Song Jiang's ancestors lived in Yuncheng County, and if they wanted to go, they couldn't just go, because they had to sell land and real estate, deal with sales, arrange people to guard their ancestral graves, and so on, and so on, which delayed a lot of time.

On the third day of Song Jiang's return to Yuncheng County, most of the affairs that should be handled have been completed, and he was directing his subordinates to pack up his things at home, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard, and when he went out, he saw a large group of Tiandao Army soldiers had come outside the courtyard, and the two leaders were Song Jiang's old friends Chao Gai and Wu Yong! It turned out that the two of them had also learned the news that Song Jiang had returned to Yuncheng County in the past few days, and this time they had made a special trip from Yanzhou and Yunzhou to see Song Jiang, accompanied by Yang Tang and others.

Song Jiang was overjoyed when he saw the two of them, and hurriedly welcomed them into his home, but as soon as Wu Yong entered the courtyard gate, he found that the courtyard was in a mess, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he asked Song Jiang what he was doing? Song Jiang sighed lightly and told the reason for the matter,

Chao Gai and Wu Yong didn't expect Song Jiang to leave as soon as he came back, so they hurriedly persuaded Song Jiang, brother, why are you leaving again when you finally come back? The court wants you, but you won't be wanted here, isn't it good to stay with your brothers?

But Song Jiang said that this was his father's decision, and he could only follow it, and everyone was helpless when they heard it.

Old friends always have to drink when they meet, everyone immediately pulled Song Jiang to the best restaurant in Yuncheng County to drink, a group of people under the escort of nearly 100 soldiers into the city, Song Jiang rode a horse between Chao Gai and Wu Yong, seeing that the two old friends in the past were so high-spirited, majestic, and then look at themselves, and their hearts can't help but have a little bitterness. When they arrived at the place, after a hearty drink, Song Jiang couldn't control his tears, everyone was surprised when they saw it, and hurriedly asked Song Jiang what was the difficulty? If there is, just open your mouth, and the brothers will definitely not be ambiguous about what they can help!

Song Jiang sighed and said sadly, "Just a year ago, our brothers were all on an equal footing, but look at it now, Brother Chao Gai is already the commander of an army with tens of thousands of horses, Brother Wu is a clever plan, and the decisive victory is a thousand miles away, even Brother Liu Tang is already a fierce general with thousands of people under his command!" Look at my Song Jiang again, this year I just fled in a hurry, sent people under the fence, did not do anything, and now I have to leave my hometown, I don't know where to float in the future, I Song Jiang ...... Alas! ”

Only then did everyone understand the reason why Song Jiang was depressed, and they all hurriedly persuaded him,

Wu Yong said, "Since what is the case, why should my brother go again?" You also know the commander-in-chief brother of our Tiandao Army, the commander-in-chief is open-minded, open-minded, and thirsty for talent, if a character like my brother is willing to follow me to see the commander-in-chief, he will be regarded as a guest by the commander-in-chief, and his future achievements will not be under the younger brother! ”

Chao Gai also said, "Yes, brother, look at me, a year ago I was just a thief who was arrested by the imperial court, but a year later, I was able to return to my hometown openly!" Why? It's because I followed the commander-in-chief! In the past year, we first destroyed Zengtou City, then destroyed the imperial army, and then swept the Jingxi Road, not only laid a large piece of land, but also welcomed us by the people, and it was called a happy one! I'm so glad I followed the Commander-in-Chief's decision in the first place! Brother, come too, when he first attacked Yuncheng County, he deliberately instructed you to treat your family well, indicating that the commander-in-chief has always had you in his heart, as long as you are willing to come, it will be a matter of time before you soar! ”

Song Jiang couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, but he still shook his head, because like his father, they both thought that the current victory of the Liangshan army was only temporary, and he came here all the way from Cangzhou, and saw along the way that the imperial court had begun to deploy troops and send generals, and stationed heavy troops on the "border", as long as the imperial court was ready, it would be a matter of time before he could launch an attack on Jingxi Road and recapture Jingxi Road, so he would not join the Liangshan Army in the face of knowing the catastrophe! Of course, he won't say his true thoughts, he still just uses Song Taigong as a shield.

Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others saw that it was useless to persuade them, so they had to give up.

After eating, Chao Gai and others had military affairs and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, and after escorting Song Jiang home, they said goodbye to Song Jiang and left, this parting I don't know when I can see each other again, everyone is a little sad, Wu Yong asked Song Jiang where he is going? But what are the plans?

Song Jiang said in his heart that these people were all true friends, and it didn't hurt to tell them, so he said, "I have a friend who is currently in Qingfeng Village, Qingzhou, and his name is Hua Rong, and he is nicknamed 'Xiao Li Guang', and I plan to go to him to live there for a while." ”

Wu Yong nodded and said, "That's good, no matter where Brother Song Jiang will be in the future, please ask Brother Song Jiang to accept this thing!" ”

After that, Wu Yong took out something from his arms and handed it to Song Jiang,

Song Jiang took it and saw that it was a bronze medal with the words "Heavenly Dao Army" written on it, and he couldn't help but wonder, "This is ......?" ”

Wu Yongdao, "This is what the commander-in-chief asked me to bring to you before I came, as long as there is this card, if my Heavenly Dao Army attacks the place where my brother settles in the future, my brother only needs to show this card to my Heavenly Dao Army, and he will definitely get the preferential treatment and protection of our Heavenly Dao Army!" That Qingzhou is only half a day's trip from Jingxi Road, and it is a matter of time before our Heavenly Dao Army attacks there, and my brother will definitely be able to use it in the future! ”

Song Jiang then understood, but he didn't think so, and said secretly, then Zheng Linfeng still wants to attack outside and continue to expand his territory? Alas, he must have been carried away by the victory, no matter how strong Liangshan is, it can't be bigger than the imperial court! You just defeated the state soldiers, and the state soldiers are nothing compared to the real main forbidden army of the imperial court, and when the imperial court sends out the forbidden army, you will know what it means to be truly powerful!

Although Song Jiang thought so in his heart, his face showed great emotion, and he accepted the bronze medal after thanking him again and again, and secretly said that he would accept it first, there is always a case in everything, and the right to be prepared! At the same time, he had a good impression of Zheng Fei in his heart, not to mention anything else, this person is really good to himself.

Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others said goodbye to Song Jiang and left Songjiazhuang.

Let's say that Wu Yong and Chao Gai said goodbye outside Yuncheng County, Chao Gai went east to Yanzhou, and Wu Yong went north back to Yunzhou.

After Wu Yong watched the figures of Chao Gai and the others gradually disappear on the main road, the expression on his face suddenly became very strange, and he muttered in a very small voice that only he could hear, "Strange...... How could the commander-in-chief guess that if Song Jiang was unwilling to join the Heavenly Dao Army, if he had to leave Yuncheng County, he would definitely go to that Hua Rong? The commander-in-chief is really a clever calculation! ”

After that, Wu Yong clapped his hands, and the sergeant next to him immediately took out a pen, a small note and a carrier pigeon.

Wu Yong just commanded softly, "Write, Qingfeng Zhai Huarong." ”

The sergeant immediately wrote these five words on a small piece of paper and tied them to a special mailbox on the pigeon's leg, and then threw the pigeon into the air, and the pigeon soon flew into the air and flew to the northeast.

Wu Yong watched the carrier pigeon fly farther and farther, and the reflection of the sunset behind him made his face appear a shadow, and he couldn't see his expression at all, and he could only hear him say in a low voice, "Song Jiang, don't blame me, I've tried my best to keep you......." ”
