Chapter 38 Wait a minute, Madam
Yang Chang did not refute. He admitted that he did not know how to taste wine. It was the same for strong liquor in his previous life, and it was the same for rice wine in this world.

It’s just that the alcohol content of Song Dynasty wine is lower, and it is easier to drink than modern wine like Erguotou. It has a faint sweet aftertaste in the mouth, which is somewhat similar to alcoholic beverages, but the aftereffect is much stronger than that of alcoholic beverages.

When Yang Chang first arrived, he was not careful and got drunk several times in front of Wu Song.

Perhaps it was because he had developed a good alcohol tolerance from drinking a lot, or perhaps it was because of the help of [Suppressing Drugs], but Yang Chang never got drunk once during the trip to and from sending Wu Song.

Xu Ji drank quickly, and when the cool breeze outside the door blew on him, he became drunk and talked more. He pulled Yang Changzhi to talk.

Yang Chang could only act as a trash can for talking, and agreed with him while eating the food. However, the more Xu Ji spoke, the more he talked. He even inexplicably attributed the murder and arson that Zhang Qing had mentioned to himself, which made the waiter in the hall look surprised.

"Don't blame me, my brother is just drunk and talking nonsense, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

"hehe."

In response to Yang Chang's explanation, the waiter just smiled and nodded, without confirming or denying it.

"Fourth brother, eat more food, you are drunk!"

"Drunk? How could I be drunk?"

Xu Ji muttered and waved his hands. He picked up the jar to sift the wine but found it was empty. "Eh? Where's my wine? Waiter, heat up some more wine."

Yang Chang was about to raise his hand to signal to ignore him, when he suddenly heard a horse neighing outside the store. The waiter hurriedly left him and went out to greet him.

Are the Zhujiazhuang militia here for patrol?
While I was thinking about it, there was another sound outside the door.

"Really? Take me there now!"

"Ok?"

Yang Chang turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the waiter bringing in a man.

The man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a straight nose, a square mouth, and was eight feet tall. Seeing that he was young, tall, and dignified, Yang Chang thought that he must be no unknown person.

He was about to ask for his name, but the other party looked him over briefly and then shouted angrily, "You bold thief, you dare to come to Dulonggang to do evil. It's your bad luck to meet me, Zhu Biao, today!"

"Zhu Biao?"

Yang Chang opened his eyes wide and swallowed hard. He remembered that among the three brothers of the Zhu family, Zhu Biao had the best martial arts. But from the tone he spoke just now, it seemed that he mistook us for thieves?
Oh no, Xu Ji talked nonsense and was misunderstood.

“No, you misunderstood.”

"Thieves? Isn't that a coincidence?"

Xu Ji was confused and thought Zhu Biao claimed to be a thief. Before Yang Chang could react, he picked up the water and fire stick on the table and started hitting him.

call!
Zhu Biao dodged to the side and the water and fire stick hit the air, leaving only a sound.

"Interesting. I have nothing to do tonight, so I'll just have some fun."

"Where are you going, thief!"

"Fourth brother is wrong, Mr. Zhu"

Before Yang Chang could finish his words, Xu Ji swung the second stick at Zhu Biao.

Unfortunately, Xu Ji was drunk and his men were in disarray. Zhu Biao dodged and grabbed his upper arm, then used the force to push him out of the door. Xu Ji staggered a few steps and hung on the threshold, falling face first to the ground.

"Tied!"

Zhu Biao shouted, turned around and stared at Yang Chang again, and said contemptuously: "Now it's your turn. I finally found some fun. I hope you can do a few more moves."

"No," Yang Chang waved his hands and explained, "My dear, you misunderstood. We are not thieves, but archers from Yanggu County!"

"Hahaha."

Zhu Biao raised his head and laughed, then pointed at himself and asked back: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

"What I said is true." Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't believe him, Yang Chang quickly took out his own weapon as evidence, "Look at this fire and water stick, it was issued by the government, how could a thief have it?"

"You forged a fire and water stick, pretended to be an officer and soldier to do evil. You can fool others but not me. I will be beaten!"

After listening to the waiter's report, Zhu Biao saw Yang Chang and Xu Ji drinking shirtless, which looked like officials at all. So he presumed that the two men were thieves.

Before he finished his words, Zhu Biao took a quick step forward, trying to catch Yang Chang by following his example.

Yang Chang was unwilling to surrender, so he quickly held up the water and fire stick to block the attack, but he was not as quick as Zhu Biao, and was grabbed by the shoulder as soon as they met.

Just as Zhu Biao was about to push and throw him, Yang Chang immediately raised his shoulder and used a random Iron Mountain Lean attack.

Yang Chang's body was as strong as a thousand pounds, and his leaning was like a crashing iron mountain, forcing Zhu Biao to retreat several steps until he put his feet against the door sill to relieve the force.

"Hiss" Zhu Biao held his sore wrist, shocked by the great strength of the man in front of him, and finally took Yang Chang seriously.

"That's interesting. Take a stick and come outside. There's no room to relax here."

"it is good."

Yang Chang followed him out of the store with a water and fire stick in his hand and a serious expression.

Last time at the Cross Hill, he defeated the "hero" Zhang Qing with just one stick. He didn't know the level of his martial arts skills yet, so now he could use Zhu Biao to test it.

Judging from the fight just now, Zhu Biao is much better than Zhang Qing, and Yang Chang was able to use the Iron Mountain Backbone to repel him, so it seems that he can also fight?
When Yang Chang frowned and came out of the store, he saw Zhu Biao picking up Xu Ji's weapon and making a provocative gesture towards him.

"Little thief, let me make the first move."

"You can have fun if you want, Mr. Zhu, but we are really the Duke of Yanggu."

"Without further ado!"

Zhu Biao was like a lion attacking a rabbit, and he didn't regard Yang Chang as a public official at all.

He had just promised to let Yang Chang take the first move, but after replying, he suddenly leaped forward, raised his stick and hit Yang Chang on the head.

There was a snap.

Yang Chang held the stick horizontally with both hands and raised it above his head to block.

"You guy"

Zhu Biao was bounced back by the counter-thrust, his face suddenly became gloomy, and then he raised his stick to attack.

Yang Chang's agility was not as good as Zhu Biao's, so he could only take a defensive stance and passively defend. He applied the gun and stick skills he had picked up in actual combat based on his memory and did not let Zhu Biao gain any advantage.

Before they knew it, the two had fought for twenty rounds, making Zhu Biao sweat profusely.

It’s not that his martial arts are not as good as Yang Chang’s, but the other party has extraordinary strength. He can’t help but be on guard when attacking, for fear of being hit and losing face for the Zhu family.

The followers that Zhu Biao brought with him were not a big deal. The key point was that the waiter at the inn was from the Hu family. How could he be hurt by a petty thief? Being timid and cowardly, it was difficult for him to display his skills.

This thief is skilled in stick handling and has an uncanny strength. It looks like he'll have to use his silver spear to win.

Zhu Biao did what he thought. While fighting with Yang Chang, he shouted, "Give me my gun."

"Haha, who forced Saburo to use a gun?"

"Huh?" Zhu Biao sounded familiar and quickly reached out to stop Yang Chang: "Wait a minute!"

Looking back, it was indeed Hu Cheng. He pointed at Yang Chang and explained, "Brother, you came at the right time. Two bandits came to your village. I have captured one and was just playing with the other one."

"Really? It seems like you're having a hard time."

A woman's voice came from the crowd at the back.

As soon as he finished speaking, the speaker rode out of the darkness and came to the light beside Hu Cheng.

"Sanniang?" Zhu Biao was surprised and happy, and asked hurriedly, "Why are you here?"

"This is Hujia Village, why can't I come?"

Hu Sanniang had a heroic look on her face as she looked Yang Chang up and down, without looking directly at Zhu Biao.

"No." Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly and added, "What I mean is, for a little thief like this, there is no need for you to worry about it. Zhu Biao will capture him for you and then the Hu family will escort him to the government."

"You are tired of fighting, it's my turn to catch the thief"

"I"

After Hu Sanniang finished speaking, she dismounted from her horse and stood beside Hu Cheng in a heroic manner. Her tall figure was worthy of the name "Yizhangqing".

Yang Chang was about ten feet away. Although he couldn't see Hu Sanniang's face clearly, he thought that since Zhu Biao licked her like that, she shouldn't be that far off.

Just as he was complaining in his heart, Hu Sanniang came up to Zhu Biao and stretched out her hand: "Give me the weapon, don't take advantage of him!"

"No. Sanniang, you are used to using two swords."

"Bring it!"

"Wait a minute, ma'am. I have something to say."

Yang Chang suddenly took two steps forward, holding the water and fire stick and saluted with his fists clasped.
