Chapter 12 Three Conditions
Dong Ping saw that the shopkeeper was holding on to the counter, and reluctantly wanted to stand up, so he also stepped forward to take a hand with the woman.
"Ahem, thank you so much for this brother and Lord Zhu today." The shopkeeper sat on the stool panting heavily, and said with difficulty, "If it weren't for a few rescues, it is estimated that this restaurant would not be able to open, and the great favor will be repaid in the future." ”
Dong Ping just smiled and said: "Hehe, no need, although there are such corrupt officials everywhere now, there is still justice in the world."
The shopkeeper just shook his head, turned to the woman, and said, "It's me who doesn't have the ability, Cuilian, tomorrow we will pack up our belongings, sell the restaurant, and find a place to live in Narutiha."
Cuilian? Dong Ping was shocked, this woman was Jin Cuilian who was saved by Lu Zhishen? How did you happen to yourself by such a coincidence today?
So, the owner of this shop should be Zhao Yuanwai, but he is a good person outside Shanxi Province, how did he come here to open a hotel?
"Thank you." Jin Cuilian bent down slightly and said softly: "Cuilian will not forget the kindness of the two, and she will repay him for her kindness in the future."
Dong Ping said: "Okay, it's just a gesture, if you two want to go to Naruti, how about helping me get a letter?"
Zhao Yuanwai said: "Engong is sent, how dare you not obey?" What is needed, just the pipe comes. ”
"Just call me Dong Shuang in the future, you don't have to worry about this matter for now, I will give you the letter when the time comes." Dong Ping waved his hand, took out another ten taels of gold and said, "You offended those dog officials, this shop will definitely not sell, clean up and leave tonight."
"This ...... How embarrassing is this, Brother Dong's great kindness is really unforgettable, how to repay the little woman. Jin Cuilian thanked her repeatedly, but she was reluctant to take the gold nugget in Dong Ping's hand, and she didn't know where to put her hands.
"Okay, I still have something to do, and I'll talk to you in the evening." After Dong Ping finished speaking, he put the bag of broken gold on the counter casually, and walked to the second floor with Tang Bin.
Zhao Yuanwai shook his head, took the gold on the counter, and went to the inner room to pack his belongings.
Jin Cuilian watched Dong Ping's back disappear at the end of the second floor, sighed lightly, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, but her heart was full of thoughts, and she went to the inner room after a while.
"A few of you asked Zhu to wait for a long time."
As soon as Dong Ping and Tang Bin entered the door, they heard Zhu Wu's laughter.
"Hehe, where is the sir." Dong Ping sat down, Tang Bin signaled, and went to the place near the door. "I think Sir should be the most anxious person right now."
Zhu Wu saw that Dong Ping's words were extraordinary, and a trace of strangeness welled up in his heart, and he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "In my opinion, I am afraid that you have another purpose for coming to Gaotang."
"Sir, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Dong Ping picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said indifferently: "I only like to communicate with smart people, and I don't have much interest in people who beat around the bush."
Tang Bin on the side heard that Zhu Wu's tone was wrong, and there was a bit of murderous intent in his eyes, his body moved slightly to the table, and his hand was already slowly stretched out to the dagger on his waist.
Zhu Wu raised his head, squinted at Dong Ping and Tang Bin, tapped his fingers on the table, and didn't say a word for a long time, which made Dong Ping feel uneasy.
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." After the three of them confronted each other for a long time, Zhu Wu finally spoke slowly, "If my guess is correct, should Your Excellency be an officer, or from a nearby state or county?" ”
A cold light flashed in Tang Bin's eyes, and he was about to pull out his dagger and step forward, but Dong Ping held down his right arm and had to retreat.
"Hehe, Mr. said he was smiling." Dong Ping pointed at Tang Bin with a smile on his face, "We are just businessmen from Cangzhou, and we are just doing some small business here, but we are not military officers." ”
Zhu Wu shook his head: "Your Excellency is too confident, what businessman would have such thick calluses on his hands?" Moreover, I have been here for less than three months, and if it were not for the officers of the nearby state capital, how would I know my identity? ”
Dong Ping stared at Zhu Wu's face, the atmosphere fell silent for a while, the three of them didn't say a word, and almost all the needles in the room could be heard.
I don't know how long it took before Dong Ping laughed and said: "Mr. guessed right, he is worthy of being a famous Divine Machine Strategist, but Mr. doesn't want to understand, why did I sneak here?"
"I'm not that interested." A trace of anger crossed Zhu Wu's eyes, which quickly dissipated again, and he just sneered: "However, you just broke into the city like this, and you are not afraid that you will be arrested as Liangshan Xiaozuo?"
Zhu Wu originally thought that Dong Ping would be furious, and even turned his face directly, but Dong Ping just smiled and shook his head, but his tone suddenly became serious: "If everyone is afraid of death, then who else in this Great Song Dynasty can resist the ravages of foreign invaders!" The people of the world, who can live a peaceful life! ”
After listening to Dong Ping's words, Zhu Wu's heart was shocked, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and then his tone trembled: "This general has extraordinary words, and he has a request below, I don't know if I can agree to it?"
Dong Ping saw that Zhu Wu's tone had changed, so he simply didn't do anything, knelt down directly, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "I can't hide it, I am the commander of the soldiers and horses of Dongping Mansion, and Dong Ping, the two-gun general, now the court of the world is corrupt, and the Quartet of Liaojin and Western Xia is eyeing the tiger, I really can't bear to watch the country turmoil so far, and I hope that Mr. can help me and help the dynasty to save the people!"
"This ...... Brother Dong, please get up first. Zhu Wu was shocked when he saw Dong Ping so gifted, and after reacting, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Dong Ping: "If Brother Dong is willing, how about listening to me first?"
"This is natural." Dong Ping stood up, "I have long heard that Mr. and Shi Jin, the famous nine-patterned dragon on the rivers and lakes, gathered in Shaohua Mountain, Shaanxi, and I don't know why they came to Shandong to work for this corrupt official?" ”
Zhu Wu smiled bitterly: "This matter is a long story, the four of us brothers originally fell into the grass in Shaohua Mountain, and later heard that the eldest brother of the Shi Jin brothers, Lu Zhishen, who is known as the flower monk in the rivers and lakes, gathered in Erlong Mountain, so we dismissed most of the minions on the mountain and came to Shandong."
"I don't want to meet Gao Lian on the way, Shi Jin brothers and Chen Da Yang Chun two brothers were captured by the officers and soldiers, I had no choice but to bring people to surrender, half a month ago Liang Shanbo came to attack the city, Gao Lian used me as a soldier and horse supervisor, I used a plan to defeat those people several times."
So that's the case, Gao Lian has this Zhu Wu as a military division, no wonder he can turn Song Jiang around, and even the retreating army does not dare to attack!
However, this Zhu Wu obviously has a great complaint against Gao Lian, as long as he uses some routines today, he can accept this divine machine military division! Dong Ping thought in his heart.
"So, now let's talk about what happened to you just now, Brother Dong." Zhu Wu sat up straight, with a hint of a smile on his face: "I can promise you, no one is a strong man who is bent on falling into the grass, and it is naturally the best to be an official, but I have three conditions."
"Sir, please." Dong Ping picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for the two of them, took a sip of himself, and then said slowly: "Listen to me."
As long as Zhu Wukou's style changes, it will be easy to do, he has watched the Water Margin for so many years, and Song Jiang has long been familiar with the trick of surrendering, will it still fail?
This time, no matter what the price is, you must take down this military division!
