Let's say that when Gu Haotian was listening, he heard two very unexpected names, which turned out to be Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong. He was stunned for a moment, how could these two people be in Zhujiazhuang's cell? I wanted to ask in detail, but when I looked at the tragic situation of these two people at the moment, it was not the time to speak. So he immediately asked Bian Xiang to arrange for the two to be cleaned up and sent to Lijiazhuang for An Daoquan to be treated.

And the people who were watching didn't know what these two characters were, and when they were speculating, they heard Gu Haotian say that these two are also famous heroes on the lake, called Desperate San Lang Shixiu and Sick Guan Suo Yang Xiong, but they fell into the Zhu family's cell for some reason.

However, Luan Tingyu remembered an incident a few days ago, saying that two men had a dispute with the guy in the Zhujia Hotel outside Dulonggang that day, and were later arrested by a team of Zhuang Ding into the village.

Gu Haotian listened to it and immediately remembered that the fuse of Liangshan Sanda Zhujiazhuang in the original book was caused by Shi Qian, Shi Xiu, and Yang Xiong stealing the rooster of Zhujia Hotel. He was a little curious, but he could only ask when the two recovered.

Unexpectedly, by the end of October, more than half of Zhujiazhuang's warehouse had been emptied. Gu Haotian was worried about the affairs in the manor, so he handed over the affairs of Zhujiazhuang to Xu Guanzhong, Zhang Jiucheng and others, and he and Lin Chong, Bian Xiang, Shi Qian, An Daoquan, Yang Zaixing, as well as the old and young of the Hu family, Luan Tingyu's mother and son, Shi Xiu, Yang Xiong and others, under the escort of the personal guards, went back to Liangshan first.

After bidding farewell to his uncle Li Ying, on October 21, Gu Haotian and his party escorted a grain team to Luhuadu on the edge of Jishui. Along the way, I happened to hear Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong talk about being arrested and imprisoned by the Zhu family.

In the first half of this year, Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong accidentally got acquainted in Cangzhou City because of a fight, and then he went home with Yang Xiong and opened a butcher shop with his father-in-law, and then Yang Xiong's wife Pan Qiaoyun and the monk Pei Ruhai had an affair. At the beginning of September, Pan Qiaoyun thought that Shi Xiu was an eyesore and instigated Yang Xiong to drive him out. Shi Xiu couldn't bear to be humiliated by his brother, but designed Yang Xiong to break through Pan's adultery, and Yang Xiong killed Pan in a fit of rage.

Later, when the two were discussing where to devote themselves, they suddenly remembered the rumor that Liangshan Manor beat the official in Shijie Village, which was widely rumored in the rivers and lakes, and thought that the little official was a respectable person, so it was better to give it a try. Unexpectedly, when I thought of this Zhujiadian in Dulong Mountain, I just coveted his two good knives, and had a conflict with Xiao Er, and was later captured by Zhujia Zhuangding, about the prison. It was also their good luck, and then there was a war between the Zhu family and Liangshan, and they had no one to care about it for a while, although they were hungry for a few days, but they managed to pick up a life.

Gu Haotian listened to the experience, but found that it was almost the same as the description in the original book, and as for the difference in time, he has now ignored it.

The group rushed all the way and arrived at Luhuadu in two days. Located at the mouth of a small tributary of Jishui, this small village has become a transshipment center for supplies from Liangshan, where the 3rd Sailor Battalion of Nguyen Xiaoqi is stationed. Gu Haotian and others handed over the grain, and asked Luan Tingyu's mother and son and An Daoquan to return to the mountain with the grain boat, Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong still needed to raise Yang also go back with the boat, only Hu Sanniang took the land route, Hu Cheng had no choice but to entrust her to Gu Haotian and accompany her father on the boat, and this also fell into Hu Sanniang's arms.

Luhua crosses to the Lijia crossing, and the fast horse is more than a day. But because there was a woman in the group, everyone did not hurry up at night, so they stayed in a market town on the way that day.

Hu Sanniang traveled between Yuncheng and Hujiazhuang in previous years, and often passed through this place, so she was more familiar. Besides, she followed Gu Haotian by land, waiting for such an opportunity, so as soon as she stayed, she took him out to play.

Gu Haotian was powerless to parry in the face of Hu Sanniang's attack, and Bian Xiang also had eyes, so he only let the guards scatter around and protect them secretly.

Let's say that where there is a market town near the river and the lake, the lively places are often along the river and the lake. This town is no exception, with restaurants, teahouses, and shops all located at the intersection of the river and the water at the west end.

After all, Hu Sanniang is a heroic woman, it is rare to be alone with the man she loves, but she is full of joy, she looks east and west on the edge of Gu Haotian, and the two walk along the street by the river, and can't help but arrive at the most lively place in the town, which is the area around the wharf. I saw a row of large and small boats in the river, several buildings of various kinds on the bank, and under the lights on both sides, the streets near the river were full of pedestrians. Under the hazy halo, Gu Haotian and Hu Sanniang were wandering on the riverbank, and their moods did not feel that there had been a subtle change. At this moment, a familiar voice came from the boat on the shore that was suddenly heard.

"On the banks of the Qingqing River, the beauties are in the side, and the sky is so comfortable!"

Gu Haotian was taken aback when he heard this, and when he looked for sound, he saw a man standing on the bow of a boat, just like a jade tree in the wind. He recognized at a glance that the person was his best friend Yan Junqing, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and he was overjoyed for a while.

"Why is Junqing here!"

"At present, Haotian, who is in a loss, still recognizes his former brothers."

Yan Junqing joked as he jumped ashore.

"This is Hu Sanniang from Hujiazhuang in Yunzhou, entrusted by his brother, and went to Yuncheng with his younger brother this time."

Gu Haotian introduced, and Hu Sanniang didn't seem to be satisfied with such a statement, so she was close to him.

"Brother doesn't need to say much, brother knows in his heart, as long as he doesn't forget about Jeju."

Yan Junqing couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, but Gu Haotian was embarrassed. It happened that Gu and Hu had not had dinner, and the three of them went to a restaurant along the street.

After sitting down in the private room and ordering wine and food, Gu Haotian asked anxiously:

"When will Brother Yan leave Beijing? Is the official position decided? ”

"After Haotian left Beijing, I waited for the official document from the Ministry of Officials in Beijing, and it was not until the end of June that I got the appointment document of Muping Zhixian. I returned to Jeju at the beginning of July, and after dealing with all the trivial things at home, I wanted to come to Yuncheng to find you, but I heard Zhu Fu's shopkeeper say that you went to Qingzhou, so you had to give up. But recently, Jeju, Haotian's name is a sensation! ”

Yan Junqing has been in Jeju recently, of course he knows what Gu Haotian is doing, so in the end, it was a pun.

"Brother Yan's career is smooth, but I can't help myself! Today is a rare meeting, and we will tell each other frankly. Brother Yan also knows that when I was in Tokyo, I had a deep grievance with Gao Yu and the Jurchens. In fact, Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Zhao Ding and others are all in my manor now, and the Jurchen mission was robbed and killed halfway, but it was actually my hand. ”

"Ahh

When Yan Junqing heard this, he couldn't help but shout, when these things happened, he was in Beijing, and there may be speculations about Xu Ning's affairs, but the matter of the Jurchen mission was never imagined to be done by Gu Haotian, and he couldn't help but accuse:

"Haotian is too much!"

"Brother Yan, don't you think that Lin Chong, Xu Ning, Zhao Ding and others are all innocent?"

"It's—it's not, but the Jurchen mission is ultimately involved in state affairs."

"Hey, hey! Brother Yan didn't know that my intention to save Lin Chong and the others was ultimately to deal with the Jurchens. The hunt for the Jurchen missions and the destruction of the alliance between the two countries were just to buy more time in order to find more like-minded people and accumulate more strength. ”

"Isn't Haotian preparing for the 'Three Kingdoms Theory'?"

At this time, Yan Junqing suddenly remembered Gu Haotianqiu's strategy, and sat there stunned for a while, he suddenly felt that in front of this young man who was several years younger, he was very immature. After a long time, he asked:

"So, Haotian Chun didn't go to the exam room, not because of something missing?"

"It's also not, in the case of Chunqiu, if I end up, I will be conspired against, but I didn't plan to participate in the imperial examination, such a court, to be honest, I don't look down on it."

Gu Haotian said in the end, but he was a little domineering, and even Hu Sanniang was deeply obsessed when he sat on the side.

"In that case, why did Haotian try to get an official position for me?"

"For you, for me, and for the Han family. Brother Yan is talented, what is lacking is experience, the ruling party can improve your ability to govern, and you can become a pillar of talent in the future. As for me, I take a fancy to this place and hope that a good brother will help me there. If I live this move, then there will be no harm to our Han family. ”

Gu Haotian said, dipping his fingers in the tea to draw a sketch of Mu Ping and the surrounding areas on the table, he pointed and said:

"There is an island off the coast of Muping, and then cross the sea to the north, with Goryeo in the east and Liaodong in the west, both of which are the rear of the Jurchens, and if they can be occupied by me, when the Jurchens go south in the future, they can be contained from behind. However, there must be a fulcrum for all this, and Mu Ping is the best choice, and of course it is best to be able to control Dengzhou. ”

Yan Junqing's gaze continued to move with Gu Haotian's fingers, but his heart had already turned over and over, he felt that this young man's mind was deep and a little terrifying, but he sincerely felt deeply impressed. Pointing out the country is nothing more than that! He sighed in his heart.

"Brother Yan is not a pedantic person, I believe that he will help me when he uses it in the future."

Gu Haotian waited for him to calm down a little, and said sincerely.

"Although I, Yan Junqing, am not an outstanding person, I still understand the national righteousness, and Haotian doesn't need to worry about this. It's just that the next pass in the imperial court, have you passed? ”

Yan Junqing listened to Gu Haotian's words, and he understood his thoughts, but he also knew that this kind of behavior would not be tolerated by the imperial court, thinking of Gu Haotian's conflict with the Jeju officers and soldiers a few days ago, he felt that there would be greater trouble in the future. He didn't know how strong Liang Shan was, so he was deeply worried about this brother.

"Brother Yan, just rest assured, if I can't even deal with this tattered court, how can I fight against the Jin people."

Gu Haotian's reply was quite domineering, this is confidence in himself and confidence in the other party.

Yan Junqing was really relieved when he heard this, and said:

"Haotian just move forward, brother, I will live up to your expectations."

Sure enough, it's not a dead reader! Gu Haotian was overjoyed in his heart, this Yan Junqing was a figure he must strive for, but he was born in the Yan family, a Confucian master, so he has always been worried that he will not be able to accept his rebellious thoughts. So Gu Haotian let it go, but at this point, he finally heard what he wanted to hear, and he was really overjoyed.

At that moment, the two poured wine and clinked glasses and drank happily. Hu Sanniang sat and listened to the two men laughing and talking about the world and pointing out the country, and couldn't help but be fascinated.

Yan Junqing saw that excellent women kept appearing around Gu Haotian, and couldn't help worrying for his cousin, so he couldn't help but knock and say:

"The covenant of Aiwan Pavilion must not be forgotten, otherwise I will not give up!"

Gu Haotian suddenly heard this and was stunned for a moment, but Sanniang was on the side, and it was difficult to explain anything, so he was embarrassed for a while.

Hu Sanniang also realized that this sentence seemed to be related to her, but it was easy to inquire, and it was not until she was with Kong Yuhan many years later that she inquired from the side to understand the reason.
