Chapter 475 Protecting the Best Sister 17
"Ah!"
Huang Tiancheng rubbed his nose and readjusted his posture: "Come again!"
Song Xiaoshan on the opposite side smiled and said, "Brother, did you catch a cold? Can I ask Aunt Zhang to make you some ginger soup?"
Huang Tiancheng frowned when he heard about ginger soup: "You little bastard, you know I don't like ginger soup, but you still dare to tease me? I'll beat you up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Tiancheng changed his palm into a fist and quickly hit Song Xiaoshan.
Song Xiaoshan responded hurriedly, dodging here and there with his short body, like a skinny monkey, very agile.
When Huang Tiancheng was a child, his family was poor and he was sent to a temple to become a monk. Later, when his family's situation improved, his father went to take him back.
During the years in the temple, Huang Tiancheng learned some boxing and kicking techniques from the masters there.
Although Huang Tiancheng is not a martial arts genius, he has developed great strength from carrying water and moving things since he was a child.
When something happened to the Huang family, he killed the cruel official who came to the door and then fled and wandered around outside.
Later, he met a group of like-minded brothers, and they decided to go to Ludangpo to become bandits.
After learning about Yu Xuan's affairs from a northern merchant, Huang Tiancheng simply raised his own banner, established the Huangmei Army, and became a rebel.
Today, the Yellow Eyebrow Army’s activities are no longer limited to Ludangpo. The surrounding area has become their territory.
Although it is not as powerful as the Green Forest Army, it is still a well-known presence in this area.
Although Song Xiaoshan was agile, he was no match for Huang Tiancheng and was quickly lifted up by him by his belt.
"Ouch! I give up, I give up!" Song Xiaoshan begged for mercy hurriedly.
Huang Tiancheng snorted coldly and held him up to walk around a few more times. Liuzi ran in from outside, still shouting, "Brother! There's a young lady looking for you! What a beautiful young lady, like a fairy!"
What?
A group of bachelors who were watching the fun became excited and surrounded Liuzi.
"Little lady? Where did this little lady come from?"
"How beautiful is she? Prettier than Aunt Zhang's daughter?"
"How many of you are here? What are you looking for the boss for?"
Huang Tiancheng threw Song Xiaoshan to the ground, ripped open his collar, revealing his slightly sweaty chest: "What's going on?"
Liuzi struggled to squeeze out of the encirclement and handed him the wooden sign: "Brother, I have this. I said it was an appointment with you before!"
Huang Tiancheng immediately recognized that this was the wooden sign he had personally handed to Zhang Rulan, and instantly became excited: "Where are they? Quick, quick, bring them in!"
"okay!"
Liuzi turned around and left, but was stopped by Huang Tiancheng again.
"Forget it," Huang Tiancheng waved his hand and hurried on, "I'll go pick them up!"
As he said this, he walked quickly out of the village, not forgetting to tidy up his messy clothes.
Liuzi quickly followed: "Brother, wait for me!"
The people who stayed behind looked at each other in bewilderment. Song Xiaoshan quickly got up from the ground, rolled his eyes, and waved his hand: "Let's go and take a look!"
Outside the village gate, Li Mingzhu silently observed the surrounding environment, while Zhang Rulan was thinking about what words to say next.
Behind the two sisters were the three Ruan siblings, trembling like quails.
Ruan Qi whispered to Ruan Ying, "The Yellow Eyebrow Army...are they also rebels?"
Ruan Ying nodded without saying anything, just hugged her brother and stayed close to Ruan Qi.
Although she was worried about courting disaster, she had no other choice but to place her hopes on Li Mingzhu and the others.
"You two..."
Huang Tiancheng hurried over and saluted Li Mingzhu and Zhang Rulan. "I didn't expect to see you two again so soon..."
As he spoke, Huang Tiancheng's eyes unconsciously glanced at Zhang Rulan.
Zhang Rulan smiled gently: "Brother Huang, we meet again!"
"Hehe," Huang Tiancheng scratched his head unconsciously, his face turned dark red.
Li Mingzhu stood aside without saying a word, watching Zhang Rulan and Huang Tiancheng interact.
They had already agreed that Zhang Rulan would be the one to deal with the situation when they arrived at Ludangpo.
"That traitor seems to have a crush on me, and we can take advantage of that," Zhang Rulan said calmly. "Scholars sell their beauty to seduce Hua Niang to support them, so why can't I do the same?"
In response to this, Li Mingzhu said: My sister is right!
Huang Tiancheng welcomed several people into the village and gave Song Xiaoshan a wink when passing by.
Song Xiaoshan nodded and ran to the kitchen.
Li Mingzhu and others sat down, and Song Xiaoshan came up with five glasses of water.
She picked up the cup and took a sip.
Oh, there’s sugar in it!
You know, with today's productivity, sugar is difficult to produce in large quantities.
Things like salt, iron, sugar, and wax are all strategic materials.
Especially in this special period of unrest, these important things are firmly controlled by powerful families.
Huang Tiancheng's willingness to serve them sweet soup was a sign of great sincerity.
"You all came here today. Have you found the whereabouts of that miracle medicine?"
Although Huang Tiancheng was very happy to see Zhang Rulan again, he still asked about the medicine first.
Although the Yellow Eyebrow Army still has some power today, they all come from poor backgrounds and are in dire need of medical care and medicine.
What he values most now are these brothers who have been through thick and thin with him.
Li Mingzhu took out ten small bottles from her bag and placed them in front of Huang Tiancheng.
Huang Tiancheng's eyes lit up and he hurriedly reached out to take it, but was stopped by Zhang Rulan.
She smiled and said, "Brother Huang, this medicine is not given for free."
Huang Tiancheng was stunned, frowning slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Brother Huang, do you know the Green Forest Army?" Zhang Rulan asked.
Huang Tiancheng nodded: "The Dingzhou Green Forest Army is the largest bandit camp here."
This is actually quite impolite.
The Green Forest Army held high the banner of "acting on behalf of Heaven and overthrowing the tyrant" in an attempt to claim justice and justify the rebellion.
But no matter what, they are bandits. They can deceive ignorant people outside, but people like the Yellow Eyebrow Army are well aware of their moral character.
Zhang Rulan sighed, a look of worry on her face: "Brother Huang, do you know that your Huangmei Army is about to face disaster?"
"That's really strange!"
A slow male voice came from outside.
Everyone turned around and saw a man with gray hair and beard stepping over the threshold.
The man saluted Huang Tiancheng: "General."
Huang Tiancheng quickly called out: "Mr. Wu, please take a seat!"
He introduced Li Mingzhu and the others: "This is Mr. Wu Juwu, the military advisor of our Yellow Eyebrow Army!"
The two sides saluted. Wu Ju stroked his beard and smiled at Zhang Rulan: "The Green Forest Army is in Dingzhou, and my Yellow Eyebrow Army is in Xiangzhou. We have always kept to ourselves. How could such a disaster come from this?"
Zhang Rulan ignored the other party's questioning attitude and calmly dropped a thunderbolt: "Do you know that just two days ago, the Green Forest Army kidnapped and killed the family of the prefect Ruan, who was returning to the capital to report on his work, outside Fuzhou City?"
"what?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was in an uproar.
Wu Ju frowned: "Is there any evidence?"
"Yes," Zhang Rulan nodded, looking at the three Ruan siblings sitting quietly, "These three are the Ruan family members who escaped death at the hands of the Green Forest Army!"
