Seven days later, Zhang Zhengdao cremated Sun Yuan's body in the back mountain, put the ashes into an altar, and enshrined him in an empty room first, preparing to go to Mengzhou for burial when the weather warms.

Coinciding with the New Year, the end of the twelfth lunar month and the return of spring, in the village, there are hanging lanterns, bright candles, noisy people, and joy everywhere.

Zhang Zhengdao ordered people to kill sheep and pigs to reward the three armies. He toasted to celebrate with the leaders guarding the village in the Juyi Hall, and then returned to the back house to make dumplings with his wives and concubines to watch the New Year.

For several days, Zhang Zhengdao hid in the house, having fun with the girls and ignoring worldly affairs.

After the Lantern Festival, we beat drums and gathered the generals in the Juyi Hall to make arrangements for the village.

Hearing that the village leader wanted to go to Mengzhou, Fang Xuedu and others tried to persuade him one after another.

Zhang Zhengdao said: "Brothers, there is no need to say any more about the cottage matters. Mr. Fang is here, so I can rest assured. I have one more thing to do during this trip to Mengzhou. After it is done, I will naturally turn around."

Tang Bin, who had just joined the gang, stood up and clasped his fists and said: "After Tang went up the mountain, he was taken care of by the village leader. He has never made any achievements, so he would rather accompany his brother on this journey."

Teng Xin also stood up and said: "I would like to accompany my brother."

Zhang Zhengdao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It would be great if General Tang accompanied us on this trip."

"When Mr. Xiao leads the army back, you have to leave Jeju Island. Don't miss the important event of the village." After Zhang Zhengdao finished his instructions, he added: "No matter whether I come back in time or not, except for the 6,000 troops and horses left behind, the rest of the battalions will

All troops and horses will be transferred to Jeju Island for training."

"Master of the village, who is left to guard the village?" Fang Xuedu asked.

The leaders all have bright eyes.

In this expedition to Goryeo, everyone was eager to fight, but no one was willing to stay in Liangshan.

Zhang Zhengdao pondered for a moment and said: "The troops crossing the sea, the troops guarding the mountains, guard the stronghold, and the other battalions of troops and horses go out to fight!"

Jin Ding, Fu Xiang, Du Qian, and Zhang Shun had a look of disappointment in their eyes.

Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile: "Liangshan Dazhai is the foundation of our brothers. There is no room for loss. The burden on you is not light. Don't let others take the opportunity to break the stronghold and lose your place."

The four people stood up quickly, clasped their fists and said, "Don't worry, Master of the village."

After making arrangements for the village, he stayed in Liangshan for more than ten days. After the first lunar month, Zhang Zhengdao said goodbye to his wife, children, and children. Under the farewell of the leaders, he crossed the water and took the road to Mengzhou.

On this trip, in addition to Tang Bin for protection, Lu Xiaoyi also followed, serving in front of the saddle and behind the horse.

Three healthy horses ran out of the Xishan Hotel and headed straight for Mengzhou.

After traveling all the way across the state and the capital, we arrived at the border of Mengzhou at the end of February.

On this day, the weather was extremely hot, and the three of them arrived at Mengzhou Ridge.

After climbing over the mound, we came to the cross slope again.

Zhang Zhengdao was quite emotional when he revisited his old place. It was here that he was knocked over by Sun Yuanyi with his carrying pole, and then he was taken to Mengzhou City and forced to marry Sun Erniang.

"Master, the last time I came here was at a time like this." Lu Xiaoyi said with a smile: "I wonder if the thief who cut the path earlier is still here?"

Hearing Lu Xiaoyi mention "Caiyuanzi" Zhang Qing, Zhang Zhengdao laughed and said: "Now, with General Tang accompanying him, if that thief jumps out again, he will be killed."

Tang Bin asked: "What kind of thief is the village leader talking about?"

Lu Xiaoyi then told everything about what happened that year.

However, Tang Bin was filled with envy and sighed: "Sure enough, Mr. Sun has a keen eye. He can tell at a glance that the leader of the village is an extravagant person. Otherwise, how could he easily recruit a wife?"

Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile: "It's hard to look back on the past, and I almost died at the hands of my second mother."

The three of them drove their horses forward, chatting and laughing, and arrived at the big tree on the cross slope. The sound of gurgling water not far away reached their ears.

Just at this moment, there was a strange cry in the forest, and more than a dozen men carrying weapons rushed out and blocked the way.

"If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon." Zhang Zhengdao looked at the leader, and it turned out to be "Cai Yuanzi" Zhang Qing.

"I opened this road. If you want to go this way, leave money to buy the road!" A man shouted.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "What if I don't have the money to buy the road?"

Zhang Qing said impatiently: "Why bother with him? Brothers, kill him!"

The dozen or so men shouted, raised their swords and spears, and rushed over to kill them.

Tang Bin drew out his eight-foot-long snake spear, stepped forward on his horse, and fought with this group of thieves.

Lu Xiaoyi shouted: "Official, let's see what Xiaoyi is capable of."

This man, holding a gun knife, dismounted from his horse and went straight to Zhang Qing to kill him.

Tang Bin held a spear in his hand. How could these thieves blocking the road be their opponents? Two of them fell down in the blink of an eye. Seeing how ferocious this man was, the rest of them ripped off their legs and fled into the woods.

Tang Bin did not chase him, but only guarded Zhang Zhengdao.

But Lu Xiaoyi pestered Zhang Qing and beat her to the point of inextricability.

Zhang Zhengdao watched for a while and couldn't help but feel curious. After being away for a long time, Lu Xiaoyi's kung fu had improved greatly, and Zhang Qing was no longer his opponent.

After only a dozen rounds, Zhang Qing also recognized the person in front of him, sold out a flaw, turned around and ran away.

This time, Lu Xiaoyi had known that he would do this, so he did not chase him. He just looked in the right direction and threw the gun knife in his hand.

But after hearing a scream, Zhang Qing was unexpectedly penetrated by the gun knife in the back, and his body was broken out.

Lu Xiaoyi rushed forward, pulled out the gun knife, and laughed: "I didn't expect it. Grandpa has practiced this move thousands of times."

Zhang Qing was still alive at this moment. He fell to the ground and begged for mercy: "Heroes have mercy on their lives, heroes have mercy on their lives, villains have their own say!"

However, Lu Xiaoyi raised the knife and slashed it cleanly across Zhang Qing's neck. The "vegetable garden" that blocked the road on the cross slope returned to the underworld.

Tang Bin asked: "Zhai leader, what should we do with these corpses?"

Lu Xiaoyi said: "General Tang, someone will naturally come to collect the body later."

Zhang Zhengdao also said: "Brother Xiao Yi is right, those people who fled into the woods will definitely come out to collect the bodies."

"Let's go!" Zhang Zhengdao grabbed the horse's belly and rushed to Mengzhou City.

Lu Xiaoyi got on his horse, followed Tang Bin, and gave chase.

After the three people rode away, the few people who were watching in the forest ran over, looked at the three corpses on the ground, lifted them up skillfully, and returned to the forest to deal with them.

However, Zhang Qing, the leader of the "caiyuanzi", was dead, and the remaining few people fell down trees and dispersed. After dividing the gold and silver, they left the cross slope and disappeared.

However, Zhang Zhengdao and the other two men rode straight towards Happy Forest outside the east gate of Mengzhou City, passed through the town, and walked ten miles north before finding the cemetery Sun Erniang had mentioned.

I found five old trees, and sure enough I saw a grave with half of the stone tablet broken off.

"Master, this must be the cemetery of Mr. Sun's wife." Lu Xiaoyi looked around and found that there were only five old trees here.

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said, "This should be the place where my father-in-law was buried."

The three of them got off their horses, took the marching shovels they always carried, and started digging on the dirt bag.

After digging only two feet deep, the jar containing Sun Yuan's ashes was buried.

He also renovated the tomb, burned some money for death, poured out libations, and then left.
