Fang La's daughter Fang Jinzhi listened to her father's question, but she didn't see the slightest bit of shame in her daughter's family, but raised her head and said, "Daddy, didn't you also say that Chai Jin is unconventional, knowledgeable and polite, and his words are very pleasing when he talks with you?" Most of the leaders in our sect are rough men who are used to shouting and shouting, and most of them are not at all incomprehensible, and they are brothers and sisters, but I feel uncomfortable at the thought of choosing a partner to give to the child.

If you talk about a few henchmen who often follow Xiao Tang, the one surnamed Xu is angry and angry, and Sha Mo is a literary crepe who often loves to drop his bookbag; The one called Xiao Jiasui also made a fool of himself, as if he was amazing; There is also the one who was called Xiao Yi by Xiao Tang, and I am afraid that his appearance is not also a wandering prodigal who is used to wandering, although he is handsome, I still can't look down on him; Only Na Chai Jin I saw that he was both civil and military, and it seemed that he was also a person who knew people's warmth and coldness, and he naturally liked it a little bit in his heart. ”

Fang La couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, he also knew that his daughter and the brothers in the church were used to mixing with the green forests and grasses in the south of the Yangtze River, not only did he develop a temperament that dared to love and hate, although he could get along with those rough ocean thieves in the green forest thieves, but he had seen a lot, and he would never look down on most of the reckless and straight men who shouted that brothers were like siblings and women were like clothes, but his daughter Fang Jinzhi was partial to his life and looked down on those weak scholars who were sour and rotten. However, Chai Jin was born rich and noble, and because he was a good man in the rivers and lakes, he was very good at dealing with people in the green forest, and he talked extraordinarily, so it was not surprising that his children would take a fancy to him.

"Men should get married, women should get married... My son's marriage is a big deal, and my father naturally wants to make decisions for you......"

Fang La said warmly to Fang Jinzhi, but secretly thought in his heart that if Xiao Tang's side really couldn't resist the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court's officials and troops, assuming that he would really come to seek his own protection one day, he would rush to him because he had the ability to gather the heroes of the rivers and lakes and be good at winning people's hearts, but he was afraid that he would not be willing to be sincerely obedient to himself, and he would also find an opportunity to get rid of that Xiao Tang, but those capable people under his command... Especially that Chai Jin is a descendant of the Chai family of the Zhou Dynasty, although he is only the dragon son of the Chai family who was forced to abdicate when Zhao Kuangyin, the founding ancestor of the Song Dynasty, launched the Chen Qiaoyi Mutiny to bully the orphans and widows, but if he can be won over, he will defect to Manichaeism...... He may also be able to use his status to make a big deal against the imperial court.

However, now my Manichaeism has only taken down the three military states in the south of the Yangtze River, and has not yet achieved hegemony, and the general situation is that Xiao Tang is about to gather several green forest soldiers and horses in the north to fight against the imperial court, and because of the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, it is inconvenient to encircle Na Chai Jin to test whether he has the intention of submitting to my sect......

Thinking about it in his heart, Fang La then said to Fang Jinzhi again: "It's just that now that my great cause of teaching has not been completed, this matter must not be rushed, just because of this, I went to find that Xiao Tang to discuss, but it seems that my Manichaeism is inferior, and when my sect first lays down this half of the country, the momentum is far more than the several soldiers and horses gathered by Xiao Tang, and see how the firewood will react when he comes back, and then it will also depend on whether he knows how to raise it......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Let's say that Xiao Tang led a group of men and horses to the northeast on the road, and the path was also along the way with the vanguard troops and horses of the Manichaean army to conquer Suzhou. Now the rebel armies in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River have been provoked by Manichaeism and have risen up one after another, and the officials and troops in various places have not been able to resist the enemy, and those who have gathered everywhere can only meet the chaotic people with all kinds of weapons in their hands, and almost all the officers and soldiers have either fled in all directions, or have to retreat and defend themselves, and there are no forbidden officers and soldiers in the wilderness.

During this period, Pang Wanchun led the soldiers and horses of Ji Ji, Lei Jiong and Baiyun Mountain, and Shi Bao led the soldiers and horses of Jingde, Bai Qin and Wuyishan also said goodbye to Xiao Tang successively, and went to the local cottage according to the path. In addition to the large number of people who are willing to adhere to Manichaeism, I am afraid that there are still many Li people who will be robbed by soldiers and bandits, and the two cottages located in Jiangnan will continue to shelter and settle down when there is no livelihood to find.

When a group of people and horses were already faintly able to see the city of Suzhou from afar, Xiao Tang saw that the city was surrounded by water ports, especially the lakes next to the city, but they saw that scenery: the sky is connected to the distant water, and the water is connected to the distant sky. The high and low water shadows are dust-free, and the sky is full of light. Twin wild herons flew in, broke the blue glass, two by two light gulls and herons, rushed away the green jade, and also served a good water with intoxicating scenery.

"Xiao Renxia, from here to the east into the Xiuzhou boundary, and then through Xushan, Jiashan and other places, you can reach the coast, there are only a few salt divisions, the officers and soldiers guarding the Rong are afraid that most of them have been frightened, and they want to come to the enemy of your troops and horses, and they will not stop Xiao Renxia from taking the waterway to the north and returning to Jingdong Road...... We have been ordered to settle down here, and there are also brothers from the church who have risen up together in the military states such as Hu and Chang to attack Suzhou, and the military affairs are important, so we can't send Xiao Renxia and your heroes far away, and I hope to forgive me. ”

Fang Qifo still said politely to Xiao Tang with a seemingly kind smile on his face, but the more polite and modest he was, the more Xiao Tang felt that he couldn't see the details of the other party, and just exchanged greetings with Fang Qifo again, and then watched him and the Manichaean leaders under his command who had different attitudes towards their own people and horses lead the troops and people under his command to continue in the direction of Suzhou City......

And when Xiao Tang led a group of brothers to rectify a little, Zhang Shun, Zhang Rong, Ruan's Sanxiong, Zhejiang Silong and other sailors looked at the incomparably beautiful and indescribable scenery of the big lake in front of them, and they couldn't help but want to jump into the lake and have a good time in the good water of this lake. Among them, the little white dragon Zhang Rong is even more juvenile, simply took off his shirt, shirtless and barefoot, jumped into the lake with a fierce slap, with a "poof" wave splashing, Zhang Rong's body scurried in the water, and suddenly seemed to go directly to the bottom of the lake.

On the shore of the lake, Chong Bo Long Qiao Zheng said: "This Suzhou Taihu Lake, known as Zhenze in ancient times, also known as Kaze, the river port is vertical and horizontal, the estuaries are numerous and span Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it is also a famous lake and good water in the southeast border. The younger brother and Cheng Gui, Zhai Yuan, Xie Fu brothers have been on the Qiantang River for a long time, and they have also traveled here when they have a chance. ”

This is one of the five major freshwater lakes in China in later generations, according to the original historical trajectory due to the invasion of the Jin Kingdom, the political and economic center of the Song Dynasty shifted to the south, and the Taihu Lake in southern Jiangsu irrigated a large area of arable land, and the two granaries of the Taihu Lake basin are also the two military states of Su and Lake, so from the Southern Song Dynasty onwards, there is a proverb that "Suhu Lake (Taihu Lake area) is ripe, the world is full", and Xiao Tang naturally knows these things.

However, at this time, listening to Qiao Zhengyan and Suzhou Taihu Lake, Xiao Tang's face moved, and he suddenly remembered another thing. After thinking for a while, Xiao Tang suddenly spoke again: "Although Manichaeism has attracted many Jiangyang thieves and green forest bandits to join the Jiangnan lands, and they are dedicated to rebellion, there is an exception to everything, except for Pang Wanchun, Shi Bao and other brothers who gather righteousness with me, of course, there are also some people from the green forest who are from Jiangnan who do not plan to defect to Manichaeism, since we are here to pass by, there is also something to do......

Cheng Gui, Xie Fu, Zhai Yuan, and Qiao Zheng are collectively known as the Four Dragons of Zhejiang, and some famous Qiang Kou in the Qiantang River and even in the surrounding areas have naturally heard of it somewhat, and among them, Zhai Yuan, the brocade scale dragon, listened to Xiao Tang's deep voice, and he suddenly remembered that the four of them went north to the Zhuang courtyard of the Daimyo Mansion Yu Jiatuan, and after deciding to worship Xiao Tang and gather together for righteousness, his brother had discussed with him, so he immediately asked Xiao Tang: "Brother said that Sha Mo is going to find those four people?" ”
