordinates were all of this kind, then this matter would not be difficult to resolve. It would be more than enough for them to deal with this mob.

However, there has been no wind yet, and the situation in the village is unknown. To be on the safe side, Zhu Shenzhui plans to wait and see.

He told Wang Jinwu not to be anxious and to act accordingly after entering the village.

The crowd went straight into the village, where Yifeng and his men were.

After taking over Zhaowu Village, Yizhengfeng took control of this place. Zhaowu Village is located at the junction of Huguan and Lingchuan, and not far from Zhaowuling. It is very convenient to reach Lingchuan from here. This is also the main reason why Yizhengfeng wanted to attack Lingchuan and take over Zhaowu Village first.

"Where is your boss?" Li Hu walked in front and asked the person leading the way.

"The boss is just ahead. We'll be there soon." The man leading the way pointed at the big house in front and said, this big house was the residence of a wealthy family in Zhaowu Village. After taking over Zhaowu Village, this place became Yifeng's residence.

When they were still some distance away from the house, someone had heard the noise and went out. Seeing a group of people coming towards this side, he hurriedly stopped them and asked who they were.

The man who led the way pointed at Li Hu and said that this was Lord Tiger from Yangtou Mountain, who had come to join the group at the invitation of the headmaster. After hearing this, the other party was very happy and asked Li Hu and others to wait. He immediately went in to report. A few moments later, a dozen men came out with a short and fat guy.

"Master Tiger, this is our boss!" said the man who led the way.

"Hahaha, is it Lord Tiger from Sheep Head Mountain who is here? I didn't expect Lord Tiger to arrive so soon. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar!" Yifengfeng laughed loudly, "I'm just Yifengfeng. I've heard of Lord Tiger from Sheep Head Mountain for a long time and finally got to see him today. Hahaha! I'm so happy Lord Tiger can come this time. With Lord Tiger and all the brothers, great things can be accomplished and great undertakings can be expected!"

Yifeng laughed heartily, took a few steps forward and bowed in the direction of Li Hu.

Hiding in the crowd at the back, Zhu Shenzhui looked towards a gust of wind and frowned slightly.

When entering the village, Zhu Shenzhui was relieved by Zhaowu Village's lax defenses, thinking that it was just a gust of wind, and his previous concerns might have been a bit exaggerated. But now after seeing a gust of wind, Zhu Shenzhui became alert again. This gust of wind looked inconspicuous, but it was not an ordinary person.

Let's not talk about how Feng behaved after he left the house. Although he smiled and went forward to greet them, he stopped after a few steps and saluted Li Hu from a distance. It was obvious that he didn't want to get too close to them to avoid any accidents.

In addition, unlike the men he met at the entrance of the village, the dozen or so men around Yizhenfeng were all well-dressed and tough. Although they were dressed similarly, the difference between the two could be seen.

Moreover, these men are all armed, and these weapons are not ordinary tools, especially the goose-feather knife hanging on Yizhengfeng's waist. If my guess is correct, these dozen men are Yizhengfeng's real team. Although Zhu Shenzhui and his men have more people, it is not easy to defeat the opponent in a short time once they start fighting. Moreover, Zhaowu Village is already Yizhengfeng's territory, and the whole village is full of Yizhengfeng's people.

Seeing this, Li Hu also took a few steps forward, returned the greeting with a smile, and said some polite words. The two people who had never met before began to greet each other.

"Sixth Master, this person is Jiang Shuishan!" At this time, Zhang Xijun, who was hiding in the back, whispered to Zhu Shenzhui.

When Yifeng came out, Zhang Xijun recognized him at a glance. Who else could this Yifeng, who used the alias Liang Sanlang, be but Jiang Shuishan?
Zhu Shenzhui nodded slightly to show that he understood, and thought about what to do next.

At this time, Jiang Shuishan had already met Li Hu formally. The two exchanged pleasantries and seemed to be close to each other.

Then, Jiang Shuishan looked at the people brought by Li Hu, and said with a smile that Master Hu brought quite a few people, and this time the two families would be more confident in cooperating to do great things together. Since the brothers have arrived, they should rest first after a long journey. Jiang Shuishan winked at someone beside him, and the man stepped forward and said with a smile that he would arrange for the brothers of Yangtou Mountain to go down and rest. As for Li Hu, the head of Yangtou Mountain, Jiang Shuishan warmly invited him to the house for a gathering, saying that he had asked someone to prepare wine and food, and they should get close today.

After hearing what Jiang Shuishan said, Li Hu laughed and said that the boss's arrangement was very good, but he couldn't just drink alone and leave his brothers alone. Jiang Shuishan smiled and told him not to worry, the brothers of Yangtou Mountain would be entertained by others, and he was just entertaining Li Hu personally to show his sincerity.

Li Hu agreed very readily, but he also said that ordinary brothers from Yangtou Mountain were fine, but there were a few brothers on his side who were different and needed to follow him. Jiang Shuishan smiled and said that was natural, so if that was the case, they would be invited together, and he could rest assured about the arrangements for the other brothers.

Just like that, the two sides fought secretly. Li Hu apologized to Jiang Shuishan, turned around and said a few words, and asked everyone to follow Jiang Shuishan's men to rest. At the same time, he called a few people to go in and drink with him.

Zhu Shenzui had discussed these arrangements with Li Hu before coming, so not many people went in with Li Hu. In addition to Zhu Shenzui himself, there were Wang Jinwu, Lu Yishen, Wang Chuer, and Wang Gui. As for the others, they followed Jiang Shuishan's men to a place not far away to rest.

Before leaving, Zhu Shenzhui winked at Zhou Anmin, who nodded and told him not to worry. With Zhou Anmin, Hu Lin and Xia Dong there, there wouldn't be any problems on their side, and they would be able to react quickly if the situation changed.

The house where Jiang Shuishan lives is not small. It has three courtyards and is spacious enough for more than a dozen people to live in.

After entering the house, no one knew what to do with the original owner of the house. Whether he was imprisoned somewhere else or killed by Jiang Shuishan, it is unknown.

But when he entered the backyard, Zhu Shenzui, who had sharp ears and eyes, vaguely heard the faint sounds of several women crying from the closed doors of the rooms. He instantly understood what was going on, but did not take any action and continued walking forward as if he didn't know anything.

Along the way, Zhu Shenzui was secretly observing Jiang Shuishan and his group carefully. The confidants around Jiang Shuishan were not only strong men, but also had some skills in their walking and behavior. They were also extremely respectful to Jiang Shuishan. If his guess was correct, these people were probably the backbone of the Wenxiang Sect and the source of Jiang Shuishan's confidence.

Even Jiang Shuishan was not ordinary. Although he was not tall, he had a big frame. His arms exposed outside his sleeves showed obvious bulging muscles. Zhang Xijun had said before that Jiang Shuishan was originally a butcher. It was common for a butcher to bleed when using a knife. Judging from Jiang Shuishan's behavior, he also had martial arts skills.

After entering the main room, Jiang Shuishan smiled and asked Li Hu and others to sit down and talk.

Jiang Shuishan was very cordial to Li Hu and others. Soon, wine and food were served, and Jiang Shuishan raised his glass to invite Li Hu to drink with him.

Li Hu drank the glass of wine quickly, put it down, and then asked about the cooperation between the two families.

"No hurry, no hurry, let's drink first. I'm so happy that Master Hu can come here today. Today, we brothers won't go home until we are drunk. It won't be too late to talk about other things tomorrow." Jiang Shuishan smiled and filled Li Hu's glass with another cup.

Before Li Hu could speak, Wang Jinwu interrupted: "You can drink this wine anytime. Why do you have to drink it now? I can't drink it in Yangtou Mountain. Why do I have to come all the way here to drink?"

"I'm a straightforward person. We came here from Yangtou Mountain to follow our Tiger Master to do great things. I thought we were going to talk about business, but now you're trying to get our Tiger Master drunk. You won't leave until you're drunk? What's your intention, you bird man?"

"Who is this brother...?" Jiang Shuishan was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Jinwu to say this directly.

"My name is Wang Jinwu!" Wang Jinwu said carelessly, glaring at Jiang Shuishan: "Why? Haven't you heard of my name?"

"I've heard of it, haha, I've heard of it." Jiang Shuishan cursed in his heart, where did this brute come from? I'm talking to your boss Li Hu, who do you think you are to come out and talk? And you're not polite at all when you open your mouth, and you even call yourself a birdman?
"Have you really heard of it?" Wang Jinwu asked, staring at him blankly.

Jiang Shuishan didn't know how to answer for a moment. He avoided Wang Jinwu's gaze and looked at Li Hu: "Master Hu, your brother is quite... "

"Jin Wu is my sworn brother." Li Hu took a bite of food with chopsticks and answered indifferently.

"Do you understand?" Wang Jinwu grinned and patted his chest. "Master Tiger's business is my business! Let me ask you, didn't we agree to fight Lingchuan together? What's going on? We finally got here, what about the Lingchuan matter? When exactly do we start? Why should we drink this wine now instead of when? Does what we said before still count? If you're here just to drink, why am I still here? I might as well go back to Yangtou Mountain and have fun!"

"Brother Jinwu, it's getting late today, there's no need to rush this matter..." Jiang Shuishan explained while holding back his anger.

"You are not anxious, but I am!" Wang Jinwu said before he could finish, "We came here with our heads on the line to seek wealth and glory, but what good is that? Do we still have to drink your crappy wine? If you have something to say, then tell me. If you don't want me to tell you, how much will our Tiger Lord get from this expedition? Can we become the boss if we take over Lingchuan?"
