Astral Apostle

   Chapter 187 Proposed Expansion

   The three of them finished the meal, and then went to the leaders of Hongyun Mountain together to express their intentions.

  In the cottage hall, the six chiefs of Hongyun Mountain gathered and sat down in a row, while the three were in the guest seats.

  Guo Haishen said to Yu Feng:

"Yu Zhaizhu, my brothers and I have stayed here for many days, and I have been harassed. I feel very ashamed. The Zhaizhu let my brothers hide here to avoid disaster. down the mountain."

  Yu Feng let out a cry, got up quickly, and said loudly:

"Why did the three brothers say this? The heroes are in trouble. I will help myself, and don't say anything out of the ordinary. If you want me to say, the three heroes just stay here, everyone gathers together, why go down the mountain? Isn't it the three A brother doesn't look down on me, Hongyun Mountain Xiaomen Xiaozhai?"

   He was extremely envious of Chen Feng and Guo Haishen's martial arts skills. He had been invited to join the team several times in the past few months, but Zhou Jing had all rejected them. Now that he heard that several people were leaving, he was immediately anxious.

   Zhou Jing heard the words, clasped his fists and said:

"What did Village Master Yu say? I am naturally grateful for the protection of Hongyun Mountain. It's just that I want to see the world's masters, walk the north and south, and rule the roost by force. So I don't want to live in one place for a long time, and I hope the village master will forgive me. "

   After Yu Feng heard this, his expression was helpless:

   "Oh, everyone has their own aspirations. Brother Chen is so proud and respectable... It's just that my brother doesn't want to let me down on Hongyun Mountain. I really regret it."

   Several other leaders also spoke out to retain them, but Zhou Jing refused all politely. After repeating this several times, everyone knew that Zhou Jing had decided to leave, so they had to shut up.

   Li Chun on the side sighed secretly, quite regretful.

  If these two green forest experts join, Hongyun Mountain will definitely grow in the Luhe area.

  Although Zhou Jing and others took refuge in the mountains according to the general rules of the green forest, the cottage was willing to take them in and provide them with delicious food for a few months.

   But Chen Feng and Guo Haishen are not ordinary green forest characters, they are famous on the road.

  Especially Chen Feng, who is very brave and dazzling. In the past few months, his name has spread all over the country. Who does not know that such a fierce person has appeared in the Green Forest Road.

  If they don’t want to stay, Hongyun Mountain will not stop them, not only to form a good relationship, but also to leave a name of generosity and loyalty on the road.

   Zhou Jing saw the loss of several people expressing his expression, he blinked, suddenly had an idea, and said:

   "My three brothers are not ignorant of kindness and righteousness. I should reciprocate and repay me. Now there is a chance."

   Hearing what he said, Yu Feng, Li Chun and other leaders were slightly startled, and then pricked up their ears curiously, wondering what Chen Feng planned.

   Zhou Jing paused, then said in a deep voice:

"For several months on the mountain, Brother Li Chun talked about the situation around Hongyun Mountain. There are two famous Dazhai nearby, one is Hutou Mountain and the other is Huangdang Mountain... I heard the owner of Yuzhai talking about the growth more than once. Based on the plan of the foundation, then I will take the two cottages on behalf of Hongyun Mountain, and then leave."

  Although they could leave directly, Hongyunshan was willing to take in them at the risk of being targeted by the imperial court, so they just patted their butts and left, and it was not very pleasant to hear about it.

  Zhou Jing knew Yu Feng's core intention of repeatedly inviting them to join the team, so he simply offered to help Hongyun Mountain expand once as an outsider as a reward.

   The fourth apostle, Chen Feng, needs to be famous, so he just took the opportunity to act in the name of repayment, not only to improve his reputation, but also to make people in the green forest praise him for his loyalty and fame.

   Anyway, he intends to achieve the milestone achievement of [No. 1 in the world]. After going down the mountain, he has to look for experts everywhere. The strong green forest from other cottages is his goal.

   It happens that these two cottages are the closest to each other, so I simply took this opportunity to try the knife and kill two birds with one stone.

Because there is no plan to cause trouble in the short term, Zhou Jing didn't want to stay in Luhe all the time, so he didn't mind being a personal favor, and he worked hard to win two cottages and help Hongyun Mountain grow bigger... If it can be done, the expansion will be someone else's. Yes, but the reputation is his own.

   By the way, you can also fish for some information-state particles.

   Hearing these words, everyone was shocked, even Guo Haishen and Fang Zhen, two sworn brothers, were no exception.

   There are twenty-four provinces in the world, and Luhe is located in the south. At present, the banditry is not serious, and there are no famous green forests.

  There are two or three thousand people in Hongyun Mountain, and the scale is only medium, mainly because there are many masters on the mountain, so no one underestimates in the south.

   Hutou Mountain and Huangdang Mountain, with nearly 10,000 people on the mountain, and their troops several times that of Hongyun Mountain, are the dominant cottages in the Luhe area. Even in the north, where banditry is the worst, this size is not bad.

  Yu Feng has the wild vision of a tiger squatting on the Lu River. He has been envious of the people of these two Dazhai more than once, but he is self-aware and dare not take action.

   Hearing Zhou Jing boast about going to Haikou at this time, he thought it was a joke.

"Brother Chen, don't talk nonsense. Which of these two cottages is bigger than my Hongyun Mountain. My cottage can only have seven or eight hundred soldiers. Hutou Mountain and Huangdang Mountain can easily make up three or four thousand people. The difference is The disparity is so great, how can the enemy be defeated? Even with the help of three heroes, it is difficult to win... Brother Chen's love, I understand it, but I don't dare to take such a risk, and use the sword hastily."

  Yu Feng disagreed with what Zhou Jing said and shook his head.

   Although he valued the martial arts of the three, but the disparity in military strength is here, he does not think that with the help of three people, this gap can be smoothed out.

   Upon seeing this, Zhou Jing waved his hand, his tone indifferent:

   "The owner of Yuzhai has been thinking too much. Just tell me, do you want to take these two cottages? As long as you want, you don't have to do it, I will get it for the owner of the village!"

   Hearing the words, everyone was immediately surprised.

   "Could Brother Chen have a good plan?" Li Chun couldn't help asking.

   Zhou Jing snorted: "Why do you need any strategy? You don't need to send troops to attack the cottage, as long as I call the door, catch the leader of the other side's cottage, influence them, and persuade them to switch to Hongyun Mountain, then you're done!"

The voice of    fell, and everyone's expressions became subtle.

   They still think that Zhou Jing must have a high opinion, but they didn't expect it to be so rude and simple...

   This is too reckless, right? !

   One thing to say, there are advantages to being reckless. If the leader of Hutoushan or Huangdangshan is successfully subdued, and the other party is left without a leader, maybe Hongyunshan can really swallow the big with small.

   After all, most of the villains in the cottage are not loyal, and they don't mind changing to a king, as long as the treatment is not bad.

   Fighting generals don’t fight soldiers, they don’t attack cottages. The difference in strength really doesn’t matter, and they won’t tear their faces. With Chen Feng's shocking martial arts, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy leader.

   It's just that this approach has the biggest problem... What if people don't give you a chance to fight?

"This matter is not so simple. Brother Chen's bravery has already spread throughout the green forest. If you come to call for battle, if people avoid the war, then this strategy will not work. What's more, they can defend the pass, close the gate of the cottage, and it is difficult to attack by force. At that time, Brother Chen, no matter how high the martial arts are, it will be useless..."

   Li Chun's tone was helpless.

  Everyone nodded, all of them thought so, they didn't understand where Zhou Jing's self-confidence came from.

   Zhou Jing, however, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said boldly:

   "Haha, as long as Grandpa comes to the door, it's up to them to fight or not!"

   For normal people, the concerns of the people in Hongyun Mountain are fine... but he is an anomaly.

   With the current strength of the No. 4 Apostle, he can support the army for a long time, and it is even more easy to kill the general and capture the flag. Even if the opponent closes the gate, he can find a way to climb up and directly enter the opponent's hinterland.

   It is hard to say against the regular army, but to deal with a group of bandits with low morale and poor military equipment, even if the opponent has thousands of people, it is just a mess of sand, and Zhou Jing is not afraid at all.

   These words were so arrogant that everyone present was a little stunned.

   "Good manners!" Lu Xinniang was so excited, she stood up immediately, clasped her fists towards Yufeng and said, "Master, I would like to go out with brother Chen!"

   "Sister Hugh is going to make a fool of yourself!" Lu Yunzhao stopped him eagerly, and said solemnly, "Although I respect Brother Chen's martial arts, this matter is too risky. If the opponent is malicious, his life will be left there, so forget it."

   Everyone is chatting and discussing, and opinions are not unified.

   Soon, everyone looked at Yu Feng, waiting for the big boss to make up his mind.

  Yu Feng hesitated for a while, then suddenly his heart turned sideways, and he nodded heavily:

"Brother Chen has said so, as the owner of the cottage, how can I shrink back and live up to this kindness? I can't sit back and watch Brother Chen take risks alone, so I will order two hundred minions for you to go with you. Go to call the array, or have someone to take care of it."

  Since this matter was brought up by Zhou Jing on his own initiative, and he said that there was no need for Hongyunshan to intervene, then it would be a good idea to give it a try.

   It's not appropriate to just sit back and enjoy the success, so Yu Feng decided to send some minions to Zhou Jing's command, and the Shanzhai leader did not accompany him.

   There are only two hundred people, but he is still willing to take it out and give it a big fight.

   Having said this, Yu Feng quickly added another sentence: "If it is impossible to do something, Brother Chen will protect himself..."

   "The village owner can rest assured."

   Zhou Jing deliberately showed a look of disapproval.

   After discussing some details, Zhou Jing and the two brothers left the hall.

   Walking out of the room, Fang Zhen couldn't help but speak:

   "Brother, didn't you say goodbye? Why did you change your speech?"

   Zhou Jing shook his head: "If you don't repay, I'm afraid people in the world will think that our brothers are ungrateful, and it's not too late to leave after finishing this matter."

   "Second brother is right."

   Guo Haishen nodded.

   He paused, then pondered:

"It's just that this matter is quite risky. It's unbelievable how we can go to Ten Thousand Dazhai with 200 minions. Take a step back and say that even if we win the heads-up fight, people insist that they don't want to switch to Hongyun Mountain. I'll wait. How can it be?"

   Zhou Jing laughed: "Are the two brothers scared?"

  Fang Zhen was immediately anxious: "I was born with no fear of the sky and the earth, isn't it just calling the door, I'm afraid of a bird's egg!"

  Guo Haishen also said solemnly: "Our brothers live and die together, how can I back down? The second brother will not talk about such words in the future."

   Zhou Jing then restrained his smile, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said solemnly:

   "Okay, as long as you two brothers believe in me, I will make us famous all over the world!"

   The two of them heard the words, their hearts jumped, and their blood was faintly surging.

  …

   Soon, Yu Feng ordered the villains to gather at the school grounds, and Zhou Jing ordered them.

   Zhou Jing didn't choose too much, and randomly ordered two hundred elites as a team for this trip.

  Although he is an outsider, these minions have seen his skills in the past few months, and at this time they are quite calm and willing to listen to orders.

   In addition, Zhang San and other five followers were also called by Zhou Jing.

   These five people have been learning the simplified Zhongping gun for several months, and they are eating and drinking on the mountain, and they are already practicing with the cottage.

   Just as Zhou Jing ordered his troops, several minions came over with a dark iron spear.

Li Chun leaned forward and said with a smile: "I know Brother Chen's supernatural power, and the general weapon is not good enough, so I sent someone into the city a few days ago, and asked a blacksmith to shoot a titanic spear, but I didn't have time to take it out. , I just gave this thing to my brother today."

   Zhou Jing heard the words, turned his head to look over, and looked at it carefully.

  The whole body of this gun is made of iron. It is black like a black python. It is eight feet in length and nine and a half inches in the spear head. It is a long-blade spear.

   "This gun has a name, it's called the Iron Panlong Gun. It weighs seventy-six pounds. The middle of the barrel and the head are detachable, and it can be turned into several pieces..."

  Li Chun1510 introduction.

   Zhou Jing listened, lifted the gun with one hand, and waved it casually, and immediately a strong wind blew up.

  Although the warriors in this world are extraordinary, the gap between their physical fitness and ordinary people is not too exaggerated. There are few commonly used weapons that are particularly heavy, otherwise it will be very labor-intensive and inflexible.

  Whether a weapon is in hand has multiple factors, in addition to its own physical strength, its own weight should also be considered. For the warriors of this world, a weapon with a weight of 76 pounds is already a rare level, and not many people use it.

   It's still too light for the fourth apostle, Chen Feng... It can only be said that it is stronger than a wooden pole.

  This iron-coiled dragon spear is neither long nor short, which is convenient for foot combat, and because the whole body is made of iron, it can be used as a spear or a stick, and it is as easy to use as it is to swing people. It has been quite suitable.

"Thanks."

   Zhou Jing was not polite, and took down the weapon readily.

  The two hundred minions brought dry food and water bags and weapons, and soon they were ready to go.

  Although the formation is crooked, the spirit and energy are not bad, and the requirements for a group of bandits should not be too high.

   The group went out of the cottage, and the leaders of Hongyun Mountain sent them off.

   At the foot of the mountain, Zhou Jing looked back at Yu Feng, Li Chun and the others, and nodded:

   "You don't have to send it any more, everyone, take it easy, I'm going to take down Hutou Mountain and Huangdang Mountain, all the leaders just wait for the good news."

  The expressions of everyone are subtle.

   Two hundred people are going to annex a cottage with tens of thousands of people. Everyone thinks this is a sloppy mess, but when they think of Zhou Jing's bravery on weekdays, they feel that maybe they can do it, and they feel quite entangled.

  Thousands of words poured into Li Chun's mouth, and finally turned into a dry "Brother, be careful here".

   Zhou Jing nodded, and stopped talking to the crowd, striding forward with his iron panlong spear on his back.

  Guo Haishen and Fang Zhen walked side by side with their weapons, and two hundred minions followed behind.

   The group gradually disappeared into the forest.

  …

   On the other side, Hutou Mountain, a certain mountain road.

  A young man was walking in the shade of the trees, and from time to time he used his hands to block the hot sun shining through the treetops. Followed by two porters, together to carry a heavy burden.

   "It is said that there are tens of thousands of thieves entrenched on this Hutou Mountain, and what are the four heroes of Hutou Mountain? It is a sinister place, it is better to hurry up..."

   The young man whispered.

   He is handsome and looks like a handsome young man at first glance, but he is dressed in strong clothes, with a long sword hanging from his waist, dressed as a Jianghu guest, his feet are steady and powerful, and his palms are full of calluses.

   At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the mountains and forests.

   "Someone!" The young man's expression changed, he immediately grabbed the long sword and stopped.

   The next moment, there was a loud clatter, and dozens of bandits rushed out of the forest and surrounded them.

   "Mom, bandit!"

   The two porters were so frightened that they threw the burden and ran away.

   The burden fell to the ground, and a lot of property fell out, exposing it to the eyes of many bandits.

   "Damn!"

  The young man was in a hurry, hesitating a little while looking at the property all over the floor.

   After such a delay, the best chance to escape was lost.

   Dozens of bandits immediately surrounded them, blocking their way and staring at them.

   Seeing this, the young man had no choice but to draw out his long sword, protect it beside the load of property, and said sharply, "Where are you guys? You can speak up!"

   The voice fell, and a leader walked out of the bandits, with a pockmarked face, carrying a big axe, and snorted coldly:

   "I am the four kings of Hutoushan Mountain, Shi Dong, the 'flower face bear'! Look at the appearance of your doll, you are also a Jianghu person, sign up!"

   The young man took a deep breath and said loudly, "In Xia Lin Song, a disciple of Wu Shan School."

   "Wu Shan School?"

  Shi Dong frowned, but he knew that this sect was a big sect in the Jianghu area of ​​the neighboring province.

   But he didn't care too much, and said casually:

   "In that case, I will not embarrass you, leave that burden behind, and I will let you go."

Lin Song hesitated for two seconds, then gritted his teeth and shook his head: "My master ordered me to bring back this batch of property, if I lose it, I can't explain it, everyone is a fellow in the rivers and lakes, I would like to spend some money to invite all the heroes to have a drink, can you accommodate one or two? "

  Stone angrily shouted:

"Hey, it turns out that you are a rude person. I kindly let you go, but you are too big! Who cares about your three melons and dates, the brothers have been feeding mosquitoes in the mountains for a long time, and you want me to let you go in a few words, and feed you for nothing? You? Who are you!"

   Lin Song gritted his teeth: "I'm a disciple of Wu Shan School, you dare to rob me?!"

  Shi Dong scoffed and snorted coldly:

   "Bah, if you are robbed, you will be robbed. I'm afraid of a bird! If the head of the family has the courage to find his way back, he can go up to my Hutou Mountain and see if he can match the tens of thousands of horses in my cottage!"

   Hearing this, Lin Song immediately became discouraged.

   Although the Wushan faction has many masters, the sect's route is different from that of the Green Forest cottage, and it is far from being able to gather so many people. It is not so easy to find such a bad luck of the green forest.

  Lin Song's mind was racing, and he wanted to continue to talk about the background, suddenly thought of something, and shouted:

"Okay, you are not afraid of my Wushan faction, but are you afraid of the real master Yufeng Ningjing? No matter how many thousands of you, the old man will call the gods, and he can directly raise your entire cottage! I am the Wushan faction and the real master Yufeng. If you are old, if you mess with me, you will be beautiful!"

The    voice fell, and Shi Dong's face stiffened.

  Luhe River and Jiangchun are next to each other, and business exchanges are frequent. The deeds of Lingfengzi of Ningtianfu have long been passed down.

  The thieves of Hutou Mountain will also walk down the mountain. I have heard these stories, and I don’t know if they are true or not. It's just that many passers-by say it with certainty, and people on the Luhe side believe it a little bit.

  If this Wushan faction can really call the "Leibu Shenxiao Protector Tianjun" Yufeng Zhenren, it would be bad...

   Shi Dong hurriedly shook his head, threw this fear out of his mind, and shouted angrily:

   "You don't have to scare me, I'm not afraid! Today's burden of property, whatever you say, keep it. If you don't know your taste, I can kill it or bury it!"

   Seeing this, Lin Song knew it was difficult to be kind.

   The best choice is naturally to keep the property, go back to the teacher's door to report, and at most be punished, so that the green hills are not afraid of running out of firewood.

   It was just that Lin Song was young and vigorous and did not want to be soft on it. Suddenly, his eyes rolled and he stepped forward. The long sword in his hand suddenly stabbed out and attacked Shi Dong directly.

   He was quite confident in his own skills, and planned to capture the thief first to capture the king, and seize the leader to force the thief to retreat.

   Shi Dong did not expect that this person would dare to attack suddenly, so he was caught off guard and quickly parried.

   However, he lost the first move, and he was clumsy with an axe and a sword. Shi Dong was restrained everywhere, and he could not exert 70% of his skills.

   And Lin Song's martial arts are already stronger than him, the inner breath is long and the strength is penetrated, and the offensive is even more aggressive.

  The surrounding bandits wanted to step forward to help, but the few people who approached were quickly cut down by the flashing sword light, and the rest stopped in fear and hesitated.

  The axe, shadow and sword light intertwined, and the weapons slammed into each other, and the two fought each other in an instant.

  Lin Song's movement was brisk, his swordsmanship agile, and he brushed a dozen or so swords in a row, forcing Shi Dong to stand on the left and right, leaving a few bloodstains on his body.

   Just when the situation in Shidong was bad,

   A large golden-backed ring knife suddenly burst out from the oblique stab, intercepting Lin Song's long sword.

  Dang bang!

  Lin Song's face changed, only to feel a huge force attacking, the whole person involuntarily retreated, his palms trembled slightly, and he felt a little numb.

   He was startled and stared.

   I saw a strong bald man appear in the field, who was the one who just shot.

  The bald-headed and strong man wears tiger skins on his shoulders, exposing his huge chest muscles, showing his tyrannical spirit.

   This man held Shi Dong in one hand and the golden-backed ring saber in the other. His face was stern, and he said in a deep voice:

   "You hurt my Shanzhai brother, so today I have to invite you up the mountain as a guest and ask Wu Shan to send him to redeem people!"

  Lin Song couldn't help but sank in his heart.

   The martial arts of the person here are far better than that of Shi Dong. Even if he fights normally, he may not be able to win it. I am afraid that this person is a well-known expert on the Green Forest Road.

   Lin Song clenched his long sword and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

  The bald-headed strong man shook his knife, and the iron ring above made a clattering sound.

   "The second head of Hutoushan Mountain, 'Golden Sword' Hong Dingxian!"
