Chapter 46: The Water Margin

It was a very large hall, with a long rectangular table made of several wooden planks in the middle of the hall and benches scattered around it.

Directly above the hall is a Taishi chair, and next to the Taishi chair stands a small flag, on which are written four big characters for Tianxingdao.

Although banned by the Manchu government several times, the Water Margin is still a 'divine book' at the moment, and wherever there are Chinese characters, he has fans.

You can't help it! Because those Manchurian aristocrats themselves liked to read such books.

He Xiwen was also obviously affected by the Water Margin, even if he had run to the South China Sea thousands of miles away, he was still flaunting the way for heaven!

However, Ye Kai is not sure, those Guangnan people and Zhenla slaves who don't know the meaning of these four words at all can understand the meaning of this flag!

Seeing that Ye Kai had been looking at this flag for the way of heaven, He Xiwen was a little embarrassed.

"It really makes Young Master Ye laugh, a rough person like me has no culture, so I like to listen to the story of a Liangshan hero who walks for the sky, so I asked someone to embroider such a flag!"

"Master He has a benevolent heart, and even more benevolent and righteous deeds, you can afford these four words!"

Ye Kai didn't hesitate to offer it, he didn't believe that He Xiwen had no culture, and a slanted leader who preached the birth of Maitreya everywhere would have no culture?

Hehe, can you read the obscure classics of the White Lotus Sect if you can't read? What can he do to preach his teachings if he is illiterate?

Although this guy looks like a fierce flyer, he is actually not so 'reckless' as he seems!

"Don't dare to be! Don't dare to be, Young Master Ye praised it falsely! He Xiwen waved his hands and motioned for Ye Kai to take a seat by the way.

A few pirate minions came over with huge clay bowls and several large jars of wine, while others brought countless colorful tropical fruits to the table, and the sound of slaughtering pigs and sheep could be heard outside!

"Hall Master He, don't let me open what Young Master Ye, you are an elder in the sect, and you are the master of the hall, you can just call me Shuwu!" Ye Kai, who had just sat down, spoke.

"That's good! Ye Shao... Shu Wu, don't call me Hall Master He, since they are all brothers in the door, you can just call me Brother He! ”

He Xiwen also put on a posture of not having a fight, he didn't even ask Ye Kai's mouth, and he regarded Ye Kai as his own brother in his mouth.

"That Shu Wu is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, I think this Kunlun Island is dominantly on the sea, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Brother He's subordinates are also fierce generals, but my brother wants to emulate that Hei San Lang Song Gongming, and be free in this Shuibo Liangshan?"

"Brother Shuwu really looks up to my brother and me, I, a million people, how can I compare to Shuibo Liangshan, people are in the lower realm, I am mortals, but I am just asking for food and clothing!" He Xiwen hurriedly waved his hand.

"What's more, for the sake of his own glory and wealth, Song Gongming lost so many Liangshan heroes in his life, and in the end, even Li Kui, who was loyal to him, was killed, he was not a hero! It's not someone like us and the Hongmen brothers should emulate! ”

Both sides meant something in their words, and Ye Kai let out a long laugh, "The people in the rivers and lakes say that Brother He is the most affectionate, and it is true, but the younger brother and Brother He have slightly different views!" ”

"Oh?" He Xiwen pretended to be puzzled, "So, brother, I want to listen to Brother Shuwu's opinion?" ”

"Everyone in the world says that Song Gongming is greedy for profit, but the younger brother doesn't see it that way, Song Gongming may indeed be greedy for wealth and nobility, but he is not just for himself.

The reason why he wants to recruit peace in every possible way is just to find a way out for his brothers.

Even if the heroes of Liangshan are indeed powerful, what about their descendants? Do you want your children and grandchildren to bear the reputation of a thief?

How can a leader not be prepared for a rainy day? One word can decide the life and death of ten thousand people, which is both power and responsibility! ”

Ye Kai finished speaking earnestly, and then looked at He Xiwen with burning eyes.

One word can decide the life and death of ten thousand people, which is both power and responsibility, and the sentence deeply hit He Xiwen's heart.

It was because he felt that Mo Guanfu and others had no ambition and were bloodthirsty and indiscriminate, so he insisted on breaking away from the South China group of thieves regardless of the danger, in order to find a place for him, a brother with ten thousand brothers!

"What a rainy day, I think it's just using the blood of the brothers to dye his red robe, obviously the old man of the Zhao family is using the heroes of Liangshan as a gunman, can't Hei Saburo see it, saying that he is looking for a way, you see that the heroes of Liangshan have become rich? How many people have had a good death? ”

He Xiwen frowned and was thinking deeply, but a questioning voice sounded loudly, Ye Kai looked up and saw that it was a young man who looked very fair among the pirates.

"Haven't asked yet?" Ye Kai stood up and arched his hand.

"Under the throne is Liang Wenying, the left pioneer under the main seat of He Hall!" The young man arched his hand casually, but his eyes were not convinced.

Liang Wenying, Ye Kai recalled in his mind that this guy was the closest person to He Xiwen's subordinates, and it was said that he was He Xiwen's brother-in-law, and he was the one who went to Bangkok to defect to Ruan Phuc Ying on behalf of He Xiwen in history.

"What Brother Liang said also has some truth, but it is a little biased, Brother Liang might as well think about it, what did Song Gongming rely on to gain a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty? Recruit his Taiwei Chen? Master Li? ”

Ye Kai smiled slightly, didn't wait for Liang Wenying to answer, and continued to talk to himself.

"Neither! Song Gongming can only rely on him Shuibo Liangshan, a hundred or so brothers, if the brothers on Liangshan are all damaged, can he still keep the glory and wealth?

As written in the book, in the end, after the Liangshan generals scattered, all Song Gongming could get was a glass of poisonous wine, and he was also forced by the form, and there was no way! ”

"Then you say it, it doesn't mean that you didn't say it, what is the back road, it sounds good, the back road is not seen, but there is one Huangquan Road!"

Liang Wenying waved his hands straight, his head shook like a rattle, and the small righteous hall suddenly burst into laughter!

"Wen Ying, Brother Shuwu is a guest from afar, how can you be so frivolous!" He Xiwen also stood up and scolded pretendingly.

Liang Wenying didn't say anything yet, but Ye Kai waved his hand, "Brother He, don't blame Brother Liang for talking like this, this court matter is treacherous, it is not easy for him to see this!" ”

Before the words fell, Liang Wenying's eyes were horizontal, "Ye Shuwu, what do you mean by that?" Don't think that you have read a few books, Lao Tzu's father is a child, Lao Tzu has also been studying since childhood, today you can't tell a reason, don't look at your martial arts, I will not rest with you! ”

Ye Kai met Liang Wenying's eyes without hesitation, "Then I might as well tell Brother Liang that this Song Gongming is so miserable in the end, just because he himself can't judge the situation, and he doesn't know that defecting is not selling himself, and recruiting an is not the reason to hand over power."

The emperor of the Zhao family just gave him a few empty promises, so he hurriedly left his lair, there was not much money and food, the back road was also cut off, and life and death were pinched in the hands of others, how could it not be miserable?

If I accept Zhao'an, I will never leave Shuibo Liangshan, no matter whether Zhao Guanjia transfers me north to resist Liao, or go south to defeat Fang La, send three or five generals, and lead tens of thousands of soldiers, how can there be a reason for the whole army to press and not leave a back hand to do a hammer deal?

But if his mind is a little clearer, how can Liangshan's hundred generals and 100,000 elites be so miserable? ”

Defection is not selling oneself, recruiting an is not handing over power, He Xiwen began to whisper softly again, looking very uneasy!
