Chapter 16 The Three Heroes of Drinking Horses
β¦
didn't let Deng Fei and Meng Kang be curious for too long, Li Yan arched his hand and said, "Under Li Yan, I have seen two brothers. β
Hearing the name of Li Yanbao, Deng Fei and Meng Kang were stunned at first, and soon Meng Kang was very excited and said to Deng Fei: "Brother, isn't this good man the supreme of Shuibo Liangshan for Tianxingdao?" β
Deng Fei suddenly realized, and then bowed to the ground and said, "May I ask if the hero is the supreme of the water and Liangshan for the heavens?" β
Ruan Xiaoqi responded to Li Yan as usual: "It's my brother!" β
Deng Fei hurriedly threw down the chain and stepped forward, and said enthusiastically: "I only hear my brother's name on weekdays, and I don't want to meet Zunyan here today, so I invite my brother to go up the mountain to get together!" β
Drinking Machuan Sanjie, although his martial arts are not high, he can indeed be regarded as a righteous man, especially the boss with an iron face, Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan is from the Confucius of the Six Cases, excellent with a knife and pen, loyal and intelligent, and unwilling, which is one of the talents that Li Yan currently lacks the most in the absence of good officials.
Moreover, Pei Xuan is not in love with power, Dai Zong casually made a move for Chao Gai and Song Jiang, he took Deng Fei and Meng Kang and all his belongings to Liangshan, and then dutifully became a military and political secretary who had no real power but only maintained the fairness of justice.
Deng Fei this person, righteous, and not in love with power, bright and fair, after Meng Kang rescued Pei Xuan, because Pei Xuan was the oldest, he gave up the position of the owner of the village of Drinking Ma Chuan to Pei Xuan, when he fought Zhujiazhuang, Deng Fei and Ma Lin, Ou Peng, Wang Ying served as the vanguard together, and rescued Ou Peng, who was injured and fell off the horse in the melee, Luan Tingyu deceived Qin Ming, and tripped over it with a stumbling horse, Deng Fei went to save it, but he was also tripped by a stumbling horse, and was captured by Zhujiazhuang. Deng Fei went to the rescue, but because Shi Baoma was fast, he was caught off guard, and was cut into two sections, Deng Fei first took the initiative to give way to Pei Xuan, and after going to Liangshan, he saved people in the battle many times, and finally died to save people, throughout Deng Fei's life, worthy of the word "hero", Deng Fei's only stain is that there is a sentence in the hymn "eating more human flesh and red eyes", often regarded as the ogre, and even considered to be "the only cannibal king in "Water Margin" that clearly indicates that the number of cannibals eating is very huge", but throughout the book, there is no record of him eating human flesh.
Meng Kang is also a man of temperament, and the most rare thing is that he not only has ingenious shipbuilding skills, but also is good at amphibious operations, which is a very rare talent.
All three of them are ideal horses.
Therefore, Li Yan did not shirk it, and smiled directly: "Then we will bother the two brothers." β
At this time, Deng Fei remembered something and said, "Brother, wait, I'll introduce a good man to my brother." β
After finishing speaking, Deng Fei invited the obese prisoner over and said: "This is an elder brother I met on the ground in this Zhixi not long ago, surnamed Pei, named Xuan, Zuguan is a native of Jingzhao Mansion, originally from Confucius in the six cases of this mansion, and he is very good at knives and pens; He is loyal and intelligent, and he is unwilling, and everyone here calls him an iron-faced face. He will also wield a gun and a stick, dance a sword and a knife, and be wise and brave. In order to remove a member of the imperial court from the arrival of the greedy prefect, he was assassinated on Salmon Island. That Shaomen Island is a hell on earth, and if Brother Pei Xuan goes, he will die nine times and live. If he does not pass by me, I will also save him, and if he passes by me, how can I let him pass? β
Li Yan arched his hand at Pei Xuan and said, "I have admired the name of Pei Xuan's brother for a long time, I can't wait to see you soon!" β
Pei Xuan hesitated for a moment before arching his hand and saying: "The supreme benefits one party, great goodness!" β
Li Yan can understand Pei Xuan, and Pei Xuan at this time should not be mentally prepared to fall into the grass.
This is also normal, after all, Pei Xuan's identity is different from others, he is an extremely upright Confucius of the Six Cases, and Li Yan and others are all people who are guilty of big crimes in his eyes.
In this regard, Li Yan not only did not have any dislike, but on the contrary, he was secretly happy, which showed that Pei Xuan had not lost his loyalty.
At that moment, Deng Fei asked the little minions to lead the horse, and invited Li Yan, Ruan Xiaoqi, Wu Song, Guanghui, Shan Shiqi, Zhu Jing, and Pei Xuan to get on the horse and go to the cottage.
When they arrived at the cottage, Deng Fei invited Li Yan and others to enter the Juyi Hall, and they all gave a salute, and humbly let Li Yan sit in front of him, followed by Pei Xuan, Ruan Xiaoqi, Wu Song, Guanghui, Shan Shiqi, Zhu Jing, Deng Fei, Meng Kang, nine good men, guests and hosts treated each other, sat down for a feast, and bragged and drank that day.
At the moment, between everyone drinking, Ruan Xiaoqi talked at the banquet that Li Yan was recruiting talents, getting acquainted with heroes from all over the world, treating people and things, being harmonious, fighting righteousness and squandering money, and many benefits. All the leaders work together, 800 miles of Liangshan Bo is so majestic, in the middle of Wanzi City, Tate'erwa, all around are vast smoke and water, there are many soldiers and horses, why worry about the officers and soldiers coming.
Deng Fei patted his thigh and said: "There are also more than 100 people in the village of the younger brother and Meng Kangxian, and there are also seven or eight cars in the wealth, and the grain and forage are not counted. β
Li Yan was overjoyed and said, "I will live up to the two virtuous brothers!" β
Everyone's rejoicing!
The wine is half drunk, and then it is removed to the broken golden pavilion in the back mountain, and the scenery of the drinking horse river is eaten and drunk, and the drink is good in the horse river.
But see:
Looking at the vast wild water, Zhou Hui faintly green mountains. A few old trees reflect the remnants of the sun, and a few colorful clouds float far away. The barren field is lonely, and there should be no children to watch the cows; Gudu is desolate, and it has to be ridiculed to drink horses. I had to be a strong man to set up a fence, and it was better for a hero to show his flag.
Li Yan looked at the mountain scenery of Yumachuan, and cheered: "Good mountains and good waters, really beautiful, how did you two get this?" β
Deng Fei said: "It turned out that a few unsuccessful guys were stationed here, and then the two of us came to take away this place. β
Everyone laughed.
Nine good men ate drunk.
Pei Xuan suddenly got up and danced his sword to help the wine!
Seeing that Pei Xuan had something on his mind, Li Yan saluted Pei Xuan with a bowl of wine alone, and then said: "It's not wrong for you to insist on loyalty, it's just that the object is wrong, if you believe me, I will work with you to create a bright future!" β
I don't know if Pei Xuan, who was already drunk at the time, remembered Li Yan's drunken words.
In short, after sending Li Yan and the others to the bottom of the mountain to say goodbye the next day, Pei Xuan went back to the village with Deng Fei and Meng Kang to pack up and set off.
A few days later, Pei Xuan, Deng Fei and Meng Kang took the handwritten letter written by Li Yan and all their belongings to the south of Jeju Prefecture to invest in Yangsan under the guise of official soldiers.
β¦β¦
Leaving Yinmachuan, Li Yan and his party continued north to Jizhou.
At this time, Jizhou was actually in the territory of Liao.
Zhu Jing gave the border guards ten taels of silver, and Li Yan and his party left the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty smoothly.
When he arrived in the territory of Liao, Zhu Jing only gave five taels of silver, and Li Yan and his party of more than a dozen people entered the territory of Liao.
It can be seen from this that the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State, especially the Liao State, have rotted to the bones, no wonder it will be destroyed in a few years!
Because it borders the Northern Song Dynasty, the customs of Jizhou are very similar to those of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Entering Jizhou City, they were walking to a street, Li Yan and his party saw a group of drums in the distance, and a welcoming team came to greet them.
On the white horse in the lead sat a good-looking groomβthe man had two eyebrows and sideburns, phoenix eyes facing the sky, pale yellow skin, and a few thin mustaches.
Listen to the people around you:
"Who is this man? Extravagant? β
"You don't know? That person Zuguan is a native of Henan, surnamed Yang, named Xiong, because he came to Jizhou with an uncle and brother to be the prefect, and lived here. After a new prefect, he recognized him, so he joined him as a prisoner in two courts, and served as the executioner of Cao Xing in the city. Because he is a good martial artist and has a slightly yellow face, everyone calls him Yang Xiong. β
"Then who did he marry?"
"The daughter of the butcher of Chengxi Pan, the woman was born on the seventh day of July, so the small character is called Qiaoyun, and she married a clerk first, who is a native of Jizhou, called Wang Zhusi, who died not long ago, and married Yang Xiong late."
ββ¦β¦β
Li Yan and the others, who were listening to Li Xiong and Pan Qiaoyun, didn't notice it, no, to be precise, they didn't see it at all, and they didn't know when there was a thin man with thick eyebrows and fresh eyes......

PS: There is a big BUGG in the Water Margin, that is, Jizhou, at this time Jizhou is actually within the rule of the Liao State, in this way, Yang Xiong in Jizhou as a prison in the two courts, this unique official position of the Northern Song Dynasty actually does not make sense, here I weaken the border defense of both sides, and impose an explanation on the grounds of bordering the Northern Song Dynasty, I hope you don't take it too seriously.
