434, Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow to become king (19)
After listening to Hua Rong's narration, Song Jiang listened a little dazed, in addition to being surprised that even Hua Rong had such a relationship with that Zheng Linfeng, he was also shocked that Zheng Linfeng was just a poor errand man until two years ago, and he was really just a pig killer in Weizhou City, and he was probably still just a pig killer until more than two years ago!
Song Jiang actually didn't believe the rumors that he had heard before that Zheng Linfeng was originally just a pig slaughterer, why? How would a pig slaughterer have such an ungodly achievement as he does now?!
But......!
Two years, two years!
Two years ago, he was the director of Yuncheng County, and he had a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, and the title of "timely rain" had already spread all over the rivers and lakes and was admired. Two years later, if it weren't for the murder, I am afraid that I would still be just a charger, and at most I would change a few more people on the rivers and lakes who had been funded by me, and my nickname of "timely rain" would be a little louder, and nothing would have changed in essence.
But it only took two years for Zheng Linfeng to go from a pig killer he despised to a force that makes him jealous and crazy now!
If the current commander of the Liangshan Army is a relative of the emperor like Chai Jin, it would be fine, and if he took a few steps back, even if he was famous in the rivers and lakes, such as Chao Gai and Lu Junyi, he would not think much about it, but ...... Why is it that it only took two years for a pickled pig killer to achieve such a height that he looks up to?!
Don't you work hard yourself? No! Don't you have extraordinary intelligence? Neither is it! Is he worse than that Zheng Linfeng? Certainly not!
Why exactly?!
This feeling made Song Jiang very lost, made him feel like crazy, and also made him doubt the path of life he insisted on for the first time!
"That's right......!" Song Jiang suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, "Isn't it because I'm too conformist?" ”
"Yes!" This thought couldn't help but make Song Jiang's heart skip a beat, and he only felt like he had caught something! "Yes, yes, yes! It is because of the fetters of the identity of the priest and the drag of the family that he has been imprisoned in that small Yuncheng County, and all the hopes of his life are pinned on that illusory promotion opportunity! Even if he committed a murder case, he only thought about escaping, hoping that one day he could wait for the emperor's amnesty to regain his innocence, and if he was lucky, he could be that chicken rib boss, and then start waiting for that hopeless hope again!
But Zheng Linfeng can have no scruples, kill people and set fires to do whatever he wants, so he will fall behind him everywhere! And then Zheng Linfeng can start an incident based on Liangshan, why can't he do it? If that Liangshan is his own, with his own appeal in the rivers and lakes, with his own ability, his achievements will definitely not be worse than that pig slaughterer, and the current Liangshanbo, or even the current Jingxi Road, may also be his own! ”
As soon as he figured this out, Song Jiang's heart couldn't help but feel bitter, he really regretted that he had never thought of this after relying on the Liangshan treasure land for so many years, if he could have figured this out earlier, he should have accepted the invitation to go to Liangshan after committing the murder! As long as you go to Liangshan, with your own prestige, then Liangshanbo will be your own sooner or later! You can also rely on Liangshanbo to make the imperial court recruit yourself, and you can realize your ideals openly and honestly, and become an official admired by everyone!
People are like this, as long as they figure it out a little, many of them will naturally figure it out in the future, Song Jiang also began to regret another thing, he regretted that he really shouldn't have hastily refused the invitation of Chao Gai and Wu Yong and others, now although the imperial court has deployed heavy troops, the war is about to break out, but it is difficult to say whether this battle will be fought in the end, in case Zheng Linfeng and Liang Shanbo accept the conditions of the imperial court and surrender, then the leaders of Liangshanbo will be recruited, and they will all be appointed to official official positions by the imperial court......!
Ah! I really missed an opportunity for nothing! Song Jiang's intestines turned blue, and his face immediately became ugly.
Hua Rong had been secretly looking at Song Jiang's face, seeing that Song Jiang's face was sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny, she couldn't help but feel strange in her heart, and thought that Song Jiang was worried about her future future, so she hurriedly said with concern, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Brother, don't think about it too much, when you come to the little brother, you can live with peace of mind, and everything will be wrapped up in the little brother in the future! ”
Song Jiang came back to his senses at this time, and had no choice but to nod his head according to Hua Rong's meaning to cover it up, but he sighed in his heart, he had already rejected the kindness of Chao Gai and others, and now if he regretted it, even if he could pass the level where his father was, he would never be able to pull off that face and go back! An opportunity is wasted in vain.
At this time, he heard Hua Rong say again, "Brother, there is something that the younger brother wants to tell my brother." ”
Song Jiang saw that Hua Rong's expression was unusually serious, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Brother, please say something!" ”
Hua Rong said, "After my brother meets my little sister, don't mention a few words about Zheng Linfeng, especially Pang Wanchun, remember!" ”
Song Jiang was stunned, "Brother, ...... are you?" ”
Hua Rong sighed and smiled bitterly, "Don't hide it from my brother, since the last time I saw Zheng Linfeng and his party, Xiao Yu has been fascinated by the marksman Pang Wanchun, and the people who have been asking for relatives in the past two years have almost broken the door of my house, but Xiao Yu doesn't even look at it regardless of whether it is high or low, and I Hua Rong is not a person who is greedy for wealth and nobility, even if Pang Wanchun is a person who asks for food, as long as Xiao Yu likes me, I will not stop it, but now ......, with my understanding of Xiao Yu, as long as I let her know where Pang Wanchun is, Even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, she dared to go to him. I, as an elder brother, must not see her in danger, so my brother has to hide this matter for me! ”
Song Jiang suddenly realized, and thought about it carefully, if with that Pang Wanchun's ability and appearance, it would really be a good match with the flower-like jade Hua Xiaoyu, "Brother, don't worry, I will be tight-lipped." ”
Hua Rong nodded gratefully, and at this moment, he suddenly heard a pleasant laugh like a silver bell outside, "Big brother, what kind of guests are there at home?" ”
Then a woman came in from outside, and it was she who spoke.
Song Jiang looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but praise deeply, what a peerless beauty!
It turned out that the woman who came in was none other than Hua Rong's sister, Hua Xiaoyu!
Two years have passed, the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, Hua Xiaoyu's beauty is even more delicate, which makes people have a suffocating beauty, and it is no wonder that dignitaries and nobles from all over Qingzhou are so crazy to propose to Hua Rong.
It's a pity that in Hua Xiaoyu's peerless face, a faint sadness can be vaguely seen, like an ice flower falling in the iceberg snow lotus stamen, although people are more impressed by her beauty, but there is a kind of sad ...... who sees it.
Hua Xiaoyu was stunned when she saw Song Jiang, and Hua Rong smiled and said, "Xiaoyu, why don't you come and salute Brother Song?" ”
Hua Xiaoyu reacted at this time, her face turned red but she came over generously and smiled at Song Jiang and said, "Xiaoyu has seen Brother Song." ”
Song Jiang laughed, "Xiaoyu has really grown up, a few years ago, she was always called Song Jiang's black-faced brother, but now she is not called it, but it looks like she is angry." ”
Everyone laughed, Hua Xiaoyu rarely showed a shy look, and everyone talked and laughed again.
It's just that no one saw that on the roof of a house not far from the living room, a figure quietly withdrew and hid on the other side of the eaves, his breathing was so rapid, his hand that was as steady as a spar in the past trembled slightly, and his eyes were as hot as fire!
A person lying next to him couldn't help but ask in a strange whisper, "Commander, what's wrong with you?" Uncomfortable? ”
Pang Wanchun smiled reluctantly, just shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”
He poked his head out a little again, locked his gaze on the beautiful figure from afar, his eyes were full of infinite tenderness and longing, he stretched out his hand, and gently touched his chest through his clothes, where was a red silk scarf that he had treasured for the past two years.......
