Di Baozi Breaks Through the Barrier 1: Young Zhang Lang Seduces a Good Woman

Chapter 95 Di Baozi's Angry Charge at the Pass and Young Zhang Lang's Seduction of a Good Woman

Song Jiang couldn't think of anything for the moment. Since he couldn't figure it out himself, he might as well ask someone directly. He didn't like to procrastinate, so he quickly arrived at the prison and said directly to the henchmen, "Who is the one who has been getting close to your leader Di Lei recently? If he's not from Qingyun Mountain, whoever tells me will be released immediately."

The once chaotic prison fell silent upon hearing Song Jiang's words.

Song Jiang smiled and said, "My name is Song Jiang. Some of you should have heard of me. I always keep my word. I'll say it again: whoever tells me, I will release them immediately."

As soon as Song Jiang finished speaking, some of his underlings shouted eagerly, "I'll talk! I'll talk!" After all, saying a name wouldn't be considered betrayal!

Some of the underlings couldn't be persuaded and could only glare at them angrily.

Song Jiang casually pointed to the three most eager henchmen and said, "Let them out."

Some people regretted not saying it sooner, while others were furious and kept cursing.

The three men came out, and Song Jiang pointed to one of them, then told the other two to stand far away so they couldn't hear him, and told that man to whisper the answer in front of him.

The three men gave the same answer, and Song Jiang nodded in satisfaction. It turned out that a man known as Master Ximen had recently sent a lot of gold, silver and grain to Qingyun Mountain, asking Di Lei to deal with Master Chen!

It turns out that Ximen Qing was the one causing trouble. This guy seems to be tired of living. Dealing with Chen the landlord was just a pretext; he was really just after himself.

Previously, Song Jiang had ordered Wu Song to kill Wu Qianhu to silence him for stealing the imperial treasure, so that Jiuwan's family could be saved.

Unexpectedly, Yun Lishou killed Wu Qianhu first, then Wu Song killed Yun Lishou, and then Song Jiang saved all the servants of Wu's mansion and used a trick to make Wu Qianhu's men in black take the fall.

Previously, Song Jiang had asked the magistrate of Qinghe County how to deal with Ximen Qing, and the magistrate's reply was to report it to the imperial court.

However, when Song Jiang returned to Yuncheng, the incident didn't seem to cause much of a stir. Everything faded away with Wu Qianhu's death, and Ximen Qing didn't seem to be punished.

After that, Song Jiang didn't pay much attention to Ximen Qing's life or death. After all, the matter of the imperial seal had little to do with him. However, he later seemed to have unintentionally heard that Ximen Qing had spent a lot of money to bribe a high-ranking official in the court to avoid being implicated in the crime. He just didn't know who this high-ranking official was.

Although Wu Qianhu's death and the decline of the Wu family were not directly related to Song Jiang, they were indeed caused by Song Jiang's intervention. Therefore, it is not surprising that Ximen Qing hated him. Moreover, Ximen Qing himself was a petty, greedy, and treacherous person. Otherwise, he would not have killed his brother Hua Zixu for Li Ping'er.

Thinking of this, Song Jiang shook his head and said, "Ximen Qing, is it really you? I didn't come looking for you, but you dare to come looking for me instead. Since that's the case, then blame me for being impolite." Ximen Qing was secretly tripping him up. Although he wasn't afraid, it was still annoying to see Ximen Qing buzzing around like a fly behind his back.

Song Jiang waved his hand, signaling the three lackeys to get lost, and the three hurriedly ran outside.

A yamen runner asked, "Are you really going to release them, clerk?"

Song Jiang smiled slightly: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. How could I, Song Jiang, go back on my word?"

The constables remained silent. Song Jiang watched the three figures disappear quickly and simply smiled. It would be best if these three could return to Qingyun Mountain; he was afraid they wouldn't, as that would make future battles easier.

At Qingyun Mountain, Di Lei was drinking happily with his men, and a young man was also there, none other than Ximen Qing.

Di Lei offered Ximen Qing a bowl of wine and said, "Master Ximen, why are you insisting that I demand gold from Master Chen? Do you have a personal grudge against him?"

Ximen Qing laughed and said, "No, it's just that Master Chen has a great reputation, and everyone knows he's rich. He's a huge piece of meat for Qingyun Mountain."

Di Lei laughed and said, "Master Ximen, do you think I'm a fool? I went to Master Chen to ask for money and grain, so why did you send me gold, silver, silk, and a lot of medicine? You must have something to ask for."

Ximen Qing waved his fan and said, "Chief Di is indeed not simple. I do have a request."

Diller smiled but did not answer.

Ximen Qing continued, "I hope Qingyun Mountain can help me eliminate Yuncheng County."

Di Lei lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before replying, "I have already sent five hundred men to Yuncheng, but the idea of ​​wiping out Dancheng County is quite astonishing, Master Ximen. If I do that, the imperial court will send a large army to besiege us in a few days. Wouldn't that be a losing proposition for me?"

Just as Ximen Qing was about to speak, a voice came from afar: "Master, Master ...

He was panting as he ran, and he was still talking.

Di Lei frowned, and the man shouted, "Five hundred brothers, all perished in Yuncheng."

Di Lei was startled, and the bowl in his hand slipped from his grasp and shattered on the ground with a crash.

Dire shouted, "What did you say? Say it again!"

The man, catching his breath, said, "All five hundred of our brothers in Yuncheng County have perished. No, it's four hundred and ninety-nine of them. Only one brother has just returned to the mountain."

""

Di Lei roared, "Summon him here! What exactly happened? He's got so many of my brothers in this mess!"

Ximen Qing remained silent. He had thought that burning down the county government office with five hundred men would cause trouble for Song Jiang, or even kill him. Then, he could persuade Di Lei to take Yuncheng, thus avenging Wu Qianhu.

He swore that he would make the people of Yuncheng County offer a blood sacrifice to Wu Qianhu!

But who would have thought that all five hundred men would not return? For the first time, he felt that Song Jiang was actually a bit scary, and he also thought of the tragic death of Commander Wu!

Ximen Qing had some doubts about whether it was right or wrong for him to agree to help Wu Yueniang avenge her, but then he gritted his teeth and decided that Song Jiang had to die.

The henchman walked forward tremblingly, and upon seeing Di Lei, he knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

Di Lei stepped forward and helped the henchman up, comforting him, "This is Qingyun Mountain, just say what's on your mind!" This was Di Lei's charm; he was always fair in rewards and punishments and treated his subordinates like brothers, which is why many people were extremely loyal to him.

Of course, Di Lei himself was also highly skilled in martial arts. When he wielded his pair of iron hammers, he was powerful and invincible!

The henchman wiped away his tears and recounted the events of that night in the county town, word by word. He explained how Xu Guang had told him to hide in a barrel, which was how he escaped. He hid there for the entire night, and only managed to escape Yuncheng at dawn the next day.

After listening, Di Lei walked to the table, placed his hands on it, and remained silent for a long time, standing there in a daze, no one knew what he was thinking!

Instead, Ximen Qing spoke up, "Who did it? Was it Song Jiang?"

The henchman shook his head and said, "It was a vicious scheme devised by a man named Zhang Wenyuan."

"Zhang Wenyuan, who is that?" Ximen Qing was completely confused. Where did this person come from?

Not to mention Ximen Qing, even Di Lei had never heard of this name before, but the fact that Zhang Wenyuan could cause the deaths of five hundred of his brothers in Yuncheng suggests that he was no ordinary person.

The henchman hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Zhang Wenyuan said that in his previous life he was a powerful figure at Xiaoyao Ford, and now dealing with us rats is a piece of cake for him."

With a "smash," Di Lei could no longer hold back and slammed his hand on the table. The table shattered instantly, and the wine jars and plates of food on the table crashed to the ground and broke into pieces.

Di Lei first laughed loudly, then shouted, "Gather five thousand brothers, prepare provisions, and in three days we will go directly to Yuncheng to show them our power."

Then Di Lei looked at someone next to him and asked, "Why hasn't He Jian returned yet? He's been gone for so long!"

One of the people nearby said, "Normally, He Jian should have returned a few days ago. Even if something delayed him, his brothers would surely have returned as well. Could something have happened?"

Di Lei said to the person next to him, "Take a hundred men and go find He Jian. We need to see him alive or dead."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Cui Hao, take twenty brothers and infiltrate Yuncheng. No matter what, you must kill Zhang Wenyuan. I will then lead the main army to attack."

Ximen Qing suddenly spoke up: "Could it be that Song Jiang was behind all of this?"

Di Lei glanced at Ximen Qing and said, "No matter what, this Zhang Wenyuan must die. Anyone who insults Qingyun Mountain must be killed. As for Song Jiang, Cui Hao, if you have the chance after you kill Zhang Wenyuan, just kill him as well."

With the arrangements made, the two men accepted their orders and left. Di Lei looked at Ximen Qing and said, "Master Ximen, what follows is an internal matter of Qingyun Mountain. You see..."

Ximen Qing understood that Di Lei was giving him the order to leave, so he nodded and smiled, "In that case, I'll take my leave now and won't disturb you any longer, Chief Di. I wish you a successful campaign, Chief Di."

Di Lei said indifferently, "No need to see me out."

Zhang Wenyuan has been riding high lately. He had praised himself extensively in front of the bandits on Qingyun Mountain, and with the flattery from the constables these past few days, he was so smug that he lost sight of himself.

But what made people happiest was not these things, but Miss Chen, the daughter of the wealthy Chen family.

You should know that that night, following Song Jiang's plan, he captured many thieves, making a great contribution. More importantly, the wealthy Chen personally thanked him, and Miss Chen's gaze seemed to hold some interest.

Who is Zhang Wenyuan? He is always thinking about seducing good women. He naturally knows that Miss Chen may have already fallen in love with him. If he can get on the good side of the wealthy Chen, his future will be bright.

Even if it's a loss, becoming a live-in son-in-law is fine. Although I have a brother-in-law, the Chen family is incredibly wealthy. I can easily get some of their wealth and be set for life. Plus, Miss Chen has a face as beautiful as a peach blossom and a slender figure. She's definitely a beauty. If I miss this opportunity, how could I live up to my nickname of "the flower garden"?

These past few days, the bandits from Qingyun Mountain seem to have disappeared, and they haven't bothered Yuncheng at all. The Chen family is all staying in the county government office, so I'm taking advantage of their proximity!

Zhang Wenyuan was a pragmatist who came to the county government office every day when he had nothing to do. He was much more diligent than he used to be, leaving late and returning early. Everyone knew that he had ulterior motives, but no one bothered to say it out loud. On the contrary, Chen the wealthy man was quite displeased.

In his eyes, Zhang Wenyuan was nothing but a gigolo, penniless and powerless, hardly worthy of his daughter. Moreover, this man was fickle and lecherous, hardly a good man. However, seeing that his daughter seemed interested in this gigolo, he didn't dare say much for the time being.

That day, Miss Chen was really bored staying in the county government office and wanted to go for a stroll on the street. Song Jiang had previously warned the Chen family that it was best to stay in the county government office until things were settled, otherwise they would be ambushed by Qingyun Mountain, which would be a great loss!

But Ms. Chen is a young girl, at the age when she should be lively, cheerful, innocent and romantic. Staying at home every day is indeed a bit depressing!

Zhang Wenyuan happened to come to see Miss Chen again today. Knowing what Miss Chen was thinking, he volunteered to be her protector and go out with her.

Mr. Chen was somewhat helpless. Looking at his precious daughter, what could he say except to agree?

After thinking for a moment, Song Jiang summoned Wu Song and asked him to accompany him for protection. However, Zhang Wenyuan directly rejected Song Jiang's suggestion.

It's a rare treat to go out with Miss Chen, so how could I let Wu Song cause trouble?

The streets of Yuncheng were bustling and unaffected by the night raid on the Chen family from Qingyun Mountain a few days ago.

However, this bustling street was now filled with many people, who were the villagers from the surrounding villages of Dancheng County.

Previously, Song Jiang had asked his father, Song Taigong, to notify the village heads of various villages to come to Dancheng County for refuge. Although many people were skeptical, they still came. After all, they were provided with food and each family received ten coins a day. Such a good deal was too good to pass up.

Chen, the wealthy man, kept his word. He promised to take care of the villagers' grain, and he really did. Every morning and evening, he would cook porridge in front of his grain store, and the villagers would come at that time to have a bowl.

But this raises a problem: the issue of sleep.

Chen, the wealthy man, was overjoyed after annihilating Qingyun Mountain. With a wave of his hand, he emptied two warehouses, leaving the villagers to sleep inside.

The villagers were bored every day, so they simply took on odd jobs. Many wealthy people were happy to hire them to do things, such as building houses, carrying things, etc. Everything was quite harmonious.

Zhang Wenyuan led Miss Chen through the bustling market. Miss Chen hadn't been to a market in a long time, and her face was beaming with a happy smile, like a blooming rose. However, they didn't notice that someone was following them.

Miss Chen was enjoying a steamed bun. The bun wasn't expensive, only one cent each. It had a thin skin, a generous filling, and was juicy and delicious. The only problem was that there was a long queue.

Moreover, the steamed bun shop is located in an alley, and going door-to-door is not something Zhang Wenyuan likes to do. But he has to do even the most difficult things just to make the beauty happy!

The two were walking side by side in the quiet alley when suddenly six people appeared in front of them, each holding a gleaming steel knife, blocking their way!

Zhang Wenyuan's heart skipped a beat. He pulled Miss Chen and turned to leave, only to find that six more people came out from behind and completely blocked their way.
