Qingzhou, the reorganized prefect's yamen.

As soon as Wang Lun left with the Liangshan heroes, Zhu Biao escorted Murong Yanda back to Qingzhou.

As soon as Murong Yanda came back from a walk, the master of the prefect's yamen walked in, came to Murong Yanda's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the angel from the capital has come, saying that he has brought a holy decree, and he asked your lord to come over to receive the decree." ”

Hearing the master's words, Murong Yanda's brows were a plene, how could the court give him a holy decree in such a good manner, but he was puzzled, Murong Yanda still got up and followed the master to the hall outside.

When I arrived at the hall, I saw a father-in-law waiting there with a holy purpose in his hand, and the person next to him was none other than Chen Zongshan, the former lieutenant of the palace, Murong Yanda walked in two steps quickly, and said with a smile: "I don't know if the angel has arrived, I have missed the distance, and I will atone for my sins." ”

"Lord Murong, don't be polite, our family is just a messenger, but we can't afford to forgive the adult. Okay, let's not talk much nonsense, let's do the right thing, Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou, took the order. Na Zhongguan said with a smile.

Murong Yanda knelt on the ground at the moment and said loudly: "Minister Murong Yanda takes the order." ”

The father-in-law who was passing the decree next to him opened the decree and read it freely, Murong Yanda didn't stretch when he heard this, and he always frowned.

The general meaning of the holy decree is that Song Jiang and others, the righteous bandit of Baihu Mountain in Qingzhou, are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and they are specially ordered to be edicted, and Song Jiang is the rebellious general of the timely rain, Song Qing of the iron fan is the general of the military division, and the Jinmao Hu Yanshun is the vanguard, and the rest of the leaders are all captains, leading the people and horses of the headquarters to conquer the Liangshan bandits.

Returned to the Qingzhou prefect Murong Yanda moderation.

Now that the holy decree has been issued, Murong Yanda can only do what the holy decree says, seeing that it is getting late, Murong Yanda has a large banquet in his own mansion and invites Chen Zongshan, the former lieutenant of the palace.

Chen Zongshan came here, and there was another task for Murong Yanda, which was to let him help Guan Sheng.

asked about the itinerary of Guan Sheng's army, but he also arrived at the Shandong border a few days ago. I just heard that Dongping Mansion and Dongchang Mansion had fallen, and I had already led troops to recover the city. One is to train the soldiers, and the other is to restore the morale of the officers and soldiers.

During the conversation with Chen Zongshan, Murong Yanda couldn't help but worry about Liang Shan. However, this time, Zhao'an Song Jiang and other rivers and lakes were reckless, which made Murong Yanda see the hope of revenge.

Early the next morning, Murong Yanda, together with Chen Zongshan, led five hundred forbidden troops escorted by Zhu Biao out of Qingzhou City and rushed to Baihu Mountain.

Huang Wenbing had already informed Song Jiang and others on Baihu Mountain in advance, and Song Jiang also personally led the leaders on the mountain to wait in front of the mountain early.

Song Jiang stood on the top of the mountain, saluted in all directions, and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, this imperial court edict is not as good as before, we are patient, treat nobles, and achieve good things." When the people heard this, they muttered.

Song Jiang said again: "The cottage food is exhausted, the people are sleepy and the horses are tired for a long time, and if they don't return to obedience, sooner or later they will be trapped in the city of sorrow." Now that he has come to recruit, we will follow his wishes, and will rest for a year and a half, and then come up the mountain again, and it is not too late to regain his strength. ”

Where the words fell, some people cheered and encouraged, and some bared their teeth and sneered.

Wang Daodao: "It's good, it's good, it's not good to go down the mountain for a long time, you can't eat and drink, and the bird fades out of your mouth." This time, you have to lie down and drink bitterly, and get drunk for three days and three nights before resting. Yan Shun also said: "I will wait for a cadre to conclude Jinlan, gather together for righteousness, and vow to live together, and die to be together." If you go down the mountain, if you dare to have a different heart, everyone will be punished! The crowd was shocked.

The time was around noon, and Murong Yanda and the others arrived at White Tiger Mountain.

Baihu Mountain is very lively, the sheds are colorful, and the case is set up to burn incense. There is no shortage of flags, ceremonial guards, legal objects, and all ceremonies. Gongs and drums, cymbals, suona, and thousands of sounds in unison. Everyone was side by side, chaotic, and looking at it eagerly.

Everywhere you look, but people and horses are like dragons, endless. A carriage ended ceremoniously, covered in vermilion lacquer, and the ribbon was waved in the wind. On the top of the boat, a golden flag was inserted, and the big book read: "Recruit Liang Shanshui to proclaim and appease Chen." ”

"The whole group of Baihu Mountain visited Taiwei Chen, the prefect of Murong." Far away, Song Jiang smiled and bowed, and said loudly.

Looking at Song Jiang and the others, although Chen Zongshan couldn't look at it, he had to step forward, helped Song Jiang with a smile, and said: "Leader Song doesn't have to be like this, Song Leader is loyal to the monarch's heart to serve the country, Your Majesty is amazed and added, today the special leader came to appease all the righteous people, it can be described as the emperor's grace." ”

Song Jiang and the others knelt down for a while, thanking the emperor for his kindness, and after everyone greeted each other in front of the mountain, Song Jiang invited Chen Zongshan and Murong Yanda and others to go to Baihu Mountain.

When I came to the mountain, the Juyi Hall had already been cleaned, the lights were colorful, the red was hung high, and it was full of festivity, and Song Jiang invited Chen Zongshan and Murong Yanda to the upper seat.

Song Jiang hurriedly straightened out his face, his bones were tired, he pushed the gold mountain, poured the jade pillar, and bowed his head and said: "Song Jiang, the little official of Yuncheng, pay homage to the minister." ”

Chen Zongshan said: "Righteous people, please get up." ”

The red sun is in the sky, the red flame is rising, and it is noon.

Song Qingdao: "Adults have worked tirelessly, and they have come to save me, which is equivalent to fire and water." Great kindness and great virtue, small can be a cow and a horse, and the ring is knotted with grass, and I am afraid that the retribution will be inexhaustible. ”

Seeing Huang Xin sneered.

When Murong Yanda saw Huang Xin, he also thought of Qin Ming, and he didn't like it in his heart.

I only heard Song Qingdao: "The incense case is ready, please raise the jade step." ”

At that time, the gongs and drums were noisy, the suona was deafening, the fireworks were endless, and the smoke was everywhere. But I saw that the mountain was full of people, and it was scattered all over the ground.

Song Jiang sang again and returned to the battlefield with Song Qing.

After a while, Chen Zongshan walked to the side of the case, read aloud, and said:

"The system says: There are no two ends in the heart of a person; The eternal way of the country is the same reason. If you do good, you will be a good citizen, and if you do evil, you will be against the party. I heard that Baihu Mountain has gathered people for a long time, but it has not been benevolent, and it has not regained its conscience. Today, the angel issued an edict, and Song Jiang, Huang Xin, Song Qing, Dai Zong and other large and small people committed evils and forgave them. The leader is Yijing Thanksgiving; Those who assist will return to their hometowns. Woohoo, quickly dip into the rain and dew, so as to go to the evil and return to the right; Don't commit thunder, should follow the meaning of reform. Therefore, it is hereby decreed that it is advisable to know. Edict of November 20. ”

After reading it, the voices were boiling, and the people in Baihu Mountain were noisy. Chen Zongshan is as if nothing has happened, and he teaches wine directly. Song Jiang was overjoyed and was the first to accept his kindness.

At this time, the imperial court did not know that Dong Ping had fallen into the grass of Baihu Mountain, so it was not written in the edict. However, Dong Ping went up to Baihu Mountain, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and he was accompanied by Cheng Wan'er's beauty, so he was happy.

It's just that like him and Huang Xin, who have official status, it will be difficult for them to return to their posts.

Naturally, everyone was thankful again, and the big and small leaders on the mountain were awarded official positions, rewarded the three armies, and feasted in a large row, and the White Tiger Mountain was full of joy.

Briefly explained, Song Jiang and his group can be regarded as breaking away from the identity of criminals and thieves, and officially became officials of the imperial court, and still led the people of the headquarters to be stationed in Baihu Mountain, waiting for dispatch.
