Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 181

Li Jun couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while, so he escorted several hooligans led by Li Xiaoer up the mountain, and handed them over to the big leaders on the mountain.

The military advisor Wu Yong was the most careful, and because he spent a long time with Lin Chong on the mountain, he went out to interrogate Li Xiaoer himself.

When Li Xiaoer told how he took care of and served Lin Chong outside the prison camp in Cangzhou, how he heard that Lu Yuhou and the three conspired against Lin Chong, and how he reminded Lin Chong to be careful, Wu Yong believed that Li Xiaoer was really Lin Chong. old friend.

About Lin Chong's stay in Cangzhou, he once told Chao Gai and other leaders when he was drinking on the mountain that the officers and soldiers would never know about these things, so the person who came here should really be Li Xiaoer.

With a sigh, Wu Yong informed Li Xiaoer of Lin Chong's death.Li Xiaoer came here full of hope, when he heard that Lin Chong was dead, it was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, he was stunned.When he woke up, Li Xiaoer couldn't help feeling sad, and wept loudly in the Juyi Hall.

Chapter 266 Xiangzhou Yuefei

Seeing that Li Xiaoer was crying with sincerity, Song Jiang and Wu Yong became more and more convinced that Li Xiaoer really took refuge in Liangshan.

Chao Gai is a man of loyalty, Li Xiaoer's cries reminded him of the defeat of Lin Chong, Liu Tang and other leaders in the battle of the Invincible Army, and he couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.

Chao Gai stepped forward and took Li Xiaoer's hand, and said, "Good brother! Since you are Brother Lin's brother, you are also my brother of Liangshan heroes. Seeing that Teacher Lin is gone today, my cottage is still there! How can you There is no place for you to live without brothers? How about you stay on the mountain and be a small leader! If you have meritorious service in the future, I will also promote you to be a leader."

After hearing this, Li Xiaoer hurriedly thanked Chao Gai, and said, "Thanks to the owner of the village for taking me in, I am so grateful! The villain originally brought a gift to the village when he went up the mountain this time, but unfortunately something went wrong outside Dongping Mansion." ..."

After hearing this, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others looked at Li Xiaoer together.

Under Chao Gai's questioning, Li Xiaoer told how he met Yu Baosi, the hero of the rivers and lakes in Cangzhou, the "God of the Dangerous Way", and how he persuaded him to take more than a hundred of his men to follow him to Liangshan Dazhai. How to meet Dong Ping, the military supervisor in Dongping Mansion, and lead his men to enlist in the army.

After hearing this, Chao Gai snorted and said, "This guy is going to join the government, he's not in the same way as us! I'd rather the second brother than Yu Baosi!"

But Wu Yong smiled and said: "Brother, Li Xiaoer made a contribution to Liangshan before he went to the village!"

Chao Gai asked, "Why did the military commander say that?"

Wu Yong said with a smile: "The Dongping Mansion connects me to the south of Liangshanbo, and it will inevitably conflict with my Liangshan hero in the future. Dong Ping, the soldier and horse commander of Dongping Mansion, will definitely be our enemy in the future. Brother, I heard that Dong Ping has tens of thousands of soldiers. It takes a lot of trouble to defeat him. However, Dong Ping actually took in the Qingzhou bandit Yu Baosi as his subordinate, just like handing over the key points to you and me. At that time, brother, I will use some tricks. Don't be afraid that Dong Ping will not It was a trick. Brother Xiaoer brought Yu Baosi to Dongping Mansion, which is a credit for my cottage!"

Chao Gai laughed out loud when he heard this, and paid Li Xiaoer a reward, and made some rogues who followed Li Xiaoer up the mountain to be his subordinates.

After Wu Yong asked Li Xiaoer about their specialties, he asked Chao Gai to arrange for Li Xiaoer to run the hotel at the foot of the mountain to replace Zhu Gui, the "dry land Hulu" who died in Jiangzhou.Responsible for inquiring about news, responding to foreign heroes going up the mountain and other matters.

Song Jiang also proposed that he should recruit heroes to go up the mountain everywhere to strengthen the cottage business.

For some reason, Gongsun Sheng left Liangshanbo on the pretext of going home to visit his mother.

……

After Ximenqing made arrangements for Dongping Mansion, he left Dongping Mansion and returned to Yanggu County.

After entering the county seat, Ximenqing returned to the gate of the mansion, and before he could get off his horse, he saw a figure flashing out of the gate, sang a fat hello to him, and shouted: "Master! You are back! Brother Yun!" I've been waiting for you for two days."

Ximen Qing took a look, if the one who jumped out of the door wasn't Brother Qiao Yun, the little monkey, who else could it be?

"Brother Yun! You little monkey is finally willing to come back to see me! Have you seen your father at home?" Ximen Qing jumped off the horse, patted Brother Qiao Yun on the shoulder and asked.

"Your official, I have already met my father. Brother Yun waits for the official at this mansion during the day, and goes back to accompany my father at night. Since the official cured my father's illness, my father His energy is getting stronger and stronger, he seems to be ten years younger! My father asked me to follow the high officials for the rest of my life and repay my kindness." Brother Qiao Yun replied to Ximen Qing.

"Brother Yun, brother, as I said before, I treat you as a brother, and your father is my father, how can you be so polite? What do you mean by repaying favors or not? How about this trip, can you gain something?" Ximen Qing took Brother Qiao Yun and walked towards the mansion, asking questions as he walked.

Brother Qiao Yun smiled mysteriously, and replied in his mouth: "Master, the person you asked me to go to Xiangzhou to look for, Brother Yun found it!"

"Really? Where is that person now? What's the situation?" Ximen Qing asked impatiently.

"Reporting to the official, that person is now at Yuejiazhuang, Yonghe Township, Tangyin County, Xiangzhou. His family..." Brother Qiao Yun told Ximen Qing in detail about his experience of going west to Xiangzhou.

Ximen Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, Yue Fei Yue Pengju, I have finally found your whereabouts!

After seeing Qin Hui in Qingzhou, Ximen Qing decided to accept Yue Fei as his younger brother.Before going south to Jiangzhou, he specially arranged for Brother Qiao Yun to go west to Xiangzhou to inquire about Xiao Yuefei's whereabouts.

This time, Brother Qiao Yun successfully completed the task, returned from Xiangzhou, and brought back news about Yue Fei to Ximen Qing.

Different from the stories Ximenqing learned from Yue Pingshu, Yue Fei did not encounter floods when he was a child, his father died, and he lived in poverty with his mother.

According to the storytelling, Yue Fei was so poor that he could not even afford the pen and paper to learn how to write, so his mother-in-law could only teach Yue Fei to write on the sand with branches.In short, Yue Fei in Pingshu was a standard poor guy when he was young.

However, Yue Fei is the reincarnation of Dapeng Garuda, the uncle of Tathagata Buddha. No matter how poor and poor he started, he couldn't stop Yue Fei from being helped by the nobles all the way.

But Ximenqing was suspicious about this. As the saying goes, poor literature and rich martial arts, learning martial arts in ancient times cost more money than learning literature.

Practicing martial arts consumes a lot of energy on the body. If you can't keep up with food, you won't be able to build a good body at all.And daily injuries are unavoidable. If you don't keep valuable medicines, your body will be useless sooner or later.

In addition, martial arts training also requires equipment and venues, which is another cost of money.

So if you really want to practice martial arts well, it will cost you more money than studying literature and reading a few books.Ximen Qing has been able to practice spears and clubs since he was a child, and it is also because his father Ximenda is a local rich man and has no shortage of money.

Therefore, Yue Fei should not be as poor as in the story of Pingshu.

From Brother Qiao Yun's mouth, Ximen Qing knew that he was deceived by Pingshu.

Yue Fei's father's name was Yue He, and he was the owner of Yuejiazhuang, Yonghe Township, Tangyin County, Xiangzhou.In other words, Yue Fei's family is the landlord.

Moreover, Yue Fei's grandfather, Yao Daweng, is also a local rich man, the owner of Yaojiazhuang.Before Yue Fei's mother married Yue He, she was naturally a wealthy landlord lady.

Yue Fei's parents are rich locals, Yue Fei can be regarded as an elite in Tangyin County, and he is definitely not from a poor background.

Brother Qiao Yun said that Yue Fei was about fourteen years old. He liked to read military books since he was a child, and he was learning archery from Zhou Tong, a hero from his hometown.Because Yue Fei's parents and family are all present, and his life is carefree, it may be difficult for high officials to recruit him to Yanggu County.

Iron arm Zhou Tong? Legendary martial arts master?

Ximenqing heard that Zhou Tong was in Tangyin County, so he decided to take some time to visit this hero Zhou.

Although Xiao Yuefei can't recruit now, he can get acquainted with him first to prepare for recruiting in the future.

In addition, Ximen Qing also wanted to see if he had the opportunity to learn a few hands from Zhou Tong, the hero of Zhou, so as to improve his martial arts.

Ximenqing thought to himself, after finishing that matter, he can go west to Xiangzhou.

Chapter 267 Pan Jinlian Marries into Ximen Mansion

"Brother Yun, Tangyin County, Xiangzhou, Hebei Province is not too far from my Yanggu County, only one Kaide Mansion away, why did you delay there for so long? I went back and forth to Jiangzhou, but you No news yet? But what made you stay in Xiangzhou for a while?" Ximen Qing dragged Brother Qiao Yun into the hall and sat down, then asked Brother Qiao Yun again.

Just now when he got off his horse outside the mansion, Brother Qiao Yun had a mysterious and self-satisfied smile on his face, but he did not escape the eyes of the official Ximen Qing.Ximen Qing knew that Brother Qiao Yun must have something to say.

Sure enough, after hearing Ximen Qing's question, Brother Qiao Yun smiled, and said to Ximen Qing: "Master, I have something else to tell you, I don't know if this is a happy event. "

Ximen Qing laughed and said, "You little monkey, what are you holding back in your stomach, say it quickly, don't hold back your stomach!"

Brother Qiao Yun also laughed when he heard the words, and he said to Ximen Qing: "Senior official, after you left Yanggu County for Jiangzhou, I also left for Tangyin County, Xiangzhou. I have been running around there for more than ten years In the future, the villain heard that there was a Yuejiazhuang in Yonghe Township, Tangyin County. The villain hurriedly went outside the Yuejiazhuang to inquire, and sure enough, Mr. Yue Fei, the young man you are looking for, is in the village.

When the villain went to look for Yue Fei, he was practicing archery with several brothers.The villain felt itchy for a while, so he also asked them for a bow and shot a few arrows.Unexpectedly, he was spotted by Master Zhou Tong who was enjoying the shade under the tree next to him.Master Zhou Tong saw that the villain had a talent for archery, and he was about the same age as Yue Fei's brothers, so he took the villain as his apprentice and taught him the art of archery.

The villain thought that it would take three or two months for the officials to go to Jiangzhou for thousands of miles, so he settled in the Yuejiazhuang, and learned archery from Zhou Tong with Yue Fei and the others.Today, the villain has become a teacher and brother with Mr. Nayue Xiaolang.Because of practicing archery, I came back a little later. "

When Ximen Qing heard this, he was overwhelmed and couldn't help but praise Brother Qiao Yun.
