Chapter 269: Wu Erlang
Among the one hundred and eight generals in Liangshan in the Water Margin story, there are only about 20 people who are really well-known such as Song Jiang, Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, etc., and the most widely known and most brilliant experience story is naturally Wu Song, a star walker who hurts the stars for a few days.
In fact, when Sun Tu had a little contact with Toutuo, he already had some suspicions that he was making trouble in Mengzhou City, splashing blood on the Mandarin Duck Tower, and killing the entire family of the city's capital supervisors, and then disguised himself as Toutuo and fled Wu Song. It's just that no definite evidence has been found for a while, so it has not been directly broken.
But after seeing the other party's fierce killing methods, especially the performance of killing Hu Mingzong in one move, and then revealing the golden seal on his face, Sun Tu was finally convinced that his judgment was good. Now as soon as he relaxes and drinks some wine, he reveals the other party's identity without thinking.
But this made Wu Song's heart suddenly vigilant, and he got up at that time, and while retreating, his uninjured right hand had already choked and pulled out the ring knife, pointed directly at Sun Tu and said, "Who are you?" It seems that as long as he doesn't answer a word well, he has to do it.
This reaction also immediately startled the people in the town who were drinking at the same table in a panic, and their bodies trembled as they stood up and dodged. If you want to start again, your own people will be in danger, Wang Xi hurriedly persuaded him: "Sun Guanren, this hero, what are you doing here?" Don't hurt your peace because of a little misunderstanding......"
Sun Tu had already woken up at this time and knew that he was a little too casual. He is now an official of the imperial court, and it is inevitable that Wu Song, who has committed a felony of murder and fled abroad, will be wary, so he did not get up and at the same time pressed Luda, who wanted to react, and said urgently: "Second Brother Wu, don't be nervous, I have no malice towards you at all, I also heard about your appearance and martial arts from a friend, and I recognized your identity when I saw you kill the enemy before......"
Wu Song saw that he really didn't mean to get up and make a move, and his heart was slightly wider, but the knife was not put down, and his eyes were still staring at Sun Tu: "Oh? Then I want to listen, how can you recognize me as Wu Song. At this point, he no longer hid his identity.
And after hearing him report his name, Zhu Saburo and Hu Rong also changed color, and their hands quietly put on the weapons beside them. Just a few months ago, someone went on a killing spree in Mengzhou City, slaughtering dozens of people in Zhangdu's prison, and leaving behind "The murderer beats the tiger Wu Songye!" The inscription has naturally been known to the world, and in the eyes of ordinary people, Wu Song is a thug who kills people without blinking.
"I learned from Song Jiang and Song Gongming about Wu Erlang's appearance, I am from Yuncheng County with him, and I had a relationship with him in Jiangzhou before." Sun Tu looked back at Wu Song calmly, and easily explained his reasons.
When Wu Song heard him mention Song Jiang's name, the vigilance and murderous aura in his eyes were finally a little less, but the knife was still pointing: "You can recognize Wu Song with such a look just by Song Jiang's brother's description?" ”
"Wu Erlang's outfit is indeed very different from Song Gongming's description, but the momentum on your body has not changed greatly, especially the murderous aura exuded when fighting with people, which is not something ordinary people can have." After Sun Tu praised the other party, he suddenly asked: "I don't know what you have to do with my master Zhou Tong, I see that the tricks you used the knife just now are somewhat similar to what he taught." ”
Wu Song was immediately attracted by his words, his expression was even more slow, and he hurriedly said, "You...... Are you a disciple of Zhou Dong's predecessors? While speaking, his mind began to recall Sun Tu's performance when he fought with people before, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that the other party's moves were somewhat familiar, and he was really in the same vein as Zhou Dong.
Sun Tu smiled and said: "It's not a secret, the teacher under me is Zhou Dong, but I, a disciple, are not good and failed to get the true inheritance of the master, but it makes people laugh." ”
A smile finally appeared on Wu Song's face, and he immediately returned the knife into the sheath, and said: "In this way, it is really a big flood that has washed the Dragon King Temple, although I have not had the honor to worship under the disciple of Zhou seniors, but I am also fortunate to have his guidance for a period of time, so that my martial arts have made a lot of progress." Since Sun Tu was a disciple of Zhou Dong, his last worry was finally put down.
Seeing that he relaxed, Sun Tu was finally relieved, and said with a smile: "It was indeed a misunderstanding, I was a little reckless before, and I quickly revealed your identity for a while, but I forgot your current situation." Brother Wu, this is from Mengzhou? How did you get here? ”
Wu Song re-seated and smiled bitterly: "After the catastrophe in Mengzhou, I, Wu Song, have become a wanted criminal by the government, so I changed my appearance to this one." As for the purpose of my visit, it has to do with the rattling horse thieves that have been cut off today. A few days ago, I met an old man on the side of the road, and he gave me a sip of wine and told me about his tragic experience, that he had three sons and daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren, all of whom were killed by this horse thief.
"I, Wu Song, have never been favored in vain, since I drank his wine and knew what happened to him, I naturally wanted to seek justice for him. So these days, I have been inquiring about all kinds of news about the horse thieves in the Jeju Prefecture, and I was going to find an opportunity to avenge the old man, but I unexpectedly met a few Sun brothers, but it was a matter of my heart. As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and made a toast gesture to everyone.
In fact, Wu Song still concealed a detail, because after confirming Sun Tu's military attache identity, he had no intention of making a move. It wasn't until they learned that they were going to protect the people in Qingdian Town and felt for their righteousness and bravery, so they finally decided to take the risk.
And the reason why he was so ruthless to those horse thieves and never spared anyone's life under the knife was also because he had heard too many things from the local people in those days before that the horse thieves were causing trouble, and he had already had killing thoughts in his heart, especially for the leader Hu Mingzong, who hated it even more, and killed it with all his might whenever he had the opportunity.
But his explanation alone had moved Sun Tu and the others, and Luda immediately raised the wine bowl and touched it with the other party: "Okay, Brother Wu is really chivalrous, I admire the family, and have a drink." ”
When Sun Tu also raised the bowl accordingly, Zhu Sanlang and Hu Rong also drank a bowl of wine with a little hesitation. Their reaction was seen by Sun Tu, and he smiled when he saw him: "Brother Lu said this well, Wu Erlang is indeed a true hero who stands up to the sky, so I believe that there must be a reason for the incident in Mengzhou." I wonder if you can talk to us? ”
"It's a long story." Wu Song had already let down his guard at this time, so he simply told his previous experiences without concealment...... This series of ups and downs of the encounter was so direct that everyone present was amazed, and Hu Rong applauded for some things, and finally said understandingly: "Wu ...... Second Brother Wu, I originally thought you were a lawless, murderous maniac, but it seems that I misunderstood you. Although some people in Mengzhou really don't deserve to die, people are forced to do that, but they have no choice. ”
"Haha, Wu Song is deeply relieved to be able to understand Miss Hu. In fact, I did regret it afterwards, but everyone has already been killed, so what's the use of regretting it? What I can do now is to be useful and do more things for the people of the world. Wu Song said with a smile.
Sun Tu took the opportunity to look at him and asked, "I don't know what your plans are next, Second Brother Wu?" ”
"I haven't thought about this carefully, it's just wandering."
"Haven't you ever thought about settling down and getting a serious background again?" Sun Tu had a new plan at this time, and asked seductively.
Wu Song was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "This is not easy to say." I'm a felony in the court who killed officials and rebelled, so what other serious background can I have besides falling into the grass? ”
Even though he said that, there was a hint of anticipation in his tone. When Hu Rong saw it, she opened her mouth to say something, but Zhu Biao next to her kicked her face and stopped the words that came to her mouth. She glanced at the other man in some surprise, only to see him shake his head slightly. This kind of felony has a lot to do with it, and it is not something that ordinary landlords like them can take in casually, and they may bring disaster to their own family at any time.
It was Sun Tu, but at this time, he looked at Wu Song and said, "I don't know if Second Brother Wu intends to join the army?" ”
"Join the army?" Wu Song had already understood at this time: "Do you want me to go to Qingzhou with you as an officer and soldier?" I'm afraid it's a big problem, after all, I ......."
"Since I am the Qingzhou Metropolitan Supervisor, it is not difficult to insert one or two people into our army. As for your crimes, as long as you can make a contribution in the future, you can always wash them away. Moreover, the person that Second Brother Wu is afraid of should be the two lines of gold seals on his cheeks, so he will dress up like he is now, which is no longer a problem in the army. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Wu Song hurriedly asked, this already revealed his true thoughts in his heart.
Seeing this, Sun Tu was even more determined, and said with a smile: "More than half of the soldiers in the army have tattooed their heads, and Second Brother Wu is completely inconspicuous when he is in it. And with your martial arts, it should be easy to make some meritorious achievements. So I thought that going with me to Qingzhou was the best choice for you, better than being like duckweed like now, always worrying about being wanted by the government, okay? ”
When Wu Song heard this, his expression became solemn, and he kept thinking about weighing it in his heart. In fact, he has never been a person who has been willing to be obscure for a lifetime, otherwise he would not have accepted the position of the head of the county government after fighting the tiger. And now, Sun Tu can give him a chance to turn over and get rid of his crimes, which is much better than falling into the grass.
