Let's say that between the conversation between Gu Haotian and Xu Guanzhong, Dr. Gao's medicine has been decocted, and after Xu's mother took it, her condition was slowly relieved after a while. Dr. Gao suggested that he stay in the Rejuvenation Hall for one night to observe, and Xu Guanzhong naturally had nothing to say.

Gu Haotian saw that he was a lone man, and it was very inconvenient to take care of the woman, so he asked Pan Jinlian to go home and call a careful maid to come and wait, Xu Guanzhong couldn't shirk it, so he had to thank him.

"The mother doesn't seem to be in good health, why does Mr. go out on a cold day?"

Gu Haotian was puzzled by this kind of too coincidental thing, so he took the opportunity to bring up the old words again.

"Alas, it's all a mistake for fame and fortune. This spring, the court literature and martial arts have taken scholars, although they know that there is no hope, but the old mother urged again and again, and they are also unwilling, so they are ready to go to Beijing to try, but let the old mother be at home alone and not at ease, so the two of them left early a year ago, but after all, they were led to the manor by a song "Farewell" by the little official. ”

When Xu Guanzhong said this, he couldn't help but smile.

It turned out that he was going to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination, Gu Haotian suddenly remembered a record of Xu Guanzhong in "Water Margin", "And during the Zhenghe period, it seems that he should be promoted and got the name of a martial champion." "During the period of Zhenghe in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was 1111-1117, and this year happened to be 1112, could it be that in this Zhou Dynasty, he could also get any martial champions, Gu Haotian speculated in his heart. I secretly thought that since this Xu Guanzhong had won the martial champion, he must have some expectations for the court, but he didn't know what his attitude towards the court was. So he said tentatively:

"It's not a good work, Mr. smiled, but it also reminded me of Xu Zhixian, such a rare good official, who spent his whole life in the officialdom of the Great Zhou, but in the end he couldn't even stay at ease in the position of a seven-grade county order, which couldn't help but make people disappointed in the imperial examination."

"Isn't it a good thing that Lord Xu was transferred to Beijing?"

"I'm afraid it's not very good, although he didn't say everything to me, but he can sense it or two."

"There is such a thing, that little official is the top three in Jeju Autumn last year, but this year's Spring Festival is going to go?"

This Xu Guanzhong also knows Gu Haotian very well, but now he first asked Gu Haotian's attitude towards the imperial examination.

"I must be going to the capital, but I don't have to participate in that spring."

"And why?"

"It's really desperate for the officialdom of the Great Zhou, but Tokyo is a big city in the world, a place where talents are focused, and it's good to go and see the excitement and see the world."

The two were talking, but saw Pan Jinlian come in with a maid and Wen Huanzhang and Xiao Jiasui.

"Why did Master and Mr. Xiao come here?"

"When we saw that you sent the patient over, and didn't come back for a long time, we happened to see Jin Lian, saying that you were talking to a celebrity here, and we were curious and came over together."

Wen Huanzhang spoke, but looked at Xu Guanzhong.

"This is Mr. Xu Guanzhong, a famous man from the Daimyo Mansion."

Gu Haotian hurriedly got up and introduced, and then turned around and introduced the two who came in to Xu Guanzhong.

"It turned out to be Mr. Wen from Jingdong Anren Village and Xiao Liusui, the descendant of Xiao Rashi!"

Xu Guanzhong listened to Gu Haotian's introduction, and was also surprised, how could he not know the names of these two people after a long time, and he didn't expect that they were all in this small manor, and they were busy standing up to salute the two.

"I haven't learned the junior Xu Guanzhong, I don't know that the two sages are here, rude, rude."

"When you meet for the first time, how can you say that it is rude."

Wen Huanzhang stepped forward to help him up, looked at him carefully, and secretly praised him in his heart, but he was an outstanding person, he was a disciple, and he was a lucky person, he went to Huaishui to get back a Xiao Jiasui a few days ago, this Xu Guanzhong is now uninvited, and he has to try to keep him.

Let's say that Gu Haotian saw the speculation that the three of them were talking about in the medicine hall, but his heart was sudden, the three wise men who appeared in "Water Margin" were now gathered in the small rejuvenation hall on Liangshan, he always felt a little unreal, but the reality was clearly in front of him, and he felt that he should seize this opportunity. So he groaned for a while and said to Xu Guanzhong:

"The mother of the world is now in stable health, and there is a maid to take care of her, there is no need to worry, this is not a place to talk for a long time, it is better to go to Liangshan Restaurant to sit together, and also give the next opportunity to be the east."

"Since Haotian is a treat, everyone doesn't need to be polite, I don't know that Guan Zhong has tasted that food, but it is not inferior to any place in the world."

"I have been in the mountains for a few days, but I have often heard of it, but I have never tasted it."

"That's just right, we also trust Guan Zhong's blessing and spend him well."

Xu Guanzhong saw that what Huanzhang said was interesting, and the two of them were the people he respected, and said that his mother was fine, so he agreed. So a few people went inside to meet with Xu's mother, and after a few words of comfort, they went out to Liangshan Restaurant.

"In the last year with Zhou Dong, when I first arrived in Gujiazhuang, I was captured by that kid with a delicious meal, and then the two had to sell themselves to the Gu family and teach this kid to read and practice martial arts, and now I can't stop it."

Along the way, Wen Huanzhang said interesting things at the beginning, but Xu Guanzhong was secretly frightened when he heard it. Xiao Xi Jiasui was surprised when he saw it, and he knew what he was thinking, so he said:

"Brother Guan Zhong sighed at the fate of the petty officials, when he first heard the news, he also thought to you, how can there be such a lucky person in the world, but if you stay here for a while, you will understand that if God wants to favor a person, then this person must be extraordinary."

A few people laughed and entered the Liangshan restaurant. Today is the Lantern Festival, and the lobby of Liangshan Restaurant is full, and even the upstairs seat is full. Gu Haotian had long expected this situation, and asked Pan Jinlian to come over to arrange it first, and a few people entered a room in the back building, but it was a place where Bian's and other stewards were on weekdays, and this would have been cleaned up, and a small table and a few dishes were also elegant.

Xiao Jiasui took the wine bottle first, poured wine with the crowd, and said: "This is a top-grade fairy drunk, Brother Guan Zhong may not be able to taste it outside, so try it first." ”

"This fairy is drunk, the little brother is like thunder, but I am ashamed to say it, but I haven't spoken it yet, let alone what is of the highest quality, but now it is itchy and unbearable, you don't want to laugh, drink a cup first."

Xu Guanzhong was not pretentious, picked up the wine glass, tasted it first, and then dried it down, and said after a long aftertaste: "Good wine, good wine, worthy of the name all over the world." ”

"The most important thing in Liangshan Manor is the immortal drunkenness, if Guan Zhong likes it, he will live there, and naturally there will be no shortage of you."

Wen Huanzhang saw that Jin was intoxicated, and couldn't help but quip.

Then hot dishes kept coming up, and after tasting them, Xu Guanzhong sighed with emotion: "No wonder Mr. Wen can't bear to go here, and he is reluctant to leave if he is here." ”

"That's right, leave everyone happy together." Wen Huanzhang responded with a smile, and then sighed, "It's a pity that Liangshan is a lonely island in the water after all, and the world is restless, I'm afraid this place won't last long." ”

Wen Huanzhang's words were very informative, but Xu Guanzhong was a wise person who understood it completely. The dark officialdom of the imperial court is corrupt, and although Liangshan has a special geographical location, it can't escape the eyes of the world after all, and it may be the prey of the powerful at that time. He suddenly thought of the elite guards and the huge water village in the manor, which had been planned for a long time. So he asked tentatively:

"The terrain here is excellent, and if you take a little precautions, ordinary people can't help it."

"Hmph, if it's not for us to boast, if you want to protect yourself, who in this world can enter my Liangshan, even if the imperial court sends troops."

Xiao Jiasui didn't wait for others to speak, and said domineeringly. He understood that Gu Haotian wanted to keep Xu Guanzhong, so he deliberately revealed some of Liangshan's strength, which was actually a natural expression of his pride as a Liangshan person.

"After all, the imperial court is still ......"

Xu Guanzhong saw that Xiao Jiasui was very angry, thinking that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and he couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

"I know what Brother Xu is thinking, but I want to ask, in addition to the northwest and Hebei, the Great Zhou court still has some troops that can still fight, and the rest can have soldiers who can fight, even if they can make up some, the likes of Gao Yu and Tong Guan, and the overall situation of using soldiers and understanding are also known. Otherwise, there will be no faint move of Lianjin to attack Liao, but it is a pity that my Han family, the rivers and mountains of Li Min will be ruined again. ”

Xiao Jiasui is a descendant of the Liang Dynasty clan and has no respect for the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty, so his words are also very clear.

"Lianjin attacked Liao, and Mr. Xiao also thought it was undesirable."

Xu Guanzhong has lived in Hebei for a long time, and is very concerned about the war in the north, after he heard the rumors of the imperial court Lianjin attacking Liao, he repeatedly scrutinized and summarized it inappropriately, but he was not sure, at this time he suddenly heard what Xiao Jiasui said, and suddenly found a bosom friend, so he did not discuss the strength of the imperial court, and hurriedly asked about the northern strategy.

"This matter is not a strong point, and I only fully understood it after listening to the analysis of the petty officials, so I just ask him to talk about it."

It turned out to be Gu Haotian's idea, Xu Guanzhong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't believe it, these two people had to give gold to his petty officials.

"Guan Zhong doesn't believe it?"

Wen Huanzhang saw his doubts, and then said:

"I'm ashamed to say that when Zhou Daxia and I arrived at this time, we also listened to Haotian's analysis, and then I thought of this possibility. Last year, in the autumn of Jeju, Haotian wrote that "Jin is a young tiger, Liao is an old wolf, and Zhou is a field horse in the circle, helping the wolf to resist the tiger, or there is a glimmer of life, driving the tiger to devour the wolf, then sooner or later it will be the food of the tiger's mouth." This article is also circulated in Jeju Shilin, but it is just a mixed bag, and it is not difficult to inquire. ”

Wen Huanzhang's words made Xu Guanzhong believe what Xiao Jiasui said, but he was already shocked by the statement of "young tiger, old wolf, and field horse", and the original confusion about the situation in the Three Kingdoms was suddenly resolved. couldn't help but re-examine this young little official and this unusual manor, and he suddenly remembered Xiao Jiasui's domineering words just now, could it be ......

"The little officials think that if there is really that day, what will happen to Liangshan Manor?" So Xu Guanzhong asked worriedly.

"As a descendant of Yan and Huang, you can let the sons and daughters of the Han family fall under the iron hooves of Hulu, if I Liangshan still has a little strength, if I Gu Haotian still has a breath, I will never let the tragedy of Wuhu Chaohua repeat."

Gu Haotian's expression was solemn and loud.

"If a petty official steps on the northern frontier, Xiao Jiasui will be attached to the tail,"

"Although Wen Huanzhang is old, wouldn't it be nice if he could go to Mobei for a walk in his lifetime."

Let's say that Xu Guanzhong listened to the words of the three people, and he was already enthusiastic, he laughed and said proudly:

"This kind of grand event of the Han family is rare in a thousand years, how can I be without Xu Guanzhong."

"With the help of all the talents, Haotian is very fortunate, Liangshan is very fortunate, and the people in the world are very fortunate." Gu Haotian stood up as he spoke, stretching out his right hand, "Yuan and you will work together to move forward." ”

"Together, we will move forward."

Wen, Xiao, and Xu repeated in unison, and then the four hands were tightly clasped together.

On the night of the Lantern Festival in 1112 AD, no one can estimate what role these four clasped hands in Liangshan Restaurant played in the cause of Liangshan. Later history books, when describing this event, wrote the following title:

"Sanying gathers, Longteng Liangshan."
