Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 135

Because of this kind of thinking, Song Jiang, as a fugitive murderer, dared to swagger in the mountains and rivers in Qingfengzhai, entering and leaving wantonly.

Song Jiang believed that Hua Rong was his brother, and Liu Gao had gained his favor. The chief and deputy owners of Qingfengzhai would be his protection, so he could certainly walk sideways in Qingfengzhai.

What Song Jiang didn't expect was that Liu Gao of Zhengzhi Village in Qingfeng Village was a scholar who accepted death, and he didn't accept Song Jiang's exchange of interests.

When Zhizhai Liu Gao learned from his wife that Song Jiang was the bandit leader on Qingfeng Mountain, he immediately arrested Song Jiang by law enforcement, and did not hesitate to fall out with Song Jiang's Baidao umbrella, Deputy Zhizhai Huarong.

Without the support of generals, Liu Gao couldn't deal with the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain alone, so he had to ask Qingzhou City for help.Murong Yanda, the magistrate, also attached great importance to this matter, and sent Huang Xin, the "famous" soldier and horse commander "Zhen Sanshan".

Liu Gao, a scholar, didn't know that Huang Dujian was always bragging. How could he control three mountains, but he couldn't even control Qingfeng Mountain.

Because Liu Gao believed in Huang Xin's strength, he followed him out of Qingfeng Village.Unexpectedly, Huang Xin ran into robbers from Qingfeng Mountain on the road, leaving Liu Gao behind and fled!The unlucky Liu Gao fell into the hands of the robbers in Qingfeng Mountain.

……

Ximenqing saw Mrs. Liu Gao's appearance, and knew that she must have heard that the Qingzhou army had arrived, and that her husband Liu Gao hoped to be rescued.She came here specially to visit herself, the leader of the army, so that she could go to Qingfeng Mountain as soon as possible and rescue Liu Gao.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Liu Gao learned that the young and handsome general in front of her was the commander of this army, she immediately knelt down and begged Ximen Qing to send troops to break Qingfeng Mountain as soon as possible and rescue her husband Liu Gao.

Ximenqing sighed in his heart, thinking that there was nothing I could do to save Liu Gao.If I remember correctly, Liu Gao was brutally murdered by Song Jiang and others immediately after he was taken to Qingfeng Mountain.Liu Gao should have been dead for a few days now.

Ximen Qing thought to himself, if he had known Song Jiang was in Qingzhou earlier and arrived at Qingfengzhai before the Lantern Festival, maybe he could have changed the fate of saving Liu Gao.It was too late at this time, the only way to wipe out the Qingfengshan bandits was to change the fate of Liu Gao's family and Mrs. Liu Gao being murdered.

"Madam please, I came here this time to conquer Qingfeng Mountain and rescue Liu Zhizhai! Madam, don't worry, after I rest for a day, I will send troops to capture Qingfeng Mountain tomorrow. I believe that Liu Zhizhai must be auspicious and safe. It's all right." Ximen Qing promised to persuade Mrs. Liu Gao against his conscience.

There is no way!Official Ximen Qing couldn't help crying for such a delicate little lady in front of him.

Mrs. Liu Gao received Ximen Qing's reply, she felt a little more at ease, and went there gratefully.

Not long after, Liu Gao's mansion brought delicious meals and fine wines to the generals, and expressed his heart to everyone.

The mouth of others is soft, but the hands of others are short.Ximenqing ate the exquisite pastry made by Mrs. Liu Gao herself, and decided to make Song Jiang and Huarong look good tomorrow.

Chapter 193: Kong Liang Sends a Book

The next day, on Qingfeng Mountain, "Short-legged Tiger" Wang Ying made a fuss early in the morning, impatiently going to attack Qingfeng Village.

Yesterday at the wine table, Qin Ming promised to build Qingfeng Village as a gift to the heroes of Qingfeng Mountain, Wang Ying was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night.

Lying on the bed and thinking about Mrs. Liu Gao's charming appearance, Wang Ying felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, how could he still be able to sleep? He wished he could just fly into Qingfengzhai naked overnight, right in Liu Gao's mansion Enjoy that Mrs. Liu Gao.

When eating Liu Gao's wife, should the master tell the coquettish lady that her husband has been eaten by the master? Wang Xiaohu was lying on the bed, daydreaming evilly.

As soon as the sky dawned, Wang Ying, who was in a hurry, called up several brothers, and went down the mountain immediately to rectify the army and horses.

"Jin Mao Hu" Yan Shun scolded Wang Ying a few words, blaming him for not allowing the three brothers to sleep well.

Wang Ying complained there, saying that his brothers slept soundly at night, so he had to pity him, Wang Xiaohu, who didn't sleep all night.

Song Jiang and the others laughed out loud when they heard this, and they laughed at Brother Wang Ying for being so worthless because they were so worried about a woman.

When Wang Ying saw his older brothers making fun of him for being lustful, he was not ashamed, but rather proud.His ugly face was huddled together with a smile, and he said to Yanshun: "My brother knows that I love beautiful women the most. Today, I took down Qingfengzhai. The others will be killed and eaten by my brother. How can Mrs. Liu Gao be killed?" I can’t eat it, I have to keep it for my brother!”

Yan Shun smiled and said: "You are urging me to go down the mountain without breakfast. Do you want me to eat people in the village? Since you want me to stay with that woman, you must let me wait for my brother to eat breakfast before going down the mountain."

After Yanshun finished speaking, Zhang Luo led the people to have breakfast in the cottage, and then put on their armor, and went to organize the soldiers and horses, and prepared to go down the mountain to attack Qingfeng Village.

Qin Ming was going to persuade Huang Xin, he said goodbye to everyone, got on his horse, came down the mountain first, took the mace, and galloped away to Qingfeng Town.

After Qin Ming left, Song Jiang and others were reorganizing their troops. Suddenly, a young man ran to the Juyi Hall and reported to the leaders that a good man had come to visit Qingfeng Mountain and asked to meet "Timely Rain" Song Jiang.

Song Jiang, Huarong, Yanshun and others heard this, and came to the gate of the village together, only to see a big man standing outside the village.But I saw that he was wearing a turban with a red fishtail, and a battle robe with a green duck head.He wears a pair of boots that kick soil, and his waist measures red to match his shoulders.The man has a round face, big ears, wide lips and a square mouth. He is more than seven feet long and is about 24 to [-] years old.

When Song Jiang fixed his eyes on the big man, he exclaimed in surprise and joy: "Could it be Kong Liang who is here?"

Hearing Song Jiang's voice, the big man looked at Song Jiang in the crowd, rushed forward and fell to the ground, bowed, and shouted: "Master, I have finally found you!"

It turned out that the person who came was Kong Liang. He was the youngest son of Kong Taigong, the owner of the Kong family village at the foot of Baihu Mountain in Qingzhou.

Kong Liang also has an elder brother, who is called "Maotouxing" Kong Ming by people in the Jianghu.The two brothers are good at learning spears and sticks. Song Jiang once taught them some martial arts, so the two brothers Kong Ming and Kong Liang called Song Jiang their masters.

Before Song Jiang invested in Qingfengzhai Huarong, he lived in Kongjiazhuang for half a year.When he left, he only said that he would go to Qingfengzhai to join Huarong.The brothers of the Kong family didn't know that they went to Qingfeng Mountain, so how did they find it directly?

Song Jiang stepped forward to help Kong Liang up, and asked him, "Kong Liang, how did you get here?"

Kong Liang replied: "Master, my brother and I received a family letter from brother Song Qing in Songjiazhuang, Yuncheng County in Zhuangshang a few days ago. The sender said that brother Song Qing asked Master to go home in a hurry. We received Master I didn’t dare to delay after reading the family letter. My brother asked me to take this book and go to Qingfengzhai Huazhizhai to find Master. I found out that Master and Huazhizhai had already gone to Qingfeng Mountain on the way, so I hurried to come here This is Qingfeng Mountain."

After Kong Liang finished speaking, he went to his bag, took out the family letter, and handed it to Song Jiang in a hurry.

When Song Jiang took a look, he saw that the cover of the family book was sealed upside down, and there was no word "Ping An".Song Jiang was full of doubts in his heart, and quickly tore off the cover to take a closer look.

Song Jiang read the family book from the beginning to the middle, but only saw that it wrote: ... Father died of illness at the beginning of the first month of this year.Thousands of thousands!Nothing can go wrong!Brother Qing wept blood and served the book.

After Song Jiang read it, he screamed bitterly, and he didn't know how high or low he was. He beat his chest up and scolded himself, "I'm not filial and rebellious, and I'm doing wrong! My father is dead, and I can't do the way of a son of man. What a beast!" I went to the village with my head. He banged on the door and burst into tears.

Hua Rong and Yan Shun stood beside Song Jiang, and hugged him hastily when they saw this.Song Jiang cried so much that he passed out, and everyone hurriedly carried him into the Juyi Hall and put him on the tiger skin chair.After a while, Song Jiangfang slowly woke up.

Huarong, Yanshun and others persuaded: "Brother, don't worry. People cannot be resurrected after death, and brother must cherish himself."

Song Jiang sat in the chair in silence for a moment, then got up and said to Hua Rong and others that he wanted to rush back to Songjiazhuang, Yuncheng County in the starry night to mourn his old father.The matter of attacking Qingfengzhai can't be done together. Brothers from Laozhong's family broke Qingfengzhai and avenged him.

Huarong, Yanshun and the others advised Song Jiang not to go home until he broke Qingfengzhai.

Song Jiang said to everyone: "It's not that I'm unfeeling, but this old father is the only one who cares about me. I'm dead now, but I just rushed back in the starry night. Brothers, go to Qingfengzhai by yourself. When I go home and finish my father's business, I will come with you again." Brothers meet."

Yanshun persuaded: "Brother, since the grandpa is dead, he will not see him when he gets home. 'There are no immortal parents in the world', please be at ease, and lead our brothers to attack Qingfengzhai and kill Liu Gao with his own hands. Wouldn't it be fun for the whole family? At that time, the younger brother accompanied the elder brother to go to the funeral, it's not too late."

Song Jiang said: "I don't know now, so I can be happy with my brothers. Since heaven taught me to know, it's just like a year, and it's urgent. Brothers go to business, and I will go home overnight."

Song Jiang wanted to leave with all his heart, how could everyone stay.Hua Rong took Song Jiang's hand and said, "Brother has gone, but I don't know when we can meet again? Brothers are thinking that the small village here is not a place of long-term love. After I break the Qingfeng Village, I will definitely alarm the court. If the court sends a large army Arriving, surrounded on all sides, how to meet the enemy? I am afraid that the brothers will wander and flee in the rivers and lakes at that time, and it will be difficult to meet my brother again."

Song Jiang heard the words, thought for a while and said: "Xiao Ke has a plan, I don't know if it will win your hearts?"

Huarong, Yanshun and other heroes said: "I would like to hear a good strategy."

Song Jiangdao: "From the south there is a place called Liangshan Po, with a radius of more than [-] li, Wanzi City and Liao'er Wa in the middle. King Chao Tian gathered three to five thousand troops and horses, and lived in the water pool. Look straight at him. Why don't you pack up your troops, break through Qingfeng Village, and rush there overnight to join the gang?"

Chapter 194 Qin Ming's Embarrassment

After listening to Song Jiang's words, Hua Rong said, "Since there is this place, it is very good. Liangshan is not far from Yuncheng County where my brother lives, and brothers can often meet each other in the future. It's just that no one has introduced it, so Chao Tianwang How can you accept us?"

Song Jiang laughed, but he talked about the robbery of the "Birthday Outline" gold and silver until Liu Tang sent a letter to thank me for the gold, so he killed Yan Poxi and fled to the rivers and lakes.All the passages were told to everyone.

Yanshun was overjoyed after hearing this and said: "Hey, brother is his great benefactor. His big village will definitely allow me to join the gang. After I break Qingfeng village and rob the town, I will go to Liang Shanda stronghold."

Huarong said: "Since ancient times, it has been said: 'A snake can't do without a head.' If brother Song Jiang didn't go, how could he accept us there?"
