Of course, I should step forward to entertain them.
To avoid giving others cause for criticism,
People say that after Liangshan became powerful,
They then looked down on the other bandits!
However, Shi Xiu was outside the camp on Shaohua Mountain.
While waiting,
While observing the layout of the military camp,
It was quickly discovered that these people were members of the Shaohua Mountain outlaws.
It's about 70-80% confirmed.
Because the government troops were encamped
It has its own rules.
Even though the local imperial guards and garrison troops have long since fallen into corruption...
However, many rules and regulations have been largely inherited for over a century.
For a while,
But it still can't be changed.
In contrast to the government troops setting up camp...
The bandits, naturally, are much more relaxed.
Shi Xiu surveyed the camp before him.
Although it was arranged in a very orderly manner,
But arrangements need to be made for those traveling to and from various places.
However, they were all completely different from the government troops.
He had already confirmed the identities of this group in his mind.
At this time,
Nine-Dragon Shi Jin, accompanied by the strategist Zhu Wu and the leaping tiger Chen Da, also emerged from the military tent.
Upon seeing the man waiting alone outside the camp,
Zhu Wu couldn't help but praise,
"This Liangshan leader, Shi Xiu, dared to come to the camp alone to investigate as soon as he learned of our identities,"
"He truly deserves the title of 'workaholic'."
Shi Jin and Chen Da, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but nod in agreement.
The three walked quickly to the entrance of the military camp.
Shi Jin cupped his hands and inquired,
"Is this Shi Xiu, the leader of Liangshan?"
"My name is Shi Xiu,"
Even the daredevil bowed respectfully.
The people from Shaohua Mountain returned the greetings.
While introducing himself,
"I am Shi Jin, the Nine-Tattooed Dragon, the chieftain of Shaohua Mountain,"
"The brilliant strategist Zhu Wu."
"Chen Da, the Leaping Tiger".
After the three introduced themselves,
Seeing the doubt on Shi Xiu's face,
Zhu Wu explained with a smile,
“We also have a brother, Yang Chun, the White Flower Snake,”
"He has already taken our brother's letter and gone to deliver it to Liangshan..."
Chapter 595 The White Flower Snake Enters the Grand View Garden
"I see, then it seems I missed it."
Shi Xiu laughed heartily.
If they had actually noticed Yang Chun, who was delivering the message, just now...
I'm afraid that the white flower snake has already been captured by the desperate men.
Shi Jin, accompanied by Zhu Wu and Chen Da, welcomed Shi Xiu into the military camp.
Immediately order the henchmen to remove the banquet that had just been prepared.
They prepared another meal to entertain Shi Xiu.
...
the other side,
Yang Chun, the white-spotted snake, held Shi Jin's letter.
Mount a fast horse,
It took most of the day.
Finally, just before sunset,
We arrived at the shore of the lake.
Yang Chun was visiting Liangshan Marsh for the first time.
Furthermore, this time the entire Shaohua Mountain has come to seek refuge.
He certainly dared not be presumptuous.
So they did as Zhu Wu instructed.
First, find the villagers nearby.
I inquired about the location of the Liangshan West Bank Hotel.
He then hurriedly rode his horse over there.
In the eyes of the White Flower Snake
This Liangshan inn was located on the shore of the marsh.
It's probably similar to the hidden shops they built nearby on Shaohua Mountain.
It was basically a small tavern with a thatched roof.
But when he arrived at the destination,
Appearing before my eyes,
It was a small town with a large, bustling flow of people.
"this....."
Yang Chun led the horse,
Standing blankly at the entrance of town,
It took me a while to react.
After a while,
The white-flowered snake realized what was happening.
I thought I had gone to the wrong place.
He quickly grabbed an old man carrying a load on a shoulder pole next to him.
"Fellow villager, may I ask where this is? How far is it from the hotel on the west bank of Liangshan?"
"The hotel on the west bank of Liangshan? Isn't it right here?"
The old man looked Yang Chun up and down as if he were a fool.
Then he asked in return,
"Young man, you're not from out of town, are you?"
"right,"
The white-flowered snake quickly nodded.
"Haha, no wonder,"
The old man chuckled twice.
He then began to explain the origins of the town to Yang Chun.
It turns out that ever since Liangshan set up four inns around this marshland, in the east, west, south, and north,
After being used to sell refined salt and sugar,
The merchants who flocked in
The hotels along the shore were immediately packed to capacity.
Liangshan, of course, wouldn't miss out on the business opportunity.
It's right next to the hotel.
Many new houses were built.
They were all rented to these eager merchants.
Although it was interrupted by the plague
Business around the lake declined for a while.
But as the plague in Shandong was gradually cured,
Businesses around the lake
It gradually returned to its former prosperity.
Because there were too many merchants coming from Wanglai.
Everything from eating and drinking to relieving oneself can be considered a business.
Soon, villagers from the surrounding area came to help.
Or buy and sell vegetables,
Or they could do manual labor, helping merchants unload goods.
It just happened slowly like that.
Over time,
This area around the hotel on the west bank of Liangshan Mountain
This gradually led to the formation of a market town.
"I never expected it to be like this,"
Yang Chun was stunned.
"How come the business at Liangshan is so thriving?"
No wonder he was surprised.
Nowadays, the bandit strongholds and mountain strongholds...
Basically all the necessities of life are provided.
