Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 32 Mr. Ximen?
The horse in front, carrying more than 300 kilograms, just kept running, while Su Wu behind just kept chasing.

While chasing, he shouted: "Where are you going, thief!"

Li Cheng was behind him, and he just asked, "Brother, do you want to shoot him with an arrow? I will definitely knock him off his horse."

Su Wu quickly said, "Don't shoot."

"Ah?" Li Cheng was still stunned.

"Just chase him, he must be kept alive!" Su Wu said.

"Oh." Li Cheng nodded.

Not long after they started chasing, the horse in front suddenly turned and took a small path.

Chasing further, there is a bend shaded by a small forest ahead, just around the corner.

The horse was no longer running and was tied to a tree on the side of the road. The huge man was also standing next to the tree.

Su Wu also stopped.

Then someone said, "Su Dutou, how are you?"

What kind of opening statement is this?

Then Ximen Qing appeared from behind a tree in front of him, with a smile on his face. He slowly walked to the middle of the road, opened his folding fan, lightly swept his chest a few times, and then looked at Su Wu.

Dong Jian reacted very quickly: "Oh no, hurry up, we might have fallen into a trap!"

Su Wu was not surprised, but just asked: "What kind of battle formation is this, Mr. Ximen?"

The senior official also had a knife on his waist. He took a few steps forward and said, "Aren't you a martial arts expert? Don't you want to make things difficult for me? This day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

All he saw was Dong Jian stepping in front of Su Wu to block him, then he drew his sword and said, "Leader, go first!"

I saw six or seven people blocking the way ahead, and a voice came from behind: "No one can leave today!"

Li Cheng, who was standing by, looked around and saw that they were already stepping on the crossbow, pulling the bow, stringing the bow, and drawing the arrow. He said fiercely: "I will fight you dogs!"

Su Wu also turned his head and took a look... He didn't recognize him and had never seen him before, but he looked familiar.

The leader behind him was a big and strong man with red hair and a huge red birthmark on his cheek. A large machete stood at his side, looking extremely ferocious.

It was just surprising. What kind of thieves were Liangshan? They were the big thieves named by the imperial court. In Shandong and Hebei, which county didn't have arrest warrants posted all over the streets?

Song Jiang, the bailiff of Yuncheng, wanted to kill people and flee far away just because a letter he had with Liangshan was exposed.

Ximen Qing and Yun Liwan, dare you do such a thing?

He actually invited people!

Then Ximen Qing said, "Su Wu, I'm not afraid to tell you that the person in front of you is the Red-haired Ghost of Liangshan Marsh. You are a county official, so you must have heard of him, right?"

"It is indeed well-known!" Su Wu replied with a smile.

Seeing that Su Wu was still smiling, Liu Tang said, "Su Wu, right? You have become quite famous recently. It's all because your parents didn't give birth to you with good fortune. I am going to use your head to establish the reputation of Liangshan. Don't be offended!"

Su Wu turned to look at Liu Tang and asked Dong Jian: "How much is this fellow worth? Can he be promoted?"

Dong Jian licked his lips and said, "The leader Chao Gai got 3,000 strings of cash, and this fellow got 1,800 strings of cash. He must have made a great contribution."

"Valuable!" Su Wu nodded. It was really valuable. The imperial court was the imperial court, not like a provincial government.

Ximen Qing was anxious: "Brother Liu, this guy actually dares to underestimate you."

Liu Tang was indeed angry. He stopped talking nonsense, held his broadsword across his chest, and took a step forward: "You don't even know you're about to die! Grandpa will teach you how to separate your head from your body today!"

Su Wu was also drawing his sword, and Li Cheng beside him raised his hand and shot.

As soon as he heard the bowstring sound, Liu Tang was shocked. The arrow came so accurately and quickly that he had no time to roll and swing his machete...

Even though he lost all his dignity, he still managed to escape.

Li Cheng hurriedly stepped on the crossbow and pulled the string. Liu Tang had already stood up: "How dare you shoot an arrow in the back? Grandpa will kill your whole family!"

The crossbow was loading too slowly, and Liu Tang moved very quickly. He arrived in a few steps and started to chop with his sword.

Dong Jian gritted his teeth and went forward to meet the attack. A knife came down on him, and Dong Jian just tried to block it, but the knife had already slipped away from his hand and his body was unstable.

At first glance, Liu Tang was indeed a skilled martial artist, and Ximen Qing applauded loudly: "Brother Liu, you are really good at martial arts."

Liu Tang raised his broadsword again and chopped Su Wu.

Su Wu raised his long sword, and with a clang, he caught it steadily without any hesitation. He didn't have any special moves, but just great strength, quick eyes and hands. Liu Tang was blocked by the sword, and his body also paused, but he knew that this tiger-killing guy was no ordinary one.

It seems that Li Cheng is about to draw his arrow again.

Ximen Qing got a little anxious and turned around to shout, "Yu Baosi, what are you waiting for? Come on!"

Ok?
Where is Yu Baosi?

Without caring about anything else, Ximen Qing quickly waved his hands left and right: "Everyone, come on, come on together!"

A dozen men surrounded him from the front and back.

Right now!

Suddenly, I heard a strange buzzing sound coming from all around me...

Ximen Qing was a little startled. He looked up and around. He really didn't know what the sound was for a moment.

Liu Tang had really seen the scene before, so he reacted very quickly, and stopped slashing with his knife. He just shouted, "Hide quickly, hide quickly."

Then I heard a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound in the air...

Ximen Qing finally saw clearly that it was actually arrows, densely packed together. If it was just the sound of a bowstring buzzing, he could tell it apart, but this...

How is this going?

Where do so many arrows come from?
Ximen Qing quickly covered his head and hid behind a tree.

There were screams amid the sparks of lightning. Several people were pierced through by arrows and rolled on the ground!
The situation changed suddenly and Ximen Qing still didn't understand what was going on.

Liu Tang had already started to curse: "Xi Men Qing, you bastard, I actually taught you to cheat, you can find soldiers to arrest me!"

Ximen Qing was stunned for a moment: "Brother Liu, what are you talking about?"

"Xi Men Qing, even if my grandfather is captured by the soldiers, my brother will definitely kill your whole family one day!" Liu Tang shouted again, but he hid behind the tree and only looked at the air.

Because the buzzing sound came again.

Liu Tang could only look left and right and hide around the tree trunk.

But Ximen Qing suddenly found that Su Wu was standing still, not moving...but the arrow was not going to the middle...

"Su Wu, it's you!" Ximen Qing came back to his senses.

Su Wu replied, "So what if it's me?"

Su Wu was a little disappointed. He thought it was a grand feast that he had prepared with great effort, but it turned out to be just a few small dishes. The scene was really small. After all, Ximen Qing was just a small fry and could not create any real big scene.

Which is a good thing.

I saw a few more people rolling on the ground and wailing, and someone else shouted, "Captain Liu, what should we do?"

Liu Tang was also panicked for a moment, and looked around, but he didn't know which way to break out because the arrows were coming from all directions.

Then someone in the woods called out, "Brother, are you late? Stay farther away, for fear of alerting the enemy."

"You've come just in time!" Su Wu answered loudly.

I looked in the woods, and saw people coming out from all directions. They all had bows and crossbows, and some had hatchets and the like on their waists. Some even carried steel forks...

Not an officer or soldier?

Liu Tang suddenly felt much happier. If he was an officer and soldier, there was nothing to say. If he was not an officer and soldier, he must be a hero, so there should be... something else to say.

Liu Tang, who was hiding behind a tree, had already spoken: "My fellow heroes, this is just a misunderstanding!"

But no one paid any attention. Wu Song had already appeared, walked up to Su Wu, looked around, and showed contempt: "Brother, you've been busy all the time, and now you only have these few people..."

There were only four or five people standing, and about ten people lying on the ground howling.

Su Wu turned around again and asked: "Master Ximen?"

"Ah?" Mr. Ximen is alive.

"Don't you want to come out and see me?" Su Wu asked again.

"This... just came out, the captain also knows it, it's all because of that military officer Yun Liwan..." Ximen Qing looked around and felt a chill in his heart.

"Come out and talk..." Su Wu raised his hand and beckoned, and saw a pair of frightened eyes behind the tree.

(Brothers, you are really awesome. Yesterday, it was ranked 51st on the new book list, and today it has reached 30th. I am so happy. Thank you all brothers! I don’t know how high this new book list will eventually climb…)
