…

Chao Gai and Song Jiang, the old friends, will not go into details.

It was said that there was a little minion who returned to the mountain in advance to inform Wu Yong to greet Song Jiang and others.

Wu Yong didn't dare to slack off, and personally led a group of mountain leaders to go down to Erlong Mountain to greet him.

Playing the drum and flute, all the heroes rode horses and sedan chairs, crossed three passes, and came to the village.

When they arrived, Wu Yong and others worshiped Song Jiang and others with a reception wine, and after drinking, everyone went to the Juyi Hall and burned a good incense.

Chao Gai invited Song Jiang to be the master of the cottage and sit in the first place.

Where is Song Jiang willing, he said: "It is difficult for me to have a family, and it is difficult to vote for a country, but I can only rely on my brother to take him in and survive, my brother was the master of the cottage, how can I let him not be talented?" If he insisted on making such concessions, Song Jiang would rather die. ”

Chao Gai said: "How can the virtuous brother say this! If it weren't for the sea of blood that the virtuous brother had to do and save the lives of seven of us and others on the mountain, how would there be today's people? You are the benefactor of the cottage. If you don't sit, who sits? ”

Song Jiang said: "Brother Ren, in terms of age, my brother is also ten years older, if Song Jiang sits, wouldn't he be ashamed." ”

After repeatedly refusing, Chao Gai sat first, Song Jiang sat second, Wu Yong sat third, Qin Ming sat fourth, Liu Tang sat fifth, Yan Shun sat sixth, Huang Xin sat seventh, and Wang Ying sat eighth.

A total of eight leaders sat down, boasted, and ate a feast of whole meat.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of meat, Chao Gai asked: "I didn't ask Brother Xian just now, what have you brothers experienced, why are you all injured?" ”

Hearing Chao Gai ask about the injuries on their bodies, Yan wanted to say it directly.

However, Yan Shun opened his mouth, and Song Jiang, who knew how Erlong Mountain was obtained, gave Yan Shun a kick from under the table, and then wrote lightly: "There is a little misunderstanding between us and Master Li Zhai. ”

Chao Gai reacted for a moment before asking, "Which Li Zhai master?" ”

Song Jiang said: "The master of Li Zhai in Liangshanbo." ”

Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Brother Li Yan? ”

Song Jiang said: "It's him." ”

Chao Gai frowned and said, "Why did you provoke Brother Li Yan?" ”

As if the injury on his lame leg didn't exist, Song Jiang smiled: "It's just a little misunderstanding." ”

Chao Gai said suspiciously: "Brother Xian, don't lie to me." ”

Qin Ming stood up suddenly and said, "If my brother is afraid of provoking fire, let's leave!" ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Ming made a statement of departure.

Song Jiang said to Qin Ming: "Sit down!" King Chao Tianwang is not afraid of heaven and earth in his life, how can he be afraid of Lord Li Zhai? ”

After listening to Song Jiang's words, Chao Gai said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's really that we owe a lot to Brother Li Yan, Brother Gongming knows it, this cottage was given to us by Brother Li Yan, and we must not be enemies with him." ”

Song Jiang retreated and said: "If Brother Ren is worried about offending Lord Li Zhai, I will wait to find another place to avoid trouble, and I will never damage Brother Ren's righteousness." ”

After finishing speaking, Song Jiang also made a posture.

Chao Gai hurriedly pressed Song Jiang back and said, "Brother Wei just wants to be a peacemaker to resolve the contradiction between you and Brother Li Yan, not to drive you down the mountain." ”

Wu Yong, who had observed Song Jiang for a while, suddenly said loudly: "My brother often talks about the fact that there are not many heroes in the village and it is not lively enough, how can you not welcome all heroes?" Absalmo is going to misunderstand. ”

When going up the mountain, Song Jiang has already seen it, Erlong Mountain is really a treasure land that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, far from the kind of small village that can be broken by Qingfeng Cottage, and more importantly, there are three or two thousand minions on the mountain, and look at the food and clothing on the mountain, there must be no shortage of money and silver, therefore, this is definitely a good foundation that can be retreated and settled in one side to make a difference, for them who have nowhere to go, there is no better place to go than Erlong Mountain, so, how can they really leave?

After Song Jiang sat down again, he said: "There is really a little misunderstanding between us and Master Li Zhai, Master Li Zhai and Master Li Zhai's people have not hurt a single hair, I will wait...... Hey, don't say it, now that the war has been turned into a jade silk, the lord of Li Zhai personally let me wait to come to Erlongshan to join Brother Ren, and even returned the salute and horses to me. ”

Hearing Song Jiang mention that Li Yan had even returned the salute and horses to them, Chao Gai believed what Song Jiang said, and said: "Even if it is not resolved, it doesn't matter, I am close to Brother Li Yan like brothers, and I will definitely be able to resolve the grudge between you...... Put this matter aside for the time being, come on, come on, everyone eat and drink, and welcome Brother Gongming, Brother Qin Ming, Brother Yanshun, Brother Huang Xin, and Brother Wang Ying to join me in Erlongshan......"

What Chao Gai didn't know was that the grudge between Song Jiang and Li Yan, whether it was from Li Yan or Song Jiang, could not be resolved at all.

Besides, Chao Gai let the front and back of the mountain set up houses to live in, and Song Jiang and others were no problem.

On the seventh day, a little minion suddenly reported: "A man named Shi Yong said that he had something important to ask to see the second king." ”

Song Jiang is different, let that Shi Yong come to see.

Shi Yong came up the mountain and said: "The villain's surname is Shi, the name is Yong, he was originally a member of the Daimyo Mansion, and he only lives by gambling every day, and the rivers and lakes call the villain to be General Shi, because he killed a person with a punch in gambling, and fled to the village of Chai Daguanren, and heard more people in the rivers and lakes say that his brother is famous, so he went to Yuncheng County to join his brother, and when he arrived at the elder brother's village, he didn't see his brother, but he only saw Shilang, and he heard the villain talk about Chai Daguanren, but said that his brother was in the White Tiger Mountain Kong Taigong Village, because the younger brother wanted to know his brother, Shilang wrote this family letter, and the villain sent it to Kong Taigong Village, the villain first went to Kong Taigong Village, and then found Qingfeng Town, chased all the way here, heard that his brother was here to join the gang, so he came to ask to see. ”

Song Jiang took the letter with some doubts and opened it:

My father died of illness in the first month of this year, and now he is at home for funeral, waiting for his brother to come to the house for the funeral. Millions, millions, don't be mistaken! Song Qing wept blood and offered the book.

After reading it, Song Jiang cried loudly and scolded himself: "If you are not filial to your son, you will do nothing, your father will die, you can't do the way of a son, what a difference is a beast!" ”

After crying, Song Jiang got up to find Chao Gai to resign and go home to mourn.

Chao Gai and others persuaded to no avail, so they could only let Song Jiang go home.

When he returned home, Song Jiang realized that his father had not passed away, but he had made a plan because he missed him too much, and because there was an amnesty in the imperial court, he wanted to return Song Jiang's innocence.

didn't want to, but it was self-defeating, Song Jiang was caught by Zhao Neng and Zhao De, the new heads of Yuncheng County.

Fortunately, Song Jiaken was bleeding profusely, and Song Jiang also had a lot of connections in Yuncheng in the past, and everyone loved him to intercede for him, and because he had no bitter master, in the end, Song Jiang only got a "spine cane twenty, stabbed with Jiangzhou Prison City." Verdict.

The executioner also knew Song Jiang, and the Song family made a lot of money, so that Song Jiang only took a few symbolic beatings, and then he was escorted to Jiangzhou by two guards......
