Chapter 81 Don't Cause Trouble for Your Brother
When Yang Chang walked out of the military camp gate, he remembered that he had nothing in his hands, so he gave up the road up the mountain and went into the dense thorn forest on the side.
When you visit someone to ask for a favor, how can you not bring gifts?
He brought two prey with him, and also hoped to get a few 'toys'.
As for why he didn't go back to the camp to get a bow and arrow? Yang Chang now had a special skill [Meteor Shatter], and the stones he could find everywhere were his weapons, so he only needed to use them stealthily.
Yang Chang wandered in the woods for an hour and only hunted a pheasant and a hare. Unfortunately, he didn't get the [Camouflage Feather] and [Throbbing Pill].
After finally arriving at Hou Jian's residence on the top of the mountain, this guy was actually taking a nap outside the Yijiafang, leaning with his back to the sun.
My goodness, as the director of a bedding factory, is this how you work?
"Brother Hou, you feel so comfortable!"
"Who?"
Hou Jian jumped up from his chair upon hearing this, turned around and saw Yang Chang holding the prey, so he asked, "Brother Yang, you are a rare visitor, are you just passing by?"
"No, I came here specifically to find you."
Yang Chang lifted the prey up, as if to say, "I've come to give you a gift."
Although Hou Jian was small, he was smart. He immediately picked up a stool from the house and moved it in front of Yang Chang with a smile.
"Brother Yang came with gifts, do you want me to make clothes for you?"
"I want to make clothes, but not ordinary clothes. I want a set of armor."
"armor?"
As soon as Hou Jian accepted the gift, he froze in place with an embarrassed look on his face, too embarrassed to know whether to accept it or not.
Yang Chang was very surprised when he saw this, so he asked, "Is it inconvenient?"
"If it was ordinary leather armor, maybe I could think of a way, but armor is too difficult."
"I know that Brother Hou is good at tailoring, but none of your minions can make armor?"
"Haha." Hou Jian smiled bitterly, pointing to the armor shop behind him, and explained: "King Chao assigned a few minions to help sew ordinary clothes, and no one in Liangshan mined or smelted armor, so there was no raw material for armor."
"Then your armor workshop?"
"Perhaps when Liangshan becomes stronger in the future, there will be someone in charge of mining, smelting and forging. Only then will the Armor Shop be truly put to use. Now we can only say that there is such a job. Currently, the weapons and armor in the mountain stronghold are all brought by the leaders themselves, or looted."
"hiss"
Yang Chang took a deep breath and suddenly thought of the Golden Leopard Tang Long, who was Liangshan's professional blacksmith. Unfortunately, he hadn't come up the mountain yet, so if he wanted his armor, he could only rob him.
I still overestimated Liangshan and arrived too early.
"Brother Yang, take this prey."
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. Why are you returning it to me, brother Hou? I'll need you to sew some clothes for me later."
"Thank you very much."
"in this way."
Yang Changzhi knew the whole story and didn't plan to stay any longer. He clapped his hands on his thighs, stood up, clasped his fists and said, "I'm going back to the military camp in the back mountain first. I'll come and have a drink with you when I'm free later."
"Brother, wait a moment. It will be my turn to prepare the feast on May 18th. Please come and have a drink then."
"Oh? I've got that in mind."
Hou Jian invited everyone to a banquet today, and Yang Chang then remembered that they had to take turns to host the banquet.
On that day, Chao Gai redefined the positions and established rules, and each leader took turns to host a banquet to celebrate every day.
At this time, there were more than sixty leaders of Liangshan, which meant that different leaders would invite people to dinner every two months. However, the size of the banquet depended on their popularity. For a marginal figure like Hou Jian, it was considered good if he could gather two tables.
A few days ago, Wu Yong, Liu Tang, Lin Chong and others held a banquet, but no one went to the back mountain to invite Yang Chang and his wife. Wu Yong and Liu Tang were not familiar with Yang Chang, and Lin Chong's deputy general Wang Ying was present at the banquet, so he did not invite the two of them for fear of trouble.
"Dual-income earners" like Yang Chang and Sun Xin were arranged to be the last to have a feast among all the leaders.
During the next few dozen days, nothing major happened in Liangshan.
In addition to accompanying Hu Sanniang in training, Yang Chang would ride horses around the camp and occasionally go up the mountain to attend banquets hosted by Li Jun and others. Hu Sanniang's idea of using two swords and two knives was not as good as Yang Chang's long stick, as it was not as good as using a sword on horseback, but it could not fully exert the "power of a tiger".
According to the strength analysis, it would be very suitable for Yang Chang to use a mace, but unfortunately the Armor Shop is just a decoration at this time, and all weapons and armor need to be stolen after going down the mountain.
Keep waiting, there will be many wars after Liangshan, buddies can pick up corpses and a handy weapon at the same time.
As for the armor he needs most, the one handed down from Xu Ning's family seems to be good. I wonder if there is a chance to get it.
If it is too difficult, you can only ask Tang Long to do a set.
Thinking about having to do favors again, Yang Chang suddenly missed the days of training in previous generations, when the main feature was that they were not sociable.
However, no matter in ancient times or today, if you want to live a decent life, you cannot escape the human nature.
So on May 18th, Yang Chang went for a walk in the woods again in the morning, and finally brought some game to Yijiafang for a banquet.
Hou Jian didn't have many friends in Liangshan. Apart from his master the sick tiger Xue Yong, there were a few companions who had deceived Li Ying that day.
Five people came, Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, Pei Xuan, Yang Lin and Bai Sheng. The remaining Dai Zong, Li Jun and Zhang Shun made the excuse that they were busy and did not come. Including Yang Chang, there were just enough people to fill two tables.
Yang Chang had previously served as Song Jiang's personal soldier, and had just met Pei Xuan, Yang Lin, and Bai Sheng. His impression of them was further deepened on the day of their wedding banquet, and meeting them again at this time was a second reinforcement, so of course they would clink glasses during the banquet.
The summer heat of May has arrived, and everyone drinks to quench their thirst, drinking from the afternoon until dusk.
The eight guests at the two tables drank a lot to their heart's content, and when they stood up to say goodbye, they all staggered. Only Yang Chang had [Suppressing Drugs] to counteract his drunkenness, so he was the most sober among them all. However, he pretended to stumble, not wanting others to know about his special skill.
As luck would have it, except for Yang Chang who lived at the foot of the mountain, the other seven people lived on the top of the mountain, so he said goodbye to everyone and went alone.
The setting sun sinks into the horizon, weary birds return to their nests, the earth is silent, and darkness begins to count down.
Before nightfall, Liangshan sat quietly in the water like a virgin.
Yang Chang was walking in Wanzi City. The south wind blowing through the streets felt comfortable on his body, taking away the excess warmth accumulated during the day.
At that moment, he stopped where he was and closed his eyes to enjoy the view. When the wind stopped, he opened his eyes and continued on his way. However, he took the wrong direction and went out of the city from the east gate. Not far outside was the Shanyou dry village.
"Huh? The road seems wrong?"
When Yang Chang saw the fire in the camp, he realized that he had taken the wrong road.
He covered his forehead to keep himself awake, looked around carefully, and finally found the direction of north.
I turned around and took a few steps when I suddenly heard someone shouting from the direction of the camp, and the voice sounded particularly familiar.
"It seems to be Wang Aihu? There seems to be Dai Zong as well?"
Yang Chang was curious, so he found a large rock nearby and hid under it.
As luck would have it, the two of them, one in front and one behind, were both rushing towards the stone.
It was dusk, and the area was dotted everywhere. As long as the two men didn't light a fire, it would be difficult to find someone behind the rock.
"Wang Aihu, come back with me and apologize!"
"Dean Dai, what have I done wrong? I just complained a few words. What does that have to do with Lin Chong?"
"You know the coach's situation, but you talked about someone's wife behind his back. Isn't it normal for him to scold you? And it's obvious that he admires Yang Chang."
"He admires a bird!"
Yang Chang hid behind a rock and eavesdropped, but he didn't expect that he would be eaten by the melon. He immediately pricked up his ears and continued to listen.
"You have a grudge with Yang Chang, so don't bring it to Instructor Lin. You should know that he is a veteran of Liangshan. I'm afraid Brother Gongming had to spend a lot of time and effort to persuade you to serve as his deputy commander in the dry camp."
"So what if he's a Liangshan veteran? Can he bully me just because he's good at martial arts? What does it have to do with him if I scold Hu Sanniang? This guy is totally unreasonable! I'll ask Brother Gongming to take charge."
"Just vent your anger outside, and then go back and say a few soft words. I will also help you smooth things over. If you respect Brother Gongming, don't cause trouble for him."
"Okay."
