Hua Rong heard someone ask, so he arched his hand and said, "It's down there, but I'm not a general yet." ”

The man looked at Hua Rong, nodded and said, "My little Langjun really has good eyesight, and General Hua is a real hero at a glance!" When my little Langjun heard that the general was here, he specially invited the general to come in and drink. ”

Hua Rong was stunned for a moment, looked around, made sure that he was really in the prefect's yamen, and asked, "I don't know who your little Langjun is?" Could it be the son of the prefect's family? ”

The man smiled and said, "As soon as I go, I will know that my Xiaolangjun and the prefect are waiting for the general inside." ”

Hua Rong looked at Song Jiang and said to the man, "Please also inform me, I am here to take up a post with Song Jiang and Song Gongming of Yuncheng County, if my brother doesn't go in, I can't go in." ”

The man looked at Song Jiang, nodded and said, "You are Song Jiang from Yuncheng County?" ”

Although Song Jiang didn't know who this man was, when he saw that the people around him were respectful of him, he knew that it must not be something he could offend, so he arched his hand and said, "It's down." ”

The man said to Hua Rong, "My little Langjun said that if General Hua Rong wants to bring anyone in, he will bring him in, and you can come with me." ”

Song Jiang smiled at Hua Rong and said, "I didn't expect to rely on the thin noodles of the virtuous brother, but fortunately, I went to visit the virtuous brother this time, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to meet the prefect." ”

Hua Rong sighed, "This is also the prefect's lack of knowledge, and in the future, when the prefect learns his brother's ability, he will inevitably reuse his brother." ”

Song Jiang smiled, and Hua Rong entered together, and when he arrived in the backyard, he heard a sound of silk and bamboo, and when he walked outside, he saw two teams of people standing opposite each other, one team was wearing the clothes of a servant, and the other team was dressed in black, and the man said to Hua Rong, "General Hua later." Then he went inside and said, "Return to Xiao Langjun, Hua Zhizhai brings." ”

"Haha, Xiao Langjun, what you said about our Qingzhou No. 1 God has been shot, I want to see if it's really as you said." A middle-aged man's voice came out.

"General Hua Rong's magic shot has already spread in the rivers and lakes, I heard it on the road, as the saying goes, there is no vanity under the fame, I think it will not be bad." This is a young man's voice, Song Jiang couldn't help frowning when he heard it, why is this voice so familiar?

"Let's get inside, two of you." The man came out again and said.

Hua Rong and Song Jiang entered together, only to see a few long tables set up inside, in the middle of the song and dance, behind the screen can faintly see the silk and bamboo musicians, at this time the song and dance has stopped, Hua Rong and Song Jiang looked up, only to see two people sitting above, one is wearing an official uniform, must be the prefect, and the other is wearing a brocade suit, but it is a young man.

"Jiang De? Why is he here? Song Jiang was taken aback when he saw the young man in front of him, he never expected to see Jiang De here.

Jiang De looked at Song Jiang, sneered in his heart, and then looked at Hua Rong, only to see that it was indeed a young general, with heroic hair, white teeth, red lips, and handsome eyes, two eyebrows and temples, and a thin waist and broad shoulders like an ape.

"Qingfeng Village Huarong has seen the prefect!" Hua Rong had seen the prefect of Murong and bowed at the moment.

Song Jiang also hurriedly followed, "Song Jiang of Yuncheng County has seen the prefect!" ”

The prefect of Murong ignored Song Jiang, looked at Hua Rong, and saw that it was such a young general, and he was also happy in his heart, and said to Hua Rong, "Hua Zhizhai should not be polite, this is Jiang Dejiang Xiaolangjun of the Daimyo Mansion, the official worships the captain of Yilu, and is the person who is in the emperor's heart, you can get closer to one or two in the future." ”

Hua Rong hurriedly bowed to Jiang De again, Hua Rong's official position at this time is Wuzhizhai, Zhizhai is actually not a formal official position, Qingfeng Zhai is actually not a cottage, Qingfeng is a town, called Qingfeng Town, and this Qingfeng Zhai is said to be the inspection department, that is to say, Qingfeng Zhai refers to the inspection department located in Qingfeng Town, the official position is also very low, only nine grades, probably the same level as the county lieutenant.

And Jiang De's Imperial Lieutenant Yilu is an official position from the seventh grade, several levels higher than Hua Rong.

Song Jiang heard that Jiang De was an official, and he was jealous and angry in his heart, why is the official family so short-sighted, this smiling young man is a real thief, there are thousands of soldiers and horses on Liangshan, a person who is loyal to the country like himself does not give an official, but gives such a thief a promotion, what kind of thing is this.

Of course, Jiang De didn't know Song Jiang's psychological activities, he looked at Hua Rong, took a glass of wine, walked down, and saluted Hua Rong, "I have long heard of Xiao Li Guang's majesty, and I can see it today, only to know that the rumors are true, come, I will give the general a glass." ”

Hua Rong is actually a general who can be said there, this is purely a promotion, Hua Rong hurriedly took it, drank it all, and thanked Jiang De, "Thank you for your love, the lower official has a little reputation, but I am afraid of polluting the ears of adults." ”

Jiang De sighed and said, "Where is this, I love heroes and heroes in my life, and you Hua Rong is a hero, I heard that there are some strongmen in Qingzhou who are making trouble, and they have ruined the peace of the party, and this still needs General Hua to pacify." ”

Murong Prefect saw that Jiang De valued Hua Rong so much, and couldn't help but think a little, and said to Hua Rong, "Hua Zhizhai, since Xiao Langjun values you so much, you must be a capable person, now there are many strongmen in Qingzhou, are you willing to assist the Qin system to pacify?" ”

Hua Rong also has the idea of making contributions in his heart, not to mention that in Qingfeng Village, he has been squeezed by that Wenzhizhai, and now there is a chance in front of him, of course he wants to seize it, but he still has not forgotten his good big brother, he said to Murong Prefect, "Lord Hui, Xiaguan is just a horseman's bravery, how to worry about it, if you want to pacify the strongman in Qingzhou, Xiaguan has a person to recommend, as long as the adult is willing to reuse this person, Qingzhou Taiping will be just around the corner!" ”

Murong Prefect sighed and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Hua Rong bowed to Song Jiang and said, "It is Song Jiang of Yuncheng County, Song Gongming, Xia Guan and Song Zhisi have long had a friendship, and they know that Song Zhusi is proficient in Wentao and martial arts, and he is full of heart to serve the country. ”

When the prefect of Murong saw Hua Rong say this, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied in his heart, he lifted you up, but you said that you can't do it, do you mean that I have no eyesight? He originally wanted Hua Rong to demonstrate archery skills to make a name for himself, and he would be able to command the troops in the future, but now he has no interest.

Jiang De sighed in his heart, I have to say that Hua Rong is indeed a righteous person, what is Song Jiang's identity at this time, just a small official, but Hua Rong is a real official from Jiupin, but he is willing to succumb to it, and in the original book, Hua Rong finally followed Song Jiang to commit suicide, he is a real loyal person, it is rumored that Shi Nai'an referred to Zhao Yun when he wrote him, and I don't know if it is true or not.

Jiang De looked at Song Jiang and said with a smile, "Song Zhusi, I haven't seen you for a long time, your complexion is good." ”

Song Jiang bowed and said, "Song Jiang has seen Xiao Langjun, I haven't seen him for half a year, Xiao Langjun is more and more valued by the officials, I believe that in the future, Xiao Langjun will definitely be the marquis and worship the prime minister, and protect my Great Song Dynasty territory for ten thousand years." ”

Jiang De couldn't hear a trace of sarcasm in Song Jiang's words, walked back to his position, and asked Song Jiang, "Song Abbot, aren't you in Yuncheng County as a confidant?" How did you get here? ”

After that, he didn't wait for Song Jiang to answer, but said to the prefect of Murong, "Lord Murong, this person has a relationship with me when I traveled to Yuncheng County, known as Shiyu, also known as Hu Baoyi, who likes to use gold and silver to make friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, and is very prestigious on the ground in Shandong. ”

Hua Rong heard this, his chest straightened, as if he was praising himself, but Song Jiang sighed in his heart, looked at Murong Prefect, and sure enough, he saw a trace of doubt flashing in Murong Prefect's eyes, and couldn't help but grit his teeth with hatred for Jiang De.

The prefect of Murong looked at Song Jiang a little unnaturally and said, "In this way, Song Zhusi really has some skills, and I asked you to come this time to use you, so you can use it in my mansion first." ”

If it is really reused, then this listening may be a henchman in the future, but it is also a listening use, or it can be idle.

The prefect of Murong asked people to set up a table again, and let Hua Rong and the two sit down to drink, and the banquet lasted for more than half an hour, and Jiang De excused himself to be a little tired, so it was over.

Murong Prefect sent Jiang De out of the mansion, Jiang De walked halfway, and suddenly said to Murong Prefect, "Lord Prefect, I have a word, and I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Murong Prefect said, "Please Xiao Langjun speak up." ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "My lord, then Song Jiang is a capable person, this person is good to use, Qingzhou can keep the peace, but... This person is also ambitious, if the adult does not control it well, but it may also bring disaster to Qingzhou, the kid is all he says, and please take care of it yourself. ”

Murong Prefect listened to Jiang De's words, nodded, seemed to understand something, watched Jiang De leave, shook his head, and went back to the mansion.

Jiang De came to the restaurant where he lived, and when he saw Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu, he said, "The two gentlemen have been waiting for a long time, do you know who I met in the Zhizhou Mansion?" ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled and said, "It must be that Song Jiang!" ”

Jiang De sighed and said with a smile, "I see that Mr. Xu has already gotten the news, is it from the Diting Camp?" ”

Xu Guanzhong nodded and said, "But that's the case, Song Jiang has been away from Yuncheng for ten days, and it is time to report to the prefect." ”

Zhu Wu said, "This Song Jiang I have heard people talk about in Huayin Mountain, saying that he is anxious and righteous, known as timely rain, is a hero, since the lord erected a banner in Liangshan to recruit the world's heroes, why did this person go to the near and far and ran here to go to the Qingzhou prefect?" ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled and said, "Mr. Zhu doesn't know, this Song Jiang is not a simple person, this person has the right to trick and knows strategy, he left Yuncheng County, that is, he decided that the lord would inevitably be destroyed by the government in the future, so he left." ”

Jiang De shook his head and said, "It's okay to go, otherwise I'm afraid that Liangshan will have something to do in the future, the only pity is that Huarong, I came to Qingzhou this time to come for him, but today, it seems that he has been impressed by Song Jiang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to submit to me." ”

Xu Guanzhong saw that Jiang De really liked Hua Rong, so he said, "Don't worry, the lord doesn't worry, as the saying goes, it is in the sky to make things happen, not to mention that Hua Rong is just valuing Song Jiang's righteousness now, that Murong Yanda is just an incompetent relative, he is a good hand at corrupting the law, and it is a little difficult for him to govern the place, and this person is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, with him, as long as he uses a little trick, it is not difficult to get rid of Hua Rong." Why don't you go to Qingfeng Village again, give favors, and envelop them, and you may have your own benefits in the future. ”

Jiang De nodded and said, "It's okay, I'll wait and go to Qingfeng Village first." ”

Hua Rong waited for Song Jiang to make proper arrangements, and Qingfeng Village also had official business, so he and Song Jiang left in tears, and when they arrived at Qingfeng Village, Hua Rong was surprised to find that Jiang De had been waiting for him in his house for a long time, and hurriedly entered.

As soon as Hua Rong entered the house, she saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, holding a mirror, jumping up in front of her, and said to herself, "Brother, look, this is a glass mirror!" It is said that there are not many sides of Tokyo City, so the photos are so clear! ”

Hua Rong took a look, ah, this is much clearer than the bronze mirror, look at this mirror again, small and palm can be held, there are a few gems on the silver back, as a patrol he naturally knows how much such a thing is worth, afraid that the girl will take other people's things, hurriedly asked, "Eagle sister, where did you come from?" ”

"General Hua, don't be surprised, this is my gift to Hua Xiaomei, Sister Ling is simple and cute, and this mirror just matches." A person walked over, Hua Rong saw that it was Jiang De, and the two scholars and two martial arts behind him hurriedly said, "Hua Rong has seen Xiao Langjun, I didn't know that Xiao Langjun was visiting, but it was rude." ”

Jiang De smiled and said, "General Hua, don't blame me for coming here, it's really not good to talk to the general in detail with the prefect that day, and when I returned to the residence, I felt remorseful, so I came here with a gift officially!" ”

Hua Rong saw Jiang De's sincerity, but also secretly moved, a few days later, Jiang De lived in Qingfeng Village, Hua Rong or Niu Gao practiced martial arts, or talked with Zhu Wu, or talked with Xu Guanzhong, or discussed the general trend of the world with Jiang De, only felt extremely happy, a few days later, Jiang De saw that the time was about the same, and then said goodbye to Hua Rong, Hua Rong was faintly reluctant, and could only persuade himself to see the rivers and lakes in the future.

Not to mention Jiang Dehuarong's leisurely days in Qingfeng Village, and then look at Song Jiang, Song Jiang has stayed in the Zhizhou Mansion since he met Murong Yanda that day, but he promised every day, but he didn't have anything to do, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed after a long time.

On this day, the Kong Ming brothers came into the city with gifts to see Song Jiang, and when they heard Song Jiang say that there was nothing to do now, they couldn't help laughing and said, "Why is Master confused?" This Murong prefect is a newly arrived official, and the latest thing to do now must be to gather power, and this Qingzhou soldier and horse are all listening to the soldier and horse supervisor Huang Xin and the soldier and horse to control Qin Ming, these two people are originally masters and apprentices, and they are locals, and they will definitely not become the prefect's henchmen in a short time.

Since the master is good friends with Hua Zhizhai, why not write to the prefect and ask to send troops to suppress the bandits with Hua Zhizhai, so that the prefect will be given the ladder to divide the power of Qin and Ming, and the prefect will definitely agree.

And with the talent of the master and the courage of the flower Zhizhai, those bandits must not be opponents, as long as they make contributions, why not be reused by the prefect? ”

When Song Jiang heard this, he clapped his hands and shouted, "That's exactly the reason!" Kong Ming Kong Liang, if the master really wants to lead the troops to battle, are your brothers willing to help the master? ”

Kong Liang hurriedly said, "This is what our brothers should do, where is there anything to say?" ”

Song Jiang was overjoyed in his heart, and discussed the strategy of the thief with Kong Ming and the others overnight, and handed it over the next day after writing the excerpt.
