Chapter 129: Whom Do You Hate? I Will Go Kill Him
Inside the Yuncheng County prison, Bearded Zhu Tong and Winged Tiger Lei Heng looked at each other, unable to utter a sound.
It was seen that both men had cangues and fetters on their shoulders, their clothes in tatters, and their bodies covered in blood and grime. Iron chains were also fastened to their feet!
Zhu Tong sat with his feet crossed, while Lei Heng lowered his head and sighed.
Outside the prison cell, countless soldiers and jailers patrolled back and forth to prevent the two from escaping!
Just as Zhu Tong and Lei Heng’s hearts were filled with mixed emotions and their faces complex, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the prison!
At first listen, it sounded like a thunderclap from the heavens!
While the jailers outside were still in a panic, a burly man wielding two large iron mallets jumped in from the doorway.
With a swing of his arms, he smashed down two small jailers who tried to step forward to question him!
The man was over ten feet tall, with a face like a pumpkin skin, two vertical vermilion eyebrows, a lion-like nose, a square mouth, and a head of red beard below his jaw!
He held two large iron mallets in his hands, moving with the ferocity of a plague god and the power of a Grand Commander!
It was none other than Dragon-Catching Hand Shangguan Yi!
As soon as he charged in, he attacked the soldiers and smashed the jailers, shouting from time to time:
“Captain Zhu, Captain Lei, where are you? Your sworn brother is here to save you…”
Hearing the voice, Zhu Tong and Lei Heng immediately looked over!
Upon seeing Shangguan Yi charging at them, their faces immediately lit up with infinite surprise, and they shouted one after another:
“Brother Shangguan Yi, your younger brother Zhu Tong is here!”
“Brother Shangguan Yi, Lei Heng is… here! Hurry and break open the prison door, then unlock the cangues, and I will kill… kill those dirty birds with you!…”
As they were shouting, they saw another person behind Shangguan Yi, and Zhu Tong and Lei Heng became even more agitated:
“Brother Wang Lun!…”
“Oh my! Brother, you actually came… personally to save us?…”
The man had a well-proportioned face, like jade, eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes like bright stars, and a straight nose and square mouth.
He wore a three-pronged golden hairpin to tie his hair, and a moon-white headscarf inlaid with a beaded forehead band!
He was clad in beast-face chain armor, with a Sichuan brocade white robe underneath!
A moon-white cloak hung from his shoulders, and an exquisite lion belt was tied around his waist!
In his hand, he held a tiger-head black-shaft black-tasseled spear, majestic and imposing!
It was none other than the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold Wang Lun!
Any soldier or small jailer who dared to approach was struck down by the bandit leader’s spear, falling in heaps!
“Hehe! Two captains, you have suffered. My sworn brother Wang Lun and I have come to save you!”
Shangguan Yi rushed up, smashed the prison door with a mallet, and grinned:
“Neither of you need to rush, I will rescue you now!”
“Brother Wang Lun! Brother Shangguan…”
Zhu Tong and Lei Heng struggled to get up and were about to speak when they heard Wang Lun laugh:
“This is not a place for reminiscing, let’s go out first!
Brother Shangguan Yi, go in and bring the two captains to follow me!
Let’s break out together!”
Hearing this, Shangguan Yi immediately tucked his large iron mallets into his waist, entered the prison, and helped Zhu Tong with one hand and Lei Heng with the other as they walked out!
Wang Lun led the way with his spear, killing anyone he encountered. The three behind him simply followed him out of the prison!
Along the way, any soldiers and jailers they met were struck down by the bandit leader’s spear!
The four of them strolled out of the prison as if on a leisurely walk, leaving a trail of corpses and blood along the way.
There were also countless others who were pushed over and fell, or who lay down on the ground pretending to be dead.
In a short while, they reached the outside of the prison gate. The bright moon was still high in the sky, and the gate was empty, with not a single soldier in sight!
Wang Lun looked around, then turned to Zhu Tong and Lei Heng, and said with a smile:
“I have arrived a step late, and have made you two brothers suffer these past few days!”
“Brother, you mustn’t say that!” Zhu Tong cupped his hands and said with a smile:
“Although we have agreed to join the group at Liangshan, it has only been a few days!
For you to risk your life and come personally to save us, this younger brother’s gratitude is beyond words!”
Lei Heng also cupped his hands and said with a smile: “To be honest, I, Lei Heng, never dreamed…
That you, Brother, would come all the way to Yuncheng County to save… ah, save me and Captain Zhu!
I cannot express this kindness, your younger brother will remember… remember it in my heart!”
Wang Lun shook his head and smiled, “Since we are brothers, two captains, you don’t need to be so polite!”
Shangguan Yi beside him smiled, “Two captains, you may not know!
In fact, Brother Wang Lun only heard today from Brother Zhu Gui at Li Family Road that you two were captured and imprisoned by Timely Rain Song Jiang!
Upon hearing this, the brother did not hesitate and rushed here with me on a flying horse!…”
As he was speaking, Wang Lun waved his hand and smiled, “That’s enough!
Brother Shangguan, stop talking about the past!
It’s good that the two captains are out of life-threatening danger. After a few days of recovery, they will be vigorous and energetic heroes again!”
After speaking, he looked at Zhu Tong and Lei Heng and said with a smile:
“You two brothers are in such a sorry state, you must have suffered a lot in prison and endured much hardship!
My heart aches, and I wish I could have suffered in your place!
Tell me, who do you two brothers resent the most in your hearts now!
I will go kill him now and vent your anger for you!”
Upon hearing this, before Zhu Tong and Lei Heng could say anything, Shangguan Yi’s face was filled with admiration:
“Ah! Brother, your righteousness!
Now I finally understand why Commander Du Xue, the Four Brave Generals of Longzhong Mountain, and the Five Tigers of White Python Mountain, and others have all defected to you, Brother!
With your generous righteousness, which brother would not admire you?
Without a doubt, if Brother wants to kill someone, your younger brother will accompany you!”
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Tong cupped his hands and said with a smile:
“Your younger brother thanks you two brothers for your good intentions!
If you two brothers had brought troops with you to Yuncheng County this time, then your younger brother would not hesitate to ask you brothers to go and kill and take revenge!
But since only two people are here, and your younger brother and Captain Lei cannot fight against people at the moment!
If we act rashly, we will surely suffer a great loss!
Your younger brother and Captain Lei are living examples of this!
Therefore, let’s forget about this matter for now!”
Lei Heng continued, “Captain Zhu speaks… speaks with reason!
We have suffered countless hardships these past few days, and we certainly want… want to kill and take revenge!
But we cannot, because of my and Zhu Tong’s personal resentment, allow… ah, let two brothers be in danger!
As the saying goes, a gentleman’s revenge is… ten… ten years not too late!
We will return another day and seek… seek to settle the score!”
Hearing their words, Wang Lun could not help but laugh:
“It is good that you two brothers can consider it this way, it was not in vain for me and Brother Shangguan Yi to make this trip!
But to say the least!
If my brother is bullied, how can I stand by and do nothing?
If we don’t show these people some strength, won’t they think that we Heroes of Liangshan are all soft persimmons?
Two captains, do not have any worries, just tell me who you hate the most…”
