Chapter 118: Li Mi Visits
Looking at the guy with a smile on his face in front of him, Cheng Yanjin resisted the urge to kick him out, barely squeezed out a little smile, and introduced this chattering annoying ghost into the courtyard. Bubble Book _ Bar _ Shou Fa rubbed his cheeks that were a little cramped, and Cheng Yanjin turned around with a somewhat numb smile to greet the next guest who arrived.
Today is the day when Cheng Yanjin held a birthday banquet for his mother, and as the chief leader of the green forest on the East Road, there was an endless stream of people who came to Cheng Mansion to congratulate him. A large part of them have neither seen nor heard of Cheng Yanjin. If it weren't for the fact that these people were all carrying valuable gifts, I was afraid that he would think that these people were here to eat and drink.
Because the guests who came far exceeded expectations, the birthday banquet that was originally planned to be held for one day had to be reluctantly extended by Cheng Yanjin for three days. Originally, Cheng Biting Jin held this birthday banquet for his mother, in order to please her old man, after all, he has been running around outside in the past few years, and he rarely has the opportunity to accompany her old man. Therefore, I want to make this opportunity to be lively, make the old lady happy, and by the way, show off in front of her old man, and see how my son can travel widely and full of friends!
It's a pity that Cheng Yanjin underestimated his influence. Originally, it was just that the identity of the former leader of the Salt Gang was a pivotal figure in Qingzhou, not to mention that Cheng Yanjin later formed a hero club, not to mention, he also served as the general leader of the heroes of the green forest on the East Road. Therefore, Cheng Biting King Kong released the news that he wanted to give his mother a birthday, and heroes and heroes from all over the country rushed to come, three religions and nine streams, and everyone had it.
When everyone arrived, when they paid their birthday greetings, these people were eight of them, and one by eight they kowtowed to the old lady who gave Cheng Yanjin, and Cheng Yanjin stood aside to answer the salute. After the birthday greetings were over, the table was set up, the stools were turned up, and all the friends drank happily. These high-rollers are all characters who can run horses on their arms, one can drink more than the other, and the rise of drinking, Cheng Yanjin also put down the wine bowl, and raised the wine jar shirtless to have fun with everyone!
It was drunk until it was getting dark and night was falling, and the many guests gradually dispersed. Cheng Yanjin shook his dizzy head and sent many guests away one by one, turned around and was about to go back to the house to sleep, but was surprised to find that there was another person in the courtyard who didn't know when he was standing there.
Cheng Yanjin was a little puzzled in his heart, the place where the guests slept was not here, why did this person stay and not leave, looking at the way he was standing, it didn't look like he had drunk too much, could it be that this guy still wanted to drink a few jars? Cheng Yanjin immediately walked over to this person, and before he could come to him, that person bowed directly to Cheng Yanjin, "Li Mi has seen Engong!" ”
Cheng Yanjin was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly walked to him in three steps and two steps to help him up, and looked carefully at it, it was Li Mi who was rescued by himself in Handan. It's just that his appearance has changed a lot now compared to the beginning, the whole person is not thin, looking at the way he dresses, even the wandering homeless people are not as good, more like beggars everywhere.
Invited Li Mi into the lobby, Cheng Yanjin looked at his thin face, and immediately asked bluntly, "Brother Fa, I haven't seen you for many days, why is my brother so down?" After you and I parted that day, where did my brother go, and how did he end up in such a field today? ”
Hearing Cheng Yanjin's inquiry, Li Mi glanced at Cheng Yanjin with some embarrassment, and then told him what happened to him one by one. Cheng Yanjin only learned that he rescued Li Mi and his party of seven people that day, and in order to avoid the pursuing officers and soldiers, after leaving the inn, they scattered and went their separate ways.
After Li Mi escaped, he went directly to Qi County, going to Changbai Mountain to join Wang Bo's righteous army. In the seventh year of the Great Cause, when today's Ziyang Guangdong conquered Goryeo, Wang Bo first raised troops to gather righteousness, and a song "Don't Die to Liaodong Lang" won the response of all the people.
Li Mi thought that Wang Bo might be able to achieve great things, and he could get ahead when he got there. Who knew that Wang Bo was short-sighted and didn't take Li Mi in his eyes at all. also sneered in front of Li Mi and said that Yang Xuangan's failure was all due to the use of a group of useless and incompetent subordinates. The implication is that Li Mi is also this useless and incompetent person.
Being ridiculed in person, how can Li Mi's arrogance be endured. Originally, he didn't think much of this Wang Bo, just because the two of them were born in heaven and earth, he was a hereditary Pushan Gong, and this Wang Bo was just a blacksmith! Being ridiculed by such people is a hundred times more embarrassing. Li Mi left Changbai Mountain in a fit of anger and fled to the house of his brother-in-law Qiu Junming, who was the commander of Yongqiu County at the time.
Qiu Junming, as an official of the imperial court, did not dare to take in his brother-in-law, but he could not betray him to the government, so he had no choice but to send Li Mi to the house of an old Xiucai surnamed Wang to hide. Although this Wang Xiucai is a scholar, he is not an old scholar who reads to death, and he can be regarded as loyal and cynical. He saw that this Li Mi was very literate, so he married his daughter to Li Mi.
However, the good times did not last long, Qiu Junming had a nephew named Qiu Huaiyi, who accidentally learned that his cousin was dating Li Mi, and in order to get a large reward from the government, he actually reported the matter to the government. As a result, this matter was quickly played in front of Yang Guang. Yang Guang looked at it, beautiful! The nephew sued his cousin, the family is in the nest, it's a good thing! This is a must-see! Yang Guang immediately ordered Qiu Huaiyi to take the edict and lead the troops to search for Li Mi and his cousin Qiu Junming.
Qiu Huaiyi commanded his soldiers to arrest his cousin and torture him, and soon asked where Li Mi was staying. immediately followed the vine and touched the melon, and surrounded Wang Xiucai's house. It just so happened that Li Mi and his wife went out that day and escaped. However, his father-in-law and brother-in-law were miserable, and they were escorted to the market by the triumphant Qiu Huaiyi to personally supervise and behead him. In desperation, Li Mi had no choice but to go incognito and flee with his wife again.
When I came to Huaiyang Village, Yuzhou, I saw that it was a good place to avoid being pursued by officers and soldiers. Li Mi found the elders in the village, and lied that he was addicted to gambling and had lost all his land and house, and his family road was broken, and he came to the door every day to collect gambling debts.
The villagers of Huaiyang are simple and simple, and they take helping people and the poor as their virtue, so Li Mi temporarily settled here. Later, in order to repay the kindness of the villagers and find something to do for himself, he simply became a teacher in the village and taught the children in the village to read and write.
However, good days always don't last long, there is a scoundrel named Liu Er in Huaiyang Village, seeing that Li Mi's wife is beautiful, and Li Mi is a weak scholar, he came to harass and tease again and again, but was always blocked by Li Mi.
This Liu Er was ruthless, and went to the county government mansion to find a team leader who smelled like him, and wanted to change the way to rectify Li Mi. Who would have thought that the head of the team had seen Li Mi's wanted portrait, but when he saw Li Mi, who had changed his name and surname, he was immediately overjoyed, and he was about to summon people from the county government to arrest Li Mi.
Li Mi's life should not be stopped, just when the team rushed back to the county government in a hurry, Liu Er had a crooked idea, wanting to use this to blackmail Li Mi and move his wife. Unexpectedly, Li Mi's wife touched her from behind and scooped a good head with a kitchen knife.
Huainan Village can't stay, even Yuzhou is very dangerous, Li Mi has no choice but to run around. Just two days ago, I heard that Cheng Yanjin from Qingzhou was going to give his mother a birthday, Li Mi moved his mind, he is now there no way to go to heaven, there is no way to enter the ground, and he even has problems with three meals a day, and he wants to find a force to take refuge, but he has no way to enter the body.
happened to hear the news of Cheng Biting Jin, Li Mi secretly thought to himself at that time, this Cheng Biting Jin was also his savior, and with such a little connection, he could also come to pull the relationship and climb the friendship. If it goes well, maybe he can even mix a bowl of rice under him. After all, Cheng Yanjin is now the general leader of the green forest on the East Road, as long as he can climb this big tree, why worry about food and clothing. So, after arranging his wife who was still in Yuzhou, Li Mi came to neighboring Qingzhou alone.
Although Li Mi successfully entered Cheng's mansion, Cheng Yanjin's current identity is extraordinary, how can he see Cheng Yanjin with his current clothes, not to mention that if he is so down-and-out if people from Changbai Mountain see it, they will inevitably laugh at it. So Li Mi took advantage of the drunkenness to quietly hide under the table, and waited for everyone to run out before standing up again.
Although Li Mi did not say some situations explicitly, Cheng Yanjin could guess it. This Li Mi is from a noble background, although he is down, he can't avoid the arrogance in his bones. With a temperament like him, where will a hero in the green forest treat him! Everyone is a character who 'has long balls and short hairs' all day long, and suddenly there is a literati who is 'who cares', and no one can stand it.
Cheng Yanjin naturally couldn't stand it, but the meaning of Li Mi's words was very clear, that is, he wanted to eat a bowl of rice with him. Looking at Li Mi's yellow-skinned appearance, Cheng Yanjin was embarrassed to refuse.
Lowering his head and pondering for a while, Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of someone, and when Cheng Yanjin raised his head and said to Li Mi, "Brother Fa, as the so-called 'great calamity does not die, there will be blessings', since the elder brother is here, the younger brother is not a hypocritical person, and the firewood, rice, oil and salt in the future will have his own junior brother to take care of." The younger brother will pass the book to Wang Bodang and ask him to send his sister-in-law! ”
"Wang Bodang? Yuzaburo? Where is he? Listening to Cheng Yanjin's words, Li Mi asked in surprise. This Wang Bodang was his student, who was captured by officers and soldiers with him, and was later rescued by Cheng Yanjin at the same time. It's just that they split up and fled at the beginning, and as a result, they lost contact. Now that he suddenly heard the news of Wang Bodang, Li Mi was naturally overjoyed!
"Haha, Brother Dharma doesn't know! That Wang Bodang is now the king of the mountains in Jiyang, Yuzhou, and is quite famous! The brother only learned about it after taking over as the head of the green forest on the east road! Now that my sister-in-law is still in Yuzhou, it is just right for Wang Bodang to send someone to send it, which can also make people feel at ease! ”
Listening to Cheng Yanjin's words, a complicated look flashed in Li Mi's eyes, "Since San Lang is in Yuzhou, then there is no need to trouble Engong!" Anyway, I haven't seen Saburo for a long time, so I just went to get together with him! ”
Li Mi said this in the middle of the bite of Jin's arms, he couldn't afford to serve this great god, and deliberately mentioned this Wang Bo to let this Li Mi go there to take refuge. After all, compared with Cheng Biting Jin, it was Wang Bodang who made Li Mi more comfortable. Therefore, Cheng Yanjin did not persuade much, but only verbally modestly said a few words.
Early the next morning, Cheng Yanjin asked people to prepare a good horse, and at the same time sent several martial arts masters to escort Li Mi all the way to Yuzhou. Since this Li Miting is acquainted, Cheng Yanjin will also be a man. When Li Mi was leaving, Cheng Biting Jin gave Li Mi a large amount of gold and silver for him to spend in the future. Li Mi, who was shy in his pocket, said a few polite words and accepted it.
It wasn't until he personally sent Li Mi out of thirty miles, and under Li Mi's repeated persuasion, Cheng Yanjin grabbed the reins and stood in place and watched Li Mi and his party gradually move away.
