The next day, Song Jiang took Zhang Gui and Peng Hu to Qingfeng Village, and when he left, he also withdrew fifty taels of gold from the treasury, saying that it was an investment, and the income would increase dozens of times in the future.

Song Jiang and the others rode straight to the north village, and the soldier standing guard at the gate of the village shouted: "Stop coming!" Is there a way to enter the village? ”

Song Jiang wondered, what the hell is Lu Yin? At this time, Wang Gui stepped forward and whispered: "Brother Song, Lu Yin is the identification document for entering Qingfeng Village, and everyone in the local people has it. If there is no guide, it is an outsider, and it must be strictly interrogated to prevent unscrupulous people from mixing in. ”

"Oh! Isn't this just an ID card? ”

Looking at Wang Gui with wide-eyed eyes, Song Jiang clearly popped out of the future generations again, so he explained in disguise: "The ID card is the popular name I gave to the road, so how can we get in without a road guide?" ”

Wang Gui said: "Money can make ghosts grind and use silver." ”

Song Jiang dismounted and walked over, took out two taels of silver and quietly handed it to the military man and said: "In Xia Nai, I know that the village flowers are honored and handed, because I was in a hurry and did not lead the way, so I troubled the military master to spread the word." ”

The soldier was overjoyed, and said in a low voice: "When you go out, who hasn't been confused, you don't have to wait, I'll go to Tongyu." ”

After a while, I saw a young officer in a white robe coming out of the village, and I saw that the officer had white teeth and red lips, a thin waist and broad shoulders, and when he saw Song Jiang, he dragged him and said, "Brother, why did you come, you want to mess with your little brother!" ”

Saying that, Song Jiang hurriedly stopped, looked left and right, and said, "Let's talk about it in the house!" ”

Hua Rong understood, got up with a smile, explained the matter in the village to his subordinates behind him, and hurriedly took Song Jiang and the others home. Song Jiang said: "Annoying the Huarong brothers to find an inn for these two brothers to live in Qingfeng Town, I have no way to guide them, I'm afraid that the inn won't let me stay." ”

"That's easy to say! Zhang Feng, take them to find an inn in the town, report my name, and let the shopkeeper entertain him. ”

Zhang Feng is an officer under him, and he brought Zhang Gui and the others without mentioning it.

Let's say that Hua Rong returned home, Yahuan came to tea, and Hua Rong asked Yahuan to call his wife Cui Shi and sister Hua Ziwei to visit Song Jiang. After a while, Yahuan helped Cui's to come in, Song Jiang saw that Cui's big belly was straight, and even called for exemption, and Cui's slightly bowed down.

Goodbye, Hua Rong saw that her sister Hua Ziwei didn't come and asked Yahuan, Yahuan said that the young lady went hunting on horseback, and Hua Rong hurriedly asked her subordinates to prepare wine and food. Song Jiang asked about Cui's pregnancy, and Hua Rong said that it had been more than five months, with the pride and desire to be a father-to-be.

The two brothers talked about the recent events while drinking tea, and Song Jiang talked about what happened all the way after killing Yan Poxi, and said that he saved Liu Gao's wife and the heroes of Qingfeng Mountain to make trouble in Baixia Town, and killed Liu Gao's nephew Liu Neng.

"It's good to kill, this guy does bad things with Liu Gao's forces on weekdays, this is deserved! Just ......"

Hua Rong frowned and said: "Liu Gao's wife shouldn't be saved, this thief's mother-in-law often instigates Liu Gao to do some things that hurt heaven and reason, so that the thieves can rob it, so as not to make waves in Qingfeng Village and harm the villagers." ”

Song Jiang said: "Isn't this difficult for brothers? Your civil and military forces are already at odds, in that case, he asked you to lead troops to attack the mountain, and you are worried about the safety of your brother, so you must throw a mouse bogey, and do not do your best. When the gap between the two of you is even bigger, Liu Gao will definitely sue you in front of the Murong Prefect, and you will cause trouble for your brother! ”

"I'm afraid of what he will do! Liu Gao, do you still have fewer small shoes for me? I don't care anymore. He was born with the heart and lungs of a mountain wolf, and no matter how good others are to him, they will bite back. He has complained a lot in front of the prefect, and I hope that the prefect will transfer me out of Qingfeng Village, so as not to be angry with him! ”

Hua Rong complained a few words and said: "Yesterday, the old thief asked me to send troops to suppress Qingfeng Mountain, I pushed it on the pretext, what did I say, it turned out that Liu Neng was killed." I thought about his retributive personality, and with his wife making a few words, he would definitely come to urge the troops in the next few days. ”

Song Jiang said: "This is okay, I urge you to agree to it, it's not a big deal, it's just that the brothers will make a scene for Liu Gao to see." After two days, you take the initiative to lead the troops, but we only defend and do not attack, you feint a few times, and retreat on the grounds that the mountain roads are difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Hua Rong smiled: "Good idea! Let Liu Gaokong like to go! ”

The two brothers talked about some things after parting while eating and drinking, and when it came to joy, the two drank more than ten glasses in a row.

Song Jiang took advantage of the harmonious atmosphere and said: "Brother Hua Rong, I have been a prisoner in the yamen for my brother for many years, and I know the rules of officialdom very well, which is nothing more than exchanging money for power and using power for personal gain. Brother, you are too upright, and you hate officialdom so much, you can't eat it in the officialdom of this world. The brother has to change his opinion of officialdom, to cater to his boss, and plan for his future! ”

Hua Rong looked at Song Jiang in confusion: "Brother knows his brother best, I hate those corrupt officials the most, they are parasites of society!" Li Taibai said, 'An Neng broke his eyebrows and bent his waist to deal with the powerful, which made me unhappy.' I'm not going to be in cahoots with these people! ”

"Brother misunderstands brother! I'm not asking you to climb higher for yourself to get up to the powerful, but by associating with them, you can do things for the people and be a clean official with deeds and responsibilities! ”

After Song Jiang finished speaking, he took a blanket and put it on the table and said: "This is fifty taels of gold, take advantage of the New Year's greetings to Murong Prefect's Mansion, go to Qingzhou Mansion to make some points, and strive to sit in the position of the leader of Qingfeng Village in the future." ”

Hua Rong hurriedly said: "I can't help it, how can I let my brother break the bank!" Besides, now that the civil and noble martial arts are light, the prefect will not let a military general be Qingfeng Zhai Zhengzhizhai! ”

Song Jiang smiled and said: "Money can make ghosts grind, and the prefect will definitely leave behind the idea of being noble and martial in the face of gold!" Even if this gold is Liu Gao's sponsorship to you, Liu Gao will obediently send it to Qingfeng Mountain in a few days, you just wait to see a good show! ”

Seeing Hua Rong's puzzled look, Song Jiang explained: "After attacking the mountain, my brother can ask for leave to go to Qingzhou Mansion to do something, I have a simple action, let Liu Gao break the wealth and let the brothers of Qingfeng Mountain have a good year by the way." But my brother doesn't have to worry about my safety, this operation is not dangerous at all. ”

"Brother, ······ this?"

Song Jiang said mysteriously: "Now keep it secret for the time being, you just need to do what I do, if the property is not enough, just say that Qingzhou Mansion must go." ”

"Then you can spend my brother's money again, and my brother will do what my brother says!"

said happily, the two of them were very happy to push the cup and change the lamp. The two of them were drinking lively, when suddenly a graceful and brisk voice ran into the house: "Brother, look at what I called for you today!" ”

In the blink of an eye, a girl dressed as a man jumped in, with dust on her face and a few pheasants and hares in her hand. When she saw someone she didn't know, she said, "There are guests!" Brother, you're busy! ”

"You crazy girl, you're out in the wild again? Why don't you come and meet Brother Song Gongming! ”

"Song Gongming!? Are you the rumored Song Jiang in time? ”

"Huh! Under is the Black Song River! ”

Hua Ziwei's words could only make Song Jiang answer like this, but Hua Rong was embarrassed, he scolded: "No big or small crazy girl, do you talk to your brother like this?" Don't hurry up and give my brother a gift! ”

Hua Ziwei knew that she was rude, so she was so busy that she stuck out her tongue and ran out with a grimace.

Hua Rong hurriedly said: "Brother, don't blame! Ziwei, this girl is spoiled by me on weekdays, she doesn't learn to be a girl, she prefers to brush guns and sticks, she doesn't look like a girl, and her marksmanship is still in the past, but archery is very accurate. ”

Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, and unconsciously thought of returning Zhu Gege, and said in his heart that she was a crazy girl, but she gave her a literary crepe name, what crape myrtle, it was clearly a little swallow. I thought so in my heart, but I didn't consciously say it in my mouth: "Ziwei? I think it's better to call it Little Swallow! ”

"How does my brother know? The little sister's name is Little Swallow! ”

Hua Rong's doubts made Song Jiang laugh, and he almost squirted out a sip of tea, and he said it casually, how could it be so accurate. I can't imagine that this girl alone occupies two Gege names, which is too ...... Coincidence!

Song Jiang smiled and said, "I saw that Ling Mei was as lively as a swallow, so I don't want to be such a coincidence." This kid is straightforward, with a boy-like personality, and brushing guns and sticks is also suitable for her. In this troubled era, learning martial arts is not a blessing, maybe the Hua family will have another tiger general, and the women will not let the eyebrows! ”

"Hahahaha...... Yes, too! Hua Rong picked up the cup and drank it all with Song Jiang.

……………………

stayed at Hua Rong's house for one night, and after breakfast the next day, Song Jiang said goodbye, where was Hua Rong willing to let Song Jiang go, and he struggled to stay.

Song Jiang hurriedly said: "I will come back in a few days, and we will get together again with the things in front of us." Now I'll go to Qingfeng Mountain to prepare, and tomorrow you will come to attack the mountain and make a look at Liu Gao. The day after tomorrow, you ask for leave to go to Qingzhou Mansion to work inside and outside, and when you come back, we will get drunk again. Oh...... By the way, I will get fifty or sixty road guides, otherwise I won't be able to go out, my name will be replaced by Messi first, and the rest will be pseudonym. ”

Hua Rong agreed, and the two brothers reluctantly waved goodbye.

Zhang Feng took Song Jiang to the inn, Song Jiang glanced at Peng Hu, and Peng Hu shook his head. Song Jiang knew that the matter had not been settled, so he took out a piece of silver and said, "You continue to live, come back as soon as possible after gaining insight into various situations!" ”

Peng Hu arched his hand and said: "Never let down my brother!" ”

Song Jiang and Zhang Gui spurred their horses and ran towards Qingfeng Mountain.
